00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:16,720
this office, uh in institutional
knowledge and experience is is pretty

96
00:07:14,639 --> 00:07:21,199
irreplaceable. It take a long time. So,

00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:49,840
don't ask you to poke him. Say come

102
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:53,840
» Okay. Uh did the notaries. Next is a
hearing of delegation. So if you want to

103
00:07:51,919 --> 00:07:59,280
address the county commission, please
come on up. It must must be remain to of

104
00:07:55,680 --> 00:08:03,240

105
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:07,380
[clears throat]

106
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:15,199
thank you sir for the opportunity. So my
name again is Brad Taylor. Um, I was

107
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:21,039
here a little over about 3 weeks ago in
the budget committee met uh as far as

108
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:26,560
giving out uh donations to organizations
within the Rome County. Um, our shoes

109
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:31,919
for soul was very fortunate to receive a
$5,000 donation. [clears throat] And so

110
00:08:29,039 --> 00:08:38,719
we took that one week later and went to
Walmart in Rockwood and we were able to

111
00:08:34,399 --> 00:08:41,719
give out 726 pairs of children's shoes.

112
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:44,060
» [applause]

113
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:50,000
» I JUST WANTED YOU TO know from the
bottom of my heart how much we

114
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:55,360
appreciate that. But I also wanted you
to know that your money, your $5,000

115
00:08:52,480 --> 00:09:00,560
immediately went into the community to
aid and assist children were less

116
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:04,000
fortunate that put a backpack filled
with school supplies on their backs. And

117
00:09:02,560 --> 00:09:07,760
it couldn't have been done without the
cooperation and the support of the

118
00:09:05,519 --> 00:09:12,560
county government. Uh we have one of
your own, Jennifer Hazw came down and

119
00:09:09,839 --> 00:09:18,160
donated her entire day and worked with
us. So she can tell you firsthand what

120
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:21,279
the look is in those children's eyes
whenever you're able to give them

121
00:09:19,519 --> 00:09:24,800
something that they didn't think they
would ever get to be able to start this

122
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:28,240
school year. So again, thank you very
much for what you do.

123
00:09:25,680 --> 00:09:30,720
» Brad, will you tell how that foundation
was started real quick? How you started

124
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:36,560
that?
>> Yes, sir. So my brother Allan um seven

125
00:09:33,839 --> 00:09:41,760
years ago was diagnosed with pancreatic
and stage four liver cancer. Um so

126
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:46,880
instead of sitting around the last six
months of his life saying poor biblical

127
00:09:43,680 --> 00:09:52,640
D, he had us as a family get together
and we focused on him, developed a 501c3

128
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:57,680
organization, Shoes for Souls. Um, we
just with this last August 1st, we just

129
00:09:55,360 --> 00:10:01,920
passed 30,000 shoe pairs of shoes that
we handed out in Rome County and over

130
00:09:59,680 --> 00:10:08,240
15,000 backpacks to school age children
here in Rome County. So, um, you know,

131
00:10:04,560 --> 00:10:14,959
we we do it for three, we do it for
three reasons. Number one, we honor God

132
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:17,680
because without God, none of us
>> Number [clears throat] two, we honor my

133
00:10:16,079 --> 00:10:22,880
brother. Number three, we honor the
county that we live in because these

134
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:26,240
kids in this county whether they're and
you know the beautiful thing about my

135
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:29,360
brother is he said don't ever judge son.
He said when a child comes up there you

136
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:32,720
put a pair of shoes on. It doesn't
matter whether mom and daddy look like

137
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:38,320
they can afford them or not. You know
and the the the selfishness of that act

138
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:44,079
alone where every child looks the same.
They all look the same in God's eyes. So

139
00:10:40,560 --> 00:10:48,079
u we're uh we're humbled. We're blessed
beyond measure. will be at Walmart in

140
00:10:46,492 --> 00:10:53,120
[clears throat] December partnering with
Operation Reach to do shoes uh and other

141
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:56,972
items in December.
>> It's awesome.

142
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:58,992
» Thank you for sharing it, SIR.
[applause]

143
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:09,000
» All right. Next.
>> Anyone else want to address the county

144
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:09,000
commission?

145
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:17,920
» Mike Parkerson, 222 Hawk Trail,
Kingston, Tennessee. Um, I'm here

146
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:23,519
tonight to talk about what I was told
would be on the the agenda, a resolution

147
00:11:20,959 --> 00:11:30,079
to uh
run a pilot program for the high density

148
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:37,600
housing here in Rome County as and then
the pilot being in lie of taxes, payment

149
00:11:33,680 --> 00:11:43,760
in le of taxes. Um, concern I've got is
I've got several concerns with it. one.

150
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:48,000
This should be addressed more openly,
more transparently, I think, with the

151
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:52,600
the citizens of the county and rather
show up as a item on the budget.

152
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:57,720
Sorry.
And

153
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:04,240
so, so I think that it should be
addressed more openly with the people in

154
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:09,200
the county so we know what's going on
about it. I think that if there are

155
00:12:07,279 --> 00:12:13,519
taxes available to be given back, they
should be given back to the citizens who

156
00:12:10,639 --> 00:12:18,800
have paid those taxes. So, if we want to
do that, u you know, I think that that

157
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:22,959
the growth in the county is good. I
think that the county government is not

158
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:27,200
responsible to provide housing for all
the people who have jobs in the county.

159
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:33,120
And so, I think we need to be careful
where we step or we may overstep.

160
00:12:30,639 --> 00:12:37,040
Um, you know, it's I don't believe it's
been brought to the budget committee.

161
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:41,360
Um, I don't believe it's brought been
brought to the planning commission for

162
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:44,639
for any kind of input on and I don't
believe it's been brought to the public

163
00:12:42,560 --> 00:12:49,760
in general. So, so I think those are
things that we need to to address when

164
00:12:46,639 --> 00:12:56,240
we're looking at this. Uh, it is a a
matter that's of pretty significant

165
00:12:52,720 --> 00:13:00,639
impact to the county because it does
reduce the tax base that we have at

166
00:12:58,079 --> 00:13:04,880
least for a few years. And I don't think
that we need to be encouraging that kind

167
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:08,639
of growth, the high density, lower
middle income growth in the county

168
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:14,920
necessarily. So that's all I've got to
say at this time. Thanks.

169
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:14,920
» Thanks, sir. All right. Next.

170
00:13:15,680 --> 00:13:26,240
» All right. Anyone else?
>> Hi there. Family 137 Elbertton Road. Um,

171
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:31,120
I just spoke briefly last time about the
clock cameras, and I was hoping that by

172
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:36,240
now some people maybe have looked more
into advanced license plate readers and

173
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:39,680
their capabilities beyond just reading
license plates such as facial

174
00:13:37,839 --> 00:13:45,839
recognition, connecting to your Wi-Fi on
your phone, other things that they can

175
00:13:42,079 --> 00:13:50,240
do. And um, I I know that we can't make
big moves all of a sudden or all at

176
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:54,800
once, nor do we want to necessarily, but
the one that concerns me the most is the

177
00:13:52,079 --> 00:13:58,480
one that is of ours. I don't understand
why there's one camera there in front of

178
00:13:56,959 --> 00:14:02,720
that school when there isn't any in
front of any others. There's children

179
00:14:00,639 --> 00:14:06,269
there. Those cameras can be hacked into.
They can be spun around and looked at

180
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:10,399
the playground. Those children deserve
[clears throat] to be out playing and

181
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:15,839
not have some weirdo from the internet
zoom in and look on them and turn them

182
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:19,199
into AI pornography. So, just I
unfortunately left my phone at my

183
00:14:17,519 --> 00:14:23,279
parents house, so I don't have all my
good notes for you, but I will come

184
00:14:20,959 --> 00:14:26,399
prepared next time. And um I just hope
that we can continue to have a

185
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:30,240
conversation about the dangers of these
things that they cause. Yes, they have

186
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:33,279
some safety [clears throat] things. Yes,
if you're not doing anything wrong, you

187
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:37,120
shouldn't have anything to worry about.
But laws change every day. And something

188
00:14:35,519 --> 00:14:42,800
that could be right today could be wrong
tomorrow. And there just comes a point

189
00:14:39,839 --> 00:14:48,480
where too much is too much. My granddad
was born in 1917 and my dad was born in

190
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:52,800
1939 and my brothers and sisters were
born around 1985.

191
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:59,199
I was born in 1983 and I feel like I
woke up in 26 in 2026 in George Orwell's

192
00:14:56,399 --> 00:15:04,720
1984 novel and there's just cameras
everywhere and I just worry about the

193
00:15:02,079 --> 00:15:08,079
children who are in kindergarten, first,
fifth, sixth, seventh grade. They don't

194
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:12,399
have a voice. They can't be here to tell
you that they don't want this. And we

195
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:16,320
need to use our discernment and our
education to be reviewing these things

196
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:19,920
and make sure that we're protecting
those kids who can't be here or their

197
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:23,360
parents can't be here because they're
taking care of their kids. So if we

198
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:25,279
could just work together and look more
into that, I'd really appreciate it.

