[0:02] Good morning everybody. Welcome to the
September 3rd, 2026 Rockingham County
[0:07] Board of Commissioners meeting. I call
the meeting to order and ask everyone to
[0:10] rise for the pledge of allegiance.
>> I aliance to the flag of the United
[0:16] States of America and to [clears throat]
the republic for which it stands, one
[0:20] nation under God, indivisible, with
liberty and justice for all.
[0:25] » Thanks everyone.
Full house today. Always nice to see and
[0:30] all three commissioners are here. Um
[clears throat]
[0:33] and so with that uh we can begin with
the consent agenda and uh first we have
[0:38] some meeting minutes to approve.
>> I'll make a motion and approve the
[0:42] August 19th, 2026 and the August 27,
2026 public and non-public minutes.
[0:49] » Second
>> discussion
[0:52] good.
>> Thank you as always. on the motion.
[0:56] Commissioner Trello. Yes. Commissioner
Gadu. Yes. And I vote yes.
[1:00] » Next we have the September 3rd, 2026 AP
list.
[1:03] » I make a motion approve the September
3rd 2026 accounts payable list for total
[1:10] of 1,558,994
[1:15] 12.
>> Second
[1:17] » discussion.
No, that half of this is a recclass from
[1:22] the year end of um the 2026 which was
prepaid expenses for 2017.
[1:28] » Yeah, since expenses are being
technically recorded, that's why they're
[1:31] back on the list, but the board did
approve all the original AP warrants on
[1:35] prior um AP,
>> right?
[1:37] » And so that's half of the AP run
motion. Commissioner Gabu.
[1:43] » Yes.
>> Commissioner Tom and I vote yes.
[1:46] » Thank you.
Okay, next [clears throat] we'll move
[1:48] into reports, gentlemen.
[1:53] » I don't have anything specific to report
right now. Thank you.
[1:57] » I I did attend or at least somewhat
attend the uh
[2:02] » the 91A.
>> I think you were there in person.
[2:06] » I you were not.
>> No, I
[2:10] I did I did collect a few interesting
items. Every time you look at 91A,
[2:16] there's something different.
[clears throat] Anyway,
[2:18] » um but uh it it was a good conference. I
just didn't realize when we signed up
[2:22] for it that was like 9 to three, right?
You know, so I well I'll tell you that I
[2:28] was there for the whole 9 to three, but
I was there.
[2:30] » But every bit you get is like I feel
like any bit you take you get you
[2:34] participate in is more information to
gather. It really is. I mean, and it's
[2:38] so voluminous and so complicated that um
the more you can get educated on it, the
[2:44] better, I think, for all of us.
>> Agreed.
[2:46] » I know we talked about um and I think
it's we really should explore like a a
[2:51] 91A
expert position. So, that's going to
[2:56] [laughter]
want that to be my full-time job. No,
[2:59] but I mean we I do think it's come to a
point that we should consider, you know,
[3:03] we talked about this having someone
designated as like that handles 91A,
[3:08] collects them and
>> and you know, obviously everybody's
[3:12] going to have a port a point person
within their department that sort of
[3:16] like feels this.
Um, you know, I don't know.
[3:22] I haven't fleshed it all out and I don't
know if universally across the county
[3:26] like both the demand and that like that
the departments want it as well as the
[3:31] there's enough business requests coming
in to to necessitate it. But I do think
[3:38] we need to like take a different
approach or maybe look at a different
[3:42] approach to manage it because it is so
it seems like increasingly bulliness and
[3:48] um and very technical.
>> So I guess we'll have
[3:54] » no that was all good. Um and I'm having
some conversations with uh our cleaning
[4:01] folks which I think we're smoothing all
that out. So great. Um, if anybody has
[4:07] complaints or something going on, uh,
>> call you directly.
[4:10] » Yeah, call. Let me know.
>> I'll second that.
[4:12] » No, seriously.
>> His phone number is [laughter]
[4:16] I'm happy to field it. You know, I've
got a communication line and uh, but it
[4:21] really should go to Jude if there's uh,
you know, a significant issue.
[4:25] » 86718.
