contributing to the systems

298
00:04:39,363 --> 00:04:40,531
that they used

299
00:04:40,531 --> 00:04:41,310
to take from

300
00:04:41,310 --> 00:04:41,365

, they are now

312
00:04:50,740 --> 00:04:50,374

. But

345
00:05:14,632 --> 00:05:15,399

00:05:23,508 --> 00:05:23,975
are coming

357
00:05:23,975 --> 00:05:25,476
back to us

358
00:05:25,476 --> 00:05:26,770

361
00:05:27,879 --> 00:05:28,513

362
00:05:28,513 --> 00:05:30,480
at least from

363
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:30,715
addiction. I need

364
00:05:30,715 --> 00:05:31,115

372
00:05:39,223 --> 00:05:39,857

416
00:06:10,388 --> 00:06:10,689
, a

417
00:06:10,689 --> 00:06:10,956
lot

418
00:06:10,956 --> 00:06:11,390
of relief

419
00:06:11,390 --> 00:06:13,291
in our

420
00:06:13,291 --> 00:06:14,893
emergency rooms. Um

421
00:06:14,893 --> 00:06:15,527
,

422
00:06:15,527 --> 00:06:16,228
rehabilitation happens. This is

423
00:06:16,228 --> 00:06:16,962
the second piece is that

424
00:06:16,962 --> 00:06:17,663
we

425
00:06:17,663 --> 00:06:17,896
spend a lot of resources

426
00:06:17,896 --> 00:06:18,329
on

427
00:06:18,329 --> 00:06:19,764
rehabilitation

428
00:06:19,764 --> 00:06:20,165
, sending people

429
00:06:20,165 --> 00:06:20,399
to inpatient

430
00:06:20,399 --> 00:06:21,833
and

431
00:06:21,833 --> 00:06:22,401
outpatient

432
00:06:22,401 --> 00:06:23,935
treatment programs

433
00:06:23,935 --> 00:06:24,202
, um, and

434
00:06:24,202 --> 00:06:24,970
, uh

435
00:06:24,970 --> 00:06:26,380
our newly opened Star Center

436
00:06:26,380 --> 00:06:26,505
,

437
00:06:26,505 --> 00:06:27,172
which we all

438
00:06:27,172 --> 00:06:28,240
are celebrating

439
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:28,874
,

440
00:06:28,874 --> 00:06:29,208
uh, is will be a huge

441
00:06:29,208 --> 00:06:29,540
. Help to

442
00:06:29,540 --> 00:06:31,210
people

443
00:06:31,210 --> 00:06:31,510
that that

444
00:06:31,510 --> 00:06:31,877
rehabilitative

445
00:06:31,877 --> 00:06:33,312
journey

446
00:06:33,312 --> 00:06:33,579
. And so this is

447
00:06:33,579 --> 00:06:33,878
, um,

448
00:06:33,878 --> 00:06:35,848
this

449
00:06:35,848 --> 00:06:36,348
, this particular kind of

450
00:06:36,348 --> 00:06:37,716
arm, uh, is

451
00:06:37,716 --> 00:06:38,383
, is the most

452
00:06:38,383 --> 00:06:38,717
expensive treatment. Uh, it

453
00:06:38,717 --> 00:06:40,252
costs

454
00:06:40,252 --> 00:06:40,753
a lot of money to send

455
00:06:40,753 --> 00:06:42,321
people to

456
00:06:42,321 --> 00:06:42,855
inpatient treatment

457
00:06:42,855 --> 00:06:44,222
and, and, and

458
00:06:44,222 --> 00:06:44,790
afterward there's

459
00:06:44,790 --> 00:06:45,324
sort of a medical clinical

460
00:06:45,324 --> 00:06:46,725
components to all

461
00:06:46,725 --> 00:06:47,359
that. We also

462
00:06:47,359 --> 00:06:47,593
it needs to be said, do

463
00:06:47,593 --> 00:06:49,561
, do

464
00:06:49,561 --> 00:06:51,530
some rehabilitation in the

465
00:06:51,530 --> 00:06:52,970
criminal justice system. So in

466
00:06:52,970 --> 00:06:53,432
jails and in prisons

467
00:06:53,432 --> 00:06:54,330
, there's

468
00:06:54,330 --> 00:06:54,433
some rehabilitation that

469
00:06:54,433 --> 00:06:55,835
happens for

470
00:06:55,835 --> 00:06:57,570
people. The

471
00:06:57,570 --> 00:06:58,700
arm of,

472
00:06:58,700 --> 00:06:58,503
of, of what we do is

473
00:06:58,503 --> 00:07:00,306
development

474
00:07:00,306 --> 00:07:01,730
. Um, and this

475
00:07:01,730 --> 00:07:02,174
happens alongside

476
00:07:02,174 --> 00:07:02,508
and

477
00:07:02,508 --> 00:07:03,309
after

478
00:07:03,309 --> 00:07:04,343
rehabilitation. It happens

479
00:07:04,343 --> 00:07:04,943
, um,

480
00:07:04,943 --> 00:07:05,444
when, when people are working

481
00:07:05,444 --> 00:07:06,879
hard to rebuild

482
00:07:06,879 --> 00:07:07,112
their

483
00:07:07,112 --> 00:07:07,646
lives by

484
00:07:07,646 --> 00:07:08,881
going to school

485
00:07:08,881 --> 00:07:09,114
or

486
00:07:09,114 --> 00:07:09,348
by

487
00:07:09,348 --> 00:07:09,949
learning

488
00:07:09,949 --> 00:07:11,183
new, nenenenenenenenene

489
00:07:11,183 --> 00:07:11,339
trades

490
00:07:11,339 --> 00:07:11,717
,

491
00:07:11,717 --> 00:07:12,218
getting a job

492
00:07:12,218 --> 00:07:13,452
, paying

493
00:07:13,452 --> 00:07:13,609
off

494
00:07:13,609 --> 00:07:13,853
debts

495
00:07:13,853 --> 00:07:15,853
um

496
00:07:16,155 --> 00:07:16,389
. Relearning how to be

497
00:07:16,389 --> 00:07:18,389
in

498
00:07:18,491 --> 00:07:19,158
healthy relationships and

499
00:07:19,158 --> 00:07:20,259
figuring out how they want

500
00:07:20,259 --> 00:07:20,726
to

501
00:07:20,726 --> 00:07:21,160
contribute

502
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:22,261
to society

503
00:07:22,261 --> 00:07:22,528
. So this

504
00:07:22,528 --> 00:07:23,290
is

505
00:07:23,290 --> 00:07:23,229
what happens in

506
00:07:23,229 --> 00:07:23,563
recovery

507
00:07:23,563 --> 00:07:25,164
homes

508
00:07:25,164 --> 00:07:25,998
is what happens in the

509
00:07:25,998 --> 00:07:27,330
recovery cafe is

510
00:07:27,330 --> 00:07:27,400
what happens

511
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:27,700
in our

512
00:07:27,700 --> 00:07:28,340
local

513
00:07:28,340 --> 00:07:29,268
community

514
00:07:29,268 --> 00:07:29,535
college

515
00:07:29,535 --> 00:07:30,200
and

516
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:31,303
uh and in

517
00:07:31,303 --> 00:07:31,938
supported

518
00:07:31,938 --> 00:07:32,372
employment when employers take

519
00:07:32,372 --> 00:07:33,940
the time and

520
00:07:33,940 --> 00:07:34,640
effort to go the

521
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:35,941
extra mile to help

522
00:07:35,941 --> 00:07:36,643
somebody

523
00:07:36,643 --> 00:07:38,678
relearn those skills. So

524
00:07:38,678 --> 00:07:39,312
here's

525
00:07:39,312 --> 00:07:39,812
the punchline I talked about,

526
00:07:39,812 --> 00:07:40,380
which I think is

527
00:07:40,380 --> 00:07:40,747
really

528
00:07:40,747 --> 00:07:41,146
important

529
00:07:41,146 --> 00:07:43,146
, is that, um

530
00:07:43,483 --> 00:07:44,617
, That

531
00:07:44,617 --> 00:07:45,418
a

532
00:07:45,418 --> 00:07:45,852
community that supports all

533
00:07:45,852 --> 00:07:47,487
three of

534
00:07:47,487 --> 00:07:47,921
these arms, all three

535
00:07:47,921 --> 00:07:49,489
of these kind

536
00:07:49,489 --> 00:07:49,756
of components

537
00:07:49,756 --> 00:07:50,189
, um

538
00:07:50,189 --> 00:07:50,657
will make a

539
00:07:50,657 --> 00:07:51,491
huge difference

540
00:07:51,491 --> 00:07:52,459
in

541
00:07:52,459 --> 00:07:54,760
the lives of people in recovery

542
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:55,962
and an investment in

543
00:07:55,962 --> 00:07:56,696
the

544
00:07:56,696 --> 00:07:57,297
development piece of that will

545
00:07:57,297 --> 00:07:58,364
keep us from having

546
00:07:58,364 --> 00:07:58,598
to do

547
00:07:58,598 --> 00:07:59,399
the

548
00:07:59,399 --> 00:08:01,234
other two over and over and

549
00:08:01,234 --> 00:08:01,834
over again. The more

550
00:08:01,834 --> 00:08:03,102
development we do

551
00:08:03,102 --> 00:08:03,937
, the more,

552
00:08:03,937 --> 00:08:05,705
the less we have to do relief

553
00:08:05,705 --> 00:08:06,390
and the less we have to

554
00:08:06,390 --> 00:08:06,473
do

555
00:08:06,473 --> 00:08:07,674
rehabilitation

556
00:08:07,674 --> 00:08:08,241
of the same

557
00:08:08,241 --> 00:08:09,709
folks over and over

558
00:08:09,709 --> 00:08:09,976
. So

559
00:08:09,976 --> 00:08:10,136
I am

560
00:08:10,136 --> 00:08:10,677
,

561
00:08:10,677 --> 00:08:11,844
uh, as Monica mentioned

562
00:08:11,844 --> 00:08:12,646
, we are

563
00:08:12,646 --> 00:08:14,547
so privileged to live in. In a

564
00:08:14,547 --> 00:08:15,810
community where that is

565
00:08:15,810 --> 00:08:17,810
recognized and

566
00:08:17,350 --> 00:08:17,818
where efforts

567
00:08:17,818 --> 00:08:18,118
like ours in

568
00:08:18,118 --> 00:08:18,985
, in, in

569
00:08:18,985 --> 00:08:19,519
, uh, in

570
00:08:19,519 --> 00:08:20,720
housing and in the

571
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:21,354
recovery

572
00:08:21,354 --> 00:08:21,755
cafe and another kind of

573
00:08:21,755 --> 00:08:23,156
development

574
00:08:23,156 --> 00:08:23,823
efforts

575
00:08:23,823 --> 00:08:25,459
are

576
00:08:25,459 --> 00:08:26,590
hugely

577
00:08:26,590 --> 00:08:26,259
supported, and I, I

578
00:08:26,259 --> 00:08:26,660
have

579
00:08:26,660 --> 00:08:27,928
colleagues

580
00:08:27,928 --> 00:08:28,561
around the state who

581
00:08:28,561 --> 00:08:29,997
look at us and say, wow

582
00:08:29,997 --> 00:08:30,797
, uh,

583
00:08:30,797 --> 00:08:31,198
that you, that your community

584
00:08:31,198 --> 00:08:32,132
supports you

585
00:08:32,132 --> 00:08:32,532
in

586
00:08:32,532 --> 00:08:32,799
that way

587
00:08:32,799 --> 00:08:33,266
is, is

588
00:08:33,266 --> 00:08:34,834
huge. And so

589
00:08:34,834 --> 00:08:35,335
, uh, and as a

590
00:08:35,335 --> 00:08:36,670
result, there are

591
00:08:36,670 --> 00:08:37,237
, there are

592
00:08:37,237 --> 00:08:37,404
hundreds of people

593
00:08:37,404 --> 00:08:37,771
whose

594
00:08:37,771 --> 00:08:39,239
stories

595
00:08:39,239 --> 00:08:39,940
are different and

596
00:08:39,940 --> 00:08:41,441
changed because of, of

597
00:08:41,441 --> 00:08:42,420
your

598
00:08:42,420 --> 00:08:42,409
support for recovery in the

599
00:08:42,409 --> 00:08:43,710
community

600
00:08:43,710 --> 00:08:44,111
. And

601
00:08:44,111 --> 00:08:44,678
, and then all

602
00:08:44,678 --> 00:08:45,745

00:08:46,447 --> 00:08:47,881
out in that in that

605
00:08:47,881 --> 00:08:48,649
effort. So

. I'm the executive

620
00:09:05,266 --> 00:09:06,600
director for the Recovery Cafe

621
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:06,770
here in Mount Vernon. Uh

622
00:09:06,770 --> 00:09:07,168
,

623
00:09:07,168 --> 00:09:08,169
wanted to give

624
00:09:08,169 --> 00:09:08,468
a

625
00:09:08,468 --> 00:09:09,136
quick update

626
00:09:09,136 --> 00:09:10,271
on the cafe and where we're

627
00:09:10,271 --> 00:09:10,430
at

628
00:09:10,430 --> 00:09:11,380
,

629
00:09:11,380 --> 00:09:12,573
but also just talk about

630
00:09:12,573 --> 00:09:13,273
what

631
00:09:13,273 --> 00:09:13,674
Northstar has been able to

632
00:09:13,674 --> 00:09:15,420
accomplish

633
00:09:15,420 --> 00:09:15,676
, uh, for

634
00:09:15,676 --> 00:09:15,942
. So

635
00:09:15,942 --> 00:09:17,511
in

636
00:09:17,511 --> 00:09:18,212
most

637
00:09:18,212 --> 00:09:19,280
communities, uh, at least

638
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:20,810
in

639
00:09:20,810 --> 00:09:20,748
the conversations I've had with

640
00:09:20,748 --> 00:09:21,716
other EDs across

641
00:09:21,716 --> 00:09:21,916
the

642
00:09:21,916 --> 00:09:22,683
nation.

643
00:09:22,683 --> 00:09:22,950
Most of the cafes work very

644
00:09:22,950 --> 00:09:24,285
much

645
00:09:24,285 --> 00:09:24,618
in

646
00:09:24,618 --> 00:09:26,253
isolation

647
00:09:26,253 --> 00:09:26,887
, very siloed.

648
00:09:26,887 --> 00:09:27,388
They don't have a lot of work

649
00:09:27,388 --> 00:09:28,588
with their county

650
00:09:28,588 --> 00:09:29,323
government,

651
00:09:29,323 --> 00:09:29,724
with their city government. And

652
00:09:29,724 --> 00:09:30,658
when I came

653
00:09:30,658 --> 00:09:31,240
here

654
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:31,893
from Texas, it

655
00:09:31,893 --> 00:09:33,194
was just the complete opposite

656
00:09:33,194 --> 00:09:33,661
of that. It

657
00:09:33,661 --> 00:09:33,961
was immediate that

658
00:09:33,961 --> 00:09:35,496
the

659
00:09:35,496 --> 00:09:36,300
commissioners cared that

660
00:09:36,300 --> 00:09:37,565
the city council

661
00:09:37,565 --> 00:09:37,725
members cared

662
00:09:37,725 --> 00:09:38,332
,

663
00:09:38,332 --> 00:09:39,733
um, and that there was

664
00:09:39,733 --> 00:09:40,368
this

665
00:09:40,368 --> 00:09:40,935
realization that this work

666
00:09:40,935 --> 00:09:42,570
could not be done

667
00:09:42,570 --> 00:09:42,837
in isolation.

668
00:09:42,837 --> 00:09:44,305
Um

669
00:09:44,305 --> 00:09:44,504
, so through the

670
00:09:44,504 --> 00:09:45,206
recovery

671
00:09:45,206 --> 00:09:45,440
task force, through NorthStar,

672
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:46,808
we

673
00:09:46,808 --> 00:09:47,141
have been able to

674
00:09:47,141 --> 00:09:47,675
create

675
00:09:47,675 --> 00:09:48,776
partnerships with

676
00:09:48,776 --> 00:09:48,945
such

677
00:09:48,945 --> 00:09:49,610
great

678
00:09:49,610 --> 00:09:50,712
organizations like Cascade

679
00:09:50,712 --> 00:09:51,412
Job

680
00:09:51,412 --> 00:09:52,130
Corps, going out there and

681
00:09:52,130 --> 00:09:53,810
providing services to

682
00:09:53,810 --> 00:09:53,648
those

683
00:09:53,648 --> 00:09:54,215
kids who have had their

684
00:09:54,215 --> 00:09:55,549
services cut. We've

685
00:09:55,549 --> 00:09:56,451
been able

686
00:09:56,451 --> 00:09:56,851
to go to community court and

687
00:09:56,851 --> 00:09:58,520
establish

688
00:09:58,520 --> 00:09:58,686
a voucher program

689
00:09:58,686 --> 00:09:59,287
there, work very closely with

690
00:09:59,287 --> 00:10:00,922
them. Same with drug

691
00:10:00,922 --> 00:10:02,223
. Court

692
00:10:02,223 --> 00:10:02,757
, um

693
00:10:02,757 --> 00:10:03,424
and just many other

694
00:10:03,424 --> 00:10:04,825
partnerships which I could

695
00:10:04,825 --> 00:10:05,293
highlight with New Earth

696
00:10:05,293 --> 00:10:06,795
recovery, with

697
00:10:06,795 --> 00:10:07,950
rise

698
00:10:07,950 --> 00:10:07,729
recovery,

699
00:10:07,729 --> 00:10:09,798
um, and it's just this

700
00:10:09,798 --> 00:10:10,650
. Great

701
00:10:10,650 --> 00:10:11,865
way

702
00:10:11,865 --> 00:10:12,400
of

703
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:13,134
bringing things together

704
00:10:13,134 --> 00:10:13,334
and we're able to share ideas

705
00:10:13,334 --> 00:10:13,802
,

706
00:10:13,802 --> 00:10:15,802
we're able to

707
00:10:16,204 --> 00:10:16,571
tandem. So on top

708
00:10:16,571 --> 00:10:17,973
of that

709
00:10:17,973 --> 00:10:18,540
, in

710
00:10:18,540 --> 00:10:19,240
2025, uh, through a

711
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:20,208
lot of those partnerships

712
00:10:20,208 --> 00:10:20,875
, we

713
00:10:20,875 --> 00:10:21,176
were able to get

714
00:10:21,176 --> 00:10:22,310
over

715
00:10:22,310 --> 00:10:22,944
10,000

716
00:10:22,944 --> 00:10:23,245
meals and visits for the

717
00:10:23,245 --> 00:10:23,545
first

718
00:10:23,545 --> 00:10:24,713
time

719
00:10:24,713 --> 00:10:24,945
, um, we

720
00:10:24,945 --> 00:10:25,180
are

721
00:10:25,180 --> 00:10:25,647
now

722
00:10:25,647 --> 00:10:27,480
up

723
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:27,582
to

724
00:10:27,582 --> 00:10:27,816
roughly 12 to

725
00:10:27,816 --> 00:10:28,149
13

726
00:10:28,149 --> 00:10:29,818
recovery

727
00:10:29,818 --> 00:10:30,252
circles support groups at any

728
00:10:30,252 --> 00:10:31,486
given time

729
00:10:31,486 --> 00:10:32,200
. We

730
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:32,420
have over 600

731
00:10:32,420 --> 00:10:34,890
people do

732
00:10:34,890 --> 00:10:34,789
those circles. So

733
00:10:34,789 --> 00:10:35,230
it's really growing and moving

734
00:10:35,230 --> 00:10:36,391
at

735
00:10:36,391 --> 00:10:36,725
the cafe. We

736
00:10:36,725 --> 00:10:37,359
are just

737
00:10:37,359 --> 00:10:37,592
trying

738
00:10:37,592 --> 00:10:38,627
to

739
00:10:38,627 --> 00:10:38,927
continue to be a space for

740
00:10:38,927 --> 00:10:39,394
safe

741
00:10:39,394 --> 00:10:40,562
. Sober

742
00:10:40,562 --> 00:10:40,896
Friday

743
00:10:40,896 --> 00:10:41,363
nights and

744
00:10:41,363 --> 00:10:43,310
continuing to

745
00:10:43,310 --> 00:10:43,864
just grow, our

746
00:10:43,864 --> 00:10:45,500
hope is again to get to that 7

747
00:10:45,500 --> 00:10:46,100
days a week, have that safe and

748
00:10:46,100 --> 00:10:47,936
sober community

749
00:10:47,936 --> 00:10:49,338
for people, um

750
00:10:49,338 --> 00:10:50,720
.

751
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:50,505
And then I think I wanted to

752
00:10:50,505 --> 00:10:52,400
close just

753
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:52,641
with a thing that we

754
00:10:52,641 --> 00:10:54,343
are looking at at the

755
00:10:54,343 --> 00:10:54,676
cafe

756
00:10:54,676 --> 00:10:55,770
is

757
00:10:55,770 --> 00:10:56,345
very much

758
00:10:56,345 --> 00:10:57,450
recovery from

759
00:10:57,450 --> 00:10:57,479
substance use is still front of

760
00:10:57,479 --> 00:10:58,714
mind for all

761
00:10:58,714 --> 00:10:58,881
of us, but

762
00:10:58,881 --> 00:10:59,515
looking

763
00:10:59,515 --> 00:11:00,916
at how are people

764
00:11:00,916 --> 00:11:01,617
recovering

765
00:11:01,617 --> 00:11:03,285
from mental health? How are

766
00:11:03,285 --> 00:11:03,852
people

767
00:11:03,852 --> 00:11:05,187
handling what the

768
00:11:05,187 --> 00:11:05,787
former

769
00:11:05,787 --> 00:11:06,188
Surgeon General Vivek Murthy

770
00:11:06,188 --> 00:11:07,789
called the

771
00:11:07,789 --> 00:11:08,457
loneliness epidemic.

772
00:11:08,457 --> 00:11:09,558
I think the researchers

773
00:11:09,558 --> 00:11:10,192
is

774
00:11:10,192 --> 00:11:10,526
clear and continues to

775
00:11:10,526 --> 00:11:10,893
be very

776
00:11:10,893 --> 00:11:12,394
clear

777
00:11:12,394 --> 00:11:12,761
that those

778
00:11:12,761 --> 00:11:13,395
that

779
00:11:13,395 --> 00:11:14,363
disconnection that we

780
00:11:14,363 --> 00:11:15,630
have in

781
00:11:15,630 --> 00:11:15,364
our community is really one of

782
00:11:15,364 --> 00:11:16,665
the

783
00:11:16,665 --> 00:11:16,966
driving

784
00:11:16,966 --> 00:11:17,233
forces

785
00:11:17,233 --> 00:11:17,833
behind

786
00:11:17,833 --> 00:11:18,167
people picking up substances

787
00:11:18,167 --> 00:11:19,768
behind

788
00:11:19,768 --> 00:11:20,936
. Kind people suffering

789
00:11:20,936 --> 00:11:21,637
from

790
00:11:21,637 --> 00:11:22,400
mental health. So I just

791
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:23,372
encourage

792
00:11:23,372 --> 00:11:23,739
the county

793
00:11:23,739 --> 00:11:24,540
, um, and

794
00:11:24,540 --> 00:11:26,241
everybody here to continue to

795
00:11:26,241 --> 00:11:26,809
look at how are we addressing

796
00:11:26,809 --> 00:11:27,810
that loneliness

797
00:11:27,810 --> 00:11:28,143
and

798
00:11:28,143 --> 00:11:28,844
getting

799
00:11:28,844 --> 00:11:29,879
people off of their phones

800
00:11:29,879 --> 00:11:30,346
, off

801
00:11:30,346 --> 00:11:31,180
of their couches

802
00:11:31,180 --> 00:11:32,481
, and into

803
00:11:32,481 --> 00:11:33,282
community

804
00:11:33,282 --> 00:11:35,151
, into something that

805
00:11:35,151 --> 00:11:35,484
is bigger than them, a third

806
00:11:35,484 --> 00:11:36,752
space

807
00:11:36,752 --> 00:11:37,453
, so thank you,

808
00:11:37,453 --> 00:11:37,786
commissioners, and I'm passing

809
00:11:37,786 --> 00:11:39,322

811
00:11:41,190 --> 00:11:41,523

824
00:12:00,243 --> 00:12:01,878
more

825
00:12:01,878 --> 00:12:02,345
importantly, one of my

826
00:12:02,345 --> 00:12:03,780
neighbors in

827
00:12:03,780 --> 00:12:04,800
Ward 3

828
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:04,680
, in

829
00:12:04,680 --> 00:12:06,583
Cedar

830
00:12:06,583 --> 00:12:06,741
Wooley. I wanna thank you

831
00:12:06,741 --> 00:12:07,160

832
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:09,160
doing

833
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:10,386
this proclamation

834
00:12:10,386 --> 00:12:10,887
, um,

835
00:12:10,887 --> 00:12:11,186
this month for

836
00:12:11,186 --> 00:12:11,554
recovery month

837
00:12:11,554 --> 00:12:13,189
and for

838
00:12:13,189 --> 00:12:13,857
inviting us to share

839
00:12:13,857 --> 00:12:15,625
what's happening in our

840
00:12:15,625 --> 00:12:17,930
community in Cedra Wooley

841
00:12:17,930 --> 00:12:17,861
, uh,

842
00:12:17,861 --> 00:12:18,194
to support this nationwide

843
00:12:18,194 --> 00:12:19,863
effort

844
00:12:19,863 --> 00:12:20,663
. Earlier this year, Tina

845
00:12:20,663 --> 00:12:22,665
and I attended the North Star

846
00:12:22,665 --> 00:12:23,199
.

847
00:12:23,199 --> 00:12:24,330
Our symposium where

848
00:12:24,330 --> 00:12:24,266
we got

849
00:12:24,266 --> 00:12:24,666
to

850
00:12:24,666 --> 00:12:25,340
talking

851
00:12:25,340 --> 00:12:26,369
about

852
00:12:26,369 --> 00:12:27,370
organizing a

853
00:12:27,370 --> 00:12:28,471
recovery walk in Cedar

854
00:12:28,471 --> 00:12:28,633
Wooley

855
00:12:28,633 --> 00:12:29,172
.

856
00:12:29,172 --> 00:12:30,807
We had just seen an

857
00:12:30,807 --> 00:12:31,507
amazing

858
00:12:31,507 --> 00:12:31,841
presentation about a similar

859
00:12:31,841 --> 00:12:33,108
event

860
00:12:33,108 --> 00:12:33,677
, much

861
00:12:33,677 --> 00:12:34,770
larger, thousands

862
00:12:34,770 --> 00:12:35,845
of people

863
00:12:35,845 --> 00:12:36,179
in Philadelphia, and

864
00:12:36,179 --> 00:12:37,480
I was

865
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:38,480
just

866
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:38,582
so excited to bring

867
00:12:38,582 --> 00:12:40,383
that idea home

868
00:12:40,383 --> 00:12:40,684
. I

869
00:12:40,684 --> 00:12:40,951
mentioned it

870
00:12:40,951 --> 00:12:42,185
to

871
00:12:42,185 --> 00:12:42,452
Tina

872
00:12:42,452 --> 00:12:42,886
, and

873
00:12:42,886 --> 00:12:43,220
If

874
00:12:43,220 --> 00:12:44,621
you know

875
00:12:44,621 --> 00:12:44,988
anything

876
00:12:44,988 --> 00:12:46,988
about Tina

877
00:12:46,991 --> 00:12:47,457
. The next

878
00:12:47,457 --> 00:12:48,759
thing we had

879
00:12:48,759 --> 00:12:49,126
was

880
00:12:49,126 --> 00:12:49,290
a committee

881
00:12:49,290 --> 00:12:49,492
,

882
00:12:49,492 --> 00:12:49,793
an

883
00:12:49,793 --> 00:12:51,610
agenda

884
00:12:51,610 --> 00:12:51,728
, a

885
00:12:51,728 --> 00:12:52,229
marketing plan

886
00:12:52,229 --> 00:12:53,229
with the support

887
00:12:53,229 --> 00:12:53,463
of

888
00:12:53,463 --> 00:12:53,964
hospitals

889
00:12:53,964 --> 00:12:54,331
District 304, we

890
00:12:54,331 --> 00:12:55,399
were able

891
00:12:55,399 --> 00:12:55,899
to

892
00:12:55,899 --> 00:12:56,333
get some really

893
00:12:56,333 --> 00:12:58,267
cool t-shirts

894
00:12:58,267 --> 00:12:58,936
.

895
00:12:58,936 --> 00:13:00,103
And, uh, Tina reached out

896
00:13:00,103 --> 00:13:00,837
to a

897
00:13:00,837 --> 00:13:01,137
few people who are prominent in

898
00:13:01,137 --> 00:13:02,839
the

899
00:13:02,839 --> 00:13:03,730
recovery community to speak

900
00:13:03,730 --> 00:13:05,420
at

901
00:13:05,420 --> 00:13:05,709
the event. I'm just so

902
00:13:05,709 --> 00:13:06,810
grateful for all of

903
00:13:06,810 --> 00:13:06,986
the

904
00:13:06,986 --> 00:13:07,845
people

905
00:13:07,845 --> 00:13:10,313
who have donated their time

906
00:13:10,313 --> 00:13:11,281
and

907
00:13:11,281 --> 00:13:11,982
resources to this effort. It's

908
00:13:11,982 --> 00:13:12,349
been really amazing to get

909
00:13:12,349 --> 00:13:14,184
together

910
00:13:14,184 --> 00:13:14,685
with folks from within

911
00:13:14,685 --> 00:13:16,185
our community in

912
00:13:16,185 --> 00:13:16,553
Cedar Wooley

913
00:13:16,553 --> 00:13:17,221
to support

914
00:13:17,221 --> 00:13:18,388
and celebrate those

915
00:13:18,388 --> 00:13:19,156
who are

916
00:13:19,156 --> 00:13:20,591
in recovery

917
00:13:20,591 --> 00:13:20,757
. This

918
00:13:20,757 --> 00:13:21,291
event

919
00:13:21,291 --> 00:13:22,660
is really important

920
00:13:22,660 --> 00:13:23,327
to me

921
00:13:23,327 --> 00:13:23,960
because I feel like my

922
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:25,290
generation really got

923
00:13:25,290 --> 00:13:25,829
the short

924
00:13:25,829 --> 00:13:26,229
end of the stick with the whole

925
00:13:26,229 --> 00:13:28,229
opioid thing

926
00:13:28,232 --> 00:13:29,333
. So many people

927
00:13:29,333 --> 00:13:29,767
my

928
00:13:29,767 --> 00:13:30,466
age first

929
00:13:30,466 --> 00:13:32,369
encountered opioids

930
00:13:32,369 --> 00:13:32,803
after a sports injury as kids,

931
00:13:32,803 --> 00:13:33,971
they trusted

932
00:13:33,971 --> 00:13:34,471
their doctors,

933
00:13:34,471 --> 00:13:35,710
they trusted

934
00:13:35,710 --> 00:13:36,306
their parents

935
00:13:36,306 --> 00:13:37,107
. And

936
00:13:37,107 --> 00:13:38,508
then now they have to face a

937
00:13:38,508 --> 00:13:38,976
really hard

938
00:13:38,976 --> 00:13:39,376
road at no fault of

939
00:13:39,376 --> 00:13:41,278
their own

940
00:13:41,278 --> 00:13:41,512
. Growing up and even

941
00:13:41,512 --> 00:13:42,813
as

942
00:13:42,813 --> 00:13:43,113
an

943
00:13:43,113 --> 00:13:43,413
adult

944
00:13:43,413 --> 00:13:43,647
, these

945
00:13:43,647 --> 00:13:43,947
drugs were

946
00:13:43,947 --> 00:13:45,449
just

947
00:13:45,449 --> 00:13:45,750
too accessible

948
00:13:45,750 --> 00:13:46,830
. It created

949
00:13:46,830 --> 00:13:47,318
problems

950
00:13:47,318 --> 00:13:47,685
for

951
00:13:47,685 --> 00:13:48,586
individuals,

952
00:13:48,586 --> 00:13:50,387
families, and whole communities

953
00:13:50,387 --> 00:13:51,822
And it takes a

954
00:13:51,822 --> 00:13:52,560
whole

955
00:13:52,560 --> 00:13:52,656
community

956
00:13:52,656 --> 00:13:53,570
approach to address the harm

957
00:13:53,570 --> 00:13:54,458
caused by

958
00:13:54,458 --> 00:13:56,227
the opioid crisis

959
00:13:56,227 --> 00:13:57,270
.

