[0:01] All right. Good morning everyone. This is our regular staff meeting of Tuesday,

[0:06] September the 8th. Call the meeting to order. Um under announcements.

[0:14] So on August 18th, 2026, there was a primary ballot measure asking shall the

[0:19] Sheridan County Senior Citizen Service District be established.

[0:23] And per Wyoming statute 18-15-103, the Sharon Mort County Commissioners

[0:30] need to enter that fact that the election vote was in favor of

[0:33] establishing the district. Please let the minutes reflect this statement.

[0:39] Moving on to warrant review and approval. Um Ashley, anything of note

[0:43] this morning? >> No matter.

[0:45] » Thank you. Ask if there are any questions on page

[0:50] one of six. 2

[0:58] 3

[1:01] 4

[1:05] 5

[1:10] and six.

[1:14] » Okay. I would look for a motion if there are no questions on boards.

[1:20] » Yes. I move to approve the warrants as presented.

[1:23] » Second. >> Have a motion and a second. Any

[1:25] discussion? All those in favor, please signify by

[1:28] saying I. >> Those opposed? Motion carries. Move into

[1:33] staff and elect reports. Good morning.

[1:41] » Madam chair, members of the board. So, uh, your planning commission met,

[1:47] uh, last Tuesday, September 3rd. They had three items. Uh,

[1:56] 4J ranch reszone 80acre proposal on the upper road,

[2:04] Paradise Park, North Park. Uh they voted to recommend the dial with that item.

[2:14] Pegasus utility easement vacation. It was recommended for approval

[2:19] was simply a utility out out. We have lots of those. So people own a couple

[2:25] lots. They want to build across lots. So with input from the utilities and the

[2:33] powder group that was recommended uh 3T Enterprises uh access easement u

[2:43] there's a 60 foot wide access easement that goes into their storage units up up

[2:52] the hill here and uh they're meeting to install some gates for security purposes

[2:58] and that was also recommended for approval. Um, city staff was had

[3:07] different comments on that one. Um, the uh utilities folks, water, etc. They

[3:15] they were okay with it. Fire dis I'm sorry, fire marshall, he

[3:20] was sort of okay with it and the planning office was not okay with it. So

[3:26] » you have variety of comments >> the planning commission saw bit to go in

[3:36] I don't have the dates that you'll see them but they'll be coming. Uh the

[3:41] conley's uh have resubmitted an application for a preliminary plat on

[3:48] off of high road that I consider earlier. They've uh dropped a lot.

[3:55] They're down to six lots and uh no variance request for this one. So, we'll

[4:01] see how that goes. So, it'll be a while before you see that one, probably

[4:05] December likely. So, um the uh joint planning area update uh

[4:13] project uh kickoff meeting was last Friday. uh

[4:18] uh reviewed the uh project scope, schedule, budget, etc. Um clarified uh

[4:26] consult the client roles and uh talk a bit about communication engagements

[4:32] strategies. We may be looking at a advisory

[4:36] committee where folks would appoint folks to to be on that from from the

[4:41] citizens as well as the city would likely appoint

[4:46] people to that as well. So haven't settled on that strategy yet, but I

[4:52] wouldn't be surprised we do that. So anyway, about it.

[4:57] » Any questions for Mark? >> Thank you.

[5:03] Coco

[5:09] morning county engineer just a couple FYI things. Uh we have a road and bridge

[5:17] mechanic or mechanic turned into resation. So we're looking for

[5:23] » Yeah, Ryan was good. Yeah, he was a good but took employment other places.

[5:29] Uh we got our nationwide permits from the core 13 and 27 for the clean burn

[5:35] project. So it's out advertised for we're advertising I think first

[5:38] advertising the paper today for about three beats. I think we bids October

[5:44] 10th or there so

[5:49] uh road bridge is out doing some more graveling. went to spot growling last

[5:53] week and then they're I think they're graveling on road on the east end of

[5:57] road this week. So that's that's about all

[6:02] » questions for Madam Chair. >> Yeah.

