[0:01] Good morning. Good morning. It is August 12, 1816. We're going to open up our just Kenny Board of Commissioners meeting. And first off, we have our administrative session, which is our elected official department director, roundtable.

[0:21] So, let's start off with Matt, that's more than right.

[0:26] For our commissioners, that was a public work director.

[0:30] We made an offer to track control and sign technician and accepted, so, probably get that

[0:37] on the agenda for probably the end of the month.

[0:41] So that was good.

[0:42] We went through a good process, but that was the new full-time employee that you guys approved.

[0:47] So, and then we said I want to open position and we'll start recruiting for it again, probably after

[0:53] Chipsy-O and we have more time really die hand and I think the culture is changing a little bit with some

[1:00] construction and different things slowing down and our jobs looking more attractive. So looking forward to good recruitment.

[1:08] Other than that we're busy with weed enforcement, just getting ready for Chipsy-O or asphalt patching and cleaning

[1:14] culverts and put tabs and just getting it ready to chip seal, sorry Monday.

[1:19] So that's what we'll start.

[1:21] We did have a paving project, the Colfax, Highland and Green closed yesterday with three contractors

[1:29] and you know, it was a bit of a gamble with oil prices and different things, but we got some excellent bits.

[1:36] We saved probably just over 200,000 in from the estimate.

[1:42] So, the beds came in really, really good.

[1:45] So, we're very excited about that.

[1:48] And then, today, hopefully, we can award that

[1:50] Ponyview project, that one's same thing.

[1:53] Good pricing, good bits under the estimate.

[1:56] So, good there.

[1:58] And then, still working on feather bridge.

[2:03] You know, we got notified from White's office that the money's been

[2:07] portion and now it's gone to the state where we stopped to ODOT and they said that

[2:12] seen it yet but they'll let us know as soon as we get it so a little bit of a delay

[2:19] there is that something that

[2:24] do we do we cover that and then we get reimbursed for it

[2:29] or do we wait till the actual money is there in the bank account how does yeah

[2:33] typically I think and I don't know with this funding might be a little bit different but

[2:38] typically it's we pay and then they remain that's what I thought yeah so are we

[2:43] are we waiting for to actually get the money or can we get done and then went

[2:49] when the timing allows and then get reimbursed a lot of times I think we have to

[2:54] wait to have an agreement and once the agreement is signed then we can start

[3:00] It's hard to go.

[3:02] Yeah.

[3:02] The state level's hands are the winged.

[3:04] I know.

[3:05] Yeah.

[3:06] And I went pretty high this time in ODOT.

[3:09] And I don't know who I got, but it was someone that I've never met or heard of.

[3:13] It was someone way up in ODOT.

[3:16] Well, I don't want ODOT to score any money.

[3:18] Yeah.

[3:19] Yeah.

[3:19] It's like my stall.

[3:28] Yeah.

[3:32] What ever it takes to.

[3:34] Yeah, speaking much, I think, as you have reviewed, Dave will be here today to ask for

[3:39] a loan.

[3:42] And we're planning to chip seal, Jennifer, but in the cracks seal, the Canyon view, special

[3:48] road district.

[3:49] So those two road districts work with them this year.

[3:53] And that's about it, public works.

[3:55] It

[3:58] was brought up to regarding the PSMF, the SM, where we'd be...

[4:05] Or really to Northern?

[4:07] Blocking down it.

[4:09] Probably you'll re-cut.

[4:10] I suppose during the round meal, anything we can do to...

[4:17] To reach out to them.

[4:18] No, you don't need to do it down on during a down-air truck or not.

[4:21] Jumping with the Collins.

[4:24] Yeah.

[4:24] Or they used to.

[4:25] Yeah, they did.

[4:26] Yeah.

[4:26] Jeff just mentioned at this morning I do have a contact and I'll reach out and see you know what they say

[4:39] The same topic and I think with the problem a little bit of it is is there's not much room between dover and

[4:46] And how do you read so they're kind of blocking one or another when they're trained so a little bit longer

[4:53] really got it back up. And at the end, we've seen what we're calling tonight. Their comment was they were there for...

[5:00] So, but I think we could figure out how to, uh, with Matt and maybe a frontier, a schedule to figure out real

[5:10] more of a real-time contact. So, if there is an emergency, they can always attempt to figure out who

[5:17] how they're going to get that with, I don't know, I know. Yeah. Yeah. We were here first, doesn't work when the fire

[5:22] It's a train to the back, so, and they cost some of the fires.

[5:27] Yeah, that's good.

[5:32] Any other questions for this one?

[5:38] I know it'll probably be coming down the line, but just road assessment based off of fire and fire traffic.

[5:47] And if there's any damage to county roads, I don't know what that threshold would be.

[5:54] that we just need to figure that out and get back turned in at some point.

[6:00] So you keep that on your radar.

[6:04] I guess that would trigger for a court of view.

[6:07] Fires.

[6:10] Okay.

[6:13] That's all I had.

[6:16] Well, we're going to go backwards.

[6:18] Good morning.

[6:19] Good morning.

[6:20] Yeah, I'm sorry.

[6:22] Yeah, I'm sorry.

[6:23] I'm sorry.

[6:23] The number of, are you the one that's collecting the information?

[6:28] Yes.

[6:29] You have the right to call for coming.

[6:31] You've been nominated this far.

[6:32] Well, it ranges, you know, I've had people email me, that said.

[6:37] I want all the rows open.

[6:39] Then there's none.

[6:40] So all the county rows have been nominated.

[6:42] But essentially, I narrowed it down to a list of about 12 or 13 of actual statements that people

[6:49] you know, actually nominated instead of just a blanket, open all of them or close all of them.

[6:56] When are we supposed to go?

[6:58] Monday.

[7:00] Monday, 2 p.m.

[7:01] Okay.

[7:06] Thank you.

[7:07] So not reinventing me.

[7:09] There's a lot of people that had city streets and forest service roads, things like that.

[7:16] So I didn't even include those on the list.

[7:18] I shortened it to just the section that is county owned and maintained.

[7:23] All right, sorry.

[7:25] Oh, sorry.

[7:26] Now it's your turn, Laura.

[7:28] Who's this?

[7:29] I'll tell you I'm sure it's going to be quiet now.

[7:31] I don't know.

[7:33] Don't worry.

[7:34] Good morning.

[7:36] So, next Wednesday, the 19th.

[7:41] We have O.D.

[7:43] The quarter three training.

[7:45] Virtual.

[7:47] So, the office will be closed most of the day.

[7:50] If not the whole day.

[7:50] depending on how long that is.

[7:54] Sometimes they let us out early, so our speaker's cancel,

[7:59] so we'll see what happens with that.

[8:02] And then we'll be there, just not there.

[8:09] And we try to call everybody back on brakes

[8:12] and email people back, so it's not backed up

[8:15] before we leave for the week.

[8:17] So it's usually not an issue,

[8:19] we do our best to do that.

[8:23] Tuesday, September 22nd, working with Best Care, we're going to have a suicide prevention

[8:29] training here.

[8:30] It's a new training that they have called E-Sensitive Bee Brave for suicide prevention.

[8:37] So I sent out an email, earlier in my thought, so if it's a two hour training, we'll

[8:44] lunch, anybody's interested in attending. I'm curious to see how this is different than, you know,

[8:53] some of the other trainings, but we'll see how well like goes. And then we're just trying to

[9:05] do our normal and working, trying to work on finalized Thanksgiving and then working on

[9:11] I'm getting a venue for Christmas because the community center is booked on those Saturdays and Sundays around Christmas.

[9:19] So, the only other option if I need to use that space is to have it during the week and, you know, that time of year, you don't know if it's going to be ice and, you know, that kind of thing in the evening.

[9:31] So, Mike Williams is talking to the elk so we'll see if I can have it there, but anybody knows another building maybe able to have it and just living out.

[9:42] And then next month,

[9:47] Kevin and I are going to take some time off next month and an October.

[9:50] So I'll send you the schedule for that once I have that finalized.

[9:56] So things are a little slower right now because of all of the smoke.

[10:00] So if you know anybody that needs any help, just tell them to call us and we can probably see them same day, most of these days, if it stays like this.

[10:13] So it's about all I got.

[10:15] Yeah. Okay.

[10:17] You question your trip?

[10:19] My trip?

[10:21] It is like, did you have a trip here in Los Angeles?

[10:25] Conference?

[10:26] Conference?

[10:29] It was...

[10:30] That one?

[10:31] Two months ago.

[10:32] Last month?

[10:33] Last month?

[10:34] Last month?

[10:35] Yeah.

[10:35] That was a...

[10:37] State National Conference?

[10:39] Are you talking about national conference?

[10:42] Yeah. That was...

[10:43] Is that me?

[10:51] I've been out some because of my asthma, with the smoke, it's got to get air filter in the office

[11:00] though, so that helps, but yeah, so yeah, that sounds like my Savannah's home in my air filter.

[11:08] It was a 65 years since Agent One.

[11:16] Maybe that right?

[11:17] Oh, the Vietnam date?

[11:19] Yeah.

[11:20] I cannot remember that off the top of my head.

[11:23] I don't want to lie to you.

[11:24] I go ahead and set it and that's all.

[11:26] And I saw a 65 years.

[11:28] I can look at it and send it to you.

[11:29] No, it's not a big deal.

[11:31] I was just...

[11:32] Okay.

[11:34] Yeah.

[11:35] I mean, I'm sure you guys have seen it in the news.

[11:37] So the VA is doing testing

[11:43] on like psilocybin, the mushrooms, for veterans, so that should

[11:49] be interesting once those studies are concluded, how that goes.

[11:57] So it's not being done here, I think it's Alabama and Seattle, from what I've read, it's

[12:04] not local some trials or something yeah yeah keep us let us know how that

[12:15] training goes that suicide prevention training okay well you're welcome to

[12:21] go a little bit right here

[12:24] let me check my schedule

[12:28] you know I'm hoping it may be a pill to a different you know group of people we don't

[12:33] normally net, we'll see. So I mean it's open to the community, it's free so anybody can come

[12:42] and see what happens. It didn't know what kind of quality the training is.

[12:48] Yeah, so. Good to know. Okay. Any questions for Laura?

[13:00] Good morning, Diane. Good morning, Diane.

[13:02] capacellia HR director. So I just have a couple of things that we've sent out recently.

[13:09] We have a mention learned tomorrow, two different times. This is going to be on deferred compensation,

[13:15] trying to encourage people to apply our employees to put more money away for retirement.

[13:22] And so she is, or Jennifer Jordan, some from corporate is going to be doing the presentation.

[13:27] And there will be one at 11 and one at 1 o'clock.

[13:31] And those are both in the public health community room.

[13:37] And then there will be food that has been served at that as well.

[13:44] And then we have, we had an announcement about health insurance premiums.

[13:48] It's kind of probably didn't really make that much difference to a lot of people,

[13:52] because it's really a small amount that it's changing.

[13:56] But our health insurance premiums are actually going to be a little lower,

[14:00] than we previously communicated, they're going to be $147.87 per month as opposed to $149.08.

[14:09] And that was just some information hadn't been shared about the final amount that they charged

[14:16] us.

[14:19] So, and then we have currently three positions still open.

[14:25] One is, I think you're going to be doing some interviews this week, so for maintenance tech

[14:30] three, we had the senior accountant and the corrections nurse position open.

[14:38] And then we have traditional health worker for public health, I think they've finished

[14:44] interviewing, but Katie's out this week, so I'm not sure where that is right now and

[14:51] maintenance tech.

[14:52] and then we have the offer that's out for the traffic controller and then we had one separation.

[15:00] This month or this, I guess it was this month. So that's been pretty low, actually, celebration. Great. So, which is good.

[15:11] Awesome. That's it.

[15:14] Any questions for that year?

[15:18] As long as it's easy, hold digits.

[15:19] Yeah, I'm happy.

[15:20] Great.

[15:23] Awesome.

[15:24] Good morning.

[15:25] Good morning.

[15:27] Pretty busy over and don't you've been outside of things.

[15:29] one of our adult peos is out for the next 12 weeks. So I'm assisting in covering that case load.

[15:38] It's we're at 272 adults on supervision as a B.S. today. That number seems to have been pretty consistent throughout the last three to four meetings.

[15:49] We probably have had our juveniles as a 108, which again seems to be pretty consistent with what I'm reporting to you guys.

[15:57] each meeting that we've had, I mean, the biggest obstacle on a dollar is forecasting our

[16:05] next biennium in the funding that we'll be receiving, the biggest push from OACCD that

[16:10] other directors throughout this state is just showing the value to legislation of the money

[16:15] that we save. So for example, our county alone, say 480 bad dates from the prison in

[16:25] two of this year, which is equals about $100,000 in savings, so you could imagine some of these

[16:32] bigger counties, the amounts that they're saving, the bets that they're saving, so there's

[16:37] just a lot more data, the structures you're tracking to put that before them. Outside of that,

[16:45] I don't have any updates, things are smooth on the juvenile side, they're not too crazy, they're

[16:53] see though, we will be meeting with one of our local judges to kind of come up with the plan

[17:01] with navigating tribal youth and how we are our request is to send criminal cases to the tribe

[17:12] for them to manage locally just like now for youth, commit to crime and to shoots. They live in

[17:18] it comes to us. She's been very difficult in a large gap between the reservation, ourselves, and the courts.

[17:29] So that's something that we're pushing for the reservation wants to be selective in the crimes that they take, which is not helpful for us.

[17:44] Essentially, they want to take the easy things, and so it leaves a large gap for us and not

[17:50] saying all the kids who commit the more serious crimes, but they're the ones who need that

[17:56] large helping hand, especially from their local community where they live, where they have access

[18:01] to where long force making 3-litre go, you know, we can't just go visit a kid, so it is a very

[18:08] challenging situation for us right now.

[18:11] Do you think that sounds like a really good and noble endeavor?

[18:16] Yeah.

[18:18] My big goal is to have some type of an agreement between us or reservation and the courts.

[18:24] I'm just so we have it documented.

[18:27] So hopefully in the near future we'll be coming with something.

[18:32] Is the hope?

[18:33] That's all I have.

[18:36] Okay, yeah, no, definitely keep us in the loop on that,

[18:44] and yeah, there could be some challenges if they're very selective and not being able to

[18:52] Write the service that means to be done

[18:56] Yeah, I can I get think of a few challenges that that could impose

[19:01] For sure, so I think we're going to be having some conversation with the tribes on

[19:06] homelessness and a few other issues.

[19:09] So this is just one that we can just add to the conversation too and just say, listen,

[19:13] we just need to start having a better partnership on the quality of the stuff and working

[19:18] well together.

[19:19] I mean, we're a team out here.

[19:21] So, we're great.

[19:24] Questions?

[19:26] Probably.

[19:27] I'd add one more thing.

[19:28] I meant to say this earlier.

[19:30] Yeah.

[19:30] We have an employee survey coming out and should be coming out this week.

[19:35] So, Jeff and I have been working on it for a little while and I think you guys all have a chance to review it, but it just wanted to let you know it's going to be out this week.

[19:44] Perfect.

[19:45] Oh, can I ask the question about that?

[19:47] So, on the what you sent out for the people, it asked about, you know, four day work week, 36 hours versus five days, 40 hours.

[20:03] Why would the four-day work week be cut hours, and they couldn't just work like four-tags?

[20:12] That makes sense. Yeah, it's just a different alternative schedule.

[20:16] That's being offered, it's not a mandatory place, and that is on board.

[20:22] I'll just carry it.

[20:23] I think more a part of that is being able to most departments being able to do your job

[20:31] is within certain timeframes of the day and so it would be essentially four extra hours

[20:38] for a lot of departments that wouldn't be able to do their job with the open kind of building

[20:47] schedule. If I'm right with that alternative, not everyone by any means but that's the reason

[20:57] for that alternate option is there's not much work to do before eight or after five for

[21:05] most departments. Okay. So it's not not everything is we get to our computer and

[21:14] work for an hour afterwards and catch up on stuff, it's more service like customer driven

[21:18] base and so that's where that old alternative came out so yeah okay go ahead Derek alright

[21:32] I'm Derek being community development so I'm just gonna briefly touch on a couple of things

[21:39] that I'm gonna drop you lots later today so one is a transition growth management grant

[21:45] applicant, or grant letter support, and that one of the things we're looking at doing is, and I'll

[21:52] talk about this a little bit more, is just kind of adding some agenda to our TSP, so do

[21:58] planning grant, and that would help take a look at some of our incorporated communities.

