Moving the accounts payable to under item 11. 9 00:07:44,639 --> 00:07:52,160 » Second. >> Motion made and seconded to approve the 10 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:56,479 consent agenda is moving the accounts payable to number 11 00:07:54,800 --> 00:08:03,919 11 due to some software problems yet. So 12 00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:08,000 we're working on it. The thought consent agenda also consists of the 13 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:12,479 permit report, jail report, reporters report, 14 00:08:11,255 --> 00:08:21,120 [clears throat] minutes from September 1, 2026 board of supervisors meeting, 15 00:08:16,479 --> 00:08:26,240 and a fireworks permit for I29 Speedway 191933 16 00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:31,199 Jessup Avenue, Pacific Junction on September 26, 17 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:33,839 year of 2026. That's a wrong address. 18 00:08:32,560 --> 00:08:36,640 » Oh, what's the address? I'm sorry. >> 19340. 19 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:39,440 » 1 19340. >> Yep. 20 00:08:37,039 --> 00:08:42,919 » Okay. >> Wait, that correction. 21 00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:48,120 » There's still Jessup, right? >> Yeah. 22 00:08:50,560 --> 00:08:59,760 » Any questions? Anyone else have any corrections we need? 23 00:08:55,680 --> 00:09:05,600 » All those in favor? I >> move and carry. 24 00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:11,480 We have no new liquor license at this time. 25 00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:11,480 We're now up to public comment. 26 00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:22,519 » Uh morning, Henry Clark, Glennwood, Iowa. Have a quick brief discussion on 27 00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:22,519 Glenwood Hospital. 28 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:35,519 And what I'm proposing is for the sale of it. Uh it's item 17. I recommend we 29 00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:40,240 do a 280 agreement with the city and the GRC development. 30 00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:44,640 Uh I would recommend we assign the Mills County Economic Development staff to 31 00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:49,839 this project. Uh what I recommend is one put it up for 32 00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:55,200 sale for three months listed on Craigslist or Loopnet as a retirement 33 00:09:52,480 --> 00:10:00,080 home, not for rental housing. uh set a price of $2 million with 34 00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:05,440 $50,000 property tax ceiling for first two years in market value and I put a 35 00:10:03,519 --> 00:10:11,600 million dollar bond for demolition on it. It's not brought into usage within 36 00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:18,000 two years. After three months, I recommend putting on auction. Okay? So 37 00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:22,240 million dollar minimum again $50,000 tax ceiling, million dollar bond for 38 00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:28,079 demolition. Benefits to this would save demolition cost. I just want to throw 39 00:10:24,079 --> 00:10:33,680 out $200,000 figure. Uh add the tax rule, say 100,000 or more per year once 40 00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:38,560 it's up and running. Add 32 jobs to the market. 41 00:10:35,279 --> 00:10:45,200 This item brings my original $23 million potential benefit for the development to 42 00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:49,519 auction process of the GRC ground to 25 million. Hospital was never part of my 43 00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:54,079 original 23 million to one time cash confusion. Uh, the addition of the 44 00:10:52,160 --> 00:11:01,519 $100,000 property tax brings my 2.37 million to 45 00:10:58,079 --> 00:11:06,480 date to 2.47 million annual property tax adjustments to either tax increases or 46 00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:09,519 cost reductions. Thank you very much for your time 47 00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:14,079 consideration. Still asking for a 20-year tax abatement 48 00:11:12,079 --> 00:11:18,320 in my house and any property I own during that time. Thank you very much. 49 00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:22,640 » Thank you, Henry. >> Appreciate it. 50 00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:25,519 Anyone else? Bonnie, 51 00:11:23,519 --> 00:11:28,720 » it's nice to see Don here at the at the meetings. 52 00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:32,640 » It's nice to see Don here at the meetings. 53 00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:34,240 » You need protection. >> You need protection. 54 00:11:33,839 --> 00:11:38,079 » Yeah. >> Yeah, you do. [clears throat] 55 00:11:36,927 --> 00:11:43,120 [laughter] >> You said that with a little bit of 56 00:11:39,839 --> 00:11:50,560 » nah. You've known me. >> Well, I guess you're up there engineer, 57 00:11:46,959 --> 00:11:56,240 » right? only general discussion today. Uh September 14th, we're shooting to do the 58 00:11:53,360 --> 00:12:02,480 uh permazine application on Eastman Road. That'll be from the whole length 59 00:11:59,680 --> 00:12:08,800 of Eastman, so 195th Street, all the way over to 221st Street. That will include 60 00:12:06,399 --> 00:12:11,800 up to the top of the hill on 22nd Street. 61 00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:17,440 That is of course weather dependent. So if there's rain in the forecast, we'll 62 00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:23,839 just push that back. until we get some dry blood. 63 00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:30,320 Um, we've sent up to Pawatami County our final comments for the maintenance 64 00:12:26,959 --> 00:12:36,320 county line agreement. So, we may have that ready for uh board signatures next 65 00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:42,399 Tuesday. Wait for their engineer to see if there's he has any final comments and 66 00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:48,399 we'll probably do similar to last time we had a document with them. We signed 67 00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:52,320 it here. hurry up to message send it up to them a copy and then they 68 00:12:50,639 --> 00:12:58,320 can sign it at their 10 o'clock board meeting do it all in the same day. 69 00:12:55,600 --> 00:13:04,720 Our pavement markings uh annual project is completed for the county 70 00:13:02,079 --> 00:13:11,120 next week or later later this week. I have flood plane manager web flood based 71 00:13:07,680 --> 00:13:16,880 training. So keep up on that. And then, believe it or not, we're already uh 72 00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:21,760 getting uh getting things ready for winter maintenance. It's around the 73 00:13:18,639 --> 00:13:25,760 corner. Um be looking over our equipment and stuff here in the next month or so. 74 00:13:23,519 --> 00:13:29,839 Make sure we're all good. Kind of doing some of the stuff carried over from last 75 00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:36,000 year. Minor things, sanders, make sure they're all good. But, uh there's 76 00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:38,000 potential for snow not not far away. So, >> as it is, it's not going to snow this 77 00:13:37,680 --> 00:13:44,320 year. >> Yeah. You never know, though. have to be 78 00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:50,320 prepared. So, um we did just get quotes from our sold prices this year. They did 79 00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:54,800 go up, I believe, seven $8 a ton. That happens a lot. We 80 00:13:53,120 --> 00:14:00,240 looked at another company. They're even higher. So, let's stick with the company 81 00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:04,240 we've been using. It's more but still cheaper than others. So, do what we got 82 00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:08,480 to do. But, we'll be getting that. So, we fully stocked 83 00:14:06,399 --> 00:14:14,560 » more than 2%. >> Yeah. Well, they didn't raise