960
00:13:57,270 --> 00:13:59,430
Addiction has taken so many in

961
00:13:59,430 --> 00:14:01,499
our community, but together as

962
00:14:01,499 --> 00:14:01,799
a society, we're turning

963
00:14:01,799 --> 00:14:03,501
things

964
00:14:03,501 --> 00:14:04,435
around. We sued the

965
00:14:04,435 --> 00:14:05,369
pharmaceutical companies

966
00:14:05,369 --> 00:14:06,103
, and

967
00:14:06,103 --> 00:14:07,372
then there was more money

968
00:14:07,372 --> 00:14:07,772
for

969
00:14:07,772 --> 00:14:08,500
facilities

970
00:14:08,500 --> 00:14:08,773
, treatment

971
00:14:08,773 --> 00:14:10,541
facilities like the sar Center

972
00:14:10,541 --> 00:14:11,508
in

973
00:14:11,508 --> 00:14:12,276
Cedar Wooley with North

974
00:14:12,276 --> 00:14:12,843
Star

975
00:14:12,843 --> 00:14:13,277
jurisdictions are coming

976
00:14:13,277 --> 00:14:14,679
together to

977
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:15,179
coordinate

978
00:14:15,179 --> 00:14:15,512
wraparound services and

979
00:14:15,512 --> 00:14:16,581
policies

980
00:14:16,581 --> 00:14:17,480
that

981
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:17,547
address these

982
00:14:17,547 --> 00:14:18,983
complex needs

983
00:14:18,983 --> 00:14:19,283
. We

984
00:14:19,283 --> 00:14:19,584
need this

985
00:14:19,584 --> 00:14:21,319
kind

986
00:14:21,319 --> 00:14:21,819
of

987
00:14:21,819 --> 00:14:22,320
community-based

988
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:23,554
solution to get

989
00:14:23,554 --> 00:14:24,422
at the heart of

990
00:14:24,422 --> 00:14:25,823
the problem. And that's

991
00:14:25,823 --> 00:14:26,524
starts

992
00:14:26,524 --> 00:14:27,991
with raising awareness

993
00:14:27,991 --> 00:14:28,560
around

994
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:28,993
recovery. That's why we're

995
00:14:28,993 --> 00:14:30,394
doing this

996
00:14:30,394 --> 00:14:30,962
recovery walk. I

997
00:14:30,962 --> 00:14:32,563
want to live in a

998
00:14:32,563 --> 00:14:32,730
town

999
00:14:32,730 --> 00:14:33,430
where

1000
00:14:33,430 --> 00:14:35,232
everyone is really proud to

1001
00:14:35,232 --> 00:14:35,667
celebrate recovery and their

1002
00:14:35,667 --> 00:14:36,868
families, in

1003
00:14:36,868 --> 00:14:37,502
their

1004
00:14:37,502 --> 00:14:37,735
neighborhoods, at work

1005
00:14:37,735 --> 00:14:38,200
, at

1006
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:39,504
home

1007
00:14:39,504 --> 00:14:39,870
Recovery is a

1008
00:14:39,870 --> 00:14:40,305
big

1009
00:14:40,305 --> 00:14:41,573
accomplishment

1010
00:14:41,573 --> 00:14:42,240
, not just for

1011
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:42,641
the individual, but for the

1012
00:14:42,641 --> 00:14:43,675
community

1013
00:14:43,675 --> 00:14:43,908
as

1014
00:14:43,908 --> 00:14:44,276
a

1015
00:14:44,276 --> 00:14:44,609
whole

1016
00:14:44,609 --> 00:14:44,976
. My hope

1017
00:14:44,976 --> 00:14:45,977
is that

1018
00:14:45,977 --> 00:14:46,611
in

1019
00:14:46,611 --> 00:14:47,120
20 years, we can

1020
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:48,146
read about

1021
00:14:48,146 --> 00:14:48,847
the

1022
00:14:48,847 --> 00:14:49,281
opioid crisis in

1023
00:14:49,281 --> 00:14:50,782
history

1024
00:14:50,782 --> 00:14:51,160
books and see it

1025
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:51,449
as an

1026
00:14:51,449 --> 00:14:52,851
event that

1027
00:14:52,851 --> 00:14:53,318

00:17:44,991 --> 00:17:46,593
Thank you

1229
00:17:46,593 --> 00:17:47,261
. Can you go over a

1230
00:17:47,261 --> 00:17:48,696
little bit more how that

1231
00:17:48,696 --> 00:17:49,363
The

1232
00:17:49,363 --> 00:17:50,864
court system works, not

1233
00:17:50,864 --> 00:17:51,431
everybody watching understands

1234
00:17:51,431 --> 00:17:53,501
how that works, so

1235
00:17:53,501 --> 00:17:54,134
just

1236
00:17:54,134 --> 00:17:54,635
preliminary community court in

1237
00:17:54,635 --> 00:17:55,369
Skagit County is

1238
00:17:55,369 --> 00:17:55,970
a diversion

1239
00:17:55,970 --> 00:17:57,170
court away from the

1240
00:17:57,170 --> 00:17:57,905
criminal

1241
00:17:57,905 --> 00:17:58,372
justice system. It's held in

1242
00:17:58,372 --> 00:17:59,807
the community

1243
00:17:59,807 --> 00:18:00,307
court building on

1244
00:18:00,307 --> 00:18:02,275
College Way

1245
00:18:02,275 --> 00:18:02,710
, uh, eligible

1246
00:18:02,710 --> 00:18:04,780
charges are

1247
00:18:04,780 --> 00:18:04,578
folks charged

1248
00:18:04,578 --> 00:18:05,120
with

1249
00:18:05,120 --> 00:18:06,681
shoplifting

1250
00:18:06,681 --> 00:18:06,870
, uh, trespass

1251
00:18:06,870 --> 00:18:07,314
,

1252
00:18:07,314 --> 00:18:08,482
disorderly conduct

1253
00:18:08,482 --> 00:18:09,183
,

1254
00:18:09,183 --> 00:18:09,683
misdemeanors, and drug

1255
00:18:09,683 --> 00:18:10,685
possession. So

1256
00:18:10,685 --> 00:18:11,152
it

1257
00:18:11,152 --> 00:18:11,752
is our drug

1258
00:18:11,752 --> 00:18:13,870
court at this time

1259
00:18:13,870 --> 00:18:13,353
since

1260
00:18:13,353 --> 00:18:14,121
drug

1261
00:18:14,121 --> 00:18:15,589
charges are misdemeanors at

1262
00:18:15,589 --> 00:18:15,923
this time

1263
00:18:15,923 --> 00:18:16,390
. And

1264
00:18:16,390 --> 00:18:17,758
so

1265
00:18:17,758 --> 00:18:18,359
we intervene

1266
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:18,659
at the first hearing. Caring

1267
00:18:18,659 --> 00:18:20,461
for

1268
00:18:20,461 --> 00:18:20,795
those individuals and

1269
00:18:20,795 --> 00:18:22,630
provide

1270
00:18:22,630 --> 00:18:22,463
services

1271
00:18:22,463 --> 00:18:22,830
, mental health

1272
00:18:22,830 --> 00:18:24,431
treatment

1273
00:18:24,431 --> 00:18:24,999
, uh, housing

1274
00:18:24,999 --> 00:18:26,768
. Uh

1275
00:18:26,768 --> 00:18:27,368
, and

1276
00:18:27,368 --> 00:18:28,770
substance treatment

1277
00:18:28,770 --> 00:18:29,403
and so if

1278
00:18:29,403 --> 00:18:29,737
people are successful in that

1279
00:18:29,737 --> 00:18:30,972
program

1280
00:18:30,972 --> 00:18:31,339
, we

1281
00:18:31,339 --> 00:18:31,606
monitor them and

1282
00:18:31,606 --> 00:18:32,240
hold

1283
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:33,341
them accountable

1284
00:18:33,341 --> 00:18:34,409
over the

1285
00:18:34,409 --> 00:18:35,777
course of lengthening times

1286
00:18:35,777 --> 00:18:36,411
like a

1287
00:18:36,411 --> 00:18:38,120
months

1288
00:18:38,120 --> 00:18:38,512
and then the goal

1289
00:18:38,512 --> 00:18:38,746
is to have no

1290
00:18:38,746 --> 00:18:40,140
new

1291
00:18:40,140 --> 00:18:40,281
charges and

1292
00:18:40,281 --> 00:18:41,149
to

1293
00:18:41,149 --> 00:18:43,284
be successfully be engaged

1294
00:18:43,284 --> 00:18:43,785
in treatment

1295
00:18:43,785 --> 00:18:44,819
and recovery and

1296
00:18:44,819 --> 00:18:45,520
be housed

1297
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:47,188
, so it

1298
00:18:47,188 --> 00:18:47,955
, not everybody

1299
00:18:47,955 --> 00:18:49,590
understands that monitoring

1300
00:18:49,590 --> 00:18:50,224
program and the things they

1301
00:18:50,224 --> 00:18:51,191
have to do because if

1302
00:18:51,191 --> 00:18:51,759
they

1303
00:18:51,759 --> 00:18:52,193
don't do it

1304
00:18:52,193 --> 00:18:53,594
, they're out

1305
00:18:53,594 --> 00:18:54,195
,

1306
00:18:54,195 --> 00:18:54,662
correct? Yes, correct. They

1307
00:18:54,662 --> 00:18:55,797
have to show

1308
00:18:55,797 --> 00:18:55,964

1310
00:18:56,630 --> 00:18:57,980

1311
00:18:57,980 --> 00:18:58,990

1312
00:18:58,990 --> 00:18:58,499
their

1313
00:18:58,499 --> 00:18:59,100
probation

1314
00:18:59,100 --> 00:19:00,434

1315
00:19:00,434 --> 00:19:00,607
basis

1316
00:19:00,607 --> 00:19:01,202
.

1317
00:19:01,202 --> 00:19:02,670
They have to attend

1318
00:19:02,670 --> 00:19:03,338
the

1319
00:19:03,338 --> 00:19:03,705
evaluation right away as soon

1320
00:19:03,705 --> 00:19:05,373
as they

1321
00:19:05,373 --> 00:19:05,974
enter the program, and

1322
00:19:05,974 --> 00:19:07,209
they have to attend

1323
00:19:07,209 --> 00:19:07,642
a resource

1324
00:19:07,642 --> 00:19:09,377
clinic. They

1325
00:19:09,377 --> 00:19:09,878
have to uh

1326
00:19:09,878 --> 00:19:10,278
Attend

1327
00:19:10,278 --> 00:19:11,879
all their

1328
00:19:11,879 --> 00:19:12,414
treatment classes,

1329
00:19:12,414 --> 00:19:12,781
stay clean off drugs and

1330
00:19:12,781 --> 00:19:14,216

1331
00:19:14,216 --> 00:19:14,516
and stay off

1332
00:19:14,516 --> 00:19:14,816
of

1333
00:19:14,816 --> 00:19:16,584
charges

1334
00:19:16,584 --> 00:19:16,952
not commit any new charges, so

1335
00:19:16,952 --> 00:19:18,553
they're

1336
00:19:18,553 --> 00:19:19,200
monitored by

1337
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:19,487
probation

1338
00:19:19,487 --> 00:19:20,689
officers, but

1339
00:19:20,689 --> 00:19:21,323
they're also

1340
00:19:21,323 --> 00:19:21,690
tested too sometimes, correct,

1341
00:19:21,690 --> 00:19:23,325
they are

1342
00:19:23,325 --> 00:19:24,960
, yes. So it's not

1343
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:25,527
just

1344
00:19:25,527 --> 00:19:25,894

1345
00:19:25,894 --> 00:19:26,228

1346
00:19:26,228 --> 00:19:27,829
You've

1347
00:19:27,829 --> 00:19:28,163
got to do a lot of it

1348
00:19:28,163 --> 00:19:28,697
.

1349
00:19:28,697 --> 00:19:29,698
It's actually far

1350
00:19:29,698 --> 00:19:30,365
more intense

1351
00:19:30,365 --> 00:19:30,666
than the regular system which

1352
00:19:30,666 --> 00:19:31,800
has

1353
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:32,233
no

1354
00:19:32,233 --> 00:19:32,734
supervision or

1355
00:19:32,734 --> 00:19:34,136
accountability

1356
00:19:34,136 --> 00:19:34,303
, correct

1357
00:19:34,303 --> 00:19:35,236
? Thank

1358
00:19:35,236 --> 00:19:37,138
you very much for bringing that

1359
00:19:37,138 --> 00:19:37,706
up

1360
00:19:37,706 --> 00:19:38,740
. Pardon

1361
00:19:38,740 --> 00:19:40,740
or support

1362
00:19:41,610 --> 00:19:41,910
. Anybody

1363
00:19:41,910 --> 00:19:43,910
else

1364
00:19:45,948 --> 00:19:46,415
? Commissioner Browning,

1365
00:19:46,415 --> 00:19:48,183
any comments

1366
00:19:48,183 --> 00:19:48,450
? A lot of you

1367
00:19:48,450 --> 00:19:50,252
know

1368
00:19:50,252 --> 00:19:50,486
I've been involved in a lot

1369
00:19:50,486 --> 00:19:50,919
of

1370
00:19:50,919 --> 00:19:52,121
the recovery

1371
00:19:52,121 --> 00:19:52,421
stuff

1372
00:19:52,421 --> 00:19:52,687
since

1373
00:19:52,687 --> 00:19:53,122
the

1374
00:19:53,122 --> 00:19:54,923
mid-eighties

1375
00:19:54,923 --> 00:19:55,324
. And in those days

1376
00:19:55,324 --> 00:19:56,959
it

1377
00:19:56,959 --> 00:19:57,426
was inefficient, inefficient

1378
00:19:57,426 --> 00:19:57,792
We didn't

1379
00:19:57,792 --> 00:19:58,961
have what

1380
00:19:58,961 --> 00:19:59,728
Alan has

1381
00:19:59,728 --> 00:20:01,230
brought to our community, the

1382
00:20:01,230 --> 00:20:01,996
long

1383
00:20:01,996 --> 00:20:03,298
term recovery that we

1384
00:20:03,298 --> 00:20:03,766
get

1385
00:20:03,766 --> 00:20:04,660
people clean

1386
00:20:04,660 --> 00:20:04,266
, sober

1387
00:20:04,266 --> 00:20:04,933
to some

1388
00:20:04,933 --> 00:20:05,634
degree. They go back to

1389
00:20:05,634 --> 00:20:06,302
the

1390
00:20:06,302 --> 00:20:07,200
neighborhoods, go back to their

1391
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:07,770
friends, and they're back

1392
00:20:07,770 --> 00:20:08,700
in

1393
00:20:08,700 --> 00:20:08,971
the

1394
00:20:08,971 --> 00:20:10,272
streets immediately

1395
00:20:10,272 --> 00:20:10,906
. And so

1396
00:20:10,906 --> 00:20:11,373
what you've, Alan, brought to

1397
00:20:11,373 --> 00:20:12,641
this community

1398
00:20:12,641 --> 00:20:13,420
is immeasurable.

1399
00:20:13,420 --> 00:20:13,309
It has so

1400
00:20:13,309 --> 00:20:14,577
much

1401
00:20:14,577 --> 00:20:14,944
value

1402
00:20:14,944 --> 00:20:15,577
, and Sean,

1403
00:20:15,577 --> 00:20:16,110
what you're doing, just giving

1404
00:20:16,110 --> 00:20:17,112
a community

1405
00:20:17,112 --> 00:20:17,847
, there's so much

1406
00:20:17,847 --> 00:20:19,649
work right now on kind of

1407
00:20:19,649 --> 00:20:20,315
happiness and being able to

1408
00:20:20,315 --> 00:20:20,616
function in life and it has so

1409
00:20:20,616 --> 00:20:21,950
much

1410
00:20:21,950 --> 00:20:22,550
to do with friends and

1411
00:20:22,550 --> 00:20:22,951
people you can hang out with

1412
00:20:22,951 --> 00:20:24,951
and, and

1413
00:20:25,922 --> 00:20:26,289
. Get relationships

1414
00:20:26,289 --> 00:20:26,856
with and

1415
00:20:26,856 --> 00:20:28,624
so what you two are

1416
00:20:28,624 --> 00:20:29,580
doing is, is what brings us

1417
00:20:29,580 --> 00:20:30,593
from just a

1418
00:20:30,593 --> 00:20:31,293
recovery program

1419
00:20:31,293 --> 00:20:32,929
that a lot of people can

1420
00:20:32,929 --> 00:20:33,362
go

1421
00:20:33,362 --> 00:20:33,729
through and

1422
00:20:33,729 --> 00:20:34,630
have a couple of

1423
00:20:34,630 --> 00:20:35,197
months

1424
00:20:35,197 --> 00:20:35,832
of sobriety and then

1425
00:20:35,832 --> 00:20:36,131
something will trigger them.

1426
00:20:36,131 --> 00:20:37,700
Yours

1427
00:20:37,700 --> 00:20:38,134
is what keeps that from

1428
00:20:38,134 --> 00:20:39,569
happening

1429
00:20:39,569 --> 00:20:40,136
and really it's so,

1430
00:20:40,136 --> 00:20:40,635
so important and I'm really

1431
00:20:40,635 --> 00:20:41,737
proud of this

1432
00:20:41,737 --> 00:20:42,138
community for

1433
00:20:42,138 --> 00:20:42,572
having. We

1434
00:20:42,572 --> 00:20:44,373
need more. We

1435
00:20:44,373 --> 00:20:45,740
certainly need more because we

1436
00:20:45,740 --> 00:20:45,608
still have people going back to

1437
00:20:45,608 --> 00:20:46,274
their neighborhoods

1438
00:20:46,274 --> 00:20:46,451
and

1439
00:20:46,451 --> 00:20:47,143
their

1440
00:20:47,143 --> 00:20:49,120
friends and ending up where

1441
00:20:49,120 --> 00:20:49,445
they started. We have to get

1442
00:20:49,445 --> 00:20:50,913
better about

1443
00:20:50,913 --> 00:20:51,750
the recovery, so

1444
00:20:51,750 --> 00:20:51,748
I

1445
00:20:51,748 --> 00:20:53,616
really appreciate the work

1446
00:20:53,616 --> 00:20:53,916
you're doing. Noran Tina. Thank

00:20:53,916 --> 00:20:55,151

1448
00:20:55,151 --> 00:20:55,618
. That's

1449
00:20:55,618 --> 00:20:57,153
uh getting to

1450
00:20:57,153 --> 00:20:57,753
some

1451
00:20:57,753 --> 00:20:58,521
visibility, that's, that's all

1452
00:20:58,521 --> 00:21:00,423
get out and walk and, and get

1453
00:21:00,423 --> 00:21:01,900
people recognizing that it is

1454
00:21:01,900 --> 00:21:02,192
neighbors and friends

1455
00:21:02,192 --> 00:21:02,859
. It's not

1456
00:21:02,859 --> 00:21:03,393
somebody that you don't know

1457
00:21:03,393 --> 00:21:04,727
and somebody who

1458
00:21:04,727 --> 00:21:05,428
you're not

1459
00:21:05,428 --> 00:21:06,262
necessarily proud to have

1460
00:21:06,262 --> 00:21:06,896

1461
00:21:06,896 --> 00:21:07,530
your community, but people who

1462
00:21:07,530 --> 00:21:08,564
you care about that are

1463
00:21:08,564 --> 00:21:09,299
in

1464
00:21:09,299 --> 00:21:09,699
those on those walks that are

1465
00:21:09,699 --> 00:21:11,134
some in

1466
00:21:11,134 --> 00:21:11,768
some version of

1467
00:21:11,768 --> 00:21:13,690
recovery. It's really

1468
00:21:13,690 --> 00:21:13,503
important

1469
00:21:13,503 --> 00:21:13,736
to make it

1470
00:21:13,736 --> 00:21:14,236
. To

1471
00:21:14,236 --> 00:21:15,972
make it real for

1472
00:21:15,972 --> 00:21:16,272

and I think we live

1490
00:21:33,523 --> 00:21:33,823
in a kind

1491
00:21:33,823 --> 00:21:34,424
of a

1492
00:21:34,424 --> 00:21:35,592
medium sized

1493
00:21:35,592 --> 00:21:36,259
county

1494
00:21:36,259 --> 00:21:36,826
community and so we still know

1495
00:21:36,826 --> 00:21:37,994
each other. We have

1496
00:21:37,994 --> 00:21:38,528

00:21:41,198 --> 00:21:42,599
forward and

1501
00:21:42,599 --> 00:21:43,166

1505
00:21:45,434 --> 00:21:45,835
give them the opportunity for

1506
00:21:45,835 --> 00:21:46,903

these community issues

1511
00:21:49,807 --> 00:21:50,107
to go

1512
00:21:50,107 --> 00:21:51,508
forward

1513
00:21:51,508 --> 00:21:51,908

brought up some of the

1519
00:21:55,879 --> 00:21:56,547
issues

1520
00:21:56,547 --> 00:21:57,147
that not every part of the

1521
00:21:57,147 --> 00:21:57,514
country is dealing with the

1522
00:21:57,514 --> 00:21:59,150
same way

1523
00:21:59,150 --> 00:21:59,383
. As we are and that

1524
00:21:59,383 --> 00:22:00,451

our

1527
00:22:01,118 --> 00:22:01,552
smallest and how

1528
00:22:01,552 --> 00:22:02,786

1530
00:22:03,153 --> 00:22:03,654

, you're talking

1533
00:22:05,556 --> 00:22:06,900
about the recovery cafe. We

1534
00:22:06,900 --> 00:22:07,357
were able to go

1535
00:22:07,357 --> 00:22:08,250
down to Olympia

1536
00:22:08,250 --> 00:22:09,526

1537
00:22:09,526 --> 00:22:09,684

1542
00:22:12,563 --> 00:22:12,963

1587
00:22:47,664 --> 00:22:48,366
the

1588
00:22:48,366 --> 00:22:48,599
community court, Jennifer

1589
00:22:48,599 --> 00:22:49,133
, uh,

1590
00:22:49,133 --> 00:22:50,401
you and everybody

1591
00:22:50,401 --> 00:22:51,169
else in your

1592
00:22:51,169 --> 00:22:52,470
staff are doing a great job and

1593
00:22:52,470 --> 00:22:52,737
that's what people

1594
00:22:52,737 --> 00:22:53,470
don't

1595
00:22:53,470 --> 00:22:54,505
realize that it's not

1596
00:22:54,505 --> 00:22:55,139
just

1597
00:22:55,139 --> 00:22:55,673
giving people the free pass.

1598
00:22:55,673 --> 00:22:56,974
There are things

1599
00:22:56,974 --> 00:22:57,608
they have to

1600
00:22:57,608 --> 00:22:59,760
do along the way to be

1601
00:22:59,760 --> 00:22:59,744
.

1602
00:22:59,744 --> 00:23:00,277
Successful, and if they aren't

1603
00:23:00,277 --> 00:23:01,646
able to do that

1604
00:23:01,646 --> 00:23:02,313
, then they get

1605
00:23:02,313 --> 00:23:03,548
those charges and they

1606
00:23:03,548 --> 00:23:04,616
go to

1607
00:23:04,616 --> 00:23:06,117
the regular justice system. So

1608
00:23:06,117 --> 00:23:06,283
that's what people

1609
00:23:06,283 --> 00:23:06,851
don't

1610
00:23:06,851 --> 00:23:08,520
realize all the time

1611
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:08,753
. We're

1612
00:23:08,753 --> 00:23:09,200
doing this work, but it's just

1613
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:10,855

00:23:10,855 --> 00:23:11,456

move

1619
00:23:13,658 --> 00:23:15,930

us

1874
00:29:21,864 --> 00:29:22,331
more time

today's proclamation, I want

1881
00:29:29,138 --> 00:29:29,605
emphasize that

1882
00:29:29,605 --> 00:29:31,700
preparedness is

1883
00:29:31,700 --> 00:29:31,474
a system. It

1884
00:29:31,474 --> 00:29:31,708
takes all of

1885
00:29:31,708 --> 00:29:33,708
us

1886
00:29:33,743 --> 00:29:33,943
from first responders to

00:29:36,112 --> 00:29:36,412
governments, our

00:29:36,412 --> 00:29:37,513
dike

1892
00:29:37,513 --> 00:29:38,247

00:29:38,748 --> 00:29:40,282
most importantly

00:29:40,282 --> 00:29:42,282
, our community

1896
00:29:42,585 --> 00:29:43,190
For residents preparedness

1897
00:29:43,190 --> 00:29:44,319
starts with

1898
00:29:44,319 --> 00:29:44,920
the

1899
00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:45,221
understanding

1900
00:29:45,221 --> 00:29:46,756
and

1901
00:29:46,756 --> 00:29:47,290
with understanding the

1902
00:29:47,290 --> 00:29:47,690
nuances of where

1903
00:29:47,690 --> 00:29:49,250
you live and

1904
00:29:49,250 --> 00:29:49,592
the risks

1905
00:29:49,592 --> 00:29:50,927
around you

1906
00:29:50,927 --> 00:29:51,494
. Every

1907
00:29:51,494 --> 00:29:51,761
time it floods

1908
00:29:51,761 --> 00:29:53,229
, the

1909
00:29:53,229 --> 00:29:54,630
river

1910
00:29:54,630 --> 00:29:55,632
changes. If it hasn't flooded

1911
00:29:55,632 --> 00:29:55,998
at

1912
00:29:55,998 --> 00:29:56,466
your home

1913
00:29:56,466 --> 00:29:56,766
or property before

1914
00:29:56,766 --> 00:29:58,335
that

1915
00:29:58,335 --> 00:29:59,350
doesn't mean that it won't

1916
00:29:59,350 --> 00:30:00,937
flood there in the future

1917
00:30:00,937 --> 00:30:02,171
. Um

1918
00:30:02,171 --> 00:30:02,572
,

1919
00:30:02,572 --> 00:30:02,805
and while

1920
00:30:02,805 --> 00:30:03,272
we

1921
00:30:03,272 --> 00:30:04,974
understandably

1922
00:30:04,974 --> 00:30:05,241
focus a great deal on

1923
00:30:05,241 --> 00:30:05,742
the

1924
00:30:05,742 --> 00:30:07,611
Skagit River

1925
00:30:07,611 --> 00:30:07,978
, we also

1926
00:30:07,978 --> 00:30:08,444
need to

1927
00:30:08,444 --> 00:30:09,312
understand the

1928
00:30:09,312 --> 00:30:09,846
risks associated

1929
00:30:09,846 --> 00:30:11,414
with other rivers

1930
00:30:11,414 --> 00:30:12,150
and

1931
00:30:12,150 --> 00:30:12,515
tributaries throughout the

1932
00:30:12,515 --> 00:30:13,850
county, such as

1933
00:30:13,850 --> 00:30:14,550
the Sauk and

1934
00:30:14,550 --> 00:30:15,952
the Samish, and we

1935
00:30:15,952 --> 00:30:16,620
also need to

1936
00:30:16,620 --> 00:30:17,988
be aware of the

1937
00:30:17,988 --> 00:30:18,221
levels

1938
00:30:18,221 --> 00:30:18,688
of water

1939
00:30:18,688 --> 00:30:18,921
in each of

1940
00:30:18,921 --> 00:30:20,457
our

1941
00:30:20,457 --> 00:30:20,618
reservoirs

1942
00:30:20,618 --> 00:30:20,958
,

1943
00:30:20,958 --> 00:30:21,291
whether

1944
00:30:21,291 --> 00:30:22,893
it's

1945
00:30:22,893 --> 00:30:23,159
Judy Lake or

1946
00:30:23,159 --> 00:30:23,793
if

1947
00:30:23,793 --> 00:30:25,620
it's um Big lake

1948
00:30:25,620 --> 00:30:25,561
, you just need

1949
00:30:25,561 --> 00:30:26,996
to be aware of

1950
00:30:26,996 --> 00:30:27,230
the

1951
00:30:27,230 --> 00:30:27,631
waterways

1952
00:30:27,631 --> 00:30:29,299
around you

1953
00:30:29,299 --> 00:30:29,666
. We ask

1954
00:30:29,666 --> 00:30:30,400
every

1955
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:31,435
household to be prepared

1956
00:30:31,435 --> 00:30:32,269
to

1957
00:30:32,269 --> 00:30:32,536
take care of themselves for up

1958
00:30:32,536 --> 00:30:33,904
to

1959
00:30:33,904 --> 00:30:34,338
2

1960
00:30:34,338 --> 00:30:36,390
weeks following

1961
00:30:36,390 --> 00:30:36,607
a disaster

1962
00:30:36,607 --> 00:30:37,174
and to know

1963
00:30:37,174 --> 00:30:38,375
the risks

1964
00:30:38,375 --> 00:30:38,575
, know

1965
00:30:38,575 --> 00:30:38,841
how

1966
00:30:38,841 --> 00:30:39,576
to

1967
00:30:39,576 --> 00:30:40,643
receive warnings and

1968
00:30:40,643 --> 00:30:40,944
to

1969
00:30:40,944 --> 00:30:41,478
have

1970
00:30:41,478 --> 00:30:42,846
supplies and plans

1971
00:30:42,846 --> 00:30:43,380
that your

1972
00:30:43,380 --> 00:30:45,182
family will need

1973
00:30:45,182 --> 00:30:45,549
. We're

1974
00:30:45,549 --> 00:30:46,500
also

1975
00:30:46,500 --> 00:30:47,417
continuing to

1976
00:30:47,417 --> 00:30:47,951
improve the

1977
00:30:47,951 --> 00:30:48,385
information available to

1978
00:30:48,385 --> 00:30:49,953
communities

1979
00:30:49,953 --> 00:30:50,146
and residents

1980
00:30:50,146 --> 00:30:50,654
.

1981
00:30:50,654 --> 00:30:51,789
Skagit County is

1982
00:30:51,789 --> 00:30:52,255
working with

1983
00:30:52,255 --> 00:30:52,789
our dike and

1984
00:30:52,789 --> 00:30:54,158
drainage

1985
00:30:54,158 --> 00:30:54,625
district,

1986
00:30:54,625 --> 00:30:54,992
uh, to begin a

1987
00:30:54,992 --> 00:30:56,593
new effort

1988
00:30:56,593 --> 00:30:57,228
to

1989
00:30:57,228 --> 00:30:58,628
develop community

1990
00:30:58,628 --> 00:30:59,330
level

1991
00:30:59,330 --> 00:30:59,630
inundation mapping. So this

1992
00:30:59,630 --> 00:31:01,465
is

1993
00:31:01,465 --> 00:31:01,832
not the 100 year

1994
00:31:01,832 --> 00:31:03,233
flood plain

1995
00:31:03,233 --> 00:31:03,867
mapping, which

1996
00:31:03,867 --> 00:31:05,135
is regulatory

1997
00:31:05,135 --> 00:31:05,602
.

1998
00:31:05,602 --> 00:31:06,300
This goal in

1999
00:31:06,300 --> 00:31:06,162
this project

2000
00:31:06,162 --> 00:31:06,470
is

2001
00:31:06,470 --> 00:31:07,905
really to

2002
00:31:07,905 --> 00:31:08,606
better understand

2003
00:31:08,606 --> 00:31:09,707
what happens at the

2004
00:31:09,707 --> 00:31:10,574
community

2005
00:31:10,574 --> 00:31:12,209
level, at a the street level

2006
00:31:12,209 --> 00:31:12,810
,

2007
00:31:12,810 --> 00:31:13,411
uh, at Swan Road, at Francis

2008
00:31:13,411 --> 00:31:14,812
Road. What's happening

2009
00:31:14,812 --> 00:31:15,379
? At a

2010
00:31:15,379 --> 00:31:16,514
very micro level

2011
00:31:16,514 --> 00:31:16,881
in the

2012
00:31:16,881 --> 00:31:17,448
community

2013
00:31:17,448 --> 00:31:19,500
. Where

2014
00:31:19,500 --> 00:31:19,317
people live

2015
00:31:19,317 --> 00:31:19,850
and

2016
00:31:19,850 --> 00:31:21,152
really not just

2017
00:31:21,152 --> 00:31:21,552
focusing on

2018
00:31:21,552 --> 00:31:21,852
what the

2019
00:31:21,852 --> 00:31:22,253
river

2020
00:31:22,253 --> 00:31:24,210
gauge says

2021
00:31:24,210 --> 00:31:24,288
because we're used to looking

2022
00:31:24,288 --> 00:31:25,823
at

2023
00:31:25,823 --> 00:31:26,900
the concrete river

2024
00:31:26,900 --> 00:31:26,290
gauge

2025
00:31:26,290 --> 00:31:26,691
and

2026
00:31:26,691 --> 00:31:27,925
the Mount

2027

Vernon

2028
00:31:28,192 --> 00:31:28,559
Gauge, but

2029
00:31:28,559 --> 00:31:30,228
what we

2030
00:31:30,228 --> 00:31:30,494
know

2031
00:31:30,494 --> 00:31:31,161
historically

2032
00:31:31,161 --> 00:31:33,970
happens in neighborhoods

2033
00:31:33,970 --> 00:31:33,597
. Club

2034
00:31:33,597 --> 00:31:34,699
preparedness is

2035
00:31:34,699 --> 00:31:35,399
a

2036
00:31:35,399 --> 00:31:35,866
shared

2037
00:31:35,866 --> 00:31:36,868
responsibility

2038
00:31:36,868 --> 00:31:37,440
and

2039
00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:37,568
flood

2040
00:31:37,568 --> 00:31:37,727
Awareness Week is

2041
00:31:37,727 --> 00:31:38,168
an

2042
00:31:38,168 --> 00:31:39,203
opportunity for

2043
00:31:39,203 --> 00:31:39,470
us

2044
00:31:39,470 --> 00:31:39,704
all

2045
00:31:39,704 --> 00:31:40,304
to

2046
00:31:40,304 --> 00:31:41,572
better understand

2047
00:31:41,572 --> 00:31:42,373
our risks and

2048
00:31:42,373 --> 00:31:43,440
to be better prepared for

2049
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:43,875
what

2050
00:31:43,875 --> 00:31:44,275
comes next

2051
00:31:44,275 --> 00:31:45,810

good

2054
00:31:48,513 --> 00:31:48,813
. I've, I've got

2055
00:31:48,813 --> 00:31:49,113
the dem

2056
00:31:49,113 --> 00:31:50,448
team

2057
00:31:50,448 --> 00:31:50,882
here

2058
00:31:50,882 --> 00:31:51,115
today and

2059
00:31:51,115 --> 00:31:51,449
public

2060
00:31:51,449 --> 00:31:53,284
works

2061
00:31:53,284 --> 00:31:53,551
, um, I mentioned this is

2062
00:31:53,551 --> 00:31:54,886
a

2063
00:31:54,886 --> 00:31:55,119
system

2064
00:31:55,119 --> 00:31:55,386
we

2065
00:31:55,386 --> 00:31:55,686
must

2066
00:31:55,686 --> 00:31:55,987
work together

2067
00:31:55,987 --> 00:31:57,422
for

2068
00:31:57,422 --> 00:31:57,921
flood preparedness and

2069
00:31:57,921 --> 00:31:59,921
flood response

2070
00:31:59,924 --> 00:32:00,258
. On

2071
00:32:00,258 --> 00:32:02,258
, uh, you

2072
00:32:03,270 --> 00:32:03,394
know, last year, DECEMBER, we

2073
00:32:03,394 --> 00:32:05,196
had um

2074
00:32:05,196 --> 00:32:06,131
Very large event here

2075
00:32:06,131 --> 00:32:06,664
in

2076
00:32:06,664 --> 00:32:06,998
Sky County

2077
00:32:06,998 --> 00:32:08,500
, lessons

2078
00:32:08,500 --> 00:32:09,167
learned

2079
00:32:09,167 --> 00:32:10,502
from your department

2080
00:32:10,502 --> 00:32:10,869
, community

2081
00:32:10,869 --> 00:32:11,369
members

2082
00:32:11,369 --> 00:32:11,804
, any highlights you

2083
00:32:11,804 --> 00:32:12,971
want to hit

2084
00:32:12,971 --> 00:32:13,238
on that

2085
00:32:13,238 --> 00:32:13,638
? Yeah

2086
00:32:13,638 --> 00:32:14,105
, sure

2087
00:32:14,105 --> 00:32:15,974
um, that was

2088
00:32:15,974 --> 00:32:17,609
such a

2089
00:32:17,609 --> 00:32:18,242
interesting

2090
00:32:18,242 --> 00:32:19,578
event because it

2091
00:32:19,578 --> 00:32:20,111
, it

2092
00:32:20,111 --> 00:32:20,345
unfolded

2093
00:32:20,345 --> 00:32:20,679
in

2094
00:32:20,679 --> 00:32:21,913
phases

2095
00:32:21,913 --> 00:32:22,380
. So I

2096
00:32:22,380 --> 00:32:23,114
think one thing

2097
00:32:23,114 --> 00:32:24,516
the community

2098
00:32:24,516 --> 00:32:24,783
should be aware

2099
00:32:24,783 --> 00:32:25,160
of

2100
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:26,451
is

2101
00:32:26,451 --> 00:32:27,419
we're prone

2102
00:32:27,419 --> 00:32:28,720
to have

2103
00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:29,421
um

2104
00:32:29,421 --> 00:32:29,888
double atmospheric rivers in

2105
00:32:29,888 --> 00:32:31,220
Skagit County

2106
00:32:31,220 --> 00:32:31,456
where we

2107
00:32:31,456 --> 00:32:31,723
can have

2108
00:32:31,723 --> 00:32:33,492
a

2109
00:32:33,492 --> 00:32:34,226
big atmospheric river coming

2110
00:32:34,226 --> 00:32:35,560
in. That holds a lot of

2111
00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:36,294
water

2112
00:32:36,294 --> 00:32:37,596
and dumps it and then a

2113
00:32:37,596 --> 00:32:38,330
couple

2114
00:32:38,330 --> 00:32:38,763
days where there's nothing and

2115
00:32:38,763 --> 00:32:40,265
then another

2116
00:32:40,265 --> 00:32:40,665
one that comes in,

2117
00:32:40,665 --> 00:32:42,501
and they

2118
00:32:42,501 --> 00:32:42,801
MAY

2119
00:32:42,801 --> 00:32:43,340
hold

2120
00:32:43,340 --> 00:32:44,236
at

2121
00:32:44,236 --> 00:32:44,436
6

2122
00:32:44,436 --> 00:32:44,804
hours

2123
00:32:44,804 --> 00:32:45,137
with all

2124
00:32:45,137 --> 00:32:46,638
of that

2125
00:32:46,638 --> 00:32:47,339
extra

2126
00:32:47,339 --> 00:32:47,706
precipitation coming in or

2127
00:32:47,706 --> 00:32:49,141
pushing

2128
00:32:49,141 --> 00:32:49,575
on

2129
00:32:49,575 --> 00:32:51,109
that dike and

2130
00:32:51,109 --> 00:32:51,476
levee

2131
00:32:51,476 --> 00:32:52,770
system

2132
00:32:52,770 --> 00:32:53,712
. So just

2133
00:32:53,712 --> 00:32:53,946
because

2134
00:32:53,946 --> 00:32:54,645
one

2135
00:32:54,645 --> 00:32:55,647
atmospheric rivers

2136
00:32:55,647 --> 00:32:56,810
over doesn't

2137
00:32:56,810 --> 00:32:56,414
mean that all

2138
00:32:56,414 --> 00:32:57,783
of the

2139
00:32:57,783 --> 00:32:58,417
response

2140
00:32:58,417 --> 00:32:59,170
teams go away. We've got to

2141
00:32:59,170 --> 00:33:00,452
stay for the next one

2142
00:33:00,452 --> 00:33:00,610
. Uh

2143
00:33:00,610 --> 00:33:00,885
,

2144
00:33:00,885 --> 00:33:02,588
things

2145
00:33:02,588 --> 00:33:03,521
we learned, and I think

2146
00:33:03,521 --> 00:33:05,524
the community experiences this

2147
00:33:05,524 --> 00:33:05,858
every time we put out an alert

2148
00:33:05,858 --> 00:33:07,725
and

2149
00:33:07,725 --> 00:33:09,280
warning is that while

2150
00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:09,360
cell

2151
00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:09,795
phones

2152
00:33:09,795 --> 00:33:10,262
, text messages, that's

2153
00:33:10,262 --> 00:33:11,663
our best way

2154
00:33:11,663 --> 00:33:12,531
to get a hold of

2155
00:33:12,531 --> 00:33:14,600
people and people can register

2156
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:15,134
through

2157
00:33:15,134 --> 00:33:15,834
Skagget

2158
00:33:15,834 --> 00:33:16,168
Ready

2159
00:33:16,168 --> 00:33:16,620
to

2160
00:33:16,620 --> 00:33:17,360
get

2161
00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:18,403
additional types of information

2162
00:33:18,403 --> 00:33:18,737
from us

2163
00:33:18,737 --> 00:33:19,204
, those

2164
00:33:19,204 --> 00:33:21,600
cell phone

2165
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:21,240
towers bounce around

2166
00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:23,800
, so

2167
00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:23,641
sometimes a message goes

2168
00:33:23,641 --> 00:33:24,977
somewhere other than

2169
00:33:24,977 --> 00:33:25,344
we

2170
00:33:25,344 --> 00:33:25,811
intended

2171
00:33:25,811 --> 00:33:27,380
, um, and so

2172
00:33:27,380 --> 00:33:28,113
we can't

2173
00:33:28,113 --> 00:33:28,268
control for that, but if

2174
00:33:28,268 --> 00:33:28,614
you

2175
00:33:28,614 --> 00:33:29,815
sign up

2176
00:33:29,815 --> 00:33:30,616
for Skagit ready and

2177
00:33:30,616 --> 00:33:32,218
Opt into

2178
00:33:32,218 --> 00:33:32,551
our communication

2179
00:33:32,551 --> 00:33:33,786
system

2180
00:33:33,786 --> 00:33:34,486
, then

2181
00:33:34,486 --> 00:33:34,987
we can control, it

2182
00:33:34,987 --> 00:33:36,255
goes right to

2183
00:33:36,255 --> 00:33:36,956
you, right to

2184
00:33:36,956 --> 00:33:37,356
your address, right to the cell

2185
00:33:37,356 --> 00:33:38,958
phone that

2186
00:33:38,958 --> 00:33:39,492
was registered, and

2187
00:33:39,492 --> 00:33:40,893
it doesn't bounce

2188
00:33:40,893 --> 00:33:41,360
around. We

2189
00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:41,627
will still

2190
00:33:41,627 --> 00:33:42,862
use

2191
00:33:42,862 --> 00:33:43,195
the

2192
00:33:43,195 --> 00:33:44,300
emergency

2193
00:33:44,300 --> 00:33:45,310
alert warnings when we need to

2194
00:33:45,310 --> 00:33:46,320
,

2195
00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:47,767
and those do bounce around. And

2196
00:33:47,767 --> 00:33:48,134
the connection that is on the

2197
00:33:48,134 --> 00:33:48,534
website

2198
00:33:48,534 --> 00:33:49,969
. Correct

2199
00:33:49,969 --> 00:33:50,126
, and

2200
00:33:50,126 --> 00:33:50,503
Sked

2201
00:33:50,503 --> 00:33:52,710
County, um

2202
00:33:52,710 --> 00:33:52,504
. We

2203
00:33:52,504 --> 00:33:52,939
have our new

2204
00:33:52,939 --> 00:33:54,806
website

2205
00:33:54,806 --> 00:33:56,806
now

2206
00:33:57,760 --> 00:33:57,710
.