[22:07] I'm going to thank Diane for not stealing my thunder on this, so the separation I'll

[22:10] and responsibility for it.

[22:13] And so you know a question I'm going to ask you later on that.

[22:19] Book says the bad news, the good news is we're going to have a new smiling face here

[22:23] at Drift's in County.

[22:27] Works been fairly steady here in, you know, for permitting and what not, you know, pretty

[22:34] pretty on trend, for where I have reported on mass.

[22:37] We've got a hearings officer legislative hearing tomorrow, which is going to be interesting

[22:44] in Pushka Wunch, we'll be representing the wishes there, and then I've just been spending

[22:52] some time with being L.C.'s that are coming out of the governor's office, D.L.C.D. and various

[22:58] elected state legislature. So there's probably about 30 legislative concepts that I'm

[23:07] possibly aware of the pertain to land use right now.

[23:12] You know, we can assume that a handful of them are going to die in committee

[23:15] or maybe not going to get out of ways of means,

[23:18] but you know, when you're talking about this volume this early in the season,

[23:23] if you will, we can expect some pretty big changes coming one way or another

[23:29] because something's going to sink through or be pushed through or whatever case may be.

[23:33] So I'm just, say I don't know how's there and be in the presence of all that.

[23:39] So that's all I've got.

[23:42] Any any questions for a dairy?

[23:50] Just your knowledge.

[23:52] I don't need to determine.

[23:53] I did.

[23:54] And I don't know where it's going to go.

[23:55] But I did get a couple of questions asked about some zoning timber ground versus their

[24:04] Help me out.

[24:06] Tim, basically resource-like comparison, yeah, September vs. Farm. Yep, and what that entails

[24:12] and what that could look like if things got changed to a different resource management,

[24:19] which triggers different state regulations,

[24:26] because of some of that and then potentially

[24:28] could trigger some other coverage zone areas based off of the fire so we're going

[24:37] with Derek on what that might look like and get back to the landowners to

[24:42] see and I think if there is much interest in that the idea would be to do kind of

[24:58] Yeah.

[25:00] So we would have to get the separate process, but maybe the same as time line to work to dispatch.

[25:13] Yeah, yeah. And that's something I have it. Circle back with anyone in Kirk County yet.

[25:20] on some of those questions, but yeah, I think they would be, so just so you guys are aware of the

[25:29] conversation piece and I don't know where it's going to go.

[25:34] Any other questions for Derek?

[25:43] Tony? Tony? Tony? Anderson? Good to see you. Phil things he's going to just director

[25:49] oh and why? Yeah, Phil needs grounds. I'm hoping to interview hopefully later this week hopefully

[25:56] For our maintenance tech three position, and then we have an additional position that we still need to probably post for either maintenance tech two or three

[26:04] Get those positions filled, so right now. That's kind of especially at the jail facility. It's kind of falling on mind and rob site or shoulders to kind of manage

[26:14] Inside secure facility, so technical wise also, so

[26:21] meet those needs getting that work done

[26:25] working on the neighbor, the food pantry that's moving along, so after the last commission

[26:32] meeting we're moving forward with that and working with the project manager and having

[26:37] a meeting to kind of get the RFP for our technical services start moving in the meantime

[26:44] to I need to be working on an ADA survey for neighborhood impact and getting that part of our

[26:53] grant obligation done. So that could be a handful. Yeah, what did what was our

[27:02] contribution?

[27:05] Financial contribution? Yeah, I believe it was discussed 215 or up 22, you know,

[27:13] Maybe that was I think I'm confused. Okay, I think we threw in a little bit of money money, but I think that was the initial money

[27:21] First game for the first management now for some ADA stuff when they first

[27:27] We've been sorry

[27:29] Continue

[27:29] The ADA

[27:31] I don't want to stop on your toes, but the ADA project is ADA survey. We have to do all county properties

[27:38] Can you lie? Yeah, we did we gave the least to them. We also contributed money for them to fix any access issues

[27:51] Yes, okay

[27:52] Yeah, that was my distraction

[27:54] Yeah, yeah, so survey for

[27:57] Yeah, the oldies. That's what he served in ground. Yeah

[28:09] So I got to dive into that, I think we have to have a representative.

[28:13] Somebody has to represent the ADA community to go through and do the survey with me.

[28:20] Yeah.

[28:20] A lot of the person that helped us do that, just no longer around.

[28:26] Yeah.

[28:28] I found some documents that worked with Derek, but I don't think it was anything complete

[28:33] documents regarding the ADA.

[28:35] I think those more roads is the document I found sidewalks right away.

[28:40] It looked like somebody did some work a few years ago.

[28:43] And then I found the original one, the original survey

[28:45] when we did the Children's Learning Center,

[28:48] more of the CDBG grant.

[28:50] And Scott, I'll read the HR director at the time.

[28:53] Help with that project.

[28:56] Probably a little outdated.

[29:00] Yeah.

[29:00] And then just continue on with we have some irrigation breaks

[29:03] and repairs valves and everything.

[29:07] So a lot of work continuing to do.

[29:09] Where are we at?

[29:10] I've talked about irrigation, where are we at?

[29:12] With our irrigation water.

[29:13] We switched the domestic at Genevieveals Park.

[29:16] Okay.

[29:16] Enough on for the cemetery, just because we don't have domestic water.

[29:22] And connection at the cemetery and the likewise at the fairgrounds.

[29:27] So once we get closer, we'll obviously be utilizing 100% of our water rights.

[29:33] but we've already switched into messed-up at Jennifer Hills Park.

[29:41] Okay. Okay.

[29:44] Questions for Tony?

[29:48] Tony?

[29:49] Alexa? Good morning.

[29:52] Good morning.

[29:56] But I have to take questions.

[29:57] No, report.

[29:58] I will be on the office.

[30:00] Thursday and Friday of the week,

[30:05] but I will have my phone. Okay.

[30:12] I need to talk to you later today. Maybe after the

[30:15] meeting about potential declaration of emergency and what that might look like and what that could

[30:25] help. With processes down the road? Okay. I'm so

[30:29] help remind me on that. Kelly, do you have your list? The

[30:33] 20 questions from you, Alexa? You want to pull that out of

[30:36] holes?

[30:38] I need a signature from you today on the 805 for the jail

[30:42] buddy. So don't leave without signing that for me.

[30:48] And then I'll be finally not today. Perfect.

[30:51] So, good about the title, step one, good one.

[30:59] Any questions for the one side?

[31:04] Gate.

[31:06] I'm saving all my questions for Alexa for Thursday and Friday.

[31:08] I'll be texting her while she's out of the office.

[31:12] Good morning, commissioners.

[31:13] Gabriel Salise, Jefferson County Finance.

[31:16] We're working hard in finance, still through the audit, trying to close out prior fiscal year,

[31:21] of continuing to make efforts and threads on that.

[31:24] Even being down in FT, it's already a smoother process and it was last year.

[31:29] Things are further ahead than they were this time of year ago, which is nice.

[31:35] I'm not as stressed out about it this year.

[31:37] It's looking to be much smoother process.

[31:39] It's still a lot of work to go.

[31:41] Still a lot of time between now and when the auditors will be on site, as well as when we'll

[31:46] be finalizing that audit and bringing it to the commissioners.

[31:48] But I'm optimistic that things are going to go well with that.

[31:52] On your agenda today, you'll be considering

[31:54] the one application we received on title three funds.

[31:58] So that is, you timed item for you.

[32:00] I know CYC is sending an individual here to discuss our project

[32:04] with the commissioners, so you'll receive some information

[32:06] from them on that.

[32:07] And then I have a draft motion for the commissioners

[32:10] to consider, should you want to take action.

[32:13] And I believe that's item 8.5 on your rate for agenda.

[32:17] We will be turning right around and doing the whole process again for Title 3.

[32:21] I'll be bringing that before you at your last meeting in August, because as you remember,

[32:27] we received essentially two disbursements in a single year because they didn't disperse last year.

[32:33] So rather than kind of run those two concurrently, I wanted to really keep them separate processes.

[32:39] and so have the one that we're running through now and then we'll turn around and run

[32:44] through it again for the next $2 amount that was received.

[32:48] Just a T, I guess that conversation up, you can pull up maybe the history of that fund and

[32:56] what we've spent and what the balance is over the last whatever three or four years you have.

[33:03] Yep, absolutely.

[33:04] I know that's always something you can do to look at when we go through that process.

[33:09] Yep, I can absolutely do that.

[33:11] Yep, I will have that ready for you at your last meeting in August.

[33:16] As mentioned, down in FTE, so we're continuing recruitment efforts for the Senior Accountant,

[33:22] and hoping to push that out, make another push, hopefully get some more applicants.

[33:27] It's had a lot of activity as far as people click in on it.

[33:30] have over 2,000 hits on the post, but only had a small handful of applicants, only a couple

[33:38] of which had been qualified. So hoping another push will see some more individuals apply and

[33:44] hope to get that filled as soon as we can.

[33:49] On the property tax side, we do have four closure lists

[33:53] that will be going to publication next week. I believe that last count we had between 25 and 30

[34:00] accounts that were on that list. That's significantly more than in years past, but there

[34:06] is a handful of those. I want to say 10 of them come from the 2024 foreclosure year, which

[34:14] we're republishing this year. There was some things that occurred at the courts, just some

[34:21] action that we needed to take. So we're pushing them all onto this year along with our 26 foreclosure

[34:27] list. So, given that, we're only at about 20. It's still more than typical. It's still

[34:34] roughly double what we publish.

[34:40] So, you know, well, yeah, I probably should have mentioned

[34:42] that to you. But then it's still your standard. Yes, the data that it's published is also

[34:47] the data that application management is filed with the courts. That has to be wrong. So,

[34:52] by Statue.

[34:55] Okay, so that will occur next week.

[34:57] Kind of know.

[34:59] Halley is working very close.

[35:09] We'll see if we can get paid and not go completely through the foreclosure list, but time to tell

[35:16] What about the dollar value? Is that significantly more? Because the number of accounts doesn't necessarily mean the dollar figure is

[35:28] Yeah, that off the top of my head. I don't know

[35:32] I would have to take a look at the list again. I can certainly get that information for you if you like

[35:38] To see I'm guessing you're referring to what's going like the taxes. Oh, yeah, the value of the property

[35:45] But the taxes do. Yeah, I can certainly get that to you. I can run those numbers for a quick week today and get that to you.

[35:52] Some of them is out of the good question though. Yeah, I think that's about it.

[36:01] Let's audit and tax trying to find a senior accountant. Okay.

[36:07] Questions for game?

[36:12] When

[36:19] the ad to Gabe's title three, I think in his sample motion, we've included language for you to consider.

[36:25] or the full payment to the Oregon living with fire to come out of the title three funds right now.

[36:33] You have that split half out of TRT and half out of title three.

[36:39] Chair Watch and I met with Oregon living with fire.

[36:42] They helped us kind of confirm that our surrounding counties pay 100% of their dues into that organization out of the title three.

[36:52] So that would be an option for you guys to free up some CR-2 products.

[37:01] Okay.

[37:03] That's it.

[37:05] Good morning, Chair.

[37:08] What's it going?

[37:13] As far as hiring goes, we have three people in the process for corrections.

[37:18] As you guys know, patrols full.

[37:21] So things are checking along pretty good on the patrol side.

[37:27] We've had some pretty eventful stuff happen in the last few months, anything from, you know, obviously fires to some pretty significant drug cases.

[37:42] So, excited about some of that stuff, there's some other stuff that came out of that.

[37:50] What else have we got?

[37:53] Jill, let me stuff, and having conversations with Alexa about some of the information

[37:59] that's going on, the website is going to be submitting some stuff to Secretary of State for

[38:05] Safe Harbor, and hopefully we'll get to return on that sometime before the end of the

[38:11] week, and get a website up and run in, and so you'll see some of that later on today.

[38:24] So

[38:31] I'm going to be Katie for a second.

[38:35] They received public health receive some kind of, I think it's a grant or something.

[38:39] I don't want to mess it up.

[38:40] But basically, they get our donation.

[38:42] They have these box fans that have the filters on them.

[38:46] I'm going to have some delivered this afternoon to the senior center.

[38:51] But if you know anybody that needs those, they do have them over there,

[38:55] or we'll have them over at the senior center.

[38:58] So just let me know if you want,

[38:59] I can just sit out of email saying,

[39:01] you know, you can pick them up there, whatever,

[39:04] if you need someone to probably see if I can get them

[39:06] to deliver it to you guys or whatever.

[39:10] But it thinks, Lori, yeah, it's a project

[39:13] with Jefferson County Roadary Club.

[39:15] And so Roadary Club is receiving the 100

[39:17] box fan kits today.

[39:20] They're gonna be delivered to public health

[39:21] and then public health is gonna be

[39:22] to strip each other through those.

[39:23] Yeah. Awesome. So yeah, if you guys know other organizations that might have a need for those.

[39:31] Let us stay see shop of public health as heading up that distribution.

[39:37] Awesome.

[39:41] Comment sheriff, did you get Senator Widen to have a briefing at your office or not yet?

[39:49] No response yet.

[39:53] That was very well sent.

[40:12] Anything else before we break?

[40:17] Thank you, we'll take a whole break, and we'll back it back.

[40:35] Welcome back, if I could have a warm please stay in for the pledge of allegiance.

[41:02] Good morning, would you all join me in prayer this morning? Do you have any fathers become before you today?

[41:07] I want to first start with Thanksgiving and say God with the fires that were in our county.

[41:12] Thank you.

[41:12] It could have been much worse, wasn't.

[41:15] And so I want to thank you for that.

[41:16] Thank you for our firefighters who saved life and saved homes.

[41:20] God, we do lift up those and pray for those who have experienced loss in these fires.

[41:24] I pray for a full-fold increase back to them Lord God.

[41:29] I pray that we would be family, friends, and neighbors that would come alongside those

[41:34] that have experienced loss and love our neighbor as we love ourselves again.

[41:40] God, I want to quote Shakespeare and the play Macbeth,

[41:44] that sometimes people look at life as double, double,

[41:47] toil and trouble, but God maybe a better way to look at life as it's just a

[41:52] series of problem solving adventures.

[41:55] And so Lord, I pray for our problem solvers here today, our county leaders,

[41:59] that as they look at the agenda and make decisions on our behalf that you

[42:03] give them diligence, you would give them wisdom, keen insight into our community and the needs

[42:09] of our people, and God that they would make favorable decisions that the people would say,

[42:15] yes, we agree. Thank you for our leaders. I pray you bless them. Thank you for this beautiful

[42:21] day. Amen. Bless you guys. I appreciate your much. I can really.

[42:44] Public comment. Anyone in the room?

[42:47] public comments. Come on up. State your name for the record and

[42:57] and try and keep things to three minutes. Please let me know. I had a

[43:01] time if you think you need more than three minutes. We'll try and stick the three

[43:06] minutes so we can stay on schedule. Anyone on mine please raise your hand or

[43:12] are six of you on the phone and we will call upon you. Good morning.

[43:20] For the record, I'm Nikki Killing's worth. 798 southeast over late in the address of Oregon.

[43:25] I represent Justin County Farm Bureau. I'm here for three comments. One, keep our fair

[43:34] of the way it is. Do not let the carnival take up 80% of the parking lot they didn't

[43:41] where you can't, you have to walk a mile to get in to watch the shows.

[43:46] So, in reevaluate how the Fair Board reevaluate that if the 4-H kitchen isn't contracted and open,

[43:57] when the vendors open at 8 a.m. in the morning, you lost revenue, they lost revenue,

[44:03] and there was no place to get coffee hot chocolate or donuts with kids when you get there for this lunch.

[44:09] are really show. But I will tell you this, our fair is so much better than we can.

[44:18] So, I appreciate that. Next, I appreciate the fire fighting, especially on round

[44:25] view. I'm again going to bring up years ago. I brought up when the solar farms were being

[44:30] excited. There needs to be in their contract. They are responsible for training, paying for

[44:37] training of our fire department emergency units to know how to deal with if the solar

[44:45] fire farms catch on fire because it's a whole totally different fire than what everybody

[44:51] used to and the county and the residents should not be paying for that and the other should

[44:57] fire department in the MF.

