[0:40] Any opposed? Motion carries. Okay.
Third, we're on to public requests for
[0:46] anyone that has anything in public
request.
[0:53] » You want me over here? It's weird on
this side. Um, good morning everybody.
[0:58] I'm Vicki Markwart. I'm the chairman of
the Otto County Commission and I'm also
[1:01] the president of the Arizona New Mexico
Coalition of Counties. So, I'm here
[1:05] today to give a an award to Tina Dixon.
She was voted as our commissioner of the
[1:10] year for 2024. The plaque says the
Coalition of Arizona New Mexico County
[1:15] counties recognized Tina Dixon, New
Mexico Commissioner of the Year 2024.
[1:19] Um, I know you all know Tina very well.
I've gotten to know her really well in
[1:24] the last few years and um I know that
you know she does a lot of work outside
[1:28] of Roosevelt County. So you guys should
be really proud of her because as
[1:31] commissioners you know it's kind of a
heavy lift but when you go above and
[1:34] beyond and you do stuff outside of New
Mexico to fight for New Mexico it makes
[1:39] a big difference. Um recently Tina was
one of the big spearheads to head up the
[1:44] um resolution that we did in Washington
for the National Interest Electronic
[1:48] Transmission Corridor, which I we really
got some positive feedback there and it
[1:52] it passed at the general meeting in July
in Philadelphia. So all 3,000 counties
[1:57] that are represented by Nico supported
our resolution. So and Tina was a huge
[2:03] part of that. So good job Tina. So, I
just wanted to congratulate her and
[2:07] congratulations Roosevelt County for
having picked an awesome commissioner.
[2:16] » Thank you.
>> Thank you.
[2:17] » Thank you.
>> Love you, girl.
[2:18] » Love you.
>> Hey, I got to get on the road because I
[2:21] got a meeting at 1 and I have to be
back.
[2:24] » Thank you for coming.
>> Thank you so much. Thank you.
[2:27] » All right. See you tomorrow in
Farmington. Hey, how are you?
[2:31] » How are you?
>> Okay.
[2:33] » Congratulations. Thank you.
>> Well, I'd just like to add in to hers. I
[2:38] know you do step outside the county a
lot and you do a lot for this commission
[2:44] representing uh in different areas and I
think you do a fantastic job where I
[2:49] certainly wouldn't want to travel as
much as you. So, I really appreciate
[2:52] what you do for us.
>> Thank you.
[2:56] Thank you very much.

And also in this batch, I have an
[7:05] indigent burial.
Um, back on July 8th, Wheeler Mortuary
[7:10] informed me of a unclaimed resident of
Roosevelt County. Upon further research,
[7:15] it was discovered that he was a resident
of Coronado Care Center, the nursing
[7:20] home. Um, we verified that he is
indigent. He had no estate. No probate
[7:25] has been filed.
[7:28] and then I can um give you a recap of
FY25 of our totals.
[7:35] Yes.
>> Um on the indigent cornado, I know a lot
[7:39] of those folks come from other counties
and does that automatically make them a
[7:45] resident here if they came from another
county?
[7:47] » Yes.
>> Yeah. Unfortunately.
[7:50] » Thank you.
>> You're welcome.
[7:52] » On the healthcare assistant program, do

do have three interviews tomorrow. Um
[9:45] we've been inter we've been
advertising on Indeed, but I think we're
[9:50] going to start trying a few other things
for the road department. see if we can
[9:52] get a little bit different
people coming in with some applications.
[9:57] So, we're going to start doing that this
week. Um, other than that, I think we're
[10:02] fully staffed everywhere else. So,
perfect.
[10:06] » Thank you.
[10:10] » Anybody have anything for Mary?
Okay.
[10:14] » We're going to hire the fairgrounds
person.
[10:17] » Okay. That's one of the open.
>> Thank you.
[10:23] » Moving on to department head reports.
There's no reports from compliance,
[10:27] detention, DWI, maintenance, Matt, road,
or special projects.
[10:32] Does anybody have any questions for any
of them, even though they don't have a
[10:36] report?
>> Go ahead. Okay.
[10:41] one. I got a call yesterday that said
the state highway department said that
[10:45] they were going to add stripes, speed
limit signs, and a speed limit trailer
[10:50] out there at that intersection of 6 and
88.
[10:55] Have you are we doing anything with a
flashing stop sign, rumble strips, or
[10:59] anything like that?
>> I got a I got rumble strips ordered.
[11:02] They're the way they should be here
about a week and a half.
[11:05] » Okay. So,
>> is there any plans for lighted stop
[11:07] signs or no? Uh, those are probably
about 1,400 a piece. So, that's what I
[11:14] was going to ask y'all. What do y'all
think?
[11:19] » Stop.
>> The flashing.
[11:27] » How many How many you want to put them?
>> Two.
[11:31] » It's not necessarily me. It's just Mr.
Hayes and Miss Carter. They came and
[11:35] they were asking me about it again. So,
I had no idea they were going to be
[11:39] $1,400 a piece.
[11:43] » Can we do the rumble strips for now? See
what that what that does.
[11:47] » If it helps
and put one set right at the stop ahead
[11:52] and then if we need to, we'll put
another set in between the stop sign and
[11:55] the stop ahead.
>> Both of those both directions marked
[11:57] stop ahead.
[12:05] That's all I have.
one. Where are we at on uh blades
[12:12] road after all these running?
