[0:02] Okay, this is the regular meeting of the Northwestern Special Service District. Today is March 10th, Tuesday. It's 6.32 p.m. We're starting a meeting shortly. You can remind everybody to please silence your phones, including us. We would appreciate it. And we're in VAO fire department. Okay. Call the meeting door.

[0:30] order. So Charlie would you read this in the pledge please? I

[0:41] pledge allegiance to the flag

[0:43] of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands one nation under God

[0:51] indivisible with liberty and justice for all. Yes we do. And then okay.

[1:11] Our Father in Heaven, we're thankful for this day, we're thankful for this meeting that we are about to have, we pray that that it blesses us that the Spirit might be here and we can cover the business that we need to, we're thankful for the country that we live in and for the sacrifices that have been made for us to be here.

[1:28] We thank thee again for all that we have and we say this in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.

[1:32] Thank you so since we have Charlie has a moment of silence.

[1:44] So last Thursday I had a call from one of our fire fighters Wednesday his son Jake Bartle

[1:52] had been in motorcycle accident on the Hilldale area and was killed.

[1:59] Jake, the past two years, had been working with us at the volunteer or as a junior firefighter

[2:06] in his brother who had been coming out and training with us.

[2:09] Jake had called me a couple months ago and was anxious from turning 18 in May and was

[2:14] anxious to get his wildland certification and was very active in the working on that.

[2:21] This is just a devastating loss for us, a very high energy kid, a great individual.

[2:28] So we had a funeral for Mr. Dave,

[2:32] Chief Larson and I were able to lead out

[2:36] and bring the back of the upper session there in Gunlock

[2:39] and contribute to Jake.

[2:41] And so I was hoping here at the board meeting

[2:43] we'd take a minute and have a little moment of silence.

[2:47] Maybe a couple silent prayers for Jake's family.

[2:50] I appreciate that.

[3:02] Thank you very much.

[3:06] OK.

[3:06] Okay, so number four on our agenda is the approval of the January 20th, 20th, 26 minutes

[3:19] because we had the cancel our meeting last month.

[3:24] So Mr. Karen, we approve the January 20th, 26 minutes.

[3:28] I'll take him.

[3:32] Oh, in favor?

[3:34] Hi.

[3:35] Okay.

[3:35] Motion passes.

[3:37] Now I need to sign them.

[3:49] Okay.

[3:50] So we've got a special guest here this evening.

[3:55] Alan Anderson from the Washington County Library.

[3:59] So he's going to do a presentation on the library.

[4:05] Thank you.

[4:05] I appreciate you guys having me and Dan entertaining this, I had called and said hey I have an idea, but I was surprised that we have an idea also.

[4:18] We talked about it. We talked about it. I don't like this.

[4:21] So what we'd like to do is consider, I've got a little flag show, I know sometimes we

[4:30] see too many power lines, but maybe it's better to show you a few pictures.

[4:36] They say pictures worth a thousand words, and I'm using one I'm not used to, so I hope

[4:42] I get it right.

[4:43] I don't think so.

[4:44] I'm actually going to do something else.

[4:46] No, we can go there.

[4:48] To the left or record?

[4:52] There you go.

[4:53] There we go. So we've been looking at some ways that we can actually kind of help and serve us up in this area a little bit.

[5:05] I realize this is a little bit far from either enterprise, which is a close library or the same George.

[5:14] So we have an idea. I'm not sure what you guys have been thinking about.

[5:18] So I'll show you what we're thinking about so we would actually like to try to expand library service

[5:25] And we realize it's not you know there are deeds and sometimes when you have a way to drive it's hard to

[5:31] It's not like someone in town where you can just jump in the car and we used to have a

[5:38] Yeah, actually that was shared with I think Dyeron County is watching the county so it has been a while since that ran

[5:46] So, I appreciate you guys, I'd like to say maybe a great

[5:50] mind to think of life here.

[5:51] We would like to see something happen.

[5:53] We've applied for some funds through the state library,

[5:59] which is actually channeled through the federal government.

[6:02] And I'd actually applied in about August or September

[6:05] and then they had the whole government shut down

[6:07] on everything that happened there.

[6:09] Things kind of got tied up.

[6:11] So when I got notified in late December that they had actually kind of the government shutdown ended and we got some funding.

[6:21] But the problem is you still have the same amount of timeframe to do this.

[6:25] So we have a shorter timeframe that I do have some funding to try to buy a remote locker system.

[6:33] This is a little bit like the old red box stuff you would see in the stores where you could go and get stuff.

[6:40] But of course the library and the idea is that this would expand service and as you probably

[6:48] know we have locations this area probably doesn't have enough population in one place

[6:53] to adjust quite putting the building in but this locker system seems like a good idea to

[6:59] be able to expand service and actually I talked to Jared Bollinger I don't know how many

[7:05] He runs the ambulance on the ambulance from Enterprise to St. George, and he works at the

[7:12] hospital, and so he courage stuff from us from St. George to Enterprise, and I said, hey,

[7:17] I have this idea.

[7:19] I said, I would like to see us expand through us on how he ate.

[7:24] And he's like, this is such a great idea.

[7:25] He says, I wouldn't even charge you to do this.

[7:27] Well, we want to pay you if you're going to do it.

[7:29] But so, you know, he was really encouraging that, you know, really we should look at this and pursue this.

[7:35] So, of course, you know, the library has been around in Washington.

[7:39] The Pioneers founded it, it's been around for a long time.

[7:43] Our area has actually been an area that values education and development.

[7:50] So, as we look at that, and this is what I told him in the grant when I did it.

[7:56] So, you know, if you're looking at a round trip, all of these areas have significant

[8:00] distance.

[8:00] You guys notice.

[8:01] I mean, you drive it and you live it, but I think for people that don't learn around

[8:05] here, they don't realize that, you know, if you're in general, you're, you know, almost

[8:10] 60 miles from either St. George or Enterprise, so, so that's what I told all my immigrants.

[8:17] I said, you know, we have an area that really could use a little closer service, so, the

[8:24] book locker systems. So around the country these are just some ideas from some other places.