[44:59] So when you...

[45:00] I mean contracts, I would look at putting a clause in there. They are responsible for having, you're going to ask your fire department, chief or whoever it is, what do they need to pay for blah, blah, blah.

[45:14] And have a recommendation and say, this is what we want you guys to put in to support the county.

[45:20] Because if that's so far I'm going to call it on fire the way we built as you know in the hole

[45:25] That is toxic. It's terribly toxic. So what is the plan and what are they going to do?

[45:33] But they should be responsible to make sure our people are trained for their safety hazard

[45:39] I know they do it, but it's a whole different thing as fast as that fire was moving

[45:46] then next

[45:47] Third, I attended a planning commission work session and I hate work sessions because public

[45:54] can't say anything and one of the discussions was going to a hearing officer.

[46:03] I'm not our board's not for that. You have very good volunteer planning commissioners.

[46:10] Half of them I don't agree with, part of the time.

[46:12] But when I pull up the record, most of the decisions they have made have not been appealed.

[46:22] And I think it's key for you guys to realize that.

[46:28] They don't cost you anything, except for staff time.

[46:32] But my concerns when our board is talked about this about hearing officers is inconsistency

[46:37] because you will get who I'd ever hear the officers available because you can't out of

[46:42] for to keep it full of time on staff.

[46:44] That's three.

[46:45] So those are things you need to know.

[46:48] Anyway, I will give you more input on that later.

[46:52] Those are my three things.

[46:53] Thank you.

[46:54] Thank you.

[46:55] Thank you.

[47:22] Thank you.

[47:22] poor board members since that when we had at the pool and the reason why is

[47:28] well there's a lot of reasons but one of the reasons was that I feel like

[47:32] the more people the better because there's so many maintenance problems that there's

[47:36] maintenance problems we probably don't even know about right now that there's going

[47:40] it's going to take a lot of people to figure out stuff I mean they've been working

[47:43] on it for quite a while already so I mean not the board but other people that were

[47:48] working on it, and I also was just hoping that maybe in September if they do do the maintenance

[47:55] on the slide or whatever maintenance that they're doing, I find it hard to believe that it

[48:00] take a whole month, but I'm hoping that maybe it can open earlier than taking the entire

[48:05] month to do the maintenance at the pool, because the public would still really like to use it.

[48:12] And I mean people like my age range and not just seniors and not just the younger babies

[48:16] then I keep seeing all the posts for, and I just want to thank you guys and I'm excited

[48:22] with the new board coming.

[48:24] Okay, thank you for your comments this morning.

[48:29] You are else in the room,

[48:37] Lenzie,

[48:49] we'll close with the comment time.

[48:53] We have scheduled 1915, but let's take the consent agenda first, we'll do a proof consent

[49:02] 6164.

[49:03] Second.

[49:03] I've got a motion in a second, any further discussion.

[49:13] All those in favor of the consent agenda item 6-1-6-4,

[49:16] please signify by saying aye.

[49:19] Aye.

[49:19] Aye. Motion carries.

[49:31] What?

[49:33] Can I give you a request for the 90-day waiver for community development

[49:37] for that permit?

[49:41] Sure.

[49:43] Move to the 90-day waiver for community development

[49:47] department permit technician to award three. Second, get a motion and a second. Any further

[49:55] discussion

[49:58] on paper?

[50:00] Number of the waiver for the 90 day or permit text, two or three, please signify by saying aye, aye, motion carries.

[50:12] Okay, with that we will get our 915 to come on up.

[50:19] Here has this thing on.

[50:22] You done work.

[50:26] Oh, he's done.

[50:31] So, yeah, for 915, the Junior Preview Special Group District, and a request from them.

[50:40] Good morning.

[50:43] Do we have some paperwork?

[50:48] A new letter is coming.

[50:49] A new letter.

[50:51] And a letter right now, how off the press?

[51:04] Thank you.

[51:08] Good morning.

[51:09] Good morning.

[51:10] My name is David Bulle-Hice.

[51:12] I'm here to represent the agenda for me.

[51:15] Road District.

[51:16] I want to thank you for the opportunity to speak to you this morning.

[51:23] I won't read the letter that I submitted, but I get updated this morning.

[51:32] I'm here to request a loan from the county for the purpose of Chipsy-Lin, our roads, have been speaking with the kind of road department, and we actually are on the schedule for that Chipsy-Lin, the end of this month or the first part of September.

[51:56] I just want to see if we can make some financial arrangements.

[52:05] So thank you all for this month.

[52:07] I submitted a request asking for the full amount of $90,000, which is estimated

[52:15] full cost of the project.

[52:17] We had a meeting last night and we discussed, we have enough money in our account to put

[52:25] down $10,000 at this time toward the project.

[52:30] We will receive another infusion in November of this year.

[52:37] And we discussed putting down another $10,000.

[52:42] So that would reduce our request to approximately $70,000.

[52:51] And let's see, then we had, in speaking with Mr. Rasmussen, we had thrown out the possibility

[53:03] of a loan amount, or a loan percentage, 6%. We did talk last night that the last time

[53:12] we got a loan from the county, it was in 2021. I think the percentage rate was 2%.

[53:19] I have no idea, I think the county may make a number of loans so, but if it were possible

[53:28] to reduce that loan percentage, obviously it would have a huge impact on our ability to pay

[53:37] am to reduce the impact on our residents. I did some numbers I think about the $70,000

[53:52] for about seven years and I think at seven years of six percent the amount that we would

[53:59] pay annual they would be about $12,500. Which leaves us a little bit in reserve to take

[54:06] or any emergency is sooner removal and things like that.

[54:11] So this would not be a stress on our budget at all.

[54:16] It would, we also recognize that things are tight.

[54:20] So we intend to approach our voters in 2027

[54:26] with a request to increase our funding.

[54:30] The details of that are being worked out.

[54:32] but I just want to, you know, assure you that our numbers here enable us to make the payments

[54:40] as things stand.

[54:43] David, what's your current rate for $1,000?

[54:46] No, I don't know.

[54:47] I know that we collect, I think the letter says about 14,000.

[54:51] I got the numbers last night.

[54:52] I think it's about 13,5 last year.

[54:55] And do you know how many residents?

[54:57] Approximately 70.

[54:58] 70 residents.

[55:00] So, just from my, where I live, can you view, we're at a buck and a half and I think we have 93 residents. So, just to kind of put it in perspective.

[55:17] So, really, we're talking about a $70,000.

[55:21] Yes.

[55:23] Yeah, we have a buck, just over two miles for us.

[55:27] And I believe that Jennifer Buu has always used the county for chip ceiling and paving projects up there.

[55:37] I believe that scandals. In conjunction with that we've always come and request a loan from the county to get the work done.

[55:46] So this is nothing new.

[55:48] I don't believe it's new. I've only been on the committee for two years.

[55:54] So, going to what's happening in the past, but I think that would be the case.

[56:00] Would that, is anything changed as far as could you come up with?

[56:05] I think 90 still accurate are our discussions.

[56:10] How does the chance be in less than that?

[56:12] Yes, sir.

[56:13] So, when we got the asphalt bits in, like I said last week, we had a 20 percent, 20 percent reduction.

[56:19] So, that $90,000 estimate could very well be between 65 and 72, so be even cheaper than that,

[56:27] $90,000 estimate, for sure.

[56:31] I used to do that.

[56:36] That's Dr. Paulson doing his magic.

[56:40] That's great.

[56:45] I'm guessing this conversation has been had and that you can fit something if that is approved

[56:52] and to your work schedule and help them out this fall with that.

[56:57] Yes sir.

[56:58] And I also want to request that we can do the work from the board.

[57:02] So I want to make sure that doing this and that as well as can you view,

[57:06] they want to do some cracks easily.

[57:08] So I'd like to request that, you know, the county can perform that work.

[57:13] Yep.

[57:14] And it's the same thing with canning v-road district too.

[57:16] The county has always been the one doing the contracting work.

[57:18] have they gone out to private parties, I think.

[57:21] If I remember correctly.

[57:22] I think the place that he's probably on is done most all of it for both.

[57:26] Yeah.

[57:26] Road districts, yeah.

[57:30] So would we, would, would, would be fair to say if he's good for them to request a,

[57:36] not a bit as early as he, do you need to do it?

[57:38] How would we go about getting a kind of a number number?

[57:42] From us from the county.

[57:45] Well, I've done some, the thing with working there on the view, you know,

[57:49] We have the bridge with restrictions, there's a lot of variables doing this type of work.

[57:57] So the best estimate that I came up was between 65 and 72, and it's based on the amount

[58:04] of patching that we had to do just recently, and some of those factors, but holly and

[58:09] rock across the bridge, making sure that we're not exceeding that low-movement affects how

[58:16] long it takes us to do the work.

[58:17] So, that's my best estimate right now is about 65,000 instead of a 90.

[58:31] There's, so I can't wait to anticipate using doing short loads.

[58:37] We, you know, we want to honor the bridge posting as much as we can.

[58:42] You know, if we're posting the bridge and it's for all vehicles, we,

[58:47] unless the board approves an exemption for county trucks we want to

[58:52] honor the posting just so the public is a by and by the same

[58:56] standard. Yeah, and I would say unless there's any kind of a

[59:00] emergency, I think that is

[59:03] that's what we need to do.

[59:07] It's rated for a reason. It's posted for a reason.

[59:11] the county's not above those ratings by any means. I think in the case of an emergency,

[59:22] we need that's that exception that I would be comfortable with but works work and so I wouldn't

[59:30] I wouldn't support any kind of exemption just because it's the county but that's where I'm at.

[59:42] because any extra weight could have negative impacts to that bridge and that's why it's posted that way so

[59:54] so you're going to be stopping at the bridge with your paving or your chip ceilings

[59:58] so hopefully it will.

[1:00:00] Hopefully, this fall, when we can get the squeeze the money from a ODOT, and start on this bridge that we wouldn't

[1:00:07] have to be tearing up, right? Yeah, we won't do a shipping all over his way down, right? Okay, that's hate.

[1:00:12] Yeah, there's a waste of government spending like that. No, so what's the life cycle of a chip seal?

[1:00:19] seven to nine years typically.

[1:00:23] And I think that was some of the initial conversation in talk was not to exceed the life expectancy of the work.

[1:00:35] And that kind of needs to be in that same time frame as far as getting it paid off.

[1:00:43] I think the last time it was done was 2017, so about nine years ago, so it's, it's due.

[1:00:51] And probably recommendation for the road district would be to get on a seven-year cycle.

[1:00:56] If we can do a seven-year payment plan, and then as soon as that's paid off,

[1:01:01] I start to say it's a road into the next project, so we can have an every seven-year cycle,

[1:01:05] just in perpetuity if that's how long it ships you'll last. But also also make your payment

[1:01:12] structure allowable for other expenses.

[1:01:19] Is that all of the paved roads up on the view or is

[1:01:23] this a portion of them? This would be all of them. Okay, so we'll cover all paved roads chips.

[1:01:28] And they are definitely all in need around that, 70-ish, if that's where Matt's thinking.

[1:01:38] Question for Jeff, so 21, we did alone with a 2% is that based off of market value or was that?

[1:01:55] So we did several loans at that time when we were about, usually about a percent and a half

[1:01:59] above, LGIP, which we use, it was in March, 21, was only paying 0.6.

[1:02:07] And so that's why we're at 6 now, that's what we just loaned the Mac as well.

[1:02:13] That was a, and the Mac, I'd point out, was a short term loan.

[1:02:16] And so this one does have more risk on the rate for seven years, or seven years.

[1:02:23] No, and that's what I just wanted to kind of know that, because it is opportunity costs, I mean, if we're doing a loan to do another district, not that I don't want to be helpful and and bridge that, but we can be spending that money elsewhere or earning revenue on that, and so we need to stay within the market of what the opportunity cost is on that money for the services that we're required to do.

[1:02:53] do, but definitely want to be helpful and support you guys in your project as well.

[1:03:07] So, I think, no, I don't want any questions, I just think we need direct staff to work

[1:03:11] out whatever the pope is in, and I'm with you six percent, because I think it's fair, I

[1:03:17] think that's what we do with everybody else. I just don't want that. Now that we know it's

[1:03:23] be less, you still want it out. The terms of the deal outlast, the link to the how long

[1:03:29] it's going to last was put it that way. So I think I'm a little hard at least supportive

[1:03:35] of doing whatever to get this project going for them. Just be a matter of figuring out the details.

[1:03:42] The rate six and the terms less than whatever the lifetime of the project will be seven years,

[1:03:50] 7-year loan, not to exceed 70,000.

[1:03:56] Well, yeah, because they would have 10, 20, but towards it.

[1:04:00] Yeah.

[1:04:00] I don't want to leave them short either because you're going to have pretty good,

[1:04:02] we'll have snow this year, you know, some removal.

[1:04:07] Well, I think you can cover.

[1:04:08] However, not that it's necessarily any of my business, but what is your balance

[1:04:13] in your account?

[1:04:15] If you do a 10 initially and I think right now it's about just 12,000 12,000

[1:04:22] So if you did 10 you'd be down to 2000 until November until November and you'd get 14 and roughly and another 10

[1:04:31] So you'd be at like 6,000

[1:04:34] Which is our expenses are low. Yeah

[1:04:39] Yeah, we'll do

[1:04:40] I just don't want to leave you

[1:04:43] I and dry with your balance, some flexibility in that and with the fibers I think are good.

[1:04:51] Yeah, I need to ask her like, sir, David, thank you to you, thank you to the other points.

[1:04:55] Any other questions?

[1:04:57] Support a direction on that.

[1:04:59] We don't need a motion.

[1:05:00] Do you have anything ready? Or do we? Do we tell the agreement?

[1:05:04] Yeah, no direction to stop is sufficient for me. I guess my only question would be repayment directly,

[1:05:11] taken out of taxes like we did for other loans and not. That's only expected, sure.

[1:05:20] And then you guys are all aware of the breaks where we're out with other things. We sat

[1:05:24] even a little update this morning.

[1:05:26] Very well, folks.

[1:05:28] Yeah, so now it seems like it's a no-dots court.

[1:05:31] And so I think it's up to us to do a little,

[1:05:33] but chewing on them and see if we can get the squeeze

[1:05:36] the dollars from them into your hand

[1:05:38] so that you guys can afford it.

[1:05:41] So now that's how the federal hands has put

[1:05:43] and put them in state hands and that's how I want to take it.

[1:05:48] But you know, they concurrence for the loan

[1:05:49] and all that, but I think we're also,

[1:05:52] You're giving Matt direction to do the project because I think the project will be before the next meeting

[1:05:58] Which is probably the loan document would be there. So

[1:06:01] Okay, yes, yeah, perfect. Okay, yeah, thank you. So it

[1:06:07] Now maybe I miss her entry, but you want to get started on this like this week. So is that I can be enough time for you to

[1:06:14] If everything done it wouldn't be this week. I think you know right now. It looks like it will be

[1:06:22] Right around the next meeting, we'll probably be available to get up there, twenty-six, twenty-seven.

[1:06:28] Okay, all right.

[1:06:29] If not into the following week, depending on how the rest of the project goes,

[1:06:33] we'll add it to the end of our chips, you'll see them.

[1:06:35] Yep, perfect, that's fine.

[1:06:37] I just want to leave you enough time between the two documents and you're going.

[1:06:43] Okay.

[1:06:44] As I let Matt have the freedom to start the project without worrying about the agreement.

[1:06:48] Doesn't have exactly that insight.

[1:06:51] Are you still sitting here?

[1:06:53] get to work and then Matt what do we need to talk about Canyonview or if I can just get a

[1:07:05] privilege of a crack sealet this year they've requested that we crack sealet we

[1:07:09] chip sealet a couple years ago so hey requested that we go through and and

[1:07:15] crack sealet again we have a agreement with them you know an MOU just want to

[1:07:20] that spending resources there that aren't, you know, county roads, it's okay.

[1:07:27] Yeah, I mean, we're getting paid to do work on their roads and as long as we're getting

[1:07:32] our work done on our county roads and it's not hindering our main focus or our operations.

