[4:46] Father, we thank you tonight, Lord, for
all your blessings and all your
[4:49] helpfulness. Father, we ask that you
would bless this county, bless the
[4:53] people in this county, and guide us in
the right direction for the people in
[4:56] this county. Jesus' name we pray. Amen.
Amen.
[5:00] And now for the pledge.
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the
[5:05] United States of America,
>> [groaning]
[5:07] » and to the republic for which it stands,
one nation under God, indivisible, with
[5:13] liberty and justice for all. Thank you.
[5:20] Okay. Um

[5:27] And then, uh Sheila, roll call.
Sam
[5:31] Allison,
Ronnie Warner, Here.
[5:34] Davis, Here.
Okay.
[5:41] Approval of minutes. So, we have before
us the minutes for the March the 5th,
[5:45] 2026 meeting.
Um just need a
[5:50] motion.
Motion to approve minutes.
[5:53] » And I will second that. All in favor?
Aye. Aye.
[5:58] Um
>> [cough]
[6:01] » claims.
[6:04] This month's claims, uh
payroll, $323,767.27.
[6:14] Regular claims, $234,351.17.
[6:20] Out-of-cycle claims, which would be your
utilities and credit cards and our
[6:24] Toshiba contract, is $54,742.20.
[6:30] For a grand total of $612,860.64.
[6:36] That's our claims.
[6:41] Move to approve claims. And I will
second that. All in favor? Aye. Aye.
[6:48] All right.
[6:57] L Financial Monthly Funds Report.
Funds report in front of you
[7:03] is varied. I went ahead and
took it through the end of the month. We
[7:06] received some things in. General fund is
staying where it's 6,000,001.
[7:12] Uh the others again pretty comparable to
what we're doing. The highway is
[7:16] bringing in the money between the 76-73.
LIT is coming in in $107,000
[7:23] a month.
Um we are going to need to relook at the
[7:27] LIT and where we're at in balances. And
currently, there's 2.6 million in there.
[7:32] However, by the time you take this
year's $855,000
[7:37] budget plus you added the 600,000 for
the highway, we know we're going to have
[7:41] to come back for additional
appropriation for the radio project at
[7:45] the council meeting coming up. So, we're
going to have to keep an eye on that
[7:49] cash balance and moving forward. And if
you can only count on $107,000 a month
[7:54] coming in, you might have to to
break things down in payments. But,
[8:00] the money will still be bringing revenue
in. It's just might have to be spread
[8:04] out.
[8:07] All righty.
Old business. Um Ellington Park. I just
[8:12] spoke with Tony a little bit. I'm
actually going to let Tony speak on
[8:16] Ellington Park because he knows
where we're at in the process of
[8:20] separating the HOA and
and that road. So, go ahead, Tony. Sure.
[8:25] Uh I've got somebody at my office who is
looking at it and has started the
[8:27] process of getting that done.
I need some additional information from
[8:31] the county, and I've talked to folks
just today, and we're in the process of
[8:36] getting that. Once we get that, we
should be able to turn the documents
[8:39] around and hopefully get them out. And I
need to know from the subdivision, you
[8:44] know, we got to get unanimous, 100%
support to do it.
[8:48] Uh so, that'll be the next step. So, are
We're moving it along.
[8:52] Do they need to go ahead and start
working on the 100% participation? It
[8:56] wouldn't hurt at least to talk to people
and make sure that that support is out
[8:59] there. I'd hate to do this work and then
it turns out that somebody doesn't want
[9:02] to do it.
>> today?
[9:04] No. Okay. I will call her after the
meeting cuz she called me earlier and
[9:09] let her know that they need to go ahead
and get working on the 100%
[9:11] participation.
>> Yeah, I I just want to make sure the
[9:13] support is there before we start doing
the work. Right. Okay. Good enough.
[9:19] All right.
Um
[9:23] Dial project review. I think the only
thing we have on that is
[9:27] Did you bring something with you, Mr.
Keith?
[9:29] Okay.
All this is is just some documents, an
[9:34] information packet for all of you to
look at.
