[6:11] all right for the question of discussion all the papers
[6:15] say hi caries all right next up uh we need to talk
[6:23] about i meant to do this last name i forgot we um
[6:28] historically we have been closed court hospital closed on friday that
[6:32] all the apple butter festivities start mostly due to congestion and traffic and
[6:39] just they need parking lots and it just
[6:41] becomes a real mess if we're in here and working so
[6:43] we've been closing on that day unfortunately as we all know the apple
[6:47] water festival has been canceled for 2020.
[6:51] so the discussion that we have is basically we're going to we are going to
[6:56] be open on friday october 9th
[7:00] i'll throughout my opinion i believe we should probably be open that day
[7:05] we already closed on monday and um i know it's a nice four-day
[7:09] weekend but
[7:13] closing was because of all the trafficking
[7:17] i think since that's canceled right that's my opinion does anybody have a
[7:20] different opinion
[7:24] all right i attended a motion into to open the courthouse at the courthouse
[7:28] open um and as always
[7:32] i'll throw this caveat as always someone had something planned or something like
[7:36] that i mean it's always a program of the elected official to do
[7:39] what they need to do but if the courthouse is open in the office
[7:54] on friday october the 9th due to apocalypse we'll make a mission
[8:00] to approve the courthouse on friday october
[8:06] all right for a question with a special emotion all in favor single pop saying
[8:10] hi
[8:21] fairfax street all right
[8:36] all right so this is the uh this is the property over here behind i believe
[8:40] behind bb correct and this is property that
[8:45] the trump family owns and they basically let us use that property
[8:50] all they ask for in return is that you pay them the amount that they have to
[8:54] pay for the property taxes so that's how it's been for every year
[8:58] since i've been here um for the record that amount is 1
[9:04] 230 and 24 cents that equals the amount of property taxes they pay for that
[9:10] property maintain a motion to
[9:15] authorize the commission president to sign the lease
[9:18] with a trump family to lease that parking lot
[9:22] from the corner of mercer fairfax in the amount of 1
[9:27] 230 20 portions make a mission to authorize commissioner president to
[9:33] execute the lease with the trump family a lot of crime on the corner of fairfax
[9:39] commercial street in the amount of 1230 dollars and 24 cents
[9:44] anybody question discussion over motion all those people are saying aye aye
[9:59] all right now we're up to the fun parts end items are up next uh we have some
[10:05] wonderful ladies from the community here from the daughters of the american red
[10:08] revolution and they are here to make a proclamation declaring september 17th
[10:14] through the 23rd as constitutional week here in morgan
[10:18] county so we do have a proclamation here
[10:23] the resolution i guess it is but i think some of them have some
[10:27] a couple things they'd like to say so if you all don't mind if i'll turn the
[10:30] floor over to you i'll just remind you that we can read
[10:33] that but the camera's rolling so you guys can talk to
[10:36] talk to the folks that are watching well first thank you very much
[10:52] i believe in the united states of america
[10:55] as a government of the people by the people
[11:04] a democracy in the republic the sovereign nation of many sovereign
[11:10] states the blind perfect inseparable
[11:15] established upon those principles of freedom
[11:18] equality justice and humanity for which american patriots sacrifice
[11:25] their lives and fortunes i therefore believe it is my duty
[11:30] to my country to love it to support its constitution
[11:35] to obey its laws to accept its flag and to demand it
[11:43] thank you all so much all right so we have
[11:47] uh in addition we have our proclamation here
[11:50] and i'll agree because it's pretty short um whereas september 17 2020 marks the
[11:55] 233rd anniversary of the drafting of the constitutional united states of america
[11:59] by constitutional prevention and whereas it is fitting the proper to
[12:02] report official recognition of this magnificent document and its memorable
[12:05] anniversary into the patriarch celebrations which
[12:08] will commemorate and whereas public law 9-15 guarantees
[12:12] additional proclamation each year by the president of the united states of
[12:15] america designating september 17th through 23rd as constitutional week now
[12:20] therefore we by virtue of the authority is the old county commission
[12:24] hereby proclaim the week of september 17th through the 23rd
[12:27] as constitutionally and ask our citizens to reaffirm the ideals
[12:32] of the framework that the framers of the constitution had
[12:35] in 1787 by visually protecting the freedoms guaranteed to us through this
[12:40] guardian of our liberties remembering that lost rights may never
[12:43] be regained and then i entertain a motion to approve
[12:48] um the resolution has read make a mission
[12:52] to approve the proclamation all right this is for again for making
[13:00] uh proclaiming september 17th to 23rd constitutional
[13:03] week here in northern county
[13:17] oh absolutely
[13:32] just
[13:37] [Music]
[13:57] all right
[14:56] oh
[15:10] oh
[15:18] [Music]
[15:23] thank you thank you very much thank you thank you thank you
[15:32] i hope so honey it's been terrible
[15:53] banking administrator um steve's witness from cmd bank
[15:56] and i'll ask you if you don't mind to come up and um
[16:00] i mean i know you're speaking to us and i know i've heard some of this but these
[16:04] children probably don't know exactly what the kind of background is behind
[16:10] what you guys are trying to accomplish here so if you want to
[16:13] if you just want to kind of speak to us just kind of speak across so they can
[16:17] hear you out there personally absolutely so the idea behind
[16:20] an administrator you guys already do have
[16:23] an administrator the idea behind an administrator is to
[16:27] manage the digital environment as far as who has access
[16:31] online and what that assets consists of so it's a completely customizable
[16:36] environment where one person would go in and create users
[16:40] delete users change user abilities and
[16:44] they're right now there's a clear process in regards to how that
[16:49] should work within the account so the idea being that a process be created
[16:54] where there's an authorization request and an authorization approval or deny
[17:01] and that's a documented system and the records can be kept on and says
[17:06] okay you should have access to which account
[17:08] in that online banking environment and what should they be able to do while
[17:11] they're there so that's that's really the idea behind
[17:14] this and it's ensure that there's efficiency in the
[17:18] process and that every shareholder knows some kind of access to
[17:23] the accounts and why they need that access to the
[17:26] account it could be the only access it could be transferred from that access
[17:30] it is what starts who can do what the other thing i get behind is the
[17:36] assignment of an administrator and every cash management or online