199
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:31,440
Thank you.
>> Thank you, Mr. Chair. Recognize

200
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:36,320
Commissioner Goss. Can I ask Director
SC question

201
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:42,560
» who who actually owns that one there at
the school? We uh we are working with

202
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:46,800
our partners in law enforcement. It's a
block camera system. I think we've done

203
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:51,839
three of them through a grant three of
theirs and all to my knowledge all it

204
00:15:49,759 --> 00:15:57,120
reads as license plate images only.
There's no broad view. It recognizes the

205
00:15:54,880 --> 00:16:03,440
shape and the numbers of license plate
and then it dings uh Captain Cook. If

206
00:16:00,959 --> 00:16:07,680
someone a sexual predator happens to
cross in front of that camera, he gets

207
00:16:05,199 --> 00:16:13,759
notification. But no, No one in our
office has any any ability. I have zero

208
00:16:10,959 --> 00:16:19,199
access to any images any footage but I
think it just scans the rectangular

209
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:22,480
image and numbers this way I understand.
So

210
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:26,800
» it's not it's not some outside company
or some other

211
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:29,120
» it's the it is the block system. I don't
know where they're based and it's

212
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:32,480
something that
>> is that a private

213
00:16:31,681 --> 00:16:36,880
[clears throat]
>> app.

214
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:40,480
» We did get a packet on the clock cameras
late this afternoon. We have it here.

215
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:44,800
I've not had a chance to read it or
digest it.

216
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:50,160
» Have you Yeah, speak to it.
>> Yeah. So, u

217
00:16:47,519 --> 00:16:54,800
obviously everybody's seen the attention
that Flock cameras been getting

218
00:16:51,600 --> 00:17:00,480
nationwide. Um so it's part several
discussions u in our office with uh the

219
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:06,720
district attorney general Russell
Johnson who's here uh both chief

220
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:13,839
deputies chief chief or sheriff elect
Phillips who's here um to talk about

221
00:17:10,319 --> 00:17:18,640
what we're doing locally um and to have
a framework of accountability uh to

222
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:24,000
assure that our public that a lot of the
things a lot of the fears that are are

223
00:17:21,439 --> 00:17:28,160
out there that are addressed and I don't
want to speak on their behalf. So I

224
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:32,720
don't know if now is the time to open it
up. We do that during my report.

225
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:37,760
Chairman, what would you prefer? Because
we came ready to answer any u we can do

226
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:41,600
it now. Does anyone First off, anyone
from the public want to speak? Anyone

227
00:17:39,360 --> 00:17:47,440
else from the public want to speak?
Because I was thinking that'd be a ton

228
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:54,320
of people here for Go. Come on, sir.
>> Um I'm Scott. Um, I live at 169 Newport

229
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:59,919
Lane in Kingston. I'm a black phone
resident of Kingston and Rome County.

230
00:17:57,120 --> 00:18:06,559
Um, I also serve this county as a match
straight. Um, and I see the benefits of

231
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:11,600
FA cameras that are tracking down our
criminals. Um, I'm here to speak on

232
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:16,480
behalf of myself and my personal
experience with my mother um who was

233
00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:21,440
diagnosed with uh Alzheimer's and
dementia. [clears throat]

234
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:28,400
And four years ago uh we found my mom's
car missing my mother and I want to

235
00:18:24,559 --> 00:18:32,559
thank uh Rome County EM 911 dispatch
Kingston Police Rome County Sheriff's

236
00:18:30,799 --> 00:18:38,240
Office. Numerous times have looked for
my mother and found her safe every time.

237
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:44,000
She was uh a flock camera was used. They
caught a flock. Um they got hit at 6:00

238
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:48,640
a.m. in the morning. She was leaving Lab
County entering Blunt County. We've been

239
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:54,480
searching for 4 hours in Rome County.
That shifted our search. Um 2 hours

240
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:59,600
later, a park ranger Kate Cove National
Park uh contacted me and said, "Uh do

241
00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:05,120
you know Miss Barbara Gwyn?" I said,
"Yes, sir." And he said, "Um we have her

242
00:19:02,559 --> 00:19:11,360
safe right here in the park." And uh I
credit the f cameras for uh helping. Now

243
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:16,400
didn't necessarily crack the case, but
she was found safe and uh grateful

244
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:21,919
grateful for a family from Michigan that
that saw her wander in the park and uh

245
00:19:19,120 --> 00:19:27,840
helped her out. So that's a positive uh
aspect. Uh anybody that knows that sees

246
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:32,400
the news recently, a gentleman played
this this county was picked up in

247
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:37,280
Georgia by flock cameras. she was
getting on a bus and he was a bad

248
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:42,960
criminal. Did some horrible things to
some uh juveniles. So, um I see the

249
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:47,600
good, the bad, and the ugly in this
county. And I want to thank the

250
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:51,679
commission for entrusting me and my
colleague to uh provide a service to

251
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:56,640
this county that a lot of people don't
know exists. Uh, and I'm grateful for

252
00:19:55,200 --> 00:20:02,880
the opportunity and I thank each and
every one of you for entrusting me and

253
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:08,480
uh, freedom as a master service gray
county we live in. Thank you.

254
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:13,679
» All right. Anyone else?
>> All right. Go ahead.

255
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:20,400
» Yeah. So, you all each received a packet
says on security fact safety security

256
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:26,640
claims and facts. Chief Han has been in
contact with uh the flock our his flock

257
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:32,640
representative that and they emailed
this to us 3:30 4:00 this afternoon

258
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:35,919
something like that. Um so that's why
the reason I'm getting it on your desk

259
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:41,919
and we want to get to you as quick as
possible. Um but we do have if there are

260
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:46,400
any questions anything discussion we do
have uh officials here who can answer

261
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:50,880
questions about how we handle flock
locally. Um, [clears throat]

262
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:53,840
but I do I do appreciate the
conversation. I think there's a need for

263
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:58,640
it and I think there's a an
understanding that the public needs to

264
00:20:55,360 --> 00:21:03,280
have about the accountability measures
that our law enforcement officials have

265
00:21:00,559 --> 00:21:07,360
taken to ensure that there's no misuse
or abuse of information on these

266
00:21:05,679 --> 00:21:11,760
cameras. But I'm going to leave it at
that because I can't speak really past

267
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:15,600
that. Mr. Chairman,
>> chair, vice,

268
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:21,120
» I think we hit it on the head. I think
we've all seen firsthand

269
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:24,960
um the good side of these cameras. And
actually, I'm probably not any different

270
00:21:23,360 --> 00:21:29,760
than most of you. I I didn't realize we
had as many slot cameras in in the

271
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:34,799
county as we did until until some of
this stuff started. I think we have one

272
00:21:31,039 --> 00:21:38,320
at Green View Elementary as as well. Uh
but we've seen firsthand what they can

273
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:40,559
do. I mean, uh here in our own
courthouse and here in our own

274
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:45,440
community. [clears throat]
I I guess the thing that I would like to

275
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:49,840
see us have is It says here these
cameras can use facial recognition. No,

276
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:55,440
Flock does not utilize facial
recognition technology. So I I guess

277
00:21:54,000 --> 00:22:00,799
what I would like to make sure that we
do is is is understand exactly

278
00:21:58,559 --> 00:22:05,120
what the flot cameras in our county can
do now

279
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:07,760
so that when when they do change it and
it's going to change the technology is

280
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:13,520
going to be there that they can do
facial just so that we can make sure the

281
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:18,000
public understands what we have in our
county in terms of these cameras. Uh

282
00:22:15,919 --> 00:22:21,919
there's no no doubt that they're usual,
but if they if they're doing something

283
00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:26,720
beyond what what we're thinking they're
doing, then I think this body needs to

284
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:32,320
needs to be able to come back and and
say yes, we we we will we will approve

285
00:22:29,120 --> 00:22:36,480
this. I think we just have to be careful
of how we do it and how we proceed. I

286
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:43,200
don't want to do anything to enter
police, sheriff, uh schools, but but at

287
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:49,280
the same time, I think there's a fine
line there that that we never that we're

288
00:22:45,679 --> 00:22:53,440
using privacy to to to invade folks
privacy. So, I I would just cautious

289
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:57,039
have us be cautioned about how we do it,
but but let's let's let's keep in touch

290
00:22:55,440 --> 00:23:02,240
with all of our all of our proper
authorities to make sure that we know

291
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:05,760
what those cameras are are are doing and
they're not I I would have thought they

292
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:10,159
would have been capable of doing facial
recognition as we speak, but if they

293
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:14,000
can't, then that that's fine. We know
know that they can't. So that that would

294
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:18,400
just be I would just ask us to be
cautious.

295
00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:23,280
» All right. Anyone else?
Chair Commissioner G.

296
00:23:20,159 --> 00:23:28,720
» So it says here it says block does not
sell customer data to third parties. Is

297
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:32,159
the only data collected for the tag
unless the tag is not visible. Then it

298
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:36,480
looks scans the car and tries to
determine what what type make and model

299
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:40,720
the car. Correct. If somebody
>> it's taking a picture of the rear of the

300
00:23:38,559 --> 00:23:44,320
vehicle. So, it's taking a picture of
the tag and from the rear of the

301
00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:49,360
vehicle, it it can tell, you know, what
color it is and similar makes and

302
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:52,000
models. That's that's all that it
captures.

303
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:55,280
» That's that's the only gap.
>> So, it's it's going away from you. So,

304
00:23:53,679 --> 00:24:00,880
there's no way when you were looking at
this this photo of the rear of the car,

305
00:23:57,919 --> 00:24:05,919
there's no way to see the occupants. And
um I've not seen one where it shows any

306
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:09,679
occupants that's visible because you're
looking at a movie big, but it's taking

307
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:13,840
a still image. So,
>> who is the customer?

308
00:24:12,159 --> 00:24:17,039
» Who would be the customer for Rome
County?

309
00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:21,600
» We are the Rome County Sheriff's Office.
>> Does the Kingston City and Harman City

310
00:24:19,039 --> 00:24:24,720
Police also utilize Are they part of the
same customer?

311
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:28,400
» They do. And and if you have a
cooperative agreement with the local

312
00:24:27,120 --> 00:24:33,200
cities, whether it be Kingston,
Harington, Rockland, because everybody

313
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:38,080
in this county participates
uh in in that agreement that we can um

314
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:41,640
allow them to look at our cameras, we
can look at their cameras.

