[0:00] Well, good afternoon. It's time to begin our Spirit County Commission meeting. It's August 10th, 2026, and in our meeting date we have the three commissioners. We have Commissioner Jensen, Commissioner Johnson, Commissioner Brown. We have Malcolm Nash, our executive director and economic development director. We will be watching for Casey Chukes, our county attorney. He typically comes in a little late because of his schedule, but as he comes in, we'll welcome him here.
[0:27] We also had Steve Wall or Kirk Auditor.
[0:31] We've asked Steve to offer a prayer and then lead us in the Pledge of Allegiance.
[0:39] I finally go in this day.
[0:42] I mean, before we leave, pray that I'll watch over my blessings.
[0:47] I can't, especially in recent accidents that have happened here.
[0:52] It was fired, it was pretty amazing to all comfort those families.
[0:55] and those others working with the helicopter pilots and preparing that farther for the blessings
[1:04] to be with the county and blesses with the moisture and rain that we need. We thank
[1:07] you for all we have for the opportunity to serve they for the listeners and putting
[1:13] their time and dedication into serving the residents of the county and us all be with them
[1:18] and they can make good decisions. We thank you for the freedom to be enjoying us all.
[1:22] those folks who helped provide those freedoms and bless their families and comforts as
[1:27] well.
[1:29] Thank you for always saying to us, I swear, to be with the commissioners, especially
[1:33] this name, say this name to you as well.
[1:39] I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for
[1:46] our wishes stands, one on the issue, under God,
[1:50] individual with liberty and justice for all.
[1:58] Thank you, Steve.
[2:00] We have an agenda that has been sent out as a notice
[2:05] to the public on what will be taking place
[2:07] in our meeting today.
[2:09] So we will follow that agenda at the end of the meeting
[2:12] and then if there's other business we might
[2:14] I can take care of that.
[2:15] I'm not sure exactly, we have a couple of people here
[2:18] that you might just be interested in our meeting,
[2:21] but if you're here to discuss some things
[2:23] that's not on agenda, we'll probably take care
[2:25] of our agenda first then, so on.
[2:28] With that, we'll move into any correspondence
[2:32] and any business that we need to take care of.
[2:35] Mr. Jensen?
[2:37] The last week we was fairly busy with some different things.
[2:41] on Thursday I was able to be in Bieber, Knollish, and Fillmore with the Governor most of the day.
[2:49] It was very scary to see the amount of fire that's over there, but along with meeting with them
[2:57] and seeing their concern for not only Miller County, but our county.
[3:01] I was able to meet with former Commissioner of Natural Resources Joe Ferry,
[3:06] and then also meet with Jamie Barnes, who will be the new Commissioner of Natural Resources
[3:10] for about a half hour and you know discuss with her issues that we have. One of the other
[3:17] important people that was there was Tom Schultz. He's the chief of the Forest Service for the
[3:24] Nation and it was the no chief of Forest Service has ever visited the Fish Lake Forest Service
[3:32] until him. And he's been here three times and we spent about a half hour with him and had some
[3:37] really good discussions. He's very, very concerned about our grazers and improving mitigation
[3:43] prior to these types of fires.
[3:47] And he also is moving the Forest Service Nation for everyone
[3:57] to Salt Lake City. And he hoped that, or October 31st, he would have that done. And so that
[4:03] I was good to hear that.
[4:05] Another lady who was there that I met with today,
[4:08] also in Milford at the Fergo plant,
[4:11] and in Konosh on Thursday, is Christina Price.
[4:15] She's the afternoon director for the state for BLM.
[4:18] And she has a really good relationship
[4:20] with Dave Mortensen here,
[4:23] and it was good to kind of make that connection.
[4:25] And she is a wonderful lady,
[4:28] and it was good to meet and work with her
[4:32] on the part that is hard with the accident that happened on Friday.
[4:38] We have an incredible leader in Sheriff Curtis.
[4:42] He was able to go with the group on Saturday and retrieve the bodies
[4:46] and get them out.
[4:48] And then on the cooperating agency meeting today,
[4:53] the IC Commander Tony McMaster,
[4:56] he said that they will have the data recorders out today.
[5:00] And so they will have another crew in there to do that to make sure that they are protecting
[5:06] that scene.
[5:07] So that's what I have.
[5:09] Sorry, it was a little...
[5:10] Oh great.
[5:11] Maybe just a question.
[5:12] Any change in the fire behavior today?
