[1:37] for it stands one nation

[1:41] indivisibley

[1:43] and justice for all

[1:56] All

[2:02] right. So, I on visitor comments, um,

[2:07] we'll go ahead and do the road

[2:10] department's report. I'm not sure how

[2:12] it's

[2:16] or we can do that when we discuss the

[2:19] boom.

[2:21] » Okay.

[2:28] Yep. Go ahead and give us an update on

[2:31] what you all are.

[2:51] should be here.

[3:12] I know they have been busy working

[3:17] a lot. Elizabeth animal control.

[3:33] » I saw that. The one that was left on the

[3:35] side of the road on Titus.

[3:50] Wonderful. That helps quite a bit when

[3:53] Kittin's full and other shelters are

[3:55] full and

[3:55] » Absolutely.

[3:56] » So, yes, doing an excellent job. We

[3:59] appreciate um both the road department

[4:01] and what you are doing very much.

[4:04] Anybody have any questions for

[4:05] Elizabeth?

[4:13] You should have a copy of the June 4th

[4:15] and the June 29th minutes.

[4:30] All right, we're going to hold I will

[4:31] pull if you'll pull these out of your

[4:33] folder. We will do those in August

[4:34] because they did not get listed on the

[4:36] agenda somehow.

[4:38] So if you'll pass those down, I won't

[4:41] have to waste paper and we will use them

[4:44] again.

[4:54] » All right. I make a motion to appoint

[4:56] Britt Hendrickson to the Line County

[4:58] Fire District 2 board for a term

[5:01] expiring June 30th of 2029.

[5:04] And that should actually be 2027,

[5:07] I believe.

[5:10] Uh clerk, I will double check that for

[5:12] you, but I think that's 2027.

[5:21] Second by Master Fowler. Any other

[5:24] questions, concerns?

[5:27] All those in favor? I I oppose. No.

[5:31] Motion carries. Also, clerk, for the

[5:34] record, Master Cumins is absent today.

[5:38] All right. I'm going to skip six and

[5:40] move down to seven. Make a motion to

[5:43] appoint Charles Mackenale to the Line

[5:46] County Fire District One board for a

[5:49] one-year term expiring June 30th of

[5:51] 2027.

[5:55] Second by master Sutton.

[5:59] Any questions, comments, or concerns?

[6:03] All those in favor? I

[6:05] » I oppose. No.

[6:08] Motion carries.

[6:10] All right. You should have a contract

[6:13] along with a resolution.

[6:16] This is for our 2627

[6:20] local assistance uh road funds.

[6:24] Last year, myself and Matt Cartwright

[6:28] went out and we filmed we had to take a

[6:31] picture every 300 ft and I think we

[6:35] submitted 10

[6:37] approximately 10 roads for this funding

[6:40] and two were awarded uh and those would

[6:43] be Canon and Confederate for an amount

[6:45] of $73,100.

[6:48] We do have to do 15%

[6:51] uh and that is in our 2627 budget in the

[6:56] road department. So I will entertain a

[6:59] motion to accept the contract as

[7:01] presented

[7:03] and the approval of resolution 2026-11.

[7:11] Have a motion by M.

[7:14] Second by master

[7:27] office

[7:42] 73,1

[7:52] executive

[7:57] direct.

[8:08] » We will do a roll call vote. Mrick

[8:11] Sudden. Yes.

[8:13] » Master Fowler.

[8:14] » Yes.

[8:15] » Myself. Yes. And Mag Cumins is absent.

[8:19] Motion passes.

[8:27] All right. We are going to skip number

[8:29] nine because that will also be a

[8:31] discussion

[8:37] and move to number 10. So you should

[8:39] have a concurrence for annexation. Uh we

[8:42] have discussed this uh previously as

[8:45] well.

