[0:00] Okay, good evening. Welcome to everybody into the fiscal court meeting for here September 22nd, 2026. Please stand for the invocation and pledge.
[0:16] Heavenly Father, we thank you for this day. We especially thank you for all the things we forget to say thank you for our families, our community, the challenges we can overcome and all the blessings you give to us. We ask you to be with us as the leaders of Kent County that the work we do this evening is pleasing to your will. We ask you to especially be with those in the community who are in most need.
[0:37] for any health reasons, mental illness.
[0:40] There are those who are without stable housing
[0:43] or those who are hungry.
[0:44] We ask you to please be with them
[0:46] and give their families and strength
[0:47] to get through those challenges that they have before them.
[0:51] We ask you to be with those who serve our community
[0:53] and put their lives in the line, police and fire,
[0:57] and those who serve in the national effort
[0:58] to keep our safe freedoms.
[1:01] And also give our wisdom to all elected officials
[1:04] to do the right thing, no matter what the consequence.
[1:06] And we ask this here, son, Jesus name, in that I pledge allegiance to the mayor of the United States of America, and to be remembered before we just stand in one nation under God, individual, with the right way to do justice for all.
[1:28] Okay, we have for a gendered item for approval of minutes from September the 8th.
[1:35] motion to approve. Seconded. Motion to seconded your question of comment all
[1:40] in favor. Aye. Any opposed motion carries. Citizens addressed we have two would
[1:46] like to address the court. Mr. Bianchi I guess is it the proper pronunciation?
[1:53] Good
[1:53] evening sir.
[1:59] Judge members of the court. You may remember me from being here several
[2:02] months ago kind of raised in Cain and I think my mother raised me right and if
[2:08] you can complain, y'all to be able to compliment.
[2:10] So the situation with the dog has continued to be weird,
[2:14] but Mr. Gunning has been amazing, actions been taken,
[2:18] Whitney has been great at communicating,
[2:21] and we're on the right track.
[2:23] So like I said, if I could complain,
[2:25] I can say thank you.
[2:27] So thank you.
[2:27] Thank you, sir.
[2:28] Appreciate that very much.
[2:30] And the class by which you are doing that,
[2:33] appreciate it.
[2:33] Well, we're here to help.
[2:34] Appreciate it.
[2:35] You're awesome.
[2:36] Thank you, sir.
[2:37] Mr. Staberman, I'm not sure if the mic's on, by the way, is the light on here?
[2:43] Hello, testing, testing.
[2:46] Yep, good.
[2:51] He was very short, so are we getting three like we have the last couple times?
[2:55] Three minutes are a good, yeah, yeah.
[2:56] Okay.
[2:57] All right, I want to thank all the concerned citizens who have been here in the last ten
[3:02] months first and foremost to hold this fiscal court to account, so I want to thank this
[3:09] I thank the employees who show up every time report the business of the county to the people first and foremost and also the elect officials.
[3:19] This is my last address to this body I'm moving for my family and I do want to reflect a little bit over what I've seen in the last 10 months I've been here almost every meeting.
[3:32] safe for when the storm blew through and almost destroyed a house I was living in
[3:37] or a few other random happenstances. And I just really want to focus on two things.
[3:44] I have severe concerns about the direction this body is going, especially in
[3:50] light of the code of ethics changes. I see it as a significant relaxation of what
[4:00] that could happen in this chamber.
[4:01] I have concerns and I have concerns
[4:04] about how this chamber conducts itself
[4:07] because I've brought this up before,
[4:09] but I talked about the code of ethics online
[4:12] and I saw people echoing it,
[4:14] people saying, I can't even be there at 5.30.
[4:17] I'm glad you were there to say something.
[4:19] I have a kid.
[4:20] I have to be there for dinner with my kid
[4:23] or I just left my job.
[4:25] There's no way for me to get there in traffic.
[4:27] Thank you for saying something.
[4:28] The lights are on in this building, but you're operating in darkness most meetings.
[4:35] You know you don't have a reporter here, local reporting, usually that struggle to get
[4:41] someone here.
