[4:54] i didn't really have a whole lot and i

[4:56] was busy so i didn't send you guys

[4:59] anything out we still have the one on

[5:02] light duty the one employee on light

[5:04] duty

[5:05] um

[5:07] we've had two employees with covid

[5:13] i would like

[5:15] um

[5:16] i i'm not sure

[5:21] they said courthouse

[5:22] in the emails but i'm not sure

[5:25] i don't know who they are so

[5:27] um

[5:31] so since we're talking about covid um i

[5:35] think it's good that you guys

[5:36] re-discuss what you want to do with that

[5:39] coveted leap policy

[5:41] for 2022.

[5:44] we want to extend it and allow the

[5:46] employees that haven't used their 80

[5:49] to continue into this year

[5:52] or

[5:53] be done with it

[5:55] and if they're out for covert they take

[5:57] it unpaid or sick leave or vacation

[6:01] whether it's

[6:02] up for discussion i think it's a

[6:04] discussion that should be had to clarify

[6:06] it

[6:10] uh i would right now they can use it

[6:12] once right

[6:13] correct once they hit their 80 hours

[6:16] that's it

[6:19] we have two employees that have met it i

[6:21] think there's three that are close

[6:23] like 70 hours are over

[6:29] are we just going to extend it for

[6:31] another year we got and start over again

[6:34] or not

[6:38] did we do it for a year or was it like a

[6:40] six month deal it was 2020

[6:43] but that came out 2020. and then you

[6:45] guys extended it

[6:47] through 2021 if they haven't used their

[6:50] 80 hours

[7:05] well i suppose to be fair

[7:08] you have to almost leave it

[7:10] so you haven't really used it up yeah so

[7:13] that's kind of thinking it's not fair to

[7:15] others if

[7:18] some got it and some don't

[7:20] do we know how many have had it

[7:23] coveted

[7:24] in the courthouse

[7:25] total

[7:29] how many people used 80 hours did you

[7:31] say only two have and that's county

[7:34] all county employees

[7:37] two have met the 80

[7:40] three are

[7:42] close

[7:43] over 70 hours for sure between 70 and

[7:46] 80. there's three

[7:47] so five roughly

[7:51] the guidelines for quarantining and they

[7:53] lowered them right have changed

[7:56] so i don't know if that

[8:00] was there a required uh

[8:03] hours that we had to do there's no lie

[8:06] on that is there it's done it's done

[8:15] i don't know that kind of changes my

[8:17] tune a little bit

[8:27] well realistically if they're sick they

[8:29] get sick leave right

[8:31] they do have a sick week

[8:37] no matter what we

[8:39] it's gonna be here

[8:55] is everybody low on sick leave

[9:00] um like

[9:01] check with amy

[9:04] i'm not dropped off my head

[9:09] what do you think of like cutting it in

[9:10] half or whatever well

[9:13] as soon as we talked about a little more

[9:14] than i thought then i thought maybe cut

[9:16] them in half and then

[9:17] and they got sick leave anyways

[9:21] you're gonna get paid either way

[9:23] right

[9:24] so

[9:26] right

[9:28] that's why i was curious if there was

[9:30] somebody that was low on sick leave

[9:33] but then other employees can give them a

[9:35] sick leave too i guess right they can

[9:37] help

[9:38] we let them do that before

[9:46] i'd be curious to see how much sick

[9:48] leaves left just if there's

[9:50] people that are really short maybe we

[9:52] could just

[9:53] do some kind of exceptions or

[9:56] share share sick leave i don't know if

[9:57] it's worth

[9:59] they're gonna get paid either way

[10:16] well sooner or later i think we're going

[10:17] to have to get back on track to normal

[10:20] too so

[10:22] i mean

[10:28] i guess i've i say we just move back but

[10:30] not

[10:32] they can use their sick leave and if

[10:34] their people runs out of time they can

[10:37] get time from other employees and if

[10:39] that isn't there then maybe we can do a

[10:40] one-on-one

[10:44] just see what's

[10:46] it gets it's changing all the time

[10:50] it's my opinion

[10:53] we're going to wait and extend it

[10:55] through 22 and see what happens here

[10:58] with the new thing and

[11:01] maybe if we get more employees that use

[11:04] up their covered

[11:05] powers and maybe we'll have to sit down

[11:07] and

[11:08] discuss this together

[11:11] so you want to leave it leave it the way

[11:14] it is right now through 2022

[11:18] and then

[11:21] then we'll rediscuss it again

[11:23] right if we have to during the year or

[11:28] coming in 2023 then or something

[11:32] i don't know that's my opinion

[11:35] leave it the way it is you mean yep

[11:36] leave it the way it is

[11:46] that's my opinion

[11:56] all right with that leaving it for

[11:58] for this year and then i think

[12:03] we have plans of of going back to

[12:07] normal

[12:09] 23.

[12:10] hopefully

[12:11] we can adjust i guess if people run out

[12:13] through

[12:14] through uh 22 here but

[12:18] it's just tough to say because it puts

[12:19] us in a hard spot too of

[12:22] of

[12:22] uh is it covid

[12:25] you know do you have the you know

[12:28] we gotta go in to be

[12:32] to see if if employees are overusing it

[12:35] or not you know that

[12:49] in order to use it

[12:53] [Applause]

[13:04] are they required to get a culvert test

[13:07] i believe public health is notified if

[13:10] they're if somebody in the county is

[13:12] positive i'm not sure enough

[13:15] i mean it goes back

[13:19] you

[13:20] trust that they're sick enough

[13:23] to ask to use 80 hours that they really

[13:25] have covered i don't know

[13:32] i guess on the other hand you really

[13:33] don't want anybody coming to work

[13:35] when they feel safe just because they

[13:37] don't have any sick time left or

[13:39] something like that either

[13:52] actually just kind of table this for now

[13:54] and then that's talking about that

[13:56] when she's coming up

[14:00] that probably wouldn't hurt i like the

[14:02] idea of of making sure that i got a

[14:04] covet test since the kova tests are so

[14:06] easy to get now

[14:08] you know

[14:12] to qualify for the

[14:26] yeah and it's only 15 minutes you know

[14:30] but close contact now is only five days

[14:32] or seven days

[14:34] so it's actually half of what we

[14:38] putting in 80 hours

[14:51] well he starts gathering a little bit

[14:52] when she comes up stable for now

[15:05] okay

[15:24] on the bottom of the

[15:26] agenda for

[15:27] later you know

[15:29] yeah there's a lot of stuff um

[15:35] yeah

[15:37] should we talk about it

[15:45] well if you want to go ahead dennis

[27:51] uh i filled in last week

[27:54] um

[27:55] cleaning

[27:56] she is back

[27:58] so i don't think she'll take leave again

[28:00] for

[28:02] for a while

[28:03] so you guys were wondering about the

[28:05] cleaning schedule

[28:10] has she had her surgery yet no she

[28:12] hasn't no

[28:14] that got delayed so well

[28:16] good six weeks or so

[28:19] but

[28:20] she started back again this week

[28:24] luckily it was a short week last week

[28:28] um

[28:30] we just are wrapping up still end of

[28:33] year and a month and a quarter

[28:36] um seems like you guys just met last

[28:38] week

[28:40] but there's a lot of reports if you want

[28:43] end of full end of year reports i can

[28:46] send you that but they're

[28:48] very big files

[28:50] so

[28:52] let me know you can

[28:54] come look at the books too can you

[28:56] actually send them or

[28:57] huh can you actually send them on uh

[29:00] or do you need like dropbox or something

[29:02] to do that because the files are so big

[29:04] yeah we would have to figure out a

[29:06] different way or you can come in and

[29:08] look at the reports here i can scan you

[29:11] certain sections

[29:13] you know if you're looking for something

[29:14] specific

[29:16] um

[29:18] let me know

[29:20] uh looks like we got

[29:22] i don't know i thought we had the sound

[29:24] in the

[29:25] recording thing great we tested it

[29:27] worked great

[29:28] you guys are able to be heard right now

[29:31] but as you see something just popped up

[29:33] earlier

[29:35] on the screen again so i don't know i

[29:37] sent it

[29:38] i don't know what that

[29:41] could be right now okay

[29:46] i

[29:47] am not i.t i am doing the best i can

[29:51] with it i understand it's frustrating

[29:53] for a lot of people

[29:55] um

[29:56] it's frustrating for me too

[29:59] so i know all of you guys got that email

[30:02] from the citizen that was

[30:05] upset last month

[30:07] um

[30:09] i just replied back i don't know if i

[30:11] sent that to all of you guys but i

[30:13] prefer to be directed to me not at my

[30:16] staff they don't

[30:17] deserve the

[30:19] repercussions of

[30:21] that because they have nothing to do

[30:23] with it other than try to support me so

[30:27] um

[30:28] what else

[30:32] okay good

[30:34] times your paperwork will be going out i

[32:31] nearly impossible to get

[32:35] the counties the company the counties

[32:37] all of the state counties go through is

[33:44] terry terry hefty yeah

[33:46] and stuff and he was wondering why his

[33:48] taxes were what they were and stuff well

[33:50] he had some land out there that was

[33:53] uh commercial

[33:56] yeah

[33:58] yeah and stuff and he's wondering why he

[34:00] had that he's

[34:01] had that for so many years and stuff and

[34:03] that he wanted to

[34:06] do something about it and stuff so i

[34:08] called him back and talked to him

[34:10] and

[34:12] seemed like we got everything pretty

[34:14] much cleared out and then

[34:16] he came in and

[34:19] got got hold of amy and aiming him

[34:22] disgusted and went over things and this

[34:24] is why we have this abatement

[34:26] before we fund the taxes and i think he

[34:28] wants to go back four years or five

[34:30] years

[34:31] [Music]

[34:32] so and it's not very much as far as

[34:37] each year and stuff but he would just

[34:39] like to get it all correct and stuff

[34:41] because there is no commercial out there

[34:44] and stuff at all and everything

[34:47] stuff so

[34:49] so what is he's building out there is

[34:50] that ben hendrickson's

[34:52] no that's his brother his brother

[34:55] troy

[34:57] just got a garage out there um

[35:00] it sounded like when

[35:02] vanguard came and assessed it

[35:05] they couldn't get into the gate

[35:07] and they did have

[35:09] um an aerial view which they could use

[35:10] to assess

[35:12] they did assess a

[35:15] pull behind trailer as a barn

[35:20] um the house was also assessed as a barn

[35:24] so

[35:24] i did get a call from terry

[35:28] um last year

[35:31] and then because he lives in missouri he

[35:33] said he called me in june behind the

[35:36] mountain

[35:38] i went out that saturday

[35:42] there's no commercial property out there

[35:46] it's a log cabin

[35:48] i reassessed every single thing out

[35:50] there

[35:51] um

[35:52] it was after county equalization

[35:54] so i didn't think that i could change

[35:56] the values in the system since i thought

[35:58] they were

[35:59] finalized but they're not actually

[36:00] finalized after state equalization i

[36:03] think

[36:04] and we talked about that

[36:06] but maybe change the

[36:09] classification

[36:22] residential to commercial

[36:24] so that does change

[36:26] overall that's where this

[36:28] between i think 87 and 50 some bucks a

[36:31] year

[36:32] on the difference for the reimbursement

[36:35] so i i do agree in his township agreed

[36:38] um

[36:39] that he should get that reimbursement of

[36:42] that one percent difference in taxes

[36:48] yeah i don't think there's anything

[36:49] commercial i don't

[36:51] um i think there was a lot of word of

[36:52] mouth

[37:07] empty with a tractor in it

[37:10] yeah so i think a lot of it was porter

[37:13] mouse and he did talk to ben in

[37:16] 2019 about it

[37:20] there is

[37:23] [Music]

[37:35] a second on that all in favor signify by

[37:37] saying hi all right post same sign

[37:40] motion

[37:42] abatement is granted

[37:45] i don't have the i got the numbers here

[37:47] but i don't have them added up

[38:06] so anything else amy

[38:09] um

[38:10] another i got a phone call too

[38:15] some other baby

[38:21] that one um i got after everything i

[38:23] sent out to you guys

[38:25] um

[38:26] i received it on the 30th from kyle

[38:30] um he

[38:32] so

[38:33] kind of confusing how it all played out

[38:36] but

[38:38] when we did the

[38:39] when i sent her all the

[38:41] material for them to fill up for the

[38:43] farm exemption paperwork

[38:47] so that i could start a fresh list from

[38:49] what ben had previously

[38:52] kyle did fill out the application

[38:54] and the parcel number that was written

[38:56] on there

[38:57] is the parcel that is receiving the

[38:59] exemption

[39:01] which he is saying his dad owns

[39:05] so he was receiving the exemption on the

[39:08] parcel that his dad owns

[39:11] and i couldn't find anything anywhere

[39:12] that showed that his dad owned it and

[39:14] not him

[39:15] um but i did have jenny look into that

[39:19] and there was a deed recorded in 2019

[39:22] um

[39:24] eating the east half of section 5

[39:27] to kyle minus

[39:29] the house

[39:30] so the house is in their own name

[39:33] in our system

[39:36] the

[39:36] whole little

[39:38] thumb studies in the wrong name

[39:43] so kyle is

[39:45] he did not previously qualify before the

[39:48] new

[39:49] farm

[39:51] um

[39:51] regulations that were implemented by the

[39:53] state where they took away

[39:55] the 45 000

[39:56] per week

[39:58] it was just 66 of your income on more

[40:01] to qualify plus 10 or more acres

[40:04] and he qualifies for all that now

[40:07] so he should have received the exam

[40:10] exemption on his personal he lives in

[40:13] but according to the paperwork

[40:17] the information was going wrong

[40:19] so i do think that he should be held

[40:21] kind of

[40:24] you know for filling up information

[40:25] incorrectly

[40:28] but he does qualify for the exemption

[40:31] even with his wife working yes now with

[40:33] the new exemption or the

[40:36] regulations in place

[40:39] so 66 or more of your income has to be

[40:41] performing

[40:42] so he filled all the paperwork

[40:46] and then he sent this one

[40:49] just really filled it out for 2021. okay

[40:53] so

[40:54] he does

[40:57] are we good are we good to go that that

[40:59] his property now is is

[41:01] farmland

[41:02] okay the one where he lives

[41:19] out

[41:19] it's

[41:20] i will

[41:21] i can't change

[41:24] so

[41:26] [Music]

[41:27] i mean i do agree that he qualifies i

[41:30] mean i'm gonna

[41:32] let you decide if you want to

[41:35] update

[41:36] the taxes for this year

[41:39] because he does qualify

[41:41] he's just paperwork

[41:54] and i know we talked about it about

[41:56] township equalization about what parcel

[41:59] and everything so

[42:00] i don't

[42:08] well the paperwork was filled out

[42:10] incorrectly i mean it's not our fault

[42:16] because she filled the paper on

[42:20] what a dollar won't is

[42:22] in question

[42:23] well this here would be the

[42:25] 2001 81 43.