[6:05] » Um Ken, I know we talked about this uh not too long ago, but at some point in

[6:09] the near future, could we kind of get an update on uh the Willow Avenue area?

[6:13] » Sure. Yeah, we're still kind of wrestling with that narrow rightway on

[6:18] that north end, but we should have something maybe the recommendation

[6:23] maybe. What do you guys want to do go going forward? But that two blocks, it's

[6:28] the counties.

[6:32] » People are getting through there using it quite a bit. Pretty a lot of people

[6:37] using it, >> but we haven't fixed any of the drainage

[6:42] issues. >> Yeah. Right. Right. Okay.

[6:46] » Any other questions? >> Madam Chair, I just I uh went through

[6:50] Key Tone Road last night um and and just like to let the road bridge know that

[6:55] both ends where they did the work on that. It's way better than it was.

[6:59] Obviously, we're not going to go all the way through there, but but the the both

[7:03] ends where they rebuilt the road and regraveled it, big improvement. probably

[7:09] people will get quite a bit farther before they get stuck.

[7:14] » But uh >> yeah, double-edged sword.

[7:17] » Yeah. Yeah. But it is it is a nice improvement on both ends.

[7:23] » I'll pass it along. >> Thank you.

[7:26] » Thank you, Ken. Um Ashley, anything else for us this time?

[7:32] Diana? Nope. For later. Okay. Jesse. >> No, Madam Chair.

[7:36] » Robert,

[7:45] » morning. Robert Gail, Shering County Airport Manager. Um, just wanted to

[7:49] provide the board uh with an update on conversations with Sky West in regard to

[7:54] capacity. We've uh it's definitely been a a conversation for quite a while and

[8:00] dove back into it here recently. And I I guess just to provide a recap um in

[8:06] March we took a look at projections um where we were sitting and with the uh

[8:11] theou we hold with the state we did have that amendment updating those numbers um

[8:16] we were able to lower the contract m maximum substantially was just how we

[8:21] were performing and um essentially that's that's how we budgeted for air

[8:27] service based off that contract maximum and I think we did have a little bit

[8:30] extra in there this here just with that avenue hadn't been signed by the

[8:34] attorney general's office yet and we have rising fuel costs. So, um that's

[8:40] how we had things budgeted. Um this summer we've performed great. Um and

[8:47] here recently revisited that with Sky West and um took another look at their

[8:52] projections and um they've they've basically got that contract maximum

[8:58] close to a third of what we even had in March. um so we've discussed looking at

[9:04] um adding an aircraft. >> Um

[9:09] let them know that uh appetite for budgeting anything further probably

[9:13] wouldn't be there and I think the state agreed on their end as well too. Um but

[9:18] with where those contract maximums are are at they feel like they can add

[9:23] capacity and with how we're performing. Um, also with that, uh, with

[9:28] efficiencies gained and the economies of scale, bringing more aircraft into here,

[9:32] um, we also discussed dropping the blockout rate back, fixed cost by about

[9:36] 1.75%. So they bring more aircraft in here,

[9:39] it's going to be a little cheaper per flight hour. Um, so what I'd like to

[9:44] recommend is moving forward to um an additional four flights a week starting

[9:50] in January and then um towards that peak season uh

[9:55] beginning of that peak season in May, June, bumping up to three flights daily.

[9:59] Um Sky West fully thinks we can support it and it's not going to affect what's

[10:04] budgeted. Um anything past that contract maximum Sky West picks up. Um,

[10:13] so I don't know if there needs to be formal action taken or if that's just an

[10:16] administrative decision and you guys are good with me just reaching out to Sky

[10:19] West, but that's that's what I would recommend doing. Um, it's there's

[10:23] there's not any risk there. >> And I I don't think Clint unless since

[10:27] the change in the budget, it would be administrative. Um,

[10:31] » an extra flight's fantastic. >> Outstanding.

