[0:17] world
Robo just thank you and we argue for all
[0:20] that you're going in and then the wisdom
that you're given during this meeting
[0:24] and the thing that you're saying that to
us Lord let us take these things Lord
[0:28] and be able to make wise decisions today
and everything that we do we just we
[0:32] just plead Psalms 91 over our counting
of our citizens and all that are
[0:37] involved in this in Jesus name I pray
amen we will officially call the special
[0:45] session of the Swain County Board of
Commissioners March 27 nine o'clock we
[0:55] will call on the gunner if he will to
step forward and lead us in our players
[1:07] the United States of America and to the
Republic for which it stands one nation
[1:13] under God indivisible with liberty and
justice for all
[1:18] thank you sir
[1:28] this being would be talking about this
later on but first of all let me just
[1:35] save publicly that we're using a certain
number it's the health department's
[1:42] hotline number or anyone who wants to
call in ask questions or seek
[1:46] information so you can give a call two
four eight eight three one nine eight if
[1:54] they cannot answer the question you have
or the information you seek that call
[1:58] will then be referred to the people that
need to receive it and get you the
[2:03] information that we want you to know
that we're concerned about your
[2:07] questions and now you have a hotline
number on which to call thank you on
[2:17] these meetings we do not have a an
agenda rightfully so I think because we
[2:25] need to discuss a lot of stuff I want to
tell the public something that has
[2:32] happened I mean nothing serious but I
want people to understand that when the
[2:39] governor issued the state of emergency
for the state it kicked in to effect
[2:46] some new laws one of those laws is that
it set in motion
[2:51] our emergency team and our emergency
team which only advises us as
[3:00] commissioners but there on top of this
simply because they live it 24/7 and
[3:06] that's our Health Department our EMS
department our manager and our Sheriff's
[3:12] Department so that would be considered
that your emergency team at this
[3:18] particular point so if you have
questions call that hotline number but
[3:23] we will
sure that all of our management
[3:26] emergency team are in place and we trust
their judgment and they advise us so if
[3:33] there's any questions about that you can
give me a call my phone number is seven
[3:39] three six one eight seven six don't be
bashful about calling we'll answer any
[3:45] questions you have in the hope we hope
that we can provide you with the
[3:51] information you need what we will do at
this particular point is hear from David
[4:02] and Allison and see if we have anything
new going on
[4:06] so David would you mind okay that's fine
[4:18] yesterday approximately 2:15 2:30 the
state health director dr. Elizabeth
[4:23] Tilson and the director of NC emergency
management Mott Sprayberry
[4:26] did a briefing you may have all listened
to it or read afterwards
[4:32] yesterday afternoon there was 636 cases
in 57 counties the average age is 41 we
[4:41] have 50 hospitalizations and two deaths
only one of those deaths are actually
[4:48] reported in North Carolina the other one
is reported in Virginia for the state
[4:52] that they primary live in and the other
death had underlying medical conditions
[4:58] as well there have been approximately
15,000 300 lives completed and there are
[5:05] over 15,000 labs still pending with that
our labs they said anywhere from three
[5:13] to five days it is taking at least a
week to get those lab results back for
[5:19] those that are being tested in Swain
County the mic Sprayberry there the MC
[5:25] emergency management manager or director
excuse me said that 48 counties have
[5:30] yosi's activated 95 counties and EBC
have declared local states of emergency
[5:36] and there have been 2,500 resource
requests across the state he also did
[5:42] say that the White House granted
governor Roy Cooper's request late
[5:47] Wednesday for a federal disaster
declaration for the Cova 19 pandemic of
[5:52] North Carolina
this declaration provides public
[5:55] assistance to all 100 North Carolina
counties allowing local government state
[5:59] agencies and eligible nonprofits to be
reimbursed for costs involved in
[6:04] responding to the outbreak of code 19 as
it updates today we did email visit call
[6:13] motels hotels B&Bs campgrounds on Monday
we also sent that information to e BCI
[6:20] as well we are waiting on approximately
probably anywhere from five to ten labs
[6:28] to come back currently for Saline County
we were notified this morning we do have
[6:33] a positive in our County it is a
part-time resident they have been
[6:38] isolated since symptoms appeared and
then they were tested and went back home
[6:43] and they have not left their home since
then would you say that we're back home
[6:48] they went back home to their state no
sir they went back where they were here
[6:52] in Swain County
ok thank you
[7:00] any questions commissioners
[7:06] I had that person traveled out of it
let's assume they were infected out of
[7:13] the county do you know that information
I do not know that information they did
[7:18] travel here from another state and then
upon arriving here in the County started
[7:23] to show symptoms and then they were
tested you know how long they had been
[7:27] here
[7:40] mr. Chairman I have a question
show.allison when you called the lodging
[7:46] establishments and around in our County
what was their reaction to your home I
[7:50] guess I'm trying to get a sense of
community of cooperation or there was
[7:57] cooperation at my environment Holt staff
did the majority of it and they didn't
[8:01] have any pushback yeah I have to talk to
you a lot pretty much most doesn't they
[8:11] all called me things like that next day
and they were very corrupt it's about
[8:16] trying to get people out of their cabins
when I talk to like different captain
[8:21] rental places I just have one more
question and it's about testing who what
[8:31] when and where
I think the CDC and some of the National
[8:38] people are saying if you don't feel like
it don't get tested just stay home
[8:44] hunker down but my question is are there
a central people who really ought to be
[8:53] seeking a test and I'm I'm sitting here
thinking about the sheriff actually and
[8:58] some of the other people who will be
working within for the safety of the
[9:01] county I think in that in that aspect
the they're asking that health care
[9:10] workers be tested past that
[9:16] CDC issued some guidance and they have a
priority list we haven't shared that on
[9:22] our Facebook page but I know that Green
County did share it on theirs and it is
[9:26] health care workers and those who are
taking care of sick individuals that may
[9:30] have become sick themselves and those
that have been exposed because there's
[9:35] really not anything that you do
differently once you have that test
[9:39] other than if it is a health care worker
then obviously they wouldn't be working
[9:43] and I would assume we're not making an
assumption here and that's always
[9:47] dangerous but I would assume that also
people working with within senior
[9:52] citizen communities such as Mountain
View that kind of stuff but you're still
[9:59] talking about health care workers so uh
okay but I was just wondering and again
[10:08] it's to kind of calm the waters and not
issue panic but simply saying you know
[10:14] those who need to be worked with are
being worked with as far as the Health
[10:20] Department instance ah yes like Allison
said the test results are taken a week
[10:26] to come back and so by the time you get
it you should have been isolated anyway
[10:31] so regardless of whether your tests are
not the recommendation is that if you
[10:35] feel ill you isolate yourself and
there's no need to be
[10:40] to never see the doctor unless you get a
6 ok thank you thank you
[10:49] the only thing I have to announce is of
course you can call 2-1-1 to get
[10:54] information for food assistance paying
your rent utilities and basic
[10:58] information or you can text kovat and
see at 8 - or excuse me at 8 9 8 - 1 1
[11:05] to get regular updates by text is that
totally - 19 or is that just covert 19
[11:14] it's a bit nc okay I said nothing but
it's okay so we didn't see
[11:21] [Applause]
[11:32] thank you
[11:41] so since the warden was in place on
Monday we've received numerous calls
[11:46] we've tried to respond to each of those
calls you know a common sense method
[11:51] manner to to make them the criteria the
order Sheriff's Department yesterday
[11:57] started doing the spot checks I'll
cabins nicer if you were to do that
[12:02] they're just a little up they don't what
we have done since the declaration came
[12:10] out we we've checked a lot of cabins by
far there's a lot of cooperation by
[12:17] folks but there's always that little
number that's going to try to skirt
[12:21] around that declaration and they're
using the 30-day rental to try to do it
[12:28] yesterday we I didn't know this when we
had our emergency meeting yesterday so
[12:33] we were going to come back through all
the data we didn't have any more
[12:36] recommendations but I do have one is to
amend the declaration to say that no
[12:44] rentals be on the date of the
declaration that that will eliminate
[12:51] that skirting around that that 30-day
clause in the declaration Locke said our
[12:59] officers have been out
Winston yesterday we're going out again
[13:03] today we're gonna be checking we've told
them what was going to be back spot
[13:10] check and so far so good what what
brought on my recommendation to you
[13:16] though today I personally talked to one
of those rental agencies they've got
[13:21] their doors closed and but they had a
service number a customer service number
[13:26] on the door to call so I called and told
the lady that you know we were just
[13:32] checking to make sure that there was
there's renters were gone and she said
[13:38] well they are but we're gonna we're
gonna start the 30-day rental so that
[13:43] that's one against the spirit of the
Declaration
[13:46] just on another note we've checked
ingles IgA Bojangles Burger King and
[13:57] McDonald's early in the morning 7:00
7:30 8 o'clock and at those times there
[14:04] no out-of-state cars in any of those
businesses they're all North Carolina
[14:09] tags now that doesn't mean they're all
Swain County residents it could be here
[14:13] from somewhere else but the declaration
is working if this one takes a little
[14:19] time to get a full effect
but I'm again I'm gonna recommend that
[14:23] y'all go back and amend that 30-day
clause so we can can nip it in the bud
[14:30] as Barney five steps
[14:40] gentlemen let's go ahead no twisters go
ahead I'm sorry go ahead
[14:44] I'll also enter what the sheriff said I
do feel that the woman that is in place
[14:49] Mundy is working for Spokane I feel like
we've lesson to travel which is why the
[14:55] goal was in the beginning so I think
that is a really big picture working
[15:00] with state emergency management to
nuclear regional and statewide effort
[15:05] there's a big plan being built for
hospital surgery one estimate and we
[15:13] hope this is a highest is that that we
have 50% hospitals search which means it
[15:19] possible is a hundred natives
they'll need another feast again we hope
[15:24] that's the highest but we're working
