1 00:00:00,290 --> 00:00:11,694 - I'm going to call to order this work session for October 8th. We have two planning petitions. We'll 2 00:00:11,694 --> 00:00:22,301 - just take them in order. Ordinance 2026-39. And I don't know who is presenting, but probably 3 00:00:22,301 --> 00:00:25,950 - Ms. Nestor-Gellin. Hello again. 4 00:00:34,146 --> 00:00:48,345 - needs to be made presenter tst thank you there we go thank you i knew you were there thanks so much 5 00:00:48,345 --> 00:01:02,686 - all right so we can start with the text amendment thanks for having me back here at the work session 6 00:01:02,786 --> 00:01:11,500 - I'm going to go ahead and share my screen and I will try to summarize this as best I can. Okay, so on 7 00:01:11,500 --> 00:01:20,043 - the CDO on the list of changes, we have our nice revisions page where this is a one-stop shop where 8 00:01:20,043 --> 00:01:27,902 - you can see all prior revisions and current updated revisions proposed to the CDO. The main 9 00:01:28,258 --> 00:01:36,011 - changes for this text amendment is because the state laws that passed effective July 1, we want to make 10 00:01:36,011 --> 00:01:43,465 - sure our code aligns with those changes. Specifically, they've made a lot of changes to things like 11 00:01:43,465 --> 00:01:51,442 - indoor shooting ranges, allowing firearm sales at sporting goods stores, increasing the zones that they're 12 00:01:51,442 --> 00:01:56,958 - allowed to sell those in, changing some definitions associated with that. 13 00:01:57,090 --> 00:02:04,020 - We are making those changes because we have to. So I want to go to some of the other changes. We did 14 00:02:04,020 --> 00:02:10,882 - also do a few staff changes. We continue to clean up the code, make sure it's clear for people. And 15 00:02:10,882 --> 00:02:17,744 - I just want to be transparent in the state code changes and the staff changes. So one of the things 16 00:02:17,744 --> 00:02:25,086 - that we've noticed as staff is that we have the subdivision standards in the two pagers for all the zones. 17 00:02:25,186 --> 00:02:31,689 - we've added this language excluding administrative subdivisions for buildable area requirements and 18 00:02:31,689 --> 00:02:38,191 - the reason is because though we strive to have all developments and subdivisions in the county have 19 00:02:38,191 --> 00:02:44,824 - buildable area administrative subdivisions are unique in that they're not really creating developable 20 00:02:44,824 --> 00:02:49,246 - lots they're shifting lot lines typically and so what you have is a 21 00:02:49,378 --> 00:02:55,147 - usually people have built over lot lines and they're in a tough spot in that they need to make sure 22 00:02:55,147 --> 00:03:01,263 - their structures are on their property and they can't always comply with the rest of the code and they'll 23 00:03:01,263 --> 00:03:07,493 - get variances later but the administrative subdivision section they can't always comply with that buildable 24 00:03:07,493 --> 00:03:13,320 - area because you may be starting out with a half acre and a half acre and they just don't have it so 25 00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:18,974 - we want to still keep it flexible because the purpose of those administrative subdivisions are to 26 00:03:19,074 --> 00:03:28,772 - fix encroachments oftentimes. The next change that we have is to our use table. So we've changed temporary 27 00:03:28,772 --> 00:03:37,926 - or seasonal activity to be permitted with standards in the residential zone. Those do have standards 28 00:03:37,926 --> 00:03:47,262 - associated with them. And then we've also changed on page 101 of the sporting goods stores requirement 29 00:03:47,362 --> 00:03:55,071 - that we have to allow it in the limited business and general business districts. Then I do want to point 30 00:03:55,071 --> 00:04:02,413 - out we are making a change to allow bus terminal in the heavy industrial district. This is a change 31 00:04:02,413 --> 00:04:09,902 - because we've heard that the city has purchased a property on profile parkway and there is the zoning 32 00:04:09,902 --> 00:04:15,262 - there that's heavy industrial does not currently allow for bus terminal. 