>> Okay, so you'll probably notice that
[12:16] they're jumping around,
>> but they're trying to cover school bus
[12:19] routes. So, I got one moving to this
morning, one working on AP and 19 for
[12:26] the bus route, one working on
30 and AM, also a bus route, one on M
[12:33] and 30 all the way to 33. and he'll be
moving back towards Dora to get road in
[12:39] for the bus route there. So, he's going
to jump from over there back this way,
[12:43] but he'll be moving tomorrow and then
one on bigger edition and then one on 21
[12:48] and H.
And then of course the Khichi group.
[12:54] » What about uh 35
>> 35
[12:57] » off of 20? Did he hit that? Uh
>> no, he's moving that way right now. He's
[13:01] » going south.
>> Yeah, he's going south. And then as soon
[13:03] as he gets there, we're going to haul
Khichi to the mud holes out there. We've
[13:07] been hauling Khichi to Sundial Valley
area and then we're trying to get road
[13:11] 10, but every time we get there, it's
soaking wet. But then we're did P then
[13:16] we're going to do Mlin. So there's
several. We still got a splat.
[13:20] » That's people calling.
>> I told we're trying to do the best we
[13:24] can.
>> Yeah.
[13:26] » Yeah. This rain's been tough, but we'll
get through it.
[13:30] All right. Anybody
else?
[13:36] » And then I've been getting a lot of all
and we had it's out of our control since
[13:41] all the rain
>> about the barage is being grown up and
[13:45] wildlife and a few caves and stuff
bouncing out of those weeds and stuff on
[13:49] kind of roads. Well, it's out of our
control as far as stuff the way. Just be
[13:53] glad we've got weeds in the bar just
know.
[13:57] » All right. Thank you.
Okay, moving on. Manager Patterson.
[14:05] » Morning again.
>> Good morning.
[14:07] » So, uh, we did a final walk through
yesterday of the EOC. Um, all they had
[14:13] left was to put a new knob on one of the
doors, I believe, and then it should be
[14:18] getting cleaned today. The floors are
getting sealed today. Um, and then
[14:23] they've already got the certificate of
occupancy
[14:27] should be getting turned over to us.
We're trying to set up a
[14:32] Oh, thank you. Sorry. Trying to set up
another meeting uh with uh Nixon and the
[14:38] architect for out at the fairgrounds to
see what it's going to take to get that
[14:43] finished up before the the fair.
Um and then other than that we just uh
[14:49] keep working on normal daily stuff.
>> Okay.
[14:54] » What is the occupancy of that building
>> of the EOC?
[14:58] » Mhm.
>> Uh I know we said something at the very
[15:04] first time I was out there, but I don't
remember what what it is off top my
[15:08] head. Is sheriff's not here?
>> Yeah, he is. But he was shaking his head
[15:12] also.
>> He has no either. Okay. I know it was
[15:15] like a comment in passing. For some
reason, I think 120 is sticking in my
[15:19] head, but I'm not positive.
>> So, plenty for in the event of a major
[15:22] crime.
>> Yes, sir.
[15:28] » That it?
>> Yes, ma'am.
[15:30] » But you have any questions for the
manager?
[15:33] » Okay, go for it.
>> Um, I'm sorry. I wrote down a lot of
[15:38] questions before we came here, but
>> I see that notebook.
[15:42] » Have you considered This idea was
actually brought to me by my wife. Um,
[15:48] we did this once before, but have you
considered a meet and greet with the
[15:51] city manager setting that up? Maybe
getting to know some of the community. I
[15:55] know you're super busy right now, but
maybe in an effort to build relations
[15:59] between the city and county and, you
know, have a partnership going there and
[16:03] introduce yourself to the community.
Yep.
[16:05] » So, I did have lunch with him and a few
others. the uh uh Clovis city manager,
[16:12] assistant city manager, the clo uh Curry
County manager. Uh we all had a little
[16:17] meeting uh in my office and then we went
across to the uh courthouse cafe. Um
[16:24] mainly it was in reference to the uh
Horizons, which I didn't mean to say
[16:29] that they're doing a groundbreaking this
Friday at 2 for Horizons, which I'll be
[16:33] in attendance. Um and they would love it
if any of you could show up. Um,
[16:40] so we're trying. I'm I'm gonna try to
get out a little bit more. It's been a
[16:44] little crazy. Uh, hopefully it's going
to calm down soon. Um, but there's, as
[16:51] you guys are all aware, there's a lot to
still dive into and try to get straight
[16:55] figured out.
[16:59] » Thank you.
>> Yes, sir. That's all.
[17:02] » Are you sure
>> for now?
[17:07] » Moving on. time with questions.
>> Not don't put you on the spot. Just call
[17:12] you ahead.
>> That's fine, too.
[17:19] » I did do a chamber interview. That is
correct.
[17:21] » Oh, yeah. I saw.
Okay.
[17:26] All right. Moving on to commissioners.
Anybody have anything?
[17:30] » Not here.
All right.
[17:34] this morning. First off, this morning I
was on a Zoom meeting with cattle
[17:39] growers and a few other commissioners
about the uh Netsy the National
[17:45] Electronic
Core, you know, transmission corridor
[17:49] going on and um
this administration
[17:54] has squashed it for now
uh for now. But we are work we're going
[18:01] to start working on some maybe see if we
can't get some amendments
[18:06] maybe taken out of a I can't forgot what
what ruling it was in anyway but we'll
[18:14] see if we can't get some amendments
taken out to where
[18:17] » it'll help keep the previous
administrations from coming in there and
[18:23] maybe doing such of a wide path and
stuff like that. But as far as right
[18:28] now, that's why kind of what we earned
this morning.
[18:32] But uh who did you say squashed it for
now? This administration for right now.