[17:40] banking customer seeing the event has an administrator assigned to it and
[17:45] this is just kind of formalizing that process
[17:47] within the shares account okay so i mean i know you guys know this but
[17:52] you get those uh get those sheets every month from ken
[17:56] and all those funds that are on there a lot
[18:00] of them at least now some of them are not but a lot of them
[18:02] are actually different bank accounts like they
[18:05] like farmland for instance um i'm only saying that to say that we
[18:12] have the general account and most different things we do
[18:14] most most of the business we transact in here on a
[18:18] week-to-week basis pay a roll all those things
[18:21] come in all the revenues mostly come in and out of
[18:24] the general account now you'll have my president's wholesale money will come in
[18:28] that's an infinitely separate account um one of these for a lot of these
[18:32] accounts like the county clerk's office controls a lot
[18:37] of what goes on in this account and we have a lot of them as well that
[18:40] the county
[19:00] but the thing is heather heather doesn't even have any
[19:05] authorization to use any of the accounts receipt or do much of anything in all
[19:08] the accounts that are controlled over the sheriff's tax
[19:11] office so it was suggested by the bank that we come up with a process where
[19:15] we kind of have somebody who is kind of like out of the
[19:18] kind of outcome for the money so to speak that's kind of
[19:22] a science who can do what in these accounts um
[19:26] and we came up with it would be a good idea to have our county administrator
[19:31] be the banking administrator that way anybody that has a request you know we
[19:37] have to go through them and we would be aware of who was asking
[19:42] to be able to do what and what accounts i mean some people will need an account
[19:45] so they can only see them some people can get into the accounts
[19:48] they can write checks some people are not transferring money
[19:51] you know but then some people are so that way we would be able to keep a
[19:55] record of that you can do one on those accounts so i
[19:58] mean i don't know if i've explained it properly but yeah absolutely and
[20:02] certainly you know with the size of accounts that
[20:04] have the number of accounts that you have
[20:06] and the number of folks that have access to those accounts
[20:09] it's definitely best to have a procedure in which you can manage that access
[20:14] you know our customers run the variance and size of smaller customers who only
[20:18] have two or three users certainly that's a lot easier for them
[20:21] to manage however you you guys have you know over 20 i
[20:25] believe 27 accounts at this point in time
[20:28] and uh it's important to keep in mind that
[20:31] with all of those different sciences that are
[21:01] the process to write check so people who have to write the checks
[21:04] uh which is of course the clerk's office i think giving them the right checks as
[21:07] well and new transfers for sure um they
[21:10] really shouldn't be the ones that are also giving themselves
[21:14] the authority to do it so by taking that and putting that in the commission
[21:19] office it will give us a kind of a way to kind of have a good
[21:23] a good handle on it and also have a paper trail and we're about to create
[21:26] the process totally by ourselves and these guys have a process that other
[21:30] folks use that that will work we do we probably are
[21:33] going to have to officially adopt you know a boilerplate policy that
[21:38] they might help us put together um a future meeting here
[21:41] soon just to just have our process down and then we
[21:44] can distribute that and then folks would know
[21:47] um but we have everything squared away to start with
[21:50] the way we basically the way it is now there won't be a lot you know
[21:54] there's a lot of activity in this we don't have a lot of people changing
[21:58] it's only if you have changing in people's duties or you might
[22:01] you know you can't retire one day and then of course everything changes you
[22:05] know things like that but we'll get it all
[22:07] set up squared away to start with but then we'll follow a procedure
[22:11] that's basically trackable all right so um this mean i think we could just go
[22:18] ahead and make the appointment of the cmb online banking administrator
[22:22] county and then future meeting will adopt a policy that
[22:29] kind of uh outlines the steps taken to
[22:33] have people work or add permissions to certain
[22:37] accounts so i'll our measurement to approve the canada administrator
[22:42] as the morgan academy's cnb online banking administrator
[22:46] i'll make a blessing to prove our administrator
[22:50] to be the only administrators
[23:02] um he's also here for the next item on the agenda
[23:06] which is a discussion about a citadel bank
[23:09] now this is a probably a little more complicated
[23:14] yeah i have my package still for me
[23:34] um there's a couple of particular points
[23:39] to consider moving to this this type of account
[23:46] there's three advantages that i you know that i
[23:50] i can think of the simplest easiest way to explain things one
[23:53] fdic insurance although insurance is 250 000
[23:57] as you guys know we have quite a bit more dollars
[24:00] particularly our general account at any one given time
[24:15] second thing is that this type of account
[24:18] i don't know if a steep account is the right term
[24:21] that's i think what people would recognize it as it's a type of account
[24:25] that um over a certain threshold will put
[24:28] money into kind of a side account that gains
[24:30] interest so more on a daily basis you've got you know a chunk of that money
[24:35] in an interest varying account where now the entire general account just sitting
[24:38] in a very very very low interest bearing account really doesn't
[24:42] it really doesn't produce any interest to speak of and then thirdly by putting
[24:47] money in this and he wants to explain this a
[24:50] little better it allows the bank in some way to
[24:55] have permission to use money they exist to be able to load money
[24:59] and that allows them to be able to use that particular money money that's in
[25:02] our accounts to load them that doesn't mean they're loading our
[25:05] money out but it allows them to have higher threshold
[25:08] money to loan out to local folks local businesses
[25:12] at the end of the day kind of helps out the community in that way um
[25:16] you might have to explain that a little better but that's that's an ad benefit
[25:19] as well i mean there's no it's not that they get any preference
[25:23] for a load because we have this money in this account
[25:29] fdic insurance is capped 200 000 so west canadian state code requires
[25:35] that all virginia entities public entities where
[25:39] public tax dollars are deposited with institutions
[25:43] they're going to be secure so there is a security measure in place
[25:47] and it comes in the form of a lock so we're purchasing a bond
[25:51] based on your needs as far as security for your deposits and your actual
[25:56] balances and that bond is being purchased by cmb
[25:59] bank in our name and it's transferred over to your name
[26:03] and then our failure so they didn't have to be listed as the
