40
00:02:51,300 --> 00:02:52,860

41
00:02:52,860 --> 00:02:55,440
presentations

42
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:58,800
uh I told you we'd get to you quick the

43
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:02,809
floor is yours

00:03:02,819 --> 00:03:04,560
thank you all can you hear me okay or do

45
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:06,000
I need them

46
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:07,500
I've already been down a little bit

47
00:03:07,500 --> 00:03:09,440
better online

48
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:11,940
sorry thank you

49
00:03:11,940 --> 00:03:13,680
um my name is Emily Byers I'm the

50
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:15,000
partner in charge on your audit

51
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:16,980
engagement I appreciate the opportunity

52
00:03:16,980 --> 00:03:19,860
to present to you all tonight

53
00:03:19,860 --> 00:03:22,019
um for those of you mostly familiar

54
00:03:22,019 --> 00:03:23,640
faces I think that have had the pleasure

55
00:03:23,640 --> 00:03:25,140
or perhaps the pain of sitting through

56
00:03:25,140 --> 00:03:27,300
this presentation before I thought we'd

57
00:03:27,300 --> 00:03:28,860
do things just a little bit differently

58
00:03:28,860 --> 00:03:32,519
we did bring or I did bring a hard copy

59
00:03:32,519 --> 00:03:35,159
of the audit reports with us um through

60
00:03:35,159 --> 00:03:37,920
over behind Lisa so you can grab a hard

61
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:39,840
copy after the presentation or after the

62
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:41,940
meeting tonight I think you already have

63
00:03:41,940 --> 00:03:43,560
an electronic copy but I thought we

64
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:44,940
would just walk through the smaller

65
00:03:44,940 --> 00:03:46,680
presentation file that I handed out

66
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:49,140
before the meeting started

67
00:03:49,140 --> 00:03:52,200
so we'll jump straight to page two of

68
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:54,180
the presentation file

69
00:03:54,180 --> 00:03:56,099
this essentially just goes over the

70
00:03:56,099 --> 00:03:57,480
three different types of Auditors

71
00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:59,280
reports that are included in your

72
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:01,860
financial statements the first report is

73
00:04:01,860 --> 00:04:04,440
the independent Auditor's report this is

74
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:06,239
essentially where we State whether we

75
00:04:06,239 --> 00:04:07,860
think the numbers is presented are

76
00:04:07,860 --> 00:04:09,540
materially correct in accordance with

77
00:04:09,540 --> 00:04:11,340
generally accepted accounting principles

78
00:04:11,340 --> 00:04:13,500
if you guys have a clean and modified

79
00:04:13,500 --> 00:04:15,060
opinion that just means that we think

80
00:04:15,060 --> 00:04:16,560
that the numbers as shown in the report

81
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:18,780
and all the related disclosures are in

82
00:04:18,780 --> 00:04:21,180
fact materially correct in accordance

83
00:04:21,180 --> 00:04:23,639
with all of the applicable standards

84
00:04:23,639 --> 00:04:25,500
the next type of Auditor's report

85
00:04:25,500 --> 00:04:27,900
relates to compliance and other matters

86
00:04:27,900 --> 00:04:29,639
this is what I usually call the yellow

87
00:04:29,639 --> 00:04:31,860
book report here we take a look at

88
00:04:31,860 --> 00:04:33,780
internal controls and we let you know if

89
00:04:33,780 --> 00:04:35,580
there are any significant deficiencies

90
00:04:35,580 --> 00:04:38,220
or material weaknesses we also take a

91
00:04:38,220 --> 00:04:39,900
look at compliance related matters that

92
00:04:39,900 --> 00:04:41,820
the auditor of Public Accounts for

93
00:04:41,820 --> 00:04:43,620
Virginia tells us that we're required to

94
00:04:43,620 --> 00:04:45,720
test to make sure that you're compliant

95
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,240
with the code of Virginia we had no

96
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,880
material compliance related matters as

97
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,820
part of our procedures we did have audit

98
00:04:53,820 --> 00:04:55,440
adjustments that were proposed as part

99
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:57,240
of our procedures to make sure that the

100
00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:58,560
numbers were in accordance with

101
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:01,020
accounting principles so that is

102
00:05:01,020 --> 00:05:03,240
included in your report that's not an

103
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:04,860
uncommon finding it's been in the report

104
00:05:04,860 --> 00:05:07,560
for a couple of years now I think

105
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:09,660
um the standards of the standards have

106
00:05:09,660 --> 00:05:12,060
gotten very complex your reporting time

107
00:05:12,060 --> 00:05:14,160
frame is limited meet the deadline of

108
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:17,400
December 15th so it's not really an

109
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:19,860
audit concern per se but we are required

110
00:05:19,860 --> 00:05:22,620
to include it in the report

111
00:05:22,620 --> 00:05:24,120
um the last type of Auditor's report

112
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,340
that's included relates to uniform

113
00:05:26,340 --> 00:05:27,419
guidance

114
00:05:27,419 --> 00:05:30,960
because you receive and expend over 750

115
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,060
000 in federal funds every year you're

116
00:05:33,060 --> 00:05:35,699
required to undergo a single audit

117
00:05:35,699 --> 00:05:37,020
um so here's sort of like the yellow

118
00:05:37,020 --> 00:05:38,940
book report we take a look at internal

119
00:05:38,940 --> 00:05:40,199
control related to those Federal

120
00:05:40,199 --> 00:05:42,900
programs and then compliance related

121
00:05:42,900 --> 00:05:44,940
items so you guys have a clean

122
00:05:44,940 --> 00:05:47,100
unmodified opinion related to uniform

123
00:05:47,100 --> 00:05:48,660
guidance that just means we didn't have

124
00:05:48,660 --> 00:05:50,460
any non-compliance or any internal

125
00:05:50,460 --> 00:05:52,560
control related matters for the federal

126
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,620
programs that were tested

127
00:05:55,620 --> 00:05:59,060
on page three is a general fund summary

128
00:05:59,060 --> 00:06:01,800
this will match exhibit five of your

129
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:03,900
report once you get a hard copy or the

130
00:06:03,900 --> 00:06:05,580
electronic copy if you've reviewed it

131
00:06:05,580 --> 00:06:07,979
essentially this is the income statement

132
00:06:07,979 --> 00:06:10,320
for the general fund on a modified basis

133
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:12,600
of accounting it's scheduled out for the

134
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:14,699
last five years so that you can see how

135
00:06:14,699 --> 00:06:16,680
revenues or expenditures have either

136
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:18,960
grown or declined you've got an

137
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,539
annualized compounded growth rate off to

138
00:06:21,539 --> 00:06:23,160
the side that's meant to smooth the

139
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:25,080
effects of any outlying transactions

140
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,539
that occur in any given year so that you

141
00:06:27,539 --> 00:06:29,340
can see incrementally how those numbers

142
00:06:29,340 --> 00:06:32,039
have grown or declined

143
00:06:32,039 --> 00:06:34,199
um I'll try not to get too much into the

144
00:06:34,199 --> 00:06:35,819
numbers I know that I could probably

145
00:06:35,819 --> 00:06:37,199
talk about them for hours but nobody

146
00:06:37,199 --> 00:06:39,720
really wants to listen to that I'm sure

147
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:41,160
um so I just thought I would point out a

148
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:42,900
few things to you

149
00:06:42,900 --> 00:06:44,460
um you will see that intergovernmental

150
00:06:44,460 --> 00:06:46,199
revenues went up pretty significantly in

151
00:06:46,199 --> 00:06:50,060
22 from 2018 but it was down from 2021

152
00:06:50,060 --> 00:06:52,919
that's the cares and arpa funding last

153
00:06:52,919 --> 00:06:55,020
year you had five million of cares funds

154
00:06:55,020 --> 00:06:57,660
that you received and expended in 22 you

155
00:06:57,660 --> 00:07:00,419
had 1.5 million of arpa funds I expect

156
00:07:00,419 --> 00:07:01,919
that that number will go up as you

157
00:07:01,919 --> 00:07:03,960
continue to utilize the arpa funds that

158
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:07,189
are that you've received

159
00:07:07,199 --> 00:07:09,419
um the only other thing that I really

160
00:07:09,419 --> 00:07:11,160
wanted to talk about on this page is

161
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:13,259
down towards the bottom with the yellow

162
00:07:13,259 --> 00:07:15,479
highlight and the blue Highlight

163
00:07:15,479 --> 00:07:17,759
we've calculated your reserve balances

164
00:07:17,759 --> 00:07:19,860
you probably remember that when we look

165
00:07:19,860 --> 00:07:21,060
at your reserves we look at your

166
00:07:21,060 --> 00:07:22,919
unassigned fund balance and then your

167
00:07:22,919 --> 00:07:25,259
cash balances as it relates to

168
00:07:25,259 --> 00:07:27,300
expenditures we take the general fund

169
00:07:27,300 --> 00:07:28,979
expenditures plus the school fund

170
00:07:28,979 --> 00:07:31,080
expenditures take out the transfer in

171
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:32,280
between so that it doesn't get

172
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:34,380
duplicated and then you've got your

173
00:07:34,380 --> 00:07:35,940
reserve balances down there at the

174
00:07:35,940 --> 00:07:38,819
bottom gfoa recommends that you have two

175
00:07:38,819 --> 00:07:41,460
months of reserves on hand that's about

176
00:07:41,460 --> 00:07:44,520
16 17 percent so you can see that you're

177
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:47,400
just over those Reserve balances and you

178
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:49,139
can also see which I was pretty

179
00:07:49,139 --> 00:07:51,900
pleasantly surprised that over the last

180
00:07:51,900 --> 00:07:53,759
five years those balances have grown

181
00:07:53,759 --> 00:07:56,340
incrementally every year that's what we

182
00:07:56,340 --> 00:07:59,039
like to see I tend to be risk-averse so

183
00:07:59,039 --> 00:08:00,360
I would prefer that those balances

184
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:02,039
continue to grow just a little bit more

185
00:08:02,039 --> 00:08:04,440
but um you know I like to see that

186
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:08,099
they're growing step by step every year

187
00:08:08,099 --> 00:08:09,780
um what can help lead to that you'll

188
00:08:09,780 --> 00:08:11,940
notice your revenues are slightly

189
00:08:11,940 --> 00:08:13,800
outpacing your exposure so that's

190
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:15,599
helping to incrementally grow that fund

191
00:08:15,599 --> 00:08:17,880
balance every year

192
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:20,099
um one thing I wanted to mention on this

193
00:08:20,099 --> 00:08:22,199
page if you try to tie your cash and

194
00:08:22,199 --> 00:08:24,360
investment balance to the report itself

195
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:27,599
it's not going to tie that's because in

196
00:08:27,599 --> 00:08:29,460
this presentation I took out the

197
00:08:29,460 --> 00:08:31,979
unearned arpa funds that you've received

198
00:08:31,979 --> 00:08:33,779
but haven't extended yet because that

199
00:08:33,779 --> 00:08:36,539
kind of inflates your cash balances so

200
00:08:36,539 --> 00:08:38,520
they don't match but that is intentional

201
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:40,800
and you can see that your cash balances

202
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:42,899
and your unassigned fund balance as a

203
00:08:42,899 --> 00:08:44,580
percent of expenditures are kind of

204
00:08:44,580 --> 00:08:46,260
growing hand in hand and trending

205
00:08:46,260 --> 00:08:49,740
together just like we would expect

206
00:08:49,740 --> 00:08:53,339
the next couple of pages are just parts

207
00:08:53,339 --> 00:08:55,320
of your revenues and your expenditures

208
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:59,160
from 2018 compared to 2022. I won't talk

209
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:00,660
about these too much I just think it's

210
00:09:00,660 --> 00:09:02,459
interesting to see that they don't

211
00:09:02,459 --> 00:09:04,320
really change very much over the course

212
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:06,899
of the years so as you work on trying to

213
00:09:06,899 --> 00:09:09,420
generate more revenues or potentially

214
00:09:09,420 --> 00:09:11,399
cut expenditures if you have to do that

215
00:09:11,399 --> 00:09:13,560
at some point you can see where you

216
00:09:13,560 --> 00:09:15,540
generate the most Revenue which pieces

217
00:09:15,540 --> 00:09:17,940
of the pie you have control over and

218
00:09:17,940 --> 00:09:19,680
then you can see where you spend most of

219
00:09:19,680 --> 00:09:21,720
your money

220
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:25,500
on page six is a summary of long-term

221
00:09:25,500 --> 00:09:28,200
obligations for the governmental

222
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:30,300
activities so the general fund and the

223
00:09:30,300 --> 00:09:31,740
other governmental activities that you

224
00:09:31,740 --> 00:09:33,360
all report

225
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:34,980
um the component Unit School Board and

226
00:09:34,980 --> 00:09:38,220
then the water and sewer fund

227
00:09:38,220 --> 00:09:41,399
here we have actual debt issuances along

228
00:09:41,399 --> 00:09:44,519
with net pension and oped liabilities

229
00:09:44,519 --> 00:09:46,560
compensated absences and things like

230
00:09:46,560 --> 00:09:49,500
that a couple of things that I think

231
00:09:49,500 --> 00:09:51,540
people have really noticed this year you

232
00:09:51,540 --> 00:09:53,339
can see that your net pension liability

233
00:09:53,339 --> 00:09:56,220
dropped significantly it actually went

234
00:09:56,220 --> 00:09:59,160
to an asset this year that's solely a

235
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:01,920
function of the fact that vrs had a

236
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:04,080
really good year on their investments in

237
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:08,220
2021 so the market was down in 2020 2021

238
00:10:08,220 --> 00:10:11,519
it came back up so your net balance of

239
00:10:11,519 --> 00:10:14,940
your pension went down significantly if

240
00:10:14,940 --> 00:10:16,380
you look at your financial statements

241
00:10:16,380 --> 00:10:18,120
though that amount is offset with a dirt

242
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:20,640
outflow and a deferred inflow and so

243
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:22,440
there's really not much of a net impact

244
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:24,959
on net position your outflows and

245
00:10:24,959 --> 00:10:27,240
inflows are amortized in over four years

246
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:30,540
to offset those large fluctuations when

247
00:10:30,540 --> 00:10:32,580
there are swings in the market so that

248
00:10:32,580 --> 00:10:33,839
it doesn't fall all the way to net

249
00:10:33,839 --> 00:10:36,180
position people see that and either get

250
00:10:36,180 --> 00:10:40,399
really excited or really scared about it um so I just wanted to mention that

251
00:10:40,399 --> 00:10:43,140
otherwise you had a debt issuance in

252
00:10:43,140 --> 00:10:45,300
your general fund of 2.6 million for

253
00:10:45,300 --> 00:10:47,579
some capital projects I think the

254
00:10:47,579 --> 00:10:49,740
transfer station if I remember correctly

255
00:10:49,740 --> 00:10:52,079
and otherwise it was just routine debt

256
00:10:52,079 --> 00:10:55,250
payments um from there

257
00:10:55,260 --> 00:10:57,779
the next couple of pages are required

258
00:10:57,779 --> 00:10:59,940
communication with governance letter you

259
00:10:59,940 --> 00:11:01,500
guys have a pretty standard boilerplate

260
00:11:01,500 --> 00:11:04,019
letter that's what you want nothing of

261
00:11:04,019 --> 00:11:06,180
significance to really go over the

262
00:11:06,180 --> 00:11:09,240
school board did Implement gassy 87

263
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:11,579
related to leases leases for the county

264
00:11:11,579 --> 00:11:13,560
were evaluated but were determined to

265
00:11:13,560 --> 00:11:15,360
not be material and therefore they were

266
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:18,000
not reported we do have a management

267
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:21,360
comment a couple Pages back that we

268
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:23,279
recommend or are recommending to all

269
00:11:23,279 --> 00:11:25,920
localities or all governmental entities

270
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:28,200
really to evaluate your capitalization

271
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:30,480
thresholds particularly for leased

272
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:33,060
assets a lot of places are implementing

273
00:11:33,060 --> 00:11:34,800
a higher threshold for leased assets

274
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:36,720
because they are so much more cumbersome

275
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:39,720
to record in your books and I do have an

276
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:41,579
example that I can provide if you all

277
00:11:41,579 --> 00:11:43,160
are interested

278
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:46,380
otherwise nothing really to mention or

279
00:11:46,380 --> 00:11:49,380
note that we haven't already discussed

280
00:11:49,380 --> 00:11:51,420
the next few pages are the proposed

281
00:11:51,420 --> 00:11:53,459
journal entries I won't go over those

282
00:11:53,459 --> 00:11:54,540
but those are there for your

283
00:11:54,540 --> 00:11:56,459
informational purposes if you wanted to

284
00:11:56,459 --> 00:11:58,019
take a look at them

285
00:11:58,019 --> 00:12:01,519
same on page 17 or the management

286
00:12:01,519 --> 00:12:03,360
recommendations or the audit

287
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:05,760
recommendations as the part of the

288
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:08,519
procedures that we performed I don't

289
00:12:08,519 --> 00:12:10,200
typically go over these but they're here

290
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:11,579
so that you all have them and you're

