00:00:55,920 --> 00:01:01,700
will call on the gunner if he will to

10
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:17,130
the United States of America and to the

thank you sir

13
00:01:28,409 --> 00:01:40,420
this being would be talking about this
later on but first of all let me just

14
00:01:35,380 --> 00:01:44,409
save publicly that we're using a certain
number it's the health department's

15
00:01:42,070 --> 00:01:49,090
hotline number or anyone who wants to
call in ask questions or seek

16
00:01:46,149 --> 00:01:56,049
information so you can give a call two
four eight eight three one nine eight if

17
00:01:54,070 --> 00:02:01,450
they cannot answer the question you have
or the information you seek that call

18
00:01:58,450 --> 00:02:05,560
will then be referred to the people that
need to receive it and get you the

19
00:02:03,460 --> 00:02:10,810
information that we want you to know
that we're concerned about your

20
00:02:07,750 --> 00:02:20,760
questions and now you have a hotline
number on which to call thank you on

21
00:02:17,380 --> 00:02:28,480
these meetings we do not have a an
agenda rightfully so I think because we

22
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:36,790
need to discuss a lot of stuff I want to
tell the public something that has

23
00:02:32,140 --> 00:02:42,840
happened I mean nothing serious but I
want people to understand that when the

24
00:02:39,250 --> 00:02:50,380
governor issued the state of emergency
for the state it kicked in to effect

25
00:02:46,390 --> 00:02:55,420
some new laws one of those laws is that
it set in motion

26
00:02:51,880 --> 00:03:02,650
our emergency team and our emergency
team which only advises us as

27
00:03:00,010 --> 00:03:09,579
commissioners but there on top of this
simply because they live it 24/7 and

28
00:03:06,850 --> 00:03:15,459
that's our Health Department our EMS
department our manager and our Sheriff's

29
00:03:12,910 --> 00:03:20,530
Department so that would be considered
that your emergency team at this

30
00:03:18,100 --> 00:03:24,300
particular point so if you have
questions call that hotline number but

31
00:03:23,769 --> 00:03:29,610
we will
sure that all of our management

32
00:03:26,310 --> 00:03:35,520
emergency team are in place and we trust
their judgment and they advise us so if

that we can provide you with the

36
00:03:51,480 --> 00:04:05,640
information you need what we will do at
this particular point is hear from David

00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:15,800

as well there have been approximately
15,000 300 lives completed and there are

00:05:05,550 --> 00:05:15,720
over 15,000 labs still pending with that
our labs they said anywhere from three

48
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:20,460
to five days it is taking at least a
week to get those lab results back for

49
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:26,880
those that are being tested in Swain
County the mic Sprayberry there the MC

53
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:48,680
say that the White House granted
governor Roy Cooper's request late

assistance to all 100 North Carolina
counties allowing local government state

57
00:05:59,490 --> 00:06:08,430
agencies and eligible nonprofits to be

58
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:17,750
responding to the outbreak of code 19 as
it updates today we did email visit call

we also sent that information to e BCI

60
00:06:20,550 --> 00:06:30,350
as well we are waiting on approximately
probably anywhere from five to ten labs

61
00:06:28,140 --> 00:06:35,760
to come back currently for Saline County
we were notified this morning we do have

62
00:06:33,330 --> 00:06:41,520
a positive in our County it is a
part-time resident they have been

63
00:06:38,490 --> 00:06:45,240
isolated since symptoms appeared and
then they were tested and went back home

64
00:06:43,020 --> 00:06:51,030
and they have not left their home since
then would you say that we're back home

65
00:06:48,780 --> 00:06:53,640
they went back home to their state no
sir they went back where they were here

66
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:56,540
in Swain County
ok thank you

67
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:04,129
any questions commissioners

68
00:07:06,300 --> 00:07:16,349
I had that person traveled out of it
let's assume they were infected out of

69
00:07:13,349 --> 00:07:21,120
the county do you know that information
I do not know that information they did

70
00:07:18,419 --> 00:07:24,720
travel here from another state and then
upon arriving here in the County started

71
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:29,690
to show symptoms and then they were
tested you know how long they had been

72
00:07:27,300 --> 00:07:29,690
here

73
00:07:40,629 --> 00:07:48,550
mr. Chairman I have a question
show.allison when you called the lodging

74
00:07:46,679 --> 00:07:52,929
establishments and around in our County
what was their reaction to your home I

75
00:07:50,860 --> 00:07:59,469
guess I'm trying to get a sense of
community of cooperation or there was

76
00:07:57,189 --> 00:08:09,399
cooperation at my environment Holt staff
did the majority of it and they didn't

77
00:08:01,629 --> 00:08:13,119
have any pushback yeah I have to talk to
you a lot pretty much most doesn't they

78
00:08:11,499 --> 00:08:18,309
all called me things like that next day
and they were very corrupt it's about

79
00:08:16,539 --> 00:08:27,459
trying to get people out of their cabins
when I talk to like different captain

80
00:08:21,129 --> 00:08:33,550
rental places I just have one more
question and it's about testing who what

81
00:08:31,719 --> 00:08:41,440
when and where
I think the CDC and some of the National

82
00:08:38,050 --> 00:08:49,689
people are saying if you don't feel like
it don't get tested just stay home

83
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:56,500
hunker down but my question is are there
a central people who really ought to be

84
00:08:53,079 --> 00:08:59,860
seeking a test and I'm I'm sitting here
thinking about the sheriff actually and

85
00:08:58,420 --> 00:09:06,959
some of the other people who will be
working within for the safety of the

86
00:09:01,959 --> 00:09:15,329
county I think in that in that aspect
the they're asking that health care

87
00:09:10,029 --> 00:09:15,329
workers be tested past that

88
00:09:16,740 --> 00:09:24,270
CDC issued some guidance and they have a
priority list we haven't shared that on

89
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:28,709
our Facebook page but I know that Green
County did share it on theirs and it is

90
00:09:26,610 --> 00:09:33,959
health care workers and those who are
taking care of sick individuals that may

91
00:09:30,630 --> 00:09:37,860
have become sick themselves and those
that have been exposed because there's

92
00:09:35,550 --> 00:09:41,790
really not anything that you do
differently once you have that test

93
00:09:39,750 --> 00:09:45,959
other than if it is a health care worker
then obviously they wouldn't be working

94
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:49,820
and I would assume we're not making an
assumption here and that's always

95
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:57,870
dangerous but I would assume that also
people working with within senior

96
00:09:52,620 --> 00:10:02,820
citizen communities such as Mountain
View that kind of stuff but you're still

97
00:09:59,910 --> 00:10:11,339
talking about health care workers so uh
okay but I was just wondering and again

98
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:18,750
it's to kind of calm the waters and not
issue panic but simply saying you know

99
00:10:14,670 --> 00:10:24,540
those who need to be worked with are
being worked with as far as the Health

100
00:10:20,550 --> 00:10:29,040
Department instance ah yes like Allison
said the test results are taken a week

101
00:10:26,490 --> 00:10:33,810
to come back and so by the time you get
it you should have been isolated anyway

102
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:38,420
so regardless of whether your tests are
not the recommendation is that if you

103
00:10:35,970 --> 00:10:42,560
feel ill you isolate yourself and
there's no need to be

104
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:48,220
to never see the doctor unless you get a
6 ok thank you thank you

105
00:10:49,790 --> 00:10:56,850
the only thing I have to announce is of
course you can call 2-1-1 to get

106
00:10:54,149 --> 00:11:01,589
information for food assistance paying
your rent utilities and basic

107
00:10:58,500 --> 00:11:11,700
information or you can text kovat and
see at 8 - or excuse me at 8 9 8 - 1 1

108
00:11:05,850 --> 00:11:18,209
to get regular updates by text is that
totally - 19 or is that just covert 19

109
00:11:14,459 --> 00:11:21,529
it's a bit nc okay I said nothing but
it's okay so we didn't see

110
00:11:21,650 --> 00:11:24,820
[Applause]

111
00:11:32,269 --> 00:11:35,480
thank you

112
00:11:41,130 --> 00:11:49,080
so since the warden was in place on
Monday we've received numerous calls

113
00:11:46,820 --> 00:11:54,660
we've tried to respond to each of those
calls you know a common sense method

114
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:59,630
manner to to make them the criteria the
order Sheriff's Department yesterday

115
00:11:57,090 --> 00:12:08,070
started doing the spot checks I'll
cabins nicer if you were to do that

116
00:12:02,010 --> 00:12:14,910
they're just a little up they don't what
we have done since the declaration came

117
00:12:10,620 --> 00:12:20,100
out we we've checked a lot of cabins by
far there's a lot of cooperation by

118
00:12:17,700 --> 00:12:23,340
folks but there's always that little
number that's going to try to skirt

119
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:31,530
around that declaration and they're
using the 30-day rental to try to do it

120
00:12:28,550 --> 00:12:35,130
yesterday we I didn't know this when we
had our emergency meeting yesterday so

121
00:12:33,330 --> 00:12:40,070
we were going to come back through all
the data we didn't have any more

122
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:47,540
recommendations but I do have one is to
amend the declaration to say that no

123
00:12:44,700 --> 00:12:55,070
rentals be on the date of the
declaration that that will eliminate

124
00:12:51,360 --> 00:13:01,830
that skirting around that that 30-day
clause in the declaration Locke said our

125
00:12:59,880 --> 00:13:09,300
officers have been out
Winston yesterday we're going out again

126
00:13:03,780 --> 00:13:14,940
today we're gonna be checking we've told
them what was going to be back spot

127
00:13:10,500 --> 00:13:18,480
check and so far so good what what
brought on my recommendation to you

128
00:13:16,470 --> 00:13:24,930
though today I personally talked to one
of those rental agencies they've got

129
00:13:21,870 --> 00:13:29,970
their doors closed and but they had a
service number a customer service number

130
00:13:26,820 --> 00:13:34,410
on the door to call so I called and told
the lady that you know we were just

131
00:13:32,340 --> 00:13:40,170
checking to make sure that there was
there's renters were gone and she said

132
00:13:38,490 --> 00:13:44,940
well they are but we're gonna we're
gonna start the 30-day rental so that

133
00:13:43,020 --> 00:13:51,170
that's one against the spirit of the
Declaration

134
00:13:46,970 --> 00:14:01,649
just on another note we've checked
ingles IgA Bojangles Burger King and

135
00:13:57,629 --> 00:14:07,170
McDonald's early in the morning 7:00
7:30 8 o'clock and at those times there

136
00:14:04,769 --> 00:14:11,490
no out-of-state cars in any of those
businesses they're all North Carolina

137
00:14:09,809 --> 00:14:17,699
tags now that doesn't mean they're all
Swain County residents it could be here

138
00:14:13,680 --> 00:14:21,269
from somewhere else but the declaration
is working if this one takes a little

139
00:14:19,829 --> 00:14:27,059
time to get a full effect
but I'm again I'm gonna recommend that

140
00:14:23,519 --> 00:14:33,410
y'all go back and amend that 30-day
clause so we can can nip it in the bud

141
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:33,410
as Barney five steps

142
00:14:40,260 --> 00:14:46,740
gentlemen let's go ahead no twisters go
ahead I'm sorry go ahead

143
00:14:44,210 --> 00:14:52,410
I'll also enter what the sheriff said I
do feel that the woman that is in place

144
00:14:49,470 --> 00:14:57,390
Mundy is working for Spokane I feel like
we've lesson to travel which is why the

145
00:14:55,380 --> 00:15:02,600
goal was in the beginning so I think
that is a really big picture working

146
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:09,870
with state emergency management to
nuclear regional and statewide effort

147
00:15:05,100 --> 00:15:16,710
there's a big plan being built for
hospital surgery one estimate and we

148
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:20,760
hope this is a highest is that that we
have 50% hospitals search which means it

149
00:15:19,500 --> 00:15:27,030
possible is a hundred natives
they'll need another feast again we hope

150
00:15:24,420 --> 00:15:32,670
that's the highest but we're working
with state and regional partners looking

151
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:37,980
at sites to sit up search hospitals
should those be necessary the state has

152
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:42,270
a volunteer hotline open I'm sorry I
don't have that number with me but I'll

153
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:47,430
furnish that along to your hot line open

David and I also I know that there are

159
00:16:12,390 --> 00:16:20,460
people out there who want to volunteer

160
00:16:17,430 --> 00:16:26,760
send to you after this meeting who is
offering his services to volunteer and

161
00:16:23,490 --> 00:16:30,630
we've had others and I don't know if you
have you can assure them that they will

162
00:16:28,710 --> 00:16:36,420
be placed on that list or you know this
when needed call them yes the other

163
00:16:34,020 --> 00:16:38,699
thing we're doing locally is we're like
working

164
00:16:37,170 --> 00:16:43,350
hopefully we'll have it operational by
Monday we're looking to sit at the food

165
00:16:40,319 --> 00:16:47,399
donation side we're looking to have a
Family Resource Center someone who has

166
00:16:45,959 --> 00:16:51,239
extra food there's a little bit purchase
extra food to drop off they will

167
00:16:49,559 --> 00:16:58,230
distribute it as they did throughout the
county to people that world make of it

168
00:16:55,350 --> 00:17:05,490
they hopefully will have that
operational above them that day okay

169
00:16:59,790 --> 00:17:13,679
good regarding the food pantry and in
Burke County it appears that some are

170
00:17:12,149 --> 00:17:17,939
trying to work with us and let some of
the people who might call in Lois Lane

171
00:17:16,559 --> 00:17:25,439
County because they're not on the
reservation to get to the food pantry

172
00:17:21,949 --> 00:17:30,779
but I think that that Avenue is going to
be shut down so I'm going to get with

173
00:17:28,049 --> 00:17:35,639
you and let you just make some enquiries
and see where we are with that so we can

174
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:41,850
advise our citizens who may be trying to
get up in that area and work with the