[9:36] » Turn that on, Tilden, and then state
your name so so that everybody at home
[9:41] can hear.
[9:44] I think that's on, isn't it? It's red.
Uh right there. This one? Yeah. Oh,
[9:50] there we go.
My name is Tilden Keith with Keith
[9:53] Realty, and I was just bringing the
information packets in regards to the
[9:57] the ground that we was talking about
earlier.
[10:00] Everything's in here, but it's basically
just information for you guys to take,
[10:04] digest, look over as much as you want
to. My contact information's on the
[10:09] envelope. Any questions that that arise,
I can answer any questions as far as
[10:13] that goes. That's all it was, just bring
you guys information. All right. Okay.
[10:18] So, we'll take it under advisement.

on the square.
[13:11] Uh when I got into being department, it
got let down.

work to do, but we're going to get that
[14:15] taken care of before we get to that
point. But, you know, I really
[14:18] appreciate it. So,
uh first will be I would like to make a
[14:22] motion that we waive the fee for the
special event.
[14:24] » I'll second that. All right. All in
favor? To approve? Aye.

[24:57] We cannot keep going with 12 guys on the
road.
[25:00] Right now, it's either work on gravel
roads
[25:03] or work on asphalt. I can't do both at
the same time. We don't have enough

[25:34] » It's frustrating cuz I can't do both. I
understand.
[25:37] » the storms that we've had in with it
I think I've said this to you once once
[25:41] or twice.
Right.
[25:43] » [laughter]

[25:46] where you get a couple of people. Uh
okay. We'll uh
[25:50] We'll get that one on that meeting where
we we're talking just about highway
[25:52] department.
Anybody else?
[25:57] Department heads?
Before we go to public comment, I do
[26:01] want to say
for our veterans out there and the VSOs,
[26:05] we do have a van coming your way.
Uh we purchased a brand new van.
[26:10] Uh
>> [snorts]
[26:11] » it should be here in a couple weeks,
what the gentleman told me.
[26:15] So, it'll be nice. When we figure out
when it's going to be here, we'll try to
[26:18] let everybody know and see if we can get
some veterans out there to
[26:23] go meet with the van and meet with us
and so on. Uh Sheila had a good idea,
[26:27] too, and and I I think it's a really
good idea, but when we go to brand the
[26:32] to put Owen Owen County Veterans on it.
Um
[26:37] We need to get with the different
branches of of the veterans here in
[26:40] town. Uh you know, the different
Army, Navy
[26:45] But, if we could open that up maybe and
make a contest out of it and have um
[26:49] some local students
maybe give make proposals of here's
[26:54] what, you know,
the uh
[26:58] graphic could look like, something like
that.
[27:01] Or the veterans themselves.
[27:04] Right.
[27:10] Yeah.
[27:12] I'd say it's the veterans' vehicle. Let
the veterans do it.
[27:16] What do you think?
[27:20] I said, "Let's let the veterans do it.
It's going to be their van."
[27:25] Make Roger go out there and paint it
with a paintbrush.
[27:27] » [laughter]
>> We'll give you We'll give you some
[27:29] markers and some crayons.
[27:34] How's your How's your freehand drawing,
Roger? Is it pretty good?
[27:41] It's honor guard's guard, everybody,
handicap. Take you to Indian. It It's a
[27:46] very nice van. From the drawings that I
seen and everything and the VSO, he laid
[27:51] it out.
[27:54] You'll have earned
[27:59] Right.
[28:07] » [laughter]
[28:20] » Well, you you got a new one coming.
Brand new Couple weeks.
[28:24] And the the numbers that you were
talking about for people that need to be
[28:28] in it was taken into account when we
went to get this one, so you should be
[28:31] covered.
[28:37] Well, I think I think it's five seats in
that now, if I remember correctly. It
[28:41] had one ramp in the back to get in and
out with a wheelchair and it's got the
[28:45] lockdowns and the seats can actually be
removed from the floor
[28:50] then you know, if you need more room, so
[28:59] But, we we appreciate any help we get.
You're welcome.
[29:04] Okay.
