under God, indivisible, with liberty and
[0:25] justice for all.
[0:37] Okay.

[0:42] minutes, please?
[0:50] » I'll make a motion to approve them. Got

[0:54] approve the minutes from the August

[0:58] I'll second it.
>> Jake second. All in favor signify by
[1:02] saying I. I.
>> Anyone opposed? Same sign. Motion
[1:06] carries.
[1:10] Guest.
Are you representing for Jeff?
[1:15] » Yeah, I'm I'm here for 4 if you need me
for anything. I don't have anything.
[1:19] » You do or don't?
>> I don't.
[1:20] » Okay.
>> I'm just here.
[1:21] » Okay.
>> To help.
[1:23] » Okay.
So, Jeff ain't here. You don't have
[1:26] anything for 4. So
[1:30] I'm I'm gonna butcher your name. I'm
sorry.
[1:33] » This is Ashton Pilman.
>> Ashton. Okay. If you want to come up to
[1:37] the mic.
[1:46] » Okay. Do I just tell you what?
>> Just say who you are and who you're
[1:49] representing.
>> Okay. They have no idea, so start from
[1:54] scratch.
>> Okay. Okay. Okay. Um, I'm Ashton Pman
[1:56] and I'm a senior at South Ripley High
School. And this year I'm doing I want
[2:01] to do a Pay It Forward project to go to
Reigns to Recovery, which is a nonprofit
[2:05] ecoin farm. And they do like therapy for
mentally challenged kids and just in
[2:10] even adults that need just a little bit
of help getting their self-esteem back
[2:14] up. And they have horses and goats and
everything on their farm that they have
[2:19] like the kids and parents just play
with, love on, and everything, but they
[2:23] don't really get much. They don't charge
anybody for it. So, I was wanting to do
[2:28] a pay it forward project that all the
proceeds go to them for it. And I was
[2:32] wanting to do a truck and car show at
the fairgrounds where the grand stands
[2:36] is. Um, I have like we're not going to
be doing like drag races or anything.
[2:42] So, with that being said, I'm going to
get like donations and everything for
[2:45] like purses or like baked goods and
stuff to go for like the awards. And
[2:50] it's going to be just simply like
everybody's just going to go there, show
[2:55] off what they have. I have three
different classes that I want to do
[2:58] which are going to be broke down into
two like in each three. So, there's
[3:02] going to be a best sounding, a best
looking, and a best sound system. And
[3:06] for the trucks, we're going to do gas
and diesel. And then for the cars, we're
[3:09] going to do like V6s and V8s and stuff.
Um, with that being said, I don't I'm
[3:15] not going to allow people to like go
there and throw a party or something
[3:18] because I want it to be a good
environment for everybody to just hang
[3:22] out and show off what they have because
I know myself, I had a really nice truck
[3:26] and if I wouldn't have wrecked, I would
have liked to take it there. And I know
[3:30] a lot of people that have recently
bought new ones or they've been working
[3:34] on just trying to get out there more.
And there's a show in the beginning of
[3:39] October called FP in Tennessee. So I
don't want to do it before that or right
[3:44] after. So I was thinking maybe like the
very end of October or the beginning of
[3:48] November.
>> Okay. So you're wanting to do it on the
[3:53] grandstands or on the fairgrounds?
>> Like in the pits pretty much like where
[3:57] everybody can park out there and we like
me and my best friend Maddie, she's
[4:01] going to be doing it with me. Um, we're
going to walk around, judge everybody,
[4:05] tell them what to do. And I have a
couple people in mind for food trucks,
[4:09] too, that'll be down there. But I I
wanted to get it approved first before I
[4:12] get them like changing their schedule
around for me.
[4:15] » Okay.
>> To give you to elaborate on her a little
[4:18] bit, she goes to South Ripley. She's a
senior South.
[4:21] » South Ripley has a project. Um, every
senior has to do a pay it forward
[4:25] project. Yep. as a graduation
requirement where they have to do I mean
[4:30] some of them have done threeon-ree
tournaments um you know but they all
[4:35] have to do some kind of project and the
money they raise has to go to
[4:40] » nonprofit organization or something like
that so this is what she's wanting to do
[4:44] for her pay it forward
>> since she's a senior
[4:50] » so you said the end of October is that
correct
[4:53] » towards the end
>> yeah towards the end or the very
[4:55] beginning of November mber cuz I don't
want it to be too hot where people are
[4:58] going to be miserable and not want to be
down there.