[8:47] And so Papaiz is asking to be annexed

[8:50] within the city limits of Katawa. One I

[8:54] believe for sewer uh and two so that he

[8:57] can make some expansions and upgrades to

[9:00] his facility there. And so in order to

[9:03] do that he um to get the sewer he has to

[9:06] be annexed. And so has drafted such

[9:10] concurrence along with exhibit A

[9:13] and I have no issue with it. The

[9:17] gentleman is doing very well and I would

[9:19] like to see his business expanded and do

[9:22] what he needs to do to

[9:25] continue there. So I will entertain a

[9:28] motion to accept it as presented.

[9:32] Sheriff, if you have anything as well.

[9:51] Motion by Master Fowler and a second by

[9:53] Master Sutton.

[9:56] Any other comments, discussion,

[9:59] questions?

[10:01] All right, we will do a roll call vote.

[10:02] Everyone has to sign as well. Master

[10:06] Sutton,

[10:07] » Yes.

[10:08] » Master Fowler,

[10:09] » Yes.

[10:10] » Myself, yes. And master Cumins is

[10:13] absent.

[10:15] Motion carried.

[10:37] license.

[10:48] Yes.

[10:56] So, I think everything will be just

[10:58] fine.

[10:59] All right. We have no inner fun

[11:02] transfers, but you should have a list of

[11:06] regular transfers.

[11:09] If no one sees any issues with those, I

[11:13] will entertain a motion to accept those

[11:16] as printed.

[11:19] » We have a motion by master Sutton.

[11:23] » Second by Master Fowler. Any other

[11:25] questions, comments, or concerns?

[11:28] All those in favor? I

[11:31] » I oppos? No. Motion carries.

[11:36] All right. You should have your finance

[11:38] officer's report,

[11:42] your treasures report,

[11:48] your fiscal year end there, and

[11:59] all the clerk's report and the sheriff's

[12:04] report.

[12:06] or sheriff, do you have anything to add

[12:09] to

[12:10] yours?

[12:44] We've

[12:49] calendar.

[13:23] If you'll just make me a copy, I'll put

[13:25] it back in. I appreciate it.

[13:30] clerk, you can deem those as received.

[13:36] All right, we're going to do 17 on the

[13:38] claims.

[13:43] All right, I will tell you I am going to

[13:46] reject two claims.

[13:49] Uh, one is to the Kitten County

[13:51] Detention Center.

[13:54] Um, and the amount of

[13:58] 15,000

[14:14] 15,336.

[14:17] So,

[14:20] in talking with the jailer, uh, we

[14:22] noticed that an inmate was on that bill

[14:25] that is actually a state inmate and has

[14:27] been a state inmate since September of

[14:29] 2025

[14:31] and was transferred from Roer

[14:34] Correctional Complex to the Kin County

[14:36] Jail uh back in March and we have been

[14:41] paying for him that inmate

[14:45] since. And so I have added up

[14:56] Yes.

[15:14] » We talked about a couple months ago.

[15:20] I don't think so.

[15:24] » I don't think so. This one was just

[15:26] brought to my attention at the first of

[15:28] this week and I went back and did the

[15:30] research, met with the county attorney.

[15:32] I also received the court orders. Um,

[15:35] talked to the sheriff briefly about it,

[15:38] but I feel that that's an issue between

[15:40] the Kinney County Detention Center and

[15:41] the state. And I mean, that person is a

[15:45] state inmate. They can house state

[15:47] inmates.

[15:58] That's why

[16:25] stop.

[16:37] I think that's what I found out.

[17:02] That's correct.

[17:16] still

[17:39] » I just I don't

[17:42] second

[17:48] I was shocked to see

[17:50] that person

[17:54] after that only

[18:04] come back

[18:09] understand that

[18:12] that

[18:29] I don't feel like it's our

[18:30] responsibility and I'm not

[18:32] » I'm not gonna

[18:39] I mean, we're talking about $4,000

[18:42] or $4,32.

[18:44] And, you know, that could be a third of

[18:48] what we pay monthly on a $15,000 bill.

[18:56] » Usually,

[18:58] » Keep up this. I mean,

[19:00] » That's the jailer.