with state and regional partners looking
[15:30] at sites to sit up search hospitals
should those be necessary the state has
[15:35] a volunteer hotline open I'm sorry I
don't have that number with me but I'll
[15:40] furnish that along to your hot line open
for health care workers to call it a
[15:44] volunteer to staff and Manly's things as
a five o'clock yesterday they had 500
[15:49] health care work would be feted that
they were licensed in North Carolina
[15:53] capable and qualified to work in a lot
of plants going on to this thing
[15:59] together you know worse than it is now
so as we look forward with probably keep
[16:05] that about well I thank you for that
David and I also I know that there are
[16:12] people out there who want to volunteer
I just have another name that I will
[16:17] send to you after this meeting who is
offering his services to volunteer and
[16:23] we've had others and I don't know if you
have you can assure them that they will
[16:28] be placed on that list or you know this
when needed call them yes the other
[16:34] thing we're doing locally is we're like
working
[16:37] hopefully we'll have it operational by
Monday we're looking to sit at the food
[16:40] donation side we're looking to have a
Family Resource Center someone who has
[16:45] extra food there's a little bit purchase
extra food to drop off they will
[16:49] distribute it as they did throughout the
county to people that world make of it
[16:55] they hopefully will have that
operational above them that day okay
[16:59] good regarding the food pantry and in
Burke County it appears that some are
[17:12] trying to work with us and let some of
the people who might call in Lois Lane
[17:16] County because they're not on the
reservation to get to the food pantry
[17:21] but I think that that Avenue is going to
be shut down so I'm going to get with
[17:28] you and let you just make some enquiries
and see where we are with that so we can
[17:32] advise our citizens who may be trying to
get up in that area and work with the
[17:37] food pantry itself they're a church so
work with the food pantry themselves and
[17:44] maybe getting some south into Swain
County where how when what needs to be
[17:50] all worked out so I'm just advising you
that that that may come down the pike as
[17:55] well and tag along - what - amber was
saying about health care workers the EMS
[18:03] staff have been advised if they have
well to do daily particular if they've
[18:08] been exposed theft checks on temperature
and any other symptoms I'm also told
[18:14] that's working with Mountain View Manor
that as their staff comes to work most
[18:18] of those are tested for temp tear and
spring with questions is that kind of
[18:23] working stuff so that we can keep those
folks such an exposure the EMS would be
[18:30] an exposure where the paramedic didn't
have on
[18:33] protective equipment come upon someone
unexpectedly they sneaked in his face or
[18:37] something like that if they're wearing
the protective equipment mask say she
[18:43] will blows again then that's not
exposure they consider protecting them
[18:47] so that each day their xsf monitor Tim
cure any other conditions they might
[18:52] have other places relatives what do you
personally do use your department
[19:00] personally have enough equipment and and
masks and gowns and stuff we have about
[19:08] a two-week supply I spoke with the state
officials yesterday part of this
[19:13] disaster declaration by the gunroom of
the state allows us to go directly to
[19:17] state to work immediately supplies and
the state can go to the federal
[19:21] government there is a supply being held
for EMS use and for a hospital use and
[19:28] that kind of thing
should we get the point where they have
[19:30] to start distributing there's supposed
to be a million masks to do people
[19:34] Carolina sometime this will equal to
first next week so we should alleviate
[19:39] Assembly's problems at that point the
other thing the decoration gives the
[19:45] county is the option of the absolutely
option of any overtime in the extra cost
[19:51] incurred any purchasing events directly
related to this - that's what the code
[19:59] of assistance part that Allison was
talking about whether that's the systems
[20:03] to local government agencies so early on
we asked the finest department start
[20:08] tracking purchases then and also start
writing overtime costs so at the end of
[20:14] the
I'll report federal government hopefully
[20:18] recruit something okay well then I think
that one of the reasons as you all know
[20:25] David that that this board agreed to the
state of emergency declaration was
[20:31] simply because the third section of it
at the third part of it was that we
[20:36] could get reimbursed for some of our
expenses without that signed declaration
[20:40] we can we would not be entitled to that
kind of thing so yes sir that's correct
[20:44] and when the president Truong approved
the governor's request yesterday for a
[20:48] federal disaster declaration that put
all that place we were really excited
[20:53] that you and and we hope that gave
either tools necessary to do just that
[21:01] okay so yeah okay thank you thank you
[21:10] anything else david from your team you
and okay so as you heard from the
[21:22] sheriff one of the items that the team
is requesting would be to amend the
[21:28] supplement first supplemental local
declaration of emergency to become
[21:33] effective the date so as of that date
established that they're only if you
[21:39] were in a 30-day rental program as of
that date then county you qualified but
[21:46] it but if not if you just if it's after
that then it would not and so that would
[21:51] be i would need that in like a form of a
motion and it will amend that document
[21:55] and have you resigned
okay let's back up for just a second on
[22:00] the sheriff's recommendation that this
amendment happened i just want people to
[22:08] understand how this verse with us we've
got a team in place and that team was
[22:14] put in place by the emergency
declaration by the governor and so we
[22:20] take your recommendations seriously we
still have to pass it as board of
[22:24] commissioners and usurping our authority
they are simply providing us with their
[22:29] basic knowledge of the county and what
will better serve the county and so i
[22:35] think we need to listen to it hear it
and move with it so that the manager
[22:43] also making it thank you sure with the
manager also making that recommendation
[22:48] do you have a an amended document in
front of you but that needs to be
[22:53] amended as i'm understanding that's
correct
[22:56] so what you have in front of these
different the first one is just an
[23:00] amendment and we can do that by a motion
and then we'll get an updated copy to
[23:06] you this is kind of something that
happened this morning
[23:09] didn't have time to amend actual fur
first one so but we'll get a updated
[23:14] copy to you but we can do it by motion
just stating that that became on the
[23:19] seventh day 17th day of March I'm sorry
it was Monday
[23:25] this past Monday sorry so we'll amend
that one to establish that that was the
[23:32] day that they had to be engaged in the
30-day rental program as of that day
[23:39] they had to be in a rental program for
otherwise as the share pointed out
[23:45] whereas succinctly they were trying to
get around the desk correct by adding
[23:50] now on to that rental to make it a
30-day Creek commissioners any questions
[23:58] on that
[24:02] hearing no questions I will entertain a
motion if you would like to add this
[24:07] addendum to the declaration mr. chairman
I'd like to add a member to the
[24:15] decoration that is I guess the date
would be Monday the 3:23 as of that date
[24:25] we're using that date right as the point
of 30-day rambles if you were not a
[24:31] 30-day rental on that date you're not a
30-day ring in other words they cannot
[24:36] go in even if they post dated or
predated the agreement and it's a good
[24:44] question that just popped into my mind
sheriff how do we how do we account for
[24:49] that if they if they landowner were to
if I were to sit down with someone today
[24:56] and wrote the 23rd in on the rental
agreement is there any way to do it
[25:04] would take a lot of vigilance on our
part to make sure that those people that
[25:10] we had saw I'm here
see what we can yeah I mean we're going
[25:13] to question those people and find out
exactly what they they did sign that
[25:18] agreement and then you know chips fall
where they follow that plan okay very
[25:23] good thank you
that was just clarification we have a
[25:27] motion on the floor to accept the
amendment as recommended by the chair
[25:31] and also the county manager that the
actual start date of any rental will be
[25:39] March the 23rd 3rd 2020 I need a second
second okay we have a motion in a second
[25:49] on the floor to accept this amendment to
the to the policy statement any
[26:00] questions regarding that from anyone
[26:04] all those in favor of this raise your
right hand
[26:09] okay pass unanimously
[26:16] okay anything else we've got a couple
folks I think for public comment oh okay
[26:24] do we have anything else right now
we have one of the documents that we
[26:28] want to share with you this is an
additional supplemental declaration of a
[26:35] local state of emergency it's in
addition to the one on the 23rd it's
[26:40] just for your consideration at
yesterday's meeting we really didn't
[26:44] discuss this particular document but in
a lot of some other information that we
[26:50] received last evening we had Kim Lee Kim
carpenter our county attorney cracked
[26:58] this and it basically this defines what
essential services are so a lot of
[27:05] definitions even though it's a large
document it kind of really good in depth
[27:08] about what essential services are what
can and can't be done during a stay home
[27:16] stay safe declaration like this I can
read the top top piece for the benefit
[27:22] of the public this is a supplemental
declaration of local state of emergency
[27:27] restricted movement of all individuals
living within Swain County the town of
[27:32] Russell City to stay at their place of
residence except that they may leave to
[27:36] provide or receive certain essential
services or engage in certain essential
[27:40] activities and work for essential
businesses and governmental services
[27:44] restricting all businesses and
governmental agencies to ceased
[27:48] non-essential operations requiring
public mobility within the locations
[27:52] within the county restricting all
non-essential gatherings of individuals
[27:56] and all non-essential travel and then
under Section number five it it kinda
[28:02] goes into leaving the home for essential
activities is permitted it's for health
[28:09] and safety for necessary supplies and
services for outdoor activity for
[28:15] certain types of work
to take care of others for the elderly
[28:21] and those who are vulnerable a health
care and public health operations a
[28:26] human services operations essential
infrastructure essential governmental
[28:33] functions essential business and
operations which includes stores that
[28:38] sell groceries and medicine foods
beverage and agriculture organization
[28:43] that brought charitable and social
services the media gas stations and
[28:49] businesses meeting needed for
transportation financial institutions
[28:53] hardware and supply stores critical