[5:02] » Might be snowing end of October.
>> I hope it's not.
[5:05] » I hope it's not. [laughter]
>> I was thinking
[5:08] » we might be able to get some good
pictures that way, but [clears throat]
[5:13] » weather. You never know,
>> right?
[5:18] » Yeah. So,
[5:24] how many I'm just going to nonchalantly
ask some questions here. How many
[5:29] vehicles you think you can draw in for
something?
[5:32] » Well, I have like a business page, too,
that I can post it on on Facebook, and
[5:36] I'm friends with like a lot of people
that know a lot of people with vehicles
[5:39] that like to go to little shows like
this. So, I'm hoping that there could at
[5:43] least be like 20, 30 or maybe more. I'm
hoping.
[5:47] » Okay. As long as I'm I want to make some
flyers and post them everywhere. And
[5:51] » So, are you going to charge for people
to come into it or are you charging for
[5:55] the vehicle? Well, I'm I'm just curious
how you're if if you're paying it
[6:00] forward, there has to be some money
somewhere to
[6:03] » to pay for it. So,
>> so I have it on here. I wrote down. So,
[6:06] if you want to bring your truck or car,
it's $25. And then if you want to watch,
[6:11] it's five because I don't want to charge
people just to come down there and look
[6:14] at them for like a whole bunch. And I
have it like so like $5 for a wristband.
[6:19] You can get in and go look at all of
them, stay however long you want, hang
[6:23] out, sit down. And then for like the
vehicles and stuff, I feel like the cars
[6:29] I'm still not 100% sure on because I
don't want to charge people too much or
[6:33] too less and then not get enough to pay
it forward for them. But I'm hoping that
[6:37] I can get at least like 25 or $30 per
vehicle. And I'm going to have other
[6:43] stuff there. So like farm and garden and
stuff. I'm going to ask them for
[6:46] donations and stuff like that to go
towards it
[6:49] » and maybe sell some flowers or
something. And my boss owns a bake
[6:52] store, so I was going to ask if she
would be willing to do that, too.
[6:56] » Okay. Well, $25 for to bring me That's
cheap.
[7:01] » Mhm.
>> To a car show.
[7:08] » Okay.
Any questions? What do we usually charge
[7:13] for the use of it? The fairgrounds.
>> That's the part that I had in the back
[7:18] of my mind.
>> That's the part I had in the back of my
[7:20] mind.
>> Usually out there in the pits, it's
[7:23] $650.
>> Yeah.
[7:25] » But I think that's I mean,
>> how much you say?
[7:30] » 650.
>> 650.
[7:33] » Plus, they charge a um per person $2 per
person fee.
[7:40] talk about
[7:43] » she's going to pay it forward. That's
why I said she needs to ask you guys see
[7:47] what
[7:53] » So you going to take care of them
cleaning cleaning the trash up?
[7:57] » I planned on it. Yeah. I have a whole
bunch of friends that would help me out
[8:00] with everything.
>> Put some trash barrels out and stuff.
[8:03] » Oh yeah. I have trash bins at my house
that I use for like grain and stuff. So,
[8:07] I have stuff that
>> Well, my question is trying to help her
[8:11] out. Would she be better?
I know you're saying on the track.
[8:18] » Would she be better?
>> She would be better to have it in the
[8:22] midway.
>> Yes.
[8:25] » That's something that I mean,
>> is that like like in the grass where we
[8:31] are?
>> Yes. You know, you know where the cattle
[8:33] barn's at?
>> Yeah.
[8:35] » Okay. So if you came out of the cattle
barn right there where where the rides
[8:38] are.
>> Okay, I got you.
[8:39] » Yeah,
>> that would that was my thought. That was
[8:42] my thought is if
>> Yeah.
[8:44] » You know, it's one thing if a bunch of
people bring trucks, but if you get a
[8:46] bunch of people bringing nice cars, I
mean, the fact it's going to be dusty
[8:49] and if they are muddy.
>> Yeah. Right. And it'd be it would be
[8:54] better if it was
>> Yeah. You use you use a midway there,
[8:58] then you got parking's a lot handier
then. And then
[9:02] » Yeah. in it.