[10:35] » Great news. I think we've certainly been patient on building this up and we're at

[10:39] a point where yeah, we can definitely add that in and uh it's not going to

[10:43] change what we've what we've had planned.

[10:45] » Okay, any questions for Robert? >> Great.

[10:51] » And then uh another item that I wanted to touch on was um

[10:56] proposals um or or discuss uh looking at proposals that kind of go outside of

[11:01] what we have defined as far as leasing. Um, right now we have our business park,

[11:07] the executive hangers area. Um, we've got those incorporated, the leasing

[11:11] rules, and occasionally I I get a proposal tossed out or an idea tossed

[11:16] out on something that kind of goes outside of that. Um, I had one come up

[11:20] here recently and now um, looks like the party really wants to move forward with

[11:24] doing something that's kind of outside of those leasing rules and essentially

[11:28] be north of where the executive hanger area is at. Um,

[11:35] long term or in our master plan and that would be like an executive hanger phase

[11:38] 2 area. Um got that identified but there's no record of survey. There's no

[11:44] infrastructure there, electric, water, sewer, gas, roadway. Um but I got

[11:50] somebody that wants to build there and they're willing to take that

[11:53] infrastructure to that area um just with uh kind of negotiating on um

[12:00] maybe I would say more favorable leasing terms. um doing a 40-year agreement and

[12:06] um calling it kind of undeveloped land since there is no infrastructure there.

[12:11] So doing a little bit of a lower ground lease rate

[12:14] certainly works out well for both parties because getting that

[12:17] infrastructure there is expensive for the airport. So if they're willing to do

[12:20] it on their own dime that's great. Um, I think our leasing rules have really

[12:27] covered a good transparent way to to uh for everybody to view these proposals.

[12:34] So, I I guess we don't really have something like that to define if we want

[12:37] to move forward other than I was thinking maybe we asked this party to

[12:41] give us a formal proposal and we still could um publish it online, publish it

[12:47] in the in the paper and hold a public hearing so anybody could comment on it

[12:50] if they wanted to. Um I don't know if there's any thoughts on feelings on that

[12:56] but um I could certainly see moving forward with this project.

[13:00] » So Madam Chair, so how far north is it? Just across the taxi way there up to

[13:05] Airport Road or is it further west and north on that more undeveloped stuff?

[13:10] » So we we kind of have that developed area that's further south. They've got

[13:14] the Sheridan Pilots hanger. Then we've got some county um box hangers. They

[13:19] just want to go north of that. So they're okay.

[13:22] » Yeah. So they want to extend. >> Okay. I thought it was north of Big Horn

[13:25] Airways building is where >> it's kind of out in that stretch, but

[13:30] still um >> getting all that infrastructure extended

[13:33] to start developing that area is quite costly and they're willing to do it. So

[13:38] » Okay. Yeah. I'd say we to see a formal proposal.

[13:42] And then Robert, um, >> it's been a busy summer, but I was

[13:48] curious, has the committee met? We had that committee that was looking at the

[13:54] agreements, >> the kind of had to put those on hold if

[13:58] we, you know, with >> we came pretty short staff this winter

[14:03] and all the projects came off. I just haven't

[14:06] » Well, the FAA here and Yeah. Yeah. >> Yeah. Okay. So, it's certainly on the

[14:10] radar, but it's something we had to jump back to yet.

[14:13] » Okay. >> And then just wanted to let you guys

[14:16] know I'll be attending the airline rendevous in Jacksonville um leaving

[14:20] town uh tomorrow midday. They'll be out of the office the rest of the week. And

[14:26] then I also know you guys received a letter on offering additional services

[14:30] up the airport. That's something I just haven't been able to digest yet or

[14:34] unravel yet to hear. So, believe you guys got a letter.

[14:39] That's all I got. >> Okay. Any questions for Robert?

[14:43] » Appreciate the updates. Safe travels. >> Amy,

[14:48] good morning. Good morning.

[14:58] » Hey, good chair. Morning commissioners. Uh Amy Long, library director.