[4:42] So a lot of times they rely on having a citizen who can report back and show the events
[4:48] to people.
[4:49] But you put the meeting at 5.30 pm.
[4:52] If I could ask for one thing, when I leave this county, it is that you push the meeting
[4:57] back by an hour or an hour and a half. Make it possible for working people to be here,
[5:05] to have a voice. It's not okay that you do all this in darkness. It's not okay that
[5:11] you get to make a code of ethics decision. That's significant. And only two people can be
[5:17] here to say anything. And everybody online is like, thank God you were there. I wish I could
[5:21] be there. I just ask you to act like you're serving people instead of acting like you want
[5:28] to get to dinner at 7 p.m. That's all I ask. And I for the whole time known there's been
[5:35] one person I trust is actually serving people. So I thank you Commissioner Droud but the
[5:40] rest of you I have concerns and I have concerns when there are business partners also lighting
[5:46] up to be on this fiscal court.
[5:49] So please, you're going to do what you're going to do, but at least give the people an opportunity
[5:55] to be a part of this, as all I ask, and I think Kent and County will be much better off
[5:59] for it.
[6:00] Thank you.
[6:01] Thank you.
[6:05] That's the cough that's circling the office, so I've heard these a little smooth.
[6:12] I feel compelled to make a comment, I certainly appreciate you're trusting me, and I think
[6:24] all these other people are very trustworthy as well.
[6:28] But I do admire anyone who is willing to fight for a cause.
[6:35] and I know that's part of your DNA and so good luck wherever you go and good
[6:44] luck with your family and I hope you have a good life.
[6:51] Okay we're going to move
[6:52] on to our other general business. We have a public hearing I'm going to call on
[6:56] Taylor from the it. Taylor I think we're going to give you the microphone to
[7:00] to handle this public hearing for a close out of our 2024 and 2025 recovery CDDG grant.
[7:08] Okay. Thank you for having me this evening. My name is Taylor Preligram from the Northern
[7:13] Kentucky area development district and I am here to conduct the public hearing for the
[7:20] close out of the 2024 and 2025 community development block grant for transitions.
[7:33] So I would ask if anyone in the room has comments on that or questions, we can collect them now. Otherwise, I would ask the fiscal court for approval of those closeout documents.
[7:51] We have to take an action on that.
[7:53] Okay.
[7:54] We need a motion to approve the closeout.
[7:56] So moved.
[7:57] Second.
[7:58] Motion second.
[7:58] A little favor.
[7:59] All right.
[8:00] Any opposed?
[8:00] Motion carries.
[8:01] And back to you.
[8:03] All right.
[8:03] And then since we have those closeout, we're going to move on to 2026.
[8:07] Same thing.
[8:08] If you have any questions or comments on that project funded by the community development block grant,
[8:13] we can take them now.
[8:15] but I do need approval of the application for the 2026 round.
[8:20] Great.
[8:22] Motion to approve.
[8:24] Any other comment?
[8:25] Okay, motion.
[8:25] We have a second.
[8:26] Second.
[8:27] Motion to second, one favor.
[8:28] Hi.
[8:29] Any opposed?
[8:29] Motion carries.
[8:30] Nice and easy to other things.
[8:31] Yeah, great work.
[8:32] Thank you.
[8:33] Of course.
[8:34] Okay, claims list, Kurt.
[8:37] Claims list was sent out last week, are there any questions?
[8:41] Okay, thank you.
[8:42] Sure. Okay, we have a request for approval of our panel of taxes for innovative opening solutions projects of Jim. Welcome in
[8:54] a date of opening solutions is a business located since
[8:57] it wasn't mine. Innovative opening solutions is moving its operation. President Trump, he does that all the time.
[9:06] me too, I'm sorry, but any of the innovative solutions is a business in Cincinnati.
[9:14] They were also related to Erlinger Hardware and Operation where they basically create
[9:20] and develop a door opening, opening and closing facilth, fasteners for industrial and other
[9:28] type of projects and things.
