[0:04]
All I got to do is say I'm not coming. That's our problem. The means we're having pizza again.
[0:15]
Welcome everyone, thanks for waiting for us.
[0:21]
Any questions on the minutes?
[0:25]
I'll move the second.
[0:27]
Second.
[0:30]
Moving second.
[0:31]
All in favor?
[0:32]
All right.
[0:34]
Tell it isn't.
[0:37]
I'm pretty quiet.
[0:39]
Yeah.
[0:40]
Last night I sat down.
[0:42]
I had to turn the team down for a moment.
[0:43]
18 to 13 wasn't working on my health.
[0:47]
And so I called the paraceties and they said,
[0:49]
check on it in the morning, it was back up.
[0:51]
So we didn't get any calls, which I was shocked.
[0:54]
That's when I was in love with a couple of weeks ago,
[0:57]
over on that end of the country, they got a fix.
[1:02]
We haven't had, when we changed the billing fee,
[1:06]
right, for the broadcast of tug mitigation.
[1:10]
We haven't really had serious pushback.
[1:11]
I thought we were going to give.
[1:14]
I thought we were going to get way more on that and if people call us, tell them, look,
[1:18]
it's a general service and so it's been pretty chill, honestly, like a way less than I
[1:24]
was anticipating.
[1:25]
I mean, we did send out letters beforehand, letting them know, hey, this has come out.
[1:29]
I think it made a difference to send the letter.
[1:31]
So, but, God, I've been pleasantly surprised with how that's come out.
[1:37]
Yeah, I think that was like a, you know, would win there, so, okay, solid waste.
[1:48]
I think you're going good.
[1:49]
We're going to go live with our scales September 1st.
[1:54]
Ben, I think, Ben and Kim, they've really been.
[1:58]
It's been kind of a learning period to try to figure out how we're going to implement,
[2:01]
get all our stuff in the system and so we've had a couple zoom calls and we'll have a couple more of
[2:06]
here. We're waiting on, I did talk to the scale company the day and then you got in contact with
[2:13]
Folkrum and so we're going to have to buy some cables that come from the scale too, that's why I
[2:19]
wondered if there's one to all that. And so he's on that hopefully not going to look sometimes a little slow.
[2:28]
So that, I have weighed a few trucks.
[2:31]
My weight sum today came in that was hauling several loads and so we, I don't know, 25
[2:38]
is going to.
[2:39]
Yeah, and it was demo, so it was pretty light stuff, but so, like, he brought three loads
[2:44]
into $60 and then I said, well let's scale it for the rest and it would be about $38,
[2:51]
you know.
[2:53]
So it depends on like a load of cement though or dirt we're going to make this is why I think
[3:00]
what we're going to do is we're going to go live but we're actually still going to build
[3:04]
based off volume.
[3:05]
We're going to run it for at least a month and I'm going to look at the numbers so I've
[3:09]
been setting up the software right now so that it will calculate what we would build in
[3:14]
at the rates per ton that we're figuring but then also at our volume rates like we're
[3:19]
to tell the Shaq people still say what you think that was one yard, three yards, whatever.
[3:24]
So we're going to generate a report. We're still going to build off yards even for September.
[3:29]
But so I want to see how close we come up because I'm getting a little nervous that there could be.
[3:33]
And we might need to do that for more than one month.
[3:35]
Yeah, I'm kind of thinking that there's no big rush. We don't have to.
[3:38]
Yeah, we don't have to start building September first. We just as far as the live goes,
[3:43]
We're gonna start everybody coming in our way and everything but yeah, and our gate people can be in there
[3:49]
But we'll anyway, yeah, we'll
[3:52]
Can you set it up with just like a minimum and then anything about that?
[3:56]
Yeah, so that's what we'll do like on a roll-off
[4:00]
Just be a minimum then anything over will be the $25 a dollar or whatever
[4:05]
That's a pretty good average iron county. I think it's 23
[4:09]
but
[4:11]
Colorado City they said it was 34 or 34 but yet they said C&D was less and so it probably
[4:19]
all computes in the end which doesn't make any sense yeah I mean down to the day we just
[4:24]
don't want to lose a bunch of revenue on it and if we lose a little bit that's fine but
[4:28]
we just don't know right yeah we don't know what those loads weigh and we've been guessing
[4:32]
off of volumes and some of them are some mad and some of them are tumbleweeds and those
[4:37]
Well, one thing it does do, though, is it shows that we were way over, I mean, if this
[4:44]
isn't good average, like an average dump truck with C&D, we've been telling the state,
[4:50]
that's, you know, 12 to 10 to 12 yards of material.