[laughter]
[4:28] » We talked about 90 Oh, I'm sorry.
>> That's it. I'm good.
[4:30] » 918. I remember years ago we had
somebody from the Department of Labor
[4:35] come in and give us the dos and don'ts.
I remember we did that a few years back,
[4:40] a bunch of years back.
>> It wasn't about 91A. It was actually
[4:43] about the payroll laws and about time
cards and about timeliness of payments,
[4:47] timeliness of contributions and things
like that.
[4:50] » But a lot from that, I I think that
would be something to reach out to them
[4:54] because it shows that we're interested
to kind of keep us from getting where we
[4:58] don't belong. Would you guys agree to
have somebody come in and just give us
[5:02] some pointers? Because we we got a lot
from I remember that years ago,
[5:06] » you know, what we were doing right, what
we were doing wrong.
[5:09] » That'd be great.
>> Sometimes it helps when a third party
[5:12] and not just whether it's HR or finance
actually saying something.
[5:16] » That would be great.
>> We look into that. Maybe get back to us.
[5:19] We'll pick a day to have them come in.
It was actually really good.
[5:22] » Yeah, I'm fine with that. That would be
great.
[5:26] And it shows that we're interested to
not go the wrong way by having them come
[5:30] in. I don't think it hurts because they
be like, "Well, I'm going to Rockingham
[5:34] to do a little training on Department of
Labor issues, good and bad."
[5:38] » That's great. Like, and more education
the better, frankly. Like,
[5:43] » excellent. Commissioner Tumbrell, do you
have anything else?
[5:46] » Uh, just good luck to all the elected
officials [snorts] uh next Tuesday. Vote
[5:50] vote often.
>> Vote once.
[5:55] Elliot of Austin, right?
>> Good luck to everything. That's all.
[5:59] » Good luck to you, Commissioner Camaro as
well. But um I uh just in terms of we're
[6:04] in survey, so the state is here and um I
will let each all the departments talk
[6:12] more specifically about it, but my
overall impression is that it's gone
[6:17] extremely well. Um I think if anything
um the takeaway is how much the
[6:24] departments support each other
specifically you know um Jude's team
[6:28] helping long-term supporting long-term
care both obviously we have life safety
[6:32] and we have um the actual survey of
long-term care but um there are just all
[6:38] these like small moments of of support
and kindness that we see between the
[6:44] departments and it's really just like a
beautiful thing I know like um Robin
[6:50] deserves some particular credit because
she really uh came through in the clutch
[6:54] and I know other members of your team
were particularly um impactful. Um the
[7:01] long-term t care team just has done an
outstanding job and um I you know um it
[7:10] really I think we're going to end up in
a really good place coming out of
[7:13] survey. So, um, the other thing is we,
uh, long-term care just submitted their
[7:18] annual report, and I think it's, and
this is just a example of what we're
[7:24] seeing across the county, which is like
the annual reports are kind of a great
[7:28] thing in that not only does it give you
information to our, you know, to our
[7:33] community, but it also is like a nice
reflection of how much gets accomplished
[7:38] in one year. you know, when we're all in
the weeds and you're like digging at it,
[7:41] it's like hard to recognize how much um
how much change has occurred. And when
[7:46] you do that summary over the year, you
really see how much progress has been
[7:50] made and like that's like pretty
remarkable when you're like in the weeds
[7:55] that you that you can lose sight of. and
it came forward with long-term care with
[8:00] even um the IV all the work we did to
get IV cert certification so that we can
[8:06] give IVs to residents which is um and
that ended up being part of survey and a
[8:12] successful you know uh evaluation but um
we didn't have that here before this
[8:19] past year so it's a big change anyway so
great progress
[8:24] here open everything you know, continues
to go on the same great great trend.
[8:31] That is my
>> great. [sighs]
[8:34] » Okay, with that we can move on to
Department of Corrections. We have a
[8:37] travel and training request for the um
for the New Hampshire Association of
[8:42] Counties Con. Make a motion to approve a
travel and training request for four
[8:46] department of corrections employees JBS
KA and HB to attend the New Hampshire
[8:52] Association of Counties annual
conference be held at the Mount
[8:56] Washington Sunday November 8th through
Tuesday November 10th at an estimated
[9:01] total of $6,210
is recommended by
[9:07] » second
>> discussion
[9:11] conference I I I know Department of
Corrections you have classes and stuff
[9:15] that you that we go it's it's done well
and glad everyone is participating.