291
00:12:11,579 --> 00:12:13,440
aware of any audit recommendations that

292
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:14,519
we had

293
00:12:14,519 --> 00:12:17,399
and then the last few pages are the

294
00:12:17,399 --> 00:12:20,279
upcoming gassy standards it seems like

295
00:12:20,279 --> 00:12:21,720
every year we've got three or four new

296
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:23,640
Gatsby's that need to be evaluated so

297
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:26,220
that we can implement or determine if

298
00:12:26,220 --> 00:12:28,800
their material to be implemented so this

299
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:30,360
is just to get you guys out in front of

300
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:31,560
that so that you're aware of the

301
00:12:31,560 --> 00:12:33,420
upcoming standards

302
00:12:33,420 --> 00:12:35,700
if anybody has any questions I'd be

303
00:12:35,700 --> 00:12:37,500
happy to try to answer them but that was

304
00:12:37,500 --> 00:12:39,600
all that I had to go over with you all

305
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:44,509
too

306
00:12:44,519 --> 00:12:45,959
oh I did want to mention as you're

307
00:12:45,959 --> 00:12:48,180
reviewing the reports or the

308
00:12:48,180 --> 00:12:49,860
presentation file closer if you've got

309
00:12:49,860 --> 00:12:51,720
any questions my contact information's

310
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:53,279
on the front so you're always welcome to

311
00:12:53,279 --> 00:12:55,440
email or call too I know you haven't

312
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:58,380
really had time to review the report or

313
00:12:58,380 --> 00:13:00,899
the presentation in debt

314
00:13:00,899 --> 00:13:03,980
thank you I have a quick question

315
00:13:03,980 --> 00:13:07,139
on the page 17. I've got the school

316
00:13:07,139 --> 00:13:09,899
board recommendations the cafeteria

317
00:13:09,899 --> 00:13:11,399
account you indicate that the

318
00:13:11,399 --> 00:13:12,959
centralized account should be maintained

319
00:13:12,959 --> 00:13:14,639
in the treasurer's office

320
00:13:14,639 --> 00:13:16,380
one of the reasons why they want to

321
00:13:16,380 --> 00:13:18,120
maintain that in the middle schools is

322
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:20,820
so they can pay the bills on time so to

323
00:13:20,820 --> 00:13:22,980
speak is that going to create a lot of

324
00:13:22,980 --> 00:13:24,720
problem trying to implement that but is

325
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:29,160
it going to be worth the bite to do that um to be honest I'm

326
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:30,839
not sure what the rationale behind that

327
00:13:30,839 --> 00:13:32,459
was it was my understanding that it was

328
00:13:32,459 --> 00:13:33,959
because all of the schools at one point

329
00:13:33,959 --> 00:13:36,360
had their own not all of the schools had

330
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:37,800
their own cafeteria but like centrally

331
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:40,500
within each location they had their own

332
00:13:40,500 --> 00:13:42,600
and then it all got brought into one and

333
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:44,040
it's our understanding that if they're

334
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:46,260
centralized like that it should be with

335
00:13:46,260 --> 00:13:48,660
the treasurer I can't imagine that there

336
00:13:48,660 --> 00:13:49,980
would be

337
00:13:49,980 --> 00:13:51,959
um a delay in paying the bills I mean as

338
00:13:51,959 --> 00:13:53,459
far as I'm aware the school board itself

339
00:13:53,459 --> 00:13:55,740
doesn't have an issue with paying the

340
00:13:55,740 --> 00:13:59,100
bills in a timely manner um but I'm not

341
00:13:59,100 --> 00:14:02,100
sure if that I'm not involved in the

342
00:14:02,100 --> 00:14:04,560
day-to-day so I don't know

343
00:14:04,560 --> 00:14:06,360
yeah yeah

344
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:08,399
I think that is um I've talked to the

345
00:14:08,399 --> 00:14:09,540
school board about it I don't know that

346
00:14:09,540 --> 00:14:11,880
we've spoken about it but um it's almost

347
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:13,380
seems like it's one of those things that

348
00:14:13,380 --> 00:14:14,940
will agree to disagree on that we feel

349
00:14:14,940 --> 00:14:16,200
like it should be with the treasurer but

350
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:17,959
the school board

351
00:14:17,959 --> 00:14:21,899
I agree with the school yeah yeah

352
00:14:21,899 --> 00:14:23,880
because it's it's important we pay our

353
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:25,680
bills on things like that on time oh

354
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:27,300
yeah we've been through that over the

355
00:14:27,300 --> 00:14:28,079
years

356
00:14:28,079 --> 00:14:30,120
I just think it's you know we're not

357
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:31,620
dealing millions of dollars out of it

358
00:14:31,620 --> 00:14:37,200
but we are saving a lot of interest yeah sure yeah I just while you were

359
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:39,740
here in front of me yeah

360
00:14:39,740 --> 00:14:42,060
it's a little bit of a catch-22 right

361
00:14:42,060 --> 00:14:43,260
because if you did move it and you paid

362
00:14:43,260 --> 00:14:44,579
your bills late I'd probably be here

363
00:14:44,579 --> 00:14:45,779
telling you next year that you paid your

364
00:14:45,779 --> 00:14:48,590
bills late yeah

365
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:51,769
any other questions

366
00:14:51,779 --> 00:14:54,120
thank you thank you all I appreciate it

367
00:14:54,120 --> 00:15:12,290
Happy Holidays thank you

368
00:15:12,300 --> 00:15:14,519
yeah what you're all here for the public

369
00:15:14,519 --> 00:15:16,139
hearings

370
00:15:16,139 --> 00:15:18,420
uh first the public hearing is amendment

371
00:15:18,420 --> 00:15:21,779

00:15:26,699 --> 00:15:29,399
the notice

375
00:15:29,399 --> 00:15:33,420

regular meeting

474
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:51,860
thank you

475
00:18:51,860 --> 00:18:54,419
all right we're going to start now with

476
00:18:54,419 --> 00:18:55,340
the

477
00:18:55,340 --> 00:18:58,500
public hearing on the musical

478
00:18:58,500 --> 00:19:02,630
entertainment Festival

479
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:06,179
Mr Williams sure so is it quick

480
00:19:06,179 --> 00:19:08,460
summary of this proposal

481
00:19:08,460 --> 00:19:10,799
um for years we've had the music and

482
00:19:10,799 --> 00:19:12,360
Festival ordinance and it's required all

483
00:19:12,360 --> 00:19:14,100
applicants to come in and file an

484
00:19:14,100 --> 00:19:15,419
application and we set up the public

485
00:19:15,419 --> 00:19:18,840
hearing oftentimes with very little

486
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:21,240
Fanfare very little concern

487
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:23,280
um and so the idea with this proposed

488
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:25,440
amendment was to um to make an

489
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:27,600
Administration administrative approval

490
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:29,760
process by which someone could come in

491
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:32,400
apply we would send letters to all the

492
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:34,260
adjoining property owners if there are

493
00:19:34,260 --> 00:19:36,539
no concerns then we would approve it

494
00:19:36,539 --> 00:19:38,460
um administratively if there are

495
00:19:38,460 --> 00:19:40,740
concerns then that doesn't necessarily

496
00:19:40,740 --> 00:19:43,320
deny the application that just then sets

497
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:45,299
the rest of the ordinance in motion and

498
00:19:45,299 --> 00:19:46,919
we would set up a public hearing with

499
00:19:46,919 --> 00:19:48,419
the board and let the board ultimately

500
00:19:48,419 --> 00:19:49,559
vote

501
00:19:49,559 --> 00:19:51,960
so that's the goal of this proposed

502
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:52,919
amendment

503
00:19:52,919 --> 00:19:55,799
did anyone sign up to speak no sorry

504
00:19:55,799 --> 00:19:58,080
anyone here wishing to speak on this

505
00:19:58,080 --> 00:19:59,760
particular

506
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:02,160
public hearing

507
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:04,440
I'll close that part up we'll move on

508
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:06,960
now to the uh

509
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:10,440
this news appointments

510
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:13,100
so this proposal is a result of

511
00:20:13,100 --> 00:20:14,780
basically

512
00:20:14,780 --> 00:20:17,400
the protocol that we've historically

513
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:18,780
practiced not necessarily what the

514
00:20:18,780 --> 00:20:20,760
ordinance says if you read the nuisance

515
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:23,520
ordinance literally every time we

516
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:25,380
receive a nuisance complaint we're

517
00:20:25,380 --> 00:20:26,760
supposed to set up a public Hearing in

518
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:29,940
front of the board and oftentimes a lot

519
00:20:29,940 --> 00:20:31,080
of these can be handled with a simple

520
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:33,660
letter uh to the property owner and so

521
00:20:33,660 --> 00:20:35,460
we're just asking that the nuisance and

522
00:20:35,460 --> 00:20:37,140
we've done that historically if we get a

523
00:20:37,140 --> 00:20:38,700
complaint I will send a letter to the

524
00:20:38,700 --> 00:20:41,100
folks and oftentimes they'll step up and

525
00:20:41,100 --> 00:20:42,299
they'll they'll take care of the

526
00:20:42,299 --> 00:20:45,600
situation so not necessarily needing to

527
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:48,000
evolve to you know bring the board into

528
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:50,280
it in every single case we thought that

529
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:51,840
we would suggest amending the ordinance

530
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:53,700
to allow for us to at least send that

531
00:20:53,700 --> 00:20:55,679
initial letter if we don't get a

532
00:20:55,679 --> 00:20:57,660
response or they just refuse to comply

533
00:20:57,660 --> 00:21:00,000
then we follow the standard protocol we

534
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:01,500
set up a public hearing like we'll have

535
00:21:01,500 --> 00:21:04,080
for two properties in just a minute

536
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:06,299
so that's the proposal for the for the

537
00:21:06,299 --> 00:21:09,360
change to the nuisance organs

538
00:21:09,360 --> 00:21:11,520
all righty did anyone sign on speak on

539
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:13,140
this one

540
00:21:13,140 --> 00:21:17,690
anyone wishing to speak on this audience

541
00:21:17,700 --> 00:21:19,559
hearing none I'll close the public here

542
00:21:19,559 --> 00:21:20,760
you know

543
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:23,220
now it's on this

544
00:21:23,220 --> 00:21:25,980
we've got one more I think Water and

545
00:21:25,980 --> 00:21:27,419
Sewer fees

546
00:21:27,419 --> 00:21:29,820
okay

547
00:21:29,820 --> 00:21:32,159
go ahead so this public hearing is

548
00:21:32,159 --> 00:21:33,240
considered

549
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:35,820
um amending uh basically the the process

550
00:21:35,820 --> 00:21:37,320
with water and sewer connections

551
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:40,380
currently we require all land owners to

552
00:21:40,380 --> 00:21:42,360
put water and sewer Connections in their

553
00:21:42,360 --> 00:21:45,480
name and you all

554
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:48,240
got a glimpse of this a month ago when

555
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:49,620
we had the folks over in Saltville that

556
00:21:49,620 --> 00:21:52,080
were unable to get a water service and

557
00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:53,640
so this proposed change would fix that

558
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:55,679
situation it would allow anyone that

559
00:21:55,679 --> 00:21:57,900
wants to to basically you know get

560
00:21:57,900 --> 00:21:59,640
public water or sewer the ability to

561
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:02,340
come in and apply for service

562
00:22:02,340 --> 00:22:04,440
the other change would be that we now

563
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:06,059
require deposit

564
00:22:06,059 --> 00:22:07,200
um so kind of following in line with

565
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:09,120
most public utility companies where you

566
00:22:09,120 --> 00:22:10,860
pay a deposit you don't pay your bill

567
00:22:10,860 --> 00:22:13,620
then your deposit offsets that and and

568
00:22:13,620 --> 00:22:16,140
we go through that process

569
00:22:16,140 --> 00:22:19,380
100 it's a 100 deposit yes

570
00:22:19,380 --> 00:22:22,320
is the proposal and I don't think anyone

571
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:24,480
signed up to speak but I did receive one

572
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:25,260
letter

573
00:22:25,260 --> 00:22:27,600
um and I promised the the gentleman that

574
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:29,340
I would read that uh here tonight at the

575
00:22:29,340 --> 00:22:30,900
hearing it's just the board of

576
00:22:30,900 --> 00:22:32,340
supervisor

577
00:22:32,340 --> 00:22:35,159
121 Bagley Circle Marion Virginia to

578
00:22:35,159 --> 00:22:37,260
whom it may concern I recently learned

579
00:22:37,260 --> 00:22:38,520
that Smith County is considering an

580
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:40,200
update to their water billing system as

581
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:42,059
an owner of a mobile home park the

582
00:22:42,059 --> 00:22:43,620
current Billing System is not working

583
00:22:43,620 --> 00:22:45,360
the billing system for my property is

584
00:22:45,360 --> 00:22:47,460
set up where each tenant is on their own

585
00:22:47,460 --> 00:22:49,440
meter but yet I am responsible for the

586
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:51,659
bill the system is not working and I

587
00:22:51,659 --> 00:22:54,000
support a revision of the system so the

588
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:55,860
tenant is responsible the current system

589
00:22:55,860 --> 00:22:57,780
is hard to manage with constant problems

590
00:22:57,780 --> 00:22:59,640
the bill is sent to the owner of the

591
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:00,900
property rather than the tenant

592
00:23:00,900 --> 00:23:03,240
occupying the unit if there is an error

593
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:05,159
or leak it makes more sense for the

594
00:23:05,159 --> 00:23:06,659
actual customer of the utility to

595
00:23:06,659 --> 00:23:08,760
receive the bill this is more consistent

596
00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:10,440
with standard billing practices of other

597
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:12,960
utilities internet providers and billing

598
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:14,820
in general as an owner of mobile home

599
00:23:14,820 --> 00:23:16,200
parks in other states the more

600
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:17,640
traditional system of tenant

601
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:19,860
responsibility for their own bill works

602
00:23:19,860 --> 00:23:22,200
much better respectfully Roger Wilson

603
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:24,960
senior owner of the saltwell mobile home

604
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:26,100
park

605
00:23:26,100 --> 00:23:28,140
and that's all received in regards to

606
00:23:28,140 --> 00:23:29,640
this matter

607
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:31,740
anyone president want to speak on this

608
00:23:31,740 --> 00:23:34,909
issue

609
00:23:34,919 --> 00:23:36,600
here you know I'll close that public

610
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:39,440
hearing now we'll get into the

611
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:42,780
okay proposed noise ordinance as all of

612
00:23:42,780 --> 00:23:44,520
you recall we once had a noise ordinance

613
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:46,440
on the books uh it was deemed on

614
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:48,240
enforceable and and you all voted to

615
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:50,640
repeal it earlier this year that has

616
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:52,320
been brought back up with this proposed

617
00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:54,419
amendment

618
00:23:54,419 --> 00:23:57,240
um in short The Proposal is to adopt a

619
00:23:57,240 --> 00:23:59,520
plainly audible language uh as opposed

620
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:01,679
to to setting a specific limit and

621
00:24:01,679 --> 00:24:03,799
requiring decimal meters and training

622
00:24:03,799 --> 00:24:06,840
and that protocol

623
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:08,820
um and hopefully you've all had a chance

624
00:24:08,820 --> 00:24:11,640
to rate it you see what activities are

625
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:13,260
prohibited

626
00:24:13,260 --> 00:24:15,299
um typically during the night hours so

627
00:24:15,299 --> 00:24:16,860
there's a Time range that applies here

628
00:24:16,860 --> 00:24:18,840
and then the goal is to to basically

629
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:20,700
prohibit these sounds what's spelled out

630
00:24:20,700 --> 00:24:22,559
in the ordinance from crossing the

631
00:24:22,559 --> 00:24:27,240
property line there's also a number of exemptions that was a popular

632
00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:29,940
topic during uh during the committee

633
00:24:29,940 --> 00:24:31,320
meeting and then some of the calls that

634
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:33,539
we've gotten since then so I would

635
00:24:33,539 --> 00:24:35,039
encourage you to read the exemptions and

636
00:24:35,039 --> 00:24:37,320
see what activities are exempt from the

637
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:38,820
noise ordinance

638
00:24:38,820 --> 00:24:40,620
if you have any specific questions I'll

639
00:24:40,620 --> 00:24:44,630
be happy to try to answer those

640
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:46,559
and I do believe there's two folks that

641
00:24:46,559 --> 00:24:49,260
signed up to speak on this one thank you

642
00:24:49,260 --> 00:24:55,159
all righty uh Mr Davis David Fulton

643
00:24:55,159 --> 00:24:56,820
unfortunately state your name and

644
00:24:56,820 --> 00:25:02,409
address for the record

645
00:25:02,419 --> 00:25:06,480
name is David Fulton I live in Marion

646
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:10,380
I understand about the 11 to 7 time