175
00:17:37,950 --> 00:17:47,309
food pantry itself they're a church so
work with the food pantry themselves and

176
00:17:44,519 --> 00:17:53,519
maybe getting some south into Swain
County where how when what needs to be

177
00:17:50,970 --> 00:18:00,539
all worked out so I'm just advising you
that that that may come down the pike as

178
00:17:55,679 --> 00:18:04,889
well and tag along - what - amber was
saying about health care workers the EMS

179
00:18:03,269 --> 00:18:11,100
staff have been advised if they have
well to do daily particular if they've

180
00:18:08,159 --> 00:18:16,620
been exposed theft checks on temperature
and any other symptoms I'm also told

181
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:21,510
that's working with Mountain View Manor
that as their staff comes to work most

182
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:26,370
of those are tested for temp tear and
spring with questions is that kind of

183
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:33,149
working stuff so that we can keep those
folks such an exposure the EMS would be

184
00:18:30,510 --> 00:18:35,600
an exposure where the paramedic didn't
have on

185
00:18:33,650 --> 00:18:40,220
protective equipment come upon someone
unexpectedly they sneaked in his face or

186
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:45,770
something like that if they're wearing
the protective equipment mask say she

187
00:18:43,790 --> 00:18:51,170
will blows again then that's not
exposure they consider protecting them

188
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:58,250
so that each day their xsf monitor Tim
cure any other conditions they might

189
00:18:52,940 --> 00:19:03,620
have other places relatives what do you
personally do use your department

190
00:19:00,020 --> 00:19:11,930
personally have enough equipment and and
masks and gowns and stuff we have about

191
00:19:08,390 --> 00:19:15,830
a two-week supply I spoke with the state
officials yesterday part of this

192
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:20,300
disaster declaration by the gunroom of
the state allows us to go directly to

193
00:19:17,540 --> 00:19:25,850
state to work immediately supplies and
the state can go to the federal

194
00:19:21,650 --> 00:19:28,940
government there is a supply being held
for EMS use and for a hospital use and

195
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:32,690
that kind of thing
should we get the point where they have

196
00:19:30,470 --> 00:19:36,170
to start distributing there's supposed
to be a million masks to do people

197
00:19:34,670 --> 00:19:42,080
Carolina sometime this will equal to
first next week so we should alleviate

198
00:19:39,020 --> 00:19:47,930
Assembly's problems at that point the
other thing the decoration gives the

199
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:54,110
county is the option of the absolutely
option of any overtime in the extra cost

200
00:19:51,050 --> 00:20:01,910
incurred any purchasing events directly
related to this - that's what the code

201
00:19:59,900 --> 00:20:07,160
of assistance part that Allison was
talking about whether that's the systems

202
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:12,260
to local government agencies so early on
we asked the finest department start

203
00:20:08,810 --> 00:20:15,080
tracking purchases then and also start
writing overtime costs so at the end of

204
00:20:14,900 --> 00:20:22,309
the
I'll report federal government hopefully

205
00:20:18,019 --> 00:20:28,239
recruit something okay well then I think
that one of the reasons as you all know

206
00:20:25,159 --> 00:20:34,580
David that that this board agreed to the
state of emergency declaration was

207
00:20:31,549 --> 00:20:38,389
simply because the third section of it
at the third part of it was that we

208
00:20:36,230 --> 00:20:42,830
could get reimbursed for some of our
expenses without that signed declaration

209
00:20:40,429 --> 00:20:46,970
we can we would not be entitled to that
kind of thing so yes sir that's correct

210
00:20:44,509 --> 00:20:51,590
and when the president Truong approved
the governor's request yesterday for a

211
00:20:48,919 --> 00:20:58,519
federal disaster declaration that put
all that place we were really excited

212
00:20:53,690 --> 00:21:09,519
that you and and we hope that gave
either tools necessary to do just that

213
00:21:01,929 --> 00:21:09,519
okay so yeah okay thank you thank you

214
00:21:10,130 --> 00:21:25,710
anything else david from your team you
and okay so as you heard from the

215
00:21:22,470 --> 00:21:31,169
sheriff one of the items that the team
is requesting would be to amend the

216
00:21:28,169 --> 00:21:37,460
supplement first supplemental local
declaration of emergency to become

217
00:21:33,299 --> 00:21:42,480
effective the date so as of that date
established that they're only if you

218
00:21:39,870 --> 00:21:48,480
were in a 30-day rental program as of
that date then county you qualified but

219
00:21:46,470 --> 00:21:53,309
it but if not if you just if it's after
that then it would not and so that would

220
00:21:51,299 --> 00:21:57,799
be i would need that in like a form of a
motion and it will amend that document

221
00:21:55,799 --> 00:22:05,070
and have you resigned
okay let's back up for just a second on

222
00:22:00,630 --> 00:22:12,210
the sheriff's recommendation that this
amendment happened i just want people to

223
00:22:08,309 --> 00:22:16,289
understand how this verse with us we've
got a team in place and that team was

224
00:22:14,669 --> 00:22:22,980
put in place by the emergency
declaration by the governor and so we

225
00:22:20,100 --> 00:22:27,000
take your recommendations seriously we
still have to pass it as board of

226
00:22:24,630 --> 00:22:33,840
commissioners and usurping our authority
they are simply providing us with their

227
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:38,159
basic knowledge of the county and what
will better serve the county and so i

228
00:22:35,700 --> 00:22:45,510
think we need to listen to it hear it
and move with it so that the manager

229
00:22:43,289 --> 00:22:52,530
also making it thank you sure with the
manager also making that recommendation

230
00:22:48,110 --> 00:22:55,679
do you have a an amended document in
front of you but that needs to be

231
00:22:53,940 --> 00:22:57,390
amended as i'm understanding that's
correct

232
00:22:56,220 --> 00:23:03,950
so what you have in front of these
different the first one is just an

233
00:23:00,510 --> 00:23:08,010
amendment and we can do that by a motion
and then we'll get an updated copy to

234
00:23:06,750 --> 00:23:11,529
you this is kind of something that
happened this morning

235
00:23:09,159 --> 00:23:17,169
didn't have time to amend actual fur
first one so but we'll get a updated

236
00:23:14,499 --> 00:23:24,159
copy to you but we can do it by motion
just stating that that became on the

237
00:23:19,869 --> 00:23:29,739
seventh day 17th day of March I'm sorry
it was Monday

238
00:23:25,989 --> 00:23:35,820
this past Monday sorry so we'll amend
that one to establish that that was the

239
00:23:32,259 --> 00:23:42,669
day that they had to be engaged in the
30-day rental program as of that day

240
00:23:39,940 --> 00:23:47,259
they had to be in a rental program for
otherwise as the share pointed out

241
00:23:45,009 --> 00:23:52,989
whereas succinctly they were trying to
get around the desk correct by adding

242
00:23:50,200 --> 00:24:00,330
now on to that rental to make it a
30-day Creek commissioners any questions

243
00:23:58,149 --> 00:24:00,330
on that

244
00:24:02,870 --> 00:24:13,190
hearing no questions I will entertain a
motion if you would like to add this

245
00:24:07,670 --> 00:24:17,450
addendum to the declaration mr. chairman
I'd like to add a member to the

246
00:24:15,110 --> 00:24:23,110
decoration that is I guess the date
would be Monday the 3:23 as of that date

247
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:34,070
we're using that date right as the point
of 30-day rambles if you were not a

248
00:24:31,190 --> 00:24:40,790
30-day rental on that date you're not a
30-day ring in other words they cannot

249
00:24:36,410 --> 00:24:46,130
go in even if they post dated or
predated the agreement and it's a good

250
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:54,400
question that just popped into my mind
sheriff how do we how do we account for

251
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:59,930
that if they if they landowner were to
if I were to sit down with someone today

252
00:24:56,750 --> 00:25:06,590
and wrote the 23rd in on the rental
agreement is there any way to do it

253
00:25:04,670 --> 00:25:11,660
would take a lot of vigilance on our
part to make sure that those people that

254
00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:15,770
we had saw I'm here
see what we can yeah I mean we're going

255
00:25:13,430 --> 00:25:21,680
to question those people and find out
exactly what they they did sign that

256
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:25,310
agreement and then you know chips fall
where they follow that plan okay very

257
00:25:23,810 --> 00:25:29,330
good thank you
that was just clarification we have a

258
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:34,820
motion on the floor to accept the
amendment as recommended by the chair

259
00:25:31,460 --> 00:25:46,690
and also the county manager that the
actual start date of any rental will be

260
00:25:39,460 --> 00:25:52,700
March the 23rd 3rd 2020 I need a second
second okay we have a motion in a second

261
00:25:49,520 --> 00:26:04,210
on the floor to accept this amendment to
the to the policy statement any

262
00:26:00,050 --> 00:26:04,210
questions regarding that from anyone

263
00:26:04,270 --> 00:26:13,360
all those in favor of this raise your
right hand

264
00:26:09,580 --> 00:26:13,360
okay pass unanimously

265
00:26:16,090 --> 00:26:26,390
okay anything else we've got a couple
folks I think for public comment oh okay

266
00:26:24,380 --> 00:26:32,330
do we have anything else right now
we have one of the documents that we

267
00:26:28,700 --> 00:26:37,160
want to share with you this is an
additional supplemental declaration of a

268
00:26:35,060 --> 00:26:42,410
local state of emergency it's in
addition to the one on the 23rd it's

269
00:26:40,340 --> 00:26:47,810
just for your consideration at
yesterday's meeting we really didn't

270
00:26:44,060 --> 00:26:54,350
discuss this particular document but in
a lot of some other information that we

271
00:26:50,780 --> 00:27:02,290
received last evening we had Kim Lee Kim
carpenter our county attorney cracked

272
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:06,950
this and it basically this defines what
essential services are so a lot of

273
00:27:05,300 --> 00:27:12,320
definitions even though it's a large
document it kind of really good in depth

274
00:27:08,870 --> 00:27:20,510
about what essential services are what
can and can't be done during a stay home

275
00:27:16,370 --> 00:27:26,030
stay safe declaration like this I can
read the top top piece for the benefit

276
00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:30,050

00:27:40,730 --> 00:27:46,640

businesses and governmental services

281
00:27:44,590 --> 00:27:50,300
restricting all businesses and
governmental agencies to ceased

282
00:27:48,020 --> 00:27:54,380
non-essential operations requiring
public mobility within the locations

283
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:59,660

non-essential gatherings of individuals

284
00:27:56,360 --> 00:28:06,740

centers manufacturing distribution
supply chain and funeral services so

300
00:29:29,890 --> 00:29:41,370
coming real it goes in-depth and they
each one of those categories are defined

301
00:29:33,850 --> 00:29:41,370
on exactly what those entail this was

302
00:29:41,610 --> 00:29:48,970
it's a combination of a lot of different
best practices throughout the state

303
00:29:45,820 --> 00:29:58,270
there's about 15 entities throughout the
state currently that have a a shelter in

304
00:29:52,960 --> 00:30:03,460
place or state homes stay safe document
and so it's it's really taken from a lot

305
00:30:01,270 --> 00:30:08,290
of those different ones and putting it
that's gonna best fit swing county and

306
00:30:06,490 --> 00:30:13,090
so that's that's what this document does
if this is a supplemental to the one

307
00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:18,430
that you did on the 23rd and it's
basically just widely more defined with

308
00:30:15,130 --> 00:30:25,890
so we're bringing that to the board for
your consideration at this point and

309
00:30:23,070 --> 00:30:35,700
and I'm about any other any other group
to talk about it the need for it so do

310
00:30:33,810 --> 00:30:45,000
you think it's self-explanatory David is
that what to the county attorney crafted

311
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:49,380
this document last night and I've read
through a little bit okay

312
00:30:46,940 --> 00:30:54,360
it looks very similar to what Haywood
County put in place this place there's

313
00:30:51,300 --> 00:30:59,610
very few changes the hay weekend it
allows for people to dinner in most

314
00:30:57,240 --> 00:31:04,410
trades most businesses most
organizations to continue to work it

315
00:31:02,430 --> 00:31:09,900
allows full access for all citizens to
go get groceries medicines supplies at

316
00:31:07,770 --> 00:31:14,960
hardware store construction items to
build houses with it allows all that as

317
00:31:13,410 --> 00:31:20,640
in able to canvas
there's not a lot of difference in this

318
00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:26,030
over than what raksi doing now it just
puts if you want a youth into it it's

319
00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:36,300
going to increase the sheriff's
unfortunately case load and he probably

320
00:31:29,490 --> 00:31:41,580
hopes to address that up sure so this
order is probably a good thing and I

321
00:31:38,790 --> 00:31:47,000
just say that based on when this
emergency is over did we do all we can

322
00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:47,000
do for slinky

323
00:31:48,940 --> 00:31:54,549
so essentially this is a stay home stay
safe order

324
00:31:52,299 --> 00:31:59,710
this is stay home sites they say forward
with enough exceptions for we can still

325
00:31:57,099 --> 00:32:05,679
fully function as the government as
families at home what exactly is a

326
00:32:03,609 --> 00:32:11,139
change that's in this then what we're
doing now just more people is gonna call

327
00:32:09,580 --> 00:32:15,070
the Sheriff's Department and tell them
to give checked out these people that's

328
00:32:12,879 --> 00:32:22,779
exactly what I read it pretty much lets
anybody work still go to work and it

329
00:32:19,450 --> 00:32:28,570
just recommends that they stay home if
they can and we're already doing that or

330
00:32:26,340 --> 00:32:32,710
recommending their buddy to stay home if
they can

331
00:32:29,049 --> 00:32:39,129
cuz as far as what I read like you said
construction workers can work businesses

332
00:32:36,070 --> 00:32:43,570
can work what restrictions would it
actually change that we're not what

333
00:32:41,649 --> 00:32:49,690
businesses are we actually talking about
that it would change it defines it more

334
00:32:46,599 --> 00:32:56,109
one that I know you've received a I
think I sent you a a communication from