[9:22] » Did these get does this get squared away
all the issues with meals? Are we
[9:26] » okay? Yeah, there was some
>> that Yeah, there was a revised revision
[9:30] came through so the appropriate amounts
were
[9:32] » fantastic.
Um on the motion, Commissioner Tumbrell.
[9:37] » Yes.
>> Commissioner Gabu.
[9:38] » Yes.
>> And I vote yes.
[9:41] Next we have finance office uh
calculation of allowance for
[9:45] uncollectible accounts. I'll make a
motion that Rockingham County increase
[9:50] the June 30, 2022 long-term tier
allowance on collectible accounts of
[9:56] 1,969,418
[10:01] an increase of $316,52.91
[10:06] in comparison to the fiscal year June
30th 2025 balance of 1,652,887.
[10:16] $7207
[10:19] as recommended by the senior director of
finance and the senior director of
[10:23] long-term care services.
>> Second
[10:25] » discussion.
>> I I had called Chuck on this. So I don't
[10:28] know if Chuck maybe we ask him. Chuck
and I had a conversation about because
[10:32] it was different than what I'm used to
seeing. So I don't know if you want.
[10:36] » Yeah. So there's an increase this year
because there were um some private pay
[10:41] accounts that either newly went into the
two years aging or greater or a greater
[10:46] portion of their account balance became
two age two years age or greater. So
[10:51] basically anything the allowance
methodology is that anything that is
[10:55] older than two years so in this case 6
uh 30 24 and before we do 100% reserve
[11:01] on. So there were some several private
pay accounts and some patient
[11:05] liabilities. So the private pay portion
of uh Medicaid went into being two years
[11:10] or greater. We didn't do also any write
offs during 2026. So that also
[11:15] contributes to the increased um
allowance balance as well. And we also
[11:20] had some Medicaid accounts that went
into um greater than two years age or
[11:25] one to two years because we also do a
50% allowance on a Medicaid that's one
[11:29] to two years. Um now Chantel relayed to
me uh last week that recently the HHS
[11:37] which has the backlog of some of these
uh determinations or redeterminations
[11:41] approve some very aged Medicaid
accounts. So the good news is when
[11:46] hopefully when we're talking about this
next year we will have done some write
[11:49] offs and we'll have actually collected
on some things that we had allowance for
[11:53] right now. And so I think that's the the
important point where even though
[11:57] they're labeled as uncollectible, it
doesn't mean there's not still efforts
[12:01] to collect. And in terms of the private
pay, we could have a lean on a property
[12:06] that even it's at, you know, for reasons
that, you know, the property is not at a
[12:12] place where it can be sold, but it means
we could still collect it out, but
[12:15] beyond that two-year period, it's mostly
an accounting.
[12:20] » Did we look Chuck? [clears throat]
Didn't we look into a company to kind of
[12:23] help us collect it and get
>> Polaris did, but sometimes um as I
[12:28] relate to sometimes, um families or
guardians don't necessarily respond to
[12:34] when the county sends out minor notices
to pay and we do have to get sometimes
[12:40] uh legal involved as well. um that
usually has garnered some better
[12:45] results, but obviously you want that
account to be of a state show amount
[12:51] that for paying legal services on for
collections, it makes it worthwhile.
[12:56] But yes, so we we and it's
right in the documentation to this board
[13:02] documentation states that even though
something's in the allowance, we haven't
[13:05] given up collection efforts. So
>> yes,
[13:07] » and there's monthly meetings that are
being had for RCM for both assisted
[13:12] living and long-term care.
>> So they're aware of all these accounts
[13:16] that are outstanding.
>> Outstanding. Thank you.
[13:20] Great.
>> Okay. Further discussion hearing none.
[13:24] Commissioner Godu. Yes. Commissioner
[clears throat] and I vote yes.
[13:27] » Thank you.