33 00:04:15,586 --> 00:04:24,424 - We want to get ahead of that and we think that use is reasonable in that zone based on the comprehensive 34 00:04:24,424 --> 00:04:32,925 - plan. Then the indoor shooting range by state law, we are required to allow that in the APR district 35 00:04:32,925 --> 00:04:41,595 - with standards and those standards are also listed below. The next change that we have related to this 36 00:04:41,595 --> 00:04:45,214 - is we are adding the sporting goods stores 37 00:04:45,634 --> 00:04:53,425 - standards and they're associated with the retail sales standards. So we've just added that language 38 00:04:53,425 --> 00:05:01,294 - in there to be clear. And then the change regarding the indoor shooting range. This is straight from 39 00:05:01,294 --> 00:05:09,163 - the state code, so we're required to expand the numbers of this permitted in and then they also gave 40 00:05:09,163 --> 00:05:15,006 - us the language for which we have to abide by. So this now is aligned with 41 00:05:15,298 --> 00:05:24,110 - state code changes. The next bigger change in the code is to the wireless communication facility section. 42 00:05:24,110 --> 00:05:32,589 - The state has changed it so that we can no longer regulate based on height. So we are differentiating 43 00:05:32,589 --> 00:05:40,986 - the process for wireless communication facilities, cell towers, based on concealment or zone. So now 44 00:05:40,986 --> 00:05:43,646 - if you're doing a new concealed 45 00:05:44,130 --> 00:05:51,462 - tower you're allowed everywhere except for we still have the right to regulate airport zones because 46 00:05:51,462 --> 00:05:59,229 - of the height restrictions. But non concealed wireless support structures in residential rural residential 47 00:05:59,229 --> 00:06:05,182 - or institutional public zones are required now to have conditional use approvals. 48 00:06:05,698 --> 00:06:12,200 - since we cannot differentiate again based on height. It used to be if they were concealed or 60 feet 49 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:18,638 - or less, they could go in any district. But now if you have a 200 foot tower in a rural residential 50 00:06:18,638 --> 00:06:25,075 - zone and it's not going to be concealed, then we're asking for conditional use approval, which will 51 00:06:25,075 --> 00:06:31,642 - mean that neighbors will be notified upon application. We do have an update to our imagery here where 52 00:06:31,642 --> 00:06:32,350 - we're just 53 00:06:32,994 --> 00:06:40,236 - you know, update their code to accommodate or to show some of the newer cell technologies. So there's 54 00:06:40,236 --> 00:06:47,407 - small cell facilities now, oftentimes in the right of way. So that would just be highway code. But a 55 00:06:47,407 --> 00:06:54,649 - lot of times what we're seeing are these large monopole non-concealed towers in the county. I do want 56 00:06:54,649 --> 00:07:01,962 - to mention in our research with the Plan Commission that if they propose a tower at 200 feet of height 57 00:07:01,962 --> 00:07:02,814 - or greater, 58 00:07:03,362 --> 00:07:10,034 - They have to go through the FAA no matter where they are. So we do think that that additional burden 59 00:07:10,034 --> 00:07:16,837 - timeline cost will still drive the development hopefully to stay at that 199 foot threshold that we've 60 00:07:16,837 --> 00:07:23,773 - previously had and been able to administer. And then there's just some other pictures. Here's an example 61 00:07:23,773 --> 00:07:29,982 - of a concealed wireless tower. And there's some other examples elsewhere in the code as well. 62 00:07:31,682 --> 00:07:40,090 - And then on page 174 of the packet, there is some information on what we're allowed to ask during the 63 00:07:40,090 --> 00:07:48,415 - conditional use process upon reviewing a cell facility. There are some things that we're not allowed 64 00:07:48,415 --> 00:07:56,658 - to ask for, such as wireless coverage, capacity, speeds, things like that. We're not allowed to ask 65 00:07:56,658 --> 00:08:00,862 - those questions. So just