315
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:47,279
» Anything else, Mr.
>> No, that's it. Sorry.

316
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:53,279
» All right.
Commissioner Anderson Sheriff, uh, don't

317
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:56,640
the red light cameras capture more than
that camera? Is that right?

318
00:24:55,200 --> 00:25:01,679
» You know, I'm under the impression that
red light cameras capture about the same

319
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:07,120
thing that a flock camera does. You
know, it's capturing that back of the

320
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:13,320
license plate and in in the vehicle. But
as far as I don't have any real

321
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:13,320
experience with the

322
00:25:13,919 --> 00:25:19,360
» Yeah. So, they're telling me there's two
cameras. There's one taking one from the

323
00:25:17,679 --> 00:25:22,559
front, one taken, one from the back. So
that's going to be totally different.

324
00:25:20,559 --> 00:25:28,240
Flocks just from the back. We're not
going to be able to see if there's uh

325
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:34,039
loose drive. Thank you, sir.
>> All right. Anything else?

326
00:25:31,039 --> 00:25:34,039
» Question.

327
00:25:35,279 --> 00:25:44,799
What about the security of cameras? He
moving to people being able to maybe

328
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:48,960
hack into his system. have security
interpretations

329
00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:52,080
for bird
>> and I know

330
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:56,480
» so so in the literature it it addresses
that the security features are built in

331
00:25:54,000 --> 00:26:01,120
there. It's not a a camera that pans and
zooms and all that. It's taken steel

332
00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:07,039
photos and and you know the c the data
is captured and housed within it's

333
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:12,559
encrypted uh and it's it's stored in the
cloud essentially and then every 30 days

334
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:17,200
that uh gets overwritten and and so if
you go you can't go past 30 days to

335
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:23,799
retrieve any of that data.
>> But all we're looking at is is the last

336
00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:23,799
play in the back of the

337
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:33,919
» I guess uh Mr. If you I I assume we sign
a contract with flock for for our

338
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:36,400
cameras on a monthly monthly basis or
something.

339
00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:40,240
» So it's it's a yearly basis.
>> So So the contract that we signed if we

340
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:45,279
sign it knowing that all they're doing
is is what's in [clears throat] this

341
00:26:43,279 --> 00:26:49,919
that's what we're obligated to have them
do. Right. Anything they do other than

342
00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:54,240
that then then we would have we would
have option to go back.

343
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:58,640
» I don't know. I don't know that I've
seen the contract.

344
00:26:57,279 --> 00:27:02,960
» I I don't know the answer,
>> but we we every each entity signs a

345
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:04,960
contract. You signed one city of Marvin
Kingston.

346
00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:10,000
» I don't have the authority to sign
contracts. Um the purchasing agent or

347
00:27:08,159 --> 00:27:14,880
the mayor have the authority to sign
contract.

348
00:27:11,279 --> 00:27:18,320
» So I purchased a would would go through
legal to on our contract something like

349
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:23,760
this.
>> We don't have a legal we don't have a a

350
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:28,000
written contract. the contract for the
purchase order.

351
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:31,760
» So, we don't have a contract
establishing any any type of

352
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:36,559
information.
>> It's basically a subscription.

353
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:40,480
» It's an agree it's an agreement.
>> It's it's a subscription,

354
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:43,840
» a subscription that allows them to
access the network.

355
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:46,880
» Okay. So, so we're doing that on an
annual basis and there's money already

356
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:49,840
in the budget for this year, right?
That's correct.

357
00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:52,640
Thank you, Mr. Chair.
>> All right.

358
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:57,279
I know we could probably talk on this
all night. Any anything else on block

359
00:27:54,799 --> 00:28:01,039
cameras? And I'm sure we'll have more
discussions [clears throat] in the

360
00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:07,720
future on this uh as more information
comes available. All right. Anyone else

361
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:07,720
want to address the county commission?

362
00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:12,559
All right. Hearing none, seeing none,
we'll move to the county attorney.

363
00:28:10,574 --> 00:28:16,720
[clears throat]
Uh if you please, the chairman, I'd like

364
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:23,679
to take you in executive session at this
time to discuss the uh coffee machine

365
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:28,799
contract with Novate and the letter that
we received which is attached to uh

366
00:28:27,039 --> 00:28:33,760
82607.
All right, this time we'll move into

367
00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:38,159
executive session.
Watch what they're saying.

368
00:28:36,159 --> 00:28:43,324
» Yeah. Hey,
our camera and our sound is still on, so

369
00:28:40,799 --> 00:28:45,344
watch what you say while we're out.

373
00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:53,679
» What do you think?

374
00:30:00,615 --> 00:30:02,635
» [clears throat]

375
00:30:11,679 --> 00:30:14,679
» Congratulations.

376
00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:42,279
All right.

377

didn't
really

397
00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:27,760

that.

402
00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:38,520
pretty good job. I probably did a better
job than I'll take care of them. I only

403
00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:38,520
take care of them as much as I can.

>> All

415
00:42:33,874 --> 00:42:35,894
» [clears throat]

416
00:42:40,319 --> 00:42:45,760
» right, let's go and get back in order
here.

417
00:42:44,319 --> 00:42:48,960
County attorney's report. Do you have
anything else to report, sir?

418
00:42:46,960 --> 00:42:51,760
» No, Mr. Chairman. All right. Well, at
this time, we'll move to the county

419
00:42:50,319 --> 00:42:56,079
executives report.
>> Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Um, first of

420
00:42:53,680 --> 00:43:01,920
all, this will be from now on we're
going to start this um process, but

421
00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:06,760
Justin Snow will report during my time.
So, I'll yield my time to snow.

422
00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:15,760
Thank you. I'll be brief. Everybody has
a copy of the July Rome lights recap and

423
00:43:14,319 --> 00:43:18,480
I'm going to hit a few high points. I
want to talk a little bit about some of

424
00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:22,880
the grants that we've been going after
the past few months. Uh, and of course,

425
00:43:20,880 --> 00:43:28,000
last month, Ron Lunch, in a partnership
with Ron County IVB, we pursued a $4

426
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:33,119
million grant uh with the state of
Tennessee, we were awarded that grant.

427
00:43:30,640 --> 00:43:38,160
Uh, this is to purchase approximately
$120 acres adjacent to the Rome Regional

428
00:43:36,400 --> 00:43:41,119
Business and Technology Point. I do want
to point [clears throat] out the fact

429
00:43:39,280 --> 00:43:45,520
that there was $13 million in that
bucket. Rome County got a third of it.

430
00:43:42,880 --> 00:43:50,000
So, I think that shows the importance of
everything that's going on here in the

431
00:43:47,280 --> 00:43:54,960
county. Uh furthermore, uh the Rome
Alliance in a partnership with the Rome

432
00:43:52,560 --> 00:43:59,440
County IDB, we went after some TVA and
best prep grant funding. Uh we were

433
00:43:57,520 --> 00:44:03,920
fully awarded for that grant funding as
well. So we went after nearly $5 million

434
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:09,040
of grant funding and and Rome County got
fully funded. So um we started we opened

435
00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:14,800
up the gates this morning to start our
due diligence environmental work so we

436
00:44:11,680 --> 00:44:19,760
could get to the closing table. Um,
other than that, I'll just say that last

437
00:44:16,800 --> 00:44:24,880
Tuesday we had our national night out,
the fourth annual that we've done. And,

438
00:44:22,960 --> 00:44:29,119
uh, it's just a great opportunity for
the community to come out and spend time

439
00:44:26,400 --> 00:44:34,000
with our cities, elected officials, our
law enforcement first and our first

440
00:44:31,040 --> 00:44:38,079
responders. This was our most attended
national night out. Uh, and we actually

441
00:44:36,360 --> 00:44:41,839
[clears throat] s we don't sell food, we
give food away, but we run out of food

442
00:44:39,599 --> 00:44:45,760
this year. So, that was a it was a great
event. So, uh, lot good things going on

443
00:44:44,560 --> 00:44:49,520
in the county, a lot of good things
going on through the lines. Please take

444
00:44:47,520 --> 00:44:53,920
time to read the recap show the full
scope of work that our folks that our

445
00:44:51,599 --> 00:44:56,880
team focuses on each and every day. Uh,
that concludes my report. I'd be more

446
00:44:55,599 --> 00:45:00,359
than glad to answer any questions that
y'all might ask.

447
00:45:00,480 --> 00:45:06,880
» All right. Thank you, sir.
>> Mr. Chairman, just a couple things real

448
00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:12,000
quickly to uh, as always, if you all
refer to the rundown. Couple points I'd

449
00:45:09,200 --> 00:45:18,079
like to point out specific to you guys.
is uh first of all, please save the

450
00:45:13,920 --> 00:45:22,240
date. Uh August 21st at 10:00 a.m. in
the criminal courtroom will be the

451
00:45:19,920 --> 00:45:27,680
swearing in ceremony for all elect
recently elected officials. That's all

452
00:45:25,040 --> 00:45:30,720
of us. So, and I know there'll probably
be a few who may not be able to make it

453
00:45:29,200 --> 00:45:35,599
to that particular time and we can
obviously find times outside. That just

454
00:45:33,520 --> 00:45:39,200
happens scheduling wise. Not everybody's
gonna be able to make it, but please

455
00:45:37,599 --> 00:45:47,359
make sure we do that before September
1st, uh, which is when you officially

456
00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:50,880
take office. Secondly, u, and find
anybody that that's qualified to swear

457
00:45:49,520 --> 00:45:54,880
you in.
>> Yes. Well, that's your preference on who

458
00:45:52,560 --> 00:45:58,640
you want to swear in. Um, I'll be
available there. I've got to get sworn

459
00:45:56,480 --> 00:46:03,680
in myself, but I'll be available there
if anybody wants to use me. you know,

460
00:46:00,960 --> 00:46:09,599
jud the judges have always typically
made themselves available. Um, but yeah,

461
00:46:06,240 --> 00:46:13,280
any any officer just reach out to them,
you know, whoever you want to use, we

462
00:46:11,520 --> 00:46:17,680
can do that, we'll accommodate. So,
we'll be there with all the oaths and

463
00:46:15,760 --> 00:46:24,640
uh, you know, administratively, we'll be
set up to crank it through, but but

464
00:46:20,400 --> 00:46:27,680
August 21st, Friday, 10:00 a.m., Judge
Wick's courtroom.