[4:54]
Where it's really tonnage-wise, and it's not that hard for us.
[4:59]
Yeah, and this is, I mean, that's a good way to report to the state, tons, and still, yeah,
[5:04]
we will.
[5:04]
Yeah, that's what that's what we want to do that's what we've been trying to do to is make sure the software
[5:12]
That's what we mean is Danny and Justin have stuff they want to track and we have stuff that we want to track
[5:17]
And so we're trying to make sure that the software's built so it tracks both things and have outputs that both of us need well in the whole
[5:25]
Billy, you know, we want to build through the software and we want to just continue to use credit cards
[5:30]
and that causes another step for these guys and so there's a way to do it. We've just got to get it all we need to do.
[5:38]
Yeah, I think we're good.
[5:41]
We knew from the start there was going to be a big thing.
[5:44]
Yeah, but as far as the scale set up, we've got gravel. I've been home and you gravel. It looks great down there.
[5:49]
It looks so good. It's really a nice set up.
[5:53]
It's crazy how high it is.
[5:55]
Yeah.
[5:55]
Yeah, like I was surprised.
[5:57]
It'll be nice for keeping a drain down.
[5:59]
Oh, no, yeah, I mean, that's what I mean.
[6:01]
But after you put it in, but then you build up,
[6:04]
you know, to it, then it looks a lot,
[6:06]
but it went in first, but now.
[6:07]
Oh, well, I've been there.
[6:08]
Yeah, but yeah, it'll be great.
[6:10]
Yeah, it'll be great.
[6:10]
We got the fans all over, we get in, so it's,
[6:16]
yeah, it's definitely looking different out there.
[6:19]
Yeah, I see.
[6:20]
And then everything else is pretty good,
[6:23]
solid waste has been busy but not we can't handle. On the Cedar Mountain Slash pit so our
[6:31]
grinder guy went belly up so we got to rethink that. He lost everything but that's
[6:39]
a diamond tree expert thing. He couldn't grind for nothing.
[6:47]
Yes he couldn't
[6:53]
It's kind of a unique, I mean, not everybody does it, so.
[6:57]
But it's the only one in the state I could bring out.
[7:00]
And he actually asked me, like, who was grindin' before you,
[7:02]
but I didn't know the one.
[7:06]
So, it was making it money on selling materials.
[7:09]
Okay, so when this is ground, we'll have a big pile of junk up there then.
[7:15]
So, and talk about this guy, so he'll grind it to,
[7:18]
he'll come out three and three attempts.
[7:26]
But he said he's got a commodity for it and so they're from up Salt Lake, he said once I get down there and see the areas, I'm pretty sure I can find some place for it to go.
[7:37]
But since I missed the hollet, right, I missed the hollet, and I was really, I thought it was hauling at just that.
[7:44]
I know the dolls, the dolls, they're in circle.
[7:49]
They were fun to grow stuff from my dad on that sawmill up there a few years ago.
[7:56]
I wonder what, because we had a guy come up there who was grinding big stumps and stuff.
[8:00]
We couldn't run to the mill.
[8:03]
I'll see if he's still around.
[8:05]
Yeah, I think we'll see if you guys know any contacts or otherwise we'll be lighter back
[8:09]
up.
[8:11]
I've got a couple people looking into where his grinder went and I think there's a lot
[8:16]
of nature.
[8:16]
I've got a couple contacts.
[8:18]
Nothing that I can speak on of at this point.
[8:20]
Yeah, it wants to sell to you.
[8:22]
Yeah.
[8:22]
Not me.
[8:24]
Not me.
[8:25]
I don't know.
[8:26]
I have enough wires in the carpet.
[8:27]
I feel the same.
[8:30]
Yeah, I mean, when I found out about this, I called Danny and then, um, yeah, I know we came and got the equipment a few things, so I'm working on it as far as I guess.
[8:43]
It's just, it was so much better because we could open back up in April where, if we burn it, we're not opening that thing to June's July.
[8:50]
It's a lot easier on a white snow, you're like lost to your snow and then it's a fire
[9:00]
and once you get to July, it becomes a fire, it's about 0.2.
[9:04]
And then we have to go with the dozer and stir it up until the fire department can get
[9:09]
it out.
[9:11]
That's a lot more work for us.
[9:12]
This is Unicastas.
[9:14]
Oh yeah.
[9:14]
It is.