[1:07:39] I think that partnership with any road district is important and key and we can help them out.

[1:07:50] So we're going to take two motion on that.

[1:07:52] Two motions on this.

[1:07:54] I don't think we need a motion.

[1:07:56] Or just direct interaction.

[1:07:58] Thank you.

[1:07:59] Yeah, perfect.

[1:08:00] Go forth and conquer.

[1:08:01] I like this.

[1:08:02] Just because I ran a couple of quick numbers.

[1:08:04] That may be of concern to both the board and the district.

[1:08:09] If we're doing annual payments on it,

[1:08:11] $70,000, 6% interest, that's $4,200 of interest per year.

[1:08:16] So the annual payment is a little over $14,000 for seven years.

[1:08:22] Correct.

[1:08:23] With him only bringing in about $13,5 to $14,000,

[1:08:28] they're numbering in and off to make that payment.

[1:08:33] That's based off of a $70,000 loan for seven years.

[1:08:38] Correct.

[1:08:38] What about I think I think the thought was to do they're going to 50 or 60 for 7 years because they would put 10 10 against that 70

[1:08:54] Ball mark. So 60 would bring it to 3,600 dollars interest annually, which would make their annual payment a little over 12,100

[1:09:04] I think we're talking 50 but

[1:09:06] You can drop that to 50. Yeah, which then brings it to about

[1:09:12] 10,000 to 100.

[1:09:17] I tried to.

[1:09:19] So,

[1:09:22] that can we do?

[1:09:23] Well, it's me that I think it's still at 70 and then let them manage if they want to pay down the loan and have cash or

[1:09:32] But here's the deal. They're on a pretty tight budget.

[1:09:35] And I hate to walk them in for seven years with only a couple thousand dollars every year to be able to do plowing a weed spring and everything.

[1:09:42] Is there anything we can do to bring that payment level down?

[1:09:46] I just think and just trying to think outside the box here.

[1:09:50] Well, it's the project 70 and they have about 20,000.

[1:09:54] They can put into it coming through November, then you're down to the 50.

[1:09:59] But if they want to.

[1:10:00] I wanted to reserve some national cash, for snow, then they would have that, they're making the choice.

[1:10:08] Because they keep it money in our investment fund, they're going to get about four, but if they take it as a loan, they're going to pay six.

[1:10:20] Unless you want to get very specific with them.

[1:10:28] And lower that 70 to 50, and kind of...

[1:10:35] I don't want to walk you into anything that you don't want to do, so we could do the 70 and then

[1:10:42] have you guys pay off the 70?

[1:10:45] Yeah, what makes sense?

[1:10:46] Over that.

[1:10:49] Okay.

[1:10:50] Up to 70?

[1:10:52] Yeah, 100%.

[1:10:55] And so the required, well, work it kind of up to 70 and then probably after that it's due, then we'll

[1:11:01] have another just what you guys decide to do with cash versus loan to set your payments.

[1:11:08] Okay.

[1:11:10] Okay,

[1:11:13] okay, thank you.

[1:11:14] Thanks.

[1:11:15] Thank you very much.

[1:11:21] Thanks, Gabe.

[1:11:28] It's always a good reality check.

[1:11:30] We have our...

[1:11:32] 9.

[1:11:32] 30.

[1:11:34] Take a three project.

[1:11:37] And I think...

[1:11:38] Good morning.

[1:11:39] Come on up.

[1:11:41] Yeah, so we have Sean Kiefley here from CYC.

[1:11:45] We've also got the Kirk of River Ranch Fire and I'm going to ask you here, Chief Hartley.

[1:11:51] So they'll be presenting to you on the application and have an any discussion on that.

[1:11:58] Yes, thank you.

[1:11:59] Good morning, commissioners.

[1:12:01] Quick will be here.

[1:12:02] I'm Sean Keith Lee, Community Economic Development Director with COIC.

[1:12:07] Here to speak to the application for Title III funding related to the committee.

[1:12:12] Well, if our protection plan for Jefferson County update and probably be doing here by Chief

[1:12:18] Sean Hartley with the perfect river ranch for our district.

[1:12:22] So I'll get a quick hold of that door,

[1:12:30] sorry boy, so I have a meeting going on, sorry about that

[1:12:34] or so.

[1:12:36] Okay, so for it, I'll get a quick overview and some background on why we're here today and what

[1:12:43] application is meant to support. So, Jefferson County's

[1:12:48] Community Welfare Protection Plan, otherwise known as the CWPP,

[1:12:52] is due for its five year update in 2027. The CWPP identifies

[1:12:56] wildfire risk mitigation priorities and projects across the

[1:13:00] county. Since the last update, partners have completed significant

[1:13:04] mitigation work and the county's experience several major

[1:13:07] wildfire events. As we know, the wildfire risk assessment and

[1:13:12] gave us ever-changing, which is why we do these five-year updates to support those changes

[1:13:18] and understand how to better mitigate wildfire risk mitigating.

[1:13:22] Sorry, mitigate wildfire risks and better plan for them over the five-year timeframes.

[1:13:29] So the opportunity here is an opportunity to look at document progress and highlights successful work.

[1:13:35] Corporate some of the lessons learned from the recent fires and those that have occurred

[1:13:39] over those past five years here in Jefferson County,

[1:13:43] up there with our risk information in mapping,

[1:13:46] identify remaining gaps in update community mitigation

[1:13:48] priorities and projects.

[1:13:51] And I'd like to also note that a current CWPP also

[1:13:55] helps position local projects for state and federal funding

[1:13:58] and helps ensure local priorities are reflected in fuels

[1:14:00] reduction work across federal state, tribal, local and private land.

[1:14:05] So it's a real opportunity to leverage other funding sources

[1:14:09] with the investment made here locally.

[1:14:12] A little bit of background on the partners in this effort.

[1:14:15] So, CYC has supported Jefferson County CWP,

[1:14:18] planning annual updates and implementation

[1:14:21] for over 10 years now.

[1:14:23] We've been coordinating with the Jefferson County Fire Chieves

[1:14:26] and Emergency Manager over the next phase of this work as well.

[1:14:30] And together, we identified the five year CWPP update

[1:14:34] as the priority for the available Title III funding.

[1:14:37] The update will involve county, local fire districts, the Oregon Department of Forestry,

[1:14:44] the Oregon State Farm National Federal Land Management Adencies, OSU Extension,

[1:14:48] our tribal partners, communities, and other partners involved in wildfire preparedness and mitigation.

[1:14:55] So, with all that, our proposal supports an application for

[1:15:00] 17,500 in title 3 funding for CYC to facilitate this 5 year update to the Jefferson County CWPP, plus an additional

[1:15:09] 7,875 in many funds from the previous update process. The primary reason for those funds being available is the last update process.

[1:15:20] came in under budget, we are able to use those funds efficiently and are able to deploy those

[1:15:25] and help to reduce the overall costs being asked from the Title III funding with some of

[1:15:30] that additional leftover funding from the past five years. So the work, as part of this will include

[1:15:36] a review progress, a review of progress under the current CWPP updates to risk data, GIS mapping,

[1:15:43] community priorities, and mitigation actions. It will identify priority fuels, reduction areas,

[1:15:49] and cross-boundary opportunities, and develop an update priority projects.

[1:15:56] We'll also identify some of the lead organizations, partnership, and potential funding sources,

[1:16:01] and establish measures to track implementation and progress over the five-year period of the update.

[1:16:07] At the end of the day, at the end of the five years, we hope to have an updated and adopted Jefferson County CWP.

[1:16:15] I'm sorry, over the course of the project, which is six months.

[1:16:18] We hope to have an update and adopted Jefferson County, CWPP.

[1:16:22] A more current wildfire risk assessment and community priorities,

[1:16:26] updated mitigation projects and actions for the next five years,

[1:16:31] identified opportunities and processes for coordinated fuels reduction,

[1:16:35] another mitigation work across ownership boundaries,

[1:16:40] and partners and projects that are positioned to pursue future implementation.

[1:16:45] So with that, I'd be happy to answer any questions about this application and again, thank you for the opportunity to present here.

[1:16:52] Today, thank you.

[1:16:57] I'm waiting on you.

[1:17:04] Or, she partly, or she's gone, didn't you think so?

[1:17:11] So you guys have used this program for the last five years, correct?

[1:17:14] That is correct.

[1:17:15] And so, what has been the overall benefits that you've seen, give you some highlights.

[1:17:21] So, I'll give you the big highlight for Cricut River Ranch that they are long.

[1:17:24] No, no, I'm sure you can.

[1:17:25] I guess one of the big highlights for Cricut River Ranch is an example.

[1:17:29] It was the completion of our base our second paved road off the ranch, Quill Road.

[1:17:33] That was part of the CWPP.

[1:17:35] That was identified as an access egress issue.

[1:17:38] And that got additional funding because it was identified.

[1:17:41] A lot of the projects that are in the current CWP are wrapping up, they're complete, but

[1:17:48] let those don't take into account is the last three years wildfires Jefferson County's

[1:17:52] experienced.

[1:17:53] In the lessons we've learned from that, I know from my standpoint for a Cooperative Ranch

[1:17:58] Frower, we've got a kind of a running list of identifiable projects that we are going to

[1:18:02] put into the CWP for our community with the girl of, this is the message, if they're in

[1:18:08] this plan that prioritizes them for funding opportunities through state and federal funding.

[1:18:15] So it helps take the cost off the community, the county, so we can get funds for that.

[1:18:21] So we've had really good success with this, COIC has been an excellent partner, and we're

[1:18:26] looking forward to getting this review done and adding more to the plan and kind of highlighting

[1:18:30] what we've completed.

[1:18:31] Casey, do you have anything to have? Chief Scott, sorry, do you have anything to have?

[1:18:37] I guess doing.

[1:18:39] So, again with this program, I was part of the last plan for this, but again, this just did help with some of our field mitigation projects.

[1:18:47] We did have the $500. There was some uses with that, but I think going into this next cycle, I think identifying,

[1:18:55] we're just talking about around you today, right?

[1:18:58] Secondary access point to get off that view.

[1:19:01] It's one way and one way out right now.

[1:19:03] So identifying future projects for that,

[1:19:06] not to mention we've had a lot of fires in our landscape this year.

[1:19:10] We know that we can probably identify more areas

[1:19:13] to do bigger larger fuels projects.

[1:19:17] So having this plan will hopefully help us

[1:19:19] allow for grant funds and also just showing the need of why.

[1:19:24] So, those are the big ones for me, I think we have a lot of communities that could use more

[1:19:29] fields, mitigation projects that have already been identified in there, just have had the proper work based on the funding for it, and so hopefully this would help identify those areas and actually put it on the priority list.

[1:19:44] I think Brown Beauty was a big eye-opener for everybody.

[1:19:48] I know watching the initial flare-up for my house, and then within 15-20 minutes, I had

[1:19:53] moved a mile.

[1:19:55] That shows how fast these things can go into a neighborhood, or, I mean, anyway, is up.

[1:20:02] I'm full support of this. I don't have any more questions or concerns.

[1:20:07] Yeah, no, I think this project's been on that kind of list of things that need to be done.

[1:20:13] I guess I want to encourage all by your chiefs or whoever is kind of in charge that we have that communication early on with all of them.

[1:20:25] a little more formal setting with these two gentlemen, but have that conversation, make sure

[1:20:32] that we are, I've learned a lot, and I think everyone in this field has learned a lot

[1:20:38] over the last few years of fire behavior and bigger picture things, and I think we need

[1:20:47] to implement some of that learning experience, and I brought it up in meetings of we shouldn't

[1:20:53] be talking about 50 hundred foot setbacks when it comes to

[1:20:59] uh...

[1:21:00] defensible space we need to be talking about hikers especially when you get out of

[1:21:04] um... dense communities talk about acres

[1:21:06] talk about the acres around communities

[1:21:09] and uh...

[1:21:11] i think the parameters especially in in this

[1:21:15] environment uh... are a lot wider and a lot

[1:21:20] need more distance.

[1:21:23] I could talk a long time, but you see some projects where their lemon

[1:21:30] up during a purchase six feet. Well, some of these fires are just going to canopy across

[1:21:35] that. And so I think there's a lot to learn, a lot to implement. Here locally of we've seen

[1:21:44] what's going on. We know how fire's spreading with some of these winds with some of these dry

[1:21:50] conditions and we need to be able to set those parameters to a new standard that are actually

[1:21:57] going to be beneficial. I think a few things that I want to add is work with Matt, Palace and our

[1:22:07] public workstractor, working off a bunch of these county roads, I want to make sure that has

[1:22:13] a plan that we put into here as well, working with different districts and associations to

[1:22:22] partner up on those plans. So we're looking at the bigger picture. So we're not having the

[1:22:27] 30, 40, 50, 300,000 acre fires.

[1:22:33] We need to have some of those huge fire breaks.

[1:22:39] So I'm not gonna go on anymore,

[1:22:41] but definitely a great project.

[1:22:46] And I'm in full support of it.

[1:22:49] And it does leverage funding.

[1:22:51] Just wanna reiterate one last time

[1:22:53] is don't think small, think bigger.

[1:22:57] Just because we put it in there doesn't really have to accomplish it, but it gives us the opportunity to open up funding or things and I think we also need to look at options for some of this fuel as well.

[1:23:15] How can we do mass scale stuff and at least be a cost even so we can make a big impact because everything costs money.

[1:23:26] And when we're talking about removing Juniper and if there's ways to reduce that cost, we can leverage that and go a lot further.

[1:23:37] So bigger picture stuff, whether that, I mean obviously I'll be at there with a different hat, but I think a commissioner needs to be on there to look at the economy and what potential businesses could help

[1:23:55] support this as a whole as well and

[1:24:04] then yeah leverage leveraging partners I think there's lots of opportunities in this community

[1:24:08] to do some good work and I think this conversation could be very effective and we just gotta make sure that we have everyone at the table

[1:24:20] and have good conversation when it does happen.

[1:24:24] What there's probably no scope for work load as far as like meetings and conversation in details is there.

[1:24:37] Just a bunch.

[1:24:38] Yes, there are at least two significant meetings scheduled here as part of the scope.

[1:24:46] And I know that those are meant to be broadly engaging and to your point about thinking

[1:24:56] big about who I'm engaged. I think that that's going to be something

[1:25:00] And that we'll be doing early to Mr. Taylor's point. It was early engagement of folks making sure that we have the right folks at the table.

[1:25:10] And that we're thinking big about how we do this, including thinking creatively about how we engage the business community.

[1:25:16] We'll be part of that. Yep. Yep. Okay.

[1:25:24] Sounds good.

[1:25:27] If you can give me that schedule and make sure that schedule and maybe who's you have

[1:25:35] planned at the table and maybe I'm sure these two gentlemen have that schedule and

[1:25:42] and list as well but making sure that we have everyone at the table it needs to be and that

[1:25:48] there are aware of it early on and in the scope like I don't know if Matt's been involved

[1:25:55] much in the past, but some of those newer players and being like, hey, this is this is the

[1:26:01] scope, this is the vision, what's in your head, how can it, how can our work help bridge that gap?

[1:26:12] So being able to have that conversation and I'm leaning on you to help with those newer partners

[1:26:17] or the partners that aren't experienced to be able to make those projects bigger and better

[1:26:23] and have that good dialogue about the product.

[1:26:27] So, yeah, more than happy to share with you.

[1:26:30] Yeah, please do.

[1:26:33] Any other questions, Sheriff?

[1:26:35] You have?

[1:26:39] I was just going to mention that, I mean,

[1:26:42] I know this is complicated sometimes,

[1:26:45] because farmers and water and things like that,

[1:26:49] but the round you fire specifically,

[1:26:51] you know, there's we feel to plan it all the way up

[1:26:53] to the city limits of Matolius.

[1:26:55] And so I know that, you know, farmers got a cycle out there crops and things like that,

[1:27:01] but if there was anything we could do on that front, having a conversation with them about

[1:27:07] what that looks like, can try to avoid planning.

[1:27:12] We field all the way up to the city limits, because that was a scary point during that

[1:27:17] because we ended up with the wind blowing and I had some of those fields where we were

[1:27:25] pretty much panicking that it was going to hit those white fields and go all the way

[1:27:28] to Matoya's really quick.

[1:27:31] Unfortunately, that has a lot to do with water availability and mining crops that are not going to be

[1:27:36] using very much water.