[19:03] And I think he had asked prior to and

[19:05] kind of got the same thing that maybe

[19:07] this the state would not pay for it. But

[19:09] when he brought it to my attention and I

[19:11] looked into it, I feel that he's a state

[19:14] inmate. I respect that he can't stay

[19:17] there, but

[19:19] they can still house state inmates. They

[19:21] can pay that bill.

[19:25] » Absolutely.

[19:30] I'm I'm going to and I've reached out to

[19:32] the Commonwealth attorney and she has

[19:34] said she will do whatever is necessary

[19:36] to make sure we don't have to pay this.

[19:40] » I agree with you.

[19:48] » I haven't been able to speak with the

[19:50] jailer in Kitten or their billing

[19:52] because they are out.

[19:54] » Yep.

[19:57] uh they have been out this week. So

[20:09] » My recommendation will be to reduce this

[20:12] payment the 15,000 and some change by

[20:14] $4,32

[20:16] and then we can fight it out with the

[20:18] state later.

[20:33] Uh I do get the bill uh in all of their

[20:37] transport orders or when they transport

[20:40] an inmate.

[20:42] office.

[20:55] » But I mean like

[21:11] No, you should have the vendor claims.

[21:15] » Yep, that's a total from the previous

[21:19] » And then the second claim is a it should

[21:22] be the very last one.

[21:56] It does. It's not

[22:07] MCO. Yeah, I I'm not sure if you all

[22:09] have the updated vendor registration. I

[22:12] don't with Christa being out for her

[22:15] procedure um and she worked remotely on

[22:20] uh Wednesday and today

[22:23] but there is a check that has been

[22:24] printed by the treasurer

[22:27] to Merkco

[22:30] for the cooling tower in amount of

[22:34] $1,9650.

[22:40] And so the cooling tower. Just to give

[22:42] you a brief update on this, um, is

[22:46] falling apart. We are having to make

[22:48] multiple repairs here recently and they

[22:51] had to come out and fix a selenoid,

[22:55] which the bill ended up being, 19650.

[22:59] Well, it's still not allowing water to

[23:02] enter the cooling tower. And so when we

[23:05] called them back out yesterday to tell

[23:07] them, hey, this isn't working, we found

[23:10] out that that selenoid is for a gas

[23:13] line, not a water line. And so I

[23:16] immediately called the owner of Mero uh

[23:18] and expressed my displeasure uh and that

[23:21] it needed to be fixed and corrected. And

[23:24] so

[23:26] again, I'm rejecting this bill until it

[23:28] is fixed and corrected uh to Merco for

[23:31] $1,96.50.

[23:34] Uh and they are working on fixing that.

[23:38] And then on top of that today, um the

[23:42] tank in the cooling tower sprung a leak

[23:45] and so all the water that's going into

[23:48] the tower is basically running out the

[23:49] bottom of the tank.

[23:53] So, we will see.

[23:55] » $1,96.50.

[24:00] » I don't think you have the updated claim

[24:02] register.

[24:04] I will have to u check on that first

[24:07] thing in the morning, but it's in the

[24:08] checks,

[24:18] but those are the only two that I do not

[24:21] uh approve for payment.

[24:28] And we will need

[24:30] a vote to reject those.

[24:44] $32.

[24:49] » We have a motion and a second to approve

[24:53] the claims minus the Merco $1,96.50

[24:58] invoice and the Kittin County detention

[25:01] facility less $4,032.

[25:04] Any other comments, questions, or

[25:06] concerns?

[25:08] All those in favor? I I oppos. No.

[25:13] Motion carries. And again, clerk Mrick

[25:16] Cummings is absent.

[25:20] All right. We are going to go back to

[25:21] item number nine, the boom mower

[25:23] discussion. Um, you all should have a

[25:27] copy of a estimate from CMI

[25:31] for a new boom mower. And then just one

[25:33] from John Deere.