trades mail post shipping logistics
[28:59] delivery and pickup services educational
institutions laundry services restaurant
[29:08] for consumption off premises supplies to
work at work from home supplies for
[29:14] essential business and operations
transportation home-based care and
[29:18] services residential facilities and
shelters professional services childcare
[29:23] centers manufacturing distribution
supply chain and funeral services so
[29:29] coming real it goes in-depth and they
each one of those categories are defined
[29:33] on exactly what those entail this was
[29:41] it's a combination of a lot of different
best practices throughout the state
[29:45] there's about 15 entities throughout the
state currently that have a a shelter in
[29:52] place or state homes stay safe document
and so it's it's really taken from a lot
[30:01] of those different ones and putting it
that's gonna best fit swing county and
[30:06] so that's that's what this document does
if this is a supplemental to the one
[30:10] that you did on the 23rd and it's
basically just widely more defined with
[30:15] so we're bringing that to the board for
your consideration at this point and
[30:23] and I'm about any other any other group
to talk about it the need for it so do
[30:33] you think it's self-explanatory David is
that what to the county attorney crafted
[30:42] this document last night and I've read
through a little bit okay
[30:46] it looks very similar to what Haywood
County put in place this place there's
[30:51] very few changes the hay weekend it
allows for people to dinner in most
[30:57] trades most businesses most
organizations to continue to work it
[31:02] allows full access for all citizens to
go get groceries medicines supplies at
[31:07] hardware store construction items to
build houses with it allows all that as
[31:13] in able to canvas
there's not a lot of difference in this
[31:17] over than what raksi doing now it just
puts if you want a youth into it it's
[31:24] going to increase the sheriff's
unfortunately case load and he probably
[31:29] hopes to address that up sure so this
order is probably a good thing and I
[31:38] just say that based on when this
emergency is over did we do all we can
[31:44] do for slinky
[31:48] so essentially this is a stay home stay
safe order
[31:52] this is stay home sites they say forward
with enough exceptions for we can still
[31:57] fully function as the government as
families at home what exactly is a
[32:03] change that's in this then what we're
doing now just more people is gonna call
[32:09] the Sheriff's Department and tell them
to give checked out these people that's
[32:12] exactly what I read it pretty much lets
anybody work still go to work and it
[32:19] just recommends that they stay home if
they can and we're already doing that or
[32:26] recommending their buddy to stay home if
they can
[32:29] cuz as far as what I read like you said
construction workers can work businesses
[32:36] can work what restrictions would it
actually change that we're not what
[32:41] businesses are we actually talking about
that it would change it defines it more
[32:46] one that I know you've received a I
think I sent you a a communication from
[32:51] the Realtors Association they are not a
part of this so there you are not an
[32:58] essential service at this point because
they're bringing in people possibly from
[33:03] out of town that correct and so so
anyway they are not a part of the
[33:11] professional services so that's one one
category that you were probably hearing
[33:15] from but they are bringing in we've
witnessed it bring him foot from out of
[33:21] town even during this during this crisis
that are looking at houses in our
[33:24] community that are from out of state and
so with that being said that's why we
[33:30] eliminate it from the provisional
services that that segment of business
[33:35] Realtors would be able to show houses
virtually all the class show pictures
[33:40] show videos you know like
function everything except the place to
[33:45] face talk face to face but should
already be covered too because they
[33:51] should be able to work at home and it's
so there's anybody who can work at home
[33:55] so it should be covered about
recommending that they work at home and
[34:00] not bring anybody else here that they
don't have to from another state correct
[34:04] this document basically just defined
more about what is essential and what is
[34:09] not essential during this time of crisis
is there any more groups besides just
[34:15] realtors dude that's the one that kind
of jumps out at me on on the page and
[34:19] that's what a lot of kind of government
said North Carolina have I've kind of
[34:22] dabble around that I think that certain
governments have left them in as a
[34:28] professional service some of them have
taken them out for that particular
[34:31] reason that most of the folks that are
coming in or out of state and you don't
[34:38] know where they're coming from and and
what they're bringing with them so that
[34:42] was why that the majority of the county
to lift them out of the essential
[34:46] services but it does not make any sense
to me if they're gonna be bringing
[34:54] people in from out of county to even
have the rest of the staff
[35:27] retail spaces in town not restaurants
but no try to get lots and lots of what
[35:39] I believe most out of I'll re closed but
what does this order me I think of a
[35:46] banner needs to be I mean you could make
you could probably make a a stretcher I
[35:51] mean can be that it would be for
household members or delivery of those
[35:57] services or supplies to others such as
let's see groceries household consumer
[36:02] products so they wouldn't have to close
this with the I read doesn't really
[36:12] close anything but anything for the
folks that are here great and and let me
[36:20] ask a question and this goes back to
David and share if we were going to send
[36:27] into place this kind of thing who would
appear to me that the buildings that
[36:34] were begun on March 23rd should be
allowed to complete but no new bill why
[36:43] are we why are we leaving that gap there
I think this order allows construction
[36:52] to continue as these new buildings could
be constructed buildings could be
[36:56] completed that are
right I understand that David but I'm
[37:00] saying we set on the renters we said
Monday as the beginning of the how do
[37:10] they get how do we make sure that new
visit new buildings are not approved
[37:16] new buildings are not approved as of the
23rd and so they can bring in if if they
[37:24] get building permits they can bring in
workers to do the to do the job
[37:29] necessary to me this is a loophole that
people can look at and find and you know
[37:38] we're not doing anything about the stay
at home stay safe order we're opening it
[37:45] up in my mind but I'm sorry go ahead
I didn't mean to interrupt the three or
[37:50] four of these that I have read they
would welcome part of making burgers and
[37:55] this one I'll allow for construction
trade workers to continue to come to the
[38:00] County and work in an effort to keep the
economy going like stopping construction
[38:07] that would take a large number of folks
that live in Saline County put them into
[38:14] so I think that's the reasoning that
that's left in the construction trades
[38:20] allowed to continue that you new
construction be allowed to start and
[38:25] continue we can keep construction
riddance once they're finished by the
[38:31] building permit process we can hold all
the commune oh there's two tickets and
[38:35] completion technically until this
emergency is over so that no one could
[38:39] occupy your house you know if there was
a need for that
[38:45] if their workers were coming from
counties around us to build these houses
[38:52] it's coming from counties around us
there is exposure possibility yes right
[38:59] there is an exposure is there any way
that we could suggest if we have people
[39:06] out of work in Swain County we don't
need to bring importing other people if
[39:10] they can do the job that needs to be
done and we have the people in Swain
[39:14] County so my question is is there any
way to suggest that they hire in County
[39:19] rather than importing workers in to
Swain County in order to complete these
[39:24] projects mr. singer besides you probably
could answer this better than I can but
[39:30] I would guess that the majority of the
home construction in Swain County is
[39:34] done by workers within the two three
County radius that are being built right
[39:41] now are built by local contractors who
are local people there may be some subs
[39:47] that come out Jackson County and Macon
County but it's not like an overwhelming
[39:55] a load of people that are coming in here
for base of houses but there are people
[40:00] coming in I hear what you're saying
a hundred percent there's no way to rule
[40:05] out a hundred percent of anything coming
in just County then why are we doing
[40:08] this and any part because we're trying
to protect the 99 percent of Kings equal
[40:17] work it's not true we're trying to keep
people working the can work and there's
[40:24] others can mean there's people in this
county works another campaign and we're
[40:29] still allowed to have pretty short
as of now we've got people living out
[40:34] this County going to other counties to
work so it would be the essential sign
[40:38] as you shut it down people coming into
same one's going on scum could get
[40:42] something bring back in so there's like
there's just like not a hundred percent
[40:46] foolproof plan to like it working
hundred percent back to ten not do it
[40:51] because you can't get the hundred
machine you still gotta be able to do it
[40:56] much of which in other counties I know
Haywood County's one of those that we
[41:03] did not put in here is if a county
resident from Haywood went somewhere for
[41:08] three days when they came back there had
self quarantine we didn't have any of
[41:11] that in as well and I think that goes
along with it so if somebody comes in to
[41:17] work they're gonna be leaving that same
day and it'll be easily with a three
[41:22] County area so I think that was a
minimal risk versus somebody that was
[41:26] heaven yeah that was going back to like
and I was neighbors I did not agree that
[41:30] three County
you know there's no three County limit
[41:34] but but normally if somebody's farther
than that they're going to be spend the
[41:38] night here and it would be the staying
in place order we've had several people
[41:43] come in there's a group up on let's
build houses on the worker they have
[41:48] out-of-state folks
building those they stay there staying
[41:51] in swing Kenny now they have been for
over several months and they ask for
[41:56] variances to stay at the at a local
hotel which we granted because that was
[42:02] at the first order the hotel that's
going in down the street they all their
[42:08] workers are from out of state they're
staying at a local hotel so a lot of
[42:12] different things like that so I think
the people that are from way far off
[42:15] that are in Swain County Building are
already here have already received you
[42:20] know bear insists to stay here this
order would say okay we can't leave you
[42:26] know if you're here you can't leave if
you do you know okay so so I guess what
[42:32] I'm getting at with all of this is
simply the March 23rd a date now if the