2207
00:33:57,710 --> 00:33:58,911
Gadgetcounty.Net/emergency

2208
00:33:58,911 --> 00:33:59,212
Management and you can find

2209
00:33:59,212 --> 00:33:59,879
this

2210
00:33:59,879 --> 00:34:01,347
gadget ready information

2211
00:34:01,347 --> 00:34:01,714
to sign up there

2212
00:34:01,714 --> 00:34:01,948
. And

2213
00:34:01,948 --> 00:34:03,820
the

2214
00:34:03,820 --> 00:34:03,650
other

2215
00:34:03,650 --> 00:34:04,150
interesting thing with the

2216
00:34:04,150 --> 00:34:05,618
Skagit River, we

2217
00:34:05,618 --> 00:34:05,918
have

2218
00:34:05,918 --> 00:34:06,152
dams

2219
00:34:06,152 --> 00:34:06,485
on

2220
00:34:06,485 --> 00:34:08,210
the

2221
00:34:08,210 --> 00:34:08,421
north section, but the Sauk

2222
00:34:08,421 --> 00:34:10,290
River is

2223
00:34:10,290 --> 00:34:12,290
not so roughly

2224
00:34:12,358 --> 00:34:12,521
. 60%

2225
00:34:12,521 --> 00:34:13,159
is

2226
00:34:13,159 --> 00:34:14,561
behind the dams, correct

2227
00:34:14,561 --> 00:34:14,894
, yep

2228
00:34:14,894 --> 00:34:15,328
.

2229
00:34:15,328 --> 00:34:16,996
So rain

2230
00:34:16,996 --> 00:34:17,397
could fall

2231
00:34:17,397 --> 00:34:17,764
, um, you

2232
00:34:17,764 --> 00:34:19,265
know, in

2233
00:34:19,265 --> 00:34:19,433
front of the dams

2234
00:34:19,433 --> 00:34:20,660
,

2235
00:34:20,660 --> 00:34:21,367
behind the dams, we can

2236
00:34:21,367 --> 00:34:21,601
, we

2237
00:34:21,601 --> 00:34:22,168
can

2238
00:34:22,168 --> 00:34:23,803
secure

2239
00:34:23,803 --> 00:34:24,203
water behind the dams,

2240
00:34:24,203 --> 00:34:25,972
but a lot

2241
00:34:25,972 --> 00:34:26,273
of waterfalls that

2242
00:34:26,273 --> 00:34:26,840
is

2243
00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:28,410
not controlled by

2244
00:34:28,410 --> 00:34:28,441
the dams

2245
00:34:28,441 --> 00:34:29,209
.

2246
00:34:29,209 --> 00:34:30,844
Yeah, and that was one of the

2247
00:34:30,844 --> 00:34:31,511
things that Seattle City liked

2248
00:34:31,511 --> 00:34:32,879
uh relicensing

2249
00:34:32,879 --> 00:34:33,280
uh we were able

2250
00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:35,280
to secure

2251
00:34:35,881 --> 00:34:37,851
. More capacity behind

2252
00:34:37,851 --> 00:34:39,386
the dams starting in

2253
00:34:39,386 --> 00:34:40,220
NOVEMBER

2254
00:34:40,220 --> 00:34:41,521
compared to before it

2255
00:34:41,521 --> 00:34:42,155
was

2256
00:34:42,155 --> 00:34:42,389
DECEMBER, but they had

2257
00:34:42,389 --> 00:34:42,889
been

2258
00:34:42,889 --> 00:34:43,824
traditionally

2259
00:34:43,824 --> 00:34:44,491
having that

2260
00:34:44,491 --> 00:34:44,724
available in NOVEMBER anyway,

2261
00:34:44,724 --> 00:34:46,526
so

2262
00:34:46,526 --> 00:34:48,610
, but we have it in

2263
00:34:48,610 --> 00:34:48,528
. Writing

2264
00:34:48,528 --> 00:34:48,828
now, so it's

2265
00:34:48,828 --> 00:34:49,290
really

2266
00:34:49,290 --> 00:34:49,329
important

2267
00:34:49,329 --> 00:34:51,980
and

2268
00:34:51,980 --> 00:34:51,598
additional capacity as well

2269
00:34:51,598 --> 00:34:52,765
We were

2270
00:34:52,765 --> 00:34:53,467
very

2271
00:34:53,467 --> 00:34:55,368
close to um

2272
00:34:55,368 --> 00:34:55,635
Uh

2273
00:34:55,635 --> 00:34:56,103
,

2274
00:34:56,103 --> 00:34:57,170
full capacity

2275
00:34:57,170 --> 00:34:57,603
in

2276
00:34:57,603 --> 00:34:58,710
the 2021

2277
00:34:58,710 --> 00:34:59,506
floods, so

2278
00:34:59,506 --> 00:34:59,773
it's

2279
00:34:59,773 --> 00:35:00,174
that

2280
00:35:00,174 --> 00:35:00,606
extra

2281
00:35:00,606 --> 00:35:02,750
capacity

2282
00:35:02,750 --> 00:35:02,243
literally saves lives

2283
00:35:02,243 --> 00:35:02,509
.

2284
00:35:02,509 --> 00:35:04,278
And

2285
00:35:04,278 --> 00:35:04,978
those atmospheric rivers,

2286
00:35:04,978 --> 00:35:05,379
they come, you know, out of the

2287
00:35:05,379 --> 00:35:06,580
Pacific

2288
00:35:06,580 --> 00:35:07,147
and coming up and if

2289
00:35:07,147 --> 00:35:08,549
they go, you know

2290
00:35:08,549 --> 00:35:09,516
, 30 miles or

2291
00:35:09,516 --> 00:35:10,617
100 miles south or north

2292
00:35:10,617 --> 00:35:11,840
, that

2293
00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:11,585
makes a big

2294
00:35:11,585 --> 00:35:13,585
difference on how

2295
00:35:13,721 --> 00:35:14,121
much capacity behind our dams

2296
00:35:14,121 --> 00:35:15,623
or just

2297
00:35:15,623 --> 00:35:16,122
the sock where there's

2298
00:35:16,122 --> 00:35:17,992
no dams at all

2299
00:35:17,992 --> 00:35:18,625
, and so it has a

2300
00:35:18,625 --> 00:35:20,260
huge effect on us

2301
00:35:20,260 --> 00:35:20,494
, and I

2302
00:35:20,494 --> 00:35:21,940
know

2303
00:35:21,940 --> 00:35:22,196
absolutely, absolutely

2304
00:35:22,196 --> 00:35:22,353
. I

2305
00:35:22,353 --> 00:35:22,930
think

2306
00:35:22,930 --> 00:35:24,198
that's another thing for

2307
00:35:24,198 --> 00:35:24,664
the

2308
00:35:24,664 --> 00:35:25,232
community

2309
00:35:25,232 --> 00:35:26,500
to

2310
00:35:26,500 --> 00:35:26,734
know

2311
00:35:26,734 --> 00:35:26,966
we

2312
00:35:26,966 --> 00:35:27,367
prepare

2313
00:35:27,367 --> 00:35:29,136
based on

2314
00:35:29,136 --> 00:35:29,470
the forecasts, and

2315
00:35:29,470 --> 00:35:29,836
the

2316
00:35:29,836 --> 00:35:30,938
forecasts

2317
00:35:30,938 --> 00:35:31,372
get

2318
00:35:31,372 --> 00:35:32,500
fine tuned and

2319
00:35:32,500 --> 00:35:33,340
fine tuned and fine tuned

2320
00:35:33,340 --> 00:35:34,700
. And

2321
00:35:34,700 --> 00:35:35,443
it's really a

2322
00:35:35,443 --> 00:35:35,676
matter

2323
00:35:35,676 --> 00:35:36,100
of

2324
00:35:36,100 --> 00:35:36,477
maybe

2325
00:35:36,477 --> 00:35:38,450
24 hours

2326
00:35:38,450 --> 00:35:38,913
where you've got it

2327
00:35:38,913 --> 00:35:40,348
kind of tuned in

2328
00:35:40,348 --> 00:35:40,548
the best

2329
00:35:40,548 --> 00:35:40,948
you

2330
00:35:40,948 --> 00:35:41,115
can, but

2331
00:35:41,115 --> 00:35:42,716
3

2332
00:35:42,716 --> 00:35:43,150
days out, it could

2333
00:35:43,150 --> 00:35:44,619
still be a

2334
00:35:44,619 --> 00:35:45,285
little wobbly and it

2335
00:35:45,285 --> 00:35:45,586
could move a little more north

2336
00:35:45,586 --> 00:35:47,540
or a

2337
00:35:47,540 --> 00:35:47,354
little more

2338
00:35:47,354 --> 00:35:47,687
south

2339
00:35:47,687 --> 00:35:49,357
. Our job

2340
00:35:49,357 --> 00:35:50,240
is to

2341
00:35:50,240 --> 00:35:51,492
be prepared

2342
00:35:51,492 --> 00:35:52,250
as soon as we

2343
00:35:52,250 --> 00:35:53,594
can for what we

2344
00:35:53,594 --> 00:35:53,994
see

2345
00:35:53,994 --> 00:35:54,662
coming and

2346
00:35:54,662 --> 00:35:55,897
if we wait until those

2347
00:35:55,897 --> 00:35:56,119
2

2348
00:35:56,119 --> 00:35:56,430
those

2349
00:35:56,430 --> 00:35:56,831
last 24

2350
00:35:56,831 --> 00:35:58,320
hours where

2351
00:35:58,320 --> 00:35:58,533
it's a

2352
00:35:58,533 --> 00:35:59,330
,

2353
00:35:59,330 --> 00:36:00,534
clearer forecast

2354
00:36:00,534 --> 00:36:01,302
, we might not

2355
00:36:01,302 --> 00:36:01,735
have the resources we need if

2356
00:36:01,735 --> 00:36:03,504
the if the

2357
00:36:03,504 --> 00:36:04,672
. System changes

2358
00:36:04,672 --> 00:36:05,340
, so

2359
00:36:05,340 --> 00:36:05,707
we try to get ahead

2360
00:36:05,707 --> 00:36:06,807
of things

2361
00:36:06,807 --> 00:36:07,241
.

2362
00:36:07,241 --> 00:36:07,474
Yeah, and

2363
00:36:07,474 --> 00:36:07,842
you

2364
00:36:07,842 --> 00:36:08,142
mentioned that to

2365
00:36:08,142 --> 00:36:09,610
go bag

2366
00:36:09,610 --> 00:36:10,278
and those kind of things

2367
00:36:10,278 --> 00:36:11,846
have people, you know

2368
00:36:11,846 --> 00:36:12,146
, it is

2369
00:36:12,146 --> 00:36:12,680
dry

2370
00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:13,882
right now

2371
00:36:13,882 --> 00:36:14,248
. Um

2372
00:36:14,248 --> 00:36:14,649
, it'd be

2373
00:36:14,649 --> 00:36:16,830
helpful if

2374
00:36:16,830 --> 00:36:16,751
people understood

2375
00:36:16,751 --> 00:36:17,840
other roads to get out of where

2376
00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:18,520
they are

2377
00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:18,678
, and so the

2378
00:36:18,678 --> 00:36:19,454
other

2379
00:36:19,454 --> 00:36:20,822
maybe side roads that they can

2380
00:36:20,822 --> 00:36:21,523
go on

2381
00:36:21,523 --> 00:36:22,890
instead of relying

2382
00:36:22,890 --> 00:36:23,224
on the

2383
00:36:23,224 --> 00:36:24,250
main

2384
00:36:24,250 --> 00:36:25,593
routes because sometimes

2385
00:36:25,593 --> 00:36:26,600
they get clogged or trees down

2386
00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:27,729
or bridges out

2387
00:36:27,729 --> 00:36:28,563
or something

2388
00:36:28,563 --> 00:36:30,398
where everybody else is on them

2389
00:36:30,398 --> 00:36:32,133
Yes, this is a

2390
00:36:32,133 --> 00:36:32,297
perfect time

2391
00:36:32,297 --> 00:36:32,734
um

2392
00:36:32,734 --> 00:36:34,102
with SEPTEMBER

2393
00:36:34,102 --> 00:36:34,569
being prepared

2394
00:36:34,569 --> 00:36:35,690
this month to

2395
00:36:35,690 --> 00:36:36,638
think

2396
00:36:36,638 --> 00:36:37,138
about where

2397
00:36:37,138 --> 00:36:38,540
your egress

2398
00:36:38,540 --> 00:36:39,400
and ingress roads,

2399
00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:39,608
the roads you

2400
00:36:39,608 --> 00:36:40,709
would travel

2401
00:36:40,709 --> 00:36:41,843
a

2402
00:36:41,843 --> 00:36:43,678
secondary road, what are the

2403
00:36:43,678 --> 00:36:43,945
special needs in your family?

2404
00:36:43,945 --> 00:36:45,480
Do

2405
00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:45,747
you have large

2406
00:36:45,747 --> 00:36:46,140
animals

2407
00:36:46,140 --> 00:36:46,447
,

2408
00:36:46,447 --> 00:36:47,949
small animals

2409
00:36:47,949 --> 00:36:48,683
, um, somebody

2410
00:36:48,683 --> 00:36:50,218
with

2411
00:36:50,218 --> 00:36:50,452
mobility

2412
00:36:50,452 --> 00:36:50,719
needs

2413
00:36:50,719 --> 00:36:51,153
medications

2414
00:36:51,153 --> 00:36:52,254
even an extra

2415
00:36:52,254 --> 00:36:52,554
pair

2416
00:36:52,554 --> 00:36:53,540
of glasses.

2417
00:36:53,540 --> 00:36:54,523
These are the

2418
00:36:54,523 --> 00:36:54,856
things to

2419
00:36:54,856 --> 00:36:55,490
think

2420
00:36:55,490 --> 00:36:56,591
about having around

2421
00:36:56,591 --> 00:36:56,892
, making

2422
00:36:56,892 --> 00:36:57,159
sure

2423
00:36:57,159 --> 00:36:57,626
that

2424
00:36:57,626 --> 00:36:59,127
you're

2425
00:36:59,127 --> 00:36:59,594
um gas tank is

2426
00:36:59,594 --> 00:37:01,195
at least

2427
00:37:01,195 --> 00:37:01,830
half

2428
00:37:01,830 --> 00:37:02,129
full, and I'd

2429
00:37:02,129 --> 00:37:03,432
like

2430
00:37:03,432 --> 00:37:03,899
to have a

2431
00:37:03,899 --> 00:37:04,132
go bag in

2432
00:37:04,132 --> 00:37:05,434
my

2433
00:37:05,434 --> 00:37:06,167
car

2434
00:37:06,167 --> 00:37:06,468
and I like to have a go

2435
00:37:06,468 --> 00:37:08,360
bag in

2436
00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:08,604
my house

2437
00:37:08,604 --> 00:37:09,838
because I'm in

2438
00:37:09,838 --> 00:37:10,472
many

2439
00:37:10,472 --> 00:37:11,600
places and as a lot of people

2440
00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:12,441
are, and if you

2441
00:37:12,441 --> 00:37:13,800
have something

2442
00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:13,275
in your car that

2443
00:37:13,275 --> 00:37:14,610
can

2444
00:37:14,610 --> 00:37:15,244
sustain

2445
00:37:15,244 --> 00:37:15,477
you if you can't get

2446
00:37:15,477 --> 00:37:17,120
back

2447
00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:17,746
home

2448
00:37:17,746 --> 00:37:19,460
or if you're at work when

2449
00:37:19,460 --> 00:37:19,782
an

2450
00:37:19,782 --> 00:37:20,470
incident happens, or if you've

2451
00:37:20,470 --> 00:37:21,649
got

2452
00:37:21,649 --> 00:37:22,384
something at home to be

2453
00:37:22,384 --> 00:37:23,552
able to quickly gather

2454
00:37:23,552 --> 00:37:24,386
your

2455
00:37:24,386 --> 00:37:25,821
family together. Having both

2456
00:37:25,821 --> 00:37:26,688
is

2457
00:37:26,688 --> 00:37:27,880
important. And you mentioned 2

2458
00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:28,457
weeks

2459
00:37:28,457 --> 00:37:29,240
supply to take care of

2460
00:37:29,240 --> 00:37:30,325
yourself because if

2461
00:37:30,325 --> 00:37:31,600
Something

2462
00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:31,359
major happens, there isn't

2463
00:37:31,359 --> 00:37:32,861
enough

2464
00:37:32,861 --> 00:37:33,529
government employees to

2465
00:37:33,529 --> 00:37:33,896
be able to get what you need.

2466
00:37:33,896 --> 00:37:35,300
You have

2467
00:37:35,300 --> 00:37:35,564
to take care of

2468
00:37:35,564 --> 00:37:37,650
yourself. Correct

2469
00:37:37,650 --> 00:37:37,399
, yes

2470
00:37:37,399 --> 00:37:38,330
. And

2471
00:37:38,330 --> 00:37:39,368
that's food, water

2472
00:37:39,368 --> 00:37:39,735
for

2473
00:37:39,735 --> 00:37:40,200
you and

2474
00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:40,603
your

2475
00:37:40,603 --> 00:37:42,104
animals you have and all

2476
00:37:42,104 --> 00:37:43,906
those things

2477
00:37:43,906 --> 00:37:44,406
we recommend

2478
00:37:44,406 --> 00:37:44,774
at

2479
00:37:44,774 --> 00:37:46,141
least 1

2480
00:37:46,141 --> 00:37:46,508
gallon a

2481
00:37:46,508 --> 00:37:46,942
day per person

2482
00:37:46,942 --> 00:37:47,309
is the

2483
00:37:47,309 --> 00:37:48,411
very minimum

2484
00:37:48,411 --> 00:37:48,744
3

2485
00:37:48,744 --> 00:37:49,780
gallons

2486
00:37:49,780 --> 00:37:49,512
is the

2487
00:37:49,512 --> 00:37:50,813
is a

2488
00:37:50,813 --> 00:37:51,347
a

2489
00:37:51,347 --> 00:37:51,613
nice

2490
00:37:51,613 --> 00:37:52,682
buffer

2491
00:37:52,682 --> 00:37:53,516
and

2492
00:37:53,516 --> 00:37:54,160
um you know you need water to

2493
00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:55,151
drink, water

2494
00:37:55,151 --> 00:37:55,817
for

2495
00:37:55,817 --> 00:37:55,984
your animals

2496
00:37:55,984 --> 00:37:56,252
,

2497
00:37:56,252 --> 00:37:57,987
and

2498
00:37:57,987 --> 00:37:58,286
um it's not

2499
00:37:58,286 --> 00:37:58,887
people often

2500
00:37:58,887 --> 00:38:00,220
say, well, I'll just

2501
00:38:00,220 --> 00:38:00,556
. Boil

2502
00:38:00,556 --> 00:38:01,824
water. It's not

2503
00:38:01,824 --> 00:38:02,491
always that

2504
00:38:02,491 --> 00:38:03,590
easy to boil water, especially

2505
00:38:03,590 --> 00:38:04,160
if you don't have

2506
00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:04,393
access

2507
00:38:04,393 --> 00:38:05,610
to

2508
00:38:05,610 --> 00:38:06,495
heat, so if

2509
00:38:06,495 --> 00:38:06,762
there

2510
00:38:06,762 --> 00:38:06,996
are electric

2511
00:38:06,996 --> 00:38:07,330
is

2512
00:38:07,330 --> 00:38:08,997
down

2513
00:38:08,997 --> 00:38:09,182
or gas lines are down

2514
00:38:09,182 --> 00:38:09,564
,

2515
00:38:09,564 --> 00:38:11,670
it could

2516
00:38:11,670 --> 00:38:11,767
be problematic to heat

2517
00:38:11,767 --> 00:38:12,935
if you don't have a third

2518
00:38:12,935 --> 00:38:13,535
way

2519
00:38:13,535 --> 00:38:13,903
to do that. And

2520
00:38:13,903 --> 00:38:15,170
you can buy

2521
00:38:15,170 --> 00:38:15,538
a

2522
00:38:15,538 --> 00:38:16,390
case of

2523
00:38:16,390 --> 00:38:16,472
water relatively cheap.

2524
00:38:16,472 --> 00:38:18,472
Yes, you can

2525
00:38:18,807 --> 00:38:20,800
. Yes, Mr

2526
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:20,410
. Browning

2527
00:38:20,410 --> 00:38:20,910
any other

2528
00:38:20,910 --> 00:38:21,144
questions or thoughts

2529
00:38:21,144 --> 00:38:23,112
?

2530
00:38:23,112 --> 00:38:24,581
So the, the

2531
00:38:24,581 --> 00:38:25,414
, I mean they're

2532
00:38:25,414 --> 00:38:27,830
making it sound like we are

2533
00:38:27,830 --> 00:38:27,850
just surefire to get another

2534
00:38:27,850 --> 00:38:28,618
big storm this year. Is that

2535
00:38:28,618 --> 00:38:29,284
a

2536
00:38:29,284 --> 00:38:29,481
lot of, a lot of drama

2537
00:38:29,481 --> 00:38:29,753
, or is

2538
00:38:29,753 --> 00:38:31,753
that

2539
00:38:31,854 --> 00:38:32,254
, uh, how's accurate is

2540
00:38:32,254 --> 00:38:33,456
that? Um

2541
00:38:33,456 --> 00:38:33,923
, we

2542
00:38:33,923 --> 00:38:34,157
, well, so at

2543
00:38:34,157 --> 00:38:34,691
flood

2544
00:38:34,691 --> 00:38:35,992
Awareness Week

2545
00:38:35,992 --> 00:38:36,425
next week we

2546
00:38:36,425 --> 00:38:36,826
will have

2547
00:38:36,826 --> 00:38:37,761
a presentation

2548
00:38:37,761 --> 00:38:38,361
from

2549
00:38:38,361 --> 00:38:38,928
the National Weather Service

2550
00:38:38,928 --> 00:38:40,263
who's going to give

2551
00:38:40,263 --> 00:38:40,529
us uh the

2552
00:38:40,529 --> 00:38:41,364
fall

2553
00:38:41,364 --> 00:38:42,532
winter forecast

2554
00:38:42,532 --> 00:38:43,233
. I think

2555
00:38:43,233 --> 00:38:44,967
it's really too early

2556
00:38:44,967 --> 00:38:45,201
to say

2557
00:38:45,201 --> 00:38:45,702
,

2558
00:38:45,702 --> 00:38:46,870
um, we do have

2559
00:38:46,870 --> 00:38:47,304
a

2560
00:38:47,304 --> 00:38:47,671
strong signal

2561
00:38:47,671 --> 00:38:47,904
for an

2562
00:38:47,904 --> 00:38:49,372
El

2563
00:38:49,372 --> 00:38:49,773
Nino

2564
00:38:49,773 --> 00:38:50,500
, and

2565
00:38:50,500 --> 00:38:50,240
I

2566
00:38:50,240 --> 00:38:52,240
have

2567
00:38:52,275 --> 00:38:54,244
heard um that we might have um

2568
00:38:54,244 --> 00:38:54,944
.

2569
00:38:54,944 --> 00:38:55,945
More coastal flooding this

2570
00:38:55,945 --> 00:38:56,379
year

2571
00:38:56,379 --> 00:38:56,913
but it

2572
00:38:56,913 --> 00:38:58,381
really is too

2573
00:38:58,381 --> 00:38:58,647
soon to

2574
00:38:58,647 --> 00:38:59,249
say

2575
00:38:59,249 --> 00:39:00,383
. We just

2576
00:39:00,383 --> 00:39:00,717
start

2577
00:39:00,717 --> 00:39:01,500
watching

2578
00:39:01,500 --> 00:39:01,484
these

2579
00:39:01,484 --> 00:39:02,853
markers

2580
00:39:02,853 --> 00:39:03,850
now

2581
00:39:03,850 --> 00:39:03,553
and um

2582
00:39:03,553 --> 00:39:05,422
continue to

2583
00:39:05,422 --> 00:39:05,755
. Hone in on

2584
00:39:05,755 --> 00:39:06,123
those

2585
00:39:06,123 --> 00:39:07,324
throughout

2586
00:39:07,324 --> 00:39:07,591
the rest

2587
00:39:07,591 --> 00:39:08,191

2588
00:39:08,191 --> 00:39:09,560

2601
00:39:19,703 --> 00:39:21,500
all have set on

2602
00:39:21,500 --> 00:39:21,338
our

2604
00:39:21,571 --> 00:39:21,939

2605
00:39:21,939 --> 00:39:23,273
early

2606
00:39:23,273 --> 00:39:23,540

2609
00:39:25,942 --> 00:39:26,809

2610
00:39:26,809 --> 00:39:28,111
the ability to get

2611
00:39:28,111 --> 00:39:28,277

very responsive to us if we

Hear or see

00:39:36,486 --> 00:39:36,786
something, even if

we're

2624
00:39:37,454 --> 00:39:39,156

2625
00:39:39,156 --> 00:39:39,857
get back to us right away, and

00:39:39,857 --> 00:39:41,291
that helps us start planning

2627
00:39:41,291 --> 00:39:41,959
.

2628
00:39:41,959 --> 00:39:43,600
And you talked about

2629
00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:43,827
your go

2630
00:39:43,827 --> 00:39:44,395
bags, and I really want to

2631
00:39:44,395 --> 00:39:45,696
emphasize the

2632
00:39:45,696 --> 00:39:46,960
importance of

2633
00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:46,597
medication

2634
00:39:46,597 --> 00:39:47,731
. Older people

2635
00:39:47,731 --> 00:39:48,332
get so

2636
00:39:48,332 --> 00:39:49,900
dependent and to be

2637
00:39:49,900 --> 00:39:50,600
shut off

2638
00:39:50,600 --> 00:39:51,100
medication for a couple of days

2639
00:39:51,100 --> 00:39:52,503
can have

2640
00:39:52,503 --> 00:39:52,769
really

2641
00:39:52,769 --> 00:39:53,271
catastrophic

2642
00:39:53,271 --> 00:39:54,505
impacts, so we

2643
00:39:54,505 --> 00:39:54,705
, you

2644
00:39:54,705 --> 00:39:55,372
just set

2645
00:39:55,372 --> 00:39:55,639
yourself up with a week's worth

2646
00:39:55,639 --> 00:39:56,806
to

2647
00:39:56,806 --> 00:39:57,574
just

2648
00:39:57,574 --> 00:39:59,310
set aside. Most of the

2649
00:39:59,310 --> 00:39:59,977
pharmacies will give you a

2650
00:39:59,977 --> 00:40:00,410
three month supply at a time.

2651
00:40:00,410 --> 00:40:01,411
So, you can

2652
00:40:01,411 --> 00:40:02,790
just take some of

2653
00:40:02,790 --> 00:40:02,345
that and put it in a safe place

2654
00:40:02,345 --> 00:40:03,581
so

2655
00:40:03,581 --> 00:40:04,348
it's

2656
00:40:04,348 --> 00:40:06,183
always there. And so

2657
00:40:06,183 --> 00:40:06,550
that is so important. We found

2658
00:40:06,550 --> 00:40:07,151
that up

2659
00:40:07,151 --> 00:40:07,952
at Hamilton a couple

2660
00:40:07,952 --> 00:40:08,753
of

2661
00:40:08,753 --> 00:40:09,153
years ago and quite a few years

2662
00:40:09,153 --> 00:40:10,388
ago and no

2663
00:40:10,388 --> 00:40:11,540
one had their

2664
00:40:11,540 --> 00:40:11,389
medications and it was getting.

2665
00:40:11,389 --> 00:40:12,889
Really

2666
00:40:12,889 --> 00:40:13,457
scary and some of the

2667
00:40:13,457 --> 00:40:14,825
people at the church

2668
00:40:14,825 --> 00:40:15,359
, so

2669
00:40:15,359 --> 00:40:15,826
, so we

2670
00:40:15,826 --> 00:40:17,161
can't emphasize

2671
00:40:17,161 --> 00:40:17,628
that

2672
00:40:17,628 --> 00:40:18,262
enough and

2673
00:40:18,262 --> 00:40:19,230
reminding people when

2674
00:40:19,230 --> 00:40:19,664
you do

2675
00:40:19,664 --> 00:40:19,897
set those

2676
00:40:19,897 --> 00:40:21,897
aside

2677
00:40:22,500 --> 00:40:24,200
, um, take a

2678
00:40:24,200 --> 00:40:24,635
a

2679
00:40:24,635 --> 00:40:24,969
masking tape or something and

2680
00:40:24,969 --> 00:40:26,300
mark on

2681
00:40:26,300 --> 00:40:26,270
there

2682
00:40:26,270 --> 00:40:26,570
the

2683
00:40:26,570 --> 00:40:27,105
expiration

2684
00:40:27,105 --> 00:40:28,372
date and what it

2685
00:40:28,372 --> 00:40:29,390
is because you

2686
00:40:29,390 --> 00:40:29,440
want to be able to cycle those

2687
00:40:29,440 --> 00:40:30,842
through

2688
00:40:30,842 --> 00:40:31,475
through but yes, at

2689
00:40:31,475 --> 00:40:31,743
your pharmacist can usually

2690
00:40:31,743 --> 00:40:33,770
help

2691
00:40:33,770 --> 00:40:33,344
you come up with a

2692
00:40:33,344 --> 00:40:33,844
good

2693
00:40:33,844 --> 00:40:35,246
emergency plan

2694
00:40:35,246 --> 00:40:35,647
for medications.

