1
00:00:01,100 --> 00:00:03,500
Let's all stand for the flag salute.

2
00:00:08,290 --> 00:00:19,990
Let the allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all.

3
00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:25,540
Good morning, everyone. Good morning.

4
00:00:28,090 --> 00:00:39,030
We did have one addition to the agenda, and that was notice of intent to the county clerk.

5
00:00:39,030 --> 00:00:52,390
work and this is on the 2027 proposed property tax. So the chairman will have to sign this

6
00:00:52,390 --> 00:00:55,930
so we'll have to have that. Mr. Chairman, I move that we've approved the

7
00:00:55,930 --> 00:01:01,410
agenda dated July 20 as amended. Second. All in favor say aye. Aye.

8
00:01:01,410 --> 00:01:01,530
Okay.

9
00:01:01,530 --> 00:01:01,690
Aye.

10
00:01:01,950 --> 00:01:02,590
Motion carries.

11
00:01:03,970 --> 00:01:04,370
Okay.

12
00:01:04,550 --> 00:01:05,030
Public again.

13
00:01:05,150 --> 00:01:05,610
Jerry.

14
00:01:08,940 --> 00:01:09,880
All right.

15
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:10,540
Good morning, guys.

16
00:01:11,020 --> 00:01:11,420
Good morning.

17
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:13,280
Start out with the jail count.

18
00:01:13,960 --> 00:01:16,000
Uh, jail count is at 47.

19
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:18,500
Number of males is 42.

20
00:01:19,180 --> 00:01:20,780
Current number of females is 5.

21
00:01:21,780 --> 00:01:24,300
Current number of being held for district court is 43.

22
00:01:25,060 --> 00:01:27,500
Current number of being held for minutes for court is 4.

23
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:30,720
We had 17 arrests for the week.

24
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:34,860
and we had right now we have one juvenile being housed at this time.

25
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:39,420
I've had one

26
00:01:39,420 --> 00:01:44,200
deputy attorney as two-week resignation. It's been a good deputy for about

27
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:48,560
three years. He's going to work for Lindsburg Police Department so we'll be

28
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:56,020
looking for a deputy sheriff on the roadside. Kent rodeo. We're kept as very busy

29
00:01:56,020 --> 00:02:01,880
this weekend. We had reported three fights, one sexual battery, two suspicious

30
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:07,320
persons complaints. Over the weekend we had one DUI with crash with injuries, two

31
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:12,200
other injury crashes, and several driving complaints, and the officers also did

32
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:18,760
some step, a step enforcement for traffic also this weekend was completed. So it was

33
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:19,840
busy weekend for the guys.

34
00:02:22,340 --> 00:02:25,840
Horses, my horses, month of June we did get the

35
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:27,660
bill. This was given to me by the

36
00:02:27,660 --> 00:02:29,900
undershare but it's $600 what we pay

37
00:02:29,900 --> 00:02:32,640
for the horses plus $380 for the vet.

38
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,500
So it'll be $980 for the total.

39
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:42,060
And for juveniles, we had a juvenile

40
00:02:42,060 --> 00:02:44,780
bill in the month of June. Hold on

41
00:02:44,780 --> 00:02:49,240
$6,835.53. And that is one of

42
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:50,380
the we have in custody but this

43
00:02:50,380 --> 00:02:52,200
includes two to three at least

44
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,080
maybe three or more juveniles that

45
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:55,400
we brought in and out of custody.

46
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:57,660
and how to be transported brought back and everything.

47
00:02:58,080 --> 00:02:59,500
So that all comes into that.

48
00:03:00,500 --> 00:03:02,580
So yes, that's a hefty bill.

49
00:03:03,100 --> 00:03:05,260
So at this time, we only have one juvenile.

50
00:03:05,540 --> 00:03:07,280
One in our custody system.

51
00:03:09,510 --> 00:03:10,670
Pray that it goes down.

52
00:03:11,770 --> 00:03:13,030
Oh, that's all I got.

53
00:03:13,710 --> 00:03:14,550
Thank you, Jerry.

54
00:03:14,690 --> 00:03:14,970
Thanks, Jerry.

55
00:03:15,070 --> 00:03:15,530
Thank you, guys.

56
00:03:17,410 --> 00:03:18,970
Anyone else, public input?

57
00:03:20,530 --> 00:03:20,810
John.

58
00:03:23,690 --> 00:03:24,450
Good morning.

59
00:03:24,590 --> 00:03:25,930
I just wanted to update you.