[5:17] There was a little shot that went down into Dog Valley, which is that little valley just
[5:21] directly north of Colford, right against the freeway last night, and they got it out.
[5:26] There's just kind of a weird little hook in it.
[5:28] But they have built a dozer line and going back to, they're down to St. George, yesterday
[5:34] and coming back now to this afternoon, there's a dozer line along the freeway and protecting
[5:40] the community of Co-Ford.
[5:42] They have built a dozer line from the old highway there, the exit that goes up to three
[5:47] creeks, clear north, clear to the fire line to protect that so that the fire hopefully
[5:53] does not come down clear to the canyon.
[5:54] and it's on the map and they had that completed yesterday which in that
[5:59] country the people that strike on those dozers are crazy but they did it and
[6:05] have that man and then with the black line or the containment line from
[6:10] Kanash the film or they had been able to move a lot of people to this eastern
[6:15] side of the road that goes from Indian peak at the north all the way to the
[6:21] Joseph Peak and it worked this road to try to keep that fire from coming east over the top.
[6:26] It's just kind of hovered on the peak and the county line, which are almost identical
[6:32] on that north of the South thing. So it jumped, I think it's a 12423 something thousand acres.
[6:40] So it grew a little bit, but it's not, you know, but these winds and storms, sometimes that really
[6:46] changes that it's it can throw some fire or it can douse the fire with some rain. And
[6:52] the rain the beaver had two weeks ago on Sunday they said it had a cubic foot per second
[7:00] of just short of 4,000 which is equal to the Colorado River that came out of it. And corn
[7:06] creek, a canosh, and chalk creek, a film or have a basin above them equal to that's been
[7:12] burned that beaver basin and so right directly to the west of us we have two
[7:18] basins that have the potential to be the exact same thing as well as our
[7:23] Monroe Canyon that Monroe Canyon has had several little kind of little ones
[7:29] but they are no we haven't had the big one up there yet where beaver did and
[7:33] these we'll yet to have in that meeting that all the mayors of all those
[7:38] communities that those people, it's mitigation day, it's never doing any and
[7:44] everything, large equipment, digging channels, and everything over on the
[7:51] other side of the hill today. And I'm sure that'll continue.
[7:55] That's just to put another quick question. Talking to some of the
[7:59] permitties on this north end, they mentioned that that fire coming up Chalk
[8:05] it came up through the rough part and then as it met the quakey line there it
[8:10] just seemed like it's all loud yeah there was a fire just in between or just
[8:15] I guess you would say south of the film where it was called halfway hill or
[8:19] halfway fire and so that really really really helped to hit that bermsgar and
[8:24] that was only two years ago okay and so that really helped and then they have
[8:28] four hot shock crews that have been on it's called Mount Catherine on that very
[8:33] north side. They've had four of those working non-stop. They don't come off the hill. They just drop
[8:40] food to them since I think it's Tuesday night. And they've been able to hold that and build a
[8:45] fire line so it didn't get to the next north which is called Pioneer Peak and move further north
[8:51] to clear to the wild goose fire. So those men and women on those hot shut crews without
[9:00] equipment have been able to do that they're just crazy hard working you know
[9:06] that they can do that but they have been able to maintain and so that north
[9:09] border has not gone further north since Thursday and when they say so much
[9:15] or a certain percentage containment that's the area where they're able to that
[9:19] that steel doesn't show contained the area of containment is from Fillmore to
[9:23] Kinoch, the black line on the right west, okay.
[9:25] This, they, it probably won't be shown for quite a while.
[9:30] They are showing increasing spots of containment,
[9:32] but the majority of it is on that western right
[9:35] on the valley floor, okay.
[9:37] They've issued or let more people back in,
[9:41] the cheese plant, they're at the north end of,
[9:44] or the south end of Fillmore and all those kinds of things,
[9:46] let some businesses get up and rolling again
[9:49] and those things in the last couple days.
[9:51] So it seems like the fire has been able to be contained on that side of the mountain mostly.
[9:57] So it's been like, see, right along the county line, it's been on the top there.
[10:02] All right.
[10:02] Well, thank you.
[10:03] I don't really have anything to report other, Mr. Brown, I talked about ways we can support
[10:09] the grazers in our area that are affected by the fire and there's a couple of events coming
[10:17] I mean, that's county, we've heard it wholeheartedly,
[10:21] it's important to encourage people to jump in on the walls,
[10:24] but you might could report anything else to the commissioner.