clarify that for the BTA. 66 00:08:02,146 --> 00:08:09,276 - And then finally, in this chapter, we made some clarifications on setbacks. One of the things that we 67 00:08:09,276 --> 00:08:16,267 - have found in reviewing these is that they want to locate in an area near the property line. And so 68 00:08:16,267 --> 00:08:23,467 - one of the things that we're still able to regulate is for them to establish a fall zone. Now the fall 69 00:08:23,467 --> 00:08:27,102 - zone is if the tower were to collapse or fall over, 70 00:08:27,362 --> 00:08:34,628 - How is it engineered to collapse and what is that distance from the cell towers base that it would fall? 71 00:08:34,628 --> 00:08:41,963 - We're able to regulate that they have to push that tower back from the property line by the fall distance 72 00:08:41,963 --> 00:08:49,091 - or the fall zone. And also we can regulate a regular zoning setback. So if they bring us an engineered 73 00:08:49,091 --> 00:08:56,011 - plan that says the tower actually collapses in on itself and there's a zero foot fall zone, we have 74 00:08:56,011 --> 00:08:57,118 - to accept that. 75 00:08:57,634 --> 00:09:05,418 - So in order to still keep some proximity between the property line and the cell tower, we're establishing 76 00:09:05,418 --> 00:09:13,129 - a zone setback for whichever zone they're in. And then we're also asking that any generator, which could 77 00:09:13,129 --> 00:09:20,839 - be diesel operated and cause some noise, be the furthest away from the property lines as possible within 78 00:09:20,839 --> 00:09:26,494 - the equipment compound area. So this combined with the language above states 79 00:09:27,074 --> 00:09:35,625 - the setback rules. And then moving on, we do have some changes to our sidewalk section. This is a change 80 00:09:35,625 --> 00:09:44,257 - driven by staff. We want to make it very clear for people that are applying specifically for subdivisions 81 00:09:44,257 --> 00:09:52,400 - when a sidewalk is and is not required. So we are taking out the language under D here, and it is a 82 00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:55,902 - little bit redundant with what was item E. 83 00:09:56,386 --> 00:10:05,753 - And then also we've clarified item a, so we're trying to keep it to a mileage delineation because that's 84 00:10:05,753 --> 00:10:14,941 - a little bit more clear for people applying as to when things are. Being prompted as a requirement and 85 00:10:14,941 --> 00:10:16,190 - then finally. 86 00:10:16,674 --> 00:10:24,389 - Most of the remaining changes are state code requirements and they're in the removal of a member also 87 00:10:24,389 --> 00:10:32,710 - to the definition section. So I'll just bring us back to the total list of revisions and those are enumerated 88 00:10:32,710 --> 00:10:40,350 - here and just very much the language that the state has provided us with. So these are the remaining 89 00:10:40,350 --> 00:10:46,174 - changes and I'm happy to answer any questions. All right, thank you so much. 90 00:10:46,978 --> 00:10:54,449 - No, thank you for the very thorough description. And sorry, we have to update the code in some of these 91 00:10:54,449 --> 00:11:01,633 - ways, but that's inevitable. So. Yep. Did the best you could, right? Absolutely. Thank you. And I'm 92 00:11:01,633 --> 00:11:08,960 - really interested in the tower fall lines. And I found that fascinating. And thank you for explaining 93 00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:13,342 - that. Something I've wondered about for a while. Yeah. Yeah. 94 00:11:14,050 --> 00:11:22,819 - we have another item as well. But when do you do you want to hear doesn't matter. We can just pass these 95 00:11:22,819 --> 00:11:31,337 - through the 22nd would work for this one. Okay. If that works for you, we can do the 22nd of October. 96 00:11:31,337 --> 00:11:39,938 - Okay. Excellent. All right. Um, and, um, if you have questions in the meantime, just contact planning. 97 00:11:39,938 --> 00:11:44,030 - Um, and then let's move on to ordinance 2026-40. 