[15:06] uh have a couple of announcements for you this morning. You do have a handout

[15:11] that I also emailed out. I did catch one correction that I will correct and email

[15:17] this morning. Uh the Bulmer Branch Library is going to be closing for a

[15:23] short period of time in order to uh collapse the timeline for the

[15:29] renovations. Um, this is driven by the deadlines for the reimbursement grant

[15:35] that we're receiving through the state library. Uh, the grant is the Wyoming

[15:41] library multi-purpose community facility program subgrant. Uh, which is why you

[15:46] have it in your handout. Um, just to give you the dates, they're up at the

[15:50] top of your handout. So, the key dates for the closure are September 19th

[15:55] through 26th. It will be a full closure where we pause all services. And this is

[16:00] because we have to pull all of the books off of the shelves in the fiction

[16:04] section, move the shelving into the children's area, and then put all of the

[16:09] books back up because we would like to keep as much of the collection available

[16:13] and circulating as possible, and they have to be in order. Um, and then we

[16:18] will reopen for limited services. um opening the youth services desk as our

[16:24] main circulation point. Um those services will be very similar to what we

[16:29] had available during COVID which was holds pickup ill account services

[16:34] checking in and out um as much as we can. We'll be fetching books both from

[16:39] the inner circle which is uh the non-fiction collection that's still

[16:42] available um that staff have been fetching so far as well as the fiction

[16:46] and children's collections. Um and then uh November 9th through 13th once the

[16:54] renovations are completed in the adult colle in the adult section, we will uh

[16:59] put up all the shelves, get all of the collection back on the shelves. Um so

[17:03] we'll be fully closed during that portion so we can concentrate on that

[17:07] and then we'll reopen to full services with a fully renovated Fulmer Library on

[17:12] November 16th. Um then after that uh I don't have the exact date uh to start

[17:19] yet because that depends on the subcontractor schedule for starting the

[17:23] slab work in the Wyoming room but then the Wyoming room renovation would begin.

[17:28] Um the Wyoming room portion of the renovation is separate from the grant

[17:32] and so it can start after the grant deadlines are finished. Um, and that was

[17:39] uh the one correction I saw under grant information details. Bullet three, the

[17:45] award for 1.75 million was secured for all four branches. Um, and their library

[17:51] renovations. It was library specific, which is why the Wyoming room was not

[17:55] included. That's an archive. It has a different kind of purpose than a

[17:59] library, so it didn't qualify for the grant. Um

[18:04] uh additionally uh you might be wondering what about the

[18:08] elevator? We have been in contact with the technician uh that serves the whole

[18:12] region, the only technician that serves the

[18:16] whole region of our particular elevator. Um and we are trying to get them

[18:20] scheduled during this closure period so that hopefully we reopen with a

[18:24] functioning elevator as well. Um, additionally, this document is hopefully

[18:31] also going to serve for anyone who's answering the phones of the county in

[18:35] case you guys get questions. It provides phone numbers for specific um questions

[18:42] around accounts or events and people they can contact via email or phone

[18:47] number so that they can get right to the person that they might need to answer

[18:51] their question. as well as some frequently asked questions um pointing

[18:55] them to a a very quick script that they could answer. Um and so that is on the

[19:02] closure. Additionally, Story is the only small branch that had an issue with the

[19:07] renovation. We are at we have fixed the issue with the lighting and the ceiling.

[19:14] Um and we are hoping to do the substantial completion walk this week.

[19:17] It hasn't been scheduled yet, but it should happen this week with Arette at

[19:21] Odell. Um, and so they should be knocked on Laminate. Um, it should be open next

[19:30] week. Um, they do have their furniture. It has been in top offic's um, warehouse

[19:35] and so that should also arrive as soon as we do the substantial completion. So

[19:40] that story would be open and operational. They have been operating

[19:43] out of their other spaces. Um and the other two smaller branches have had

[19:48] their furniture and have been operating. Um and they would not be impacted by

[19:52] this closure. Also, homebound delivery would not be impacted by this closure.

