and to Republic for which it

24
00:00:56,538 --> 00:00:57,174
stands. Nation GOD,

25
00:00:57,174 --> 00:00:59,174
indivisible, with liberty

26
00:01:00,910 --> 00:01:01,311
justice for all. Thank you,

27
00:01:01,311 --> 00:01:01,978
gentlemen.

28
00:01:01,978 --> 00:01:04,378
>> Thank you, everyone for

29
00:01:07,150 --> 00:01:07,850
participating. So MISS

30
00:01:07,850 --> 00:01:08,485
Jessica, do we have been new

31
00:01:08,485 --> 00:01:10,885
war to proclamations this

32
00:01:13,489 --> 00:01:14,758
morning? No, Okay. We're gonna

33
00:01:14,758 --> 00:01:16,660
move on to public comments. I

34
00:01:16,660 --> 00:01:19,660
do have cards filled out.

35
00:01:22,980 --> 00:01:25,698
First. I have Rick. You won't

36
00:01:37,213 --> 00:01:40,213
come up and talk place.

37
00:01:41,651 --> 00:01:43,651
Good

38
00:01:44,820 --> 00:01:46,820
morning, gentleman. Morning.

39
00:01:48,910 --> 00:01:49,426
>> My name is Rick Blaney and

40
00:01:49,426 --> 00:01:50,590
I am the author of a play

41
00:01:50,590 --> 00:01:53,590
called Inside The Mind of

42
00:01:53,197 --> 00:01:55,999
Addiction. And for the first

43
00:01:55,999 --> 00:01:58,399
time on stage addiction

44
00:01:58,968 --> 00:02:00,700
becomes alive. Character. And

45
00:02:00,700 --> 00:02:03,700
gentleman before any of you

46
00:02:04,774 --> 00:02:05,475
get worried. Character of

47
00:02:05,475 --> 00:02:08,475
addiction was not named after

48
00:02:09,946 --> 00:02:12,215
any of you. Let's get to know.

49
00:02:12,215 --> 00:02:15,815
His name is Jack Jack's know

50
00:02:21,658 --> 00:02:24,761
Zach. As an Snow, Jack, not

51
00:02:24,761 --> 00:02:27,290
make sure you didn't get her

52
00:02:27,290 --> 00:02:27,664
lawyer promised. I was trying

53
00:02:27,664 --> 00:02:29,567
Jack is very friendly sit

54
00:02:29,567 --> 00:02:31,368
down. Have a drink with you.

55
00:02:31,368 --> 00:02:34,400
>> His last name is snow. You

56
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:38,204
get to know him. He can turn

57
00:02:41,811 --> 00:02:42,512
is cold as ice. I had a

58
00:02:42,512 --> 00:02:45,512
question that lived inside my

59
00:02:47,583 --> 00:02:49,185
mind for a long time. What if

60
00:02:49,185 --> 00:02:51,585
we could separate the

61
00:02:53,222 --> 00:02:54,558
addiction from the person?

62
00:02:54,558 --> 00:02:57,160
Because a lot of times what we

63
00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:00,160
see, we only see outward

64
00:03:00,231 --> 00:03:02,631
appearance of addiction. The

65
00:03:04,267 --> 00:03:04,902
bad behavior, the bad choices,

66
00:03:04,902 --> 00:03:06,902
broken relationships, the

67
00:03:09,305 --> 00:03:10,473
family problems. But if we

68
00:03:10,473 --> 00:03:12,576
could see inside the mind of

69
00:03:12,576 --> 00:03:13,409
addiction, that all might

70
00:03:13,409 --> 00:03:17,900
change. So inside the mind of

71
00:03:17,981 --> 00:03:19,249
addiction. Brings this subject

72
00:03:19,249 --> 00:03:22,252
matter live on stage and I

73
00:03:22,252 --> 00:03:22,886
completely different way.

74
00:03:22,886 --> 00:03:25,286
Addiction becomes a life

75
00:03:25,589 --> 00:03:27,989
character. And once the

76
00:03:28,910 --> 00:03:30,491
audience sees that. Changes

77
00:03:31,194 --> 00:03:33,162
everything. The purpose of

78
00:03:33,162 --> 00:03:36,762
this play is not to glorify

79
00:03:37,567 --> 00:03:40,567
addiction. Purpose of the play

80
00:03:41,504 --> 00:03:42,238
is to bring understanding. So

81
00:03:42,238 --> 00:03:44,638
that family members, churches,

82
00:03:45,875 --> 00:03:46,642
communities. We'll have a

83
00:03:46,642 --> 00:03:47,376
better understanding of what

84
00:03:47,376 --> 00:03:50,976
their loved one might be going

85
00:03:54,184 --> 00:03:57,784
through. This is not simply a

86
00:04:01,558 --> 00:04:02,259
play. This is something play

87
00:04:02,259 --> 00:04:03,293
that people watch. This is a

88
00:04:03,293 --> 00:04:03,994
play that people experience.

89
00:04:03,994 --> 00:04:07,594
And then once they have done

90
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,600
that. It changes everything.

91
00:04:12,869 --> 00:04:14,471
This is extremely. Important

92
00:04:14,471 --> 00:04:17,471
to me because I'm struggling

93
00:04:17,975 --> 00:04:20,975
with my own addiction. Today.

94
00:04:24,815 --> 00:04:25,882
I am down. Over 110 pounds

95
00:04:25,882 --> 00:04:28,882
dealing with my own every

96
00:04:29,219 --> 00:04:32,819
single day. And if you have

97
00:04:32,823 --> 00:04:36,423
any questions. I'm open to any

98
00:04:36,459 --> 00:04:37,930
questions you might have.

99
00:04:37,930 --> 00:04:40,930
>> Thank you so much. We

100
00:04:48,671 --> 00:04:51,710
appreciate the comments. Okay.

101
00:04:56,790 --> 00:04:59,790
Next to have Jeremy Arnold.

102
00:05:00,784 --> 00:05:01,885
Good morning, fellas.

103
00:05:01,885 --> 00:05:02,552
>> I'm here to talk about the

104
00:05:02,552 --> 00:05:04,854
biggest issue facing of the

105
00:05:04,854 --> 00:05:05,555
chill. Be county today. And

106
00:05:05,555 --> 00:05:07,955
that is Hispanic demographic

107
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:10,760
replacement. Okeechobee was

108
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:11,395
founded, settled and built by

109
00:05:11,395 --> 00:05:14,395
white people and those of

110
00:05:14,431 --> 00:05:15,365
European descent. Through

111
00:05:15,365 --> 00:05:17,334
their extreme toils,

112
00:05:17,334 --> 00:05:18,200
sacrifice, ingenuity,

113
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,402
perseverance. The town of

114
00:05:20,739 --> 00:05:21,372
Okeechobee was born and its

115
00:05:21,372 --> 00:05:22,940
spirit group as its white

116
00:05:22,940 --> 00:05:25,340
population grew. That spirit

117
00:05:26,143 --> 00:05:29,143
is dying. Our ancestors built

118
00:05:29,313 --> 00:05:32,783
this town under one GOD, one

119
00:05:32,783 --> 00:05:34,384
language and predominantly one

120
00:05:34,384 --> 00:05:35,285
And this race has its own

121
00:05:35,285 --> 00:05:35,885
unique culture values, customs

122
00:05:35,885 --> 00:05:37,885
traditions, and shared

123
00:05:39,122 --> 00:05:41,325
history. Okeechobee has always

124
00:05:41,325 --> 00:05:42,260
reflected the white culture.

125
00:05:42,260 --> 00:05:43,794
It must be preserved. And if

126
00:05:43,794 --> 00:05:44,461
it's not preserved, it will

127
00:05:44,461 --> 00:05:47,461
reflect the culture. Not a

128
00:05:48,565 --> 00:05:49,266
ballroom. We are duty bound to

129
00:05:49,266 --> 00:05:52,203
honor our ancestors and those

130
00:05:52,203 --> 00:05:54,371
who came before us. They

131
00:05:54,371 --> 00:05:55,720
intended on their posterity to

132
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:56,873
inherit this county, not for

133
00:05:56,873 --> 00:05:59,910
to be handed over to aliens.

134
00:05:59,910 --> 00:06:00,610
Young men and women. Our youth

135
00:06:00,610 --> 00:06:02,846
are shaped by the town. They

136
00:06:02,846 --> 00:06:06,446
grow up in. Shaped by the

137
00:06:07,217 --> 00:06:07,785
traditions rooted in its oil.

138
00:06:07,785 --> 00:06:08,519
Today, our youth are

139
00:06:08,519 --> 00:06:11,321
suffering. Their town is under

140
00:06:11,321 --> 00:06:12,210
a massive transformation. It's

141
00:06:12,210 --> 00:06:14,421
old traditions clashing with

142
00:06:16,259 --> 00:06:17,294
those of another race. This

143
00:06:17,294 --> 00:06:17,928
new demographic of people are

144
00:06:17,928 --> 00:06:20,328
absorbing the finite jobs

145
00:06:20,731 --> 00:06:21,598
rentals, housing. Equals less

146
00:06:21,598 --> 00:06:22,232
and less opportunity for

147
00:06:22,232 --> 00:06:24,632
posterity of the founding

148
00:06:25,969 --> 00:06:26,637
stop. We cannot sit idly by as

149
00:06:26,637 --> 00:06:29,370
this inequity continues on

150
00:06:31,474 --> 00:06:32,143
impeded. All in this with the

151
00:06:32,143 --> 00:06:35,790
numbers and town was once a

152
00:06:35,790 --> 00:06:35,679
predominantly white town in

153
00:06:35,679 --> 00:06:38,790
the year 2000 or white

154
00:06:39,217 --> 00:06:39,917
population fell to 50%. Today.

155
00:06:39,917 --> 00:06:42,917
They sit at a staggering 16%.

156
00:06:43,754 --> 00:06:44,455
White population. The European

157
00:06:44,455 --> 00:06:45,122
culture that once flourished

158
00:06:45,122 --> 00:06:48,580
their their way of life is

159
00:06:48,580 --> 00:06:48,759
gone. Were placed with the

160
00:06:48,759 --> 00:06:51,159
Hispanic culture and Hispanic

161
00:06:51,963 --> 00:06:53,764
way of life. In the year 2010,

162
00:06:53,764 --> 00:06:56,164
Okeechobee had a white

163
00:06:56,467 --> 00:06:57,167
population just over 85%

164
00:06:57,167 --> 00:07:00,167
today, that number is filled

165
00:07:00,671 --> 00:07:03,671
to 50%. That is a horrendous

166
00:07:03,841 --> 00:07:04,876
decline. And just 16 years.

167
00:07:04,876 --> 00:07:07,100
We're at a critical juncture.

168
00:07:07,100 --> 00:07:08,446
We cannot reconcile ourselves

169
00:07:08,446 --> 00:07:09,146
to defeat. We cannot just

170
00:07:09,146 --> 00:07:11,546
accept this looming minority

171
00:07:12,883 --> 00:07:13,851
status. We must prioritize our

172
00:07:13,851 --> 00:07:14,518
own people. We must preserve

173
00:07:14,518 --> 00:07:16,918
our culture does preserving

174
00:07:21,725 --> 00:07:22,292
Okeechobee County.

175
00:07:22,292 --> 00:07:22,927
>> Thank you for your

176
00:07:22,927 --> 00:07:23,627
comments. How around? I'm

177
00:07:23,627 --> 00:07:25,462
probably not the best one for

178
00:07:25,462 --> 00:07:27,230
you to address that, too.

179
00:07:27,230 --> 00:07:27,931
Because this board represents

180
00:07:27,931 --> 00:07:30,331
all residents Okeechobee. But

181
00:07:33,738 --> 00:07:37,338
thank you say later. Not best

182
00:07:38,676 --> 00:07:40,444
day for that. I get covid that

183
00:07:40,444 --> 00:07:43,444
kept that pretty clean? I

184
00:07:45,949 --> 00:07:47,718
didn't say what I want to say.

185
00:07:47,718 --> 00:07:50,118
Okay. Through public comment.

186
00:07:52,156 --> 00:07:54,358
Thank CHAIRMAN. Yes, I'd like

187
00:07:54,358 --> 00:07:55,359
to take moment and public

188
00:07:55,359 --> 00:07:57,494
comment. Real quick, just let

189
00:07:57,494 --> 00:07:58,362
you all know. Our new hire

190
00:07:58,362 --> 00:07:59,290
candidates in the back part of

191
00:07:59,290 --> 00:08:00,998
the changes that chief mine

192
00:08:00,998 --> 00:08:01,766

330
00:12:53,524 --> 00:12:54,726

331
00:12:54,726 --> 00:12:56,394

332
00:12:56,394 --> 00:12:58,394
Okeechobee based

333
00:12:58,429 --> 00:12:59,130
not-for-profit, we are

334
00:12:59,130 --> 00:12:59,830
requesting that the board of

335
00:12:59,830 --> 00:13:01,365
County commissioners consider

336
00:13:01,365 --> 00:13:03,601
and approve the acceptance of

337
00:13:03,601 --> 00:13:06,601
a donation. The amount is

338
00:13:07,272 --> 00:13:08,139
actually $3,542. And $0.55.

339
00:13:08,139 --> 00:13:11,108
Not the amount listed in the

340
00:13:11,108 --> 00:13:13,508
background. That was my

341
00:13:14,279 --> 00:13:15,279
mistake. This amount, the

342
00:13:15,279 --> 00:13:17,279
$3,542.55 is exactly 50% of

343
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:20,218
the project in accordance with

344
00:13:20,218 --> 00:13:22,218
the administrative regulation.

345
00:13:22,455 --> 00:13:24,256
4.0 5, which is our donation

346
00:13:24,256 --> 00:13:25,723

347
00:13:25,723 --> 00:13:26,390
support the hogwash extension

348
00:13:26,390 --> 00:13:28,393
project that was completed

349
00:13:28,393 --> 00:13:30,280
earlier this year at the

350
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:32,331

351
00:13:32,331 --> 00:13:34,399

out there every year. We have

361
00:13:49,147 --> 00:13:51,415
grown substantially. And with

362
00:13:51,415 --> 00:13:53,510
this growth, we need

363
00:13:53,510 --> 00:13:53,785

for us.

