[11:24] motion in a second those in favor say
aye
[11:34] the solicitors report maybe did to cover
a couple of things just there's so much
[11:48] information as I've been made available
in the last week plus about this but
[11:54] just want to make sure everyone's aware
that our election day has been
[11:57] officially moved from April 28th to June
the second we have not yet received
[12:04] information from the Department of State
as far as all the changes that were
[12:08] contained in the new law just passed but
by changing the election day from April
[12:14] 28th to June 2nd it also changes
deadlines for registration and in fact
[12:20] that time period I believe has been
short now from 30 days to 15 days they
[12:26] did specifically did not does not make a
change to the fall election which will
[12:30] still be occurring on November 3rd it
does allow counties and we will have to
[12:36] look at this to determine whether or not
it would be advantageous for us to
[12:39] consolidate polling places and it does
allow for staffing changes with regard
[12:46] to polling places so this is just a
brand new long we have not actually
[12:50] received much information yet from the
Department of State and we will continue
[12:55] to to review that as that goes forward
we received guidance from the Department
[13:04] of office of the records about how to
conduct meetings such as this and that's
[13:08] why we're trying to do it this way where
we're following the guidance that we
[13:12] have received from the office of open
records one thing the office of open
[13:17] records has about the website is that
unless there is a need an urgent need to
[13:23] access records they're asking people not
to file new right to know
[13:28] at this time their office is working
remotely our County is down in staff and
[13:34] they're asking the folks not proceed to
file right-to-know request in the
[13:38] absence of there being an urgent need to
access those records at this time while
[13:42] we're in a coded 19 emergency situation
that's all that I have mr. chairman okay
[13:49] thank you
so we're never second round of public
[13:54] comment just remaining improving please
state your name and where our township
[14:00] you you would be from a region or
whenever needed to just address that
[14:24] County purchased a car sometime in
approximately the last month is that and
[14:31] I don't department that was or anything
[14:39] well the only thing I'm aware of is
there was a vehicle that was replaced
[14:45] for conservation no no it was paroled
probation parole had one with that was
[14:55] replaced yet within the last month
[15:03] [Music]
yes it was in fact actually we spent
[15:10] under the button we spent under the
budgeted amount or the vehicle now we
[15:21] went to come started yeah I'm just going
to say that particular vehicle rather
[15:32] than okay we have been waiting sheriff I
could I just want to correct
[16:41] misstatement I didn't say that you can't
file right to the request what I said
[16:46] was the department that encouraged
people not to file right - no requests
[16:49] during this kind of a 19 bar so that
people can perform other functions but
[16:55] um if you correct me if I'm wrong
Shannon but did we not receive a right -
[17:01] no request very very very recently from
this words with regard to that report
[17:06] yes I just
this morning we are going to be someone
[17:10] that out well that's going to be going
that I think this is words I'm correct
[17:25] because because quite people there's not
a lot of effort or time required we're
[17:30] simply going to give you that entire
report there's not a lot of information
[17:33] you have to simply know where it said
we're just going to you'll get that
[17:36] entire report this week okay okay you
have comments from the press
[17:55] Jim Ronnie do you have anything sorry I
was muted that's okay yeah obviously
[18:13] over the weekend very reported its first
case kuroh virus who cringes are taking
[18:20] the various steps to kind of put things
in place in cases of needed has it much
[18:26] thought given to the fact that harry
like like other counties similar in
[18:34] rural nature doesn't have a whole lot of
access to health care options they're
[18:42] limited particularly emergency options
and people have to travel to that is any
[18:48] type of preparation being made in case
that becomes an issue later on
[18:59] yeah mystery is enough thing on there
Jim I just reached out to our health
[19:09] coalition folks about 10 minutes ago
making some inquiries concerning this
[19:18] very issue up to and including testing
sites do or a close proximity with
[19:24] workers in a more metropolitan area my
cover moved off in Canada that perhaps
[19:30] that they could consider Perry County as
a testing site and what hoops we would
[19:37] have to perhaps go through to make
preparation for that if it were possible
[19:42] to proceed with that and again that was
just very recently within the last 10
[19:51] minutes obviously I have not received a
response but over the weekend I had
[19:58] several constituents be in touch with at
least myself and I'm sure my other two
[20:04] commissioners may have had importance
about the same subject I think that's
[20:08] very relevant and again since a lot of
our workers are commuting back and forth
[20:15] for both social and economic reasons
back and forth of other metropolitan
[20:20] areas
I think it's something worth
[20:22] consideration that we're pursuing okay
yeah we can I think the thought behind
[20:28] that is that we can keep folks in our
county away from the counties that have
[20:35] higher incidents of this virus that will
be beneficial to everyone up here
[20:50] okay so just just to clarify
real quick sorry about that just to
[20:56] clarify real quick this around you if
you're saying basically you're urging
[21:02] people in the county to it takes serious
that the social distancing kind of lines
[21:08] and if they don't have travel to places
that I've seen more cases please don't
[21:14] absolutely it's that's just common sense
okay all right thank you this time I'll
[21:29] entertain a motion that we adjourn and
everyone thank you for participating in
[21:46] our it's another woman here today in
County history doing a telephone
[21:52] conference meeting and thanks for all
the patients and participation thanks
[21:58] again
[22:03] [Music]