it for 84 00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:21,360 four or five years, so it's been stuck. So, it looks like a big jump. If they 85 00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:27,360 would have done the two 3% each year, not as noticeable, but it probably 86 00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:30,240 » And what about pre-treatment? >> We're not going to be doing any 87 00:14:28,399 --> 00:14:33,920 pre-treatment. >> I don't I think it's a waste of time 88 00:14:32,639 --> 00:14:41,600 because you never know what the weather's going to do. And if you put it 89 00:14:36,079 --> 00:14:46,320 down and it rains, it goes away. We tried some experiments, different 90 00:14:43,839 --> 00:14:51,920 things, and just with our operation, a big big factor is that we don't run 247 91 00:14:49,839 --> 00:14:56,000 like the state does. So they can put an application down. They have a lot more 92 00:14:54,160 --> 00:15:01,040 traffic and then they can come back and hit it again. Whereas us, we put it 93 00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:04,800 down, it may melt it, but then we can get 94 00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:08,800 refereed and put another application a few hours later. We don't have quite the 95 00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:15,360 amount of traffic that's keeping it there in the roads just running off. So, 96 00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:19,600 number of different things plus that that ice storm [clears throat] 97 00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:24,720 and the state ran into it too, but we pre-treated 98 00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:28,079 241st and some subdivisions and it honestly didn't make any difference that 99 00:15:26,399 --> 00:15:32,760 night. >> Well, I think a lot of it got washed off 100 00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:32,760 before 101 00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:45,839 I got anything for me. We still have the f grinder or not? 102 00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:49,880 » No, we took it back. >> You missed some, but that's okay. 103 00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:56,000 » We got a little [clears throat] 104 00:15:54,320 --> 00:16:02,639 quite That made quite a difference out on 221st Street. 105 00:15:59,279 --> 00:16:07,519 » But there's still some Yeah, that was bad. It just seemed like it kept 106 00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:10,519 spelling up to 107 00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:17,600 What we got? >> So, I had a few people at Hickory Ridge 108 00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:22,320 reach out to me about these trees right here off of Hillman. 109 00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:26,959 » Um, they're blocking the right way. Well, not blocking the right way, but 110 00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:31,680 blocking the site distance from people pulling off of Hickory Ridge 111 00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:36,240 and uh the trees. The issue is is that 112 00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:40,639 they're kind of down a ways. It's kind of a ravine right here, but people here 113 00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:45,680 were wondering if there was any way that some of these trees could be um cut back 114 00:16:43,759 --> 00:16:51,839 so that they have more sight distance, especially since you can't turn left off 115 00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:59,880 of 34 right now currently because of construction. Uh might be a good time to 116 00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:59,880 do that if we're able to limit 117 00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:11,679 it. Well, you can see limits Here's this. So, I mean, it's right close there 118 00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:16,319 just to the right where there was >> distance at the corner turning out. 119 00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:21,039 » Yeah, I've driven it. I went out there. I mean, it's 120 00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:23,439 it's pretty tight. Pretty tight. So, I'm kind of over going into the road a 121 00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:29,919 little bit. >> Well, yeah, we'll go take a look at it. 122 00:17:27,120 --> 00:17:35,360 If it's up just for sight distance now, but most good. If it's something bigger, 123 00:17:32,799 --> 00:17:38,480 push back more to the fall or >> Yeah. 124 00:17:36,559 --> 00:17:42,240 » s distance or something like that. Maybe just trim it up. 125 00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:45,240 » Yeah. I appreciate it. >> Yeah. 126 00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:53,440 » I had a few people kind of jokingly, but in a sense, they said, "Well, you're 127 00:17:51,120 --> 00:17:58,000 fixing all them roads over there with that new product and stuff." He says, 128 00:17:56,080 --> 00:18:01,919 one guy says, "Can you can you get any of it east of there? east of Glenwood, 129 00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:08,400 you know, because it's all over around Glenwood and I will mention it to the 130 00:18:05,679 --> 00:18:12,480 engineer. >> Yeah, I know a lot of people perceive it 131 00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:16,240 that way, but it's also where the majority of our traffic is and 132 00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:21,679 » I told them >> the permazine um we're targeting areas 133 00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:26,960 where it's a cost benefit to us, right? And so places like Eastman, we're 134 00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:30,799 rocking it two, three times a year, putting this product down then saves us 135 00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:37,760 from rocking it hopefully. I mean, we will see, but it's for a cost savings 136 00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:41,280 just because of the traffic. >> And I and I explained that and they 137 00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:46,320 said, "We understand, but they said, you know, we still would like to have a 138 00:18:43,120 --> 00:18:50,240 little bit of new stuff in our area. We don't like to be left behind 139 00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:53,919 everything." Fortunately, I can't think of any gravel 140 00:18:51,919 --> 00:18:58,480 road on the east side of the county that has the same traffic as Eastman or 141 00:18:56,240 --> 00:19:00,480 Deacon for that matter. It's just I mean, 142 00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:05,360 » yeah, you couldn't find Washboard. So, any gravel road at some point, 143 00:19:03,039 --> 00:19:10,559 » every gravel road, >> but yeah, that's so that's why we're 144 00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:13,280 targeting folks in Well, I said if you can't put the cheap stuff down, just pay 145 00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:16,559 them. >> Yeah, that's right. 146 00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:21,039 » Okay. >> Or we could turn some of them back to 147 00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:26,880 their rent. Oh, go ahead. 