>> Next we have the amendment to fally
[13:29] funded vendor contract. I'll make a
motion to approve the contract
[13:34] amendments to the original agreements
for Novous Engineering Inc. and
[13:38] authorize the chair sign all necessary
documents and recommend seeing to
[13:42] approve finance.
>> Second
[13:44] » discussion.
This is purely proforma to be compliant
[13:49] with the federal requirements and if you
read it it's like very uh federal uh
[13:57] USC specific [laughter]
terms. So
[14:01] um any other discussion hearing? None.
Commissioner Tumbrella, Commissioner
[14:06] Gandu. Yes.
>> And I vote yes.
[14:07] » Thank you.
>> Uh we have human resources a um
[14:12] regarding an MOU and I take a motion to
table that now.
[14:16] » I'll make a motion to table item four.
Second.
[14:20] » Any discussion? Hearing none.

[15:08] » Yes.
>> Commissioner W.
[15:10] » Yes.
>> And I vote yes.
[15:12] » Next we have a travel and training
request for long-term care services.
[15:17] I'll make a motion to approve a travel
and training request for four long-term
[15:21] care employees CD K
AM EW and award and an award recipient

Counties annual conference to be held at
[15:34] Tommy Mount Washington Resort from

[15:40] Tuesday, November 10th, 2026 at an
estimated total cost of 6,100. $152.60
[15:48] as recommended by the senior director of
long-term care services.
[15:52] » Second
>> discussion.
[15:55] » Uh it's a the numbers are almost
identical to the four for uh DOC. So
[16:00] it's like well calculated that delta is
attributed to mileage they're coming
[16:06] from. So that's you know when you see
that alignment it um [clears throat]
[16:11] is gives you confidence on the motion.
Commissioner Gadu. Yes.
[16:15] » Commissioner Trello.
>> Yes. And I vote yes.
[16:18] » Next we have a travel and training for

respon reposting of the RFP as
[17:11] recommended by the registry of deeds.
>> Second
[17:14] » discussion.
I'm not sure I know why this needs to be
[17:19] redone. Although I trust the register
deeds Kathy Stacy that this is something
[17:25] that needs to change. I I don't know why
we're rejecting it. I just didn't see
[17:29] any paperwork on it.
>> There we technical issues with the bids.
[17:33] » Yeah. Okay.
>> But it's probably back there's only two.
[17:39] » I think it's going to go back to

[17:44] » Yes. to Commissioner Tom Brown and I
vote yes.
[17:49] » Department head updates cruising right
along. Chuck, do you want to lead us
[17:53] off?
>> I'm very busy as usual. Um the county
[17:56] did receive its tax aortionment.
[snorts] So that's good news. I did some
[17:59] analysis um that the board can have for
changes between years between the the 37
[18:05] communities. Um busy with audits as
usual. Uh grants, new round of
[18:10] corrections grants. Um notice of funding
opportunities are coming out. So in the
[18:14] coming weeks there could be some
requests to apply for various DOC
[18:18] grants. Um some cover some things are
similar to that public safety mental
[18:22] health initiative grant and the CASUP
grant. Um but I know that John I mean
[18:28] Madison is on top of it and John does
want to John Manville wants to pursue
[18:32] some of them. Also the uh notice of
funding opportunity for the FY26 Jag
[18:38] came out and this time the town of Salem
also qualifies. Sylvie, Derry, Salem,
[18:43] and Forz have recipients. Madison's
already reaching out to them. So, she
[18:47] has to look up the contact for Salem
because Salem hasn't qualified for a
[18:51] while.
>> No, they haven't. So,
[18:53] » yeah. So, she's reached out to three
communities because we'll develop
[18:57] with them.
>> Well, in hand with the numbers and see
[18:59] them just
>> uh let's see also busy with Medicaid
[19:04] Medicare cost reports because the
Medicaid costs due at the end of this
[19:08] month to New York DHS. Medicare is not
due until the end of November, but we
[19:13] still have to pull together some of the
items right now. Um, so again, just
[19:18] overall very busy with things. Thank
you.
[19:20] » Thank you, Jude.