335
00:32:51,879 --> 00:33:00,759
the Realtors Association they are not a
part of this so there you are not an

336
00:32:58,539 --> 00:33:10,029
essential service at this point because
they're bringing in people possibly from

337
00:33:03,279 --> 00:33:13,299
out of town that correct and so so
anyway they are not a part of the

338
00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:18,580
professional services so that's one one
category that you were probably hearing

339
00:33:15,970 --> 00:33:23,349
from but they are bringing in we've
witnessed it bring him foot from out of

340
00:33:21,009 --> 00:33:27,149
town even during this during this crisis
that are looking at houses in our

341
00:33:24,909 --> 00:33:32,139
community that are from out of state and
so with that being said that's why we

342
00:33:30,669 --> 00:33:38,169
eliminate it from the provisional
services that that segment of business

343
00:33:35,739 --> 00:33:43,440
Realtors would be able to show houses
virtually all the class show pictures

344
00:33:40,659 --> 00:33:48,509
show videos you know like
function everything except the place to

345
00:33:45,659 --> 00:33:53,370
face talk face to face but should
already be covered too because they

346
00:33:51,629 --> 00:33:58,159
should be able to work at home and it's
so there's anybody who can work at home

347
00:33:55,549 --> 00:34:02,370
so it should be covered about
recommending that they work at home and

348
00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:06,720
not bring anybody else here that they
don't have to from another state correct

349
00:34:04,500 --> 00:34:12,440
this document basically just defined
more about what is essential and what is

350
00:34:09,119 --> 00:34:17,639
not essential during this time of crisis
is there any more groups besides just

351
00:34:15,149 --> 00:34:21,329
realtors dude that's the one that kind
of jumps out at me on on the page and

352
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:26,010
that's what a lot of kind of government
said North Carolina have I've kind of

353
00:34:22,829 --> 00:34:29,909
dabble around that I think that certain
governments have left them in as a

354
00:34:28,050 --> 00:34:33,629
professional service some of them have
taken them out for that particular

355
00:34:31,470 --> 00:34:40,230
reason that most of the folks that are
coming in or out of state and you don't

356
00:34:38,790 --> 00:34:44,129
know where they're coming from and and
what they're bringing with them so that

357
00:34:42,389 --> 00:34:52,319
was why that the majority of the county
to lift them out of the essential

358
00:34:46,919 --> 00:35:00,089
services but it does not make any sense
to me if they're gonna be bringing

359
00:34:54,089 --> 00:35:05,119
people in from out of county to even
have the rest of the staff

360
00:35:27,710 --> 00:35:42,840
retail spaces in town not restaurants
but no try to get lots and lots of what

361
00:35:39,420 --> 00:35:49,040
I believe most out of I'll re closed but
what does this order me I think of a

362
00:35:46,170 --> 00:35:55,170
banner needs to be I mean you could make
you could probably make a a stretcher I

363
00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:59,870
mean can be that it would be for
household members or delivery of those

364
00:35:57,690 --> 00:36:08,550
services or supplies to others such as
let's see groceries household consumer

365
00:36:02,820 --> 00:36:17,670
products so they wouldn't have to close
this with the I read doesn't really

366
00:36:12,510 --> 00:36:23,150
close anything but anything for the
folks that are here great and and let me

367
00:36:20,910 --> 00:36:32,730
ask a question and this goes back to
David and share if we were going to send

368
00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:38,340
into place this kind of thing who would
appear to me that the buildings that

369
00:36:34,770 --> 00:36:45,990
were begun on March 23rd should be
allowed to complete but no new bill why

370
00:36:43,170 --> 00:36:54,810
are we why are we leaving that gap there
I think this order allows construction

371
00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:58,319
to continue as these new buildings could
be constructed buildings could be

372
00:36:56,820 --> 00:37:04,160
completed that are
right I understand that David but I'm

373
00:37:00,630 --> 00:37:13,170
saying we set on the renters we said
Monday as the beginning of the how do

374
00:37:10,589 --> 00:37:19,829
they get how do we make sure that new
visit new buildings are not approved

375
00:37:16,999 --> 00:37:26,509
new buildings are not approved as of the
23rd and so they can bring in if if they

376
00:37:24,209 --> 00:37:34,349
get building permits they can bring in
workers to do the to do the job

377
00:37:29,609 --> 00:37:41,759
necessary to me this is a loophole that
people can look at and find and you know

378
00:37:38,119 --> 00:37:47,759
we're not doing anything about the stay
at home stay safe order we're opening it

379
00:37:45,599 --> 00:37:52,410
up in my mind but I'm sorry go ahead
I didn't mean to interrupt the three or

380
00:37:50,069 --> 00:37:58,799
four of these that I have read they
would welcome part of making burgers and

381
00:37:55,469 --> 00:38:03,719
this one I'll allow for construction
trade workers to continue to come to the

382
00:38:00,989 --> 00:38:11,579
County and work in an effort to keep the
economy going like stopping construction

383
00:38:07,759 --> 00:38:17,380
that would take a large number of folks
that live in Saline County put them into

384
00:38:14,850 --> 00:38:23,320
so I think that's the reasoning that
that's left in the construction trades

385
00:38:20,470 --> 00:38:29,320
allowed to continue that you new
construction be allowed to start and

386
00:38:25,930 --> 00:38:33,820
continue we can keep construction
riddance once they're finished by the

387
00:38:31,330 --> 00:38:37,960
building permit process we can hold all
the commune oh there's two tickets and

388
00:38:35,620 --> 00:38:43,630
completion technically until this
emergency is over so that no one could

389
00:38:39,610 --> 00:38:49,000
occupy your house you know if there was
a need for that

390
00:38:45,900 --> 00:38:55,950
if their workers were coming from
counties around us to build these houses

391
00:38:52,000 --> 00:39:03,730
it's coming from counties around us
there is exposure possibility yes right

392
00:38:59,530 --> 00:39:08,410
there is an exposure is there any way
that we could suggest if we have people

393
00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:11,890
out of work in Swain County we don't
need to bring importing other people if

394
00:39:10,210 --> 00:39:17,500
they can do the job that needs to be
done and we have the people in Swain

395
00:39:14,110 --> 00:39:23,080
County so my question is is there any
way to suggest that they hire in County

396
00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:28,900
rather than importing workers in to
Swain County in order to complete these

397
00:39:24,940 --> 00:39:32,290
projects mr. singer besides you probably
could answer this better than I can but

398
00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:36,760
I would guess that the majority of the
home construction in Swain County is

399
00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:44,290
done by workers within the two three
County radius that are being built right

400
00:39:41,980 --> 00:39:50,650
now are built by local contractors who
are local people there may be some subs

401
00:39:47,650 --> 00:39:57,270
that come out Jackson County and Macon
County but it's not like an overwhelming

402
00:39:55,150 --> 00:40:02,690
a load of people that are coming in here
for base of houses but there are people

403
00:40:00,550 --> 00:40:07,190
coming in I hear what you're saying
a hundred percent there's no way to rule

404
00:40:05,720 --> 00:40:14,210
out a hundred percent of anything coming
in just County then why are we doing

405
00:40:08,869 --> 00:40:21,079
this and any part because we're trying
to protect the 99 percent of Kings equal

406
00:40:17,150 --> 00:40:26,630
work it's not true we're trying to keep
people working the can work and there's

407
00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:31,400
others can mean there's people in this
county works another campaign and we're

408
00:40:29,119 --> 00:40:35,750
still allowed to have pretty short
as of now we've got people living out

409
00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:40,640
this County going to other counties to
work so it would be the essential sign

410
00:40:38,630 --> 00:40:44,530
as you shut it down people coming into
same one's going on scum could get

411
00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:49,670
something bring back in so there's like
there's just like not a hundred percent

412
00:40:46,790 --> 00:40:53,480
foolproof plan to like it working
hundred percent back to ten not do it

413
00:40:51,560 --> 00:41:00,530
because you can't get the hundred
machine you still gotta be able to do it

414
00:40:56,210 --> 00:41:05,480
much of which in other counties I know
Haywood County's one of those that we

415
00:41:03,020 --> 00:41:09,829
did not put in here is if a county
resident from Haywood went somewhere for

416
00:41:08,210 --> 00:41:14,240
three days when they came back there had
self quarantine we didn't have any of

417
00:41:11,540 --> 00:41:18,800
that in as well and I think that goes
along with it so if somebody comes in to

418
00:41:17,390 --> 00:41:24,050
work they're gonna be leaving that same
day and it'll be easily with a three

419
00:41:22,099 --> 00:41:28,400
County area so I think that was a
minimal risk versus somebody that was

420
00:41:26,240 --> 00:41:32,420
heaven yeah that was going back to like
and I was neighbors I did not agree that

421
00:41:30,500 --> 00:41:37,250
three County
you know there's no three County limit

422
00:41:34,910 --> 00:41:40,250
but but normally if somebody's farther
than that they're going to be spend the

423
00:41:38,930 --> 00:41:46,369
night here and it would be the staying
in place order we've had several people

424
00:41:43,940 --> 00:41:49,880
come in there's a group up on let's
build houses on the worker they have

425
00:41:48,410 --> 00:41:53,750
out-of-state folks
building those they stay there staying

426
00:41:51,980 --> 00:41:59,630
in swing Kenny now they have been for
over several months and they ask for

427
00:41:56,480 --> 00:42:05,720
variances to stay at the at a local
hotel which we granted because that was

428
00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:10,190
at the first order the hotel that's
going in down the street they all their

429
00:42:08,060 --> 00:42:13,730
workers are from out of state they're
staying at a local hotel so a lot of

430
00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:18,170
different things like that so I think
the people that are from way far off

431
00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:22,460
that are in Swain County Building are
already here have already received you

432
00:42:20,660 --> 00:42:27,350
know bear insists to stay here this
order would say okay we can't leave you

433
00:42:26,060 --> 00:42:34,850
know if you're here you can't leave if
you do you know okay so so I guess what

434
00:42:32,450 --> 00:42:43,760
I'm getting at with all of this is
simply the March 23rd a date now if the

435
00:42:41,540 --> 00:42:50,570
people have been vetted before that and
are in the county working that's fine

436
00:42:46,550 --> 00:42:55,790
finish your job I don't I'm saying that
if they are building something and they

437
00:42:53,390 --> 00:43:03,050
lose workers because of this and were
they how do we replace those workers

438
00:43:00,340 --> 00:43:12,040
what kind of bidding goes on do they
come in and are they under a period of

439
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:18,110
time you know that they have to do that
the 14 days or you know you say I'm just

440
00:43:15,380 --> 00:43:22,070
kind of getting confused with all of
this wording going around and you know

441
00:43:20,480 --> 00:43:28,100
I'm just trying to get it to others
understood so the public can understand

442
00:43:25,870 --> 00:43:33,350
there's nothing in this document that
prohibit that that construction company

443
00:43:30,680 --> 00:43:38,510
from gathering other workers from other
parts of the state or the country to

444
00:43:36,110 --> 00:43:44,930
come in and work so that no it would not
do that because you're still you still

445
00:43:41,630 --> 00:43:48,950
have the potential to bring in people we
don't know what's going to take a place

446
00:43:46,940 --> 00:43:57,620
even if the pictures with just a second
even if the people came in and Alison's

447
00:43:52,970 --> 00:44:03,770
department said that you're under a 14
day quarantine limited or whatever they

448
00:44:01,580 --> 00:44:06,690
can only be on the jobsite they can't go
really anywhere else because they're

449
00:44:06,230 --> 00:44:11,880
under
quarantine and so it doesn't matter them

450
00:44:09,990 --> 00:44:16,170
we're from where they come well it does
but you know doesn't matter from where

451
00:44:13,650 --> 00:44:21,030
they come they would be immediately
placed under the quarantine they could

452
00:44:18,329 --> 00:44:25,170
go to work they can still work but that
quarantine I think is a very important

453
00:44:23,130 --> 00:44:30,270
part of this and in protecting our
citizens if indeed that's what we're

454
00:44:26,730 --> 00:44:37,010
saying we're trying to do the only thing
we could add to this is to limit the you

455
00:44:33,540 --> 00:44:43,650
know for if you want to put a two-week
moratorium on building permits we can

456
00:44:41,609 --> 00:44:50,910
you can look at doing that and that
would slow down the progression through

457
00:44:46,140 --> 00:44:57,630
this event Thank You Alison I do have a
question for you

458
00:44:52,319 --> 00:45:03,060
as we go into this and look at this is
there a possibility is it even possible

459
00:45:00,119 --> 00:45:08,670
to do such a quarantine on new workers
coming in who have not been bedded up to

460
00:45:05,460 --> 00:45:17,700
this point who are coming in after March
23rd they self quarantine or an issued

461
00:45:15,390 --> 00:45:19,970
quarantine is that even possible I don't
know

462
00:45:23,110 --> 00:45:30,160
I'm gonna say no one keeping track of
them and knowing who's coming into the

463
00:45:29,200 --> 00:45:34,180
county that would be virtually
impossible

464
00:45:31,540 --> 00:45:40,000
secondly the God it's now on quarantine
is somebody that's even positive for

465
00:45:36,910 --> 00:45:43,840
Kovac 19 their household is under
quarantine but they're only to

466
00:45:41,530 --> 00:45:49,210
self-monitor so they can still go out
and about in the community they don't

467
00:45:46,180 --> 00:45:55,060
have to stay home is what the new
guidance is now

468
00:45:50,710 --> 00:45:59,920
so if our citizens who may have been
exposed to Kovac 19 can go out and about

469
00:45:57,940 --> 00:46:04,170
in the county and did what they need to
do I'm not sure I can make an out of

470
00:46:02,290 --> 00:46:11,290
towner
something more stringent towards them I

471
00:46:06,810 --> 00:46:17,530
don't know that okay but again I don't
know how how we would do that it would

472
00:46:13,750 --> 00:46:21,460
appear to me that that the employer who
are bringing these people in would have