[8:29] I think this is down in Phoenix area. I don't know where Amesville, Amesville,

[8:35] kind of like Iowa or something like that. But yeah you can see kind of how they've done

[8:41] that. So and what this is is this would be where we would send we would pull books from the eight

[8:47] other locations and you know if it comes in some place like Hilldale it takes a while for

[8:54] First, when this way through the courier system, you know, a couple days, if it comes from

[9:00] St. George or something they could get on there and come up.

[9:03] And then, when it gets loaded, it would be loaded in a locker.

[9:08] These are all, actually, these are wrapped, they call them wrapped, you know, they don't

[9:14] come this way from the manufacturer, but they kind of put some amortite and stuff on them.

[9:19] And they get a lot of material, and then when the patron towns, they log in using a library card.

[9:26] The locker pockets open, they take their stuff, and so it's already checked out for them.

[9:31] They just close the door in the way they go.

[9:35] So we're still kind of figuring out the return card, and it depends on which vendor.

[9:40] Some have a bigger bin where it goes in.

[9:43] And others, I just felt like an old fashioned return in the corner, and then they just picked up.

[9:52] That's a version you're looking at.

[9:55] Is there a video camera to see who it is that's picking up the book?

[9:59] Yeah, actually, I think there is some APN.

[10:05] I want to see, I think, right up in that corner there, or above.

[10:10] Yeah, so they get so yes, there would be there would be something and that was another thing when I had actually come up and look at this in

[10:20] January at work and we love they just

[10:24] And I Jiren Bollinger said you know right on the highway

[10:27] He said sometimes you get people going from town that aren't from town

[10:31] And you may get a little more vandalism if you're right on the highway

[10:34] So he thought and then he's kind of connected with the fire department too

[10:38] So the fire department is a great question to talk to them.

[10:41] So that's all I got started on this track.

[10:45] But you know, probably over at the gas station, the dollar store would be a lot more on the highway.

[10:55] But I think that the fire station, like I say, could be maybe a little bit off the path for those of you.

[11:02] And it's not that we think that we have panels anywhere in Washington,

[11:05] I think 20 people live.

[11:08] But this is Occupy.

[11:10] It's all for seven.

[11:12] So that doesn't, you know, a little bit easier.

[11:17] It's also pretty decent location, you know.

[11:18] It's very central to the whole corridor.

[11:21] And everybody comes to the this gas station here.

[11:25] And so this is a, I think it's a very nice location.

[11:29] So yes, I think in terms of the county,

[11:34] I think, you know, I think, uh, there's a third another question.

[11:40] I wouldn't have been able to fill them, but yes, I think in the county, I think would probably feel more comfortable being here.

[11:45] I've already talked to the Library Board.

[11:47] I said, yeah, it'd be either to stick with, you know, a county vocation.

[11:50] So, uh, the board was another government entity.

[11:55] So, you can see where, you know, she goes up.

[11:57] It's actually supposed to be fairly easy.

[12:05] So if you're just like, you know, if you want a DVD for your house or something, you

[12:11] would a couple days ahead, you could request it, then it's going to replace the whole,

[12:17] you select a locker, and then it'd do you an email saying it's there, you pick it up,

[12:23] and then you return it.

[12:23] So,

[12:28] the library itself has like, you know, the county wide had like half million items

[12:33] that books and DVDs and music and all kinds of things.

[12:39] So, their objective is to make sure that it's an ADA compliant, so the monitor and then,

[12:48] you know, it can be in those middle areas.

[12:54] They come just with the plain metal, but I think part of the grant, they want us to advertise

[13:00] if they could give them some money, too, so we'd probably try to do the wrap they're taking

[13:05] on that, and kind of advertise that.

[13:09] And the same circulation rule would apply, you know, just like at the library, so if we're

[13:15] looking at total material, it's not like they can, well, the lockers are limited, so they

[13:21] But you can actually put multiple, so if someone is out of family and you requested 20 items,

[13:28] that's not going to be enough for 20, but you may take one, two, three, or four slots

[13:33] or something and so on.

[13:37] I think the benefits of the community, of course, is less travel time, access and, like I said,

[13:43] it's 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, helps people in terms of the access

[13:50] Yes, and then it expands service interval to it, too.

[13:56] And then you can look in.

[13:58] Yes.

[13:58] I'm guessing you can check the book out of one of the libraries to determine here.

[14:02] Yes.

[14:03] Yeah.

[14:04] Like I said, we haven't got whether we're going to do the book drop or whether it goes through that system.

[14:10] But either way, you put your card in or if it's just a look and we're going to return,

[14:15] you put it in there and then we would, the way that works,

[14:18] Even if you drop it off the enterprise or Santa Clara or St. George, if you drop it off

[14:25] off hours, the clerk that checked it in, they just said to book drop them out and it checks

[14:30] it in for the next past day business.

[14:33] So that's probably what we would do on that.

[14:37] Do you have a preference on which side to pay the company lockers from the width?

[14:43] So they kind of come in the vendor and so you buy them as a module, so you have to buy

[14:51] the center one with the computer, I mean that one's a month but then you can buy different

[14:55] configurations so you can buy up to 15 but then they're a little short.

[15:00] Or you can buy, you know, a different configuration when I was there figuring it out. So, do you have any statistics on the usage in our service area? Yeah, from central to government? So, actually last year, for a different thing, I started looking at hard registration, and we did all of the areas in Washington County, including, and it gets a little tricky when you're looking at some that are none, they're in an incorporated, because it's hard,

[15:29] getting population figures for, like, work side and things when it's not in the

[15:34] corporate agency. But we do have registered patrons in all of the areas in

[15:39] Washington County including the corporate. I could tell you there's about I think

[15:45] 2000 in our four community. Yeah, I think I have that slide.

[15:52] If I didn't know

[15:54] back out but I actually have the population figures for each of the areas and

[15:58] That's about 4,000 total, including the damper and diamond

[16:02] gun line.

[16:06] So you could just pull up how many patrons use the service.