[26:06] beneficiary of that bond that we're purchasing
[26:09] so we are purchasing a bond and that bond is usually
[26:12] it's a public another propaganda purchasing
[26:15] but it does act as security that means west virginia state code for making sure
[26:18] your deposits are secured with us one of the problems with that with that
[26:23] bond is that it's a marketable security it can lose value or
[26:27] gain value certainly but in the sense that
[26:31] if there is a financial emergency that is occurring in nationwide
[26:35] economic disaster and banks are closing usually that bond value is going to
[26:39] probably go down on the open market so you're going to hold the security
[26:43] that is going to most likely be losing value at the time
[26:46] if we were to fail okay and this is all again based on worst
[26:51] we're very financially sound and i do remember information factored in there
[26:54] about our financial uh performance last year
[26:58] so this is all really just a neat nature
[27:01] mean state code to making sure that the public tax dollars are secured property
[27:06] so that's bond is what we currently have in closed
[27:09] the citadel account is um taking that bond and reducing it or
[27:14] eliminating it and allowing those funds to become ftic
[27:18] insured 100 percent fbic insurance the network
[27:22] the citadel network can can fds insure up to 30 million dollars
[27:27] of deposit that's down to a network of banks and
[27:31] basically the is that we're stalking the fantasy
[27:34] insurance certificates with a network event and in that packet i have included
[27:38] a list of those banks that are participants in the network
[27:41] okay so what this does is it allows for a
[27:45] safer amount of insurance and security costs because
[27:49] as far as insurance is concerned fbsc insurance is
[27:54] by far no superior method because it is six percent can be guaranteed
[28:00] so that's important to know um so when we talk about uh cbd's balance
[28:06] sheets for a moment when we purchase that bond those funds
[28:10] are leaving the event really only purchasing a
[28:13] security with those funds when we do that those funds are leaving
[28:18] a local community and we're not allowed to lend money
[28:22] against those homes this product keeps those deposits on
[28:26] cnb's balance sheet which means that they're available for
[28:29] our local levy members and that's through our footprint here in
[28:33] the eastern panhandle of course morgan county as well
[28:36] and those deposits are going to stay on our balance sheet and that means we're
[28:39] allowed to lend them out to local businesses local individuals
[28:43] mortgages car loans business owners you name it
[28:46] all these living activities that seem humane
[28:48] performs your deposits will be available for those efforts
[28:52] so that's the community aspect of keeping the money here in morgan county
[28:56] as opposed to sending it out to a public entity
[29:00] on the other side of the country and purchasing a bond program
[29:03] so that's the idea of keeping your money i think i covered uh
[29:25] but um and it is a sweet between indicator we call sweet products so
[29:30] you guys can choose a target balance on any one of your accounts
[29:34] and that target balance is what's going to draw an automatic suite
[29:37] to and from that citadel network if you will so the votes are 100 available to
[29:41] you all the time from a liquidity perspective you means
[29:45] nothing so you're only gaining the ability to keep
[29:48] those ones
[29:51] all right so that's you guys um i kind of had a lengthy meeting
[29:55] with um steve and rebecca stopper and the sheriff and uh kim michael so
[30:02] i've heard all this before and
[30:07] reconciles that um on a monthly basis so she had a few questions
[30:10] and um i think we kind of ironed out all the concerns that we might have had
[30:14] but you guys if there's anything you guys are thinking about
[30:18] this will be the time to ask because i'd like to take a vote or whether or not we
[30:22] want to sign the agreement we can choose which
[30:26] which accounts will be kind of in this you know i mean
[30:29] we have a couple that are you know a decent amount of money in
[30:34] them what kind of so the accounts that are in interest
[30:38] rates a little bit higher interest rate on this
[30:40] they're in the same interest rate
[30:44] but there the benefit is the added fdx insurance insurance
[30:50] and then the ability for their sons to be staying on their backs that's right
[30:55] i might have spoke about that about that all right so i thought there's only like
[31:02] two banks virginia ones and romney and you guys
[31:05] it's just like a medium-sized bank you guys
[31:11] yeah absolutely so this is a vendor banks uh programmers they help us manage
[31:17] this program with administrators locally and
[31:21] they provide that network of banks as you're discussing
[31:24] that network of banks and the reason that i
[31:27] always provide that to my customers to you
[31:30] is that if you have accounts of those institutions
[31:34] we want to make sure that we do not accidentally co-mingle funds
[31:37] so that you would exceed by accident and exceed your fpic insurance limits with
[31:42] that institution so that's why my list is provided
[31:57] we will not invest those funds in that institution we will not swap those
[32:00] fpsc insurance certificates with that institution so
[32:04] that way you don't have a problem of accidentally exceeding that usc
[32:08] insurance limits of that 250 000
[32:26] the bond itself people hired and that is a market driven
[32:30] and that can change as that bond remains on the triggers and we do that every
[32:34] year we actually i think just a few months
[32:37] ago prior to july 1 we issued that bond
[32:53] i think what our thoughts was we were talking about it was
[32:56] most of the smaller accounts and then because each one would have to be kind
[33:01] of a separate thing about that we're just going to mostly start concentrating
[33:06] just on our general account because it's the
[33:22] there are a couple others that that we have has 400 so
[33:25] the capitals count has 460 000 or so in it
[33:28] um she does keep that though in like some cds
[33:32] i got a good portion of that and stays in some of the transparent cds
[33:36] that she's allowed to liquify if you need to do it if you need
[33:41] to spend it on a project or something but um so i don't think we want to do
[33:47] you know those per se and i don't you know i'm not probably
[33:50] not
[34:04] [Music]
[34:19] number of accounts that you wanted to um and perhaps it's something that you you
[34:23] love and you want to expand that down the road absolutely that's fine
[34:26] perhaps it's not sometimes it's something that you pull back from as
[34:29] well so the options are very opportunity
[34:34] penalty or delay and availability of funds
[34:37] for closing the service down if you decide any time
[34:42] and i'll certainly work with the administrator in regards to
[34:46] the process
[34:59] a little more secure instead of having marketable security backing up
[35:03] our account we have insurance so it's 100 sure whereas the market was
[35:09] true like if someone goes bad and cash that thing is you can't make