[25:36] And I'm actually gonna let Matt and Mark

[25:39] um come,

[25:41] [cough]

[25:42] excuse me, and talk to you all about

[25:45] this CMI boom mower. And so, um they can

[25:51] tell you our boom mower is on its last

[25:53] leg. Uh we just welded the deck again,

[25:59] um and just fixed the air conditioning

[26:02] in the tractor.

[26:04] And they can will tell you about how um

[26:09] it is to boomo in that piece of

[26:11] equipment versus the potential of the

[26:14] CMI piece of equipment. And they went to

[26:18] Taylor County and operated the CMI

[26:22] equipment. You should have some pictures

[26:24] there as well.

[26:26] And that piece of equipment can do so

[26:28] much more than a tractor and just a boom

[26:32] uh mower. And so guys, I

[26:35] You all address the court of what you

[26:37] thought and

[27:10] A greater blade.

[27:36] So, is what Mark was saying is once you

[27:38] put the boom on the tractor, you cannot

[27:41] add anything else to the tractor. It can

[27:43] only be used as a boom mower. And so on

[27:47] top of that, the tractor, and excuse my

[27:50] demonstration, I'm not the best here,

[27:52] but you're going down the road and your

[27:54] boom's to your right. And so you're

[27:58] having to look this way or look, try to

[28:01] turn your head and look up to see what

[28:02] you're cutting. Is that correct?

[28:05] The mantis,

[28:08] if the if the boom is to the right, the

[28:10] whole thing turns. And so now they're

[28:13] facing what they're mowing and it side

[28:16] steps or it rolls this way, but you're

[28:19] facing what you're mowing. And so they

[28:22] can see safety. Um,

[29:13] Man, it's the boom.

[29:23] 21 to 24.

[29:35] » Does that extend with it? Does it come

[29:37] standard with that?

[30:03] doesn't break away.

[30:06] As you all will see, um,

[30:09] you know, the the tractor

[30:12] and the the boom mower,

[30:16] um, is about $220,000.

[30:20] The Mantis is right around 265. So, it's

[30:23] about $45,000 more, but it can be used

[30:28] for so much more. It can be used year

[30:31] round because you're only boom mowing

[30:33] when the leaves are on. You're cutting

[30:35] when the leaves are off. Correct.

[30:38] » Okay.

[30:48] » Marky also went with them. They got to

[30:51] drive it. They got to cut with it. They

[30:53] got to operate with it.

[30:57] And so it would be their recommendation

[31:00] to go with the Mantis. The Mantis can be

[31:04] purchased on

[31:05] We are a member. It's similar to the

[31:07] state price contract. Um my

[31:10] recommendation at the moment will be to

[31:14] um we do not have our flex fund amount

[31:16] yet from the state and we do not have

[31:19] our rural secondary amount yet from the

[31:21] state and I would really like to see

[31:23] those two amounts um before we approve.

[31:27] Now they do have the funds in their

[31:29] account to purchase it if we so choose

[31:31] to purchase it today. But that's a

[31:35] discussion point I feel that we need to

[31:37] talk about as well because

[31:39] » What's the warranty

[31:54] include everything?

[32:12] So I I talked to the salesman when I was

[32:14] doing conference. He's at what county he

[32:18] » Taylor

[32:20] is. So to be serviced, will they come

[32:23] here to service it or will we have to

[32:26] I don't think they ever

[33:03] Everybody.

[33:19] And this one's been around for 10 years,

[33:22] so you would think in theory kinks and

[33:26] different things have been worked out.

[33:31] » My my only other question We have a

[33:33] problem with it. Will we have to take it

[33:35] to room or will they come down here?

[34:01] There's one in I knew there was one in

[34:02] Tennessee.

[34:05] » Okay.

[34:06] » So, this guy I talked to, he said he

[34:08] only had four left, I think, at this

[34:10] price.

[34:19] at this same price.

[34:25] » Yeah,

[34:27] » He sold one last week to

[34:31] » Another county.