473
00:46:18,940 --> 00:46:26,710
to be in touch with you at the Health
Department just say they're bringing in

474
00:46:23,830 --> 00:46:32,800
new employees and to say that if they
self quarantine and quarantine is such a

475
00:46:30,100 --> 00:46:36,790
scary word anyway it's self monitor they
would self want to show themselves as

476
00:46:34,360 --> 00:46:42,070
work for fevers or respiratory problems
that's anything like that right so but

477
00:46:40,630 --> 00:46:48,310
it would appear to me that if the
Builder were concerned that they could

478
00:46:45,910 --> 00:46:52,330
work with you and when they bring in new
workers if they don't bring any new

479
00:46:49,600 --> 00:46:58,900
workers in a problem but when they bring
in new workers and new workers had no

480
00:46:56,890 --> 00:47:08,470
illnesses but still needed to stay
separate they're with their crews and

481
00:47:05,830 --> 00:47:13,750
I'm asking you because I don't know I
mean you know but it appears to me that

482
00:47:11,740 --> 00:47:20,110
something like that could be worked out
just for the new workers coming in

483
00:47:15,760 --> 00:47:23,590
been here working as a March 23rd that's
a possibility and even then I would

484
00:47:22,210 --> 00:47:29,170
actually refer it back to the building
department because they would know

485
00:47:26,250 --> 00:47:33,760
what's being bought and who's coming in
and what the contractors or who they're

486
00:47:30,940 --> 00:47:38,680
using more so than I would it would just
be on faith base for me if someone

487
00:47:35,560 --> 00:47:44,440
contacted me but Kevin and his office
would know but your resources and

488
00:47:41,560 --> 00:47:49,420
working with your resources that's what
I would hope you would do you know

489
00:47:47,170 --> 00:47:55,120
you've got you've got to the
coordinating build your team of trusted

490
00:47:52,510 --> 00:48:00,460
people and if that's the building
department it's the building department

491
00:47:56,260 --> 00:48:05,950
but to me the issue is the overarching
issue here is is there any way that we

492
00:48:03,610 --> 00:48:08,830
can build that and you do it any way you
do it anyway

493
00:48:07,060 --> 00:48:18,520
but is there any way that we can build
that just to ensure people ouais your

494
00:48:14,440 --> 00:48:26,410
people that we're kind of on top of that
I mean we can request that contractors

495
00:48:23,680 --> 00:48:33,670
notify us of anybody that's coming to
work from out of Rawson seedy swanky on

496
00:48:29,590 --> 00:48:39,190
the area we can do that as a voluntary
basis you can require it

497
00:48:37,030 --> 00:48:48,910
so that just depends on what action you
want to take okay but if we required it

498
00:48:42,780 --> 00:48:55,000
my question boils down to can you make
it happen we can we can pass it but can

499
00:48:53,110 --> 00:49:01,810
you make it happen once we do that
working with the building working with

500
00:48:58,240 --> 00:49:06,980
other people and just make the request
that they inform you if new work

501
00:49:03,830 --> 00:49:11,180
coming we can make a database of that of
people if the contractor will call us

502
00:49:08,690 --> 00:49:15,860
and notify us now when it goes past that
point that they do not notify us and

503
00:49:13,280 --> 00:49:20,630
you've required it then that goes to the
Sheriff's Department of the police

504
00:49:17,030 --> 00:49:23,810
department for citation because my
office would not be able to do that

505
00:49:21,980 --> 00:49:32,540
right I understand I understand what
your limitations are sheriff what's your

506
00:49:26,690 --> 00:49:39,920
take on that let me go back to the very
first about to stay home and stay safe

507
00:49:34,460 --> 00:49:47,360
okay I'm all for staying safe if you if
you all do issue a stay home slash stay

508
00:49:43,970 --> 00:49:51,800
safe it's going on a this way to love
these people that have no symptoms

509
00:49:49,460 --> 00:49:56,600
they're not ill they're not going to be
able to go to the drive-through they're

510
00:49:55,010 --> 00:50:02,150
not going to be able to carry out and
these businesses that are struggling

511
00:49:59,110 --> 00:50:07,700
they're gonna fail I mean there's babies
they're relying on on those people to

512
00:50:05,450 --> 00:50:13,670
frequent for business and bring money
here my opinion my opinion I agree with

513
00:50:11,900 --> 00:50:21,310
the stay safe and that's common sense
right and instead of making an a

514
00:50:18,020 --> 00:50:28,580
declaration you might want to consider
making a suggestion or recommendation

515
00:50:24,940 --> 00:50:32,870
without making it an order now takes a
lot of burden off with us all so that

516
00:50:30,560 --> 00:50:42,800
happens I mean we're gonna do our job
but you know first thing you're gonna

517
00:50:36,080 --> 00:50:47,520
overload wagon I agree with that one
thing so

518
00:50:44,810 --> 00:50:51,510
one of the things is food food beverage
in agriculture so they will be able to

519
00:50:49,260 --> 00:50:56,720
still go to the doctors just like they
are anyway pretty much yeah this all

520
00:50:53,940 --> 00:51:03,030
this order really does is define it more
and and exempt non-essential services

521
00:51:00,570 --> 00:51:07,500
which we've talked about the one that
kind of jumps out to me is the real

522
00:51:05,190 --> 00:51:14,280
estate but as far as everything else
it's pretty much exactly what it is now

523
00:51:10,560 --> 00:51:20,580
and it does encourage people to stay
home encourage people to do social

524
00:51:17,370 --> 00:51:26,300
distancing and be mindful of their
surroundings so that this basically just

525
00:51:23,010 --> 00:51:30,570
puts in paper I think what what's your
what message you want to convey you know

526
00:51:29,220 --> 00:51:35,730
we think it's best for you to stay home
we think it's best for if you do go out

527
00:51:32,850 --> 00:51:45,540
you can go here here here and you're
relatively you know as long as you have

528
00:51:39,930 --> 00:51:49,140
social distancing should be just our
recommendation so what is a

529
00:51:46,890 --> 00:51:58,080
recommendation but it's more of a you
know order at the same time where you

530
00:51:53,370 --> 00:52:01,890
have and like and want and people have a
certain level of security knowing that

531
00:52:00,210 --> 00:52:04,610
the government is looking out for their
best interests

532
00:52:06,060 --> 00:52:15,510
okay we have a motion in a second on the
floor it's time for thanks Sheriff Thank

533
00:52:11,340 --> 00:52:18,470
You Alison it's time for either further
discussion or

534
00:52:24,260 --> 00:52:34,140
that was the May 23rd orbits evening
March 23rd okay like this I haven't seen

535
00:52:32,460 --> 00:52:38,540
in there anywhere we're having a lot of
folks concerned about County buildings

536
00:52:39,470 --> 00:52:45,980
should that be a part of this if you
consider that if you look at

537
00:52:43,320 --> 00:52:52,290
non-essential services for governmental
part course they do they're pretty much

538
00:52:49,080 --> 00:52:57,150
bottled in to found with this order we
will be closing the courthouse functions

539
00:52:54,660 --> 00:53:04,730
which would be the tax office pressure
deeds and the DMV lots of played agency

540
00:53:01,850 --> 00:53:13,260
we don't know at this point how long
right now I would suggest at least 14

541
00:53:08,490 --> 00:53:17,390
days starting Monday this billing course
will be closed essential services are

542
00:53:15,360 --> 00:53:23,670
going to be your sanitation any public
you know public safety official quarter

543
00:53:20,910 --> 00:53:27,630
to me essential services the folks that
are in this building would be working in

544
00:53:25,530 --> 00:53:33,600
their office disclose to the public and
we will have our all the policies of

545
00:53:31,320 --> 00:53:38,970
protocols for social distancing put in
place with my have to do staggered you

546
00:53:36,360 --> 00:53:46,200
know staggered staffing to to help us
through this protective order so with

547
00:53:42,810 --> 00:53:51,690
that closing the tag office Francis
would you still allow a number on the

548
00:53:48,120 --> 00:53:55,830
door and people one person in to do
business at a time right we can look at

549
00:53:54,270 --> 00:54:01,260
different protocols whatever whatever
y'all would not really receive any

550
00:53:58,700 --> 00:54:04,680
notification from the DMV we are a
contractor for the DMV so we have to

551
00:54:03,450 --> 00:54:11,160
kind of go by some of their guidelines
and so we'll touch base with them to see

552
00:54:08,580 --> 00:54:14,440
if that would even be possible it may
just be need to be closed for two weeks

553
00:54:13,350 --> 00:54:19,690
and then Rio
but we will check with them first and

554
00:54:16,660 --> 00:54:22,990
give just to see but if that's a
possibility yes

555
00:54:20,740 --> 00:54:29,019
yeah and that was gonna be my question
as well I have received if someone says

556
00:54:27,490 --> 00:54:37,900
we got ten calls I wish I don't have
gotten ten calls but but the question

557
00:54:32,230 --> 00:54:43,240
was if they are a senior citizen have
other vulnerabilities and they don't

558
00:54:40,690 --> 00:54:53,230
want to come to town to renew their
vehicle what did they do so I guess my

559
00:54:49,210 --> 00:54:58,809
question is unless the state does it we
can't extend for them any time so the

560
00:54:57,069 --> 00:55:03,609
state would have to hand down hand that
down to us and with them as you're

561
00:55:01,690 --> 00:55:09,819
talking about the office but you know
all of the other stuff as well so yeah

562
00:55:06,250 --> 00:55:16,990
as far as policy goes we are just number
87 of the license plate agency or AOPA

563
00:55:13,420 --> 00:55:20,829
and we are a contractor just like a lot
of counties and and private businesses

564
00:55:19,089 --> 00:55:24,460
don't State North Carolina are so we got
to go by their policies and procedures

565
00:55:22,450 --> 00:55:28,380
the only thing we can do and in this
course of state of works that we can and

566
00:55:26,230 --> 00:55:33,819
probably close the office but as far as
you know going out to the public or big

567
00:55:31,329 --> 00:55:40,200
stuff by phone normally with that
particular office we have to have you

568
00:55:36,730 --> 00:55:45,720
know the title in hand face to face and
unfortunate that that's just the way the

569
00:55:42,400 --> 00:55:45,720
nature of that business

570
00:55:49,830 --> 00:55:52,830
anything

571
00:55:54,450 --> 00:55:57,200
anyway

572
00:55:58,550 --> 00:56:03,500
I've read through some of this just
skimming through it I thought you'd

573
00:56:02,180 --> 00:56:10,850
really pretty much legs out a lot of
stuff that we that it kind of puts words

574
00:56:07,730 --> 00:56:14,450
to thoughts because we don't I don't
know what essentially as you say

575
00:56:11,960 --> 00:56:18,800
essential it was kind of so I think this
is what this is doing I think we need to

576
00:56:16,730 --> 00:56:25,210
look at it I have an order and not just
a suggestion because I don't all kinds

577
00:56:22,520 --> 00:56:31,820
of suggestions but effect orders are
what we're here for

578
00:56:27,670 --> 00:56:36,110
we just suggest things that I don't know
if that's really got any backbone the

579
00:56:33,200 --> 00:56:39,170
teeth to it at all and that there won't
be a lot I don't think of people that'll

580
00:56:37,730 --> 00:56:45,470
be completely out of compliance with
this if they are they want to deal with

581
00:56:42,530 --> 00:56:50,300
it when we when we get there I think
it's just one of the things we don't

582
00:56:47,600 --> 00:56:57,670
know exactly what something is gonna
look like but bactine keep us from

583
00:56:53,600 --> 00:56:57,670
trying to do what we knows right

584
00:57:01,650 --> 00:57:11,849
since we're gonna have a motion in a
second on the floor like this that's the

585
00:57:05,069 --> 00:57:19,499
next step when we have not seen this so
we cannot act on today so would it carry

586
00:57:16,349 --> 00:57:25,829
over to the next meeting when we decide
to meet our next regular meeting or you

587
00:57:22,710 --> 00:57:31,079
can I know you've not seen it now and we
can take talent if you don't then go

588
00:57:27,599 --> 00:57:38,519
through each part of it since it is an
emergency document you can't act on it

589
00:57:34,079 --> 00:57:42,900
today or maybe an emergency document and
we could act on it today but I don't

590
00:57:41,190 --> 00:57:50,069
understand it and I don't want to act on
anything I don't know I

591
00:57:46,319 --> 00:57:55,819
you can call a meeting Monday if that's
what you prefer and and do it then or

592
00:57:53,609 --> 00:58:00,990
one day next week
and I've said that for myself let me ask

593
00:57:59,490 --> 00:58:07,019
the rest of the permission of the other
commissioners have their breathing aids

594
00:58:02,999 --> 00:58:11,099
on i'll miss Sherman I'll start if you
want me to on this side of the table

595
00:58:08,579 --> 00:58:16,259
this is the Supplemental declaration of
locals state emerge it has to do with

596
00:58:14,309 --> 00:58:20,099
restricting movement of all individuals
living within Swain County the town of

597
00:58:18,029 --> 00:58:25,559
Grasse City stay at their place risk
accepting someone goes on and then it

598
00:58:22,470 --> 00:58:30,749
explains what those are I don't
necessarily have an issue with that

599
00:58:27,239 --> 00:58:34,049
whatsoever in us passing that today and
then I would think that we would

600
00:58:32,069 --> 00:58:39,420
actually been to go ahead and meet again
early next week as well to continue to

601
00:58:36,930 --> 00:58:44,309
be updated and continue to see how
everything that we are putting into

602
00:58:41,160 --> 00:58:48,809
place is working this time to receive
concerns from citizens to turn over to

603
00:58:47,579 --> 00:58:54,630
the Sheriff's Department of Health
Department County government

604
00:58:51,420 --> 00:59:00,029
I for one myself think this just
explains what we're trying to do anyway

605
00:58:56,670 --> 00:59:06,410
so myself mr. Chairman I would be in
favor of going head and voting on this