[9:30] They're moving actually to a location in Covington, Kentucky and Latonia where they're going
[9:34] They're going to take it, they're buying a part of an existing building along Winston Avenue and that's going to be subdivided for their operation.
[9:42] They're bringing about 50 jobs to the location and it should will grow.
[9:47] It's a really nice business and they're not seeking any other local incentives or state incentives here but they do want our interested in a industrial revenue bond for the value to receive some property tax incentives for the project.
[10:02] the, and so in this one, it's a 15 year IRB city of coming to the sponsor, they'll be
[10:09] issuing the bonds, so the city and county's pilot percentage will be 20% and I'll be
[10:16] meeting with the school district, the school district pilot will be 50%.
[10:20] So the big difference on the numbers is that both the city and county would generate
[10:24] significant payroll taxes from the project when it moves in.
[10:27] So we were in the city proposed that city proposed and they negotiated the pilot on on behalf of the for the economic development what why you're
[10:37] Of course, I've nicknamed you mr. Tax
[10:41] Increment but
[10:44] When does that expire the state the state program is the
[10:50] The two of the state tax increment programs have already expired expired
[10:54] There were the real property avalorum tax and the what we call the mixed use program that's expired
[11:01] And there's still some projects pending, but they got approved by the end of June so there they can move forward
[11:07] The signature program is still in existence for a few years, but it's going to it's been sunset at two
[11:13] So I don't think you'll ever see any additional signature projects or state tiff increment programs available
[11:20] That's why I'm converting it over to the bond guy now
[11:24] You still got a job.
[11:26] I still got a job.
[11:29] The general perception in Frankfurt is that one that it's been very successful or the
[11:38] tax increment financing?
[11:40] Well, Commissioner Draud, you'll appreciate this.
[11:44] The problem we had with the state-tiff program in Frankfurt is that, quite frankly, the rule
[11:49] legislators have all the power.
[11:52] And as a result of that, they saw the signature programs and the state-tip programs benefiting
[11:58] the urban areas.
[11:59] They didn't see them benefiting the rural areas because of the way the programs were set
[12:05] up.
[12:07] Of course, the rural areas get most of the state money anyway, quite frankly.
[12:11] But basically, that's what happened, the major player in the house who's a rural legislator
[12:18] just never did like the state-tip programs.
[12:20] So he was able to get an amendment that kind of sailed through right at the end of the session to sunset that nobody, it would move so fast, nobody could even do much about it.
[12:30] So that's what happened, but it's this rule, it's not a partisan issue quite frankly in Frank anymore.
[12:35] It's rule versus the urban areas and quite frankly the urban areas don't stick together enough to stop what the rule legislatures are doing.
[12:45] I mean, that is what's happening in Frankfurt right now.
[12:47] Yeah, it's like when I was there, I used to advocate on these coal-producing counties
[12:53] that advocate to pay tax because the liquor county for paying tax and that got everybody's
[13:02] attention.
[13:04] So, one of the very popular moves.
[13:08] We would appreciate the court's support of this program.
[13:11] It's a really nice business moving into the middle of the zone yet.
[13:14] So I'll move I'll move you approve
[13:18] I'll second it motion second on favor. Hi. Hi. Any opposed motion carries. Thanks, Jim. Thank you very much. Appreciate it. Thank you
[13:29] Yeah
[13:31] We have moved on to resolutions. We have resolution 2226-01K
[13:37] Budget adjustments Kirk
[13:38] budget adjustments are three of them $12,634 to the police unused sick pay
[13:45] line that's to cover the payout of a retirement. $60,000 for the county
[13:53] government building repairs for this building and $23,850 for the longevity
[14:01] readiness plan in the coat fund that was an error we closed out of purchase order
[14:05] before the final payment was made so it didn't roll over into the new year so we're asking
[14:10] to move that money so we can make that final payment and that project is complete.
[14:15] Was it $60,000 for repairs of this building?
[14:20] The building repairs.
[14:21] The building repairs.
[14:22] Painting throughout the building.
[14:23] These are budget projects.
[14:24] Multiple repairs.
[14:25] More mist and this is the...
[14:29] May I call for it?
[14:30] May I call for it?