[16:11] And really, you're not going to be correct.

[16:13] And as part of the grant, I had to say,

[16:15] this is how we're going to major.

[16:16] Because I don't want to give you money

[16:17] and then fill out what the way you might.

[16:19] So I had to say, OK, this is what we're going to do.

[16:22] What we're hoping to do is increase library part holders.

[16:24] And we're hoping to track the holders we have.

[16:27] So, are you looking from diamond to central?

[16:32] Well, whatever is convenient.

[16:34] So, I mean, if someone...

[16:35] I realize that, you know, if you're in Winchester Hills,

[16:38] you're probably not going to drive up right now.

[16:41] So, you may want to drive in Santa Clara, St. George.

[16:44] But if you're... I think diamond dam is going either way.

[16:49] If you're in central or pine valley or got a lot,

[16:51] it's going to be a lot closer to come through.

[16:54] depending on what you need though. I mean if you're looking for a lot of stuff and you didn't find a head like I don't know what I'm

[17:00] looking at you but I had chips it was eight. I have a report due tomorrow and then you're scared. I'm sorry yeah.

[17:12] I think that and I appreciate you guys being supportive. That's one of the things we're looking for. I'm glad that you have the same idea.

[17:18] I've got a great mind-simple line, right?

[17:21] So probably what we would need is electricity.

[17:25] I think with the internet, I've already talked

[17:27] to on a couple of options,

[17:30] we're probably looking at either a little satellite thing

[17:35] or Info West for radio.

[17:38] We do have an Info West connection.

[17:41] Oh, yeah?

[17:41] Yeah, we have a fixed IP

[17:43] and they could just do their own router

[17:47] from that problem.

[17:51] So, I don't want to make it.

[17:52] I don't want to show the population.

[17:54] Sorry, let me put that very quickly.

[17:56] That's okay.

[17:57] What I was just curious, how many patrons

[17:59] actually use the service all in a year or annual?

[18:02] Yeah, we would have to look at that.

[18:04] I was looking for more registrations than use.

[18:08] Yeah.

[18:08] Just to see how many people use the service.

[18:10] Although I would imagine if it was here or more people use it.

[18:14] Yes.

[18:14] Yes, and that's the hope that if it's a little closer, and I mean, we all, I think I heard

[18:22] someone back there in the back saying, you know, about the clerk's office, I think my

[18:26] taxes too. We all have a tax bill and there's a line on there and so, you know, we would like

[18:32] to be able to support everyone.

[18:35] So would you, I don't think this is the right word, but would you want us to help

[18:40] to the community or community about things or is that?

[18:46] Yeah, that would be great.

[18:47] And we would try to get the word out.

[18:49] I think my thought is when we get it set up to have kind of a ribbon cutting type thing,

[18:54] I don't know how many people would have, but it would be nice to have like a little thing

[18:59] or the community and try to do a little testivity type thing.

[19:06] Well I was just wondering if you were our next store app and then we now have a website

[19:12] and we can also talk about it there.

[19:15] I'm just, or do you not want us to do that?

[19:17] No, we would like to push out the word, yeah.

[19:21] And then you help do in that, that would be great.

[19:23] And I also wondering, because one of the best juicers I think are children.

[19:29] Yes.

[19:30] And so I think that could be another good thing to promote for more children to seek that

[19:37] out.

[19:38] And then their parent doesn't have to hold a child and they can get it.

[19:43] Do you already have a children's reading award program?

[19:46] So, yes.

[19:47] There are several things that happen.

[19:49] In the summer, there's a summer reading program that they could participate in.

[19:53] There's another program called 1000 Books Before Kindergarten that kind of encourages children

[19:58] to read and I think statistically it shows the children where the parent

[20:02] freedom before they can read that kind of helps develop cognitive skills and

[20:07] abilities and kind of you know pushes them forward helps them as they get into

[20:12] school. So what do you need from us I mean do we if we just say yeah come and do it

[20:18] we need to I mean what would what do we need to do I think it's a great idea I

[20:23] I think this is a great place and it's a place for the community to come to.

[20:29] But what all would you need from us to make this happen?

[20:32] Well, probably, yes.

[20:33] Let's do it.

[20:34] I mean, then we would pursue.

[20:35] So I haven't actually purchased the system yet.

[20:37] I think you would ask me if I had it.

[20:39] No, we don't have it on-site.

[20:41] It's not ready to go.

[20:42] For the grant, though, I do have to have it up and going.

[20:46] And so you have to have it in before you can get it.

[20:50] No, no. I have to have it installed and collect data for the end of the grant, which is June, so I mean, that's how quickly can we make it?

[21:00] How quickly can I install here?

[21:02] One of the, we had three bids. I mean, we have to get three bids.

[21:07] Excuse me, is it beginning of June or end of June?

[21:11] So, I would actually have it in before June.

[21:14] Okay.

[21:14] because I have to do a report by the end of June, all the money has to be

[21:19] expanded by the middle of June, but basically we just need us to say yeah we

[21:26] want it and bring it on and yeah I would imagine that I haven't talked to the

[21:32] attorney's office my guess is I want to have some type of agreement between us

[21:36] you know where we just say it we both understand what we're doing that type of

[21:40] thing and I don't think I have to be a big deal but I'm here to just vote on

[21:44] whether we're in favor of this, what do you want to do that first and then-

[21:49] But I have a question, and as Chief, this is your station, are you, do you have any questions or-

[21:54] No, I've talked to you about it, I think we ought to do it.

[21:59] Yeah, I do.

[21:59] Okay, so what are you going to need, like a 10 by 16 pad and two walls in the-

[22:08] Instead of moving up to the side of the building here, we-

[22:10] No, we've got space in the-

[22:13] I think the long side of the building, we could go right outside here or on the other side of the bale dinger so we wanted out front.

[22:21] Yeah, literally right out front, we could just tap right off of that.

[22:25] Yeah, I think around this right here is usually monitored.

[22:29] The paramedics in the MTs are just right there on the other side of that wall.

[22:33] On there's already a pad.