[42:41] people have been vetted before that and
are in the county working that's fine
[42:46] finish your job I don't I'm saying that
if they are building something and they
[42:53] lose workers because of this and were
they how do we replace those workers
[43:00] what kind of bidding goes on do they
come in and are they under a period of
[43:08] time you know that they have to do that
the 14 days or you know you say I'm just
[43:15] kind of getting confused with all of
this wording going around and you know
[43:20] I'm just trying to get it to others
understood so the public can understand
[43:25] there's nothing in this document that
prohibit that that construction company
[43:30] from gathering other workers from other
parts of the state or the country to
[43:36] come in and work so that no it would not
do that because you're still you still
[43:41] have the potential to bring in people we
don't know what's going to take a place
[43:46] even if the pictures with just a second
even if the people came in and Alison's
[43:52] department said that you're under a 14
day quarantine limited or whatever they
[44:01] can only be on the jobsite they can't go
really anywhere else because they're
[44:06] under
quarantine and so it doesn't matter them
[44:09] we're from where they come well it does
but you know doesn't matter from where
[44:13] they come they would be immediately
placed under the quarantine they could
[44:18] go to work they can still work but that
quarantine I think is a very important
[44:23] part of this and in protecting our
citizens if indeed that's what we're
[44:26] saying we're trying to do the only thing
we could add to this is to limit the you
[44:33] know for if you want to put a two-week
moratorium on building permits we can
[44:41] you can look at doing that and that
would slow down the progression through
[44:46] this event Thank You Alison I do have a
question for you
[44:52] as we go into this and look at this is
there a possibility is it even possible
[45:00] to do such a quarantine on new workers
coming in who have not been bedded up to
[45:05] this point who are coming in after March
23rd they self quarantine or an issued
[45:15] quarantine is that even possible I don't
know
[45:23] I'm gonna say no one keeping track of
them and knowing who's coming into the
[45:29] county that would be virtually
impossible
[45:31] secondly the God it's now on quarantine
is somebody that's even positive for
[45:36] Kovac 19 their household is under
quarantine but they're only to
[45:41] self-monitor so they can still go out
and about in the community they don't
[45:46] have to stay home is what the new
guidance is now
[45:50] so if our citizens who may have been
exposed to Kovac 19 can go out and about
[45:57] in the county and did what they need to
do I'm not sure I can make an out of
[46:02] towner
something more stringent towards them I
[46:06] don't know that okay but again I don't
know how how we would do that it would
[46:13] appear to me that that the employer who
are bringing these people in would have
[46:18] to be in touch with you at the Health
Department just say they're bringing in
[46:23] new employees and to say that if they
self quarantine and quarantine is such a
[46:30] scary word anyway it's self monitor they
would self want to show themselves as
[46:34] work for fevers or respiratory problems
that's anything like that right so but
[46:40] it would appear to me that if the
Builder were concerned that they could
[46:45] work with you and when they bring in new
workers if they don't bring any new
[46:49] workers in a problem but when they bring
in new workers and new workers had no
[46:56] illnesses but still needed to stay
separate they're with their crews and
[47:05] I'm asking you because I don't know I
mean you know but it appears to me that
[47:11] something like that could be worked out
just for the new workers coming in
[47:15] been here working as a March 23rd that's
a possibility and even then I would
[47:22] actually refer it back to the building
department because they would know
[47:26] what's being bought and who's coming in
and what the contractors or who they're
[47:30] using more so than I would it would just
be on faith base for me if someone
[47:35] contacted me but Kevin and his office
would know but your resources and
[47:41] working with your resources that's what
I would hope you would do you know
[47:47] you've got you've got to the
coordinating build your team of trusted
[47:52] people and if that's the building
department it's the building department
[47:56] but to me the issue is the overarching
issue here is is there any way that we
[48:03] can build that and you do it any way you
do it anyway
[48:07] but is there any way that we can build
that just to ensure people ouais your
[48:14] people that we're kind of on top of that
I mean we can request that contractors
[48:23] notify us of anybody that's coming to
work from out of Rawson seedy swanky on
[48:29] the area we can do that as a voluntary
basis you can require it
[48:37] so that just depends on what action you
want to take okay but if we required it
[48:42] my question boils down to can you make
it happen we can we can pass it but can
[48:53] you make it happen once we do that
working with the building working with
[48:58] other people and just make the request
that they inform you if new work
[49:03] coming we can make a database of that of
people if the contractor will call us
[49:08] and notify us now when it goes past that
point that they do not notify us and
[49:13] you've required it then that goes to the
Sheriff's Department of the police
[49:17] department for citation because my
office would not be able to do that
[49:21] right I understand I understand what
your limitations are sheriff what's your
[49:26] take on that let me go back to the very
first about to stay home and stay safe
[49:34] okay I'm all for staying safe if you if
you all do issue a stay home slash stay
[49:43] safe it's going on a this way to love
these people that have no symptoms
[49:49] they're not ill they're not going to be
able to go to the drive-through they're
[49:55] not going to be able to carry out and
these businesses that are struggling
[49:59] they're gonna fail I mean there's babies
they're relying on on those people to
[50:05] frequent for business and bring money
here my opinion my opinion I agree with
[50:11] the stay safe and that's common sense
right and instead of making an a
[50:18] declaration you might want to consider
making a suggestion or recommendation
[50:24] without making it an order now takes a
lot of burden off with us all so that
[50:30] happens I mean we're gonna do our job
but you know first thing you're gonna
[50:36] overload wagon I agree with that one
thing so
[50:44] one of the things is food food beverage
in agriculture so they will be able to
[50:49] still go to the doctors just like they
are anyway pretty much yeah this all
[50:53] this order really does is define it more
and and exempt non-essential services
[51:00] which we've talked about the one that
kind of jumps out to me is the real
[51:05] estate but as far as everything else
it's pretty much exactly what it is now
[51:10] and it does encourage people to stay
home encourage people to do social
[51:17] distancing and be mindful of their
surroundings so that this basically just
[51:23] puts in paper I think what what's your
what message you want to convey you know
[51:29] we think it's best for you to stay home
we think it's best for if you do go out
[51:32] you can go here here here and you're
relatively you know as long as you have
[51:39] social distancing should be just our
recommendation so what is a
[51:46] recommendation but it's more of a you
know order at the same time where you
[51:53] have and like and want and people have a
certain level of security knowing that
[52:00] the government is looking out for their
best interests
[52:06] okay we have a motion in a second on the
floor it's time for thanks Sheriff Thank
[52:11] You Alison it's time for either further
discussion or
[52:24] that was the May 23rd orbits evening
March 23rd okay like this I haven't seen
[52:32] in there anywhere we're having a lot of
folks concerned about County buildings
[52:39] should that be a part of this if you
consider that if you look at
[52:43] non-essential services for governmental
part course they do they're pretty much
[52:49] bottled in to found with this order we
will be closing the courthouse functions
[52:54] which would be the tax office pressure
deeds and the DMV lots of played agency
[53:01] we don't know at this point how long
right now I would suggest at least 14
[53:08] days starting Monday this billing course
will be closed essential services are
[53:15] going to be your sanitation any public
you know public safety official quarter
[53:20] to me essential services the folks that
are in this building would be working in
[53:25] their office disclose to the public and
we will have our all the policies of
[53:31] protocols for social distancing put in
place with my have to do staggered you
[53:36] know staggered staffing to to help us
through this protective order so with
[53:42] that closing the tag office Francis
would you still allow a number on the
[53:48] door and people one person in to do
business at a time right we can look at
[53:54] different protocols whatever whatever
y'all would not really receive any
[53:58] notification from the DMV we are a
contractor for the DMV so we have to
[54:03] kind of go by some of their guidelines
and so we'll touch base with them to see
[54:08] if that would even be possible it may
just be need to be closed for two weeks
[54:13] and then Rio
but we will check with them first and
[54:16] give just to see but if that's a
possibility yes
[54:20] yeah and that was gonna be my question
as well I have received if someone says
[54:27] we got ten calls I wish I don't have
gotten ten calls but but the question
[54:32] was if they are a senior citizen have
other vulnerabilities and they don't
[54:40] want to come to town to renew their
vehicle what did they do so I guess my
[54:49] question is unless the state does it we
can't extend for them any time so the
[54:57] state would have to hand down hand that
down to us and with them as you're
[55:01] talking about the office but you know
all of the other stuff as well so yeah
[55:06] as far as policy goes we are just number
87 of the license plate agency or AOPA
[55:13] and we are a contractor just like a lot
of counties and and private businesses
[55:19] don't State North Carolina are so we got
to go by their policies and procedures
[55:22] the only thing we can do and in this
course of state of works that we can and
[55:26] probably close the office but as far as
you know going out to the public or big
[55:31] stuff by phone normally with that
particular office we have to have you
[55:36] know the title in hand face to face and
unfortunate that that's just the way the
[55:42] nature of that business
[55:49] anything
[55:54] anyway
[55:58] I've read through some of this just
skimming through it I thought you'd
[56:02] really pretty much legs out a lot of
stuff that we that it kind of puts words
[56:07] to thoughts because we don't I don't
know what essentially as you say
[56:11] essential it was kind of so I think this
is what this is doing I think we need to
[56:16] look at it I have an order and not just
a suggestion because I don't all kinds
[56:22] of suggestions but effect orders are
what we're here for
[56:27] we just suggest things that I don't know
