[14:56] wasn't for sure who I was calling.
[15:01] » Do you have any >> any additions or deletions to the
[15:05] agenda? We can uh remove payroll. We won't have that this week.
[15:12] And then do we have the we're just are we doing the initial discussion for the
[15:17] saleaway documents that we're signing next week or
[15:21] » uh we were going to present that at correspondence.

[16:20] » All right. Correspondence to to the commission.
[16:31] » Okay.
[16:34] » Wow. Two energy drinks. I figured it might be a long meeting.
[16:38] » It actually might be shorts. >> Don't jinx it now. Come on.
[16:43] » Oh, that's right. >> I'm not going to jinx it. It could be a
[16:47] long meeting. [laughter] All right. So, here's some mail that we
[16:52] received.
[16:58] This is safety training. I always think some of this stuff goes
[17:02] to [snorts] Roaden Bridge. I feel like
[17:06] » probably you need a catalog to order equipment.
[17:10] » No, ma'am. I've got spares.
[17:15] » Bless you don't need a Uline calendar, do you?
[17:18] » No. Okay. >> All right. Just checking.
[17:21] » Thank you. >> Yep.
[17:24] » Okay.
[17:43] I don't know what this is.
[17:48] [snorts]
[17:57] This is a We're probably gonna have to have Josh look at this. and um land
[18:02] development and kina. This has to do with a water pollution
[18:10] control permit for Mineral Springs Park up by Carbonale
[18:15] and might be your wheelhouse, too.
[18:20] » Look at that. I think we're going to need more
[18:24] information on that. >> Need more glasses, that's for sure.
[18:34] Is that from? >> Yeah.
[18:38] » You know it's getting bad when you grab the paper and try to like enlarge it
[18:42] with your fingers. >> Bless. Come on now. You've done that,
[18:47] haven't you? >> You're not even old yet. [laughter]
[19:20] Yeah, we'll pass this along. >> Yeah. So, I wonder if
[19:25] does it say who else it might be addressed to? I'm wondering does it just
[19:28] say commissioner? I'm wondering if land development got
[19:32] » does it have any copies on it? >> Uh, it doesn't say so, but we'll check
[19:37] with them make sure.
[19:42] » It's just stating their permit and then their requirements.
[19:48] » They're supposed to follow through.
[19:52] I mean, we're not really
[19:57] the regulator on it, but
[20:11] » I think I'll give that to Trisha and she can look at their permit that they have
[20:15] on file for >> their facility and see if
[20:20] » Yeah, Because then that's how you know >> this is an updated one.
[20:23] » That's how you know what changed to look at the previous one versus this one.
[21:04] You want that for safekeeping? >> Yeah. I'm going to Yeah, I'm going to do
[21:07] this and then I'm going to >> pass it along.
[21:11] » Give it to Trisha.
[21:16] And I don't know. I didn't receive anything by email in regards to this,
[21:19] did you? >> No.
[21:20] » So, yeah, we're just we'll need to help her.
[21:26] » Okay. This is in regards to Saleaway. He might have gotten an email on this. I
[21:32] don't remember. So, they're needing an extension that
[21:37] Ben had talked about last week, I believe. Was Ben here last week?
[21:41] » Yes. Yep. So that's the document that's been drawn
[21:45] up that has the new date >> of December.
[21:49] » Yeah. And this would be the extension on the the CBDG side of it, right?
[21:53] » Yeah. So >> unless you've been in that loop.
[21:59] » Uh yeah, somewhat. >> Yeah. Should I think you should have got
[22:02] an email on this just kind of >> um
[22:05] » Yeah, it's pretty standard. Asked for I don't know. He probably had a dozen of
[22:09] them so far. >> Yeah. And this was like another 90
[22:12] daysish or something like that. I think extension
[22:15] three and a half months. Sorry. >> Hopefully it be the last one we can get
[22:19] that project done and behind us. >> They're pretty close is what they said.
[22:23] So >> So here's an example of a letter that's
[22:25] been written up. I I'm guessing that um Brett with
[22:33] he has a different address.
[22:37] [clears throat] They're the um help manage the grants.
[22:41] So I think this is the letter that we have to send in with this
[22:45] » signature. Yeah. >> And this is an explanation. So we'll
[22:48] just have Josh is not in person today. He's
[22:51] » remote. So we can save this for next week. I think I'm fine to sign it, but
[22:55] we'll have him review that.
[23:03] » Extensions are not ideal for citizens or project partners. You don't say.
[23:10] » So these two are the things that I would be signing. Please give me.
[23:14] » Okay. >> Yeah.
[23:16] » Do you have any questions? >> No, ma'am. It
[23:18] » Okay. Can you hold these for next week?
[23:25] » I mean, >> we've all viewed this by email, but then
[23:28] with Josh not being here, >> right?
[23:32] » Sign. >> I was trying to remember the email. It
[23:34] didn't say we we didn't need to get that done this week, did we? On that one, I
[23:38] don't think >> I don't think so.
[23:41] » Seemed like we had a week or two that we could ponder.
[23:55] Okay, any other correspondence? No. Okay.
[24:04] Okay. Ryan fine road and bridge director bridge inspection contract and moving
[24:09] permit up
[24:21] for um state bridge inspections. code that presents us
[24:29] options to go through. This will be the cost of the getting all
[24:35] 220 bridges.
[24:38] » How often do they do that? >> These should all run on a fouryear.
[24:43] » Yeah. I remember about four years ago they brought a book.
[24:46] » Yeah. >> And they came and presented those
[24:48] » topics. So every four years. Now, anything that's on the fracture critical
[24:53] side, it has to be inspected every two years. And plus, they're usually
[24:58] inspected by the state also separately. >> But this is just our standard bridge
[25:03] inspections that we do. >> How many bridges did you say we have?
[25:08] » 2007. >> 220.
[25:09] » 220. >> Yeah.
[25:11] » Yeah. >> Wow. Yeah. Now, we have closed down a
[25:17] few of them, but that's that's our most recent updated numbers is 220.
[25:22] Um, we were at like 237, I believe, and the county web page still reflects
[25:31] that number. So, >> the 237,
[25:33] » but I'm working on getting that adjusted. So,
[25:37] » yeah, just talk with on your page it says 230.
[25:41] Yeah, it's like 2:30. >> Just talk with Barb.
[25:45] » Yeah, I already had I um I got her the updated recycle stuff.