647
00:25:10,380 --> 00:25:14,039
frame at night but my concern is doing

648
00:25:14,039 --> 00:25:16,320
the day when you pull up to a traffic

649
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:17,220
light

650
00:25:17,220 --> 00:25:20,100
the vehicle next to you the exhaust is

651
00:25:20,100 --> 00:25:22,140
so loud you cannot carry on a

652
00:25:22,140 --> 00:25:23,820
confirmation with

653
00:25:23,820 --> 00:25:26,700
the person in the vehicle with you or

654
00:25:26,700 --> 00:25:30,720
the music is Extremely Loud

655
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:34,789
that's my only control

656
00:25:34,799 --> 00:25:37,020
all right thank you

657
00:25:37,020 --> 00:25:46,990
Mr go Copenhagen

658
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:49,919
[Music]

659
00:25:49,919 --> 00:25:53,039
thank you Mr Atkinson those members of

660
00:25:53,039 --> 00:25:55,980
the board I haven't had a chance to look

661
00:25:55,980 --> 00:25:59,159
through the uh exemptions to that and it

662
00:25:59,159 --> 00:26:00,659
looks like it may be

663
00:26:00,659 --> 00:26:04,460
already there I'm a farm owner and

664
00:26:04,460 --> 00:26:06,840
sometimes we have to operate equipment

665
00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:10,020
at times necessary to accomplish

666
00:26:10,020 --> 00:26:14,159
emergency repairs or and or weather

667
00:26:14,159 --> 00:26:16,380
considerations I don't have any

668
00:26:16,380 --> 00:26:18,419
equipment been modified in any way to

669
00:26:18,419 --> 00:26:21,900
make any excessive noise personally I

670
00:26:21,900 --> 00:26:23,340
have

671
00:26:23,340 --> 00:26:25,620
applaud you for trying to come up with

672
00:26:25,620 --> 00:26:27,779
an ordinance to hold the noise down I'll

673
00:26:27,779 --> 00:26:31,320
forward that just to also understand

674
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:34,400
that we're just going to make sure that

675
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:37,260
there's a I know there's a code on the

676
00:26:37,260 --> 00:26:40,200
book for Virginia the right to farm so

677
00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:41,580
just

678
00:26:41,580 --> 00:26:44,760
not to hamper you in any fashion or way

679
00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:46,860
on what you're trying to accomplish but

680
00:26:46,860 --> 00:26:49,559
to understand that I had all my

681
00:26:49,559 --> 00:26:52,080
equipment out one Christmas Day

682
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:54,360
repairing the fence because somebody ran

683
00:26:54,360 --> 00:26:56,580
through it on Christmas Eve and so I

684
00:26:56,580 --> 00:26:58,500
spent my Christmas repair and fence with

685
00:26:58,500 --> 00:27:00,480
my tractors and equipment necessary to

686
00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:05,220
do the job so that's just to call it to

687
00:27:05,220 --> 00:27:06,659
your attention that's all

688
00:27:06,659 --> 00:27:08,220
thank you

689
00:27:08,220 --> 00:27:10,980
don't worry also tell you that's in an

690
00:27:10,980 --> 00:27:13,500
exempt exceptions number 12. this is

691
00:27:13,500 --> 00:27:15,299
agricultural activities and I would

692
00:27:15,299 --> 00:27:16,500
think that would include all those

693
00:27:16,500 --> 00:27:18,080
things

694
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:20,460
I have not had a chance to read it but I

695
00:27:20,460 --> 00:27:22,320
saw agriculture but I didn't get a

696
00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:25,909
chance to read it

697
00:27:25,919 --> 00:27:27,539
thank you

698
00:27:27,539 --> 00:27:28,980
actually

699
00:27:28,980 --> 00:27:30,779
and actually in the uh

700
00:27:30,779 --> 00:27:33,539
number 11 before that it talks about the

701
00:27:33,539 --> 00:27:36,539
uh operation noise between 11AM 11 pm

702
00:27:36,539 --> 00:27:39,000
and 7 A.M and said this subsection shall

703
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:40,919
not apply to any Bonafide agriculture

704
00:27:40,919 --> 00:27:42,059
activity

705
00:27:42,059 --> 00:27:44,279
so one place or other we hope we got it

706
00:27:44,279 --> 00:27:46,860
covered we're trying it just didn't want

707
00:27:46,860 --> 00:27:48,840
to get overlooked we're trying to you

708
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:51,480
know just just because you know we have

709
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:53,940
to run sometimes when we don't we don't

710
00:27:53,940 --> 00:27:55,620
particularly want to be out there either

711
00:27:55,620 --> 00:27:57,779
we never fix fence when it's pretty it's

712
00:27:57,779 --> 00:28:00,240
always I see cold rainy windy that's

713
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:02,640
where they go through our fancy thank

714
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:06,620
you Joe thank you

715
00:28:06,620 --> 00:28:08,820
anyone else wishing to speak on this

716
00:28:08,820 --> 00:28:11,220
ordinance

717
00:28:11,220 --> 00:28:13,140
as we consider these things we're trying

718
00:28:13,140 --> 00:28:14,640
to be reasonable with what we're doing

719
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:17,039
because you got people on both sides you

720
00:28:17,039 --> 00:28:19,260
know some want some don't want it and

721
00:28:19,260 --> 00:28:20,700
we're trying to be reasonable and make

722
00:28:20,700 --> 00:28:22,440
it a good place to live but also a good

723
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:24,779
place to do business and work so you

724
00:28:24,779 --> 00:28:26,279
know and quite honestly praying for us

725
00:28:26,279 --> 00:28:27,840
as we decide on these things because

726
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:29,760
it's not an easy decision

727
00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:32,760
it seems easy to someone walks in with

728
00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:34,640
an exception in what do you do so

729
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:36,840
hopefully we've covered most of it in

730
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:38,580
this I'll be honest I think we stole

731
00:28:38,580 --> 00:28:40,799
this from another local County they've

732
00:28:40,799 --> 00:28:42,840
already put it under the task force but

733
00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:44,820
it's always better than us have to hire

734
00:28:44,820 --> 00:28:46,440
more lawyers

735
00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:49,140
experiment I'd like to address

736
00:28:49,140 --> 00:28:52,919
your concern that you had and in

737
00:28:52,919 --> 00:28:54,539
reference to the exhaust and stuff

738
00:28:54,539 --> 00:28:56,700
you're you're speaking of during the

739
00:28:56,700 --> 00:29:02,340
daytime yeah is that correct they're already State statutes for that

740
00:29:02,340 --> 00:29:06,950
full law enforcement that they can force

741
00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:08,820
when are they going to start enforcing

742
00:29:08,820 --> 00:29:11,880
that night I

743
00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:13,860
there there's been there's been some

744
00:29:13,860 --> 00:29:15,779
back and forth I understand through the

745
00:29:15,779 --> 00:29:19,919
uh legislative or uh making that a first

746
00:29:19,919 --> 00:29:22,640
offense or a primary offense

747
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:25,200
secondary offense I I think they have

748
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:27,299
just adjusted that this past year back

749
00:29:27,299 --> 00:29:29,460
to our primaries it might know better

750
00:29:29,460 --> 00:29:31,140
than I I don't I know there was some

751
00:29:31,140 --> 00:29:32,460
discussion but

752
00:29:32,460 --> 00:29:34,679
I think they had changed that back to a

753
00:29:34,679 --> 00:29:36,000
primary

754
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:37,919
a couple years ago they changed it to

755
00:29:37,919 --> 00:29:40,020
where it couldn't be and and I believe

756
00:29:40,020 --> 00:29:42,020
it is now so

757
00:29:42,020 --> 00:29:44,399
if that helps then

758
00:29:44,399 --> 00:29:46,200
thank you

759
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:48,240
anyone else wishing to speak on this

760
00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:49,500
ordinance

761
00:29:49,500 --> 00:29:51,020
if not

762
00:29:51,020 --> 00:29:54,179
I'll adjourn that part of the or close

763
00:29:54,179 --> 00:29:58,310
that part of the meeting

764
00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:00,179
and thank you for attending if that's

765
00:30:00,179 --> 00:30:06,529
what you came for tonight

766
00:30:06,539 --> 00:30:08,580
and review of the Public Notices

767
00:30:08,580 --> 00:30:10,620
ornaments now

768
00:30:10,620 --> 00:30:13,559
are we going to Clegg on this one ah

769
00:30:13,559 --> 00:30:15,899
sure stuck with me one more time

770
00:30:15,899 --> 00:30:16,620
um

771
00:30:16,620 --> 00:30:18,659
so we do have two

772
00:30:18,659 --> 00:30:20,580
um hearings tonight to consider two two

773
00:30:20,580 --> 00:30:22,559
properties in Smith County determine

774
00:30:22,559 --> 00:30:23,880
whether or not they constitute a public

775
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:26,399
notice since the first one uh is owned

776
00:30:26,399 --> 00:30:29,340
by Stephen Karen Miller uh it's it's not

777
00:30:29,340 --> 00:30:31,320
addressed but it's located next to 607

778
00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:34,140
uh Sinclair's Creek Road uh I think Paul

779
00:30:34,140 --> 00:30:36,000
has pulled some pictures up if you're

780
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:37,620
familiar with the area this this was an

781
00:30:37,620 --> 00:30:39,659
old commercial building that's been

782
00:30:39,659 --> 00:30:42,960
vacant for some time and we did receive

783
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:45,000
um a nuisance complaint on this property

784
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:46,620
went by

785
00:30:46,620 --> 00:30:48,620
took the pictures that you're seeing now

786
00:30:48,620 --> 00:30:50,940
we did try to reach out to the owners

787
00:30:50,940 --> 00:30:53,520
you recall this is not our first rodeo

788
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:56,640
with them they own the property on uh at

789
00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:57,840
Wolf Road

790
00:30:57,840 --> 00:31:00,000
and um

791
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:02,399
I am working to track them down and get

792
00:31:02,399 --> 00:31:06,419
them served we did send notice to

793
00:31:06,419 --> 00:31:09,120
um to address the tax ticket goes to we

794
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:11,520
did post the property and I am now

795
00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:12,899
working with the sheriff's department to

796
00:31:12,899 --> 00:31:16,380
try to to get them personally served and

797
00:31:16,380 --> 00:31:18,659
they're working to track them down but

798
00:31:18,659 --> 00:31:22,260
that is what's been debated tonight

799
00:31:22,260 --> 00:31:23,880
whether or not that property constitutes

800
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:25,860
a public news

801
00:31:25,860 --> 00:31:28,380
and I don't think the complaining is

802
00:31:28,380 --> 00:31:30,539
here tonight but I'll be happy to answer

803
00:31:30,539 --> 00:31:36,649
any questions you may have

804
00:31:36,659 --> 00:31:39,240
Mr Williams yes sir approximately how

805
00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:41,220
long has this property been in this

806
00:31:41,220 --> 00:31:43,140
state of decay

807
00:31:43,140 --> 00:31:45,480
since I was a kid yeah I'm gonna say

808
00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:46,500
about

809
00:31:46,500 --> 00:31:50,399
at least a while and uh I thought they

810
00:31:50,399 --> 00:31:53,039
should take care for you uh I've had

811
00:31:53,039 --> 00:31:55,020
three at least three people contact me

812
00:31:55,020 --> 00:31:57,659
that lived close to it who have small

813
00:31:57,659 --> 00:31:59,640
kids who are worried about the possible

814
00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:02,159
injury of them riding their bicycle mods

815
00:32:02,159 --> 00:32:03,720
something following through and fall out

816
00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:06,720
of it that type of thing so I

817
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:08,520
I'd be more concerned with kids crawling

818
00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:10,740
into the building now to explore if you

819
00:32:10,740 --> 00:32:12,840
like what I was when I was little well

820
00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:14,100
there's also squatters and drive back

821
00:32:14,100 --> 00:32:16,490
too

822
00:32:16,500 --> 00:32:19,500
so some a couple of decades I can tell

823
00:32:19,500 --> 00:32:22,260
you personally 20 plus years yeah I mean

824
00:32:22,260 --> 00:32:24,600
I've been doing inspections that long

825
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:26,720
and they've driven past that many times

826
00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:30,740
well just like it over Sugar Grove huh

827
00:32:30,740 --> 00:32:35,710
you can switch pictures in it

828
00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:38,039
full disclosure that's kind of what I

829
00:32:38,039 --> 00:32:39,360
thought we were looking at was one of

830
00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:42,830
them

831
00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:47,090
I don't think the 10 11's too long

832
00:32:47,100 --> 00:32:48,299
uh

833
00:32:48,299 --> 00:32:50,179
it's good

834
00:32:50,179 --> 00:32:52,740
that's all I have on this one so all you

835
00:32:52,740 --> 00:32:54,299
what we need to decide tonight whether

836
00:32:54,299 --> 00:32:56,340
that's to do since or not correct well

837
00:32:56,340 --> 00:32:58,559
not necessarily it's tonight's just a

838
00:32:58,559 --> 00:33:00,120
public hearing okay no it's a public

839
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:01,620
hearing you're not obligated to vote on

840
00:33:01,620 --> 00:33:03,320
it tonight um

841
00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:06,120
if you choose to do that

842
00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:07,919
wait another month I mean we've waited

843
00:33:07,919 --> 00:33:11,029
20 years

844
00:33:11,039 --> 00:33:12,899
in my neighborhood I'd be wanting

845
00:33:12,899 --> 00:33:16,549
something done I know that

846
00:33:16,559 --> 00:33:19,019

I believe you go to unanimous there all

858
00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:00,120
right thank you all

859
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:03,539
we got more than we expected

860
00:34:03,539 --> 00:34:05,340
so I'll give Paul a second to pull out

861
00:34:05,340 --> 00:34:09,530
the pictures from the next property

862
00:34:09,540 --> 00:34:12,119
another nuisance complaint uh this one

863
00:34:12,119 --> 00:34:14,159
you've probably seen

864
00:34:14,159 --> 00:34:16,260
um in the past this is 366 North

865
00:34:16,260 --> 00:34:18,599
overlook this is the hall edition this

866
00:34:18,599 --> 00:34:21,060
is a Honda was damaged by fire

867
00:34:21,060 --> 00:34:23,820
um as you can tell nothing's been done

868
00:34:23,820 --> 00:34:27,359
to clean it up or to secure the property

869
00:34:27,359 --> 00:34:28,020
um

870
00:34:28,020 --> 00:34:29,639
Rodney found a nuisance complaint

871
00:34:29,639 --> 00:34:32,220
several months ago we've been trying to

872
00:34:32,220 --> 00:34:34,200
track down the owners unsuccessful to do

873
00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:36,540
that through that process I learned that

874
00:34:36,540 --> 00:34:37,919
this property is going to come off for a

875
00:34:37,919 --> 00:34:39,960
tax sale or it's scheduled to come up

876
00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:43,200
for a tax sale and what I've learned in

877
00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:45,839
the past is that whether we're able to

878
00:34:45,839 --> 00:34:47,580
get in there and clean it up or not it

879
00:34:47,580 --> 00:34:49,139
is in our best interest if you declare

880
00:34:49,139 --> 00:34:51,300
this to be a public nuisance to notify

881
00:34:51,300 --> 00:34:52,859
the folks attacks so that they can put a

882
00:34:52,859 --> 00:34:54,240
deed restriction so that when this

883
00:34:54,240 --> 00:34:56,339
Property Transfers the next owner is

884
00:34:56,339 --> 00:34:58,080
obligated to clean it up so a very

885
00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:00,000
similar situation that we had on adwolf

886
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:02,460
Road uh so while we will certainly work

887
00:35:02,460 --> 00:35:04,800
through the process to try to get it um

888
00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:07,740
evaded uh if if you do declare the

889
00:35:07,740 --> 00:35:11,280
public nuisance at the very least we can get that to tax and have that

890
00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:12,960
transferred with the deal

891
00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:15,000
um and then

892
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:19,260
um one piece of good news on this one we historically have problems uh getting

893
00:35:19,260 --> 00:35:21,000
service on these folks but through a

894
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:22,500
great relationship with the sheriff's

895
00:35:22,500 --> 00:35:24,720
department now we actually have personal

896
00:35:24,720 --> 00:35:27,300
service on this one uh all of our first

897
00:35:27,300 --> 00:35:28,800
class and certified leaders are coming

898
00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:31,260
back but um when you start knocking on

899
00:35:31,260 --> 00:35:33,079
doors and getting people off the couch

900
00:35:33,079 --> 00:35:35,760
it makes a difference so I certainly

901
00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:38,880
appreciate their efforts on this one and

902
00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:40,560
Ronnie's with us tonight I'm sure he

903
00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:41,880
would like to talk to you about how it

904
00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:43,680
is impact in his neighborhood okay I

905
00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:45,060
guess I better open the public hearing

906
00:35:45,060 --> 00:35:46,859
before

907
00:35:46,859 --> 00:35:48,780
no one else has signed up Rodney did you

908
00:35:48,780 --> 00:35:50,880
want to yeah I just said one comment to

909
00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:52,200
piggyback of what Mike said earlier

910
00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:53,820
about I'll give you ahead I'm sorry

911
00:35:53,820 --> 00:35:56,160

homes was it 200 yards of this house

914
00:35:59,880 --> 00:36:02,280
that have school with children and it's

915
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:04,800
falling on itself so I appreciate it