[22:35] You know, we probably just need to make sure that there's a space left for people to come up and park so we've got handicap access there.

[22:42] But I think we could pull the trigger and make something move right here

[22:45] We may want the pictures you've got right there

[22:49] We may want to put just a little more of an overhang so that you know

[22:52] I mean if you have the rain or something you're not standing out there in the you're on the drippling of the roof and it's dripping on your

[23:01] Sir, welcome

[23:13] So I think you're going to have a lot of there's a light on the light about the door right here

[23:18] It's well or some of those things like when they have built-in

[23:25] We can change one to a ring camera so we can try

[23:35] So the grant is like fixing that I'll tell you $30,000. That's what they've given us

[23:41] The bids that I've got right now for the lockers I range from about 27 to 32 so I'm

[23:48] hoping they they will cover that amount that's it I don't know that I would

[24:00] expect you to. Well can we get help from county building guys or from the

[24:11] We could, I can talk to them about that, because they have electrician, they have an electrician on staff, you know, on things like that, the county IT guys, we would kind of be tapping them to help with the connection using stuff like that.

[24:27] So I'm going to quote Kevin Conner, do you feel that they will come?

[24:32] Well, we hope that you play much.

[24:34] I play it.

[24:35] Yeah, and we hope that you push it out to, you know, people, you know,

[24:42] initially it may

[24:42] take a little time.

[24:44] I want to get things going, but I think as people get to know one or acquainted with it.

[24:49] And, you know, our objective isn't to get fined.

[24:52] We don't have fined for late in the trail.

[24:53] That's encouraged.

[24:54] And our find is like a diamond day.

[24:56] It's not like we're trying to, you know.

[24:59] So, and we need to send notices to people three days

[25:01] before stuff is due.

[25:03] So, I mean, we're a library, we try that.

[25:06] But we're trying to encourage people to bring stuff back,

[25:09] but we don't run the library off of finds and fees,

[25:11] or that type of thing.

[25:12] Are you going to have the marshals ready to go out?

[25:15] No, we don't.

[25:16] Yeah, there's no book police, or anything like that.

[25:22] Thank you.

[25:23] Any other questions?

[25:25] Yes.

[25:25] Anybody have any questions?

[25:27] Final?

[25:28] Well, I'll make the motion to allow the library system to install booklocker and working with

[25:36] Chief Larson, we'll find the appropriate place for it, safe and practical.

[25:42] You agree with that, Chief?

[25:45] I'll second that motion.

[25:46] Okay.

[25:47] All in favor?

[25:48] Aye.

[25:49] Aye.

[25:50] Again.

[25:53] Thank you, I appreciate your support and your willingness and I say when we have an idea I do too so I'm glad that we're kind of on the same track here and thinking about that I appreciate that so we'll work for that I just next step to let you know I'm going to go to the

[26:09] I mean, I've got to do the procurement process and think that they would like to try to get it going.

[26:15] Yeah, get it going.

[26:16] So, who should be your point of contact for us so that we can make sure that we do what we need to or so.

[26:24] Yeah, we're going to talk right now.

[26:25] Or even with that.

[26:26] Yeah.

[26:27] Okay.

[26:29] All right.

[26:30] Well, nice work for me.

[26:31] Just to tell you what.

[26:32] And this isn't something we've officially discussed.

[26:35] It was going to be on tonight's thing.

[26:37] But we have a lot of extra space on this property, so we're looking to expand our facility and part of that would be to offer the county and the sheriff's department space using portables so we don't have to have permanent installations.

[26:54] And one of the occupants that we'd love to see besides each county facility coming up once a month or something would be library.

[27:03] maybe every two weeks having you know volunteer reader or somebody come up but

[27:08] it would give you a place to expand your services but yeah but we have all

[27:16] the way to the fence lines on the other side of the berries and kind of

[27:22] don't realize it you know because they're there but it's something we'd like to

[27:27] to look at for within your future.

[27:30] So, I mean, this room could work.

[27:34] Yeah, I mean, it could be something.

[27:37] Yeah, yeah.

[27:38] But that would be, it would be harder in here during the weekday.

[27:43] But if we had a portable out there, like a classroom size,

[27:47] that you're looking like a con-ex type thing,

[27:50] or a double white commercial office that comes together,

[27:55] They're both together as air conditioning and heat and you don't necessarily need a pad

[28:01] for it.

[28:02] You know, I put them up in cow pastures and all over the place for medical so it works

[28:06] very well and it only takes six weeks to do it from the time usually, from the time you

[28:13] order it to the time it's delivered so it's a quick turnaround.

[28:17] But I know probably about eight years ago we did some story times, we had a little thing

[28:22] we're working out with the chivalids out there and we've done that type of thing for us.

[28:29] So we'll be back to you.

[28:32] Sounds good.

[28:33] Thank you very much.

[28:36] Thank you.

[28:36] Thank you very much.

[28:37] Thank you.

[28:38] You're welcome.

[28:39] All right.

[28:39] Thank you.

[28:41] Item six.

[28:42] Rosemary, together.

[28:45] Okay.

[28:47] Yes.

[28:47] So, consideration to offer our district to function for Central Park Administrators.

[28:57] So to give everybody an update on the FAR, can you do that?

[29:01] Sorry, no, we never, I did, I put that on because I don't know why I put your name there

[29:06] but they don't.

[29:07] Why are you talking about the FAR people?

[29:09] But to give everybody an update with the FAR folks, they then like, amazing.

[29:16] So a couple of things, one, they did put in for the rap grant and the county awarded

[29:23] them $20,000 or on the heart in Central.

[29:31] Now, there's a stipulation on that.

[29:34] So the park team has their EIN number, they have a bank account, they put all the paperwork

[29:43] in to get a 501C3.

[29:46] So, they're functioning, but they want to get that 501-C3 category, you can say also

[29:53] We don't need that for the $200,000, they can't be going to get them that.

[30:02] So they submitted that in January. They said it could take up to six months. So what they are, and they have started to get donations in. I know we gave them their checks for the $2,800 or whatever it was. And they put it in the bank. And they've been getting donations because now they're also putting together an Easter egg hunt. March 28th.