>> Yeah, that was that was my thoughts from
[9:05] the from the I understand where you know
>> Yeah. Then if you had it out there, you
[9:11] know, people could sit in the grand
stands and watch, but even if you have
[9:16] even if you have, you know, if all
you're going to if it's just a car show,
[9:20] people are going to want to walk around
and
[9:23] » look at
>> look at them anyway. So, it'd be it'd be
[9:26] better off.
>> What do we normally charge for that? for
[9:30] the midway is 200 for a day.
[9:36] » I still have
>> 200 a day.
[9:43] » That's Yeah, it's another thing too.
[9:53] » I was going to say is that
Yeah. If Yeah. if she have you looked
[10:00] into that at all like as far as if
you're required to
[10:04] » I mean that would be the that would that
would be
[10:06] » because we'd have to have some type of a
liability insurance saying that if
[10:10] somebody got hurt the park board the
park is not held responsible
[10:15] » we can like like is it like a contract
or something that we would write up and
[10:19] like that way everybody knows like if
somebody does get hurt nobody can do
[10:23] anything except help themselves. No, no.
Normally
[10:27] » the Lions Lions Club, they do event
insurance. They would sponsor an event
[10:33] insurance policy. We've done that.
>> The Lions Club would sponsor
[10:38] that a couple times.
>> Yeah. You think they' do it in this
[10:41] case?
[10:49] » But it has they have to be
to be under that insurance.
[10:54] » Yes.
Are you not?
[10:57] » She's in 4. She would be covered, but
coming onto the ground.
[11:01] » If Jim Johnson brought his car in and
something happened, he wouldn't be
[11:05] covered.
>> Yeah.
[11:07] » Yeah. Her her and any 4 member would be
under 4.
[11:12] » Yeah. But
>> yeah, Jim Johnson comes in and Ashton
[11:16] takes her pickup truck and runs over his
foot.
[11:19] » I know. [laughter]
[11:25] » [laughter]
>> So, you don't Monica, you don't think
[11:28] that would be a problem?
>> I don't think it will.
[11:31] » Um, I think that the Lions Club would
probably help that.
[11:34] » Okay.
>> So, well, I mean, that that's that's one
[11:37] thing that has to happen.
>> Um,
[11:40] » see, I've never done anything like this
before. So, like all this, I'm like,
[11:43] okay, I need to do this. I need to do
this.
[11:45] » Understand?
[11:48] » Would you say your money, you're paying
it forward? What's it your money going
[11:52] towards them?
>> Um, it's a nonprofit like horse therapy
[11:55] farm. So, they have like
>> Yeah.
[11:58] » Okay. That's So, I'm going to use him
for an example. It'd be kind of like Ron
[12:03] Brandice's
>> deal. Yes.
[12:06] » What Ron did there. Dogwood Acres or
Dogwood.
[12:10] » So, I mean, he had that where handicap
people come there and ride. So,
[12:15] » are you going to have vendors? I have a
couple of people that have like food
[12:20] trucks and stuff. I talked to one um
Holy Smoke and Pork and War. He comes
[12:24] into my work all the time and my boss is
like best friends with him. But he said
[12:28] he's booked up all through September. So
that's why I was saying like in if I can
[12:32] get it in the like end of October and
November, I can tell him now. That way
[12:35] he can have it planned out. And there's
I mean my boss knows people with like
[12:40] ice cream trucks pretty well.
>> The holy pork and more.
[12:43] » Yeah. So, um, and we I'm assuming we got
openings in October.
[12:50] » We do. The only event that we have in
October is we have, um, Cody Horn was
[12:57] doing a Halloween
um, Friday night was open mic karaoke.
[13:04] Saturday was trunk or treat and um,
pumpkin decorating. And Saturday night,
[13:11] he had like three bands coming in. And
that was October 23rd and 24th.
[13:17] » And who's up?
>> That was Cody Horn.
[13:21] » Cody who?
>> Horn. H O R N. Um we did have Lewis
[13:27] Clever with KOI, but he called
um a week or two ago and cancelled. He
[13:35] was supposed to be November 5th, 6th,
and 7th, and he canled. We had never
[13:40] received any money from him. Uh but he
called cancel and he says we found a
[13:45] place that's going to pay us to come to
them so we're going there.
[13:48] » Good idea. So Cody's October the 21st
23rd 24th.
[13:54] » Yeah.
>> And he's advertising camping and
[13:57] everything that weekend also. Yeah.
>> November 23rd 24th.