[35:14] eight percent of
[35:25] account reconciliation on a monthly basis so we are adding an account and
[35:30] i've got customers do it either way from an accounting perspective
[35:33] as far as adding a new account on their website
[35:38] or not because really it is going to be tied to one of your operating accounts
[35:42] if you will again that money is going to be flowing
[35:44] back and forth so you could consider that operating account to be the same
[35:48] balances as the only patterns just the that part of the chamber here in this
[35:51] fbic insurance environment or you could go the other way and actually have a
[35:56] separate ledger for the subject uh fpsc aspect of it again
[36:01] they're connected to each other so a better customer's look better than my
[36:04] account and my customers look at it in the student accounts but i can certainly
[36:07] assess the requirements for that process personal opinion and experiences that
[36:11] you would want to look at as one account because if you look at it as two
[36:14] accounts then you actually try to track the one because
[36:17] every day you're driving crazy and that's what i think tim was actually
[36:20] concerned about a little bit and so that's why i think when we start
[36:22] people are going to do it start kind of with the volatile
[36:25] see how it goes make sure she's strong with it it doesn't change anything for
[36:29] us i don't think i'm changing the corporate office but it does change
[36:31] something for the share of tax box potentially and that's the management of
[36:35] a second you know account or at least a leg
[36:38] of
[36:52] for something [Music]
[37:06] as far as closing the programming challenge it takes about three or four
[37:08] business days for all meetings to occur just to close the account but again even
[37:13] before it's closed 100 of those funds are available to you
[37:17] with the stroke of a check so you create a check
[37:20] and again there's no no restriction limitation on being
[37:23] able to access those funds but closing down the accounts a few step process
[37:27] which takes key business states and then make sure everything's reconciling
[37:31] correctly and we can set the threshold um
[37:36] meaning we could set it to where you know we know what we need for
[37:40] you know a general month for two months or whatever and we know what comes into
[37:43] that account also typically on certain times of the year
[37:46] we can say that's where only a portion of
[37:51] and honestly that could eliminate a lot of the transparent
[37:55] now it might not even change very much because you know you'll say
[37:58] this much is here and you said it you have a rest in there
[38:01] and so anything happens below
[38:15] [Music]
[38:22] most people that need the operating income
[38:25] the liquidity of it they put it in an account like this
[38:28] i think we did because it was injured
[38:44] or
[38:59] for the citizens of one county if we did this
[39:03] expansion it's probably not just cmb in general so it could be you know
[39:10] washington county berkeley county wherever they operate as well that's
[39:13] correct so again we have a dedicated team of lenders
[39:16] officers commercial loan officers retail officers
[39:20] uh that are out on the street if you will selling
[39:23] our products and services so um you know the
[39:26] answer to that to that question is really as much as we can
[39:29] our goal as a bank is to lend out to our local community
[39:33] we are a community bank and that's part of our core mission
[39:36] and to the benefit of the community because of the business centers for the
[39:39] benefit of individual mortgage owners
[39:43] you name it so um you know as far as how much of it well 100 of what you guys
[39:49] put into that is going to be available to that mission
[39:53] but i can't give you a soft number as far as
[40:09] okay uh no of course not yet i mean i think the reason why that's all
[40:13] the case is because it does help today i mean it helps us
[40:16] uh in the insurance aspect but it helps the bank too because it gives them
[40:19] a capital lend so i like to see
[40:30] because they want to encourage people to do it because they want
[40:33] you benefit as well that's excellent a healthy
[40:51] for those guys and um if you guys don't i mean i think we
[40:55] could just entertain motion to move forward with the process
[40:58] that we'll take a little bit of doing i got some things to do again i don't
[41:01] think we can sign it but i think we'll give our blessing to
[41:04] it and kind of give them give the sheriffs a share the blessing
[41:09] to do it and sign this move with it and we'll double check and make
[41:13] sure that you know that kevin michael is okay with it she's
[41:18] comfortable with it
[41:23] oh yeah
[41:32] with their state
[41:46] um approve i guess improve the share to move forward with the
[41:54] citadel banking to approve the citadel banking program between
[41:58] the martin county commission and cnba i'll make a motion for the sheriff to
[42:06] move forward with the
[42:10] agreements with banking and i yeah just basically just
[42:18] uh to move forward the process of putting our funds in a sit-down banking
[42:22] program um you know in conjunction with somebody
[42:24] bank so all right we have emotional tablets to approve that process
[42:28] before any clear question or special promotion
[42:32] all this paper will seem probably saying aye all right
[42:36] promotion here well steven we certainly appreciate you
[42:40] taking the time to come over today and to chat with us
[43:01] as well so uh [Music]
[43:19] i really appreciate it
[43:46] for one reason or another and i don't have any idea for how long but for the
[43:50] holes i've been here and back for some years before that
[43:54] we they've never asked us for funding but we pay for their
[44:02] internet and their phone oh yeah and um so they have
[44:10] i think the most which is basically the frontier and
[44:14] well that's all we'll say about that but they have been
[44:18] desperately needing to secure a more reliable
[44:22] internet service
[44:26] and they have of course they've been right on the main drag so they have
[44:29] comcast available to them so they reconnect to comcast and
[44:35] they got the pricing from comcast and they submitted that as a request for
[44:43] reimbursement so
[44:48] as i told them going forward i'd like to fix that fundamentally
[44:51] let's fix the department where we have your old feel comes to us
[44:55] and that you know it's one thing that in a meeting be able to give someone
[44:59] funding because they come in and ask them give it to them it's another thing
[45:02] to just kind of build that comes to us that we
[45:04] pay and i'm not sure the history of the background on it
[45:07] so i said well fix that i said you guys are moving forward
[45:11] the villains come to you all and then you all feel free to make a request to
[45:15] us and i told them that you know
[45:17] unfortunately you have to make the request every year
[45:20] um they understand that i told them that there's no guarantee we will
[45:24] honor the request every year they understand that as well but just
[45:30] again for historic purposes we've been paying i
[45:33] can't i don't have an email up it's literally like 200 i mean it's not