[25:50] » Okay. >> Um she's working on that currently. I
[25:53] told her it take a little bit longer to kind of finalize the road bridge portion
[25:59] of it. So, I just want to make sure that we update that information for public.
[26:04] » Yes. >> Yeah. that recycling.
[26:07] » I think that's been >> I don't know when the last time that was
[26:12] put in there. >> A while.
[26:14] » Probably when we moved to the new web provider.
[26:17] » Yeah. >> Yeah. And so those pages you guys can
[26:20] update them as regular as you want. >> Yeah. Folks have been hitting me up or
[26:25] making comments about the recycling and asking me questions. I didn't really
[26:28] know where to send them yet because it wasn't updated.
[26:31] » So there'll be up to date information on the county website on that. Um she's
[26:35] working on it. >> Right. Okay.
[26:37] » Good. >> Yeah. So, we're still if we have the
[26:40] staffing, if we have somebody available, I have somebody up there during the
[26:45] week. Um we have people bring us in that we're bringing in other count
[26:51] » other containers. Yeah. >> We're bringing all
[26:55] » what we accept. >> You're accepting
[26:57] » aluminum cans, cardboard, glass. >> Yeah. Clean. Clean. Not Not dirty.
[27:02] » Clean. Not dirty. If it's dirty, it's trash. I mean, that's
[27:05] » And they're not supposed to drop it off like they need to have it looked at.
[27:08] » Yeah. >> Right.
[27:09] » Yeah. You don't have outside trailers there, outside bins, right? Okay.
[27:14] » I think everything is inside. That way, we can inspect everything and make sure
[27:19] that we're getting a good product that we're sending out
[27:22] » that you can get rid of charge for. >> And we have vendors for those three
[27:25] items >> as long as it's clean, good, good shape.
[27:30] Otherwise, she's going to the landfill and then we got to pay for that, too.
[27:35] » Yeah. >> Okay. Sorry.
[27:39] » Let me make a note. I'll have to refer to
[27:42] » So, this one doesn't actually need signature. This is just going to need um
[27:47] my signature and the county clerk. I just wanted you guys be aware that this
[27:52] this amount was going to be coming out. So,
[27:58] they're only going to charge $139 per bridge.
[28:02] » Yes. >> Wow.
[28:05] » But it's still >> Well, some are little, some
[28:07] » Yeah. But it's still 30 grand. >> That's um
[28:12] And the state has updated that new talks about that maybe.
[28:17] » Yeah. >> Just for short.
[28:19] » Um that's going through instead of the old inspections that they do, that's
[28:24] cross section. that the pillars in the water, they have to do sonar
[28:29] » make the undermining and all that. Yeah. >> Um we don't have any of those that
[28:35] qualify as that because it has to be in water a certain amount of time.
[28:40] » So luckily we don't have any bridges that have gears that stand in
[28:45] » standing out in the water. Yeah. >> So except in high water situations then
[28:49] it has to be a certain time. What's the turnaround time on this? When
[28:54] do you get a report back on this? Do you know?
[28:57] » Um, it usually takes them a good year >> to compile it
[29:01] » to go to each bridge notes rate
[29:06] » and then I'm sure you guys I mean I wasn't here but I'm sure you guys get a
[29:10] list of like priority. >> Here's the inspection report.
[29:14] » We have a really nice bound >> and that's what I use
[29:17] » with pictures and all sorts of stuff. >> That grant
[29:20] » Yeah. or my new bridge bond that I have working right now. So,
[29:24] » because I remember when they brought that last time and we were looking
[29:26] through it and I was like, "This is a bridge."
[29:29] » Like, one of them was like, "Maybe a wood did we have wooden bridges left
[29:32] over at some point?" >> We still have those.
[29:34] » Yeah. >> Yeah.
[29:35] » I mean, there was I'm like, "This is a road."
[29:38] » Smaller structures. We do have crossroads that still have the wooden
[29:42] bridges, >> but for it to be a bridge, it has to be
[29:45] 20 ft long >> and 20 feet and a quart.
[29:50] for the state came up with the number. So, not me. [laughter]
[29:59] » Yes, sir. >> So, it has to be that long. We actually
[30:01] had one on Berlin game that they had on our inspection list and we went further
[30:08] into it, looked at it, and it was able to be removed from that. So, we're don't
[30:12] get charged for that one anymore. >> It was interesting. to be honest.
[30:16] » Yeah, we had at this back way back in the days uh we had a similar one at the
[30:20] city of course it was way smaller scale than this. So
[30:25] » uh when do you want to do what's your when you want to
[30:28] » um sign that I got this a couple weeks ago and I was just able to get at the
[30:33] end of this time for the meeting. So um I will be moving on this as soon as I
[30:40] get to go. >> I didn't know what budget cycle you were
[30:43] going to And then I have the original right here.
[30:46] » That'll be next year's anyway, won't it? That 30,000.
[30:50] » Uh, it'll come out soon.
[30:57] Right on. Lesie, you want to talk about the bridge inspections? Routine
[31:01] inspection of 220 off system bridges. >> Uh, I think Ryan does a pretty good job
[31:07] staying up on all that, so I have no concerns.
[31:10] » Okay. >> RS and off system. Sorry, I didn't fall
[31:14] through the next line down. I didn't want to I didn't want to read the whole
[31:16] thing.
[31:20] » What do you need from us today? Anything on that? Any action? You just
[31:23] » We go ahead. Um >> consensus to pursue.
[31:26] » Yeah. >> All right. Pursue. Right.
[31:30] » Thumbs up. >> I don't know if we need Yeah. I don't
[31:32] know if we need to. [clears throat] It's not anything that's signed by us.
[31:35] » No.
[31:41] So by consensus, we're just approving. He forward with
[31:45] » he'll let us know when it's happening. I reckon
[31:47] » we'll wait till can hear us because she'll need to put that in.
[31:56] » Haley, when you're ready, we're going to make a statement. This is just by
[32:00] consensus, but >> so by consensus, we're approving the
[32:04] 2026 routine bridge inspection and SNBI data collection
[32:10] with S with CFS engineers as presented.
[32:18] » You need this. >> Okay, thank you.
[32:38] The next one I have
[32:44] I have copies of all these. Um but this is Warcraft Homes.