>> Good [clears throat] morning. All is
[19:24] well in facilities operations. Um, we've
been having fun with survey as well.
[19:29] Life Safety did their um review of our
documentation and did a walk through
[19:36] Tuesday and part of yesterday till 11
time. And um they had one finding down
[19:42] in dietary when the kitchen hoods were
recently cleaned a couple of weeks ago.
[19:46] The contractor pushes the nozzles back
to clean the hood and on one of the
[19:50] hoods they failed to bring them back. We
should have seen it. It's our
[19:54] responsibility. They're supposed to do
it. So um that's the only deficiency
[19:59] that came through from Lexi. He was very
complimentary.
[20:02] » Um really gives us a lot of credit for
responding when things come up. The guys
[20:07] are doing a great job. They clearly have
pride in their work inside and outside
[20:10] of the building. Even though he was like
safety, he's like, "You guys have a lot
[20:14] of pride in what's happening. We've only
got two out of four grounds people on
[20:17] staff right now." So, I was sure to pass
that on. I was just overall very proud
[20:21] of the whole team. They did a terrific
job and we're happy about it. We're
[20:26] waiting to see what happens with um
long-term care. Fingers crossed. Um
[20:31] Driscoll elevator is out of service.
There is a hydraulic leak in the slab
[20:38] somewhere between the
the hydraulic containment tank. It goes
[20:44] through the slab and then up into the
elevator. I'm waiting for pricing. It's
[20:48] meaningful. Um the the long care is
working around it easily enough. I've
[20:53] had no complaints at all and I
appreciate your patience. I really do.
[20:57] Um they've given us one estimate which
was on the order of $50,000.
[21:03] Um they're hoping to come in next week
to look at it with a potential
[21:07] alternative um that may include cutting
through the slab instead of going
[21:11] aerally, but aerally was, you know, 130
ft of pipe and 13 fittings. It would
[21:16] need a bigger pump because they would
have to pump it up, which would mean a
[21:18] bigger containment tank, etc., etc. So,
we're working on it. It's going to be a
[21:22] little while on it.
>> Options are repipe
[21:26] vertically.
>> Yes.
[21:28] » Or cutting the slab and mend the
>> Yes. And it's been there since 92. So
[21:33] it's a little uncertain how because it's
not a straight shot. It goes somehow
[21:38] across the corer, but we don't know.
>> Yeah, the asbuilt is like a dotted line
[21:44] [clears throat] someplace around here.
[laughter] So we're working on it.
[21:49] » That concrete saw is going to like
really work. It's
[21:53] » 150 feet and 15 fittings. So you don't
know which one let go. J and I had a
[21:58] talk this morning about it. So that's a
perfect contingency
[22:01] » amount and we don't foresee that a pipe
would break in the slab. So
[22:05] » the people that we use to cut the
concrete actually have a um like a radar
[22:09] type thing. They found piping for us in
the jail when working to be done. It's
[22:12] pretty slick.
>> So cool.
[22:13] » So I'm hoping that they'll be able to
help us like cut to the chase on it
[22:18] » literally and
you can't use that radiator leak stuff
[22:22] to your foot. [laughter]
[22:25] » Fixes the leak.
>> Were you going to hold your tire? Yeah.
[22:28] [laughter]
Zip that tape that's
[22:32] » fix it flat.
>> The guy with the boat with the black
[22:34] stuff.
>> Just what you need the commissioners to
[22:38] triage.
>> You know how to [laughter] fix it.
[22:41] » That's awesome. Thank you.
>> We'll be here all day.
[22:46] » Interviews for the office administrator
are going very well. We've interviewed
[22:49] four and expect to push two on next week
to second interviews. Autumn's been
[22:54] wonderful. Um Katie Casey's been very
helpful from the finance department
[22:58] because clearly there's a lot of um
financial implications to that position.
[23:02] Robin Bernier and I it's gone well.
We've had some really really strong
[23:06] candidates. So I'm excited to think that
we might find someone that's a good fit
[23:10] for all of us because that's important.