148 00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:29,919 » But we'll uh keep that conversation. >> Okay. 149 00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:33,480 » Thank you. Have a good week. >> All right. Thank you. 150 00:19:33,919 --> 00:19:37,240 » Mr. Jenner, 151 00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:44,320 » thank you for coming in. >> Yeah. 152 00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:48,880 Put me on the agenda. So, >> sounds great. [clears throat] 153 00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:53,600 my board last Wednesday had an individual who wanted to 154 00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:56,799 see a project done in the county I guess so about three weeks ago I talked to him 155 00:19:55,200 --> 00:20:00,480 on the phone said it wasn't feasible he came to you guys said he was going to 156 00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:04,080 write a grant went to that point brought to my board 157 00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:11,720 decided not to go forward with it at all and that's how we're here so I wrote you 158 00:20:07,039 --> 00:20:11,720 guys a letter of what my board said 159 00:20:12,418 --> 00:20:14,438 [clears throat] 160 00:20:16,559 --> 00:20:23,559 sent that to you guys on sorry 161 00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:31,600 » so anyway like I said my board is is not trying to move forward with the project 162 00:20:28,559 --> 00:20:34,640 so yes I don't know if that's still means I've seen your guys' hands or not 163 00:20:33,360 --> 00:20:39,840 or if you guys have nothing to do with it because guess like I said we do not 164 00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:45,120 we have everything we need to do 165 00:20:43,360 --> 00:20:48,960 now you guys have questions about it or anything like that. But like I said, I 166 00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:52,480 think what my board said was pretty straightforward and laid it out there 167 00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:56,640 for you guys. So you guys can look at it. Said if you 168 00:20:54,559 --> 00:21:01,640 have questions, ask questions. If not, I don't know if any formal action said, 169 00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:09,200 you know, I read things on the county attorney what they put out and stuff. 170 00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:14,080 And when you try to get all these parties 171 00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:18,320 into one room, it's tough to do because you got the lake under this party, you 172 00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:22,720 got the grounds under this party, you have the board of supervisors. Uh, you 173 00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:25,919 know, >> like I said, we looked into this 174 00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:30,960 extensively 10 or 12 years ago. We're not against any of the parks, but we 175 00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:35,360 determined 10 or 12 years ago that this is just not feasible. 176 00:21:32,799 --> 00:21:41,039 » Well, it's just not feasible to go in that direction. I didn't look into what 177 00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:45,360 the insurance would cost to have an ADA ramp. You know, it would be probably on 178 00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:52,799 a separate policy because of the danger of it. And 179 00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:57,200 there's a lot of things like, you know, the lake may not be deep enough where we 180 00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:59,520 have to try and do this. So, you know, there will be dredging concerns and 181 00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:04,000 things that >> like I said, there's there's already a 182 00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:09,065 boat ramp there duplication services 60 acre light. So, 183 00:22:07,045 --> 00:22:09,065 » [clears throat] 184 00:22:09,679 --> 00:22:17,600 » So anyway, that's where we're at. >> I think it's a good idea to have an 88 185 00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:22,480 doc, good idea to have another program. But there's also a difference between a 186 00:22:19,919 --> 00:22:26,480 good idea and what is actually possible according to our staff. I think we need 187 00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:30,400 to trust our conservation staff who are out there every day and who have looked 188 00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:34,159 into this extensively. Not saying it's a bad idea, not saying that it's something 189 00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:38,480 that we can't look into in the future. I just don't think that with the grant 190 00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:43,679 deadline by the end of September and the conservation staff not being so sure of 191 00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:49,360 this proposal, I don't think that it's a good idea. So, I would make a motion to 192 00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:55,840 accept the conservation board's recommendation on requests for matching 193 00:22:51,840 --> 00:23:00,440 grant funds and to deny any improvements currently to the area. 194 00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:05,120 Forever 195 00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:20,280 I will second that for some discussion. 196 00:23:22,559 --> 00:23:29,520 We have a motion made and seconded. [clears throat] 197 00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:33,760 You might have to correct me on some of this. 198 00:23:32,159 --> 00:23:39,280 Uh due to the re recommendation of the 199 00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:43,520 conservation board and timing of this right now as far as when the grant has 200 00:23:41,679 --> 00:23:50,880 to be done, uh we would deny the improvements to 201 00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:54,559 Pony Creek Lake dock and boat ramp area. But 202 00:23:52,400 --> 00:24:00,880 fair enough with at least we have it on record. 203 00:23:57,679 --> 00:24:06,480 » Main issues that I see is number one, there's concerns about it being deep 204 00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:11,120 enough. Um, deficit and tax that they had gone out before in the past and 205 00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:16,400 checked the depth and that the depth wasn't quite their standard. Uh second 206 00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:20,559 thing that I'd be concerned about is since my understanding it's a 207 00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:26,159 non-navigable waterway, we'd have to have an easement with private land 208 00:24:22,559 --> 00:24:31,919 owner. Um and I don't believe to my knowledge um we never had the private 209 00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:35,200 land owner come in and talk to us. Never met with them. We never saw if this was 210 00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:40,000 something that they were interested in doing. And that's from advice from the 211 00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:43,679 county attorney's office. So I don't think that this is a terrible idea. I 212 00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:47,840 think it's a great idea. I just don't think that it's feasible right now. I 213 00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:52,400 think we got to trust our staff. >> Well, another thing, if you look at the 214 00:24:49,679 --> 00:24:56,880 number of terraces, conservation work that has done been done in the northern 215 00:24:55,360 --> 00:25:00,559 part of the whole drainage district and 216 00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:05,600 stuff. You know, we're holding back water, holding back water, and we're not 217 00:25:02,559 --> 00:25:09,279 getting the lake filling up, but it's not going to increase much. I mean, it's 218 00:25:07,679 --> 00:25:13,520 going to stay about where it is. It's not going to come up two or three feet 219 00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:18,520 in the next 10 years or something, you know. So, the tube that 220 00:25:19,039 --> 00:25:26,640 » is there any other discussion? >> Yeah. Um, 221 00:25:24,559 --> 00:25:30,080 I agree with you a thousand% on, you know, doing the due diligence, but it's 222 00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:34,720 just something that we could at least look at or entertain if the land owners 223 00:25:32,559 --> 00:25:38,960 did some more research to prove it that is deep 224 00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:44,000 enough and if they could get easements, >> we prefer probably just to 225 00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:50,840 revamp up the area that's currently being used as appropriate 226 00:25:46,559 --> 00:25:50,840 instead of building a whole new area. 227 00:25:51,120 --> 00:25:58,240 I mean, you need we