[32:50] They are moving a house through our area. They used the
[32:55] original map. Um, so I've been back and forth on the phone with them this
[32:59] morning. Um, we were playing phone tag. I get their voicemail, they get my
[33:04] voicemail. Um, so Christine was going to send them an email that we approved the
[33:08] new route that they're doing. Um, here's the information
[33:13] on that. And Jay hasn't uh had one of these yet. So after the meeting today,
[33:21] » I'll have him text me. I'll come up and we'll sit down. Um because there's a
[33:25] portion the clerk >> and signs off on it.
[33:30] » And so I have an example paper and everything. That way we can work through
[33:34] it together kind of like we did on the road closure um thing that we have
[33:38] coming up at the meeting soon. >> Who regulates like whether they have to
[33:43] have escorts and you know all that? Does the county do that or is that all state?
[33:47] » Uh we require it on our roads and the state requires it also.
[33:51] » Good. Okay. And I will reach out also when they give
[33:55] me a more finite date. Um I will reach out to
[34:01] Brett Roine over to Oage because usually the state will approve these.
[34:07] » Mhm. >> And then they never call their
[34:09] supervisors in the sub area >> to let them know that it's
[34:12] » let them know. So the state will have them go through all these um forms and
[34:17] everything to get this go ahead and run down the state roads and then they never
[34:21] follow through and call the supervisors in the area.
[34:24] » So that's you being good neighbor. >> Yeah. So I reach out to Brad. I'll go
[34:29] over the route with him, show them where he was going, give him one day. Um like
[34:33] that house move that we had a while back. Um
[34:38] the state was working on 56 highway doing shoulder work. We met with the
[34:42] moving company, sheriff's department, and everybody out there. And I happened
[34:45] to text Brad while we were out there, and I was like, "Hey, are you coming to
[34:48] this meeting?" He was like, "For what?" [laughter]
[34:51] I said, "They're going to be shutting down 56 highway from, I think it was
[34:58] Adams Road, clear into Douglas County, and they had not called the supervisor
[35:04] for the state over that road, >> completely shutting it down. The house
[35:10] was so wide that it was it went clear across 56 highway from lane to lane
[35:17] and they had not reached out to the road guy.
[35:23] » They'll get around it. >> So, so I tried to keep him in the loop
[35:27] too cuz they aren't. >> Okay.
[35:32] » So, is there anything on this we need to take action?
[35:34] » Uh, no. this will this will be um me and J finalizing everything for them.
[35:42] » So I just wanted you guys to be aware >> and thanks for checking with the local
[35:47] folks too. I mean I a little above and beyond but that you know solves a lot of
[35:52] headaches. >> Absolutely. Because I that that would
[35:55] have been horrible. Um the sheriff's department did great with us. We had
[36:00] several agencies working together. >> Um, since the state were on the loop,
[36:05] they were able to block side roads. >> Yep.
[36:08] » Um, as we were moving the house through, [clears throat] we kind of multi-
[36:11] agency. Everybody was on the same radio and we
[36:16] were all talking to each other, kind of keeping vehicles back as we went into
[36:20] Douglas County. >> It went from um, they moved it from
[36:25] Auburn, outside of Auburn to Franklin County.
[36:30] What that one say? Clay >> 26 feet wide.
[36:33] » That one says uh clay center to Lawrence. Is that where that's pretty
[36:38] good move? >> Yeah.
[36:41] » Is that same scenario where the the double whites and stuff, but they're
[36:45] moving through they're coming through on 56 like crazy.
[36:50] » Yeah. Yeah. Usually the devil lights um you're sitting right about 13 ft wide,
[36:59] » right? >> Um the state has a different protocol
[37:02] with how wide the home is going to be or how tall
[37:06] » cuz they're they're not they're not having uh lead cars and right there in
[37:11] Scranton we have the blind curves. They come flying through there. And we just
[37:17] about had several accidents all the time. And you hear the brakes on the
[37:20] semi just smash in. It's like, yeah, if you would have done your job and come
[37:23] around here and have a lead car to stop people from around cuz you can't, you're
[37:26] not getting around. You have to take and a lot of time if they're running those
[37:30] state roads, like I said, they didn't even contract real agent
[37:36] » to let them know that they were coming through.
[37:37] » I didn't know they had to follow the same. I didn't know there was even
[37:40] approvals together. >> Yeah.
[37:43] » Yeah. cuz we got our signage and stuff and a lot of times they will send
[37:46] somebody out in front of them if they're doing it correctly. If they're flying
[37:50] through on a weekend, usually they're running no permit and I've seen that
[37:55] done before, too. I saw that done quite a bit in Franklin
[38:00] County where somebody just tried to slide something in on the weekend. You
[38:05] go out on a Monday and be like, "That wasn't their Friday."
[38:09] So, but just trying to keep everybody in the
[38:12] loop of what's going on that way. >> That way everybody's on the same page.
[38:19] » All right. Thank you. Anything else? >> Okay.
[38:24] » Did you get >> We should be real close this week. They
[38:27] should be coming out to paint the lines on the road. Um he got held up and I
[38:32] think he had a breakdown in Butler County last week. pushed everything
[38:37] back. We were supposed to start at the end of last week. So now we're going to
[38:42] be starting at the end of this week. Hopefully everything goes
[38:45] » just in time for it to rain on you. >> Yeah. Yeah. He'll he'll schedule come
[38:50] out and it'll be raining. >> Perfect. Yeah. Right.
[38:52] » Just like trying to set up dust control four months in advance in Kansas and
[38:57] figure out what the weather's going to be.
[38:58] » You just pull out your crystal ball and Yeah. [laughter]
[39:03] » Well, thank you, >> Jay. you just give me a text and I'll
[39:06] bring that stuff >> up later and we can go over everything.
[39:10] Okay, >> sure.
[39:12] » Thank you. >> Thanks, Ryan.
[39:14] » All right, we have Jay Hatfield clerk Lyndon High School pepperelli request
[39:18] for courthouse law September 25th. >> Um, yeah, I got a uh voicemail from uh
[39:28] Lynen High School. uh they want to hold their pep rally on the courthouse lawn
[39:33] on September 25th between 2 pm 3 pm and was just requesting permission to do
[39:39] that. Uh I thought just to [snorts] make it official to bring it to Cheryl's
[39:45] attention. >> Yeah, normally we do
[39:49] just like you your organization request at some point.
[39:53] » Um >> is there a parade or anything associated
[39:56] with that? Do you know? Do they >> they did not say and
[40:00] » I guess that'd be a city anyway. >> They left me a voicemail and I left her
[40:04] a voicemail. [clears throat] Uh right now it's phone tag, but I did
[40:08] say I was going to bring it to the meeting today.