606
00:59:02,759 --> 00:59:12,060
at this meeting this morning and
mr. commissioner if I may say we can

607
00:59:09,930 --> 00:59:16,830
come back if we run into problems and
amend it anyway so it's not really

608
00:59:14,790 --> 00:59:20,340
locked in or locks in
we can come back and amend it should

609
00:59:18,870 --> 00:59:24,420
that mean I think you're absolutely
correct we've already made an amendment

610
00:59:22,080 --> 00:59:30,090
for muddies meaning to this one and so
if we whatever day we choose next week

611
00:59:27,480 --> 00:59:33,390
Tuesday Monday Tuesday whatever the
first part of week we'll have three or

612
00:59:31,560 --> 00:59:41,130
four days here at two or three days too
however whatever they we choose to to

613
00:59:36,570 --> 00:59:45,780
reassess what we've done so I think it
shows a for me I think it shows the

614
00:59:43,980 --> 00:59:51,270
citizens we're working and trying to
stay on top of this I think by passing

615
00:59:48,570 --> 00:59:58,980
this supplemental declaration of
restriction of movement would be prudent

616
00:59:54,840 --> 01:00:05,730
for us to do that's my opinion also as
I'm speaking though it also understand

617
01:00:02,130 --> 01:00:15,150
it's there it is a class 2 misdemeanor
to violate these laws in a talk to

618
01:00:11,330 --> 01:00:21,060
sheriff Cochran and that goes on your
record and you pay a fine so we we that

619
01:00:18,810 --> 01:00:25,770
we want people to take this seriously as
well well and I think that that's a very

620
01:00:23,280 --> 01:00:31,080
good point commissioner that you've
raised we're not just sitting here

621
01:00:29,070 --> 01:00:35,100
because we don't have anything else to
do today we are concerned about the

622
01:00:33,330 --> 01:00:39,900
safety of the county and the people and
we do want them to take it seriously and

623
01:00:38,340 --> 01:00:45,510
I think you're absolutely right
I agree with Roger I think we need to go

624
01:00:44,160 --> 01:00:50,910
and get this thing in place if we're
gonna get it in place come back I'd say

625
01:00:48,090 --> 01:00:56,250
we made again Monday morning and I am on
that and then I say we get it meet again

626
01:00:53,240 --> 01:01:00,690
at least by maybe Wednesday maybe two or
three times a week because these things

627
01:00:58,170 --> 01:01:05,170
changing every day and we got we got to
be ahead at this end of this game

628
01:01:02,790 --> 01:01:09,670
we can this I don't think there's
anything you're about to come back and

629
01:01:06,310 --> 01:01:12,430
just really destroy this and dig
something different it's it's gonna be a

630
01:01:11,200 --> 01:01:17,860
little mimics like the one we've done
today the date for the third of they

631
01:01:15,369 --> 01:01:23,200
rentals that's we didn't see that in our
last time so we put in there so I'm

632
01:01:21,280 --> 01:01:29,050
gonna Green looks weird we we both on
this day and get it going as an

633
01:01:25,570 --> 01:01:33,490
ordinance or a amendment tubular well
I'm gonna greement also I would say that

634
01:01:31,000 --> 01:01:49,420
if we need time to sit here and go
through this for an hour I just don't

635
01:01:47,140 --> 01:01:54,850
see that it explains everything as well
as everybody says it does because we've

636
01:01:51,790 --> 01:01:59,290
asked questions already about what the
essential things are what it's going to

637
01:01:57,010 --> 01:02:06,340
change that we haven't gotten place now
I don't believe we're gonna be able to I

638
01:02:02,820 --> 01:02:12,490
don't like restricting movement I don't
like the way that even sounds understand

639
01:02:09,190 --> 01:02:21,400
but we all are taking this serious I've
got family members also that are in

640
01:02:17,140 --> 01:02:25,890
danger higher risk of this but I I do
not see that this does anything

641
01:02:23,580 --> 01:02:33,510
different than what we've already done
pretty much and I wish people would just

642
01:02:29,340 --> 01:02:42,760
be considerate of us when it comes to
coming from towns or cities of other

643
01:02:38,109 --> 01:02:47,650
states here they're not being considered
to us the only reason I could even vote

644
01:02:45,369 --> 01:02:53,410
for the other part because the nura
knows was because people weren't being

645
01:02:50,680 --> 01:03:02,109
considerate of us we don't have the
facilities to deal with the earthy we do

646
01:02:57,460 --> 01:03:08,080
not need a flow of people here and but I
do not see that this does anything

647
01:03:04,140 --> 01:03:13,840
really different and I've read it and
it's look no any different than even

648
01:03:11,500 --> 01:03:20,630
what the governor said
the sensual businesses and stuff already

649
01:03:18,230 --> 01:03:25,220
yeah and I have to agree I think we're
doing this and you know if I may

650
01:03:23,480 --> 01:03:28,070
disagree with you Danny for just a
second

651
01:03:26,120 --> 01:03:34,520
I don't think sitting here reading it
going over it line by line really

652
01:03:29,930 --> 01:03:41,780
captures us going home thinking about it
until the next meeting because ideas and

653
01:03:38,930 --> 01:03:48,710
things formulate in your mind and when
you're trying to even defend or argue

654
01:03:46,340 --> 01:03:53,090
your point of view takes everything away
then you're not concentrating on this

655
01:03:50,630 --> 01:03:59,780
anymore because then you wind up in a
disagreement that is so unnecessary so

656
01:03:56,350 --> 01:04:06,410
okay I think we've discussed sure one of
the comments just so our emergency teams

657
01:04:03,700 --> 01:04:11,480
at yesterday's minute did not come up
with this document in fact we we were

658
01:04:09,110 --> 01:04:17,870
kind of up to consensus that what we
were doing was working it is working it

659
01:04:14,690 --> 01:04:24,440
is working it what kind of breakfast a
lot is what David talked about earlier

660
01:04:21,410 --> 01:04:32,030
about the State Emergency Management
ramping up their efforts to create

661
01:04:28,240 --> 01:04:39,890
regional hospitals because they see a
possible surge in this event and so

662
01:04:36,590 --> 01:04:45,890
that's really what prompted us to create
this document and it's mostly is

663
01:04:42,880 --> 01:04:51,560
defining what non-essential services are
you're correct it's not really expanding

664
01:04:48,530 --> 01:04:54,430
much about it but it's a template moving
forward when we do have to add things to

665
01:04:54,110 --> 01:05:00,290
it
the framework is there it's already in

666
01:04:58,610 --> 01:05:03,650
place it's already establishing what
technically it's already here so that

667
01:05:01,940 --> 01:05:06,530
that's why we're bringing it to you sure
now no this is a supplement I understand

668
01:05:05,900 --> 01:05:12,310
that
Roger raised the point that I wanted to

669
01:05:08,390 --> 01:05:15,660
ask the fines and that kind of thing
does it need to be in the supplement

670
01:05:15,200 --> 01:05:24,089
since it
in the original document as far as the

671
01:05:19,770 --> 01:05:28,319
relative properties no no as far as if
you don't say at home and there's

672
01:05:25,349 --> 01:05:33,119
somebody that decides to report you what
you create what you're causing I found

673
01:05:31,020 --> 01:05:46,280
the last page of this document my
question is it does sound art but to

674
01:05:40,680 --> 01:05:49,950
reiterate and to really to reiterate
what it what it would cost the

675
01:05:48,450 --> 01:05:55,950
individual to violate it
we've already got that but it was only

676
01:05:53,069 --> 01:06:02,240
for their rental it's not for the stay
in place okay

677
01:06:05,329 --> 01:06:13,200
and again you know seeking
clarifications of people who are

678
01:06:10,140 --> 01:06:22,140
listening or we hope we've been clear
we've gone through a lot of stuff and so

679
01:06:15,359 --> 01:06:28,260
I'm back and forth but here there are no
more discussion issues with this I will

680
01:06:25,770 --> 01:06:37,349
entertain a motion to adopt the
supplement I'll make a motion that we've

681
01:06:31,829 --> 01:06:45,480
got the supplement declaration of local
state emergency order okay I need a

682
01:06:42,930 --> 01:06:51,140
second I'll second okay we've got a
motion in a second on the floor to adopt

683
01:06:47,549 --> 01:06:54,299
the Supplemental four addendum to the
server

684
01:06:52,289 --> 01:07:02,369
one other thing I'm sorry this will go
in effect at 8:00 p.m. tonight hear that

685
01:07:00,020 --> 01:07:07,410
and if we want to put it into effect I
was going to affair today I don't know

686
01:07:04,109 --> 01:07:12,640
why or so okay okay so we have a motion
in a second on the floor to adopt the

687
01:07:10,650 --> 01:07:20,320
supplement or addendum to the
original whatever you call it state of

688
01:07:18,110 --> 01:07:20,320
emergency

689
01:07:22,990 --> 01:07:37,040
do any other any other discussions
if not then if you agree I want to ask

690
01:07:31,940 --> 01:07:40,340
you to raise your right hand and that's
for if you disagree please raise your

691
01:07:39,530 --> 01:07:45,520
right hand
okay so it's four to one but this is

692
01:07:43,220 --> 01:07:45,520
past

693
01:07:48,880 --> 01:08:04,630
okay anything else on dish or rounders
can I ask this whoever this was been

694
01:08:01,390 --> 01:08:13,390
quarantined that positive tested what
was there is there other people that are

695
01:08:06,460 --> 01:08:16,810
14 with them I was wondering how this
quarantine works I know if you

696
01:08:14,470 --> 01:08:22,480
quarantine one person does anybody there
hasn't contact with them I also get

697
01:08:19,810 --> 01:08:26,920
quarantine it's not coordinated be self
monitoring we we would try to get a list

698
01:08:25,449 --> 01:08:33,810
of anybody that's been in contact with
this person and notify them just to self

699
01:08:30,040 --> 01:08:39,400
monitor and take note of that basically
there is family with this person and

700
01:08:37,480 --> 01:08:46,750
they are not to my knowledge so any any
signs or symptoms at this time okay I

701
01:08:42,130 --> 01:08:52,210
was just coming so we're group also
talked about and I know y'all I've had

702
01:08:49,630 --> 01:08:57,609
some discussions about closing borders
and things like that so just let you

703
01:08:55,599 --> 01:09:02,889
know for the public's benefit that we
are looking at all aspects at this point

704
01:09:00,599 --> 01:09:08,830
we've determined it would take 48
deputies to to do man stops at each one

705
01:09:06,130 --> 01:09:14,190
of error in the county so we don't have
one we don't have the lift the fork the

706
01:09:11,319 --> 01:09:22,179
second we did go out for an RFP for
emergency silence and road closure I

707
01:09:18,270 --> 01:09:28,869
guess equipment and so just to make sure
we have it I think it was going to be

708
01:09:24,480 --> 01:09:34,719
$30,000 for a two-week period to close
the roads so just FYI we we are we do

709
01:09:32,830 --> 01:09:40,779
have the capability if this board
chooses to do so as far as not not the

710
01:09:37,389 --> 01:09:46,759
manpower but to do road closures at some
point and just one less you know we are

711
01:09:43,210 --> 01:09:53,320
looking at all aspects of this event
and process and but that's not a

712
01:09:51,289 --> 01:10:01,309
recommendation of the very our group I
want to let you know mr. Chairman I

713
01:09:59,300 --> 01:10:06,409
would also like for us together I think
we did a good job last Monday of getting

714
01:10:04,639 --> 01:10:13,070
the supplement out that we pass at that
time to all the different sources for

715
01:10:11,449 --> 01:10:17,599
people to be able to see and I suggest
we did the same thing make sure that it

716
01:10:14,690 --> 01:10:22,070
gets out to every kind of about late'
agency so that people can read this

717
01:10:20,150 --> 01:10:28,909
supplement and see what it is that we
just passed see what watch restricted

718
01:10:25,909 --> 01:10:33,880
and what is not restricted and I think
that's very important thing get that out

719
01:10:30,260 --> 01:10:39,380
there and put it on our government page
smoking that sometimes all of it all

720
01:10:36,829 --> 01:10:44,690
access to it with that since it's a
longer document we recommend posting on

721
01:10:42,320 --> 01:10:48,800
the actual website and we can post a
link to the website because you have to

722
01:10:47,119 --> 01:10:56,300
scan it in on the Facebook and it's too
large for that and it's hard to read

723
01:10:52,719 --> 01:10:59,989
thank you did you say what you wanted or
something just yes sir I just want to

724
01:10:58,309 --> 01:11:05,320
get it out there I just want this to be
available dark yeah we're looking at

725
01:11:02,000 --> 01:11:10,480
clerk and say that that falls within her
bailiwick and she should be able to get

726
01:11:07,670 --> 01:11:15,429
this out where it needs to go okay
any other questions

727
01:11:16,730 --> 01:11:23,599
if we are going to meet next week first
of next week I would ask that we meet at

728
01:11:20,570 --> 01:11:26,869
10:00 or after lunch this just gives us
a little more time to meet as agreed but

729
01:11:25,610 --> 01:11:30,289
the thing has happened over the weekend
or that we can bring any recommendations

730
01:11:29,000 --> 01:11:35,480
to you yeah
well I really appreciate you saying that

731
01:11:32,090 --> 01:11:39,170
because I feel the same way it's one
thing to let public know that we're on

732
01:11:37,369 --> 01:11:45,590
top of all this or that we're involved
in it's another thing to give you guys

733
01:11:41,300 --> 01:11:51,409
time to do due diligence so so I agree
with that and you can I think we can do

734
01:11:49,760 --> 01:11:56,489
that a little bit get time for the team
I guess

735
01:11:53,370 --> 01:11:56,489
[Music]

736
01:11:59,680 --> 01:12:07,450
one o'clock please okay so we have not
set a time yet but just keep that in

737
01:12:06,100 --> 01:12:18,790
mind when you get around to setting the
time for our next meeting okay anything