[18:37] And like I say, it could get brought
back up. You know, I'm not saying, you
[18:41] know, for right now, it looks like it is
going to get squashed. So, calling that
[18:46] a plus for right now.
>> It could.
[18:49] » And uh that's what kind of what what I
learned this morning. Um,
[18:56] we got the fair coming up. I do know
there's uh
[19:02] Bob don't have a cleanup day and stuff
and uh
[19:05] anyway and I was wanting to make sure
Drew knew about the activities that's
[19:09] going to be in the outside arena where
he could get with Juan and they're
[19:13] supposed to have a big barrel race out
there in the outside arena. May want to
[19:18] work that up a little bit.
>> We got it fairly clean already. They
[19:21] just need to be worked over and far in
Williamsville. It's they're knocked
[19:26] down.
>> Yeah. And so, but anyway, uh got a lot
[19:29] of stuff coming up here in the next
month, you know. So, anyway, and I do
[19:33] appreciate what Drew's his efforts and
stuff, what he's been doing.
[19:39] » It's definitely been a team effort. Uh
Mary, what's the cleanup day again?
[19:44] » The 11th at 8:00 a.m. is our cleanup
day.
[19:47] » Monday the at what time?
>> 8.
[19:53] Okay. Um, so I had been to the um, New
Mexico Arizona coalition meeting um,
[20:03] that was actually in Arizona this time.
Um, it was a good meeting. We also found
[20:09] that um, the
Mu Gouya that thing is is done. It's
[20:16] over as well by this administration.
Um, so I have coming up on tomorrow I'll
[20:25] be leaving because I go back to the New
Mexico county's meeting. It is in um
[20:30] Farmington. So I'll leave tomorrow and
I'll be gone for two days to that. Um I
[20:37] will not be here on the 11th as I'll be
in Santa Fe on the 11th, but I will be
[20:42] at the cleanup day for um they're having
another cleanup day. I think it's with
[20:49] the extension office is going to be on
the 9th. So, I am going to go do my
[20:54] cleanup stuff, my duties out there on
the 9th. So, I won't be on the 11th, but
[20:58] I will be out there on the 9th. Um, I
wanted to thank the um detention center
[21:04] for sending the detainees out. They've
been out in Alida working on the
[21:08] cemetery and stuff and we greatly
appreciate that. that's on a volunteer
[21:13] basis out there. So, it gets pretty ged
up and stuff, but I do appreciate all
[21:17] their work and things that they've been
doing to help us up out there. And since
[21:22] it's throw your spouse under the bus
day, I'm going to throw mine under the
[21:26] bus. So, I had um talked to them about
the
[21:32] Ute water project where they're tearing
up the roads around the fairgrounds and
[21:38] I had asked and um to make sure that
they were going to have all of those
[21:43] roads passable and not closed going into
the fairgrounds. And so since he is on
[21:48] the board, I did go through him and he
said that he did check and that they
[21:52] will have those roads open and passable.
They won't be finished, but they will
[21:58] open them up and have them be passable
for us to get into the fairgrounds.
[22:04] Was there anything else on that, Dard?
[22:09] » He said it just be a temporary.
[22:15] » Okay.
Okay.
[22:18] » I probably need to get him a date when
or whoever may be starting to get in
[22:25] there because that'll be ahead of
>> right and the actual fair we start
[22:29] taking stuff on the 17th. So
probably around the 14th or 15th I would
[22:36] have her done.
Okay.
[22:38] » Can I ask him a question since you
already threw him under the bus?
[22:41] » Just go right ahead.
So a lot of those roads like where
[22:44] they've already completed the projects
like at three and R and stuff like that.
[22:49] I mean it's passable but it's not where
it was when they cut it. Is that
[22:54] scheduled? Are they going to go back and
repave all that or
[22:57] » so? My understanding is yes that uh they
go in patch get them pass full let
[23:04] everything settle make sure get back
and finish them up. So
[23:14] I don't know a timeline no I can ask
>> started working on him last week they're
[23:21] actually going to dig down that
intersection 12 in then repack it with
[23:25] Khichi and then they'll come back and
pay forward.
[23:28] » So they do have an agreement that's part
of the agreement is make it as good as
[23:34] » they started up north they're working
their way this way.
[23:36] » Great. When I had talked to them before,
they had told me that they were going to
[23:40] do that. They would probably pave a lot
of them all at the same time, get them
[23:43] all built up so they could just bring in
to do all that equipment to get
[23:46] everything paved finalized at one time
instead of
[23:53] » Was Smith Co doing that work or they
subbing that up?
[23:55] » I think they sub that up.
>> And how did it go with um when that rock
[24:02] asphalt came? Did I know that the co-op
went y'all went? What did y'all think?
[24:08] Did y'all
>> Pretty interesting. I mean, it's a lot
[24:11] easier to put down than your regular
cold mix. And you just spread in the
[24:16] hole with a rake or a shovel and then
once you compact it, that's what
[24:19] activates it and it's supposed to seal.
>> Let me try some and see see what it
[24:25] does.
>> Yeah, I met them on my trip to
[24:30] Philadelphia. I met with them actually.
I met him on the plane because they were
[24:35] at the same conference and we got
talking about it on the plane. So, okay,
[24:39] perfect. Thank you.
>> Okay.
[24:42] » What is it costwise? Is it a lot more? A
lot less?
[24:45] » A lot more.
>> Is it?
[24:47] » You like 115 a ton here and they're at
what was it? 250 270 something like that
[24:56] a ton. But if it stays in there longer,
you only have to patch it once, you
[25:00] know.