[40:11] » Yeah. >> If you wanted to
[40:15] » I don't know of any reason why >> move to approve.
[40:17] » Yeah. Why would >> Yeah. I think it's fine. We can ask
[40:22] » Josh next week, but I my my always thought is is our liability issue, but
[40:27] we have insurance that covers >> Yeah. public space anyways.
[40:31] » Okay. So, I would move to approve Lynen High School for their request of a pep
[40:38] rally on the courthouse lawn September 25th of 2026.
[40:46] » Second and go Tigers. All those in favor say I.
[40:50] » I. >> I. All opposed. Motion carries.
[40:58] » All right. Next we have tax roll corrections.
[41:08] » Oh, heck yeah. Thank you.
[41:58] Les, I couldn't remember. Did you hear about my big mess up a couple weeks ago?
[42:02] » I did not. >> Well, we had a whole big stack of tax
[42:06] corrections and then you were on the phone that day and I got distracted uh
[42:11] when somebody came. I think Tony came in. I'm going to blame Tony. He came in.
[42:14] somebody came in and I got distracted and we never went back and uh approved
[42:18] the taxable corrections that day. So, >> yeah. So, last week we had a big old
[42:23] pile of them and had to tell everybody that it was my fault and I'm sorry, but
[42:30] » yeah, mark the calendar. My one mistake for the year.
[42:33] » One mistake. >> Yeah, [laughter]
[42:39] » it's just as much my fault. I'll jump on that sword with you. Yeah, there's
[42:43] » been paying attention and reminding. >> Well, we were talking about it. It was
[42:46] Josh is who it was cuz we were >> Yeah.
[42:51] » The truth comes out, >> right?
[44:00] one of these days these tax corrections will be down to a trickle. You know
[44:03] that. >> Well, look how small this pile is.
[44:04] » I know. Yeah. >> So, yeah, they are moving through these,
[44:10] digging into all the stuff, getting them updated. This one is all like changing
[44:14] ownership names getting correct. >> Yeah,
[44:16] » correct names on tax statements
[44:22] in there. >> So, I think they're getting there.
[44:26] Well, I know it's frustrating for folks when they want to go get their tags and
[44:31] pay the registration and then they're told, "Well, you can't because you got
[44:34] » personal property >> personal property tax is outstanding."
[44:37] And then they and it's all a surprise to everybody.
[44:48] But I'm not getting as many phone calls on that as I used to.
[44:52] » That's good.
[45:02] » Okay.
[45:17] Jay, this all flows through your office too, doesn't it? These
[45:44] you having any trouble communicating between the the offices on this? Are you
[45:48] able to >> No, has been very helpful.
[45:51] » Yeah. >> And then
[45:55] soon as the signatures are done, Becky takes them and
[45:59] » they're not getting lost on the corner of a desk somewhere. How they're moving
[46:02] right through. >> Yeah.
[46:03] » Yeah.
[46:10] Except for the commissioners don't move on them and they sit here for a week.
[46:13] But that's all right.
[46:18] Tempest was very forgiving. She didn't yell at me too much. It was all right.
[46:25] » She just added more to it. That was her. >> Yeah, that was Was it last week?
[46:31] » Yeah. >> I stayed to use my stamp.
[46:33] » Yeah. upstairs and got my stand.
[46:40] » Yeah, >> that's good.
[46:45] » That is a good thing
[46:54] on this
[46:59] abatement completed. adding back the tax roll with correct owner information.
[47:12] I >> do like the comments on there. You
[47:14] mentioned that once before, but it's really nice to see.
[47:17] » Yeah, I mean, when it was left blank, it's hard to know, you know, what the
[47:20] purpose is, but the details on there, uh, they've been great about all that
[47:25] » and it makes it easier for us to
[47:31] Okay. >> Do you have a you have the dates wrote
[47:34] down somewhere perfect? >> Yeah, she even writes the dates down for
[47:36] us so that we don't have to look through and try to remember.
[47:41] » She's making her job very easy. >> Yeah.
[47:44] » Okay. >> They look to be in order to me. No.
[47:46] » Okay. So then I would You ready, Haley? I would move to approve the tax ro
[47:50] corrections from 825 2026 for real estate years 2023 2024 and 25
[48:00] personal property 2021 through 2025 and trucks for 2025 as
[48:09] presented. >> Second.
[48:12] » All those in favor say I. >> I.
[48:15] » I. All opposed. motion.
[48:21] There's that. Okay.
[48:27] Um moving down. So, next week, September 1st, we have um Sean Gordon is coming.
[48:32] Is that correct? At 9. And um that day, we also have a fence
[48:39] viewing at 1. So, we will be on a timeline to get out of here about at
[48:43] least 12:15. So, we'll have any department heads that
[48:48] come back with any detailed information and then we'll work on budgetary
[48:53] questions and things with Sean and Tony that day kind of in prep for the
[48:57] September 8th meeting. >> Um, so I'm planning on putting that kind
[49:02] of the first thing of the day. So, for however long it takes and then hopefully
[49:07] whatever other items that are on that day, we can get to that. If not, they
[49:10] may have to get pushed to the September 8th meeting.
[49:15] Um, I just wanted to
[49:19] state that and then I'll kind of as items come in for September 1st, if you
[49:23] kind of let me know as they trickle in in the event something that if we if
[49:28] we're going to have to move it then, you know, we need to let people know if
[49:32] we're going to have to move it to the ETH. But hopefully we can get through
[49:35] everything that we need to on the first. >> I'll keep you all.
[49:39] » Yes. >> Everything. Just when you send it to us,
[49:42] just blind copy us. That way, we're getting it, but we can't respond to each
[49:46] other. Um, any questions or anything on that?
[49:51] Okay. And we don't have anything for executive session. Any commissioner
[49:55] reports?
[50:00] Well, the only thing I got is kind of second or thirdand information about a
[50:06] regional water collaboration meeting that's going to happen down in Lebo,
[50:10] Kansas. >> Um, like I said, it [clears throat]
[50:14] comes >> through the hub.
[50:15] » Kansas Yeah, through the Kansas Infrastructure Hub. And u Okay.
[50:19] » Is that something we're invited to or just
[50:21] » Well, it alludes to that, but it didn't come to me directly. It was third party.