if that's really got any backbone the
[56:33] teeth to it at all and that there won't
be a lot I don't think of people that'll
[56:37] be completely out of compliance with
this if they are they want to deal with
[56:42] it when we when we get there I think
it's just one of the things we don't
[56:47] know exactly what something is gonna
look like but bactine keep us from
[56:53] trying to do what we knows right
[57:01] since we're gonna have a motion in a
second on the floor like this that's the
[57:05] next step when we have not seen this so
we cannot act on today so would it carry
[57:16] over to the next meeting when we decide
to meet our next regular meeting or you
[57:22] can I know you've not seen it now and we
can take talent if you don't then go
[57:27] through each part of it since it is an
emergency document you can't act on it
[57:34] today or maybe an emergency document and
we could act on it today but I don't
[57:41] understand it and I don't want to act on
anything I don't know I
[57:46] you can call a meeting Monday if that's
what you prefer and and do it then or
[57:53] one day next week
and I've said that for myself let me ask
[57:59] the rest of the permission of the other
commissioners have their breathing aids
[58:02] on i'll miss Sherman I'll start if you
want me to on this side of the table
[58:08] this is the Supplemental declaration of
locals state emerge it has to do with
[58:14] restricting movement of all individuals
living within Swain County the town of
[58:18] Grasse City stay at their place risk
accepting someone goes on and then it
[58:22] explains what those are I don't
necessarily have an issue with that
[58:27] whatsoever in us passing that today and
then I would think that we would
[58:32] actually been to go ahead and meet again
early next week as well to continue to
[58:36] be updated and continue to see how
everything that we are putting into
[58:41] place is working this time to receive
concerns from citizens to turn over to
[58:47] the Sheriff's Department of Health
Department County government
[58:51] I for one myself think this just
explains what we're trying to do anyway
[58:56] so myself mr. Chairman I would be in
favor of going head and voting on this
[59:02] at this meeting this morning and
mr. commissioner if I may say we can
[59:09] come back if we run into problems and
amend it anyway so it's not really
[59:14] locked in or locks in
we can come back and amend it should
[59:18] that mean I think you're absolutely
correct we've already made an amendment
[59:22] for muddies meaning to this one and so
if we whatever day we choose next week
[59:27] Tuesday Monday Tuesday whatever the
first part of week we'll have three or
[59:31] four days here at two or three days too
however whatever they we choose to to
[59:36] reassess what we've done so I think it
shows a for me I think it shows the
[59:43] citizens we're working and trying to
stay on top of this I think by passing
[59:48] this supplemental declaration of
restriction of movement would be prudent
[59:54] for us to do that's my opinion also as
I'm speaking though it also understand
[1:00:02] it's there it is a class 2 misdemeanor
to violate these laws in a talk to
[1:00:11] sheriff Cochran and that goes on your
record and you pay a fine so we we that
[1:00:18] we want people to take this seriously as
well well and I think that that's a very
[1:00:23] good point commissioner that you've
raised we're not just sitting here
[1:00:29] because we don't have anything else to
do today we are concerned about the
[1:00:33] safety of the county and the people and
we do want them to take it seriously and
[1:00:38] I think you're absolutely right
I agree with Roger I think we need to go
[1:00:44] and get this thing in place if we're
gonna get it in place come back I'd say
[1:00:48] we made again Monday morning and I am on
that and then I say we get it meet again
[1:00:53] at least by maybe Wednesday maybe two or
three times a week because these things
[1:00:58] changing every day and we got we got to
be ahead at this end of this game
[1:01:02] we can this I don't think there's
anything you're about to come back and
[1:01:06] just really destroy this and dig
something different it's it's gonna be a
[1:01:11] little mimics like the one we've done
today the date for the third of they
[1:01:15] rentals that's we didn't see that in our
last time so we put in there so I'm
[1:01:21] gonna Green looks weird we we both on
this day and get it going as an
[1:01:25] ordinance or a amendment tubular well
I'm gonna greement also I would say that
[1:01:31] if we need time to sit here and go
through this for an hour I just don't
[1:01:47] see that it explains everything as well
as everybody says it does because we've
[1:01:51] asked questions already about what the
essential things are what it's going to
[1:01:57] change that we haven't gotten place now
I don't believe we're gonna be able to I
[1:02:02] don't like restricting movement I don't
like the way that even sounds understand
[1:02:09] but we all are taking this serious I've
got family members also that are in
[1:02:17] danger higher risk of this but I I do
not see that this does anything
[1:02:23] different than what we've already done
pretty much and I wish people would just
[1:02:29] be considerate of us when it comes to
coming from towns or cities of other
[1:02:38] states here they're not being considered
to us the only reason I could even vote
[1:02:45] for the other part because the nura
knows was because people weren't being
[1:02:50] considerate of us we don't have the
facilities to deal with the earthy we do
[1:02:57] not need a flow of people here and but I
do not see that this does anything
[1:03:04] really different and I've read it and
it's look no any different than even
[1:03:11] what the governor said
the sensual businesses and stuff already
[1:03:18] yeah and I have to agree I think we're
doing this and you know if I may
[1:03:23] disagree with you Danny for just a
second
[1:03:26] I don't think sitting here reading it
going over it line by line really
[1:03:29] captures us going home thinking about it
until the next meeting because ideas and
[1:03:38] things formulate in your mind and when
you're trying to even defend or argue
[1:03:46] your point of view takes everything away
then you're not concentrating on this
[1:03:50] anymore because then you wind up in a
disagreement that is so unnecessary so
[1:03:56] okay I think we've discussed sure one of
the comments just so our emergency teams
[1:04:03] at yesterday's minute did not come up
with this document in fact we we were
[1:04:09] kind of up to consensus that what we
were doing was working it is working it
[1:04:14] is working it what kind of breakfast a
lot is what David talked about earlier
[1:04:21] about the State Emergency Management
ramping up their efforts to create
[1:04:28] regional hospitals because they see a
possible surge in this event and so
[1:04:36] that's really what prompted us to create
this document and it's mostly is
[1:04:42] defining what non-essential services are
you're correct it's not really expanding
[1:04:48] much about it but it's a template moving
forward when we do have to add things to
[1:04:54] it
the framework is there it's already in
[1:04:58] place it's already establishing what
technically it's already here so that
[1:05:01] that's why we're bringing it to you sure
now no this is a supplement I understand
[1:05:05] that
Roger raised the point that I wanted to
[1:05:08] ask the fines and that kind of thing
does it need to be in the supplement
[1:05:15] since it
in the original document as far as the
[1:05:19] relative properties no no as far as if
you don't say at home and there's
[1:05:25] somebody that decides to report you what
you create what you're causing I found
[1:05:31] the last page of this document my
question is it does sound art but to
[1:05:40] reiterate and to really to reiterate
what it what it would cost the
[1:05:48] individual to violate it
we've already got that but it was only
[1:05:53] for their rental it's not for the stay
in place okay
[1:06:05] and again you know seeking
clarifications of people who are
[1:06:10] listening or we hope we've been clear
we've gone through a lot of stuff and so
[1:06:15] I'm back and forth but here there are no
more discussion issues with this I will
[1:06:25] entertain a motion to adopt the
supplement I'll make a motion that we've
[1:06:31] got the supplement declaration of local
state emergency order okay I need a
[1:06:42] second I'll second okay we've got a
motion in a second on the floor to adopt
[1:06:47] the Supplemental four addendum to the
server
[1:06:52] one other thing I'm sorry this will go
in effect at 8:00 p.m. tonight hear that
[1:07:00] and if we want to put it into effect I
was going to affair today I don't know
[1:07:04] why or so okay okay so we have a motion
in a second on the floor to adopt the
[1:07:10] supplement or addendum to the
original whatever you call it state of
[1:07:18] emergency
[1:07:22] do any other any other discussions
if not then if you agree I want to ask
[1:07:31] you to raise your right hand and that's
for if you disagree please raise your
[1:07:39] right hand
okay so it's four to one but this is
[1:07:43] past
[1:07:48] okay anything else on dish or rounders
can I ask this whoever this was been
[1:08:01] quarantined that positive tested what
was there is there other people that are
[1:08:06] 14 with them I was wondering how this
quarantine works I know if you
[1:08:14] quarantine one person does anybody there
hasn't contact with them I also get
[1:08:19] quarantine it's not coordinated be self
monitoring we we would try to get a list
[1:08:25] of anybody that's been in contact with
this person and notify them just to self
[1:08:30] monitor and take note of that basically
there is family with this person and
[1:08:37] they are not to my knowledge so any any
signs or symptoms at this time okay I
[1:08:42] was just coming so we're group also
talked about and I know y'all I've had
[1:08:49] some discussions about closing borders
and things like that so just let you
[1:08:55] know for the public's benefit that we
are looking at all aspects at this point
[1:09:00] we've determined it would take 48
deputies to to do man stops at each one
[1:09:06] of error in the county so we don't have
one we don't have the lift the fork the
[1:09:11] second we did go out for an RFP for
emergency silence and road closure I
[1:09:18] guess equipment and so just to make sure
we have it I think it was going to be
[1:09:24] $30,000 for a two-week period to close
the roads so just FYI we we are we do
[1:09:32] have the capability if this board
chooses to do so as far as not not the
[1:09:37] manpower but to do road closures at some
point and just one less you know we are
[1:09:43] looking at all aspects of this event
and process and but that's not a
[1:09:51] recommendation of the very our group I
want to let you know mr. Chairman I
[1:09:59] would also like for us together I think
we did a good job last Monday of getting
[1:10:04] the supplement out that we pass at that
time to all the different sources for
[1:10:11] people to be able to see and I suggest
we did the same thing make sure that it
[1:10:14] gets out to every kind of about late'
agency so that people can read this
[1:10:20] supplement and see what it is that we
just passed see what watch restricted
[1:10:25] and what is not restricted and I think
that's very important thing get that out
[1:10:30] there and put it on our government page