[14:31] May I call for it?
[14:31] May I call for it?
[14:32] May I call for it?
[14:35] No, I'd go for good.
[14:36] We moved in in 2019.
[14:38] 2019, time moves on, yes.
[14:44] All right, very good, any other questions?
[14:47] Or, okay, do you have a motion to approve?
[14:50] A motion to approve.
[14:51] Second.
[14:52] Motion to second, a question or comment?
[14:54] All in favor?
[14:55] All right.
[14:56] Any opposed?
[14:56] Motion carries.
[14:58] Ordinance 226.3.
[15:00] No action required. The court providing for a partial credit of its occupational license fee for determined period is part of the economic development project but white horse freight under Kentucky business investment program. So do you want to cover that? Sure. This is an ordinance that we approved back in 2022 white horse freight applied for a KBI and then we supplemented that with a credit of our occupational tax collection.
[15:29] And then when we adjusted our rate in 23, we amended that ordinance.
[15:34] And then when we adjusted our rate in 2024, we did not amend that ordinance.
[15:39] And they have now applied and met the criteria to get the KBI.
[15:43] So we're passing this ordinance to align our occupational rate with what they actually paid so
[15:49] that the credit matches 50% of the rate.
[15:54] and then it also looks ahead and says if we ever adjust our rate that the
[15:59] ordinance will apply to the then current rate so we don't have to keep doing
[16:02] this amending the same ordinance. So moved. I'll second.
[16:07] Motion to second all favor. Hi. Any opposed? Motion carries. Moving on to the
[16:12] consent agenda. We do have less like 14 items if you have any questions it would
[16:17] like to address any of them individually including our quietness for our
[16:22] sheriff is on there as well. It was in the room.
[16:35] We'll make a motion that we
[16:36] approve the consent agenda is presented. I'll second it. Motion is second all
[16:42] in favor. Aye. Aye. Any opposed? Motion carries. Executive order 26-106. The
[16:48] court accepting resignation of Taylor Sharp as animal service volunteer
[16:51] coordinator. So moved. Second. Motion is second all in favor. Aye. Any opposed?
[17:01] Motion
[17:01] Resignation of Nelson Bibb as an Animal Service Tech.
[17:05] So moved.
[17:06] Second.
[17:06] Motion to second on favor.
[17:08] Aye.
[17:09] Any opposed?
[17:09] Motion carries.
[17:11] And order 26-108, the Court of Proving Employment of Page,
[17:16] DeVrooman as an Animal Shelter Tech as well.
[17:19] So moved.
[17:20] Second.
[17:21] Motion to second on favor.
[17:22] Aye.
[17:23] Any opposed?
[17:24] Motion carries.
[17:25] Order 26-109.
[17:27] Proving the discretionary increases for Kent and County employees
[17:30] for 26 days, 27.
[17:34] So I may have trouble with that.
[17:36] I'll second.
[17:38] Mission second.
[17:38] Any questions?
[17:39] Come in.
[17:40] All in favor.
[17:41] Hi.
[17:41] Any opposed?
[17:43] And we passed that.
[17:45] By the way, thanks for everybody's hard work about it.
[17:47] Joe and the leadership and Kelly have done a great
[17:50] shot with us every year.
[17:52] Administrative reporting, Jessica Ramsey,
[17:57] Technology Services.
[18:00] Tonight, I will be talking to you about tax systems.
[18:03] So, we are working on implementing new tax system for the Sheriff's Office for Property
[18:08] Tax Collections.
[18:09] That's going pretty well.
[18:11] This should be replacing our older cobalt system and moving it to a modern development environment.
[18:16] We've been working a lot with our current programmer and with the Sheriff's Office in addition
[18:20] to the clerk's office to get this going and make sure it's really smooth and runs really
[18:25] well for the public.
[18:26] Additionally, we've also pushed a design refresh for occupational license tax collection
[18:32] system, so it looks a little more modern.
[18:34] The previous interface was about 10 years old, and now it's a lot more easier for the
[18:40] public to interact with, pay their taxes, everything like that.