>> And their tonnage goes further than what
[25:04] was theirs equal to. Um,
>> yeah, it's supposed to go a lot further.
[25:09] I got it wrote down.
>> It's like one and a half times or
[25:11] something like that. So, it
brings the price down a little bit if
[25:17] you take it into those terms.
>> Thought somebody said something about a
[25:20] warranty on it.
>> They told me it had a threeyear warranty
[25:22] on it.
>> So, one patch is supposed to be good for
[25:25] three years.
>> That's what I understand. Mhm.
[25:27] » He said he's seen it up to 20 years, but
>> long as the application's right, they'll
[25:32] warranty it. If if you don't follow
through with how you're supposed to
[25:36] apply it, then it won't be. But they'll
come out and look at it. They can tell
[25:39] you.
>> Sounds like it's worth it to me. I mean,
[25:43] I ain't tell how many times you've
patched holes out on eight and they blow
[25:47] out the next rain, you know? So
[25:52] » with all that being said, Juan, when are
we when's the county supposed to get new
[25:58] agreements, contract for aggregate and
stuff, you know, for aggregate and
[26:03] asphalt and stuff?
>> I'll have to look up for sure, but we're
[26:06] still Yeah, we're still a couple years
or a year or so.
[26:10] » Because I kind of thought they were
yearly contracts, you know, that
[26:14] aggregate stuff that was done. I think
they're threeyear contracts. I thought
[26:20] » three four years
>> there four year contracts of them.
[26:27] » You have anything on this commissioner
report?
[26:30] » Um
[26:33] well just Roy Lee and I attended that
Republicanwater
[26:37] meeting the other night. Listen to some
good presentations on that. um what's
[26:43] going on for the future of water with
Roosevelt County. We still didn't get a
[26:47] report from Roosevelt County Electric um
yet. Aquatics didn't show up, but I
[26:53] they're going to have another one where
Aquatics is coming also.
[26:57] Um I know Dwight spoke a little bit
about Aquatics while we was there. So,
[27:03] um pretty informative stuff. So, I would
just encourage everybody that if you can
[27:08] make the next meeting, try to
That's on the 28th, right?
[27:14] » What day was that next one?
>> We're setting it for uh early in early
[27:19] October and we weren't able to have
aquatics to present remotely, but we
[27:26] will have that opportunity at next one
plus we'll have some K. Bley Hutchinson
[27:33] has said that they would like to present
to us that that's the world's largest
[27:39] inland desellation factory down in El
Paso and want to try and get a walk
[27:45] through of the facility. They do uh
walkthroughs for groups at that uh
[27:53] desolization factory group there in El
Paso. So, I was wanting to try and get a
[27:58] walk through for maybe 15 20 people up
to uh sometime at the end of September
[28:06] so we can kind of have the opportunity
to visit with that.
[28:12] » So, no date set yet, but it's coming.
>> Yes, sir.
[28:15] » Okay.
That's all I have.
[28:20] » M.
>> Okay.
[28:23] » Okay. All right. Moving on to new
business. A fairgrounds discussion and
[28:29] consideration for a tractor driver for
the High Plains Rodeo's Commissioner
[28:34] Parker.
>> I know I've been beating this to death,
[28:36] but it keeps coming up. Anyways, the the
tractor that we have out there, they're
[28:41] not using it. They're using Cam and and
Randy Knights every time. They said it's
[28:46] not big enough. Our tractor is not big
enough to pull through that wet dirt and
[28:51] make it correct. I don't know what your
thoughts on that are. We work it. It
[28:55] works. Okay.
>> And And I guess do y'all work it slower
[28:59] then or faster? Because they said, and
that's what I told them. I said, Juan
[29:02] works it with it every time, but I don't
know if you're working it slower than
[29:06] they are because they said it's hanging
up
[29:08] » right
>> in there. And they needed a front wheel
[29:10] assist.
>> It's too heavy.
[29:13] » You can't let it down all the way. You
got to hold it up a little bit. Now, if
[29:16] you if you let it down, yeah, that's
going to bog you down and it'll rar up
[29:20] on you. But if you just hold it up
lightly, it'll it'll take care of it.
[29:25] Didn't we talk about putting weights on
the tractor
[29:28] » on the front? Yes, ma'am.
>> Have we done that yet?
[29:30] » We haven't because we rode it around so
much with the shredder and it's just
[29:35] going to wear out that front end. It's a
guess we can put them on there and take
[29:40] them off as we use it for the arena.
>> Which brings up my point. I I don't know
[29:46] what y'all think, but I think we need a
full-time dedicated tractor out there.
[29:49] We've got the first High Plains rodeo is
coming in the 11th through the 16th. Um
[29:54] they're going to have they're going to
have it booked for January 30th through
[29:58] February 1st uh for another rodeo and
depending on how everybody likes it. Um
[30:05] they're going to start renting that out
for a lot more events. Cam and Amber
[30:09] Workhouser are working on that place on
a regular basis to get it booked out.
[30:13] And
the tractor and driver are our biggest
[30:18] obstacle right now of keeping that thing
going.
[30:21] And I keep bringing that up and and we
discuss it, but I I don't know, Juan is
[30:27] in a position to where he needs that
tractor and we're going to need a
[30:30] tractor also. So,
[30:34] » we uh when we talked about this back a
couple of months ago or a month or
[30:40] whatever how long it's been,
I told you then we had enough left over.
[30:46] We needed to buy another tractor.
>> Mhm.
[30:49] » And have it out there. And in fact, I
even checked with the John Deere place
[30:56] and I had all the paperwork and I recent
cleaned out the pickup and threw it
[30:59] away. back.