[14:04] » So
>> Halloween. So, actually Halloween
[14:07] weekend is open or if you wanted before
that October 17th, but yeah,
[14:15] Halloween weekend.
>> Would either one of those work?
[14:18] » Yeah, I can make it work as long as I
have time to tell everybody like, "Hey,
[14:22] come here this day."
>> This is just going to be a one day
[14:26] event. Correct. Yeah.
>> The 31st is Halloween. So,
[14:30] » I know. I was That's what I was
thinking, but then I don't know if like
[14:34] people are going to be like
interested in like going for a Halloween
[14:38] truck and car show because I know I
would be but I don't know what other
[14:41] people's brains are
>> we go to one and it is October 10th down
[14:49] in
>> so if you get flyers out I mean even
[14:53] take I mean
>> you can even take them down there
[14:56] » post around that's not that far but that
one's huge
[14:59] » yeah
there's one coming up in Greensburg too
[15:03] is
Patterson Nurseries the primary sponsor
[15:08] or the main sponsor for it.
>> I don't know. We just know that one and
[15:12] V because we go down there. It's that
Sleepy Hollow.
[15:16] » Yep.
>> Festival.
[15:19] » So, what do you guys think about the
fee?
[15:24] » I don't have no problem donating our
share.
[15:28] » Yeah.
[15:31] » I don't get a motion. might suggest
something first.
[15:35] » Yes, ma'am.
>> If uh if you do donate it, just list us
[15:39] as a sponsor.
>> Yeah, of course.
[15:40] » The Ripley County Party.
>> Yes. If you can do that.
[15:44] » Yeah.
>> You want I got a motion.
[15:48] » The only other thing is if they would
decide to come camp, we we be able to
[15:54] collect for the camping.
>> That that would be the only thing there.
[15:59] And I'm willing to make a motion we
donate the gr grounds there for the the
[16:05] car show and stuff.
>> Wave the $200 basically.
[16:07] » Yeah. Wave wave the $200 for the car
show and that and the camping would be
[16:14] extra if you have
>> that's what my thought was is when when
[16:18] I asked if it was a one day event like
well how many would anybody be
[16:23] interested in camping? But I guess if
you could advertise it like you know in
[16:27] your flyer like campsites available then
there's the potential that right
[16:31] » you know the park could you know make a
little bit on on a few campsites if
[16:37] somebody would do it but otherwise it's
yeah I don't
[16:41] » I don't see any issue with it.
>> Okay. So Charlie made a motion. Charlie
[16:46] made a motion
>> to wave the

>> 14th.
[19:16] » I thought I say 14th is what I thought
it was, but I didn't want to say. I've
[19:19] got it wrote down. I'm just not in this.
>> 14th is a Monday.
[19:22] » I figure if I show up 13th, I won't be
late. [laughter]
[19:25] » I probably should rate all going.
>> All right. Then we said what? 6:30.
[19:33] Is that what we said?
>> I think so.
[19:35] » I think so.
[19:45] September. Yeah. 6:30.
>> Okay.
[19:48] » I noticed on the bills here, Christie,
>> reimbursement for metal.
[19:54] » Okay. That is
that dates back to um
[20:01] » the boy running over the metal.
>> The Michael Shout that ran over the
[20:05] metal.
>> Mhm.
[20:06] uh that we were putting on building 10.
Uh we got $500 and we didn't get the
[20:12] rest of it. And they said, "Well, he's
got until he gets off probation,"
[20:16] because I called about it. "He's got
until he gets off probation to pay the
[20:19] rest of it." Well,
four months after all that happened, I'm
[20:27] you're reading about him on the internet
that he was the one smuggling drugs into
[20:31] Decar County Jail. So now he's sitting
in Decar County Jail.
[20:36] But somehow we finally got the rest of
our money. So that's what that was. The
[20:41] courts sent us a check and they
transferred it into our building
[20:46] maintenance fund and then I just wrote
best a check out of that.
[20:50] » Okay.
>> So that's
[20:53] just a transfer of money. I mean
>> it's not ours and not
[20:59] so it's just a Yeah. Go back to Dustin.
What's the maintenance mowers during
[21:05] fair week?
>> Um they maintenance the mowers uh blades
[21:10] um
uh had to do new tires
[21:16] um because uh the chamber had their
fireworks there and they sold um had to
[21:20] do new tires on one of them. They sold
sparklers
[21:25] » during the fireworks.