916
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:05,599
together

917
00:36:05,599 --> 00:36:09,000
thanks thank you Roger

918
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:15,109

919
00:36:15,119 --> 00:36:17,820
all right

920
00:36:17,820 --> 00:36:20,760
hearing none I'll close public hearing

921
00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:23,060
so I can make a motion to wave the rules

922
00:36:23,060 --> 00:36:25,500
okay have a motion to Second any further

923
00:36:25,500 --> 00:36:27,660

rules signified to say hi uh any opposed

925
00:36:31,260 --> 00:36:34,500
it sounds like it was unanimous okay

926
00:36:34,500 --> 00:36:35,880
Mr chairman I'd like to go ahead and

927
00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:37,859

comment to you but I am looking forward

959
00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:07,560
to the day that we have a financial and

960
00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:09,960
I know that we have a financial package

961
00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:12,359
that at the end of the day our Treasurer

962
00:38:12,359 --> 00:38:14,040
or someone can print off a financial

963
00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:15,720
statement so this board has a little

964
00:38:15,720 --> 00:38:18,060
idea of what money we have to spend and

965
00:38:18,060 --> 00:38:20,220
we didn't spend you know financially

966
00:38:20,220 --> 00:38:21,960
Where Do We Stand instead of once a year

967
00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:23,820
when we get our audit report five months

968
00:38:23,820 --> 00:38:25,400
after the year ends

969
00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:27,240
I just

970
00:38:27,240 --> 00:38:29,280
being an accountant it just bothers me

971
00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:32,220
that we walk operate so much in the dark

972
00:38:32,220 --> 00:38:34,500
and then every citizen doesn't realize

973
00:38:34,500 --> 00:38:37,079
that but it's drove me crazy now for

974
00:38:37,079 --> 00:38:38,460
almost eight years

975
00:38:38,460 --> 00:38:40,320
and long before that I was going crazy

976
00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:42,119
so uh

977
00:38:42,119 --> 00:38:44,880
so you know we so you'll know some of

978
00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:46,680
the future plans and I don't guess this

979
00:38:46,680 --> 00:38:49,380
is a secret we're trying to budget to to

980
00:38:49,380 --> 00:38:51,240
get money put aside where we can update

981
00:38:51,240 --> 00:38:54,420
our financial packet

982
00:38:54,420 --> 00:38:55,380
um

983
00:38:55,380 --> 00:38:57,660
so we can have better reporting for the

984
00:38:57,660 --> 00:39:00,180
county in all aspects I guess one

985
00:39:00,180 --> 00:39:02,099
advantage for our system being as old as

986
00:39:02,099 --> 00:39:04,800
it was at last year sometime a hacker

987
00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:06,480
tried to hack into our system and we

988
00:39:06,480 --> 00:39:15,839
were so old they could do it drives us crazy in other ways and we

989
00:39:15,839 --> 00:39:17,880
need to be we need to be where we're

990
00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:19,380
getting the financial information we

991
00:39:19,380 --> 00:39:21,240
need in order to govern and be the most

992
00:39:21,240 --> 00:39:22,980
effective at what we need to do for the

993
00:39:22,980 --> 00:39:25,380
county and uh and that's just one of the

994
00:39:25,380 --> 00:39:27,839
things where it is not a cheap it's not

995
00:39:27,839 --> 00:39:29,460
going to be a cheap fix but it's got to

996
00:39:29,460 --> 00:39:31,020
be done sometime

997
00:39:31,020 --> 00:39:32,760
and we might as well get it done while

998
00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:34,560
we get the full bang for our buck and

999
00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:35,820
instead of putting it in and all of a

1000
00:39:35,820 --> 00:39:37,339
sudden it'd be obsolete within the week

1001
00:39:37,339 --> 00:39:40,740
so that's just a editorial comment for

1002
00:39:40,740 --> 00:39:44,089

this month

1008
00:39:55,200 --> 00:39:57,060
I guess we just now need to say our

1009
00:39:57,060 --> 00:39:58,980

1010
00:39:58,980 --> 00:40:01,640

citizens time

1018
00:40:21,660 --> 00:40:23,760

1020
00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:27,480

I have never felt more proud of our

1036
00:41:10,740 --> 00:41:14,760
community than what I do now because I

1037
00:41:14,760 --> 00:41:16,800
feel like we have a board who's working

1038
00:41:16,800 --> 00:41:22,099
together with us with us as employees

1039
00:41:22,099 --> 00:41:23,820

any comments or

1124
00:45:06,359 --> 00:45:08,640
hearing none all those in favor signify

1125
00:45:08,640 --> 00:45:12,000
the same aye aye any opposed I believe

1126
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:13,920
that was unanimous

1127
00:45:13,920 --> 00:45:15,900
now the next item is request from Nebo

1128
00:45:15,900 --> 00:45:18,119
Community Center okay

1129
00:45:18,119 --> 00:45:21,240
um yeah I brought up a uh if you

1130
00:45:21,240 --> 00:45:23,280
remember a few months ago the Nebo

1131
00:45:23,280 --> 00:45:25,079
Community Center had requested some

1132
00:45:25,079 --> 00:45:26,300
funds to

1133
00:45:26,300 --> 00:45:29,280
do some repairs to the building the

1134
00:45:29,280 --> 00:45:32,880
initial phase was 61 000 116. at that

1135
00:45:32,880 --> 00:45:33,619
time

1136
00:45:33,619 --> 00:45:37,140
additional needs equaled to almost a two

1137
00:45:37,140 --> 00:45:39,240
hundred thousand dollar project the

1138
00:45:39,240 --> 00:45:41,839
committee talked about that in in detail

1139
00:45:41,839 --> 00:45:43,400
following

1140
00:45:43,400 --> 00:45:46,980
conversation uh the um the committee

1141
00:45:46,980 --> 00:45:49,680
basically made a motion or a we're in

1142
00:45:49,680 --> 00:45:51,900
favor to table the request until we got

1143
00:45:51,900 --> 00:45:54,119
to the full board meeting tonight to

1144
00:45:54,119 --> 00:45:55,800
have the full board to discuss it rather

1145
00:45:55,800 --> 00:45:58,319
than having a committee recommendation

1146
00:45:58,319 --> 00:46:00,260
okay thank you

1147
00:46:00,260 --> 00:46:05,099
Mr chairman yes since Mr Stevenson is

1148
00:46:05,099 --> 00:46:06,780
not here that is in his district I

1149
00:46:06,780 --> 00:46:08,579
prefer and I would talk about full board

1150
00:46:08,579 --> 00:46:10,680
tonight but I'd personally rather him be

1151
00:46:10,680 --> 00:46:12,119
here since that's his district if that's

1152
00:46:12,119 --> 00:46:13,260
okay

1153
00:46:13,260 --> 00:46:14,940
that's fine with me it's a form of

1154
00:46:14,940 --> 00:46:22,250
motion okay

1155
00:46:22,260 --> 00:46:23,940
in that way they can all be here known

1156
00:46:23,940 --> 00:46:26,460
in January we're going to talk about it

1157
00:46:26,460 --> 00:46:30,180
January 8th or 12th meeting but I don't

1158
00:46:30,180 --> 00:46:31,560
think much will take

1159
00:46:31,560 --> 00:46:33,180
I don't think much would occur between

1160
00:46:33,180 --> 00:46:34,800
now and then anyway in the way of

1161
00:46:34,800 --> 00:46:36,900
construction so

1162
00:46:36,900 --> 00:46:38,940
everybody knows where I stand on that I

1163
00:46:38,940 --> 00:46:40,680
think we need to do them both but

1164
00:46:40,680 --> 00:46:44,930
we're moving on to something else

1165
00:46:44,940 --> 00:46:48,710
EMS service fees oh

1166
00:46:48,720 --> 00:46:51,180
no we didn't vote all in favor of table

1167
00:46:51,180 --> 00:46:53,220
interesting if I was saying aye

1168
00:46:53,220 --> 00:46:55,380
any pose likewise

1169
00:46:55,380 --> 00:46:57,660
sounds like we tabled it

1170
00:46:57,660 --> 00:46:59,640
okay so the next item we discussed was

1171
00:46:59,640 --> 00:47:02,579
EMS billing service fee schedule

1172
00:47:02,579 --> 00:47:07,500
the um uh I had as we're working to

1173
00:47:07,500 --> 00:47:10,859
bring up pull up the EMS station as of

1174
00:47:10,859 --> 00:47:13,200
January 1st we need to go ahead and and

1175
00:47:13,200 --> 00:47:15,900
get a a fee schedule incorporated into

1176
00:47:15,900 --> 00:47:19,800
the the county books so after discussion

1177
00:47:19,800 --> 00:47:23,640
since it's new funds and new fee

1178
00:47:23,640 --> 00:47:25,079
structures we will have to have a public

1179
00:47:25,079 --> 00:47:27,980
hearing so following the conversations

1180
00:47:27,980 --> 00:47:30,720
supervisor Sturgill made a motion to

1181
00:47:30,720 --> 00:47:32,819
recommend scheduling the public hearing

1182
00:47:32,819 --> 00:47:36,660
for the emsp schedule on January 26th at

1183
00:47:36,660 --> 00:47:38,480
five o'clock or soon thereafter

1184
00:47:38,480 --> 00:47:40,800
supervisor deals second into motion it

1185
00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:42,720
was passed unanimously this is simply

1186
00:47:42,720 --> 00:47:44,700
for a public hearing so we can consider

1187
00:47:44,700 --> 00:47:46,440
new fee structure

1188
00:47:46,440 --> 00:47:48,780
all right any discussion

1189
00:47:48,780 --> 00:47:50,940
30 million dollars a favor signify for

1190
00:47:50,940 --> 00:47:53,520
saying hi hi

1191
00:47:53,520 --> 00:47:55,319
sounds like it was unanimous but anyone

1192
00:47:55,319 --> 00:47:58,680
opposed likewise you know I just have a

1193
00:47:58,680 --> 00:48:01,200
question if I may too late now well it's

1194
00:48:01,200 --> 00:48:02,700
not about the Motions about something

1195
00:48:02,700 --> 00:48:05,280
else that I mentioned in our meeting and

1196
00:48:05,280 --> 00:48:07,079
I know you clarified it but I wanted to

1197
00:48:07,079 --> 00:48:11,579
get legal advice too I had mentioned a

1198
00:48:11,579 --> 00:48:14,280
lot our emergency services are strained

1199
00:48:14,280 --> 00:48:16,140
from time to time particularly along the

1200
00:48:16,140 --> 00:48:18,060
81 Corridor by people who are not

1201
00:48:18,060 --> 00:48:20,940
citizens in the county so my question

1202
00:48:20,940 --> 00:48:25,200
was can we soft Bill our citizens but

1203
00:48:25,200 --> 00:48:27,780
harneville people who are outside of

1204
00:48:27,780 --> 00:48:30,060
Smith County that put a strain on our

1205
00:48:30,060 --> 00:48:32,400
found EMS agencies or is that

1206
00:48:32,400 --> 00:48:35,589
discrimination

1207
00:48:35,599 --> 00:48:38,880
before he speaks I will say that I did I

1208
00:48:38,880 --> 00:48:40,859
wanted to reach out to a few folks

1209
00:48:40,859 --> 00:48:42,420
um so I reached out to three different

1210
00:48:42,420 --> 00:48:44,819
localities that has a county-wide EMS

1211
00:48:44,819 --> 00:48:47,339
agencies and all three do that very same

1212
00:48:47,339 --> 00:48:49,440
that very thing they just off Bill

1213
00:48:49,440 --> 00:48:51,119
citizens but you still have to build

1214
00:48:51,119 --> 00:48:52,859
them three four times trying to get the

1215
00:48:52,859 --> 00:48:55,380
payments but they don't send they don't

1216
00:48:55,380 --> 00:48:57,000
do the hard billing for Citizens but

1217
00:48:57,000 --> 00:48:59,099
they do our billing for it because with

1218
00:48:59,099 --> 00:49:00,839
some policy enough that

1219
00:49:00,839 --> 00:49:03,000
I did not get an actual policy from

1220
00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:03,839
anyone

1221
00:49:03,839 --> 00:49:06,650
but no one gave me

1222
00:49:06,660 --> 00:49:08,940
but it is a practice and settle

1223
00:49:08,940 --> 00:49:10,140
localities I think it's just the

1224
00:49:10,140 --> 00:49:12,000
discretion of the agency

1225
00:49:12,000 --> 00:49:14,099
of how they built

1226
00:49:14,099 --> 00:49:16,500
and just clarification soft billing

1227
00:49:16,500 --> 00:49:18,420
would be that we accept

1228
00:49:18,420 --> 00:49:21,180
what the insurance company pays for our

1229
00:49:21,180 --> 00:49:23,359
services

1230
00:49:23,359 --> 00:49:25,560
asking for the difference yeah and then

1231
00:49:25,560 --> 00:49:27,780
it stops we still we still have to send

1232
00:49:27,780 --> 00:49:30,720
a bill but we don't send any collections

1233
00:49:30,720 --> 00:49:31,760
yeah

1234
00:49:31,760 --> 00:49:35,099
or if they if they owe 500 but they can

1235
00:49:35,099 --> 00:49:36,900
only pay us 400.

1236
00:49:36,900 --> 00:49:39,599
well right off we're right off 100.