[42:28] so

[42:31] that's the actual tax dollar among for

[42:32] the residents

[42:36] so you will get it this following year

[42:38] for sure

[42:52] well what do you guys think

[42:54] i don't think it's our fault that he

[42:56] filled out the paperwork

[43:01] when i had a conversation with kyle

[43:03] um

[43:06] it sounded like he was he's trying to

[43:08] get it switched

[43:10] for a while

[43:12] um

[43:14] whether that's you know we think about

[43:15] it at tax time or what but

[43:18] i don't know the process of that or or

[43:20] how that exactly works i don't like you

[43:22] said i don't think it's just a

[43:24] call in and you switch it sort of thing

[43:26] well would i bring it up to amy before

[43:28] previous or was it according to him

[43:31] he has brought it up in the past and i'm

[43:33] not saying to you i'm not saying to

[43:36] that parcel that he's receiving the

[43:38] exemption on now has been getting an

[43:40] exemption for

[43:41] 19 years

[43:43] because it's his dad's

[43:45] it's his death but it's under his name

[43:47] right now so i don't know because he has

[43:49] the

[43:50] confusion

[43:52] he has the the quarter to the

[43:55] he owns a lander on the farmstead

[43:58] so

[43:58] and

[44:00] when right there it shows you that

[44:02] the the farmstead wasn't was deeded out

[44:05] or whatever so

[44:21] harold's place yeah

[44:28] what's the dollar amount on the

[44:30] exemption that he did get

[44:46] so

[44:50] if you came to the county and

[44:52] requested this earlier i think it would

[44:54] have been taken care of wouldn't it

[45:00] so we went over during equalization

[45:03] and which parcel it was on and that's

[45:05] the parcel that i have currently getting

[45:07] the exemption

[45:14] about it because it would have been for

[45:16] however many years ago but it started

[45:19] he said i'm not sure just his house in

[45:22] 4

[45:23] 13 or 14 i think it was that property

[45:26] from his ad but

[45:32] so then it's been wrong since then

[45:36] well it's yeah it's

[45:38] at least 14.

[45:40] [Music]

[45:42] it's the wrong i mean it's it's

[45:44] it's wrong we know that

[45:47] so

[45:50] well as long as we get everything

[45:52] straightened out now moving forward i

[45:53] think we'll just leave it as this

[45:56] or

[45:56] what do you think emily

[45:59] i don't think i have an opinion

[46:06] did the county is it false

[46:12] did we

[46:19] the other portion is

[46:21] is uh

[46:24] it'd be worth probably a phone call back

[46:25] to kyle

[46:27] okay till next month okay

[46:32] stable until next month

[46:46] [Music]

[46:48] and then the last thing i have is the

[46:51] eggland valleys

[46:53] ndsu lowered our average acreage value

[46:59] for still counting

[47:02] from 1105 87

[47:05] to

[47:09] and 1050.39 cents

[47:11] that now brings our county average to 98

[47:16] [Music]

[47:21] so it's kind of actually a good thing

[47:23] that we didn't raise eight mile last

[47:24] year

[47:25] as we most likely would have been

[47:28] having to do a reduction

[47:33] but with this figure 1050 59 that's that

[47:36] was 20 21s oh there's 21.

[47:40] and then our current average

[47:42] is the 1050.39

[47:46] okay what was the number before amy

[47:48] 105.87

[47:53] and then steel county's average

[47:56] um

[47:57] that we have

[47:59] the egg land valued at right now to get

[48:01] the 98 is 1031.50

[48:32] an acre

[48:37] i've never seen it go down i don't think

[48:39] in my

[48:41] years here so

[48:43] that's a

[48:46] i want to increase

[48:59] so the other counties around the state

[49:02] did they do the same thing

[49:03] um

[49:27] with equalization you'll think about

[49:29] emotion on

[49:31] where you want it

[49:37] and then i'll be

[49:38] the end of this month ryan from vanguard

[49:40] will be here

[49:41] um

[49:42] the 26th i think it is to help run

[49:45] our sales ratio for the year

[49:47] so then february i should have

[49:49] those percentages for everybody

[49:52] for residential and commercial

[50:08] any questions

[50:15] i guess there's not much we can do you

[50:17] know

[50:39] oh i have no questions for you

[50:41] so

[50:47] thank you thank you yeah

[50:50] thank you guys yeah thank you

[51:04] thanks very much

[51:08] okay we got uh

[54:48] five five six

[54:51] tell you if you want to know exactly

[55:01] easy to get to yeah

[55:04] when did we

[55:06] increase this all right it's been a

[55:07] while it has been yeah

[55:09] and we went from

[55:12] struggling we went from 70 50 then the

[55:15] last increase i thought we only went up

[55:17] 50 bucks but oh right yeah i can't

[55:20] remember

[55:22] i bet it's been three or four years

[55:26] yeah

[55:28] yeah i was thinking

[55:31] a little bit anyway

[55:53] [Applause]

[55:59] why do you

[56:24] richard i don't have that yet

[56:27] i thought it had my amount but it it

[56:30] i thought i had the same letters that i

[56:33] send out every year right in this binder

[56:35] i thought we would only raise it like 50

[56:37] bucks last time

[56:42] i bet it's been three or four years or

[56:43] wasn't it it has been for sure

[56:45] yes

[56:54] what is this

[56:55] commissioner just think of that

[57:16] was it worth

[57:19] what are we thinking are we thinking

[57:20] raising it another 50 bucks or what

[57:23] we're just gonna leave it

[57:29] seems to me i remember something

[57:31] discussing that at some point time

[57:33] through the parkour thing

[57:36] maybe that was for

[57:38] when does that go out the notices for

[57:40] when do they pay them

[57:42] they

[57:43] the notices go up this month i send them

[57:45] out after you guys observe the rate and

[57:47] then they're due by april

[57:54] how many locks is it is that

[58:18] well

[58:19] well i'd almost like to know when we're

[58:21] going to grade the last before

[58:23] it's been a while

[58:26] you give me about let's come back now

[58:29] should we tell us yeah

[58:30] i will look it up

[58:38] have you had any

[58:40] anybody looking for that

[58:43] more appointment for themselves

[58:47] jenny

[58:49] called brandon's

[58:51] regarding it

[58:52] he had her

[58:54] do an application she is interested

[58:57] jenny boss the recorder is um she's

[59:00] interested

[59:07] i wonder what the deal was

[59:09] why

[59:11] they dropped to commissioners

[59:15] because there was that one meeting there

[59:17] was about five

[59:19] i've got special meetings about five

[59:21] different people from around the state

[59:23] that were coming in to

[59:25] [Music]

[59:26] agassi valley

[59:31] my understanding i think it was

[59:32] legislation yeah it is

[59:34] last state

[59:35] legislation

[59:37] did it

[59:39] she knew that was

[59:43] [Music]

[59:46] that's the only one

[59:53] yeah because catherine's got what

[59:54] another year left or two okay

[1:00:03] one catherine is up at the end of next

[1:00:13] what do you year to

[1:00:16] how long was that ad running itself

[1:00:29] well it wasn't last week's paper

[1:00:31] correct yeah and you said you'd take

[1:00:34] that

[1:00:34] yeah no i'll do it yeah good

[1:00:40] they pay your mileage for driving over

[1:00:42] there

[1:00:43] whatever

[1:00:45] that's just

[1:00:46] two

[1:00:47] millions a month or one one a month

[1:00:50] usually last thursday is what it's meant

[1:00:53] and then they

[1:00:54] we get forms in steel county

[1:01:04] we uh

[1:01:06] i suppose i made a motion on that too

[1:01:08] and then also they'll be taking one day

[1:01:10] away from her and her

[1:01:12] office over here too

[1:01:28] but i think as long as the county

[1:01:30] employees here are willing to be on

[1:01:31] there i think there'd be another eyes

[1:01:33] and ears that we can

[1:01:34] have to count on to let us know what's

[1:01:37] going on over there it's my opinion

[1:01:39] so so

[1:01:42] well

[1:01:43] yeah as long as we got the nurse still

[1:01:45] in there and

[1:01:46] and then with jenny and

[1:01:48] randy you know that's yeah we know

[1:01:51] what's going on yeah

[1:01:54] and it's

[1:01:55] i mean

[1:01:56] we can't stand alone

[1:01:58] and i guess

[1:02:01] we just won't stay with them

[1:02:03] we don't want to

[1:02:04] leave too that helps she does she does

[1:02:11] she knows all the statements that's

[1:02:14] well if

[1:02:16] you know somebody wants to do it

[1:02:37] the motion in a second all in favor

[1:02:39] signify by saying hi

[1:02:41] hi close same sign motion carried

[1:04:26] all right

[1:05:06] a little bit because it's real foggy

[1:05:08] there in the morning it's really dark

[1:05:10] and it's really dark on that turn we're

[1:05:12] going to put a light here well

[1:05:14] you want me to look in this constant

[1:05:15] stuff but it shouldn't be too expensive

[1:05:17] to throw a solar light down there right

[1:05:18] so yeah

[1:05:20] like like the other guy is like you've

[1:05:22] done it

[1:05:23] i mean the county

[1:05:25] yeah the other county oh

[1:05:28] yeah i mean it would just like

[1:05:31] i would uh

[1:05:32] have uh

[1:05:35] you know the christians would never do

[1:05:36] the solar light

[1:05:40] who's going to put the pole in here

[1:05:42] having no dac or whatever

[1:05:44] i wouldn't have to do that we wouldn't

[1:05:45] have more power to it

[1:05:47] yeah i don't want to make it a big

[1:05:50] big mess i just want like one hole with

[1:05:52] the light so we're going to

[1:05:54] leave the whole

[1:05:56] i would have to do it to the spring yeah

[1:05:58] well i mean so we'd have to have

[1:06:01] somebody dig the wound with the pole in

[1:06:04] yeah but we can probably find somebody

[1:06:05] do that yeah

[1:06:07] yeah

[1:06:08] the solar like that you'll probably

[1:06:12] talk to tyler or whatever

[1:06:15] and

[1:06:16] uh you know

[1:06:19] they put

[1:06:20] with the solar panel and

[1:06:23] touch on and so

[1:06:25] it's still in my mind

[1:06:44] we

[1:06:57] all right

[1:06:59] [Music]

[1:07:27] me the numbers because they

[1:07:28] the numbers that they this guy had were

[1:07:30] wrong

[1:07:31] all that

[1:07:32] exactly

[1:07:34] yeah um

[1:07:37] there was another guy who

[1:07:39] uh he emailed me

[1:08:08] charles okay sounds good was that a

[1:08:12] dollar ship road yeah yeah it was all

[1:08:14] talk

[1:08:15] oh well in newberry country

[1:08:20] and then there was one in in

[1:08:22] eden data

[1:08:24] [Music]

[1:08:34] yeah they were the last ones to call

[1:08:36] so they got done last did you golf

[1:08:38] jackson wrench the way it goes

[1:08:42] it wasn't five days though well i didn't

[1:08:45] back out yeah that was awesome yeah they

[1:08:47] were just wondering and stuff and then i

[1:08:49] gave his number

[1:08:53] [Music]