2695
00:40:35,647 --> 00:40:37,647
Thank you

2696
00:40:37,915 --> 00:40:38,349
. Yeah, we live in a

2697
00:40:38,349 --> 00:40:39,684
very unique

2698
00:40:39,684 --> 00:40:40,317
area here. It's the

2699
00:40:40,317 --> 00:40:41,886
3rd largest river in the

2700
00:40:41,886 --> 00:40:42,554
. West

2701
00:40:42,554 --> 00:40:42,886
Coast of United States, so it

2702
00:40:42,886 --> 00:40:44,189
has a

2703
00:40:44,189 --> 00:40:44,523
very large

2704
00:40:44,523 --> 00:40:44,822
volume and

2705
00:40:44,822 --> 00:40:46,323
like

2706
00:40:46,323 --> 00:40:46,690
you mentioned

2707
00:40:46,690 --> 00:40:47,191
, um, don't

2708
00:40:47,191 --> 00:40:48,726
just look at the

2709
00:40:48,726 --> 00:40:49,526
, the gauges

2710
00:40:49,526 --> 00:40:51,290
because the river changes and

2711
00:40:51,290 --> 00:40:51,528
so forth

2712
00:40:51,528 --> 00:40:51,896
. And one of the things

2713
00:40:51,896 --> 00:40:53,130
I know

2714
00:40:53,130 --> 00:40:53,698
they're looking at, you

2715
00:40:53,698 --> 00:40:55,333
know, the cubic feet

2716
00:40:55,333 --> 00:40:55,633
have that

2717
00:40:55,633 --> 00:40:56,234
number

2718
00:40:56,234 --> 00:40:57,769
instead of a 10 year

2719
00:40:57,769 --> 00:40:58,360
flood or

2720
00:40:58,360 --> 00:40:58,637
25

2721
00:40:58,637 --> 00:41:00,271
year flood because

2722
00:41:00,271 --> 00:41:02,271
Um, with

2723
00:41:02,674 --> 00:41:04,309
Climate

2724
00:41:04,309 --> 00:41:05,430
changing those

2725
00:41:05,430 --> 00:41:05,376
MAY not mean what you expect

2726
00:41:05,376 --> 00:41:06,744
them

2727
00:41:06,744 --> 00:41:07,211
to mean. So

2728
00:41:07,211 --> 00:41:07,913
that's why the

2729
00:41:07,913 --> 00:41:08,847
cubic feet per second in

2730
00:41:08,847 --> 00:41:09,281
the

2731
00:41:09,281 --> 00:41:11,281
river is

2732
00:41:11,283 --> 00:41:11,917
really important to

2733
00:41:11,917 --> 00:41:12,217
understand how much volume is

2734
00:41:12,217 --> 00:41:13,552
coming

2735
00:41:13,552 --> 00:41:13,785
down and when a

2736
00:41:13,785 --> 00:41:14,419
certain

2737
00:41:14,419 --> 00:41:15,954
volume level hits

2738
00:41:15,954 --> 00:41:16,687
, then certain

2739
00:41:16,687 --> 00:41:18,223
roads go underwater and that

2740
00:41:18,223 --> 00:41:18,657
kind of stuff, so people

2741
00:41:18,657 --> 00:41:20,580
understand the

2742
00:41:20,580 --> 00:41:20,659
process. Yeah,

2743
00:41:20,659 --> 00:41:21,590
that's a good reminder. We

2744
00:41:21,590 --> 00:41:22,360
should do

2745
00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:23,494
a um

2746
00:41:23,494 --> 00:41:25,297
preparedness

2747
00:41:25,297 --> 00:41:26,998
Facebook post about that, about

2748
00:41:26,998 --> 00:41:27,599
learning how to read those

2749
00:41:27,599 --> 00:41:27,899
numbers and where to get the

2750
00:41:27,899 --> 00:41:29,100
source

2751
00:41:29,100 --> 00:41:29,868
for that

2752
00:41:29,868 --> 00:41:31,103
. But

2753
00:41:31,103 --> 00:41:31,769
, uh, we,

2754
00:41:31,769 --> 00:41:31,970
like I said, we live in

2755
00:41:31,970 --> 00:41:33,906
a

2756
00:41:33,906 --> 00:41:34,439
valley and it was formed

2757
00:41:34,439 --> 00:41:35,907
because the river

2758
00:41:35,907 --> 00:41:36,574
flooded and

2759
00:41:36,574 --> 00:41:36,875
all the sediment. That's why we

2760
00:41:36,875 --> 00:41:38,609
have

2761
00:41:38,609 --> 00:41:38,771
relatively flat land here

2762
00:41:38,771 --> 00:41:39,770
.

2763
00:41:39,770 --> 00:41:40,445
That means

2764
00:41:40,445 --> 00:41:41,180
the river flooded at

2765
00:41:41,180 --> 00:41:43,247
one point if it's flat, then

2766
00:41:43,247 --> 00:41:43,407
then then got mountains

2767
00:41:43,407 --> 00:41:43,849
. It

2768
00:41:43,849 --> 00:41:45,830
hasn't flooded

2769
00:41:45,830 --> 00:41:45,239
, but down in

2770
00:41:45,239 --> 00:41:45,684
the

2771
00:41:45,684 --> 00:41:47,684
valley area it

2772
00:41:47,686 --> 00:41:48,520
has flooded at

2773
00:41:48,520 --> 00:41:48,821
one point over the thousands of

2774
00:41:48,821 --> 00:41:49,588
years

2775
00:41:49,588 --> 00:41:50,220
, and so people need to

2776
00:41:50,220 --> 00:41:51,590
realize that

2777
00:41:51,590 --> 00:41:52,157
when they're

2778
00:41:52,157 --> 00:41:52,490
living here and

2779
00:41:52,490 --> 00:41:52,858
understanding

2780
00:41:52,858 --> 00:41:53,859
what they

2781
00:41:53,859 --> 00:41:55,859
can

2782
00:41:56,950 --> 00:41:56,928
do to get

2783
00:41:56,928 --> 00:41:58,464
themselves to safety. Yes

2784
00:41:58,464 --> 00:41:59,231
,

2785
00:41:59,231 --> 00:42:00,900
absolutely. Any other questions

2786
00:42:00,900 --> 00:42:02,701
or comments

2787
00:42:02,701 --> 00:42:03,102
? No

2788
00:42:03,102 --> 00:42:03,469
, thank you

2789
00:42:03,469 --> 00:42:03,802
. I

2790
00:42:03,802 --> 00:42:05,304
feel

2791
00:42:05,304 --> 00:42:05,938
real protected. This is a

2792
00:42:05,938 --> 00:42:06,272
really good crew you pulled

2793
00:42:06,272 --> 00:42:07,940
together

2794
00:42:07,940 --> 00:42:09,542
. It's just, this is

2795
00:42:09,542 --> 00:42:10,509
good

2796
00:42:10,509 --> 00:42:12,178
. They

2797
00:42:12,178 --> 00:42:12,811
aren't able to

2798
00:42:12,811 --> 00:42:13,179
protect you. They they're able

2799
00:42:13,179 --> 00:42:14,800
to help

2800
00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:14,313
you

2801
00:42:14,313 --> 00:42:14,547
if

2802
00:42:14,547 --> 00:42:14,880
something

2803
00:42:14,880 --> 00:42:16,215
happens

2804
00:42:16,215 --> 00:42:16,549
, so I

2805
00:42:16,549 --> 00:42:16,949
feel protected.

2806
00:42:16,949 --> 00:42:17,216
They have

2807
00:42:17,216 --> 00:42:18,650
the

2808
00:42:18,650 --> 00:42:19,352
training. Some

2809
00:42:19,352 --> 00:42:19,919
things just happen and they'll

2810
00:42:19,919 --> 00:42:20,853
can help you with

2811
00:42:20,853 --> 00:42:21,587
your

2812
00:42:21,587 --> 00:42:22,822
You

2813
00:42:22,822 --> 00:42:23,456
look

2814
00:42:23,456 --> 00:42:23,989
at the news the last

2815
00:42:23,989 --> 00:42:25,224
couple

2816
00:42:25,224 --> 00:42:26,250
of

2817
00:42:26,250 --> 00:42:27,492
weeks there's been some huge

2818
00:42:27,492 --> 00:42:28,127
,

2819
00:42:28,127 --> 00:42:28,594
huge events across the world,

2820
00:42:28,594 --> 00:42:30,594
and it's uh

2821
00:42:30,596 --> 00:42:32,531
People don't

2822
00:42:32,531 --> 00:42:32,965
understand how much forest

2823
00:42:32,965 --> 00:42:34,467
water does

2824
00:42:34,467 --> 00:42:34,800

a

3056
00:46:16,681 --> 00:46:17,114
potential resolution for

3057
00:46:17,114 --> 00:46:18,683
consideration

3058
00:46:18,683 --> 00:46:19,170

3061
00:46:19,551 --> 00:46:20,885
changes

3062
00:46:20,885 --> 00:46:21,353
. And

3063
00:46:21,353 --> 00:46:21,753
so I'll just dive

3064
00:46:21,753 --> 00:46:23,622

00:46:23,622 --> 00:46:24,188
, um, this first slide

3066
00:46:24,188 --> 00:46:25,490
is just showing

3067
00:46:25,490 --> 00:46:26,157
that timeline

3068
00:46:26,157 --> 00:46:27,525
we've been going through

3069
00:46:27,525 --> 00:46:28,225
this

3070
00:46:28,225 --> 00:46:28,627
year, um, and where we are

3071
00:46:28,627 --> 00:46:30,270
right now

3072
00:46:30,270 --> 00:46:30,295
, so

3073
00:46:30,295 --> 00:46:30,529
we've

3074
00:46:30,529 --> 00:46:30,929
already had

3075
00:46:30,929 --> 00:46:32,130
um, quite

3076
00:46:32,130 --> 00:46:32,897
a few

3077
00:46:32,897 --> 00:46:33,264
. Chances for

3078
00:46:33,264 --> 00:46:35,167
outreach

3079
00:46:35,167 --> 00:46:35,634
to the public. We had

3080
00:46:35,634 --> 00:46:35,934

we sent ballots to

3085
00:46:38,603 --> 00:46:39,400
all

3086
00:46:39,400 --> 00:46:41,400

3087
00:46:41,239 --> 00:46:41,706

3088
00:46:41,706 --> 00:46:43,375

3090
00:46:44,275 --> 00:46:45,777
round 7 in favor, 1 against

3091
00:46:45,777 --> 00:46:46,378
.

3092
00:46:46,378 --> 00:46:47,745
And those ballots

3093
00:46:47,745 --> 00:46:48,213
are simple

3094
00:46:48,213 --> 00:46:50,213
yes or nos

3095
00:46:50,248 --> 00:46:50,482

3103
00:46:54,953 --> 00:46:55,521
are on our

3104
00:46:55,521 --> 00:46:56,821
final step

3105
00:46:56,821 --> 00:46:57,560
of

3106
00:46:57,560 --> 00:46:57,723
our

3107
00:46:57,723 --> 00:46:58,123
second public hearing, like I

3108
00:46:58,123 --> 00:46:59,291

3111
00:46:59,958 --> 00:47:00,425
possible

3112
00:47:00,425 --> 00:47:01,760
action to adopt

3113
00:47:01,760 --> 00:47:02,940

3114
00:47:02,940 --> 00:47:02,327
resolution.

3115
00:47:02,327 --> 00:47:03,762
Um

3116
00:47:03,762 --> 00:47:04,129

3117
00:47:04,129 --> 00:47:04,629
, if approved,

3118
00:47:04,629 --> 00:47:06,164
would go into

3119
00:47:06,164 --> 00:47:06,732
effect starting

3120
00:47:06,732 --> 00:47:08,732

3123
00:47:13,339 --> 00:47:13,672
the proposed changes to our

3124
00:47:13,672 --> 00:47:15,106
special

3125
00:47:15,106 --> 00:47:15,307
assessment

3126
00:47:15,307 --> 00:47:15,707
rate

3127
00:47:15,707 --> 00:47:16,275
structure

3128
00:47:16,275 --> 00:47:17,800
, um, as I mentioned

3129
00:47:17,800 --> 00:47:17,709
,

3130
00:47:17,709 --> 00:47:18,244
this was included at the first

3131
00:47:18,244 --> 00:47:20,244
public hearing, as

3132
00:47:20,980 --> 00:47:21,614
well as on

3133
00:47:21,614 --> 00:47:22,514
the ballots sent

3134
00:47:22,514 --> 00:47:22,847
to residents

3135
00:47:22,847 --> 00:47:23,249
,

3136
00:47:23,249 --> 00:47:24,150
um, what you

3137
00:47:24,150 --> 00:47:24,483
see

3138
00:47:24,483 --> 00:47:25,170
here is the

3139
00:47:25,170 --> 00:47:26,118
breakdown of the

3140
00:47:26,118 --> 00:47:26,552
land

3141
00:47:26,552 --> 00:47:27,253
use types

3142
00:47:27,253 --> 00:47:28,586
The

3143
00:47:28,586 --> 00:47:29,187
number

3144
00:47:29,187 --> 00:47:29,554
of units per type,

3145
00:47:29,554 --> 00:47:30,890
and then

3146
00:47:30,890 --> 00:47:31,424
that base rate, so you

3147
00:47:31,424 --> 00:47:31,857
can see in the

3148
00:47:31,857 --> 00:47:32,824
orange column

3149
00:47:32,824 --> 00:47:33,559
,

3150
00:47:33,559 --> 00:47:33,793
that's our current rate

3151
00:47:33,793 --> 00:47:34,327
, we

3152
00:47:34,327 --> 00:47:35,394
have established for

3153
00:47:35,394 --> 00:47:36,128
this lake

3154
00:47:36,128 --> 00:47:38,197
Management District. What we

3155
00:47:38,197 --> 00:47:38,531
are proposing and what we

3156
00:47:38,531 --> 00:47:40,531
received

3157
00:47:40,532 --> 00:47:40,900
, um, support for

3158
00:47:40,900 --> 00:47:42,267
through

3159
00:47:42,267 --> 00:47:42,601
those

3160
00:47:42,601 --> 00:47:43,300
ballots is for

3161
00:47:43,300 --> 00:47:44,669
the next

3162
00:47:44,669 --> 00:47:45,271
10 years, having a

3163
00:47:45,271 --> 00:47:46,372
slight increase

3164
00:47:46,372 --> 00:47:46,639
to

3165
00:47:46,639 --> 00:47:46,972

3167
00:47:47,406 --> 00:47:48,974
increases to

3168
00:47:48,974 --> 00:47:49,475
treatment. So that

3169
00:47:49,475 --> 00:47:49,809
was the main

3170
00:47:49,809 --> 00:47:50,943
initiator

3171
00:47:50,943 --> 00:47:51,411
for

3172
00:47:51,411 --> 00:47:51,811
reforming this

3173
00:47:51,811 --> 00:47:53,479
district

3174
00:47:53,479 --> 00:47:53,813
early

3175
00:47:53,813 --> 00:47:54,480
is

3176
00:47:54,480 --> 00:47:55,782
um the rapes

3177
00:47:55,782 --> 00:47:55,946
have gone

3178
00:47:55,946 --> 00:47:56,548
up

3179
00:47:56,548 --> 00:47:56,883
for treatments of lakes and of

3180
00:47:56,883 --> 00:47:58,718
these

3181
00:47:58,718 --> 00:47:59,985
., aquatic

3182
00:47:59,985 --> 00:48:00,286
weeds

3183
00:48:00,286 --> 00:48:00,719
. And so

3184
00:48:00,719 --> 00:48:01,870
what we're

3185
00:48:01,870 --> 00:48:02,221
doing here

3186
00:48:02,221 --> 00:48:02,822

3187
00:48:02,822 --> 00:48:03,222

small

3191
00:48:05,558 --> 00:48:06,559
increase

3192
00:48:06,559 --> 00:48:07,193

help support and keep up with

3194
00:48:07,727 --> 00:48:09,162

3226
00:48:40,293 --> 00:48:41,227
, I

3227
00:48:41,227 --> 00:48:41,561
am Evan Emrick. I'm the noxious

3228
00:48:41,561 --> 00:48:43,280
weed

3229
00:48:43,280 --> 00:48:43,296
coordinator for

3230
00:48:43,296 --> 00:48:43,797
Saskatchet

3231
00:48:43,797 --> 00:48:45,640
County, um, and I

3232
00:48:45,640 --> 00:48:45,464
also

3233
00:48:45,464 --> 00:48:45,865
oversee

3234
00:48:45,865 --> 00:48:47,233
our uh 4

3235
00:48:47,233 --> 00:48:47,667
, for

3236
00:48:47,667 --> 00:48:48,267
lake management

3237
00:48:48,267 --> 00:48:49,836
districts, uh, as well

3238
00:48:49,836 --> 00:48:50,203
. So

3239
00:48:50,203 --> 00:48:50,604
, uh,

3240
00:48:50,604 --> 00:48:52,172
with lake

3241
00:48:52,172 --> 00:48:52,806
management District 4

3242
00:48:52,806 --> 00:48:54,410
Clear and Beaver Lakes

3243
00:48:54,410 --> 00:48:54,708
, um, as

3244
00:48:54,708 --> 00:48:55,174
Jen kind of pointed out, we've

3245
00:48:55,174 --> 00:48:56,643
been sort of

3246
00:48:56,643 --> 00:48:57,277
running into

3247
00:48:57,277 --> 00:48:57,577
simply a lack of funds for the

3248
00:48:57,577 --> 00:48:58,812
amount

3249
00:48:58,812 --> 00:48:59,279
of treatments that we

3250
00:48:59,279 --> 00:49:00,747
need to do out

3251
00:49:00,747 --> 00:49:00,981
there

3252
00:49:00,981 --> 00:49:01,448
. Um, some

3253
00:49:01,448 --> 00:49:01,682
of the, some of

3254
00:49:01,682 --> 00:49:03,160
the

3255
00:49:03,160 --> 00:49:03,749
activities

3256
00:49:03,749 --> 00:49:04,351
that go along with our

3257
00:49:04,351 --> 00:49:05,184
contractors include

3258
00:49:05,184 --> 00:49:05,953
surveys and

3259
00:49:05,953 --> 00:49:06,253
mappings. Um, as you can see in

3260
00:49:06,253 --> 00:49:07,488
the

3261
00:49:07,488 --> 00:49:07,854
top

3262
00:49:07,854 --> 00:49:08,254
right there

3263
00:49:08,254 --> 00:49:08,788
, um, this

3264
00:49:08,788 --> 00:49:09,756
is essentially using

3265
00:49:09,756 --> 00:49:10,230
a

3266
00:49:10,230 --> 00:49:10,389
bio

3267
00:49:10,389 --> 00:49:12,125
survey

3268
00:49:12,125 --> 00:49:12,825
, um, type data where we

3269
00:49:12,825 --> 00:49:13,193
are able to look through the

3270
00:49:13,193 --> 00:49:14,461
water and

3271
00:49:14,461 --> 00:49:14,794
then be able

3272
00:49:14,794 --> 00:49:15,280
to

3273
00:49:15,280 --> 00:49:15,529
see

3274
00:49:15,529 --> 00:49:16,597
uh the amount

3275
00:49:16,597 --> 00:49:16,829
of

3276
00:49:16,829 --> 00:49:17,397
vegetation

3277
00:49:17,397 --> 00:49:18,565
that is through the

3278
00:49:18,565 --> 00:49:18,966
water

3279
00:49:18,966 --> 00:49:19,366
column. Uh

3280
00:49:19,366 --> 00:49:19,700
, we use

3281
00:49:19,700 --> 00:49:20,934
this

3282
00:49:20,934 --> 00:49:21,502
data

3283
00:49:21,502 --> 00:49:21,664
yearly, um, just for

3284
00:49:21,664 --> 00:49:22,135
data

3285
00:49:22,135 --> 00:49:23,537
collection, for

3286
00:49:23,537 --> 00:49:24,270
planning for

3287
00:49:24,270 --> 00:49:24,538
future treatments, um, and so

3288
00:49:24,538 --> 00:49:25,673
that

3289
00:49:25,673 --> 00:49:26,140
we

3290
00:49:26,140 --> 00:49:26,706
can not just see, of

3291
00:49:26,706 --> 00:49:27,741
course, what's above

3292
00:49:27,741 --> 00:49:28,142
the

3293
00:49:28,142 --> 00:49:28,776
surface

3294
00:49:28,776 --> 00:49:29,760
for vegetation issues,

3295
00:49:29,760 --> 00:49:30,211
but

3296
00:49:30,211 --> 00:49:30,811
below as well

3297
00:49:30,811 --> 00:49:31,780
. There's also

3298
00:49:31,780 --> 00:49:32,379
a

3299
00:49:32,379 --> 00:49:32,746
number

3300
00:49:32,746 --> 00:49:33,280
of permits

3301
00:49:33,280 --> 00:49:33,714
, um, and

3302
00:49:33,714 --> 00:49:34,582
publications

3303
00:49:34,582 --> 00:49:34,882
, like

3304
00:49:34,882 --> 00:49:35,449
public

3305
00:49:35,449 --> 00:49:36,684
notifications that

3306
00:49:36,684 --> 00:49:36,917
we

3307
00:49:36,917 --> 00:49:37,484
need to

3308
00:49:37,484 --> 00:49:37,851
go about when we do these

3309
00:49:37,851 --> 00:49:39,487
treatments

3310
00:49:39,487 --> 00:49:41,210
each year, um

3311
00:49:41,210 --> 00:49:41,388
, some

3312
00:49:41,388 --> 00:49:41,855
of these

3313
00:49:41,855 --> 00:49:43,523
, uh, treatments

3314
00:49:43,523 --> 00:49:43,824
, uh,

3315
00:49:43,824 --> 00:49:44,424
for

3316
00:49:44,424 --> 00:49:44,725
notifications would overlap

3317
00:49:44,725 --> 00:49:46,293
with

3318
00:49:46,293 --> 00:49:46,467
my noxious weed type work

3319
00:49:46,467 --> 00:49:46,861
,

3320
00:49:46,861 --> 00:49:48,162
treating mostly

3321
00:49:48,162 --> 00:49:48,695
fragrant water

3322
00:49:48,695 --> 00:49:49,630
lilies, which are a class

3323
00:49:49,630 --> 00:49:50,264
seaweed

3324
00:49:50,264 --> 00:49:50,564
. Here

3325
00:49:50,564 --> 00:49:50,964
in Saskatchew

3326
00:49:50,964 --> 00:49:52,833
County, as

3327
00:49:52,833 --> 00:49:53,634
Eurasian water mill

3328
00:49:53,634 --> 00:49:54,969
foil, which is b. Both of

3329
00:49:54,969 --> 00:49:55,703
these

3330
00:49:55,703 --> 00:49:56,170
noxious weeds are non-selected,

3331
00:49:56,170 --> 00:49:57,471
meaning they

3332
00:49:57,471 --> 00:49:58,172
are not required

3333
00:49:58,172 --> 00:49:58,506
for control, but of course have

3334
00:49:58,506 --> 00:49:59,340
a lot

3335
00:49:59,340 --> 00:49:59,807
of

3336
00:49:59,807 --> 00:50:00,307
nuisance problems when

3337
00:50:00,307 --> 00:50:01,742
it becomes an

3338
00:50:01,742 --> 00:50:02,109
issue in our

3339
00:50:02,109 --> 00:50:02,509
leagues

3340
00:50:02,509 --> 00:50:04,110
. Uh

3341
00:50:04,110 --> 00:50:04,612
, some more of the

3342
00:50:04,612 --> 00:50:05,880
things that we need

3343
00:50:05,880 --> 00:50:06,681
, uh, for

3344
00:50:06,681 --> 00:50:07,114
activities, uh, we need to

3345
00:50:07,114 --> 00:50:08,783
further our

3346
00:50:08,783 --> 00:50:09,283
, uh, monitoring for

3347
00:50:09,283 --> 00:50:10,751
water quality

3348
00:50:10,751 --> 00:50:11,850
. Um, we've been

3349
00:50:11,850 --> 00:50:11,586
having

3350
00:50:11,586 --> 00:50:13,186
some miscellaneous

3351
00:50:13,186 --> 00:50:13,788
issues with algae in some of

3352
00:50:13,788 --> 00:50:15,560
the other local lakes

3353
00:50:15,560 --> 00:50:15,690
around

3354
00:50:15,690 --> 00:50:16,390
Saskatchew County, so we wanna

3355
00:50:16,390 --> 00:50:17,892
kind of make sure as best

3356
00:50:17,892 --> 00:50:18,392
as

3357
00:50:18,392 --> 00:50:18,825
possible if this

3358
00:50:18,825 --> 00:50:19,930
in Clear Lake,

3359
00:50:19,930 --> 00:50:20,280
we

3360
00:50:20,280 --> 00:50:20,762
have a sort of battle ready

3361
00:50:20,762 --> 00:50:21,620
plan of what we need to do with

3362
00:50:21,620 --> 00:50:22,897
that

3363
00:50:22,897 --> 00:50:23,964
. Uh, we also want

3364
00:50:23,964 --> 00:50:24,365
to

3365
00:50:24,365 --> 00:50:24,699
continue our

3366
00:50:24,699 --> 00:50:25,265
community and

3367
00:50:25,265 --> 00:50:26,267
education outreach

3368
00:50:26,267 --> 00:50:26,568
as

3369
00:50:26,568 --> 00:50:26,727
well

3370
00:50:26,727 --> 00:50:27,469
, um,

3371
00:50:27,469 --> 00:50:28,870
including in these annual

3372
00:50:28,870 --> 00:50:29,137
reports that our

3373
00:50:29,137 --> 00:50:29,938
contractors

3374
00:50:29,938 --> 00:50:31,406
give to us and then we're able

3375
00:50:31,406 --> 00:50:31,940
to relay to the public in order

3376
00:50:31,940 --> 00:50:32,974
to get feedback on

3377
00:50:32,974 --> 00:50:33,674
what we

3378
00:50:33,674 --> 00:50:34,142
would like to do with the lakes

3379
00:50:34,142 --> 00:50:35,443
moving forward

3380
00:50:35,443 --> 00:50:35,776
. Uh

3381
00:50:35,776 --> 00:50:36,277
, included in

3382
00:50:36,277 --> 00:50:37,612
our newsletters

3383
00:50:37,612 --> 00:50:38,213
as well

3384
00:50:38,213 --> 00:50:38,746
. Um, so

3385
00:50:38,746 --> 00:50:40,281
a couple

3386
00:50:40,281 --> 00:50:40,682
of things that some of

3387
00:50:40,682 --> 00:50:42,283
this

3388
00:50:42,283 --> 00:50:42,617
, um, you know

3389
00:50:42,617 --> 00:50:43,318
, further

3390
00:50:43,318 --> 00:50:44,452
assessment might

3391
00:50:44,452 --> 00:50:45,220
help us with

3392
00:50:45,220 --> 00:50:46,488
and what we're looking to do

3393
00:50:46,488 --> 00:50:47,154
,

3394
00:50:47,154 --> 00:50:48,723
um, as suggested by

3395
00:50:48,723 --> 00:50:49,257
contractors

3396
00:50:49,257 --> 00:50:49,958
historically would be to

3397
00:50:49,958 --> 00:50:51,293
include treatments in the

3398
00:50:51,293 --> 00:50:51,860
early

3399
00:50:51,860 --> 00:50:52,360
spring to treat seedlings

3400
00:50:52,360 --> 00:50:53,394
instead of only

3401
00:50:53,394 --> 00:50:53,995
doing one

3402
00:50:53,995 --> 00:50:54,329
treatment a year on fully

3403
00:50:54,329 --> 00:50:55,764
matured

3404
00:50:55,764 --> 00:50:56,630
plants and only once

3405
00:50:56,630 --> 00:50:56,631
during

3406
00:50:56,631 --> 00:50:57,899
the midsummer

3407
00:50:57,899 --> 00:50:58,666
. Um

3408
00:50:58,666 --> 00:50:59,167
um,

3409
00:50:59,167 --> 00:51:00,202
considerations of

3410
00:51:00,202 --> 00:51:01,200
mechanical

3411
00:51:01,200 --> 00:51:01,570
harvesting for some of the more

3412
00:51:01,570 --> 00:51:02,437
dense shoreline areas

3413
00:51:02,437 --> 00:51:03,138
that we

3414
00:51:03,138 --> 00:51:03,739
have, particularly near the

3415
00:51:03,739 --> 00:51:05,240
boat launches as well

3416
00:51:05,240 --> 00:51:05,540
. And

3417
00:51:05,540 --> 00:51:07,900
expand

3418
00:51:07,900 --> 00:51:07,743
our herbicide swaths

3419
00:51:07,743 --> 00:51:09,644
near these boat launches to

3420
00:51:09,644 --> 00:51:09,911
ensure that there

3421
00:51:09,911 --> 00:51:10,780
is

3422
00:51:10,780 --> 00:51:10,412
better

3423
00:51:10,412 --> 00:51:11,780
access

3424
00:51:11,780 --> 00:51:13,548
to the lakes as well

3425
00:51:13,548 --> 00:51:14,820
. Uh

3426
00:51:14,820 --> 00:51:14,549
so

3427
00:51:14,549 --> 00:51:16,484
, with that

3428
00:51:16,484 --> 00:51:18,420
, um, I am open

3429
00:51:18,420 --> 00:51:18,611
for questions. Um, if

3430
00:51:18,611 --> 00:51:19,254
any

3431
00:51:19,254 --> 00:51:20,555
members of the public or

3432
00:51:20,555 --> 00:51:20,717
Mr

3433
00:51:20,717 --> 00:51:21,123
.

3434
00:51:21,123 --> 00:51:22,891
Have any for me

3435
00:51:22,891 --> 00:51:23,158
? Mr

3436
00:51:23,158 --> 00:51:23,625
. Browning,

3437
00:51:23,625 --> 00:51:25,260
any questions

3438
00:51:25,260 --> 00:51:25,661
? One

3439
00:51:25,661 --> 00:51:27,563
of the

3440
00:51:27,563 --> 00:51:28,630
discussions that constantly

3441
00:51:28,630 --> 00:51:29,364
comes up is

3442
00:51:29,364 --> 00:51:29,898
, is

3443
00:51:29,898 --> 00:51:30,365
it fair to just

3444
00:51:30,365 --> 00:51:32,340
put all of the

3445
00:51:32,340 --> 00:51:32,868
cost of this on

3446
00:51:32,868 --> 00:51:33,969
the businesses that are right

3447
00:51:33,969 --> 00:51:34,503
up against

3448
00:51:34,503 --> 00:51:34,870
the lake because the

3449
00:51:34,870 --> 00:51:36,204
hillside

3450
00:51:36,204 --> 00:51:36,672
behind

3451
00:51:36,672 --> 00:51:38,672
Clear Lake

3452
00:51:38,674 --> 00:51:39,307
adds

3453
00:51:39,307 --> 00:51:39,608
chemicals, things like that,

3454
00:51:39,608 --> 00:51:40,943
the

3455
00:51:40,943 --> 00:51:41,709
hillside on the other side,

3456
00:51:41,709 --> 00:51:42,844
they're all coming down

3457
00:51:42,844 --> 00:51:43,379
and

3458
00:51:43,379 --> 00:51:43,912
impacting it

3459
00:51:43,912 --> 00:51:45,847
. Um, has there

3460
00:51:45,847 --> 00:51:46,515
been discussion of doing a

3461
00:51:46,515 --> 00:51:47,549
lesser amount

3462
00:51:47,549 --> 00:51:48,170
but still

3463
00:51:48,170 --> 00:51:48,584
taking

3464
00:51:48,584 --> 00:51:50,119
into consideration

3465
00:51:50,119 --> 00:51:50,586
the

3466
00:51:50,586 --> 00:51:51,287
other

3467
00:51:51,287 --> 00:51:52,254
properties that have an

3468
00:51:52,254 --> 00:51:52,987
impact

3469
00:51:52,987 --> 00:51:53,255
on the health of the lake

3470
00:51:53,255 --> 00:51:54,890
. Yeah

3471
00:51:54,890 --> 00:51:55,557
so there has been discussions

3472
00:51:55,557 --> 00:51:56,425
on this. Would not just

3473
00:51:56,425 --> 00:51:57,590
Lake

3474
00:51:57,590 --> 00:51:57,392
Management District 4, but all

3475
00:51:57,392 --> 00:51:58,561
of our

3476
00:51:58,561 --> 00:51:59,328
Lake management

3477
00:51:59,328 --> 00:51:59,728
districts as well. Uh, one of

3478
00:51:59,728 --> 00:52:00,862
the hurdles

3479
00:52:00,862 --> 00:52:01,197
that

3480
00:52:01,197 --> 00:52:02,970
we sort of run

3481
00:52:02,970 --> 00:52:04,000
into with this, of course, when

3482
00:52:04,000 --> 00:52:04,600
you expand the area of which

3483
00:52:04,600 --> 00:52:05,501
that you want to do

3484
00:52:05,501 --> 00:52:06,235
an

3485
00:52:06,235 --> 00:52:06,502
assessment on is this is a this

3486
00:52:06,502 --> 00:52:08,370
is

3487
00:52:08,370 --> 00:52:08,504
a

3488
00:52:08,504 --> 00:52:08,838
voted formation. So folks

3489
00:52:08,838 --> 00:52:10,272
would

3490
00:52:10,272 --> 00:52:10,573
be able to vote whether

3491
00:52:10,573 --> 00:52:11,107
or not

3492
00:52:11,107 --> 00:52:12,642
they are essentially

3493
00:52:12,642 --> 00:52:13,800
doing a self-tax in

3494
00:52:13,800 --> 00:52:14,410
that way

3495
00:52:14,410 --> 00:52:15,770
,

3496
00:52:15,770 --> 00:52:15,378
um, of course, depending on

3497
00:52:15,378 --> 00:52:16,980
lake

3498
00:52:16,980 --> 00:52:17,580
management districts that

3499
00:52:17,580 --> 00:52:18,280
can look differently here,

3500
00:52:18,280 --> 00:52:18,948
there and what water bodies

3501
00:52:18,948 --> 00:52:19,347
you

3502
00:52:19,347 --> 00:52:19,948
would want

3503
00:52:19,948 --> 00:52:21,651
to include would go

3504
00:52:21,651 --> 00:52:21,951
into your reformation plan as

3505
00:52:21,951 --> 00:52:23,553
well

3506
00:52:23,553 --> 00:52:24,153
. This

3507
00:52:24,153 --> 00:52:24,420
this reformation

3508
00:52:24,420 --> 00:52:25,755
plan

3509
00:52:25,755 --> 00:52:26,389
just goes over the

3510
00:52:26,389 --> 00:52:26,756
properties that are being

3511
00:52:26,756 --> 00:52:28,124
currently

3512
00:52:28,124 --> 00:52:28,725
assessed in like

3513
00:52:28,725 --> 00:52:30,693
Management District 4

3514
00:52:30,693 --> 00:52:32,394
. And

3515
00:52:32,394 --> 00:52:32,962
are

3516
00:52:32,962 --> 00:52:33,596
there most of it's just

3517
00:52:33,596 --> 00:52:34,531
swimming in that lake

3518
00:52:34,531 --> 00:52:34,964
, there's

3519
00:52:34,964 --> 00:52:35,331
very little

3520
00:52:35,331 --> 00:52:37,331
. Boat

3521
00:52:37,333 --> 00:52:37,833
activity and

3522
00:52:37,833 --> 00:52:39,736
so

3523
00:52:39,736 --> 00:52:40,170
it's anyway so the

3524
00:52:40,170 --> 00:52:40,469
, the mil

3525
00:52:40,469 --> 00:52:41,638
foil

3526
00:52:41,638 --> 00:52:42,138
is more

3527
00:52:42,138 --> 00:52:42,639
about just

3528
00:52:42,639 --> 00:52:43,640
irritating when

3529
00:52:43,640 --> 00:52:44,700
you're swimming

3530
00:52:44,700 --> 00:52:44,307
but not

3531
00:52:44,307 --> 00:52:44,741
necessarily the

3532
00:52:44,741 --> 00:52:45,942
standard one

3533
00:52:45,942 --> 00:52:46,209
where it

3534
00:52:46,209 --> 00:52:47,100
messes up

3535
00:52:47,100 --> 00:52:48,578
with props and things like that

3536
00:52:48,578 --> 00:52:49,145
but sure, and that would be

3537
00:52:49,145 --> 00:52:50,446
messing with like

3538
00:52:50,446 --> 00:52:51,381
boat props

3539
00:52:51,381 --> 00:52:53,216
might be more of a fragrant

3540
00:52:53,216 --> 00:52:53,817
water lily issue as well as

3541
00:52:53,817 --> 00:52:54,951
these fragrant water

3542
00:52:54,951 --> 00:52:55,585
lilies

3543
00:52:55,585 --> 00:52:56,886
ending up in, you know

3544
00:52:56,886 --> 00:52:57,453
,

3545
00:52:57,453 --> 00:52:58,540
people's shorelines and not

3546
00:52:58,540 --> 00:52:58,622
getting treated properly is

3547
00:52:58,622 --> 00:52:59,322
another issue we're

3548
00:52:59,322 --> 00:53:00,230
running

3549
00:53:00,230 --> 00:53:00,690
into as well. We want to make

3550
00:53:00,690 --> 00:53:01,658
sure we have enough funds

3551
00:53:01,658 --> 00:53:02,391
to

3552
00:53:02,391 --> 00:53:02,726
actually be able to do the work

3553
00:53:02,726 --> 00:53:04,361
that is

3554
00:53:04,361 --> 00:53:04,994
being proposed, um,

3555
00:53:04,994 --> 00:53:06,129
instead of, you know

3556
00:53:06,129 --> 00:53:06,829
. Only

3557
00:53:06,829 --> 00:53:07,531
having so many funds to do some

3558
00:53:07,531 --> 00:53:08,532
of the treatment each year

3559
00:53:08,532 --> 00:53:09,299
.