1237
00:49:39,599 --> 00:49:43,740
but if you are from a different locality

1238
00:49:43,740 --> 00:49:45,180
or state and

1239
00:49:45,180 --> 00:49:48,370
Cleveland Heart Building

1240
00:49:48,380 --> 00:49:50,760
correct or if you don't want to be

1241
00:49:50,760 --> 00:49:52,760
Hardware move here

1242
00:49:52,760 --> 00:49:56,240
don't don't knock down our happies

1243
00:49:56,240 --> 00:49:58,380
that's kind of my point because that

1244
00:49:58,380 --> 00:50:00,240
really strained a whole lot of resources

1245
00:50:00,240 --> 00:50:02,520
I think I do have one more thing to add

1246
00:50:02,520 --> 00:50:04,680
Pulaski County for instance they told me

1247
00:50:04,680 --> 00:50:07,380
that they this past year they received

1248
00:50:07,380 --> 00:50:10,380
1.4 million in revenues off of soft

1249
00:50:10,380 --> 00:50:13,260
billing on the hard billing side since

1250
00:50:13,260 --> 00:50:16,560
2017 they've let they've received just

1251
00:50:16,560 --> 00:50:19,980
over 17 000 in the last five years so

1252
00:50:19,980 --> 00:50:21,720
our billing won't that that doesn't

1253
00:50:21,720 --> 00:50:25,619
result in very much revenue but they do

1254
00:50:25,619 --> 00:50:27,359
have it as their practice there were the

1255
00:50:27,359 --> 00:50:29,160
ones that that were a good example that

1256
00:50:29,160 --> 00:50:30,420
I wanted to

1257
00:50:30,420 --> 00:50:34,079
okay thank you very much

1258
00:50:34,079 --> 00:50:35,660
and

1259
00:50:35,660 --> 00:50:38,040
next item that we discussed the budget

1260
00:50:38,040 --> 00:50:40,319
committee uh was the Mount Rogers health

1261
00:50:40,319 --> 00:50:42,020
district request

1262
00:50:42,020 --> 00:50:44,520
the health district notified me a few

1263
00:50:44,520 --> 00:50:46,859
weeks ago that they have a surplus from

1264
00:50:46,859 --> 00:50:51,660
FY 2122 an amount just shy of thirty

1265
00:50:51,660 --> 00:50:53,579
four thousand dollars largely and due to

1266
00:50:53,579 --> 00:50:57,240
turnover issues and vacancies they

1267
00:50:57,240 --> 00:50:59,400
requested that we allow them to roll

1268
00:50:59,400 --> 00:51:02,220
over those funds to the current fiscal

1269
00:51:02,220 --> 00:51:05,460
year to be used they also know I did

1270
00:51:05,460 --> 00:51:07,740
note that in the past few years we've

1271
00:51:07,740 --> 00:51:10,020
had slight deficits at seven to nine

1272
00:51:10,020 --> 00:51:11,460
thousand dollar range that they have not

1273
00:51:11,460 --> 00:51:14,579
billed us for so it's almost a give and

1274
00:51:14,579 --> 00:51:15,680
take

1275
00:51:15,680 --> 00:51:18,359
and what I've recommended to the

1276
00:51:18,359 --> 00:51:21,300
committee was recommend allowing them to

1277
00:51:21,300 --> 00:51:22,920
roll it over which would hopefully

1278
00:51:22,920 --> 00:51:24,839
result in another Surplus this coming

1279
00:51:24,839 --> 00:51:27,540
fiscal year following discussion Mr

1280
00:51:27,540 --> 00:51:30,059
Sturgill made a motion to recommend

1281
00:51:30,059 --> 00:51:32,640
proving the rollover funding in the

1282
00:51:32,640 --> 00:51:34,099
amount of 33

1283
00:51:34,099 --> 00:51:37,740
912.74 cents with supervisor deals

1284
00:51:37,740 --> 00:51:40,079
sickening the motion and um passing you

1285
00:51:40,079 --> 00:51:41,520
down in this link as a recommendation

1286
00:51:41,520 --> 00:51:43,559
from committee okay that's committee

1287
00:51:43,559 --> 00:51:45,960
recommendation any discussion

1288
00:51:45,960 --> 00:51:47,880
hearing none all those in favor signify

1289
00:51:47,880 --> 00:51:51,300
the same time any opposed likewise I

1290
00:51:51,300 --> 00:51:54,000
believe it was unanimous okay the final

1291
00:51:54,000 --> 00:51:55,619
item was the supplemental appropriation

1292
00:51:55,619 --> 00:51:57,540

1302
00:52:21,780 --> 00:52:24,839
following discussion supervisor Sturgill

aye any opposed likewise

1313
00:52:49,020 --> 00:52:52,730
sounds like that was unanimous

1314
00:52:52,740 --> 00:53:02,690
now going into the Personnel committee

1315
00:53:02,700 --> 00:53:03,900
we're here to proceed with that

1316
00:53:03,900 --> 00:53:06,839
absolutely no problem at all so we the

1317
00:53:06,839 --> 00:53:08,460
um the Personnel committee had a meeting

1318
00:53:08,460 --> 00:53:11,160
on December 2nd at 9 15 very short

1319
00:53:11,160 --> 00:53:13,800
meeting basically had one item to

1320
00:53:13,800 --> 00:53:14,900
discuss

1321
00:53:14,900 --> 00:53:18,900
regarding a potential or a request for

1322
00:53:18,900 --> 00:53:21,480
having a contract related to CDL Drivers

1323
00:53:21,480 --> 00:53:24,000
we're having a difficult time finding

1324
00:53:24,000 --> 00:53:28,319
CDL A's Class A drivers for semi trucks

1325
00:53:28,319 --> 00:53:30,420
and trailers we have had some

1326
00:53:30,420 --> 00:53:32,940
applications for with folks who have

1327
00:53:32,940 --> 00:53:36,180
cdlb which can drive a roll off but not

1328
00:53:36,180 --> 00:53:38,599
with a not a trailer

1329
00:53:38,599 --> 00:53:41,520
following the the lead of several law

1330
00:53:41,520 --> 00:53:44,819
enforcement agencies they

1331
00:53:44,819 --> 00:53:47,160
that we came up with a draft contract

1332
00:53:47,160 --> 00:53:50,579
for basically if we hire a cdlb

1333
00:53:50,579 --> 00:53:53,099
um paying for the training necessary to

1334
00:53:53,099 --> 00:53:55,740
bring them up to a cdla with the

1335
00:53:55,740 --> 00:53:57,900
agreement that they will work for the

1336
00:53:57,900 --> 00:53:59,880
county for a set period of time and if

1337
00:53:59,880 --> 00:54:01,920
they leave prior to that they owe us for

1338
00:54:01,920 --> 00:54:05,900
the cost of the of the training and the

1339
00:54:05,900 --> 00:54:08,760
one of the conversations we had during

1340
00:54:08,760 --> 00:54:11,220
that during the meeting was should we

1341
00:54:11,220 --> 00:54:13,319
have them pay us for the cost of the

1342
00:54:13,319 --> 00:54:15,900
salary also so the law enforcement

1343
00:54:15,900 --> 00:54:17,819
contracts do have that provision where

1344
00:54:17,819 --> 00:54:19,680
they they reimburse for the salary and

1345
00:54:19,680 --> 00:54:21,119
the cost of training and anything else

1346
00:54:21,119 --> 00:54:24,059
related so we can add that language in

1347
00:54:24,059 --> 00:54:27,079
if we needed following discussion

1348
00:54:27,079 --> 00:54:29,220
supervisor Sturgill made a

1349
00:54:29,220 --> 00:54:30,420
recommendation to approve the

1350
00:54:30,420 --> 00:54:31,980
reimbursement contract for training

1351
00:54:31,980 --> 00:54:34,200
expenses for online applicants regarding

1352
00:54:34,200 --> 00:54:37,440
the hiring of cdla drivers as amended to

1353
00:54:37,440 --> 00:54:40,619
include a session for the provision to

1354
00:54:40,619 --> 00:54:43,260
um oh I'm sorry let me take a step back

1355
00:54:43,260 --> 00:54:45,480
the other item that they just discussed

1356
00:54:45,480 --> 00:54:47,819
was what if they failed the class do

1357
00:54:47,819 --> 00:54:50,339
they owe us for that cost and I think

1358
00:54:50,339 --> 00:54:52,440
that needs to be included into it in the

1359
00:54:52,440 --> 00:54:56,040
committee too so to include the amended

1360
00:54:56,040 --> 00:54:57,900
section four for the provision of

1361
00:54:57,900 --> 00:55:00,000
failure to pass the course

1362
00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:02,700
um supervisor Atkins second in the

1363
00:55:02,700 --> 00:55:04,140
motion was passed unanimously so that's

1364
00:55:04,140 --> 00:55:06,599
a recommendation from the committee to

1365
00:55:06,599 --> 00:55:09,180
approve the contract as amended for

1366
00:55:09,180 --> 00:55:12,000
those other two items

1367
00:55:12,000 --> 00:55:13,260
any

1368
00:55:13,260 --> 00:55:14,880
committee recommendation to any

1369
00:55:14,880 --> 00:55:16,920
discussion the copy of the draft

1370
00:55:16,920 --> 00:55:19,200
contract was in the in the packet for

1371
00:55:19,200 --> 00:55:21,059
your review does everyone know what

1372
00:55:21,059 --> 00:55:22,500
we're voting on here

1373
00:55:22,500 --> 00:55:25,160
for putting a new new

1374
00:55:25,160 --> 00:55:27,680
process in place I guess you would say

1375
00:55:27,680 --> 00:55:30,059
and you didn't mention it but it says it

1376
00:55:30,059 --> 00:55:32,339
here but I'm gonna it's for an automatic

1377
00:55:32,339 --> 00:55:33,480
transmission

1378
00:55:33,480 --> 00:55:38,760
we don't own an automatic yes so may I

1379
00:55:38,760 --> 00:55:41,160
ask a question sure we're informal

1380
00:55:41,160 --> 00:55:44,220
is that a full-time or part-time job

1381
00:55:44,220 --> 00:55:46,859
full-time full-time or we do either one

1382
00:55:46,859 --> 00:55:49,500
but we'd rather full-time you know how

1383
00:55:49,500 --> 00:55:55,089
about cdla by any chance do you yes I do

1384
00:55:55,099 --> 00:55:59,210

00:56:08,099 --> 00:56:09,480
I just want to make sure everybody knows

1389
00:56:09,480 --> 00:56:11,460
what we're voting on and the committee

1390
00:56:11,460 --> 00:56:13,740
recommendation is is that we approve the

1391
00:56:13,740 --> 00:56:16,079
reimbursement contract all those in

1392
00:56:16,079 --> 00:56:20,579
favor signify for saying aye any opposed likewise