smoking that sometimes all of it all
[1:10:36] access to it with that since it's a
longer document we recommend posting on
[1:10:42] the actual website and we can post a
link to the website because you have to
[1:10:47] scan it in on the Facebook and it's too
large for that and it's hard to read
[1:10:52] thank you did you say what you wanted or
something just yes sir I just want to
[1:10:58] get it out there I just want this to be
available dark yeah we're looking at
[1:11:02] clerk and say that that falls within her
bailiwick and she should be able to get
[1:11:07] this out where it needs to go okay
any other questions
[1:11:16] if we are going to meet next week first
of next week I would ask that we meet at
[1:11:20] 10:00 or after lunch this just gives us
a little more time to meet as agreed but
[1:11:25] the thing has happened over the weekend
or that we can bring any recommendations
[1:11:29] to you yeah
well I really appreciate you saying that
[1:11:32] because I feel the same way it's one
thing to let public know that we're on
[1:11:37] top of all this or that we're involved
in it's another thing to give you guys
[1:11:41] time to do due diligence so so I agree
with that and you can I think we can do
[1:11:49] that a little bit get time for the team
I guess
[1:11:53] [Music]
[1:11:59] one o'clock please okay so we have not
set a time yet but just keep that in
[1:12:06] mind when you get around to setting the
time for our next meeting okay anything
[1:12:11] else around this issue if not we do have
some people who want to speak to us and
[1:12:21] so understanding chair go ahead
were you gonna get somebody I think
[1:12:34] we're ready
next item public a barn I need to go is
[1:12:39] there any other questions before we head
out thank you guys for staying on top of
[1:12:47] this thank you for having all the house
a couple times I appreciate the info so
[1:12:52] you're gonna good job okay
my name is Cynthia wama I'm a resident
[1:13:04] of Swain County I sit to each of you an
email
[1:13:07] the commissioners this week an email
expressing my concerns about the county
[1:13:11] and and also thanking you for all that
you've done so far the declaration on
[1:13:16] Monday you just passed a supplemental to
that I do share the same concern you
[1:13:23] have mr. Partin on exactly what changes
I'm not sure there's a single business
[1:13:28] in Swain County that will close because
of this declaration as being
[1:13:34] non-essential it seems pretty broad and
that seems to be what happening in the
[1:13:37] other counties I do want to like said
thank you it's amazing to see our
[1:13:41] community come together the way it has
right now I mean neighbors helping
[1:13:45] neighbors strangers helping each other
at a time of crisis we do have a lot of
[1:13:51] people in need in our community we have
a lot of people out of work we also have
[1:13:55] a lot of resources with our food bank
here in Bryson City with restoration
[1:13:59] house with the caring corner with all
our churches coming together I am just
[1:14:04] astounded by what our school district
has been able to do in a very short
[1:14:09] period of time to completely change
their mode of operation
[1:14:14] in all ways and still have services
going to our folks the health department
[1:14:20] our first responders I mean it is just
amazing to me and like said I do I do
[1:14:26] want to thank you all of you for what's
happening there and then I asked them we
[1:14:31] not forget those folks who are in those
essential businesses like our grocery
[1:14:34] workers that our pharmacists and health
care all of those who are out there some
[1:14:40] of very low paying jobs working their
butts off literally to make sure that we
[1:14:45] have food it came to my attention
earlier this week that one of our local
[1:14:52] citizens had started a petition to close
the borders of Swain County to anyone
[1:14:58] and I know you just addressed that here
and said the emergency management team
[1:15:04] had already looked at that and what it
would cost and what it would take in
[1:15:07] terms of manpower I I know that that
petition does have a lot of signatures
[1:15:12] on it right now from Swain County
residents but I wanted you to know that
[1:15:16] not all Swain County residents believe
that's the right way to go I can only
[1:15:20] speak for me I don't have a petition but
I can tell you that I don't believe it's
[1:15:25] the right way to go and I think that I
would rather have our scarce resources
[1:15:30] that we have in our County whether
that's our law enforcement whether it is
[1:15:36] anyone else who works for the county
spent on other positive things than
[1:15:43] trying to keep out somebody who we don't
even know who or what they are at a time
[1:15:50] when we are part of a larger community
we Swain County don't stand alone in
[1:15:56] Western North Carolina as several have
you brought up during the meeting we had
[1:16:02] people in Swain County who work in other
counties we have people in other
[1:16:08] counties who are essential personnel in
our County they are our school teachers
[1:16:12] they work at Ingalls they are people who
are pharmacists they're everything their
[1:16:18] health care if one person crosses it's a
porous border
[1:16:24] we also haven't talked about the people
that would need to get through our
[1:16:28] County to get to other places whether
that is to Graham County to Macon County
[1:16:33] to Cherokee County wherever it is they
would need to go and how those people
[1:16:38] would be taken care of are we really
going to stop everybody at the border of
[1:16:42] Swain County and check their temperature
oh wait that doesn't work either because
[1:16:46] you can be asymptomatic and already have
covin 19 so I just wanted to say I don't
[1:16:53] agree with that and that I think that
we're stronger together with the other
[1:16:57] counties in Western North Carolina and
that we shouldn't try to go this alone
[1:17:01] we need to be a team with Jackson and
Swain and with Jackson and Graham and
[1:17:06] Macon and remember that we are all
neighbors we have families in those
[1:17:11] counties we have friends in those
counties we have Church family members
[1:17:16] in those counties we have co-workers in
those counties they're not the enemy we
[1:17:21] should let them come to our ankles in
shock we shouldn't say you can't and
[1:17:25] they should allow me to go to Lowe's if
I need something that for some reason
[1:17:29] Clampetts doesn't have they have almost
everything but if they do not have it I
[1:17:34] ought to be able to go to Lowe's in
Jackson County and get it I don't want
[1:17:38] them and tell me I can't do that and I
don't want here for us to be saying you
[1:17:43] are others you're not important enough
we only care about people who actually
[1:17:48] have Swain County on their driver's
license I think that's the wrong message
[1:17:52] to send at a time when the nation is in
crisis we need to be caring we need to
[1:17:58] be safe we don't want people spreading
but we need to do it in a way that's
[1:18:04] compassionate thank you very much thank
you
[1:18:25] good morning good morning um so I've
timed myself to my three minutes so good
[1:18:32] morning to state your name for the
record
[1:18:36] oh yes my name is Kellie mark I'm a 26
year old citizen currently residing in
[1:18:41] Whittier and I've been living here since
the age of three twenty-fourth I drew up
[1:18:50] a petition to get his swing Jerry Porter
disclosed my opinion was formed after
[1:18:55] the cloture of Qualla boundary Green
County and most recently Highlands and
[1:18:59] deciding this is best for our local
communities what the most recent news of
[1:19:04] the US having the highest a minute of
reported cases in the world
[1:19:08] I believe the virus has already made and
since been confirmed that it is in our
[1:19:12] town at this moment it does not matter
how it got here
[1:19:16] it's matters how we're going to stop the
spread or flatten the curve I've had
[1:19:21] three popular opinions on why closing
the border is a bad idea people can't
[1:19:25] get to work or visit family they cannot
go to the grocery store or pharmacy or
[1:19:29] doctor and that we've already closed all
parks and short-term rentals which
[1:19:32] should alleviate the mass amounts of
visitors that we do have I was
[1:19:36] optimistic on Tuesday and Wednesday when
both announcements were made the grocery
[1:19:40] store traffic was much less than Monday
and it actually found some ground beef
[1:19:44] my response to these challenges number
one if your job is essential you will be
[1:19:49] able to travel in and out of counties
this is what Grand Cherokee and
[1:19:52] Highlands are doing and I cannot see why
we would be any different - if our
[1:19:56] borders which shut down that does not
mean no one can cross the line ever it
[1:20:00] simply means that the entrances will be
limited to the locals of Sling County
[1:20:04] and similar to a routine traffic check a
driver's license
[1:20:07] long term rental agreement or a job ID
are just a few of the options that I
[1:20:11] imagine could get us through the border
and as previously mentioned with your
[1:20:15] addendum to the declaration that covered
my third point on that part with the 30
[1:20:20] day as a Monday so turning to turning
away visitors is the last thing that I
[1:20:25] want to do right now but at this moment
Phil it's in our best interest to do so
[1:20:28] and if all surrounding counties are on
lockdown our citizens cannot get in but
[1:20:33] their citizens can come into our County
and use our resources and possibly
[1:20:37] expose us even more I know that our
staff is limited as well as our
[1:20:41] resources and what there being many
entrances in and out of swing county
[1:20:45] have attempted to come up with the
simplest solution we would need a total
[1:20:48] of five closed roads three manned
blockades located at exit 67 which is
[1:20:53] the main exit Markey Hyatts garage
catching all traffic coming off exit 64
[1:20:58] as well as those traveling back roads
like lower Larkin Road and Buckner
[1:21:01] branch and highway 19 at the pull off
just past Darnell farms and Walker would
[1:21:05] erode catching traffic from ela and
Hiatt Creek exit and then the two
[1:21:10] unmanned blockades located at the east
side of Old River Road allowing
[1:21:13] residents to access the west side and on
Tom Branch Road if galbart Creek which
[1:21:17] limits accessibility through Deep Creek
I truly believe the sooner we take
[1:21:21] action and the sooner we get back to our
normal lives and routine I've printed
[1:21:26] out a copy of what I've said today as
well as a copy of the petition that give
[1:21:29] to you and I ask that you please
consider this in all information and the
[1:21:32] upcoming decisions that need to be made
I would like to thank you for your time
[1:21:36] I suppose everything that you have done
for a community as far as the outbreak
[1:21:41] of the corona virus I know myself as
well as others really appreciate your
[1:21:47] time and effort to help our community
and they have these I just a couple
[1:21:54] copies you would give them to the clerk
please thank you very much thank you
[1:22:14] okay commissioners you heard we need to
comment
[1:22:21] I appreciate them saying how much they
appreciate you know we're all on this
[1:22:27] bubble together and you know we're
learning as we go as well as they are
[1:22:32] everyone else and so I guess when I ask