465
00:46:26,400 --> 00:46:27,680
» Uh, Mr. Chris Wall, can do can do can do

466
00:46:27,680 --> 00:46:31,280
can do can do can do can do can do can
do can do can you can you kind of get

467
00:46:28,640 --> 00:46:34,400
clarify the type of officials who are
allowed to by law by state statute to

468
00:46:33,440 --> 00:46:36,400
swear folks in.
>> I may need to lean on a county attorney

469
00:46:35,920 --> 00:46:38,847
for that.
>> That's fine.

470
00:46:36,800 --> 00:46:40,867
» I may need to look at statute.
[laughter]

471
00:46:41,920 --> 00:46:48,000
» If do you want me to email you?
>> That'd be great.

472
00:46:46,240 --> 00:46:50,480
» I think several people are questioning
what what are the requirements?

473
00:46:49,359 --> 00:46:51,599
» Who can swear who in?
>> Yes.

474
00:46:50,800 --> 00:46:55,839
» Yes.
>> Thank you, sir.

475
00:46:52,480 --> 00:47:01,520
» Could you verify it, please?
I think it has to be a constitutional

476
00:46:58,560 --> 00:47:05,760
officer and only some of them.
>> I think that they can [clears throat]

477
00:47:04,079 --> 00:47:09,760
but you would have to sign. They can
read the oath, but I think you

478
00:47:08,322 --> 00:47:14,720
[clears throat] or someone would have to
sign. We'll find out and say no. You

479
00:47:11,920 --> 00:47:20,079
will you have received a save the date
to to date that that is at the you have

480
00:47:18,319 --> 00:47:24,400
not received any official communication
on the election yet or swearing in

481
00:47:22,079 --> 00:47:29,599
because the election commission has
asked us to hold off until it's

482
00:47:26,000 --> 00:47:35,520
completely final. Um and and we do have
one race that's still um to be

483
00:47:32,400 --> 00:47:38,880
finalized. So that's why we haven't said
a whole lot about it, but that we just

484
00:47:37,200 --> 00:47:41,839
send a save the date and you'll receive
official notification from us about this

485
00:47:41,280 --> 00:47:43,920
coming up.
>> Yeah.

486
00:47:42,400 --> 00:47:47,520
» Any other questions on that? Got one
more quick point. Can you tell us which

487
00:47:46,079 --> 00:47:51,440
race?
>> The Herman race.

488
00:47:49,200 --> 00:47:55,200
» Yeah. Yeah. The election commission was
saying there was a couple of provisional

489
00:47:52,560 --> 00:48:00,079
ballots that still remain to be checked
and it asked us to hold off on do

490
00:47:56,960 --> 00:48:04,800
anything before that was finalized.
>> Sheriff, you got something. Is that date

491
00:48:02,160 --> 00:48:10,640
set in stone? I will be a new sheriff's
school in Franklin.

492
00:48:07,040 --> 00:48:15,440
» And we can do something separate.
But looking at the calendar, it gets so

493
00:48:13,760 --> 00:48:20,240
it has to be that's two weeks from
Friday, but that's a week from Friday

494
00:48:17,680 --> 00:48:25,599
and the week after that
um is training for so coup and coat or

495
00:48:24,160 --> 00:48:30,480
vote that next week. And I don't know
what sheriff or road super or sheriff's

496
00:48:27,839 --> 00:48:33,760
do for preliminary training. You got to
go to

497
00:48:31,599 --> 00:48:37,440
» two weeks. I go to one week of the seven
the week of the 17th and I got to go to

498
00:48:35,599 --> 00:48:42,079
a second week the week of September the
7th. So I have to go to two different

499
00:48:39,119 --> 00:48:47,839
» they have to go to well reelected but
new new commissioners have to go to coup

500
00:48:45,040 --> 00:48:55,839
for two days before they can serve and
same thing for uh

501
00:48:51,280 --> 00:49:00,400
clerks trustees register de those they
have to go that same week so

502
00:48:58,800 --> 00:49:05,599
it's tight. So I I I think we probably
need to look at the calendar and set

503
00:49:02,720 --> 00:49:09,400
something up specific for you and you
would feel me

504
00:49:09,520 --> 00:49:15,280
and one more thing Mr. chairman. Um
[laughter]

505
00:49:12,720 --> 00:49:20,880
see uh and that's what it is about is
coupe and that's the fourth fifth point

506
00:49:17,200 --> 00:49:25,839
down there is um our new our newly
elected commissioners just like you all

507
00:49:23,040 --> 00:49:31,839
did will have to go to that. You all are
invited. There's no uh registration that

508
00:49:29,200 --> 00:49:38,000
needs to occur. You can just go but you
would you would get two days of CASS

509
00:49:34,960 --> 00:49:41,920
training credit if you did go and you
can spend time. It's obviously good

510
00:49:39,599 --> 00:49:46,800
information. is, you know, basic and and
foundational. A lot of y'all are past

511
00:49:43,440 --> 00:49:52,000
that, but um certainly you're you're
invited to attend on the 24th and 25th.

512
00:49:49,920 --> 00:49:55,119
Kaylee Walker can give you much more
information about that than I can. Mr.

513
00:49:53,839 --> 00:50:01,040
Chairman, that concludes my report. Glad
to answer any questions.

514
00:49:56,880 --> 00:50:04,800
» Any point recogniz
we talked a little bit about

515
00:50:02,554 --> 00:50:09,079
[clears throat] executive committee. I'd
just like to share share with us.

516
00:50:09,359 --> 00:50:16,800
We've talked to the public a lot about
what's happening in Rome County and and

517
00:50:14,880 --> 00:50:21,839
a lot of a lot of numbers and other
things out just make sure we're on

518
00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:26,640
schedule with the companies that are
there. Nobody's nobody's defaulted.

519
00:50:24,319 --> 00:50:32,079
Nobody's changed their mind. We're on
schedule there. We're on schedule as far

520
00:50:28,880 --> 00:50:35,920
as as tax revenue comes getting property
tax along the way. But the real stuff

521
00:50:34,400 --> 00:50:39,760
comes when you start bringing in the
high dollar machinery and stuff where

522
00:50:37,520 --> 00:50:45,520
you where you get additional tax on the
on the business property stuff. But

523
00:50:42,640 --> 00:50:48,720
we're fine in terms of where where we
where we think we're going to be where

524
00:50:46,960 --> 00:50:52,000
we need to be in terms of all those
companies. Is that

525
00:50:49,839 --> 00:50:55,119
» Yeah. Real quickly, let me try to go off
top of my head on each one of them.

526
00:50:53,119 --> 00:50:57,760
Chyros Powers way ahead of schedule.
>> Okay.

527
00:50:55,520 --> 00:51:02,720
» They've changed the fact that they may
even be skipping a step

528
00:51:00,319 --> 00:51:08,000
uh to expedite their process. That
sounds terrible. Don't quote me on that,

529
00:51:04,559 --> 00:51:14,160
but they're ahead of schedule. Radiant,
um, they made a decision to come here in

530
00:51:11,520 --> 00:51:17,680
October, I think it was. They have steel
in the ground going vertical as of last

531
00:51:16,160 --> 00:51:26,559
week.
Oaklo is on track in their licensing uh,

532
00:51:24,319 --> 00:51:32,400
uh, discussions with NRC. They have
already done land clearing at ETB.

533
00:51:29,599 --> 00:51:36,160
Standard Nuclear has purchased five
buildings at ETP and just went public.

534
00:51:34,880 --> 00:51:40,400
Standard Nuclear
>> and just went public about three weeks

535
00:51:38,480 --> 00:51:44,800
ago, I think it was.
>> So, they're doing great. Rano is well on

536
00:51:42,880 --> 00:51:50,000
schedule. I spent a lot of time with
John Luke last week. Um, Trio X is

537
00:51:48,720 --> 00:51:55,680
probably going to be the number three
employer in the county. They are the

538
00:51:52,640 --> 00:52:01,440
first private company in Rome County to
be able to poach

539
00:51:57,680 --> 00:52:06,079
employees from Y12 and OL to the point
that's causing both of them a little bit

540
00:52:03,040 --> 00:52:10,400
of trouble. Uh for the first time we
have a private employer who can compete

541
00:52:08,160 --> 00:52:15,520
with DOE wage rates and the rest of them
will follow suit. They will have up

542
00:52:13,520 --> 00:52:20,960
their number right now is 1,500
employees. They just announced another

543
00:52:18,160 --> 00:52:28,319
expansion three weeks after their latest
announcement last week. Um, and then so

544
00:52:25,359 --> 00:52:31,680
then going around BWXT,
they've stood up their facility in

545
00:52:29,760 --> 00:52:36,000
January. It's fully operational. We
still expect another announcement there.

546
00:52:33,839 --> 00:52:41,599
And then the big one is the big one, the
biggest one is TVA Clinch River. And the

547
00:52:39,359 --> 00:52:48,559
appointment of Mike Scaggs as the new
CEO of TVA I think is a gamecher for us.