98 00:11:51,522 --> 00:12:00,197 - So this is just a work session item for a error in our zoning map. During the CDO update, we had taken 99 00:12:00,197 --> 00:12:08,620 - on the prior zoning maps boundaries for things like PUDs. And one of the things that we've recently 100 00:12:08,620 --> 00:12:15,358 - found out for a specific two parcels is that the legal description for this PUD 101 00:12:15,554 --> 00:12:23,445 - did not include the parcels that we accidentally zoned PUD. So there's a required correction and the 102 00:12:23,445 --> 00:12:31,571 - plan commission is authoring this correction since it is an error. So the plan commission met and voted 103 00:12:31,571 --> 00:12:40,010 - to send this to the commissioners with a favorable recommendation that the property be rezoned to community 104 00:12:40,010 --> 00:12:43,838 - development, which is a zoning district that has 105 00:12:44,322 --> 00:12:51,532 - For instance, a development standard of a minimum lot size of 0.21 acres. The properties that we're 106 00:12:51,532 --> 00:12:59,030 - talking about are each over an acre and they are located in sort of a higher density area and they also 107 00:12:59,030 --> 00:13:06,312 - have some constraints on them. So one of the reasons for the plan commission's recommendation to the 108 00:13:06,312 --> 00:13:11,070 - CD district and not a high development district is because of the 109 00:13:11,682 --> 00:13:21,218 - location in the Sinking Creek Critical Watershed, impervious cover standards for the two different zones, 110 00:13:21,218 --> 00:13:30,484 - as well as the mapped floodway on the property, one of the properties involved. So I will just briefly 111 00:13:30,484 --> 00:13:40,830 - show a few maps here for this property to show you where it is located. So this is in Van Buren Township, you have 112 00:13:40,962 --> 00:13:48,288 - the western estates PD, which include a manufactured home park and some high density development directly 113 00:13:48,288 --> 00:13:55,406 - to the south. And then as you'll see on the zoning map, this area here is community development, which 114 00:13:55,406 --> 00:14:02,386 - is what this is recommended to be rezoned to. And then you also have the karst farm trail just right 115 00:14:02,386 --> 00:14:08,606 - up here that's accessible to folks. There were not any comments by highway or stormwater. 116 00:14:08,834 --> 00:14:16,239 - just that if any future development were to occur, make sure to continue to use the Sierra Drive access 117 00:14:16,239 --> 00:14:23,572 - point and that Stormwater would need to do a full review for future development at any time. So again, 118 00:14:23,572 --> 00:14:31,191 - this is PUD zoning in error. So the plan commission is authoring the request to be CD zoning. The property 119 00:14:31,191 --> 00:14:34,110 - owners are in the process of selling it. 120 00:14:34,498 --> 00:14:42,550 - and they would like to have the highest and best use for which the property was appraised, which is 121 00:14:42,550 --> 00:14:50,601 - the HD zoning district. And the property is currently connected to sewer and water, but we have not 122 00:14:50,601 --> 00:14:58,975 - had a submission from them stating that they would be approved for CBU to be able to increase the sewer 123 00:14:58,975 --> 00:15:03,806 - or water capacity to the site to support a high development 124 00:15:06,754 --> 00:15:13,689 - So here is an aerial of the property. There's a single-family home and a pool on one property, 125 00:15:13,689 --> 00:15:21,134 - a single-family home, detached garage with a dwelling above in this area. And then the floodway is to 126 00:15:21,134 --> 00:15:28,434 - the west here. So zoom out. Here's the property. It does have constraints on the west side, but not 127 00:15:28,434 --> 00:15:31,646 - in the area that they're already built out. 128 00:15:32,514 --> 00:15:40,091 - We have worked with the owners of the property and understand that different buyers want different things. 