>> Uh, it's affordable.
[31:05] That's what the cab
front wheel assist.
[31:09] » Yep.
>> And it's another couple of sizes bigger
[31:12] than what we got out there.
It should do everything, but I don't
[31:17] know where we're sitting at on the
budget have left over,
[31:22] » but it needs to happen to keep everybody
happy.
[31:26] » I've also been looking at them, too. And
I mean, we can literally get a tractor
[31:30] that's sufficient to do the job that we
need done with the brake all the way
[31:34] down and with the arena wet, like you
said, a front wheel assist for the cost
[31:39] of one sheriff's office vehicle that's
outfitted, you know, because those
[31:43] things ain't getting no cheaper. I've
been I think I found a K Cabota the
[31:46] other day for like 45,000, you know. So,
that's just a kind I agree with you. I
[31:51] think we need to go ahead and just if
Drew thinks after we get this budget
[31:56] mess figured out, but we need to get one
pretty quick if we're going to do it.
[32:03] » Yeah, I agree. But
[32:07] just need to know if we have the cash on
hand to do it.
[32:10] » Sure.
>> Drew, at what point do you think we can
[32:14] make that determination if we can afford
a tractor or not?
[32:20] just need to look at certain numbers.
[32:26] I don't know what's in each of the the
lines like the fairgrounds budget and
[32:29] stuff, but we can look at it and um
that's what bars are for. So,
[32:35] » do you think by the next meeting we
could have a
[32:39] » we'll look into it? Yeah. Okay.
>> And I'll get with Carla to see what's
[32:42] available maybe through
>> what is it statewide pricing agreements
[32:46] and all that stuff. see if we can um
figure out exactly what's needed out
[32:51] there and then we can try to get pricing
on it and then work at it from that.
[32:58] » What size tractor Kabota did you look
at?
[33:02] » It was a those K Cabotas are different.
>> Yeah, it was a 90 a 90 horse I think
[33:11] but it was front wheel assist 90 horse.
I can't remember. K Cabota's kind of off
[33:15] on their horsepower like not like John
Deere. It's 94 point something or
[33:21] something like that. I can't remember.
But according to everybody I've talked
[33:25] to a 90 horse with front wheel assist
would be more than ample. What is that
[33:30] one you got?
>> You got the 90
[33:32] » 90.
>> And listening to Kendall, he's been
[33:36] using that thing more on the fair
grounds than anybody except for Juan.
[33:39] You know, he said if it had a four-wheel
drive or frontwheel assist, he said it'd
[33:43] work just fine. But that's one of the
things that's lacking. And I don't think
[33:48] that if we can't lower that that brake
all the way into the dirt like it should
[33:52] be
and just having to hold it, you know,
[33:55] partway out, it's not doing the job we
want it to do anyway. So
[33:58] » you go too deep though, it'll leave
leave ridges. So
[34:01] » leave what?
>> Ridges. Cuz it goes too far down,
[34:05] » especially after we rip it because it's
soft, you know,
[34:08] » that deep.
The one that does a good job after we go
[34:13] through there is Gary's little Parma.
Another little flat one.
[34:17] » Yeah,
>> that's what we finish it with. And it
[34:19] leaves it pretty nice. You can try both
of them.
[34:24] » Can the Can the current tractor have the
front wheel assist added to it or
[34:28] anything?
>> Be pretty costly.
[34:32] » As costly as a new,
but it's a whole totally different set.
[34:38] It wouldn't hurt to for us to at least
look into it possibly though.
[34:41] » But I think the problem with that is is
we don't have he needs that out there
[34:44] when we need it at the fairgrounds too.
>> Right now it's in running the trailer
[34:51] over there.
>> Okay.
[34:53] I mean ideally we we want something
dedicated for it because we definitely
[34:58] want to start using the fairgrounds as
as much as we can. That's the whole
[35:02] purpose of having
so
[35:11] one if we is if if we was to put like
three loads of sand river sand in that
[35:17] thing, could a guy spread that with
maintainer and pretty much get it kind
[35:21] of evenly spread? Would that lighten
that dirt up a little bit to where that
[35:27] to where that plow wouldn't be dragging
quite as hard? You know, you know,
[35:32] » it's
not so much that it's going
[35:36] dragging too hard. It just when we go in
there with the blade and rip it.
[35:40] » Yeah.
>> It softens it way.
[35:41] » Softens it up.
>> So then that gauge,
[35:45] » but the gauge wheels sink in too. So
>> that's the only reason you got to hold
[35:49] it up a little bit.
>> But but I was thinking that, you know,
[35:53] there's a lot of clay that arena.
I was thinking, you know, got to get
[35:59] three or four loaves of river sand and
put in there to lighten it up cuz when
[36:04] it was wet, when it's wet where it don't
just ball up, you know, it'd be kind of
[36:09] a lighter. It' be lightening it up. And
so, you know, that's kind of
[36:14] » And the promoter say if they could do
anything to make that any better because
[36:18] it's pretty good right now. They all
like it a lot would be to add that sand.
[36:21] Add that sand
gets them through our hand.
[36:28] I know they had said that one of the
guys had said that uh all the sand
[36:32] around here was done. I think they had
to get it from uh was it Fort Snar or
[36:36] somewhere like that they were saying.
So,
[36:39] » but that would help it last longer
before you have to plow it again.
[36:45] » Try see what
>> Carla is going to check that out. She
[36:49] needs to go ahead and check on I think a
larger tractor than the 90. Yeah,
[36:55] » we've got a 90 even though you had your
front wheels. Let's get in the 10 or 15.