374
00:14:12,971 --> 00:14:16,308
>> We developed a fund a few

375
00:14:16,308 --> 00:14:17,420
years ago for expansion growth

376
00:14:17,420 --> 00:14:20,420

have a new applicant. Must

801
00:26:53,967 --> 00:26:55,769
Nicole Pena. She is at the

804
00:26:58,304 --> 00:26:59,873
verified all of the

805
00:26:59,873 --> 00:27:00,607

00:27:00,607 --> 00:27:01,341

00:27:01,341 --> 00:27:04,341
the requirements serve on this

808
00:27:05,579 --> 00:27:06,747
board. MR. Chair.

809
00:27:06,747 --> 00:27:07,582
>> Yes, Jacqueline, if it's a

810
00:27:07,582 --> 00:27:09,982
staggered board, how could 5

811
00:27:10,485 --> 00:27:10,785
of them come up at the same

812
00:27:10,785 --> 00:27:12,486
time?

813
00:27:12,486 --> 00:27:14,522
>> So 3 of them were do JULY

814
00:27:14,522 --> 00:27:15,989
first 2026, however, to from

815
00:27:15,989 --> 00:27:17,724
last year were not renewed

816
00:27:17,724 --> 00:27:18,925
when they should have been in

817
00:27:18,925 --> 00:27:19,259
2025. That makes make more

818
00:27:19,259 --> 00:27:21,259
sense.

819
00:27:21,729 --> 00:27:24,729
>> Getting in What about your

820
00:27:25,432 --> 00:27:25,833
CHAIRMAN? Are you going to

821
00:27:25,833 --> 00:27:27,833
keep them?

822
00:27:28,669 --> 00:27:29,970
>> I think some of that's why

823
00:27:29,970 --> 00:27:30,437
they all over. This said

824
00:27:30,437 --> 00:27:32,437
CHAIRMAN Of the

825
00:27:34,441 --> 00:27:36,441

I'm a I'm a new recommendation

828
00:27:40,381 --> 00:27:43,381
that I made the recommendation

829
00:27:43,751 --> 00:27:47,154
than you see if you like it.

830
00:27:47,154 --> 00:27:49,554

2029 term. MR. Sharkey. For

833
00:28:01,168 --> 00:28:01,801
the 30th term. And then we'll

834
00:28:01,801 --> 00:28:03,904
go down to 3 that are

835
00:28:03,904 --> 00:28:05,972
associated with the subject to

Centre is 29. He's 30 Pena,

838
00:28:17,986 --> 00:28:20,386
30. If it was emotional.

839
00:28:20,887 --> 00:28:21,989
Second, it was a motion and we

840
00:28:21,989 --> 00:28:22,724
have a motion by Commissioner

841
00:28:22,724 --> 00:28:23,591
Burrows second by Commissioner

842
00:28:23,591 --> 00:28:25,591

843
00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:28,262
>> Any further discussion all

00:28:28,262 --> 00:28:28,929

00:28:30,464 --> 00:28:32,464
unanimously. Thank you.

847
00:28:38,538 --> 00:28:39,540
Jackson. Are We have one more

848
00:28:39,540 --> 00:28:40,908
tourism related item for you.

849
00:28:40,908 --> 00:28:41,275
But I'm going to hop in on

850
00:28:41,275 --> 00:28:41,975
this one.

851
00:28:41,975 --> 00:28:44,975
>> And let Jacqueline take a

852
00:28:45,513 --> 00:28:48,615
break. But I have to say a

853
00:28:48,615 --> 00:28:49,349
good job on these items. She's

854
00:28:49,349 --> 00:28:51,749
really certainly coming along.

855
00:28:55,622 --> 00:28:56,257
Isn't she? This item? Was I

856
00:28:56,257 --> 00:28:56,957
was asked by the county

857
00:28:56,957 --> 00:28:58,957
Administrator, Bertha, bring

858
00:29:00,494 --> 00:29:03,330
this to you. This is related

859
00:29:03,330 --> 00:29:03,997
to how our expenditure

860
00:29:03,997 --> 00:29:05,799
procedures with the tourism

861
00:29:05,799 --> 00:29:07,799
development advisory board.

862
00:29:09,102 --> 00:29:10,270
Which we call the Tdc.

863
00:29:10,270 --> 00:29:12,273
Normally, I would bring this

864
00:29:12,273 --> 00:29:12,973
to the tdc board first and

865
00:29:12,973 --> 00:29:13,640
then bring it to you. That's

866
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:16,430
kind of how we handle most

867
00:29:16,430 --> 00:29:17,444
expenditure items there. But

868
00:29:17,444 --> 00:29:20,444
they don't meet until AUGUST.

869
00:29:21,114 --> 00:29:22,160
So I'm trying kind of get

870
00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:25,160
through this before I leave

871
00:29:25,252 --> 00:29:27,122
for us all year to ease. All

872
00:29:27,122 --> 00:29:28,560
right. So basically

873
00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:29,757
historically how we've handled

874
00:29:29,757 --> 00:29:31,425
this is we've had one tourism

875
00:29:31,425 --> 00:29:32,560
development coordinator, staff

876
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:34,960
member handling tourism for

877
00:29:36,263 --> 00:29:38,799
many, many years. That person

878
00:29:38,799 --> 00:29:39,634
generally spending authority

879
00:29:39,634 --> 00:29:40,334
as we kind closed out that

880
00:29:40,334 --> 00:29:42,369
because that position, that's

881
00:29:42,369 --> 00:29:45,369
the way it stood. They're

882
00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:47,307
spending 30 was around $5,000.

883
00:29:47,307 --> 00:29:49,209
So they're spending authority

884
00:29:49,209 --> 00:29:52,279
with the tdc Board for things

885
00:29:52,279 --> 00:29:52,913
like promotional items,

886
00:29:52,913 --> 00:29:54,314
travel, tourism, related

887
00:29:54,314 --> 00:29:55,349
conferences and travel shows

888
00:29:55,349 --> 00:29:57,552
or advertising was right

889
00:29:57,552 --> 00:29:58,686
around that $5,000 Mark, she

890
00:29:58,686 --> 00:30:01,686
had expressed that with the

891
00:30:02,656 --> 00:30:03,791
Tdc Council, Tdc Council had

892
00:30:03,791 --> 00:30:04,791
basically given her kind of

893
00:30:04,791 --> 00:30:08,391
that authority to spend up to

894
00:30:08,429 --> 00:30:11,429
to $5,000. With the bases that

895
00:30:11,799 --> 00:30:12,833
it was tourism related

896
00:30:12,833 --> 00:30:14,769
expenditures. When she left, I

897
00:30:14,769 --> 00:30:15,903
took over the department. My

898
00:30:15,903 --> 00:30:17,538
spending authority was

899
00:30:17,538 --> 00:30:18,639
substantially higher than

900
00:30:18,639 --> 00:30:21,639
that. However, kept with that

901
00:30:22,342 --> 00:30:24,780
routine. A $5,000. So if there

902
00:30:24,780 --> 00:30:25,246
was an expenditure under

903
00:30:25,246 --> 00:30:26,747
$5,000 at was tourism related,

904
00:30:26,747 --> 00:30:28,782
that made sense. The tdc board

905
00:30:28,782 --> 00:30:29,950
had approved that with me to

906
00:30:29,950 --> 00:30:32,950
kind of keep that same

907
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:35,657
procedure going as we move on

908
00:30:35,657 --> 00:30:36,492
the department's grown. Now we

909
00:30:36,492 --> 00:30:40,920
have the tdc coordinator and a

910
00:30:40,661 --> 00:30:41,596
manager over that department.

911
00:30:41,596 --> 00:30:43,631
Expenses seemed to keep

912
00:30:43,631 --> 00:30:44,465
growing there. We have some

913
00:30:44,465 --> 00:30:45,532
larger routine expenses.

914
00:30:45,532 --> 00:30:48,532
They're like our website and

915
00:30:49,571 --> 00:30:50,438
app we have the Christmas

916
00:30:50,438 --> 00:30:51,238
program we have, you know, a

917
00:30:51,238 --> 00:30:54,175
lot of other larger Fisher

918
00:30:54,175 --> 00:30:56,770
fishing tournaments coming. We

919
00:30:56,770 --> 00:30:57,445
just want to make sure that we

920
00:30:57,445 --> 00:31:01,450
revisit this with both the Tdc

921
00:31:01,950 --> 00:31:02,617
board and this board. Get some

922
00:31:02,617 --> 00:31:05,186
direction from you on where

923
00:31:05,186 --> 00:31:06,453
your comfort level is. Because

924
00:31:06,453 --> 00:31:07,155
a lot of these expenses with

925
00:31:07,155 --> 00:31:10,755
tourism are Kent. The kind of

926
00:31:11,692 --> 00:31:12,626
come up. Throughout the years,

927
00:31:12,626 --> 00:31:14,626
new advertising opportunities,

928
00:31:14,695 --> 00:31:16,695
new sponsorship opportunities,

929
00:31:20,201 --> 00:31:20,935
new opportunities to market

930
00:31:20,935 --> 00:31:23,335
The counties through different

931
00:31:24,710 --> 00:31:25,239
activities. It's really

932
00:31:25,239 --> 00:31:27,241
important that they have some

933
00:31:27,241 --> 00:31:29,641
direction because the tdc

934
00:31:31,112 --> 00:31:31,779
board meets quarterly. So it's

935
00:31:31,779 --> 00:31:34,779
not always feasible for the

936
00:31:35,850 --> 00:31:37,685
tdc cordinator manager to wait

937
00:31:37,685 --> 00:31:38,719
to the next edc board meeting

938
00:31:38,719 --> 00:31:39,420
to get approval on an

939
00:31:39,420 --> 00:31:42,257
expenditure. If it's within a

940
00:31:42,257 --> 00:31:43,124
reasonable amount. So we're

941
00:31:43,124 --> 00:31:44,927
bringing this to for

942
00:31:44,927 --> 00:31:46,161
discussion just to get some

943
00:31:46,161 --> 00:31:47,595
guidance from you on where

944
00:31:47,595 --> 00:31:51,195
your comfort level is. With td

945
00:31:51,465 --> 00:31:52,133
Sate Tdc staff expenditures.

946
00:31:52,133 --> 00:31:52,767
I'm here to answer any

947
00:31:52,767 --> 00:31:54,767
historical questions. And

948
00:31:54,769 --> 00:31:57,769
Jacqueline us here to receive

949
00:32:03,677 --> 00:32:04,379
your direction moving forward.

950
00:32:04,379 --> 00:32:06,779
>> You're thinking that the 5

951
00:32:08,249 --> 00:32:08,783
is too low of a number.

952
00:32:08,783 --> 00:32:10,783
>> I'm still pretty

953
00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:11,719
comfortable with the 5,000 if

954
00:32:11,719 --> 00:32:12,921
it's bigger than that, you

955
00:32:12,921 --> 00:32:13,521
know, we certainly try to take

956
00:32:13,521 --> 00:32:16,791
it to the board or will

957
00:32:16,791 --> 00:32:17,592
convene a meeting. But there

958
00:32:17,592 --> 00:32:19,694
have been more and more

959
00:32:19,694 --> 00:32:22,694
instances where it would be

960
00:32:22,697 --> 00:32:23,497
like 5100 or 5500 getting

961
00:32:23,497 --> 00:32:24,165
close and with inflation and

962
00:32:24,165 --> 00:32:26,565
everything else that would

963
00:32:28,937 --> 00:32:30,538
make And having to reconvene

964
00:32:30,538 --> 00:32:32,938
the council. It's definitely

965
00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:36,344
101 5. Thousands, ok? I don't

966
00:32:36,344 --> 00:32:39,114
know. I I don't know your

967
00:32:39,114 --> 00:32:39,848
expenses. Well enough to know

968
00:32:39,848 --> 00:32:40,648
saying, hey, sugar to 6 would

969
00:32:40,648 --> 00:32:43,117
get the job done or if it

970
00:32:43,117 --> 00:32:45,517
needs to go to 7500.

971
00:32:46,354 --> 00:32:46,854
>> As a quarter, top number.

972
00:32:46,854 --> 00:32:49,254
That would take a

973
00:32:49,357 --> 00:32:51,357
recommendation from you.

974
00:32:52,394 --> 00:32:54,290
>> And I do want to be clear

975
00:32:54,290 --> 00:32:54,797
that regardless of how that's

976
00:32:54,797 --> 00:32:57,599
handled, we still have a

977
00:32:57,599 --> 00:32:59,867
procurement policy to follow.

978
00:32:59,867 --> 00:33:00,968
So even if it goes over

979
00:33:00,968 --> 00:33:01,669
certain spending authority, it

980
00:33:01,669 --> 00:33:03,438
still needs to go through the

981
00:33:03,438 --> 00:33:04,105
right channels and the right,

982
00:33:04,105 --> 00:33:06,374
the right process here for

983
00:33:06,374 --> 00:33:08,443
bids and things like that. A

984
00:33:08,443 --> 00:33:11,379
lot of things for tdc tend to

985
00:33:11,379 --> 00:33:12,790
be exempted from like the

986
00:33:12,790 --> 00:33:14,215
three-bed policy because it's

987
00:33:14,215 --> 00:33:14,849
artwork or advertising or

988
00:33:14,849 --> 00:33:16,117
something that you can't

989
00:33:16,117 --> 00:33:17,180
really compare apples to

990
00:33:17,180 --> 00:33:18,586
apples, too. But just to give

991
00:33:18,586 --> 00:33:21,586
you some reference on that,

992
00:33:23,791 --> 00:33:24,892
Mr, CHAIRMAN. Yes, sir.