738
01:12:11,890 --> 01:12:24,460
else around this issue if not we do have
some people who want to speak to us and

739
01:12:21,360 --> 01:12:34,750
so understanding chair go ahead

this thank you for having all the house
a couple times I appreciate the info so

743
01:12:52,480 --> 01:13:06,850
you're gonna good job okay
my name is Cynthia wama I'm a resident

744
01:13:04,540 --> 01:13:09,580
of Swain County I sit to each of you an
email

745
01:13:07,240 --> 01:13:14,590
the commissioners this week an email
expressing my concerns about the county

746
01:13:11,740 --> 01:13:21,010
and and also thanking you for all that
you've done so far the declaration on

747
01:13:16,990 --> 01:13:26,470
Monday you just passed a supplemental to
that I do share the same concern you

748
01:13:23,380 --> 01:13:31,660
have mr. Partin on exactly what changes
I'm not sure there's a single business

749
01:13:28,750 --> 01:13:35,950
in Swain County that will close because
of this declaration as being

750
01:13:34,060 --> 01:13:39,820
non-essential it seems pretty broad and
that seems to be what happening in the

751
01:13:37,510 --> 01:13:43,780
other counties I do want to like said
thank you it's amazing to see our

752
01:13:41,920 --> 01:13:48,210
community come together the way it has
right now I mean neighbors helping

753
01:13:45,910 --> 01:13:53,230
neighbors strangers helping each other
at a time of crisis we do have a lot of

754
01:13:51,640 --> 01:13:57,640
people in need in our community we have
a lot of people out of work we also have

755
01:13:55,480 --> 01:14:01,570
a lot of resources with our food bank
here in Bryson City with restoration

756
01:13:59,380 --> 01:14:07,030
house with the caring corner with all
our churches coming together I am just

757
01:14:04,600 --> 01:14:11,380
astounded by what our school district
has been able to do in a very short

758
01:14:09,190 --> 01:14:18,010
period of time to completely change
their mode of operation

759
01:14:14,050 --> 01:14:23,080
in all ways and still have services
going to our folks the health department

760
01:14:20,890 --> 01:14:29,410
our first responders I mean it is just
amazing to me and like said I do I do

761
01:14:26,200 --> 01:14:32,920
want to thank you all of you for what's
happening there and then I asked them we

762
01:14:31,000 --> 01:14:37,150
not forget those folks who are in those
essential businesses like our grocery

763
01:14:34,930 --> 01:14:43,120
workers that our pharmacists and health
care all of those who are out there some

764
01:14:40,240 --> 01:14:49,600
of very low paying jobs working their
butts off literally to make sure that we

765
01:14:45,610 --> 01:14:55,750
have food it came to my attention
earlier this week that one of our local

766
01:14:52,330 --> 01:15:01,420
citizens had started a petition to close
the borders of Swain County to anyone

767
01:14:58,540 --> 01:15:06,460
and I know you just addressed that here
and said the emergency management team

768
01:15:04,300 --> 01:15:11,050
had already looked at that and what it
would cost and what it would take in

769
01:15:07,600 --> 01:15:14,500
terms of manpower I I know that that
petition does have a lot of signatures

770
01:15:12,760 --> 01:15:18,430
on it right now from Swain County
residents but I wanted you to know that

771
01:15:16,090 --> 01:15:23,110
not all Swain County residents believe
that's the right way to go I can only

772
01:15:20,680 --> 01:15:28,210
speak for me I don't have a petition but
I can tell you that I don't believe it's

773
01:15:25,420 --> 01:15:32,890
the right way to go and I think that I
would rather have our scarce resources

774
01:15:30,850 --> 01:15:39,010
that we have in our County whether
that's our law enforcement whether it is

775
01:15:36,600 --> 01:15:46,870
anyone else who works for the county
spent on other positive things than

776
01:15:43,540 --> 01:15:53,310
trying to keep out somebody who we don't
even know who or what they are at a time

777
01:15:50,080 --> 01:15:59,740
when we are part of a larger community
we Swain County don't stand alone in

778
01:15:56,830 --> 01:16:04,990
Western North Carolina as several have
you brought up during the meeting we had

779
01:16:02,770 --> 01:16:10,810
people in Swain County who work in other
counties we have people in other

780
01:16:08,110 --> 01:16:15,970
counties who are essential personnel in
our County they are our school teachers

781
01:16:12,970 --> 01:16:23,110
they work at Ingalls they are people who
are pharmacists they're everything their

782
01:16:18,370 --> 01:16:26,769
health care if one person crosses it's a
porous border

783
01:16:24,309 --> 01:16:30,999
we also haven't talked about the people
that would need to get through our

784
01:16:28,209 --> 01:16:36,129
County to get to other places whether
that is to Graham County to Macon County

785
01:16:33,309 --> 01:16:40,329
to Cherokee County wherever it is they
would need to go and how those people

786
01:16:38,319 --> 01:16:44,139
would be taken care of are we really
going to stop everybody at the border of

787
01:16:42,760 --> 01:16:49,359
Swain County and check their temperature
oh wait that doesn't work either because

788
01:16:46,359 --> 01:16:55,300
you can be asymptomatic and already have
covin 19 so I just wanted to say I don't

789
01:16:53,139 --> 01:16:59,530
agree with that and that I think that
we're stronger together with the other

790
01:16:57,429 --> 01:17:04,929
counties in Western North Carolina and
that we shouldn't try to go this alone

791
01:17:01,649 --> 01:17:09,429
we need to be a team with Jackson and
Swain and with Jackson and Graham and

792
01:17:06,489 --> 01:17:13,209
Macon and remember that we are all
neighbors we have families in those

793
01:17:11,469 --> 01:17:18,189
counties we have friends in those
counties we have Church family members

794
01:17:16,030 --> 01:17:22,899
in those counties we have co-workers in
those counties they're not the enemy we

795
01:17:21,369 --> 01:17:27,819
should let them come to our ankles in
shock we shouldn't say you can't and

796
01:17:25,329 --> 01:17:31,659
they should allow me to go to Lowe's if
I need something that for some reason

797
01:17:29,589 --> 01:17:36,159
Clampetts doesn't have they have almost
everything but if they do not have it I

798
01:17:34,239 --> 01:17:40,059
ought to be able to go to Lowe's in
Jackson County and get it I don't want

799
01:17:38,079 --> 01:17:45,789
them and tell me I can't do that and I
don't want here for us to be saying you

800
01:17:43,629 --> 01:17:50,260
are others you're not important enough
we only care about people who actually

801
01:17:48,069 --> 01:17:54,579
have Swain County on their driver's
license I think that's the wrong message

802
01:17:52,239 --> 01:18:02,050
to send at a time when the nation is in
crisis we need to be caring we need to

803
01:17:58,839 --> 01:18:07,869
be safe we don't want people spreading
but we need to do it in a way that's

804
01:18:04,989 --> 01:18:09,959
compassionate thank you very much thank
you

805
01:18:25,550 --> 01:18:36,020
good morning good morning um so I've
timed myself to my three minutes so good

806
01:18:32,510 --> 01:18:39,380
morning to state your name for the
record

807
01:18:36,380 --> 01:18:42,650
oh yes my name is Kellie mark I'm a 26
year old citizen currently residing in

808
01:18:41,060 --> 01:18:52,790
Whittier and I've been living here since
the age of three twenty-fourth I drew up

809
01:18:50,990 --> 01:18:57,650
a petition to get his swing Jerry Porter
disclosed my opinion was formed after

810
01:18:55,670 --> 01:19:01,130
the cloture of Qualla boundary Green
County and most recently Highlands and

811
01:18:59,660 --> 01:19:06,860
deciding this is best for our local
communities what the most recent news of

812
01:19:04,850 --> 01:19:10,880
the US having the highest a minute of
reported cases in the world

813
01:19:08,360 --> 01:19:15,140
I believe the virus has already made and
since been confirmed that it is in our

814
01:19:12,650 --> 01:19:18,290
town at this moment it does not matter
how it got here

815
01:19:16,220 --> 01:19:23,240
it's matters how we're going to stop the
spread or flatten the curve I've had

816
01:19:21,320 --> 01:19:27,830
three popular opinions on why closing
the border is a bad idea people can't

817
01:19:25,430 --> 01:19:31,430
get to work or visit family they cannot
go to the grocery store or pharmacy or

818
01:19:29,480 --> 01:19:34,340
doctor and that we've already closed all
parks and short-term rentals which

819
01:19:32,900 --> 01:19:38,150
should alleviate the mass amounts of
visitors that we do have I was

820
01:19:36,320 --> 01:19:42,020
optimistic on Tuesday and Wednesday when
both announcements were made the grocery

821
01:19:40,220 --> 01:19:47,120
store traffic was much less than Monday
and it actually found some ground beef

822
01:19:44,290 --> 01:19:51,110
my response to these challenges number
one if your job is essential you will be

823
01:19:49,490 --> 01:19:54,500
able to travel in and out of counties
this is what Grand Cherokee and

824
01:19:52,850 --> 01:19:58,460
Highlands are doing and I cannot see why
we would be any different - if our

825
01:19:56,870 --> 01:20:02,210
borders which shut down that does not
mean no one can cross the line ever it

826
01:20:00,410 --> 01:20:06,650
simply means that the entrances will be
limited to the locals of Sling County

827
01:20:04,070 --> 01:20:09,680
and similar to a routine traffic check a
driver's license

828
01:20:07,670 --> 01:20:13,340
long term rental agreement or a job ID
are just a few of the options that I

829
01:20:11,780 --> 01:20:17,600
imagine could get us through the border
and as previously mentioned with your

830
01:20:15,680 --> 01:20:24,020
addendum to the declaration that covered
my third point on that part with the 30

831
01:20:20,540 --> 01:20:27,320
day as a Monday so turning to turning
away visitors is the last thing that I

832
01:20:25,520 --> 01:20:31,010
want to do right now but at this moment
Phil it's in our best interest to do so

833
01:20:28,790 --> 01:20:35,870
and if all surrounding counties are on
lockdown our citizens cannot get in but

834
01:20:33,890 --> 01:20:39,950
their citizens can come into our County
and use our resources and possibly

835
01:20:37,610 --> 01:20:43,250
expose us even more I know that our
staff is limited as well as our

836
01:20:41,480 --> 01:20:46,280
resources and what there being many
entrances in and out of swing county

837
01:20:45,080 --> 01:20:50,690
have attempted to come up with the
simplest solution we would need a total

838
01:20:48,500 --> 01:20:55,610
of five closed roads three manned
blockades located at exit 67 which is

839
01:20:53,390 --> 01:20:59,690
the main exit Markey Hyatts garage
catching all traffic coming off exit 64

840
01:20:58,220 --> 01:21:03,740
as well as those traveling back roads
like lower Larkin Road and Buckner

841
01:21:01,190 --> 01:21:08,060
branch and highway 19 at the pull off
just past Darnell farms and Walker would

842
01:21:05,720 --> 01:21:11,990
erode catching traffic from ela and
Hiatt Creek exit and then the two

843
01:21:10,100 --> 01:21:16,040
unmanned blockades located at the east
side of Old River Road allowing

844
01:21:13,520 --> 01:21:19,430
residents to access the west side and on
Tom Branch Road if galbart Creek which

845
01:21:17,780 --> 01:21:23,090
limits accessibility through Deep Creek
I truly believe the sooner we take

846
01:21:21,410 --> 01:21:27,890
action and the sooner we get back to our
normal lives and routine I've printed

847
01:21:26,330 --> 01:21:30,950
out a copy of what I've said today as
well as a copy of the petition that give

848
01:21:29,450 --> 01:21:34,580
to you and I ask that you please
consider this in all information and the

849
01:21:32,750 --> 01:21:38,710
upcoming decisions that need to be made
I would like to thank you for your time

850
01:21:36,710 --> 01:21:45,710
I suppose everything that you have done
for a community as far as the outbreak

851
01:21:41,780 --> 01:21:51,490
of the corona virus I know myself as
well as others really appreciate your

852
01:21:47,330 --> 01:21:56,180
time and effort to help our community
and they have these I just a couple

853
01:21:54,140 --> 01:22:04,510
copies you would give them to the clerk
please thank you very much thank you

854
01:22:14,610 --> 01:22:21,020
okay commissioners you heard we need to
comment

855
01:22:21,909 --> 01:22:30,070
I appreciate them saying how much they
appreciate you know we're all on this

856
01:22:27,340 --> 01:22:36,310
bubble together and you know we're
learning as we go as well as they are

857
01:22:32,310 --> 01:22:40,000
everyone else and so I guess when I ask
questions I want people to understand

858
01:22:38,230 --> 01:22:44,469
that I'm trying to get clarification if
I understand it I'm sure the public

859
01:22:41,469 --> 01:22:59,889
would understand so that's part of what
it is gentlemen do you have anything

860
01:22:46,870 --> 01:23:07,030
else to add to assist the sheriff and
all of us I guess in my thought process

861
01:23:04,870 --> 01:23:13,600
the owner would put in Monday and the
only bid or an effort to restrict the

862
01:23:10,900 --> 01:23:21,389
movement and what's happening it doesn't
sound bad we should agree with our goal

863
01:23:18,040 --> 01:23:28,780
they 100 city was successful we are not
know if we can stop 75% of it I would

864
01:23:25,630 --> 01:23:32,380
say that's highly successful so as the
citizens in the county are thinking

865
01:23:31,300 --> 01:23:36,670
about the orders that we have in place
that started to make phone calls you

866
01:23:34,840 --> 01:23:41,199
know understand that we're getting the
most of the traffic stopped we have so

867
01:23:39,400 --> 01:23:46,300
far we've heard what the sheriff site
and then surveys in looking there's not

868
01:23:43,929 --> 01:23:50,920
as many out-of-state cars here which is
our available so the citizens the county

869
01:23:49,780 --> 01:23:55,030
if we can ask them to have a little
patience as we're going through and and