have area right now for four to five boats and trailers, 228 00:25:55,520 --> 00:26:05,919 which on most days that's plenty overflow parkings across the way at 229 00:26:01,919 --> 00:26:11,200 Creek Park. But if we did anything, there' be a lot more fiscally 230 00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:16,080 responsible to improve what's currently being used. 231 00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:20,400 That's pouring a concrete slab. So it's a concrete boat ramp instead of just 232 00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:26,480 gravel which at the same time we could do the one mile lake which gives us 233 00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:29,440 probably just as much as one. What do you drink 234 00:26:28,393 --> 00:26:35,600 [clears throat] and then we could put a boat dock I mean right off if anything 235 00:26:32,559 --> 00:26:40,320 right across from the park of the lake that is currently owned by 236 00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:43,600 so then one wouldn't have to deal with it wouldn't have to deal with private 237 00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:48,640 land owners. That would be a lot more make a lot more sense and be more 238 00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:52,559 fiscally responsible to it. 239 00:26:51,120 --> 00:26:56,039 » Does that make sense? >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. 240 00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:08,880 We would you like would you know in the future 241 00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:12,720 someone becomes interested in this in your 242 00:27:09,679 --> 00:27:15,440 » mercy. So that they can cover that currently. Okay. 243 00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:20,760 » I I think it's something that we can entertain in the future. It's just by 244 00:27:17,279 --> 00:27:20,760 the end of the month. 245 00:27:23,039 --> 00:27:31,960 » Okay. So we have a motion made and seconded on the floor and discussion. 246 00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:31,960 All those in favor 247 00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:41,120 » and saying thank you J. Appreciate it. 248 00:27:39,039 --> 00:27:42,960 » Thank you. J. >> Thank you, sir, for your interest. 249 00:27:42,559 --> 00:27:45,919 Appreciate it. >> Thank you for your time. I appreciate 250 00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:47,200 all your concerns. All brought up valid points. 251 00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:52,919 » Thank you, sir. >> Sorry for the short time run on this. 252 00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:52,919 » No problem. 253 00:27:53,120 --> 00:27:59,120 » Sure. >> How are you this morning? 254 00:27:56,880 --> 00:28:05,919 » Everything smooth over the weekend? >> It did. As I can tell, um 255 00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:10,720 just update on the on the cars. We had we had a new drone operator among our 256 00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:15,039 our crew had to have first car having an inverter put in that got taken care of 257 00:28:12,559 --> 00:28:20,000 and they finished that. They did put our the new cruiser that's been not been 258 00:28:16,559 --> 00:28:28,640 uped. They took it. So in the process of being hopefully they said a week um I'll 259 00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:33,440 take some maybe three. So we're getting close to 260 00:28:31,360 --> 00:28:37,919 that spare which would be fantastic for us. Uh, you know, we we spend a lot of 261 00:28:36,399 --> 00:28:43,840 time when we have a part down doing shuffle and picking people up. 262 00:28:41,679 --> 00:28:46,080 » Jones or >> what's that? That's at Jones. 263 00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:51,279 » At Jones. >> At Jones. Yeah. 264 00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:56,480 Okay. Well, then we actually went up Friday. 265 00:28:53,760 --> 00:29:01,919 » And we're not the only county that has this problem. You go across the state. 266 00:28:59,039 --> 00:29:05,279 There just not enough people doing that. You know, I think you could open up one 267 00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:09,279 or two more shops and still not have enough. 268 00:29:06,399 --> 00:29:15,279 » I have talked to um I know that Vermont County is usually out of Canada. Um but 269 00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:19,679 they're using Taho because they were the Taho through that 270 00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:23,679 that dealership. I don't know if they're doing other 271 00:29:21,679 --> 00:29:32,480 other than Taho. Um, we also had talked to company out of 272 00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:39,360 place of Kansas 911 custom. Uh, they're considering buying a building in Omaha 273 00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:42,919 and uh doing work out of that. However, the initial up 274 00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:51,360 there just be the service. I'm not sure if that helped. We just not 275 00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:57,840 have to have those done, but that happened 276 00:29:53,120 --> 00:30:02,760 to transport back to a way different. We're we're exploring other options. 277 00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:02,760 We're continuing working. 278 00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:09,399 Just a side note, we are looking at all of our 279 00:30:10,159 --> 00:30:13,159 purchase. 280 00:30:14,159 --> 00:30:21,000 We got much cheaper get the same service if not better. 281 00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:27,799 That's all I got for today. 282 00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:32,919 Okay.

Um and then after they were able to show that they were 361 00:38:04,720 --> 00:38:11,440 co-rustee on the trust, we reinstated them. 362 00:38:08,720 --> 00:38:15,200 And when we went to run taxes, I know Megan and I looked on like that specific 363 00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:19,599 one two or three times to make sure it was on there. Um, you know, didn't want 364 00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:24,480 to, but anyway, when we printed it wasn't on there. So, the that first one, 365 00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:28,400 that single one is just to add those military credit and also homestead, 366 00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:31,119 which they are entitled to as preapproved. 367 00:38:29,839 --> 00:38:33,440 » That's what that list is. >> No, that's what just the one is. 368 00:38:32,720 --> 00:38:36,560 » Just the one. >> Just the one is right there.

Thank you. All right. Any more discussion? 378 00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:25,520 All those in favor? >> I 379 00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:31,920 motion carries. Consider formal action auditor certificate of adjustment 380 00:39:28,240 --> 00:39:38,320 multiple personals partial due to software calculation error and low 381 00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:42,079 income elderly. >> So we've got a stack of them there and 382 00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:47,040 then I have two more that I don't have the certificate ready because I was 383 00:39:43,839 --> 00:39:52,400 having to check the math on it. Um so she did those so I have two more that we 384 00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:57,040 add to it. Um these we're not sure what happened. Um, our software did not 385 00:39:54,960 --> 00:40:00,800 calculate the eligibility low-inccome tax credit. So, it showed on, if you 386 00:39:59,599 --> 00:40:04,560 look at your package, if you look at the back speed, it shows there is a credit 387 00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:10,480 there. But, if you do the math, the credit's not really there. So, this just 388 00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:14,160 um adjusts those amounts to make sure that they get all the credits that are 389 00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:17,599 due to them. Now, I have two more that your