60
00:03:25,930 --> 00:03:33,990
I went to the Sedwick County work session with the county commissioners met with commissioners,

61
00:03:34,190 --> 00:03:43,950
Beatty and Y, along with their staff in regards to the request bed, GMD2, water level issues.

62
00:03:45,030 --> 00:03:51,570
And they are going to follow up with the state office as well as GMD2 and they are looking forward to

63
00:03:51,570 --> 00:03:57,970
getting back to us and including us in any future conversation. And they thanked us for bringing

64
00:03:57,970 --> 00:04:07,030
it to their attention. Yes, I had an email from Commissioner Betty. Betty. Yes, and he was very

65
00:04:07,030 --> 00:04:11,630
thankful for what you had brought there. So thank you very much, John. Okay. Thanks, John. You're

66
00:04:11,630 --> 00:04:12,250
about good work.

67
00:04:15,060 --> 00:04:16,420
Anyone else, public input?

68
00:04:23,830 --> 00:04:26,610
If not, let's go ahead and approve the minutes from last

69
00:04:26,610 --> 00:04:26,970
last week.

70
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:40,740
Did she have corrected? Yeah, she did. And then had to add some things I didn't

71
00:04:40,740 --> 00:04:45,460
wasn't aware that you were attempting to do. You want to take a look and just quickly?

72
00:04:45,780 --> 00:04:48,980
Yeah. I already got to see him. They look fine. And Mr.

73
00:05:03,090 --> 00:05:04,910
Chairman, I move that we proved the

Okay, we have Sheriff Monten.

77
00:05:48,810 --> 00:06:05,290
Arlo. Switch now against. Good morning, morning, morning, I got a couple of inventors to present here. The first one's on Joseph Merino, gentleman that just finished the six months on evening shift, first six months with this.

78
00:06:06,410 --> 00:06:10,630
Satisfactually, so we'd like to move request to move him from a 14 a to a 14 V.

79
00:06:10,630 --> 00:06:15,200
Any questions?

80
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:23,200
I'll move that we approve the PCN for Joseph Moreno Effective July 5th.

81
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:24,900
Seconded.

82
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:26,480
I'll favor say aye.

83
00:06:26,860 --> 00:06:27,100
Aye.

84
00:06:27,300 --> 00:06:28,340
I'm most curious.

85
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:29,480
Thank you.

86
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:31,860
Second one's on Jason Leiker.

87
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:37,460
His move to sergeant of the transport side of things.

88
00:06:38,100 --> 00:06:44,240
moving him from with your approval from a 16F to a 16G for his end of

89
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:45,640
intro introduction.

90
00:06:49,180 --> 00:06:52,480
Both of these seem to have really good reviews. Yes.

91
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:59,600
Mr. Chairman, I move that we approve the PC and for Jason Liker, effective July 19th.

92
00:07:00,340 --> 00:07:10,280
Seconded. All in favor say aye. Aye. Aye. Motion carries. Thank you very much.

93
00:07:24,550 --> 00:07:27,130
This is both HAW, Helping Quarps Project Engineer.

94
00:07:29,850 --> 00:07:30,190
Good morning.

95
00:07:32,310 --> 00:07:33,170
All right.

96
00:07:33,670 --> 00:07:38,530
Today I have a change order for milling on Fifth Avenue.

97
00:07:39,150 --> 00:07:45,150
This change order comes about because the original scope of this project was just to do the 22 foot lane.

98
00:07:45,930 --> 00:07:49,610
But we decided to go ahead and widen first and then mill second.

99
00:07:50,330 --> 00:07:54,970
So that means we're milling about a 26 to 27 foot lane.

100
00:07:55,530 --> 00:07:58,010
So, therefore, there's additional cost.

101
00:07:58,230 --> 00:08:01,270
The reason we wanted to change it, we think it's going to give us a better product.

102
00:08:01,470 --> 00:08:04,930
So, we're going to try it out and see if this does better than 27th or not.

103
00:08:05,970 --> 00:08:12,690
So, with that, that change order amounts to $26,841 and 84 cents.

104
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:17,680
Any questions?

105
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:20,660
No, that we discussed this at the work session.

106
00:08:20,860 --> 00:08:21,140
We did.

107
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:21,960
Yes, we did.

108
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:32,980
Mr. Chairman, I move that we approve the request to pay the additional $26,841.84 to Webber Road Solutions LLC

109
00:08:32,980 --> 00:08:39,960
for mobilization, freight traffic control, and milling on the widening of Fifth Avenue, which is

110
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:49,220
CR447. Second. All in favor say aye. Aye. Motion carries. So how soon are they ready to start?