993
00:33:24,892 --> 00:33:25,593
>> You and I think good

994
00:33:25,593 --> 00:33:26,194
Commissioner summer brings up

995
00:33:26,194 --> 00:33:27,195
a good point about the

996
00:33:27,195 --> 00:33:29,595
inflation as spectrum. What

997
00:33:32,670 --> 00:33:32,700
people come in here with. I

998
00:33:32,700 --> 00:33:33,434
would be comfortable with

999
00:33:33,434 --> 00:33:36,604
giving I'm not going. I'm with

1000
00:33:36,604 --> 00:33:37,205
the. When I say Look at

1001
00:33:37,205 --> 00:33:38,239
Commissioner good bread

1002
00:33:38,239 --> 00:33:39,730
because he's the chair this

1003
00:33:39,730 --> 00:33:41,642
and they know that finances

1004
00:33:41,642 --> 00:33:43,344
and everything. I don't. I

1005
00:33:43,344 --> 00:33:46,344
would be comfortable. Give you

1006
00:33:47,581 --> 00:33:48,283
a a up to a $10,000 level.

1007
00:33:48,283 --> 00:33:48,950
Thank you. As you come for to

1008
00:33:48,950 --> 00:33:49,617
get through that, anything

1009
00:33:49,617 --> 00:33:50,819
over $10,000 level than you

1010
00:33:50,819 --> 00:33:53,654
got to through the the other

1011
00:33:53,654 --> 00:33:54,222
procedure to the board. But so

1012
00:33:54,222 --> 00:33:56,622
that should give you

1013
00:33:57,458 --> 00:33:59,394
flexibility to. Help you out

1014
00:33:59,394 --> 00:34:01,364
with some of the smaller

1015
00:34:01,364 --> 00:34:04,367
things that maybe a little bit

1016
00:34:04,367 --> 00:34:06,334
more apps like $1000. So I

1017
00:34:06,334 --> 00:34:07,368
luck to commissioner good

1018
00:34:07,368 --> 00:34:08,690
bread just and he used

1019
00:34:08,690 --> 00:34:08,737
CHAIRMAN McKay knows what his

1020
00:34:08,737 --> 00:34:11,737
financials are with as much

1021
00:34:11,973 --> 00:34:12,674
so. That that's my

1022
00:34:12,674 --> 00:34:15,430
recommendation. Yeah, I mean,

1023
00:34:15,430 --> 00:34:16,712
I don't have a problem that

1024
00:34:16,712 --> 00:34:17,379
you, know, go through the

1025
00:34:17,379 --> 00:34:17,912
day-to-day minutiae of what

1026
00:34:17,912 --> 00:34:20,214
you think would be

1027
00:34:20,214 --> 00:34:22,500
comfortable. $10,000 sales,

1028
00:34:22,500 --> 00:34:25,486
the shelves of fight with me.

1029
00:34:25,486 --> 00:34:28,223
But what do you? I'm?

1030
00:34:28,223 --> 00:34:29,224
>> I'm very comfortable.

1031
00:34:29,224 --> 00:34:31,224
$10,000. Okay. That'll that'll

1032
00:34:32,394 --> 00:34:33,628
set Jacqueline up for success.

1033
00:34:33,628 --> 00:34:34,229
Sounds like he's a going away.

1034
00:34:34,229 --> 00:34:36,229
Everything. Good there.

1035
00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:40,368
Another other than that.

1036
00:34:40,368 --> 00:34:42,368
Sponsorships for tournament

1037
00:34:42,504 --> 00:34:43,505
that $50,000. So it's going to

1038
00:34:43,505 --> 00:34:44,339
come to the board. Anyways.

1039
00:34:44,339 --> 00:34:45,730
Writers are pretty big void in

1040
00:34:45,730 --> 00:34:47,730
there, though, between $10,000

1041
00:34:48,376 --> 00:34:48,977
and

1042
00:34:48,977 --> 00:34:49,711
>> and to be fair, most

1043
00:34:49,711 --> 00:34:52,711
events, even even between that

1044
00:34:52,714 --> 00:34:54,716
5 10,000, if it's an event

1045
00:34:54,716 --> 00:34:55,417
that's going to the tdc board.

1046
00:34:55,417 --> 00:34:57,652
We them to make the decision

1047
00:34:57,652 --> 00:35:00,521
on those types of things. It's

1048
00:35:00,521 --> 00:35:02,658
just like advertising some

1049
00:35:02,658 --> 00:35:03,558
advertising. Now, you know, on

1050
00:35:03,558 --> 00:35:05,590
a national and international

1051
00:35:05,590 --> 00:35:07,950
basis is going to be more than

1052
00:35:07,950 --> 00:35:08,597
$5,000. And we really have a

1053
00:35:08,597 --> 00:35:09,398
focus on expanding our

1054
00:35:09,398 --> 00:35:09,998
advertising throughout the

1055
00:35:09,998 --> 00:35:12,398
world, not just through

1056
00:35:13,402 --> 00:35:15,436
throughout the country. So it

1057
00:35:15,436 --> 00:35:16,138
is really important to have

1058
00:35:16,138 --> 00:35:16,872
that flexibility and not have

1059
00:35:16,872 --> 00:35:18,607
to have her wait 2 or 3 months

1060
00:35:18,607 --> 00:35:20,708
to the next meeting.

1061
00:35:20,708 --> 00:35:22,708
>> Right? Perfectly

1062
00:35:24,246 --> 00:35:26,646
understandable. And and the 2

1063
00:35:29,617 --> 00:35:30,252
commissioner Somers point

1064
00:35:30,252 --> 00:35:32,252
Throughout history. Think

1065
00:35:33,421 --> 00:35:34,155
should get more expensive. But

1066
00:35:34,155 --> 00:35:34,823
you know, just like it used to

1067
00:35:34,823 --> 00:35:38,423
be was Denver ties and what

1068
00:35:40,762 --> 00:35:42,164
was it to? The big Sam? Rv

1069
00:35:42,164 --> 00:35:42,864
Park book that was about Still

1070
00:35:42,864 --> 00:35:45,264
advertising carried kids and

1071
00:35:49,571 --> 00:35:51,106
what it was. Good, That's But

1072
00:35:51,106 --> 00:35:53,574
and we have any heavy people

1073
00:35:53,574 --> 00:35:56,611
care that big book more you

1074
00:35:56,611 --> 00:35:57,579
know, we advertise in several

1075
00:35:57,579 --> 00:35:58,246
camping guides and rv guides

1076
00:35:58,246 --> 00:35:59,514
that we advertise in their

1077
00:35:59,514 --> 00:36:00,348
print version, which we do see

1078
00:36:00,348 --> 00:36:01,549
them.

1079
00:36:01,549 --> 00:36:03,452
>> But they usually have a

1080
00:36:03,452 --> 00:36:04,353
digital component as well. So

1081
00:36:04,353 --> 00:36:04,986
are we make sure advertising

1082
00:36:04,986 --> 00:36:07,986
hits both of those right?

1083
00:36:09,424 --> 00:36:10,892
Yeah. Don't let that increases

1084
00:36:10,892 --> 00:36:12,895
some costs. There's well, I'm

1085
00:36:12,895 --> 00:36:15,564
comfortable with it. With a

1086
00:36:15,564 --> 00:36:16,231
spending authority.

1087
00:36:16,231 --> 00:36:19,231
>> make the motion with the

1088
00:36:19,302 --> 00:36:21,337
10th out to be up to a $10,000

1089
00:36:21,337 --> 00:36:23,372
spent in story for the Tdc.

1090
00:36:23,372 --> 00:36:24,400
Was her title?

1091
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:26,440
>> Tourism and event Center

manager. As as a percent.

1093
00:36:35,217 --> 00:36:36,752
Second, second.

1094
00:36:36,752 --> 00:36:37,453
>> Choose Democrat. We have a

>> In the vote passed

1108
00:37:08,250 --> 00:37:10,650
unanimously. Okay. We aren't

1109
00:37:13,321 --> 00:37:15,357

still have a few have not got

1124
00:37:37,413 --> 00:37:38,800
back yet. We're still just got

1125
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:40,716
some a few contract issues

1126
00:37:40,716 --> 00:37:43,586

Horn and some are injured.

1130

Sumner Engineering. And this

1131
00:37:52,628 --> 00:37:54,696
would be for a five-year term

1132
00:37:54,696 --> 00:37:55,430
with a one-year term.

1133
00:37:55,430 --> 00:37:59,300
Therefore, after up to a total

1134
00:37:59,501 --> 00:38:03,101
of 10 years. And as you know,

1135
00:38:03,705 --> 00:38:06,208
in JANUARY, 9th 2026, we did

1136
00:38:06,208 --> 00:38:06,909
rfq that 2, 0, 2, 6, year one

1137
00:38:06,909 --> 00:38:08,909
out for professional

1138
00:38:09,912 --> 00:38:11,880
engineering, consulting

1139
00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:12,882
services. We foresee we

1140
00:38:12,882 --> 00:38:13,782
received all those back. We

1141
00:38:13,782 --> 00:38:14,916
brought those back to the

1142
00:38:14,916 --> 00:38:16,652
board. We had 11 that we

1143
00:38:16,652 --> 00:38:19,221
receive. We brought back the

1144
00:38:19,221 --> 00:38:19,922
top 5, the board's direction

1145
00:38:19,922 --> 00:38:23,522
was for us to negotiate with

1146
00:38:24,626 --> 00:38:25,894
the top 5 terms are the top

1147
00:38:25,894 --> 00:38:26,595
farms. And as we move forward,

1148
00:38:26,595 --> 00:38:28,630
we have finished that up. And

1149
00:38:28,630 --> 00:38:29,970
we are now looking to go under

1150
00:38:29,970 --> 00:38:32,970
contract with each one of

1151
00:38:33,435 --> 00:38:36,105
them. Each one of them has is

1152
00:38:36,105 --> 00:38:36,739
at a different rate. We looked

1153
00:38:36,739 --> 00:38:37,440
multitude of different

1154
00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:38,174
options. Bring them all back

1155
00:38:38,174 --> 00:38:40,143
at one rate. Bring back. It

1156
00:38:40,143 --> 00:38:42,543
different rates. But looking

1157
00:38:43,879 --> 00:38:46,148
at the the different aspects

1158
00:38:46,148 --> 00:38:48,284
that each individual farm

1159
00:38:48,284 --> 00:38:50,850
brings. What were decided on

1160
00:38:50,850 --> 00:38:51,253
is we will be notifying the

1161
00:38:51,253 --> 00:38:52,755
firms that we think fit the

1162
00:38:52,755 --> 00:38:54,790
best and getting multiple

1163
00:38:54,790 --> 00:38:56,825
prices more likely to firms to

1164
00:38:56,825 --> 00:38:59,270
build each project that we

1165
00:38:59,270 --> 00:39:00,829
think would be best suited by

1166
00:39:00,829 --> 00:39:01,864
those farms. And of course,

1167
00:39:01,864 --> 00:39:02,598
the county engineer does

1168
00:39:02,598 --> 00:39:05,568
consult with me on the once

1169
00:39:05,568 --> 00:39:06,802
that would be outside his

1170
00:39:06,802 --> 00:39:07,770
party said, but that that's

1171
00:39:07,770 --> 00:39:08,437
what we've got. And that's

1172
00:39:08,437 --> 00:39:11,437
what I'm looking forward to

1173
00:39:11,706 --> 00:39:12,375
move forward with. And I said

1174
00:39:12,375 --> 00:39:14,710
would be to get CHAIRMAN To

1175
00:39:14,710 --> 00:39:18,310
authorize the use once we get

1176
00:39:19,214 --> 00:39:21,160
all of 5 back. And I felt last

1177
00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:21,750
meeting we signed steps up to

1178
00:39:21,750 --> 00:39:24,150
4 additional this year's. This

1179
00:39:25,821 --> 00:39:26,988
yet close. This is for the

1180
00:39:26,988 --> 00:39:28,590
other side of staff on just

1181
00:39:28,590 --> 00:39:30,693
what I want to make sure that

1182
00:39:30,693 --> 00:39:31,360
knows he's committed for 20 I

1183
00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:32,795
I don't think he's going to

1184
00:39:32,795 --> 00:39:33,462
give us 20, but

1185
00:39:33,462 --> 00:39:37,620
>> I think I've got to real

1186
00:39:38,100 --> 00:39:38,767
close to that. 10. I kind of

1187
00:39:38,767 --> 00:39:39,501
give an option. I said, you

1188
00:39:39,501 --> 00:39:42,501
know, when you're 10 years now

1189
00:39:44,140 --> 00:39:45,774

00:39:45,774 --> 00:39:46,509
But commissioners, Mr, Chair.

1191
00:39:46,509 --> 00:39:50,709
Yes, sir. I think that I need

1192
00:39:50,881 --> 00:39:52,248
to abstain from this one.

1193
00:39:52,248 --> 00:39:54,183
>> On the campaign finance,

1194
00:39:54,183 --> 00:39:56,685

firm, then?

1198
00:40:00,255 --> 00:40:00,957
>> Yes, because it would be a

1199
00:40:00,957 --> 00:40:03,957
special economic benefit to a

1200
00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:05,294

This so just for the record, I

1290

guess we have one. I guess we

1291
00:43:39,410 --> 00:43:41,440
have a data center because we

1292
00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:43,112
have 7 serve servers that

1293
00:43:43,112 --> 00:43:46,112

1316
00:44:36,265 --> 00:44:40,360
have a copy that will go up

1317
00:44:40,360 --> 00:44:40,770
here later. For now, if you'll

1318
00:44:40,770 --> 00:44:43,272
just follow along with me. But

1319
00:44:43,272 --> 00:44:46,272
that printed version in front

1320
00:44:47,177 --> 00:44:49,645
of you. So last AUGUST, the

1321
00:44:49,645 --> 00:44:52,450
bocc approved are 25 to 30

1322
00:44:52,749 --> 00:44:53,416
strategic plan with 7 priority

1323
00:44:53,416 --> 00:44:55,816
areas, including quality of

1324
00:44:57,287 --> 00:44:59,222
life.

1325
00:44:59,222 --> 00:45:00,924
>> Tourism, fiscal resale,

1326
00:45:00,924 --> 00:45:01,591
Yun, see infrastructure and

1327
00:45:01,591 --> 00:45:03,591
transportation, economy and

1328
00:45:03,693 --> 00:45:04,560
community communication and

1329
00:45:04,560 --> 00:45:05,294
county workforce.