packet 390 00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:20,880 and I can email those to you later today, 391 00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:25,800 but they're the same situation. I just wanted to make sure our map was mapping 392 00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:25,800 on that 393 00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:32,720 » solution. >> We think so. 394 00:40:29,920 --> 00:40:37,680 » It is. There are other charters that have come for them about that as well 395 00:40:35,040 --> 00:40:44,720 that didn't did not calculate correctly. And then the other part that they 396 00:40:39,359 --> 00:40:52,240 there's two of them in here that um they have made future payments towards their 397 00:40:47,599 --> 00:40:57,599 taxes. Um, and the future payments were deducted in the net net tax prior to the 398 00:40:55,440 --> 00:41:02,040 credits being applied. So there's one of them in here who would 399 00:41:05,119 --> 00:41:11,240 they pay towards that and um they were actually build 400 00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:23,040 they should actually have a credit going into 401 00:41:17,119 --> 00:41:27,599 not much on on one but because of that they should have so then we'll work to I 402 00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:32,560 guess let's actually all of them has let them know that this 403 00:41:29,599 --> 00:41:34,960 is being done. Um >> is that something you get a hold of 404 00:41:33,680 --> 00:41:38,880 solutions for? Is it something you get a hold of for moving forward? 405 00:41:36,880 --> 00:41:42,880 » Well, I don't I don't think it's a Tyler issue 406 00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:46,160 just based on the issues that solutions have with calculating tax. A lot of 407 00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:50,319 different other issues that have come up as well like just seems like they can't 408 00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:54,400 whatever reason their math doesn't seem to be working. 409 00:41:52,319 --> 00:41:59,520 the elderly the [clears throat] future payment one goes back two years there's 410 00:41:56,720 --> 00:42:05,200 been rejurers but it's I've had that same issue going back two years and 411 00:42:01,520 --> 00:42:10,079 solutions are supposed to fix >> it's something new for me 412 00:42:08,160 --> 00:42:15,119 » and I somewhere >> in a in a sense it's going to be six 413 00:42:12,160 --> 00:42:19,440 months before you will really know if the system will work correctly 414 00:42:18,400 --> 00:42:22,240 » the new one >> right 415 00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:24,720 » well I mean we'll test it as we go. We'd probably be a whole year through it 416 00:42:23,280 --> 00:42:26,640 before we have all the bugs out, honestly. 417 00:42:26,240 --> 00:42:30,000 » Okay. >> I mean, it just it 418 00:42:28,079 --> 00:42:35,760 » and you know, that's something maybe you can explain to them, too. You know, this 419 00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:40,720 system is new to us, new to everybody. >> Uh I thought about maybe bringing Tyler 420 00:42:38,240 --> 00:42:44,800 in, let you let everybody departments, you know, ask questions if 421 00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:48,720 they had questions. I think once we get a little closer, um, might not be a bad 422 00:42:47,599 --> 00:42:51,200 idea, but I mean, >> okay, 423 00:42:49,839 --> 00:42:55,440 » we're just kind of rough that right now. I mean, they did have Floral was here 424 00:42:53,119 --> 00:42:58,160 all of the week before last and helped out as well. 425 00:42:56,000 --> 00:43:01,280 » I felt that we did help. >> It was worth it. 426 00:42:59,200 --> 00:43:03,359 » It is. Yeah, I think so. It's a lot of time hands-on. So, 427 00:43:02,640 --> 00:43:06,000 » right. >> Still got some other issues that we're 428 00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:11,040 working through, but I think that's to be expected when you're changing 429 00:43:07,599 --> 00:43:15,119 software providers. Um, and Tyler is a a bigger company, so they don't have 430 00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:19,200 software writers that only do Iowa. They do everywhere. So, you're going to your 431 00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:23,200 software person and you're telling them what they need, but they don't have a 432 00:43:21,119 --> 00:43:26,720 program set specifically for Iowa. So, when you are working with them, they are 433 00:43:24,560 --> 00:43:31,359 creating these programs work exactly how you would, which is great, but also 434 00:43:28,720 --> 00:43:36,160 takes a ton of work. So, and then I um if you guys approve 435 00:43:34,160 --> 00:43:41,920 these adjustments, then what I'll do is in the minutes I will type out all the 436 00:43:38,800 --> 00:43:45,319 minutes so that we have it on file. But there was probably 437 00:43:54,079 --> 00:43:58,839 » just so everybody somebody's aware of what's 438 00:43:59,520 --> 00:44:05,680 » you got have enough checks and balances, right? 439 00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:05,680 » They're getting that all the time. 440 00:44:10,720 --> 00:44:20,079 I have yet motion to approve auditors for adjustment for multiple parcels due 441 00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:25,440 to software calculation error on lowincome elderly credits.

It's really 446 00:44:45,440 --> 00:44:49,440 » I don't think so. No, it's just a credit. 447 00:44:51,839 --> 00:45:00,720 Is there any other discussion, [snorts] questions, concerns? I think this is 448 00:44:58,000 --> 00:45:04,880 something that if we have to look at it monthly, we should look at it monthly. 449 00:45:02,720 --> 00:45:08,240 Be more show up. I mean, who knows what's going to show up. 450 00:45:06,480 --> 00:45:12,400 » We ran we were able to run the report from Melissa has filed for the elderly 451 00:45:10,960 --> 00:45:18,240 and low-inccome and we just ran all of them. And so that's that's everybody 452 00:45:13,920 --> 00:45:21,200 that has that credit. So, We should I mean we might have some 453 00:45:19,520 --> 00:45:26,480 other issues with some calculating but I don't think it'll be these run through 454 00:45:23,440 --> 00:45:32,440 and fix all those that is all we have on probably 455 00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:32,440 » all those in favor 456 00:45:32,691 --> 00:45:34,711 [clears throat] 457 00:45:36,319 --> 00:45:39,480 » thank you 458 00:45:46,400 --> 00:45:55,119 discussion possible formal action additional accounts payable rate 459 00:45:51,440 --> 00:46:00,000 » I'm not sure we're going to she got most of them done 460 00:45:57,520 --> 00:46:03,280 can we do the other two items first and I'll send 461 00:46:01,599 --> 00:46:10,119 her to see if we need those additional I 462 00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:10,119 think she said she got a lot of it done 463 00:46:12,640 --> 00:46:17,040 » did she get >> that's 464 00:46:18,079 --> 00:46:22,880 got on Tyler's to-do list. 465 00:46:22,560 --> 00:46:28,367 » Yep. >> If you could say, 466 00:46:23,920 --> 00:46:30,960 » yep, we had a little hiccup with the [clears throat] 467 00:46:29,359 --> 00:46:34,480 um didn't give her permission to actually 468 00:46:32,240 --> 00:46:38,800 finish the final.

Um we conducted that on Friday. Um, Secretary of State 509 00:49:54,640 --> 00:50:01,839 randomly selects a precinct um that gets audited in every election. Um, for this 510 00:49:59,440 --> 00:50:05,520 election, the precincts were um the Hastings precinct and then the absentee 511 00:50:04,240 --> 00:50:08,640 precinct. What got picked was our absentee precinct. We had one ballot 512 00:50:07,359 --> 00:50:11,640 spot in >> one. 513 00:50:11,760 --> 00:50:16,960 It was really difficult. [clears throat] 514 00:50:16,319 --> 00:50:22,079 So >> stupid question, but you does there have 515 00:50:18,880 --> 00:50:26,119 to be any kind of percentage or majority to do this or is it just 516 00:50:26,559 --> 00:50:36,720 » when it comes to candidates, it can be um a tie or they by one vote, they can 517 00:50:34,160 --> 00:50:41,680 » What if this one person says >> they've already 518 00:50:39,839 --> 00:50:46,880 » for the time being? >> What if they What if they didn't?

