[2:54]
Call our meeting to order, if you would, please stand for prayer and pledge.
[3:01]
Heavenly
[3:01]
follow, thank you for this day. Thank you for the rain that we're receiving. Just
[3:05]
help it to go to the farmers and help it where it's needed, Father. Just be with
[3:09]
them as they get your crop ready. Help us today as we can duck business and help us to
[3:14]
keep you first and all that we do in life with our families and hearing this
[3:19]
me. In your name, I pray. Amen.
[3:24]
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic
[3:29]
for which it stands one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
[3:37]
The
[3:43]
purpose for our meeting today is for public hearings. We'll close our regular meeting
[3:48]
up in a public hearing, agenda item 2.1, public hearing to update participating party
[3:57]
for a project gantry at the industrial park, Mr. Daniels.
[4:08]
This is the end of hopefully a very long list of foods we've had to jump through in order
[4:14]
to get the grants underway out the county industrial park.
[4:19]
What this does is it gives you somewhat of a budget at the top and also we're going to
[4:24]
to ask for an extension on the timeline of completion,
[4:27]
given us basically another 18 months to complete it.
[4:31]
We've had several, several hoops we've had the jump through
[4:34]
that they've come back and they needed this
[4:35]
than that done.
[4:36]
So we're, as of Friday, the plans were done.
[4:41]
This is the last piece to finish this up, hopefully.
[4:47]
We'll be putting the plans in this to Commerce,
[4:51]
First and the EDA for final approval.
[4:55]
And your vote today is basically to approve this budget and to approve the extension.
[5:03]
Just to add, we wanted to add this a couple of weeks ago, but it had to be advertised in the paper for
[5:10]
10 days in the timing, just did not make it the good of the last meeting because of the way the
[5:15]
antiquated going into the paper, you have to have it in on a Friday for the next
[5:20]
Wednesday. That felt the meeting, it just it didn't work. So that's why we're
[5:24]
having a special meeting that is in here.
[5:29]
So you are asking for approval of this
[5:32]
today. Anything else you need to add?
[5:36]
No sir. So this is Grant funded right? 100 percent grant. This is just for all the
[5:43]
infrastructure work, the rail, the water, the natural gas, all that to go into the industrial
[5:48]
park in preparation for American civil to take possession of the property on the northern
[5:53]
end. We're using their jobs to activate these grants, but by putting it all the way up
[5:58]
to the north, what we've allowed us to be able to presently finish the industrial park that's
[6:04]
closer to moving ready for potential clients.
[6:06]
What is the railroads for?
[6:09]
What does that construction also have?
[6:10]
This is it?
[6:11]
Yes.
[6:12]
and this can be modified 35,000 per job created so with the project that we have it
[6:19]
set aside for this amount of money but as we grow the other park that's what
[6:23]
the reason for the 18-month extension is that we're going to go back and ask for
[6:27]
more to make it bigger as we get those jobs to justify it and the
[6:33]
participant has agreed to these and participating party and all of that's
[6:39]
I don't know if the official store is paying part of the agreement in place with the county.
[6:43]
We can.
[6:44]
We have a lease in place with the county.
[6:46]
And just so the board is aware, if those jobs do not get created, then the county is on
[6:50]
the hook for those funds to the state.
[6:53]
This is a job growth creation grant, meaning if there's certain requirements, that to be met.
[6:59]
And if they're not met, then there's a callback provision.
[7:02]
How many jobs do we got to create for this grant?
[7:05]
For this budget, 55.
[7:07]
55.
[7:07]
How much will the asphalt point bring?
[7:08]
All right, actually 51, sorry, 51.
[7:11]
This is back to the point.
[7:12]
Well, with the rock distribution, let me flip it off.
[7:15]
I've been saying, just to ask for a point,
[7:16]
they did rock distribution, and as far as you could create.
[7:19]
But the initial transportation jobs, they create as well.
[7:22]
Okay.
[7:22]
As long as the center of their umbrella,
[7:23]
it doesn't have to, as long as they touch that side
[7:27]
and then, you know, so like delivery drivers in one,
[7:30]
I think they're able to be counted as well.
[7:32]
Okay, five material troves.
[7:34]
Rock troves, everything.
[7:35]
Yeah, in this amount is based on that one one company. So that's what Mr. Mitt will say in each additional company
[7:43]
We can get out of the jobs and
[7:45]
You have the questions for the board
[7:49]
public comments
[7:52]
Seeing done we'll close this portion of the public hearing and entertain a motion
[7:58]
Second motion a second all in the favor. I all opposed motion carries
[8:03]
All right, Doug, the agenda.
[8:07]
Sir, motion to action.
[8:09]
Can I make one comment, though?
[8:11]
Just to add, it has rained, and it hasn't rained in a while, so the roads are being graded
[8:17]
and will be graded, but if it was graded last week, it'll be next week that it'll be graded
[8:23]
and it could be a little behind.
[8:24]
So I should get questions, just know that we're going to be out there this week,
[8:28]
training I've already met this morning and there's a couple issues. If it's health
[8:32]
and safety and there's a ditch and it's unsafe then we need to get on it. I do
[8:37]
know that the school board canceled all dirt road pickups I think today.
[8:42]
There was some articles so we just we need to make sure we're getting that done
[8:46]
but if you hear of anything specific let me know and I'll get with them and work
[8:51]
through that. We need a little moisture anyway the
[8:53]
just great your power yeah we have a motion second to a duck agenda all
[8:59]
there's in favor all opposed most carries non-agenda audience there's no
[9:05]
signatures any other business just I have one more thing since I'm talking a
[9:12]
lot DM will be here Thursday they were basically
[9:20]
reneging Friday about coming and sitting down with each of y'all. And we work through that,
[9:31]
some hard conversations, but they are going to be here for those hours. So if you would work on
[9:36]
your questions, I'd kind of like to, if you can give me five or ten quote, whatever any questions
[9:41]
you have, I would like to go over the questions with each commissioner in your allotted time.
[9:47]
So, you know, something Joey may want, Corbin may need, or something that Corbin says may help Griffin.
[9:55]
So, if you don't mind, it doesn't have to be, you can add questions to it, but I would like to go over the majority of the questions with all the commissioners individually with the, so if you could email me the questions that you have for the meetings on Thursday.
[10:13]
today because we're going to have one was first and then we're going to set this aside
[10:19]
with each of you to ask those questions for.
[10:22]
So just think of the questions that you would want, get them to me and I'll do kind of
[10:26]
a summary of the questions.
[10:28]
I just got one big question.
[10:31]
I'll let you know.
[10:35]
Mr. Chairman.
[10:36]
Yes.
[10:37]
Do we have two motions?
[10:38]
One to approve the agenda and one to approve the.
[10:43]
Yes.
[10:43]
Yes, we did.
[10:44]
Okay.
[10:45]
Yes, we had a, for the project entry we had a motion and then we had a motion for the
[10:52]
adopted to adopt the agenda,
[10:56]
all right, is there a motion to adjourn?
[10:58]
So moved.
[10:59]