111
00:08:49,220 --> 00:08:53,860
That work should start milling over there August 3rd.

112
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:54,640
August 3rd.

113
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:58,980
So we should finish up overlaying 448.

114
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:00,880
The end of next week.

115
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:04,800
Then they'll have a little bit of time while they wait for that milling to get done.

116
00:09:04,940 --> 00:09:06,680
We're going to do some chips dealing around the county.

117
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:11,460
And then we'll get over there and start overlaying.

118
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:16,140
The other change in our schedule has been the decor that was supposed to be this week.

119
00:09:16,140 --> 00:09:19,900
has now been moved in next week just due to scheduling with a contractor.

120
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:22,900
Thank you, Lesbine.

121
00:09:26,250 --> 00:09:30,470
Okay, let's go ahead and approve checks, claims, and payroll.

122
00:09:31,570 --> 00:09:33,230
I think we had jury checks.

123
00:09:33,850 --> 00:09:35,730
I hope there was something else on there too.

124
00:09:38,700 --> 00:09:39,400
Quick, some witness.

125
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:42,360
Witness checks.

126
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:57,060
I had some questions on checks, but I'll go ahead if you guys have something first.

127
00:09:57,060 --> 00:09:58,040
on

128
00:10:01,530 --> 00:10:13,190
a hammocky electric page two annual I have so when they ask renewal

129
00:10:13,190 --> 00:10:19,970
card readers is that it's your batch that's your batch to get you in both

130
00:10:19,970 --> 00:10:26,110
building this so does this include just a courthouse review no it should include

131
00:10:26,110 --> 00:10:26,770
We both of them.

132
00:10:26,950 --> 00:10:27,490
Both of them.

133
00:10:27,750 --> 00:10:28,010
Okay.

134
00:10:33,220 --> 00:10:33,340
Okay.

135
00:10:34,740 --> 00:10:35,640
You know what I mean?

136
00:10:36,100 --> 00:10:36,720
Condi, Gary.

137
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:37,540
Oh, glad, Chairman.

138
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:39,480
Okay.

139
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:41,180
This is very manic.

140
00:10:41,580 --> 00:10:42,780
But page seven,

141
00:10:47,170 --> 00:10:49,270
I noticed we bought a doorbell.

142
00:10:49,590 --> 00:10:50,530
Where do we,

143
00:10:52,510 --> 00:10:54,430
some of the offices can't see

144
00:10:54,430 --> 00:10:56,210
no when someone's outside

145
00:10:56,210 --> 00:10:57,330
and they don't have a,

146
00:10:57,490 --> 00:11:00,190
they don't have a card to get in.

147
00:11:00,410 --> 00:11:01,730
The offices are all locked up

148
00:11:01,730 --> 00:11:02,830
so they put a doorbell

149
00:11:02,830 --> 00:11:08,810
so they can they just they were you didn't have your card and you wanted to go into planning zoning

150
00:11:08,810 --> 00:11:12,650
if you wanted to go in and what's the other one appraisers somewhere there's several of them

151
00:11:12,650 --> 00:11:18,310
that just put a doorbell on because you got no access to the rooms it was only $26 but I just

152
00:11:18,310 --> 00:11:22,450
wondered why yeah and that's what it's for you have no access to their rooms on

153
00:11:26,030 --> 00:11:27,990
page 10 we had a

154
00:11:27,990 --> 00:11:32,190
major, always a postage by phone, $14,000.

155
00:11:32,550 --> 00:11:39,470
We put posties by the phone and then they, when they moved it over here, they adjusted

156
00:11:39,470 --> 00:11:39,750
it.

157
00:11:39,950 --> 00:11:44,190
I don't know if we got a credit back or what, but anyway, we put a lot of money in there.

158
00:11:45,070 --> 00:11:52,830
You can see maybe some of them paid to the extra treasure, no clerk and election.

159
00:11:52,830 --> 00:11:57,550
they had some, when you get into their departments,

160
00:11:57,750 --> 00:11:59,630
you can see they spend a lot of money on postage.

161
00:12:04,380 --> 00:12:07,820
Yeah, and I think we already mentioned page 14.

162
00:12:08,180 --> 00:12:11,780
We had the horses, that expense,

163
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:16,400
but we already talked about them, that's all I had.

164
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:27,080
You had your big bill for your grade, I mean, your entry view.

165
00:12:27,560 --> 00:12:28,300
Or what?

166
00:12:28,740 --> 00:12:29,180
Entry view.

167
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:29,680
Yeah.