[45:38] that much more we're going to switch over
[45:40] to comcast and use their service rather than to use the service they were
[45:44] getting through
[45:52] [Music]
[45:58] back in march but she i told her to get the most updated
[46:02] pricing she could and so she did and the total cost reimbursement would
[46:10] be
[46:12] 2961.23
[46:25] the updated request is and 23 cents then round up didn't ground down that is
[46:33] the request again we will the difference don't have
[46:38] it in the market we had an email thread but it's not here in front of me but the
[46:41] difference is it's like what we're already paying so i just want
[46:45] to make that clear it's not i mean we are obviously given
[46:49] the money but for whatever reason is already in our
[46:54] budget
[47:08] um another what is that well it used to come out of
[47:15] right out of our phone i mean come right out of probably 420
[47:19] because it was just in the building when we were doing our budget we just made
[47:24] the budget we adjust that budget for the telephone
[47:26] bill accordingly so that's that's where it always did come out
[47:28] but that's all this will come out this will come out here
[47:48] i think it was around
[48:39] [Music]
[48:43] but these guys have always done good work i appreciate all the services they
[48:46] provide anyway the request is for 29 61-23 i'll
[48:51] entertain a manager to approve um funding requests
[48:56] from the local county partnership and that again
[49:05] [Music]
[49:41] all right
[49:55] here um at the same time or since i'm not here
[49:59] we also have this jean moser with us and also our
[50:02] administrator and they can give us hopefully go ahead and give us the
[50:05] update on the bicentennial celebration we talked about this a couple weeks ago
[50:10] it was depressing that our bicentennial was zapped by a
[50:15] pandemic but those guys can give us
[50:25] lift your truth joel i am so stressed to hear you say that
[50:34] i will i mean you know first of all we still have six months to go
[50:39] secondly we've gotten a great amount of stuff
[50:42] done now if you remember a year ago today
[50:46] i was the only person thinking about the meal
[50:49] i came to you guys you were very responsive
[50:53] stephanie signed on and we laid out our plans
[50:57] and devolved and i had two goals one was that people would know about
[51:02] daniel morgan and the second ones that they would know
[51:05] about working in and i think we're doing a great job on
[51:11] those goals i guarantee you there's a lot more
[51:14] people talking about both of those things and there was
[51:19] a year ago i know a lot more
[51:24] you know i did finally get in touch with the author of the book and he is going
[51:29] to come so you know we still have stuff and i'm
[51:32] going to do a talk at the museum in august about daniel
[51:37] morgan and george washington so we're still working on danny morgan
[51:41] we have two cutouts lifestyle cutouts we have a
[51:45] great logo we have a slogan we have not one but two
[51:49] t-shirts like certainly um we have
[51:54] the quilt which i think is the most amazing video
[52:02] did all that um giving it to the people of morgan county and you have it here
[52:06] forever i mean that's fabulous we've got people
[52:10] you know we've got a song and all the kids have been singing we've
[52:14] got something
[52:21] [Music]
[52:39] [Music]
[52:43] the two lectures
[52:54] [Music]
[52:58] um
[53:13] and the civil war video is almost done uh the train the railroads will
[53:22] be going that lecture will be done in september
[53:26] the church of christ has stepped forward and offered
[53:30] their location for us because they've got an apparently
[53:35] big state of the art in place permanent live streaming that they're going to let
[53:39] us use um so it's exciting
[53:47] well i don't know the new pastor and tommy swain
[53:50] came to us his name yeah
[54:09] and he answered me in this thing and says i wrote a song about samuel
[54:12] crawford who was in valuable.com you know it was in the 1880s
[54:34] yeah it was great i mean there were 25 people
[54:38] there i was real pleased with that
[54:43] so that's going to be a great video steve french does a wonderful job and
[54:47] he's going to do the railroad so i've been working now
[54:52] you know now that i have sort of all my data and medical stuff and put on all
[54:55] these stories i've been working on the morgan
[54:57] history timeline and it's fascinating i mean it's really
[55:03] amazing and the whole railroad piece of
[55:08] how between 1900 and 1930 these towns appeared they were huge
[55:17] i mean there was a stockyard a cherry rock
[55:20] where they would keep the paddle and get on them off the trains
[55:24] they were big stations and then by 1930 virtually all of them were gone
[55:30] and these little towns just disappeared i mean magnolia was a
[55:34] variety that they took movie theater
[55:38] and probably before they would have even in berkeley springs
[55:43] and then the train stopped being the key thing
[55:46] and
[55:53] to me that's so extraordinary to think about
[55:58] how there have been these waves of what was important
[56:03] and what wasn't important how people related to them
[56:08] what these areas were and that's all going to be
[56:13] collected there's going to be an incredible archive of information
[56:19] and we will be able to do a curriculum by the end of this even if we can't do
[56:25] it quite yet we will be and if good if there's still work
[56:30] happening at the end of the year i'm not going
[56:33] anywhere this is going to be finished we're going
[56:36] to have an included at the museum and maybe even a book i mean i'm sitting
[56:42] on all this information i intend on sending all of this to the
[56:47] state archives to the state museum and
[56:50] definitely to the humanities people who turned us down
[56:56] and see what we did without you so it's i don't want you to be depressed
[57:03] yes we have been a big outing we're not going to have a
[57:08] parade in the parade but the d.a.r ladies have such a wonderful
[57:15] time with their team they want to do it every year
[57:18] now well that's cool and we had fun for morgan county day great and it was a
[57:24] weird picture lots of hundreds of people but it was
[57:27] something and it will certainly represent what
[57:30] 2020 was um today
[57:36] lori and i and stephanie will look at them look
[57:40] at the progress and this is our third segment of the
[57:45] photo contest the first segment we had two entries this segment we had
[57:52] 67 and it was like wow people weren't giving it we did only
[57:59] have one video show
[58:20] is
[58:32] a whole series of belly dancing pictures all over the world
[58:39] perfect that's when we all enjoyed that you would have told me to do that
[58:47] so i was so excited it was like okay people are yeah they're getting it
[58:55] they're getting into it so please don't be depressed okay i'll
[59:00] be impressed and we'll have by the end of the year
[59:03] we'll have something and even if we don't have another big
[59:07] part of youth on february it's okay we're doing it and people are
[59:11] doing it and people are talking about it and it's happening and it's going to be
[59:16] memorable we did the one of the historical society