[30:28] at central, using the central fire station as a base,

[30:33] and the Easter egg hunt is free,

[30:36] but they're doing other things to put money

[30:39] and then people have been making some donations to them.

[30:43] So, if needed, if there's any money funding

[30:48] from the county, it may be to come through the,

[30:51] they need a special service district until they get

[30:55] there by the one D grade and they're asking could we still use the our

[31:01] district should something occur that they need to put that money there and

[31:06] then as they couldn't put it right now in there checking it. The reason I put

[31:11] this on is it's on the county's meeting schedule to Korean a new SSC just for

[31:17] the park and that seems like it's necessary. I think at this time it is but they're just saying

[31:25] if they need something, will we still continue to help them? Well that's why I wanted to know

[31:30] if we is a board. I would prefer the country to SSD for that because then it's created for that

[31:36] purpose and not I mean our SSD was created for fire service and not for a park. I don't want to feel

[31:43] I mean, the county can create SSDs all they want.

[31:47] Actually, it's them SSD that governs themselves,

[31:51] not governed by a bunch of other communities

[31:53] and that's set up just for that.

[31:56] And they do want that.

[31:58] It's just, it might be an interim if they need it.

[32:02] It's similar to what Dameron does.

[32:04] They supervise the parking.

[32:05] I understand what I,

[32:07] but it's not a permanent thing.

[32:09] They're not looking for a permanent thing.

[32:10] It's just an avenue.

[32:12] For example, it's the county, it's really, it's $20,000.

[32:18] If the county state needs to go somewhere, that's a good thing.

[32:22] Okay, you're open for that.

[32:24] Yeah, so it's not like the county's in line to create an SSD for that purpose, correct?

[32:28] I've dealt with the discussion.

[32:30] I'm not sure.

[32:31] That's why I didn't want to talk to them before we talked about it.

[32:34] I would prefer that it be its own entity, its own and not intermingle.

[32:40] I know it is a little bit a dammit because they have to manage both and you know

[32:45] now they've got firefighters, they've got to go out and know the law out of the park and things like that and I know that's

[32:51] a little bit of a headache. So, you know, I think they'd rather be paid to blast the ends of the wall or

[32:58] or something like that, but be that as it may,

[33:02] it's just one more thing to add to the list.

[33:06] So I know they got their state designation as a non-profit,

[33:11] but since they're not recognized by the IRS as a non-profit.

[33:15] Not at this time, correct.

[33:16] Then are those funds in parallel in the range we?

[33:20] Correct.

[33:22] What requirements does the county need to form an SSD?

[33:26] Do they have to have their final three-seeing work?

[33:29] No, no, no, it would be a public corporation.

[33:33] You wouldn't need to be a nonprofit.

[33:35] So that's a move point.

[33:36] If the county, just like with us,

[33:39] they do a proclamation and birth a birthday.

[33:43] They have a scope of practice, so to speak.

[33:47] And that's it.

[33:48] And then once the county approves it,

[33:52] then they have to have their...

[33:53] to get approval, you said they get it put on the docket for discussion and then have

[33:58] with them. Yeah, the county attorneys. Yeah, the county actually creates it. So the

[34:02] committee wouldn't create the SSD. The county creates it. The county would have to petition

[34:06] them to create it correct, or you have to at least submit some kind of. Well, I think they've

[34:11] already had that discussion with them. That's why it's on the docket. Yeah. But that would

[34:16] mean the county attorney would be involved and they would set the parameters for what they

[34:21] can do and create the district. I would imagine it's going to be a standby fee type of thing

[34:28] for the residents of Central if that was the whole purpose. There's no purpose to have

[34:34] a... Correct. They have what they did for the liability, the maintenance, those are two

[34:42] big things that everybody who they come across say to them, which is what we said to them

[34:47] in the very beginning, we'll hold this money, but we're concerned about liability and

[34:53] maintenance.

[34:54] So what we will do, so they have been researching all of that.

[34:58] Again.

[34:59] One that's for our conservatory property, and they said water concerns people who hold the

[35:03] liability.

[35:05] Say that again?

[35:06] The conservatory district will.

[35:08] Right.

[35:08] They've owned that property.

[35:10] Right.

[35:12] Well, but they're trying to get the water conservatory to sign that property.

[35:17] over to my understanding that's a long term, you know, a long term term.

[35:25] Under private.

[35:26] One or two better.

[35:27] Over to this.

[35:29] Okay.

[35:29] I have not heard that.

[35:31] I'll let them know.

[35:33] Okay.

[35:33] Well anyway, I don't think there's anything to do about it.

[35:36] I'll bring them back the message to work with the county to get their own special services

[35:40] directing and go from there.

[35:43] Because that's then what's the fight there.

[35:45] I mean, I mean the cleanest thing to do.

[35:48] So I'll make a motion to do no action on this agenda item.

[35:55] Okay.

[35:56] All in favor.

[35:57] Get number four.

[35:58] All right.

[35:58] Did you approve the minutes for game minutes?

[36:01] We did.

[36:01] Yeah.

[36:01] That was when you were stripping.

[36:03] I'm going to go play for a minute.

[36:05] Yeah.

[36:07] Well, I think we'll do it.

[36:09] All right.

[36:10] Okay.

[36:11] All right.

[36:12] Okay.

[36:13] and I, and against?

[36:16] Okay, I have lost some passes.

[36:20] Okay, so now we're item number seven, update on the 2026

[36:25] stand by a feed milling, our scut down.

[36:29] We got our billing out.

[36:31] In fact, I got the bills for the billing.

[36:34] Today, we got our first deposit, thank you, serve again,

[36:41] for allowing us to use the drop box.

[36:46] We have our first one, Dave.

[36:48] We have our first return item.

[36:51] And so we're underway.

[36:54] Did we resolve the issue for online billing?

[36:59] We're good to go.

[36:59] Yeah, I got, I talked to Tyler today.