[1:27:39] So that's a dynamic development that we need to take into consideration.

[1:27:42] But the one thing I would like to do eventually, this is a pie in this guy, so you know, I'm just wasting people

[1:27:48] Everybody's time here talking about it. But there's so many different opportunities. I know my personal property

[1:27:54] I had a four service grant to do some Jennifer removal on that. There's different opportunities, different buckets of money

[1:28:01] for fire mitigation. And I just wish that we would have a one stop shop for all these federal, state, and local

[1:28:09] dollars that are going to mitigation for people to go to because it's a lot. It's very

[1:28:14] time consuming cumbersome for an individual to try and seek out all these different grants

[1:28:17] and what does my property qualify for how much can I get, the evaluation process, people coming

[1:28:22] out and looking at property. I wish that we could just grow it all and I know the government does

[1:28:27] not like to do this very well, but wish we could roll it all into one ball and just say, here's

[1:28:33] your opportunities. I was talking to Commissioner once about this too and it also goes for the recovery

[1:28:38] effort part too. We have so many different pools of money for refincing properties and all

[1:28:42] this stuff. Post, you know, after the fire comes through, but once again, it's very

[1:28:48] time consuming and cumbersome for individuals to find that out if you're not in the game,

[1:28:51] you don't know who to ask. And just having this one stop shop pages where people can go to

[1:28:57] and go, oh me, I'm looking at all these different funding sources. And eventually maybe wrapping

[1:29:01] those dollars into, hey, the Fed just kick us down that pool of money. The state can kick us down

[1:29:07] full of money for hard-county specific and then put it in the people's hands, you're in

[1:29:11] individual hands, to distribute that program and of itself I'd love to see that but that's

[1:29:19] probably never going to happen. Anyway, I'm done talking about it.

[1:29:23] Well, I just have a simple question. I mean that's great. When he paints USC for it,

[1:29:28] is it not just that exactly? Kind of, but so I mean you can speak more on this than I can,

[1:29:36] but, you know, you're right to an extent, absolutely.

[1:29:41] But also I know that there's, there's these different entities that they don't want to play with others.

[1:29:48] And so, they don't want to go through CIC. They don't want to go through some of these different entities.

[1:29:53] And so, the reasoning for that I don't know.

[1:29:56] But that's just the way it is sometimes.

[1:30:00] Mr. Taylor, I think just briefly on that point, I think one of the things that COIC can do is make more apparent or more transparent, the availability of funding, what all that can be used for is, you know, COIC receives funding for a whole variety of different objectives and programs, and I would just say that meeting with our partners like Jefferson County and the cities.

[1:30:30] within Jefferson County and throughout the region to understand how we can use those buckets of funding to address those specific priorities of each jurisdiction.

[1:30:37] If it's wildfire, can we use buckets from other parts of our funding streams to address those things to add the benefits that you might be getting under one program,

[1:30:47] where you really need to double down and where your priorities are stronger in one area than they might be in others that other communities would have.

[1:30:53] So I'd say happy to follow up and make sure that we're doing the right thing by your contributions

[1:31:00] to COIC to make sure that's funding buckets go to the right places and the right priorities.

[1:31:06] Well, in, yeah, and so you want investors in the right point, you know, it'd be nice.

[1:31:09] I mean,

[1:31:12] if you can't gather all the money into one pot, which was work my brain was going,

[1:31:17] that's fine, but at least I think what's in your control is you can get that data point

[1:31:21] of saying, here's your list of funding sources that you can apply for, or that we can

[1:31:28] help you apply for, that'd be great to have.

[1:31:30] That's right.

[1:31:32] Well, just further my point, I think you're spot on, but I think that that's the point,

[1:31:38] is that we have a communication gap as to what to help to do.

[1:31:44] You know, I don't know who I call to the Caucasian, say, hey, can you come

[1:31:49] look at my place and see if I need to do. We need that. That's what I think CYC could be

[1:31:55] very helpful with in the sense of being that one convener of all information so that everybody

[1:32:01] throughout the Tri-County region understands what they're and you don't have to be an expert in

[1:32:05] what the USDA does or you don't have to be an expert in what FEMA does or you don't have to be an

[1:32:10] expert in what fire-wise does or whatever. They've got one point of contact that disseminates all of

[1:32:19] information. Try county one. That's my point.

[1:32:22] Nice. Oh, and if they cost a little more, I'm happy to visit with that to you.

[1:32:27] Yeah, because you're going to have a hoarding living with fire.

[1:32:32] What do I say?

[1:32:35] Well, I mean, we make contributions to that, correct?

[1:32:37] Yeah. So, maybe that's the conversation.

[1:32:39] I'm a bit, I mean, okay, there's your partner.

[1:32:42] Yep.

[1:32:42] And there is system of writing grants or help them with grants on a bigger scale as well.

[1:32:51] But you have, like, like, some of you have the bigger, bigger grant opportunities down to your single homeowner in King and Viewer.

[1:33:01] And that's going to be a totally different market when you can hear looking at things.

[1:33:05] But definitely being able to

[1:33:08] can be into one occasion,

[1:33:11] COIC,

[1:33:13] or in the middle of fire,

[1:33:14] and then working with the districts,

[1:33:16] or associations, or whatever,

[1:33:18] that are focused in the fire.

[1:33:21] Well, and when we dial who's going to be the coordinator,

[1:33:26] or the one putting this together,

[1:33:28] we have to on a counter-counting wedge,

[1:33:30] who have page roll that out for individuals.

[1:33:32] That's, I guess that's where I'm more,

[1:33:34] That's what I'm talking about is your joe smell of that just got a fire burning through this place or wants to do mitigation work

[1:33:41] They have no clue who to contact putting this information. They don't have any idea about fire-wise

[1:33:45] They don't have any idea about COIC. They don't have any idea about this

[1:33:48] So it's our responsibility to roll that information out once up an entity that we we've deemed is gonna be the the point of contact

[1:33:55] We're gonna have to roll that out on

[1:33:57] You know on our side on

[1:34:01] Communication part

[1:34:03] But I'm still, I don't want to bligger this forever, but we have Oregon living with fire.

[1:34:09] We have COIC?

[1:34:11] Yes.

[1:34:12] As those things have been convened to say, hey, region wide, we need the info disseminating.

[1:34:22] You know, blah blah blah, as one unit.

[1:34:24] I don't know.

[1:34:25] Am I overthink in this or am I X?

[1:34:27] No.

[1:34:27] I think that also might bring up our next sue or see meeting that we have absolutely no absolutely that process is not as

[1:34:34] clumsy as you think and when you're going to the single home owner in King and you per se

[1:34:42] Chief Scar and his team is disseminating the information down to the individual home owner at that point

[1:34:51] That's what your fire districts are helping us this way, getting to that individual landowner homeowner.

[1:34:58] I guess homeowner is probably a better.

[1:35:02] Terminology to do that. At that kind of district level. So it's more direct communication.

[1:35:11] It'd be the same thing as the governor coming here and talking to our constituents when we're the boots on the grounds.

[1:35:17] We know the constituents we're delivering that information down to our constituents, just like both for our chiefs are doing.

[1:35:24] to their constituents, but also their district has a whole,

[1:35:29] how are these grants fitting?

[1:35:31] Chief Scar says, hey, this community is my biggest threat

[1:35:34] in my district.

[1:35:36] I want to do a bigger project to protect the whole canyon view

[1:35:40] or ranchos, but also has the ability

[1:35:43] at the landowner saying, hey, I want to do fuels mitigation

[1:35:47] on my one acre parcel.

[1:35:49] He has those tools and resources from COIC

[1:35:53] and Oregon women with fire to minister and help us assist.

[1:36:00] So, I think all that's working well. I guess it pertain to me if I'm wrong.

[1:36:05] Chiefs.

[1:36:06] I think we have become, for our districts, the primary point of contact

[1:36:10] when people have the defensible space questions.

[1:36:14] The concern I'll switch my hat to the, as serving as the Fire Defends Board Chief,

[1:36:18] there are a lot of homes that are not within a fire district.

[1:36:21] So who is their reference?

[1:36:23] And ultimately that is the county.

[1:36:26] So that's where I think having that landing page

[1:36:29] available through the county website with some of those resources

[1:36:31] as well would be beneficial to folks.

[1:36:34] But you know, and I think you do a fantastic job out there, obviously.

[1:36:38] But one of the things you told me,

[1:36:40] they're not enough money to go around to actually do some work.

[1:36:44] So you're given 10 neighbors, 500 bucks to whatever clean up

[1:36:50] property. You just burnt through 5,000 bucks, you know. So they're not enough money in that

[1:36:58] defense fund. And that's, I mean, still putting ten of them, strike out the army's hot.

[1:37:05] I think it's something that we need to like, ever on, big tip.

[1:37:11] I think that's where the CWPP, you can line that out as priorities and goals for the five-year

[1:37:18] plan and in 2016 does any of the work right I mean that does the planning it doesn't

[1:37:23] do correctly on ground stuff correct so I think at the end of the day where we

[1:37:29] were we could be the most effective at our rules is more back and saying okay we

[1:37:34] we're spending the money on the planning and identifying all this stuff except

[1:37:37] etc but we don't have any cash put on the ground to the people that are willing to

[1:37:41] do the work

[1:37:45] it's so it's all about this has been something that's not new but it's

[1:37:49] mitigation mitigation mitigation. And you know, the forest service has been very good over the years

[1:37:55] about stealing mitigation dollars to do fire fighting when the events taking place. And that's been

[1:38:01] an argument for ever is that that's got to stop. We need to have mitigation dollars. I mean,

[1:38:05] and once again, I'm a period on all this stuff, but the more prepared you are for an emergency,

[1:38:09] the less of emergency it is, that's the same thing with fire mitigation. And so we need to advocate

[1:38:14] for more of those dollars to be on the ground in these programs so that people have the

[1:38:19] And that's our role as commissioners to fight for that level, but anyways, once again, we can be

[1:38:26] a leader of this all day long, but I think you guys are doing a great job.

[1:38:31] Okay, so you're doing a fantastic job.

[1:38:33] You guys are doing a great job at Cricket of a Ranch.

[1:38:35] I mean, we can see it with the effects of the fire that we had last year, even where it burned

[1:38:38] up to defensible space and then slowed down enough to get put out really quick.

[1:38:42] This is really community saving measures that we're doing here, and being able to identify

[1:38:47] those are your proper funding just keep so. Well I just want to add I think this is just one

[1:38:52] part of a bigger plan that needs to happen and I think that we need to really identify

[1:38:59] bigger projects and prevention is the key that's going to help us but it's also maintenance

[1:39:04] behind it too. Yes. Look around you for example around you had a project done what 20 years ago

[1:39:08] or whatever with trees limit up and everything else but again it's it needs to go back to enemy

[1:39:14] up and that was through that I think the state or poor service but I think we need to continue to

[1:39:21] identify those and it's not just the county dollars it's the state and it's the federal dollars

[1:39:25] that are actually going to help get to these bigger projects. The 1G 2G projects are great

[1:39:30] it's really puts ownership back on our property owners on some aspect but again they can't do it alone

[1:39:37] we have a lot of people who've done the $500 you know and it's one it's one piece of a

[1:39:44] But it's that small piece and I think to help keep our fire smaller, we need to do a much bigger project to help

[1:39:50] Look around you and look at the amount of juniper trees that burn through that has not been touched for years

[1:39:55] Or look at what happened with the bench fire coming on the east side of the shoots and

[1:40:00] You know, that Campbell Creek Canyon and everything. Yeah, we've had some fires in the past few years, but again, it's, there's a lot of area for us in projects to be done and I think, you know, hopefully this plan will help us with identifying those areas and then, then we need to have boots on the ground to actually get the work done.

[1:40:20] No, in the G-Scar's point, if you're looking at a single homeowner, that could stop the house to house to house.

[1:40:30] Where when you get into a neighborhood like that, you won't have enough resources.

[1:40:37] There's no way you can do a spoken deal, but if you can break that cycle and have one house that stops that chain effect, that's huge.

[1:40:47] In that partnership with our agencies as well, I know with some of the, it's not fire mitigation dollars, it's maintenance dollars and I don't know exactly what it is, but with the grasslands, where they strategically pivoted some of their plans.

[1:41:06] We're doing this square 40 with the dollars to just remove Juniper for water savings and they've adjusted their plan in the last couple years.

[1:41:15] We're not doing this square 40 anymore, we're doing this 1,000 foot strip on a county road,

[1:41:25] up on a ridge where we can really slow down a fire.

[1:41:28] So we're also doing fire as well as water savings, and that's what a lot of this partnership

[1:41:34] is going to bridge, and that's where I think that communication and bring in a few more key

[1:41:40] to the table. It's going to do a lot better work and so those are some of those good things that are going on.

[1:41:50] Well, well, well over there. That is a beautiful swath through there. It's amazing.

[1:41:54] I don't know what you think about this.

[1:41:56] The grasslands went out and there's literally a few.

[1:41:59] Yeah. Do they burn that? Those laid over Jennifer's and the winter?

[1:42:02] Yeah. I think they usually do it the next winter or maybe two winter's later.

[1:42:07] I don't know what it's called, just slash powders.

[1:42:13] They don't, they don't.

[1:42:14] They don't.

[1:42:16] They just land trees down and then they almost do open, open, open, plane.

[1:42:23] And it torches off most of it, not trunks by any means.

[1:42:26] It was basically, I could believe it, clean that one.

[1:42:28] Yeah.

[1:42:29] And they did a lot of those in that whole area for that reason.

[1:42:34] And I think part of it was that.

[1:42:36] conversation piece of, we need to look at the picture.

[1:42:40] And we're, we're getting funds for a dinner per work.

[1:42:43] We need to be thinking about what's fire doing as well.

[1:42:46] And maximize that.

[1:42:48] I don't want to do it.

[1:42:49] Well, the reality is, can I have another question for both of you after this comment?

[1:42:53] But the reality is, we, we like to talk about force management and force health when we deal with our fires.

[1:43:00] But we don't like to talk about range land management and range land health.

[1:43:04] You know, I've seen photos from 1916 take it from hot air balloons around you, where you can count the amount of junipers on one hand on that view, and now there's thousands upon thousands of junipers out there.

[1:43:16] We've removed fire from the landscape and these species that are usually regulated by fire have just taken off, and so we need to have more talk on a range land management at the BLM and the Forest Service and the whole as well, instead of just constantly talking about our timber, you know, being forest management all this stuff.

[1:43:32] But it goes across the landscape and it's all part of that mitigation.

[1:43:38] The question I have for you to all you're up while you're here is we had an individual

[1:43:42] come and make public comment on training to battle wildfires on solar or that are potentially

[1:43:50] going into a solar farm and having them pay for some of that training, do you guys support

[1:43:54] that idea?

[1:43:55] Would you guys think about that as a professional about that comment?

[1:44:00] because I think you're both in the room at the time.

[1:44:03] Yeah, so for us, and just talking with counterparts

[1:44:07] from a Cric County and stuff, you know,

[1:44:10] with that, I think the bigger thing for these solar farms

[1:44:13] that come in is really creating good grid lines throughout

[1:44:17] and road systems, and then maintaining,

[1:44:19] going back to the maintenance of things, right?

[1:44:22] Is in that fence and area that they have

[1:44:25] maintaining underneath all of those solar panels and things

[1:44:29] like that and then having grids, I know Criccani has done a good job with creating grids

[1:44:35] in within that system. So if, for example, they've had a one fail, right, and it only

[1:44:40] takes out that grid from the fire department standpoint, you know, and just in conversation

[1:44:45] with that, it's difficult for us to go in there and actually attack that fire. We're not doing

[1:44:51] that. It's a defensive type fire. You know, you're going to try to cut power, get in contact

[1:44:56] with them and just try to, you know, not allow it.

[1:45:00] I want to expand further. Again, when these solar farms are coming in, I think having those conversations in their contracts to where they are maintaining those every year.

[1:45:13] So it is kind of somewhat of a fuel break, essentially. And then obviously if there is a failure one, and sometimes they do fail, it would only take out a small portion and not the entire system.

[1:45:24] But you feel adequate that your employees are equipped to handle if they do catch on fire,

[1:45:30] the toxic fumes and all kinds of things that are addressed.