Um over here today they put a card
[23:16] reader on the Lula so um employees can
use the handicap elevator to get down
[23:23] into the Lula and a person coming in
from outside cannot. So it's another
[23:28] security measure. Um it they were
working on it this morning. I don't know
[23:31] that it's working but when it is it'll
be an all employees deal just like the
[23:35] door. [clears throat] It is good. It's
another security feature. um access it,
[23:40] which is the um door release camera
um integration has been installed on the
[23:48] two receptionist desks in county
attorney. It's not turned on yet, but
[23:52] it's been installed. They'll be
installing it on yours today or
[23:55] tomorrow. Hopefully this afternoon. Um
training will be next week. Gigantic
[23:59] step. We're so excited to have that
done. We'll be able to secure the
[24:02] elevator so you can't get on the
continuous floor unless they let you.
[24:07] Um, and none of the employees will be
able to get on the floor whether or not
[24:09] they do. So, it's it's a really nice
security measure. Um, and after that, I
[24:14] think right now the elevator shuts off
at 5:00, but when county attorney's
[24:17] floor is secure, we could probably talk
about what time because then we're only
[24:20] keeping it available for your
department. So, we'll confer with deeds
[24:24] and see what time we think the elevator
should be shut off. Right now, it goes
[24:27] until 5. You can just come in and hit
the button. So, we'll be working on
[24:31] that. Um the master stations were
installed at Charles Dispatch yesterday
[24:36] and they're you know working on some
issues with the captain but essentially
[24:41] there is a station that the dispatchers
have that will show them a range of
[24:45] cameras certain views outside somebody
hits a button at the door they can speak
[24:49] to them and they can let them in. So
again it's a nice security measure
[24:54] tightening up the building and they can
control who's coming in and they don't
[24:57] have to get up and let someone in the
door. So all of these are like the
[25:01] things we've been waiting for for a
really long time. We're very excited to
[25:04] have it come into [clears throat] play.
Next week we'll be training and um we're
[25:08] getting there. We're getting there with
A3 with um honey
[25:12] scenes. That's a little bit lower
progress, but we're getting there. So
[25:17] » great. I mean this stuff is like
nittygritty time consuming
[25:23] coming together. Yeah. Great. And and
everyone's been so patient. Seriously,
[25:26] if I was living in this since November,
I wouldn't be as nice as some of us have
[25:30] been. So, I really do appreciate it.
We're getting there.
[25:34] » It'll be your longest update ever.
>> I [laughter] know. I'm pretty excited.
[25:39] And I was here last week.
>> Yeah, it's great.
[25:42] » I only have one.
>> I'm ready to be a politician. You're
[25:44] going really good.
[laughter]
[25:47] » Thank you. Thank you, J Major.
>> Uh, everything's going very well at the
[25:52] at the jail. Um, our facility count
right now is 215 inhouse. Um, it's been
[25:59] staying pretty steady between 215 225
lately. So,
[26:03] » what' you say today? 215.
>> 250.
[26:05] » Yes.
>> That's in house.
[26:07] » 2 what? 15.
>> 215. Yes.
[26:09] » Okay. I wasn't sure. I thought I heard
250 for a second. I was having
[26:15] [clears throat]
>> um gets a little closer to to that
[26:18] number in the weekends. Um we have a lot
of we're just doing a lot of hiring
[26:22] right now. We got a lot of applicants
right now. Um seven candidates in the
[26:26] process. Uh we have one starting the 8th
and
[26:32] um we got a couple interviews next week.
So probably about nine candidates in
[26:38] line for us which will be very helpful.
[clears throat] Um I want to thank the
[26:44] sheriff's department for their help on
Tuesday with the search of the jail.
[26:47] That was very very helpful. And uh we
appreciate it.
[26:52] » Great. Thank you,
Major.
[26:56] » Nothing for me. [laughter]
>> Sure.
[26:58] » Nothing for me.
>> Nice.
[27:01] » All right. Elaine.
>> Hi everyone. I'm here on behalf of
[27:05] Shantel. She's doing an exit interview.
As you all know, the state is here this
[27:09] week. Uh Tuesday, Wednesday, hopefully
leaving very soon. Maybe by the time I
[27:14] return, she will have more of an update.