[1:09:10] because he thought he was in beaver

[1:09:11] creek and really it was an uber township

[1:09:15] and uh how many times

[1:09:20] one guy called me and then i said well

[1:09:22] did you go and watch and then he went on

[1:09:24] look he's then he said he could make it

[1:09:27] yeah

[1:09:31] and thank you

[1:09:43] he had a doctor's appointment did you

[1:09:45] wonder

[1:10:00] we'll take

[1:10:08] [Music]

[1:10:11] right

[1:10:14] now i'll make a motion where you

[1:10:18] recommend

[1:10:20] you got a motion on the floor

[1:10:35] as long as mike isn't here reed

[1:10:38] is there anything you got besides the

[1:10:41] culvert bid opening at 10 o'clock i

[1:10:43] don't know if you've got any questions

[1:10:46] for

[1:10:52] we still have an employee

[1:10:54] i don't know what he is

[1:10:58] i don't think so

[1:11:00] do you have paperwork that says that

[1:11:01] he's not on light dude anymore

[1:11:03] i've never seen any paperwork do you

[1:11:05] want to yes you have i've been sending

[1:11:07] you it enough what do you want to say

[1:11:14] you need to follow up with him too can

[1:11:16] you

[1:11:17] check on that and let us get back to you

[1:11:19] let the rest of us know good

[1:11:24] morning everybody's back at work over

[1:11:27] there yeah

[1:11:29] i can't we had to take you you come up

[1:11:31] from home brother to surgery today

[1:11:35] so he's not here today

[1:11:52] this

[1:11:53] summer uh

[1:11:55] they're gonna redo 200

[1:11:58] from the four-way stop

[1:12:00] um we're gonna have crosswalks painted

[1:12:03] on the

[1:12:04] on the

[1:12:06] three sides because

[1:12:08] the dump thing is at that four-way stop

[1:12:10] there's three different entities

[1:12:13] yeah

[1:12:14] fargo division the grand forks division

[1:12:16] and the state and the county

[1:12:18] on every part of that

[1:12:20] so

[1:12:21] we'll have to we want crosswalks

[1:12:24] on the west side of that four-way stop

[1:12:27] too

[1:12:28] they'll take care of the other three

[1:12:31] but we will probably have to take care

[1:12:33] of the uh

[1:12:35] the west side

[1:12:37] that's like 17 cents a

[1:12:39] foot or something like that

[1:12:41] so

[1:12:42] um

[1:12:43] you just have to do it all at the same

[1:12:45] time yeah that's kind of the idea

[1:12:50] [Music]

[1:12:58] somebody will have to talk to them make

[1:12:59] sure because they're going to do them

[1:13:00] three for sure we'll just let them know

[1:13:02] that the

[1:13:04] we want the fourth side the west side

[1:13:06] done too

[1:13:08] um

[1:13:09] they wanted crosswalks a block to the

[1:13:14] east and a block to the south but

[1:13:17] the state says that's not a good deal

[1:13:19] because they should be

[1:13:21] they should be walking across at the

[1:13:24] stop sign yeah

[1:13:25] so

[1:13:27] we might

[1:13:28] have them do

[1:13:29] [Music]

[1:13:30] the one that's a block to the south

[1:13:33] we might have them do the

[1:13:35] um

[1:13:37] city

[1:13:40] crosswalk right there

[1:13:42] we haven't decided that yet you know if

[1:13:44] if they got extra we might have them do

[1:13:46] that

[1:13:47] the school wants them to do that

[1:13:50] um but the other thing is um

[1:13:53] we want to have a look i don't know did

[1:13:55] wayne talk to

[1:13:57] you ben at all about uh seeing if we can

[1:14:00] get a turning link put in out at the

[1:14:03] dump site out there

[1:14:06] i've talked to a couple guys at the

[1:14:08] d.o.t and

[1:14:11] he needs a letter from the state or from

[1:14:14] the county to

[1:14:16] do a study to see if it's feasible to do

[1:14:18] that

[1:14:21] probably moving the 45 mile an hour back

[1:14:23] a little bit and then having a turning

[1:14:25] lane going out to the uh piling site

[1:14:30] um so i don't know if you want to uh

[1:14:33] come up with a letter and

[1:14:35] and i'll get you the guy's name lyle you

[1:14:37] probably know him lyle or whatever

[1:14:45] that was probably the guy that was here

[1:14:48] uh when

[1:14:49] we talked to beckman and i talked to him

[1:14:52] and suffered

[1:14:54] probably yeah

[1:14:56] yeah because i think aaron we talked

[1:14:58] about that and then also

[1:15:00] linking the forty five mile zone all

[1:15:04] part of their yeah

[1:15:06] uh

[1:15:07] just receiving reasons you know

[1:15:08] everybody

[1:15:10] on the left place

[1:15:12] so if you could put together a letter

[1:15:14] requesting that

[1:15:16] that they do a study to have that done

[1:15:18] because they could do it this summer

[1:15:20] if they can

[1:15:22] make it work it's like is it just a

[1:15:24] letter support or is it gonna

[1:15:26] like cost us funding to do that no

[1:15:29] no it's a letter of uh

[1:15:33] requesting

[1:15:35] uh

[1:15:37] requesting their study to see if it's

[1:15:40] if it should be done

[1:15:42] and then it's the state's deal so

[1:15:45] then they can add it to that project so

[1:15:48] ben can probably contact

[1:15:51] your guy yeah

[1:15:52] see what they'd require for that that'd

[1:15:54] be a great thing that's all he says is

[1:15:56] he needs a letter from somebody either

[1:15:59] the city or the state or i mean the

[1:16:01] county or whoever to

[1:16:03] so he can get the process of putting the

[1:16:05] uh

[1:16:07] strips across this traffic counts and

[1:16:09] stuff like that

[1:16:13] [Music]

[1:16:29] yeah if you need if you need me to sign

[1:16:31] it for the city we can do city county at

[1:16:34] the same time so

[1:16:38] i do yeah

[1:16:42] and beckman does too so

[1:16:44] his name is lyle i can't think of his

[1:16:46] last name right offhand but his name is

[1:16:48] lyle

[1:16:53] i think he's with the state he's

[1:16:55] probably with this state he's probably

[1:16:58] the

[1:16:59] kind of the main guy

[1:17:09] right

[1:17:11] so they'd get that turn lane in now

[1:17:13] brian as long as they're redoing it or

[1:17:16] if time allows i have no idea how long

[1:17:19] that stuff takes i mean

[1:17:22] i mean there's going to be there'd have

[1:17:23] to be a lot of dirt work i would imagine

[1:17:25] to get that put in there but

[1:17:28] it's

[1:17:29] he has to do the traffic counts first to

[1:17:31] see if it's

[1:17:33] right

[1:17:35] i think that's a good idea

[1:17:38] i mentioned to him you know

[1:17:40] the stated

[1:17:42] web the elevator put

[1:17:45] their signs they've only had

[1:17:48] leaving their temporaries out there on

[1:17:50] the on the shoulder of the road you know

[1:17:52] well

[1:17:53] [Music]

[1:17:55] how hard is it for them to for you guys

[1:17:58] just to agree to put a sign up up there

[1:18:06] it's more of a hazard having

[1:18:08] them temporarily sitting on the shoulder

[1:18:10] road with sandbags on and but

[1:18:18] well the same thing south of town too

[1:18:20] yeah that's right

[1:18:22] in the scale area then you're dealing

[1:18:24] the

[1:18:27] you know which i know the pharma guy

[1:18:29] uh

[1:18:30] i've talked to him before you know

[1:18:33] in the main elevator

[1:18:35] you know even

[1:18:37] she just didn't know it's like

[1:18:40] after congress wanted to do that

[1:18:44] so

[1:18:47] well if there's nothing else to read

[1:18:48] maybe we'll go on to mike then from

[1:18:50] interstate

[1:18:59] so just follow up a couple things we'll

[1:19:01] start with maybe the easy one first um

[1:19:04] the house bill 1505

[1:19:06] um

[1:19:10] i'm not sure

[1:19:14] [Music]

[1:19:33] so the 24 million that we talked about

[1:19:35] last time

[1:20:02] to get

[1:20:12] application reads there's certainly

[1:20:16] some concern on exactly what we will

[1:20:18] qualify so as we talked last time

[1:20:20] it's uh they're going to score these

[1:20:22] grants applications based on the

[1:20:25] condition of the bridge the load rating

[1:20:27] they're also going to use

[1:20:29] traffic

[1:20:31] detour length

[1:20:33] roadway classification

[1:20:36] which indicates to me that the higher

[1:20:38] the importance of the road the more

[1:20:39] points it's going to get

[1:20:42] traffic generates

[1:20:46] the important part about this binding is

[1:20:48] it is 100 percent funding it is supposed

[1:20:50] to cover

[1:20:52] all costs associated

[1:20:54] with a few minor exceptions if you have

[1:20:56] to purchase right away that's your cost

[1:20:58] the

[1:21:13] the problem becomes

[1:21:15] what might call it

[1:21:17] so

[1:21:17] what we did on this map that

[1:21:20] we're looking at it was put on

[1:21:23] north and south on two stages just so

[1:21:24] that's a little bigger

[1:21:27] so there were three bridges that we

[1:21:28] talked about putting in

[1:21:30] for this the first one on the first page

[1:21:32] is just south of highway 200

[1:21:34] um on camera 10

[1:21:37] towards the east side of the county

[1:21:39] and the other two we looked at are on

[1:21:41] camera

[1:21:45] let's make it start

[1:21:50] these are the ones you got marked in red

[1:21:56] really what my goal is just to make sure

[1:21:58] that you guys are on board with these

[1:22:00] bridges so being uh right once you put

[1:22:02] in for this transactions

[1:22:12] non-system roads

[1:22:13] like counter road 5 you pay county roads

[1:22:16] obviously with higher traffic

[1:22:18] here to me that are going to score

[1:22:20] higher and give you more potential to be

[1:22:22] able to get this grant

[1:22:24] so

[1:22:25] the reason that we picked that first

[1:22:27] bridge that

[1:22:28] 117-25 if you remember back in 2018

[1:22:31] the bridge inspections had gotten

[1:22:34] had seen significant enough movements in

[1:22:36] those

[1:22:43] [Music]