3560
00:53:09,299 --> 00:53:10,967
This is why we're looking at a

3561
00:53:10,967 --> 00:53:11,634
full instead, and this is the

3562
00:53:11,634 --> 00:53:12,200
first time in quite a while, so

3563
00:53:12,200 --> 00:53:13,103
it's not

3564
00:53:13,103 --> 00:53:13,770
an

3565
00:53:13,770 --> 00:53:15,238
excessive

3566
00:53:15,238 --> 00:53:16,390
increase

3567
00:53:16,390 --> 00:53:17,874
because you increase it in how

3568
00:53:17,874 --> 00:53:18,442
many years? So this was 2 end

3569
00:53:18,442 --> 00:53:19,977
of 2017 was

3570
00:53:19,977 --> 00:53:20,477
the last time we

3571
00:53:20,477 --> 00:53:20,777
did this. Um

3572
00:53:20,777 --> 00:53:22,712
, there

3573
00:53:22,712 --> 00:53:23,347
was during

3574
00:53:23,347 --> 00:53:23,713
these meetings that we have

3575
00:53:23,713 --> 00:53:24,348
annually

3576
00:53:24,348 --> 00:53:25,114
, there was outcry to

3577
00:53:25,114 --> 00:53:26,283
maybe look at this to do

3578
00:53:26,283 --> 00:53:26,683
it

3579
00:53:26,683 --> 00:53:27,170
further as

3580
00:53:27,170 --> 00:53:27,484
well. Um, if we

3581
00:53:27,484 --> 00:53:28,885
wanted to do

3582
00:53:28,885 --> 00:53:29,620
a reassessment, we

3583
00:53:29,620 --> 00:53:31,288
can do them early, um, much

3584
00:53:31,288 --> 00:53:31,988
like we're pushing to do this

3585
00:53:31,988 --> 00:53:33,824
one as well. Um, normally

3586
00:53:33,824 --> 00:53:33,982
they're set for 10 years. Um

3587
00:53:33,982 --> 00:53:34,224
,

3588
00:53:34,224 --> 00:53:35,859
this

3589
00:53:35,859 --> 00:53:36,359
time we're kind of setting

3590
00:53:36,359 --> 00:53:37,728
it up so that

3591
00:53:37,728 --> 00:53:38,362
there's an

3592
00:53:38,362 --> 00:53:38,962
increase annually so that we

3593
00:53:38,962 --> 00:53:40,290
don't end up In the

3594
00:53:40,290 --> 00:53:40,364
same boat

3595
00:53:40,364 --> 00:53:40,931
again

3596
00:53:40,931 --> 00:53:42,199
, uh, to be behind

3597
00:53:42,199 --> 00:53:42,866
. That

3598
00:53:42,866 --> 00:53:44,568
makes sense. Yes, good. Ok

3599
00:53:44,568 --> 00:53:44,935
.

3600
00:53:44,935 --> 00:53:45,369
Thank you

3601
00:53:45,369 --> 00:53:46,770
. Yes

3602
00:53:46,770 --> 00:53:47,204
, thank you very

3603
00:53:47,204 --> 00:53:47,571
much for the

3604
00:53:47,571 --> 00:53:47,838
presentation. Um,

3605
00:53:47,838 --> 00:53:48,906
as

3606
00:53:48,906 --> 00:53:49,306
you

3607
00:53:49,306 --> 00:53:49,740
mentioned

3608
00:53:49,740 --> 00:53:50,974
, the

3609
00:53:50,974 --> 00:53:51,308
rcw

3610
00:53:51,308 --> 00:53:51,875
allows a

3611
00:53:51,875 --> 00:53:52,176
10-year time period on

3612
00:53:52,176 --> 00:53:53,844
this

3613
00:53:53,844 --> 00:53:54,780
, but you can go back

3614
00:53:54,780 --> 00:53:56,780
and

3615
00:53:56,380 --> 00:53:56,814
start over redo it. Yeah, you

3616
00:53:56,814 --> 00:53:58,349
could start

3617
00:53:58,349 --> 00:53:59,183
over on your 2 if,

3618
00:53:59,183 --> 00:54:00,251
if, if it was needed for

3619
00:54:00,251 --> 00:54:00,407
that

3620
00:54:00,407 --> 00:54:01,180
.

3621
00:54:01,180 --> 00:54:01,351
And one of the issues we're

3622
00:54:01,351 --> 00:54:02,420
coming

3623
00:54:02,420 --> 00:54:02,686
up

3624
00:54:02,686 --> 00:54:02,920
with

3625
00:54:02,920 --> 00:54:03,146
is

3626
00:54:03,146 --> 00:54:03,521
the

3627
00:54:03,521 --> 00:54:04,922
regulations and

3628
00:54:04,922 --> 00:54:05,756
what chemicals

3629
00:54:05,756 --> 00:54:07,390
are available has changed over

3630
00:54:07,390 --> 00:54:07,958
the years. Can you go into that

3631
00:54:07,958 --> 00:54:09,326
a little bit? Yeah

3632
00:54:09,326 --> 00:54:10,127
, so not only

3633
00:54:10,127 --> 00:54:11,762
is, is, you know, some of the

3634
00:54:11,762 --> 00:54:12,163
chemicals become more

3635
00:54:12,163 --> 00:54:12,697
restricted

3636
00:54:12,697 --> 00:54:13,898
, more expensive, but

3637
00:54:13,898 --> 00:54:14,264
you know

3638
00:54:14,264 --> 00:54:14,899
, Washington state

3639
00:54:14,899 --> 00:54:16,100
sometimes has um it has

3640
00:54:16,100 --> 00:54:16,534
the

3641
00:54:16,534 --> 00:54:16,833
ability to

3642
00:54:16,833 --> 00:54:18,200
sell

3643
00:54:18,200 --> 00:54:18,569
certain

3644
00:54:18,569 --> 00:54:18,870
herbicides in our state and

3645
00:54:18,870 --> 00:54:20,738
then

3646
00:54:20,738 --> 00:54:21,572
uh redact them later and

3647
00:54:21,572 --> 00:54:22,774
then they become no longer able

3648
00:54:22,774 --> 00:54:23,407
to

3649
00:54:23,407 --> 00:54:23,707
sell. Um, of course, some of

3650
00:54:23,707 --> 00:54:25,143
the

3651
00:54:25,143 --> 00:54:25,676
biggest costs that

3652
00:54:25,676 --> 00:54:26,144
goes

3653
00:54:26,144 --> 00:54:27,544
into um kind

3654
00:54:27,544 --> 00:54:28,145
of doing any lake

3655
00:54:28,145 --> 00:54:29,447
work tends to be just

3656
00:54:29,447 --> 00:54:29,913
, uh, like

3657
00:54:29,913 --> 00:54:30,348
man hours of

3658
00:54:30,348 --> 00:54:31,515
doing that

3659
00:54:31,515 --> 00:54:32,160
labor

3660
00:54:32,160 --> 00:54:32,550
hours as well

3661
00:54:32,550 --> 00:54:33,984
. But we

3662
00:54:33,984 --> 00:54:34,318
do have

3663
00:54:34,318 --> 00:54:34,885
,

3664
00:54:34,885 --> 00:54:35,219
um, we do still have some

3665
00:54:35,219 --> 00:54:36,387
really

3666
00:54:36,387 --> 00:54:36,546
good options

3667
00:54:36,546 --> 00:54:36,888
for

3668
00:54:36,888 --> 00:54:37,388
treating

3669
00:54:37,388 --> 00:54:38,523
, uh, aquatic weeds

3670
00:54:38,523 --> 00:54:39,570
in,

3671
00:54:39,570 --> 00:54:39,357
in our state as

3672
00:54:39,357 --> 00:54:40,658
well

3673
00:54:40,658 --> 00:54:40,958
. Uh

3674
00:54:40,958 --> 00:54:41,626
,

3675
00:54:41,626 --> 00:54:41,893
trilopier 3 has kind of been a

3676
00:54:41,893 --> 00:54:43,600
go

3677
00:54:43,600 --> 00:54:43,628
to for

3678
00:54:43,628 --> 00:54:44,950
fragrant water lilies

3679
00:54:44,950 --> 00:54:45,530
around, um, as

3680
00:54:45,530 --> 00:54:46,264
well as some of

3681
00:54:46,264 --> 00:54:47,231
the other aquatic vegetation

3682
00:54:47,231 --> 00:54:47,831
we

3683
00:54:47,831 --> 00:54:48,365
have. Uh, one of the

3684
00:54:48,365 --> 00:54:50,201
things

3685
00:54:50,201 --> 00:54:50,902
that our contractors would like

3686
00:54:50,902 --> 00:54:52,300
to do, of course, further

3687
00:54:52,300 --> 00:54:52,637
and

3688
00:54:52,637 --> 00:54:53,370
have suggested doing for next

3689
00:54:53,370 --> 00:54:54,239
treatment

3690
00:54:54,239 --> 00:54:54,905
should we

3691
00:54:54,905 --> 00:54:55,540
ever have a

3692
00:54:55,540 --> 00:54:56,473
larger assessment

3693
00:54:56,473 --> 00:54:57,420
would

3694
00:54:57,420 --> 00:54:57,274
be

3695
00:54:57,274 --> 00:54:57,809
to

3696
00:54:57,809 --> 00:54:58,877
um include that

3697
00:54:58,877 --> 00:54:59,544
early spring

3698
00:54:59,544 --> 00:55:00,110
treatment, which would be a

3699
00:55:00,110 --> 00:55:01,379
different herbicide

3700
00:55:01,379 --> 00:55:01,846
, um, that's

3701
00:55:01,846 --> 00:55:02,147
more aimed at

3702
00:55:02,147 --> 00:55:03,281
Plants

3703
00:55:03,281 --> 00:55:03,882
that are

3704
00:55:03,882 --> 00:55:04,249
getting, that are in their

3705
00:55:04,249 --> 00:55:05,483
seedling

3706
00:55:05,483 --> 00:55:06,510
phase that are are

3707
00:55:06,510 --> 00:55:06,284
ready to sprout up

3708
00:55:06,284 --> 00:55:07,652
. So

3709
00:55:07,652 --> 00:55:08,386
kind of

3710
00:55:08,386 --> 00:55:09,200
coming at it with two-pronged

3711
00:55:09,200 --> 00:55:10,880
attack instead of just

3712
00:55:10,880 --> 00:55:10,288
the

3713
00:55:10,288 --> 00:55:10,822
one

3714
00:55:10,822 --> 00:55:12,457
summer application

3715
00:55:12,457 --> 00:55:13,191
. And that's

3716
00:55:13,191 --> 00:55:13,724
not available if you don't have

3717
00:55:13,724 --> 00:55:14,559
the funds to do

3718
00:55:14,559 --> 00:55:15,260
it

3719
00:55:15,260 --> 00:55:16,694
, so I

3720
00:55:16,694 --> 00:55:17,429
know

3721
00:55:17,429 --> 00:55:17,862
from agricultural standpoint,

3722
00:55:17,862 --> 00:55:19,630
it's always

3723
00:55:19,630 --> 00:55:19,297
better

3724
00:55:19,297 --> 00:55:19,598
to

3725
00:55:19,598 --> 00:55:20,300
treat the

3726
00:55:20,300 --> 00:55:21,600
weeds when

3727
00:55:21,600 --> 00:55:22,300
they're young and

3728
00:55:22,300 --> 00:55:23,434
small. They're more

3729
00:55:23,434 --> 00:55:24,690
vulnerable

3730
00:55:24,690 --> 00:55:24,703
to. Sure, and of course it's

3731
00:55:24,703 --> 00:55:25,704
different for each one

3732
00:55:25,704 --> 00:55:26,710
. We

3733
00:55:26,710 --> 00:55:26,938
have

3734
00:55:26,938 --> 00:55:28,774
180 some odd noxious weeds here

3735
00:55:28,774 --> 00:55:30,142
in Sketchet, you know, has

3736
00:55:30,142 --> 00:55:30,976
that

3737
00:55:30,976 --> 00:55:31,676
different requirements and

3738
00:55:31,676 --> 00:55:32,577
control efforts that work

3739
00:55:32,577 --> 00:55:33,178
better

3740
00:55:33,178 --> 00:55:33,378
, so

3741
00:55:33,378 --> 00:55:35,800
I

3742
00:55:35,800 --> 00:55:35,380
was surprised that

3743
00:55:35,380 --> 00:55:37,249
only

3744
00:55:37,249 --> 00:55:37,883
8 ballots, and am I

3745
00:55:37,883 --> 00:55:39,418
reading this correctly

3746
00:55:39,418 --> 00:55:39,684
? There's

3747
00:55:39,684 --> 00:55:41,684
um

3748
00:55:43,655 --> 00:55:44,123
Almost

3749
00:55:44,123 --> 00:55:44,489
45 different

3750
00:55:44,489 --> 00:55:44,923
property

3751
00:55:44,923 --> 00:55:46,492
owners yeah

3752
00:55:46,492 --> 00:55:47,590
, 48, uh, different

3753
00:55:47,590 --> 00:55:48,360
property owners. We

3754
00:55:48,360 --> 00:55:48,727
received 8.

3755
00:55:48,727 --> 00:55:49,940
When we

3756
00:55:49,940 --> 00:55:50,595
initially

3757
00:55:50,595 --> 00:55:50,995
did

3758
00:55:50,995 --> 00:55:51,764
this

3759
00:55:51,764 --> 00:55:52,664
reformation effort last year

3760
00:55:52,664 --> 00:55:53,499
, I

3761
00:55:53,499 --> 00:55:53,932
believe I received around 9 or

3762
00:55:53,932 --> 00:55:55,867
10 ballots

3763
00:55:55,867 --> 00:55:56,234
. So whether that's

3764
00:55:56,234 --> 00:55:57,669
just the

3765
00:55:57,669 --> 00:55:58,304
case of that's how our

3766
00:55:58,304 --> 00:55:59,470
normal amounts for this

3767
00:55:59,470 --> 00:56:00,239
lake

3768
00:56:00,239 --> 00:56:01,774
were low. Um, I can't say

3769
00:56:01,774 --> 00:56:02,730
, but

3770
00:56:02,730 --> 00:56:02,507
,

3771
00:56:02,507 --> 00:56:02,908
um, yeah, it

3772
00:56:02,908 --> 00:56:03,909
just remind

3773
00:56:03,909 --> 00:56:04,643
me

3774
00:56:04,643 --> 00:56:05,440
again how those ballots are

3775
00:56:05,440 --> 00:56:06,344
sent out or

3776
00:56:06,344 --> 00:56:07,460
how that is done.

3777
00:56:07,460 --> 00:56:08,446
Sure, so I actually have

3778
00:56:08,446 --> 00:56:09,281
an

3779
00:56:09,281 --> 00:56:09,648
example ballot, um, that this

3780
00:56:09,648 --> 00:56:11,617
was just

3781
00:56:11,617 --> 00:56:12,151
a copy of what is

3782
00:56:12,151 --> 00:56:13,519
exactly sent out

3783
00:56:13,519 --> 00:56:14,120
to landowners,

3784
00:56:14,120 --> 00:56:14,620
um, and anybody that's feel

3785
00:56:14,620 --> 00:56:15,488
free to take a

3786
00:56:15,488 --> 00:56:16,540
look at this if

3787
00:56:16,540 --> 00:56:17,723
they want to, but

3788
00:56:17,723 --> 00:56:18,391
, um, what's

3789
00:56:18,391 --> 00:56:18,891
included in that, of course, is

3790
00:56:18,891 --> 00:56:20,250
the ballot. The

3791
00:56:20,250 --> 00:56:20,693
ballots are

3792
00:56:20,693 --> 00:56:22,561
color coded based on the

3793
00:56:22,561 --> 00:56:23,229
different property juris or the

3794
00:56:23,229 --> 00:56:23,562
different properties which they

3795
00:56:23,562 --> 00:56:24,864
might

3796
00:56:24,864 --> 00:56:25,364
have under types of types

3797
00:56:25,364 --> 00:56:26,599
Property

3798
00:56:26,599 --> 00:56:27,320
they have

3799
00:56:27,320 --> 00:56:28,768
. Yes

3800
00:56:28,768 --> 00:56:29,535
, um, a

3801
00:56:29,535 --> 00:56:31,337
security envelope. There are

3802
00:56:31,337 --> 00:56:32,271
ballot instructions as

3803
00:56:32,271 --> 00:56:33,139
resolution for folks

3804
00:56:33,139 --> 00:56:33,506
to go

3805
00:56:33,506 --> 00:56:33,973
through

3806
00:56:33,973 --> 00:56:34,206
as well. Um

3807
00:56:34,206 --> 00:56:34,472
, it's part

3808
00:56:34,472 --> 00:56:35,674
of

3809
00:56:35,674 --> 00:56:36,375
the rcw

3810
00:56:36,375 --> 00:56:36,809
, there's also

3811
00:56:36,809 --> 00:56:38,211
requirements

3812
00:56:38,211 --> 00:56:38,978
for it to be

3813
00:56:38,978 --> 00:56:40,450
notarized as well

3814
00:56:40,450 --> 00:56:40,209
by

3815
00:56:40,209 --> 00:56:40,780
the

3816
00:56:40,780 --> 00:56:41,113
landowner, as well as

3817
00:56:41,113 --> 00:56:42,414
have the

3818
00:56:42,414 --> 00:56:43,116
,

3819
00:56:43,116 --> 00:56:43,715
the assessment number that they

3820
00:56:43,715 --> 00:56:44,851
would be paying on

3821
00:56:44,851 --> 00:56:45,180
it as well

3822
00:56:45,180 --> 00:56:45,350
.

3823
00:56:45,350 --> 00:56:47,200
So. So

3824
00:56:47,200 --> 00:56:47,552
, the landowner has to go

3825
00:56:47,552 --> 00:56:49,222
to a notary to

3826
00:56:49,222 --> 00:56:49,955
get it, just

3827
00:56:49,955 --> 00:56:50,423
signature, just a signature on

3828
00:56:50,423 --> 00:56:51,957
it from them

3829
00:56:51,957 --> 00:56:52,392
. They have to go

3830
00:56:52,392 --> 00:56:53,927
to a notary

3831
00:56:53,927 --> 00:56:54,359
and get their

3832
00:56:54,359 --> 00:56:55,794
signature

3833
00:56:55,794 --> 00:56:56,462
on the ballot.

3834
00:56:56,462 --> 00:56:56,930
There's a, there's a place for

3835
00:56:56,930 --> 00:56:58,970
the landowner

3836
00:56:58,970 --> 00:56:58,598
to

3837
00:56:58,598 --> 00:56:58,830
sign

3838
00:56:58,830 --> 00:56:59,650
on

3839
00:56:59,650 --> 00:57:00,867
the

3840
00:57:00,867 --> 00:57:01,534
secrecy envelope, so they don't

3841
00:57:01,534 --> 00:57:01,801
need to, they can just sign it

3842
00:57:01,801 --> 00:57:02,869
as

3843
00:57:02,869 --> 00:57:03,636
the landowner. Yeah, they

3844
00:57:03,636 --> 00:57:04,904
don't have to go to annuity

3845
00:57:04,904 --> 00:57:05,338
, so

3846
00:57:05,338 --> 00:57:05,738
I'm getting

3847
00:57:05,738 --> 00:57:06,710
at it's mailed to

3848
00:57:06,710 --> 00:57:07,406
their

3849
00:57:07,406 --> 00:57:07,607
kitchen table

3850
00:57:07,607 --> 00:57:08,208
. They sat

3851
00:57:08,208 --> 00:57:09,475
their kitchen table

3852
00:57:09,475 --> 00:57:10,143
. They just

3853
00:57:10,143 --> 00:57:10,510
have to fill it out and put it

3854
00:57:10,510 --> 00:57:11,578
back in

3855
00:57:11,578 --> 00:57:11,878
the

3856
00:57:11,878 --> 00:57:12,212
mail

3857
00:57:12,212 --> 00:57:12,812
, correct, and

3858
00:57:12,812 --> 00:57:13,790
you come back and you count

3859
00:57:13,790 --> 00:57:14,147
them

3860
00:57:14,147 --> 00:57:16,147
and so forth

3861
00:57:16,183 --> 00:57:16,916
. I'm just the

3862
00:57:16,916 --> 00:57:17,284
turnout seemed very low to me,

3863
00:57:17,284 --> 00:57:18,985
so yeah

3864
00:57:18,985 --> 00:57:19,452
. But

3865
00:57:19,452 --> 00:57:21,200
that's generally

3866
00:57:21,200 --> 00:57:21,288
what you've been seeing

3867
00:57:21,288 --> 00:57:21,458
. Yeah

3868
00:57:21,458 --> 00:57:21,687
,

3869
00:57:21,687 --> 00:57:23,189
that's

3870
00:57:23,189 --> 00:57:23,690
, that's what, and, and I

3871
00:57:23,690 --> 00:57:25,690
took over this

3872
00:57:25,959 --> 00:57:27,260
, uh, in 2020

3873
00:57:27,260 --> 00:57:27,861
,

3874
00:57:27,861 --> 00:57:28,194
2025, early 2025

3875
00:57:28,194 --> 00:57:29,463
. So those

3876
00:57:29,463 --> 00:57:30,230
are

3877
00:57:30,230 --> 00:57:31,864
the only two I have seen, um

3878
00:57:31,864 --> 00:57:32,432
.

3879
00:57:32,432 --> 00:57:32,899
So yeah, that would be the

3880
00:57:32,899 --> 00:57:34,468
normal for me

3881
00:57:34,468 --> 00:57:34,768
. Ok

3882
00:57:34,768 --> 00:57:35,340
, any

3883
00:57:35,340 --> 00:57:36,570
other

3884
00:57:36,570 --> 00:57:37,137
questions

3885
00:57:37,137 --> 00:57:38,371
? That's it. We

3886
00:57:38,371 --> 00:57:39,105
have

3887
00:57:39,105 --> 00:57:41,700
several that signed up for

3888
00:57:41,700 --> 00:57:41,675
.

3889
00:57:41,675 --> 00:57:41,942
Public comment on this hearing.

3890
00:57:41,942 --> 00:57:43,644
So

3891
00:57:43,644 --> 00:57:43,944
this is a public hearing, so

3892
00:57:43,944 --> 00:57:45,512
we

3893
00:57:45,512 --> 00:57:45,912
will

3894
00:57:45,912 --> 00:57:46,179
accept the

3895
00:57:46,179 --> 00:57:47,780
names

3896
00:57:47,780 --> 00:57:47,937
here

3897
00:57:47,937 --> 00:57:48,649
.

3898
00:57:48,649 --> 00:57:50,316
Stan Buchanan, if you'd like to

3899
00:57:50,316 --> 00:57:50,551
step up and put your feet

3900
00:57:50,551 --> 00:57:52,551
on

3901
00:57:52,586 --> 00:57:53,530
the yellow footprints and

3902
00:57:53,530 --> 00:57:54,721
talking to the

3903
00:57:54,721 --> 00:57:54,954
microphones and

3904
00:57:54,954 --> 00:57:55,389
.

3905
00:57:55,389 --> 00:57:57,291
Right here

3906
00:57:57,291 --> 00:57:59,260
. Thanks, Dan

3907
00:57:59,260 --> 00:57:59,592
.

3908
00:57:59,592 --> 00:58:00,930
There's footprints on the

3909
00:58:00,930 --> 00:58:01,161
ground there and

3910
00:58:01,161 --> 00:58:02,290
you stand on

3911
00:58:02,290 --> 00:58:02,462
the footprints and the mics are

3912
00:58:02,462 --> 00:58:03,497
all set, so

3913
00:58:03,497 --> 00:58:03,796
you just have to

3914
00:58:03,796 --> 00:58:05,796
talk

3915
00:58:06,533 --> 00:58:07,935
. Ok

3916
00:58:07,935 --> 00:58:08,602
. Ok

3917
00:58:08,602 --> 00:58:10,700
, I

3918
00:58:10,700 --> 00:58:10,371
, I

3919
00:58:10,371 --> 00:58:10,837
live just

3920
00:58:10,837 --> 00:58:11,338
east of

3921
00:58:11,338 --> 00:58:12,840
the boat launch

3922
00:58:12,840 --> 00:58:13,720
. First

3923
00:58:13,720 --> 00:58:13,540
,

3924
00:58:13,540 --> 00:58:15,750
uh, dock east

3925
00:58:15,750 --> 00:58:17,750
. Well

3926
00:58:17,111 --> 00:58:17,411
, To start

3927
00:58:17,411 --> 00:58:19,411
with

3928
00:58:19,580 --> 00:58:19,880
. There wasnt any

3929
00:58:19,880 --> 00:58:20,181
work done

3930
00:58:20,181 --> 00:58:21,448
there

3931
00:58:21,448 --> 00:58:21,749
. It

3932
00:58:21,749 --> 00:58:22,249
never

3933
00:58:22,249 --> 00:58:23,951
killed a single

3934
00:58:23,951 --> 00:58:24,284
plant, whatever they did

3935
00:58:24,284 --> 00:58:24,584
. Not

3936
00:58:24,584 --> 00:58:26,584
one

3937
00:58:26,620 --> 00:58:26,987
. So I

3938
00:58:26,987 --> 00:58:28,154
talked to

3939
00:58:28,154 --> 00:58:28,823
my neighbor

3940
00:58:28,823 --> 00:58:29,423
He says, well, I didn't kill

3941
00:58:29,423 --> 00:58:31,325
any of mine either

3942
00:58:31,325 --> 00:58:32,660
. I

3943
00:58:32,660 --> 00:58:33,527
talked to

3944
00:58:33,527 --> 00:58:35,362
Joel, which is my son here

3945
00:58:35,362 --> 00:58:36,130
.

3946
00:58:36,130 --> 00:58:39,267
Didn't kill any of his either

3947
00:58:39,267 --> 00:58:39,533
.

3948
00:58:39,533 --> 00:58:40,401
So

3949
00:58:40,401 --> 00:58:40,701
, There's something wrong

3950
00:58:40,701 --> 00:58:42,303
with

3951
00:58:42,303 --> 00:58:42,503
the system, and I

3952
00:58:42,503 --> 00:58:42,770
, I came

3953
00:58:42,770 --> 00:58:44,172
in

3954
00:58:44,172 --> 00:58:44,405
and talked to Avon

3955
00:58:44,405 --> 00:58:44,872
about it,

3956
00:58:44,872 --> 00:58:46,174
and I brought

3957
00:58:46,174 --> 00:58:46,674
some pictures

3958
00:58:46,674 --> 00:58:46,974
.

3959
00:58:46,974 --> 00:58:48,409
And

3960
00:58:48,409 --> 00:58:48,943
he said he

3961
00:58:48,943 --> 00:58:49,510
didn't even

3962
00:58:49,510 --> 00:58:51,278
particularly want to

3963
00:58:51,278 --> 00:58:51,646
see

3964
00:58:51,646 --> 00:58:52,312
him

3965
00:58:52,312 --> 00:58:52,680
because he says they wouldn't

3966
00:58:52,680 --> 00:58:53,140
hold up

3967
00:58:53,140 --> 00:58:53,814
in

3968
00:58:53,814 --> 00:58:54,114
court anyway because

3969
00:58:54,114 --> 00:58:55,850
the

3970
00:58:55,850 --> 00:58:57,218
He said he could have

3971
00:58:57,218 --> 00:58:57,552
been

3972
00:58:57,552 --> 00:58:57,819
taken

3973
00:58:57,819 --> 00:58:58,520
last

3974
00:58:58,520 --> 00:59:00,210
year or I said

3975
00:59:00,210 --> 00:59:00,822
. Well

3976
00:59:00,822 --> 00:59:02,457
why don't you come out and take

3977
00:59:02,457 --> 00:59:03,191
a look yourself? I just took

3978
00:59:03,191 --> 00:59:04,492
them the day before yesterday

3979
00:59:04,492 --> 00:59:05,260
.

3980
00:59:05,260 --> 00:59:06,928
Not our business

3981
00:59:06,928 --> 00:59:07,840
. I

3982
00:59:07,840 --> 00:59:07,562
think

3983
00:59:07,562 --> 00:59:09,562
that's kind of

3984
00:59:10,931 --> 00:59:11,198
unfair

3985
00:59:11,198 --> 00:59:11,766
to the

3986
00:59:11,766 --> 00:59:13,334
we've got no

3987
00:59:13,334 --> 00:59:13,668
oversight in this

3988
00:59:13,668 --> 00:59:13,968
thing

3989
00:59:13,968 --> 00:59:15,269
at

3990
00:59:15,269 --> 00:59:15,737
all

3991
00:59:15,737 --> 00:59:16,471
, and this isn't

3992
00:59:16,471 --> 00:59:17,972
the first year. They didn't

3993
00:59:17,972 --> 00:59:18,672
have me, they didn't do

3994
00:59:18,672 --> 00:59:20,709
anything last year either

3995
00:59:20,709 --> 00:59:21,900
. And

3996
00:59:21,900 --> 00:59:22,209
the

3997
00:59:22,209 --> 00:59:22,844
next

3998
00:59:22,844 --> 00:59:23,311
thing is it's always

3999
00:59:23,311 --> 00:59:24,445
done too

4000
00:59:24,445 --> 00:59:24,713
late

4001
00:59:24,713 --> 00:59:24,980
. The

4002
00:59:24,980 --> 00:59:25,379
season is

4003
00:59:25,379 --> 00:59:27,282
half over

4004
00:59:27,282 --> 00:59:27,615
. Before they

4005
00:59:27,615 --> 00:59:29,170
even do

4006
00:59:29,170 --> 00:59:31,170
the job

4007
00:59:31,352 --> 00:59:31,786
. And

4008
00:59:31,786 --> 00:59:32,152
I don't understand

4009
00:59:32,152 --> 00:59:33,554
why only

4010
00:59:33,554 --> 00:59:33,788
8 people

4011
00:59:33,788 --> 00:59:34,122
would have

4012
00:59:34,122 --> 00:59:36,122
voted

4013
00:59:36,124 --> 00:59:36,524
. That's beyond me

4014
00:59:36,524 --> 00:59:38,524
. Um

4015
00:59:40,940 --> 00:59:40,729
,

4016
00:59:40,729 --> 00:59:42,664
And I I just heard

4017
00:59:42,664 --> 00:59:43,164
. A little

4018
00:59:43,164 --> 00:59:44,598
bit through the

4019
00:59:44,598 --> 00:59:44,900
grapevine

4020
00:59:44,900 --> 00:59:45,633
, it's

4021
00:59:45,633 --> 00:59:47,235
actually some people didn't

4022
00:59:47,235 --> 00:59:47,903
even get charged

4023
00:59:47,903 --> 00:59:49,137
. Now

4024
00:59:49,137 --> 00:59:49,771
I don't

4025
00:59:49,771 --> 00:59:50,400
know. That's just a

4026
00:59:50,400 --> 00:59:50,305
hearsay so

4027
00:59:50,305 --> 00:59:51,807
far

4028
00:59:51,807 --> 00:59:52,174
, but I would like to look

4029
00:59:52,174 --> 00:59:54,174
into it

4030
00:59:54,676 --> 00:59:56,676
. Um

4031
00:59:56,878 --> 00:59:58,480
, But I'm

4032
00:59:58,480 --> 00:59:59,147
not

4033
00:59:59,147 --> 00:59:59,448
satisfied with the way this has

4034
00:59:59,448 --> 01:00:00,449
gone

4035
01:00:00,449 --> 01:00:00,883
. I

4036
01:00:00,883 --> 01:00:01,183
complained last year

4037
01:00:01,183 --> 01:00:01,550
too

4038
01:00:01,550 --> 01:00:03,252
. I'm

4039
01:00:03,252 --> 01:00:04,887
the one who voted no

4040
01:00:04,887 --> 01:00:05,454
.

4041
01:00:05,454 --> 01:00:05,821
Because I didn't see any

4042
01:00:05,821 --> 01:00:07,755
results

4043
01:00:07,755 --> 01:00:09,755
. And um

4044
01:00:11,760 --> 01:00:12,161
, As

4045
01:00:12,161 --> 01:00:12,316
far

4046
01:00:12,316 --> 01:00:12,728
as

4047
01:00:12,728 --> 01:00:14,463
upping the fee

4048
01:00:14,463 --> 01:00:14,996
, that's doubled.

4049
01:00:14,996 --> 01:00:16,164
It's not just a

4050
01:00:16,164 --> 01:00:16,665
little bit.

4051
01:00:16,665 --> 01:00:18,665
They doubled it

4052
01:00:19,134 --> 01:00:19,368
. And

4053
01:00:19,368 --> 01:00:19,634
uh how do

4054
01:00:19,634 --> 01:00:20,869
we

4055
01:00:20,869 --> 01:00:21,437
know we're going to get

4056
01:00:21,437 --> 01:00:23,437
anything next year

4057
01:00:23,505 --> 01:00:24,500
? They could

4058
01:00:24,500 --> 01:00:25,407
have been just

4059
01:00:25,407 --> 01:00:26,208
spraying water

4060
01:00:26,208 --> 01:00:28,770
around out there as far as I

4061
01:00:28,770 --> 01:00:28,510
know, and, and what do they

4062
01:00:28,510 --> 01:00:29,912
spray

4063
01:00:29,912 --> 01:00:30,212
anyway? Are

4064
01:00:30,212 --> 01:00:30,880
they spraying

4065
01:00:30,880 --> 01:00:31,881
all of the lake or are

4066
01:00:31,881 --> 01:00:32,581
they

4067
01:00:32,581 --> 01:00:32,882
just spraying in front of each

4068
01:00:32,882 --> 01:00:34,882
duck

4069
01:00:35,451 --> 01:00:36,485
. Because there's

4070
01:00:36,485 --> 01:00:37,553
some docs

4071
01:00:37,553 --> 01:00:38,753
There's no water

4072
01:00:38,753 --> 01:00:39,321
lilies ever

4073
01:00:39,321 --> 01:00:39,622
grow there because it's too

4074
01:00:39,622 --> 01:00:40,790
deep

4075
01:00:40,790 --> 01:00:41,490
or

4076
01:00:41,490 --> 01:00:42,157
it's, it just isn't in

4077
01:00:42,157 --> 01:00:43,825
the environment of it

4078
01:00:43,825 --> 01:00:45,825
. And

4079
01:00:45,961 --> 01:00:47,596
other ducks, it looks like

4080
01:00:47,596 --> 01:00:48,230
they

4081
01:00:48,230 --> 01:00:48,664
just think that the weeds love

4082
01:00:48,664 --> 01:00:50,664
it, I guess

4083
01:00:50,800 --> 01:00:52,268
. But

4084
01:00:52,268 --> 01:00:52,702
um there's no

4085
01:00:52,702 --> 01:00:53,235
spent spray

4086
01:00:53,235 --> 01:00:54,236
in the all of

4087
01:00:54,236 --> 01:00:54,537
the

4088
01:00:54,537 --> 01:00:55,338
lake

4089
01:00:55,338 --> 01:00:56,706
. When only a few

4090
01:00:56,706 --> 01:00:57,730
people

4091
01:00:57,730 --> 01:00:58,907
want it

4092
01:00:58,907 --> 01:00:59,274
. Some

4093
01:00:59,274 --> 01:00:59,675
people don't even

4094
01:00:59,675 --> 01:00:59,975
want their

4095
01:00:59,975 --> 01:01:01,344
legs

4096
01:01:01,344 --> 01:01:01,505
rayed

4097
01:01:01,505 --> 01:01:02,178
. They

4098
01:01:02,178 --> 01:01:02,444
wanted to leave it just like it

4099
01:01:02,444 --> 01:01:04,146
is

4100
01:01:04,146 --> 01:01:06,146
. And uh

4101
01:01:06,548 --> 01:01:07,984
i wouldn't

4102
01:01:07,984 --> 01:01:08,717
mind this

4103
01:01:08,717 --> 01:01:08,984
the spray around the

4104
01:01:08,984 --> 01:01:10,118
docks

4105
01:01:10,118 --> 01:01:10,853
, but

4106
01:01:10,853 --> 01:01:12,354
it's no good the way it is

4107
01:01:12,354 --> 01:01:13,220
.