questions I want people to understand
[1:22:38] that I'm trying to get clarification if
I understand it I'm sure the public
[1:22:41] would understand so that's part of what
it is gentlemen do you have anything
[1:22:46] else to add to assist the sheriff and
all of us I guess in my thought process
[1:23:04] the owner would put in Monday and the
only bid or an effort to restrict the
[1:23:10] movement and what's happening it doesn't
sound bad we should agree with our goal
[1:23:18] they 100 city was successful we are not
know if we can stop 75% of it I would
[1:23:25] say that's highly successful so as the
citizens in the county are thinking
[1:23:31] about the orders that we have in place
that started to make phone calls you
[1:23:34] know understand that we're getting the
most of the traffic stopped we have so
[1:23:39] far we've heard what the sheriff site
and then surveys in looking there's not
[1:23:43] as many out-of-state cars here which is
our available so the citizens the county
[1:23:49] if we can ask them to have a little
patience as we're going through and and
[1:23:53] they start they see someone think
shouldn't do you they're gonna call and
[1:23:56] say with somebody you know if it's a
concern absolutely
[1:24:00] but at the same time if they would give
us some time to make this work and with
[1:24:06] the understanding that we are not gonna
be a hundred percent successful well
[1:24:11] thank you
[1:24:16] we are definitely an unchartered water
this is kind of learn as you go
[1:24:23] situation hopefully if we ever have to
face this again we'll have things in
[1:24:28] place that that will eliminate a lot of
this these meetings trying to to get
[1:24:35] plans and procedures in place but I
appreciate you all to God I mean you've
[1:24:41] worked hard trying to do what you
think's right for Swain County and we're
[1:24:46] gonna we're gonna do our best try to
fulfill those orders let you put out I
[1:24:54] think we're gonna be a better County
when this is over with I think we're
[1:24:59] gonna come together we're going to grow
and just be better for it
[1:25:04] well let me think you and I will and I
think David but let me die and your crew
[1:25:10] your staff and deputies because we could
pass anything we want to pass but if we
[1:25:17] don't have anybody to go out and enforce
it then it doesn't do us any good so
[1:25:21] we're counting on you and depending on
you
[1:25:24] and waiting on you to come back with
good advice I thought that was an
[1:25:29] excellent recommendation this morning
and we thank you very much David that
[1:25:35] takes nothing away from your crew or
your staff because we know that
[1:25:41] emergency responders emergency personnel
are they literally are on the not the
[1:25:49] front line but they're on the line and
they are we need to try to ensure that
[1:25:55] they have all of the equipment that they
need in order to respond to the citizens
[1:25:59] of Swain County so we thank you and
Allison and anyone else our manager who
[1:26:06] is involved in this and helping us and
guiding us I think that the emergency
[1:26:11] team is in place so we don't make any
knee-jerk reactions or emotional actions
[1:26:16] that we do what is better for the county
and you know your recommendations dumas
[1:26:23] time to sit and think about what's going
on so I thank you baby
[1:26:29] you have anything to say I just got one
question it's not here to come up with
[1:26:34] lots of questions I think I just had I
just had a text from someone and again
[1:26:40] we're gonna get I think barrage with
calls about essential services is there
[1:26:47] some place we should refer them to call
to have that help me to find a princess
[1:26:55] I have a text from someone that mows
lawns are they considered an essential
[1:27:00] service how are we going to define all
this we got to take it one at a time or
[1:27:09] how we're going to do that these people
are this person is serious and wanting
[1:27:15] to know it's a livelihood issue for them
also
[1:27:23] and the answer your question I will have
to go back and look at the essential
[1:27:27] part I know other counties have kind of
toured with that that the lawn mowing
[1:27:33] landscaping businesses in my mind they
are essential services because you you
[1:27:39] know that would go
it's a executive a health related part
[1:27:44] if it didn't get done then you could
have possibility of rodents things like
[1:27:49] that so it's so many so in my mind it
would be essential yeah I think Kim left
[1:27:54] that out so so basically it is an
essential service from air wouldn't a
[1:27:59] standpoint there are other counties that
thought it was not an essential service
[1:28:03] and therefore they they put a stop to it
because there would be more than three
[1:28:08] or four people in a truck going to a sod
and that was their logic but I think we
[1:28:13] left it out I think that I think it's
part of our essential services but in
[1:28:17] going forward we're going to get I think
the wrong Falls and then a lot of
[1:28:22] complaints about will you love that one
work in this is there an opportunity to
[1:28:27] set up we have committed ourselves we
have one Danny I'm sorry okay we have
[1:28:32] one the health department hotline for
eight eight three one nine eight they
[1:28:39] can call and get those kind of questions
if the person on the phone cannot answer
[1:28:44] that question they would either go to
Kevin or or even David or Alison herself
[1:28:50] so so yes the four eight eight three one
nine eight also I think that if we feel
[1:28:59] that the words Lynne what you call it
the people that mow the lawns take it
[1:29:09] for essential care or for they help the
landscaping thinking we need to get that
[1:29:16] if we if if it's important then we need
to come back and amend our thing and in
[1:29:22] in there doesn't mean that we can do
that for everyone but I think that I
[1:29:27] agree that it is an essential thing
because grown longer tired snakes
[1:29:33] well I think we can make it arbitrary to
where people can plead their case okay
[1:29:42] sure
miss Jennifer gonna enforce an order we
[1:29:47] we can have knee-jerk reactions so I
need a very specific list of those
[1:29:54] people that that are considered
essential I know some of them are listed
[1:29:58] here but I don't I don't want my
officers going out and having to make a
[1:30:03] decision on side saying oh I'm sorry you
you can work or sorry you can't work so
[1:30:09] I need that list now that's what we're
gonna go by well then thank you very
[1:30:13] much Sheriff and I agree with you as
well that it's our order it's our we put
[1:30:18] it in place and so if that will help you
better do your job that's what we'll do
[1:30:23] so and I see the manager
nodding his head so I think he agrees
[1:30:28] and he will come back to us at our next
meeting with some recommendations and
[1:30:32] thank you for the coffee Joey
I do have something though I know there
[1:30:37] are other emails and stuff for the state
[1:30:41] which I know that some of the stuff is
still held there and federal stuff is
[1:30:47] held there which will also come down to
the state let the unemployment being
[1:30:53] expanded and stuff like it are we
putting out the same way that you can
[1:30:59] put this out the avenues for people to
go to get help with that because the
[1:31:04] state and the federal is going to cover
a lot of this yes also and I agree with
[1:31:10] you
and probably every Commissioner here has
[1:31:14] gotten matured because you email this
down yeah oh okay good but everybody
[1:31:23] here has gotten bombarded from me with
all of this kind of relationship yes let
[1:31:28] advances on how to contact people zone
and if I'm mistaken guys tell me but I
[1:31:34] think that sometimes I feel guilty about
sending y'all over stop well it's fine
[1:31:40] the same but do we have it like at the
Resource Center do we have all the
[1:31:45] information you send us i've looked
about him I don't know I fear most of
[1:31:51] these are from being but it's all
information like that and we had some
[1:31:55] other stuff from the state do we have
that set up like at the Resource Center
[1:31:59] where people can can't access it or D
where they sign up for unemployment
[1:32:04] stuff through BSA there's social
services is that worthy no well that's
[1:32:11] to Employment Security Commission there
are cables they're actually closed their
[1:32:15] offices here so they've closed here yeah
so how do we help the people here that
[1:32:21] need to file for them and pull they have
it their own one there's a state number
[1:32:25] but they call we need to get that out
and and at this point Kevin is the
[1:32:36] Family Resource Center operating it is
operating but I think we need to pour
[1:32:41] them back to the four eight eight three
one nine eight number and also the two
[1:32:46] one one and also if they have questions
about the kovat not team to do I heard
[1:32:51] we didn't see before they can get to
text messaging I think those are the
[1:32:56] three outlets right now for the two one
one this Resource Center is gonna be
[1:33:00] full on there for the food service so
they're already on there for that also
[1:33:05] into one one it's going to point them
toward the state resources for the
[1:33:09] unemployment insurance
anything that they need for rent
[1:33:13] or estate services so I think we need to
point them in those directions first and
[1:33:17] and what will be a filter I mean Dickey
call the main number our main number at
[1:33:22] the at the courthouse weekend we'll be
able to filter it around others what
[1:33:27] kept 45373 okay and then extensions for
anyone they needed outdoor how do they
[1:33:34] get that I've I've listened to that and
I find it extremely irritating but you
[1:33:39] know that's my person
yeah we'll we'll try to get a press one
[1:33:44] so so they'll it'll it'll be in the
first string on that on the telephone
[1:33:49] ring our tree I think I think you're a
zero nut automatically comes to me
[1:33:54] anyway yeah so we'll handle that in here
okay okay that's taken care of in house
[1:33:59] anything else that you just know that's
it and well the volunteer list if you
[1:34:07] tried to get started before that we were
in the process of making no it's been a
[1:34:11] while since we talked about it do you
have anything if I'd like to see some of
[1:34:19] our communities be even if there's
anybody on that list I think we go back
[1:34:26] to to the county manager and just simply
say because that was one family resource
[1:34:33] so they need they do
being open and they knew that people
[1:34:37] didn't need to be able to know that
number yeah anything else I just want
[1:34:48] that yeah we had two people coming here
talking about closing the county day
[1:34:52] long it's kind of I don't know exactly
what all that looks like I know Graham
[1:34:59] County's looking at shutting us down
I don't know if that's gonna happen on
[1:35:02] earth at I think there's some hit kept
in that row and so but I was list to
[1:35:14] come back set the county down it sounded
less normal talk about setting the town
[1:35:19] down so that's what I wanted to clarify
on that if we were still shut down it
[1:35:28] would be the county and not just the
town right is that itself what I'm I
[1:35:31] mean if that's about later is that what
we're looking at I mean that's that's
[1:35:39] that's what I wanted to know any action
but this board replay the entire county
[1:35:43] town board has the authority under the