[1:22:48] there but it tells us there's a

[1:22:50] foundation issue there so if you

[1:22:52] remember that some of you weren't on the

[1:22:53] board at that point but if you remember

[1:22:55] at that point we came in and we put a

[1:22:57] steel beam

[1:22:58] on each side of the bridge on the

[1:23:00] outside of the bridge to try and hold

[1:23:01] those buttons apart

[1:23:03] well that's that was really temporary i

[1:23:05] mean in the long run you're going to

[1:23:06] need to do something with it

[1:23:09] my

[1:23:11] problem with this is that part of their

[1:23:12] criteria on this is condition and load

[1:23:15] rating

[1:23:16] so all of your bridge inspections are

[1:23:18] done by the states

[1:23:20] that they went through this

[1:23:22] time around the way that they hired a

[1:23:23] consultant to do these

[1:23:25] but the problem is is that they don't

[1:23:26] have the low grade stuff

[1:23:28] a lot of this purchase you've seen some

[1:23:30] of them where you get the notification

[1:23:32] they also

[1:23:33] and close the structure

[1:23:34] they don't have the low gradient done on

[1:23:36] a lot of your bridges

[1:23:38] so we're kind of guessing at this point

[1:23:40] and i don't think i'm going to get those

[1:23:42] low grades

[1:23:45] so

[1:23:47] a lot of counties are in the same

[1:23:48] condition um the southeast

[1:23:51] veterans of the state it's

[1:23:54] two guys average inspections

[1:23:58] certainly with this bridge because

[1:24:15] but

[1:24:16] there should be enough justification

[1:24:17] there but it's important enough to hide

[1:24:19] the truck traffic

[1:24:20] um

[1:24:23] so i just wanted to put that cabinet on

[1:24:24] it if it doesn't come through

[1:24:26] without the low grade it's it's

[1:24:39] partial removal full removal i'm not

[1:24:42] sure exactly what the waterford's

[1:24:44] current time is with that elm river dam

[1:24:45] on stream with that

[1:24:47] so i think part of what we're talking

[1:24:48] about is this structure gonna be

[1:24:51] big enough anymore

[1:24:53] um

[1:24:54] if that dam is removed and it doesn't

[1:24:56] pull some of the water

[1:24:58] that structure is actually pretty large

[1:25:00] it's a triple 10 by 10 factory box cover

[1:25:03] so i don't know without having

[1:25:06] all the information on the dam and the

[1:25:07] full study of it but i don't know that

[1:25:10] that's going to be too small i don't

[1:25:11] think that's going to be the proper

[1:25:13] criteria for that

[1:25:15] so really why i think that one's

[1:25:17] still beneficial to put in

[1:25:19] is the safety side anybody that's run

[1:25:21] over that you know the edge of that

[1:25:22] structure just went three feet off the

[1:25:24] edge of the pavement and then it's a 15

[1:25:26] foot drop down over the channel that no

[1:25:28] longer meets the federal state safety

[1:25:30] standards it needs to have that 18 foot

[1:25:34] clear zone obviously

[1:25:37] so

[1:25:38] the 117 25 we will be looking to put in

[1:25:42] a grants application for full

[1:25:43] replacement

[1:25:44] box culprits

[1:25:48] that's a good candidate for box culverts

[1:25:50] it's got about 4 miles

[1:26:04] built in 1965 you guys don't have a copy

[1:26:08] of those original planets so the problem

[1:26:10] is you don't know

[1:26:11] what was put in that concrete steel

[1:26:14] so the thought on that is we've done

[1:26:17] this many times the state has done this

[1:26:18] many times those casting place box

[1:26:20] conference

[1:26:33] it can certainly be done from

[1:26:48] that's why i'm a little leery about

[1:26:49] doing that but without more information

[1:26:52] i don't know if we can justify

[1:26:54] full replacement

[1:26:59] i still think it's worth putting in

[1:27:01] you know if for some reason through the

[1:27:04] course of the preliminary design you

[1:27:06] come back to the usb and say hey

[1:27:09] wow we don't know if this

[1:27:10] structure's going to be thought is there

[1:27:12] opportunity for other funding this may

[1:27:14] be another way okay

[1:27:17] so one replacement box forwards because

[1:27:20] the bridge is giving that condition

[1:27:23] one rehabilitation

[1:27:25] you say in the grants application that

[1:27:27] rehabilitation

[1:27:28] instead of replacement is something

[1:27:30] that's probably going to score higher so

[1:27:32] it gives you a better chance to need it

[1:27:34] if you sell it to this rehabilitation

[1:27:38] and then this third one

[1:27:43] structures that we knew that were in

[1:27:44] question

[1:27:59] most years on the traffic bounce the

[1:28:02] truck traffic on the apps is about 25

[1:28:03] percent of the traffic which is pretty

[1:28:05] high for drunk traffic

[1:28:08] a lot of gravity goes there

[1:28:12] right

[1:28:12] yeah so that helps our cause

[1:28:16] this one on common row 10 the uh

[1:28:19] traffic on that is only about 45

[1:28:21] vehicles

[1:28:23] lower traffic which gives me a little

[1:28:25] concern on how we're going to score that

[1:28:29] that bridge is currently also not posted

[1:28:34] but if you read the inventory on that

[1:28:38] that those abutments also have

[1:28:41] issues

[1:28:43] they have cracks in them and those

[1:28:45] reports show that

[1:28:47] on this particular one in some areas

[1:28:49] there's been movements at the top of the

[1:28:50] abutment leading in and some of them

[1:28:52] that's even more concerning is there's

[1:28:54] been measurements to show the bottom

[1:28:55] development is coming in

[1:28:58] that tells me that maybe there's a pile

[1:29:00] underneath these maybe they're just

[1:29:01] sitting there

[1:29:02] and when they're really tall but it's

[1:29:04] like that then it's

[1:29:06] scary so

[1:29:08] i would be surprised if the low rating

[1:29:10] on this doesn't drop

[1:29:14] this might be another one to

[1:29:15] at least get in

[1:29:17] to them and maybe through the course of

[1:29:19] um

[1:29:33] one of these other bridges

[1:29:35] over to the east

[1:29:38] the west of this one

[1:29:40] uh the trucks now have been coming out

[1:29:43] london county organic going north to 200

[1:29:46] [Music]

[1:29:48] instead of going

[1:29:49] to the north across the bridge so

[1:29:53] you know the farmers over here are

[1:29:55] starting to use

[1:29:56] that country canyon go up to 200 more

[1:30:14] [Music]

[1:30:38] it's two miles

[1:30:45] [Music]

[1:31:13] so these are these are the three year

[1:31:15] we're thinking of sending in for this

[1:31:18] okay

[1:31:22] definitely not gonna get all three

[1:31:25] maximum for this grant

[1:31:46] i figured this game is

[1:31:48] a bridge a box cover

[1:31:50] and a rehab

[1:31:53] a little bit of everything

[1:31:56] so what time frame would it be on this

[1:31:59] to

[1:32:00] complete these

[1:32:01] so they've got this money in place

[1:32:05] but what they're saying is that this has

[1:32:07] to this they will require this to follow

[1:32:09] their full federal aid process so this

[1:32:11] is in 202 construction this would be

[1:32:13] 2023 construction

[1:32:18] um you have until 2026 to spend this

[1:32:20] month

[1:32:23] make sure it's 100 their funds

[1:32:28] wouldn't matter so much of you guys

[1:32:30] it's just a matter of getting through

[1:32:31] the process

[1:32:33] so a steele county has 2 million dollars

[1:32:36] no

[1:32:38] no you're guaranteed nothing so there's

[1:32:40] 24 million dollars and these are grant

[1:32:42] applications

[1:32:44] and sellers trying to convince them that

[1:32:46] your bridge is more in need than

[1:32:48] somebody else's bridge

[1:32:50] what they're doing is they're tapping

[1:32:52] the bags

[1:32:55] with the idea that if you have a company

[1:32:57] that has

[1:32:58] all these bridges that need to be

[1:32:59] replaced well they're going to try and

[1:33:01] share them when you're on the stick

[1:33:02] given one county 10 million they'll be

[1:33:04] sure to try and share it yeah okay but

[1:33:06] still 24 million that ain't going to

[1:33:08] last very well

[1:33:12] well i just think you know this mike

[1:33:14] two on

[1:33:16] county road five

[1:33:18] we would never dare shut five down for

[1:33:21] two bridges in one year no

[1:33:25] you know that would be farmers would be

[1:33:27] on our

[1:33:28] you know

[1:33:29] but i would find it really unlikely that

[1:33:32] you'll get funded for both of those

[1:33:33] structures

[1:33:35] thinking you put in for three and

[1:33:38] probably the best case scenario you're

[1:33:39] making

[1:33:42] but if you did happen to get both of

[1:33:44] those no you wouldn't be over the same

[1:33:46] they're completely different types of

[1:33:47] projects

[1:33:56] richard this one out here in inger is

[1:33:58] that

[1:33:59] east of lances or west atlantis east

[1:34:02] east atlantis

[1:34:04] yeah it's down by jimmy grindelwald's

[1:34:06] place

[1:34:08] [Music]

[1:34:11] i suppose if they're going to redo

[1:34:12] highway 200 and stuff then

[1:34:16] we'll just have to go ahead and do it

[1:34:18] then huh

[1:34:22] so

[1:34:22] 200 is

[1:34:25] slated for this year

[1:34:38] that bridge out but on camera 10 there's

[1:34:40] a lot of erosion going on banks do it

[1:34:44] for

[1:34:48] [Music]

[1:34:55] for a long time

[1:35:03] house

[1:35:16] [Music]

[1:35:35] well we can go back five but that

[1:35:36] doesn't do us any good

[1:36:01] when that becomes available but uh the

[1:36:03] reason we didn't include that in this is

[1:36:05] just

[1:36:06] they're off system roads or township

[1:36:08] roads

[1:36:19] the one up in westfield that's marked

[1:36:21] with x and the red and yellow that's the

[1:36:24] one with bombers

[1:36:26] yeah that one's been replaced

[1:36:36] i'm gonna update the map as soon as we

[1:36:37] get all of the bridge inspections but we

[1:36:39] have not really yet

[1:36:44] but those ones are the critical ones

[1:36:46] that are red red and the x and yellow

[1:36:48] and all that

[1:36:50] yep yep so the uh the yellow means that

[1:36:52] it's posted for load

[1:36:54] and the red means that uh

[1:36:57] the old sufficiency rating the zero to

[1:36:58] 100 grading is less than 50.

[1:37:01] and then when you put the x through it

[1:37:02] they also have uh

[1:37:15] these are not

[1:37:17] all accurate anymore as these little

[1:37:18] variables

[1:37:24] is

[1:37:33] [Music]

[1:37:46] 18

[1:38:26] let's hope for the best yep

[1:38:29] that's just

[1:38:54] whatever

[1:39:00] oh

[1:39:03] i sent emily um the certification

[1:39:06] letters i don't know if you guys have

[1:39:07] seen those yet

[1:39:08] russell has them all okay

[1:39:10] so when russell signs those you're gonna

[1:39:11] get a copy that was like at 7 00

[1:39:14] and we should be on track

[1:39:19] see how that goes

[1:39:21] i don't know that the dod is necessarily

[1:39:23] going to make you make your final

[1:39:24] decision on where your product is going

[1:39:27] to come from so i think you can probably

[1:39:29] wait until after that

[1:39:31] make that final decision

[1:39:33] on whether you're going to wire a hand

[1:39:34] on your federal funds

[1:39:36] to use some of the

[1:39:39] hospital 1505 money that's coming

[1:40:48] progress

[1:40:51] [Music]

[1:41:02] interesting

[1:41:15] then

[1:41:16] again a straight line

[1:41:34] okay

[1:41:37] thank you thanks mike thanks mike thanks

[1:41:57] we got to kind of stay at 10.

[1:42:10] are they accepted are they accepted at

[1:42:12] tel

[1:42:26] um

[1:42:34] bridge um

[1:42:35] inspection stuff and they sent uh cost

[1:42:38] estimates that will

[1:42:40] get uh

[1:43:04] [Music]

[1:43:13] is that where it says our

[1:43:15] funds are coming from

[1:43:18] one of those

[1:43:20] [Music]

[1:43:30] is

[1:43:50] well this stuff

[1:43:52] [Music]

[1:44:04] february

[1:44:17] for that

[1:44:30] uh we should invite beaver creek to our

[1:44:32] february meeting to talk about the

[1:44:34] bridge over

[1:44:35] west of lake to bison

[1:44:38] see if they would help cost

[1:44:40] share with us

[1:44:42] my culvert replacement

[1:44:46] um just to follow up with you quickly

[1:44:48] for the lake

[1:44:52] and the ponder 2010

[1:44:55] the rate was 500.

[1:44:58] um

[1:44:59] 2012 it went up to 600.

[1:45:04] 2015 it went up to 750.

[1:45:10] and 2020 it was 850.

[1:45:22] i don't remember the 2020

[1:45:25] i was thinking that's right at the time

[1:45:30] the campground stuff

[1:45:32] yeah that's true that's why we did it

[1:45:38] five six years ago

[1:45:42] it's

[1:45:57] i'll make that motion then while we're

[1:45:59] thank you we'll wait another year to

[1:46:00] bump that up do you send them out of the

[1:46:02] letter

[1:46:03] i do yeah every year

[1:46:05] i would send it out that says uh it's

[1:46:08] gonna stay the same but look for a price

[1:46:10] increase next year or something do you

[1:46:12] need uh

[1:46:14] something for yourself yeah so this is

[1:46:16] the packet of information that's the top

[1:46:18] page so it's just a certification or a

[1:46:20] local match

[1:46:21] for the brics

[1:46:23] uh inspection funds so that's a 1820

[1:46:28] 20 match between us and state

[1:46:30] that's the state hired out there's

[1:46:32] contractors

[1:46:38] so this is a included in that as a

[1:46:40] progress estimate of what we have to pay

[1:46:42] so far

[1:46:43] um we paid 20 almost 25 000 already

[1:46:47] uh and this is an extra 2500 might be

[1:46:49] just looking at it where the contract is

[1:46:51] only about halfway through so

[1:46:57] did we budget anything for that

[1:47:01] i don't remember

[1:47:13] um so the top page is what i need the

[1:47:15] approval on it's just the certification

[1:47:16] of local nash basically saying that

[1:47:19] the funds are going to come out of the

[1:47:21] funds they're not going to come from

[1:47:22] whatever ones

[1:47:25] normal stuff

[1:47:30] and that's probably three years ago

[1:47:34] the

[1:47:45] once they get the system set up the

[1:47:46] anticipation is

[1:47:50] think about that

[1:47:52] that's for the southeast region that

[1:47:53] contract was almost five million dollars

[1:47:57] of course

[1:48:00] so the total cost for this round is

[1:48:05] [Music]

[1:48:11] [Music]

[1:48:14] so the next time we need to inspect the

[1:48:16] bridges

[1:48:30] out of the type of inspection but then

[1:48:33] you need to still do it to meet the

[1:48:35] federal standards which means you would

[1:48:37] need to hire a consultant to do it

[1:48:39] that way

[1:48:41] the benefit of this of course

[1:48:44] the whole reason this came up is the

[1:48:46] bridge inspections also always used to

[1:48:48] be down by districts and then central

[1:48:50] offices

[1:48:52] because the minneapolis bridge and all

[1:48:54] the things that are happening bridges

[1:48:56] they want to give the federal questions

[1:49:02] i will say there's no due date on that

[1:49:04] so i mean if you guys

[1:49:05] it wasn't on the agenda

[1:49:07] it can go away

[1:49:27] probably should budget for this yeah

[1:49:29] right on the eurozone's house you're

[1:49:30] spending

[1:49:31] fifty thousand dollars on it

[1:49:34] quite a hit

[1:49:36] that'll be no cost but like mike was

[1:49:38] saying too those costs are gonna go down

[1:49:40] and that was the whole reason

[1:49:53] mental notes

[1:49:57] for six months down the road

[1:50:02] we got a motion to hear from richard on

[1:50:05] this certificate for local matching for

[1:50:08] bridge inspections

[1:50:11] i need a second on this

[1:50:17] dead

[1:50:18] second all those in favor signify we're

[1:50:20] saying hi all right

[1:50:23] same sign motion carry

[1:50:26] the place on their russell for you to

[1:50:27] sign

[1:50:29] itself

[1:50:45] um

[1:51:15] [Music]