[10:26] Yeah, it had a great fair.
[10:28] The all week long and things went well.
[10:30] Well, it ended pretty much the fire.
[10:32] I think it had a little bit of a toll.
[10:33] And on the benefit for the ranchers and grazers,
[10:37] it's in Nephi at the fairgrounds,
[10:40] Saturday at 5 p.m., it's $50 a plate
[10:42] plus there's a big auction.
[10:44] So that would be good to be involved with that.
[10:49] I was working on a couple of different angles, but we found that out.
[10:54] We all decided to support that in the world, so that's where I should go.
[10:58] And as far as our grazers right above town, the south allotment has been affected.
[11:04] The middle allotment has not, and the north allotment has hardly been touched, too.
[11:08] So they don't have any reports of cattle and looking really good that way, but on the other
[11:14] side it's devastated.
[11:16] They've lost a lot of heavy cattle.
[11:18] So that benefit.
[11:19] That very south end.
[11:20] And in the early stages of that fire, that caught some cattle in a bad spot and we lost cattle
[11:26] there.
[11:27] So we have.
[11:27] Yeah.
[11:29] Thank you.
[11:31] Malcolm, may I have a case you'd like to have you hear anything from your busy department
[11:36] yet?
[11:37] No, nothing bad, just on the fires.
[11:41] Yeah.
[11:41] You guys have a handle on that.
[11:43] Thank you.
[11:44] Steve, anything?
[11:46] Interpacket.
[11:47] We have just mentioned of business, then.
[11:50] We had a letter of support from the county commissioners
[11:56] supporting the Central Utah Food Sharing in an application
[12:00] for grant funding with the Sonson Legacy Foundation.
[12:05] And so that that letters in our packet and so we we're supporting that and just make make that a matter of public record and so
[12:16] Moving on then to the rest of our agenda or starting into agenda will go to the next item be the minutes of the July 27th Commission meeting and workshop
[12:29] If you had a chance to maybe review those minutes
[12:31] It's happy to be here in a minute and it works session only for motion to approve.
[12:37] Second.
[12:37] Moons second to approve the minutes.
[12:39] All those in favor say aye.
[12:41] Aye.
[12:42] Opposed nay, that motion passes unanimous.
[12:46] Okay.
[12:47] Then we would move to the payment approval report that reports emailed out to us.
[12:54] Any questions to approve?
[12:56] Okay.
[12:56] And I'll second that.
[12:57] second that we approved that payment approval report, all of them gave her say aye.
[13:02] Aye.
[13:03] Paul's name, that motion passes unanimous.
[13:16] Next item is to consider a hotspot, a Wi-Fi cooperative agreement with the Utah Department
[13:28] of Transportation for a hotspot.
[13:31] But I think that is, also, that paper is in a packet, maybe a year ago.
[13:37] And what it is, is the UDOTs approach the county about installing just the Wi-Fi router
[13:43] basically at the trail head, the mouth of open, the Marysville Canyon where the trail starts
[13:49] in the big rock candy express.
[13:51] The request was for the county to provide power with that little router and just make it
[13:59] available to the general public to have access there.
[14:02] Check the broadings, if there is power down in that parking lot area that could be tapped into.
[14:08] Do you know if the restrooms down there have lights in them at night?
[14:11] Is there power in that building already?
[14:13] I was told no.
[14:15] My guess was no, but I just double check and so on.
[14:19] There may be a little bit of an expense to run power from a pole down to some building.
[14:25] Would you be able to do that?
[14:26] But they're asking the county to do it and so I don't know what that cost would be or what the details are but
[14:33] Powers available. Let me just
[14:38] They're asking us to host it at our at the rest room kind of thing and pull the power
[14:44] Do we cost will be minimal having it somewhere? Yeah, yeah, do we know what it cost to get the power over to the
[14:51] I don't have that yet. Yeah, it wouldn't be wouldn't be
[14:54] I don't think it's much, but we can make that.
[15:00] I can get back to you and report back to you on what the, you know, that's maybe cost of being and then bring it back to you.
[15:05] It's a long ways that, you know, that would be kind of very line-ups. Would it be, you know, would it be overhead right there? I'm trying to think of all the power poles right there. I can't think of one. There's a power pole, but it drops, it drops underneath, under the ground. And so it could be, I don't think there's...
[15:24] a bigger line, but the business made, and why you're doing it, let's do it in the restaurants.