[34:34] » Yeah, that's I think the one they bought

[34:35] last week.

[34:37] I mean, but it's

[34:40] they have the funds. Um

[34:44] But it's again, we don't have our flex

[34:46] funds for paving and we don't have the

[34:48] rule secondary amount. Um, but I want to

[34:52] present it to you all because and the

[34:55] other thing is we'll more than likely

[34:56] potentially I know Jason's not here.

[34:58] He's on vacation. Mark Vassy's wife was

[35:01] transported to the hospital today. So,

[35:03] he's not able to be with us tonight. Um,

[35:06] but as far as I know, I think we're

[35:08] keeping the other boom mower tractor so

[35:11] we could potentially have

[35:13] two going at the same time

[35:17] or if we have to use that one for the

[35:19] grapple purposes or something else, you

[35:21] still have a boom mower going if that

[35:27] we were hoping by the middle of this

[35:30] month, but I will tell you if I don't

[35:32] hear by the end of July, I think we need

[35:35] to make a decision. I can't tell you

[35:37] what KYTC is.

[35:43] Yes.

[35:49] And so it's again there source well

[35:51] similar to state price contract. We are

[35:54] a member of source well. So

[35:58] it does not have to be.

[36:11] Other questions have

[36:43] about $800, I believe.

[36:57] » Well, a prime example too to potentially

[37:00] have to even though it wasn't the boom

[37:02] mower, the state is extremely busy

[37:04] because they're short staffed. They're

[37:06] not doing contracting on their mowing.

[37:08] So they're having to mow all of their

[37:10] state roads in their respective

[37:12] counties. And so line living and are

[37:15] working together and the state's

[37:17] currently mowing in Livingston and we

[37:19] had an issue at 641 and Breezy Loop. And

[37:22] so one of our bat wings got it today.

[37:28] We

[37:29] help them because you couldn't see

[37:31] pulling out on 641 from Breezy.

[37:46] questions.

[37:55] » And I think this is something you all

[37:57] would really like to have for safety and

[38:00] just the multiuse.

[38:06] use it for other things.

[38:18] » So that arm will bother you.

[38:42] I assume they had come off.

[39:15] How many hours?

[39:22] » Over 8,000.

[39:39] I mean, I guess we could

[39:42] potentially make a motion

[39:46] by June or July 31st.

[40:02] I mean, they're they're really not. The

[40:05] flex funds is what we use to resurface

[40:09] um our roadways. We usually get about

[40:12] 200,000 to resurface. And see, the only

[40:15] thing is if that is cut, then there's a

[40:18] potential to move money out of another

[40:20] line item. if we choose to pave

[40:24] everything that's currently on our list.

[40:27] So what's currently on our list is about

[40:28] 222,000

[40:31] and so we were already going to pay

[40:32] about 20,000 more than what we usually

[40:34] get. And so if we don't get that full

[40:36] amount uh or any reduction then we would

[40:40] obviously have to pay more out of our

[40:43] road line or potentially move it from

[40:45] the road.

[40:59] any scenario.

[41:09] » No,

[41:11] they have done really well with their

[41:13] budgeting. Jason has done an excellent

[41:16] job on watching fuel, tires, all of I

[41:20] mean they do a lot of the maintenance.

[41:21] Um

[41:23] I don't know if if you go out to the

[41:25] convenience center and all the concrete

[41:27] Mark Lewis um along with the others, but

[41:30] that man right there knows how to frame

[41:31] up concrete and put the rebarb in it.

[41:34] and we

[41:37] [snorts]

[41:40] » Uh you know doing a lot of that work in

[41:43] house uh and they have been very frugal

[41:46] with their money. Um

[41:49] you know and I guess my only other

[41:51] concern looking long uh range is the

[41:56] potential of that county road aid being

[41:58] cut again next year. If you recall we

[42:02] were cut 2 18,000 in the 2526 fiscal

[42:07] year. Cut 175,000

[42:10] in the current fiscal year 2627

[42:14] and not sure what next year 2728 would

[42:19] be. But again, that's also based on the

[42:22] actual

[42:24] gas tax receipts and they were less than

[42:27] what they anticipated.