[1:51:31] i think this round

[1:52:12] we could probably apply for that

[1:52:14] sometimes

[1:52:16] yeah it's no hurry it's just that i

[1:52:18] you know i go by there in the dark in

[1:52:20] the morning and dark at night it's it is

[1:52:22] really hard to see if it's cloudy if

[1:52:24] it's foggy

[1:52:26] uh i've driven past the turn twice since

[1:52:29] i've been going to grand forks

[1:52:31] um

[1:52:32] it's just

[1:52:33] and then when you go up through that

[1:52:35] road to when you hit that northwood turn

[1:52:38] there is a light there yeah and that

[1:52:40] makes all the difference in the

[1:52:43] and get world

[1:52:44] it was so foggy

[1:52:51] and when i went to

[1:52:53] when i went to the hockey game on uh

[1:52:56] saturday last week there was a car in

[1:52:59] the ditch

[1:53:00] right at that turn

[1:53:02] so apparently he missed it and slid into

[1:53:04] a ditch i mean it was just so boggling

[1:53:09] it was just

[1:53:11] and coming to coming on eight to the

[1:53:14] south the rumble strips let you know

[1:53:18] that it's coming up whereas on the

[1:53:20] highway there's no rumble strips so

[1:53:23] i mean it's i've i've gone past it twice

[1:53:32] well that's what i mean they probably

[1:53:34] they didn't see the turn and then turned

[1:53:36] too late and then slid right into the

[1:53:38] ditch

[1:53:42] is that like a state project though too

[1:53:45] because they've done in other places

[1:53:48] i don't know if you want to get the

[1:53:49] state involved i didn't want to turn it

[1:53:50] into a big thing i mean i'm talking

[1:53:58] just something real simple

[1:54:01] it would be in the water on either side

[1:54:33] what their rules and regulations are too

[1:54:35] yeah so

[1:54:37] let's look into that a little bit

[1:54:44] what else we got

[1:54:46] uh

[1:54:47] last week

[1:55:02] together and uh because they're looking

[1:55:05] at uh

[1:55:07] maybe nine months old for a motivator

[1:55:11] and stuff you know so they would be

[1:55:13] coming due and

[1:55:15] we'd be getting the new motivator in

[1:55:17] 2023 in january of 2003.

[1:55:21] uh

[1:55:22] that machine the 2015 john deere

[1:55:27] has

[1:55:28] under 400

[1:55:39] [Music]

[1:55:43] did you check out

[1:55:48] how about

[1:55:50] that's not the first one to go though

[1:55:53] yeah

[1:55:55] isn't there an old cat still up here

[1:55:57] yeah that thing doesn't cost us

[1:56:00] at all

[1:56:01] last week the

[1:56:03] week before

[1:56:04] they had to replace the

[1:56:07] thermostats on it stuck open

[1:56:09] so

[1:56:10] it was running and his engine was

[1:56:12] cooling down and cooling down so then he

[1:56:14] came out and put thermostats in it

[1:56:17] got that fixed and then

[1:56:19] last week in the snowstorm uh

[1:56:23] the he got

[1:56:24] he ran to about 2 30 and he calls me and

[1:56:27] he goes i gotta order leak

[1:56:29] back to the shop

[1:56:30] but he got back to the shop with it and

[1:56:33] he come out and fix that there was

[1:56:34] another hydraulic hose and it rubbed the

[1:56:36] line and then what's the john deere

[1:56:38] about let's go here yeah

[1:56:41] it's just

[1:56:42] been nothing but problems match on here

[1:56:46] wiring harnesses and

[1:56:48] injectors and

[1:56:49] pumps and

[1:56:51] so

[1:56:51] [Music]

[1:56:53] that would be the next

[1:56:58] [Music]

[1:57:04] so we looked at the

[1:57:07] another probably asked this question in

[1:57:08] the past about leasing them what was the

[1:57:11] gig with that or are we going to lease

[1:57:14] price to

[1:57:15] what police

[1:57:16] yeah i think if we did last time because

[1:57:18] it's too much and put too many hours on

[1:57:30] [Music]

[1:57:37] it very similarly um so last time the

[1:57:40] commission looked at that within uh not

[1:57:42] this last year but the last time we

[1:57:43] thought

[1:57:44] uh it's not this last one was one before

[1:57:48] and uh i truly remember what the

[1:57:50] reasoning

[1:58:02] yeah they do

[1:58:04] there's a

[1:58:07] just just thinking about that i guess

[1:58:08] that's a great journey

[1:58:13] but after this they're an hour

[1:58:15] you know what's the

[1:58:16] absolutely after the seven years and

[1:58:18] then

[1:58:23] they ask you how many hours a year you

[1:58:24] put on yeah so

[1:58:26] i got the leases i've always had it's

[1:58:29] either a thousand hour 1500 per year

[1:58:38] yes

[1:58:48] we can look at that too so the plan for

[1:58:50] the creator is uh

[1:58:52] your main meeting we're hoping to vote

[1:58:54] for this so in april

[1:58:56] we'll come to you guys with the packet

[1:58:58] of information and you guys can

[1:59:00] hopefully approve

[1:59:15] well we need to

[1:59:17] put our budgets

[1:59:31] three minutes away

[1:59:35] um

[1:59:36] don't they run around three something

[1:59:39] three say three seventy five three

[1:59:43] you're looking fifty probably

[1:59:44] uh

[1:59:46] what do you say

[1:59:47] 15 increase or something

[1:59:50] you'll enjoy it four and a quarter yeah

[1:59:52] one quarter

[1:59:55] um

[1:59:59] other trucks around

[2:00:00] other trucks running

[2:00:03] too good

[2:00:04] um

[2:00:06] been

[2:00:07] little minor things like the heater fan

[2:00:10] and

[2:00:11] daniel's truck did

[2:00:13] every now and again take the cabinet

[2:00:15] with his foot and it would take off

[2:00:16] again

[2:00:19] but

[2:00:20] you know little things the windshield

[2:00:22] wiper fell off on the passenger side

[2:00:27] but little things otherwise the things

[2:00:30] have been going good

[2:00:32] cutting edges also i mean

[2:00:34] everything has increased dramatically

[2:00:37] it's just

[2:00:38] been crazy this year until

[2:00:42] um

[2:00:45] what do you guys want

[2:00:51] probably do by me yeah

[2:01:46] on them

[2:01:50] it's 10 o'clock we'll open the culvert

[2:01:52] bids now this time

[2:01:54] the only one i believe we've got here is

[2:01:56] from true north steel

[2:02:28] they got it all in a bunch of

[2:02:31] different sizes different gauges

[2:02:33] everything else and stuff

[2:02:35] i can make copies for everybody if you

[2:02:37] want normally you guys uh

[2:02:39] being it's the only one you don't think

[2:02:41] is acceptable

[2:02:42] um but if you i can make copies for

[2:02:44] everybody so you guys can look it up

[2:02:45] first

[2:02:46] when they sent that out didn't they

[2:02:47] write a letter that they

[2:02:49] they were wanting us to maybe

[2:02:51] do something after six months yeah so

[2:02:53] the letter that uh it was included as

[2:02:56] packets i believe was the um they want

[2:03:00] to make it for six months

[2:03:03] so they want they want to be held to

[2:03:04] this pricing for six months and then

[2:03:07] take a look at it again after six months

[2:03:09] so they want you guys to consider that

[2:03:12] um

[2:03:19] says something about the supplier to

[2:03:20] adjust raw materials prices going up or

[2:03:24] stuff

[2:03:25] they don't want to get into another

[2:03:26] situation like they did

[2:03:28] [Music]

[2:03:29] yeah

[2:03:30] so i'm surprised they're given six

[2:03:32] months

[2:03:35] i mean usually it's price time of

[2:03:37] delivery they did honor our pricing fee

[2:03:41] from last year you know

[2:03:43] they had sent us a letter stating that

[2:03:45] they were going to increase it they

[2:03:46] never did

[2:03:48] they held it to what what our bid price

[2:03:51] was on their covers last year

[2:03:53] which was very nice

[2:03:58] are you pretty well stocked with

[2:04:00] culverts

[2:04:13] [Music]

[2:04:19] all the culverts so the townships and

[2:04:21] all that is all accounted for and

[2:04:22] everything read

[2:04:28] uh

[2:04:29] one township this this week because

[2:04:32] they've had a bill since august

[2:04:34] and uh

[2:04:47] with the

[2:04:48] early meeting this month on year end

[2:04:52] i'm sure that the year-end reports for

[2:04:54] those things are

[2:04:56] not ready yet either

[2:05:01] for the culverts and stuff that ben

[2:05:02] usually does the year yeah so

[2:05:07] we're gonna run it up against that every

[2:05:09] month

[2:05:10] the meetings are right away in the first

[2:05:12] first of the month so bills aren't all

[2:05:15] in yet and

[2:05:22] i think the price of steel is gonna go

[2:05:24] higher yet

[2:05:42] accept this on a six-month basis

[2:05:52] because it's only good for six months

[2:06:06] did you up your budget for culverts

[2:06:16] and it's gonna be separated out now for

[2:06:18] them

[2:06:35] so

[2:06:36] just looking at some of these you're

[2:06:38] looking at 20 increases already from

[2:06:40] 21-22

[2:06:54] last year

[2:07:06] and so

[2:07:07] with that

[2:07:09] are you up to prices over here

[2:07:11] [Music]

[2:07:24] so

[2:07:25] i i

[2:07:26] missed the six month conversation but if

[2:07:28] you guys

[2:07:30] do

[2:07:32] you do this normally you just accept an

[2:07:34] award to the true north and then

[2:07:45] so we need a motion then to accept the

[2:07:47] bid from true north steel

[2:07:49] but so in where does it say though i

[2:07:51] know there was an email that

[2:07:53] he responded but is it does it say in

[2:07:55] here it's six months

[2:07:58] it's on this letter

[2:08:00] but it's not in his bid proposal right

[2:08:02] no they sent that out prior

[2:08:06] my understanding is

[2:08:11] but in this bid packet to me

[2:08:14] it doesn't say the six months

[2:08:17] to me this looks like it's a price for

[2:08:18] 2022

[2:08:20] total

[2:08:48] instead of dealing with the runner-up

[2:08:50] that we had to deal with last time i

[2:08:52] think they're just saying

[2:08:54] but last year they did

[2:08:55] they honored the prices

[2:08:57] for us

[2:09:00] i don't know if that's going to be the

[2:09:02] practice for

[2:09:03] yeah this letter totally different this

[2:09:05] letter gives them an hour

[2:09:07] this letter gives them an out that's six

[2:09:09] months but it's not in the bid pack at

[2:09:11] all it doesn't say that on here though

[2:09:16] i think regardless they're going to do

[2:09:17] they're going to know where they're

[2:09:18] going

[2:09:20] whatever we do

[2:09:22] we would have to go with a bond to me

[2:09:25] they should have put that right to hold

[2:09:27] it to it but they should have put that

[2:09:28] in the bid

[2:09:29] packet

[2:09:40] and who knows maybe in six months

[2:09:41] they'll be lord but

[2:09:44] i doubt it i doubt it

[2:09:50] but barnes county they do the big big

[2:09:53] bond

[2:09:54] where they're actually

[2:09:56] i mean that cost

[2:09:58] quite a bit extra money a lot more and

[2:10:02] they can hold them do that price for the

[2:10:04] year

[2:10:05] you know

[2:10:06] we just never went through that process

[2:10:09] cost us

[2:10:11] more paperwork

[2:10:13] we don't use that many covers compared

[2:10:14] to those countries

[2:10:16] how many colors you buy from july on

[2:10:20] roughly

[2:10:22] um i was just doing that

[2:10:24] the other day i got so i have final uh

[2:10:26] year-end numbers that i gotta get you

[2:10:28] guys i haven't got those reports that um

[2:10:30] we're at

[2:10:32] 70 or 80 last year total i think at the

[2:10:34] end of the year for last half year i

[2:10:36] think it was 20.

