[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

[27:56] she is back
[27:58] so i don't think she'll take leave again
[28:00] for

[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

[29:41] 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

[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
[1:02:51] okay

[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
[2:58:41] you they don't go to mass no it's that
[2:58:43] type
[2:58:44] um yeah just looking forward to trying
[2:58:47] to be able to stay away from people
[2:58:52] i'm going to fan pants benefits

[3:33:24] unpaid

[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
[3:41:09] i think we get the one that the lady
[3:41:11] wants

[3:41:53] when i was supposed to get my leg off
[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
[3:42:12] i didn't want to use all my
[3:42:15] vacation pay and sick leave that i was
[3:42:17] going to use

[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
[3:43:32] so