548
00:52:46,720 --> 00:52:52,160
We got the chance to spend a lot of time
with him last week at the now

549
00:52:50,640 --> 00:52:57,440
conference, the E Tech conference that
they held and um [clears throat] he

550
00:52:55,839 --> 00:53:01,920
everything that we were going to ask him
for from an Oakidge corridor

551
00:52:59,440 --> 00:53:06,480
perspective, he was already on board
before we even got to him. So you put

552
00:53:04,480 --> 00:53:11,920
all that together, that's just Rome
County. That's well over 4,000 jobs,

553
00:53:09,760 --> 00:53:16,559
well over 10 billion dollars depending
on how you count. That's not including

554
00:53:13,280 --> 00:53:22,240
any DOE. It's not including TVA. We're
well ahead. And that none of that has to

555
00:53:19,839 --> 00:53:27,119
do with the latest announcement that DOE
made, which is a nuclear life cycle

556
00:53:23,920 --> 00:53:31,760
innovation campus, which Tennessee is a
finalist for, but that could double the

557
00:53:29,760 --> 00:53:35,440
employment on the Oakidge reservation.
Do you know when that might happen? Uh

558
00:53:33,520 --> 00:53:39,760
it's a conversation that's ongoing with
the White House, DOE, and those five

559
00:53:37,680 --> 00:53:44,720
states right now. The governor's office
briefed us on it last week just to make

560
00:53:41,760 --> 00:53:49,520
sure that that that we all understood
our state is well in that conversation.

561
00:53:48,480 --> 00:53:53,359
We're in a good position.
>> And is TVA still on four units or are

562
00:53:52,079 --> 00:53:59,359
they increasing the number of units?
>> No, that that Mr. Scaggs announced uh

563
00:53:57,280 --> 00:54:04,960
couple weeks ago when we met with him at
TVA Kingston that that's going to have

564
00:54:01,599 --> 00:54:08,640
five units. increasing.
So there's so much happening and that's

565
00:54:07,040 --> 00:54:11,839
there's there's still way more I could
go on and on and on but that's the

566
00:54:10,800 --> 00:54:16,960
basics.
>> So I guess the only other thing left is

567
00:54:14,079 --> 00:54:19,200
is the cooperation is still
>> very

568
00:54:18,720 --> 00:54:22,480
between
>> if the cooperation stops things may

569
00:54:21,920 --> 00:54:26,079
stop.
>> Yeah. And I guess only last

570
00:54:24,557 --> 00:54:31,440
[clears throat] we we invested some
money in in in in the Oakidge cor money

571
00:54:29,440 --> 00:54:34,640
well spent. I mean, it's the greatest
return on investment I think we could

572
00:54:32,880 --> 00:54:41,240
ever.
Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

573
00:54:37,040 --> 00:54:41,240
» All right, let's move on to

574
00:54:43,440 --> 00:54:47,119
speak.
>> Chair recognition Commissioner

575
00:54:45,839 --> 00:54:52,160
Henderson,
>> Mr. Creswell, u you know, we hear all

576
00:54:50,000 --> 00:54:56,960
this good news about this coming in, but
please don't none of y'all forget that

577
00:54:55,440 --> 00:55:04,480
we're going to have a bunch of sick
workers out there. Okay, I'm one of

578
00:55:00,559 --> 00:55:08,079
them. My daddy died because
I still ain't got my money. I still

579
00:55:06,480 --> 00:55:13,760
ain't got liver that I don't have
anymore. [clears throat]

580
00:55:10,880 --> 00:55:18,880
So, you know, we while we're enjoying
all this uh lowhanging fruit and

581
00:55:16,960 --> 00:55:24,720
everything, let's don't forget about the
people in this county and other counties

582
00:55:21,680 --> 00:55:29,920
that they need to really be working on
something like DOE has set up except for

583
00:55:27,599 --> 00:55:34,640
they'll release the money to the people
when they're needed. Thank you. To that

584
00:55:32,640 --> 00:55:37,920
point in point number three, the nuclear
regulatory commission will hold their

585
00:55:36,079 --> 00:55:42,079
final public hearing regarding TDA's
construction permit for small module

586
00:55:39,680 --> 00:55:48,079
reactor small module nuclear reactor on
the Clint River site on the August 13th

587
00:55:46,160 --> 00:55:52,160
that Thursday
uh at 5:30 at Paul Auditorium in

588
00:55:50,000 --> 00:55:55,440
Oakidge. So I would encourage you to
attend that and address those concerns.

589
00:55:54,079 --> 00:55:59,119
That's exactly what that's for.
>> Last time I addressed my concerns, Mayor

590
00:55:57,280 --> 00:56:01,839
Frank told me to shut my mouth and sit
down. She heard enough.

591
00:56:01,200 --> 00:56:06,160
» I mean you
>> I have no idea today. So you know I will

592
00:56:04,880 --> 00:56:08,720
be there.
>> Thank you.

593
00:56:07,040 --> 00:56:13,280
» And I think that's also included in our
report that's that that environmental

594
00:56:11,520 --> 00:56:17,119
review board is looking at and all of
that type of stuff as well.

595
00:56:15,359 --> 00:56:21,359
» Yeah. The environmental review board's
list of things is

596
00:56:20,240 --> 00:56:25,040
» long
>> is grown to the point where they need

597
00:56:23,200 --> 00:56:27,119
subcommittees.
It is a long

598
00:56:25,920 --> 00:56:30,480
» I'm saying that that's part of what
they're looking into. Oh, absolutely.

599
00:56:28,880 --> 00:56:32,240
It's probably number one thing.
>> Absolutely.

600
00:56:31,040 --> 00:56:35,240
» Yeah.
>> Yeah.

601
00:56:35,760 --> 00:56:41,680
» Thanks, sir.
>> All right. Let's move on to appointment

602
00:56:39,200 --> 00:56:47,119
of special orders. Appointment of
Richard Owens to the board of zoning and

603
00:56:43,760 --> 00:56:49,599
appeals. Motion by motion by bracket,
second by Henderson. Commissioner

604
00:56:48,640 --> 00:56:51,839
Bracket.
>> Nothing.

605
00:56:50,400 --> 00:56:59,280
» Commissioner Henderson,
>> I think you'll be a good one.

606
00:56:54,000 --> 00:56:59,280
» Any discussion? Any debate? Madam clerk?

607
00:57:02,400 --> 00:57:10,559
Majority pass. All right. One, two, and
nine have been pulled. Uh, so madam

608
00:57:07,200 --> 00:57:16,640
clerk, if you let me know when you can.
>> Yes. So, some clarity on number one is

609
00:57:13,599 --> 00:57:21,359
number one requires a public hearing
even if it was [clears throat] uh even

610
00:57:18,720 --> 00:57:24,960
if we were going to recommend denial.
So, we're going to have to punt that for

611
00:57:23,200 --> 00:57:28,480
a month and then have a public have have
an adequate notice for a public hearing

612
00:57:26,880 --> 00:57:32,000
before we do that. So, it'll be on the
September agenda.

613
00:57:29,520 --> 00:57:35,040
» All right, [clears throat]
>> Greg.

614
00:57:34,000 --> 00:57:40,160
So, you ready?
>> All right. Thank you. Uh resolution

Motion by Wilson, second by Doug,

618
00:57:55,040 --> 00:58:01,280
Commissioner Wilson.
>> I just want to say this one last time.

619
00:57:58,559 --> 00:58:05,760
Uh I'll I'm going to turn my time over
to the county executive before it

620
00:58:03,119 --> 00:58:08,625
becomes mayor. I'm going to yield to the
county attorney. [laughter]

621
00:58:08,640 --> 00:58:12,760
I think it speaks for itself.

622
00:58:14,960 --> 00:58:22,280
» Nothing.
>> Any discussion in debate?

623
00:58:18,960 --> 00:58:22,280

in an undeveloped roadway that runs from

626
00:58:32,160 --> 00:58:41,119
Ferguson Lane and bisect Parkway 22 and
22.01

627
00:58:37,920 --> 00:58:44,240
uh control map 47. Motion by Barry,
second by Henderson. Commissioner Barry,

628
00:58:43,200 --> 00:58:46,480
» further.
>> Commissioner Henderson,

629
00:58:45,520 --> 00:58:52,079
» further.
>> Any discussion? I need I just want to

630
00:58:49,040 --> 00:58:56,640
say I thought at one point uh we we had
said that the this is not where the

631
00:58:53,920 --> 00:59:02,400
paper it's written on but we continue to
to have these appear.

632
00:58:58,559 --> 00:59:10,400
» Well, I didn't put anything about
signing a deed in these resolutions. So,

633
00:59:06,079 --> 00:59:16,400
if you want if you want to give people
deeds, you'll need to to amend each of

634
00:59:12,960 --> 00:59:22,960
these resolutions. Um,
this particular one is for a private

635
00:59:19,920 --> 00:59:26,799
easement. So, I couldn't see that the
county has even dedicated any interest

636
00:59:25,760 --> 00:59:30,160
in this.
>> This Mr. Chairman, if I may add, I think

637
00:59:28,640 --> 00:59:34,480
this is sort of kind of an alternative
approach to that when [clears throat]

638
00:59:31,920 --> 00:59:38,160
you say when we used to deed a rideway
that wasn't written, wasn't worth the

639
00:59:36,400 --> 00:59:41,760
paper it was written on.
>> This is just abandoning that.

640
00:59:39,920 --> 00:59:46,799
» Okay. And so, these three that we're
getting ready to address, you

641
00:59:44,720 --> 00:59:51,599
Yeah, there's
there's no provision in any of these

642
00:59:48,960 --> 00:59:57,040
resolutions to deed anything to anybody.
You're just making a formal statement

643
00:59:54,400 --> 01:00:00,799
that the county has no interest in these
particular roadways.