>> Yeah, I remember you saying that last
[21:27] week.
>> Well, the chamber didn't come back and
[21:30] clean up the next day and we cleaned up
the best we could. I mean, but in that
[21:34] grass and stuff, some of the sparklers
you didn't see and some of them got into
[21:38] the mower tires and they just demolished
it.
[21:41] » We tried patching it and it didn't
patch. So, they said, "You just need two
[21:44] new tires." So, we end up with two new
tires for the back of the
[21:50] » Yeah, the one mower.
That's
[21:56] the one of the next questions I've got.
Um,
[22:01] they asked about the stage next year for
the fireworks. Are we doing everything
[22:07] the same as what we did this year? I got
to looking. In the past, the chamber was
[22:12] charged for the fairgrounds in the past.
>> Okay.
[22:16] » Um,
the past few I mean, since I've been
[22:21] there, they have not been. I mean, they
paid for the stage, but that's it. But
[22:25] then that puts us, we're there working
all that day. Like this year we were
[22:29] supposed to be closed. The office was,
but we're working all that day. And then
[22:33] we're back in there the next morning
cleaning up.
[22:35] » You're doing What are you doing that
day?
[22:38] » Huh?
>> What are we doing?
[22:39] » Getting ready for it and helping the and
setting up and stuff like that.
[22:44] » Okay. But well, my question is if we're
renting the fairgrounds, why are we
[22:47] doing that?
>> They're not renting the fairgrounds.
[22:50] That's what I'm saying. They haven't
paid to rent it.
[22:54] So is that that we need to change or
should they do we need to go over with
[23:00] them?
Um, and we're there that night because
[23:06] if something happens, I mean, toilets or
anything else, I mean, the past we've
[23:12] cleaned up
vomit out in the walkway. Uh we fixed
[23:19] toilets that have been busted during the
the fireworks and and then the next day
[23:27] we're up there still picking up trash
and stuff from it. So
[23:32] they asked me about stage and I haven't
given them an answer yet.
[23:38] » Is it being held fair grounds? Well,
that's I did ask that and um Brandy said
[23:44] that she didn't know what I had heard,
but there was only two people, their
[23:49] president and her that are allowed to
speak on behalf of the chamber and as of
[23:53] right now, it is being held at the
fairgrounds.
[24:02] » Do we make do we make anything on that
event? Yeah.
[24:06] » No, we made nothing.
>> Yeah, I didn't know if there was
[24:08] » nothing. I didn't think so.
>> So, if they rented the whole
[24:13] fairgrounds, how much is it? Just 200 or
is it?
[24:16] » No, it's for a lot.
>> Huh?
[24:18] » That's just for the midway.
>> Just for the midway.
[24:29] » I mean, it's a service to the community,
>> right? Right. I guess. Yeah. Just But if
[24:33] we're
>> But it's
[24:36] » What did they pay in the past? You said
they rendered it in the past. What did
[24:39] they pay?
>> This was back. I'd have to look back.
[24:42] Um, but this was back uh Shauna had very
good records back then. So, I'm sure the
[24:49] fees were, but I've got the contract
with them in the office. I didn't bring
[24:55] that text that to you.
>> Yeah. I mean, I don't know yet,
[24:58] » but that's been how many years ago? I
mean,
[25:01] » true. Right.
>> Yeah. Right. And it's a ser Yeah. It's a
[25:06] service to the community. It's a great
turnout. A lot of people a lot of people
[25:10] are obviously there and it's not like I
guess it's not necessarily that the
[25:15] chambers not making money on it either.
But if
[25:22] if we're donating if we're donating
>> the chamber charges the vendors that the
[25:25] food vendors that come in pay got
>> $100 a pop and then they have commercial
[25:30] vendors that come in instead of
>> well if they're if they're then
[25:35] especially if we're cleaning if if
you're having to clean up then
[25:39] » yeah I was going to say how many people
do they have on the cha chamber I don't
[25:44] know that much about the cha chamber do
they have you know 50 people is on the
[25:48] chamber Or is it just a handful of
people or
[25:52] » It's quite a few businesses. I'm I'm on
it. So, but not on the board.
[25:56] » You're not on the board.
>> Yeah. But you It's just you're like a
[26:02] » you're the the businesses are on on and
>> so they just d sort of donate to the
[26:08] chamber
>> type thing.