[2:10:39] so could you guesstimate that in june

[2:10:42] and

[2:10:43] it went down a little bit from the

[2:10:45] prior year you know to the russian water

[2:10:48] and stuff like that so

[2:10:50] we got snow this year yeah it's hard to

[2:10:52] say what we're going to get next spring

[2:10:58] but by june right you would know the

[2:11:01] kind of extent of what you needed and

[2:11:03] stuff like that you could pick up yeah

[2:11:05] yeah

[2:11:06] usually i would put together an order

[2:11:17] you know that we would end up buying

[2:11:20] uh and i i've been making the town just

[2:11:22] buy them directly from through north you

[2:11:25] know by using our

[2:11:27] our you know what our pricing is so it

[2:11:30] doesn't come off over our budget

[2:11:33] you know for some bigger than some

[2:11:35] bigger culverts so we're giving it to

[2:11:37] them for cost then

[2:11:38] yeah

[2:11:39] they get it i mean they'll deliver and

[2:11:41] everything for them

[2:11:53] but

[2:11:54] i mean

[2:11:55] it will work

[2:11:56] you know it just doesn't seem like he

[2:11:58] said in here

[2:11:59] uh

[2:12:02] once i can

[2:12:13] well i would say you take your inventory

[2:12:15] and

[2:12:17] it may figure out what you need for sure

[2:12:19] and then guesstimate what you think

[2:12:21] you're going to need and buy it all at

[2:12:22] one time and be

[2:12:24] hopefully you're done with it yeah and

[2:12:26] if you need some specialty stuff

[2:12:28] it is what it is price wise

[2:12:33] like what i've been doing before is i

[2:12:36] uh

[2:12:37] i got quite a bit of stock now but

[2:12:39] otherwise i would have a seminar

[2:12:41] delivered in february

[2:12:43] uh

[2:12:44] stuff so we you know put him in there

[2:12:48] we have pretty good inventory well if we

[2:12:51] have a lot of them let's just hold off

[2:12:52] until yeah

[2:12:54] yeah

[2:12:58] to see what we're going to need you know

[2:13:06] [Music]

[2:13:39] you have

[2:13:44] i'll make martian

[2:13:46] get a motion on the culvert fit no

[2:13:48] second

[2:13:53] and we're going to accept the

[2:13:57] the six year or the six months look back

[2:13:59] then

[2:14:03] this motion is just to buy from true

[2:14:05] north yeah so it's got nothing to do

[2:14:07] with anything else okay

[2:14:09] i'll second that okay we got a motion

[2:14:12] in a second on the caller bids all those

[2:15:38] time we had raised it was in

[2:15:40] 2020

[2:15:42] and stuff and then we raised it from

[2:15:45] 800

[2:15:46] to 850.

[2:15:49] so

[2:15:50] i'll make a motion that we wait till

[2:15:52] next year to raise it

[2:15:54] got a motion for richard to leave

[2:15:56] it as is

[2:15:59] i need a second

[2:16:01] childhood

[2:16:10] we put in the letter that

[2:16:13] look for a price increase next year

[2:16:15] okay so they got it in their head yeah

[2:16:19] okay all those in favor signify by

[2:16:21] saying hi all right

[2:16:23] post same sign motion carry

[2:16:26] okay let's go down to weather closing

[2:16:30] who is on that committee for that and

[2:16:34] how does that go do they get paid time

[2:16:37] for that or not

[2:16:39] so

[2:16:41] this has

[2:16:42] come up

[2:16:43] richard knows

[2:16:44] um

[2:16:46] we were closed for the day

[2:16:49] and

[2:16:50] since

[2:16:51] 2017 i believe you guys

[2:16:54] had made

[2:16:55] this discussion and we've followed since

[2:16:58] then that if somebody was already on

[2:17:01] vacation and taking vacation

[2:17:05] they needed to use their babies

[2:17:07] vacation

[2:17:08] and so

[2:17:11] that

[2:17:14] was somebody on vacation called richard

[2:17:18] and you told that person they could take

[2:17:23] storm day

[2:17:25] oh no that's no i told him i said that

[2:17:29] i don't know what the rules are in the

[2:17:30] handbook that we need to bring that up

[2:17:32] at the commission

[2:17:34] okay i don't believe that's what the

[2:17:36] email coming back

[2:17:38] amy said

[2:17:40] so i put it on the agenda

[2:17:43] um just so it can get clarified you guys

[2:17:46] can make your decision

[2:17:48] um

[2:17:49] you know it's been followed consistently

[2:17:51] and there's been a lot of other people

[2:17:53] affected by it we have to stay

[2:17:57] but it doesn't say in our policy manual

[2:17:59] so we maybe we should do an adjustment

[2:18:01] on that

[2:18:03] i know trail county it shows in their

[2:18:05] policy manual that if they're on

[2:18:07] vacation

[2:18:09] that

[2:18:10] they cannot use a storm day if they're

[2:18:12] on a vacation

[2:18:14] so we probably should clarify that

[2:18:18] i would say i would say we should but

[2:18:20] that's just yeah i know it's we are also

[2:18:23] not trail county i know that but

[2:18:27] that needs to be in policy though

[2:18:29] i think it should be as if it's if it

[2:18:31] comes up then it's i mean i'm surprised

[2:18:33] it's not if i can't believe

[2:18:38] um

[2:18:39] i mean if you're on vacation why would

[2:18:41] you think you

[2:18:42] well you want to save your day i i

[2:18:44] understand that but

[2:18:46] if you're not working

[2:18:49] and there were

[2:18:50] more than one of us myself then

[2:18:54] someone else

[2:18:55] that did work from home that day

[2:18:58] and

[2:19:00] she she

[2:19:01] chooses to work from home

[2:19:03] other days

[2:19:04] she was on vacation i just

[2:19:08] yeah

[2:19:11] i think it's all we should change that

[2:19:13] in our policy whatever we want to change

[2:19:14] it to to be in the policy

[2:19:16] [Music]

[2:19:18] just so we don't have this issue down

[2:19:20] the road

[2:19:21] because that's

[2:19:23] but it goes back what are we gonna give

[2:19:26] it to him then

[2:19:28] i i honestly couldn't remember what

[2:19:30] we've done in the past

[2:19:35] i told her i said i can't make a

[2:19:36] decision myself

[2:19:43] i don't i think if you're on vacation

[2:19:45] you're on vacation

[2:19:46] i agree but i get her point as well i i

[2:19:50] yeah

[2:19:51] so if you're in cancun

[2:19:53] for 10 days

[2:19:55] and we get snowed out here you get a

[2:19:57] free i know

[2:19:59] i say we stay consistent and do whatever

[2:20:02] we got to do in the policy to make it

[2:20:04] that way

[2:20:06] that's a good one

[2:20:08] it's true yeah yeah

[2:20:10] yeah

[2:20:11] i agree with brian also when you think

[2:20:13] about it too of thinking back to the

[2:20:16] exempt side of things

[2:20:18] um

[2:20:19] [Music]

[2:20:21] as emily said that you know you're

[2:20:22] working you can work from home to

[2:20:26] so i'm just

[2:20:28] spitting so

[2:20:29] you know when you're on vacation you're

[2:20:31] on vacation even if it is

[2:20:33] storm vapors hey or

[2:20:36] just thinking about it here a little bit

[2:20:41] but i would think that you as an

[2:20:43] individual if you had your capabilities

[2:20:45] of working from home on a storm date

[2:20:48] you know you would automatically do that

[2:20:51] without questioning anything you know

[2:20:54] you know stuff that you got to get done

[2:20:56] to do

[2:20:57] so you're doing it so

[2:21:02] you're getting paid for it anyway then

[2:21:03] so

[2:21:08] um

[2:21:13] well let's let's maybe stick uh

[2:21:16] with what we've done in the past so it's

[2:21:18] fair to everybody

[2:21:19] let's also probably get the policy

[2:21:22] manual updated with that verbiage in

[2:21:24] there

[2:21:26] well is it in the

[2:21:27] policy manual now that

[2:21:29] on a storm day people automatically get

[2:21:32] paid

[2:21:33] no i don't believe so is it

[2:21:35] automatically getting paid

[2:21:37] as far as whether they are on vacation

[2:21:39] communication no i don't think there's

[2:21:41] anything in our policy manual

[2:21:43] that's what i'm saying it's just normal

[2:21:44] that

[2:21:45] storm day you get picked

[2:21:47] yeah okay so i think we need to well

[2:21:49] it's an act it's an act of god so i mean

[2:21:52] nothing you can do about it but yeah

[2:21:54] there's nothing on there that says that

[2:21:56] if you're on vacation that you will get

[2:21:58] paid storm time instead of vacation so i

[2:22:00] think

[2:22:01] we need to put that in the policy so

[2:22:04] or

[2:22:05] we don't and just then

[2:22:07] it's a day off it's a day off

[2:22:09] i mean

[2:22:11] that's what you do

[2:22:14] i mean

[2:22:15] i mean we could leave it but i just

[2:22:16] think that there's no we don't have this

[2:22:18] problem ever again

[2:22:20] we just need to clarify that yeah

[2:22:22] absolutely if you're on vacation

[2:22:24] yeah you use your vacation

[2:22:26] not a start right yeah

[2:22:29] if that's the way we want to go that's

[2:22:30] what i think we should

[2:22:32] clarify that i know it's more stuff to

[2:22:34] add to it i mean but i've been doing it

[2:22:36] for five years if that's the way it's

[2:22:38] been for five years we gotta leave it so

[2:22:40] it's fair today everybody it's been

[2:22:41] longer than five years i'm sure wow i

[2:22:43] don't know

[2:22:44] because i know back in the old days

[2:22:47] at that point because i went back to

[2:22:48] look yeah but i mean

[2:22:51] years ago it was common sense you just

[2:22:53] that would never come up

[2:22:55] but

[2:22:56] nowadays it's

[2:22:57] that kind of crap comes out

[2:23:00] i would ask probably for a motion

[2:23:03] to put it in the handbook as that and

[2:23:05] that is the way i don't know if that's

[2:23:07] the correct verb maybe we should have

[2:23:08] charlie even give us a little pointer to

[2:23:11] the correct verbiage but i think we

[2:23:13] should do some kind of verbiage

[2:23:15] and he did trail community policy manual

[2:23:18] so

[2:23:19] we should ask him what it says

[2:23:25] i don't know if i have it with me i

[2:23:27] should say i have our policy manual with

[2:23:29] me

[2:23:30] um but so all week but what we can do

[2:23:32] those with uh for right now we can make

[2:23:34] a decision on

[2:23:36] that person's

[2:23:39] and then we'll talk about the verbiage

[2:23:40] later with charlie

[2:23:42] right yep

[2:23:44] does that need to be in motion we need a

[2:23:46] motion i'll make that motion

[2:23:48] multiplication time vacation time

[2:23:53] emotion on the floor

[2:23:55] need a second

[2:24:06] same sign motion carried

[2:24:20] well we got leslie

[2:24:22] luminol coming at 10 30 and stuff

[2:24:27] do we wanna

[2:24:29] she'll be here at 10 30 she's

[2:24:32] um on her way she answered my email

[2:24:35] um

[2:24:38] i don't know if you guys have a long

[2:24:39] discussion on budget amendments or not

[2:24:42] if you had a chance to look that over

[2:24:47] that is something we do every year

[2:24:49] i

[2:24:50] shows you

[2:24:51] which funds went over

[2:24:53] and the amendments the transfers you

[2:24:55] opened last month are also on there

[2:24:58] what are we what are we looking at here

[2:25:06] so would we uh

[2:25:08] should we talk about that verbiage or do

[2:25:11] we could we add that in our next month's

[2:25:13] meeting

[2:25:15] on that

[2:25:16] or are we

[2:25:17] to put in the handbook

[2:25:19] yeah i think we should

[2:25:21] not watch it

[2:25:37] coming into the meeting

[2:25:39] who knows

[2:25:41] i don't know

[2:25:42] for sure

[2:25:44] okay

[2:25:46] so

[2:25:47] first or original budget is that first

[2:25:49] column which was approved for 2021.

[2:25:53] the actual expenditures

[2:25:55] is the next column

[2:25:57] the resulting position

[2:26:00] the amendment needed

[2:26:02] which would equal the final budget

[2:26:04] amount once approved

[2:26:08] residual balance

[2:26:10] for

[2:26:11] under

[2:26:13] expenses are

[2:26:15] on that last column reasons to the right

[2:26:19] very right

[2:26:20] so the 411 that's

[2:26:25] that's in

[2:26:26] in the green then yeah yes okay

[2:26:29] where does that go back to the

[2:26:31] background general fund nope those are

[2:26:33] all in those

[2:26:35] um representative funds that they're

[2:26:37] they stay in there correct they should

[2:26:39] just stay in that fund okay then they

[2:26:41] then in the budget we refill that again

[2:26:45] right so those amounts too like a

[2:26:48] percentage of

[2:26:50] um

[2:26:51] where we are at with expenditures and

[2:26:53] estimated funds to end up as is used to

[2:26:56] calculate the levy for this year

[2:26:59] so it's not like

[2:27:01] additional funds that are

[2:27:03] up for grabs at that point

[2:27:07] i gotcha

[2:27:17] um

[2:27:18] [Music]

[2:27:22] it's really not that much of a

[2:27:25] leeway if you look at it that way

[2:27:29] for the whole county

[2:27:42] the second page on to that just kind of

[2:27:44] broke down what goes into the general

[2:27:47] fund

[2:27:48] part of it

[2:27:49] and

[2:27:51] um

[2:27:52] just a little bit more information on

[2:27:53] that level of it

[2:27:59] morning

[2:28:05] [Music]

[2:28:17] [Music]

[2:28:22] i didn't come out last year

[2:28:26] the

[2:28:27] difference

[2:28:28] well i'd have to go pull that one just

[2:28:30] off top of your hand

[2:28:33] close

[2:28:34] i don't have a off the top of my head i

[2:28:36] just got that completed yesterday with

[2:28:38] end of year

[2:28:40] [Music]

[2:28:45] morning hi

[2:29:15] do you want a motion i do need a motion

[2:29:20] except for

[2:29:30] budget amendments

[2:29:32] that second all those in favor saying if

[2:29:33] i have a saying

[2:29:34] i all right

[2:29:37] all the same sign

[2:29:47] well it's 10 30 and it's time for leslie

[2:29:56] hi

[2:29:57] good morning

[2:29:58] good morning i'm here today to talk

[2:30:01] about hiring a new agent for steel

[2:30:04] county

[2:30:05] we had interviews about

[2:30:08] three and a half weeks ago and we found

[2:30:10] a successful candidate

[2:30:12] and my ass to the commission is that we

[2:30:16] hire her at 54 000

[2:30:19] our extension-based policy

[2:30:22] for master's degree this person has a

[2:30:25] master's in animal science

[2:30:26] is 50

[2:30:28] 200.