[1:45:33] No, I mean, I think the way that we have them on rooftops as well, it's very defensive

[1:45:38] and there's no easy way to disengage them.

[1:45:42] I mean, you can cut the power, but they still have energy saved up, and so it's very defensive

[1:45:48] on those.

[1:45:49] And of course, we wear SUVAs to protect us from the fumes and everything, but again,

[1:45:56] just to kind of fire any method, always take more training and more dollars in health, be

[1:46:00] more adequately trained on those, but I'm just telling you that this is the way that we

[1:46:05] would approach it right now.

[1:46:07] And obviously going back to prevention and trying to maintain and actually hold those red lines

[1:46:12] of it.

[1:46:13] So for future projects that come in, it's important to have those conversations.

[1:46:16] I think

[1:46:24] I've said enough.

[1:46:27] No.

[1:46:30] No, I think great project.

[1:46:32] You know, there's been a lot of conversation pieces and some good work.

[1:46:37] Let's come out of this, which hopefully will result in dollars back here and work on the ground.

[1:46:51] So steps on this.

[1:46:56] I'm actually going to look at Wednesday on that. I don't know if you can read the motion

[1:47:00] that's before you now, or if they need to take action on the resolution first.

[1:47:05] Well, I think that, because the resolution is directly related to the motion.

[1:47:19] This is eight, five.

[1:47:21] Do you think they're separate? I mean, we can certainly take them separate, that's fine.

[1:47:25] That would, I think that would be my read on them because the resolution is more identifying

[1:47:31] the split in how the county is electing to distribute the funding, the 15% split, 8 and 7.

[1:47:40] And then once they've done that, I think they can take action to actually allocate that out to the different applicants.

[1:47:46] And so I would almost recommend borrowing Lindsay's knowledge as a one who's historically done this that you take action on the 8.5.

[1:47:56] This would be the resolution where you're selecting your elections for the national forest related safety net payments.

[1:48:04] You'd be splitting those out. You'll see in the item 8.5.

[1:48:09] H2 lists out that you are electing to receive those payments that you're allocating 15%

[1:48:16] that 15% is split then 8 as titled 2 projects 7 as titled 3 etc. So taking that action

[1:48:26] first and then you have a motion before you that would take action to allocate funding towards the

[1:48:33] object that COIC has presented, as well as the 12,000 going to Oregon, living fires, Jeff

[1:48:41] had previously mentioned earlier this morning, changing from a 50-50 split on that, and allocating

[1:48:47] the remainder to Sheriff's Office, and those other items listed in your motion.

[1:48:54] Hopefully those

[1:48:55] clear smot because it's super clear for me.

[1:48:59] It's always super clear for you.

[1:49:03] So I can motion to approve what's in front of us first.

[1:49:08] So I motion to approve the safe and secure real-schools title

[1:49:11] for your project submission form for Jefferson County.

[1:49:14] Let's present it.

[1:49:16] No.

[1:49:17] What would be the 8.5?

[1:49:20] So just as 8.5?

[1:49:22] Just 8.5.

[1:49:23] Okay, so

[1:49:29] motion to prove the resolution the matter of the fiscal, the FFY 2020-2040.

[1:49:33] No, wait a minute, wait a minute. Yeah, 20-2040 elections for national force provided safety in that payments.

[1:49:40] Okay, thank you.

[1:49:43] Emotion in a second, can you further discussion?

[1:49:50] I do have a question, maybe this is something I need to brush up on myself a little bit more.

[1:50:01] So, not less than 15%,

[1:50:09] so that's our minimum requirement. And then we're here and what kind of flexibility do we have with the other EDF?

[1:50:23] You can, the motion before you, the history of the counties, you bring as much as you can into the discretionary county's choice and the remainder goes to the rack.

[1:50:35] I think the rack still in place has been a while because we were going for many years to try and lobby for projects, but we just don't put enough in compared to the county surrounding us.

[1:50:49] So it's like going and asking for $60,000 when we put in 20 other counties or putting in a million.

[1:50:58] So we've just kind of backed off on that and let the forest services in charge of it anyway.

[1:51:04] But they used to have more flexibility.

[1:51:07] So some counties I believe Grant was not retaining much of the local funds because the federal partner

[1:51:15] could do a lot more with the funds than just do fire-wise and stuff.

[1:51:20] But those parameters now have changed

[1:51:22] there is some more flexibility on routine law enforcement,

[1:51:26] and some tutors, great, vague reference for broadband

[1:51:30] and forest communities that came out of the exact definition.

[1:51:34] But again, we don't have a whole lot.

[1:51:36] So we take as much as we can and spend it when we can

[1:51:40] and there's still a little bit of a balance each year too.

[1:51:45] I think I need a 101 for pressure course by understanding that 15% for that, so thank you.

[1:52:00] Another discussion.

[1:52:03] Owned favor of the motion.

[1:52:06] Be 65 by seeing aye.

[1:52:08] Aye.

[1:52:09] Motion carries.

[1:52:12] So that at this time you have a longer motion that I handed out to you as commissioners.

[1:52:18] that would be your action actually allocating Title 3 funding based on the projects and historically

[1:52:26] commission has read that motion in full, so I printed it out for you for your convenience.

[1:52:33] If you have any questions regarding that motion, I'd be happy to answer them.

[1:52:57] Anybody have any issues with the vervigive?

[1:53:00] No.

[1:53:03] I need like it, Red.

[1:53:04] It's a diary.

[1:53:05] Yes, sir.

[1:53:06] Okay, I'll motion to prove the allocation title for your funding for Central Organ Intergovernment

[1:53:10] Council, Jefferson County Community, Watt Fire Protection Plan, and Fire Wise Communities

[1:53:14] programing the amount of $17,500, including an indirect allocation of $1,750 for a total

[1:53:20] of $19,250 in the living with fire pursuant to the organ living with fire MOU and the amount

[1:53:27] of $12,000, including an indirect allocation of $12,000 for a total of $13,000,000.

[1:53:33] Also, for fiscal year 2025-26, and fiscal year 2016-27, continue allocating up to $24,369

[1:53:42] in addition to any funds from previous year's commitments for the Fallen Circumstances.

[1:53:47] And upon further action by the Board of Commissioners, too,

[1:53:51] won the reimbursement and fire department responding to fires on federal lands.

[1:53:55] To reimburse the sheriff's office outside agencies and other county departments for cost and credit.

[1:53:59] A for search and rescue missions on federal lands, B emergency services, including but not

[1:54:05] when the actions during or after a fire on federal land are responding to auto accidents

[1:54:09] on federal lands, three members of the sheriff's office outside agencies and or at other

[1:54:15] county departments for cost associated responding to emergency circumstances created by criminal

[1:54:19] activity occurring on federal lands, and for reverse the health department for cost associated

[1:54:23] with emergency response costs associated with responding to conditions creating health hazard

[1:54:29] on federal and such as clinical, contamination resulting from

[1:54:34] methamphetamine manufacturing.

[1:54:36] Please don't ask me to repeat all that.

[1:54:38] What was that?

[1:54:40] Second book.

[1:54:41] A motion in a second. Any further discussion?

[1:54:48] All in favor of the motion.

[1:54:49] Please signify by saying aye.

[1:54:52] Aye.

[1:54:52] Motion carries.

[1:54:56] Thank you.

[1:54:57] All your commissioners.

[1:54:58] Thank you for making the trip, Baba.

[1:55:03] Thank you Chief Hartley for coming all the way from Crater Ranch, appreciate it. Thank you Chief Scar from coming all the way from cross town.

[1:55:13] Let's take a five minute break on back at 10.25.

[1:55:34] Okay, welcome back. It was asked for a fever, which is gonna come back to

[1:55:45] bite you a little bit, Derek. Department of Head Report. Derek, what do you have real quick?

[1:55:53] Real quick, so we have a letter of support for a transportation growth man. I just

[1:56:01] I've got to keep it open.

[1:56:02] Let us support here for transportation growth management grant application, it's that planning

[1:56:07] grant that I mentioned earlier this morning, and the longer short is we're looking to

[1:56:11] do a planning grant looking, taking a look at our own corporate communities that become

[1:56:15] urbanized in the summer seasons, so like Camp Sherman, after years of years, and stuff like

[1:56:22] that, as well as the corridor between the city of Covid and Covid-19, it's part of where we're

[1:56:30] seeing a lot of this high intensity traffic, you know, certain parts of the year, and so we're

[1:56:39] just looking to get this letter of support signed by you guys so we can start asking for other

[1:56:44] letters of support. It is due the 21st, so we've got this all keyed up and ready to go depending

[1:56:50] here approval and have to take any questions if you have any.

[1:57:00] We have to sign the letter support for community development for the 26th Transportation

[1:57:07] and Growth Management Program Planning Grant.

[1:57:10] So I have a motion in a second.

[1:57:13] You need further discussion is there any teasers of what this plan may or may not produce

[1:57:21] for goals?

[1:57:23] For goals, I think that it's going to really outline where we can go after construction

[1:57:31] funding, from bridges and whatnot to most of the pathways for these different transportation

[1:57:39] options where it makes sense, but maybe not everywhere.

[1:57:44] And so, can identify where we can get construction funding, is the short answer, I suppose?

[1:57:53] But yeah, what do you hear? I think that we're probably looking at, you know, what we're thinkreases.

[1:58:01] Intersection, safety, you know, stuff along those lines.

[1:58:09] What do you do you have Matt talk to touch the document before you send it?

[1:58:13] Yeah, sure he bosses it.

[1:58:16] Yes.

[1:58:17] We will probably say for, well, I think absolutely.

[1:58:21] Wait a minute.

[1:58:22] Matt's on a rule.

[1:58:22] Well, I believe it.

[1:58:25] The magic touch, right?

[1:58:29] You know, awesome.

[1:58:33] Great planning opportunity for potential projects.

[1:58:39] on favor of signing the letter support, please signify by C9.

[1:58:43] All right, all right.

[1:58:44] I, motion carries.

[1:58:47] Fantastic.

[1:58:47] And I've just had one real quick thing.

[1:58:50] Assistant on the email to the through view as well as a couple of staff internally.

[1:58:58] We're running a public portal for our LazyFish software management

[1:59:02] or Dr. Manager and I just wanted to kind of give a quick update,

[1:59:06] So we're going to start really mad out to some of our frequent flyers, who

[1:59:10] who call us a lot, asking for files, you know,

[1:59:13] their septic installers, looking for septic records, stuff like that,

[1:59:17] and see where they can kind of break it.

[1:59:19] So then we can, you know, make sure that things are working correctly.

[1:59:21] When it does, we're going to do the full launch,

[1:59:24] hoping to have for launch for everybody, you know,

[1:59:27] by this time next week.

[1:59:30] So we've got that kind of buttoned up.

[1:59:32] We've got some internal comments that I've addressed as best I can.

[1:59:36] And I think that there's going to be an element of it where it's, we just need to get it out there

[1:59:42] and then it's going to get better as time goes on as we kind of patch things up and make

[1:59:48] making a little more user friendly where we can and everything like that.

[1:59:52] So, I also want to make sure that we are putting on a functional product at the end of the day.

[1:59:57] And so we can work on that, getting that ready.

[2:00:00] So, it's trying to give you quick update on that. Is there a code enforcement thing alive yet?

[2:00:05] Code enforcement is live, yes. I was testing that yesterday. Just got a working answer.

[2:00:12] Yeah, there will be an online code enforcement form. There is an online code enforcement form.

[2:00:16] Where if you fill it out, you can send attachments, do all that stuff.

[2:00:20] And it will send an email to a code enforcement officer in myself as well as the back to the applicant or the company party.

[2:00:30] and it also goes into our repository and secure for there so we can keep track of all

[2:00:36] those. Excellent, thank you sir. Yes. Well, I know where it's going to break. I will do my

[2:00:43] magic. I know exactly where it's going to break. Please do, but okay that sounds good.

[2:00:50] Is a week long enough to kind of test that out? I think one, one, two weeks. I'm trying

[2:00:56] be optimistic. But it just depends on how, you know, because as these projects come and go,

[2:01:02] you know, we get like a wave of requests from different installers on different properties,

[2:01:07] and then we're all here and everything for a while. And then a wave of them. And so,

[2:01:11] I'm just hoping that we catch the wave in the right time here. Perfect. Awesome. Anything else to report?

[2:01:18] That's all that I've got for right now. Okay. Thank you. Okay, let's jump back and look at this.

[2:01:26] something on the first page. So let's do that before I forget.

[2:01:35] 4-1 is

[2:01:40] this lieutenant-skindules request here.

[2:01:44] Yeah, he kind of, this is a grant through OEM for $1000 worth of the Starlink project.

[2:01:58] So Alexa has reviewed it, we're going to go on that.

[2:02:07] Starling projects, high level, what are we doing?

[2:02:11] For five?

[2:02:14] Sorry.

[2:02:15] What are we doing for the five on this project?

[2:02:19] Where are we getting?

[2:02:22] This is for the Starlinks inside your vehicle?

[2:02:26] Yes.

[2:02:26] What will you need to bring in those in a few few rigs?

[2:02:31] We currently do have some.

[2:02:32] Yeah, we only, I think we only have like three, but this will, this will give us a lot more

[2:02:40] area to cover certain circumstances like this year, you know, with buyers and be in down in certain areas.

[2:02:47] We lost our, um, create a points in our cars because those are, you know, connect to sell towers and stuff like that.

[2:02:56] So I just add this one more layer to be able to get out in communication.

[2:03:03] I know I use my personal start link during the fires, and I was able to get out on my

[2:03:10] entity, myself, various that I typically would not go.

[2:03:17] And it worked in the smoke.

[2:03:20] Some people say cloud cover and smoke cable will work, but it works.

[2:03:24] Yeah, you know, I know that, you know, that satellite connection was the concern with the smoke and I haven't heard anything as far as you know what to connect to.

[2:03:40] Yeah, I think it's critical in the toy space and, you know, especially when we were looking at evacuating Camp Sherman during the fire movement over there,

[2:03:49] we were concerned about, then cut power,

[2:03:53] medications going down.

[2:03:55] We have a, what we call a cow.

[2:03:58] That's a communications, basically, tower

[2:04:01] that we get from OEM that sits at our office

[2:04:05] and so we're able to deploy that on the first net.

[2:04:10] And it gives about a mile out until you run into the basin walls.

[2:04:20] communication for anybody within that file.

[2:04:26] So,

[2:04:31] last for motion.

[2:04:33] How will motion approve the Oregon Department of Emergency Management,

[2:04:36] Homeland Security grant agreement 25-237 emergency

[2:04:40] startling project in the amount of 5,000 signed by chair?

[2:04:43] Thank you.

[2:04:44] There's motions in the second.

[2:04:46] Any further discussion?

[2:04:49] On paper, the motion, placing the five by saying aye, aye, motion curious.

[2:04:56] Thank you.

[2:05:08] We want to come on up, and we will jump into the heat one that looks like the first one on the list.

[2:05:16] We're going to give you a Christian's map policy and public work structure.

[2:05:18] This one I'm pretty excited about. This is the important view project. We've been working on several years.

[2:05:24] It's nearly 15 miles from Highway 97 to the Community of Ashwood, and it's had deferred maintenance for decades.

[2:05:32] And so we've been working on a long-term project

[2:05:36] where we can really improve the road without spending

[2:05:40] the, you know, 5 million that it would take

[2:05:42] to do, you know, a complete road rebuild.

[2:05:47] So we opened beds on June, or July 30th,

[2:05:50] and we had four bedders, and the pricing was really good.

[2:05:55] So we determined the lowest responsible bedders

[2:05:57] sent out the intent to award on August 4th. We didn't receive any protests from the other

[2:06:05] bitters, so it's been about the we waited the seven day periods, so we'd like to award the

[2:06:10] project to K3 construction and draft the contract and get to work and

[2:06:22] they're doing a portion of

[2:06:25] the project. So what we did is we're going to do a little bit in-house or so. Yeah, so I kind of

[2:06:31] to do was really do a lot of the time consuming heavy work initially.

[2:06:38] So we identified about 10 areas that where the road is just really has some base failure

[2:06:44] and just a lot of issues.

[2:06:46] So identified those areas as well as the two hairpin corners, those switchbacks.