[26:10] » You got to pay a fee every year.
>> Well, we're members of the the commerce.
[26:14] » Yeah. We're parts member of chamber of
commerce.
[26:22] Yeah, I don't know. So, it sounds like
it's something where the somebody from
[26:26] the chamber board probably
should be notified and that
[26:33] it's going to be a possibility and that
they need to come to a meeting so we can
[26:39] discuss it because yeah, if we're if if
there's a mess afterwards that we're
[26:43] cleaning up after and it's their event
and like it'd be one thing if again if
[26:49] they but if they're if they're making
some money off the vendors that are the
[26:52] food vendors and whatever else that are
there, then it makes sense to me that
[26:58] » Yeah.
>> Yeah.
[26:59] » If we're replacing If we're replacing uh
lawnmower tires and
[27:04] » Oh, that was expensive.
>> Yeah. Replacing lawn mower tires and
[27:08] having to clean clean up the ground. I
will say I did go $20 more per tire
[27:13] though because instead of like the
regular turf I had them put they put
[27:17] like the tractor tires on because we do
need
[27:21] » in some areas
>> that way you can get traction when it's
[27:24] wet.
>> Yeah.
[27:28] You know, the the big thing is I I can
say see where we we take care take care
[27:33] of the bathroom bathrooms and stuff, but
then they need to they want to bid it
[27:38] out, clean up trash, empty the trash
barrels and and do all that. I think,
[27:43] you know, if they want to bid it out and
do something like that, but pick pick up
[27:47] that end of it and that
>> is this something we got to make a
[27:53] decision on tonight?
Well, why don't we just add that to the
[27:58] meeting on the 14th?
>> Okay.
[28:01] » Don't you agree?
>> Yeah.
[28:03] » That's fine.
>> Yeah. Like said,
[28:12] » yeah, I mean,
I don't know how big of a mess there is
[28:17] afterwards. either that were or that you
when I say we I mean you Christie how
[28:25] much you're cleaning cleaning up
afterward. Well, it takes a while to
[28:28] clean out there with the fireworks were.
I mean, sometimes they have uh Joe Man
[28:32] and the probationary people do it, but
Joe's uh town, so he didn't. I mean, it
[28:39] was us. And
>> well, to me, if we're if we're putting
[28:42] the thing on, they should be cleaning at
least fireworks crap up
[28:48] » in my opinion.
>> Yeah.
[28:50] » Yeah.
everybody everybody else that uses the
[28:54] grounds.
>> Fortunately, they probably had Have they
[28:56] ever had it where it was really muddy
that they've run lucky enough not to
[29:00] tear up the yards and everything?
>> Oh, yeah. It's been
[29:04] » I mean, at least the 4 is that they they
fix the
[29:07] » right problems. I mean, but it's like
it's a big given,
[29:12] » right?
[29:16] » Okay.
Uh,
[29:19] EC Corp Electric Service,
electric shed 3500. What's that?
[29:24] » That's the finishing up of the uh the
electric update.
[29:29] » That's the different grants that I had.
I had to write a check
[29:34] to ecorp for this money out of this
grant because I had um rising sun, I had
[29:40] Reynolds, and I had another from County
Community Foundation to pay for that for
[29:45] the electric update. shed one.
>> Okay.
[29:48] » So, but I had to write a check to EC
Corp for this amount for this grant.
[29:52] Then I had to write another check for I
couldn't put all the grants together in
[29:56] one.
>> So, that's what that is for.
[30:08] » You got any question?
>> No.
[30:11] » I get a motion to pay the bills.
I'll make a motion. Got
[30:16] » a motion on the floor by Jake to pay the
bill. Second. I'll second.
[30:20] » Second by Charlie. All in favor signify
by saying I.
[30:23] » Anyone opposed? Same sign. Motion
carries.
[30:27] » Um I do have another question. Another
the um on my updates. Uh Steven
[30:36] Stapleton come in with the state police
and he's wanting to know if they could
[30:42] use the fairgrounds for one possibly two
days. It'll probably be in the evenings
[30:48] towards the night. they would shut the
fairgrounds down um and do a training
[30:54] with the local law enforcement like the
state police and he's wanting to get the
[30:58] towns and the sheriff's department and
do like stopstick and EVO
[31:05] training and stuff at the fairgrounds.
[31:12] He said there would be nothing tore up.