[19:57] Um and so that is the Fulmer closure. The other announcement I just wanted to

[20:03] make is that our part-time employee um out in Claremont, we were just about to

[20:08] open for our additional hours, but um that person did need to resign due to an

[20:14] unforeseen um issue that that is perfectly reasonable um reason for that.

[20:20] Um so I will have to repost that position, but they did provide really

[20:24] great feedback on the hours and schedule and so I think we'll get a lot more

[20:28] tapers based on their feedback. So, we will be posting that in their newsletter

[20:32] and in the branch and during this closure will be a great opportunity to

[20:36] get that position filled and um try to extend those hours again hopefully in

[20:41] October. Um also uh my administrative assistant accepted a position

[20:47] internally. So, I will be hiring a part-time administrative assistant in

[20:51] Fulmer also during this time. So, uh just to let you know those were also

[20:56] happening. Any questions? Yeah. Any questions for Amy? Appreciate

[21:01] the updates. Yeah. No, no, no questions. Thank you.

[21:06] » Thanks for being here this morning. Absolutely. Thank you.

[21:09] » Good luck with all the construction.

[21:13] » All right. Uh Eric,

[21:25] Eric, maintenance. Uh just giving you guys a heads up. We did have a crew

[21:30] member here but in his for his retirement at the end of the month. So

[21:35] we are advertising for that replacement. >> Any questions for

[21:43] » thanks for the hit that appreciate it.

[21:50] Kelly.

[22:06] » Good morning, Madam Chair, Commissioners. Levi Demia, Shar Sheriff.

[22:10] Um, just to give you a heads up as well, we had a a control operator who had to

[22:14] leave uh move back to uh out of state for family reasons. So, we'll be

[22:19] advertising for a position for that for a control room operator. And we had a

[22:24] detention deputy after 15 years of being with the sheriff's office. She's been

[22:28] working very hard to get her counseling license and and was able to do that,

[22:34] finish all of that about a year ago, has been kind of doing some part-time work

[22:37] and she's to the point where she's going to go do that full-time and so she has

[22:41] uh moved on to do that. So, we'll be um advertising for a position for that as

[22:45] well. So, >> congrats to her. Yeah, that's great. Any

[22:49] questions for Sheriff? Okay, thanks Lee. I appreciate it. Quit

[22:56] chamber. >> Madam chair, commissioners. Um, just a

[23:00] heads up. I'll be up on Thursday and then next week the auditors will be in

[23:04] building on

[23:08] Jennings. Um, I've got some family coming in this week, so I'll be in and

[23:12] out. >> Mr. Rzy,

[23:15] » it's just going to be a busy day today. Three meetings, so I'll be out. Yeah,

[23:23] » I'll be out Thursday. Have to take my wife to Billings for a medical

[23:27] appointment. >> Okay.

[23:28] » Other than that, I'm around. >> Mr. Right.

[23:30] » Nothing at the moment. >> I don't have anything either. We will

[23:35] move on to item five. Consider a word of a bid for the design build addition and

[23:40] renovation of the public defending building. Call on Cameron Deministrative

[23:44] director. >> Commissioners. Um we opened up the bit

[23:49] for this um building. It's the building right in the north of the county

[23:55] attorney's office. Um it was designed uh to go out for the

[24:01] public defender office space. Um we received five bids. Um just for the

[24:06] record, I'm just going to read off those uh totals. And it's this is in the order

[24:12] that they were received, not in the order of any other reason. FDL

[24:17] Consulting LLC with Odell Construction was 59,550.

[24:22] Roadhouse um construction with Ironsburg architecture was 112,400.

[24:29] Dick Anderson construction with the Evolve Architecture was 110,363.

[24:35] venue in construction with the rent design group was $110,919.50

[24:43] and in your app construction with QC10 architects was 49,100.