1393
00:56:20,579 --> 00:56:25,609
sounds like a unanimous

1394
00:56:25,619 --> 00:56:27,480
that's all we have for the person okay

1395
00:56:27,480 --> 00:56:29,280
Public Safety Committee

1396
00:56:29,280 --> 00:56:31,680
that would be me Mr chairman the Public

1397
00:56:31,680 --> 00:56:33,599
Safety Committee met on Tuesday November

1398
00:56:33,599 --> 00:56:36,720
22nd at 2 pm it was a joint meeting held

1399
00:56:36,720 --> 00:56:38,400
with the town of Marion and they are

1400
00:56:38,400 --> 00:56:39,839
fire and

1401
00:56:39,839 --> 00:56:43,040
police committee I think is funny

1402
00:56:43,040 --> 00:56:46,319
okay our name is Vinnie

1403
00:56:46,319 --> 00:56:48,800
um so there was

1404
00:56:48,800 --> 00:56:51,359
our board members and then also guests

1405
00:56:51,359 --> 00:56:52,740
from the town of Marion

1406
00:56:52,740 --> 00:56:54,540
the first item of discussion was an

1407
00:56:54,540 --> 00:56:56,579
update on our Smith County EMS station

1408
00:56:56,579 --> 00:56:59,819
in Atkins Mr Mr Crawford provided an

1409
00:56:59,819 --> 00:57:01,619
update on that station

1410
00:57:01,619 --> 00:57:04,500
and discuss the goals of the agency in

1411
00:57:04,500 --> 00:57:06,960
advance of the Fire EMS location would

1412
00:57:06,960 --> 00:57:08,819
be a backup for all the agencies within

1413
00:57:08,819 --> 00:57:10,020
Smith County

1414
00:57:10,020 --> 00:57:12,900
uh Mr utt said that the primary goal of

1415
00:57:12,900 --> 00:57:14,700
the agency would be providing EMS

1416
00:57:14,700 --> 00:57:17,160
support and Mr Crawford discussed the

1417
00:57:17,160 --> 00:57:19,319
radio frequency and paging that would be

1418
00:57:19,319 --> 00:57:20,520
used and noted that if it became

1419
00:57:20,520 --> 00:57:23,579
burdensome burdensome it would be moved

1420
00:57:23,579 --> 00:57:25,020
to a different Channel

1421
00:57:25,020 --> 00:57:27,599
Chief keezling from Marion Fire EMS was

1422
00:57:27,599 --> 00:57:30,900
here in Aspen County if if the Fire EMS

1423
00:57:30,900 --> 00:57:32,400
station in Atkins would be able to do

1424
00:57:32,400 --> 00:57:34,800
extrication and Mr Crawford noted that

1425
00:57:34,800 --> 00:57:36,540
the county would not have that ability

1426
00:57:36,540 --> 00:57:39,059
initially and would still need to lean

1427
00:57:39,059 --> 00:57:41,760
on marrying a fire department like we

1428
00:57:41,760 --> 00:57:43,680
currently do now Chihuahua District

1429
00:57:43,680 --> 00:57:45,420
supervisor Mr Sturgill advised that the

1430
00:57:45,420 --> 00:57:46,619
new training facility located in

1431
00:57:46,619 --> 00:57:49,140
Chilhowee First Responders could be

1432
00:57:49,140 --> 00:57:51,720
cross-trained there and they advised

1433
00:57:51,720 --> 00:57:52,980
that he would find that it would be

1434
00:57:52,980 --> 00:57:55,200
extremely beneficial for all of the

1435
00:57:55,200 --> 00:57:57,000
Departments across the county

1436
00:57:57,000 --> 00:58:00,380
in your packet you'll see starting on

1437
00:58:00,380 --> 00:58:05,059
page 128 is a map of all of these

1438
00:58:05,059 --> 00:58:07,980
assignments for the county I discussion

1439
00:58:07,980 --> 00:58:09,780
was had with Mr Rush from the town of

1440
00:58:09,780 --> 00:58:13,020
Marion regarding those DSN assignments

1441
00:58:13,020 --> 00:58:15,540
and ask if the Atkins ESN would benefit

1442
00:58:15,540 --> 00:58:17,819
the group Mr Crocker advised that he

1443
00:58:17,819 --> 00:58:20,040
would have the changes drawn up and

1444
00:58:20,040 --> 00:58:21,960
distributed for approval showing the

1445
00:58:21,960 --> 00:58:26,339
Atkins esn's of 560 538 and 559 changed

1446
00:58:26,339 --> 00:58:28,800
to reflect the County EMS as the primary

1447
00:58:28,800 --> 00:58:34,319
agency instead of Rural Retreat and man

1448
00:58:34,319 --> 00:58:36,059
the next item and discussion was the

1449
00:58:36,059 --> 00:58:39,059
Smith County and expectations Mr shared

1450
00:58:39,059 --> 00:58:40,619
a handout to summarize the expectations

1451
00:58:40,619 --> 00:58:42,660
for EMS operations and accounting and

1452
00:58:42,660 --> 00:58:44,220
the next steps that will be taken moving

1453
00:58:44,220 --> 00:58:47,220
forward he advised the CIS agreements

1454
00:58:47,220 --> 00:58:49,260
progress progresses whether County

1455
00:58:49,260 --> 00:58:51,540
operated agency or contracted with each

1456
00:58:51,540 --> 00:58:53,400
town or a combination specific

1457
00:58:53,400 --> 00:58:55,380
expectations would be identified and

1458
00:58:55,380 --> 00:58:58,020
create create goals for each agency

1459
00:58:58,020 --> 00:59:00,780
the list of expectations was discussed

1460
00:59:00,780 --> 00:59:02,220
in Mr advised that the full agreement

1461
00:59:02,220 --> 00:59:03,780
would be drafted using these bullet

1462
00:59:03,780 --> 00:59:06,299
points for further review and Mr Rush

1463
00:59:06,299 --> 00:59:08,099
noted that he felt all the points were

1464
00:59:08,099 --> 00:59:09,780
manageable and he supported the effort

1465
00:59:09,780 --> 00:59:11,880
and you will find that list of both

1466
00:59:11,880 --> 00:59:17,099
points on page 127 and those are for EMS

1467
00:59:17,099 --> 00:59:20,520
agencies with a call load of over 500 or

1468
00:59:20,520 --> 00:59:23,460
5 500 things about money 500 calls per

1469
00:59:23,460 --> 00:59:24,299
year

1470
00:59:24,299 --> 00:59:26,880
so that would basically be chillowing

1471
00:59:26,880 --> 00:59:28,819
and yeah

1472
00:59:28,819 --> 00:59:32,400
so our three towns so and us and in the

1473
00:59:32,400 --> 00:59:33,720
county yes

1474
00:59:33,720 --> 00:59:35,640

1475
00:59:35,640 --> 00:59:38,160

1476
00:59:38,160 --> 00:59:41,099

1484
00:59:57,359 --> 00:59:59,940

01:00:24,599 --> 01:00:27,540
throughout each day and possibly using a

01:00:27,540 --> 01:00:29,940
web-based app and then having a point of

1498
01:00:29,940 --> 01:00:31,920

1500
01:00:34,260 --> 01:00:35,220

safety department to resolve any

1503
01:00:38,700 --> 01:00:40,619
administrative issues that may arise on

1504
01:00:40,619 --> 01:00:42,960
a day-to-day basis and this person would

1505
01:00:42,960 --> 01:00:45,299
be available at minimum during normal

1506
01:00:45,299 --> 01:00:47,760
business hours throughout the week

1507
01:00:47,760 --> 01:00:49,319
the next item of discussion was the

1508
01:00:49,319 --> 01:00:51,480
Smith County auto aim discussion which

1509
01:00:51,480 --> 01:00:52,680
you all know

1510
01:00:52,680 --> 01:00:54,540
how passionate I am about that and I'm

1511
01:00:54,540 --> 01:00:56,040
thankful to say that I think we are

1512
01:00:56,040 --> 01:00:59,280
finally coming to an end and all finally

1513
01:00:59,280 --> 01:01:02,400
working together the discussion start

1514
01:01:02,400 --> 01:01:04,140
with Mr Crawford minister of providing

1515
01:01:04,140 --> 01:01:06,180
maps and a quick overview of the auto

1516
01:01:06,180 --> 01:01:08,880
Aid concept Mr Crawford noted that all

1517
01:01:08,880 --> 01:01:11,040
agencies are on board with the plan

1518
01:01:11,040 --> 01:01:13,440
except for the town of Marion discussion

1519
01:01:13,440 --> 01:01:15,299
ensued about logistics and expectations

1520
01:01:15,299 --> 01:01:17,819
of the project and Mr Crawford confirmed

1521
01:01:17,819 --> 01:01:18,960
that the town of Marion would have

1522
01:01:18,960 --> 01:01:20,220
certain equipment that would only

1523
01:01:20,220 --> 01:01:22,200
provide services to specific locations

1524
01:01:22,200 --> 01:01:24,660
in Atkins sugar grove and the ad wolf

1525
01:01:24,660 --> 01:01:26,460
areas and would not be responding with

1526
01:01:26,460 --> 01:01:28,619
all equipment to all fires further

1527
01:01:28,619 --> 01:01:31,140
discussion ensued and Mr Jim Barker from

1528
01:01:31,140 --> 01:01:33,599
the Marion Town Council requested a

1529
01:01:33,599 --> 01:01:35,700
formal presentation at the next town of

1530
01:01:35,700 --> 01:01:37,559
Marion council meeting on December 5th

1531
01:01:37,559 --> 01:01:39,540
Mr edavis that would be a great

1532
01:01:39,540 --> 01:01:41,220
opportunity to answer questions or

1533
01:01:41,220 --> 01:01:43,440
concerns by the Town Council I think

1534
01:01:43,440 --> 01:01:47,160
upon completion of that presentation

1535
01:01:47,160 --> 01:01:49,500
the Town Council had been misinformed

1536
01:01:49,500 --> 01:01:51,599
about what the program looked like I

1537
01:01:51,599 --> 01:01:52,680
think they have a better understanding

1538
01:01:52,680 --> 01:01:54,359
of that now and they seem to be on board

1539
01:01:54,359 --> 01:01:56,339
yeah they asked for a copy of the

1540
01:01:56,339 --> 01:01:58,020
agreement that we've emailed them the

1541
01:01:58,020 --> 01:01:59,700
copy of the full agreement so I think

1542
01:01:59,700 --> 01:02:01,260
the next council meeting they'll vote on

1543
01:02:01,260 --> 01:02:04,200
it will be good for toward the end of

1544
01:02:04,200 --> 01:02:07,020
December moving forward county-wide

1545
01:02:07,020 --> 01:02:09,900
and since the time Marion was not

1546
01:02:09,900 --> 01:02:12,599
participating by default that excluded

1547
01:02:12,599 --> 01:02:14,099
Atkins and Sugar Grove from being able

1548
01:02:14,099 --> 01:02:15,780
to participate because Marion was a big

1549
01:02:15,780 --> 01:02:18,420
hole in the center so thankfully with

1550
01:02:18,420 --> 01:02:20,460
them coming on board now can be a full

1551
01:02:20,460 --> 01:02:23,640
county-wide auto aid program that better

1552
01:02:23,640 --> 01:02:25,680
serves our citizens which is the whole

1553
01:02:25,680 --> 01:02:27,540
point of this whole thing

1554
01:02:27,540 --> 01:02:30,359
so our vision for Smith County public

1555
01:02:30,359 --> 01:02:32,640
safety was the next item of discussion

1556
01:02:32,640 --> 01:02:34,980
and Mr Crawford provided a document of

1557
01:02:34,980 --> 01:02:37,740
that Vision which is in your packet and

1558
01:02:37,740 --> 01:02:41,220
it begins on page 135 it is an excellent

1559
01:02:41,220 --> 01:02:43,020
document so if you have not reviewed

1560
01:02:43,020 --> 01:02:45,660
that I highly recommend that you do so

1561
01:02:45,660 --> 01:02:48,299
it includes a vision of moving forward

1562
01:02:48,299 --> 01:02:50,460
with station two which is the former

1563
01:02:50,460 --> 01:02:52,500

1564
01:02:52,500 --> 01:02:55,980
Park Street in Marion we're considering

1565
01:02:55,980 --> 01:02:58,799
using that as a Dispatch Center and

1566
01:02:58,799 --> 01:03:01,400
Emergency Operations Center and we have

1567
01:03:01,400 --> 01:03:04,440
quite a deep discussion about that

1568
01:03:04,440 --> 01:03:06,599
and with no further risk to discuss will

1569
01:03:06,599 --> 01:03:09,299

uh basically I would call it spring

1588
01:03:56,040 --> 01:03:58,559
cleaning it was more fall cleaning there

1589
01:03:58,559 --> 01:04:00,359

01:04:00,359 --> 01:04:02,460
to Surplus and two pieces of equipment

1591
01:04:02,460 --> 01:04:05,520

um the five vehicles from the sheriff's

1593
01:04:07,380 --> 01:04:08,180

a sewer a sewer jet trailer mounted

1595
01:04:11,220 --> 01:04:13,260
sewer jet that hasn't worked in a few

1596
01:04:13,260 --> 01:04:17,280
years we also had a air compressor that

1597
01:04:17,280 --> 01:04:20,280
has had some problems that we've deemed

1598
01:04:20,280 --> 01:04:23,460
and then unable to fix or just doesn't

1599
01:04:23,460 --> 01:04:27,119
make any cost it's not cost effective so

1600
01:04:27,119 --> 01:04:31,799
for those seven items a motion was made

1601
01:04:31,799 --> 01:04:35,220
by Mr call to recommend declaring it all

1602
01:04:35,220 --> 01:04:38,579

1608
01:04:54,900 --> 01:04:57,059

01:06:04,920 --> 01:06:07,859
um Mr call and Miss deal were present

1639
01:06:07,859 --> 01:06:11,220
we have one item to discuss larger item

1640
01:06:11,220 --> 01:06:13,680
to discuss a wire line upgrade

1641
01:06:13,680 --> 01:06:16,559
um so Mr Williams had reported that he

1642
01:06:16,559 --> 01:06:17,940
was approached by the town of Marion

1643
01:06:17,940 --> 01:06:19,920
regarding the upgrade to water lines on

1644
01:06:19,920 --> 01:06:22,520
West Chilhowee Street

1645
01:06:22,520 --> 01:06:25,020
the town had asked the county if they

1646
01:06:25,020 --> 01:06:26,339
were interested in paying for the

1647
01:06:26,339 --> 01:06:28,260
upgrade from it they're replacing the

1648
01:06:28,260 --> 01:06:30,480
line with a new two inch line they

1649
01:06:30,480 --> 01:06:32,579
suggested maybe it'd be a smart

1650
01:06:32,579 --> 01:06:34,440
investment on for us to pay for the

1651
01:06:34,440 --> 01:06:37,460
difference from a two inch to a six inch

1652
01:06:37,460 --> 01:06:40,920
we sent an email out to the Lane group

1653
01:06:40,920 --> 01:06:43,380
to review the project to see what kind

1654
01:06:43,380 --> 01:06:45,539
of benefit we could have the town

1655
01:06:45,539 --> 01:06:49,500
thought it would be a a cost of thirty

1656
01:06:49,500 --> 01:06:51,420
thousand dollars after reviewing

1657
01:06:51,420 --> 01:06:53,220
everything we realized that the county

1658
01:06:53,220 --> 01:06:56,819
line on the mat on the on paper said

1659
01:06:56,819 --> 01:07:00,359
that we went across the creek and were

1660
01:07:00,359 --> 01:07:02,400
within a few feet of the town of Marion

1661
01:07:02,400 --> 01:07:04,380
which in reality we're about 900 feet

1662
01:07:04,380 --> 01:07:06,240
away from the creek

1663
01:07:06,240 --> 01:07:09,180
sort of the creek correct um so the cost

1664
01:07:09,180 --> 01:07:11,700
went from a 30 000 estimate to about 150

1665
01:07:11,700 --> 01:07:13,859
000 so because he had a bore under the

1666
01:07:13,859 --> 01:07:15,059
creek

1667
01:07:15,059 --> 01:07:18,359
um so they'll know that that's uh

1668
01:07:18,359 --> 01:07:21,720
as it as advantageous because of uh we

1669
01:07:21,720 --> 01:07:23,160
were hoping that we could spend thirty

1670
01:07:23,160 --> 01:07:24,240
thousand dollars and be able to get fire

1671
01:07:24,240 --> 01:07:26,819
flow in different parts of the county

1672
01:07:26,819 --> 01:07:28,619
um I think if it's going to spend 150

1673
01:07:28,619 --> 01:07:30,059
000 we wanted to take a step back and

1674
01:07:30,059 --> 01:07:31,859
see where we could put that in better

1675
01:07:31,859 --> 01:07:34,380
spots to get more fireflow capability

1676
01:07:34,380 --> 01:07:39,710
that was more of an informational item

1677
01:07:39,720 --> 01:07:43,200
the next item we talked about were two

1678
01:07:43,200 --> 01:07:46,020
DEQ sewer grants that we were at applied

1679
01:07:46,020 --> 01:07:48,660
for we applied for one on Staley Creek

1680
01:07:48,660 --> 01:07:51,240
route 16. we had a sewer line at father

1681
01:07:51,240 --> 01:07:56,039
Staley Creek that is in Parts in the

1682
01:07:56,039 --> 01:07:57,960
creek or under the creek and the

1683
01:07:57,960 --> 01:08:01,740
manholes are are leaky and we have when

1684
01:08:01,740 --> 01:08:04,140
it's when it rains we the town of Marion

1685
01:08:04,140 --> 01:08:05,880
treats a lot of water for us a lot of

1686
01:08:05,880 --> 01:08:08,460
sewer for us because it's just the rain

1687
01:08:08,460 --> 01:08:10,200
water it's not it's not the good thing

1688
01:08:10,200 --> 01:08:12,059
is the sewer's not yet now it's the

1689
01:08:12,059 --> 01:08:13,680
rainwater getting in

1690
01:08:13,680 --> 01:08:17,100
um so we we did have a uh an offer of

1691
01:08:17,100 --> 01:08:20,460
500 600 from DEQ for a zero percent

1692
01:08:20,460 --> 01:08:23,160
interest loan over over a period of 30

1693
01:08:23,160 --> 01:08:24,480
years

1694
01:08:24,480 --> 01:08:26,819
um I think the rli is going to make

1695
01:08:26,819 --> 01:08:30,779
sense for that one uh and uh in late

1696
01:08:30,779 --> 01:08:32,699
spring we should hear whether there's

1697
01:08:32,699 --> 01:08:34,739
some Grant funds available

1698
01:08:34,739 --> 01:08:37,920
they did they the state didn't want to

1699
01:08:37,920 --> 01:08:39,359
make the grant funds available yet

1700
01:08:39,359 --> 01:08:40,920
because they haven't they don't have

1701
01:08:40,920 --> 01:08:42,120
anything finalized from the federal

1702
01:08:42,120 --> 01:08:44,940
government on the clean water portion of

1703
01:08:44,940 --> 01:08:46,679
their funds but there's a chance that we

1704
01:08:46,679 --> 01:08:48,179
can have

1705
01:08:48,179 --> 01:08:50,100
is called forgivable

1706
01:08:50,100 --> 01:08:52,319
principal forgiveness they can't call it

1707
01:08:52,319 --> 01:08:53,759
grants they call it personal forgiveness

1708
01:08:53,759 --> 01:08:57,719
but I think we do have a good project

1709
01:08:57,719 --> 01:09:01,380
there no action was necessary yet the

1710
01:09:01,380 --> 01:09:03,239
second project we talked about was a bit

1711
01:09:03,239 --> 01:09:06,839
larger project to get sewer out at gross

1712
01:09:06,839 --> 01:09:09,179
close exit 54 I think we've looked at

1713
01:09:09,179 --> 01:09:10,799
this several times over over the past

1714
01:09:10,799 --> 01:09:15,000
several years the initial project ranged

1715
01:09:15,000 --> 01:09:18,500
from 3.8 million dollars to 6.3 million

1716
01:09:18,500 --> 01:09:21,600
the offer from DEQ was at the initial

1717
01:09:21,600 --> 01:09:24,359
3.8 million dollar range with a 0.5

1718
01:09:24,359 --> 01:09:27,120
interest rate over 30 years the problem

1719
01:09:27,120 --> 01:09:30,779
there is that's that project only has 20

1720
01:09:30,779 --> 01:09:34,160
customers that you can't get cash flow a

1721
01:09:34,160 --> 01:09:36,420
4 million dollar project with 20

1722
01:09:36,420 --> 01:09:38,160
customers you're talking twelve thousand

1723
01:09:38,160 --> 01:09:41,000
dollars a month just for that service

1724
01:09:41,000 --> 01:09:43,920
looking at the larger project of closer

1725
01:09:43,920 --> 01:09:46,799
to the Six Million Dollar Mark that gets

1726
01:09:46,799 --> 01:09:49,980
us upwards of 100 plus customers and if

1727
01:09:49,980 --> 01:09:53,279
we get some principal forgiveness that

1728
01:09:53,279 --> 01:09:55,320
might start making some sense so we're

1729
01:09:55,320 --> 01:09:57,719
going to hit the pause button on that

1730
01:09:57,719 --> 01:10:00,480
hoping that we get a hefty principle

1731
01:10:00,480 --> 01:10:03,420
forgiveness amount offer for that again

1732
01:10:03,420 --> 01:10:06,000
just informational at this point and

1733
01:10:06,000 --> 01:10:09,239
that no further business the meeting was

1734
01:10:09,239 --> 01:10:12,420
just adjourned at 10 13. go ahead

1735