870
01:23:53,679 --> 01:23:58,120
they start they see someone think
shouldn't do you they're gonna call and

871
01:23:56,320 --> 01:24:03,480
say with somebody you know if it's a
concern absolutely

872
01:24:00,440 --> 01:24:08,010
but at the same time if they would give
us some time to make this work and with

873
01:24:06,570 --> 01:24:13,639
the understanding that we are not gonna
be a hundred percent successful well

874
01:24:11,190 --> 01:24:13,639
thank you

875
01:24:16,849 --> 01:24:26,820
we are definitely an unchartered water
this is kind of learn as you go

876
01:24:23,579 --> 01:24:31,679
situation hopefully if we ever have to
face this again we'll have things in

877
01:24:28,440 --> 01:24:38,239
place that that will eliminate a lot of
this these meetings trying to to get

878
01:24:35,730 --> 01:24:43,409
plans and procedures in place but I
appreciate you all to God I mean you've

879
01:24:41,159 --> 01:24:48,090
worked hard trying to do what you
think's right for Swain County and we're

880
01:24:46,409 --> 01:24:56,809
gonna we're gonna do our best try to
fulfill those orders let you put out I

881
01:24:54,119 --> 01:25:02,210
think we're gonna be a better County
when this is over with I think we're

882
01:24:59,369 --> 01:25:07,260
gonna come together we're going to grow
and just be better for it

883
01:25:04,770 --> 01:25:14,610
well let me think you and I will and I
think David but let me die and your crew

884
01:25:10,079 --> 01:25:18,989
your staff and deputies because we could
pass anything we want to pass but if we

885
01:25:17,489 --> 01:25:23,460
don't have anybody to go out and enforce
it then it doesn't do us any good so

886
01:25:21,090 --> 01:25:27,720
we're counting on you and depending on
you

887
01:25:24,060 --> 01:25:31,350
and waiting on you to come back with
good advice I thought that was an

888
01:25:29,460 --> 01:25:36,840
excellent recommendation this morning
and we thank you very much David that

889
01:25:35,160 --> 01:25:41,240
takes nothing away from your crew or
your staff because we know that

890
01:25:41,510 --> 01:25:51,000
emergency responders emergency personnel
are they literally are on the not the

891
01:25:49,170 --> 01:25:57,000
front line but they're on the line and
they are we need to try to ensure that

892
01:25:55,170 --> 01:26:02,040
they have all of the equipment that they
need in order to respond to the citizens

893
01:25:59,790 --> 01:26:09,360
of Swain County so we thank you and
Allison and anyone else our manager who

894
01:26:06,440 --> 01:26:13,590
is involved in this and helping us and
guiding us I think that the emergency

895
01:26:11,820 --> 01:26:18,660
team is in place so we don't make any
knee-jerk reactions or emotional actions

896
01:26:16,320 --> 01:26:25,980
that we do what is better for the county
and you know your recommendations dumas

897
01:26:23,190 --> 01:26:31,710
time to sit and think about what's going
on so I thank you baby

898
01:26:29,820 --> 01:26:37,590
you have anything to say I just got one
question it's not here to come up with

899
01:26:34,620 --> 01:26:43,280
lots of questions I think I just had I
just had a text from someone and again

900
01:26:40,890 --> 01:26:50,870
we're gonna get I think barrage with
calls about essential services is there

901
01:26:47,250 --> 01:26:57,720
some place we should refer them to call
to have that help me to find a princess

902
01:26:55,650 --> 01:27:05,760
I have a text from someone that mows
lawns are they considered an essential

903
01:27:00,000 --> 01:27:12,990
service how are we going to define all
this we got to take it one at a time or

904
01:27:09,660 --> 01:27:18,990
how we're going to do that these people
are this person is serious and wanting

905
01:27:15,660 --> 01:27:21,410
to know it's a livelihood issue for them
also

906
01:27:23,699 --> 01:27:30,439
and the answer your question I will have
to go back and look at the essential

907
01:27:27,899 --> 01:27:37,469
part I know other counties have kind of
toured with that that the lawn mowing

908
01:27:33,289 --> 01:27:40,289
landscaping businesses in my mind they
are essential services because you you

909
01:27:39,510 --> 01:27:47,610
know that would go
it's a executive a health related part

910
01:27:44,849 --> 01:27:51,840
if it didn't get done then you could
have possibility of rodents things like

911
01:27:49,860 --> 01:27:57,929
that so it's so many so in my mind it
would be essential yeah I think Kim left

912
01:27:54,599 --> 01:28:01,530
that out so so basically it is an
essential service from air wouldn't a

913
01:27:59,519 --> 01:28:05,550
standpoint there are other counties that
thought it was not an essential service

914
01:28:03,840 --> 01:28:10,649
and therefore they they put a stop to it
because there would be more than three

915
01:28:08,039 --> 01:28:14,760
or four people in a truck going to a sod
and that was their logic but I think we

916
01:28:13,019 --> 01:28:20,039
left it out I think that I think it's
part of our essential services but in

917
01:28:17,519 --> 01:28:23,969
going forward we're going to get I think
the wrong Falls and then a lot of

918
01:28:22,079 --> 01:28:30,630
complaints about will you love that one
work in this is there an opportunity to

919
01:28:27,719 --> 01:28:36,300
set up we have committed ourselves we
have one Danny I'm sorry okay we have

920
01:28:32,999 --> 01:28:41,149
one the health department hotline for
eight eight three one nine eight they

921
01:28:39,209 --> 01:28:46,099
can call and get those kind of questions
if the person on the phone cannot answer

922
01:28:44,070 --> 01:28:55,679
that question they would either go to
Kevin or or even David or Alison herself

923
01:28:50,639 --> 01:29:05,669
so so yes the four eight eight three one
nine eight also I think that if we feel

924
01:28:59,459 --> 01:29:12,090
that the words Lynne what you call it
the people that mow the lawns take it

925
01:29:09,269 --> 01:29:19,769
for essential care or for they help the
landscaping thinking we need to get that

926
01:29:16,260 --> 01:29:24,950
if we if if it's important then we need
to come back and amend our thing and in

927
01:29:22,040 --> 01:29:30,250
in there doesn't mean that we can do
that for everyone but I think that I

928
01:29:27,320 --> 01:29:36,500
agree that it is an essential thing
because grown longer tired snakes

929
01:29:33,860 --> 01:29:43,210
well I think we can make it arbitrary to
where people can plead their case okay

930
01:29:42,020 --> 01:29:50,690
sure
miss Jennifer gonna enforce an order we

931
01:29:47,750 --> 01:29:56,990
we can have knee-jerk reactions so I
need a very specific list of those

932
01:29:54,950 --> 01:30:02,000
people that that are considered
essential I know some of them are listed

933
01:29:58,670 --> 01:30:06,230
here but I don't I don't want my
officers going out and having to make a

934
01:30:03,410 --> 01:30:11,180
decision on side saying oh I'm sorry you
you can work or sorry you can't work so

935
01:30:09,410 --> 01:30:15,140
I need that list now that's what we're
gonna go by well then thank you very

936
01:30:13,520 --> 01:30:21,080
much Sheriff and I agree with you as
well that it's our order it's our we put

937
01:30:18,350 --> 01:30:26,240
it in place and so if that will help you
better do your job that's what we'll do

938
01:30:23,510 --> 01:30:30,710
so and I see the manager
nodding his head so I think he agrees

939
01:30:28,310 --> 01:30:34,070
and he will come back to us at our next
meeting with some recommendations and

940
01:30:32,690 --> 01:30:41,680
thank you for the coffee Joey
I do have something though I know there

941
01:30:37,010 --> 01:30:41,680
are other emails and stuff for the state

942
01:30:41,830 --> 01:30:49,460
which I know that some of the stuff is
still held there and federal stuff is

943
01:30:47,030 --> 01:30:56,000
held there which will also come down to
the state let the unemployment being

944
01:30:53,330 --> 01:31:01,670
expanded and stuff like it are we
putting out the same way that you can

945
01:30:59,000 --> 01:31:06,710
put this out the avenues for people to
go to get help with that because the

946
01:31:04,640 --> 01:31:10,539
state and the federal is going to cover
a lot of this yes also and I agree with

947
01:31:10,280 --> 01:31:18,459
you
and probably every Commissioner here has

948
01:31:14,829 --> 01:31:26,169
gotten matured because you email this
down yeah oh okay good but everybody

949
01:31:23,019 --> 01:31:31,619
here has gotten bombarded from me with
all of this kind of relationship yes let

950
01:31:28,689 --> 01:31:37,929
advances on how to contact people zone
and if I'm mistaken guys tell me but I

951
01:31:34,719 --> 01:31:42,429
think that sometimes I feel guilty about
sending y'all over stop well it's fine

952
01:31:40,329 --> 01:31:48,760
the same but do we have it like at the
Resource Center do we have all the

953
01:31:45,780 --> 01:31:53,289
information you send us i've looked
about him I don't know I fear most of

954
01:31:51,280 --> 01:31:57,760
these are from being but it's all
information like that and we had some

955
01:31:55,089 --> 01:32:02,619
other stuff from the state do we have
that set up like at the Resource Center

956
01:31:59,559 --> 01:32:09,189
where people can can't access it or D
where they sign up for unemployment

957
01:32:04,719 --> 01:32:13,719
stuff through BSA there's social
services is that worthy no well that's

958
01:32:11,559 --> 01:32:18,280
to Employment Security Commission there
are cables they're actually closed their

959
01:32:15,729 --> 01:32:23,589
offices here so they've closed here yeah
so how do we help the people here that

960
01:32:21,669 --> 01:32:29,229
need to file for them and pull they have
it their own one there's a state number

961
01:32:25,719 --> 01:32:39,729
but they call we need to get that out
and and at this point Kevin is the

962
01:32:36,579 --> 01:32:42,819
Family Resource Center operating it is
operating but I think we need to pour

963
01:32:41,530 --> 01:32:48,760
them back to the four eight eight three
one nine eight number and also the two

964
01:32:46,179 --> 01:32:54,369
one one and also if they have questions
about the kovat not team to do I heard

965
01:32:51,639 --> 01:32:58,689
we didn't see before they can get to
text messaging I think those are the

966
01:32:56,260 --> 01:33:03,519
three outlets right now for the two one
one this Resource Center is gonna be

967
01:33:00,729 --> 01:33:07,209
full on there for the food service so
they're already on there for that also

968
01:33:05,469 --> 01:33:10,929
into one one it's going to point them
toward the state resources for the

969
01:33:09,879 --> 01:33:15,900
unemployment insurance
anything that they need for rent

970
01:33:13,380 --> 01:33:20,369
or estate services so I think we need to
point them in those directions first and

971
01:33:17,699 --> 01:33:24,750
and what will be a filter I mean Dickey
call the main number our main number at

972
01:33:22,980 --> 01:33:32,280
the at the courthouse weekend we'll be
able to filter it around others what

973
01:33:27,300 --> 01:33:36,659
kept 45373 okay and then extensions for
anyone they needed outdoor how do they

974
01:33:34,469 --> 01:33:40,290
get that I've I've listened to that and
I find it extremely irritating but you

975
01:33:39,210 --> 01:33:47,130
know that's my person
yeah we'll we'll try to get a press one

976
01:33:44,840 --> 01:33:52,829
so so they'll it'll it'll be in the
first string on that on the telephone

977
01:33:49,469 --> 01:33:57,000
ring our tree I think I think you're a
zero nut automatically comes to me

978
01:33:54,630 --> 01:34:03,449
anyway yeah so we'll handle that in here
okay okay that's taken care of in house

979
01:33:59,730 --> 01:34:09,659
anything else that you just know that's
it and well the volunteer list if you

980
01:34:07,020 --> 01:34:14,010
tried to get started before that we were
in the process of making no it's been a

981
01:34:11,820 --> 01:34:21,840
while since we talked about it do you
have anything if I'd like to see some of

982
01:34:19,020 --> 01:34:30,290
our communities be even if there's
anybody on that list I think we go back

983
01:34:26,159 --> 01:34:34,800
to to the county manager and just simply
say because that was one family resource

984
01:34:33,119 --> 01:34:38,430
so they need they do
being open and they knew that people

985
01:34:37,110 --> 01:34:51,090
didn't need to be able to know that
number yeah anything else I just want

986
01:34:48,630 --> 01:34:57,630
that yeah we had two people coming here
talking about closing the county day

987
01:34:52,260 --> 01:35:01,050
long it's kind of I don't know exactly
what all that looks like I know Graham

988
01:34:59,040 --> 01:35:04,380
County's looking at shutting us down
I don't know if that's gonna happen on

989
01:35:02,700 --> 01:35:16,320
earth at I think there's some hit kept
in that row and so but I was list to

990
01:35:14,580 --> 01:35:24,450
come back set the county down it sounded
less normal talk about setting the town

991
01:35:19,260 --> 01:35:30,090
down so that's what I wanted to clarify
on that if we were still shut down it

992
01:35:28,260 --> 01:35:38,520
would be the county and not just the
town right is that itself what I'm I

993
01:35:31,860 --> 01:35:41,760
mean if that's about later is that what
we're looking at I mean that's that's

994
01:35:39,840 --> 01:35:46,110
that's what I wanted to know any action
but this board replay the entire county

995
01:35:43,320 --> 01:35:50,880
town board has the authority under the
jurisdiction to shut the borders the

996
01:35:48,390 --> 01:35:54,440
town as well should they choose to okay
yeah that's discounted LaRose

997
01:35:58,219 --> 01:36:06,510
the municipality would be included in
that also so and that's only but let me

998
01:36:04,440 --> 01:36:12,660
be clear that's only because they signed
our state of emergency and they gave us

999
01:36:11,070 --> 01:36:18,449
the authority to do that within the
borders of the city but otherwise they

1000
01:36:15,750 --> 01:36:23,370
would not have we would not have that
authority without their approval