So this is just the absentee precinct. We had nine 521 00:50:53,520 --> 00:50:57,680 total votes in the election. >> There's one that came and voted 522 00:50:56,640 --> 00:50:59,920 » absentee. >> Okay. 523 00:50:58,079 --> 00:51:03,079 » Yeah. So one voted absentee, eight people voted. 524 00:51:03,599 --> 00:51:11,599 » So um that if the absentee uh or the post-election audit is a little bit more 525 00:51:10,240 --> 00:51:14,880 thorough when you have >> sure 526 00:51:12,079 --> 00:51:19,599 » more ballots. So, [laughter] >> yeah. 527 00:51:16,960 --> 00:51:21,839 » Any questions on it? >> Nope. 528 00:51:20,319 --> 00:51:28,880 » Okay. >> All right. Then all we need to do is 529 00:51:24,800 --> 00:51:33,000 sign abstracts. Um, so Denny Lawrence won. He had five votes. 530 00:51:37,040 --> 00:51:42,720 » See, nine voters. He has five votes. Was it five? 531 00:51:40,319 --> 00:51:48,839 » Um, so Vinnie had five votes. Uh Terry Rosco had three and then Alita Jones had 532 00:51:45,839 --> 00:51:48,839 one. 533 00:51:51,040 --> 00:51:54,040 » Yeah. 534 00:51:59,599 --> 00:52:03,680 » All right. And because there was no statewide reporting for this, the 535 00:52:02,240 --> 00:52:10,280 election summary just looks a little bit different. 536 00:52:06,240 --> 00:52:10,280 » Uh you'll need to sign that one. 537 00:52:10,880 --> 00:52:14,920 » Yes. It doesn't matter where 538 00:52:26,720 --> 00:52:32,640 » seal. [laughter] >> Well, I I didn't have a lot to seal this 539 00:52:30,640 --> 00:52:36,960 time, so it's easy to get >> done. 540 00:52:34,720 --> 00:52:41,359 When I have like 300 pages to seal, kind of put [laughter] it off a little bit. 541 00:52:39,280 --> 00:52:45,680 I was worried about how much we were going to have to sign. 542 00:52:44,240 --> 00:52:50,119 » That'll be in November. Don't worry. You'll get your your signing done then. 543 00:52:50,891 --> 00:52:52,911 [clears throat and cough] 544 00:53:01,040 --> 00:53:04,680 » Amber will get silos. 545 00:53:06,960 --> 00:53:13,599 Do we need a motion to approve this? Accept this. 546 00:53:11,440 --> 00:53:18,480 » Make a motion to approve the canvas of special election hasting city council to 547 00:53:15,839 --> 00:53:24,640 fill back city hall on September 1st. >> Second.

All those in favor? 550 00:53:36,079 --> 00:53:40,920 Okay, >> thank you. 551 00:53:37,520 --> 00:53:40,920 » Thank you, Katie. 552 00:53:43,359 --> 00:53:50,880 » Next on the agenda is board supervisor committee meeting update. Uh, the only 553 00:53:48,559 --> 00:53:56,640 one I had last week, I we had an EMS meeting 554 00:53:52,400 --> 00:54:01,839 here in Glenwood at the county annex building. 555 00:53:58,880 --> 00:54:07,920 Approximately 25 people that were not associated with 556 00:54:04,640 --> 00:54:13,760 fire or rescue were there, which I thought was great. 557 00:54:10,079 --> 00:54:20,800 We had probably an hour almost almost an hour and a half of 558 00:54:17,520 --> 00:54:25,440 comments, questions. Uh there was some people that got a little 559 00:54:22,240 --> 00:54:32,160 upset because one couple seemed to accumulate 560 00:54:28,240 --> 00:54:35,359 » 75% of the time. And I think somebody finally tapped the gun on the shoulder 561 00:54:33,599 --> 00:54:39,440 and says, "Can other people ask questions?" 562 00:54:37,440 --> 00:54:42,880 She was They were very liid about 563 00:54:42,242 --> 00:54:47,200 [clears throat] asking for the dollar half when we had 564 00:54:45,599 --> 00:54:54,079 mentioned that maybe we would only need a$110 565 00:54:49,200 --> 00:54:59,359 to make this work. Joe George did a very good job on 566 00:54:56,559 --> 00:55:05,280 putting forth why we were asking for the dollar and a half and to have the 40 567 00:55:01,200 --> 00:55:11,680 cents that we would not ask for. And she finally I I guess we could say 568 00:55:07,280 --> 00:55:16,240 understood that no uh because turn around and do this all again a big 569 00:55:14,079 --> 00:55:23,920 cost to the county to put it up to vote again. Uh so you know u 570 00:55:22,079 --> 00:55:28,160 there was a lot of good questions asked a lot of concerns you know about what 571 00:55:26,400 --> 00:55:32,160 was going to take place and when we put our 572 00:55:29,839 --> 00:55:36,079 final tally sheet or whatever you want to call it out to the public and thing I 573 00:55:34,800 --> 00:55:41,680 think it'll be a lot easier to understand. So 574 00:55:38,480 --> 00:55:46,480 that's the only one I had. Last week I had a zoring board of 575 00:55:44,079 --> 00:55:53,280 adjustments meeting. I spoke about the uh conduct within our meeting um what 576 00:55:50,880 --> 00:55:58,223 power board of adjustment members have, what should be said, what shouldn't be 577 00:55:55,040 --> 00:56:02,480 said. There's pretty good discussion [clears throat] um following an issue 578 00:56:00,160 --> 00:56:09,200 that occurred from a meeting a few months ago. So we're on track. Uh we 579 00:56:06,319 --> 00:56:14,160 talked briefly about the upcoming Bolson Lake solar project conditional use 580 00:56:11,359 --> 00:56:20,559 permit as well and that was decided to be held down at the annex instead of the 581 00:56:16,720 --> 00:56:25,760 high school. That way um it can be reported and heard well like at the high 582 00:56:22,720 --> 00:56:30,160 school where we'll have to use here very well. Additionally had 583 00:56:27,839 --> 00:56:35,359 conservation board meeting uh Jason Hoffman came and presented the dock 584 00:56:32,880 --> 00:56:40,480 idea. We had a very long discussion. The conservation board did along with 585 00:56:37,920 --> 00:56:44,160 members of the conservation staff. Um, everybody thought it was a great idea. 586 00:56:42,400 --> 00:56:49,599 We were just concerned about the feasibility of the of the project. So, 587 00:56:47,680 --> 00:56:52,400 um, they ultimately decided to send that letter that we received today. That's 588 00:56:51,839 --> 00:56:55,864 all I had. >> What was your first name? 589 00:56:54,240 --> 00:56:58,960 » Gordon. [snorts] 590 00:56:56,720 --> 00:57:02,880 Last week, I was going to attend the EMS meeting and we had an emergency at 591 00:57:00,880 --> 00:57:08,079 juvenile detention. had a elderly man driving his 592 00:57:05,839 --> 00:57:11,680 grandchildren on the South Expressway and 593 00:57:09,920 --> 00:57:17,119 had a some health issues and missed every 594 00:57:14,640 --> 00:57:23,680 building and tree along the way and proceeded to hit our juvenile detention 595 00:57:20,000 --> 00:57:28,880 building. Kind of hard to do >> challenging. 