4108
01:01:13,220 --> 01:01:13,623
Because that does not work and

4109
01:01:13,623 --> 01:01:14,857
it hasn't worked

4110
01:01:14,857 --> 01:01:15,525
for years.

4111
01:01:15,525 --> 01:01:17,925
I've been there 8 years

4112
01:01:19,194 --> 01:01:19,695
. Thank

4113
01:01:19,695 --> 01:01:20,195
you very much

4114
01:01:20,195 --> 01:01:22,195
. That's 3 minutes

4115
01:01:24,000 --> 01:01:26,400
Next is Joel began

4116
01:01:31,341 --> 01:01:32,742
. Hey

4117
01:01:32,742 --> 01:01:33,309
, I'm,

4118
01:01:33,309 --> 01:01:35,244
I'm Joel Buchanan

4119
01:01:35,244 --> 01:01:35,544
. And I want

4120
01:01:35,544 --> 01:01:36,179
to

4121
01:01:36,179 --> 01:01:37,447
echo everything that my

4122
01:01:37,447 --> 01:01:37,747
dad

4123
01:01:37,747 --> 01:01:38,114
said

4124
01:01:38,114 --> 01:01:39,382
, um, I

4125
01:01:39,382 --> 01:01:39,615
want

4126
01:01:39,615 --> 01:01:39,915
to

4127
01:01:39,915 --> 01:01:40,183
attest

4128
01:01:40,183 --> 01:01:40,617
that

4129
01:01:40,617 --> 01:01:42,520
the work

4130
01:01:42,520 --> 01:01:42,352
that's been done on

4131
01:01:42,352 --> 01:01:42,619
the

4132
01:01:42,619 --> 01:01:42,852
lake

4133
01:01:42,852 --> 01:01:43,987
was

4134
01:01:43,987 --> 01:01:44,187
not

4135
01:01:44,187 --> 01:01:44,688
effective

4136
01:01:44,688 --> 01:01:46,155
around my

4137
01:01:46,155 --> 01:01:46,756
portion

4138
01:01:46,756 --> 01:01:47,157
, um, property

4139
01:01:47,157 --> 01:01:48,357
and then

4140
01:01:48,357 --> 01:01:48,692
I

4141
01:01:48,692 --> 01:01:49,250
also

4142
01:01:49,250 --> 01:01:49,726
want to address

4143
01:01:49,726 --> 01:01:51,127
a couple of things like

4144
01:01:51,127 --> 01:01:51,728
, uh,

4145
01:01:51,728 --> 01:01:52,995
Commissioner Browning

4146
01:01:52,995 --> 01:01:53,296
said

4147
01:01:53,296 --> 01:01:53,864
, um,

4148
01:01:53,864 --> 01:01:54,263
the propellers are fairly

4149
01:01:54,263 --> 01:01:55,232
important

4150
01:01:55,232 --> 01:01:55,932
. It

4151
01:01:55,932 --> 01:01:57,934
is a, a, um

4152
01:01:57,934 --> 01:01:58,468
, a

4153
01:01:58,468 --> 01:01:59,970
boating lake

4154
01:01:59,970 --> 01:02:00,670
, and so it's not

4155
01:02:00,670 --> 01:02:02,500
just swimming around the

4156
01:02:02,500 --> 01:02:02,839
uh the

4157
01:02:02,839 --> 01:02:03,240
edges and the docks, however,

4158
01:02:03,240 --> 01:02:04,374
the docks

4159
01:02:04,374 --> 01:02:04,542
are the

4160
01:02:04,542 --> 01:02:05,175
most

4161
01:02:05,175 --> 01:02:05,609
important because that's how we

4162
01:02:05,609 --> 01:02:07,110
all access

4163
01:02:07,110 --> 01:02:07,444
the lake is from our

4164
01:02:07,444 --> 01:02:08,712
own

4165
01:02:08,712 --> 01:02:09,780
docks

4166
01:02:09,780 --> 01:02:11,780
and uh um

4167
01:02:11,314 --> 01:02:12,820
. My feeling

4168
01:02:12,820 --> 01:02:13,950
along with most of the other

4169
01:02:13,950 --> 01:02:14,284
property owners on the

4170
01:02:14,284 --> 01:02:14,852
lake is

4171
01:02:14,852 --> 01:02:15,619
the boat launch

4172
01:02:15,619 --> 01:02:15,953
is

4173
01:02:15,953 --> 01:02:16,687
the least

4174
01:02:16,687 --> 01:02:17,920
important part

4175
01:02:17,920 --> 01:02:18,188
of

4176
01:02:18,188 --> 01:02:18,856
the

4177
01:02:18,856 --> 01:02:20,856
um lake

4178
01:02:21,524 --> 01:02:22,726
uh uh management. We were kind

4179
01:02:22,726 --> 01:02:23,393
of proud of being a private

4180
01:02:23,393 --> 01:02:24,761
lake. We're kind of, we

4181
01:02:24,761 --> 01:02:25,563
kind of

4182
01:02:25,563 --> 01:02:26,730
like having not the

4183
01:02:26,730 --> 01:02:26,905
best

4184
01:02:26,905 --> 01:02:27,531
boat

4185
01:02:27,531 --> 01:02:27,898
launch because then other

4186
01:02:27,898 --> 01:02:29,990
people

4187
01:02:29,990 --> 01:02:29,566
from

4188
01:02:29,566 --> 01:02:30,267
uh other lakes

4189
01:02:30,267 --> 01:02:31,268
don't come there and it

4190
01:02:31,268 --> 01:02:32,690
stays

4191
01:02:32,690 --> 01:02:33,604
kind of a private lake that way

4192
01:02:33,604 --> 01:02:34,504
Um

4193
01:02:34,504 --> 01:02:35,838
The thing about

4194
01:02:35,838 --> 01:02:37,838
the fees

4195
01:02:38,309 --> 01:02:38,809
. Uh

4196
01:02:38,809 --> 01:02:40,678
my dad

4197
01:02:40,678 --> 01:02:41,445
said

4198
01:02:41,445 --> 01:02:42,479
that um it's

4199
01:02:42,479 --> 01:02:43,790
going

4200
01:02:43,790 --> 01:02:43,581
up quite a bit, and

4201
01:02:43,581 --> 01:02:45,249
it is. And

4202
01:02:45,249 --> 01:02:45,850
if, if it

4203
01:02:45,850 --> 01:02:47,384
does continue to

4204
01:02:47,384 --> 01:02:48,520
raise in the price, I don't

4205
01:02:48,520 --> 01:02:48,318
know that it's worth it unless

4206
01:02:48,318 --> 01:02:49,319
we

4207
01:02:49,319 --> 01:02:49,954
get

4208
01:02:49,954 --> 01:02:51,954
a better, um

4209
01:02:52,389 --> 01:02:52,690
, End result

4210
01:02:52,690 --> 01:02:53,824
for

4211
01:02:53,824 --> 01:02:54,392
us to

4212
01:02:54,392 --> 01:02:54,825
be assessed at the

4213
01:02:54,825 --> 01:02:56,226
end of the

4214
01:02:56,226 --> 01:02:56,960

4305
01:04:13,304 --> 01:04:13,805
hold annual meetings

4306
01:04:13,805 --> 01:04:14,973
at the beginning

4307
01:04:14,973 --> 01:04:15,128

01:04:15,128 --> 01:04:15,674

at this last

4343
01:04:43,680 --> 01:04:44,336

little lower turnout,

4353
01:04:51,911 --> 01:04:53,450
um, but we do have

4354
01:04:53,450 --> 01:04:53,712
those annual

4355
01:04:53,712 --> 01:04:54,180
meetings every year, and that's

4356
01:04:54,180 --> 01:04:55,447
where we sit

4357
01:04:55,447 --> 01:04:56,114
down with the

4358
01:04:56,114 --> 01:04:56,272

4363
01:04:58,617 --> 01:04:59,952
year of

4364
01:04:59,952 --> 01:05:00,786
what treatments were

4365
01:05:00,786 --> 01:05:02,454
done, when they were done, what

4366
01:05:02,454 --> 01:05:02,754
survey work was

4367
01:05:02,754 --> 01:05:03,890

was done and

4371
01:05:05,570 --> 01:05:06,792
then we

4372
01:05:06,792 --> 01:05:07,460
. Listen to the

4373
01:05:07,460 --> 01:05:07,893
community on what worked, what

4374
01:05:07,893 --> 01:05:09,294
didn't work

4375
01:05:09,294 --> 01:05:10,290
, and our plans for

4376
01:05:10,290 --> 01:05:11,364
next year before

4377
01:05:11,364 --> 01:05:11,764
then we go out

4378
01:05:11,764 --> 01:05:12,264
to bid for

4379
01:05:12,264 --> 01:05:13,699
a new contractor

4380
01:05:13,699 --> 01:05:14,233
. Um

4381
01:05:14,233 --> 01:05:14,500
in recent

4382
01:05:14,500 --> 01:05:16,500
years

4383
01:05:16,802 --> 01:05:18,337
, our contractor

4384
01:05:18,337 --> 01:05:18,504
has been for 2 years, so

4385
01:05:18,504 --> 01:05:19,710
that's

4386
01:05:19,710 --> 01:05:20,273
why last year and

4387
01:05:20,273 --> 01:05:20,573
this year was

4388
01:05:20,573 --> 01:05:21,240

4390
01:05:22,742 --> 01:05:23,441
. This coming

4391
01:05:23,441 --> 01:05:24,510
spring after that meeting

4392
01:05:24,510 --> 01:05:25,111
, and

4393
01:05:25,111 --> 01:05:25,644
we hear from the residents,

4394
01:05:25,644 --> 01:05:27,130

2-year

4397
01:05:27,847 --> 01:05:29,214
contract and so we do a

4398
01:05:29,214 --> 01:05:29,815
public

4399
01:05:29,815 --> 01:05:31,317
process for bidding

4400
01:05:31,317 --> 01:05:32,117
whatever

4401
01:05:32,117 --> 01:05:32,279
contractors are able to put

4402
01:05:32,279 --> 01:05:32,652
in

4403
01:05:32,652 --> 01:05:33,886
those bids

4404
01:05:33,886 --> 01:05:34,486
, we

4405
01:05:34,486 --> 01:05:34,821
then send those

4406
01:05:34,821 --> 01:05:35,955
back out

4407
01:05:35,955 --> 01:05:36,355
to

4408
01:05:36,355 --> 01:05:36,856
whoever attended

4409
01:05:36,856 --> 01:05:38,190
the meeting to

4410
01:05:38,190 --> 01:05:39,240
give feedback on

4411
01:05:39,240 --> 01:05:39,325
which ones they would prefer to

4412
01:05:39,325 --> 01:05:40,759
hire

4413
01:05:40,759 --> 01:05:41,127
, and then Evan and I go

4414
01:05:41,127 --> 01:05:41,360
through

4415
01:05:41,360 --> 01:05:43,290
the

4416
01:05:43,290 --> 01:05:43,596
contracting process

4417
01:05:43,596 --> 01:05:44,998
I think

4418
01:05:44,998 --> 01:05:45,154
those were

4419
01:05:45,154 --> 01:05:45,732
the

4420
01:05:45,732 --> 01:05:45,965
questions, but it is

4421
01:05:45,965 --> 01:05:46,299
a contract

4422
01:05:46,299 --> 01:05:48,234
with the

4423
01:05:48,234 --> 01:05:49,469
purveyor to do

4424
01:05:49,469 --> 01:05:50,303
the

4425
01:05:50,303 --> 01:05:52,338
work and this is what they're

4426
01:05:52,338 --> 01:05:52,672
To spray

4427
01:05:52,672 --> 01:05:53,720
whatever they're

4428
01:05:53,720 --> 01:05:54,340
saying. I

4429
01:05:54,340 --> 01:05:55,740
mean, it says in the

4430
01:05:55,740 --> 01:05:56,543
contract what they're going to

4431
01:05:56,543 --> 01:05:57,760
do. Correct, yep, and in the

4432
01:05:57,760 --> 01:05:58,578
contract it has

4433
01:05:58,578 --> 01:05:59,179
that layout of

4434
01:05:59,179 --> 01:05:59,412
Evan mentioned of

4435
01:05:59,412 --> 01:06:00,679
they

4436
01:06:00,679 --> 01:06:01,347
must

4437
01:06:01,347 --> 01:06:01,680
post to the public. They must

4438
01:06:01,680 --> 01:06:03,149
apply

4439
01:06:03,149 --> 01:06:03,883
these, they must get

4440
01:06:03,883 --> 01:06:04,951
these permits from the state

4441
01:06:04,951 --> 01:06:05,885
.

4442
01:06:05,885 --> 01:06:06,440
They must spray 10 amount

4443
01:06:06,440 --> 01:06:06,352
of

4444
01:06:06,352 --> 01:06:07,487
times

4445
01:06:07,487 --> 01:06:07,887
on

4446
01:06:07,887 --> 01:06:08,221
these locations based

4447
01:06:08,221 --> 01:06:09,856
on the

4448
01:06:09,856 --> 01:06:10,523
survey work, and then

4449
01:06:10,523 --> 01:06:10,957
again they must do that

4450
01:06:10,957 --> 01:06:12,225
post-treatment

4451
01:06:12,225 --> 01:06:13,590
survey and a

4452
01:06:13,590 --> 01:06:14,294
final report for the community

4453
01:06:14,294 --> 01:06:14,594
.

4454
01:06:14,594 --> 01:06:15,394
Right

4455
01:06:15,394 --> 01:06:16,696
. But you have

4456
01:06:16,696 --> 01:06:17,430
been the

4457
01:06:17,430 --> 01:06:18,698
supervisor for a

4458
01:06:18,698 --> 01:06:18,932
few years now

4459
01:06:18,932 --> 01:06:19,332
.

4460
01:06:19,332 --> 01:06:21,168
I'm almost

4461
01:06:21,168 --> 01:06:23,168
44 years, yeah

4462
01:06:23,436 --> 01:06:23,593
. Ok

4463
01:06:23,593 --> 01:06:24,203
.

4464
01:06:24,203 --> 01:06:25,839
Thank you. Just for my

4465
01:06:25,839 --> 01:06:26,473
background, we're getting a

4466
01:06:26,473 --> 01:06:26,907
whole lot better communication

4467
01:06:26,907 --> 01:06:27,841
we used to

4468
01:06:27,841 --> 01:06:28,174
, but

4469
01:06:28,174 --> 01:06:28,775
it is, it is

4470
01:06:28,775 --> 01:06:29,943
your right to ask for

4471
01:06:29,943 --> 01:06:30,677
that

4472
01:06:30,677 --> 01:06:31,111
better communication, so

4473
01:06:31,111 --> 01:06:32,345
absolutely

4474
01:06:32,345 --> 01:06:32,713
. Denver, do you want

4475
01:06:32,713 --> 01:06:33,113
to speak

4476
01:06:33,113 --> 01:06:35,113
? Denver Fox

4477
01:06:41,522 --> 01:06:41,746
. Uh

4478
01:06:41,746 --> 01:06:42,389
, my

4479
01:06:42,389 --> 01:06:43,690
name's Denver Fox. I

4480
01:06:43,690 --> 01:06:44,391
live on

4481
01:06:44,391 --> 01:06:45,758
the south end of the lake

4482
01:06:45,758 --> 01:06:46,359
, and

4483
01:06:46,359 --> 01:06:46,660
yeah, I guess I would

4484
01:06:46,660 --> 01:06:48,529
pretty

4485
01:06:48,529 --> 01:06:49,290
much echo their entire

4486
01:06:49,290 --> 01:06:50,563
sentiment as far

4487
01:06:50,563 --> 01:06:50,831
as the

4488
01:06:50,831 --> 01:06:51,131
the

4489
01:06:51,131 --> 01:06:52,933
fees

4490
01:06:52,933 --> 01:06:53,734
, uh, yeah, it's being

4491
01:06:53,734 --> 01:06:54,768
posed as this 5% increase

4492
01:06:54,768 --> 01:06:55,636
, but

4493
01:06:55,636 --> 01:06:56,202
it's actually far more than

4494
01:06:56,202 --> 01:06:57,438
that initially, and

4495
01:06:57,438 --> 01:06:58,720
then, and

4496
01:06:58,720 --> 01:06:59,406
then it's a 5%. So it's

4497
01:06:59,406 --> 01:06:59,873
yeah,

4498
01:06:59,873 --> 01:07:00,390
little, little

4499
01:07:00,390 --> 01:07:00,507
false

4500
01:07:00,507 --> 01:07:02,276
advertisement

4501
01:07:02,276 --> 01:07:02,910
as far as how

4502
01:07:02,910 --> 01:07:03,344
that goes. Anybody reading the

4503
01:07:03,344 --> 01:07:04,211
numbers can

4504
01:07:04,211 --> 01:07:04,444
clearly see that,

4505
01:07:04,444 --> 01:07:06,313
uh

4506
01:07:06,313 --> 01:07:06,580
. And

4507
01:07:06,580 --> 01:07:06,847
yeah

4508
01:07:06,847 --> 01:07:08,115
, the

4509
01:07:08,115 --> 01:07:08,849
job I would

4510
01:07:08,849 --> 01:07:09,350
be very curious as far as

4511
01:07:09,350 --> 01:07:10,784
oversight, as

4512
01:07:10,784 --> 01:07:11,510
far as

4513
01:07:11,510 --> 01:07:11,652
how the

4514
01:07:11,652 --> 01:07:13,387
job is actually being

4515
01:07:13,387 --> 01:07:13,988
. Managed

4516
01:07:13,988 --> 01:07:15,756
like after the fact

4517
01:07:15,756 --> 01:07:17,391
. Uh

4518
01:07:17,391 --> 01:07:18,590
, it

4519
01:07:18,590 --> 01:07:18,659
should, the, the job is clearly

4520
01:07:18,659 --> 01:07:19,627
not getting done, and

4521
01:07:19,627 --> 01:07:20,360
so I

4522
01:07:20,360 --> 01:07:20,861
don't know where the boots on

4523
01:07:20,861 --> 01:07:21,862
the ground are

4524
01:07:21,862 --> 01:07:22,429
as

4525
01:07:22,429 --> 01:07:23,897
far as

4526
01:07:23,897 --> 01:07:24,732
who's

4527
01:07:24,732 --> 01:07:25,980
who's checking out the job of

4528
01:07:25,980 --> 01:07:27,340
this third

4529
01:07:27,340 --> 01:07:27,267
party entity. I

4530
01:07:27,267 --> 01:07:27,835
was

4531
01:07:27,835 --> 01:07:28,802
hired to do a

4532
01:07:28,802 --> 01:07:30,604
job, it would be

4533
01:07:30,604 --> 01:07:31,305
.

4534
01:07:31,305 --> 01:07:31,905
Inspected and, and made sure

4535
01:07:31,905 --> 01:07:32,940
that it was done right

4536
01:07:32,940 --> 01:07:33,574
, and I

4537
01:07:33,574 --> 01:07:33,941
feel like that's a completely

4538
01:07:33,941 --> 01:07:35,376
fair ask

4539
01:07:35,376 --> 01:07:35,536
, especially with the

4540
01:07:35,536 --> 01:07:36,110
,

4541
01:07:36,110 --> 01:07:37,611
with the rates going up

4542
01:07:37,611 --> 01:07:38,179
, uh,

4543
01:07:38,179 --> 01:07:38,479
just does not seem

4544
01:07:38,479 --> 01:07:39,780
like

4545
01:07:39,780 --> 01:07:40,581
we're

4546
01:07:40,581 --> 01:07:42,482
getting anything but what we're

4547
01:07:42,482 --> 01:07:42,917
paying into, uh

4548
01:07:42,917 --> 01:07:44,218
. It's

4549
01:07:44,218 --> 01:07:44,919
, yeah,

4550
01:07:44,919 --> 01:07:45,319
it's hard for me as far as

4551
01:07:45,319 --> 01:07:46,487
increasing

4552
01:07:46,487 --> 01:07:46,788
the

4553
01:07:46,788 --> 01:07:47,454
rates when the

4554
01:07:47,454 --> 01:07:47,855
job doesn't seem to be getting

4555
01:07:47,855 --> 01:07:48,923
done to

4556
01:07:48,923 --> 01:07:50,923
begin with

4557
01:07:51,359 --> 01:07:51,826
. The

4558
01:07:51,826 --> 01:07:52,159
3rd

4559
01:07:52,159 --> 01:07:54,128
point

4560
01:07:54,128 --> 01:07:55,663
. Excuse me, would be

4561
01:07:55,663 --> 01:07:56,297
the

4562
01:07:56,297 --> 01:07:56,763
communication. Uh, I've only

4563
01:07:56,763 --> 01:07:58,990
lived there

4564
01:07:58,990 --> 01:07:58,433
for

4565
01:07:58,433 --> 01:07:58,999
, I've owned the

4566
01:07:58,999 --> 01:07:59,366
property for 3 years now and

4567
01:07:59,366 --> 01:08:01,366
I've only

4568
01:08:01,602 --> 01:08:01,969
lived there

4569
01:08:01,969 --> 01:08:02,437
for 1, so

4570
01:08:02,437 --> 01:08:03,638
I don't have a

4571
01:08:03,638 --> 01:08:04,400
lot of

4572
01:08:04,400 --> 01:08:04,605
background

4573
01:08:04,605 --> 01:08:05,774
. I

4574
01:08:05,774 --> 01:08:06,307
will say I have

4575
01:08:06,307 --> 01:08:06,874
not gotten any of these

4576
01:08:06,874 --> 01:08:07,174
notifications, nor have I

4577
01:08:07,174 --> 01:08:09,110
gotten

4578
01:08:09,110 --> 01:08:09,444
any ballots, so I am one

4579
01:08:09,444 --> 01:08:11,444
that

4580
01:08:11,813 --> 01:08:12,246
did

4581
01:08:12,246 --> 01:08:13,982
not vote

4582
01:08:13,982 --> 01:08:14,683
. However, I

4583
01:08:14,683 --> 01:08:15,884
also did not even know

4584
01:08:15,884 --> 01:08:16,551
that

4585
01:08:16,551 --> 01:08:17,520
they, there was a vote. Now,

4586
01:08:17,520 --> 01:08:17,986
the first year

4587
01:08:17,986 --> 01:08:18,420
, the first year

4588
01:08:18,420 --> 01:08:18,586
I did, and

4589
01:08:18,586 --> 01:08:18,887
I

4590
01:08:18,887 --> 01:08:20,455
did

4591
01:08:20,455 --> 01:08:21,550
vote, uh, but

4592
01:08:21,550 --> 01:08:22,624
yeah, I, I have

4593
01:08:22,624 --> 01:08:23,191
not been privy

4594
01:08:23,191 --> 01:08:23,458
to any of these other

4595
01:08:23,458 --> 01:08:23,758
boats,

4596
01:08:23,758 --> 01:08:24,893
and

4597
01:08:24,893 --> 01:08:25,494
maybe

4598
01:08:25,494 --> 01:08:26,194
that's an individual

4599
01:08:26,194 --> 01:08:26,828
issue, but I know none of

4600
01:08:26,828 --> 01:08:27,629
my

4601
01:08:27,629 --> 01:08:27,896
neighbors have been getting

4602
01:08:27,896 --> 01:08:29,896
the

4603
01:08:29,998 --> 01:08:30,398
notifications either. Uh, I did

4604
01:08:30,398 --> 01:08:31,833
not get a

4605
01:08:31,833 --> 01:08:32,534
notification for this

4606
01:08:32,534 --> 01:08:33,534
meeting. The only reason

4607
01:08:33,534 --> 01:08:33,936
I'm

4608
01:08:33,936 --> 01:08:34,402
here is

4609
01:08:34,402 --> 01:08:34,869
because Stan actually

4610
01:08:34,869 --> 01:08:36,138
called me up

4611
01:08:36,138 --> 01:08:36,504
and asked if I was

4612
01:08:36,504 --> 01:08:36,872
coming to

4613
01:08:36,872 --> 01:08:38,440
it. Um

4614
01:08:38,440 --> 01:08:38,607
, So

4615
01:08:38,607 --> 01:08:39,274
I don't

4616
01:08:39,274 --> 01:08:40,909
know what that overall

4617
01:08:40,909 --> 01:08:41,576
communication looks like or

4618
01:08:41,576 --> 01:08:42,177
what it looks like in like in

4619
01:08:42,177 --> 01:08:42,843
guys' other districts

4620
01:08:42,843 --> 01:08:43,512
if it's

4621
01:08:43,512 --> 01:08:44,947
the same same

4622
01:08:44,947 --> 01:08:45,104
type

4623
01:08:45,104 --> 01:08:45,680
of

4624
01:08:45,680 --> 01:08:45,981
communication, but if there's

4625
01:08:45,981 --> 01:08:47,549
any

4626
01:08:47,549 --> 01:08:48,820
Way

4627
01:08:48,820 --> 01:08:49,884
of getting an email

4628
01:08:49,884 --> 01:08:50,485
list and obviously the ballots

4629
01:08:50,485 --> 01:08:51,753
would have to be a

4630
01:08:51,753 --> 01:08:52,487
physical

4631
01:08:52,487 --> 01:08:53,540
ballot, but sending out an

4632
01:08:53,540 --> 01:08:54,155
email notification

4633
01:08:54,155 --> 01:08:54,756
, phone calls

4634
01:08:54,756 --> 01:08:56,324
something as

4635
01:08:56,324 --> 01:08:56,959
far as letting

4636
01:08:56,959 --> 01:08:57,359
people know what is, what is

4637
01:08:57,359 --> 01:08:58,527
going on

4638
01:08:58,527 --> 01:08:58,960
and

4639
01:08:58,960 --> 01:08:59,160
that

4640
01:08:59,160 --> 01:08:59,728
there's

4641
01:08:59,728 --> 01:09:00,280
meetings and that there's a

4642
01:09:00,280 --> 01:09:00,829
vote

4643
01:09:00,829 --> 01:09:01,230
to

4644
01:09:01,230 --> 01:09:03,230
be

4645
01:09:03,399 --> 01:09:03,632
Yeah, ask mine, but

4646
01:09:03,632 --> 01:09:03,966
.

4647
01:09:03,966 --> 01:09:05,134
That's

4648
01:09:05,134 --> 01:09:06,234
all

4649
01:09:06,234 --> 01:09:08,634
I've got. Thank you

4650
01:09:09,504 --> 01:09:10,105
.

4651
01:09:10,105 --> 01:09:10,606
Is there anybody online you'd

4652
01:09:10,606 --> 01:09:12,606
like to comment

4653
01:09:15,143 --> 01:09:15,643
? Anybody

4654
01:09:15,643 --> 01:09:17,643
Langler comment

4655
01:09:22,718 --> 01:09:23,180
. You

4656
01:09:23,180 --> 01:09:23,552
want

4657
01:09:23,552 --> 01:09:24,220
to

4658
01:09:24,220 --> 01:09:24,720
close the public

4659
01:09:24,720 --> 01:09:25,860
hearing. I

4660
01:09:25,860 --> 01:09:25,920
certainly

4661
01:09:25,920 --> 01:09:26,589
would like to make a

4662
01:09:26,589 --> 01:09:26,922
motion to close the public

4663
01:09:26,922 --> 01:09:28,323
hearing

4664
01:09:28,323 --> 01:09:28,724
. And I will

4665
01:09:28,724 --> 01:09:30,724
second that

4666
01:09:30,726 --> 01:09:32,794
Let's move to 2nd to close the

4667
01:09:32,794 --> 01:09:33,950
public hearings

4668
01:09:33,950 --> 01:09:33,429
, setting the

4669
01:09:33,429 --> 01:09:34,930
rates

4670
01:09:34,930 --> 01:09:35,331
for the lake

4671
01:09:35,331 --> 01:09:37,331
Management

4672
01:09:37,500 --> 01:09:37,866
District 4 any more discussion

4673
01:09:37,866 --> 01:09:39,435
on that

4674
01:09:39,435 --> 01:09:39,935
? Um

4675
01:09:39,935 --> 01:09:41,537
, just one thing, I

4676
01:09:41,537 --> 01:09:42,204
think

4677
01:09:42,204 --> 01:09:42,872
definitely communications

4678
01:09:42,872 --> 01:09:43,573
could be better or the

4679
01:09:43,573 --> 01:09:44,273
email

4680
01:09:44,273 --> 01:09:44,774
list, I mean, technology is

4681
01:09:44,774 --> 01:09:45,874
much better than

4682
01:09:45,874 --> 01:09:46,142
it used to be

4683
01:09:46,142 --> 01:09:46,809
15

4684
01:09:46,809 --> 01:09:48,430
years ago, so we ought

4685
01:09:48,430 --> 01:09:48,710
to do

4686
01:09:48,710 --> 01:09:49,145
a better job getting that

4687
01:09:49,145 --> 01:09:50,713
communications

4688
01:09:50,713 --> 01:09:51,414
out there, and

4689
01:09:51,414 --> 01:09:52,314
it's easy once you get a

4690
01:09:52,314 --> 01:09:52,782
list

4691
01:09:52,782 --> 01:09:53,249
to have

4692
01:09:53,249 --> 01:09:53,916
that available. I don't

4693
01:09:53,916 --> 01:09:54,217
know if you want to comment on

4694
01:09:54,217 --> 01:09:55,384
that

4695
01:09:55,384 --> 01:09:55,818
at all, Jen? Yeah, I can

4696
01:09:55,818 --> 01:09:57,220
just explain

4697
01:09:57,220 --> 01:09:57,587
. I, I

4698
01:09:57,587 --> 01:09:57,920
think a part

4699
01:09:57,920 --> 01:09:59,389
of it

4700
01:09:59,389 --> 01:09:59,822
, um, emails

4701
01:09:59,822 --> 01:10:00,356
, obviously we

4702
01:10:00,356 --> 01:10:01,658
don't get, so I

4703
01:10:01,658 --> 01:10:02,392
just the

4704
01:10:02,392 --> 01:10:03,250
process itself of how we get

4705
01:10:03,250 --> 01:10:03,925
those addresses and

4706
01:10:03,925 --> 01:10:04,593
how ballots

4707
01:10:04,593 --> 01:10:04,861
are sent out. So we work with

4708
01:10:04,861 --> 01:10:06,361
the

4709
01:10:06,361 --> 01:10:07,196
assessor's office who gives

4710
01:10:07,196 --> 01:10:08,298
us that role. Sounds like

4711
01:10:08,298 --> 01:10:08,964
there

4712
01:10:08,964 --> 01:10:09,666
might be an error there, so we

4713
01:10:09,666 --> 01:10:10,466
can definitely. Talk to

4714
01:10:10,466 --> 01:10:10,966
that

4715
01:10:10,966 --> 01:10:11,301
office and we

4716
01:10:11,301 --> 01:10:11,767
got last year

4717
01:10:11,767 --> 01:10:12,868
when we went

4718
01:10:12,868 --> 01:10:13,570
through this, we

4719
01:10:13,570 --> 01:10:14,203
got a couple of people saying,

4720
01:10:14,203 --> 01:10:14,704
I don't live on the lake. I

4721
01:10:14,704 --> 01:10:15,338
don't know why

4722
01:10:15,338 --> 01:10:16,720
I got this, and

4723
01:10:16,720 --> 01:10:17,600
vice versa. So there's always

4724
01:10:17,600 --> 01:10:17,640
a

4725
01:10:17,640 --> 01:10:18,341
little bit of cleanup and happy

4726
01:10:18,341 --> 01:10:19,442
to do that, but that's the

4727
01:10:19,442 --> 01:10:20,176
role

4728
01:10:20,176 --> 01:10:20,910
we send it to is through that

4729
01:10:20,910 --> 01:10:22,278
assessor's office, and that's

4730
01:10:22,278 --> 01:10:22,745
the 48 parcels

4731
01:10:22,745 --> 01:10:23,947
you see

4732
01:10:23,947 --> 01:10:24,747
, um, for

4733
01:10:24,747 --> 01:10:25,214
emails, obviously we don't have

4734
01:10:25,214 --> 01:10:26,383
that internally

4735
01:10:26,383 --> 01:10:26,983
, so it's all

4736
01:10:26,983 --> 01:10:27,517
just been word of mouth. I

4737
01:10:27,517 --> 01:10:28,918
think that's why

4738
01:10:28,918 --> 01:10:29,252
Big Lake and

4739
01:10:29,252 --> 01:10:29,819
Lake

4740
01:10:29,819 --> 01:10:31,121
Campbell is

4741
01:10:31,121 --> 01:10:31,788
, we had people

4742
01:10:31,788 --> 01:10:32,422
who are really interested, they

4743
01:10:32,422 --> 01:10:33,230
reach out and then they

4744
01:10:33,230 --> 01:10:33,490
share

4745
01:10:33,490 --> 01:10:33,990
it with their

4746
01:10:33,990 --> 01:10:34,324
50 neighbors who

4747
01:10:34,324 --> 01:10:35,759
we don't

4748
01:10:35,759 --> 01:10:36,426
have their email

4749
01:10:36,426 --> 01:10:36,860
addresses for, and so that's

4750
01:10:36,860 --> 01:10:37,894
something i

4751
01:10:37,894 --> 01:10:38,528
would love to get

4752
01:10:38,528 --> 01:10:38,795
as many email addresses as we

4753
01:10:38,795 --> 01:10:40,362
can

4754
01:10:40,362 --> 01:10:40,697
. On our list

4755
01:10:40,697 --> 01:10:40,963
serves that we

4756
01:10:40,963 --> 01:10:42,732
that

4757
01:10:42,732 --> 01:10:43,266
I've been builds and

4758
01:10:43,266 --> 01:10:44,534
manages and so

4759
01:10:44,534 --> 01:10:45,335
every time he

4760
01:10:45,335 --> 01:10:46,536
gets someone who emails us

4761
01:10:46,536 --> 01:10:47,203
, he

4762
01:10:47,203 --> 01:10:47,904
adds them to that, so they get

4763
01:10:47,904 --> 01:10:49,390
that annual meeting invite

4764
01:10:49,390 --> 01:10:49,673
and

4765
01:10:49,673 --> 01:10:49,973
that's something, yes, we can

4766
01:10:49,973 --> 01:10:51,141
always

4767
01:10:51,141 --> 01:10:51,607
improve

4768
01:10:51,607 --> 01:10:52,342
upon and as much

4769
01:10:52,342 --> 01:10:53,309
as you all talk to each other

4770
01:10:53,309 --> 01:10:54,770
,

4771
01:10:54,770 --> 01:10:56,346
that's the best way to do it

4772
01:10:56,346 --> 01:10:56,647
.

4773
01:10:56,647 --> 01:10:58,348
Thank

4774
01:10:58,348 --> 01:10:58,681
you. Any

4775
01:10:58,681 --> 01:10:59,115
more discussion

4776
01:10:59,115 --> 01:11:00,450
on closing

4777
01:11:00,450 --> 01:11:00,917
the public hearing?