[37:00] » Agreed.
>> If you're going to do it, do it.
[37:03] » Yep. Agreed.
>> Agreed.
[37:05] » Don't want to end up buying something
that people kick holes into.
[37:10] And along that lines, too, is I know
that we've got the position coming for
[37:16] the road departments as well.
I'm a little concerned if that person's
[37:22] going to be
can we make that person available
[37:26] strictly for the fairgrounds and the
hours that they might have to work to
[37:30] run that tractor out there too, you
know, like that all day long rodeo.
[37:34] Heck, he might get in all his hours in
two days if we if he's like you've got
[37:38] to be at all the events, you know. So,
I don't know what y'all's thoughts if we
[37:44] can do that, if we can make that fit in
the job description or what, but
[37:48] » we can if we uh well, he puts in his two
three or four days, give him that much
[37:54] off.
>> Yeah.
[37:59] » Very flexible.
>> Yeah. All right.
[38:04] » Oh, good.
>> I just want to see what y'all's thoughts
[38:06] on that were because it kind of
concerned me a little bit. But if y'all
[38:09] think we can make that work, that's
that's me.
[38:14] And
[38:17] uh they were asking about and I know
this would be something for capital uh
[38:21] out or capital project ICIP is what I'm
trying to say. But they also said
[38:26] awnings over those east side horse pins
would be good at some point and RV
[38:32] and more RV hookups down that one side
as well because I don't know if y'all
[38:36] been out there. I know Roy Lee has and
Tina came one day, but that last rodeo,
[38:42] I mean, it was packed to the gills all
the way down. And there were living
[38:45] quarters, bloomers, big trailers,
everybody stayed staying there the whole
[38:49] weekend. So, if we put in more electric
and water hookups, we could make more
[38:53] money on those as well because
there was, I think, four or five hookups
[38:59] out there and they were all full and
there was probably 40 others that would
[39:03] have been hooked up if they could have.
So, just food for thought that I'm sorry
[39:08] I turned around and look at you some
publicity,
[39:11] » but uh
that much more. I know y'all are working
[39:15] on the stall apps. You know where we're
at with those.
[39:20] » Yeah. Working with the bank once we
figure out what bank we're going to do,
[39:26] get it set up.
I don't mean to drive everybody crazy
[39:30] with this fairgrounds things, but the
the windows getting smaller with these
[39:33] rodeos, these other rodeos coming in.
So, I'm just trying to keep that
[39:37] forefront of everybody's mind so we can
make that as user friendly as possible.
[39:43] What's y'all's thoughts on the RV
electrical hookups? You know,
[39:47] » I thought we were putting more RV
hookups out there. Are we not? Didn't we
[39:51] have more going on on that?
>> Did we fixed a bunch more a couple of
[39:55] years ago?
>> Yeah. So, I thought there was more than
[39:57] four out there, didn't you?
>> I think there's five right now.
[40:03] » Obviously, the electrical the the
expensive part of it, running water
[40:06] would be not not so bad. Um, price-wise,
uh, the key is is probably getting the
[40:13] stall out, making sure people that are
using them are paying for them to where
[40:16] that'll help us to be able to afford to
expand it, too.
[40:22] » Water system right now. Mhm.
[40:27] » Exactly. If we had someone out there,
they could make sure that they're, you
[40:31] know, the the hookups are locked or
whatever, they can unlock them and make
[40:34] sure that people are are paying for what
they're using.
[40:38] » Yep. But I think if somebody has an
event out there and they have the
[40:41] fairgrounds rented,
whoever has a fairground rented and puts
[40:46] on something, they need to make sure
that their people are paying for the
[40:51] horse stalls or the RV hookups,
you know, because somebody has to be
[40:58] responsible for that. We can't be
willy-nilly. I know the other day we had
[41:00] one plugged into the Dad Gum
big arena, plugged into the side of the
[41:06] arena extension cord. Mhm.
>> And that's that's not okay.
[41:11] » So,
>> every outlet that somebody sees, they
[41:14] plug into it. Every single one.
>> Just plug in willy-nilly.
[41:17] » In our stalls, I went out during the
rodeo and counted 68 one day and 62
[41:24] or three the other day. And at that
time, they had only paid for three total
[41:29] out of all of those. And I went in and
had him make an announcement, and I
[41:33] think they collected some more for it.
Jared told me he had collected
[41:38] I don't know, $600, $700 total.
>> He had got the check for 130 that Cam
[41:44] brought. I hadn't heard anything since
then.
[41:53] » But there's a lot of opportunity out
there for
[41:58] um more income for the county. Just
right now, we're not uh we're not
[42:03] getting it capitalized on. I think if we
had someone dedicated out there, it
[42:08] would pay for itself. You know, as you
just said, if they're they got 60s
[42:13] something stalls, they've only paid for
three.
[42:17] » That and the stalls app.
>> Well, they Yeah,
[42:20] » that'll help a lot.
>> Jared Jared Echerman, he's the one
[42:23] supposed to come in and pay that, right?
>> Yeah. that the first weekend of that
[42:28] deal, I thought he told me they had
collected like $600 off the stall deal.
[42:34] And he did say that he was if if he
hasn't paid yet, he he sent me a text,
[42:39] I'm trying to find it now, that said
he's going to come in and give you some
[42:43] money for that. He just hasn't had a
chance yet.
[42:51] then
[42:55] » they do you know
that's been
[43:00] two weeks now since their last event.
>> Mhm.
[43:04] » So a timely matter.
Yeah.