[2:06:52] I want to double the width of those so as you're coming down the grade, you know, if you

[2:06:56] a trailer or something you're not. It was steep before, so I'd like to flatten it out and

[2:07:02] really make those corners so that can be navigated with a truck and trailer. So doing all

[2:07:08] that work now and then have our crew come in and put in a few combats, do some shoulder work,

[2:07:16] establish ditches and then do some pre-level and then do a three-shot chip seal on the whole thing.

[2:07:22] So I'm hoping to do that work next year if we can get this worked on this year and really get us prepped and ready to go

[2:07:32] Move to a word K3 LLC for planning to build repair or project in the amount of 545,000, 800, 74 sign by the chair

[2:07:42] I've got a motion on a second any further discussion

[2:07:50] Who's kind of overseen their work

[2:07:55] It's county staff as well as Anderson Perry, our consulting engineer, they'll be involved in the inspection as well.

[2:08:03] Check some balance.

[2:08:04] Okay.

[2:08:09] I'm struggling.

[2:08:10] I have a motion in a second.

[2:08:12] Yeah.

[2:08:12] Thank you for the discussion.

[2:08:17] All in favor.

[2:08:19] Notice to award for key three construction,

[2:08:23] or Pony Butte Road Repairs, please signify by saying aye.

[2:08:27] Aye.

[2:08:28] Motion carries.

[2:08:29] Thank you.

[2:08:32] That's now.

[2:08:33] Any more math?

[2:08:38] That's not?

[2:08:39] Okay.

[2:08:39] Thank you.

[2:08:44] Next up.

[2:08:45] Eat two.

[2:08:46] Some generators.

[2:08:48] Must be Tony.

[2:08:55] Tony Anderson, Jefferson County buildings and grounds director.

[2:09:00] Have a purchase requisition to install the generator that we received with grant dollars.

[2:09:08] through some of the work that schedule has done, we have the generator and transfer switch and we're

[2:09:14] looking now to install it at the complex, looking to place it to the south end of the kitchen in

[2:09:20] between a kitchen in the office and then wiring over to the main distribution panel for the

[2:09:26] fairgrounds, which is further to the north of the kitchen. Instead of putting the generator right

[2:09:35] Next to the power distribution, right in the middle of the fairgrounds, it's kind of

[2:09:40] kind of to take up quite a bit of square footage right in the center, so it comes with

[2:09:45] potential little additional costs, but the location I think is way more important.

[2:09:52] We're looking to do some of the work in-house, thinking the trench for the generator,

[2:10:00] We'd like to go to the conduit. Probably do that in-house just because in between the billion in the kitchen, where would be laying the conduit. There's quite a few utilities. So probably be utilizing our back trailer. We had a contractor come in. I would suspect that they would end up hitting something and we'd have run into additional costs. So probably do most of that work ourselves, ladies.

[2:10:22] probably a licensed electrician lay the conduit and then work with covaletric they said

[2:10:33] that their price would come in somewhere around probably twenty four thousand dollars to

[2:10:38] go ahead and pull the wires and do that. So we would do the trenching for the conduit concrete

[2:10:45] had probably in-house. The other portion of it would be fencing. We want to fence in between

[2:10:53] the kitchen and the office, the back side to secure that area. I think there's an old

[2:10:58] handicapped spot now that we have the paving on the front side. We don't need to have the handicapped

[2:11:03] spot there. Then we can kind of fence that area in to more secure the generator and to maybe

[2:11:11] the dumpsters inside that enclosed area, so we're not just south end of the arena with dumpsters.

[2:11:19] So I would like up to $49,000 to complete that task.

[2:11:26] Payed for out of capital improvement fund.

[2:11:31] $49,000.

[2:11:33] The purchase requisition is $49,000 and the agenda is $49,900.

[2:11:39] So, out of where we found number 311, we're going to have a couple of improvements.

[2:11:46] Capital improvement fund.

[2:11:47] Loop signed purchase requisitions for our generated generator installation at the event complex

[2:11:53] in the amount of 49,900 and coming out of 311.

[2:11:59] It's not a motion in a second.

[2:12:03] Any further discussion?

[2:12:05] I approve to accept the free generator, I didn't approve to pay any dollars.

[2:12:11] What a installation.

[2:12:13] But it does seem to be, I mean that's a pretty good chunk of change, but I understand the reasoning behind the price as well.

[2:12:23] I feel confident that we'll probably come underneath that just because of the amount of work that we'll probably do in-house.

[2:12:29] Yeah, original quote, I think was 36,000.

[2:12:34] It's was looking like, yeah.

[2:12:36] From covaletric, then.

[2:12:40] No, I think it's leveraging.

[2:12:42] I mean, would we be able to do this project on our own?

[2:12:46] Absolutely not.

[2:12:48] Do we have to throw a little bit of money in to get it complete?

[2:12:54] Yeah.

[2:12:54] But I think definitely in the end, it's going to be beneficial to have that security that

[2:13:02] back up with some power, especially with some of the inconsistencies and the unknowns.

[2:13:12] Power is crucial. And so if there's the ability to have some backup and if we're in any kind of

[2:13:20] crisis and urgency whether it's fire, whether it's probably not flooding, possibly.

[2:13:29] Any kind of emergency, that is the hub for any disaster, communication,

[2:13:37] which communication can't happen without power.

[2:13:41] So, for the previous our commitment to, it made our emergency response

[2:13:44] subsider and so when we go back to Salem said how important it is to get our funding for

[2:13:49] Here you go, along with your letter.

[2:13:50] This is $1,000.

[2:13:52] Great to be able to happen.

[2:13:54] Yep.

[2:13:54] OK.

[2:13:55] All in favor?

[2:13:56] Please signify by saying aye.

[2:13:58] Aye.

[2:13:59] Motion carries.

[2:14:01] Thank you.

[2:14:01] Thanks, Doug.

[2:14:02] As you've been seeking out any other grants

[2:14:06] for additional generators throughout the county?

[2:14:09] Schedule?

[2:14:10] I don't know.

[2:14:10] Not that I'm aware.

[2:14:12] I think that we've had communication about.

[2:14:14] But if, because I would love to see one of these in every community

[2:14:16] in Jefferson County.

[2:14:18] So if he could maybe afford the grant information to the cities and they could apply for the same type of grant.

[2:14:25] I don't know if he needs to work with them on whatever, but it would just be nice to have more than one area.

[2:14:31] This is, I don't know, the courgettes is the county place, but if the cities want to take advantage of this as well to the same type of grant.

[2:14:38] Anyways, I'd love to have him look into that.

[2:14:40] We did have a conversation as been probably eight months ago. We had a emergency preparedness meeting

[2:14:48] brought in citizens from the food pantry, school districts and everything, and they went through

[2:14:53] and identified key work buildings and locations for generators.

[2:15:00] So I know that work has initially been done. So hopefully that message is getting passed along. Especially in, you know, in each community, like, we're totally as soon.

[2:15:10] Well, if there's a grant like those available over here, we should put in for it every year.

[2:15:13] Are you going to ask to support the finances for each individual city and community?

[2:15:21] No, I think they just didn't connect the dots for them to apply.

[2:15:24] If you need a partnership, not be the banker.

[2:15:26] Yeah, and camp sure made received a generator also

[2:15:29] We clear and they came up but you know the funding I believe it was the fire department's the shoots county

[2:15:36] I think funded their installation of their generator

[2:15:39] Camp Sherman camp Sherman camp Sherman camp Sherman fire district. Yeah, yeah, yeah, so

[2:15:44] There's one you didn't have pay for

[2:15:46] There you go, well that

[2:15:49] Thank you

[2:15:54] 8, 3.

[2:16:11] Good morning, Carla Hood, Jefferson County Public Health, Finance and Grants Manager.

[2:16:16] Good morning. Morning. Still,

[2:16:20] what do we got this morning?

[2:16:22] So 8, 3 is a contract with United Health Care Insurance Company so that we are in network

[2:16:29] providing services to their members and allows us to build for the full amount

[2:16:40] for the

[2:16:45] You seen this?

[2:16:46] Yep.

[2:16:46] Thumbs up?

[2:16:47] Yes, good to go.

[2:16:51] I would entertain a motion.

[2:16:54] Good.

[2:16:55] Prove the provider participation agreement between Johnson County, Knighted Health, Care, Insurance,

[2:17:00] Company, side by the chair.

[2:17:02] Second.

[2:17:03] A motion in a second.

[2:17:04] Any further discussion?

[2:17:09] On paper of sending the agreement.

[2:17:11] Please signify by saying aye.

[2:17:14] Aye.

[2:17:15] Motion carries.

[2:17:15] Aye.

[2:17:19] Is the order as well?

[2:17:21] Yes.

[2:17:26] This one is an annual contract to renew the chair through with High Desert ESD to fund the

[2:17:36] Home Visiting Program, Healthy Families of Oregon.

[2:17:39] Anti-Lapez is our employee with the Home Visitor.

[2:17:45] My services.

[2:17:55] All right.

[2:17:55] We've decided to sub-grant agreement between Jefferson County and High Desert Education and

[2:18:00] this district side by the chair.

[2:18:03] Second, we're motioning in a second to need further discussion.

[2:18:09] All in favor, I'm saying this sub-grained agreement,

[2:18:13] placing the five by saying aye.

[2:18:16] Aye. Aye.

[2:18:17] I'm going to show the carries.

[2:18:21] Thank you.

[2:18:21] Thanks for waiting three hours for three minutes.

[2:18:24] Just enough for a minute.

[2:18:24] You got any department head reports since

[2:18:29] Katie's out?

[2:18:30] Nope.

[2:18:31] Nothing else?

[2:18:32] Okay.

[2:18:32] Alright guys, thank you. Thank you.

[2:18:43] I think you got everything, so let's jump in to our

[2:18:49] Elected official reports. Share it.

[2:18:54] We give up a little report earlier.

[2:18:59] Oh, you're in trouble now.

[2:19:03] What? They sheathed me for lunch and if you want that back of the bag, you serve any papers right now.

[2:19:14] You didn't mean me signing anything yet though, so that I received this document.

[2:19:20] No, what you guys have for you is the information that will be going to secure a state

[2:19:30] for Safe Harbor.

[2:19:33] This is just a draft, but kind of the meat of what you have in your hands is what will be going

[2:19:38] on the website, and the back sheet is a concept of what a regular look like,

[2:19:48] and also there is a quote.

[2:20:00] I think I forgot to put it in the bullet. It's on the run. It's written in there. $5,716.93, through bench mailing, where they do all the work, and that is to 11,276 addresses.

[2:20:23] What I have learned through this process is you have to go onto USPS and have to select a map of all the residents

[2:20:36] the routes for the mailer and when you get to correct a ranch you select to correct a

[2:20:44] ranch there's a small portion of a district's county that the mailer will go to

[2:20:51] however you can not split the route. So this is like the mailing route of yes yeah

[2:21:00] So there's a small portion of the sheet's counting that we'll receive in the mail.

[2:21:06] If we don't select that route, and there's a large portion of the cooker branch that we'll not receive in the mail.

[2:21:13] So I figured it was best just to select all, and that's where we're at cost.

[2:21:20] And so I'm seeking a motion to approve said cost and there's a suggested motion at the bottom of that cover sheet.

[2:21:38] I moved to authorize the Sheriff's Office, proceed with the jail-leavy informational mail and then not to exceed $6,000 out of GL265.

[2:21:48] Second, the motion in a second.

[2:21:51] Any further discussion?

[2:21:57] So language-wise, you signed off, right?

[2:22:00] Yeah, this is different from the ballot title.

[2:22:04] So there was email there, I think that was being considered a review

[2:22:09] to whatever I thought, but maybe not.

[2:22:11] This was being reviewed.

[2:22:13] Oh, yeah, yeah.

[2:22:14] So that, yeah, Alexa has looked at that.

[2:22:16] We have made some changes to it,

[2:22:19] But that, in the larger packet of information, is what will go on to the website.

[2:22:27] So the mailer itself, like QR code, to get to the larger packet of information.

[2:22:33] And that's what these 12, 15 pages of, yes, stat, yes, questions, it'll be better organized and on the way.

[2:22:44] So this doesn't I mean you you can use this as social media as one craft. Yes, all right

[2:23:01] Good job

[2:23:12] Thank you

[2:23:14] Just

[2:23:17] wondering if I was going crazy

[2:23:36] Great

[2:23:52] Wait a minute.

[2:23:53] Wait a minute.

[2:23:54] All in favor of the motion, please signify by saying aye.

[2:23:59] Aye.

[2:24:00] Motion carries.

[2:24:01] I'm ready.

[2:24:02] One, one.

[2:24:02] Where did this morning was?

[2:24:04] A little.

[2:24:04] There you go.

[2:24:06] I'm struggling.

[2:24:07] One cup for each hand.

[2:24:08] I might need it.

[2:24:11] On that note, Sheriff, is there any, any, I mean, great.

[2:24:18] As there are any holes or needs from us at the time to help market this, promote this

[2:24:28] Is there any obstacles? I guess to get clear factual information out without having

[2:24:39] Assumptions made and that spreading like

[2:24:43] a bigger fire than what we've actually faced.

[2:24:49] I think, you know, obviously once we have the safe harbor, through the secondary state,

[2:24:57] and I think that will start pushing.

[2:25:00] Information out. So I would push people to look at that website and kind of just reiterate that information over and over and over and over.

[2:25:10] So people understand it and then also the other piece of this is the timing of the mailer and pushing the mailer out.

[2:25:20] I talked to the clerk, I said it, and she said that the ballots go out up to a 14th.

[2:25:28] And so we're going to try and push the mailer out or have it ready to be pushed out at the post office within our county.

[2:25:36] Right around that same time, 15th through the 19th-ish.

[2:25:41] So, you know, they had a fresh under my and they can look at it and go through the automation.

[2:25:51] And had that actual information, but as far as like community outreach, you know,

[2:25:57] I will try and couple that with my own campaigning as well,

[2:26:03] and having this conversation with the community as we move closer and closer to November.

[2:26:13] So that would encourage you, if you guys want to push that information out, I would just get pretty well burst on what's going to be a little website.

[2:26:21] Yeah, push that information out.

[2:26:24] No,

[2:26:27] and yeah, I think the key, it's rare, especially in today's cost of doing business is not having an increase.

[2:26:38] I mean, you know, having that front and center and hopefully the constituents realize the effort

[2:26:49] and dedication and that takes to not have an increase whatsoever in the cost of doing business

[2:26:56] with everything and hopefully they value that and respect that and understand the need for

[2:27:05] continuing support of that. So, you think else?

[2:27:15] Any other updates, comments?

[2:27:26] Come with fire-wise. We're looking pretty good. Brian went over. I think it was yesterday.

[2:27:36] We might have been on day over had conversation regarding the brewery, road, complex fire.

[2:27:47] It sounds like they put a lot of retard on the north end of the fire to keep it from continuing

[2:27:54] to burn north.

[2:27:55] And so

[2:28:00] Not at this point. Not too many concerns with that

[2:28:06] Trying to get back to some normal business and clean up some stuff regarding these buyers and

[2:28:14] Kind of get prepared for

[2:28:17] This weekend airshow coming up just you know

[2:28:22] So

[2:28:23] Is this vegetable happening?

[2:28:27] They're not there in the seats, but they're continuing to do work, to make it easy for them to come in and use that facility without having to scramble.

[2:28:46] And so there's we had a dispatch meeting yesterday where there was a lot of discussion about

[2:28:52] really bolstering that up through Frontier 911 as a backup site.

[2:29:01] And so I think there's a lot more interest in Frontier 911 doing that now than there was before because of the fires

[2:29:10] and how it impacted Condon, so I think that's a good thing for us, I think it's a good thing

[2:29:18] for recruitment, I think it's a good thing for retention and if they start using it as a satellite

[2:29:25] office and investing in that,

[2:29:29] it could be a win-win for all of us,

[2:29:36] but currently they do not

[2:29:37] having a nice sitting in there. It is operable. They can't go in there in terms of stuff on and sit in a chair, start dispatching.

[2:29:48] So, okay.

[2:30:01] Okay,

[2:30:08] Department of Head reports.

[2:30:11] Gabe, what do you think?