Have I missed any agenda items
[29:09] that you know of other than public
comment? So, public comment.
[29:13] Yes, sir.
My name is John McKnight and I was here
[29:17] last fall
about Barley Road
[29:20] out there.
About what road? Barley Road Barley Road
[29:24] Okay.
How terrible the whole road is and
[29:28] which
Chad and his guys did fill some of the
[29:32] holes and roll it, but
you drive down that road and it's
[29:37] absolutely falling apart.
I mean, it's almost not even a road in
[29:42] places anymore. And also
at that same meeting last fall,
[29:48] they were going to replace the Byerly
Road sign
[29:51] at 246
and Patrick's Road,
[29:55] which has never been been put up. And
then that
[29:59] drain
you were going to talk to the state
[30:02] about fixing that drain.
>> I turned that over to the INDOT and I
[30:06] haven't heard anything back from them.
The Byerly Road sign, I still don't have
[30:10] the sign. I don't know We ordered signs
last week.
[30:16] I think I ordered some. I haven't gotten
So, the Byerly Road sign's on its way?
[30:21] Yes, it's just waiting on And INDOT's
you've already turned
[30:26] the ditch drainage and culvert pipe at
246 and Byerly Road is an INDOT pipe.
[30:31] Okay. I can try to make contact with
them again tomorrow, but
[30:36] sometimes you don't hear anything back
from them.
[30:40] Okay. So, I heard
that
[30:42] the county got money from the state
again for doing roads.
[30:46] For CCMG roads, yes.
So, is Byerly Road going to be on that?
[30:53] No, it The ones we read off tonight are
the ones that are on that on that.
[30:58] Um
So, is there a plan to keep fixing holes
[31:01] on Byerly Road or
I mean, this is pathetic.
[31:05] Absolutely pathetic. If you watch an
ambulance go down through there
[31:09] and you wonder how the person on the
other hand that's supposed to get picked
[31:13] up is going to make it.
[31:17] We'll get them out there with the with
the patcher
[31:20] fill them up.
[31:25] I ain't been out on it in a while. It's
rough. Is it?
[31:32] So, we'll see if we can get some
patching done out there and try to
[31:34] smooth it out as much as we can.
We'd like to fix them all, but
[31:37] » Oh, I know. I know. Yeah. I know,
believe me.
[31:40] » [laughter]
>> But I just wanted to commission I don't
[31:44] know if any of you has been down Byerly
Road all the way down there.
[31:47] » Oh, he has cuz it's out in his district.
>> it's it's a dirt field in places.
[31:53] We have a lot of roads like it.
There's a lot of people that's moved in
[31:59] down that road. There's a lot of traffic
on that road anymore.
[32:05] We'll get out there and take a peek at
it.
[32:09] Any other public comment? Yes, sir.
Yeah,
[32:11] my name is Matt Anderson.
You and I talked on the phone Yes.
[32:17] You've got
bigger issues than my issue, but
[32:20] nonetheless, quality of life issue here
regarding ordinances for dogs. Yes.
[32:25] » And noise. I understand you're you're
hoping to go through and revamp all
[32:29] that. Mhm. I just really encourage you
to do so.
[32:33] Um
I'm just facing a dog issue. Dogs
[32:36] roaming half mile from home.
The owners intentionally let them out
[32:41] regardless of what the sheriff tells
them to do. Court appearances.
[32:45] No uh fines or anything, but
just continue to be a nuisance.
[32:51] Um
the the noise issues with horns,
[32:55] spinning tires,
uh Lester Chapel, Rocky Hill Road, the
[32:59] tire marks all of them down there.
They're just racing up down tearing up
[33:04] the road. Have you notified the sheriff
on that? The sheriff has been out there
[33:08] twice to talk to them in the last year.
Okay. And they still do it.
[33:12] Um
But because of two weeks ago regarding
[33:16] the dogs, and supposedly there's a
a um
[33:20] electronic fence going in,
an invisible fence.
[33:24] We will see.
But I just encourage you to strengthen
[33:27] the ordinances
for the area. This is not only
[33:31] We cannot be the only ones who
complained about dogs in the last 30
[33:35] years. Um
But there's just a problem family where
[33:39] they don't care.
