» he sent it to
>> you sent it to and it's a combination.
[2:42]
One's a long version, one's the
advertised issue.
[2:46]
» Kind of depends on what format you're
going to advertise.
[2:50]
If [snorts] it's an expensive print
version, then the shorter version would
[2:56]
suffice initially.
>> Okay.
[3:00]
That's
for Brad's [clears throat] replacement.
[3:06]
You read through those J. I'm good with
them. I read through.
[3:10]

[3:15]
[clears throat]

placing them or are we

do it either way, whatever. I think the
responses should come back through the
[3:26]
supervisor's office. Um, so but uh I
don't know how many places you would
[3:32]
like to place.
>> Probably more the marrier.

[3:43]
suggested list of places and if you want
us to send it.

favor? Hi.

resignation [clears throat] letter from
[3:54]
Gary Smith, Waffle County
Assessor.
[3:59]
Gary saw this on the agenda, so he bowed
out of the meeting.
[4:04]
So, actually left the courthouse.
[laughter]
[4:08]
So, [clears throat] we did have a a
little mini mini party with all the area
[4:13]
assessors
over Pete's range last week and we
[4:17]
presented him with a plaque for years of
service.
[4:21]
And I know he's
he [clears throat] gets a little
[4:24]
emotional about it. Been here a long
time. How long was he been here? 37.
[4:30]
» I don't know for sure because he did
some time in Mahaska County and then
[4:34]
came back and he's been in the
assessment world for over 40 years.
[4:40]
» I was thinking it was 37 or 38 years
here, but
[4:44]
[clears throat] a lifetime.
and he's turning it over to Travis, who
[4:50]
seems to be having a totally different
hair day.
[4:54]
[snorts]
[5:00]
» That's first thing I noticed when you
stand up, [laughter]
[5:03]
wrestling tournament's over, he's going
back to normal,
[5:08]
right? So, yeah, you guys get a chance,
you know, make contact with Gary and
[5:12]
Tom, thanks for your years of service.
Know he'll appreciate it. So,
[5:17]
I'll make a motion to approve.

28E agreement regarding service
[5:24]
contracting W County Sheriff's Office
and the city of Eddieville.
[5:30]
Says 10% increase into what they pay us
for contract patrol of 60 hours a month
[5:38]
is what it is. has helped it. I went to
each one of the cities and asked for a
[5:42]
10% increase for uh revenue increase to
help out with expenses.
[5:48]
» Do you have to do one of these for each
one of the cities?
[5:50]
» You know, Eddieville is the only one
that requests an additional 20 a new.
[5:56]
The other ones don't request it. So, I
don't
[5:58]
» Okay.
>> I don't see us needing to do that.
[6:00]
» Long as you got right. So, that's why
just wonder when it was only them. So,
[6:06]
» I'll make a motion to approve. I'll
second. Those in favor?
[6:09]
» I tell my family trout fishing day
donation.
[6:14]
They ask for $500
to give this every year. Anybody know
[6:20]
how much they raised total?
Do you know Tom at all? Is it like
[6:26]
$5,000 or something total?
[clears throat and cough]
[6:30]
As for the fishing trout fishing day in
March
[6:34]
before the w of course by then the
waters might be really warm where things
[6:37]
are going.
>> I'm going to make a motion to approve.