[37:02] So like, most recent, there's an issue

[37:03] when someone wanted to put in their parcel number

[37:06] that the field only accept numerals

[37:09] and wouldn't accept, you know, our personal numbers are, you know,

[37:13] they'll make a lot of difference. So he's going to change that.

[37:17] So it'll be multi-characters and they can just put it in whatever that,

[37:20] that personal identification is into that field. So that should be done by law.

[37:25] Yes. So today I paid it through online.

[37:28] Oh, you did.

[37:28] And what I have to do for, so it's one of those with a red asterisk.

[37:33] So it won't process it until you put a number in.

[37:36] So it asks for a parcel number and it asks for the account number.

[37:40] So I ended up putting the account number in the parcel and the account number in the account

[37:45] number and the account number and then it went through.

[37:47] It wasn't an idea.

[37:48] So it wouldn't put in DDE, it just put in 1-10-13 but it's nothing because some of these

[37:55] are long and there's less than 10.

[37:58] That's the only thing that didn't work.

[38:00] So you said you'll try and get that fixed tonight so we should have it.

[38:02] Okay, let me know and I'll try and put him might be there.

[38:06] I'll see you with...

[38:08] I'll try it on the...

[38:09] In our website, you guys have to check it out.

[38:12] It looks great.

[38:14] Thank you.

[38:15] It looks great.

[38:18] He's a new webmaster and...

[38:21] Yeah, yeah, always.

[38:22] We have lunch out of here.

[38:26] Check it out.

[38:28] Okay.

[38:29] Okay, so hopefully we'll go off without a hitch.

[38:33] We expect less than a dozen returns this year.

[38:37] Yeah, last year I think we had 10 or 12.

[38:41] I don't have a question on the bill.

[38:43] Yes sir.

[38:44] On the Valentine's Day, this is from January 15th to April 11th.

[38:50] Is that meaning that we're going to have to know the bill?

[38:53] No.

[38:55] Where's it at?

[38:56] Yeah.

[38:58] I don't know what it is.

[39:00] They all know.

[39:00] That's right.

[39:01] That's right.

[39:02] That's right.

[39:03] That's right.

[39:04] What's true?

[39:05] I could mean, yeah.

[39:07] So they put the calls from the neighbors.

[39:09] Oh, yeah.

[39:11] They all know the board is there not out.

[39:13] Why are you guys doing all of the information?

[39:18] We know.

[39:22] So, we understand it's the same thing.

[39:24] is because that was the day for this year that we could start our business.

[39:29] That's why it's the 15th, but yeah, thank you.

[39:33] You're getting a lot of response back on that.

[39:35] Like I said, previously being on the board and a lot of people thinking I was there,

[39:40] I've got multiple calls today.

[39:41] Thank you for taking those.

[39:44] Thank you.

[39:44] Well, thanks very much on the website.

[39:47] The reason I'm here was the Riverside, because I didn't have an answer.

[39:50] I asked him why that was there a moment ago.

[39:53] And the hatred, oops, yeah, so somebody put that out

[39:58] and made letters on something for the neighborhood

[40:00] to read it and wanted to read it all.

[40:02] Yeah, my name is Jason, I got on the website.

[40:04] So, hey, this is...

[40:06] You got that PIO, what do you want to do?

[40:08] Oh, yeah.

[40:09] Oh, yeah.

[40:10] So, we can have them put it on there.

[40:11] Well, we have the sandwich board on it.

[40:13] How in front of the guest?

[40:15] It's interesting.

[40:16] Oh, that's interesting.

[40:17] Yeah.

[40:18] All our numbers are on here.

[40:19] I see the numbers, the numbers are there.

[40:22] Yeah, that would be there, but I'm, you know, the one that logged in as they were sent to me.

[40:27] I think the right and the right and the right are marked, but I mean...

[40:29] Thank you for thanking us.

[40:31] Thank you.

[40:33] We wouldn't have known, thank you.

[40:34] Sorry.

[40:35] No,

[40:42] thank you.

[40:43] We need to put out postcard again first.

[40:46] I need to return back and start.

[40:51] Oh, it is quick.

[40:53] Yeah.

[40:54] We're trying to be good to either send it out by email or put it on the Web site.

[41:04] Okay.

[41:05] I have one of the questions we've heard in finance.

[41:07] What do you know about the new state requirements?

[41:10] The HV48?

[41:12] I don't know that the governor signed it yet.

[41:15] As of Friday.

[41:16] Well, and basically the...

[41:20] And I don't even know how he hasn't got anything going.

[41:23] So basically, yes, they've got the map out,

[41:27] but they're not really doing anything yet.

[41:30] Are you talking about the new, the finance,

[41:33] regs that just got pushed through?

[41:35] No, that HB48.

[41:38] Oh, okay.

[41:40] Yeah.

[41:40] I guess the inspection with the charter song already.

[41:45] Well, the, yeah.

[41:48] The answer is nobody knows yet, don't you?

[41:50] They don't know you.

[41:52] I think, generally I've seen some numbers being bounced around that the high end will be $100 penalty for the high end and that's for your year.

[42:02] Here a year.

[42:04] When it's 18 for a standard?

[42:06] I think it's 30.

[42:07] Well, they just said, okay, if you've got a 6,000 foot house, it's your bill is going to be like a hundred bucks.

[42:16] and it's going to be gravitated down from there, but that's not based on their

[42:21] fire. No I think, basically the map of the area is already in and we're on it.

[42:31] You know basically I looked on the map for my property, which is down here in

[42:37] of the lane. And you know, as a firefighter, it's very minimal. You know, you compare it

[42:46] to pinion hills, which is a mess, but we're kind of in a moderate area. So if you're going

[42:55] to have vegetation around you forest and stuff, you're going to be more, but I'd like to

[43:02] say it's still, they don't even have inspectors out or any qualifications and said this is

[43:09] what we're going to do, you know, it's still, basically it's a mind game at this time point.

[43:19] Gordon?