644
00:59:59,040 --> 01:00:03,119
» Okay,
it chair recognizes Commissioner

645
01:00:02,480 --> 01:00:09,091
Bracket.
>> I guess my question in that there's been

646
01:00:06,000 --> 01:00:11,839
liability on at some point with us.
>> [clears throat]

647
01:00:09,200 --> 01:00:16,799
» If we do this this way, are we totally
out? If if the neighbors getting

648
01:00:13,359 --> 01:00:20,720
squabbled, if the Yeah. I mean,
>> you you should be totally out. It's it's

649
01:00:19,200 --> 01:00:25,760
it's basically
>> should be or will be.

650
01:00:22,720 --> 01:00:30,640
» You're Well, you're basically saying
that the county has no interest in these

651
01:00:28,160 --> 01:00:35,119
road beds and you're leaving it up to
the neighbors to figure out what to do

652
01:00:32,480 --> 01:00:38,000
from there.
could turn. I mean, if if there was a

653
01:00:36,720 --> 01:00:40,240
squabble of someone, I guess it's a
civil matter or something.

654
01:00:39,040 --> 01:00:44,000
» It's a civil matter.
>> We're out.

655
01:00:41,040 --> 01:00:47,119
» Yeah.
>> Chair recognized Commissioner Parks.

656
01:00:46,160 --> 01:00:50,240
» Is these [clears throat] the ones that
the lady brought to the road committee?

657
01:00:49,839 --> 01:00:58,000
» I
>> and and asked this about

658
01:00:52,880 --> 01:01:05,359
» I may be uh let's see. Yeah, these have
all gone to road committee. Yeah,

659
01:01:02,000 --> 01:01:07,520
» these row Yeah, the these are
>> one of them's still basically a guy's

660
01:01:06,960 --> 01:01:12,960
yard.
>> Is this all the same person?

661
01:01:09,359 --> 01:01:20,160
» No, there's three different ones. Uh,
one is I don't remember exactly, but I I

662
01:01:16,400 --> 01:01:26,799
just remember we vetted it pretty a good
while and they were

663
01:01:24,160 --> 01:01:33,680
no issue that I could see, no problem
with any of them. One of them basically

664
01:01:31,200 --> 01:01:41,520
was in a guy's yard and then another one
was to a guy's uh a rideway to his own

665
01:01:38,480 --> 01:01:47,839
back lot.
Yeah, I think this first one is the

666
01:01:44,559 --> 01:01:53,280
rideway to the guy's own [snorts]
back lot and then the other two were on

667
01:01:50,000 --> 01:02:00,640
subdivision plat. So there the other two
there is an implied dedication to the

668
01:01:57,119 --> 01:02:06,559
county but the road superintendent says
they never been maintained as a county

669
01:02:02,559 --> 01:02:09,960
road but the first one is clearly just a
private eman.

670
01:02:11,200 --> 01:02:16,040

01:06:08,240 --> 01:06:15,599
Motion by Henderson, second by Goss.
>> Stacy, would you like to talk to us

714
01:06:13,760 --> 01:06:22,079
about this?
>> Um, I handed everybody um some

715
01:06:19,119 --> 01:06:25,039
paperwork. Um, just my thoughts and I'm
sorry if it's all over the map. I get

716
01:06:23,520 --> 01:06:31,200
excited about talking about the shelter
and we're moving forward. Um the

717
01:06:28,400 --> 01:06:37,039
previous organization that we leased the
clinic to um originally had planned on

718
01:06:34,559 --> 01:06:42,559
being there at least three days a week,
you know, and provide services for, you

719
01:06:40,000 --> 01:06:48,480
know, the shelter and county residents
as well. They never moved past going,

720
01:06:45,680 --> 01:06:55,119
you know, being there only on Mondays.
Um so I have talked to Plan Pet. Um, you

721
01:06:53,440 --> 01:06:59,440
know, they were talking about how bad
their building has went downhill and

722
01:06:57,680 --> 01:07:04,960
they were, you know, trying to come up
with the funding. Um, and I mentioned

723
01:07:02,880 --> 01:07:13,200
the, you know, leasing the clinic to
them and, um, they came back and was

724
01:07:09,119 --> 01:07:20,240
very excited about it. Um, so I spoke
with a pausing pause for a cause. uh the

725
01:07:16,880 --> 01:07:24,559
director there, she agreed with me that,
you know, things hadn't turned out the

726
01:07:22,079 --> 01:07:29,680
way that we had originally planned for
it to. She has another clinic in

727
01:07:26,400 --> 01:07:35,200
Knoxville that got really, really busy.
So, she agreed that Planned Parenthood

728
01:07:33,039 --> 01:07:40,640
would be able to utilize the clinic
better than she could. So, they're

729
01:07:38,480 --> 01:07:46,240
planning on being there four days a week
and they are extending hours.

730
01:07:43,440 --> 01:07:49,920
um they're bringing back more services
that they used to do back years ago.

731
01:07:48,240 --> 01:07:56,480
They've been in Rome County. They've
served Rome County for over 20 years.

732
01:07:52,720 --> 01:08:01,920
So, we have the same views, the balance,
and they have a passion for our

733
01:07:58,720 --> 01:08:06,240
community. I know plant owners and uh
just folks that are trying to um you

734
01:08:05,119 --> 01:08:12,079
know, [laughter]
tackle all of the barrel colonies.

735
01:08:08,880 --> 01:08:17,520
uh basically reduce the strays in Rome
County to make it a better place to to

736
01:08:14,079 --> 01:08:22,719
live and to reside. Um improving the
health of pets for pet owners as well.

737
01:08:20,719 --> 01:08:28,719
But I'm really really excited about
Planned Parenthood coming in to the

738
01:08:25,520 --> 01:08:34,239
clinic and um I think we're really
really going to see major benefits right

739
01:08:30,799 --> 01:08:40,880
away. Now, will they be giving us free
or discounted uh

740
01:08:37,120 --> 01:08:47,920
sper ones that come into our shelter?
>> Yes. Um they're the lease is actually

741
01:08:45,600 --> 01:08:51,120
set up to where
they're paying their lease through

742
01:08:49,520 --> 01:08:58,080
services.
So um and we also utilize the University

743
01:08:54,880 --> 01:09:02,719
of Tennessee uh College of Veterinary
Medicine and you know we still have

744
01:09:00,400 --> 01:09:09,600
surgeries done there when when school is
in session. Um we also utilize clause

745
01:09:06,799 --> 01:09:15,920
and pause for a cause. Um anywhere we
can go basically but [snorts] they're

746
01:09:13,120 --> 01:09:20,960
also going to provide well checks. Um,
and you know, in the shelter, that's

747
01:09:18,000 --> 01:09:25,440
that's a tremendous blessing for us.
>> You know, they come in, you know, and

748
01:09:23,600 --> 01:09:29,679
you know, due to their roaming around on
the streets, whatever, the condition of

749
01:09:27,279 --> 01:09:34,560
their bodies, uh, they can better tell
us what's going on with that pet and

750
01:09:32,080 --> 01:09:40,000
should they be on the adoption floor or
are they going to be repairable? You

751
01:09:36,560 --> 01:09:44,960
know, it's basically, um, a resource to
me that's going to be priceless. But

752
01:09:42,000 --> 01:09:51,520
they will be they will be spaying and
neutering as many as possible. And my

753
01:09:48,400 --> 01:09:55,280
goal is to not let anybody leave the
shelter without being fixed at this

754
01:09:53,359 --> 01:09:58,239
point. So, and I think I'm going to
achieve my goal. I'm working on it.

755
01:09:57,679 --> 01:10:01,218
» Thank you.
>> Thank you.

756
01:09:58,880 --> 01:10:04,560
» All right. Chair Mcnor,
[clears throat] Mr. Chairman, the

757
01:10:02,960 --> 01:10:08,560
biggest thing I want to say is I want to
thank Stacy

758
01:10:06,880 --> 01:10:13,760
sound
listening to talking barking dogs ear

759
01:10:11,920 --> 01:10:17,199
drums the environment stuff down there
does a phenomenal job. I've been in and

760
01:10:15,679 --> 01:10:22,640
out of that building a lot. Been sitting
there aisle. Uh all the money that the

761
01:10:20,239 --> 01:10:27,920
county put into it, you know, it's not
being utilized. Uh I think it's going to

762
01:10:25,040 --> 01:10:31,600
be a valuable asset and I want to thank
Stacy for spearheading that getting

763
01:10:29,760 --> 01:10:36,320
going. We'd actually talked about, you
know, a little bit. She put my brain on

764
01:10:33,840 --> 01:10:40,560
it, but I'm not that. I love animals. I
think people seen that through the

765
01:10:37,840 --> 01:10:46,000
through my election campaign, but uh she
doesn't know on the job. That building

766
01:10:42,719 --> 01:10:51,040
is definitely going to be an asset to
long as it didn't look like bones when

767
01:10:48,880 --> 01:10:55,920
chair recognizes Commissioner.
>> Uh a question I have concerning this

768
01:10:53,679 --> 01:11:00,480
lease is a 25-year lease. Is that that
seems a long time. Is that the norm?

769
01:10:58,880 --> 01:11:04,800
is exact my response.
>> Yeah.

770
01:11:00,960 --> 01:11:06,960
» So, we ensured that termination clauses
um were in it.

771
01:11:06,159 --> 01:11:09,600
» Okay.
>> But I won't don't want to say too much

772
01:11:09,040 --> 01:11:12,719
legal,
>> right?