[43:08] » Needs to be addressed on that deal
when you're texting Jared
[43:15] since you're got him on the line there.
>> Yeah.
[43:19] » There it is. I'm just saying. Yes. Cuz
if we're going out of our way,
[43:24] » the least they can do is u
>> Yeah. He said he's got
[43:30] » in a timely manner.
>> He said he's collected a little over
[43:33] 1,500 for the stalls. He said he'll get
a check dropped off in a few days. That
[43:37] was last Monday. So,
[43:43] » I mean, if we can start making sure
we're paying closer attention to it,
[43:47] then obviously it can
because
[43:52] making a big difference making a lot of
these other things, paying for the
[43:56] tractor, paying for someone to be out
there and
[44:00] » we like add that in the contract that
whoever rents it's responsible to make
[44:04] sure that those things are paid and that
it needs to be rendered like
[44:10] Commissioner Grder said, a week is
plenty of time to get those paid back
[44:17] and make sure that they understand that
>> like within five business days inclusion
[44:23] of the event.
>> Yeah. We don't need to be just
[44:25] willy-nilly
>> cuz I
[44:28] » people can say I'm going to do it
forever.
[44:30] » We know that
you can't take off an hour.
[44:35] » If we were going to do any schedule to
get us agree
[44:38] » agreement, would we have to present it
to the board by any chance just so you
[44:42] guys could check it or anything like
that? It can be a major group of changes
[44:46] if you want. Yeah.
>> Well, that's one of the things that Cam
[44:52] pointed out too is make the promoter
responsible for all the fees. You know,
[44:55] whoever's putting the rodeo on,
>> you're responsible for collecting those
[44:59] fees and paying.
>> There you go.
[45:00] » We can work on the wording and we can
run it by um the attorneys to make sure
[45:05] that everything it meets all the
requirements.
[45:08] » Okay.
>> But as bad as it is to say we can't just
[45:10] do it on the owner system either. There
has to be checks and balances. So,
[45:13] thanks.
>> And we can bring all this back at our
[45:17] next meeting with like information on
tractors and maybe some kind of contract
[45:24] changes and whatever have you. How about
that?
[45:27] » It'd be nice if we could get somebody to
take a look at those RV hookups and see
[45:31] what it' take to run them on down too
price-wise, just so we'd have an idea.
[45:40] » Anything else on that one? I'm finished.
Thank you all.
[45:44] » You're great. Anything else on that?
Y'all
[45:49] » mean
>> Oh, you just keep talking and talking
[45:52] down there, didn't you?
[45:56] » Okay.
Who business designation of two
[46:00] commissioners to participate in the FY25
annual financial audit meetings? Mr.
[46:05] Patterson.
>> We just need two people that want to be
[46:08] on the audit committee basically. Um,
>> what does that consist of?
[46:13] » If we have audit meetings being part of
it, it more than likely be just uh phone
[46:18] calls and emails back and forth. Um, if
the auditors need anything, it just
[46:23] gives it more of oversight. That's
>> I thought I was on that. Um, you know
[46:30] how we do the when we have the budget
and we do the audit, the entrance and
[46:36] the exit exam on the audit. I thought I
was on that last time, but I never did
[46:41] get a call to do anything.
>> Was that last year?
[46:46] » It was for this past one. Yes. But I
don't know. Did we ever have
[46:52] I mean, we had an audit,
right?
[46:55] » Did
you uh accepted the award? Did you
[47:01] » But that's what I'm saying. But I didn't
get all the info through the time like I
[47:08] usually do, but I'm sure it came to your
email or to the manager email. I won't
[47:14] say yours.
>> I was leaving it to the Kirk email.
[47:17] » It just didn't get shared,
>> right?
[47:20] » So,
>> yeah. That would have been before my
[47:23] time, but
>> it didn't get shared.
[47:30] » Would it be nice if we have to new
commissioner
[47:34] all of us
on it. We've sat on it and every one of
[47:40] us I think miss
>> how would y'all like to be on that?
[47:44] » I have time to do it. Um probably more
than anybody else up here but I don't
[47:49] know if you do or not.
I don't know what is it consist of again
[47:55] » meetings calls
>> y
[47:57] » just if there's any questions or issues
um I will say we're not we're we're not
[48:04] expecting the smoothest of audits this
year to put it lightly
[48:08] » it's going to be a tough one
>> but I don't know how much involvement
[48:12] it'll require either because I mean when
it comes down to it it's the audit firm
[48:17] doing what they have to do
So our involvement in on that level is
[48:24] going to be hopefully minimal. It's
mainly us pulling everything on our
[48:29] level and then if we need to review
something we would just get together
[48:34] with the auditors.
[48:38] » What was it? Two meetings
we met twice on a
[48:42] » maybe most time at one time. Yeah. on a
very
[48:46] » an opening and then
>> you met and then you met at the
[48:51] » that's 6 months between meetings. So
>> I want to say
[48:57] » she don't have enough either.
>> The last time I met her the only
[49:00] unemployed people
>> I know they're trying to originally that
[49:05] in the discussions that that I saw they
were uh the emails was um they're trying
[49:09] to wrap it up by mid to late October. So
>> Okay.
[49:14] » Okay. Yeah, I'll do it.
>> You good?
[49:18] » I'm good. I still I still got a family
to
[49:21] » Are you going to do it? Is that what
you're saying?
[49:22] » No.
>> Should I do it? You want me to do it?
[49:25] » Yes.
>> He said he has a family to support.
[49:29] » Do you want to do it or not? Are you
comfortable doing it?
[49:32] » Yeah, I'll do it.