Uh it's been a very busy day and I want
[27:18] to reiterate that the other departments
within the county have been extremely
[27:22] helpful and we're very grateful for
that. Among our staff, they also have
[27:27] been jumping the gun. Just whenever
something's asked for, they're there. Um
[27:31] we've worked really hard to hopefully
have a good survey. So, uh fingers
[27:35] crossed we'll get good news here this
afternoon. That's great.
[27:38] » Shantel did want me to let everybody
know that the pie in the face is going
[27:42] to be extended due to survey being here
for three days. So, um, and then I think
[27:48] that was it that she asked me to report.
>> Thank you.
[27:53] » Good morning.
>> Who's wait,
[27:56] » do you have an update on the pilot face?
Like, who's in the lead?
[28:00] » At one point it was
everybody's fighting. [laughter]
[28:06] » I got to see that.
>> How much money you putting in that
[28:10] thing?
>> I'm waiting to see how much they bid on
[28:12] you.
>> [laughter]
[28:13] » You think they're safe?
[28:21] [laughter]
[28:25] » You're not going to pay it off. So, you
don't have to eat the pie.
[28:28] » We have a gym in a shower if you'd like.
[laughter]
[28:32] » I love it.
>> Okay. I'm sorry. Go ahead.
[28:36] » Good morning. I'm sorry I was late. I
didn't realize you guys really got
[28:38] through the agenda pretty quick today.
>> Impressive. Impressive. Um,
[28:44] not too much. Same old, same old. Cannot
wait for September to be over. Then I'll
[28:48] have all my staff back from all their
vacations and we'll be able to, you
[28:51] know, move along. Kind of, you know, you
struggle a little bit because, you know,
[28:54] you have so many people out at one time.
But other than that, it's been pretty
[28:58] quiet. I wanted to ask Jude a question.
I was told that we have recycling of
[29:02] paper and cardboard. We have we have a
special area for that. Correct.
[29:06] » It's single stream recycling. It's a
separate dumpster.
[29:09] » Okay. So if you use your um recycling
bins, this is true of everyone in all of
[29:14] the buildings. We got single stream a
couple three years ago.
[29:17] » Um the custodians will put it in the
recycle.
[29:22] » Well, we need to have a conversation uh
regarding the the cleaning folks because
[29:27] the message I was told they didn't have
separate places to put they do
[29:31] » recycling. So absolutely they need to be
instructed.
[29:34] » So I'll take care of it.
>> Yeah. Other than that, um business as
[29:37] usual. Uh, Commissioner Gard about the
rejection of the bid.
[29:42] » Oh, yes. Oh, yeah. So, yeah. So, I had I
I there [clears throat] was some
[29:47] confusion over the over the language in
the bid. So, I want to throw it all the
[29:51] way out and go and rebid it. So, part of
it was my m, you know, my error in how
[29:56] I've drafted it up and as well as the
interpretation by the the two companies
[30:00] that bid.
>> Well, we can slow down and just make
[30:02] sure we get it right. So, no problem.
>> I appreciate that very much. Thank you.
[30:06] » That's it.
>> Thank you. Julie.
[30:09] » Hello. Hi.
>> Um, so I am just letting everyone know I
[30:14] think a notice went out, but the
scarecrows, so the theme this year,
[30:18] nursery rhyme and fairy tales, um, they
will be passed out next week to all
[30:23] departments and they're due back on
October 5th. So hopefully that gives
[30:27] plenty of time to get them done.
And um HR does not have our
[30:35] our settled topic yet. So just there was
some um shade thrown on HR about that.
[30:41] So I just wanted to publicly announce
that that we already had our our topic
[30:45] set.
>> Oh. Oh yeah. Have a scape.
[30:48] » Yeah. We don't know in advance. We don't
set it in advance. [laughter]
[30:53] » Not there's no insider training.
Okay.
[30:57] » No. Um and then um Eileen is calling
people. We're still getting some RSVPs
[31:02] for the years of service event. Um we do
have a good selection of employees
[31:08] coming. We've had some good response. So
looks like there's going to be I think
[31:11] she said like 70 72 people still coming.
So good.
[31:15] » Y

[31:18] » Thank you.