4778
01:11:00,917 --> 01:11:02,419
All those

4779
01:11:02,419 --> 01:11:02,719
in favor

4780
01:11:02,719 --> 01:11:02,953
of

4781
01:11:02,953 --> 01:11:03,286
signify

4782
01:11:03,286 --> 01:11:04,588
say aye

4783
01:11:04,588 --> 01:11:05,422
, aye

4784
01:11:05,422 --> 01:11:07,422
. I suppose

4785
01:11:07,658 --> 01:11:07,958
. Motion

4786
01:11:07,958 --> 01:11:09,958
passes

4787
01:11:10,126 --> 01:11:11,829
. All the phones

4788
01:11:11,829 --> 01:11:12,362
. This is

4789
01:11:12,362 --> 01:11:13,563
just closing the

4790
01:11:13,563 --> 01:11:14,531
public hearing

4791
01:11:14,531 --> 01:11:16,200
is what it was, so we haven't

4792
01:11:16,200 --> 01:11:18,200
voted on any

4793
01:11:18,301 --> 01:11:18,635
. Motion or

4794
01:11:18,635 --> 01:11:20,635
anything

4795
01:11:20,803 --> 01:11:21,138
. Um, commissioner

4796
01:11:21,138 --> 01:11:21,505
.

4797
01:11:21,505 --> 01:11:22,840
Browning

4798
01:11:22,840 --> 01:11:23,240
, any thoughts, any

4799
01:11:23,240 --> 01:11:25,240
questions

4800
01:11:25,375 --> 01:11:25,842
? Just that I've been,

4801
01:11:25,842 --> 01:11:27,378
i've been a big

4802
01:11:27,378 --> 01:11:27,611
lake for

4803
01:11:27,611 --> 01:11:27,978
25

4804
01:11:27,978 --> 01:11:29,978
years

4805
01:11:30,800 --> 01:11:30,481
, and this, it is so much

4806
01:11:30,481 --> 01:11:31,815
better used

4807
01:11:31,815 --> 01:11:32,215
to be, but

4808
01:11:32,215 --> 01:11:32,816
it

4809
01:11:32,816 --> 01:11:33,917
really is torturous

4810
01:11:33,917 --> 01:11:34,840
to

4811
01:11:34,840 --> 01:11:34,752
get

4812
01:11:34,752 --> 01:11:35,886
people involved and so

4813
01:11:35,886 --> 01:11:36,720
this

4814
01:11:36,720 --> 01:11:37,154
really is something that a

4815
01:11:37,154 --> 01:11:38,455
combination

4816
01:11:38,455 --> 01:11:39,890
of assessors, but

4817
01:11:39,890 --> 01:11:39,756
then making sure the auditor,

4818
01:11:39,756 --> 01:11:40,824
because the auditor sends

4819
01:11:40,824 --> 01:11:41,125
out

4820
01:11:41,125 --> 01:11:41,524
the

4821
01:11:41,524 --> 01:11:42,590
the

4822
01:11:42,590 --> 01:11:43,394
so that connection

4823
01:11:43,394 --> 01:11:43,828
has

4824
01:11:43,828 --> 01:11:44,428
to be made

4825
01:11:44,428 --> 01:11:45,395
solid that

4826
01:11:45,395 --> 01:11:46,970
the

4827
01:11:46,970 --> 01:11:46,363
assessor clearly identifies all

4828
01:11:46,363 --> 01:11:47,732
of

4829
01:11:47,732 --> 01:11:48,320
the lots that are on

4830
01:11:48,320 --> 01:11:48,566
the

4831
01:11:48,566 --> 01:11:49,900
lake and then gives

4832
01:11:49,900 --> 01:11:50,668
us this to

4833
01:11:50,668 --> 01:11:52,270
the auditor and the auditor

4834
01:11:52,270 --> 01:11:52,436
gets those ballots out

4835
01:11:52,436 --> 01:11:53,203
. So

4836
01:11:53,203 --> 01:11:54,839
we've got some work to do and

4837
01:11:54,839 --> 01:11:55,139
Because it

4838
01:11:55,139 --> 01:11:56,340
really

4839
01:11:56,340 --> 01:11:57,108
everybody has

4840
01:11:57,108 --> 01:11:57,742
to have a voice in this because

4841
01:11:57,742 --> 01:11:58,709
it really does matter

4842
01:11:58,709 --> 01:11:59,177
. And yes,

4843
01:11:59,177 --> 01:11:59,577
there are

4844
01:11:59,577 --> 01:11:59,877
years sometimes when

4845
01:11:59,877 --> 01:12:01,346
the

4846
01:12:01,346 --> 01:12:03,346
The um

4847
01:12:03,781 --> 01:12:04,448
Um

4848
01:12:04,448 --> 01:12:05,115
, water lilies

4849
01:12:05,115 --> 01:12:05,383
just don't seem to quite

4850
01:12:05,383 --> 01:12:06,250
go

4851
01:12:06,250 --> 01:12:06,651
away the way they have in the

4852
01:12:06,651 --> 01:12:08,190
past

4853
01:12:08,190 --> 01:12:08,753
. Some people would like to

4854
01:12:08,753 --> 01:12:10,354
see the water lilies there to

4855
01:12:10,354 --> 01:12:10,788
get more fish, but then that's,

4856
01:12:10,788 --> 01:12:12,122
that's another

4857
01:12:12,122 --> 01:12:12,590
thing

4858
01:12:12,590 --> 01:12:13,324
. But still

4859
01:12:13,324 --> 01:12:14,892
Evan's been really easy to

4860
01:12:14,892 --> 01:12:15,325
work

4861
01:12:15,325 --> 01:12:15,560
with and so

4862
01:12:15,560 --> 01:12:16,661
our

4863
01:12:16,661 --> 01:12:17,194
, our system

4864
01:12:17,194 --> 01:12:17,762
right now or the people

4865
01:12:17,762 --> 01:12:18,796
involved are the best

4866
01:12:18,796 --> 01:12:19,330
we've had

4867
01:12:19,330 --> 01:12:21,299
in a long time

4868
01:12:21,299 --> 01:12:21,833
. Um

4869
01:12:21,833 --> 01:12:22,300
, but it's

4870
01:12:22,300 --> 01:12:23,268
also yours

4871
01:12:23,268 --> 01:12:23,767
to

4872
01:12:23,767 --> 01:12:23,950
hold us and

4873
01:12:23,950 --> 01:12:24,335
them

4874
01:12:24,335 --> 01:12:25,937
accountable

4875
01:12:25,937 --> 01:12:26,271
, so, but

4876
01:12:26,271 --> 01:12:26,904
, but

4877
01:12:26,904 --> 01:12:27,972
getting some of your

4878
01:12:27,972 --> 01:12:28,573
neighbors

4879
01:12:28,573 --> 01:12:29,600
involved in this, make sure

4880
01:12:29,600 --> 01:12:30,442
they realize

4881
01:12:30,442 --> 01:12:31,750
that they have a

4882
01:12:31,750 --> 01:12:31,375
voice and need to share that

4883
01:12:31,375 --> 01:12:32,677
voice

4884
01:12:32,677 --> 01:12:34,677
is really important

4885
01:12:34,679 --> 01:12:35,614
. Just

4886
01:12:35,614 --> 01:12:37,949
clarify for myself we have to

4887
01:12:37,949 --> 01:12:38,216
If we're gonna change that, we

4888
01:12:38,216 --> 01:12:39,217
have

4889
01:12:39,217 --> 01:12:39,517
to

4890
01:12:39,517 --> 01:12:40,840

On the new

4898

4920
01:13:07,245 --> 01:13:08,446
thought. I

4921
01:13:08,446 --> 01:13:09,381

forensic

5036
01:17:16,853 --> 01:17:17,388

you know that

5038
01:17:17,621 --> 01:17:19,156
our

is leaving and

5042
01:17:20,391 --> 01:17:21,424
going

5043
01:17:21,424 --> 01:17:21,725
to

5044
01:17:21,725 --> 01:17:22,590

and

5046
01:17:23,394 --> 01:17:24,940
um in

5047
01:17:24,940 --> 01:17:25,663
the meantime, uh

5048
01:17:25,663 --> 01:17:25,963
. The

5049
01:17:25,963 --> 01:17:26,530
people

5050
01:17:26,530 --> 01:17:27,865
who are filling

5051
01:17:27,865 --> 01:17:28,499
in or

5052
01:17:28,499 --> 01:17:28,933
potentially filling in or not

5053
01:17:28,933 --> 01:17:30,367
corners for

5054
01:17:30,367 --> 01:17:30,701
that matter

5055
01:17:30,701 --> 01:17:31,101
, we

5056
01:17:31,101 --> 01:17:32,535
know, so

5057
01:17:32,535 --> 01:17:33,136
it's a necessary

5058
01:17:33,136 --> 01:17:34,705
function for doing any

5059
01:17:34,705 --> 01:17:35,406
real

5060
01:17:35,406 --> 01:17:35,673
involved uh evaluation of

5061
01:17:35,673 --> 01:17:37,141
a of

5062
01:17:37,141 --> 01:17:37,608
a of a a

5063
01:17:37,608 --> 01:17:39,576
. A

5064
01:17:39,576 --> 01:17:40,176
death's body that

5065
01:17:40,176 --> 01:17:42,130
needs to be addressed

5066
01:17:42,130 --> 01:17:42,279
. Also,

5067
01:17:42,279 --> 01:17:43,948
the

5068
01:17:43,948 --> 01:17:44,214
facilities management, we

5069
01:17:44,214 --> 01:17:45,983
are

5070
01:17:45,983 --> 01:17:46,384
, uh, finally

5071
01:17:46,384 --> 01:17:46,917
. Finally, I

5072
01:17:46,917 --> 01:17:48,352
should, I should

5073
01:17:48,352 --> 01:17:49,186
leave this one

5074
01:17:49,186 --> 01:17:49,787
for you, but because it's been

5075
01:17:49,787 --> 01:17:50,488
even more a part of

5076
01:17:50,488 --> 01:17:51,880
this, but

5077
01:17:51,880 --> 01:17:51,522
still, I'll jump

5078
01:17:51,522 --> 01:17:53,522
, I'll steal it

5079
01:17:53,758 --> 01:17:54,992
We're getting a complete repair

5080
01:17:54,992 --> 01:17:55,793
of

5081
01:17:55,793 --> 01:17:56,600
the sewer system outlined in

5082
01:17:56,600 --> 01:17:58,600
the

5083
01:17:58,195 --> 01:17:58,796
building documents for the

5084
01:17:58,796 --> 01:17:59,630
Skagit County Community

5085
01:17:59,630 --> 01:18:00,297
Justice

5086
01:18:00,297 --> 01:18:00,897
Center. For many of you who've

5087
01:18:00,897 --> 01:18:01,799
been around and listen

5088
01:18:01,799 --> 01:18:02,634
to this,

5089
01:18:02,634 --> 01:18:02,900
the building kind of settled a

5090
01:18:02,900 --> 01:18:03,901
bit

5091
01:18:03,901 --> 01:18:04,602
and it

5092
01:18:04,602 --> 01:18:06,370
. Created a

5093
01:18:06,370 --> 01:18:08,370
Uh

5094
01:18:09,273 --> 01:18:11,800
, a

5095
01:18:11,800 --> 01:18:11,342
non-gravitational the men's

5096
01:18:11,342 --> 01:18:11,609
restroom

5097
01:18:11,609 --> 01:18:12,944
and

5098
01:18:12,944 --> 01:18:13,277
the

5099
01:18:13,277 --> 01:18:13,678
um for

5100
01:18:13,678 --> 01:18:14,120
the

5101
01:18:14,120 --> 01:18:16,120
officers

5102
01:18:16,547 --> 01:18:17,382
. Which

5103
01:18:17,382 --> 01:18:17,649
The

5104
01:18:17,649 --> 01:18:18,416
sewer pipe

5105
01:18:18,416 --> 01:18:19,984
wasn't draining properly, so

5106
01:18:19,984 --> 01:18:20,584
they've got

5107
01:18:20,584 --> 01:18:21,953
to redo

5108
01:18:21,953 --> 01:18:22,487
. It was

5109
01:18:22,487 --> 01:18:24,422
draining it in the

5110
01:18:24,422 --> 01:18:25,890
wrong

5111
01:18:25,890 --> 01:18:26,524
direction, so

5112
01:18:26,524 --> 01:18:27,124
, um, finally in

5113
01:18:27,124 --> 01:18:27,458
the public works, we have a

5114
01:18:27,458 --> 01:18:29,600
contract

5115
01:18:29,600 --> 01:18:29,493
with Morgan Free Works

5116
01:18:29,493 --> 01:18:31,493
for the

5117
01:18:31,930 --> 01:18:32,764
abandoned railroad

5118
01:18:32,764 --> 01:18:33,310
bridge debris removal project

5119
01:18:33,310 --> 01:18:33,865
.

5120
01:18:33,865 --> 01:18:34,298
This one's been on the, taken

5121
01:18:34,298 --> 01:18:35,400
off the books

5122
01:18:35,400 --> 01:18:36,133
the last two

5123
01:18:36,133 --> 01:18:36,501
times in a row, but finally

5124
01:18:36,501 --> 01:18:38,303
it's on

5125
01:18:38,303 --> 01:18:38,736
, and that's just where

5126
01:18:38,736 --> 01:18:39,971
we have a lot

5127
01:18:39,971 --> 01:18:40,304
of

5128
01:18:40,304 --> 01:18:40,972
debris behind

5129
01:18:40,972 --> 01:18:42,207
the bridges, and we've

5130
01:18:42,207 --> 01:18:42,641
got

5131
01:18:42,641 --> 01:18:43,173
potentially

5132
01:18:43,173 --> 01:18:44,309
. A flood season

5133
01:18:44,309 --> 01:18:44,575
, in

5134
01:18:44,575 --> 01:18:45,100
fact

5135
01:18:45,100 --> 01:18:47,100
, flood season

5136
01:18:47,440 --> 01:18:47,812
. Awareness

5137
01:18:47,812 --> 01:18:49,247
starts next week, so we're in

5138
01:18:49,247 --> 01:18:49,914
preparation for

5139
01:18:49,914 --> 01:18:51,416
year

5140
01:18:51,416 --> 01:18:52,150
2027 and

5141
01:18:52,150 --> 01:18:53,384
late 2026 floods

5142
01:18:53,384 --> 01:18:53,584
, and

5143
01:18:53,584 --> 01:18:54,319
we can't

5144
01:18:54,319 --> 01:18:55,920
have that debris piled up

5145
01:18:55,920 --> 01:18:56,354
in

5146
01:18:56,354 --> 01:18:58,354
our dock

5147
01:18:58,656 --> 01:19:00,250
. And that number 12

5148
01:19:00,250 --> 01:19:00,759
,

5149
01:19:00,759 --> 01:19:01,930
uh, they revised the contract

5150
01:19:01,930 --> 01:19:02,828
and so

5151
01:19:02,828 --> 01:19:03,228
it

5152
01:19:03,228 --> 01:19:05,228
was

5153
01:19:05,263 --> 01:19:05,425
207,500, but

5154
01:19:05,425 --> 01:19:05,797
to

5155
01:19:05,797 --> 01:19:07,320
correct the

5156
01:19:07,320 --> 01:19:09,320
numbers

5157
01:19:09,234 --> 01:19:09,668
is 207,000,

5158
01:19:09,668 --> 01:19:10,102
um, so it's

5159
01:19:10,102 --> 01:19:10,334
an updated number,

5160
01:19:10,334 --> 01:19:12,334
so

5161
01:19:12,536 --> 01:19:13,839
. The number correct

5162
01:19:13,839 --> 01:19:14,539
number

5163
01:19:14,539 --> 01:19:16,800
is 207,000

5164
01:19:16,800 --> 01:19:18,800
to remove

5165
01:19:18,343 --> 01:19:18,776
. Remove

5166
01:19:18,776 --> 01:19:19,278
and put

5167
01:19:19,278 --> 01:19:19,578
down river the logs

5168
01:19:19,578 --> 01:19:20,612
that

5169
01:19:20,612 --> 01:19:21,313
are

5170
01:19:21,313 --> 01:19:23,713
built up on the

5171
01:19:25,830 --> 01:19:25,250
railroad bridge next to

5172
01:19:25,250 --> 01:19:25,684
Highway

5173
01:19:25,684 --> 01:19:26,617
9 up there

5174
01:19:26,617 --> 01:19:26,885
. So

5175
01:19:26,885 --> 01:19:27,285
they

5176
01:19:27,285 --> 01:19:27,920
can't take

5177
01:19:27,920 --> 01:19:28,252
them out, they just break them

5178
01:19:28,252 --> 01:19:29,521
loose

5179
01:19:29,521 --> 01:19:29,988
. They have to

5180
01:19:29,988 --> 01:19:30,422
, they can't

5181
01:19:30,422 --> 01:19:32,560
remove them

5182
01:19:32,560 --> 01:19:32,724
. They can break

5183
01:19:32,724 --> 01:19:34,526
them loose and shove them

5184
01:19:34,526 --> 01:19:35,600
downstreams so they have to go

5185
01:19:35,600 --> 01:19:36,662
downstream and so

5186
01:19:36,662 --> 01:19:37,229
. All the

5187
01:19:37,229 --> 01:19:38,497
other bridges along

5188
01:19:38,497 --> 01:19:38,659
the

5189
01:19:38,659 --> 01:19:39,198
way

5190
01:19:39,198 --> 01:19:39,664
potentially could get another

5191
01:19:39,664 --> 01:19:41,660
log. That was

5192
01:19:41,660 --> 01:19:41,500
my

5193
01:19:41,500 --> 01:19:43,369
thought, but

5194
01:19:43,369 --> 01:19:44,103
that's the, the rules we have

5195
01:19:44,103 --> 01:19:45,804
to do when we deal with

5196
01:19:45,804 --> 01:19:46,505
.

5197
01:19:46,505 --> 01:19:48,905
Dealing with those things

5198
01:19:49,809 --> 01:19:51,809
. Um

5199
01:19:52,440 --> 01:19:52,444
,

5200
01:19:52,444 --> 01:19:52,912
One thing

5201
01:19:52,912 --> 01:19:54,912

background and reasoning for

5328
01:21:56,770 --> 01:21:58,339
that, so

5329
01:21:58,339 --> 01:21:58,605
. We, we did

5330
01:21:58,605 --> 01:21:58,805
talk

5331
01:21:58,805 --> 01:21:59,720
about

5332
01:21:59,720 --> 01:22:00,474
they

5333
01:22:00,474 --> 01:22:01,108
released them and they go

5334
01:22:01,108 --> 01:22:01,374
down and get stuck in another,

5335
01:22:01,374 --> 01:22:03,244
is

5336
01:22:03,244 --> 01:22:03,611
there any obligation to kind

5337
01:22:03,611 --> 01:22:05,212
of follow

5338
01:22:05,212 --> 01:22:05,412
them down so

5339
01:22:05,412 --> 01:22:05,713
they get

5340
01:22:05,713 --> 01:22:06,947
past

5341
01:22:06,947 --> 01:22:07,614

5343
01:22:07,772 --> 01:22:08,182
,

5344
01:22:08,182 --> 01:22:09,450
well, the hope

5345
01:22:09,450 --> 01:22:09,650
is that

5346
01:22:09,650 --> 01:22:10,351
they get

5347
01:22:10,351 --> 01:22:10,718
hung up in places before they

5348
01:22:10,718 --> 01:22:12,586
get to

5349
01:22:12,586 --> 01:22:12,753
other people's bridges

5350
01:22:12,753 --> 01:22:13,190
,

5351
01:22:13,190 --> 01:22:14,488
but

5352
01:22:14,488 --> 01:22:14,722
we do, um, do our best

5353
01:22:14,722 --> 01:22:16,490
to

5354
01:22:16,490 --> 01:22:18,192
coordinate and, and let our

5355
01:22:18,192 --> 01:22:18,926
um

5356
01:22:18,926 --> 01:22:19,294
downstream uh partners know

5357
01:22:19,294 --> 01:22:20,894
that, hey

5358
01:22:20,894 --> 01:22:21,229
, we're releasing the

5359
01:22:21,229 --> 01:22:22,997
logs

5360
01:22:22,997 --> 01:22:23,431
, um, and then

5361
01:22:23,431 --> 01:22:23,897
, uh, we just

5362
01:22:23,897 --> 01:22:25,299
uh, have to

5363
01:22:25,299 --> 01:22:25,533
see what

5364
01:22:25,533 --> 01:22:26,200
, uh,

5365
01:22:26,200 --> 01:22:28,350
nature has in store for us

5366
01:22:28,350 --> 01:22:28,669
. But

5367
01:22:28,669 --> 01:22:29,360
that's part of the permit

5368
01:22:29,360 --> 01:22:29,937
process

5369
01:22:29,937 --> 01:22:30,938
. We can't remove them.

5370
01:22:30,938 --> 01:22:31,439
We have to release them

5371
01:22:31,439 --> 01:22:31,806
to let

5372
01:22:31,806 --> 01:22:32,273
them

5373
01:22:32,273 --> 01:22:32,453
float downstream

5374
01:22:32,453 --> 01:22:32,907
.

5375
01:22:32,907 --> 01:22:33,975
Excellent question

5376
01:22:33,975 --> 01:22:34,342
. Yes

5377
01:22:34,342 --> 01:22:35,900
, that

5378
01:22:35,900 --> 01:22:35,376
certainly used to be the case

5379
01:22:35,376 --> 01:22:36,444
that we

5380
01:22:36,444 --> 01:22:37,144
could just drag them

5381
01:22:37,144 --> 01:22:38,346
out and, and, uh, use

5382
01:22:38,346 --> 01:22:39,130
them

5383
01:22:39,130 --> 01:22:39,514
other places, but now we are

5384
01:22:39,514 --> 01:22:40,981
legally bound to

5385
01:22:40,981 --> 01:22:42,717
Simply

5386
01:22:42,717 --> 01:22:43,384
, uh,

5387
01:22:43,384 --> 01:22:43,684
release them downstream

5388
01:22:43,684 --> 01:22:45,684
. Yep

5389
01:22:46,190 --> 01:22:46,387

other

5393
01:22:48,756 --> 01:22:49,858
questions

5394
01:22:49,858 --> 01:22:50,358
or

5395
01:22:50,358 --> 01:22:52,358

01:23:08,710 --> 01:23:10,440
time and effort we

put

5414
01:23:10,211 --> 01:23:10,745
into

5415
01:23:10,745 --> 01:23:12,247

5416
01:23:12,247 --> 01:23:12,880
they

5417
01:23:12,880 --> 01:23:13,648
are

5418
01:23:13,648 --> 01:23:14,415
perfectly designed to

5419
01:23:14,415 --> 01:23:15,150

5420
01:23:15,150 --> 01:23:15,550

5425
01:23:19,287 --> 01:23:19,888
they

5426
01:23:19,888 --> 01:23:20,288
handle tough situations

5427
01:23:20,288 --> 01:23:21,724
and it's

5428
01:23:21,724 --> 01:23:21,890
partly because of the

5429
01:23:21,890 --> 01:23:22,524
,

5430
01:23:22,524 --> 01:23:23,524

card

5526
01:25:00,156 --> 01:25:00,490

01:25:00,490 --> 01:25:02,458
ride for

01:25:11,200 --> 01:25:11,500

same value.

5545
01:25:15,839 --> 01:25:16,105

01:27:22,253 --> 01:27:22,454
, so

5601
01:27:22,454 --> 01:27:22,613
i

5602
01:27:22,613 --> 01:27:22,921
just

5603
01:27:22,921 --> 01:27:24,489
came

5604
01:27:24,489 --> 01:27:25,190
today. Um, my name is

5605
01:27:25,190 --> 01:27:27,158
Amanda Toscano. I'm a

5606
01:27:27,158 --> 01:27:27,625
local

5607
01:27:27,625 --> 01:27:29,270
realtor. I

5608
01:27:29,270 --> 01:27:29,561
have regular issues

5609
01:27:29,561 --> 01:27:30,829
with the planning

5610
01:27:30,829 --> 01:27:31,195
department. I

5611
01:27:31,195 --> 01:27:31,429
sent you

5612
01:27:31,429 --> 01:27:31,696
guys

5613
01:27:31,696 --> 01:27:33,431
an

5614
01:27:33,431 --> 01:27:33,998
email about

5615
01:27:33,998 --> 01:27:35,400
the planning

5616
01:27:35,400 --> 01:27:35,867
department

5617
01:27:35,867 --> 01:27:36,267
oversight two

5618
01:27:36,267 --> 01:27:38,267
years ago

5619
01:27:38,403 --> 01:27:38,703
, and no

5620
01:27:38,703 --> 01:27:39,904
one

5621
01:27:39,904 --> 01:27:40,338
ever

5622
01:27:40,338 --> 01:27:40,739
responded. So I'm here

5623
01:27:40,739 --> 01:27:42,400
today to

5624
01:27:42,400 --> 01:27:42,340
Talk

5625
01:27:42,340 --> 01:27:42,908
about

5626
01:27:42,908 --> 01:27:43,308
, um,

5627
01:27:43,308 --> 01:27:44,843
Hackett v

5628
01:27:44,843 --> 01:27:45,210
. Epa

5629
01:27:45,210 --> 01:27:45,476
or saci, pardon

5630
01:27:45,476 --> 01:27:47,476
me

5631
01:27:49,113 --> 01:27:51,113
, vepa determinations for

5632
01:27:51,483 --> 01:27:51,783
wetland definitions I would

5633
01:27:51,783 --> 01:27:53,783
like

5634
01:27:53,952 --> 01:27:54,519
. I have talked to the

5635
01:27:54,519 --> 01:27:56,880
wetlands people

5636
01:27:56,880 --> 01:27:58,230
, specifically

5637
01:27:58,230 --> 01:27:58,556
Leah Forbes

5638
01:27:58,556 --> 01:27:58,890
directly about this

5639
01:27:58,890 --> 01:28:00,425
and

5640
01:28:00,425 --> 01:28:01,260
she's disregarded the fact

5641
01:28:01,260 --> 01:28:02,961
that the laws have changed

5642
01:28:02,961 --> 01:28:03,228
. And

5643
01:28:03,228 --> 01:28:05,228
um

5644
01:28:05,497 --> 01:28:07,466
Properties all over the

5645
01:28:07,466 --> 01:28:08,199
county are being determined

5646
01:28:08,199 --> 01:28:09,334
wetlands when they're, they

5647
01:28:09,334 --> 01:28:09,568
don't meet

5648
01:28:09,568 --> 01:28:10,340
the

5649
01:28:10,340 --> 01:28:11,170
definition. So

5650
01:28:11,170 --> 01:28:11,970
i

5651
01:28:11,970 --> 01:28:12,470
printed it out for you so you

5652
01:28:12,470 --> 01:28:13,772
could read it

5653
01:28:13,772 --> 01:28:14,106
. I

5654
01:28:14,106 --> 01:28:15,774
also have

5655
01:28:15,774 --> 01:28:16,174
You,

5656
01:28:16,174 --> 01:28:16,742
no, you

5657
01:28:16,742 --> 01:28:18,544
can't build it if your

5658
01:28:18,544 --> 01:28:18,777
house burned down in

5659
01:28:18,777 --> 01:28:19,440
a floodway

5660
01:28:19,440 --> 01:28:20,713
I

5661
01:28:20,713 --> 01:28:21,447
rewrote the codes for you

5662
01:28:21,447 --> 01:28:22,714
just based on the codes that

5663
01:28:22,714 --> 01:28:23,248
are

5664
01:28:23,248 --> 01:28:23,849
already there that gives

5665
01:28:23,849 --> 01:28:25,217
you a yes instead of

5666
01:28:25,217 --> 01:28:25,450
a no

5667
01:28:25,450 --> 01:28:27,118
. Um

5668
01:28:27,118 --> 01:28:27,518
,

5669
01:28:27,518 --> 01:28:27,753
We're in

5670
01:28:27,753 --> 01:28:28,119
a

5671
01:28:28,119 --> 01:28:28,454
unique situation

5672
01:28:28,454 --> 01:28:29,722
where

5673
01:28:29,722 --> 01:28:30,210
This

5674
01:28:30,210 --> 01:28:30,422
was

5675
01:28:30,422 --> 01:28:31,890
all riverbed

5676
01:28:31,890 --> 01:28:32,224
once, so if you

5677
01:28:32,224 --> 01:28:32,757
really want to

5678
01:28:32,757 --> 01:28:34,260
call it a wetland

5679
01:28:34,260 --> 01:28:34,894
, you can, and

5680
01:28:34,894 --> 01:28:36,162
I would like to see

5681
01:28:36,162 --> 01:28:36,829
more

5682
01:28:36,829 --> 01:28:37,263
support for

5683
01:28:37,263 --> 01:28:38,964
our citizens

5684
01:28:38,964 --> 01:28:39,264
. And

5685
01:28:39,264 --> 01:28:40,666
less

5686
01:28:40,666 --> 01:28:41,167
for

5687
01:28:41,167 --> 01:28:43,102
regulatory bodies

5688
01:28:43,102 --> 01:28:43,969
.

5689
01:28:43,969 --> 01:28:47,569
Thank you. Thank you very much

5690
01:28:48,400 --> 01:28:48,507
.

5691
01:28:48,507 --> 01:28:49,742
Anybody else

5692
01:28:49,742 --> 01:28:51,742
? Ok

5693
01:28:56,949 --> 01:28:57,350
. Good morning,

5694
01:28:57,350 --> 01:28:58,651
Ken Dunn

5695
01:28:58,651 --> 01:28:59,685
Vernon

5696
01:28:59,685 --> 01:29:00,953
. Elka can't

5697
01:29:00,953 --> 01:29:01,654
be

5698
01:29:01,654 --> 01:29:01,854
here today. She has done

5699
01:29:01,854 --> 01:29:03,854
a

5700
01:29:04,560 --> 01:29:05,824
remarkable job of getting into

5701
01:29:05,824 --> 01:29:06,580
the reality of best

5702
01:29:06,580 --> 01:29:06,559
facilities

5703
01:29:06,559 --> 01:29:08,610
and the danger

5704
01:29:08,610 --> 01:29:08,494
they

5705
01:29:08,494 --> 01:29:09,940
hold on a

5706
01:29:09,940 --> 01:29:10,195
national level

5707
01:29:10,195 --> 01:29:10,763
, Aaron

5708
01:29:10,763 --> 01:29:12,131
Brockovich is doing

5709
01:29:12,131 --> 01:29:12,632
the same

5710
01:29:12,632 --> 01:29:12,965
regarding data

5711
01:29:12,965 --> 01:29:13,299
centers

5712
01:29:13,299 --> 01:29:14,901
. I tend

5713
01:29:14,901 --> 01:29:15,367
to look around for patterns,

5714
01:29:15,367 --> 01:29:17,690
and there is

5715
01:29:17,690 --> 01:29:17,736
one pattern which

5716
01:29:17,736 --> 01:29:19,400
jumps out at

5717
01:29:19,400 --> 01:29:19,872
a person when

5718
01:29:19,872 --> 01:29:22,174
looking at what is happening in

5719
01:29:22,174 --> 01:29:24,276
the us, that is a pattern of

5720
01:29:24,276 --> 01:29:26,613
callous exploitation of our

5721
01:29:26,613 --> 01:29:26,946
natural resources and of the

5722
01:29:26,946 --> 01:29:28,470
trust

5723
01:29:28,470 --> 01:29:28,480
that

5724
01:29:28,480 --> 01:29:28,814
people are taught in

5725
01:29:28,814 --> 01:29:30,350
schools

5726
01:29:30,350 --> 01:29:30,916
. Or

5727
01:29:30,916 --> 01:29:31,418
government, even to

5728
01:29:31,418 --> 01:29:32,952
the extent

5729
01:29:32,952 --> 01:29:33,453
of infusing our food

5730
01:29:33,453 --> 01:29:35,122
water, soil

5731
01:29:35,122 --> 01:29:35,354
, and

5732
01:29:35,354 --> 01:29:35,588
air

5733
01:29:35,588 --> 01:29:37,156
with

5734
01:29:37,156 --> 01:29:37,824
toxic

5735
01:29:37,824 --> 01:29:39,159
substances. The pattern

5736
01:29:39,159 --> 01:29:39,859
is

5737
01:29:39,859 --> 01:29:40,360
happening concurrently with the

5738
01:29:40,360 --> 01:29:41,794
increasing level

5739
01:29:41,794 --> 01:29:42,262
of

5740
01:29:42,262 --> 01:29:43,663
surveillance

5741
01:29:43,663 --> 01:29:44,640
and control that

5742
01:29:44,640 --> 01:29:44,531
is being

5743
01:29:44,531 --> 01:29:45,998
foisted upon

5744
01:29:45,998 --> 01:29:46,198
us

5745
01:29:46,198 --> 01:29:46,566
. Flock

5746
01:29:46,566 --> 01:29:47,167
cameras

5747
01:29:47,167 --> 01:29:48,568
, digital currency

5748
01:29:48,568 --> 01:29:49,169
,

5749
01:29:49,169 --> 01:29:49,536
electronic monitoring of our

5750
01:29:49,536 --> 01:29:51,400
phones

5751
01:29:51,400 --> 01:29:51,505
, television

5752
01:29:51,505 --> 01:29:52,438
, computers

5753
01:29:52,438 --> 01:29:52,773
,

5754
01:29:52,773 --> 01:29:53,173
cars

5755
01:29:53,173 --> 01:29:53,607
, buying

5756
01:29:53,607 --> 01:29:54,875
habits. It is

5757
01:29:54,875 --> 01:29:55,208
not

5758
01:29:55,208 --> 01:29:55,709
being

5759
01:29:55,709 --> 01:29:57,210
done innocently

5760
01:29:57,210 --> 01:29:57,777
nor

5761
01:29:57,777 --> 01:29:58,378
benevolently. It is a

5762
01:29:58,378 --> 01:29:59,713
calculated tightening

5763
01:29:59,713 --> 01:30:00,247
. Of

5764
01:30:00,247 --> 01:30:01,714
controls by those

5765
01:30:01,714 --> 01:30:02,583
who wield

5766
01:30:02,583 --> 01:30:03,950
them, it would not be a jump

5767
01:30:03,950 --> 01:30:04,651
in

5768
01:30:04,651 --> 01:30:06,253
logic to say that we

5769
01:30:06,253 --> 01:30:06,987
the people

5770
01:30:06,987 --> 01:30:07,254
are evidently seen more likened

5771
01:30:07,254 --> 01:30:08,588
to

5772
01:30:08,588 --> 01:30:08,822
cattle

5773
01:30:08,822 --> 01:30:09,455
than

5774
01:30:09,455 --> 01:30:10,657
human beings

5775
01:30:10,657 --> 01:30:11,725
by

5776
01:30:11,725 --> 01:30:13,192
those behind these actions, and

5777
01:30:13,192 --> 01:30:13,760
there is

5778
01:30:13,760 --> 01:30:13,994
a tech industry which

5779
01:30:13,994 --> 01:30:15,994
is

5780
01:30:16,129 --> 01:30:17,531
profiting mightily from this

5781
01:30:17,531 --> 01:30:18,165
whole

5782
01:30:18,165 --> 01:30:18,532
misbegotten adventure.