[42:33] What would if y'all we get this? What

[42:35] would be your first attachment?

[42:38] Money money came available.

[42:41] I think a grapple. We've never had a

[42:44] grapple.

[42:50] » I think a grapple would be tremendous.

[42:58] I don't know how we really not done

[43:00] without a gra all this time to be honest

[43:02] with you.

[43:08] » I'd love to have one myself. I don't

[43:11] have

[43:30] I don't think so. I don't know if we

[43:32] could potentially do that.

[43:39] » Yeah. So, what I was discussing with the

[43:41] judge is what contingencies.

[43:51] And what I'm hear

[44:16] is going to be able to be purchased at

[44:19] this price by our August

[44:26] He just told me when I talked to him at

[44:28] that time they were gone

[44:36] understand

[44:48] » That's the way

[45:09] this $8,000.

[45:16] » Yes. than it was like on the state price

[45:18] contract.

[45:34] I think

[45:39] we'll give him

[45:41] hopefully a few minutes to potentially

[45:43] respond. And so we will go ahead and

[45:46] move to item number six while we're

[45:49] waiting on the salesman to potentially

[45:52] answer our questions.

[45:56] All right. So it was uh in regards to a

[46:00] moratorum on data centers

[46:04] uh and the elected officials met

[46:07] yesterday with our KO attorney Mr.

[46:12] This was discussed and I will

[46:17] defer.

[46:24] So we saw examples

[46:32] that has been several counties

[46:48] afford the county more and more time

[46:53] effects.

[46:54] We discussed a wide range of issues,

[46:58] utilities,

[47:00] noise, just a number of different

[47:03] factors that could affect the county's

[47:05] decision to

[47:08] legislator

[47:18] on data centers. You all just give me

[47:21] guidance and a couple I might suggest I

[47:24] would look at a time period of one year

[47:27] or less

[47:29] county

[47:31] investigation and also data center

[47:38] but more than that I would consider

[47:40] establishing a committee

[47:43] of business

[47:47] with experience in both land use and

[47:49] utilities to look at this issue.

[48:02] Well, I would like that. I guess I'm the

[48:05] one who started all this because I was

[48:07] hearing all this stuff was at the

[48:10] conference.

[48:12] I felt like we were blindsided by solar

[48:16] panels and uh we did not have any idea

[48:19] those were coming and we got blindsided

[48:21] and we did not have anything in place to

[48:23] prevent it.

[48:26] I don't think we're being blindsided by

[48:29] data because we hear it all the time and

[48:31] so I think we in my opinion we would be

[48:34] negligent not to try to look at

[48:37] something to at least put something in

[48:39] place for temporary stop until we get

[48:42] more information

[48:44] better in this. So that's the reason why

[48:49] I ask that we look at a moratorum I

[48:52] would say for year establish.

[49:05] So u I just don't want something coming

[49:09] into our community that potentially do

[49:11] not belong and I have studied this have

[49:15] something

[49:18] » I have to agree I have some bad taste in

[49:20] my mouth mouth

[49:22] » Solar

[49:22] » Solar panels so I can see this being the

[49:24] same issue

[49:26] » I have to agree with magistrate Sutton

[49:29] as well um to at least give us the time

[49:32] and the opportunity to study it. I can

[49:34] tell you currently for a 2025

[49:37] Delta Regional Authority grant that Um I

[49:42] see out and the county was awarded to do

[49:44] an actual water study. Want to see what

[49:46] our current capacity is, what our max

[49:48] capacity is. Uh and I do not believe I

[49:52] will confirm with the engineers that

[49:54] even the potential of a data center

[49:56] being factored into that study. And so

[49:59] that's one utility there. And then

[50:01] looking at the electrical side of it as

[50:04] well and the land use.