[43:20] last

[43:30] week. Now, if you've had more water than the plant is, and then you think you're

[43:36] going to be able. And I wasn't supposed to, then because the big concern is, is the

[43:42] dress is primarily residential properties in the rocket body. There is no classification

[43:53] of education or absentee on it, on developed lots, and absentee lots, and that's one of the issues that

[44:02] panels applied to your issues looked at, too.

[44:05] I had sent communications to your guidance, and I'm going to ask them, I'm going to do that,

[44:14] ask them, get some part of the gain through the benefit of us to pay us, so that's the status.

[44:20] It's still up in the air.

[44:22] It's up on clear.

[44:25] The county has really nosed in progress

[44:27] with the law and I don't think they know what this is.

[44:30] Well, the state doesn't.

[44:33] Basically, the state was doing the meetings about it.

[44:40] And, you know, it's still up there.

[44:42] Basically, what it's going to be more pointed to is your insurance.

[44:51] and we have no control over that.

[44:54] So I just looked it up according to this one article.

[44:58] It says HV48 is set to go...

[45:00] We're going to affect on May 7, 2025, so that was last year. They imported you, but it's basically

[45:08] I'm going to be inside the gate, and you can see it's my gate.

[45:09] Do you have any other words of a first?

[45:10] Right.

[45:13] And I'm going to stay here.

[45:18] Okay.

[45:23] Alright, so...

[45:24] I don't number eight.

[45:27] You counting.

[45:28] Thank you.

[45:30] Oh, thank you.

[45:31] Are you guys having a good time?

[45:32] Nice to meet you.

[45:33] Are you waiting to hear from home?

[45:35] I'm sorry.

[45:37] I did want to be very badly.

[46:00] We put out an RFP to several CPAs that are on the state list because we have the

[46:09] grant from C.I.B. that pushed us over into audit territory. I think we had one of

[46:19] three hundred and twenty five thousand or so in twenty twenty five and in any

[46:28] case it for that for twenty twenty five we require a formal audit and it's

[46:36] straightforward. It was just because of the grant. Our books are extremely clean because

[46:41] we use florists and their public. So there should be any issue with the audit. The problem

[46:49] is the first firm that we discussed the audit with just merged with the national firm.

[46:57] So there are fees went up to as much as $8,000 to do a simple audit. And that's just

[47:04] cost prohibitive. So I contacted several more of the state contract list. We found two other firms that

[47:14] responded. One couldn't fit us in in time. The other one is looking at between 1800 and 3000 at the

[47:23] max. It's not due until June. It's due June 30th. But we like to get it done. Yes. So you need

[47:33] reports from florists, which they should have at this point. Yes. They have all the paperwork.

[47:37] And then our budget, our income last year was $457,000.

[47:48] And $457,600 and $1.

[47:53] So once you're over $350, you have to have a lot of CPA outside audit independent audit.

[48:02] So unless we're really blessed this year with an unexpected cash flow, this should be a one-time thing.

[48:09] Yeah, we're looking at a $246,800 income this year.

[48:19] So Chair, I think a motion that we accept that one that was taken.

[48:24] Yeah, a little bit.

[48:38] Okay, all in favor, any names, okay, passes, let's get it done.

[48:50] Okay.

[48:51] in our PTIF fund we have $123,445 in our buying account we have $14,000 going on in $66 and

[49:03] we have a little over $20,000 in accounts receivable from $245 so that brings us currently to $258,400

[49:14] $200, but for mine, and then we're getting our statutes for these years.

[49:21] And then, I'll be more than happy to pass these around, these are public coffees.

[49:28] Part of our commitment to all of the residents is to stay transparent.

[49:35] So all of our credit card chargers are here, listed by who purchased what and by whom.

[49:41] So, for January, first of the 31st, we spent $13,000 and it was the largest of those

[49:53] were repairing the vehicle that was damaged in the light and duty and medical supplies.

[50:00] And then in February, we spent $3650 that included our quarterly pest control.

[50:13] We spent about $350 a month for our official email service that includes GSA level DOD security

[50:24] from Google.

[50:25] So we have a Google Cloud account.

[50:27] So that's about 350 a month that's always going to be ongoing, but we also purchased

[50:34] Equipment we have five new EMTs that are graduating and I'll let Chief talk about that, but we had some repairs and

[50:46] All the expenses have been audited

[50:50] Our check right we only wrote five checks since January

[50:57] And it was just to cover $5,400 of that

[51:01] went to Damien Valley for the EMT course

[51:04] for those 6 EMTs.

[51:07] And our CPA took $2,400 and we got the emergency equipment

[51:13] installed on our new rescue for $2,909.

[51:17] And our insurance is $3,500 in quarter.

[51:20] So that's the check right that it did.

[51:23] and then we have a physical check that was returning the custodial funds that

[51:30] we had for the central park, so that returned the 2686 that we were holding for

[51:36] them.

[51:43] This is for the auto and not for work in the crowd. It's for auto and property for that

[51:51] quarter. We have a rebate because we took the ambulance.

[52:00] Yeah, it was for that one.

[52:04] So you're welcome to take a look at that. Anything else? I think that's it.

[52:12] Okay. All right. I'm number nine. In addition to, if you want to pay me two locks at

[52:19] Good luck.

[52:20] So this will make this really quick.

[52:23] Paula is on the water board at the gunlock.

[52:28] And one of the things problems you had there

[52:30] is having a place for a drop box, a secure drop box.

[52:34] A lot of people, we got a lot of back to pay by cash.

[52:36] And they're looking to find a secure place.

[52:40] I had made a suggestion.

[52:42] We've got a nice metal door there at the fire station.

[52:46] And it's simply located.

[52:49] I was looking at a mailbox similar to this, it would just be a door slot on the metal door

[52:55] there at the fire station, and it could be secured with a lock on the other side.

[53:02] This is something I, of course, of the waterboard there, that they take care of installing, but

[53:08] I wanted to get permission of the board to be able to do something like that, and then

[53:12] Then it could be a dual functioning where people could make their fire payments there as well.

[53:21] I mean, I like to make their water payments every month and so that's one of the other reasons.