1001
01:36:20,520 --> 01:36:26,880
I know mayor Tom's not in here but I've
been talking to him probably about every

1002
01:36:24,600 --> 01:36:35,520
day to trying to keep mm-hmm I think he
said the roofs are easier somewhere but

1003
01:36:31,530 --> 01:36:58,650
but I think that that's clear that we
have that authority as long as the major

1004
01:36:38,760 --> 01:37:02,210
signs that he's paid oh yeah so that
equals the axis

1005
01:37:11,889 --> 01:37:18,650
as you told us last time sheriff that's
that's a 24-hour job it's not just a you

1006
01:37:17,360 --> 01:37:21,610
know go up there sit there for a couple
hours and go home

1007
01:37:28,040 --> 01:37:40,470
thank you well we hope that people can
get record get a copy of this meeting so

1008
01:37:39,030 --> 01:37:45,420
that they know that we are trying to
stay on top of everything and that we

1009
01:37:42,990 --> 01:37:55,670
have a lot more information and input
and I am aware David that and I'm going

1010
01:37:52,110 --> 01:38:03,230
to ask you rather than this year on this
do you know where today Graham County is

1011
01:37:59,660 --> 01:38:03,230
shutting its waters

1012
01:38:24,670 --> 01:38:27,670
so

1013
01:38:29,929 --> 01:38:34,600
Sharon
access

1014
01:38:44,420 --> 01:38:54,960
did you ever maybe some initiative is
okay go ahead chair

1015
01:38:52,400 --> 01:39:03,780
I'll talk to sheriff Guillaume several
times sure this week about road closures

1016
01:38:59,240 --> 01:39:09,930
as David said you're a Skyway polka damn
and Fontana Dam that in that area inside

1017
01:39:08,250 --> 01:39:15,180
Grand Canyon I thought ultimate you know
field one set up inside Graham County we

1018
01:39:11,850 --> 01:39:20,010
support you 100% right now we're not
closing roads at Wayne County and that

1019
01:39:18,270 --> 01:39:25,350
what you want to do go to deal the gap
and close the roads are up there which

1020
01:39:21,720 --> 01:39:31,250
is squarely in Fayette County so I think
we might have that nipped in the bud

1021
01:39:28,280 --> 01:39:37,350
Paul in Graham County I'm all for
tonight's covers quick Curtis you see a

1022
01:39:34,740 --> 01:39:44,640
necessity for a curfew as other counties
have done

1023
01:39:37,710 --> 01:39:51,570
I really don't write it right now the
traffic volume really down our call

1024
01:39:48,180 --> 01:39:57,750
volume is is really them at this time if
we were having masses breaking in the

1025
01:39:54,030 --> 01:40:01,980
enemies or carjacking or assaults and
then I would probably see it differently

1026
01:39:59,670 --> 01:40:06,440
but I thought this time I don't
recommend it thank you Thank You sheriff

1027
01:40:05,670 --> 01:40:13,250
of cooch
I had one request of the flirt you sure

1028
01:40:10,850 --> 01:40:17,870
I looked on the county's website there
was my old phone number I had several

1029
01:40:16,550 --> 01:40:24,739
years just along there
would you update that to eight to eight

1030
01:40:20,320 --> 01:40:28,310
seven three six three seven zero two but
I think it would be good

1031
01:40:26,570 --> 01:40:37,340
Madame clerk if you would just take a
look at the whole page and see what

1032
01:40:30,530 --> 01:40:42,050
needs to be updated on the website is I
don't I'm not looked at him and they do

1033
01:40:38,930 --> 01:40:47,570
but it may be re on there like the coded
nineteen the forty nine one three one

1034
01:40:45,650 --> 01:41:03,199
nine eight for the Health Department is
there like a like a section where people

1035
01:40:50,270 --> 01:41:06,800
can go on their if they're okay and
they'll give those resources as well as

1036
01:41:05,210 --> 01:41:16,310

started to get that things okay great

01:41:09,920 --> 01:41:21,860
thank you Thank You mr. chairman I just
like to coming into closing type of

1038
01:41:18,620 --> 01:41:24,949
statement I think when you come go
through a crisis like we're going

1039
01:41:23,210 --> 01:41:30,620
through right now it brings out the
character of the county and I want us to

1040
01:41:28,040 --> 01:41:35,870
be when this is over look back and say
it's this county handled this with class

1041
01:41:32,870 --> 01:41:40,910
and character I would like to state you
know some of the simple most obvious

1042
01:41:37,820 --> 01:41:44,690
things it seems like it shouldn't even
need to be said but you know if you're

1043
01:41:42,530 --> 01:41:50,030
sick your stay home if you're around
somebody that's been sick just stay home

1044
01:41:46,699 --> 01:41:55,390
if you are afraid of becoming sick and
have compromised system stay home and

1045
01:41:53,480 --> 01:42:00,530
I'd like to add with that then also
please check on your neighbor please

check on your family take care of each
other and we will get through this and

1047
01:42:02,660 --> 01:42:09,560
we will look back and we'll have a sense
of pride how we handle this as a

1048
01:42:06,590 --> 01:42:18,960
community and as a county thank you very
much well said

1049
01:42:12,590 --> 01:42:27,710
sit our next week one of the things
Roger that if there is humor in this I

1050
01:42:22,490 --> 01:42:35,780
think it was the toilet paper for tea
and the CDC has said the best you can do

1051
01:42:33,540 --> 01:42:41,010
is wash your hands with soap and water
there's none better run on the soap the

1052
01:42:39,480 --> 01:42:47,490
second best thing that you can do is
have some hand sanitizer there's not

1053
01:42:44,190 --> 01:42:55,950
been a run on hand sanitizer although a
couple of things have happened that I

1054
01:42:50,790 --> 01:42:58,190
think is is important and that's that
the

1055
01:42:59,099 --> 01:43:52,389
National Information and sometimes one
of the things that I keep thinking about

1056
01:43:48,900 --> 01:43:59,070
is how many of us in our churches and
individually have praised that we find a

1057
01:43:57,219 --> 01:44:05,530
way to pull our families back together
we've got it I used to complain

1058
01:44:02,670 --> 01:44:13,300
seriously about the cellphone and how
it's taken over our lives but in

1059
01:44:09,540 --> 01:44:19,360
self-isolation I'm not cut off from the
world I've got my cell phone and I think

1060
01:44:16,090 --> 01:44:24,420
that's a blessing in itself so so I've
had to stop and rethink everything that

1061
01:44:21,340 --> 01:44:29,830
I thought was important another point
okay let's sit on next meeting when when

1062
01:44:27,460 --> 01:44:33,940
do you guys want to come in and and
David I will ask you and how much time

1063
01:44:31,869 --> 01:44:41,010
do you think ends here how much time do
you think we need for you to get a grip

1064
01:44:36,460 --> 01:44:41,010
on what's going on as far as our

1065
01:44:43,540 --> 01:44:52,780
Challenge and getting the people out you
know we've got a lot of people out there

1066
01:44:48,670 --> 01:45:00,240
who who do call me and tell me that
they've spotted out-of-state cars you

1067
01:44:55,990 --> 01:45:04,900
know but we need to be more judicious as
commissioners and how we respond to that

1068
01:45:03,040 --> 01:45:12,550
and how would give get it going
David I think it's gonna take a few days

1069
01:45:07,900 --> 01:45:16,300
to see how successful we are Monday
morning would they be too early for us

1070
01:45:14,500 --> 01:45:24,640
to gather information and get back with
you but early next week we'll probably

1071
01:45:21,400 --> 01:45:28,510
will need to talk about I didn't find
some of the things are essential and not

1072
01:45:26,530 --> 01:45:39,430
going to have a number of questions by
the end so you know I'll bet I didn't

1073
01:45:31,690 --> 01:45:44,080
lead on nothing maybe after they okay do
you think Wednesday or Friday I mean

1074
01:45:42,280 --> 01:45:50,860
like what I could keep saying this thing
keeps changing their daily if but we're

1075
01:45:48,640 --> 01:45:58,180
counting on your team to keep us updated
as to what's going on so from your

1076
01:45:54,610 --> 01:46:01,510
recommendation would you say Friday
would you say Wednesday I mean I realize

1077
01:46:00,310 --> 01:46:05,310
Monday is too soon
I mean it is for unit 4 lot of stuff

1078
01:46:07,160 --> 01:46:14,890
without that the finalist in our hand I
don't know really how to answer that

1079
01:46:14,930 --> 01:46:23,210
it's gonna take a little bit of time
we're gonna have free organize our whole

1080
01:46:19,280 --> 01:46:31,220
shift pattern now and do some things and
it's just probably Friday okay it was a

1081
01:46:28,880 --> 01:46:36,560
little bit of live in any one sure okay
well what we will do Sheriff as far as

1082
01:46:33,620 --> 01:46:41,420
some of this list we can talk to the
county manager over the phone and in

1083
01:46:38,630 --> 01:46:45,680
other ways to communicate and get some
ideas together from us as well as from

1084
01:46:43,790 --> 01:46:49,640
him as to what would what may be
entailed in that list and just keep you

1085
01:46:47,540 --> 01:46:55,190
federal that information so you have a
general idea of what's going on until we

1086
01:46:52,370 --> 01:47:01,400
meet and formalize it and the committee
can be anytime if we see something that

1087
01:46:59,090 --> 01:47:11,750
that's progressing or not addressing
them exactly I mean we've got to do the

1088
01:47:09,170 --> 01:47:15,020
communication thing what do they call a
lek tronic communications we've got it

1089
01:47:13,580 --> 01:47:19,880
we've just got to pick up on that and do
that that's but when they do when the

1090
01:47:17,090 --> 01:47:27,530
committee down two of us can go to that
yes about having a call public meeting

1091
01:47:23,830 --> 01:47:34,850
then if anybody felt comfortable on
going to there if I can see team meeting

1092
01:47:32,840 --> 01:47:40,490
your time I mean you have to go this
time to go and if we need to calm or

1093
01:47:37,640 --> 01:47:45,170
maintenance to get information to us it
needs to make the meet did any time a

1094
01:47:42,380 --> 01:47:50,930
couple others shouldn't probably go over
shouldn't we should yeah that is that's

1095
01:47:48,350 --> 01:47:54,430
personal call but one of the things that
I will ask you to do is coordinate that

1096
01:47:52,670 --> 01:47:59,020
with Cindy Cindy doesn't have enough to
now so we're gonna give her some more

1097
01:47:56,680 --> 01:48:04,240
today but coordinate that with Cindy so
that we don't we are not in violation of

1098
01:48:01,920 --> 01:48:08,950
law ourselves yeah
if mr. Chairman I I was under the

1099
01:48:06,280 --> 01:48:15,850
impression that we were going to meet at
1:00 o'clock Monday that this would give

1100
01:48:13,570 --> 01:48:22,270
us the weekend to see how this
supplement that we just passed went see

1101
01:48:19,210 --> 01:48:26,680
what clarifications we need on this
supplement to be able to give to the

1102
01:48:24,220 --> 01:48:29,740
Sheriff's Department and others so I was
of that impression that we had agreed or

1103
01:48:28,600 --> 01:48:33,430
we're going to meet at 1:00 o'clock
Monday is that we're going to make a

1104
01:48:31,780 --> 01:48:41,290
motion in just a minute as to when that
will be

1105
01:48:35,700 --> 01:48:48,280
and I think them coming to us with new
information or recommendations does not

1106
01:48:45,760 --> 01:48:52,870
supersede on our ability to meet any
time they want it and I just was under

1107
01:48:51,190 --> 01:48:56,620
the impression that seemed like the if
suddenly was I was thinking we were

1108
01:48:54,580 --> 01:49:01,090
leaning toward Monday and then I was
hearing that we started leaning toward

1109
01:48:58,270 --> 01:49:04,810
Friday and I I was confused possess all
we had been leaning toward Bundy good

1110
01:49:02,890 --> 01:49:08,410
clarification because I think one of the
commissioners gave the Monday date and

1111
01:49:06,580 --> 01:49:13,450
you know last time we acted on that
without even going any harder than that

1112
01:49:10,240 --> 01:49:18,010
and this is what I'm walk down with the
recommendation from our team to this

1113
01:49:15,700 --> 01:49:19,500
board for this board to make a
determination

1114
01:49:18,450 --> 01:49:24,930
[Music]
to me not an individual and the

1115
01:49:22,950 --> 01:49:30,960
recommendation and I have about meeting
on Friday were just so we could gather

1116
01:49:27,080 --> 01:49:37,650
more information about the order from a
young lady working

1117
01:49:33,500 --> 01:49:41,370
yeah I recommend we made on Monday as
commissioners would even if they don't

1118
01:49:39,510 --> 01:49:45,060
have this altogether that's fine because
my house equation in the form of a

1119
01:49:43,140 --> 01:49:50,970
motion I make a motion we leave Monday
at 1 o'clock okay thank you thank you

1120
01:49:48,600 --> 01:49:56,600
we've got a motion on the floor for a
meeting at Monday morning at 9 o'clock

1121
01:49:52,680 --> 01:50:05,220
what what 1 o'clock okay thank you
meeting on Monday at 1 o'clock and if if

1122
01:50:02,040 --> 01:50:07,980
the emergency team is not ready to come
to us they don't have to show for that

1123
01:50:06,510 --> 01:50:12,030
meeting we'll have some other stuff to
discuss okay

1124
01:50:10,470 --> 01:50:15,930
just something just think you guys
understand and that's my understanding

1125
01:50:13,200 --> 01:50:18,780
of this motion they might go yeah if
they don't have they need to probably

1126
01:50:17,430 --> 01:50:24,090
show up anybody because then we might
have some information they need I just

1127
01:50:22,470 --> 01:50:31,530
call I just I don't think we would have
your recommendations to change anything

1128
01:50:25,920 --> 01:50:36,930
on Monday bring you questions about okay
good yeah I've emotional before I need a