[59:21] ladies uh did a list of like the top
[59:25] 20 families who were here in 1820 and who are still here
[59:30] and
[59:43] and peggy's working on the list of all the county commissioners
[59:47] from 1820 so at some point that will be able to be held in the
[59:54] in the courthouse so stephanie you have a couple other things you want to tell
[1:00:03] [Music]
[1:00:12] and
[1:00:26] as well so and all the videos we created the morgan county wp government
[1:00:31] youtube page so all of the speeches the lectures
[1:00:35] any videos that have to do with the my centennial will be on
[1:00:38] our youtube page
[1:00:54] yes
[1:01:02] is it going to be available oh yeah that picture
[1:01:06] yes i'll ask bob to do this one that's credible
[1:01:10] okay yeah yeah so i posted sort of what i knew
[1:01:32] and we have to keep doing this into year one
[1:01:35] of this third hundred
[1:01:40] and it's just it's so exciting to have all of this
[1:01:45] down and there forever and it's already that's on the chapel
[1:01:52] berkeley springs page uh on it's on the museum page so
[1:01:57] it's out there and the videos are
[1:02:02] and everybody's been great in
[1:02:14] [Music]
[1:02:25] well i do appreciate your old work on this i mean it's uh
[1:02:28] it's tricky enough to put something like all this together and then backwards
[1:02:32] you know setbacks and things and all this
[1:02:35] stuff happening and things getting canceled having to do things differently
[1:02:38] it's been kind of like it's a lot of work so i do appreciate
[1:02:42] everything you guys have thank you well stephanie and i are good
[1:02:45] at problem
[1:03:12] [Music] perseverance was part of what i said you
[1:03:16] know the people in this county are they persevere and just another example
[1:03:21] of pushing through and getting done and they're paying attention and they're
[1:03:25] learning stuff and now
[1:03:30] [Music]
[1:03:37] all right okay that's it i just wanted to meet you guys
[1:03:50] good morning good morning
[1:03:54] uh verse one is highway safety program okay
[1:04:00] that we've had for three years
[1:04:07] so we had an officer who was paid for
[1:04:25] funding projects over time projects from duis
[1:04:30] industry whatever so with that being said
[1:04:33] we have a vacancy where we will have a position that is
[1:05:00] talking about manpower currently we are down in two positions
[1:05:05] sergeant chimbal and the office schedule effective the first of september 18 to
[1:05:09] retirement there's another officer that's gotten
[1:05:12] plenty of retirement i have one officer out on a family
[1:05:16] medical leader another officer that may be on the
[1:05:19] definite [Music]
[1:05:34] september i've been trying to hire the vacancies um
[1:05:48] nevertheless eight applicants so uh
[1:06:15] in the nation's
[1:06:23] but having said all that you know asking the commission at least
[1:06:28] entertaining keeping that position
[1:07:12] in schools eight percent of the time uh deputy rover deputy jenkins
[1:07:20] brookholder and then two part-timers um
[1:08:33] the last couple years you know we talked about this in the vacancies and all
[1:08:37] we've tried to do um we always instead of having another
[1:08:43] position we've always been trying to give
[1:08:47] across the board additional raises and then of course we tried to do a
[1:08:52] hiring bonus which wouldn't hire anybody to be instituted so
[1:08:55] then we don't they will still hire anybody so i mean it doesn't feed you a
[1:08:58] lot i mean i understand what you're what
[1:09:00] republicans but and i don't mind even saying that we could
[1:09:04] potentially leave the position because we have to fund it but
[1:09:08] at the end of the day to be realistic it doesn't matter if we have it there we
[1:09:13] already have three technically so we add another room
[1:09:17] that's just money in a budget and it's just a
[1:09:20] decision on paper that's not going to mean anything
[1:09:23] and i i agree with you it's it's somatics
[1:09:26] but i just want to bring it to your kitchen because
[1:09:30] maybe we won't be able to have to come back to
[1:09:57] [Music]
[1:10:22] and just to get a little further forward um
[1:10:28] stapleton place and women are almost able to retire in the next few years
[1:10:31] yeah so that's where we're at i mean i keep looking and recruiting and trying
[1:10:38] to find retired guys and they want to work
[1:10:41] part-time because quite you mentioned that before about
[1:10:45] something about i know you have to do certain things
[1:10:48] with civil servants powerful time and personally
[1:10:50] if you mention something about asking them or a waiver of some sort
[1:10:55] to go through that process if you couldn't
[1:10:58] get some of the good phrases that's still something i mean
[1:11:02] to hire a civil service full-time deputy that's that's a state mandated thing
[1:11:07] there's no way the only conditional waiver for that is in emergency
[1:11:10] situations which technically have been extremely
[1:11:14] mean military deployments you can hire somebody temporarily for
[1:11:18] 90-day appointments and you can do it again and then do it
[1:11:21] again you can hire part-timers outside of civil service
[1:11:39] to take the money from the government's highway safety program grant
[1:11:43] and just transfer the amount and say okay we're gonna put it in yours and you
[1:11:46] have another position at this point you know i just
[1:11:48] think it's good to be aware of what's going on
[1:11:51] i mean there could come a time when you might want to think about
[1:11:54] a different approach and again we've been trying that but it
[1:11:57] just lags whatever else is in the surrounding
[1:12:00] um i don't know we're not loading it but i think
[1:12:04] we're just going to start feeling it lose another you know another person
[1:12:09] to retirement i mean there's just no one out there
[1:12:13] i mean so the three you said the past what what's their status you said two or
[1:12:17] potentially potential down there i mean is there any
[1:12:21] potential for you what if they get passed over down there
[1:12:23] you think they might possibly want to come to us if berkeley doesn't
[1:12:27] retire one of the officers has told me that
[1:12:32] he will go to whoever hires him first i'm
[1:12:36] trying to expedite civil service doing their thing so they can give me the
[1:12:40] three hopefully i'll do something thursday
[1:12:42] evening friday
[1:13:00] he's a good young man he's more than a police officer his father for me in
[1:13:06] berkeley county has proudly known us so he
[1:13:11] the other the other two applicants that are
[1:13:14] at least in the road would be rare cooking
[1:13:37] all right well that's the situation that we find ourselves in so um
[1:13:40] just uh run down the grant i mean the grant itself
[1:13:45] if you take out the overtime and uh something else
[1:13:48] we have about it's basically about 72 000 total in the salary but that
[1:13:52] includes the salary the insurance the retirement portion all those things
[1:13:58] combined and then are they taking the vehicle
[1:14:00] back no that's why we get to retain the vehicles
[1:14:06] that's the place [Laughter]
[1:14:19] all right
[1:14:39] all right
[1:14:54] fencing uh they didn't raise the prices on this