[18:43] It looks very nice and very pleased with it, so I'm hoping that the public also just loves
[18:47] using this beautiful new tax collection system, so I will stand for any questions.
[18:52] What specifically are you going to do to make property taxes more smooth terms of collection?
[19:01] In terms of the collection, there will be a new site online for people to pay their taxes.
[19:06] So I don't know that this year that will impact the timing on when people can pay their taxes necessarily.
[19:12] But it will be a more secure site and it will be, it'll look a little more modern.
[19:17] I think people will be more comfortable using it instead of our older system, the old K-Core system.
[19:23] So it also integrates with the clerk system.
[19:26] So when we move the tax collection from the sheriff's office over to the clerk system,
[19:30] we're hoping that'll be a much smoother ride with far fewer errors.
[19:38] And thank you for your help.
[19:40] I know that Sheriff's and his team have appreciated your work, but also thank the sheriff.
[19:44] if I appreciate them jumping in to get this resolved
[19:47] and the work I know gave to as well, but I appreciate it.
[19:52] Spencer Stewart, public works.
[19:57] Good evening.
[19:58] As to a couple of items.
[20:00] So we had on the agenda tonight,
[20:02] we had approval for Anderson Road, Culver Replacement,
[20:07] for Raven Eskivating to complete that.
[20:10] We also had an item for resurfacing of Alexander Road.
[20:15] Those are both items that were included
[20:18] in last year's local assistance road program application through KYTC that we received funding for.
[20:26] We also have a project on Highwater Road to repair two slides that was part of that program
[20:31] and that scheduled to start about October 5th. So three projects right there from that program
[20:36] that are all we're getting the ball rolling on. We also are going to apply for this next round
[20:46] of local assistance road program by the end of the month here, so hopefully we get some
[20:51] more projects as well. Any questions?
[20:57] Yeah, I'm concerned about the Dixie Highway, you know, this area around Fort Mitchell.
[21:05] I mean, it's pathetic. I mean, if you've driven that part, I mean it's like the whole road
[21:11] is given away. Yeah and we've reached spots and then down there close to the
[21:17] cemetery. I mean no plans to do anything with that. As far as the reconstruction
[21:24] the reconstruction of the whole road that is in the highway department six
[21:29] year plan. As far as the intermediate needs I know they've done some patching
[21:34] here and there. We've also reached out to try to you know figure out more about the
[21:39] whole manhole situation we do know that it's more related to communications companies
[21:45] that have the manholes that are along the will path as opposed to you know it being
[21:51] any water or sewer structures so we're actively trying to work for that with that coordination
[21:58] with those companies as well and in KYTC and see what we can get down with that but the
[22:04] the full reconstruction of Dixie Highway
[22:07] that is a project that's in this six-year plan,
[22:09] but it's a large plan.
[22:11] I mean, when are they planning on dealing with that?
[22:15] So I have to go back and refresh my memory
[22:18] on the funding that they have,
[22:20] but they have to acquire some right of way,
[22:23] and then they would have to do some utility relocations.
[22:26] I believe that those are the two phases
[22:28] that are currently have funding programmed, I believe.
[22:34] Well, maybe Bobby Yeager ought to consider just closing that lane, you know, I mean, it's
[22:41] really pathetic, I think.
[22:43] I don't know.
[22:44] Anybody shared that opinion with me, but that lane ought to maybe be closed and just
[22:51] down to one lane.
[22:53] I think it get people's attention, you know.
[22:56] I mean, really, it's so bad.
[22:58] I don't know what the mayor, former mayor thinks about it, but most of it's right close
[23:08] to that city building, but I don't know, maybe closing the lane is the answer.
[23:16] Well, because we can't make the call on it, but we did have been pushing, John, I think
[23:20] that probably that section is, probably gotten as much of our attention as probably anything
[23:25] in the past few months, but because we can't go in and just raise all those lids.
[23:31] But I would ask the question so because there's some bad spots that aren't having to do
[23:36] with the manholes, but those, maybe even that prepared date Spencer or offering to do it for
[23:42] the state and building them, maybe with an option there, there's bad spots, not a rebuild,
[23:47] and then maybe if we go to the data companies, they're responsible for their main hole,
[23:53] which is the problem, right?