[50:24] So I got that through my connections within the Kansas River water
[50:28] association, but it talks about county leaders and other, you know, such
[50:32] stakeholders within the Meridian River Basin and the Neossha River Basin. I are
[50:37] one. So anyway, I didn't know if you or less had
[50:41] heard about that yet and I didn't really want to just be sending you guys emails
[50:45] and >> Yeah.
[50:49] » Well, that's as much. >> Yeah, that's this is as much as I know
[50:52] about it. It's hot off the presses because last time I checked, they didn't
[50:55] even have that date on their uh their calendar on their website.
[51:00] » Well, and so it's it's through the Kansas Infrastructure Hub. It's a
[51:03] regional meeting. >> And it says, "Please join the Kansas
[51:08] Infrastructure Hub, county leaders, regional water partner, state agencies
[51:13] to discuss a proposed regional water project and its potential role in
[51:17] addressing current and future water needs. Does that involve your water
[51:20] district?" >> I would think it would. Yes. by
[51:22] necessity it would have to but I this is this is all I know about
[51:26] » to you also. Yeah. Okay. >> So it's Thursday September 24th 9 to
[51:30] noon in Lebo. >> So yeah
[51:34] » I sent it out to my board members on the water district and encourage them all to
[51:38] go. >> So are you going to go as the
[51:40] commissioner or are you going to go as part of the water district?
[51:44] » I don't know on that. Probably have to bring all my hats with me. So
[51:48] » okay. It doesn't sound like there's gonna be any binding action taken or
[51:51] decisions being made there. >> No, it sounds like it's just like a
[51:54] working session. >> Yeah. No formal commitment will be
[51:57] requested at this meeting, but um so I don't know. I'm
[52:02] » It says the goal is to establish a shared understanding of the proposed
[52:06] project, document county and partner perspectives, and identify practical
[52:09] next steps for continued regional planning.
[52:11] » Yeah. Taking place in Coffee County. So I
[52:14] » Okay. I mean, it's gonna I plan on going for, you know, as part of one group or
[52:20] another, but I'll probably bring >> you could wear both hats just and bring
[52:23] back >> I'll bring some notebooks.
[52:24] » Bring back information for us. How's that?
[52:26] » So, if you're available to go to that, then you're
[52:30] » okay. Yeah. No, I have not seen anything.
[52:32] » Unless you didn't you said you didn't hear anything about that.
[52:35] » Uh, no, I hadn't heard anything about that.
[52:37] » Well, I'll get you I'll have somebody send you a copy of
[52:40] that, picture of that. >> We may we may eventually get an email.
[52:43] Yeah, we might be on the list. >> We would get an email at some point if
[52:47] they're wanting us to come. >> I would think we would need to go. Yeah.
[52:51] » Yeah. >> Or at least some one or two of us. Yeah.
[52:55] Or three of us. Or >> what is that? The 24th.
[52:59] » Yeah.
[53:06] » Kansas. >> Okay. All right.
[53:10] Anything else under commissioner reports?
[53:14] That's all I had, ma'am. >> Okay. All right. So, we're down to
[53:18] minutes and bills.
[53:45] » [snorts]
[53:58] » H.
[54:07] Bless, >> did you do you get that email from
[54:09] Haley? I think she sent these out from >> I don't have my county phone with me.
[54:14] » Ah, that's all right. >> I was just gonna, you know,
[54:18] » I understand. >> Back your play essentially.
[54:23] » Take our word for it. >> Yeah.
[54:50] Man, I can't do it.
[55:14] Thank you.
[56:34] Um I think I was not here this day. Um on the
[56:42] says Commissioner Smith moves to approve PO and it has a certain number regarding
[56:46] the publication of delinquent real estate taxes. Does that have a dollar
[56:50] amount that would have gone with it? Yes. Yeah. And I don't remember what it
[56:54] was. It was a lot cuz Becky was down here talk Yeah. Becky was down here
[56:58] talking about uh running it, you know, three weeks in a row in the paper and
[57:02] she had that dollar amount there. I can't remember what that was.
[57:05] » 20 something,000. >> It was Yeah. I mean, it was a lot
[57:10] because that was a We talked about it. >> We can get the amount from the number.
[57:15] » Yeah.
[1:00:02] grammatical stuff. >> Yeah.
[1:00:06] » Oh, yeah. I thought I found something ground shaking and I was going to on
[1:00:10] this one about the PBC meeting, but she just put that at the end of it. So, I
[1:00:13] was like, well, that wasted too many straight scribbles on it. But yeah,
[1:00:18] other than that, just a couple grammatical things.
[1:00:20] » So, you want to start? >> Sure.
[1:00:48] Okay, there seems to be other way around.
[1:00:52] » I didn't see this one.
[1:01:38] Once I hear this
[1:02:04] All right.
[1:02:48] I'll just let you send it out to the commissioners
[1:02:55] while not want to communicate. >> Okay.
[1:03:01] » For an FYI for them. >> Gotcha.
[1:03:10] » Please and thank you.
[1:03:19] » Oh. I don't know if the PBC meeting can be
[1:03:22] inside these
[1:03:26] » at the very end like that. >> Well,
[1:03:30] it's I mean it's not part of our meeting >> because we recess then we have the PBC
[1:03:36] then we open it back up. So the PBC information that needs to be a separate
[1:03:40] meeting minute. >> I don't think it I don't think it can be
[1:03:44] inside. >> Who keeps the Yeah. Where do we keep the
[1:03:47] PBC minutes at? >> Well, there's a
[1:03:50] Yeah, in that shared drive when you go to like meeting minutes, there's a
[1:03:53] folder in there that says PBC. You got to look for it. I've seen it
[1:03:57] periodically, >> but the PBC minutes, those are a
[1:04:01] separate. >> So, we just need to take that out.
[1:04:04] » Yeah. So, yeah. So, that'll just need to be taken out and then just uh written.
[1:04:08] » Yeah. Historically, they were their own page.
[1:04:11] » Okay. We will both of them separately. Okay.
[1:04:16] » Yeah.
[1:04:27] close to getting that project done too, less.
[1:04:30] » I know. It's great. >> And then we could finally figure out
[1:04:35] what we're going to do with the PBC. >> Yeah,
[1:04:41] it would be great to have it as an actual PBC.
[1:04:45] » Yeah. an actual committee that didn't necessarily consist of the
[1:04:48] commissioners. >> Right.