[6:45]
» All right.
Elden uptown downtown donation.
[6:50]
Do they have a dollar amount?
>> They they was not a dollar amount
[6:54]
requested. Karen looked it up and the
last time was money was given was
[6:58]
$10,000 back in 2020.
[clears throat] So with that being said,
[7:03]
I'm going to make a motion to table that
until we get done with our budget.
[7:08]
» Get some more details on what it's what
it is what it's for. I think that last
[7:12]
one was
opera house or something like that. You
[7:15]
remember [snorts]
Chad? Mm-m. [clears throat]
[7:19]
I told her I thought we gave money
before, but
[7:24]
» Opera House is different than Elden
Uptown Downtown. So,
[7:29]
maybe one of us can make contact to see
what it is they're requesting.
[7:33]
» All right.
I'll go with your motion to table that.
[7:38]
Those in favor of table. All right.
Amended and restated joint agreement for
[7:44]
operation of maintenance of sanitary
landfill.
[7:47]
This is a new
updated agreement. I think the other
[7:52]
been replaced
for
[7:55]
eternity since it started it. It had
never been updated. So the DNR required
[8:02]
that it be updated along with the new
comp plan stuff and the city's already
[8:06]
approved it.
>> I'm going to make a motion to approve.
[8:09]
I'll second it. Those in favor?
>> I I
[8:13]
[clears throat] personnel request
request a payroll approval, change of
[8:17]
employment, sheriff's department.
>> It's just uh put one of the cos is
[8:23]
currently there and will sergeant
positions.
[8:26]
» Okay,
>> I'll make motion approve.
[8:30]
» Who [clears throat] is it? Do you have a
last name on it?
[8:34]
» What's that?
>> The employee is Vandor.
[8:37]
» Vanor. Okay. Yeah.
[8:41]
I'll second that. Those in favor
>> I
[8:44]
» request for payroll approval. New Ohio
sheriff's department.
[8:47]
» Just a vacancy in the one of the jail
positions
[8:52]
to approve.
>> Okay. [clears throat] Those in favor?
[8:57]
» I.
[9:01]
Any other business
come before the board?
[9:05]
J. So, I I didn't know whether to bring
this up uh now or I guess with I didn't
[9:11]
know Brian wasn't going to be here
today, but um I just [clears throat]
[9:14]
wanted to kind of bring it up. I don't
know if you guys saw the the the House
[9:20]
file that the pass through committee and
is made it through the funnel regarding
[9:24]
the renewable energy standards that they
have proposed. Have you seen any of that
[9:30]
at all?
>> I haven't seen the draft. No, I heard it
[9:32]
went through but I haven't seen it. So
they've created a basically a
[9:35]
standardized setback distance from
various structures, non-participating
[9:43]
um
you know properties and whatever. Um
[9:47]
obviously it's a long ways from from
becoming a law because it's got to go
[9:51]
through the Senate yet and all that
before it would go to the full house or
[9:55]
legislature for for a vote. Um, did you
want to know what some of those
[10:00]
proposals are
at this point or
[10:05]
» I can pull them or you can email them to
me either way. We actually have a
[10:08]
meeting. Okay.
>> Thursdays.
[10:09]
» All right.
>> Over that. So,
[10:10]
» okay.
>> At one o'clock.
[10:12]
» All right.
>> If you're bored.
[10:14]
» No, I'll be there. It's just um
>> it is going to be in Eddieville.
[10:20]
» What?
>> No, it's not. [laughter]
[10:24]
Why don't you take me core out to the
county even further? Why don't you do
[10:27]
that?
>> Pink room 1:00 on Thursday. So,
[10:31]
» yeah. Um,
>> you had to think about it though.
[10:34]
» I did have to think about it. Yeah. My
mind's going about 100 miles per hour.
[10:39]
Um, but it does some of the
>> What's the house file number? You got
[10:42]
that?
>> Yeah, it's 2580
[10:45]
2580.
[10:51]
And the way it looks, it would
the county would have to weaken its
[10:56]
ordinance. It's proposed in some areas.
It it basically calls for maximum
[11:03]
distances for setbacks. So, you can go
over, but you can go under.
[11:08]
Um,
[11:13]
just be some food for thought for when
you have your meeting on Thursday, I
[11:16]
guess, because who knows if this thing
will pass as it is. you know, or if
[11:21]
there'll be a lot of changes to it or
>> Yeah, they actually about the last two
[11:25]
years. So,
>> yeah. [clears throat] Yeah, this one
[11:29]
originated in the House and it and it
passed out a subcommittee. So, it or a
[11:34]
committee, so it uh
it's now house file instead of a study
[11:39]
bill. [snorts]
[11:43]
» And I think they put it on their
calendar for House debate. I don't know
[11:47]
when that's going to be, but it'll be up
for debate from the way it sounds. So,
[11:57]
» anything else?
>> No, that's it. [snorts] Anybody else?
[12:05]
» Call for a motion to adjourn. I'll make
it. I'll
[12:08]
» second. Those in favor? I I
thanks for coming.