[24:51] Um there were some other add-ons in a few of these bids for uh geotechnical

[24:57] reports and asbestous and topography. I put that up and um put them on as as

[25:03] needed. But at this point the the goal was we had to have a design. Um we have

[25:09] to go ahead and our goal was to add space um about 800 so square feet to the

[25:16] south side of that building. And a lot of the cost of this is just the design

[25:22] construction. This does not include any of the actual removal. So not single

[25:27] mail going into it. Um if we go ahead and expand out uh just be prepared that

[25:34] uh the city and with code we will have to update the older section of the

[25:39] building. So at this point I'm not necessarily going to I didn't submit a

[25:43] memo and saying which one um I would go with but there is quite a discrepancy in

[25:49] the bids. Uh they were all consistent in the sense they covered every aspect that

[25:56] I requested. Um, so this isn't about quality of submissions. This is really

[26:03] just passing on to you. You've had a chance to look at the documents. So I'll

[26:07] just stand for any questions at this time.

[26:11] » Any questions for Cameron? Um, Cameron, I know we talked about kind of that

[26:17] increased cost of construction because we need to get it up to code and there

[26:22] had been recommendations from some of the contractors it sounds like about

[26:28] just dozing it, starting from scratch. Um,

[26:34] I I guess I would just open it up for that conversation. Um, I feel like Well,

[26:39] I'll just open that up. >> I don't care. Yes, there there was a

[26:43] question multiple questions raised during the pre-bid meeting.

[26:48] » Um if you looked at the existing building as it is right now, it was

[26:53] built in seconds and so there is some slope to it. If you're trying to add on,

[27:00] let's say ft of brand new construction, you have

[27:06] to bring the other side up to code as well.

[27:09] There was a lot of um I guess concern and for each of them they they said yeah

[27:15] the easiest way is to tear down the other and just put up what you want. So

[27:20] right now it's about 1,100 square feet. If you add 800 that's 1,900. So

[27:25] remodeling the old couldn't cost as much as tearing down and starting from

[27:29] scratch on a blank slate. So that was comments that were received by bidtors.

[27:36] » So I'm just having

[27:40] perfect world. Would we ever want more than 1,900 square feet? Would

[27:46] would this change or would that be a bare minimum? Would

[27:51] we outgrow that in five years? >> Madam Chair, um if you look at just the

[27:57] attorney's office next door, there's two floors. So if you look at other

[28:00] buildings, there's multiple floors. If you are going to say in 5 years, oh, we

[28:07] we want to increase this, then you just wasted the money to build it at,900 ft.

[28:13] If your goal is to do a two level right from the start, then you probably should

[28:18] do a two floors right from the start, >> right?

[28:22] But for right now in the public defenders space, um, with the number of

[28:29] staff they have, they could fit. Um, but I'm not saying

[28:35] what society is doing, but the sheer volume of increases at case loads.

[28:42] » Yeah, I could see the state adding more staff in the future.

[28:50] comments, questions, >> Madam Chair.

[28:53] » Yeah, Commissioner. >> At the risk of being blunt, I'm not for

[28:56] any of these.

[29:01] » Okay. And why? Can you follow up with that, Commissioner Ray, for me?

[29:06] » I can follow. >> What's your thinking? I'm I'm I'm

[29:09] thinking that we uh know Eric under the bus, but I'm

[29:14] thinking internally we put fresh coats of paint, we clean, we maybe put new

[29:21] flooring down, we spruce it up, and we try to work internally to make it a

[29:28] usable space. Not necessarily for the public defender, but we move people

[29:34] around to get people where they have enough room, whether it is another

[29:41] department that moves over there and then public defenders move into their

[29:45] space. >> But the idea of spending

[29:49] north of half a million dollars to I mean all these numbers are just for

[29:55] design, right? The actual construction,

[30:01] I'm guessing, is going to be half a million at least. So, I'm not in favor

[30:05] of doing any of any of that. I think we need to work

[30:09] with what we have just to be conservative with our funds.

[30:14] » Okay. >> Moments. Yeah.

