21
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:23,759
whole lot to talk about since we were
here last Thursday. Um I did have

22
00:01:20,479 --> 00:01:28,080
recovery task force on Friday. Um, I
don't know if there's really that many

23
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:32,720
things uh to discuss that was new. Even
with that, I do believe that they they

did hand out a hand out to us that there
was a um a suicide prevention coalition

25

donate to uh that fund. So, just wanted

27
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:58,640
to bring that on. Um, other than that, I
do not have anything else other than it

28
00:01:56,479 --> 00:02:02,479
was a relatively nice weekend. A little
windy, but

29
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:05,520
» nope. Definitely a good weekend stuff on
it. So, yeah. So, yeah, I don't have

31
00:02:09,679 --> 00:02:16,319
memorial. We're going to have that
dedication or not dedication, but just

32
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:20,319
kind of memorial for 911 being 25 years
and stuff on it. So, uh down by the

33
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:23,599
bridge there. And then Senate East
School this week has a whole bunch of

34
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:29,360
activities going on. So check out their
website on all kinds of activities going

35
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:34,400

36
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:37,680
and throughout their their track and all
that stuff going on. So great a lot of

37
00:02:36,319 --> 00:02:42,720
great events going on around the county
in commemoration of the uh 911 stuff on

38
00:02:40,879 --> 00:02:46,239
it.
All right, we'll go into county

39
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:53,040
administrator report.
>> Well, as Bill mentioned, there's uh

40
00:02:49,599 --> 00:02:59,040
They're having that uh service for 911
on obviously on Thursday 911 in the

41
00:02:56,080 --> 00:03:04,239
morning. Uh that ties into our special
meeting originally was going to be at

42
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:10,000
9:00. It's now move back to 9:30. So
that uh that meeting there'll be it'll

43
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:15,760
be executive session. So would not
expect any action to be taken, but

44
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:20,879
that's this Thursday 911 at 9:30.
uh RTA basement drywall repair that

45
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:25,680
should be finished sometime this week.
They're working on painting the walls

46
00:03:22,959 --> 00:03:29,840
and we'll call it like the touch-ups.
Uh one other thing they're working on on

47
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:37,200
the RTA building, there's going to be a
crew that's uh fixing the stucco and the

48
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:43,200
south wall this 10th and 11th uh that
basically was starting to separate from

49
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:48,159
the the block behind it. So get that
fixed up so it don't the damage is not

50
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:52,799
proceed any further.
Uh again, we're at the RTA building. The

51
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:56,879
new posted machine is scheduled to be
delivered tomorrow.

52
00:03:54,879 --> 00:04:04,720
So that's all actually working out
pretty well time wise uh in relation to

53
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:08,159
the project that's going on there.
As far as the commissioner's office

54
00:04:06,159 --> 00:04:13,040
ourselves, uh Brent mentioned it in
previous meetings, we continue to re

55
00:04:10,959 --> 00:04:17,680
research options to replace outdated
fiber ring network switches and update

56
00:04:15,599 --> 00:04:21,680
the phone system.
At this point, it appears network

57
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:25,040
switches are a priority over the phone
system,

58
00:04:23,199 --> 00:04:31,120
but uh we're working to make both of
these updates as soon as possible.

59
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:34,960
Uh,
another thing that we've been working on

60
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:40,400
is it's actually with the board of
elections and the and the state of Ohio.

61
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:45,199
Uh, the current procedures we have for
testing the voting machines does not

62
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:51,440
meet their security requirements. So,
we're working on uh some ideas basically

63
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:56,960
to get that to where they would like to
see it uh in relation to it's just when

64
00:04:55,360 --> 00:05:03,440
they're working on them, they need a
little more space. So, working with Ed

65
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:09,520
primarily on that to help get a solution
to this situation. So, that's my

66
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:15,199
administrative report. Ma'am, could you
go back to So our our special meeting is

67
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:17,840

00:08:57,519 --> 00:09:02,720
system upgrades for the Senica County
Justice Center.

117
00:09:01,680 --> 00:09:07,279
» Make the motion.
>> I'll second.

118
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:11,600
Ken, you want to add anything to this?
If you have any questions, I guess I

119
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:16,480
would just say that, you know, as you're
aware, this is this is from a grant that

120
00:09:13,839 --> 00:09:20,399
we received to upgrade both the general
and domestic religion uh general and

121
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:24,959
domestic division courtrooms,
magistrates, hearing rooms. There's a

122
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:29,200
balance um if we accept any of these
bids that we will we're able to cover

123
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:33,519
through uh general and special projects
funds, which is court fees. It's not a

124
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:38,399
tax uh it's no tax money. So, this is
this is great for us. We can update.

125
00:09:35,279 --> 00:09:43,120
We're eight years into our AV in our in
our courtrooms and hearing rooms and as

126
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:46,160
you're aware, technology gets outdated
and and it's time for an upgrade. So,

127
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:50,880
this is a good way to do it without
spending any tax money.

128
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:52,080
» Was there like a whole completion for
that?

129
00:09:51,519 --> 00:09:56,720
» I'm sorry.
>> Is there like a completion time trying

130
00:09:54,160 --> 00:10:01,760
to get that done? I think that there is,
but I haven't spoken directly with the

131
00:09:59,839 --> 00:10:06,080
judges on what they're what they're
talking about with regard to what they

132
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:08,480
were looking at for completion time. It
might have been part of bid process.

133
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:13,120
» Okay.
>> I think the goal was I want to say

134
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:18,720
towards the end of March, but the grant
actually runs I want to say in 2028. Uh

135
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:24,880
» so time to go.
>> There's time, but yeah. Uh that all goes

136
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:28,320
through the Ohio Attorney General. So, I
believe they've already kind of and I

137
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:32,399
would need to like have it all in front
of me that kind of submitted when they

138
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:38,800
anticipate a completion, but there's
plenty of time beyond that, you know,

139
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:43,279
that time frame as far as what the grant
stipulations will allow.

140
00:10:42,560 --> 00:10:44,720
» Roll call.
>> Commissioner Bustcker.

141
00:10:44,399 --> 00:10:48,760
» Yes.
>> Commissioner Franker,

142
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:48,760
» yes.

143
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:51,880
Okay,

144
00:10:52,560 --> 00:10:58,959
that's the last resolution.
>> As we know, we had the meeting last

145
00:10:56,959 --> 00:11:03,120
Thursday, so it kind of shortened it up
a little bit for today.

146
00:11:00,399 --> 00:11:05,360
» Mhm.
>> We're about 10:10. Is that what you're

147
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:08,079
going to say?
>> Yeah.

148
00:11:06,399 --> 00:11:12,160
» Well, by the time we scroll up the cage,
so make the calls stuff on probably be

149
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:18,360
pretty close.
>> Sending a county record [laughter]

150
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:18,360
close.

151
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:33,839
So before I call said we're 10:10, I
have the sign in sheet for the [snorts]

152
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:36,640
pitch hearing. So I'll pass that around.
>> And they're running at then I assume.

153
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:38,800
» Uh we are.
>> We are.