[50:07] So I think that is that we do need to

[50:10] look at and to be able to have all that

[50:12] information and present it in the best

[50:16] actual way that we can.

[50:24] I will have your next meeting

[50:37] back to the boom.

[50:45] Okay.

[50:49] » And Nelson got one today.

[50:51] » Okay. Give me give me one moment to go

[50:54] pull the budget because I want to give

[50:55] you all factual figures.

[51:12] » Wow.

[51:15] on the

[51:17] last

[51:40] check out. What else? What else?

[52:02] And so the first day opens

[52:21] true story.

[52:27] » [laughter]

[52:29] » That is true. Paul told me that story.

[52:37] » I love the popcorn. I don't go in there.

[52:39] I don't get it.

[53:18] All right. So, they do have the funds.

[53:23] Um, the one thing that he also mentioned

[53:25] was you could potentially do the

[53:29] loan where you wouldn't have to make the

[53:31] first payment till July of one of 2027

[53:36] and then

[53:37] We didn't really discuss paying it

[53:39] outright, but I've also reached out to

[53:42] um a local bank here and I can get the

[53:44] same deal with a local bank here versus

[53:56] » Yes. But I do also know that we will

[54:00] have to have a budget amendment as well

[54:01] for their actual carryover.

[54:06] There's something

[54:23] we didn't have money

[54:26] for cash.

[54:29] » It was 4.99

[54:32] for five years.

[54:35] penalty to pay off.

[54:36] » No penalty.

[54:40] » This is my opinion. I'm not making a

[54:41] motion. I'm talking loud. I think

[54:44] we have an option

[54:49] » Until the budget amendment to the

[54:50] carryover is put in.

[54:54] We could

[55:00] » Authorization of the judge executive to

[55:02] make the purchase and present Either

[55:17] either way

[55:22] the judge executive accomplish purchase.

[55:45] I can tell you

[56:01] I was going to say

[56:04] versus

[56:31] a motion and a second.

[56:35] said motion was to authorize the judge

[56:37] executive to make the purchase one

[56:40] either with the potential finance option

[56:43] or to pay out

[56:49] any other discussion comments or

[56:51] questions

[56:55] all those in favor I I no

[57:01] motion carries

[57:03] I will get

[57:13] » I we'll just tell him I can communicate

[57:16] with them tomorrow.

[57:20] » All right. So, we had some visitors come

[57:22] in and we'd already done visitor

[57:23] comments. Do you all have anything that

[57:25] you

[57:26] » Yes. Last say if he wanted he had his

[57:29] cataract surgery today. So, I just

[57:31] wanted to see if you had anything.

[57:35] [laughter]

[57:40] » We've already approved you. I'm so

[57:42] sorry.

[57:46] [laughter]

[57:47] » Well, it was at 5, but I knew he said he

[57:50] had his eye surgery today. So, I just

[57:52] wanted to make sure you didn't have

[57:53] anything you wanted to address or

[57:56] » No, you're good.

[57:59] » Yes.

[58:04] Um, if you'll get after this, as soon as

[58:06] we adjourn, if you'll give me like five

[58:08] minutes, I'll swear you in and then

[58:10] you'll be good to go.

[58:13] All right, magistrates, do you all have

[58:15] anything else

[58:17] here from the magistrates?

[58:26] You got anything else? Anything else?

[58:30] I do believe that he

[58:34] inter

[58:54] Holiday

[59:07] working.

[59:30] They're about

[59:43] » Yes, I will communicate with him

[59:45] tomorrow regarding the purchase.

[59:52] I see no other business comments or

[59:54] concerns. I will make a motion to

[59:59] » Move.

[1:00:03] » Can we take that as a second? I made the

[1:00:05] motion.

[1:00:05] » Made motion. Sorry. [laughter]

[1:00:14] » All in favor.

[1:00:23] I'm

[1:00:34] I don't know this guy, but I take him on

[1:00:36] his