[15:29] Yeah.
[15:31] So what's the theory of the commissioners on that if it's not a very, if it's, if it's within reason, would be,
[15:39] well, it's probably got a cost to it and they approve it.
[15:41] Okay, so we take no action on it then, today or?
[15:44] Up to you, you can, you can say, all right, we'll do it, but you know, $1,000 just for the sake of a number.
[15:50] Yeah, that won't touch it.
[15:53] There's a, I just heard and get a Google view, at the north end of the power, at the parking lot.
[15:58] There's a light pole, and just to the east, there's two power poles.
[16:02] One is probably only like 50 to 75 feet away from the house.
[16:08] Maybe a little closer.
[16:10] There's a power line.
[16:12] It looks like it spurts right on the side of the parking right there.
[16:16] Yeah, we do the same word in favor of it, but we need to have a cost before we approve it.
[16:23] Okay, make that part of the motion, I can make that motion.
[16:26] Okay.
[16:26] If we go on the ground, we're going to have to cut through our paved pavement, concrete and paved pavement.
[16:33] I'll get more details for you.
[16:34] But yeah, I think commissioners, that's a good maybe a port you want to make a motion to that effect in, so.
[16:42] You have mentioned to be in favor of it, but before we can approve it, before construction we'd have to have the cost now, that's okay, not second that, okay, with that motion, and second do we'll call for both all those in favor of that motion, say aye,
[17:00] opposed nay, that motion passes and we'll look for more information.
[17:06] Okay, next item on the agenda is consider Jones and the meal engineering assignment order for the Monroe and Central Valley bike path feasibility design, so we have that impact as well.
[17:16] This gets us started on finding the alignment between the two communities together up to about 10,000 this one to get rolling on.
[17:28] I think that's, yeah, that covers us there.
[17:35] So, any questions from the commissioners on this one then?
[17:38] No, I'll make a motion to approve the assignment order.
[17:41] Okay, second.
[17:42] Second that we approve this order, with Jones and the meal,
[17:45] to start looking at that feasibility as a design,
[17:49] all in favor of that motion, say aye.
[17:52] Aye.
[17:53] Opposed, nay, that motion passes unanimous in.
[18:08] Okay,
[18:15] next item on the agenda is to consider the request from departments that serve
[18:20] plus personal property items.
[18:23] We have one on our list today, all in motion to approve, and I'll second that.
[18:30] Moons second that we approve that report or that request.
[18:33] All in favor of that, say aye.
[18:35] Aye.
[18:35] I have a post name, so that request is passed unanimous.
[18:48] The next item is to consider the tourism advisory board recommendations.
[18:53] Typically, Amy is here to do that.
[18:55] Do you want to do that?
[18:56] I can permission to do that.
[19:00] So the promotion report was the ad agency that they presented.
[19:06] And some Kevin hadn't played the advertisement from the Severe Guy Center and it was excellent.
[19:14] Well done.
[19:16] The enthusiastic show, the full house of people, all the different activities was highlighted
[19:21] on the clip.
[19:23] It was very good.
[19:25] They also showed one from the Black Hawk that they just had a drone fly over the Black Hawk
[19:30] with nothing happening there.
[19:31] the board made the suggestion that they redo that one, change the music and have something
[19:38] going on when they filmed that, so that was pretty much the promotion report.
[19:44] The Chamber of Commerce was requesting $5,000 for the funding, the magazine they put out
[19:55] last year but they changed it to $10,000. The board approved it so they doubled their
[20:04] ask there at the meeting. What was asked for for the Chamber of Commerce, Rich,
[20:12] and magazine.
[20:15] So that was any any feelings on that owner? Okay, with that one, I think.
[20:21] Well, they do show a little bit of advertising for TRT on there, but I wonder if we're
[20:28] not supporting other ones at all, if we ought to do something a little more even.
[20:36] Is that a national chamber magazine that that's coming out in or what chamber magazine
[20:41] rich will chamber?
[20:42] Okay, commerce.
[20:44] They're using it kind of for fundraisers.
[20:46] They highlight any of the chamber of businesses, and if you're not a member, then you pay
[20:50] to get in the magazine, and then they have some full ads for page, $500 a page.
[20:56] But I'm worried that we're getting, if we're double, last year they were going to get
[21:01] their sponsors and they didn't get too many, so they're asking for $10,000 an issue instead
[21:09] of $5,000 that we gave in last year or so.