1330
00:45:05,294 --> 00:45:08,294
>> This plan was developed as

1331
00:45:10,100 --> 00:45:11,634
a result of. Quite a bit

1332
00:45:11,634 --> 00:45:12,335
outreach to the community. We

1333
00:45:12,335 --> 00:45:15,400
got quite a bit of community

1334
00:45:15,400 --> 00:45:16,406
feedback to establish this.

1335
00:45:16,406 --> 00:45:17,400
Our staff held a couple of

1336
00:45:17,400 --> 00:45:19,275
workshops. You all held a

1337
00:45:19,275 --> 00:45:19,976
couple of workshops and this

1338
00:45:19,976 --> 00:45:22,845
was developed as a result of

1339
00:45:22,845 --> 00:45:26,445
that. A couple of months ago

1340
00:45:27,160 --> 00:45:28,151
we went we have the staff

1341
00:45:28,151 --> 00:45:30,860
submit their updates on this

1342
00:45:30,860 --> 00:45:30,821
plan. So this is a result of

1343
00:45:30,821 --> 00:45:33,821
that. I apologize. It's taking

1344
00:45:33,824 --> 00:45:34,791
a little bit to get to you.

1345
00:45:34,791 --> 00:45:37,930
But I did want to get this out

1346
00:45:37,930 --> 00:45:38,661
before I left. I'm not sure

1347
00:45:38,661 --> 00:45:39,362
who will be taking this moving

1348
00:45:39,362 --> 00:45:40,960
forward, but someone will

1349
00:45:40,960 --> 00:45:43,960
handle your annual review next

1350
00:45:43,967 --> 00:45:45,635
year. I am pleased to say that

1351
00:45:45,635 --> 00:45:46,737
we've made quite substantial

1352
00:45:46,737 --> 00:45:47,604
progress. If you look at that

1353
00:45:47,604 --> 00:45:50,407
back page, it kind of shows

1354
00:45:50,407 --> 00:45:52,343
you an overall for each of the

1355
00:45:52,343 --> 00:45:53,343
priority areas. Now, keep in

1356
00:45:53,343 --> 00:45:54,711
mind that several of these

1357
00:45:54,711 --> 00:45:57,711
goals were written for that 5

1358
00:45:58,347 --> 00:45:59,482
year plan. So if you see a low

1359
00:45:59,482 --> 00:46:02,252
number in some areas, that's

1360
00:46:02,252 --> 00:46:03,190
not really to be worried about

1361
00:46:03,190 --> 00:46:04,922
because we expected some of

1362
00:46:04,922 --> 00:46:06,560
these goals to be addressed

1363
00:46:06,560 --> 00:46:06,689
later on. But quite a few

1364
00:46:06,689 --> 00:46:09,890
goals have been addressed

1365
00:46:11,395 --> 00:46:12,496
early. If we start with the

1366
00:46:12,496 --> 00:46:13,964
quality quality of life qol

1367
00:46:13,964 --> 00:46:16,566
number one, you can see we are

1368
00:46:16,566 --> 00:46:19,566
about 50% of the way through

1369
00:46:19,937 --> 00:46:20,670
that we've done multiple needs

1370
00:46:20,670 --> 00:46:22,670
assessments. Some informal

1371
00:46:22,973 --> 00:46:24,907
polling with community

1372
00:46:24,907 --> 00:46:25,641
services just to, you know,

1373
00:46:25,641 --> 00:46:27,770
assess our services and make

1374
00:46:27,770 --> 00:46:28,111
sure we're meeting community

1375
00:46:28,111 --> 00:46:31,111
needs. So we are 100% complete

1376
00:46:32,282 --> 00:46:35,840
on that action step. Action.

1377
00:46:35,840 --> 00:46:35,952
Step One b is regarding

1378
00:46:35,952 --> 00:46:36,920
funding opportunities. And

1379
00:46:36,920 --> 00:46:39,456
that's really an ongoing goal

1380
00:46:39,456 --> 00:46:40,358
to make sure we're finding as

1381
00:46:40,358 --> 00:46:41,580
many grants donations and

1382
00:46:41,580 --> 00:46:44,580
other support for services as

1383
00:46:44,294 --> 00:46:47,630
possible. And you'll see that

1384
00:46:47,630 --> 00:46:49,630
across multiple departments.

1385
00:46:49,966 --> 00:46:51,335
Now I have provided some

1386
00:46:51,335 --> 00:46:53,170
recommended revisions in in

1387
00:46:53,170 --> 00:46:55,500
some of these action steps as

1388
00:46:55,500 --> 00:46:55,672
we're going through the annual

1389
00:46:55,672 --> 00:46:56,507
report, we identified that

1390
00:46:56,507 --> 00:46:57,473
some of these action steps are

1391
00:46:57,473 --> 00:47:00,810
not as measurable as we would

1392
00:47:00,810 --> 00:47:01,478
like them to be. I'm not here

1393
00:47:01,478 --> 00:47:03,880
to make those changes. Now

1394
00:47:03,880 --> 00:47:04,581
that something that possibly

1395
00:47:04,581 --> 00:47:06,616
you all might want to look at

1396
00:47:06,616 --> 00:47:07,317
in the future. So I just

1397
00:47:07,317 --> 00:47:09,586
included some language there

1398
00:47:09,586 --> 00:47:12,586
that might help you. Actually

1399
00:47:14,590 --> 00:47:15,559
step one c we are about 25% in

1400
00:47:15,559 --> 00:47:17,627
progress with that. This is

1401
00:47:17,627 --> 00:47:19,730
our public engagement action

1402
00:47:19,730 --> 00:47:20,898
step. And I think you all have

1403
00:47:20,898 --> 00:47:21,665
recognized how much public

1404
00:47:21,665 --> 00:47:23,665
engagement we've gotten

1405
00:47:24,668 --> 00:47:26,436
through our new communications

1406
00:47:26,436 --> 00:47:28,372
program, increasing our social

1407
00:47:28,372 --> 00:47:29,473
media reach and quite a few

1408
00:47:29,473 --> 00:47:30,340
additional community

1409
00:47:30,340 --> 00:47:31,800
partnerships like the culture

1410
00:47:31,800 --> 00:47:33,408
of collaboration that have

1411
00:47:33,577 --> 00:47:36,577
happened over this past year.

1412
00:47:38,982 --> 00:47:41,118
And finally, in. Quality of

1413
00:47:41,118 --> 00:47:43,530
life qol to we are about 60%

1414
00:47:43,530 --> 00:47:44,354
in progress on that. We have

1415
00:47:44,354 --> 00:47:45,489
completed the first action

1416
00:47:45,489 --> 00:47:46,189
step which is on fiscal

1417
00:47:46,189 --> 00:47:48,189
responsibilities. And again,

1418
00:47:48,593 --> 00:47:49,193
that's really making sure we

1419
00:47:49,193 --> 00:47:49,961
are developing as many

1420
00:47:49,961 --> 00:47:52,330
partnerships going for as many

1421
00:47:52,330 --> 00:47:53,331
grants as possible. And we

1422
00:47:53,331 --> 00:47:55,866
believe the county has really

1423
00:47:55,866 --> 00:47:57,768
done a good job at providing

1424
00:47:57,768 --> 00:48:00,168
structure for that moving

1425
00:48:01,605 --> 00:48:03,307
forward and then action step

1426
00:48:03,307 --> 00:48:05,242
to be. We are about 20% into

1427
00:48:05,242 --> 00:48:06,911
that goal. This is performance

1428
00:48:06,911 --> 00:48:07,611
enhancement ensuring our

1429
00:48:07,611 --> 00:48:09,312
public safety facilities and

1430
00:48:09,312 --> 00:48:10,547
equipment are upgraded

1431
00:48:10,547 --> 00:48:11,481
maintained. Again, this is

1432
00:48:11,481 --> 00:48:12,850
another one of those really

1433
00:48:12,850 --> 00:48:15,319
ongoing goal. So I would

1434
00:48:15,319 --> 00:48:16,753
expect us to be at 20% on a 5

1435
00:48:16,753 --> 00:48:17,454
year plan because every year I

1436
00:48:17,454 --> 00:48:21,540
would expect us to be at 20%

1437
00:48:22,250 --> 00:48:22,625
more. And I did give some

1438
00:48:22,625 --> 00:48:24,625
additional recommended

1439
00:48:26,620 --> 00:48:28,980
revisions there. Our next key

1440
00:48:28,980 --> 00:48:29,132
priority area is tourism. We

1441
00:48:29,132 --> 00:48:31,532
are about 72% complete with

1442
00:48:34,371 --> 00:48:35,306
our tourism goal. Merkel, one.

1443
00:48:35,306 --> 00:48:37,341
We have quite a few things

1444
00:48:37,341 --> 00:48:38,410
here that Angela and

1445
00:48:38,410 --> 00:48:39,142
Jacqueline have been working

1446
00:48:39,142 --> 00:48:39,265
very h#

1447
00:48:39,265 --> 00:48:39,395
#

1448
00:48:39,395 --> 00:48:39,519
#

1449
00:48:39,519 --> 00:48:41,245
o#

1450
00:48:41,245 --> 00:48:43,800
. So we have a lot

1451
00:48:43,800 --> 00:48:45,800
of community community

1452
00:48:45,949 --> 00:48:46,750
engagement. A lot of advocacy

1453
00:48:46,750 --> 00:48:49,150
for for tourism and

1454
00:48:50,221 --> 00:48:51,622
infrastructure development.

1455
00:48:51,622 --> 00:48:53,624
For we consider that complete

1456
00:48:53,624 --> 00:48:54,291
for one be local business

1457
00:48:54,291 --> 00:48:56,691
training and marketing. We

1458
00:48:57,561 --> 00:48:58,195
also consider that complete

1459
00:48:58,195 --> 00:49:00,365
Angeles done a tremendous

1460
00:49:00,365 --> 00:49:02,266
amount of work with our Toby

1461
00:49:02,266 --> 00:49:03,134
Perks programs. Both Angela

1462
00:49:03,134 --> 00:49:04,901
Jacqueline have worked really

1463
00:49:04,901 --> 00:49:05,602
closely with Main Street and

1464
00:49:05,602 --> 00:49:07,537
the Chamber of Commerce to do

1465
00:49:07,537 --> 00:49:09,707
a lot of economic development

1466
00:49:09,707 --> 00:49:11,442
work with our local businesses

1467
00:49:11,442 --> 00:49:12,543
to make sure they have

1468
00:49:12,543 --> 00:49:13,143
resources they have. They

1469
00:49:13,143 --> 00:49:15,143
understand hospitality

1470
00:49:15,246 --> 00:49:17,347
techniques and trainings. So

1471
00:49:17,347 --> 00:49:19,417
we're really pleased with the

1472
00:49:19,417 --> 00:49:20,350
progress there. And then

1473
00:49:20,350 --> 00:49:22,190
action steps. One c were

1474
00:49:22,190 --> 00:49:24,855
showing up progress of about

1475
00:49:24,855 --> 00:49:27,855
15%. And this is really more

1476
00:49:28,859 --> 00:49:29,526
initiatives and advocacy. So I

1477
00:49:29,526 --> 00:49:30,561
think we're in a good place

1478
00:49:30,561 --> 00:49:33,561
here. We have worked on

1479
00:49:34,198 --> 00:49:36,330
short-term rental regulations

1480
00:49:36,330 --> 00:49:37,735
here, maintaining more

1481
00:49:37,735 --> 00:49:38,335
partnerships ensuring

1482
00:49:38,335 --> 00:49:40,735
appropriate use of that

1483
00:49:42,773 --> 00:49:45,173
tourism revenue tax. Tourism

1484
00:49:45,409 --> 00:49:47,711
goal number 2 are showing a

1485
00:49:47,711 --> 00:49:48,579
75% complete. Our first action

1486
00:49:48,579 --> 00:49:50,448
step is 100% complete. This is

1487
00:49:50,448 --> 00:49:51,682
on technology in digital

1488
00:49:51,682 --> 00:49:53,682
marketing. We've definitely

1489
00:49:54,318 --> 00:49:55,352
seen an expansion here. Angela

1490
00:49:55,352 --> 00:49:57,187
really surprises me sometimes

1491
00:49:57,187 --> 00:49:59,890
when she comes back and says,

1492
00:49:59,890 --> 00:50:00,190
oh, I figured out how to do

1493
00:50:00,190 --> 00:50:02,259
this. Wonderful new thing with

1494
00:50:02,259 --> 00:50:02,993
our app or website. And I just

1495
00:50:02,993 --> 00:50:03,660
look at her because I'm pretty

1496
00:50:03,660 --> 00:50:06,330
tech savvy and say I don't

1497
00:50:06,330 --> 00:50:06,998
think I could figure that out.

1498
00:50:06,998 --> 00:50:08,933
So she's she's really been

1499
00:50:08,933 --> 00:50:11,469
doing a great job there. But

1500
00:50:11,469 --> 00:50:13,504
all of our programs really

1501
00:50:13,504 --> 00:50:14,672
increasing awareness of

1502
00:50:14,672 --> 00:50:15,639
services for our visitors,

1503
00:50:15,639 --> 00:50:16,440
including programs at the

1504
00:50:16,440 --> 00:50:19,440
library, our parks, the Agger

1505
00:50:20,345 --> 00:50:21,460
Civic Center Economic

1506
00:50:21,460 --> 00:50:23,460
Development related programs

1507
00:50:24,982 --> 00:50:26,917
and our tours and programs.