They might have a little bit of black
[31:16] marks on the pavement here and there,
but he says nothing would be
[31:26] » sort of a no-brainer. I'd say say
>> Yep.
[31:29] » Yeah. I'd say,
>> okay,
[31:31] » wave wave wave the fee fee and let them
>> right.
[31:34] » I told Well, it's at night, so and I
told them I would
[31:38] » Yep.
>> run it by you guys, but they'll because
[31:40] they're going to do um
scenarios where the suspect runs and
[31:47] they have like uh kind of like
paintballs
[31:51] at [laughter] them. I mean, it sounds
>> Can we come and watch?
[31:53] » I was going to say I kind of want to
join in.
[31:56] » I was say cuz they they they make
>> paintball mess.
[31:59] » I was make they ought to have a have a
fundraiser where you know like how like
[32:05] you you pay to have the pink flamingos
put in somebody's yard, but to get rid
[32:10] of them you got to pay again. We ought
to be ought to pay who to be the the uh
[32:14] the convict that's running. They raise
money that way.
[32:18] [laughter]
>> I just wondered if they had the dog
[32:22] attacking them.
>> Now, they've done that before. They've
[32:25] come up there before and done that and
they've asked I mean I went and helped
[32:29] them. Um, I [clears throat] even went to
the park, but where you run you run
[32:35] around and everything else and try and
hide and they said I wasn't and then
[32:40] they I go and hide somewhere and they
let the dog loose to try and find you. I
[32:45] mean, I was in a vehicle uh so it
couldn't get to me, but they said I
[32:49] didn't do good enough. And uh well, it
was Joe Man who wasn't. He goes, "You
[32:54] got to do it like this." And he down ran
around. He was on top of the shoulders
[32:57] and everything else. I'm like, there
ain't no way I can climb up on top of a
[33:01] shelder. I mean, but I mean, he was up
there and stuff. And I mean, the dog,
[33:05] you know, went
>> sniffed him out
[33:07] » and sniffed up, you know, and the pole
and I mean, it was neat to watch. But,
[33:12] um, I don't know if they're doing that
kind of trip with the dogs or anything
[33:16] or
>> maybe they need to stay off a roof
[33:18] because I think that's some of the
damage we end up with.
[33:20] » Oh, this was at the park.
>> Well, I mean, somebody been on the roof.
[33:24] » This was Yeah, this was at the park. I
mean the the Gale State Park on their
[33:29] seller houses.
>> We found a new hole in the commercial
[33:31] building.
>> Yeah, I do. I have a hole in the roof of
[33:35] the commercial building.
>> It's a hole
[33:37] » in the roof.

[34:14] make a motion or
>> I'll make a motion.
[34:16] » Got a motion that we're going to
>> we wave our fee. We wave the fee for the
[34:20] state police and local police to do the
training on the fair grounds by Charlie.
[34:24] » I'll second it.
>> Second by Jake. All in favor signify by
[34:28] saying I.
>> I.
[34:29] » Anyone oppose? Motion carries.
[34:35] Playground equipment.
Um, I have received a couple emails
[34:43] from a
young lady um about the playground
[34:49] equipment and she is wanting uh records
of maintenance and safety inspections
[34:58] and and everything. Um,
I have, and this is in July before I
[35:04] ever received this,
contacted the company that we got the
[35:09] playground equipment from,
and
[35:13] um
to get a couple pieces to see what it
[35:17] was to replace a couple pieces that are
busted, like the um one of the transfer
[35:24] platforms.
and it was almost $1,400 for a transfer
[35:30] platform. 1300. Um, I end up having
Michael Flint made one and put it on for
[35:37] me. Um,
he hasn't dropped off a bill, but he
[35:42] said he charged $50 labor, but he got
the the parts and welded it and
[35:47] everything else and went and welded it
on. There's a couple other things on
[35:51] there that I mean have are fixed, but I
didn't know um
[35:58] if we want to look and we can look at
this when we go September 14th um to try
[36:04] and get ideas about moving equipment up
to the front. I do know the merry ground
[36:10] in the back
>> is shot.
[36:13] » Well, there's a bearing out or
something, but I need help. I can't get
[36:17] » right.
>> I've got the bolts that I can get out,
[36:20] but I need somebody to cut there's a
couple bolts I can't get out to get that
[36:24] top off cuz I've been told that the
bearing is down in underneath that and I
[36:31] can't even get to it and I don't have
anything to cut
[36:36] those bolts off.