01:10:12,420 --> 01:10:14,640
Mr chair I just wanted to note too I did

1736
01:10:14,640 --> 01:10:16,320
have a conversation with Senator

1737
01:10:16,320 --> 01:10:19,140
pillion's office about this project and

1738
01:10:19,140 --> 01:10:21,300
they indicated that they would like to

1739
01:10:21,300 --> 01:10:24,179
support us on this however they can in

1740
01:10:24,179 --> 01:10:26,580
working with DEQ so be sure to keep them

1741
01:10:26,580 --> 01:10:28,440
LinkedIn on it and we did we did talk to

1742
01:10:28,440 --> 01:10:30,540
him quite a bit and I think they

1743
01:10:30,540 --> 01:10:32,880
understood they're they're encouraging

1744
01:10:32,880 --> 01:10:35,159
for the potential for commercial

1745
01:10:35,159 --> 01:10:36,380
development

1746
01:10:36,380 --> 01:10:38,340
the problem

1747
01:10:38,340 --> 01:10:40,860
with the the cash flow I think that he

1748
01:10:40,860 --> 01:10:42,480
understood so he was going to try and

1749
01:10:42,480 --> 01:10:44,699
encourage as much principal forgiveness

1750
01:10:44,699 --> 01:10:47,520
as we as he could muster also

1751
01:10:47,520 --> 01:10:49,620
how much interest is mustard Lumber

1752
01:10:49,620 --> 01:10:51,239
Company showed in uh

1753
01:10:51,239 --> 01:10:53,520
needing the sewer there have they shown

1754
01:10:53,520 --> 01:10:56,699
any not as much lesser but the property

1755
01:10:56,699 --> 01:11:00,360
owner Mr Bunn he's offered to to put

1756
01:11:00,360 --> 01:11:03,000
some some money into it but I don't

1757
01:11:03,000 --> 01:11:05,699
expect seven figures to break it down I

1758
01:11:05,699 --> 01:11:06,540
mean

1759
01:11:06,540 --> 01:11:08,699
um it would have to be a substantial

1760
01:11:08,699 --> 01:11:10,679
amount of cash to to bring it down to

1761
01:11:10,679 --> 01:11:13,920
where it's cash flowable but they are

1762
01:11:13,920 --> 01:11:15,420
interested in getting sued because we

1763
01:11:15,420 --> 01:11:17,699
can do a lot with uh well it's there's

1764
01:11:17,699 --> 01:11:19,199
some beautiful restaurant sites up

1765
01:11:19,199 --> 01:11:21,840
through there too if we had a sewer in

1766
01:11:21,840 --> 01:11:24,900
that area and the the 6.3 million dollar

1767
01:11:24,900 --> 01:11:27,659
version that brought

1768
01:11:27,659 --> 01:11:31,580
that took the sewer line up up the hill

1769
01:11:31,580 --> 01:11:35,820
east of the exit a fair a fair way to

1770
01:11:35,820 --> 01:11:38,100
get some residential connections and it

1771
01:11:38,100 --> 01:11:40,140
also caught the residential connections

1772
01:11:40,140 --> 01:11:41,760
following around 11 all the way down to

1773
01:11:41,760 --> 01:11:43,199
the space side

1774
01:11:43,199 --> 01:11:45,840
um the 3.8 when that's just the pump

1775
01:11:45,840 --> 01:11:48,239
station that pumps along the rail the

1776
01:11:48,239 --> 01:11:49,679
train tracks and doesn't get any

1777
01:11:49,679 --> 01:11:52,020
residential connections past the

1778
01:11:52,020 --> 01:11:53,820
Brickyard now is it the one that comes

1779
01:11:53,820 --> 01:11:55,880
is it still coming down from the

1780
01:11:55,880 --> 01:11:57,960
convenience station on the interstate or

1781
01:11:57,960 --> 01:12:00,120
is it actually coming up this would be a

1782
01:12:00,120 --> 01:12:02,580
follow the railroad okay

1783
01:12:02,580 --> 01:12:05,830
foreign

1784
01:12:05,840 --> 01:12:08,699
I never want to miss a chance to share

1785
01:12:08,699 --> 01:12:12,300
my vision and dreams but when folks are

1786
01:12:12,300 --> 01:12:15,300
traveling south on 81 that exit is

1787
01:12:15,300 --> 01:12:16,920
really you're welcome to Smith County

1788
01:12:16,920 --> 01:12:19,520
and it's not very

1789
01:12:19,520 --> 01:12:22,800
aesthetically pleasing and also I would

1790
01:12:22,800 --> 01:12:25,320
love to see a sign that said would you

1791
01:12:25,320 --> 01:12:26,880
like a chance to hike the Appalachian

1792
01:12:26,880 --> 01:12:28,620
Trail here's your chance be a great

1793
01:12:28,620 --> 01:12:30,360
place to pull off and

1794
01:12:30,360 --> 01:12:33,179
walk your dog or take a break and walk

1795
01:12:33,179 --> 01:12:34,800
the Appalachian Trail this be a great

1796
01:12:34,800 --> 01:12:36,239
way to promote the county in my opinion

1797
01:12:36,239 --> 01:12:38,699
and I think having utilities there to

1798
01:12:38,699 --> 01:12:42,080
encourage growth is important wow

1799
01:12:42,080 --> 01:12:44,699
maintaining our beauty of being a rural

1800
01:12:44,699 --> 01:12:50,830
campaign just just

1801
01:12:50,840 --> 01:12:52,800
already

1802
01:12:52,800 --> 01:12:57,890
moving on now

1803
01:12:57,900 --> 01:13:00,060
I guess we're into new business anybody

1804
01:13:00,060 --> 01:13:02,340
thinks any other old business hearing

1805
01:13:02,340 --> 01:13:04,440
none the Green Acres Evergreen Court

1806
01:13:04,440 --> 01:13:06,360
Revenue sharing project

1807
01:13:06,360 --> 01:13:09,120
I think reported reported last month

1808
01:13:09,120 --> 01:13:12,060
that the VDOT they were able to pull

1809
01:13:12,060 --> 01:13:14,400
together funding to to get this project

1810
01:13:14,400 --> 01:13:17,640
funded for the revenue sharing in your

1811
01:13:17,640 --> 01:13:20,760
packet it is some updated agreements

1812
01:13:20,760 --> 01:13:22,739
we've approved agreements about three

1813
01:13:22,739 --> 01:13:25,140
years ago I guess but the language has

1814
01:13:25,140 --> 01:13:26,640
changed so we have some update

1815
01:13:26,640 --> 01:13:28,679
agreements for you what I'd like to do

1816
01:13:28,679 --> 01:13:30,620
is is recommend

1817
01:13:30,620 --> 01:13:33,000
approval of the of the agreements and

1818
01:13:33,000 --> 01:13:34,020
authorization of the County

1819
01:13:34,020 --> 01:13:36,120
Administrator to execute them on on the

1820
01:13:36,120 --> 01:13:38,699
County's behalf also there's a map

1821
01:13:38,699 --> 01:13:42,900
showing the area there on page one

1822
01:13:42,900 --> 01:13:47,580
52 of the proposed

1823
01:13:47,580 --> 01:13:52,130
areas to be paved

1824
01:13:52,140 --> 01:13:54,420
I had a question and I meant to ask you

1825
01:13:54,420 --> 01:13:55,920
this earlier

1826
01:13:55,920 --> 01:13:57,780
he said that the total cost of the

1827
01:13:57,780 --> 01:13:59,520
Project's 248

1828
01:13:59,520 --> 01:14:01,440
000 50 of which will need to come from

1829
01:14:01,440 --> 01:14:03,540
the county do we not have to pay for the

1830
01:14:03,540 --> 01:14:05,760
whole thing and then we get half of it

1831
01:14:05,760 --> 01:14:08,040
back from this yeah we pay for all of it

1832
01:14:08,040 --> 01:14:09,659
up front our our Outlet is going to be

1833
01:14:09,659 --> 01:14:11,520
248 000. I just want to make sure

1834
01:14:11,520 --> 01:14:13,320
everybody on the board realizes that yes

1835
01:14:13,320 --> 01:14:16,080
sir yeah okay I'm I'm expecting actual

1836
01:14:16,080 --> 01:14:19,500
construction to be next fiscal year but

1837
01:14:19,500 --> 01:14:21,120
we may end up having to do a budget

1838
01:14:21,120 --> 01:14:23,520
amendment toward in the spring if it

1839
01:14:23,520 --> 01:14:27,239
does go faster than expected okay

1840
01:14:27,239 --> 01:14:28,800
I don't know just something there I

1841
01:14:28,800 --> 01:14:30,239
wanted to make sure we were all aware of

1842
01:14:30,239 --> 01:14:33,000
what you know the the owners of the

1843
01:14:33,000 --> 01:14:34,739
property won't pass back half of it but

1844
01:14:34,739 --> 01:14:37,020
it'll be over probably teach you five

1845
01:14:37,020 --> 01:14:40,500
years ten years Ten Years Years okay

1846
01:14:40,500 --> 01:14:42,000
um but we will have to come up with all

1847
01:14:42,000 --> 01:14:43,739
of it up front to give the VDOT and then

1848
01:14:43,739 --> 01:14:46,860
they'll pay what they want to move

1849
01:14:46,860 --> 01:14:48,060
forward

1850
01:14:48,060 --> 01:14:50,159
uh there's nothing for us to vote on

1851
01:14:50,159 --> 01:14:52,739
right now uh recommendation to authorize

1852
01:14:52,739 --> 01:14:58,390
me to execute the agreements already

1853
01:14:58,400 --> 01:15:00,900
we have a motion in a second to approve

1854
01:15:00,900 --> 01:15:03,300
this any discussion

1855
01:15:03,300 --> 01:15:05,340
hearing done all those in favor signify

1856
01:15:05,340 --> 01:15:08,760
by saying aye any pose likewise

1857
01:15:08,760 --> 01:15:11,340
I'm happy to see progress going forward

1858
01:15:11,340 --> 01:15:18,530
okay

1859
01:15:18,540 --> 01:15:20,520
EMS billing agreement do we need to

1860
01:15:20,520 --> 01:15:22,020
discuss that because we haven't had the

1861
01:15:22,020 --> 01:15:26,340
public hearing yet on well this is the billing agent that would do the

1862
01:15:26,340 --> 01:15:28,739
third party billing for us so in order

1863
01:15:28,739 --> 01:15:32,820
to get things set up with them uh I

1864
01:15:32,820 --> 01:15:34,020
thought it would be

1865
01:15:34,020 --> 01:15:38,400
well let's take a step back if the board

1866
01:15:38,400 --> 01:15:41,400
doesn't plan on approving any fee

1867
01:15:41,400 --> 01:15:43,800
schedule then we don't need this but I

1868
01:15:43,800 --> 01:15:45,179
think we will have to have some type of

1869
01:15:45,179 --> 01:15:46,380
fee schedule I think there is an

1870
01:15:46,380 --> 01:15:49,020
expectation to do some level of building

1871
01:15:49,020 --> 01:15:50,880
so we can either wait until the public

1872
01:15:50,880 --> 01:15:52,560
Hearing in January or we can go ahead

1873
01:15:52,560 --> 01:15:54,960
and I'd recommend go and approve it

1874
01:15:54,960 --> 01:15:56,520
tonight because there are some there are

1875
01:15:56,520 --> 01:15:58,020
several things we need to do to get

1876
01:15:58,020 --> 01:16:00,600
things rolling on there with Medicaid

1877
01:16:00,600 --> 01:16:02,640
and Medicare and the insurance billing

1878
01:16:02,640 --> 01:16:03,840
set up

1879
01:16:03,840 --> 01:16:05,580
that billing is almost like putting the

1880
01:16:05,580 --> 01:16:07,260
card before the horse it is which

1881
01:16:07,260 --> 01:16:09,420
doesn't make any sense but but even

1882
01:16:09,420 --> 01:16:11,159
after we get approved for Medicaid

1883
01:16:11,159 --> 01:16:12,840
building building

1884
01:16:12,840 --> 01:16:15,060
um we won't we don't expect to get

1885
01:16:15,060 --> 01:16:17,760
revenues for four months usually three

1886
01:16:17,760 --> 01:16:21,000
to four months after we start so

1887
01:16:21,000 --> 01:16:22,920
yeah they're very timely I understand

1888
01:16:22,920 --> 01:16:25,620
they are they are but the recommendation

1889
01:16:25,620 --> 01:16:27,659
would be to approve the agreement and

1890
01:16:27,659 --> 01:16:29,460
authorize me to execute on the counties

1891
01:16:29,460 --> 01:16:34,080
okay do we have a motion to approve it can we

1892
01:16:34,080 --> 01:16:35,340
have a second second

1893
01:16:35,340 --> 01:16:36,960
Motion in a second any further

1894
01:16:36,960 --> 01:16:38,520
discussion

1895
01:16:38,520 --> 01:16:43,739
all those in favor signify the saying I any of those likewise

1896
01:16:43,739 --> 01:16:46,980
once again we're unanimous

1897
01:16:46,980 --> 01:16:49,199
all righty do we have anything else that

1898
01:16:49,199 --> 01:16:50,280
we need

1899
01:16:50,280 --> 01:16:52,620
I will go for a report from the county

1900
01:16:52,620 --> 01:16:56,410
attorney

1901
01:16:56,420 --> 01:16:58,860
I'll still be quiet

1902
01:16:58,860 --> 01:17:02,100
um thank you Mr chairman uh the only bit

1903
01:17:02,100 --> 01:17:04,739
of news I have really is the D

1904
01:17:04,739 --> 01:17:07,320
Morrison building was finally recorded

1905
01:17:07,320 --> 01:17:09,960
she said the county owns this building

1906
01:17:09,960 --> 01:17:12,960
it was recorded last week along with the

1907
01:17:12,960 --> 01:17:16,560
easements and the other agreements so

1908
01:17:16,560 --> 01:17:17,340
um

1909
01:17:17,340 --> 01:17:19,679
you can now spend some more money on

1910
01:17:19,679 --> 01:17:22,400
your remodeling I guess

1911
01:17:22,400 --> 01:17:25,800
anyway so that was recorded now in the

1912
01:17:25,800 --> 01:17:26,940
building

1913
01:17:26,940 --> 01:17:28,739
um other than that just working on a few

1914
01:17:28,739 --> 01:17:30,840
miscellaneous things one we'll talk

1915
01:17:30,840 --> 01:17:32,760
about in closed session but um

1916
01:17:32,760 --> 01:17:34,320
that's all I have to report unless

1917
01:17:34,320 --> 01:17:38,100
anyone has any questions for you

1918
01:17:38,100 --> 01:17:43,910
appreciate your work you do for us

1919
01:17:43,920 --> 01:17:47,520

supervisor comment down

1925
01:18:04,140 --> 01:18:10,010
myself

1926
01:18:10,020 --> 01:18:15,350
um

1927
01:18:15,360 --> 01:18:17,699
I guess

1928
01:18:17,699 --> 01:18:19,440
I don't know if I need to talk about

1929
01:18:19,440 --> 01:18:20,640
something but I don't know where to talk

1930
01:18:20,640 --> 01:18:21,840
about it here or starting the

1931
01:18:21,840 --> 01:18:23,300
PlayStation I mean

1932
01:18:23,300 --> 01:18:25,860
I'm just going to hold on for that I do

1933
01:18:25,860 --> 01:18:27,300
want to make the comment we talked about

1934
01:18:27,300 --> 01:18:29,699
a lot about EMS tonight and if the

1935
01:18:29,699 --> 01:18:31,260
citizens of the county will look back at

1936
01:18:31,260 --> 01:18:33,540
work where we were three years ago with

1937
01:18:33,540 --> 01:18:35,580
EMS in the county and where we're at now

1938
01:18:35,580 --> 01:18:37,980
I'm hoping that Public Safety wise we

1939
01:18:37,980 --> 01:18:41,040
are a lot further down the road we're if

1940
01:18:41,040 --> 01:18:42,659
you live out in the rural area and you

1941
01:18:42,659 --> 01:18:46,880
need help be it fire rescue or what that

1942
01:18:46,880 --> 01:18:49,500
we had Fairly good in the past I'm

1943
01:18:49,500 --> 01:18:51,840
hoping it's better now and we're working

1944
01:18:51,840 --> 01:18:53,820
to make it even better and I I

1945
01:18:53,820 --> 01:18:55,500
appreciate the public bearing with us

1946
01:18:55,500 --> 01:18:56,699
that we've gone through some trying

1947
01:18:56,699 --> 01:18:59,340
times but I think we're getting there

1948
01:18:59,340 --> 01:19:01,980
and I think this board for making some

1949
01:19:01,980 --> 01:19:04,620
decisions has helped us move there and

1950
01:19:04,620 --> 01:19:06,239
when it was first brought up three four

1951
01:19:06,239 --> 01:19:07,860
years ago there was some significant

1952
01:19:07,860 --> 01:19:10,500
dollar figures thrown out there that was

1953
01:19:10,500 --> 01:19:12,659
going to have to spend who's going to

1954
01:19:12,659 --> 01:19:15,000
have to spend immediately and I think we

1955
01:19:15,000 --> 01:19:16,920
have got the job done without spending

1956
01:19:16,920 --> 01:19:19,380
that we spent a lot of money but not the

1957
01:19:19,380 --> 01:19:21,120
huge amount at one time like they had

1958
01:19:21,120 --> 01:19:22,679
suggested and I think we've got more

1959
01:19:22,679 --> 01:19:24,360
than we thought we could get so

1960
01:19:24,360 --> 01:19:26,580
appreciate the public bearing with us on

1961
01:19:26,580 --> 01:19:30,179
that we hope to continue to improve it

1962
01:19:30,179 --> 01:19:31,020
um

1963
01:19:31,020 --> 01:19:33,960
otherwise I hope our board member who's

1964
01:19:33,960 --> 01:19:35,340
not who's not with us tonight did

1965
01:19:35,340 --> 01:19:37,260
illness gets to doing better and get

1966
01:19:37,260 --> 01:19:39,480
back with us next month I hope everyone

1967
01:19:39,480 --> 01:19:42,360
has a nice Christmas and remember the

1968
01:19:42,360 --> 01:19:44,219
reason for the season

1969
01:19:44,219 --> 01:19:47,280
all these Hallmark shows on TV talk

1970
01:19:47,280 --> 01:19:52,560
about love and everything else but it's a baby in a cradle in a Manger

1971
01:19:52,560 --> 01:19:54,840
that's the reason for the season and the

1972
01:19:54,840 --> 01:19:56,820
love that goes with that so let's

1973
01:19:56,820 --> 01:20:00,470
remember that

1974
01:20:00,480 --> 01:20:02,520
next

1975
01:20:02,520 --> 01:20:05,880
don't worry I knew it I knew it was

1976
01:20:05,880 --> 01:20:08,640
reading I thank you Mr chairman I I too

1977
01:20:08,640 --> 01:20:12,480
want to commend the AMS folks and the

1978
01:20:12,480 --> 01:20:15,120
Public Safety Committee there have been

1979
01:20:15,120 --> 01:20:19,020
long hard discussions and I appreciate

1980
01:20:19,020 --> 01:20:20,940
the patience with those who serve on

1981
01:20:20,940 --> 01:20:22,440
that committee with me because you all

1982
01:20:22,440 --> 01:20:23,580
know and I'm passionate about something

1983
01:20:23,580 --> 01:20:25,620
I'm not going to shut up about it

1984
01:20:25,620 --> 01:20:27,840
especially if it best serves our

1985
01:20:27,840 --> 01:20:30,600
citizens so thank you all for

1986
01:20:30,600 --> 01:20:32,880
um standing standing together and

1987
01:20:32,880 --> 01:20:35,460
working to better serve our citizens and

1988
01:20:35,460 --> 01:20:37,800
I I too am thankful to see the things

1989
01:20:37,800 --> 01:20:38,940
that we've been able to accomplish

1990
01:20:38,940 --> 01:20:40,860
without

1991
01:20:40,860 --> 01:20:43,500
calls in the dollar figure to to

1992
01:20:43,500 --> 01:20:44,880
increase we are going to have to invest

1993
01:20:44,880 --> 01:20:47,699
some more money however we started off

1994
01:20:47,699 --> 01:20:48,860
in a good direction

1995
01:20:48,860 --> 01:20:51,540
yes it has been managed properly so

1996
01:20:51,540 --> 01:20:54,239
kudos to our Public Safety folks

1997
01:20:54,239 --> 01:20:56,340
um and I just want to say in looking at

1998
01:20:56,340 --> 01:21:00,179
our audit report I was very pleased to

1999
01:21:00,179 --> 01:21:03,000
see how much we have successfully been

2000
01:21:03,000 --> 01:21:06,300
able to add to our reserve it was kind

2001
01:21:06,300 --> 01:21:09,480
of a slow steady growth there for a

2002
01:21:09,480 --> 01:21:11,940
couple years but these last couple years

2003
01:21:11,940 --> 01:21:14,040
we've we've really done a good job of

2004
01:21:14,040 --> 01:21:16,380
having more there in reserve and I and I

2005
01:21:16,380 --> 01:21:18,179
want to commend the leadership of this

2006
01:21:18,179 --> 01:21:19,820
board and the leadership of this County

2007
01:21:19,820 --> 01:21:22,380
for investing in ourselves and I feel

2008
01:21:22,380 --> 01:21:24,659
like that's where it's gotten us you

2009
01:21:24,659 --> 01:21:28,860
know sometimes the mentality of cut cut cut your nose off despite your