1508
00:50:26,917 --> 00:50:29,887
Actress up to be is about 50%

1509
00:50:29,887 --> 00:50:30,988
completion. These are regional

1510
00:50:30,988 --> 00:50:32,389
collaboration. Ys, we've

1511
00:50:32,389 --> 00:50:32,923
really done a lot of work of

1512
00:50:32,923 --> 00:50:33,624
strengthening these

1513
00:50:33,624 --> 00:50:36,240
collaboration Zahn last year,

1514
00:50:37,495 --> 00:50:38,563
too. I've in the 8 years I've

1515
00:50:38,563 --> 00:50:41,665
been here. I haven't seen such

1516
00:50:41,665 --> 00:50:42,833
a close collaboration with the

1517
00:50:42,833 --> 00:50:44,602
Chamber and Main Street and

1518
00:50:44,602 --> 00:50:45,302
the Economic Development

1519
00:50:45,302 --> 00:50:47,702
Corporation and the economic

1520
00:50:48,539 --> 00:50:49,473
the Economic Council. So I'm

1521
00:50:49,473 --> 00:50:50,474
really pleased to see those

1522
00:50:50,474 --> 00:50:51,175
those partnerships,

1523
00:50:51,175 --> 00:50:51,808
strengthening and the result

1524
00:50:51,808 --> 00:50:54,208
of those partnerships are

1525
00:50:54,712 --> 00:50:55,346
things like Christmas in

1526
00:50:55,346 --> 00:50:57,346
Okeechobee. We're really

1527
00:50:58,515 --> 00:51:01,515
pleased at where that's gone.

1528
00:51:02,860 --> 00:51:04,955
And then our 3rd tourism goal

1529
00:51:04,955 --> 00:51:05,723
we're showing at about 75%

1530
00:51:05,723 --> 00:51:08,723
completion. And this is an

1531
00:51:09,827 --> 00:51:12,620
engagement goal. And again,

1532
00:51:12,620 --> 00:51:12,663
action step 3, a where is

1533
00:51:12,663 --> 00:51:14,663
local partnerships were

1534
00:51:15,233 --> 00:51:16,435
considering that 100% complete

1535
00:51:16,435 --> 00:51:18,403
action. Step 3 be is about 50%

1536
00:51:18,403 --> 00:51:20,403
complete business community

1537
00:51:20,405 --> 00:51:21,973
events. While we've done quite

1538
00:51:21,973 --> 00:51:23,941
a bit of work with things like

1539
00:51:23,941 --> 00:51:26,100
best Bash Christmas in

1540
00:51:26,100 --> 00:51:26,644
Okeechobee, we can obviously

1541
00:51:26,644 --> 00:51:28,279
do more. We can always do

1542
00:51:28,279 --> 00:51:28,980
more. So I'm excited to see

1543
00:51:28,980 --> 00:51:31,980
what Jacqueline and her team

1544
00:51:32,784 --> 00:51:34,285
continues to work out there.

1545
00:51:34,285 --> 00:51:35,520
Fiscal resiliency. We are

1546
00:51:35,520 --> 00:51:38,520
showing the first goal at

1547
00:51:39,591 --> 00:51:41,991
about 23%. And this again

1548
00:51:41,992 --> 00:51:42,659
action step One. A is a 20%

1549
00:51:42,659 --> 00:51:44,962
completion. This is one of

1550
00:51:44,962 --> 00:51:45,996
those goals. I expect 20%

1551
00:51:45,996 --> 00:51:48,996
every year because we should

1552
00:51:49,634 --> 00:51:50,334
be maintaining these things.

1553
00:51:50,334 --> 00:51:52,200
And that's, you know, related

1554
00:51:52,200 --> 00:51:52,770
to our reserve policy and

1555
00:51:52,770 --> 00:51:55,770
making sure we have funding

1556
00:51:56,641 --> 00:52:00,241
where it's supposed to be. Or

1557
00:52:00,378 --> 00:52:01,646
actually one be were about 25%

1558
00:52:01,646 --> 00:52:04,460
completion. This is exploring

1559
00:52:05,650 --> 00:52:07,684
revenue opportunities we have

1560
00:52:07,684 --> 00:52:08,852
strengthened long-term

1561
00:52:08,852 --> 00:52:09,787
financial sustainability.

1562
00:52:09,787 --> 00:52:11,656
We're maintaining our reserves

1563
00:52:11,656 --> 00:52:12,390
were implementing impact fees.

1564
00:52:12,390 --> 00:52:13,657
We're looking at our user fees

1565
00:52:13,657 --> 00:52:15,526
to make sure they're

1566
00:52:15,526 --> 00:52:16,427
appropriate seeking all that

1567
00:52:16,427 --> 00:52:17,940
grant funding. So I think

1568
00:52:17,940 --> 00:52:20,940
we're right along where we

1569
00:52:21,365 --> 00:52:22,660
should be in the school.

1570
00:52:22,660 --> 00:52:24,136
Fiscal resiliency goal to we

1571
00:52:24,136 --> 00:52:24,835
consider that 100% complete.

1572
00:52:24,835 --> 00:52:26,672
This is completing long-term

1573
00:52:26,672 --> 00:52:29,720
financial analysis and return

1574
00:52:29,941 --> 00:52:30,608
on investment analysis. I

1575
00:52:30,608 --> 00:52:32,610
think we've seen our budget

1576
00:52:32,610 --> 00:52:35,610
department really come a long

1577
00:52:35,846 --> 00:52:37,581
way implementing these grant

1578
00:52:37,581 --> 00:52:39,483
positions is certainly

1579
00:52:39,483 --> 00:52:40,184
helpful. And I think across

1580
00:52:40,184 --> 00:52:43,184
the board are our leadership

1581
00:52:43,888 --> 00:52:44,990
team is really focused on

1582
00:52:44,990 --> 00:52:45,590
fiscal resiliency and ensuring

1583
00:52:45,590 --> 00:52:47,990
that we're prepared for

1584
00:52:50,610 --> 00:52:51,963
upcoming challenges. Our next

1585
00:52:51,963 --> 00:52:53,980
cool infrastructure and

1586
00:52:53,980 --> 00:52:54,465
transportation gold. One is

1587
00:52:54,465 --> 00:52:56,865
about 15% in progress. The

1588
00:52:57,101 --> 00:52:58,235
first action step is on

1589
00:52:58,235 --> 00:52:58,969
funding opportunities again

1590
00:52:58,969 --> 00:53:01,969
about 20%. This is about where

1591
00:53:02,406 --> 00:53:03,700
we should be. The team there

1592
00:53:03,700 --> 00:53:04,342
is doing a lot of work

1593
00:53:04,342 --> 00:53:06,377
coordinating with the faa and

1594
00:53:06,377 --> 00:53:08,379
fdot to make sure we have

1595
00:53:08,379 --> 00:53:09,800
grant funding, make sure those

1596
00:53:09,800 --> 00:53:09,780
improvements that need to be

1597
00:53:09,780 --> 00:53:12,180
happening. There are finding

1598
00:53:13,817 --> 00:53:14,519
that Sunday MAY need and then

1599
00:53:14,519 --> 00:53:18,719
back to step one be we're at

1600
00:53:18,722 --> 00:53:20,725
about 10% completion here. We

1601
00:53:20,725 --> 00:53:22,260
have advanced phase Airport,

1602
00:53:22,260 --> 00:53:22,727
infrastructure improvements or

1603
00:53:22,727 --> 00:53:23,260
stitcher, strategic planning

1604
00:53:23,260 --> 00:53:23,961
and permitting and

1605
00:53:23,961 --> 00:53:26,961
coordination with the faa and

1606
00:53:27,232 --> 00:53:27,765
fdot funding partners. For

1607
00:53:27,765 --> 00:53:29,765
infrastructure and

1608
00:53:31,680 --> 00:53:32,103
transportation goal, too. We

1609
00:53:32,103 --> 00:53:33,104
don't have progress report

1610
00:53:33,104 --> 00:53:35,504
during this reporting period

1611
00:53:36,108 --> 00:53:37,142
for either action. Step again.

1612
00:53:37,142 --> 00:53:39,143
These were action steps we

1613
00:53:39,143 --> 00:53:40,144
planned on addressing later in

1614
00:53:40,144 --> 00:53:41,913
the strategic plan. So I'm not

1615
00:53:41,913 --> 00:53:42,480
worried about about that. In

1616
00:53:42,480 --> 00:53:43,481
fact, for any of the

1617
00:53:43,481 --> 00:53:44,349
infrastructure and

1618
00:53:44,349 --> 00:53:45,160
transportation ones, we knew

1619
00:53:45,160 --> 00:53:47,753
we were going to start slow

1620
00:53:47,753 --> 00:53:51,756
and build up for go. 3 were at

1621
00:53:51,756 --> 00:53:53,756
about 15% completion. Actually

1622
00:53:54,258 --> 00:53:54,959
step 3 a's about funding

1623
00:53:54,959 --> 00:53:57,359
opportunities. We're at about

1624
00:53:57,762 --> 00:53:58,997
10% there with enhanced grant

1625
00:53:58,997 --> 00:54:00,997
management implementing a

1626
00:54:01,799 --> 00:54:02,300
centralized platform to

1627
00:54:02,300 --> 00:54:02,900
identify funding

1628
00:54:02,900 --> 00:54:03,501
opportunities, improve

1629
00:54:03,501 --> 00:54:05,501
efficiency and support

1630
00:54:06,704 --> 00:54:07,805
strategic funding priorities

1631
00:54:07,805 --> 00:54:09,374
and then actually step 3 be

1632
00:54:09,374 --> 00:54:09,940
we're looking at facility,

1633
00:54:09,940 --> 00:54:11,940
maintenance and needs

1634
00:54:12,310 --> 00:54:13,912
assessments were at about 20%.

1635
00:54:13,912 --> 00:54:17,512
20% where we should be in a 5

1636
00:54:19,884 --> 00:54:21,820
year plan. On the next key

1637
00:54:21,820 --> 00:54:23,254
priority areas, economy and

1638
00:54:23,254 --> 00:54:26,254
community goal. One word about

1639
00:54:26,925 --> 00:54:28,259
33% first action step is

1640
00:54:28,259 --> 00:54:29,894
complete serving as a founding

1641
00:54:29,894 --> 00:54:30,695
member of the Culture of

1642
00:54:30,695 --> 00:54:31,295
collaboration, partnering with

1643
00:54:31,295 --> 00:54:32,998
Main Street Chamber of

1644
00:54:32,998 --> 00:54:34,998
Commerce, Economic Development

1645
00:54:36,434 --> 00:54:37,102
Corporation to bring some new

1646
00:54:37,102 --> 00:54:39,502
opportunities here for the

1647
00:54:39,637 --> 00:54:40,706
community and local

1648
00:54:40,706 --> 00:54:41,739
businesses. Actually a step

1649
00:54:41,739 --> 00:54:43,709
one. B, we don't have anything

1650
00:54:43,709 --> 00:54:45,477
to report on this one right

1651
00:54:45,477 --> 00:54:46,344
now. But this is for market in

1652
00:54:46,344 --> 00:54:47,120
facility analysis. We'll

1653
00:54:47,120 --> 00:54:50,612
continue to look at that in

1654
00:54:50,949 --> 00:54:52,384
the coming years. For economy

1655
00:54:52,384 --> 00:54:54,784
and community goal. Number 2,

1656
00:54:56,589 --> 00:54:57,222
we're about 12% completion.

1657
00:54:57,222 --> 00:54:57,922
The first action step. We

1658
00:54:57,922 --> 00:55:00,922
don't have anything to report

1659
00:55:01,559 --> 00:55:02,427
during this reporting period.

1660
00:55:02,427 --> 00:55:03,127
But for access up to be

1661
00:55:03,127 --> 00:55:05,527
worried about 25%. That's our

1662
00:55:06,464 --> 00:55:08,666
planning and zoning. We're

1663
00:55:08,666 --> 00:55:09,400
continuing software

1664
00:55:09,400 --> 00:55:11,400
implementation to modernize

1665
00:55:12,737 --> 00:55:13,672
operations and to improve

1666
00:55:13,672 --> 00:55:14,339
organizational efficiency

1667
00:55:14,339 --> 00:55:15,207
action step to see where at

1668
00:55:15,207 --> 00:55:16,975
about 10%. That's our

1669
00:55:16,975 --> 00:55:18,975
affordable housing

1670
00:55:19,477 --> 00:55:20,177
initiatives. And we're

1671
00:55:20,177 --> 00:55:21,613
continuing to evaluate those

1672
00:55:21,613 --> 00:55:24,130
initiatives are all have

1673
00:55:24,449 --> 00:55:25,500
planned. We're incorporating

1674
00:55:25,500 --> 00:55:25,750
legislative changes and

1675
00:55:25,750 --> 00:55:28,750
expanding access to safe and

1676
00:55:29,387 --> 00:55:31,387
affordable housing studies,

1677
00:55:31,456 --> 00:55:32,257
sir. Excellent report. But I

1678
00:55:32,257 --> 00:55:32,924
think going to be I knew you

1679
00:55:32,924 --> 00:55:34,225
were going say is overrated

1680
00:55:34,225 --> 00:55:36,161
from a b minus.

1681
00:55:36,161 --> 00:55:38,161
>> 47%.

1682
00:55:38,596 --> 00:55:41,499
>> I would not. Disagree with

1683
00:55:41,499 --> 00:55:42,501
you announcer.

1684
00:55:42,501 --> 00:55:44,901
>> Moving on to communication.

1685
00:55:45,970 --> 00:55:47,104
Goal number

1686
00:55:47,104 --> 00:55:48,106
>> Obviously, our

1687
00:55:48,106 --> 00:55:49,908
communication strategies have

1688
00:55:49,908 --> 00:55:52,440
increased drastically over the

1689
00:55:52,440 --> 00:55:54,946
past year. We brought Jarrett

1690
00:55:54,946 --> 00:55:56,348
in a little over a year ago as

1691
00:55:56,348 --> 00:55:58,748
our public information officer

1692
00:55:59,117 --> 00:56:01,117
and communications specialist,

1693
00:56:01,820 --> 00:56:02,787
he has shown quite a bit of

1694
00:56:02,787 --> 00:56:04,722
progress here for action. Step

1695
00:56:04,722 --> 00:56:06,792
one, a communication channels

1696
00:56:06,792 --> 00:56:08,493
assessment. He is constantly

1697
00:56:08,493 --> 00:56:10,529
looking at all of our

1698
00:56:10,529 --> 00:56:12,529
communication channels and

1699
00:56:12,764 --> 00:56:13,731
making the best appropriate

1700
00:56:13,731 --> 00:56:14,599
choices on how to reach our

1701
00:56:14,599 --> 00:56:15,233
community. And I think, you

1702
00:56:15,233 --> 00:56:17,903
know, he's really done a

1703
00:56:17,903 --> 00:56:19,905
pretty good job at that. And

1704
00:56:19,905 --> 00:56:20,605
he's routinely bringing back

1705
00:56:20,605 --> 00:56:21,539
numbers on. Okay. This is

1706
00:56:21,539 --> 00:56:24,539
where we're looking at for

1707
00:56:25,760 --> 00:56:25,744
growth and Facebook in videos

1708
00:56:25,744 --> 00:56:26,444
are doing better than this

1709
00:56:26,444 --> 00:56:30,440
type of post. So we're going

1710
00:56:32,500 --> 00:56:33,385
to emphasize that. On action

1711
00:56:33,385 --> 00:56:34,352
step to be public engagement.