[21:11] Is this that $10,000 or the $5,000?
[21:14] Is that the 100% of their funding?
[21:16] No, I think there's another 4,000 that they're coming up with in other places, but we're not the gas.
[21:25] Well, that's kind of how it hit me.
[21:27] But some of the board members felt it was okay because they do some promotional stuff.
[21:33] Jordan Shumway says that he can't keep them on the shelf of this hotel.
[21:37] They walk off there.
[21:39] But I just worried that we're not playing on cards equally.
[21:43] there's a Norsever chamber. Monroe don't have one, but whatever you guys feel, I might
[21:49] just kind of be reporting of that, but that's kind of how that went down. You can
[21:55] discuss that further how you want to do that. So the Black Hawk Classic took
[22:02] place in June. It went very well. They recommended $3,500 for that. They were
[22:09] requesting 52, but the only recommended 3500 for that one. The UVRHA celebration summer
[22:20] show number two was at the Black Hawk and they were requesting 3,000 and that qualified
[22:29] for less than that.
[22:32] Let me see what they recommended, 25.
[22:35] Yeah, they recommended the $2,500.
[22:39] Then there was the Danny Summers Memorial Tournament.
[22:41] It was a baseball tournament.
[22:44] It was in July, the 10th and 11th.
[22:48] The snow college filled 360 participants.
[22:53] They were requesting $4,500, but the board recommended $3,500.
[22:57] There was the football camp, it was the 2026 Fish like team, football camp, they had teams
[23:06] in quite a few areas, they did it in Richfield, they did stay in Mochahouse, it was one of
[23:15] the last time they had kind of stay out on the fields and down the fairgrounds and stuff,
[23:20] So they did stay in that.
[23:23] So anyway, they had 485 participants and then qualifies
[23:32] for like 3,000, but where they
[23:35] were requesting 36, they gave them a 36.
[23:40] They approved the 36.
[23:45] Okay.
[23:46] So those recommendations, I think we can approve, I mean, appreciate you presenting those
[23:51] We can, I think we feel okay about the recommendations from the travel council, travel advice report, maybe with the first one, their recommendation on the chamber magazine.
[24:07] Do you want to approve everything but that, have them give us some more detail on this chamber magazine or tree?
[24:15] They're out here in the hallway. You can look at them, but it's just however you feel I think we take your recommendation on this one
[24:21] So which is which is the board's recommendation is to prove it. Yeah, and what would your recommendation be?
[24:28] I'm just wondering if we need to
[24:30] Visit with the North severe and see the thing but I worry a little bit about doubling their what their ask is. I don't know
[24:45] here and we are not doing anything for the same thing for the Salina Chamber.
[24:52] And so I'll make a motion to approve 5,000 and then maybe have more discussion with
[25:00] them on another time and visit with Salina if we need to send some that way.
[25:05] I'll second that motion.
[25:06] Okay.
[25:07] That's what I'm like.
[25:07] And then maybe your motion would be to accept the other recommendations as presented.
[25:12] Okay. We're good. With that motion, then I'll call for vote. All those in favor of that motion has been outlined, approving 5,000 for the Chamber magazine and then agreeing and authorizing the payment on the other, the other, I guess, recommendations.
[25:30] All those in favor of that motion say aye. Aye.
[25:33] by opposing the motion passes you now, Miss.
[25:38] Okay.
[25:39] Yes.
[25:40] If I could, I'd let it back in.
[25:41] I'm going to correct myself here.
[25:43] I'm going back into the agreement with you, Doc.
[25:45] Okay.
[25:46] And you use the formidable install.
[25:48] Yeah.
[25:48] They will install.
[25:49] Okay.
[25:51] You don't will install the system.
[25:53] Well, they will.
[25:53] Yeah.
[25:54] Yeah.
[25:54] With the cost curve.
[25:56] Yes.
[25:57] Now install it.
[25:58] But that could mean...
[26:00] Does that mean we paid for their installation?
[26:03] I think there's no language that we pay for and the agreement says they'll install it.
[26:10] So I can confirm that with them.
[26:11] I think that's how we'll just, if I'll revamp my motion, we'll approve it.
[26:16] As long as they're installing it.
[26:18] Be nothing.
[26:19] That'd be a good move for Kenny.
[26:22] Well, thank you for that.
[26:23] So we'll go back and then accept Commissioner Brad's motion to approve that project.