I've even stuck my son I stuck my son
[36:42] under the mic that had him hold the the
nut while I tried to get the bolt the
[36:49] top of the bolt off. I'm can't break it
loose.
[36:52] » Okay.
>> So,
[36:54] » do we still we don't still got Rick as
our maintenance person in?
[36:59] » Yes.
>> Look at that.
[37:02] » Um he he's looked at several of the
things back there. I mean several
[37:07] things. I mean, we've got fixed, but the
merground, it's going to be a couple
[37:13] people job.
[37:17] » Okay.
[37:20] » Okay.
>> I was going to say I mean, but as far as
[37:23] the email you received goes though, it's
they're just
[37:28] basically wanting to see that things are
fixed.
[37:30] » But one of the comments on the email was
the slide was hot. Yeah,
[37:36] » metal slides.
>> Okay.
[37:38] » So,
>> all right.
[37:40] » Well, well, I mean, I I understand part
of the
[37:42] » Yeah. Yeah. There if there's things that
are broken, they they need to be they
[37:45] need to be fixed. Absolutely.
>> There's
[37:47] » parts of the email,
>> but some of it, like I say, I had
[37:50] already contacted the company and was on
it, but
[37:54] » you know, they don't
call to get that. They just blasted on
[37:58] » Yeah. I mean, yeah, I guess. Yeah,
that's
[38:01] » I was going to say, how old's that
playground equipment?
[38:08] » 20 years, maybe.
>> I'd say at least
[38:11] » 25.
>> I'd say 25.
[38:15] I don't know, but I I would say 25.
[38:20] » Yeah, I can stand there a good while.
>> Yeah, if it's
[38:24] » So, where are you thinking about moving?
You said move it up front. What are you
[38:28] thinking about that sideyard or what?
>> That yard. That side yard
[38:32] » outside the park office.
>> Yeah.
[38:36] » Yeah.
>> Be more monitored
[38:39] instead of back there where
>> move that up there and take it out of
[38:42] the back and then that way we don't have
back here. Well, if you moved it out of
[38:47] there or if you moved up front
and you had that back, I would cut that
[38:54] back off but still leave that fence
there, you know, divide it off or
[38:59] whatever and make that the dog park
>> where people could go in there and let
[39:03] their dogs run because I've got that
complaint a lot too that
[39:07] » Yeah. Yeah. That's
>> if they come up there to the
[39:10] fairgrounds, they have to have them on
leash and they can't let them just run.
[39:15] So, I've had one lady who tied 12
leashes together and had the dog running
[39:21] on 12 leashes.
>> No joke.
[39:24] » I mean, yeah. I mean, I think I
>> So,
[39:27] » if it's doable, that's a good idea
>> since you've already got the fence and
[39:31] everything back there. Just
>> Yes.
[39:33] » Leave the
[39:36] » kill two birds with one stone.
>> And we made a motion to pay the bill.
[39:42] Have you got anything else? Sorry. We've
made a motion to pay the bills already.
[39:44] We already done that.
>> Did you have anything else for here?
[39:53] » No.
>> Yeah, I think so.
[39:57] » Okay.
>> Um
[40:01] upcoming events
[40:14] 25th office is closed because of uh
pumpkin show.
[40:19] » Yep.
>> All offices are closed.

>> 14th be a board meeting.
[40:46] » 14th is board meeting and, um, then like
I say, 23rd, 24th is the Halloween. Um,

everything else there in the parking
[40:56] lot. So,
>> okay.
[40:59] Um, one thing I forgot to bring up. You
did say the
[41:05] the date of the [sighs]
Christmas festivity
[41:11] here in Versailles. You had already had
plans for the ice skating ring, right?
[41:16] Okay. Because Doug Grump contacted me
again by text and I told him that we
[41:23] already had a event scheduled where it
would be being used. So,
[41:28] And I even asked him, I said, "Do you
have a way of calling it?" And he said,
[41:31] "No."
>> Yeah.
[41:33] » I mean, as far as the boards or the
shoes or anything, I mean,
[41:38] » yep.
>> That's fine.
[41:41] » It's being used. It's being used. That's
simple.

[41:51] A motion to adjurnn.
>> I'll make a motion to adjurnn.
[41:53] » Got a motion by Charlie to adjurnn.