1712
00:56:34,352 --> 00:56:34,952
We definitely expanded

1713
00:56:34,952 --> 00:56:36,952
community engagement by

1714
00:56:38,220 --> 00:56:38,756
gathering public feedback

1715
00:56:38,756 --> 00:56:39,324
implementing communications

1716
00:56:39,324 --> 00:56:39,958
standards to support

1717
00:56:39,958 --> 00:56:41,958
consistent data, informed

1718
00:56:44,729 --> 00:56:45,731
outreach. For communication

1719
00:56:45,731 --> 00:56:46,398
goal. Number 2, governmental

1720
00:56:46,398 --> 00:56:48,660
transparency. We're showing

1721
00:56:48,660 --> 00:56:50,301
this is 100% complete. We

1722
00:56:50,301 --> 00:56:52,701
definitely have a much

1723
00:56:53,710 --> 00:56:53,839
stronger process right now to

1724
00:56:53,839 --> 00:56:56,839
inform the public on what's

1725
00:56:58,343 --> 00:56:59,344
happening with the government

1726
00:56:59,344 --> 00:57:02,344
we are looking at long-term

1727
00:57:02,381 --> 00:57:03,949
financial planning Sorry.

1728
00:57:03,949 --> 00:57:05,683
That's a that's a typo there.

1729
00:57:05,683 --> 00:57:08,720
And my apologies that that and

1730
00:57:08,720 --> 00:57:09,521
get changed. But we definitely

1731
00:57:09,521 --> 00:57:10,322
have shown more transparency

1732
00:57:10,322 --> 00:57:12,722
on fiscal resiliency in

1733
00:57:13,425 --> 00:57:15,227
reserves and budgeting with

1734
00:57:15,227 --> 00:57:16,127
all recent videos that we've

1735
00:57:16,127 --> 00:57:16,895
had guys going out anytime. We

1736
00:57:16,895 --> 00:57:18,763
have a major thing happening

1737
00:57:18,763 --> 00:57:21,763
within the county. It's really

1738
00:57:22,635 --> 00:57:23,235
been good about turning that

1739
00:57:23,235 --> 00:57:24,503
into layman's terms and

1740
00:57:24,503 --> 00:57:26,604
putting that out in a format

1741
00:57:26,604 --> 00:57:29,400
that's accessible to the

1742
00:57:30,608 --> 00:57:32,711
public for action step to be

1743
00:57:32,711 --> 00:57:33,545
100% completion misses on

1744
00:57:33,545 --> 00:57:35,280
sharing success stories

1745
00:57:35,280 --> 00:57:36,448
showcasing kind. The county's

1746
00:57:36,448 --> 00:57:37,516
financial management. Again,

1747
00:57:37,516 --> 00:57:39,284
we're really working hard

1748
00:57:39,284 --> 00:57:41,850
through the county

1749
00:57:41,850 --> 00:57:41,720
administrator's report and

1750
00:57:41,720 --> 00:57:42,387
video communications with

1751
00:57:42,387 --> 00:57:44,787
department updates to share

1752
00:57:45,923 --> 00:57:46,625
the success stories. Our

1753
00:57:46,625 --> 00:57:48,625
communication goal. Number 3,

1754
00:57:49,270 --> 00:57:49,694
we were showing this is 100%

1755
00:57:49,694 --> 00:57:52,694
complete as well. Juror has

1756
00:57:53,164 --> 00:57:54,399
done a great job at

1757
00:57:54,399 --> 00:57:56,768
identifying gaps and kind of

1758
00:57:56,768 --> 00:57:58,503
closing those gaps in our

1759
00:57:58,503 --> 00:58:00,503
communication strategies and

1760
00:58:01,673 --> 00:58:02,341
then also communication

1761
00:58:02,341 --> 00:58:03,908
position, resources hiring

1762
00:58:03,908 --> 00:58:06,511
him. You know, it's definitely

1763
00:58:06,511 --> 00:58:07,112
help us fill those gaps and

1764
00:58:07,112 --> 00:58:09,112
develop some long-term

1765
00:58:09,716 --> 00:58:12,116
strategies here. On county

1766
00:58:13,552 --> 00:58:15,153
workforce goal number one,

1767
00:58:15,153 --> 00:58:19,353
this is more of an hr related

1768
00:58:20,159 --> 00:58:22,127
gold. We're showing 58% Lisa

1769
00:58:22,127 --> 00:58:23,262
done really good job at

1770
00:58:23,262 --> 00:58:24,162
enhancing our recruitment

1771
00:58:24,162 --> 00:58:24,863
campaigns. She's expanded

1772
00:58:24,863 --> 00:58:26,198
workforce recruitment through

1773
00:58:26,198 --> 00:58:28,166
participation in local career

1774
00:58:28,166 --> 00:58:30,166
fairs, strategic outreach,

1775
00:58:30,435 --> 00:58:31,603
promoting diverse county

1776
00:58:31,603 --> 00:58:33,472
employment opportunities for

1777
00:58:33,472 --> 00:58:37,720
one. B, we're showing that at

1778
00:58:37,376 --> 00:58:39,376
50% percent completion. She

1779
00:58:39,477 --> 00:58:41,346
has submitted are distributed

1780
00:58:41,346 --> 00:58:41,981
a employee feedback survey in

1781
00:58:41,981 --> 00:58:44,981
JUNE. She has another one

1782
00:58:45,217 --> 00:58:46,819
scheduled for DECEMBER and

1783
00:58:46,819 --> 00:58:48,787
then one c is compensation and

1784
00:58:48,787 --> 00:58:50,556
benefit plan analysis, right?

1785
00:58:50,556 --> 00:58:52,658
25%. This is in progress as

1786
00:58:52,658 --> 00:58:55,594
part of our annual budget

1787
00:58:55,594 --> 00:58:56,795
process. And then our last

1788
00:58:56,795 --> 00:58:57,695
cool as the county workforce

1789
00:58:57,695 --> 00:59:00,950
goal. Number 2, with an

1790
00:59:01,667 --> 00:59:03,667
estimated completion, 100%.

1791
00:59:03,735 --> 00:59:04,770
This is training and workforce

1792
00:59:04,770 --> 00:59:06,205
development and promoting

1793
00:59:06,205 --> 00:59:08,205
internships and opportunities

1794
00:59:08,206 --> 00:59:09,307
to build pipelines and foster

1795
00:59:09,307 --> 00:59:11,707
community engagement. I think

1796
00:59:13,212 --> 00:59:14,120
you saw from the creative work

1797
00:59:14,120 --> 00:59:15,130
that Justin Hayes leaf is

1798
00:59:15,130 --> 00:59:15,814
doing with his team that most

1799
00:59:15,814 --> 00:59:18,251
of our departments are really

1800
00:59:18,251 --> 00:59:18,985
working on professional

1801
00:59:18,985 --> 00:59:19,619
development, focusing on

1802
00:59:19,619 --> 00:59:22,190
retention and retain and

1803
00:59:23,955 --> 00:59:26,355
retain Mont. Just really

1804
00:59:27,593 --> 00:59:29,528
building our talent pipelines.

1805
00:59:29,528 --> 00:59:30,462
So overall, we're looking at

1806
00:59:30,462 --> 00:59:32,862
about a 54.4 8 completion rate

1807
00:59:33,699 --> 00:59:36,699
after just one year. Very

1808
00:59:38,103 --> 00:59:38,771
good. Missed an This is a very

1809
00:59:38,771 --> 00:59:40,739
informing the things that's

1810
00:59:40,739 --> 00:59:43,739
going on. Without this kind

1811
00:59:46,478 --> 00:59:47,579
of. Information to us.

1812
00:59:47,579 --> 00:59:48,380
>> We have no way of knowing

1813
00:59:48,380 --> 00:59:50,160
all the things you're doing.

1814
00:59:50,160 --> 00:59:50,716
We see a lot of them. But some

1815
00:59:50,716 --> 00:59:51,384
of the year doing behind the

1816
00:59:51,384 --> 00:59:54,384
scenes would never know it

1817
00:59:54,653 --> 00:59:54,953
until you do reports like

1818
00:59:54,953 --> 00:59:55,588
this.

1819
00:59:55,588 --> 00:59:56,288
>> Well, that, you know,

1820
00:59:56,288 --> 00:59:58,688
strategic planning is really

1821
00:59:59,458 --> 01:00:01,126
important in government work

1822
01:00:01,126 --> 01:00:01,993
just to keep us on track. We

1823
01:00:01,993 --> 01:00:03,993
have diverse departments

1824
01:00:04,290 --> 01:00:06,498
focused in so many different

1825
01:00:06,498 --> 01:00:08,467
areas. The strategic planning

1826
01:00:08,467 --> 01:00:09,201
process itself helps us really

1827
01:00:09,201 --> 01:00:09,868
maintain that focus on what

1828
01:00:09,868 --> 01:00:11,870
the community needs are and

1829
01:00:11,870 --> 01:00:13,380
what their expectations of us

1830
01:00:13,380 --> 01:00:13,705
are. And it helps us with that

1831
01:00:13,705 --> 01:00:15,274
transparency going back to

1832
01:00:15,274 --> 01:00:17,274
them.

1833
01:00:18,443 --> 01:00:20,443
>> Any questions, comments?

1834
01:00:29,321 --> 01:00:29,956
Thank you so much. Thank you.

1835
01:00:29,956 --> 01:00:32,356
That finishes the regular

1836
01:00:33,525 --> 01:00:35,525
agenda. Phantom administrator,

1837
01:00:38,497 --> 01:00:41,497
you have it. Report today.

1838
01:00:42,467 --> 01:00:43,369

1840
01:00:44,137 --> 01:00:47,139
staff can touch on this as

1841
01:00:47,139 --> 01:00:49,141
well with further details. But

01:00:49,141 --> 01:00:52,278
>> there will be a full road

1843

01:01:51,871 --> 01:01:54,271
09:00am. And then the

1875
01:01:54,774 --> 01:01:55,841

1879
01:02:00,790 --> 01:02:03,790

1880
01:02:05,318 --> 01:02:08,918
Yeah. Now on the The catch

this time chair. This in ace.

1885
01:02:38,350 --> 01:02:41,588
I can't let it last day make

1886
01:02:41,588 --> 01:02:43,489
it through

1887
01:02:43,489 --> 01:02:45,125
>> I just I will keep my

1888
01:02:45,125 --> 01:02:45,792
comments brief today, but I do

1889
01:02:45,792 --> 01:02:48,792
want to extend my heartfelt

1890
01:02:49,696 --> 01:02:50,864
thanks to my staff and they

1891
01:02:50,864 --> 01:02:52,766
have been an incredibly

1892
01:02:52,766 --> 01:02:53,999
supportive and amazing group.

1893
01:02:53,999 --> 01:02:54,667
Every time I have raised

1894
01:02:54,667 --> 01:02:55,935
expectations for them, they

1895
01:02:55,935 --> 01:02:57,703
have met them and stellar

1896
01:02:57,703 --> 01:03:00,773
ways. They have been a huge

1897
01:03:00,773 --> 01:03:01,408
support to me. And I just

1898
01:03:01,408 --> 01:03:03,808
they're the hardest thing

1899
01:03:05,478 --> 01:03:06,179
about me leaving. I I really

1900
01:03:06,179 --> 01:03:08,414
appreciate in value them. And

1901
01:03:08,414 --> 01:03:09,148
i hope moving forward. Justin

1902
01:03:09,148 --> 01:03:12,852
and Justin do the same and I'm

1903
01:03:12,852 --> 01:03:13,519
sure they will. I also just

1904
01:03:13,519 --> 01:03:14,220
want to extend my heartfelt

1905
01:03:14,220 --> 01:03:18,420
thanks to every one of you at

1906
01:03:18,791 --> 01:03:20,930
the dice. When I first came on

1907
01:03:20,930 --> 01:03:22,128
board, I was told think there

1908
01:03:22,128 --> 01:03:24,330
there would be challenges

1909
01:03:24,330 --> 01:03:25,640
there would be things that I

1910
01:03:25,640 --> 01:03:27,199
should not take personally.

1911
01:03:27,199 --> 01:03:27,967
And I have held on to that.

1912
01:03:27,967 --> 01:03:29,602
And I hope you understand that

1913
01:03:29,602 --> 01:03:30,336
there's never been once been a

1914
01:03:30,336 --> 01:03:31,337
moment where I've taken any of

1915
01:03:31,337 --> 01:03:33,737
your decisions personally. I

1916
01:03:34,974 --> 01:03:37,374
have supported you. I

1917
01:03:37,944 --> 01:03:39,945
appreciated your support for

1918
01:03:39,945 --> 01:03:42,150
me. And I will continue to do

1919
01:03:42,150 --> 01:03:44,116
that moving forward in my new

1920
01:03:44,116 --> 01:03:45,284
role. But I just want to thank

1921
01:03:45,284 --> 01:03:47,353
you for your support. Over the

1922
01:03:47,353 --> 01:03:48,788
years in my position here with

1923
01:03:48,788 --> 01:03:51,257
the county, your support of my

1924
01:03:51,257 --> 01:03:53,459
departments and me personally.

