[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