Number seven, a request for the approval
[50:01] of the county manager contract.
Well, we didn't get a chance to approve
[50:06] that contract, so we need to get that
signed and approved by you guys.
[50:10] » I'll make a motion to approve the county
manager's contract because I don't want
[50:14] him going anywhere.
>> I think
[50:18] I knew that was going to happen.
>> I think uh everything looks good. I
[50:23] think Drew and Mary are doing a
wonderful job, but for future,
[50:27] » yeah,
>> the manager's contract says shall be
[50:29] raised after 6 months. I think it should
be upon a favorable review,
[50:35] not just shall be regardless. And that's
again, that's not a dig against you or
[50:39] anything else. It's how I would like to
see the the contract say
[50:44] » I don't know if what y'all think about
that because right now it just states
[50:48] shall be raised X amount after 6 months
period. It doesn't say, you know, if if
[50:54] you're doing a bad job, we're still
gonna give you the money, you know,
[50:57] » and you want to step on favor
>> on favorable favorable review.
[51:02] And that's the end of my notes
completely.
[51:07] » But it's not the end of your thoughts.
>> Yeah.
[51:10] » Okay. I agree with that. I'd like to
bring up I guess there's a typo or
[51:16] whatever it is here at the

[51:42] So
>> I almost fixed that yesterday and then I
[51:44] was told not to. So we but we'll fix
that part.
[51:47] » I saw that but I thought it had to go
through the attorney's office. That's
[51:50] why I figured that there
>> that's not that's not in the stance. So
[51:54] we can change that to Portalis.
>> Yes.
[51:58] » Okay.
Fix that.
[52:01] » Is that email address right
>> in that motion? It needs to be
[52:06] » all that included.
Okay.

Department, Miss Williams. Also in your

it'll have to be signed electronically
[54:04] if it's approved. And we applied for
33,000
[54:10] I believe to include the turf and we
were only awarded the small amount, the
[54:14] 7,000.
No, sorry, the 3600. Sorry.
[54:19] » Got a motion, a second, Mr. Munoz.
>> Yes. Yes. Yes.
[54:24] » Yes. May I ask the question? No.
[54:31] » Of that 3,600.
Were you going to be able to find
[54:34] something to do for that?
>> Yes, we put in um in addition to the
[54:39] turf, which they didn't fund to um
replace the metal
[54:44] um bench out on the what is that? The
east side of the building. It's kind of
[54:49] dilapidated. So, put in some recycled
benches around for seating and some
[54:54] exterior trash recepticles.
>> Okay. No, I was just I was just curious

>> Right.

Any media communication?
[55:15] Um,
[55:18] other than that chat, no questions.
>> Okay,
[55:21] » one more question for you.
>> Go ahead. I knew you weren't finished.
[55:25] » I just came to a few minutes ago. Why
are we leasing that well from Eastern?
[55:30] Is it out of convenience?
>> Yeah. Then we ain't got nowhere else to
[55:34] get water around here. Now, I would say
we're out of Floyd. We can buy some
[55:39] Floyd, which we're limited on loads. We
bought some from Dora from Arch before,
[55:45] you know, but we can run even if we're
working out of CO, we can run too low
[55:49] from here and two low from Floyd. Well,
that helps us.
[55:54] » I just I the the fairgrounds doesn't
have a a well anywhere right there by
[55:59] the road barn.
So, the only two wells that Roosevelt
[56:05] County owns is Milan Sand and Arch,
I
[56:08] » think. So yeah, there used to be one
that ran to the fairgrounds, but I think
[56:14] it's actually at the peanut mill and it
was piped to the fairgrounds that years
[56:18] ago.
[56:21] » That's all I have.
>> Attorney Van Fleck, do you have anything
[56:24] you want to add today? You've been
awfully quiet.
[56:28] » No, ma'am, I don't.
>> Looks like he's flying a jet airplane.
[56:35] » You didn't know I was a gamer, did you?
I'm looking at the headb
[56:41] going to suggest uh you know back at the
fairgrounds issue one one way you might
[56:46] want to solve that problem is to
basically have the uh promoter put down
[56:52] a deposit that would
cover the cost the entire cost of all
[56:57] the stalls and then we could take an
inventory during the course of that
[57:02] abandon if they didn't use all of those
stalls provide some sort of a a refund
[57:06] or a rebate. That way, we would at least
get a large proportion of that upfront
[57:13] with a minimal amount of effort on our
on our side. But that's just a
[57:17] suggestion.
>> That's a good suggestion, too.
[57:23] » They do have to put a deposit down
already, right?
[57:27] » Yeah. For the facility.
>> Just for facility,
[57:30] » the cleanup of destruction. Yeah. Okay.
And I would like to add real quick, I
[57:35] just want to thank everybody, all the
department heads, elected officials,
[57:39] employees of the county. I know that
everybody has been working really hard
[57:43] and working together
and trying to get our stuff straightened
[57:48] out. And I just want to give everybody a
huge shout out and thank you so much for
[57:52] all of your hard work. I know it's been
a huge team effort and Mr. Patterson has
[57:57] stated that many times when we've told
him thank you for something. He's always
[58:02] been very gracious and said that it was
a complete team effort. So I just wanted
[58:06] to thank everybody for that as well. And
with that
[58:11] we are adjourned.
>> Even with all my questions, it still got
[58:16] done in an hour.
[58:21] » Well done. Well done.
>> Could have been done.
[58:24] » Yeah. No kidding.
[58:29] » Bye folks.
Have a good one, Randy.
[58:32] » I'll see you hopefully see you live next
time.