773
01:11:09,920 --> 01:11:17,280
» Said by the next county attorney. You
want to say anything?

774
01:11:14,000 --> 01:11:24,880
» Well, if they breach the lease, you can
terminate, but it is a

775
01:11:21,120 --> 01:11:36,040
» 25 year lease. So, as long as they're
providing the required services to the

776
01:11:28,640 --> 01:11:36,040
animal shelter, then it's 25 years old.

777
01:11:36,880 --> 01:11:42,480
» You want to speak to that?
>> Yeah. Um,

778
01:11:40,320 --> 01:11:47,760
yeah. The one thing that they were
concerned about whenever I did speak

779
01:11:44,480 --> 01:11:51,920
with them about it was, um, you know,
they've been at the location that

780
01:11:49,199 --> 01:11:57,360
they're at since they opened. Um,
currently they they leased the property

781
01:11:54,320 --> 01:12:01,760
from Winrock. Um, they own the little
double wide building. Bless their

782
01:11:58,880 --> 01:12:04,159
hearts, it's falling apart. Um, they
wanted some stability.

783
01:12:03,440 --> 01:12:09,600
» Yeah.
>> And and I understand that because they

784
01:12:06,640 --> 01:12:13,880
are all about their business. They are
compassionate. Um,

785
01:12:14,800 --> 01:12:24,080
» yeah. They um they just basically wanted
that stability, reassurance

786
01:12:22,239 --> 01:12:29,840
uh and the communication that we have
and will be working with so closely. You

787
01:12:27,040 --> 01:12:33,280
know, we're have Greg on speak should we
have [clears throat] any questions that

788
01:12:31,360 --> 01:12:37,199
they are fantastic to work with. I
worked with them since I came to the

789
01:12:35,199 --> 01:12:39,840
shelter in 2016 and I've been on our
issues.

790
01:12:39,120 --> 01:12:44,400
» Thank you,
>> Chair recognized Commissioner Bracket.

791
01:12:42,480 --> 01:12:48,239
I'm not against this probably by any
means, but to me this should go through

792
01:12:46,239 --> 01:12:53,040
the property committee, take a look at
it through proper channels before we

793
01:12:50,480 --> 01:12:57,520
enter 25 year lease with somebody.
That's something we've set up to do. I

794
01:12:55,600 --> 01:13:00,560
think we need eyes on it and we might
want to change it. I don't know.

795
01:12:59,380 --> 01:13:04,440
[clears throat]
That's what the committee's for.

796
01:13:05,120 --> 01:13:09,360
» Make an amendment.
>> Are you making a motion to amend to send

797
01:13:08,960 --> 01:13:12,719
back?
>> Make a motion to amend it. Send it to

798
01:13:10,960 --> 01:13:14,960
property committee. Come back. [snorts]
>> A second.

799
01:13:13,520 --> 01:13:20,679
» All right. So I have a motion from
bracket to send to property committee. A

800
01:13:16,880 --> 01:13:20,679
second by Hamilton.

801
01:13:20,800 --> 01:13:28,640
» Any discussion? Any debate?
>> Quick question here. Stacy, is there a

802
01:13:24,640 --> 01:13:35,760
time sensitivity all this?
>> Um, as far as getting started,

803
01:13:31,920 --> 01:13:41,600
» as far as ex executing the agreement,
>> um, basically soon as possible.

804
01:13:39,120 --> 01:13:47,520
um they're working on transitioning
things at this time. Um

805
01:13:45,760 --> 01:13:54,239
you know, and I I know that they would
be willing to, you know, negotiate. Um

806
01:13:51,840 --> 01:13:59,440
but here's here's the problem with that,
and I understand 100% where you come

807
01:13:57,040 --> 01:14:01,840
from, but we won't have committee
meetings again.

808
01:14:01,040 --> 01:14:09,120
» That's true.
>> Until the third week of October,

809
01:14:05,920 --> 01:14:13,760
» right? There won't there won't be
for them

810
01:14:11,280 --> 01:14:14,640
» I mean we got the committees for a
reason.

811
01:14:14,159 --> 01:14:20,640
» Yeah.
>> Right. But as of October as of August

812
01:14:17,679 --> 01:14:27,040
31st we don't we won't have them again
until this body approves the new

813
01:14:24,000 --> 01:14:31,920
committees in October.
>> Not to be insensitive but I mean

814
01:14:29,679 --> 01:14:36,640
» business is business. I mean to protect
us. We're looking at 25 years a

815
01:14:34,400 --> 01:14:41,679
building.
I mean, business is business.

816
01:14:40,480 --> 01:14:45,440
» Brian, you had something?
>> Yes, sir. We're moving the phones on the

817
01:14:43,520 --> 01:14:49,920
17th.
So, um, if we if we're not moving

818
01:14:48,800 --> 01:14:56,520
through it, we need to know that
immediately because once we move their

819
01:14:51,760 --> 01:14:56,520
phones there, they will have

820
01:14:57,760 --> 01:15:04,800
» 17th of this month.
>> Yes, sir. Next month. [laughter]

821
01:15:02,960 --> 01:15:09,360
Chair recognized Commissioner Leman.
>> Would you entertain an amendment for

822
01:15:07,199 --> 01:15:14,159
one-year approval to we can come back to
the committees?

823
01:15:11,520 --> 01:15:18,719
» I think that would be to the county at I
mean I you know with everything that's

824
01:15:16,400 --> 01:15:21,679
said in this contract,
>> you know what I mean? I mean I'm not

825
01:15:20,400 --> 01:15:23,760
saying I'm against it. I'm just saying
that

826
01:15:22,080 --> 01:15:25,440
» understand I just don't want to stop
with you.

827
01:15:25,120 --> 01:15:29,600
» Yeah.
>> We shouldn't know about it a month ago

828
01:15:27,360 --> 01:15:36,239
maybe. You know, and I know it sounds
cruel, but if we don't get it right, we

829
01:15:32,640 --> 01:15:41,239
could be in the violence way.
>> I agree. 25 years is a long time to

830
01:15:42,000 --> 01:15:49,280
are you. So, you're taking a friendly I
don't know that you can amend that for a

831
01:15:46,560 --> 01:15:53,280
year versus 25. Well,
>> you have to

832
01:15:50,239 --> 01:15:58,080
» You've got a motion to send it to
committee. So, that would take

833
01:15:55,920 --> 01:16:05,040
preference.
Now, if the 25-y year lease gets sent to

834
01:16:02,080 --> 01:16:09,520
committee, I guess somebody could make a
motion to

835
01:16:07,120 --> 01:16:15,239
authorize a lease under the same terms
for a lesser period.

836
01:16:11,920 --> 01:16:15,239
After that,

837
01:16:15,920 --> 01:16:23,840
» chair recognizes Commissioner Bry.
>> What are they le facility?

838
01:16:20,640 --> 01:16:27,360
» Yes, the clinic next door to the clinic.
>> Just the clinic. Yes. It doesn't really

839
01:16:25,679 --> 01:16:30,159
have anything to do with the rest of the
facility.

840
01:16:28,400 --> 01:16:35,679
» No.
>> So, so can we can we narrow this down to

841
01:16:33,679 --> 01:16:37,520
the to just the facility that they're
leasing?

842
01:16:36,640 --> 01:16:40,800
» The clinic.
>> That is the lease.

843
01:16:38,880 --> 01:16:44,159
» I'm saying it's just the it's just the
clinic, right? It's not

844
01:16:41,760 --> 01:16:49,440
» it's just not the entire operation.
>> No, just

845
01:16:46,239 --> 01:16:52,320
the clinic. Uh what
what we use the clinic for other

846
01:16:51,253 --> 01:16:56,640
[clears throat]
than

847
01:16:54,800 --> 01:17:05,008
Um
we won't the won't be used um until

848
01:17:00,880 --> 01:17:07,028
someone plan comes in to utilize it.
[clears throat]

849
01:17:10,159 --> 01:17:16,159
It just it just seems like just the
whole facility that's one that's one

850
01:17:14,400 --> 01:17:23,120
thing. But if we're just talking about
clinic that's not being used uh and and

851
01:17:20,640 --> 01:17:28,800
they've already got plans for services
being and I agree I agree with

852
01:17:25,199 --> 01:17:35,199
Commissioner Bracket uh you know we we
we said we were going to use committees

853
01:17:30,480 --> 01:17:39,840
and stuff but maybe this was just fra
it's just a clinic

854
01:17:38,080 --> 01:17:45,560
I think I think we just need to say that
here and it's not it's not the uh

855
01:17:45,920 --> 01:17:51,000
It's not the said facility, it's the
clinic.

856
01:17:53,120 --> 01:17:59,040
» Can we grant them temporary office?
>> All right, guys. Let's use the push to

857
01:17:57,040 --> 01:18:02,080
talk button here because I've got people
that's already questioned in front of

858
01:18:00,719 --> 01:18:06,320
me.
>> All right. Chair recognized Commissioner

859
01:18:03,679 --> 01:18:13,199
Wilson.
>> Uh, when was the lease up for plan F?

860
01:18:12,480 --> 01:18:17,679
Um
>> can you restate that please?

861
01:18:15,040 --> 01:18:20,080
» For uh pause and clause for a cause the
the one that was before.

862
01:18:19,280 --> 01:18:24,800
» Yeah.
>> Um

863
01:18:22,080 --> 01:18:29,199
that would be in mid July.
So they vacated in mid July and cleaned

864
01:18:28,560 --> 01:18:33,199
up.
>> No, the one that is currently looking to

865
01:18:31,440 --> 01:18:36,400
lease. That's the one I'm talking about.
I'm sorry.