129 00:15:40,091 --> 00:15:47,243 - The CD district would allow some redevelopment if they chose to do so, but they would likely need to 130 00:15:47,243 --> 00:15:54,537 - go through the subdivision process. There is some limited high-density development that they could do, 131 00:15:54,537 --> 00:16:01,406 - but they would need to have sewer capacity to do so. So that is kind of the summary of these two 132 00:16:01,506 --> 00:16:09,523 - and what the plan commission is brought for you. So if you have any questions, I'm happy to answer those. 133 00:16:09,523 --> 00:16:17,389 - Thank you so much. Any questions? No, thank you for the detailed description. There was a bit of debate 134 00:16:17,389 --> 00:16:24,952 - about HD or CD, and they can always come back and ask for HD, and we'd have to assess it. But given 135 00:16:24,952 --> 00:16:31,230 - the floodplain, the limited site size, and of course, the Sinking Creek watershed, 136 00:16:32,642 --> 00:16:41,949 - decision. The decision was CD. So do you want to hear this on the 22nd as well? It was 29th. 137 00:16:41,949 --> 00:16:52,158 - Do you have a? Either. Um do you? Do you know? Well, I guess since it's our petition, isn't it? I was 138 00:16:52,158 --> 00:16:57,662 - gonna say we don't have a petitioner. It is us. Um the 139 00:16:59,842 --> 00:17:05,801 - the 22nd or the 29th. I'll be here on the 22nd, so doesn't matter to me. Well, either one. All right, 140 00:17:05,801 --> 00:17:11,876 - let's let's do it on the 22nd. Let's see if we can do it. I've got I know there's a couple other things 141 00:17:11,876 --> 00:17:17,835 - on our agenda, so it's going to say menu. You tell I haven't had breakfast. A couple of the things on 142 00:17:17,835 --> 00:17:23,735 - our agenda, but yeah, let's just do them all in the 22nd then and and and again if we have questions 143 00:17:23,735 --> 00:17:29,694 - will contact you directly. Sounds good. Thank you so much. Thanks for sticking around. Appreciate it. 144 00:17:29,922 --> 00:17:40,642 - All right. Let's talk about the holiday calendar, since planning is very interested in that as well. 145 00:17:40,642 --> 00:17:52,105 - Yes. Okay, so I present to you guys the resolution 2026-38, which is establishing the 2027 holiday schedule 146 00:17:52,105 --> 00:17:58,686 - for county employees. And since 2027 is a municipal election, 147 00:17:58,818 --> 00:18:06,906 - those dates are not part of the holiday schedule. However, upon your approval, those two dates, plus 148 00:18:06,906 --> 00:18:15,154 - the fact that Christmas Day is on a Saturday, you would provide three floating holidays that employees 149 00:18:15,154 --> 00:18:23,483 - can elect to use, obviously, upon approval of their supervisor, but throughout the year, how they would 150 00:18:23,483 --> 00:18:26,846 - like to best use those. Great. Thank you. 151 00:18:27,586 --> 00:18:39,801 - for you. Um one of the questions was about July 2nd versus July 5th. We will July 5th. Is that work 152 00:18:39,801 --> 00:18:52,261 - for you? Yes. Okay. All right. Um that was right after the fourth. Yeah. Um. Are you ready to approve 153 00:18:52,261 --> 00:18:56,414 - it? Yes. Okay I'm going to make a 154 00:18:56,770 --> 00:19:08,185 - motion. All right. We have a motion and we have a second. Um anything else we need to Okay. Any public 155 00:19:08,185 --> 00:19:19,490 - comment on this item? You raise your hand on teams or come to the podium. All right. Seeing none. All 156 00:19:19,490 --> 00:19:25,918 - those in favor proving 2027 holiday schedule signified by 157 00:19:26,178 --> 00:19:33,774 - when planning puts their calendar together, petitions start coming in. Now they're going to be heard 158 00:19:33,774 --> 00:19:41,370 - in 27. So we, you know, the courts always want it. The courts want it. Yeah. All right. So then this 159 00:19:41,370 --> 00:19:49,042 - will go to the courts. It'll go everywhere it needs to go. Right. Thank you so much. Another thing we 160 00:19:49,042 --> 00:19:55,134 - wanted to discuss and consider making a motion for would be a letter to the, um, 161 00:19:55,266 --> 00:20:08,806 - and the town of Ellisville Council. So I, Mr. Cockrell provided this information to highway and sheriffs 162 00:20:08,806 --> 00:20:20,670 - and had resounding agreement with it. So this is not something we're just doing on our own. 163 00:20:24,674 --> 00:20:30,287 - have is this, and I'll go ahead and read it, because it's short. The Monroe County Board of Commissioners 164 00:20:30,287 --> 00:20:35,847 - have reviewed the draft plan for the reorganization of Ellsville and Richland Township, and that's April 165 00:20:35,847 --> 00:20:41,142 - of 2026. The plan includes the following. The organized town shall provide services administered by 166 00:20:41,142 --> 00:20:46,649 - a town, including but not limited to police and fire, emergency medical services, parks and recreation, 167 00:20:46,649 --> 00:20:52,156 - land use, planning and zoning, designated utility services, and road and street maintenance. And that's 168 00:20:52,156 --> 00:20:53,374 - a quote from the plan. 169 00:20:53,538 --> 00:21:00,387 - If the referendum is approved by the voters of Elstville and Richland Township, it is our understanding 170 00:21:00,387 --> 00:21:07,104 - that police services Stormwater and Highway, Road Street throughout Richland Township will become the 171 00:21:07,104 --> 00:21:13,888 - sole responsibility of the reorganized town on January 1st, 2027. And then a note as well, we maintain 172 00:21:13,888 --> 00:21:20,737 - control and authority over county parks and trails located in Richland Township. Are you all right with 173 00:21:20,737 --> 00:21:22,910 - that, Litter? Yes. Is that okay? 174 00:21:23,554 --> 00:21:30,913 - Yeah, I think it's accurate. I mean, I think maybe the purpose of this is I had heard from some of the 175 00:21:30,913 --> 00:21:38,415 - commissioners that they were getting questions about who's going to operate these services in that area, 176 00:21:38,415 --> 00:21:45,703 - depending on the vote. So I think this just clarifies it. And from your perspective, as the plan says 177 00:21:45,703 --> 00:21:46,846 - this, we expect 178 00:21:47,714 --> 00:21:55,522 - other than the one caveat is we're going to keep our parks because we own them and things like that. 179 00:21:55,522 --> 00:22:03,330 - And I think a lot of this comes out of there's such a broad debate about this reorganization and I'm 180 00:22:03,330 --> 00:22:11,370 - glad that people in Richland Township and specifically in Ellesville are paying attention because there 181 00:22:11,370 --> 00:22:16,318 - is an increase in property taxes and that sort of was the focus 182 00:22:16,834 --> 00:22:25,255 - of the reorganization plan and oh, it's a average home, it's $12 a month. Okay, $6 a month, okay. But 183 00:22:25,255 --> 00:22:33,925 - the problem is the reorganization plan did not consider the local income tax and under the way the state 184 00:22:33,925 --> 00:22:42,346 - legislature in its infinite wisdom has designed it, property taxes will fund less of local government 185 00:22:42,346 --> 00:22:45,566 - and local income tax will fund more of 186 00:22:46,018 --> 00:22:58,168 - in the future. And when that happens. Counties. Um. As of now in the legislation because everything 187 00:22:58,168 --> 00:23:10,440 - changes with this legislature and not in a good way out, but. As things stand now under the standard 188 00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:15,422 - schema for using a local income tax. The 189 00:23:15,554 --> 00:23:26,580 - in the city. Um 1.7% Um and the town. Which includes what they call rural and urban Ellisville. It's 190 00:23:26,580 --> 00:23:37,497 - all part of the town. Could pay as much as 1.2 in lit, and that's in addition to what they would be 191 00:23:37,497 --> 00:23:44,702 - paying because they're still county residents paying that lit. Um 192 00:23:45,122 --> 00:23:56,310 - the fire district. Um. Structurally. Um so that part hasn't been and then they had a forum last week 193 00:23:56,310 --> 00:24:07,830 - and the forums seem to be really focused on this fire district thing. So, um, be. Fire territory. Sorry 194 00:24:07,830 --> 00:24:14,366 - because, um. If the reorganization doesn't happen, they're 195 00:24:14,882 --> 00:24:27,698 - and. And part of the. Cell for reorganizing is well, look how much more fire territory costs than if 196 00:24:27,698 --> 00:24:40,894 - we reorganize and we're one unit. The problem is that. As of we think 2029. There is a point to lit for 197 00:24:41,154 --> 00:24:49,828 - is divided up that money's collected and that's a local income tax and is divided up by population. 