1925
01:03:53,459 --> 01:03:54,328
And then I want to finally

1926
01:03:54,328 --> 01:03:57,197
just extended thanks to the

1927
01:03:57,197 --> 01:03:58,650
community for all ways taking

1928
01:03:58,650 --> 01:04:00,670
the time to listen to why we

1929
01:04:00,670 --> 01:04:01,767
do the things that we do in

1930
01:04:01,767 --> 01:04:02,401
government. It's not easy

1931
01:04:02,401 --> 01:04:04,370
explaining that sometimes

1932
01:04:04,370 --> 01:04:07,637
that, you know. The rules have

1933
01:04:08,174 --> 01:04:08,908
to be followed but I have

1934
01:04:08,908 --> 01:04:11,211
always worked hard when a

1935
01:04:11,211 --> 01:04:13,446
community member brings item

1936
01:04:13,446 --> 01:04:16,449
to me that is reasonable. To

1937
01:04:16,449 --> 01:04:18,685
find a way to say yes, to find

1938
01:04:18,685 --> 01:04:20,220
a way to work with them. And

1939
01:04:20,220 --> 01:04:20,853
the community has been nothing

1940
01:04:20,853 --> 01:04:23,853
but agreeable to that in

1941
01:04:24,824 --> 01:04:25,492
support of. These last few

1942
01:04:25,492 --> 01:04:26,292
months have shown how much

1943
01:04:26,292 --> 01:04:28,280
they've appreciated the work

1944
01:04:28,280 --> 01:04:32,228
of my staff. My team just in

1945
01:04:32,465 --> 01:04:35,602
the way they've come out to to

1946
01:04:35,602 --> 01:04:36,469
advocate and to show their

1947
01:04:36,469 --> 01:04:37,838
appreciation. So thanks all

1948
01:04:37,838 --> 01:04:38,505
around. I love to end with

1949
01:04:38,505 --> 01:04:41,505
gratitude so thank you for

1950
01:04:43,476 --> 01:04:45,876
everything. MR. Engineer. Was

1951
01:04:47,480 --> 01:04:49,880
your 20 year contract. The 20

1952
01:04:49,983 --> 01:04:52,983
years tensions. First of all,

1953
01:04:53,319 --> 01:04:54,200
thank you for.

1954
01:04:54,200 --> 01:04:54,720
>> The continued support. My

1955
01:04:54,720 --> 01:04:57,720
services to this county, much

1956
01:04:57,757 --> 01:05:00,757
appreciated. As always. I will

1957
01:05:02,395 --> 01:05:03,300
start with the dot Road. Watch

1958
01:05:03,300 --> 01:05:04,398
the district-wide movable

1959
01:05:04,398 --> 01:05:06,398
bridge at 4. 41 98 Taylor

1960
01:05:06,499 --> 01:05:07,767
Creek Bridge. That's still in

1961
01:05:07,767 --> 01:05:09,402
testing. Hopefully it'll be

1962
01:05:09,402 --> 01:05:11,738
done sometime in JULY what

1963
01:05:11,738 --> 01:05:12,438
they're saying. Same thing for

1964
01:05:12,438 --> 01:05:14,438
the intersection improvement

1965
01:05:14,607 --> 01:05:17,700
for 41 28th. They continue

1966
01:05:17,109 --> 01:05:20,109
punch list items its ongoing.

1967
01:05:20,647 --> 01:05:21,381
Hopefully that will be done

1968
01:05:21,381 --> 01:05:22,916
sometime soon. The rest of the

1969
01:05:22,916 --> 01:05:25,916
report is the majority Israeli

1970
01:05:26,686 --> 01:05:27,320
on 4.41. Over the next couple

1971
01:05:27,320 --> 01:05:29,720
of 3, 4, weeks. You'll be

1972
01:05:29,790 --> 01:05:31,391
seeing a fair amount of work

1973
01:05:31,391 --> 01:05:34,391
done to harden the overhead

1974
01:05:34,861 --> 01:05:35,828
poles, both by dot and fpnl.

1975
01:05:35,828 --> 01:05:36,863
So just be aware there will be

1976
01:05:36,863 --> 01:05:39,263
intermittent lane closures for

1977
01:05:40,901 --> 01:05:42,435
that and it will be something

1978
01:05:42,435 --> 01:05:44,204
that would be done in the next

1979
01:05:44,204 --> 01:05:46,604
30 days, hopefully in advance

1980
01:05:48,800 --> 01:05:50,843
of any storms that we have

1981
01:05:50,843 --> 01:05:52,745
front our cip very just very

1982
01:05:52,745 --> 01:05:54,815
briefly. Not since Lou

1983
01:05:54,815 --> 01:05:55,482
projects continue. We actually

1984
01:05:55,482 --> 01:05:56,182
have a field meeting today

1985
01:05:56,182 --> 01:05:59,619
with dp for the Berman wrote

1986
01:05:59,619 --> 01:06:02,589
aspect to confirm the wetlands

1987
01:06:02,589 --> 01:06:03,290
and figuring out our impact on

1988
01:06:03,290 --> 01:06:05,691
that project. The project is

1989
01:06:05,691 --> 01:06:07,827
right now in permitting under

1990
01:06:07,827 --> 01:06:09,462
review, drafted documents are

1991
01:06:09,462 --> 01:06:10,630
done right now. My sincere

1992
01:06:10,630 --> 01:06:10,697
hope is that we can get

1993
01:06:10,697 --> 01:06:13,970
through permitting in the

1994
01:06:15,135 --> 01:06:18,370
next. 45 to 60 days and go out

1995
01:06:18,370 --> 01:06:18,739
to bid soon thereafter. The

1996
01:06:18,739 --> 01:06:21,742
rest of it is additional work

1997
01:06:21,742 --> 01:06:23,676
that we're doing on wetland

1998
01:06:23,676 --> 01:06:26,760
review MISS Acha property,

1999
01:06:26,646 --> 01:06:27,314

2001
01:06:33,920 --> 01:06:35,789
for. Lofton Road. We already

2002
01:06:35,789 --> 01:06:37,391
talked lane closures that we

2003
01:06:37,391 --> 01:06:38,580
have that'll be going off the

2004
01:06:38,580 --> 01:06:39,358
next 2 weeks. It's it's for

2005
01:06:39,358 --> 01:06:41,327
the installation of the pipes.

2006
01:06:41,327 --> 01:06:42,929
The need to be replaced in

2007
01:06:42,929 --> 01:06:43,596
going in once they're done

2008
01:06:43,596 --> 01:06:45,131
with that, they're going to

2009
01:06:45,131 --> 01:06:46,566
roll into the widening of the

2010
01:06:46,566 --> 01:06:47,267
curvature is that we have on

2011
01:06:47,267 --> 01:06:48,935
the roadway. And after that,

2012
01:06:48,935 --> 01:06:49,836
they're going to start

2013
01:06:49,836 --> 01:06:51,836
earnest. The milling

2014
01:06:54,107 --> 01:06:55,976
resurfacing and all that last

2015
01:06:55,976 --> 01:06:58,645
thing to report is that we are

2016
01:06:58,645 --> 01:07:00,279
still working with the ftc on

2017
01:07:00,279 --> 01:07:01,715
the fee. Environmental reviews

2018
01:07:01,715 --> 01:07:05,315
are reports that have to be

2019
01:07:05,385 --> 01:07:06,285
done for the bridge repair

2020
01:07:06,285 --> 01:07:07,554
projects. They are sitting

2021
01:07:07,554 --> 01:07:10,991
ready to be go out to bid

2022
01:07:10,991 --> 01:07:12,559
funding. Is there. We just

2023
01:07:12,559 --> 01:07:14,294
need to wait for them to clear

2024
01:07:14,294 --> 01:07:15,962
any additional environmental

2025
01:07:15,962 --> 01:07:16,596
reviews that have to be done.

2026
01:07:16,596 --> 01:07:19,900
And that is my report for

2027
01:07:19,900 --> 01:07:21,900
today. Questions, comments,

2028
01:07:23,137 --> 01:07:25,105
engineer. Thank you,

2029
01:07:25,105 --> 01:07:27,105
Appreciate it.

2030
01:07:30,410 --> 01:07:31,344
>> MR. Attorney.

2031
01:07:31,344 --> 01:07:32,445
>> Thank you, MR. Chair. So I

2032
01:07:32,445 --> 01:07:35,749
do have an item to discuss

2033
01:07:35,749 --> 01:07:38,149
right now. I'm passing

2034
01:07:38,551 --> 01:07:39,252
>> letter for you all review.

2035
01:07:39,252 --> 01:07:41,540
We were notified through the

2036
01:07:41,540 --> 01:07:42,856
National Association of

2037
01:07:42,856 --> 01:07:45,256
counties that there. That

2038
01:07:47,930 --> 01:07:49,493
there. Requesting all counties

2039
01:07:51,799 --> 01:07:52,966
to provide comment regarding.

2040
01:07:52,966 --> 01:07:53,600
A proposed rule from the

2041
01:07:53,600 --> 01:07:56,000
Office of Management and

2042
01:07:57,170 --> 01:07:58,400
Budget that would rewrite to

2043
01:07:58,400 --> 01:08:00,404
Cfr part 200, which is

2044
01:08:00,874 --> 01:08:03,874
commonly known as the uniform

2045
01:08:04,745 --> 01:08:07,145
guidance. This is essentially

2046
01:08:07,314 --> 01:08:08,582
the requirements for receiving

2047
01:08:08,582 --> 01:08:09,482
and managing grants that the

2048
01:08:09,482 --> 01:08:11,418
federal government puts on all

2049
01:08:11,418 --> 01:08:14,418
of it. Recipients of its

2050
01:08:14,621 --> 01:08:16,256
recipients. So this comment

2051
01:08:16,256 --> 01:08:19,256
letter addresses some of the

2052
01:08:20,600 --> 01:08:22,460
major changes. Some the

2053
01:08:23,530 --> 01:08:25,530
concerning changes proposed

2054
01:08:28,102 --> 01:08:29,837
would allow for. The

2055
01:08:29,837 --> 01:08:31,837
cancellation revocation of

2056
01:08:34,542 --> 01:08:36,942
grants without notice during

2057
01:08:37,344 --> 01:08:38,780
basically at the discretion of

2058
01:08:38,780 --> 01:08:40,478
political appointees, which is

2059
01:08:41,181 --> 01:08:43,216
a big concern, especially for

2060
01:08:43,216 --> 01:08:44,985
critical programs that rely on

2061
01:08:44,985 --> 01:08:47,385
those federal grants. There

2062
01:08:55,262 --> 01:08:57,364
are. A few other changes that.

2063
01:08:57,364 --> 01:08:59,566
Really, too. The pastor

2064
01:08:59,566 --> 01:09:01,368
entities, which and if county

2065
01:09:01,368 --> 01:09:02,360
does not currently serve as a

2066
01:09:02,360 --> 01:09:04,436
does that currently provide

2067
01:09:05,605 --> 01:09:06,941
pastor funding? But in the

2068
01:09:06,941 --> 01:09:10,541
future MAY to the city or

2069
01:09:10,911 --> 01:09:13,911
other other sub grants which

2070
01:09:14,948 --> 01:09:17,251
the changes to those recipient

2071
01:09:17,251 --> 01:09:18,251
guidelines place. A lot more

2072
01:09:18,251 --> 01:09:20,651
responsibility and burden on

2073
01:09:21,880 --> 01:09:23,156
the county to monitor those

2074
01:09:23,156 --> 01:09:23,890
funds and can have serious

2075
01:09:23,890 --> 01:09:26,126
consequences if recipients are

2076
01:09:26,126 --> 01:09:28,795
in violation of the the terms

2077
01:09:28,795 --> 01:09:31,195
of their agreements. So

2078
01:09:31,698 --> 01:09:34,980
essentially this letter we

2079
01:09:35,736 --> 01:09:36,437
would like to submit and if

2080
01:09:36,437 --> 01:09:39,974
you all have any changes were

2081
01:09:39,974 --> 01:09:43,211
happy to make those. But we'd

2082
01:09:43,211 --> 01:09:45,145
ask for your blessing to have

2083
01:09:45,145 --> 01:09:45,746
this signed by the chair and

2084
01:09:45,746 --> 01:09:48,146
submitted to Office of

2085
01:09:51,485 --> 01:09:52,653
Management Budget.

2086
01:09:52,653 --> 01:09:53,354
>> Centre is over, but I have

2087
01:09:53,354 --> 01:09:56,354
to say this is administrator

2088
01:09:57,824 --> 01:09:58,459
beat me on this one. She I

2089
01:09:58,459 --> 01:10:01,459
think she read her e-mail

2090
01:10:02,129 --> 01:10:03,630
earlier than I did. But I

2091
01:10:03,630 --> 01:10:06,630
think it's important for us

2092
01:10:07,340 --> 01:10:09,903
has asked us to give comments

2093
01:10:09,903 --> 01:10:11,105
back at the budget ally 13. So

2094
01:10:11,105 --> 01:10:12,573
so that we get comments back

2095
01:10:12,573 --> 01:10:13,206
to them so that we can start

2096
01:10:13,206 --> 01:10:15,606
formulating a a position

2097
01:10:18,746 --> 01:10:21,140
paper. Offset this. These

2098
01:10:21,140 --> 01:10:21,949
these are detrimental to us

2099
01:10:21,949 --> 01:10:24,949
from MAY from federal grants,

2100
01:10:25,719 --> 01:10:27,154
especially. And so I think

2101
01:10:27,154 --> 01:10:28,622
that's good letter be sent up

2102
01:10:28,622 --> 01:10:31,622
there and to outline the

2103
01:10:34,295 --> 01:10:35,620
issues that we see with it.

2104
01:10:35,620 --> 01:10:35,796
What's the difference in

2105
01:10:35,796 --> 01:10:36,730
authority here in one governor

2106
01:10:36,730 --> 01:10:38,730
exercises?

2107
01:10:43,400 --> 01:10:44,204
>> As far as taken back.

2108
01:10:44,204 --> 01:10:46,604
>> The governor, the governor.