866
01:18:34,000 --> 01:18:40,400
» I'm sorry. I'm not sure when their lease
is up with the Windrock property that

867
01:18:38,960 --> 01:18:42,560
they're on right now. Is that what
you're talking about?

868
01:18:41,120 --> 01:18:47,520
» Yes. Okay. I think that's the big
>> I'm not really sure about that date. I

869
01:18:44,880 --> 01:18:50,640
just I do know that they are trying to
get everything moved over quickly

870
01:18:48,880 --> 01:18:56,320
because they're juggling surgeries at
that location and they would like to

871
01:18:52,800 --> 01:19:00,800
start surgeries at the new location.
>> That I guess that would be the the

872
01:18:58,080 --> 01:19:07,760
barriers that would fall in if we if
there's not an extreme urgency to to do

873
01:19:04,880 --> 01:19:15,120
that then I could see. I hate that the
committee is is six weeks away. That's

874
01:19:10,400 --> 01:19:19,679
that's the the province of it. Do what?
>> Got nine weeks left.

875
01:19:17,760 --> 01:19:23,360
» That's a long time to deal with
business.

876
01:19:21,520 --> 01:19:30,320
» Okay. Chair recognized Commissioner
Hooks.

877
01:19:26,159 --> 01:19:35,440
» Thank you, Mr. Chairman. So
we would be without

878
01:19:33,199 --> 01:19:38,440
these
pl

879
01:19:39,840 --> 01:19:45,480
» Yes.
>> For the entire

880
01:19:42,080 --> 01:19:45,480
» for your shelters.

881
01:19:46,159 --> 01:19:53,760
» When when did we first learn of this
transition?

882
01:19:51,760 --> 01:20:00,000
» Um
about maybe a month. Well, it was mid

883
01:19:56,800 --> 01:20:04,640
1st of July, mid July. It just kind of
it happened. It just happened.

884
01:20:02,320 --> 01:20:08,159
» Falls and Paul was not going to renew
their contract or you

885
01:20:07,760 --> 01:20:10,880
» No.
>> Or someone decided that they weren't

886
01:20:10,239 --> 01:20:16,320
going to
>> Yeah, we mutually agreed. Um, you know,

887
01:20:13,520 --> 01:20:19,920
I talked with her about how she felt,
you know, about being open more days a

888
01:20:18,320 --> 01:20:24,960
week, and I knew that she she just
wasn't able to, um, due to demand that

889
01:20:23,120 --> 01:20:30,880
she's got going on at the other facility
that she runs in Knoxville.

890
01:20:27,520 --> 01:20:34,960
And, um, I even spoke to Brad about it,
you know, that

891
01:20:33,120 --> 01:20:41,920
there's so many things that could be
happening should the right person be in

892
01:20:37,199 --> 01:20:47,679
the clinic, you know. Um,
she actually agreed for Planned

893
01:20:44,320 --> 01:20:52,080
Parenthood to be able to utilize it more
than she would be able to to benefit

894
01:20:50,080 --> 01:20:58,080
Rome County
and the children. [clears throat]

895
01:20:55,360 --> 01:21:00,400
» This question, Mr.
Mr.

896
01:21:02,800 --> 01:21:13,640
until the new committees get
set.

897
01:21:09,040 --> 01:21:13,640
Is the acting committee still

898
01:21:14,800 --> 01:21:24,800
» until the end of August?
>> And not beyond that.

899
01:21:21,520 --> 01:21:27,199
» Not beyond that. No, because it was
disappointed

900
01:21:26,356 --> 01:21:29,840
[clears throat] through the end of
August.

901
01:21:37,760 --> 01:21:44,280
September.
>> Well, we could call them by the end of

902
01:21:41,120 --> 01:21:44,280
the month.

903
01:21:44,400 --> 01:21:50,679
» Yeah.
At least to get it to September meeting.

904
01:21:51,360 --> 01:21:54,600
» Who's chairman?

905
01:21:55,679 --> 01:22:03,520
» So, I'm I'm sorry.
y'all talking back and forth. So, are we

906
01:22:01,760 --> 01:22:08,159
good through September?
>> You're good through the end of August.

907
01:22:05,360 --> 01:22:14,920
So, you could have a meeting this month,
make a recommendation, and then put it

908
01:22:10,639 --> 01:22:14,920
back on the agenda for September.

909
01:22:18,880 --> 01:22:24,320
» All right. Is that [clears throat] you,
Commissioner Brack?

910
01:22:22,239 --> 01:22:29,120
» I'm good with that. If we can get a a
committee meeting in, check it out.

911
01:22:27,760 --> 01:22:32,080
So, we still have the amendment that
we're discussing. So, let me get through

912
01:22:30,547 --> 01:22:37,600
[clears throat] everyone's request to
speak here. Commissioner Gan,

913
01:22:34,560 --> 01:22:41,360
» so why cannot we grant him temporary
occupancy?

914
01:22:39,199 --> 01:22:44,719
» Well, you can do that after you deal
with this amendment, but you've got one

915
01:22:43,360 --> 01:22:48,480
motion on the floor.
>> Then, let's do this amendment and go

916
01:22:46,159 --> 01:22:53,280
ahead and grant him temporary occupancy
pending the outcome of that. And so,

917
01:22:51,040 --> 01:22:57,440
nothing's held up. Grant, we should be
able to grant them temporary occupancy.

918
01:22:56,639 --> 01:23:02,960
which [clears throat]
Brad's moving the phones August 17th. So

919
01:23:00,000 --> 01:23:06,000
I doubt we'll have
it.

920
01:23:03,920 --> 01:23:08,719
» Was it the 17th this month or September?
>> This month, right?

921
01:23:07,040 --> 01:23:11,679
» Yes, sir. Next Monday.
>> Next Monday. They're moving the phone.

922
01:23:10,239 --> 01:23:15,760
» Next Monday.
>> So,

923
01:23:13,520 --> 01:23:20,800
but so let me understand. Let me clarify
for everybody. So, here we go. The

924
01:23:18,719 --> 01:23:27,600
current one is going to have to go back.
We're talking about the amended uh A2612

925
01:23:24,880 --> 01:23:32,080
as amended to go back to the property
committee.

926
01:23:28,639 --> 01:23:36,159
» Probably be better just to classify as a
motion to refer it to the property

927
01:23:34,159 --> 01:23:40,239
committee because if it's an amendment,
you've got to amend it than vote on it.

928
01:23:38,239 --> 01:23:44,960
» Okay. So, we just motion to refer it
back. But you're wanting to also grant

929
01:23:42,719 --> 01:23:49,040
temporary occupancy.
>> Well, I

930
01:23:46,960 --> 01:23:53,120
that would be a separate motion after
this motion. All right. Well, it ain't

931
01:23:51,600 --> 01:23:58,239
on the agenda, so
>> but but it's uh this is a regular

932
01:23:56,400 --> 01:24:01,520
meeting, so you can bring up other
stuff.

933
01:23:58,560 --> 01:24:05,440
» All right. 82612
recommendation was to send back to the

934
01:24:03,360 --> 01:24:11,920
property committee. That motion was made
by bracket. Uh voice vote. All in favor

935
01:24:08,880 --> 01:24:17,360
of sending this back to property say I.
>> All oppose like sign.

936
01:24:14,880 --> 01:24:26,360
All right. So that motion carries. Now
we deal with the temporary occupy of the

937
01:24:22,000 --> 01:24:26,360
plan owner clinic.

938
01:24:26,639 --> 01:24:32,719
» So you
>> I'll make the motion that we issue

939
01:24:30,080 --> 01:24:35,600
temporary occupancy in the clinic for
the use.

940
01:24:33,840 --> 01:24:40,080
» All right. Do I have a second for that
motion?

941
01:24:37,840 --> 01:24:44,239
» Multiple seconds.
>> Uh all in favor say I.

942
01:24:42,639 --> 01:24:47,520
» Okay. Stand tight.
>> What what is what is temporary? I mean

943
01:24:46,480 --> 01:24:52,000
what what period of time
>> in the out getting in the outcome

944
01:24:49,280 --> 01:24:56,880
decision of property
>> so actually be a commission commission.

945
01:24:55,280 --> 01:25:02,400
» So what we're doing is we're asking
we're asking these folks

946
01:24:59,040 --> 01:25:06,080
» to move without without a period of time
involved. They've got they've got till

947
01:25:04,000 --> 01:25:08,800
we come back September meeting
basically.

948
01:25:07,040 --> 01:25:12,320
» Well they would be in they would be
granted that occupancy

949
01:25:10,239 --> 01:25:16,000
» till till the September meeting till we
can vote on it. If the C Romney

950
01:25:14,320 --> 01:25:21,679
committee meets it this month, approves
it, we get we get September. So they

951
01:25:19,280 --> 01:25:25,360
would be asked to move without any
guarantee of anything until for now

952
01:25:24,880 --> 01:25:27,199
September.
>> Yes, they would be.

953
01:25:26,719 --> 01:25:34,560
» Thank you.
>> Okay. All right. U my council comment

954
01:25:31,040 --> 01:25:38,719
who who else on here wanted to speak or
anybody. [clears throat] Have I cleared

955
01:25:37,040 --> 01:25:43,520
Have I cleared the board?
>> All right. So I answer your question. So

956
01:25:41,120 --> 01:25:47,360
grant temporary oxy. I had a motion and
a second. Uh all in favor voice vote say

957

» All oppose like sign.
>> All right. Any other business come

>> Yes sir.

960
01:25:55,679 --> 01:26:04,400
» Said I'd just like to take a moment.
Thank y'all for your service uh working

961
01:26:00,960 --> 01:26:09,374

With that said, Commissioner Hansen,
will you give us a motion to adjourn?

964
01:26:13,199 --> 01:26:16,239
» Motion second.