[1:14:58] correct statement correct same as it was last year which
[1:15:01] i can't hardly believe they're ready to roll they just need the word
[1:15:05] yeah and and also i'll throw this in here for the record
[1:15:21] their budget is probably the budget we approve of the project even though
[1:15:25] it was in it's kind of made it to its camp so
[1:15:28] this is the fencing which is not i don't see it right in front of you but it's
[1:15:31] not that it's like it's almost nine thousand
[1:15:36] dollars
[1:15:51] the garage
[1:15:57] we can secure seas vehicles evidence vehicles
[1:16:01] vehicles so we've already paid for some damage
[1:16:17] [Music]
[1:16:32] perch absolutely we put together on the next subject
[1:16:40] with special purpose
[1:16:57] [Music]
[1:17:05] i appreciate that um all right i'll make it short and sweet
[1:17:14] long defense um to complete the fencing around the independent
[1:17:19] garage this money would come from the capital reserve fund
[1:17:26] so didn't make the
[1:17:43] right
[1:17:57] and maybe talk through this for just a few minutes it's been something that's
[1:17:59] kind of been thrown around you know west virginia came up with a
[1:18:02] new wall i think took it back to live one and i've seen some folks you know
[1:18:06] that have kind of legalized their utv or whatever
[1:18:30] [Music]
[1:18:37] but there's another you know the fact that they made that one is this other
[1:18:40] class of people like i assumed that they did they're becoming a lot
[1:18:45] more popular about that well yeah and you know you're
[1:18:49] doing people understandably they're confused
[1:18:54] state has a law the county has a law now there's another law
[1:18:57] that kind of needs a confluence i guess but then we need to talk to the
[1:19:04] legislatures about this many many people are thinking that this
[1:19:08] is or the new laws there's mud too because a lot of times it were passed it
[1:19:13] had to deal with the happiness a lot of the southern areas of state but
[1:19:17] you know it was different so the street legal special purpose
[1:19:21] videos if you look through there and it says includes all terrain
[1:19:26] vehicles utility training vehicles many trucks
[1:19:30] so again that's going to conflict with the county ordinances
[1:20:02] okay
[1:20:30] okay
[1:20:44] then it goes
[1:21:26] i know
[1:21:32] yeah so i mean totally something you won't have to consider what you want to
[1:21:40] do now having said this came into effect
[1:22:08] my opinion is just my ability i think when you look at our movements
[1:22:13] and try to marry it up with the new stage movements
[1:22:16] where we don't conflict with definitions or what ourselves
[1:22:19] imagine we are going to change something personally i do not personally want to i
[1:22:25] don't personally restrict those vehicles but they're
[1:22:28] allowed anywhere else in the state i don't want to restrict them into the
[1:22:30] county and i feel like i have a jeep wrangler
[1:22:34] if i take all my doors off my jeep i literally probably have
[1:22:38] almost seen people that the gentleman you were speaking of has to run around
[1:22:42] it's literally the same i think all the doors off put my mirrors on the side and
[1:22:45] i'm literally riding on so i have no purpose
[1:22:49] yeah so yeah the way these things are made now
[1:22:52] i mean if you look at the side of them they're the size of like a whole white
[1:22:55] club these things are big they're not going
[1:22:58] on four wheeler trails i mean these things are made for specific purposes
[1:23:03] i mean they can do
[1:23:18] they're more than
[1:23:32] someone told
[1:24:14] was
[1:24:32] yeah all right well that's something to look at um does he be able to
[1:24:37] volunteer to scour up with atv and figure out what we
[1:24:41] need to change
[1:24:56] encourage that particular partner i mean we're sitting around d.c
[1:25:01] marketplace they would eat maybe guys downtown and i was in a room of all
[1:25:08] places and they allowed atd's down there just driving around i didn't spend a ton
[1:25:13] of money running an atv to drive around town
[1:25:17] that was a glass that's an absolute glass yeah
[1:25:51] [Music]
[1:26:06] all over the place so if you have another vehicle now that's the
[1:26:10] insured director don't see i don't i don't think would be any different
[1:26:14] that you put there but it says specifically dnr can be prohibited
[1:26:19] so it falls back
[1:26:34] all right when you take a look at it you see because i know there's a couple
[1:26:37] complimenting things we just need to iron out what we want ours to be at the
[1:26:40] end of the day to keep everybody safe legal happy not necessarily happy
[1:26:45] but
[1:27:02] or change or you know modify this if you have to go through a preliminary process
[1:27:06] you put it out for public comments
[1:27:13] but anyway it's pretty lengthy so we want to do it the
[1:27:42] all right i appreciate that
[1:28:11] thank you sir
[1:28:16] [Music] stephanie you're going to be up next and
[1:28:21] what we need to talk about real quick is the generator
[1:28:24] generator for the new 911 [Music]
[1:28:35] [Music]
[1:28:41] okay first of all i want to say we're not going to mention what the numbers
[1:28:44] are today because we might if we choose a certain
[1:28:47] way to go we might have to rfp this every 25 000 would have
[1:28:51] to rfp if we do that it wouldn't be fair
[1:28:55] wouldn't be fair to mention the pricing that we have on the
[1:28:58] two solicitors that we have so we just won't mention those we don't
[1:29:02] even really need to mention the companies
[1:29:04] just to keep everybody fair we have to put this off
[1:29:08] but then me talk a little bit about options yes um so
[1:29:12] what aaron did was we had the power connection people who do our
[1:29:18] courthouse generator here take a look at the option of potentially
[1:29:24] connecting to our existing generator to see if it would support
[1:29:28] um the load from the new 911 center so we did that and then we also got two
[1:29:34] quotes for independent generator just for 901
[1:29:39] standalone generators um those are two options a third option that's possible
[1:29:44] that we could potentially explore is moving
[1:29:47] the generator from objects oex down here um
[1:29:52] to the 911 center too so we have a couple things to look at a couple
[1:29:56] options to look at there also is a company on
[1:29:59] statement for west virginia and we would like to have them come out as well
[1:30:04] i just kind of want to give you a brief update on
[1:30:07] some of the options that we're looking at what potential
[1:30:11] costs would be associated to it before we move forward
[1:30:14] with making any decisions or deciding which way to go
[1:30:36] but i know we have two beds that are basically in the same ballpark
[1:30:39] therefore installing the new new generator one is 100 kw
[1:30:44] and one was for 140 kw
[1:31:01] in doing something where we just connect our power supply to the current
[1:31:06] generator that's here for the courthouse already
[1:31:08] we did do a test um actually to see the circuits in the courthouse they're red
[1:31:13] our norms are back to the generator so we did a test on the courthouse
[1:31:18] one day during work hours to see if it was on generator how much it was pulling