[53:25] But we could also use this as a drop box for our fire fees.

[53:32] But again, I wanted the board approval before we went in and put that on the fire station.

[53:38] But just one of that would be...

[53:39] Would Paula be the responsible part? She would be the responsible party. Well, there's a log one that go into the one here

[53:46] I just think

[53:50] It would be it would be very convenient for the people in Godlock. It's it's a it's a central location there

[53:56] Fire station and this it's about $70 for the box that probably be about that much to install it, but I

[54:04] I make the motion to do it regardless of whether they pay for it.

[54:07] I think that would be a good commission service for Conlock for our payments.

[54:11] So just so I know, on the outside of the door, you put it in,

[54:15] you get the jacks off from the inside.

[54:17] You simply have a slot like that looking like that on the door.

[54:22] And then the other side would be the box.

[54:23] Yes.

[54:24] And a slot on the inside.

[54:26] Yes.

[54:27] Perfect.

[54:27] So yeah no this is a man door it's a metal man. Oh just like this right now.

[54:40] It's a swinging door. It's a regular swinging door just like this one.

[54:43] Are you talking about the device?

[54:46] Oh, all the post-op, yeah, it looks like,

[54:49] from the picture, that it's a drop-imp, is it?

[54:51] The only problem with the OSU weather,

[54:53] when you have it dropped down,

[54:56] if you, the ammunition, when there's years ago,

[54:59] with the one of the warsborne in Central,

[55:01] and then look at the assets like the old mailbox.

[55:05] Yeah, it's a consideration.

[55:07] Well, let's take a look at it.

[55:08] I think we've gotten up on it over the top of it.

[55:11] I don't know if that would be the problem.

[55:12] Well, you can just put a weather seal on the outside of the government, but I just want to make sure the board wouldn't have any problem with it.

[55:23] I'll make the motion to prove it first, ask the Waterborne to pay for it, at least pay for the install, but regardless for $70, I make the motion to do it just for the convenience of the gunlock residents.

[55:40] Okay, well he does vote on that that was the motion. I got the motion. Okay

[55:47] That was second yeah, okay

[55:50] All in favor

[55:54] Wonder yeah, thank you so much. That one passes. I

[56:00] don't number 10

[56:04] Refects for proposal on the

[56:07] Working on the bay doors

[56:12] That's huge.

[56:14] Oh, Lordy, I put out an RFP for four companies

[56:19] in the St. George area.

[56:21] The only response I got last week,

[56:25] that was from a month ago, was from our current vendor.

[56:29] So A-plus, I guess, wins the prize

[56:33] since they're the only respondents.

[56:35] I've done a good job.

[56:36] Yes, they have.

[56:37] They really have.

[56:38] So it looks like they're giving us

[56:41] It's a bit of a discount off of the call for service services that we had.

[56:47] So we'll ask them to gin up a contract that we can look at, but I'd like to move forward

[56:56] with asking them to go ahead and proceed with a firm contract for services for 2026.

[57:05] Do y'all agree with that?

[57:09] Okay, all in favor?

[57:12] Aye.

[57:13] And against?

[57:14] Nope.

[57:15] Okay.

[57:16] Motion passes.

[57:19] Okay.

[57:20] I don't remember 11.

[57:21] The update on the certificate of appreciation for the light.

[57:26] Okay.

[57:27] Just like the data in here.

[57:29] The outflow.

[57:31] Lodge.

[57:32] Sorry.

[57:32] the outlawed 1743 donated $23,855 to Central Fire Department in January, and that was just

[57:45] unbelievable, unexpected, incredible, and they were going to present us with a large

[57:53] format check at one of their launch meetings. It got postponed and we didn't hear

[58:02] So in exchange for that, we did a certificate of appreciation and a resolution thanking them for those funds and this is a picture of their board and our chiefs accepting that up with central fire.

[58:17] So, I did two of them, one to hang in central and one to give to them once we get down to that meeting because that's just above and beyond what anybody could expect from an organization.

[58:32] So, this is just amazing, so we'll sign these and present that to them.

[58:41] So I spoke to the one of the trustees down there and the one story short, she was going

[58:47] to check with the board because they had to find out when they were going to do it because

[58:54] they had it for January and then they both found it and they have not rescheduled it.

[58:59] So to the state you will let everybody know.

[59:02] Okay, I'm number 12, consideration and draft MOU between the NWSST and the UNLV to view copies

[59:14] by printing copies. I've prepared a MOU just simply states that the fire district and

[59:24] the water district will enter into agreement that says that we will provide water here without

[59:30] charge of the armed service fee of eight times if you provide fire service without charging

[59:39] us and essentially this puts in writing what has already been taken place over the years

[59:45] which just makes it in writing so that both parties know.

[59:51] and what that will do is wait the $730, $760, I received a bill.

[1:00:00] Well, for 762, unexpectedly, so that's what prompted the discussion. And we do that for all of the water districts. Yes, the board of communities. So we kind of. Yeah. Okay. So do we. I'm sorry. I didn't see that. Let's help. Is that.

[1:00:30] So it has to go before or so it would have to be a group by this board and then the water

[1:00:36] company board we just go there next to. Okay, do you guys need to get going? Yeah, because

[1:00:41] you're almost there, right? Okay. So I'll make a motion that we accept this MOU for with

[1:00:49] the bail, culinary, water, and the fire is basically to weigh the early fees to one

[1:00:55] another.

[1:00:56] I said that.

[1:00:57] Okay.

[1:00:58] All in favor?

[1:01:00] Aye.

[1:01:01] Any against?

[1:01:03] Okay.

[1:01:05] That passes.

[1:01:08] Okay.

[1:01:10] Item number 13 is we close the letter meeting for a closed session on personnel matters.

[1:01:18] So are we going to do that?

[1:01:21] I guess upstairs,

[1:01:25] if y'all want to go or stay you can either way it should be fairly quick.

[1:01:30] Do you want us to, and is your press go upstairs, we'll go upstairs.

[1:01:46] It's 7.34 p.m. and we're going off the record.