[30:18] » Um, you know, it appears to me statutoily we're required to provide an

[30:23] office for the public defenders. certainly doesn't say that it has to be

[30:27] 1,900 square feet. That that facility over there. Um I went over with Cameron

[30:34] and Commissioner Jennings this morning and we looked at it certainly wasn't

[30:38] nearly as bad as I was led to believe that it was going to be. Um and I think

[30:44] it's it's fairly habitable with like Commissioner Wright said, certainly it

[30:48] needs a good cleaning. It needs some paint. Um probably

[30:53] different flooring put in the put in it. Um maybe a petition put in between the

[30:59] front entryway and the office there. It would be a lot more minor than than the

[31:06] amount of money that we'd be spending. We simply I just I agree with

[31:12] Commissioner Wright in the fact that we didn't we didn't acquire that property

[31:17] so that we could tear it down and spend a half a million dollars there. So, I'm

[31:23] in in agreement with Commissioner Wright and and looking and that we still we

[31:28] continue to look at all the options of what we have for space in the courthouse

[31:33] as opposed to space over there for like Commissioner Wright said maybe moving

[31:37] some people around or something of that nature.

[31:46] Madam Chair, >> um, you know, I actually, uh, just like

[31:51] Commissioner Siddle said, I was picturing this building my mind because

[31:55] I've only ever seen pictures. Uh, walking in it, it really is not in as

[32:00] bad a shape as I thought it was. And so I I'm more for along the lines of

[32:06] agreeing as to let's let's do a little bit of sprucing up. Let's see what we

[32:10] can do with it. And then maybe down the road, you know, a year or so or five

[32:15] years, it's if it's not working, then we discuss something along that lines and

[32:20] maybe we start preparing for that and >> in 5 years or whatever, we we look

[32:27] again. >> I

[32:30] I personally would uh you know, it's a great location next to the attorney's

[32:36] office, close to the courthouse. Um, I'd like to think that we're designing

[32:41] something that fits us in 2550 years. Um, and I I don't

[32:48] know if we have a vision of that at this point. Um,

[32:53] yeah.

[32:58] Any other comments, Cameron? Any other comments?

[33:05] I guess my only comment manager my comment is um

[33:11] » these vendors put a lot of work into this. We asked them to submit what

[33:18] was requested. They did everything correctly. Um but yeah, the costs are

[33:24] going to be extensive with this. They're not trying to sugarcoat it.

[33:29] But if I had to recommend any of the five could have done it. So, I just want

[33:34] to be on the record that each of these entities did what I asked them to do.

[33:46] » So, I'm I'm sensing we're not making a

[33:50] motion for any of these today.

[33:56] » That's my story.

[34:01] » Quick. Okay. Um, I guess do we we want a motion

[34:10] to or or I guess it's a head nod to Cameron

[34:14] to look at costs for paint carpet.

[34:20] » Madam Chair, >> just to be clear, you want me to contact

[34:24] all five and say we are not proceeding with this project?

[34:29] » Would we need a motion to that effect? wouldn't have to. You're just giving

[34:34] direction to your employee. You could if you'd like. You know,

[34:39] you're not prohibited from >> that is the sense I'm getting, Cry,

[34:45] since no one's going to speak up. >> Thank you. And that's for um the rest

[34:52] get you some estimates. >> All right. Our next item is executive

[34:59] session uh pursuant to state statute 16-4-45A3

[35:04] matters concerning litigation. And I'd look for a motion.

[35:08] » Madam Chair, >> yes.

[35:09] » Move to convene executive session pursuant to W statute 16-4-40583

[35:17] concerning the litigation. >> Second. We have a motion and a second.

[35:23] All those in favor signify by saying I. I

[35:26] » opposed. Motion carries. We'll move into executive session. Thanks, folks.

[35:41] I'll let her get the door first. Sorry. >> Good.

[35:46] » All right. >> Madam Chair, I move to reconvene into

[35:49] regular session. >> Second.

[35:51] » Motion in a second. All those in favor signify by saying I. I those opposed

[35:55] motion carries with that we are ajourned at 9:42