[1:31:22] from the existing generator and if it could hold
[1:31:25] they knew reported and it did they said
[1:31:42] talking about is there is a generator i'm not sure exactly where to flip paper
[1:31:46] is just from the oh yes up there currently
[1:31:52] it does that the whole building uh a good portion of it
[1:31:58] if we want to go through the expense of the trump and moving something that we
[1:32:00] already have the spotlight already powered by ours the only thing that
[1:32:04] remotely concerns me in life
[1:32:23] so that's not really one of our favorite options but
[1:32:27] that was just something that we had talked about um we personally feel
[1:32:31] um youth an independent generator by itself that support will potentially be
[1:32:36] better just in case something crazy would happen with the courthouse
[1:32:40] generator
[1:32:45] all right and so if we win that option you see that
[1:32:48] a couple of walk-ins we have the higher prices they um
[1:32:52] obviously
[1:33:19] let these guys know that we're gonna
[1:33:34] and these guys are
[1:33:40] so we will work as quickly as possible to get the
[1:33:43] statement contractor in here to take a look at it hopefully next week
[1:34:00] all right all right should be before coming together um
[1:34:05] the next thing that we have on the agenda we need to look at
[1:34:08] is the chemical fire suppression system um i believe from what i can
[1:34:16] see i believe we got another quote i've tried to get two more
[1:34:21] i reached out to the six or seven companies provided
[1:34:26] two centers i told seven or eight centers talking directors
[1:34:29] there's two centers that use the second because
[1:34:33] the name but the second one the most recently um
[1:34:36] that they spoke very highly of them that's a west virginia company didn't
[1:34:41] have a market for golf customers and they go down through the state so
[1:34:46] and they also offer some other stuff that
[1:34:48] aaron was really excited about that made for the entire facility he deals with
[1:34:54] five or six different companies and that company does all of them okay
[1:35:25] okay so
[1:35:31] marshall also found at least one maybe more
[1:35:34] uh places that they have no fire suppression
[1:35:38] where their liquid is uh i
[1:35:54] so around the wall around orange county they don't have a system at all they
[1:36:00] just said well
[1:36:03] i mean it doesn't seem like that cost to that extent to me um all right so
[1:36:09] we'll we'll talk about these a little bit we have
[1:36:11] we have a few bits now and i feel like you know
[1:36:14] again we'll review the rules it's under twenty five thousand we try this it's
[1:36:17] listed three bits well here try to get some people there's
[1:36:20] plenty of guys that do regular fire suppression do not do the uh the
[1:36:25] oxygen reducing fire suppression at all uh marshall now
[1:36:28] has been reached out for another five or six or seven companies
[1:36:31] so we're down we've got two pigs we're not going to get any more beds there's
[1:36:34] just nothing else to get them from so we've got two uh one is drawn to
[1:36:38] controls they are from uh it says pennsylvania i think they have a
[1:36:43] place there's some place fairly close i put it
[1:36:46] i don't believe they're based unless they're doing that
[1:36:50] yeah so their bids for eighteen thousand seven ninety
[1:36:53] basically and then we have a company who's put in a bid
[1:36:57] fire protection contractors uh brewers brewery company
[1:37:01] out of west virginia and uh morgantown i guess
[1:37:23] [Music]
[1:37:32] a matching sensor so it's not the the agent's not different because of youtube
[1:37:38] agents that the cost changes dramatically
[1:37:40] learn to make sure we're comparing it to it's the same extinguishing agent
[1:37:43] the same setup between both companies that all right so we've got two apples
[1:37:49] to apples close uh we have ones for eight four thousand
[1:37:52] seven ninety two one is for fifteen thousand even
[1:37:55] um i didn't take a mission to approve one of these companies
[1:38:10] all right so we have uh we have two bids 18 792
[1:38:13] and ten measures to 15 on these two companies to do the
[1:38:18] fire suppression system for the i guess it's the equipment
[1:38:21] server groups or we're all computer
[1:38:28] controllers
[1:38:39] [Music]
[1:38:43] all the favorites props saying aye aye as opposed to know
[1:38:46] your carries thank you marshall yes sir um
[1:38:54] up next then is uh press replace the forward air
[1:39:00] conditioner unit in the 911 tower building at dispatch lane
[1:39:06] assuming that's apple building it's the building that
[1:39:09] keeps all of our entire
[1:39:29] so there's a building for our main tower a dispatch wing
[1:39:33] that controls keeps everything that's running that tower all the radio
[1:39:37] equipment cool the air conditioning units are broken
[1:39:41] so we have one that's limping along there are two units up there one's
[1:39:46] going to walk around here but they need to replace because that's that's
[1:39:51] just like our server ring
[1:39:56] all right so this is basically this is a power madness yes so
[1:39:59] this font this is not going to come out of our quantity it really should come
[1:40:03] out of whatever the fund is in the tower
[1:40:07] i can't remember what a lot of it is but it's in uh
[1:40:12] income though
[1:40:16] anyway the money we that we receive from the reds that are from folks that
[1:40:22] are on the towers that comes into roughly sixty thousand a
[1:40:25] year i think um for that for the rents that come in here
[1:40:28] is that right i'm not saying that right and um that's where we put spin
[1:40:48] but now we really need to start concentrating on some empowerment
[1:40:51] things that we learned about in our study
[1:40:54] so we have uh i think we have two we have two um
[1:41:02] so we have two bits here for replacing that air conditioning system
[1:41:06] in that building
[1:41:12] or is that what i'm guessing is probably hey it's this is like a great unit it's
[1:41:19] just just basically a building that's out there in the sun with all that
[1:41:22] equipment they're outdoor units but they attach to
[1:41:26] the building um they're not they're not foreign model
[1:41:30] units they're actual
[1:41:44] because there's only one that's broken the other one is doing the job up there
[1:41:50] but we're going to stay back right this is what's going to
[1:41:53] happen right if we haven't already still hanging in there all right so we
[1:41:58] have two we have two bids to replace the unit um one is from rh
[1:42:04] laughing suns orlando 375 one is from solar air for 1957.
[1:42:15] i don't think we have any choice but to fix it uh it will come out of um
[1:42:19] i think it's 7 12 2161 maintenance repair recruitment restricted
[1:42:26] okay
[1:42:31] all right so i retained a motion to approve one of these
[1:42:34] one of these two bids to install the new equipment at the tower
[1:43:09] lap and sons in the amount of 9 375 to be paid out of fund 712 to count to
[1:43:15] 2161. all right we'll continue to approve the
[1:43:18] um event from rh to replace the bar unit as level
[1:43:36] carries
[1:43:45] all right um nothing left on the administrator's report
[1:43:50] and
[1:44:04] anything else guys all right
[1:44:11] guys