[26:31] Then so I'll confirm and with your confirmation. Yeah, I'll confirm that it's okay. I don't take care of that side
[26:37] They identify the pole and everything they'll connect to okay, they use the word install
[26:44] Install operates
[26:45] I think they're asking looks like the county's just a just a king
[26:50] Router's okay way I read it. They're just asking us to pay for the driver's in. Oh, yeah, we can do that
[26:56] So we know what a meter on it. You know, there's there's a minimum
[27:04] Okay. Well, with that additional information then we'll call for a vote on this motion
[27:09] that will then approve our joining in and allowing that project to take place with
[27:16] knowing we'll pay for the power but they'll pay for everything else. All those in favor
[27:21] that motion say aye. I oppose any. That motion then passes unanimous.
[27:26] Well, thank you for that. Malcolm, that helps us get that done then. So, okay, maybe just
[27:35] a little brief, maybe information about the black hawk. The black hawk is now in the
[27:41] processes of advertising for a new manager for the black hawk. Jake Van is stepping down,
[27:50] give these two ignores and he's going to be leaving and so they will be they'll
[27:56] be putting an ad in the paper requesting people to apply for the job and
[28:03] when that job is filled then they'll also put out another request for a
[28:08] part-time person so I think that's in the process. They figure they can do what
[28:13] they've got to people that'll kind of carry the load until they get somebody
[28:17] hired a great job. It's a taxi job. It's a 24-7 365 days a year, sometimes it's a dirty job.
[28:27] No, it's just like a dairy. You're there every day, whatever. With that, we'll move to the next item,
[28:37] consider recommendations on the tax abatement applications. That's in our packet here. I think we
[28:45] We have three to consider and that looks like they need to be looked at and maybe possibly
[28:55] denied because they are income over the allowable limit and that's on our paperwork here.
[29:03] Is that right Steve?
[29:06] What's your reply to the income?
[29:09] If I can get all the income out of it, it's above the threshold.
[29:12] It's above the threshold.
[29:13] Okay.
[29:13] Okay. Any other questions on those requests there?
[29:19] Recommendations. To follow the recommendations.
[29:22] Okay. Does not approve them because of their income.
[29:25] Okay. No second that.
[29:26] Moving second that we then deny those applications because of their income being over the, over the allowable limit.
[29:32] All those in favor of that motion say aye.
[29:35] Aye.
[29:35] Oppose nay.
[29:37] That motion passes unanimous.
[29:42] The last item is to consider a quest to purchase county-owned parcels and it's listed them at 3-192F-41 and 3-192F-42.
[29:57] to be able to pick.
[30:02] Requesting that asking if they could buy the property, I guess, Malcolm, is that right, then? Yeah, that's correct. These are in the addition. These are the parcels that we plan on using our sets for some housing demonstration. So, yeah, so we want to keep them. Yeah, but they've made a request and so the appropriate thing to do is to consider the request and then give them your answer, but those are properties you're designated for that right now. Okay.
[30:32] I see no reason to change our plan there with that that I would accept the motion that
[30:41] we can either request or purchase of those properties based on the fact that those properties
[30:47] are part of what the county is trying to accomplish in changing the dynamics of the elsewhere
[30:54] condition and future projects we had man the plan there. I'll second your motion. You
[31:00] made the motion. Okay and then we'll go ahead and call for a vote. A little favor that
[31:06] say aye. Aye. Aye. Post-Nay. Okay. Well with that we have one more item before you
[31:14] germine. One thing I want to just also mention with the Monroe fire last year the very
[31:20] first a little rainstorm it pretty much shut off Monroe's spring that's out
[31:26] the canyon and so this about two months ago Monroe received a grant for a
[31:31] million dollars to drill a well and about three weeks ago they had the pad
[31:36] ready and well rigs started to show up and Saturday or Friday they were
[31:43] drilling they were drilling they were drilling before that yeah so they the
[31:47] Well, it fixes that, you know, a week ago Saturday, Sunday, I went by, but I know
[31:52] it's I went by Saturday, they're, they're, they're getting in the ground.
[31:56] And so just that I'm happy for a murderer that they have that hopefully a secondary
[32:00] source coming ASAP, you know, to protect that community.
[32:05] Okay.
[32:05] Yeah, be fun.
[32:07] And so we'll, we will appreciate that report now going to our business and information
[32:12] for the prior meeting, the first of this meeting then right, his report can go under our business
[32:22] sense, so we will now adjourn.