198 00:24:49,828 --> 00:24:58,588 - There's a whole bit in there about size of square miles plus population. There's a equation actually 199 00:24:58,588 --> 00:25:08,043 - in the legislation. So worrying about that is a short term worry. It's just important that people understand 200 00:25:08,043 --> 00:25:10,558 - all of this and I think that 201 00:25:11,170 --> 00:25:24,258 - that. Um. You know, it's too bad that that it's come down to. There's really no information. I for me 202 00:25:24,258 --> 00:25:35,550 - what worries me the most. Is that. The referendum is at the beginning of November. And. 203 00:25:36,994 --> 00:25:52,985 - and I hope they can do it because. I would scare me. Um because you have to have. Have to have police, 204 00:25:52,985 --> 00:26:05,406 - um. Employed and trained and ready to go. It's a lot to ask. It's a lot to ask. 205 00:26:05,794 --> 00:26:12,813 - there were some comments made at some of the town council meetings about, well, sheriff's department 206 00:26:12,813 --> 00:26:19,831 - will still be covering originally. I don't think, no, it's not gonna happen. So it's important to do 207 00:26:19,831 --> 00:26:26,781 - that. So I'm gonna go ahead, if you're okay with the language, I'm gonna go ahead and make a motion 208 00:26:26,781 --> 00:26:32,062 - that we approve this letter to the town of Elstville and Richland Township. 209 00:26:32,770 --> 00:26:38,645 - be sent to them. What else am I missing? I just want to because I talked to some of the Sheriff's Department 210 00:26:38,645 --> 00:26:44,197 - people and I think the thought is that they will treat this new one the same way they treat Alex Hill. 211 00:26:44,197 --> 00:26:49,587 - So if there's a huge emergency or anything like that they're not going to turn their backs, they're 212 00:26:49,587 --> 00:26:54,654 - going to support the law enforcement. I wanted to make sure that was clear that this is not a 213 00:26:54,850 --> 00:27:00,642 - we're gonna take the ball and go home. This is a, you're taking this responsibility and we're still 214 00:27:00,642 --> 00:27:06,434 - gonna perform the same services we always have, right? And we have always, our sheriff's department 215 00:27:06,434 --> 00:27:12,574 - has always helped out in events when necessary and that's not gonna change. But the question is a primary 216 00:27:12,574 --> 00:27:18,540 - responsibility and the same thing with fire because there's mutual aid and fire as well. And that will 217 00:27:18,540 --> 00:27:24,158 - continue. There's nothing saying you're out of luck. Yeah, so I'm glad you said that, thank you. 218 00:27:24,898 --> 00:27:30,873 - Yeah. The Sheriff's Department feels very strongly about that. Yes, absolutely. And they do, 219 00:27:30,873 --> 00:27:37,297 - they do a lot, they're active in Ellsville. I mean, listen to Scanner, they're active in Ellsville. 220 00:27:37,297 --> 00:27:43,978 - They do a lot there. So, and we appreciate their willingness to work anywhere in the county. And I know 221 00:27:43,978 --> 00:27:49,310 - they work with BPD as well. So, okay. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Cockrell. Did you? 222 00:27:52,162 --> 00:27:59,533 - So I second. Sorry. Oh, no, you're fine. I just thought Jeff was like ready to explode. I was like, 223 00:27:59,533 --> 00:28:07,052 - I'm going to ask him for a motion. All right, we have a motion and a second. Any comment on this? You 224 00:28:07,052 --> 00:28:14,791 - can raise your hand on teams or come to the podium. Thanks. Seeing none, all those in favor of approving 225 00:28:14,791 --> 00:28:21,278 - this letter, signify by saying aye. Aye. Motion carries to zero. Thank you for waiting. 226 00:28:21,506 --> 00:28:32,071 - Thank you. All right. Do we have anything else for work session? Are we good? Good All right. Great 227 00:28:32,071 --> 00:28:41,790 - A reminder that our regular meeting was recessed until Friday tomorrow, October 9th at 3 45