So, there used to be something in place
[33:43] to make them care.
Right. And uh when I talked to you, I I
[33:48] thought the leash law was more stringent
than it actually is. It's it's specific
[33:53] to parks, which was disheartening, but
um
[33:58] and I'm told there's something else
we've yet to find it anywhere.
[34:03] Uh and if we can't find it, it doesn't
exist. So,
[34:06] um There is a state ordinance
um but I don't know if I can use it
[34:10] effectively here or
>> I mean, it would take it would take
[34:13] precedence over
uh our local one
[34:16] » [snorts]
>> if it was in conflict with each other.
[34:18] State would would hold you know
hold serve, I guess. Hold serve or
[34:23] interpret. Okay. Thank you. Um
and I have talked to you and I'm not
[34:27] done with it yet. I mean, if we
we're going through the ordinances now
[34:32] and that'll be another section that we
can work on. Um there's there was a
[34:36] really good piece on that very subject
in the in the UDO that got voted down.
[34:42] So,
we will we'll try to beef it up, but
[34:46] it's it's a slow process. It is. So,
and other public comments, I think Jason
[34:52] » is Jason Ball. I am
apologize if you guys table is not in
[34:56] here in my area like it used to be.
But I was under the understanding you
[35:00] guys were going to have a list of county
roads that you were
[35:10] going to open up for
bids for ditch work and meeting next
[35:13] week, but
>> Next week? Yeah. Yeah. We're having
[35:15] that's why we're having a special
meeting and we're going to take care of
[35:18] that. Is the public is that meeting for
you or Uh it's a meeting for us and the
[35:22] highway department.
>> Okay.
[35:24] So, we're going to get our heads
together and figure out what we have to
[35:27] do and how much money we can afford.
>> I'm sorry. I said we're we're going to
[35:31] get our heads together, figure out how
much money we have, what roads we can
[35:34] and can't do, and and we're going to
look at it, but we are going to start
[35:37] tackling some roads.
So,
[35:40] » I have to learn that.
I mean, we've I've got my list. I know
[35:44] you got your list and Sam will have his
list. And then
[35:48] once we look at it, we'll get bids on
it, and then of course, the bids are
[35:52] going to push around what we can and
can't do based on the amount of funding
[35:56] that we have to do it. So, um
>> [clears throat]
[35:59] » we had hoped to we had hoped to deal
with that earlier. Um
[36:04] But anyway, we're going to do it next
week. Okay. Do I need to go
[36:07] Do I need to contact with you like bid
packets and Um
[36:12] I would like to think we would have a
standard packet that we can hand out to
[36:16] whoever wants to bid on it. And someone
sent put out a really good local
[36:20] contractor that does that kind of work.
You were on the list.
[36:23] Um
on Facebook and that that's a and
[36:27] everybody was local. So, maybe that's
the list we need to work off of and we
[36:31] can send these things out. It's really
>> want to stay local. Get in contact with
[36:34] me at the highway department after we
have the list and I get the bid packet
[36:38] drawn up. I'll make sure you get that.
Okay. I don't really monitor these
[36:41] meetings, so I don't really know what's
going Right. I just want to get my name
[36:43] out there right now and make sure you
Well, no. We we want to get as many bids
[36:47] as we can because that that will drive
the price down just from
[36:51] you know Of course. the bid process.
Plus, the more we can save, the more we
[36:55] can do. That's right. Um but yeah, we're
going to we're going to
[36:59] we're going to do that next week.
Any other public comments?
[37:05] All right. Seeing none, auditor?
Anything?
[37:10] Mr. Attorney, do you have anything?
Uh no, there's a couple of things going
[37:15] on, but not
not stuff for our meeting.
[37:18] Okay.
Commissioner Thomas, Dave, you got
[37:21] anything?
I have none.
[37:24] And I have nothing
to add.
[37:27] I would entertain a motion to adjourn.
I'll second. All right. We are
[37:31] adjourned. Thank you very much for
coming, folks.