596 00:57:24,319 --> 00:57:35,160 » Yeah. But I it happened. Um >> yeah, it just didn't go well. So I had 597 00:57:30,720 --> 00:57:35,160 to go up there for a few hours. 598 00:57:35,359 --> 00:57:38,359 » Okay. 599 00:57:40,240 --> 00:57:43,400 Over here 600 00:57:44,160 --> 00:57:47,160 down 601 00:57:51,680 --> 00:58:00,480 » under new business. I um have had QRS investments um echo groups contact and 602 00:57:58,319 --> 00:58:07,280 send in. They've done this for a couple years, but I kind of wasn't able to get 603 00:58:02,880 --> 00:58:10,559 move forward with it due to um not getting the information I needed. Um 604 00:58:09,040 --> 00:58:17,440 anyway, so they're asking for an abatement and in 2024 uh an ordinance 605 00:58:14,079 --> 00:58:23,119 was passed um for new construction like for commercial or industrial that does 606 00:58:20,160 --> 00:58:30,640 allow for partial exemptions. Um it's a five-year sliding scale. Um, 607 00:58:27,920 --> 00:58:35,760 and I have the application, but we'll need to follow the the ordinance here. 608 00:58:32,960 --> 00:58:38,240 And I believe we'll have to have a public hearing, and I do think we'll 609 00:58:37,200 --> 00:58:41,359 have to have a development agreement that is created for them. Now, there is 610 00:58:39,760 --> 00:58:47,839 a development agreement that was created at one point. Um, but that um did not 611 00:58:45,440 --> 00:58:51,079 ever get approved and I don't know if that's because 612 00:58:51,680 --> 00:58:58,880 the ordinance had to go through first and maybe it got forgotten or I don't 613 00:58:55,839 --> 00:59:02,559 know. So, I'm going to work with the county attorney's office on this to see 614 00:59:00,880 --> 00:59:05,839 if get something moving on this because 615 00:59:04,160 --> 00:59:08,559 it's been off for like two years now and it needs to get done if you guys are 616 00:59:07,359 --> 00:59:14,079 willing at least get it in front of you guys to get approved. Um, so I'm 617 00:59:11,760 --> 00:59:18,319 waiting. The assessor now is working on the values that I need that will show 618 00:59:16,480 --> 00:59:21,520 the actual value added for the new construction and how then that would 619 00:59:20,240 --> 00:59:25,200 then be written into a development agreement and we'd have to have a public 620 00:59:22,960 --> 00:59:29,839 hearing to approve that. Thus approving the abatement as well. I have reached 621 00:59:27,280 --> 00:59:34,400 out to um I think his name is Greg over at QRS and 622 00:59:32,880 --> 00:59:38,240 let him know that we're looking into it. Um I will probably give him a call again 623 00:59:35,680 --> 00:59:41,359 today. Just tell them where we are. Um but it's something that at least needs 624 00:59:39,920 --> 00:59:44,319 to come before you guys decide something you want to do or not 625 00:59:42,559 --> 00:59:49,359 » in the development agreements or any other agreements we have I would like to 626 00:59:45,760 --> 00:59:55,760 see added um that uh while they're applying for this exemption that they 627 00:59:52,720 --> 01:00:01,520 also agree to the valuation just because of uh let's use Bucky for 628 00:59:58,559 --> 01:00:06,799 example you agreed for we didn't previous administration did a 15 20 year 629 01:00:05,599 --> 01:00:11,359 uh abatement And then uh once time came due, they 630 01:00:09,680 --> 01:00:14,079 said, "No, we're not worth that much." And then [clears throat] 631 01:00:12,960 --> 01:00:16,559 » won and fought it. So >> I think we need to make sure that in the 632 01:00:15,359 --> 01:00:19,040 development agreement, it's clear that this is only an abatement of county 633 01:00:18,160 --> 01:00:23,520 taxes. Yes. >> Not of everybody else's. 634 01:00:20,559 --> 01:00:28,640 » Yeah. And and this is good. >> So that's something I am working on. Um 635 01:00:26,799 --> 01:00:35,839 I'm also going to be meeting with all of our um developers to or over the next 636 01:00:32,160 --> 01:00:39,359 week talk about next year's um tip and the removal. 637 01:00:38,079 --> 01:00:43,200 Um so I'll probably have some more information for you guys next week on 638 01:00:40,559 --> 01:00:52,319 those. No, I totally agree with Wish because 639 01:00:47,440 --> 01:00:57,119 we lost ear over $300,000 with the court with Dungi 640 01:00:54,960 --> 01:01:00,480 and when it came down to it, P County and 641 01:00:58,960 --> 01:01:06,160 Mills County looked at one another and said, "We can't afford disable. We were 642 01:01:03,200 --> 01:01:14,720 paying the lawyers bills for >> losing and they were getting expensive." 643 01:01:10,960 --> 01:01:19,040 I capes though. So they agreed to it upfront, right? 