jurisdiction to shut the borders the
[1:35:48] town as well should they choose to okay
yeah that's discounted LaRose
[1:35:58] the municipality would be included in
that also so and that's only but let me
[1:36:04] be clear that's only because they signed
our state of emergency and they gave us
[1:36:11] the authority to do that within the
borders of the city but otherwise they
[1:36:15] would not have we would not have that
authority without their approval
[1:36:20] I know mayor Tom's not in here but I've
been talking to him probably about every
[1:36:24] day to trying to keep mm-hmm I think he
said the roofs are easier somewhere but
[1:36:31] but I think that that's clear that we
have that authority as long as the major
[1:36:38] signs that he's paid oh yeah so that
equals the axis
[1:37:11] as you told us last time sheriff that's
that's a 24-hour job it's not just a you
[1:37:17] know go up there sit there for a couple
hours and go home
[1:37:28] thank you well we hope that people can
get record get a copy of this meeting so
[1:37:39] that they know that we are trying to
stay on top of everything and that we
[1:37:42] have a lot more information and input
and I am aware David that and I'm going
[1:37:52] to ask you rather than this year on this
do you know where today Graham County is
[1:37:59] shutting its waters
[1:38:24] so
[1:38:29] Sharon
access
[1:38:44] did you ever maybe some initiative is
okay go ahead chair
[1:38:52] I'll talk to sheriff Guillaume several
times sure this week about road closures
[1:38:59] as David said you're a Skyway polka damn
and Fontana Dam that in that area inside
[1:39:08] Grand Canyon I thought ultimate you know
field one set up inside Graham County we
[1:39:11] support you 100% right now we're not
closing roads at Wayne County and that
[1:39:18] what you want to do go to deal the gap
and close the roads are up there which
[1:39:21] is squarely in Fayette County so I think
we might have that nipped in the bud
[1:39:28] Paul in Graham County I'm all for
tonight's covers quick Curtis you see a
[1:39:34] necessity for a curfew as other counties
have done
[1:39:37] I really don't write it right now the
traffic volume really down our call
[1:39:48] volume is is really them at this time if
we were having masses breaking in the
[1:39:54] enemies or carjacking or assaults and
then I would probably see it differently
[1:39:59] but I thought this time I don't
recommend it thank you Thank You sheriff
[1:40:05] of cooch
I had one request of the flirt you sure
[1:40:10] I looked on the county's website there
was my old phone number I had several
[1:40:16] years just along there
would you update that to eight to eight
[1:40:20] seven three six three seven zero two but
I think it would be good
[1:40:26] Madame clerk if you would just take a
look at the whole page and see what
[1:40:30] needs to be updated on the website is I
don't I'm not looked at him and they do
[1:40:38] but it may be re on there like the coded
nineteen the forty nine one three one
[1:40:45] nine eight for the Health Department is
there like a like a section where people
[1:40:50] can go on their if they're okay and
they'll give those resources as well as
[1:41:05] they YouTube channel it's you guys have
started to get that things okay great
[1:41:09] thank you Thank You mr. chairman I just
like to coming into closing type of
[1:41:18] statement I think when you come go
through a crisis like we're going
[1:41:23] through right now it brings out the
character of the county and I want us to
[1:41:28] be when this is over look back and say
it's this county handled this with class
[1:41:32] and character I would like to state you
know some of the simple most obvious
[1:41:37] things it seems like it shouldn't even
need to be said but you know if you're
[1:41:42] sick your stay home if you're around
somebody that's been sick just stay home
[1:41:46] if you are afraid of becoming sick and
have compromised system stay home and
[1:41:53] I'd like to add with that then also
please check on your neighbor please
[1:41:57] check on your family take care of each
other and we will get through this and
[1:42:02] we will look back and we'll have a sense
of pride how we handle this as a
[1:42:06] community and as a county thank you very
much well said
[1:42:12] sit our next week one of the things
Roger that if there is humor in this I
[1:42:22] think it was the toilet paper for tea
and the CDC has said the best you can do
[1:42:33] is wash your hands with soap and water
there's none better run on the soap the
[1:42:39] second best thing that you can do is
have some hand sanitizer there's not
[1:42:44] been a run on hand sanitizer although a
couple of things have happened that I
[1:42:50] think is is important and that's that
the
[1:42:59] National Information and sometimes one
of the things that I keep thinking about
[1:43:48] is how many of us in our churches and
individually have praised that we find a
[1:43:57] way to pull our families back together
we've got it I used to complain
[1:44:02] seriously about the cellphone and how
it's taken over our lives but in
[1:44:09] self-isolation I'm not cut off from the
world I've got my cell phone and I think
[1:44:16] that's a blessing in itself so so I've
had to stop and rethink everything that
[1:44:21] I thought was important another point
okay let's sit on next meeting when when
[1:44:27] do you guys want to come in and and
David I will ask you and how much time
[1:44:31] do you think ends here how much time do
you think we need for you to get a grip
[1:44:36] on what's going on as far as our
[1:44:43] Challenge and getting the people out you
know we've got a lot of people out there
[1:44:48] who who do call me and tell me that
they've spotted out-of-state cars you
[1:44:55] know but we need to be more judicious as
commissioners and how we respond to that
[1:45:03] and how would give get it going
David I think it's gonna take a few days
[1:45:07] to see how successful we are Monday
morning would they be too early for us
[1:45:14] to gather information and get back with
you but early next week we'll probably
[1:45:21] will need to talk about I didn't find
some of the things are essential and not
[1:45:26] going to have a number of questions by
the end so you know I'll bet I didn't
[1:45:31] lead on nothing maybe after they okay do
you think Wednesday or Friday I mean
[1:45:42] like what I could keep saying this thing
keeps changing their daily if but we're
[1:45:48] counting on your team to keep us updated
as to what's going on so from your
[1:45:54] recommendation would you say Friday
would you say Wednesday I mean I realize
[1:46:00] Monday is too soon
I mean it is for unit 4 lot of stuff
[1:46:07] without that the finalist in our hand I
don't know really how to answer that
[1:46:14] it's gonna take a little bit of time
we're gonna have free organize our whole
[1:46:19] shift pattern now and do some things and
it's just probably Friday okay it was a
[1:46:28] little bit of live in any one sure okay
well what we will do Sheriff as far as
[1:46:33] some of this list we can talk to the
county manager over the phone and in
[1:46:38] other ways to communicate and get some
ideas together from us as well as from
[1:46:43] him as to what would what may be
entailed in that list and just keep you
[1:46:47] federal that information so you have a
general idea of what's going on until we
[1:46:52] meet and formalize it and the committee
can be anytime if we see something that
[1:46:59] that's progressing or not addressing
them exactly I mean we've got to do the
[1:47:09] communication thing what do they call a
lek tronic communications we've got it
[1:47:13] we've just got to pick up on that and do
that that's but when they do when the
[1:47:17] committee down two of us can go to that
yes about having a call public meeting
[1:47:23] then if anybody felt comfortable on
going to there if I can see team meeting
[1:47:32] your time I mean you have to go this
time to go and if we need to calm or
[1:47:37] maintenance to get information to us it
needs to make the meet did any time a
[1:47:42] couple others shouldn't probably go over
shouldn't we should yeah that is that's
[1:47:48] personal call but one of the things that
I will ask you to do is coordinate that
[1:47:52] with Cindy Cindy doesn't have enough to
now so we're gonna give her some more
[1:47:56] today but coordinate that with Cindy so
that we don't we are not in violation of
[1:48:01] law ourselves yeah
if mr. Chairman I I was under the
[1:48:06] impression that we were going to meet at
1:00 o'clock Monday that this would give
[1:48:13] us the weekend to see how this
supplement that we just passed went see
[1:48:19] what clarifications we need on this
supplement to be able to give to the
[1:48:24] Sheriff's Department and others so I was
of that impression that we had agreed or
[1:48:28] we're going to meet at 1:00 o'clock
Monday is that we're going to make a
[1:48:31] motion in just a minute as to when that
will be
[1:48:35] and I think them coming to us with new
information or recommendations does not
[1:48:45] supersede on our ability to meet any
time they want it and I just was under
[1:48:51] the impression that seemed like the if
suddenly was I was thinking we were
[1:48:54] leaning toward Monday and then I was
hearing that we started leaning toward
[1:48:58] Friday and I I was confused possess all
we had been leaning toward Bundy good
[1:49:02] clarification because I think one of the
commissioners gave the Monday date and
[1:49:06] you know last time we acted on that
without even going any harder than that
[1:49:10] and this is what I'm walk down with the
recommendation from our team to this
[1:49:15] board for this board to make a
determination
[1:49:18] [Music]
to me not an individual and the
[1:49:22] recommendation and I have about meeting
on Friday were just so we could gather
[1:49:27] more information about the order from a
young lady working
[1:49:33] yeah I recommend we made on Monday as
commissioners would even if they don't
[1:49:39] have this altogether that's fine because
my house equation in the form of a
[1:49:43] motion I make a motion we leave Monday
at 1 o'clock okay thank you thank you
[1:49:48] we've got a motion on the floor for a
meeting at Monday morning at 9 o'clock
[1:49:52] what what 1 o'clock okay thank you
meeting on Monday at 1 o'clock and if if
[1:50:02] the emergency team is not ready to come
to us they don't have to show for that
[1:50:06] meeting we'll have some other stuff to
discuss okay
[1:50:10] just something just think you guys
understand and that's my understanding
[1:50:13] of this motion they might go yeah if
they don't have they need to probably
[1:50:17] show up anybody because then we might
have some information they need I just
[1:50:22] call I just I don't think we would have
your recommendations to change anything
[1:50:25] on Monday bring you questions about okay
good yeah I've emotional before I need a
[1:50:34] second I'll second the motion we meant
Monday at 1:00 a thought okay Monday at
[1:50:38] 1:00 o'clock a motion in a second on the
floor all those in favor raise your
[1:50:43] right hand okay and that is passed
unanimously
[1:50:50] any other items of importance of extreme
importance
[1:50:57] are we ready to close this meeting then
I will entertain a motion to end this
[1:51:06] meeting at this time most of during
which term second we've got a motion in
[1:51:12] a second on the floor to adjourn all
those in favor please raise your right
[1:51:15] hand