168
00:12:29,680 --> 00:12:33,300
But now they have to go get it.

169
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:36,820
I'm not sure what that'll cost to bring this thing back to the person.

170
00:12:37,500 --> 00:12:38,980
Where's that coming from, Red?

171
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:40,660
Back east, somewhere.

172
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:42,020
Okay,

173
00:12:46,860 --> 00:12:55,120
well, if there's no more questions, I'll entertain a motion, witness checks, and jury checks also.

174
00:12:56,260 --> 00:13:03,780
Mr. Chairman, I move that we approve the council's payable payroll, juror checks, and witness checks as presented.

175
00:13:03,780 --> 00:13:08,900
second. All in favor say aye. Aye. Aye. Most carries.

176
00:13:52,350 --> 00:13:52,910
I'll

177
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:56,260
double check your work.

178
00:15:24,020 --> 00:15:32,200
Okay, we did have some ads and abates. So let's check those out.

179
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:36,860
We had all abates, I believe. Yes, probably what they want.

180
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:52,460
Any questions?

181
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:58,540
I'm determined that we approve the abates as presented. I'll second the motion.

182
00:15:59,220 --> 00:16:00,960
All in favor say aye. Aye.

183
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:02,160
by motion carries.

184
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:15,400
You didn't have anything on personnel. Did you have enough care?

185
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:23,760
You want to read this from motion? Yeah, I've got this one here. I can use. Okay.

186
00:16:25,380 --> 00:16:26,500
Mr. Chairman,

187
00:16:29,500 --> 00:16:34,700
the governing body of McPherson County hereby notifies the McPherson County clerk

188
00:16:35,470 --> 00:16:42,660
of an intent to not exceed the revenue neutral rate and will submit our budget to the county clerk

189
00:16:42,660 --> 00:16:54,660
on before October 1st, 2026, our 2025 property tax rate last year was 31.886

190
00:16:55,200 --> 00:17:05,140
mills and we're proposing in 2026 property tax rate to drop to 30.869

191
00:17:05,140 --> 00:17:08,200
mills, a reduction of 1 mill.

192
00:17:11,380 --> 00:17:13,600
And you want the chairman to sign that?

193
00:17:13,860 --> 00:17:18,220
Yeah, I would move that the chairman would sign the document as presented.

194
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:19,540
We have a session.

195
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:21,300
All the favourites say aye.

196
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:22,120
Aye.

197
00:17:22,220 --> 00:17:22,320
Aye.

198
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:23,220
Most carries.

199
00:17:35,900 --> 00:17:42,620
I think a lot of hard work has been put into this and I appreciate what Rick, all the

200
00:17:42,620 --> 00:17:43,980
work he's put into this.

201
00:17:45,360 --> 00:17:51,180
And the good thing is I think we can keep our services as they have been in the past and

202
00:17:51,180 --> 00:17:57,180
the old dropper male levy one male so thank you Rick. I would say also in

203
00:17:57,180 --> 00:18:02,780
earth inflation every year so this is actually what we're we're taking on

204
00:18:02,780 --> 00:18:07,520
inflation we're still able to drop the male levy a whole male that's amazing

205
00:18:09,140 --> 00:18:12,280
department's good job it's a mini budget issue.

206
00:18:16,950 --> 00:18:18,590
Yeah is there anything else?

207
00:18:21,970 --> 00:18:22,170
If

208
00:18:22,170 --> 00:18:26,950
not then well I don't know how many of us are going to the Republican party

209
00:18:27,970 --> 00:18:35,370
tomorrow night. We should probably recess to that because I potentially will be able to attend.

210
00:18:36,150 --> 00:18:40,950
Okay. Do we know the time and location? 30, wasn't it?

211
00:18:43,290 --> 00:18:45,690
6.30, add, do you know where that's looking?

212
00:18:45,870 --> 00:18:49,390
The first and seniors center, I believe.

213
00:18:49,390 --> 00:18:49,510
Thank you.

214
00:18:52,790 --> 00:18:56,590
McPherson County GOP meeting, quarterly meeting.

215
00:18:56,970 --> 00:19:04,790
Yeah, 630 at the Republic, at the senior center, 112 ECU good in McPherson at the senior

216
00:19:04,790 --> 00:19:05,250
center.

217
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:14,620
Okay, Mr. Chairman, I move that we would recess to 630 at the McPherson County GOP quarterly

218
00:19:14,620 --> 00:19:17,580
meeting, which will be held at the senior center in McPherson.

219
00:19:18,740 --> 00:19:19,460