[23:54] So they don't give permission to the state
[23:57] just to come in and raise the manholes,
[23:59] but the state could go in and raise them
[24:01] and send them a bill, right?
[24:03] Oh, that's a great question.
[24:05] I don't know.
[24:07] I know they typically rely on the communications companies
[24:10] to, what they're being, you know, private companies.
[24:13] This is not only the manhole problem,
[24:15] this is a whole road is collapsing, you know?
[24:20] I mean, it's not that, not this is sort of it.
[24:22] We're all on agreement, John.
[24:24] I really do agree with you.
[24:24] We all agree with you.
[24:26] It's going to be a...
[24:27] Well, I can't we get anything done then.
[24:31] You know, I mean...
[24:32] Well, I think part of it is there's been a huge hold up
[24:34] on projects being let.
[24:37] So even if the funding is there,
[24:39] and we don't want to get ourselves in total trouble,
[24:42] but the reality is the amount of projects
[24:44] that have been let by Frankfurt is what is it down
[24:47] by 80% for something crazy?
[24:49] Yeah, they just have to be holding them.
[24:51] So they're not even if the money's there, so it's unfortunate.
[24:54] I'm not joking about closing that lane.
[24:57] You know, I think that might be the temporary solution.
[25:01] Just closing the right lane, you know.
[25:04] We'll reach out to KYTC and see if we can get an update
[25:08] and try to keep it out.
[25:09] You know, a better date for repairs, especially.
[25:12] More to come.
[25:13] We'll keep on pushing.
[25:16] OK, Whitney, animal services.
[25:21] Good evening. I first wanted to start with the thanking you guys for approving our first
[25:27] new hire since I've started. Well, in the interim position page, we're pretty excited
[25:33] about her starting. She starts tomorrow. She comes with a little bit of experience, so
[25:37] we're excited. We're currently just working on filling some vacancies that we have at
[25:41] the shelter. So outside of that, I mean, we're just kind of dealing with the day to day,
[25:47] you know, so. How's the population? It's pretty high. Right now we're running a
[25:55] missile event again. We try to do that. I think it's about four times a year. So
[25:59] they do way we do a wave adoption fees over six months. We've already seen
[26:03] some success with that right now. I wasn't here and the last time I was supposed
[26:09] to present, but one of the biggest things that we had is we had a long
[26:12] term or a wrought wire that we had that was a volunteer favorite finally got adopted.
[26:17] And so it's one of those big successes that once you get to those points it's kind of
[26:21] one of those things that you just look at and you just like okay this is why we're in
[26:25] this, this is why we're doing this so yeah.
[26:28] What is an average adoption fee?
[26:31] So we do 125 and that's pretty reasonable for the area.
[26:35] I think Boone charges maybe 60 for a dog and I do believe they wave adoption fees on cats,
[26:43] adult cats. But we don't typically have an issue with our adoption fees and people willing to
[26:48] pay them, so yeah.
[26:53] Thank you very much. John with external affairs.
[26:59] A couple things real quick.
[27:00] This evening first just came from the first anniversary celebration for Sparkhouse. You've heard me say
[27:06] This along the journey with this project, but there's probably no project I've been involved with which is more exceeded expectations from ideation to financing design construction and an execution of it a year into this all 35 offices are released with a waiting list for folks to get into the building.
[27:25] Memberships over 470 and from a programmatic perspective, it's delivered on everything that we would have hoped for from a programmatic perspective.
[27:33] So, you know, we can go into this in depth, but I know we don't want to this evening, but, you know, that's one of those lanes of economic development that has been added in the community that in retrospect, people will just take it for granted.
[27:46] You know, they'll just be like, well, it seems like it was always this way. The reality is, it was an extremely complicated project to blow open resources for kind of a critical area of economic development.
[27:55] It's been well executed and knock on wood, hopefully it will continue that direction.