[1:04:50] » Right.
[1:05:04] This is not a word.
[1:05:08] I hear that all the time. I'm like, that's not a word.
[1:05:15] It's a thought forthought translation. >> I don't know. It's been around for a few
[1:05:19] years and I'm like
[1:05:57] Yeah. So now here where she did the recess, this is this is fine here.
[1:06:01] » Like that. >> Yeah. Because it does it does show that
[1:06:03] we went out and then came back in. >> Yeah.
[1:06:09] Okay. So, there's not a lot on here. So, once we do the bills, if we can you pull
[1:06:17] up the minutes and we'll just go through the things and just Okay. And that way
[1:06:21] we can just So, we'll do that last.
[1:06:27] All right. So, last of the bills. >> I saw all the capers.
[1:06:33] » So, 26 of them. So that's
[1:06:36] » well we're kind of what's been paid. >> We're still a little bit behind on being
[1:06:42] paid up. >> So the filings it looked like it was up
[1:06:45] through maybe >> yeah.
[1:06:49] » So when it comes through it's going through a clearing. You called it a
[1:06:52] payroll clearing. So it's a way that it's through the system. It hits the
[1:06:56] system appropriately as a caper's >> contribution
[1:07:03] » and payroll expense to the capers account.
[1:07:09] » Okay. >> Right now it's just cash and
[1:07:14] » payroll heads the other side will be that payroll.
[1:07:17] » Okay.
[1:07:20] » Yeah. I just >> Yeah. So
[1:07:25] yeah I've not seen it come through in that way but it makes sense what what
[1:07:30] you're saying. So if you want to look through
[1:07:34] I had one qu Oh, I did have one question in the back.
[1:07:40] There was another report. There's two reports
[1:07:47] and this
[1:07:52] » Can you tell me if this is a separate report or I feel like this is in here?
[1:07:59] But >> yeah, this is
[1:08:02] » this number doesn't match any of these. And so I didn't know if this was an
[1:08:09] extension or a separate report. That's one Addie runs
[1:08:13] when she gets done. >> Okay.
[1:08:15] » But it doesn't match, huh? >> Well,
[1:08:18] » 92. >> It still says that number.
[1:08:26] So, we have checks, wires, direct deposits.
[1:08:30] But I feel like when I was looking through these items,
[1:08:35] I felt like
[1:08:40] Let me see what some of the other ones are. CIC for five. So see there's CIC
[1:08:45] for 53249 which matches that.
[1:08:54] 40 which has everything and then the 43
[1:08:59] 44 and the 45. And there's this APLT10 autopays.
[1:09:08] which >> just out of bed.
[1:09:13] » Does that match
[1:09:19] that matches that one? >> That's okay.
[1:09:25] And then this
[1:09:36] see how nicely they divided it and then I'm here looking for they're like just
[1:09:41] go to the divider. >> Okay. So I think this
[1:09:45] » is everything but up should be >> okay. So then I'm wondering if the 87
[1:09:50] » What's your difference between the two totals?
[1:09:53] » Well, add 87 and those two and I bet that meets um
[1:10:02] add 87 536 80 and 5,7474
[1:10:12] » 92. >> Mhm.
[1:10:13] » All right, that makes sense then. Okay. All right. I looked through these
[1:10:18] earlier before the >> check. Check.
[1:10:19] » So, >> okay.
[1:10:22] » Do that. >> Catastrophe adverted there.
[1:10:26] » Well, I'm nerdy that way. I want all the numbers to match. I want to
[1:10:30] » Well, that's kind of important. I'd agree with that.
[1:10:33] » Okay.
[1:10:36] [sighs]
[1:10:46] So here
[1:10:53] » emphasis is just
[1:10:57] » Hey Les. >> Yes sir. What do you remember about that
[1:11:01] uh >> the uh the fuel kiosk, the pumps and
[1:11:06] stuff from double check that we were going to get set up over there at uh
[1:11:09] Roaden Bridge? Uh well, I remember it turned into a
[1:11:13] great debacle and some people sent some people out, but they didn't send an
[1:11:20] electrician or we were to provide an electrician and we
[1:11:25] Ryan got surprised because those guys just showed up and then he was unable to
[1:11:30] get an electrician there when he needed them.
[1:11:33] » So, last I knew, those guys had left and as far as I knew, it hadn't ever really
[1:11:38] gotten done. No, it hadn't. Uh, I'm trying to work with Ryan and pick up the
[1:11:44] pieces on that and hammer that thing home,
[1:11:47] » but you know, >> we were both unclear as to whether
[1:11:52] » they were supposed to like double check the installer was providing the
[1:11:56] contractor, the electrician, or if we were supposed to do that. And I mean,
[1:12:01] » okay. >> Yes. Yes. That was the big hangup in the
[1:12:05] very beginning cuz like I said uh doublete showed up uh unannounced from
[1:12:10] what I understand and uh we did not have an electrician there or
[1:12:16] » we didn't have the electrician's work done so that they could complete their
[1:12:20] work >> and it'll happen
[1:12:25] probably ought to get double check in on a meeting or something find out what a
[1:12:29] good day for them to be and what their needs are. Yeah. I mean, we got
[1:12:33] » We've got plenty of electricians around. >> Yeah. I mean, we got guys we could get
[1:12:38] to, you know, whatever. They just need conduit run or need new wires. Whatever
[1:12:41] it is, we can get it done. I mean, it wasn't crazy. I mean, it wasn't
[1:12:45] something like a different phase or transformer or something like that. Was
[1:12:48] it? >> No, I don't believe so.
[1:12:52] » Okay. >> It just needed some circuit on it, I
[1:12:56] believe. >> Okay. Well, I mean, I I'm confident we
[1:12:59] can make that happen, and I know that would be beneficial for the county, for
[1:13:02] the uh the staff that use that. So, >> this needs to be out.
[1:13:08] » All right, I'll follow up on that. See what I can come up with.
[1:13:13] » Yeah, let me know if I can help out. Like, we've got plenty of electricians,
[1:13:17] I'm sure, that would >> love to take that on.
[1:13:21] » Were you involved? Were you part of that when they were talking? That would have
[1:13:24] been like 20 24 20 something.