2109
01:10:49,177 --> 01:10:51,980
Well, Well. De but I know.

2110
01:10:51,980 --> 01:10:53,981
>> This want it to me is

2111
01:10:53,981 --> 01:10:55,981
probably more important

2112
01:10:56,160 --> 01:10:57,751
because these are large grants

2113
01:10:57,751 --> 01:10:58,385
that we try to good foreplay,

2114
01:10:58,385 --> 01:11:00,785
Berman road and different

2115
01:11:01,755 --> 01:11:03,755
things that are. 6, 8, 10,

2116
01:11:04,625 --> 01:11:05,859
20 million Dollar Grant. If

2117
01:11:05,859 --> 01:11:06,527
you're in the middle of the

2118
01:11:06,527 --> 01:11:09,527
grant process and and some

2119
01:11:09,564 --> 01:11:12,533
appointee gets. I'll has a

2120
01:11:12,533 --> 01:11:13,167
problem somewhere. They can

2121
01:11:13,167 --> 01:11:14,568
cut that grant often your

2122
01:11:14,568 --> 01:11:18,168
middle of it. It's not that's

2123
01:11:18,272 --> 01:11:22,376
not equitable. And so as as a

2124
01:11:22,376 --> 01:11:24,450
member. The board of directors

2125
01:11:24,450 --> 01:11:26,481
make, though, I feel that this

2126
01:11:26,481 --> 01:11:29,317
is pro pre response to that.

2127
01:11:29,317 --> 01:11:29,883
And that's reason we requested

2128
01:11:29,883 --> 01:11:30,984
for the administrator

2129
01:11:30,984 --> 01:11:33,984
requested this Have your say

2130
01:11:36,570 --> 01:11:37,658
the tournament? Anyone else?

2131
01:11:37,658 --> 01:11:40,658
Especially the board. You need

2132
01:11:42,963 --> 01:11:43,664
a motion. Move to approve the

2133
01:11:43,664 --> 01:11:46,640
chair, signing this document

2134
01:11:48,336 --> 01:11:49,269
and sending it off. Motion by

2135
01:11:49,269 --> 01:11:51,205

favor say Aye. Aye. All

2138
01:11:52,473 --> 01:11:53,541
opposed. Nay motion carries

2139
01:11:53,541 --> 01:11:55,541
unanimously.

2140
01:11:58,613 --> 01:11:59,447
>> still on the floor.

2141
01:11:59,447 --> 01:12:03,647
>> And that is the end of my

2142
01:12:05,653 --> 01:12:07,588
report for today at siu we

2143
01:12:07,588 --> 01:12:08,289

2144

01:12:08,890 --> 01:12:10,692
be a credit to the next

2146
01:12:10,692 --> 01:12:13,692
meeting. What kind of day

2147
01:12:13,927 --> 01:12:14,628

>> Was there a MISS? Yes, up

01:12:24,371 --> 01:12:25,440
somewhere in schedule that.

2152
01:12:25,440 --> 01:12:27,842
Our new attorney didn't get

2153
01:12:27,842 --> 01:12:29,842
patient.

2154
01:12:31,478 --> 01:12:32,146
>> You know, we love Kate, I

Commissioner

01:12:47,495 --> 01:12:48,162
>> I was going to say that

2162
01:12:48,162 --> 01:12:50,164
I've said way too much this

01:12:54,969 --> 01:12:56,370
will be buddy. That you you've

2165
01:12:56,370 --> 01:12:57,371
been helpful for a guy who's

2166
01:12:57,371 --> 01:12:59,774
only been doing this for

2167
01:12:59,774 --> 01:13:00,474
little while. You always come

2168
01:13:00,474 --> 01:13:01,108
with an answer if I can with

2169
01:13:01,108 --> 01:13:01,809

don't know what you get back

2171
01:13:04,378 --> 01:13:07,978

2173
01:13:12,754 --> 01:13:13,420

You've always taken this.

Position more than seriously.

But also been a pleasure to

back and forth, but the cities

2189
01:13:43,351 --> 01:13:46,351

there's anything else is like

2196
01:14:01,736 --> 01:14:04,136
the most earth shattering.

2197
01:14:05,106 --> 01:14:08,106
Issue we have right now.

2198

I've also seen you change in

2217

trash liners event. 1, 1, that

2218
01:14:55,189 --> 01:14:56,458

2219
01:14:56,458 --> 01:14:58,858
Just appreciate you, your

2220
01:14:59,527 --> 01:15:01,927

Bo's.

2222
01:15:04,899 --> 01:15:05,566
>> start with Denise. You

2223
01:15:05,566 --> 01:15:07,701
know, I go back to the days

2224
01:15:07,701 --> 01:15:08,603
that you were with blades,

2225
01:15:08,603 --> 01:15:11,603
electric. And that's a number

2226
01:15:12,507 --> 01:15:14,542
of years. And and I think that

2227
01:15:14,542 --> 01:15:15,110
you have been the exception in

2228
01:15:15,110 --> 01:15:18,110
terms of of from the

2229
01:15:18,413 --> 01:15:19,480
administration's standpoint.

2230
01:15:19,480 --> 01:15:20,481
Your management style, what

2231
01:15:20,481 --> 01:15:21,182
you do and how you do. It has

2232
01:15:21,182 --> 01:15:24,182
been very effective in terms

2233
01:15:26,655 --> 01:15:28,891
of. Making better here. Each

2234
01:15:28,891 --> 01:15:32,600
step of the way. You probably

2235
01:15:32,600 --> 01:15:34,362
didn't see that some days. I'm

2236
01:15:34,362 --> 01:15:35,263
sure that, you know, dealing

2237
01:15:35,263 --> 01:15:35,930
with a splash pad was even the

2238
01:15:35,930 --> 01:15:38,330
swimming pool nowadays, it

2239
01:15:40,835 --> 01:15:41,202
seems to be never never ending

2240
01:15:41,202 --> 01:15:41,803
problem.

2241
01:15:41,803 --> 01:15:44,203
>> There's water in the

2242
01:15:45,407 --> 01:15:48,407
swimming There you go. Yes,

2243
01:15:48,710 --> 01:15:51,646
That was your final straw. But

2244
01:15:51,646 --> 01:15:52,647
you told Ali and that that

2245
01:15:52,647 --> 01:15:53,381
he's good and exceptional

2246
01:15:53,381 --> 01:15:55,117
individual, just all he has to

2247
01:15:55,117 --> 01:15:57,552
do is leave you alone.

2248
01:15:57,552 --> 01:16:00,322
>> You I know he's old. I yet

2249
01:16:00,322 --> 01:16:03,258
to take care of All right.

2250
01:16:03,258 --> 01:16:03,992
You've you know, a guy like

2251
01:16:03,992 --> 01:16:06,992
just pushing along little bit.

2252
01:16:09,264 --> 01:16:11,733
Be good. With all honesty, I

2253
01:16:11,733 --> 01:16:12,467
have talked to and I city

2254
01:16:12,467 --> 01:16:14,169
getting good person to go over

2255
01:16:14,169 --> 01:16:17,769
there and run the city. It'll

2256
01:16:18,573 --> 01:16:19,240
be a challenge. But you've

2257
01:16:19,240 --> 01:16:22,240
always been challenge is so

2258
01:16:24,110 --> 01:16:24,680
done well. But I appreciate

2259
01:16:24,680 --> 01:16:27,849
you've done for us and good

2260
01:16:27,849 --> 01:16:28,516
luck in the future. And I

2261
01:16:28,516 --> 01:16:31,516
understand you there was a

2262
01:16:33,556 --> 01:16:34,490
wedding just recently. That

2263
01:16:34,490 --> 01:16:35,125
us. That's been the highlight

2264
01:16:35,125 --> 01:16:38,725
of the last couple to the

2265
01:16:39,727 --> 01:16:40,461
test. I'm like Commissioner

2266
01:16:40,461 --> 01:16:42,197
Samara probably talked way too

2267
01:16:42,197 --> 01:16:43,365
much. In the last 3 days. But

2268
01:16:43,365 --> 01:16:46,965
you know what? I don't really

2269
01:16:47,902 --> 01:16:49,370
care. Think that to if we

2270
01:16:49,370 --> 01:16:51,390
don't talk up here and we

2271
01:16:51,390 --> 01:16:51,873
don't talk to, we don't

2272
01:16:51,873 --> 01:16:53,107
communicate and we don't

2273
01:16:53,107 --> 01:16:54,776
communicate to the people how

2274
01:16:54,776 --> 01:16:55,610
we feel they're sent to

2275
01:16:55,610 --> 01:16:58,610
podium. We have done an

2276
01:16:59,347 --> 01:17:02,347
injustice to the community. We

2277
01:17:02,584 --> 01:17:05,584
are. We appear. Are the

2278
01:17:05,954 --> 01:17:06,888
stewards the taxpayers money.

2279
01:17:06,888 --> 01:17:08,390
And I'm sorry that some people

2280
01:17:08,390 --> 01:17:11,990
MAY have got a little upset.

2281
01:17:12,940 --> 01:17:14,663
But that's okay. And we'll

2282
01:17:14,663 --> 01:17:17,165
move We'll get over it will

2283
01:17:17,165 --> 01:17:20,165
become friends again. But at

2284
01:17:21,360 --> 01:17:23,505
the end of the day. What we

2285
01:17:23,505 --> 01:17:24,106
say appear and sometimes I'm

2286
01:17:24,106 --> 01:17:26,506
brutally honest. I just

2287
01:17:26,808 --> 01:17:28,743
sugarcoat a lot of stuff. But

2288
01:17:28,743 --> 01:17:31,790
at the end of the day, we the

2289
01:17:31,790 --> 01:17:31,679
5 others up here have a

2290
01:17:31,679 --> 01:17:33,679
responsibility to this

2291
01:17:34,883 --> 01:17:38,483
community. And I think that we

2292
01:17:40,230 --> 01:17:40,655
all take In stride. And we're

2293
01:17:40,655 --> 01:17:41,356
and we're very proud what

2294
01:17:41,356 --> 01:17:43,860
we've tried to do up here.

2295
01:17:43,860 --> 01:17:45,260
Cause we work together. We MAY

2296
01:17:45,260 --> 01:17:48,860
not agree with each other some

2297
01:17:49,164 --> 01:17:51,199
days. Some of you saw that.

2298
01:17:51,199 --> 01:17:53,202
The CHAIRMAN Of myself at it,

2299
01:17:53,202 --> 01:17:56,802
a good debate the other day.

2300
01:17:58,306 --> 01:17:58,973
But those are healthy debates.

2301
01:17:58,973 --> 01:18:01,844
So I don't want anybody to

2302
01:18:01,844 --> 01:18:03,440
think that we don't get along.

2303
01:18:03,440 --> 01:18:03,712
But I will say that you say to

2304
01:18:03,712 --> 01:18:05,847
the audience and whoever's

2305
01:18:05,847 --> 01:18:08,247
listening and watching today.

2306
01:18:08,983 --> 01:18:12,530
We do our best appear. And

2307
01:18:12,530 --> 01:18:12,854
these 5 commissioners, we take

2308
01:18:12,854 --> 01:18:16,124
a lot of heat sometimes the

2309
01:18:16,124 --> 01:18:18,293
community. But that's what

2310
01:18:18,293 --> 01:18:20,328
this what we chose to do. But

2311
01:18:20,328 --> 01:18:23,928
I can assure you the every

2312
01:18:25,133 --> 01:18:28,133
commissioner up here. The best

2313
01:18:29,710 --> 01:18:29,771
in mind for this community. So

2314
01:18:29,771 --> 01:18:32,740
just don't take anything. It

2315
01:18:32,740 --> 01:18:35,740
set up here. As being

2316
01:18:35,577 --> 01:18:37,746
detrimental to the body. Is

2317
01:18:37,746 --> 01:18:40,749
when we have a budget process,

2318
01:18:40,749 --> 01:18:41,249
they're sometimes we. Get into

2319
01:18:41,249 --> 01:18:43,249
debates that are

2320
01:18:44,853 --> 01:18:46,853
uncomfortable. People got

2321
01:18:47,823 --> 01:18:48,557
upset. I apologize. But that's

2322
01:18:48,557 --> 01:18:49,791
just nature of the business of

2323
01:18:49,791 --> 01:18:52,791
sitting up here. You before

2324
01:18:57,999 --> 01:18:59,267
you. This is ace. You you. You

2325
01:18:59,267 --> 01:19:00,702
have the amaze me with

2326
01:19:00,702 --> 01:19:01,603
different sides. I mean, we

2327
01:19:01,603 --> 01:19:04,339
talked about the work that you

2328
01:19:04,339 --> 01:19:07,339
do have seen that firsthand.

2329
01:19:07,375 --> 01:19:07,943
>> But I think the thing that

2330
01:19:07,943 --> 01:19:08,677
I was the most impact

2331
01:19:08,677 --> 01:19:10,246
impressed about is the way you

2332
01:19:10,246 --> 01:19:11,580
took bed situations with

2333
01:19:11,580 --> 01:19:13,348
groups and turned around and

2334
01:19:13,348 --> 01:19:15,751
seen you do it in here with

2335
01:19:15,751 --> 01:19:17,686
bed with controversial people.

2336
01:19:17,686 --> 01:19:18,387
You know, you give shielded to

2337
01:19:18,387 --> 01:19:20,787
commission an almond custard

2338
01:19:21,256 --> 01:19:23,910
in right direction. But but I

2339
01:19:23,910 --> 01:19:23,792
so and I think Jack La not

2340
01:19:23,792 --> 01:19:24,492
puppet, both learned a lesson

2341
01:19:24,492 --> 01:19:28,920
on how you handle that group

2342
01:19:31,733 --> 01:19:32,434
that they Disrespectful but

2343
01:19:32,434 --> 01:19:33,902
playing and you turn the tide

2344
01:19:33,902 --> 01:19:36,902
and voted ramdin. To several

2345
01:19:39,742 --> 01:19:40,809
meetings. Like I say, I

2346
01:19:40,809 --> 01:19:42,177

01:19:42,177 --> 01:19:45,147