[2:30:30] they're coming with three years of

[2:30:33] ndsu extension experience

[2:30:36] with them

[2:30:38] and i feel that that is a value

[2:30:41] that

[2:30:43] their salary should be competitive to

[2:30:46] others in the system that have that

[2:30:48] years of service or close to that years

[2:30:50] of service

[2:30:55] so i'm asking today if the commission

[2:30:57] would approve

[2:30:59] that

[2:31:01] salary

[2:31:02] um have you guys heard that amber

[2:31:05] resigned

[2:31:06] yes

[2:31:07] so

[2:31:09] so um this salary is more than what

[2:31:12] angie was making angie did not have a

[2:31:14] master's degree

[2:31:15] position

[2:31:17] she was

[2:31:18] she had found the compression as well

[2:31:20] at that time

[2:31:24] well it's based off of we're half right

[2:31:27] so

[2:31:28] and then depending on the other agent's

[2:31:31] salary but um

[2:31:34] for the two agents it's 39 684

[2:31:38] is what was in the budget for next year

[2:31:54] when

[2:32:08] this fiscal year

[2:32:11] and her position

[2:32:13] um

[2:32:15] extension we need to have a group

[2:32:18] calculator reservation letters

[2:32:45] so we're looking at

[2:32:46] 54 000.

[2:32:49] yep and then she would be eligible for a

[2:32:51] raise

[2:32:53] this year

[2:32:54] that would come in july

[2:32:56] and that would be a two percent is what

[2:32:59] we put put down on paper for her

[2:33:10] after six months and leslie's not what

[2:33:12] you're considering there

[2:33:14] we give raises if people come on before

[2:33:17] april

[2:33:18] first because

[2:33:21] and i we feel that you know if you get

[2:33:23] behind one ear it's hard to catch that

[2:33:26] out

[2:33:26] so she is gonna in her written offer i

[2:33:28] would write that she's also for an

[2:33:30] increase in the state of north dakota

[2:33:32] for state employees is that two percent

[2:33:34] of the average

[2:33:37] so that's what i would

[2:33:40] also think about too is

[2:33:43] i'm sorry did we amber

[2:33:46] or are we thinking of re-hiring for that

[2:33:48] you guys have probably just discussed

[2:33:49] that yeah i haven't discussed it my

[2:33:53] what's what's your feeling on that or

[2:33:55] i feel that i would prefer a support

[2:33:58] staff in the office

[2:34:00] versus a second agent

[2:34:10] i just feel like you guys

[2:34:13] you're very supportive of extension and

[2:34:14] that's amazing and i'm trying to think

[2:34:16] about the clients that they serve

[2:34:18] but having

[2:34:21] a support staff

[2:34:24] it's helpful for

[2:34:26] running bills and also just being a

[2:34:28] customer

[2:34:37] amber's position as

[2:34:39] the family community wellness agent who

[2:34:42] paid cap

[2:34:48] so i think their thought is the half for

[2:34:51] that

[2:34:52] combined with the part-time

[2:34:54] or the partial salary we currently have

[2:34:56] for the support staff

[2:34:58] would get

[2:35:00] somebody maybe in there more

[2:35:01] consistently for them

[2:35:04] yeah that's my personal feelings on it i

[2:35:07] haven't talked to my

[2:35:09] colleagues

[2:35:11] about it

[2:35:21] i'd make a motion to prove that

[2:35:24] i'll second

[2:35:30] motion in the second on the floor

[2:35:33] on the extensions

[2:35:35] sorry

[2:35:36] mister the new hire

[2:35:38] which is

[2:35:40] which is megan vid right

[2:35:43] well i think

[2:35:44] [Laughter]

[2:35:48] i thought everybody already knew

[2:35:51] so

[2:35:53] all those in favor signify by saying i

[2:35:55] all right

[2:35:56] opposed

[2:35:58] same side motion carried

[2:36:01] i would think uh

[2:36:03] most of the support of the commission we

[2:36:05] would like to see it

[2:36:13] so i will

[2:36:15] be in touch with you guys about what we

[2:36:17] decide

[2:36:18] on our end for a second agent

[2:36:35] of that hiring process absolutely and

[2:36:37] that's yeah that's kind of

[2:36:39] i'd like her involved um

[2:36:43] and secondly

[2:36:45] i'd like to thank amber for her

[2:36:47] for her dedication to steel county and

[2:36:49] the things she's done and filling in

[2:36:51] when

[2:36:53] we've been short too so

[2:36:56] should be missed on her side too so

[2:36:58] especially

[2:37:02] the

[2:37:09] she's very talented person

[2:37:13] yeah very very talented person yep

[2:37:39] she said she'd be

[2:37:41] well available

[2:37:42] for the new

[2:37:44] agent coming in to help them get settled

[2:37:47] too so she offered her

[2:37:49] her

[2:37:52] time for that too so that was

[2:37:55] very good of her to do that

[2:37:57] yeah and i've kept megan in the loop too

[2:37:59] with

[2:38:00] staff changes happening during this

[2:38:02] hiring process so she's aware that

[2:38:05] she'll be coming in alone initially

[2:38:10] i think that's that's we should shoot

[2:38:12] for let's getting that office staff that

[2:38:15] normal

[2:38:16] phil

[2:38:17] get something ironed out there

[2:38:20] so i will work on it on my end and um

[2:38:33] um

[2:38:34] for ndsu positions they have to be

[2:38:37] i think it's for like 28 business days

[2:38:45] to be honest

[2:38:48] so

[2:38:50] okay well thank you i won't take any

[2:38:51] more time all right thank you thank you

[2:38:54] all right take care

[2:39:04] [Music]

[2:39:05] okay moving on let's take

[2:39:08] catherine public health nurse

[2:39:14] good morning

[2:39:37] which is good i don't think we typically

[2:39:39] are

[2:39:41] done

[2:39:53] ugh

[2:40:08] we've been getting calls about giving

[2:40:10] shots

[2:40:13] probably

[2:40:14] 20-ish people signed up for the next

[2:40:20] when are you gonna get are you gonna do

[2:40:21] kids yeah we're doing kids right now we

[2:40:23] are yeah

[2:40:25] so

[2:40:29] mike overland

[2:40:30] got me the other day said ask about it

[2:40:40] he's got three kids so the youngest is

[2:40:43] five

[2:40:44] so and he was thinking that maybe you

[2:40:46] should

[2:41:05] so what is that game catherine why don't

[2:41:07] you go through that

[2:41:09] [Music]

[2:41:24] if you're positive regardless of your

[2:41:25] status of vaccination you have to stay

[2:41:27] home for five years

[2:41:29] and then after that

[2:41:31] you're going to wear a mask and come

[2:41:33] back to work or

[2:41:34] forgot your normal routine you just have

[2:41:36] to have a very well fitting mask

[2:41:39] if you have a fever you have to stick

[2:41:41] until that's

[2:41:42] gone

[2:41:45] if you are exposed

[2:41:48] then

[2:41:49] if you have been boosted there's

[2:41:50] different rules um you wear mascara and

[2:41:53] others for 10 days and you should test

[2:41:55] on day 5 if possible

[2:41:58] and if you have not been boosted

[2:42:01] or you've been vaccinated then you are

[2:42:03] supposed to stay home for five days

[2:42:12] you should stay home for five days

[2:42:36] so

[2:42:44] and friday last friday

[2:42:46] was a friday i sent out an email

[2:42:49] yeah it was friday

[2:42:57] [Music]

[2:43:01] yeah

[2:43:04] short periods of time it was like

[2:43:06] nothing that

[2:43:21] so

[2:43:24] yeah it's going to be interesting to see

[2:43:25] how this falls

[2:43:48] i got mine

[2:43:50] so if we've been boosted and we've been

[2:43:52] around this person what are we supposed

[2:43:54] to do

[2:43:57] if you've been boosted then you can wear

[2:43:58] a mask on others for techniques

[2:44:01] that's what they recommend intestines

[2:44:16] has the one person

[2:44:19] that was around him been sent home yet

[2:44:22] that is something i

[2:44:23] will be working on

[2:44:24] um

[2:44:26] we can talk about that

[2:44:30] well

[2:44:32] um

[2:44:35] what if you've been vaccinated twice not

[2:44:38] boosted but and have covert

[2:44:40] and had covert already then you're good

[2:44:42] you've been a 90-day

[2:44:56] but

[2:44:59] three projects

[2:45:01] emily is working hard on the health

[2:45:02] equity she's

[2:45:03] bringing up some good ideas some

[2:45:07] plans online

[2:45:09] i am ready for a couple well i wrote for

[2:45:11] another grant with kyra in february on

[2:45:14] and finishing another grant that will be

[2:45:16] in february on

[2:45:18] both will help that health equity

[2:45:21] grant um both of american wellness

[2:45:25] and to bring some more

[2:45:28] finances to the county to help promote

[2:45:29] that so it doesn't come out with county

[2:45:31] dollars or anything

[2:45:33] and then we also got the substance abuse

[2:45:35] grant for twenty thousand dollars

[2:45:38] and next we'll be working with the

[2:45:40] sheriff's office to implement

[2:45:43] and

[2:45:46] rick and i

[2:45:50] have a meeting on

[2:45:51] thursday with the state

[2:45:54] to discuss that and get a little more in

[2:45:56] depth get some more guidance on it

[2:46:03] [Music]

[2:46:06] so

[2:46:07] that's all i got for you guys

[2:46:11] how's your new employee working over

[2:46:13] it's great

[2:46:14] good she is

[2:46:16] jumping into the role especially with me

[2:46:18] and gone right away

[2:46:19] um she's right now she's been brushing

[2:46:23] up on our policies and reading our

[2:46:26] health equity plans back she's on her

[2:46:28] second time reading it and coming up

[2:46:32] it's good

[2:46:38] so

[2:46:38] i'm just going to go back back to this

[2:46:40] color positive in four dose so now we've

[2:46:42] had that this morning

[2:46:45] shouldn't that bother be done

[2:46:47] i haven't seen by yet

[2:46:49] um

[2:47:02] i don't know i mean it can't hurt

[2:47:04] especially if we just

[2:47:18] last week also every day twice a day

[2:47:22] and covered the days that people were

[2:47:24] assigned

[2:47:33] yeah and there were employees assigned

[2:47:36] that i don't know if that was covered or

[2:47:38] asked to cover anyone else but

[2:47:41] i don't know if there's a better way to

[2:47:43] do that or not

[2:47:44] but

[2:47:45] yeah

[2:47:46] i would just honestly forget about it i

[2:47:48] think it's just not the time

[2:47:51] there's a new reminder here today well

[2:47:53] it's my top priority

[2:47:55] yeah if we're gonna have people coming

[2:47:57] and going i'd like to see

[2:47:59] masks or something

[2:48:01] or clinics in the building i mean and

[2:48:03] i'm not saying you shouldn't do clinics

[2:48:05] but

[2:48:06] i need your body for those

[2:48:10] whether or not

[2:48:22] uh

[2:48:30] well

[2:48:31] you have a janitor here that can do that

[2:48:34] stuff so

[2:48:37] the question we're going to ask

[2:48:39] catherine was

[2:48:41] can we require

[2:48:44] a cova test

[2:48:47] to somebody in

[2:48:49] our employment

[2:48:50] range

[2:48:53] is that you cannot

[2:48:55] if they're sick is that your question

[2:48:57] yes yes

[2:49:00] from what i've read on the cdc you

[2:49:01] cannot um

[2:49:03] you can require a doctor's note so we

[2:49:06] can require and have a cold test to come

[2:49:08] back to work

[2:49:11] i gotta read more into it but i

[2:49:13] what i found in the cdc was that we

[2:49:15] don't have to require them to go home

[2:49:18] take a cover test and they can go home

[2:49:20] basically which i don't really

[2:49:21] understand

[2:49:23] um

[2:49:27] [Music]