[1:13:28] » We we were involved to the extent that we approved the contract, you know,
[1:13:32] approved the work and whatnot, but as for physically organizing anything
[1:13:37] though, >> right? I mean, that was all
[1:13:38] » commissioners discussed. >> It was all done. Right. I mean,
[1:13:41] » right. Right. >> Okay. I hear that word a lot and
[1:13:47] » that was about the tail end of that was uh I think the stuff was materials had
[1:13:51] been delivered or something rather when I started and that and then that was the
[1:13:56] end of it. >> Okay. Down here for approval
[1:14:01] disapprove the meeting of July 14th.
[1:14:06] [clears throat]
[1:14:10] Okay,
[1:14:14] I think that's those >> le you didn't have any questions on the
[1:14:19] bills, did you? >> Uh, no, sir.
[1:14:25] » Oh, I need to give you the name of that. We need to just get it on. Do you have
[1:14:30] either of those, but
[1:14:35] we'll have to add them after the meeting. Maybe we'll work on that and
[1:14:38] we'll add that
[1:14:46] Okay. When you're ready,
[1:14:57] [snorts]
[1:15:09] down at the bottom. The only thing is it says table.
[1:15:20] » It's just a >> I'm not even good at grammar, but
[1:15:24] sometimes I see things.
[1:15:37] after 14th Street just put out
[1:15:42] law enforcement.
[1:15:46] » Bless for your information since you're not here and you can't see we're
[1:15:51] correcting some typos and stuff on some minutes. See if we can get those
[1:15:53] approved today. >> Yeah. and will be discussed in the PBC
[1:16:00] » and removing that PBC off the the minutes page and moving it to the a
[1:16:05] separate page >> separate minutes
[1:16:16] just knock them out today and then it doesn't push the next
[1:16:22] » discuss >> yeah and discussed
[1:16:32] down here for Chronicle for the Chronicle.
[1:16:43] Now, the one thing we don't have if you I'll be fine with approving, you'll need
[1:16:47] to stick in the number here, but moves to approve PO number 487
[1:16:53] in the amount of
[1:16:56] and then you guys can look that up and add it. So, we'll approve it knowing
[1:17:01] you're
[1:17:21] so here it says the project is $65.
[1:17:33] and the county match is%.
[1:17:44] » Hey Tony, >> how is uh the office working out up
[1:17:49] there? >> The Dalton is kind of taking over
[1:17:52] payroll. Is that kind of be his niche? >> Yeah, he's
[1:17:57] He's getting there. >> Okay.
[1:18:06] » Sure.
[1:18:17] » Yeah. >> Yeah. There's there's quite a bit to it
[1:18:21] » to use for the project. >> 80.
[1:18:26] Yeah. And then the uh >> the AP runs the accounts payable and
[1:18:32] everything. Is that taking up most of your time? I mean, you're are you
[1:18:36] » I'm still spending a lot of time. >> Yeah.
[1:18:39] » Okay. Down in executive session. >> So,
[1:18:41] » Commissioner Smith moves to executive session.
[1:18:44] » Yeah. >> So, we're trying to
[1:18:47] » figure out how to fix that, >> streamline that. So, it's a regulated
[1:18:51] process. I guess you regarding the non non-elected personnel
[1:18:55] » chasing down stuff. >> Chasing down.
[1:18:58] » Yeah. >> Knowing what's not
[1:19:06] going on >> as it happens.
[1:19:08] » Yeah. >> Is there you think it's just a flow of
[1:19:12] information is what the just
[1:19:18] » more.
[1:19:22] If you want to print that and you will just
[1:19:26] » sure we can make that happen probably or at least give some suggestions.
[1:19:30] » I'll toss these things.
[1:19:36] » We're going to sit down and talk's >> Yeah.
[1:19:42] » Yeah. >> Right on.
[1:19:46] » Okay. >> Sorry, we were time filling.
[1:19:48] » It's fine. She's going to They're printing those upstairs
[1:19:51] » eventually. We just need to get her connected to this printer and then she
[1:19:54] can print. They're going to bring down the revised ones. We can approve them.
[1:19:57] The only thing they need to add is the dollar amount for the PO,
[1:20:00] » right? >> We'll just go ahead and approve them as
[1:20:01] is knowing they're going to add that. >> Sure.
[1:20:04] » And then those two dates. >> I'm okay with that. Yeah. There wasn't
[1:20:06] anything besides the typos and some grammar.
[1:20:09] » Yeah. Yeah. It was really grammar typos. It's very minimal things. Okay. So, do
[1:20:14] you have any questions on the bills? >> No, ma'am.
[1:20:16] » Okay. So
[1:20:24] all right. So I would move to approve paying the bills
[1:20:30] for a batch number 8.25.26
[1:20:36] AE autopays
[1:20:39] in the amount of $564,3314.
[1:20:46] » Second. All those in favor say I. >> I.
[1:20:49] » I. All opposed. Motion carries.
[1:20:59] » 25. I >> think so.
[1:21:01] » Okay. Sign that. And then there was one other item
[1:21:07] that Tony had received. I think we're going to need Sean to look at this to
[1:21:12] see if we qualify for a single audit then. Well, I don't think we have a
[1:21:16] million question is do we have a million dollars? We don't have a million dollar
[1:21:21] grants >> and it's through K dot.
[1:21:24] » Yeah, but I wasn't sure about the million dollars. I want to bring it to
[1:21:29] you guys. But I would check for you. We're not we're not we don't need an
[1:21:36] I wanted to be sure of that because I've only been around a few weeks now. I
[1:21:40] think we would need to check with Ryan because if it's K dot.
[1:21:45] » Yeah. >> Right. He would be the main
[1:21:50] » because I know I know Colleen had worked with him on
[1:21:54] some stuff for grants, but this is >> qualified for this.
[1:22:00] » I don't know. >> I don't know who I can't remember who
[1:22:02] Ryan wrote them grants through. I don't remember if it was KOD or if it was a
[1:22:06] » Yeah. Okay. Yeah, I would work with him because if
[1:22:11] it's under the million then we do not have to do the single audit
[1:22:17] and this is yeah July 1st of 25 through June 30th of
[1:22:22] 26. So I'll leave it in the book but check with him
[1:22:28] » and then if if we did meet the threshold then the single audit
[1:22:33] we would probably have to have a different an additional engagement
[1:22:36] letter. I didn't know the single audit paper.
[1:22:40] » Same thing. >> It just Yeah. They just there would be a
[1:22:43] separate engagement letter >> that just states that they're doing a
[1:22:46] single audit and what it's for and that sort of thing.