2010
01:21:28,860 --> 01:21:31,260
face but if you invest in yourself to do

2011
01:21:31,260 --> 01:21:32,159
more

2012
01:21:32,159 --> 01:21:33,960
um it's better for the citizens it's

2013
01:21:33,960 --> 01:21:35,420
better for

2014
01:21:35,420 --> 01:21:37,800
future citizens or future Generations

2015
01:21:37,800 --> 01:21:39,659
like my children who are hopefully going

2016
01:21:39,659 --> 01:21:41,760
to grow up and live here

2017
01:21:41,760 --> 01:21:44,040
investing in ourselves

2018
01:21:44,040 --> 01:21:46,380
to better serve our citizens has has

2019
01:21:46,380 --> 01:21:48,659
proven to be successful so thank you all

2020
01:21:48,659 --> 01:21:50,400
for your leisure for that staff and

2021
01:21:50,400 --> 01:21:52,320
board

2022
01:21:52,320 --> 01:21:54,420

2023
01:21:54,420 --> 01:21:56,580
Christmas and enjoy the holidays with

2024
01:21:56,580 --> 01:21:58,140
your family and

2025
01:21:58,140 --> 01:21:59,880
don't get caught up in the hustle and

2026
01:21:59,880 --> 01:22:03,060
bustle I think life is just too busy and

2027
01:22:03,060 --> 01:22:04,679
I think Christmas is a good time to slow

2028
01:22:04,679 --> 01:22:07,260
down enjoy your families and remember

2029
01:22:07,260 --> 01:22:09,659

2030
01:22:09,659 --> 01:22:11,219
Jackson said so thank you all for

2031
01:22:11,219 --> 01:22:12,719
allowing me serve on this board with you

2032
01:22:12,719 --> 01:22:14,820
and for the citizens for coming and

2033
01:22:14,820 --> 01:22:17,699
being here and thank you to The Keg list

2034
01:22:17,699 --> 01:22:21,659
for coming and saying thank you I'm glad

2035
01:22:21,659 --> 01:22:23,280
that we can do that to support our staff

2036
01:22:23,280 --> 01:22:25,020
because obviously this County wouldn't

2037
01:22:25,020 --> 01:22:26,699
be where it is without the the people

2038
01:22:26,699 --> 01:22:29,460
who commit to work in Fort Smith County

2039
01:22:29,460 --> 01:22:31,800
so thank you all

2040
01:22:31,800 --> 01:22:34,320
and in case you wonder not

2041
01:22:34,320 --> 01:22:36,420
people we always used to do it from one

2042
01:22:36,420 --> 01:22:38,400
end to the other with the supervisor

2043
01:22:38,400 --> 01:22:40,560
time and it wasn't fair so I have

2044
01:22:40,560 --> 01:22:42,000
written down why we've written down

2045
01:22:42,000 --> 01:22:43,800
everybody's name on a little sheet of

2046
01:22:43,800 --> 01:22:46,080
paper and I got in a cup up here and I

2047
01:22:46,080 --> 01:22:47,460
dump them out here and just pick one at

2048
01:22:47,460 --> 01:22:49,380
a time and that's how that's how that's

2049
01:22:49,380 --> 01:22:51,300
how we know who's talking next that's

2050
01:22:51,300 --> 01:22:53,820
about as far as I can make it despite

2051
01:22:53,820 --> 01:22:55,679
your efforts Courtney starts to go laugh

2052
01:22:55,679 --> 01:22:56,900
out loud

2053
01:22:56,900 --> 01:22:59,340

2056
01:23:04,140 --> 01:23:10,370

to be made

01:23:43,199 --> 01:23:44,880

2073
01:23:44,880 --> 01:23:47,219

how to use Narcan hopefully you know if it saves one life

2111
01:25:26,940 --> 01:25:29,820
it but it's it's like when you make a

2112
01:25:29,820 --> 01:25:31,560

nursing so

2129
01:26:08,400 --> 01:26:11,040
I think that was a good thing and great

2130
01:26:11,040 --> 01:26:12,179
participation of the sheriff's

2131
01:26:12,179 --> 01:26:13,739
department and so many Community

2132
01:26:13,739 --> 01:26:17,400
agencies were there to help out and like

2133
01:26:17,400 --> 01:26:19,860
I said I think the kids I mean we like

2134
01:26:19,860 --> 01:26:22,560
it went really appreciate what they

2135
01:26:22,560 --> 01:26:24,600
learned and so I think it was a real

2136
01:26:24,600 --> 01:26:26,520
good thing

2137
01:26:26,520 --> 01:26:29,699
um also looking forward to EMS to the

2138
01:26:29,699 --> 01:26:31,380
training center opening and I think

2139
01:26:31,380 --> 01:26:33,060
it'll be and I'm hoping that we can all

2140
01:26:33,060 --> 01:26:35,040
go down and visit as soon as it gets

2141
01:26:35,040 --> 01:26:37,139
open because uh

2142
01:26:37,139 --> 01:26:39,239
for those that have taken a visit back

2143
01:26:39,239 --> 01:26:40,920
when it was just about halfway finished

2144
01:26:40,920 --> 01:26:44,880
the thought process that went in

2145
01:26:44,880 --> 01:26:47,520
designing it is amazing and I think

2146
01:26:47,520 --> 01:26:48,719
you're going to be amazed at what you

2147
01:26:48,719 --> 01:26:50,940
see and what a functional building that

2148
01:26:50,940 --> 01:26:52,500
is

2149
01:26:52,500 --> 01:26:54,719
um so and I think it'll be a great help

2150
01:26:54,719 --> 01:26:56,460
to our fire and EMS people in Smith

2151
01:26:56,460 --> 01:26:57,239
County

2152
01:26:57,239 --> 01:27:00,239
uh also of ours already had the

2153
01:27:00,239 --> 01:27:01,620
opportunity to go by Courtney's house

2154
01:27:01,620 --> 01:27:04,260
and see his Christmas lights if you

2155
01:27:04,260 --> 01:27:07,500
haven't done that I suggest you do so

2156
01:27:07,500 --> 01:27:09,900
yes and he takes all over yes that's

2157
01:27:09,900 --> 01:27:11,400
right

2158
01:27:11,400 --> 01:27:14,050
yes

2159
01:27:14,060 --> 01:27:21,550
[Laughter]

2160
01:27:21,560 --> 01:27:24,120
they're not on right now because of my

2161
01:27:24,120 --> 01:27:27,530
operating system

2162
01:27:27,540 --> 01:27:30,540
and uh it in case you don't know we had

2163
01:27:30,540 --> 01:27:31,800
a long talk about corgis Christmas

2164
01:27:31,800 --> 01:27:34,679
lights coming back from Richmond

2165
01:27:34,679 --> 01:27:37,199
and uh

2166
01:27:37,199 --> 01:27:38,639
we were able to show our appreciation

2167
01:27:38,639 --> 01:27:39,840
and thank

2168
01:27:39,840 --> 01:27:41,639
people because I think people when you

2169
01:27:41,639 --> 01:27:43,139
do show them it's appreciating the job

2170
01:27:43,139 --> 01:27:45,120
they do day in doubt I'm glad we will do

2171
01:27:45,120 --> 01:27:49,080
that for the County Employees they'll do a much better job and I think

2172
01:27:49,080 --> 01:27:52,860
anybody that's that's shown appreciation

2173
01:27:52,860 --> 01:27:57,120
will do that I think it's so we're just glad that we can make a small

2174
01:27:57,120 --> 01:28:00,120
token of our appreciation to them and I

2175
01:28:00,120 --> 01:28:02,340
also like to reiterate what we said

2176
01:28:02,340 --> 01:28:07,980
earlier Merry Christmas to everyone and please observe the true reason for

2177
01:28:07,980 --> 01:28:11,159

2178
01:28:11,159 --> 01:28:13,800
foundation of our country and I and I

2179
01:28:13,800 --> 01:28:15,719

for way too long years ago we were not

2224
01:30:12,420 --> 01:30:15,300
teams I feel like now our Administration

2225
01:30:15,300 --> 01:30:18,300
and the courthouse are working together

2226
01:30:18,300 --> 01:30:21,600
and we thank you absolutely thank you in

2227
01:30:21,600 --> 01:30:23,760
response to that Sarah I I feel like we

2228
01:30:23,760 --> 01:30:25,380
as board members we can't really govern

2229
01:30:25,380 --> 01:30:28,080
properly if we don't know what people

2230
01:30:28,080 --> 01:30:30,420
are doing in the courthouse you know I

2231
01:30:30,420 --> 01:30:32,219
tend to drive at least once a quarter I

2232
01:30:32,219 --> 01:30:33,780
don't know if you've noticed I stopped

2233
01:30:33,780 --> 01:30:36,239

2236
01:30:40,380 --> 01:30:42,179
who they are and they know who we are

2237
01:30:42,179 --> 01:30:45,000

2239
01:30:47,040 --> 01:30:48,480
back to vaults every now and then see if

2240
01:30:48,480 --> 01:30:53,270

2241
01:30:53,280 --> 01:30:55,320
all right I just remembered something

2242
01:30:55,320 --> 01:30:56,760
else I'm sorry

2243
01:30:56,760 --> 01:30:58,500
I don't remember this being mentioned

2244
01:30:58,500 --> 01:31:00,420
during the public hearing that email

2245
01:31:00,420 --> 01:31:02,340
that came from Debbie Thomas John

2246
01:31:02,340 --> 01:31:04,080
Edmondson and the Harris Lane neighbors

2247
01:31:04,080 --> 01:31:06,120
does that need to be that letter need to

2248
01:31:06,120 --> 01:31:08,580
be read for the record that was emailed

2249
01:31:08,580 --> 01:31:11,540
I don't think I know about it

2250
01:31:11,540 --> 01:31:14,480
can I read that in board

2251
01:31:14,480 --> 01:31:17,580
with the expansion supervisor time and

2252
01:31:17,580 --> 01:31:19,620
do what you want to draw it down but can

2253
01:31:19,620 --> 01:31:20,520
I have it and I'll read it really

2254
01:31:20,520 --> 01:31:21,900
quickly because I think it's important

2255
01:31:21,900 --> 01:31:24,300
okay this is to the Smith County Board

2256
01:31:24,300 --> 01:31:25,980
of Supervisors from Debbie Thomas John

2257
01:31:25,980 --> 01:31:27,840
Edmonston and the Harris Lane neighbors

2258
01:31:27,840 --> 01:31:30,239
uh this is in reference to the noise

2259
01:31:30,239 --> 01:31:32,580
ordinance due to Prior scaling

2260
01:31:32,580 --> 01:31:34,260
appointment John and I cannot attend the

2261
01:31:34,260 --> 01:31:35,699
Thursday December 8th meeting in Smith

2262
01:31:35,699 --> 01:31:37,080
County Florida supervisors meeting

2263
01:31:37,080 --> 01:31:38,940
however we would like to address an

2264
01:31:38,940 --> 01:31:41,580
issue of a noise ordinance and

2265
01:31:41,580 --> 01:31:43,380
unreasonable noise is defined as noise

2266
01:31:43,380 --> 01:31:45,840
that unreasonably and substantially

2267
01:31:45,840 --> 01:31:47,699
interferes with the use or enjoyment of

2268
01:31:47,699 --> 01:31:50,159
a home and or injures health or is

2269
01:31:50,159 --> 01:31:52,320
likely to enter health for residential

2270
01:31:52,320 --> 01:31:54,780
environments any noise exceeding 70 DB

2271
01:31:54,780 --> 01:31:57,000
is considered disturbing we have tried

2272
01:31:57,000 --> 01:31:59,280
to bring about an ordinance for years

2273
01:31:59,280 --> 01:32:01,080
because of the problems we and our

2274
01:32:01,080 --> 01:32:02,639
neighbors have incurred but to no avail

2275
01:32:02,639 --> 01:32:04,920
in the neighborhood there are buildings

2276
01:32:04,920 --> 01:32:07,440
structures that produce radios played to

2277
01:32:07,440 --> 01:32:09,840
top volume drop is being played so loud

2278
01:32:09,840 --> 01:32:12,060
it rattles the windows loud cars and

2279
01:32:12,060 --> 01:32:14,219
motorcycles allow people dogs barking

2280
01:32:14,219 --> 01:32:16,800
fireworks ignited within close proximity

2281
01:32:16,800 --> 01:32:19,380
of houses and people cursing according

2282
01:32:19,380 --> 01:32:23,280

01:33:05,159 --> 01:33:07,380
that you as a board Implement and or

2304
01:33:07,380 --> 01:33:09,300
enforce a noise ordinance for the Harris

01:33:09,300 --> 01:33:11,580
Lane residential area and other areas

2306
01:33:11,580 --> 01:33:13,739
that citizens of Smith County request

2307
01:33:13,739 --> 01:33:14,760
thank you for your time and

2308
01:33:14,760 --> 01:33:15,900
consideration

2309
01:33:15,900 --> 01:33:17,460
I mean I wanted to read that for the

2310
01:33:17,460 --> 01:33:20,219
record and I will forward that to you

2311
01:33:20,219 --> 01:33:23,940
all right now thank you Lord FYI you get

2312
01:33:23,940 --> 01:33:26,760
60 days for stopping I miss you oh thank

2313
01:33:26,760 --> 01:33:29,639
you I was trying my very best to try to

2314
01:33:29,639 --> 01:33:31,620
stay around the 80 range which is

2315
01:33:31,620 --> 01:33:33,360
typically what happens but fortunately

2316
01:33:33,360 --> 01:33:35,460
if we pass our new ordinance that's out

2317
01:33:35,460 --> 01:33:37,860
we don't have to worry about the decimal

2318
01:33:37,860 --> 01:33:39,900
benefits if I didn't like hearing it

2319
01:33:39,900 --> 01:33:42,600
it's offensive to me

2320
01:33:42,600 --> 01:33:44,580
all righty anything else anybody else

2321
01:33:44,580 --> 01:33:47,040
want to comment down for me go into the

2322
01:33:47,040 --> 01:33:49,620
closed session I do have a comment and I

2323
01:33:49,620 --> 01:33:51,120
probably not a comment but I need to ask

2324
01:33:51,120 --> 01:33:53,219
you about if I need to do this in closed

2325
01:33:53,219 --> 01:34:07,070
session or Open Session

2326
01:34:07,080 --> 01:34:10,020
and I meant to do this earlier uh we

2327
01:34:10,020 --> 01:34:12,960
need to get on the ball as far as

2328
01:34:12,960 --> 01:34:17,280
Paul apologize but solar facilities and

2329
01:34:17,280 --> 01:34:18,920
eyes are the meeting the first week and

2330
01:34:18,920 --> 01:34:21,659
our agricultural Community frowns Upon

2331
01:34:21,659 --> 01:34:23,760
Us column solar Farms

2332
01:34:23,760 --> 01:34:26,760
they're solar facilities they some other

2333
01:34:26,760 --> 01:34:29,340
word but not a solar farm nothing's

2334
01:34:29,340 --> 01:34:30,679
being raised

2335
01:34:30,679 --> 01:34:33,060
whether you know it or not we have six

2336
01:34:33,060 --> 01:34:34,920
or eight pieces of property in Rich

2337
01:34:34,920 --> 01:34:36,840
Valley that have already been

2338
01:34:36,840 --> 01:34:39,239
deeded over and development has started

2339
01:34:39,239 --> 01:34:41,820
as a solar facilities

2340
01:34:41,820 --> 01:34:43,980
we need to get some ordinance in place

2341
01:34:43,980 --> 01:34:47,699
as to how revenue is generated

2342
01:34:47,699 --> 01:34:52,020
because once it becomes a solar facility

2343
01:34:52,020 --> 01:34:54,179
we no longer can tax them like another

2344
01:34:54,179 --> 01:34:55,920
piece of property they become utility

2345
01:34:55,920 --> 01:34:58,860
property taxed by the state a lot less

2346
01:34:58,860 --> 01:35:00,600
from it we get a lot less than you would

2347
01:35:00,600 --> 01:35:03,000
if we is farmland

2348
01:35:03,000 --> 01:35:05,400
so if we don't get on the ball we're

2349
01:35:05,400 --> 01:35:07,320
going to be under the ball

2350
01:35:07,320 --> 01:35:09,780
with nothing that we can do about it

2351
01:35:09,780 --> 01:35:11,699
so I would encourage us to let's move

2352
01:35:11,699 --> 01:35:14,100
forward on this quickly I will say that

2353
01:35:14,100 --> 01:35:16,260
we have every attention of having an

2354
01:35:16,260 --> 01:35:19,620
ordinance Committee in January with a

2355
01:35:19,620 --> 01:35:22,020
draft solar ordinance for for the

2356
01:35:22,020 --> 01:35:23,960
Warriors committee's room review

2357
01:35:23,960 --> 01:35:26,460
absolutely and I apologize for not

2358
01:35:26,460 --> 01:35:27,719
getting this to you earlier but I'm

2359
01:35:27,719 --> 01:35:29,639
going through this it popped in down I

2360
01:35:29,639 --> 01:35:32,340
gotta make notes anymore and I just I

2361
01:35:32,340 --> 01:35:33,600
want to just be sure and say that we

2362
01:35:33,600 --> 01:35:35,940
needed to because it can be a good thing

2363
01:35:35,940 --> 01:35:37,800
for us if the neighbors are happy with

2364
01:35:37,800 --> 01:35:38,580
it

2365
01:35:38,580 --> 01:35:40,320
but it can be a bad thing if it's

2366
01:35:40,320 --> 01:35:44,570
neighbors aren't happy with it

2367
01:35:44,580 --> 01:35:46,970
I just like to say I think

2368
01:35:46,970 --> 01:35:49,860
[Music]

2369
01:35:49,860 --> 01:35:51,840
ing things like that and I think that's

2370
01:35:51,840 --> 01:35:54,659
a direction that we go in and I agree

2371
01:35:54,659 --> 01:35:56,639
100 with what you said chart that we