[2:49:32] so how do you prove

[2:49:34] you have coven if you don't take a test

[2:49:38] do you get names of people that are

[2:49:40] positive in the county no no

[2:49:43] i do not have to mess up

[2:49:54] for example

[2:49:56] that that's what they say yeah and i've

[2:49:59] had

[2:50:00] my shots on my booster but still they

[2:50:02] say people are getting it so i don't

[2:50:04] know but i mean you could knowingly do

[2:50:06] it so that's the thing is i don't have a

[2:50:09] way

[2:50:10] to get that i mean i can look up a

[2:50:12] person if

[2:50:14] i know for a reason

[2:50:16] to look it up but i can't just go

[2:50:18] fishing

[2:50:25] so

[2:50:27] i think the easiest solution would be to

[2:50:29] require doctors

[2:50:31] if they're sick like i've had somebody

[2:50:33] come to me and say

[2:50:35] they have symptoms of something and it's

[2:50:37] you've got to go home because you're not

[2:50:39] blindfolded

[2:50:54] it's getting them to go home not come to

[2:50:56] work sick that's the hard part that's i

[2:50:59] mean

[2:51:00] when i get backlash

[2:51:02] when

[2:51:16] i don't know but what do i do at that

[2:51:19] point too when they're refusing to be do

[2:51:21] i help them say hey

[2:51:24] i think if you're i think if you're our

[2:51:26] public nurse you have the right to say

[2:51:29] that's where our catch 22 is because we

[2:51:31] you know

[2:51:32] the covet pay whether we keep it on or

[2:51:35] take it off is

[2:51:37] we don't want people coming in if

[2:51:38] they're sick because they don't have

[2:51:39] sick time

[2:51:41] well

[2:51:42] is there anybody that does not have if

[2:51:44] we're gonna pay covet pay we'd like

[2:51:47] to know that they got going that's gonna

[2:51:49] be out

[2:51:50] when you finish the discussion with her

[2:51:56] you know so last year

[2:52:06] right and we did it again yeah it's just

[2:52:08] fortuitous whether you've got it in 20

[2:52:10] or 21 or

[2:52:12] 22.

[2:52:13] what we're talking about is how do we

[2:52:15] know

[2:52:16] can we require a covet test to prove

[2:52:19] that they've had covet

[2:52:21] so but in that sense though too if my

[2:52:23] kid gets cold and i have to stay home

[2:52:25] that was part of it too it wasn't

[2:53:09] and i you know

[2:53:10] i do i trust everybody here that would

[2:53:13] be you know on the up and up on

[2:53:15] everything but

[2:53:16] you know

[2:53:17] thank god we're a small place

[2:53:50] anymore

[2:53:54] two weeks after she was diagnosed

[2:53:57] pancakes and stuff

[2:54:00] she had a pancake last night she

[2:54:02] wouldn't want the rest of this and used

[2:54:03] her pork and they had airplane gig and i

[2:54:06] got copied four days later yeah and it

[2:54:08] would just never be thought of but it

[2:54:09] might not happen from that either it

[2:54:11] might not

[2:54:12] it was a good chance it did but

[2:54:14] who knows everybody where i got but

[2:54:16] that's what i'm thinking about

[2:54:27] my brain that whole week and i couldn't

[2:54:29] tell you where i got it

[2:54:34] yeah yeah so you would have been still

[2:54:36] covered so

[2:54:38] i know people that have worn nests

[2:54:40] everywhere and

[2:54:42] have been very

[2:54:44] big on hand washing and things and

[2:54:45] they've still got it so

[2:54:55] quarantine is

[2:54:57] most people cliche

[2:55:00] two or three days after

[2:55:04] so

[2:55:06] our situation two and then

[2:55:08] something like this

[2:55:11] so eight days left

[2:55:13] cuts it back a little bit

[2:55:15] but do we know

[2:55:16] i mean

[2:55:17] who's been boosted and not because then

[2:55:19] it's 10 days right

[2:55:43] there's an addendum that they have to

[2:55:44] follow the

[2:55:45] cdc guys

[2:55:48] quarantined for five days but they've

[2:55:49] come back to work well i think we've

[2:55:51] already made that clear if they have to

[2:55:53] follow the cdc

[2:55:57] that was in the original can you make

[2:55:59] them that's that goes back to the

[2:56:01] masking thing is is where i

[2:56:04] brought that up they have to follow the

[2:56:06] cdc guidance to be at work

[2:56:09] in the workplace because that is in our

[2:56:11] policy that's in the public health

[2:56:13] policy that was provided is that they

[2:56:16] have to follow that if they've been

[2:56:18] exposed

[2:56:19] they need to be wearing that mask and

[2:56:20] you see a little mask out that's sitting

[2:56:22] down here got a mask swapping out on the

[2:56:25] side

[2:56:26] um

[2:56:28] in the series

[2:56:29] guidance that says a well-fitted desk

[2:56:32] i can provide a masks every day they can

[2:56:35] get a brand new one just like the on

[2:56:36] your hair every single day

[2:56:38] because those are probably the best

[2:56:39] fitting ones i've seen in the black ones

[2:56:42] some of them fit well but

[2:56:43] i would prefer to see them wearing a

[2:56:45] search bar

[2:56:46] and we have those at the front and back

[2:56:48] so for some reason

[2:56:54] yeah well yeah and we should send out

[2:56:57] another email to remind everybody the

[2:56:59] cdc requirements and that we

[2:57:02] voted to follow that

[2:57:04] that's what they need to follow

[2:57:21] but then that's just like

[2:57:23] and i should have one underneath

[2:57:25] i

[2:57:26] don't want to believe it either but

[2:57:29] everyone else do

[2:57:31] well we voted on those guidelines

[2:57:33] already

[2:57:45] richard there are

[2:57:47] three full-time that have under 20 hours

[2:57:50] of sick and one part time

[2:57:57] so catherine your recommendations for me

[2:57:59] going into a store in mayville grand

[2:58:01] forks fargo or whatever it says you know

[2:58:04] if you've been vaccinated and boosted

[2:58:05] and everything else

[2:58:07] it says

[2:58:08] could you please still wear a mask

[2:58:10] should you do that or not

[2:58:20] um

[2:58:22] do you have to call it it's

[2:58:24] it's just a recommendation it's not a

[2:58:27] it's not a law

[2:58:28] so

[2:58:30] it is the best recommendations well i

[2:58:32] just i got some appointments tomorrow on

[2:58:34] grand forks and so i'm just wondering

[2:58:40] well health care facilities won't allow

[2:58:43] type

[2:58:44] um yeah just looking forward to trying

[3:33:24] unpaid

[3:33:26] and not use all of her sick and vacation

[3:33:29] time

[3:33:30] so

[3:33:37] so that's a request also from her right

[3:33:40] yes

[3:33:42] yes

[3:33:43] you got the floor there sit in front of

[3:33:46] the mic

[3:33:48] hello gentlemen ladies good morning

[3:33:51] okay

[3:33:52] i contacted

[3:33:55] um i think franco

[3:33:58] richard you said the other place was

[3:34:00] what was it

[3:34:02] stein well they took over stein

[3:34:07] i looked and looked and looked couldn't

[3:34:09] find stuff anymore

[3:34:11] did morehead

[3:34:12] oh fargo

[3:34:17] but this is from bremjo

[3:34:19] um

[3:34:21] the little one that i liked

[3:34:23] the one i know how to use is the

[3:34:27] tornado bb

[3:34:29] 14 4

[3:34:30] and it's 3

[3:34:32] 700

[3:34:35] so i he sent another one for karcher

[3:34:39] it's a

[3:34:40] 3812. for 4 800. but he said have a

[3:34:44] lithium battery i looked on the

[3:34:47] batteries and i thought the batteries

[3:34:49] with the tornado were expensive but

[3:34:50] they're only

[3:34:52] like 84 bucks a piece

[3:34:54] the archer one is like 2400.

[3:34:58] oh i know i would oh i don't think so

[3:35:02] and the machine

[3:35:05] the one

[3:35:06] the tornado that i used at ucsu

[3:35:11] it was 2015 so it lasted years and that

[3:35:15] took a beating

[3:35:16] because

[3:35:17] you had all those kids coming through

[3:35:19] all day long

[3:35:21] and they had to move it from up and down

[3:35:23] so

[3:35:24] and they didn't have a elevator exposed

[3:35:28] so

[3:35:29] well this is all running batteries in

[3:35:31] yeah it's all

[3:35:33] battery-operated there's no wires which

[3:35:35] is nice because

[3:35:44] [Music]

[3:35:51] i kind of like the tornado more

[3:35:54] because of the reason why is because the

[3:35:56] batteries aren't expensive

[3:35:59] [Music]

[3:36:00] looks like it'd be easier to handle too

[3:36:04] let's

[3:36:18] you know they have a lot of stuff there

[3:36:20] they have a lot of different models a

[3:36:22] lot of different

[3:36:23] i went on their website

[3:36:25] these ones

[3:36:28] yeah

[3:36:29] they had one like this some sort of like

[3:36:31] this

[3:36:33] the guy was telling me that you know

[3:36:35] they have the big models like push that

[3:36:37] are bigger he says

[3:36:39] these they have more troubles with

[3:36:41] coming in for service ability where the

[3:36:43] other ones are both

[3:36:46] he says they don't have much trouble

[3:36:47] they're indestructible

[3:36:49] i've never used one like that but he had

[3:36:50] they had one of these on the floor for

[3:36:52] like i used the tornado and i used it to

[3:36:55] death and it's still working now you're

[3:36:57] talking about the big gigantic ones yes

[3:36:59] they do we're credible

[3:37:14] and that's what i was thinking one thing

[3:37:16] i thought of where are you going to keep

[3:37:18] it

[3:37:19] basement

[3:37:20] because it needs to be charged and then

[3:37:22] you uncharge your charges and you charge

[3:37:24] it in in the morning

[3:37:26] and then if you're not using it then you

[3:37:28] unplug it

[3:37:41] this one

[3:37:49] is it in your budget

[3:37:51] yes

[3:37:54] i'd like to hear that

[3:37:56] yes

[3:37:58] it is but see if i would get the the

[3:38:01] other one the

[3:38:03] the karcher that one is

[3:38:06] taking most of my budget and probably

[3:38:08] the sales packs and stuff

[3:38:10] i don't think they do

[3:38:23] and i know

[3:38:24] how to take care of it and clean it and

[3:38:27] all that good stuff so

[3:38:29] that's the only reason i'm

[3:38:31] going towards that one

[3:38:33] the tornado

[3:38:35] the other one is a new one so i don't

[3:38:37] know anything about it

[3:38:38] i mean it's not like i can't find out

[3:38:40] [Music]

[3:38:41] they do a lot of investigating but

[3:38:46] so that's the ones you use in valley

[3:38:47] city that tornado

[3:38:49] so the tornado this is for used prices

[3:38:55] [Music]

[3:38:57] yesterday

[3:38:59] so yeah

[3:39:06] you don't want one that you can ride on

[3:39:08] or anything like that or no

[3:39:11] you'd run down the stairs

[3:39:13] yeah

[3:39:14] and at least this one i could have

[3:39:16] somebody help me

[3:39:17] grab lower you know

[3:39:20] i can't do the steps which that's not a

[3:39:21] problem

[3:39:22] i don't i'm

[3:39:25] using a razor blade to take all the old

[3:39:27] collars off the stacks

[3:39:28] so that's no problem why it's still

[3:39:31] you're not going to be able to either

[3:39:32] because you're not going to do the

[3:39:33] landings you can

[3:39:35] who's going to lift them

[3:39:37] i can get somebody to help me

[3:39:38] no i'm not helping you

[3:39:42] everyone's complaining

[3:39:46] how heavy are they i mean really real

[3:39:48] question

[3:39:55] without the water

[3:39:57] without the water

[3:40:00] i used to have to get the guys from

[3:40:04] maintenance to come over and move it up

[3:40:06] and down

[3:40:07] i'm not personal

[3:40:11] so and look i mean the road guys

[3:40:14] huh i think it'd be tough to find

[3:40:16] someone in the building i know disabled

[3:40:19] i mean it's not like i'm going to be

[3:40:21] doing it all the time

[3:40:24] i can use the mop

[3:40:27] i can use the mop on the landings it's

[3:40:29] no big deal i mean

[3:40:33] any other discussion on this

[3:40:40] would be budget for that then do you

[3:40:41] remember

[3:41:06] what do you think ted

[3:41:56] bring it on advocating

[3:41:58] um they told me that i'm no longer

[3:42:00] eligible for that for like six weeks

[3:42:03] because they don't want to put me under

[3:42:05] because they don't know what the copic

[3:42:06] would do with my lungs which i have

[3:42:08] really bad ones anyways so

[3:42:11] um

[3:43:24] that's that's just me but it's a lot

[3:43:26] nicer to be able to get out and walk

[3:43:29] when it's warm

[3:43:31] ice is the sun