644 01:01:15,920 --> 01:01:23,200 » This is our value. Be harder for them to fight it later on. 645 01:01:21,280 --> 01:01:30,760 » Just want to get that front kn. >> Thank you. Ambering 646 01:01:25,599 --> 01:01:30,760 was I had 20 year property tax. 647 01:01:34,880 --> 01:01:43,200 » Hey, does anyone else have any new business? The only new business I want 648 01:01:39,839 --> 01:01:49,280 to let you both know is that I received a phone call from Sam Deliv last week of 649 01:01:46,799 --> 01:01:56,000 Sam's agricultural properties just north of this house last year. They were taxed 650 01:01:52,880 --> 01:02:02,559 as residential instead of agricultural which raised his taxes from roughly 651 01:01:58,559 --> 01:02:09,520 7,000 to around 13 14,000. Um since it is a two-year cycle, um that is the same 652 01:02:07,040 --> 01:02:16,960 for this year, uh his taxes are still residential. Um he did meet with Chris 653 01:02:13,119 --> 01:02:22,559 Goig in the past. Um and at the time she did say that she would take care of it. 654 01:02:19,359 --> 01:02:28,160 She did not take care of it. Um it's fixed for future reference, but uh if 655 01:02:26,720 --> 01:02:35,200 you guys [clears throat] are okay with it, I'd like to be able to fix it for 656 01:02:32,240 --> 01:02:41,040 now and be able to do an abatement or credit for this tax season. So, I asked 657 01:02:38,160 --> 01:02:47,680 Michelle to determine what the valuation would be if it was agricultural instead 658 01:02:44,880 --> 01:02:52,960 of residential. She's working on that. Then after that, I believe it goes to 659 01:02:49,760 --> 01:02:57,760 Amber's office to determine taxes. Then after that, we'll vote in the list. like 660 01:02:56,640 --> 01:03:02,400 the [clears throat] three of them last week. Um ultimately it's something that 661 01:03:00,799 --> 01:03:08,799 the board of supervisors would have to decide. Um but I think that um I think 662 01:03:06,079 --> 01:03:13,119 he kind of got wrong. I'd like to see it made right a little bit. 663 01:03:10,480 --> 01:03:16,880 » Um on the valuation for those properties, [clears throat] 664 01:03:14,000 --> 01:03:22,000 his um classification was changed prior to 2023. So it has been residential for 665 01:03:19,839 --> 01:03:27,599 some time. Um, also the taxes he's paying on now are from 2025 666 01:03:24,640 --> 01:03:32,000 value. He missed the appeal time for the board of review. Um, he can go and 667 01:03:30,240 --> 01:03:39,200 appeal to the board review next year and he can can appeal the 2026 and for the 668 01:03:35,520 --> 01:03:43,440 upcoming 2027 if it's not changed. Um, I believe as an honor standard that is the 669 01:03:41,760 --> 01:03:48,480 the avenue that needs to be used because the board of adjustment and Chris may 670 01:03:45,520 --> 01:03:52,480 have intended to change it, but since it wasn't changed, I think you're opening 671 01:03:51,039 --> 01:03:54,559 up a can of worms to allow anybody to say, "Hey, that I was going 672 01:03:53,759 --> 01:03:57,680 [clears throat] to have it changed. It didn't get changed." Um, we couldn't 673 01:03:56,400 --> 01:04:02,000 really find a whole lot other than it was supposed to be changed in 2026. So, 674 01:03:59,440 --> 01:04:04,720 it should be we're working on the 226 months to get those changed. But, I 675 01:04:03,359 --> 01:04:09,280 think the correct avenue on this would be for him to go to board review. 676 01:04:08,000 --> 01:04:13,680 I think it's an important process that we don't want people to skip. 677 01:04:12,160 --> 01:04:21,760 » I would I would agree that that's the route. And the one other thing is it's 678 01:04:17,920 --> 01:04:23,760 it's it is already splitting a lot. >> So 679 01:04:22,319 --> 01:04:26,880 » it's >> Yeah, 680 01:04:24,079 --> 01:04:32,240 » it is. But it's been bar >> it's use. Yes. So so the best way to 681 01:04:31,200 --> 01:04:37,760 vacate it >> best way to vacate it moving forward 682 01:04:33,920 --> 01:04:42,960 would be to vacate some there's nothing to argue about because 683 01:04:39,760 --> 01:04:47,119 it is being used as a >> I just believe I' I've discussed the 684 01:04:45,359 --> 01:04:51,760 issue with them. If we want to go a different route Amber if you want to go 685 01:04:48,559 --> 01:04:56,640 a different route to understand. I will um ask Sam if we can talk to him. 686 01:04:54,720 --> 01:05:00,400 » That's fine. You can come in. But I would I would still I would defer to the 687 01:04:58,559 --> 01:05:05,760 board of review. It's not my place to do that. Um and and he can still go back 688 01:05:03,599 --> 01:05:08,000 and say the 226 ones and get those back to act if they aren't already. 689 01:05:07,359 --> 01:05:14,240 » Sure. >> But the the time period to 690 01:05:11,760 --> 01:05:16,960 fight your um fight your 691 01:05:16,400 --> 01:05:20,720 » process. >> It's a process and and he missed it by a 692 01:05:18,799 --> 01:05:26,520 month. and he was told that that you you know you'll have to come back next April 693 01:05:22,799 --> 01:05:26,520 to request being withd 694 01:05:41,520 --> 01:05:45,480 and then you sold one then 695 01:05:45,680 --> 01:05:53,200 both ways just get rid of the subdivision. 696 01:05:49,520 --> 01:05:56,200 because it can very easily open up. >> Yeah. 697 01:05:56,400 --> 01:05:59,839 » I believe we'll work with anybody we need to work with. 698 01:05:59,359 --> 01:06:03,520 » Absolutely. >> I think we need to have a conversation 699 01:06:01,680 --> 01:06:07,680 because it kind of happened all of a sudden. He he came in, he had the 700 01:06:05,680 --> 01:06:12,240 conversation, said he was going to be fixed. Ultimately, it didn't get fixed 701 01:06:09,359 --> 01:06:17,680 for whatever reason. And um if there's any way that we can follow up with any 702 01:06:14,160 --> 01:06:25,240 route to be able to take care of it um I don't like to see a old farmer's tax and 703 01:06:20,960 --> 01:06:25,240 get up. So 704 01:06:25,280 --> 01:06:31,839 » there's no further business there. I'll make a posture. Go ahead. 705 01:06:29,359 --> 01:06:34,000 » Uh you have board of adjust next week. >> Yeah. 706 01:06:33,119 --> 01:06:36,880 » Uh >> I already have a I already have a form 707 01:06:36,559 --> 01:06:40,319 up. >> Okay. The 15th. 708 01:06:38,079 --> 01:06:45,920 » Thank you. It'll be it. >> I think next Okay. 709 01:06:42,160 --> 01:06:50,640 » It's on the solar farm, right? >> That's all I have. 710 01:06:48,880 --> 01:06:57,680 » What time did you say, sir? >> 914. Second. 711 01:06:54,240 --> 01:07:06,920 » Motion made and seconded to our meeting at 9:14. All those in favor? 712 01:07:03,119 --> 01:07:06,920 » We are done people. 713 01:07:07,760 --> 01:07:10,559 the church.