[28:00] Second thing, and this is a program that Commissioner Drowswell familiar with, which they announced
[28:06] the National Merit Scholar semi-finalist recently, and just a nod of the hat.
[28:12] There were 18 elite students identified in Northern Kentucky, nine of those 18 and 10 in
[28:18] County Schools, so we were well represented among the cohort that were identified here in
[28:23] Northern Kentucky and in particular Beachwood. I think had two students identified and
[28:28] coming to Catholic also had two students identified with a sprinkling of individuals at some
[28:33] of the other schools. So that's always a good news for some of our schools here in
[28:38] Kitten County. Happy to take any questions or address anything that you all have an interest
[28:43] in.
[28:45] I'm sure you know this, but 1.5% of all the juniors in the United States are the National
[28:53] America semi-fifths.
[28:56] Yeah, and it's a lead recognition, if you look at I think the five universities that
[29:00] are highly represented in the program, it's MIT, Caltech, Harvard, Stanford, and Duke.
[29:06] So it gives you a sense of the kind of plateau that those students have placed themselves
[29:11] on as far as potential academically. John, were you a merits color? You really want me to answer
[29:18] that question? Yeah. I am on the wall at St. X High School in Louisville so I could teach your
[29:29] That's why he brought it up to that.
[29:31] Yes, I was.
[29:34] You hired it well.
[29:36] Oh, he does.
[29:39] I'm stunned.
[29:42] You need that young.
[29:44] That's not bigger than much.
[29:47] Well, let's just sit down.
[29:49] Thanks, Josh.
[29:50] Mr. Grady and Cam.
[29:51] I just need the record to reflect
[29:53] with the August financial reports
[29:55] It's been submitted.
[29:56] Were you a national nurse?
[29:57] I was not a national nurse.
[30:01] Any questions occurred? Okay. County Administration report. Just wanted to ask for two amendments to the fiscal court meeting schedule coming up. If you guys can move the October 13th reading to a Wednesday, October 14th, keeping the location independence and time perfectly same. The second move would be for December 8th, just moving the location from independence to
[30:30] to be coming to keeping the same time.
[30:33] So I'm moving.
[30:34] Second.
[30:35] Second?
[30:37] Yes.
[30:38] Yes, I did.
[30:39] Motion second?
[30:40] All in favor.
[30:40] Hi.
[30:41] Hi.
[30:41] Any opposed?
[30:42] Motion carries.
[30:44] They did not have merit scholars in Paris in touch.
[30:49] You're going to use bell that, right?
[30:51] That's right.
[30:54] County attorney's report.
[30:56] I will just recognize my own nephew, Jack Duzin,
[31:00] that comes in Catholic who is a national merit finalist so they're a great young man.
[31:07] Final grads.
[31:08] Yeah.
[31:09] One of the two that John mentioned was great.
[31:11] My daughter got that, they gave $2,000 scholarship and of course she took a scholarship instead
[31:21] because they were giving $50,000 dollars for the dentist.
[31:25] Oh wow.
[31:25] You know in Vanderbilt.
[31:27] She might have screwed that up.
[31:35] Yes, she's amazing.
[31:37] Commissioner Soule.
[31:38] I have nothing, Judge.
[31:39] Commissioner Graham?
[31:41] I just like to thank everybody during my time of illness there for
[31:46] a couple, well not a couple months, but almost a month to
[31:51] two different styles and certainly wasn't very pleasant. Everybody here at the
[31:59] county employees included was very kind to me and I certainly appreciate it.
[32:07] Eight years old now and so I'm looking forward to the resurrection.
[32:22] I think we're all glad that John's back. I think we've got five or four more meetings left and we need to finish strong and I'm glad to be here with John and everybody. I'm glad he's back. Second of all, I want to wish my mother a happy birthday.
[32:41] I don't have anything to report that I'm not screwing up there on me, and we have no need
[32:49] for executive sessions even, so we just need a motion to adjourn, so I'll move.
[32:54] Second.
[32:55] I'm in favor.
[32:55] We're calling for a favor.
[32:56] It's Friday night.
[32:58] We're calling for a favor.
[32:59] It's Friday night.