[1:22:49] » So, okay, we're done with this. We did this, right?
[1:22:52] » Okay. So, we're just waiting for her to bring those minutes down. We can approve
[1:22:56] those and we'll sign. Anything else? I know you
[1:23:01] are going to he has a question on something with his HSA.
[1:23:06] Um, so I told him to visit with you and Dalton, but he can't he can't get his
[1:23:10] HSA card issued >> and so whether [clears throat] it's been
[1:23:14] issued and lost or issued and never received
[1:23:16] » it was said they said it was sent out in January and I never got
[1:23:19] » right. So he needs a different another HSA card issued.
[1:23:22] » So you can do bottom line I did this the other day. You can do a replacement
[1:23:27] card. >> I tried to convince him of that and try
[1:23:31] I talked to five different people yesterday. Okay. One of them had his hat
[1:23:35] on too tight. [laughter] The other one had no clue what was going
[1:23:42] on. He did confirm that I had money in there. But he says, "I can't get you a
[1:23:46] card because I need your other card to get it." I said, "Well, I never got it,
[1:23:52] so how can I give you any information?"
[1:23:57] » They said you was going to have to >> I'd call them and give them another
[1:24:02] call. Okay. >> And the other thing I got is
[1:24:07] why are we switching back and forth cards?
[1:24:11] » Did we swap out of that >> health net or whatever card? And I had
[1:24:16] the Met Life cards before. >> Why can't we stay with one card? We went
[1:24:22] to state benefits. >> I understand that. But what I'm getting
[1:24:25] at is why can't it be in one account all the time and not be switching back?
[1:24:29] Well, I I think when we moved to the state plan, that's the vendors that they
[1:24:33] use and so we had to go with them because that's the vendors the state
[1:24:36] plan uses. >> Okay.
[1:24:38] » So, yeah, >> I hear you.
[1:24:41] » It does not make no sense to be You know what I'm saying?
[1:24:46] » Yeah. >> Yeah.
[1:24:47] » Did you have a separate one for the PBC? One other thing is is there any way we
[1:24:52] can get
[1:24:58] » access
[1:25:05] and that solve the problem because then I can see everything in black and white
[1:25:11] » too much nonsense on there. >> So if you can figure out how to get a
[1:25:17] page up of it. I don't care how it comes.
[1:25:24] » If it's a weak plate, it's a weak plate. It doesn't matter. But if you can look
[1:25:29] at it in black and white, it's in black and white.
[1:25:33] » Except PBC just
[1:25:47] » Yeah. Yeah, I don't know. So often it seems like the state will bounce back
[1:25:50] and forth between using new synergy or MetLife for the HSA stuff. And
[1:25:57] » they give you the option every year if you if you catch it in time to roll it
[1:26:01] over into the other account without the penalty. But
[1:26:07] » I'm not very good at that. didn't even realize that life. I was using my
[1:26:13] » card >> and there was never no funds going in
[1:26:17] there and I didn't even think about >> eventually got it all. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
[1:26:30] What's going on? >> Wife went up to Christine yesterday and
[1:26:35] they printed everything. You can see where
[1:26:40] some place else. >> Yeah.
[1:26:54] » She is putting together that PBC thing and then we will just approve them.
[1:26:58] » Okay. I know we talked about that once upon a time too. Did the PBC have to
[1:27:03] approve the PBC minutes or was it the [laughter]
[1:27:06] remember that? >> We've had that.
[1:27:11] » Oh boy.
[1:27:15] » Good times.
[1:27:28] » All right. Were you talking to me? >> No, I was just making comments to fill
[1:27:31] the air. >> Oh, gotcha. Okay.
[1:27:34] » That's one thing. in two meetings here. >> I know one thing I can't stand in
[1:27:37] conversation. It's >> air.
[1:27:40] » I'll just mind my business and stay out of it.
[1:27:42] » All right. >> I was trying to be witty, but that's I
[1:27:45] failed completely. So, >> how that goes.
[1:27:49] » Yeah. >> I think what we could do is we'll
[1:27:51] approve those PBCs. >> Okay.
[1:27:53] » However, we need we need Josh to double check.
[1:27:57] » Sure. If it has to be done through the PBC, then what we can do is at some
[1:28:02] point we may just have to get all the PBC minutes that have already been
[1:28:06] approved this way, have a meeting approve them.
[1:28:09] » I I don't know. >> It's there's a lot of documentation on
[1:28:13] it. I mean, it's not like it's >> correct
[1:28:15] » happening behind a veil or anything. It's just
[1:28:17] » No,
[1:28:21] » 20 years from now, somebody look at that and say, "What were they doing?
[1:28:48] But other than that, these these are done.
[1:28:50] » Yeah. All right.
[1:28:59] She's getting her stairs in.
[1:29:06] » Oops.
[1:29:10] [snorts]
[1:29:17] [snorts]
[1:29:21] All right. So, I would move to approve
[1:29:26] the August 5th, 2026
[1:29:32] and August 11th, 2026 meeting minutes. Osage County meeting
[1:29:39] minutes as presented. >> Second.
[1:29:44] » All those in favor say I. >> I.
[1:29:47] » I. All oppose. Motion carries. And then I would move to approve the PBC minutes
[1:29:54] for August 5th, 2026 as presented. >> Second.
[1:29:59] » All those in favor say I. >> I.
[1:30:01] » I. >> Sign these.
[1:30:30] Okay,
[1:30:40] » there. >> Looks great.
[1:30:44] » I didn't throw away your fancy click, did I?
[1:30:47] Did I leave it over there? Your little cute clip.
[1:30:51] » Yes,
[1:30:59] » it's the little stuff. >> I understand, Haley. Yeah, I get you.
[1:31:09] » Okay. Is there anything else?
[1:31:15] taxual corrections is something I'm going to take to Trisha.
[1:31:19] All right. So, September 1st, we have our first fence viewing.
[1:31:25] » Mhm. >> Next week.
[1:31:27] » You still on for that last? >> Say that again.
[1:31:30] » That fence viewing >> next uh
[1:31:34] » next week first. >> Next the 9th you said or something like
[1:31:37] that. What did you say? >> The first.
[1:31:41] » The first. [clears throat] I thought I put it on my calendar, but
[1:31:46] » I don't know. >> Okay. Well, if there is nothing else,
[1:31:51] then I would just need a motion to adjurnn.
[1:31:58] » So moved. >> Second. All those in favor say I.