[2:30:13] Just a answer for you on a question. You asked earlier Commissioner Wunch during the Department

[2:30:18] Director Roundtable, you asked regarding the foreclosure list and the dollar value on that.

[2:30:23] Yeah, I double-checked and right now we have 26 accounts that would go to publication.

[2:30:27] Total taxes, only on those accounts is 143,058 dollars in 27 cents.

[2:30:33] it's

[2:30:47] 26 accounts. Yes sir.

[2:31:04] Thank you for that. Absolutely.

[2:31:09] Anything else?

[2:31:15] Accounting Council report.

[2:31:23] Accounting and Ministry. I'll talk to you three individually and

[2:31:27] said I kind of let you think about it and then talk about it today. We have received four

[2:31:32] applications for the Mac and discussion. Why should we start posting those on the website?

[2:31:44] when they come in, we've redact phone number address, it emails.

[2:31:50] One number address, you know.

[2:31:53] I believe there are answers to the questions that you asked in any other one person

[2:31:58] submitted kind of a resume.

[2:32:01] So we would include that as well.

[2:32:05] Yeah.

[2:32:08] So we will do that and there'll be on the kind of the same

[2:32:13] They make that website, so it is similar to if you went and looked how candidates were listed by the county clerk.

[2:32:24] We did that information, but their whole application is there for viewing purposes.

[2:32:31] Yes.

[2:32:32] We would read, we're redacting a little more of the clerk.

[2:32:34] Yes, we think the clerk did address only.

[2:32:37] We'll take one number and email out as well.

[2:32:41] Yeah.

[2:32:42] And clerk would be checking addresses for us to make sure that each applicant is eligible.

[2:32:56] Because that's essentially the requirement is eligibility.

[2:33:02] That I can't remember, I like to see you, is it you have to be eligible to be an

[2:33:09] electorate of the district or you have to actually be registered to vote in the

[2:33:13] district?

[2:33:16] I believe that you actually have to be registered to vote.

[2:33:19] Okay.

[2:33:19] So we will check that as well.

[2:33:23] The ones that have come in electronically, I have called people just to confirm that it's them.

[2:33:32] It's survey monkey and that one you can put in someone's name, someone's address, someone's phone number, and it won't say anything else.

[2:33:45] Just confirming that they submitted that.

[2:33:50] I've also let them know that like we today they would start being posted on the website.

[2:33:57] Okay.

[2:33:59] So I got...

[2:34:01] Okay.

[2:34:07] Okay.

[2:34:08] Commissioned discussion items.

[2:34:11] Mr. Sunwink.

[2:34:14] Rather than...

[2:34:15] That's something we don't need.

[2:34:28] Is there a way to talk to you about the virus in Jefferson County?

[2:34:33] I...

[2:34:33] I'm sorry.

[2:34:34] I deferred to Jason.

[2:34:35] No, you...

[2:34:39] Same.

[2:34:41] So the one thing I will say about the fires and I don't know if I'm alone in this, but I'm having a really hard time.

[2:34:48] You know, last year we dealt with half of our county variant and I thought that OEM did a good job and we had pretty good response, but this year I'm having a hard time with.

[2:35:00] I think we went five days on the row, well, was the brewer at that point, without any federal help or any, I mean, we were on our own pretty much, and I know Marky have more experience than that's the most, but I just have, I don't know, this is a federal level thing. I'm just thinking, you know, when we're in positions of advocacy at that level,

[2:35:26] the, the ability for them to open funding for,

[2:35:31] contractors that are here on the ground readily available, that fire could

[2:35:34] been put out in a couple hundred acres in my opinion. But we were left for five

[2:35:38] days. We had a loss of life to a wonderful resident of our county during that

[2:35:42] time protecting his own property. I don't know if I'm just

[2:35:50] too emotionally wrapped up

[2:35:52] the mess or if I, if I, if I see things correctly, but I just thought it was

[2:35:56] completely avoidable.

[2:35:59] I understand that our local crew of Forest Service employees

[2:36:04] was in Colorado fighting to fire at that at this time.

[2:36:08] But when you don't have any resources on the ground,

[2:36:10] the federal government should open up the ability

[2:36:15] to fund for those contractors instead of just letting

[2:36:18] sit on our hands for five days waiting for those things

[2:36:20] to explode.

[2:36:26] I think there's a lot bigger to the picture.

[2:36:31] I'm sure there is.

[2:36:32] And I'm still trying to peel back that onion a little bit.

[2:36:35] We just met as a RFPA last night and haven't even had an after-action report or discussion.

[2:36:48] And I told them, I said, we need to have one before there's a agency leaders'

[2:36:56] attraction meeting,

[2:37:01] because there is absolutely areas of failure.

[2:37:10] I don't think that is necessarily the by

[2:37:17] -dees-in, where's the federal threat?

[2:37:23] I don't know what levels those are in the bigger picture of things, because I think

[2:37:32] it's still on a lot of private, encroaching on federal, and I know there's certain levels

[2:37:41] before FEMA can jump in with threatened, Skigil can probably explain a way better.

[2:37:47] And I understand, with number of homes and certain levels, all that, to trigger things without federal land threat.

[2:37:57] And I understand the current conditions and requirements. It's just for me, I have a hard time when we are being told by these same agencies all year that it's going to be a bad fire,

[2:38:09] or heavy fire year, we were even warmed up the storm system coming through by some of these

[2:38:14] same federal agencies and yet the response time was, and that's why I understand, but what I'm

[2:38:20] saying is just because things are done, certain conditions are enacted right now and things have

[2:38:27] been done a certain way, doesn't mean that we can't advocate for change because it's ridiculous

[2:38:33] to have the largest, the real complex is the largest fire complex in the nation.

[2:38:39] And I think, no, not at all that graph, that big graph

[2:38:43] fire, whatever I wanted to do.

[2:38:45] But at one point, but yeah, at one point.

[2:38:47] And so, I think it's third or fourth.

[2:38:51] It didn't have to be that way, is where I'm saying.

[2:38:54] And I know that I'm a little bit charged on this,

[2:38:56] but I think that there needs to be conversations

[2:38:58] that upper level that they need to relook at the whole system.

[2:39:03] So they don't have these constant, anyways.

[2:39:07] I know this is I don't need to talk about this for next half hour, but I know I hear yet, and I

[2:39:16] I don't get along the cruise on the ground or doing a great job. I just it's that initial start time that we have under some of these conditions

[2:39:25] It's it's leadership. It's policies. It's procedures. Oops. It's hand-trying. It's

[2:39:33] Why is the the local I found this out last night?

[2:39:36] why is the local ODIF initial response, probably the most educated person from ODIF that

[2:39:47] knows the area, why after they relinquished their authority and turned it over to

[2:40:00] The state team. Why was that team sitting at home? The whole fire? When that guy knows that area better than I do? Those things that are coming up after the fact, why are we not having agreements with the matters airport to land helicopters until the middle of the fire?

[2:40:28] Like, some of these things are coming up.

[2:40:33] The stories can go on and on and on.

[2:40:35] And this is the information I heard on a section of the fire.

[2:40:40] And so I'm trying to piece the rest of those divisions together.

[2:40:44] And that's just all a brewer fire.

[2:40:46] I mean, I have no idea what aqua, or ban,

[2:40:50] like, I didn't even have the capacity.

[2:40:53] No idea.

[2:40:54] So I know there's a much bigger piece to that.

[2:40:57] Yeah.

[2:41:00] Yeah.

[2:41:00] I know we can say you're going to talk stories.

[2:41:02] That's why you're going to convene something with Rick County, and we're going

[2:41:05] to do, we're going to have some stuff out in October, November, no matter what.

[2:41:11] That's a hundred percent.

[2:41:13] Bits is coming just in, you know that.

[2:41:15] But Bits is coming, I think, the end of this month.

[2:41:17] He's bringing USDA's a kind of response stuff at that, but I think we, if we share our concerns

[2:41:26] with him, which is the fed stuff.

[2:41:30] Yeah, yeah.

[2:41:31] The fed's, you know, quite frankly, that going and touring that Redmond air center was phenomenal

[2:41:36] for me because there was 271 strikes in one day or whatever.

[2:41:40] So there's sent a resource in Montana, Washington, Idaho, California, wherever the hell

[2:41:45] they're sending them.

[2:41:47] And yeah, I mean, we can sit here and talk about, we were talking about that during the

[2:41:52] aqua.

[2:41:52] It was like, well, you're going to protect the million dollar holes, but you're getting

[2:41:55] going to predict a billion-dollar fourth of timber, hypothetically, right?

[2:41:58] So there are those arguments, and I think that's just one big, isn't match in the future

[2:42:03] here to get prepared for next year.

[2:42:06] So.

[2:42:07] And the whole point of me bringing this up is in my, letting my emotions cloud, is this, in my valid

[2:42:19] in what happened in my thought process here or is this just me being pissed off and

[2:42:24] 1% 100% you know it's going to make you second guess your confirmation and

[2:42:30] whatever the hell's called that you sign you know it's going to be second we're

[2:42:33] going to have some what does it look like before we do stuff like that

[2:42:39] have a nice coming from not and thank you for coming but I see from North Carolina

[2:42:44] Arizona or wherever they don't look at them oh I think we could not not

[2:42:49] our local guys know exactly what they all to do.

[2:42:51] Well, that's the same conversation we talked about in

[2:42:54] 30 seconds or a minute ago, our RFPAs, you know,

[2:42:58] local fire districts, to do it right down the list.

[2:43:01] It's not going to get any better.

[2:43:02] And that's like, like I said, you know,

[2:43:06] story on story, but when you have ODIF,

[2:43:09] so you're Steve, Steve.

[2:43:11] So it's not our whole response within the region.

[2:43:15] What when they take over and

[2:43:18] I'm sitting there present land owner as the neighboring land owner saying what do you and they say I don't know or

[2:43:27] We can't give you an answer because of liability when

[2:43:34] The RFBAs are a sister agents to ODIF and you can't even have a conversation or use our intel like there's so many issues there

[2:43:46] And honestly, I wouldn't be able to have a party.

[2:43:52] And they know what's coming.

[2:43:55] Because that's a direct agency partnership.

[2:43:59] It's not even across agency deals.

[2:44:06] There's a lot.

[2:44:07] But also, I hate seeing equipment just sitting on the ground, not being utilized.

[2:44:12] When you have, whatever it is, eight different contractors in our county alone that are just

[2:44:16] sitting on the sidelines waiting for the call, watching the fire explode, it can be on that.

[2:44:22] There's a clipman sitting on warm springs that have the people that I was talking to didn't even

[2:44:27] know about, and so is utilized late in the game. These are issues, right? And so it's like,

[2:44:34] what the heck's going on, guys? There's not an agency communication or as far as it's leadership

[2:44:41] If we pop down, there's a reason why that, because they

[2:44:50] don't want to put out fire, hands down, and I'll call it out, how it is, these agency leaders, it's not on our local guys, it's true.

[2:45:00] State that are getting told from the governor down or whatever leadership down. We're not going to put the fire out.

[2:45:12] That is the fact.

[2:45:16] That's the message going down.

[2:45:19] The speaker addressed in a big way. Contractors are not getting called that are on the list ready to go and sit in two miles down the road.

[2:45:26] Yep. I have windowners that have equipment sitting there and we don't have management to manage them.

[2:45:34] We don't have a contract with them. Where are our PA?

[2:45:38] Tell us, hey, hypothetically, if this does our line was here, we can make a stand here.

[2:45:47] Hypothetically, got it done. That isn't even happening. They do not want it now.

[2:45:53] And I'll I'm on the record and I'll say that. First thing in experience, when you have a 10-mile

[2:46:01] section of the brewer fire, that didn't have a paint dozer on it until they set.

[2:46:10] Their dozers are sitting everywhere. We got the neighbor that has more dozers than was on that

[2:46:23] on that division,

[2:46:28] five hours into the shift, doesn't even have a plane for the dozer.

[2:46:33] Like that's the ass-in-ine management.

[2:46:37] They're under qualified, they don't know what they're doing,

[2:46:41] and then they say there's no middle management to run these dozers,

[2:46:44] or equipment, or whatnot.

[2:46:47] Well, how many people are sitting in the building in Prime Bill,

[2:46:51] in Salem, pushing paper, in the middle of fire season,

[2:46:55] Trying to be agreements with the city of Madras to land their helicopters to fuel them up in the middle of

[2:47:02] fire season when that upper management should be running those or should be calling things out, and they're not even doing that.

[2:47:12] There's a big issue.

[2:47:18] So, no, I hear, and I think there's a lot of conversations and there's going to be a

[2:47:25] lot of heat, and I don't think these agencies know exactly what's coming.

[2:47:31] They've heard some of that, but I think there's a silent war coming.

[2:47:38] Well, and just, you know, that's the best thing.

[2:47:40] It was just hitting direction on a way to where I'm not afraid to have this conversation

[2:47:45] whatever level.

[2:47:46] It was necessary, you know, but I don't know, I just wanted to know if I was valid in my

[2:47:53] thought process there.

[2:47:54] You are, and I'm not saying everything was bad, but there was enough bad that the quiet

[2:48:04] people aren't going to be quiet.

[2:48:07] The easy, just in timber alone, billion dollars, that was lost by Jefferson County private landowners, one billion dollars.

[2:48:20] That's just on the timber. That speaks volumes.

[2:48:25] Nope.

[2:48:30] No, I've been by tongue a lot because I know it's coming but yeah, there is some

[2:48:42] major issues.

[2:48:46] We'll work through this process and a productive manner. I mean, we can be very

[2:48:53] from and

[2:48:57] direct with what happened and what needs to change. But we also need to have solutions

[2:49:08] going forward as well.

[2:49:18] You're at it. That's my internal fire that I'm trying to keep it

[2:49:25] a little bit, but it's all the time keeping things up based on plates.

[2:49:32] It's stressful.

[2:49:34] Yeah.

[2:49:35] On me personally as well,

[2:49:41] because it's generational.

[2:49:43] I mean, 100 years, you're never going to see this, hopefully not again, but it hasn't

[2:49:50] happened in 100 years plus, and I think very few people understand the magnitude of what just

[2:49:57] happened.

[2:49:57] I agree with you 100 percent.

[2:50:00] I'm really different than the grandfire, totally different.

[2:50:10] And you've got an on both sides.

[2:50:12] So, I'm doing, I'm doing hokawai and brewer, and then everything else in between.

[2:50:19] And I've given quite a bit of grace because this has been a year that number of fires,

[2:50:28] the callouts, like all those things, totally understandable,

[2:50:34] but the things that I can't look past are the not making a decision,

[2:50:42] five, six years or hours and those type of things where it's not a matter of,

[2:50:58] that's my

[2:50:58] hand.

[2:50:59] That's okay.

[2:51:02] What

[2:51:05] else?

[2:51:07] That's it, just to let you guys know Highway 97 projects still continues with the coalition

[2:51:19] of counties and getting cities and their names on board. We've gotten pretty much every city

[2:51:26] all up and down the corridor, including prime building sisters, which is nice for them to jump

[2:51:30] on board. I think the next phases of approach is we're going to be doing some

[2:51:38] getting individuals to be key members, you know, tribe school districts, all that stuff to kind of

[2:51:44] a media campaign, and then there might be some organized signholders and silver

[2:51:53] communities for the media as well at some point. So just being aware of what the

[2:51:57] stages are going to be going through it to get the attention on. Just so I'm

[2:52:01] in our federal legislators that we're not going to sit by and be silent. We're not

[2:52:08] going away. So there you go. Does it want to do that up to? If you don't

[2:52:13] Anybody here have anybody that you would like to recommend to be a person to go on camera to talk about some of the issues.

[2:52:18] We have a 97 that would be fantastic.

[2:52:20] I'll show you in my way.

[2:52:21] Community mail.

[2:52:23] Protects.

[2:52:33] There's nothing else with a good order before executive session.

[2:52:40] We're resessing after or we come back.

[2:52:44] We're coming back, correct?

[2:52:45] I think the doctor, the doctor, the ICU does not need rest to come back, right?

[2:52:56] I would, I guess, let's just say that we will come back and assess the case.

[2:53:00] There's actually any taken.

[2:53:01] Say good bye.

[2:53:03] Okay.

[2:53:05] Which one?

[2:53:06] I guess it doesn't matter which one I read first.

[2:53:10] Okay.