5783
01:30:18,532 --> 01:30:19,933
Glenwood

5784
01:30:19,933 --> 01:30:20,868
tried red light

5785
01:30:20,868 --> 01:30:22,769
cameras downtown and had to

5786
01:30:22,769 --> 01:30:23,137
remove them because people were

5787
01:30:23,137 --> 01:30:24,304
avoiding

5788
01:30:24,304 --> 01:30:25,139
the area

5789
01:30:25,139 --> 01:30:25,505
. Businesses

5790
01:30:25,505 --> 01:30:26,607
suffered

5791
01:30:26,607 --> 01:30:26,874
while the

5792
01:30:26,874 --> 01:30:27,574
traffic laws

5793
01:30:27,574 --> 01:30:28,608
are of course essential

5794
01:30:28,608 --> 01:30:29,750
. We

5795
01:30:29,750 --> 01:30:29,777
humans are not

5796
01:30:29,777 --> 01:30:30,911
. Designed

5797
01:30:30,911 --> 01:30:31,677
to

5798
01:30:31,677 --> 01:30:32,120
adhere to the rigid parameters

5799
01:30:32,120 --> 01:30:33,714
which

5800

devices

5803
01:30:36,650 --> 01:30:38,650
impose as individuals

5804
01:30:38,852 --> 01:30:39,153
and as a society, we

5805
01:30:39,153 --> 01:30:40,120
do not

5806
01:30:40,120 --> 01:30:40,487
need

5807
01:30:40,487 --> 01:30:42,487
that

5808
01:30:42,755 --> 01:30:43,257
additional anxiety. I

5809
01:30:43,257 --> 01:30:44,557
get

5810
01:30:44,557 --> 01:30:44,958
notices

5811
01:30:44,958 --> 01:30:45,492
online asking if I

5812
01:30:45,492 --> 01:30:46,860
support Social

5813
01:30:46,860 --> 01:30:47,127
Security

5814
01:30:47,127 --> 01:30:47,728
,

5815
01:30:47,728 --> 01:30:48,863
affordable healthcare

5816
01:30:48,863 --> 01:30:49,330
, or

5817
01:30:49,330 --> 01:30:49,730
removing

5818
01:30:49,730 --> 01:30:50,300
toxic additives to

5819
01:30:50,300 --> 01:30:51,298
food

5820
01:30:51,298 --> 01:30:51,632
and

5821
01:30:51,632 --> 01:30:52,233
water

5822
01:30:52,233 --> 01:30:52,566
. Questions which

5823
01:30:52,566 --> 01:30:54,168
anyone

5824
01:30:54,168 --> 01:30:54,702
not cognitively impaired

5825
01:30:54,702 --> 01:30:55,869
should already know

5826
01:30:55,869 --> 01:30:56,404
the

5827
01:30:56,404 --> 01:30:56,704
answer

5828
01:30:56,704 --> 01:30:58,272
to

5829
01:30:58,272 --> 01:30:58,838
that includes our federal

5830
01:30:58,838 --> 01:31:00,440
and state legislature

5831
01:31:00,440 --> 01:31:01,800
. Leaders,

5832
01:31:01,800 --> 01:31:01,375
you might as well

5833
01:31:01,375 --> 01:31:02,376
be asking

5834
01:31:02,376 --> 01:31:02,844
if

5835
01:31:02,844 --> 01:31:03,544
I support life

5836
01:31:03,544 --> 01:31:04,678
and health

5837
01:31:04,678 --> 01:31:05,212
. I

5838
01:31:05,212 --> 01:31:05,780
have looked into

5839
01:31:05,780 --> 01:31:07,780
the reality of

5840
01:31:07,782 --> 01:31:08,820
the toxins in our food

5841
01:31:08,820 --> 01:31:10,170
and

5842
01:31:10,170 --> 01:31:12,850
water. For me it is a matter of

5843
01:31:12,850 --> 01:31:13,854
Life

5844
01:31:13,854 --> 01:31:14,355
. Um

5845
01:31:14,355 --> 01:31:14,789
, many

5846
01:31:14,789 --> 01:31:16,230
people seem to

5847
01:31:16,230 --> 01:31:16,624
have

5848
01:31:16,624 --> 01:31:17,157
no idea how

5849
01:31:17,157 --> 01:31:18,559
the minuscule

5850
01:31:18,559 --> 01:31:18,926
amounts of

5851
01:31:18,926 --> 01:31:19,327
toxic additives in

5852
01:31:19,327 --> 01:31:20,561
our food

5853
01:31:20,561 --> 01:31:20,861
and

5854
01:31:20,861 --> 01:31:22,730
beverages

5855
01:31:22,730 --> 01:31:23,364
,

5856
01:31:23,364 --> 01:31:23,765
bioaccumulate to become the

5857
01:31:23,765 --> 01:31:25,990
widespread

5858
01:31:25,990 --> 01:31:25,835
sources of

5859
01:31:25,835 --> 01:31:27,802
diminished health and the

5860
01:31:27,802 --> 01:31:28,169
rising prevalence of

5861
01:31:28,169 --> 01:31:29,837
diseases

5862
01:31:29,837 --> 01:31:31,639
including cancers

5863
01:31:31,639 --> 01:31:31,940
. Does that

5864
01:31:31,940 --> 01:31:32,740
mean

5865
01:31:32,740 --> 01:31:34,174
many people are stupid? I

5866
01:31:34,174 --> 01:31:34,709
don't think

5867
01:31:34,709 --> 01:31:35,760
so. I think most

5868
01:31:35,760 --> 01:31:36,311
people

5869
01:31:36,311 --> 01:31:36,677
are

5870
01:31:36,677 --> 01:31:37,277
hardworking, trying

5871
01:31:37,277 --> 01:31:38,546
to raise a family, have

5872
01:31:38,546 --> 01:31:38,847
a

5873
01:31:38,847 --> 01:31:39,120
life

5874
01:31:39,120 --> 01:31:39,380
,

5875
01:31:39,380 --> 01:31:41,490
and are

5876
01:31:41,490 --> 01:31:41,515
counting on the people

5877
01:31:41,515 --> 01:31:41,850
who they have

5878
01:31:41,850 --> 01:31:43,384
elected

5879
01:31:43,384 --> 01:31:43,818
or fund

5880
01:31:43,818 --> 01:31:44,152
to staff

5881
01:31:44,152 --> 01:31:45,587
the offices

5882
01:31:45,587 --> 01:31:46,320
and

5883
01:31:46,320 --> 01:31:47,455
agencies which they have

5884
01:31:47,455 --> 01:31:47,889
been

5885
01:31:47,889 --> 01:31:48,423
told are for

5886
01:31:48,423 --> 01:31:49,824
public service

5887
01:31:49,824 --> 01:31:50,758
and

5888
01:31:50,758 --> 01:31:50,992
protection, counting on them to

5889
01:31:50,992 --> 01:31:52,427
do

5890
01:31:52,427 --> 01:31:52,727
their

5891
01:31:52,727 --> 01:31:53,261
jobs

5892
01:31:53,261 --> 01:31:54,762
. Maybe a lot of

5893
01:31:54,762 --> 01:31:55,263
people are naive

5894
01:31:55,263 --> 01:31:56,531
. But

5895
01:31:56,531 --> 01:31:56,997
the

5896
01:31:56,997 --> 01:31:57,432
corruption

5897
01:31:57,432 --> 01:31:58,799
, the perversion

5898
01:31:58,799 --> 01:31:59,501
, and

5899
01:31:59,501 --> 01:31:59,834
dereliction of duty

5900
01:31:59,834 --> 01:32:01,102
which is

5901
01:32:01,102 --> 01:32:01,770
so

5902
01:32:01,770 --> 01:32:02,304
widespread in national and

5903
01:32:02,304 --> 01:32:03,437
state government

5904
01:32:03,437 --> 01:32:03,905
is

5905
01:32:03,905 --> 01:32:04,405
not

5906
01:32:04,405 --> 01:32:05,540
something

5907
01:32:05,540 --> 01:32:05,774
inherent

5908
01:32:05,774 --> 01:32:06,541
to

5909
01:32:06,541 --> 01:32:08,900
government. It's all

5910
01:32:08,900 --> 01:32:08,610
about

5911
01:32:08,610 --> 01:32:08,770
people and their level

5912
01:32:08,770 --> 01:32:09,110
of

5913
01:32:09,110 --> 01:32:10,178
diligence

5914
01:32:10,178 --> 01:32:10,579
, honor

5915
01:32:10,579 --> 01:32:12,579
, and integrity

5916
01:32:12,780 --> 01:32:15,180
Thank you, thank you

5917
01:32:15,316 --> 01:32:15,617

you

5957
01:32:57,827 --> 01:32:58,600
seem to view

5958
01:32:58,600 --> 01:32:58,394
my

5959
01:32:58,394 --> 01:32:59,862

01:33:02,464 --> 01:33:03,198

that

5966
01:33:04,299 --> 01:33:04,834
you give

5967
01:33:04,834 --> 01:33:05,168
this time to the

5968
01:33:05,168 --> 01:33:07,690
people

5969
01:33:07,690 --> 01:33:07,470
of Skagit County to talk

5970
01:33:07,470 --> 01:33:08,771
to you and

5971
01:33:08,771 --> 01:33:09,204
tell

01:33:09,204 --> 01:33:09,538
you about their

5973
01:33:09,538 --> 01:33:11,538
concerns

5974
01:33:11,540 --> 01:33:13,675
. Uh, I've lived in

5975
01:33:13,675 --> 01:33:13,976
other places where we have not

5976
01:33:13,976 --> 01:33:15,477
had

5977
01:33:15,477 --> 01:33:15,945
that opportunity

5978
01:33:15,945 --> 01:33:16,106
, and

5979
01:33:16,106 --> 01:33:16,345
it

5980
01:33:16,345 --> 01:33:17,580
really

5981
01:33:17,580 --> 01:33:18,213
was

5982
01:33:18,213 --> 01:33:18,880
terrible because a

5983
01:33:18,880 --> 01:33:19,849
lot of things happened

5984
01:33:19,849 --> 01:33:20,516
and they

5985
01:33:20,516 --> 01:33:20,883
said, well, you didn't say

5986
01:33:20,883 --> 01:33:22,351
anything

5987
01:33:22,351 --> 01:33:22,852
. And well

5988
01:33:22,852 --> 01:33:24,153
, people did

5989
01:33:24,153 --> 01:33:24,787
,

5990
01:33:24,787 --> 01:33:25,421
but writing letters sometimes

5991
01:33:25,421 --> 01:33:26,655
doesn't work as well

5992
01:33:26,655 --> 01:33:27,356
as having

5993
01:33:27,356 --> 01:33:28,991
a video that other people

5994
01:33:28,991 --> 01:33:29,891
can

5995
01:33:29,891 --> 01:33:31,427
see posted online, and I want

5996
01:33:31,427 --> 01:33:32,620
to thank you for that

5997
01:33:32,620 --> 01:33:32,328
. Thank

6003
01:33:45,308 --> 01:33:45,641
from

6004
01:33:45,641 --> 01:33:46,776
Bow at

6005
01:33:46,776 --> 01:33:47,610
the

6006
01:33:47,610 --> 01:33:49,412
last public comment period

6007
01:33:49,412 --> 01:33:50,460
on

6008
01:33:50,460 --> 01:33:51,480
8/25. 4 men who

6009
01:33:51,480 --> 01:33:52,140
have spent

6010
01:33:52,140 --> 01:33:53,650
decades working on

6011
01:33:53,650 --> 01:33:53,883
large

6012
01:33:53,883 --> 01:33:54,651
scale

6013
01:33:54,651 --> 01:33:57,200
construction projects here in

6014
01:33:57,200 --> 01:33:57,386
Skagit County gave

6015
01:33:57,386 --> 01:33:57,754
public

6016
01:33:57,754 --> 01:33:58,488
comments

6017
01:33:58,488 --> 01:33:59,550
about issues in the

6018
01:33:59,550 --> 01:34:00,724
planning department

6019
01:34:00,724 --> 01:34:01,524
. And

6020
01:34:01,524 --> 01:34:03,158
someone just did this morning

6021
01:34:03,158 --> 01:34:03,526
.

6022
01:34:03,526 --> 01:34:04,928
One of

6023
01:34:04,928 --> 01:34:05,428
the

6024
01:34:05,428 --> 01:34:05,595
contractors named

6025
01:34:05,595 --> 01:34:07,497
a

6026
01:34:07,497 --> 01:34:07,963
few planning department

6027
01:34:07,963 --> 01:34:09,598
employees by

6028
01:34:09,598 --> 01:34:10,467
name in

6029
01:34:10,467 --> 01:34:11,901
direct

6030
01:34:11,901 --> 01:34:12,201
contrast to

6031
01:34:12,201 --> 01:34:12,801
when

6032
01:34:12,801 --> 01:34:13,690
Anthony Romano

6033
01:34:13,690 --> 01:34:14,370
does

6034
01:34:14,370 --> 01:34:14,470
it

6035
01:34:14,470 --> 01:34:14,838
. No point of

6036
01:34:14,838 --> 01:34:16,406
order was

6037
01:34:16,406 --> 01:34:16,773
called by any of

6038
01:34:16,773 --> 01:34:17,407
the

6039
01:34:17,407 --> 01:34:18,341
commissioners. It wasn't

6040
01:34:18,341 --> 01:34:18,608
called

6041
01:34:18,608 --> 01:34:19,375
this

6042
01:34:19,375 --> 01:34:19,675
morning either. I'm glad

6043
01:34:19,675 --> 01:34:20,777
that

6044
01:34:20,777 --> 01:34:21,770
you

6045
01:34:21,770 --> 01:34:21,544
did

6046
01:34:21,544 --> 01:34:22,678
not violate

6047
01:34:22,678 --> 01:34:23,513
his

6048
01:34:23,513 --> 01:34:23,914
rights like you continue to do

6049
01:34:23,914 --> 01:34:25,148
each time

6050
01:34:25,148 --> 01:34:25,381
you

6051
01:34:25,381 --> 01:34:25,551
stop

6052
01:34:25,551 --> 01:34:26,216
Anthony

6053
01:34:26,216 --> 01:34:27,551
Romano from saying any

6054
01:34:27,551 --> 01:34:28,351
county

6055
01:34:28,351 --> 01:34:29,719
employee's

6056
01:34:29,719 --> 01:34:30,530
name after

6057
01:34:30,530 --> 01:34:30,821
the

6058
01:34:30,821 --> 01:34:32,155
meeting adjourned

6059
01:34:32,155 --> 01:34:32,722
, everyone

6060
01:34:32,722 --> 01:34:34,390
left except for the 4

6061
01:34:34,390 --> 01:34:35,158
.

6062
01:34:35,158 --> 01:34:37,194
Construction bosses, while all

6063
01:34:37,194 --> 01:34:38,995
three commissioners sat in

6064
01:34:38,995 --> 01:34:39,396
their seats. So

6065
01:34:39,396 --> 01:34:39,630
did

6066
01:34:39,630 --> 01:34:39,996
I

6067
01:34:39,996 --> 01:34:41,996
, because

6068
01:34:43,467 --> 01:34:43,800
When a quorum

6069
01:34:43,800 --> 01:34:44,301
of commissioners

6070
01:34:44,301 --> 01:34:45,636
meets with any

6071
01:34:45,636 --> 01:34:46,303
citizen to

6072
01:34:46,303 --> 01:34:47,604
discuss county business

6073
01:34:47,604 --> 01:34:48,380
, it is

6074
01:34:48,380 --> 01:34:48,572
officially a

6075
01:34:48,572 --> 01:34:49,873
public meeting

6076
01:34:49,873 --> 01:34:50,407
. A

6077
01:34:50,407 --> 01:34:50,807
30

6078
01:34:50,807 --> 01:34:52,241
of

6079
01:34:52,241 --> 01:34:52,475
what

6080
01:34:52,475 --> 01:34:52,976
those

6081
01:34:52,976 --> 01:34:54,178
four

6082
01:34:54,178 --> 01:34:54,611
men

6083
01:34:54,611 --> 01:34:55,110
thought the

6084
01:34:55,110 --> 01:34:55,312
commissioner should

6085
01:34:55,312 --> 01:34:57,312
do to

6086
01:34:57,547 --> 01:34:59,249
fix long permitting times

6087
01:34:59,249 --> 01:35:01,170
included specific

6088
01:35:01,170 --> 01:35:01,785
personnel

6089
01:35:01,785 --> 01:35:02,119
changes, and even an offer to

6090
01:35:02,119 --> 01:35:03,887
pay for

6091
01:35:03,887 --> 01:35:04,470
staff overtime. It

6092
01:35:04,470 --> 01:35:04,521
sure

6093
01:35:04,521 --> 01:35:05,856
must be nice

6094
01:35:05,856 --> 01:35:06,900
to have

6095
01:35:06,900 --> 01:35:06,456
a

6096
01:35:06,456 --> 01:35:07,240
private

6097
01:35:07,240 --> 01:35:08,158
public meeting with

6098
01:35:08,158 --> 01:35:08,592
the

6099
01:35:08,592 --> 01:35:08,893
commissioners

6100
01:35:08,893 --> 01:35:10,127
, not

6101
01:35:10,127 --> 01:35:10,594
recorded and

6102
01:35:10,594 --> 01:35:11,280
staff all

6103
01:35:11,280 --> 01:35:11,362
gone. Speaking of

6104
01:35:11,362 --> 01:35:12,762
staff

6105
01:35:12,762 --> 01:35:13,300
. I

6106
01:35:13,300 --> 01:35:14,732
wonder

6107
01:35:14,732 --> 01:35:15,332
what message

6108
01:35:15,332 --> 01:35:15,866
they get when they see this

6109
01:35:15,866 --> 01:35:17,200
type of breach

6110
01:35:17,200 --> 01:35:17,501
of

6111
01:35:17,501 --> 01:35:18,340
protocol does

6112
01:35:18,340 --> 01:35:19,370
it put them in a

6113
01:35:19,370 --> 01:35:19,603
hard

6114
01:35:19,603 --> 01:35:20,300
position

6115
01:35:20,300 --> 01:35:22,300
ethically

6116
01:35:22,390 --> 01:35:22,506
. Regarding

6117
01:35:22,506 --> 01:35:23,974
Anthony

6118
01:35:23,974 --> 01:35:24,442
Romano's outburst

6119
01:35:24,442 --> 01:35:24,609
on

6120
01:35:24,609 --> 01:35:24,942
8-11-26

6121
01:35:24,942 --> 01:35:26,100
when

6122
01:35:26,100 --> 01:35:26,410
he

6123
01:35:26,410 --> 01:35:27,430
claimed Commissioner

6124
01:35:27,430 --> 01:35:28,790
Browning was smirking

6125
01:35:28,790 --> 01:35:28,412
at

6126
01:35:28,412 --> 01:35:28,678
him

6127
01:35:28,678 --> 01:35:28,980
.

6128
01:35:28,980 --> 01:35:30,480
He

6129
01:35:30,480 --> 01:35:30,880
was

6130
01:35:30,880 --> 01:35:32,880
100% correct

6131
01:35:33,117 --> 01:35:33,718
.

6132
01:35:33,718 --> 01:35:34,652
Commissioner Browning

6133
01:35:34,652 --> 01:35:35,419
has a

6134
01:35:35,419 --> 01:35:37,120
history of doing just that

6135
01:35:37,120 --> 01:35:37,588
to

6136
01:35:37,588 --> 01:35:38,890
Anthony. In

6137
01:35:38,890 --> 01:35:39,557
fact, last

6138
01:35:39,557 --> 01:35:39,790
year

6139
01:35:39,790 --> 01:35:40,158
I

6140
01:35:40,158 --> 01:35:41,759
spoke

6141
01:35:41,759 --> 01:35:42,426
privately with

6142
01:35:42,426 --> 01:35:42,793
Commissioner Browning about the

6143
01:35:42,793 --> 01:35:43,994
fact that

6144
01:35:43,994 --> 01:35:44,629
he

6145
01:35:44,629 --> 01:35:45,950
glares smirks,

6146
01:35:45,950 --> 01:35:46,363
grins, etc

6147
01:35:46,363 --> 01:35:46,597
. At Anthony

6148
01:35:46,597 --> 01:35:47,131
, while

6149
01:35:47,131 --> 01:35:48,799
Anthony is sitting

6150
01:35:48,799 --> 01:35:48,958
. I did

6151
01:35:48,958 --> 01:35:49,534
so

6152
01:35:49,534 --> 01:35:50,834
because I believe it

6153
01:35:50,834 --> 01:35:51,469
is

6154
01:35:51,469 --> 01:35:51,903
unprofessional and could be a

6155
01:35:51,903 --> 01:35:53,704
safety issue

6156
01:35:53,704 --> 01:35:54,380
. Commissioner

6157
01:35:54,380 --> 01:35:55,306
Browning

6158
01:35:55,306 --> 01:35:55,874
admitted

6159
01:35:55,874 --> 01:35:56,174
to me

6160
01:35:56,174 --> 01:35:57,975
that he

6161
01:35:57,975 --> 01:35:58,442
does this and he said he did so

6162
01:35:58,442 --> 01:36:00,780
in hopes

6163
01:36:00,780 --> 01:36:00,844
that Anthony would

6164
01:36:00,844 --> 01:36:02,981
make himself look like an idiot

6165
01:36:02,981 --> 01:36:04,582
I told

6166
01:36:04,582 --> 01:36:05,416
Commissioner Browning

6167
01:36:05,416 --> 01:36:06,784
that he had better professional

6168
01:36:06,784 --> 01:36:07,252
skills to

6169
01:36:07,252 --> 01:36:07,414
use instead, and

6170
01:36:07,414 --> 01:36:07,652
then

6171
01:36:07,652 --> 01:36:09,420
if

6172
01:36:09,420 --> 01:36:09,687
anything bad was to happen,

6173
01:36:09,687 --> 01:36:10,822
I'd

6174
01:36:10,822 --> 01:36:11,423
be

6175
01:36:11,423 --> 01:36:13,423
testifying that

6176
01:36:13,458 --> 01:36:13,858
Commissioner

6177
01:36:13,858 --> 01:36:15,858
Browning

6178
01:36:15,927 --> 01:36:17,862
antagonizes Anthony

6179
01:36:17,862 --> 01:36:18,262
. Imagine

6180
01:36:18,262 --> 01:36:18,663
having your

6181
01:36:18,663 --> 01:36:20,310
violated

6182
01:36:20,310 --> 01:36:20,432
when you

6183
01:36:20,432 --> 01:36:20,865
mention an

6184
01:36:20,865 --> 01:36:21,166
employee's name and

6185
01:36:21,166 --> 01:36:23,166
then

6186
01:36:23,168 --> 01:36:23,468
having the

6187
01:36:23,468 --> 01:36:23,801
commissioner

6188
01:36:23,801 --> 01:36:24,603
that

6189
01:36:24,603 --> 01:36:25,170
does that smirk

6190
01:36:25,170 --> 01:36:27,400
at you. I

6191
01:36:27,400 --> 01:36:27,505
will call it

6192
01:36:27,505 --> 01:36:27,806
out each and

6193
01:36:27,806 --> 01:36:29,374
every

6194
01:36:29,374 --> 01:36:29,741
time one of you

6195
01:36:29,741 --> 01:36:30,410
or all of you,

6196
01:36:30,410 --> 01:36:31,142
and

6197
01:36:31,142 --> 01:36:31,842
I

6198
01:36:31,842 --> 01:36:32,511
wish Commissioner Burns

6199
01:36:32,511 --> 01:36:33,444
was here

6200
01:36:33,444 --> 01:36:33,745
. Uh

6201
01:36:33,745 --> 01:36:33,978
, when

6202
01:36:33,978 --> 01:36:34,279
you

6203
01:36:34,279 --> 01:36:34,780
violate

6204
01:36:34,780 --> 01:36:36,148
citizens' rights

6205
01:36:36,148 --> 01:36:36,681
, and I should

6206
01:36:36,681 --> 01:36:37,949
not have to be

6207
01:36:37,949 --> 01:36:38,216
the

6208
01:36:38,216 --> 01:36:39,510
one who

6209
01:36:39,510 --> 01:36:40,352
calls that out. You need to

6210
01:36:40,352 --> 01:36:41,219
hold

6211
01:36:41,219 --> 01:36:42,854
each other accountable. If

6212
01:36:42,854 --> 01:36:43,880
you just

6213
01:36:43,880 --> 01:36:43,422
sit

6214
01:36:43,422 --> 01:36:45,156
there while

6215
01:36:45,156 --> 01:36:45,757
another commissioner is

6216
01:36:45,757 --> 01:36:46,123
professionally or legally out

6217
01:36:46,123 --> 01:36:47,492
of bounds

6218
01:36:47,492 --> 01:36:47,693
. Then you

6219
01:36:47,693 --> 01:36:49,693
are

6220
01:36:49,861 --> 01:36:51,930
condoning bad behaviors or a

6221
01:36:51,930 --> 01:36:52,464
rights violation and

6222
01:36:52,464 --> 01:36:52,864
are

6223
01:36:52,864 --> 01:36:54,399
complicit

6224
01:36:54,399 --> 01:36:55,968
. Every

6225
01:36:55,968 --> 01:36:56,601
Skagittonian

6226
01:36:56,601 --> 01:36:57,680
deserves respectful and lawful

6227
01:36:57,680 --> 01:36:58,136
treatment from

6228
01:36:58,136 --> 01:36:58,737
our

6229
01:36:58,737 --> 01:36:59,171

01:36:59,171 --> 01:36:59,438
peons, as well

6231
01:36:59,438 --> 01:37:00,639
as

6232
01:37:00,639 --> 01:37:00,939
the movers

6233
01:37:00,939 --> 01:37:01,306
and

6234
01:37:01,306 --> 01:37:02,474
shakers

6235
01:37:02,474 --> 01:37:03,108
.

6236
01:37:03,108 --> 01:37:05,210
Thank you. Thank you

6237
01:37:05,210 --> 01:37:07,210

01:37:08,147 --> 01:37:09,548
Yeah, hi, I'm

6244
01:37:11,650 --> 01:37:11,984

01:37:11,984 --> 01:37:12,384
today

6246
01:37:12,384 --> 01:37:13,180
, commissioners? Hope

6247
01:37:13,180 --> 01:37:14,190
you're doing really good

6248
01:37:14,190 --> 01:37:14,653
.

6249
01:37:14,653 --> 01:37:14,987
Anyway, I've got the bad news

6250
01:37:14,987 --> 01:37:16,589

6256
01:37:21,927 --> 01:37:23,863
worked for Saunder's Group

6257
01:37:23,863 --> 01:37:24,960
. Uh,

6258
01:37:24,960 --> 01:37:26,960

6259
01:37:26,164 --> 01:37:28,564
Doing some nasty things

6260
01:37:29,601 --> 01:37:30,401
.

6261
01:37:30,401 --> 01:37:30,770
Speaking of nasty things, uh,

6262
01:37:30,770 --> 01:37:32,304

6263
01:37:32,304 --> 01:37:32,938

6271
01:37:38,844 --> 01:37:39,111

6272
01:37:39,111 --> 01:37:39,579

6284
01:37:49,921 --> 01:37:50,256

01:37:52,758 --> 01:37:54,427
Ok

01:37:56,829 --> 01:37:57,362
no way

6293
01:37:57,362 --> 01:37:58,300
in hell. I

01:37:58,300 --> 01:37:59,265

6295
01:37:59,265 --> 01:38:01,265

Right here in Bert Hoff's name.

These are

6313
01:38:17,116 --> 01:38:17,450

01:38:32,999 --> 01:38:33,366
sheriffs

6332
01:38:33,366 --> 01:38:33,900
and then

6333
01:38:33,900 --> 01:38:35,502
the Ford's

01:38:35,502 --> 01:38:35,702
son who's the fire

6335
01:38:35,702 --> 01:38:36,102

01:38:36,102 --> 01:38:37,236
commissioner

6337
01:38:37,236 --> 01:38:37,470
that I

6338
01:38:37,470 --> 01:38:37,771
just found

6339
01:38:37,771 --> 01:38:38,271
out

6340
01:38:38,271 --> 01:38:39,672
. Who's

6341
01:38:39,672 --> 01:38:40,340
hand in hand with

6342
01:38:40,340 --> 01:38:40,607
the cops, no wonder why the

6343
01:38:40,607 --> 01:38:41,842
cops

6344
01:38:41,842 --> 01:38:42,375
are

6345
01:38:42,375 --> 01:38:42,809
harassing me and

6346
01:38:42,809 --> 01:38:43,910
following

01:38:43,910 --> 01:38:44,177

6348
01:38:44,177 --> 01:38:44,811
and

6349
01:38:44,811 --> 01:38:46,811
uh around and

6350
01:38:46,880 --> 01:38:49,149
stalking me and everything else

6351
01:38:49,149 --> 01:38:49,349
And I've got all the

6352
01:38:49,349 --> 01:38:49,716
paperwork

6353
01:38:49,716 --> 01:38:51,551
to prove

6354
01:38:51,551 --> 01:38:51,952
That my place was a

6355
01:38:51,952 --> 01:38:53,687
homestead

6356
01:38:53,687 --> 01:38:55,589
. And that

6357
01:38:55,589 --> 01:38:56,123
Danny Hagan

6358
01:38:56,123 --> 01:38:57,491
which I got him

6359
01:38:57,491 --> 01:38:57,658
on

6360
01:38:57,658 --> 01:38:58,291
voice

6361
01:38:58,291 --> 01:38:58,692
recording and I told him I was

6362
01:38:58,692 --> 01:38:59,759
recording

6363
01:38:59,759 --> 01:39:00,127
, so

6364
01:39:00,127 --> 01:39:00,761
it's legal. I

6365
01:39:00,761 --> 01:39:02,229
asked him what he did

6366
01:39:02,229 --> 01:39:02,387
with

6367
01:39:02,387 --> 01:39:03,630
my

6368
01:39:03,630 --> 01:39:04,498
homestead and heritage rights

6369
01:39:04,498 --> 01:39:05,265
.

6370
01:39:05,265 --> 01:39:07,000
Papers that I gave him. He said

6371
01:39:07,000 --> 01:39:07,301
he recycled them

6372
01:39:07,301 --> 01:39:08,535
. Which

6373
01:39:08,535 --> 01:39:08,902
is

6374
01:39:08,902 --> 01:39:10,902
illegal

6375
01:39:11,371 --> 01:39:13,371
. 2

6376
01:39:13,606 --> 01:39:14,374
I can prove and show

6377
01:39:14,374 --> 01:39:15,743
beyond a reasonable doubt

6378
01:39:15,743 --> 01:39:16,343
that

6379
01:39:16,343 --> 01:39:16,710
the auditors have been

6380
01:39:16,710 --> 01:39:17,844
switching

6381
01:39:17,844 --> 01:39:18,278
numbers up because

6382
01:39:18,278 --> 01:39:18,779
there was a

6383
01:39:18,779 --> 01:39:20,347
legal document done

6384
01:39:20,347 --> 01:39:22,347
at Chicago Title

6385
01:39:24,884 --> 01:39:25,719
. 763-596 is

6386
01:39:25,719 --> 01:39:26,954
the faulty number that they put

6387
01:39:26,954 --> 01:39:27,521
on

6388
01:39:27,521 --> 01:39:27,788
there. The number should

6389
01:39:27,788 --> 01:39:29,788
have

6390
01:39:30,123 --> 01:39:31,726
been 7763556, which is the

6391
01:39:31,726 --> 01:39:32,293
development rights

6392
01:39:32,293 --> 01:39:33,627
. Which

6393
01:39:33,627 --> 01:39:34,328
the

6394
01:39:34,328 --> 01:39:34,594
heritage rights have, which is

6395
01:39:34,594 --> 01:39:36,960
the

6396
01:39:36,960 --> 01:39:36,697
homestead rights and the

6397
01:39:36,697 --> 01:39:37,640
whole damn area because f.

6398
01:39:37,640 --> 01:39:38,232
Schuler

6399
01:39:38,232 --> 01:39:38,732
, snl

6400
01:39:38,732 --> 01:39:39,333
logging owned the

6401
01:39:39,333 --> 01:39:41,333
whole fricking area

6402
01:39:44,772 --> 01:39:46,772
. So

6403

01:43:01,338 --> 01:43:01,804
, flood

6603
01:43:01,804 --> 01:43:02,973
inundation maps

6604
01:43:02,973 --> 01:43:03,240
, the

6605
01:43:03,240 --> 01:43:04,740
Mount

6606
01:43:04,740 --> 01:43:04,341
Vernon Commons talking about

6607
01:43:04,341 --> 01:43:05,608
they

6608
01:43:05,608 --> 01:43:06,109
had a bunch of different

6609
01:43:06,109 --> 01:43:07,378
maps there would

6610
01:43:07,378 --> 01:43:07,677
would

6611
01:43:07,677 --> 01:43:08,378
have

6612
01:43:08,378 --> 01:43:09,813
10-year flood event or

6613
01:43:09,813 --> 01:43:10,313
25 or 50

6614
01:43:10,313 --> 01:43:10,781
year or 80 year

6615
01:43:10,781 --> 01:43:11,882
flood event

6616
01:43:11,882 --> 01:43:12,549
was

6617
01:43:12,549 --> 01:43:12,983
very interesting. A lot of

6618
01:43:12,983 --> 01:43:14,151
information

6619
01:43:14,151 --> 01:43:14,551
there

6620
01:43:14,551 --> 01:43:15,510
, um, with the

6621
01:43:15,510 --> 01:43:16,485
Army Corps has

6622
01:43:16,485 --> 01:43:16,820
been

6623
01:43:16,820 --> 01:43:17,540
mapping

6624
01:43:17,540 --> 01:43:17,721
the

6625
01:43:17,721 --> 01:43:18,789
data information and

6626
01:43:18,789 --> 01:43:19,220
now

6627
01:43:19,220 --> 01:43:19,589
let

6628
01:43:19,589 --> 01:43:20,991
the said Sky

6629
01:43:20,991 --> 01:43:21,625
River System

6630
01:43:21,625 --> 01:43:21,792
Cooperatives made that

6631
01:43:21,792 --> 01:43:22,192
.

6632
01:43:22,192 --> 01:43:23,961
Information

6633
01:43:23,961 --> 01:43:24,628
available, the

6634
01:43:24,628 --> 01:43:24,927
county is not going to be able

6635
01:43:24,927 --> 01:43:25,662
to go

6636
01:43:25,662 --> 01:43:25,962
back and look at that

6637
01:43:25,962 --> 01:43:26,430
data

6638
01:43:26,430 --> 01:43:27,898
and

6639
01:43:27,898 --> 01:43:28,532
understand what went

6640
01:43:28,532 --> 01:43:28,899
into the model when they came

6641
01:43:28,899 --> 01:43:30,234
up with

6642
01:43:30,234 --> 01:43:30,767
those different data

6643
01:43:30,767 --> 01:43:32,350
points, but it was

6644
01:43:32,350 --> 01:43:32,535
a very

6645
01:43:32,535 --> 01:43:33,270
important that people

6646
01:43:33,270 --> 01:43:34,704
understand that we live in a

6647
01:43:34,704 --> 01:43:35,238
delta area

6648
01:43:35,238 --> 01:43:35,539
here and the river

6649
01:43:35,539 --> 01:43:37,341
comes

6650
01:43:37,341 --> 01:43:37,974
through and we

6651
01:43:37,974 --> 01:43:39,343
potentially have floods

6652
01:43:39,343 --> 01:43:39,977
. And

6653
01:43:39,977 --> 01:43:41,278
this helps people

6654
01:43:41,278 --> 01:43:41,979
understand

6655
01:43:41,979 --> 01:43:44,114
those issues coming forward

6656
01:43:44,114 --> 01:43:44,614
.

6657
01:43:44,614 --> 01:43:45,648
That's about all

6658
01:43:45,648 --> 01:43:46,617
I have. Like I

6659
01:43:46,617 --> 01:43:47,818
said before, MR. Burns is gone

6660
01:43:47,818 --> 01:43:48,419
.

6661
01:43:48,419 --> 01:43:49,190
So with that, if

6662
01:43:49,190 --> 01:43:50,120
nothing else

6663
01:43:50,120 --> 01:43:50,788
,

6664
01:43:50,788 --> 01:43:51,540
we're adjourned. Thank you very

6665
01:43:51,540 --> 01:43:53,540
much

6666
01:44:02,433 --> 01:44:04,433
t

6667
01:44:04,534 --> 01:44:05,000
federal law, and so we were