[9:15]
40,000.
[9:16]
Yeah.
[9:17]
I mean, that's just it.
[9:18]
Right.
[9:18]
All right, you're going to buy another $20,000 on that.
[9:21]
So wait, I mean, with our grinder that we have, is it?
[9:25]
No, it was, that's not the same thing.
[9:27]
I mean, you could do it, but you've got to have full-time God's help.
[9:30]
Just some time.
[9:31]
Right on that barrel time.
[9:32]
They would just literally have to be there and grind into it, comes in.
[9:35]
And a lot of it's too big for our machine, and yeah, you know,
[9:39]
the big steps would be to act it.
[9:41]
You know, an interesting thing, though,
[9:43]
been noticed on this scale system, they have a QR code for like people that come in after
[9:49]
hours and so he hit them up about up there to the burn pit is that something that we could
[9:53]
use to like open a gate or track who's coming in and out and they just have a QR code they have
[10:00]
to scan it with their phone and then if they're not set up they have to put in their information
[10:04]
but then we could, I mean if they're not out of scale but we could at least make them
[10:09]
track well as if we got a camera set up which I've talked to a guy and he's supposed to
[10:17]
go look at it at one point he did look at it once but you know in our other camera deal
[10:23]
it's followed throughout contact at several times it's hard to find this is not they're all
[10:28]
through like we met him up there just and I went up there and had a great oh yeah this is easy
[10:33]
see this, you know, crickets, you know, I email them all, you know, we'll get back with you
[10:40]
nothing.
[10:41]
We were wondering if we set up a gate, a camera that was viewing their vehicle, so they had
[10:47]
to QR code in and then that would trigger the gate to open and then we could track who's
[10:53]
bringing how much in, at least we're not going to have a volume or a weight, but we at least
[10:58]
have an idea.
[10:58]
Yeah.
[10:59]
It won't end up with a bunch of garbage, too.
[11:00]
Then you've got to work with the two.
[11:02]
Yeah.
[11:02]
That's the same time.
[11:04]
So, they act like that might be something we could do, but they would only work with footwork.
[11:10]
And I'm going to get in there.
[11:11]
It's tied in the system.
[11:12]
Yeah.
[11:16]
Maybe it'll solve its problem itself.
[11:18]
There will be any junk in it, sure.
[11:19]
Mm-hmm.
[11:20]
It's been done.
[11:21]
Very good.
[11:21]
All right.
[11:22]
This year has been the best year for not a lot of trash.
[11:25]
It's like, timing and time of dirt.
[11:28]
You've learned all I know.
[11:29]
It's just hitting their load.
[11:31]
It's coming with needles on the side.
[11:32]
Yeah, all their trees up with their machines, just great.
[11:36]
I have to yell my guys pretty hard about that stuff.
[11:38]
It's just come around a lot.
[11:39]
But your skin is straight like all the pine needles on the top.
[11:43]
It's under half of the dirt and half of the needles.
[11:45]
I style my guys pretty hard about it.
[11:48]
That's one thing, this guy told me that dirtier days
[11:51]
than longer takes into grind it, which is more money.
[11:54]
So it gets clean material that you don't drink pretty quick.
[11:58]
I think you do 400 yards an hour, but that's what I'm curious, it's 400 yards an hour.
[12:05]
I think it's that big as I'm a sheep, it's 400 yards an hour, a whole lot of it.
[12:13]
That's a lot of material, that's what you're going to be.
[12:16]
We may only be two days.
[12:18]
I was thinking we'd be a couple weeks.
[12:20]
She's not going to keep up the fence, man.
[12:22]
I mean, that's how you told me, you know, so you got to pay a minimum of, uh,
[12:26]
He had to get in the machine there in two days, and he's like, some goes seven days, some
[12:33]
go less.
[12:34]
He's like, typically they get through a big pile for a minute.
[12:38]
Wow.
[12:40]
While we were talking about Texas and about it, the one that Phil had is listed for $360.8,
[12:47]
which is more than it's probably worth $360.
[12:50]
So he beat that, dragged it up pretty good.
[12:54]
It broke down a lot last year.
[12:57]
Yeah, I mean, I wanted to see, you know, what is it?
[12:59]
Because it's something that we can put a guy up there for a week to knock it out ourselves.
[13:03]
Or like, what are the options I think?
[13:06]
Yeah.
[13:06]
It's important for the candy up there.
[13:08]
I mean, that pile's not that big for Norway.
[13:10]
Well, it may not happen to pay 50, $60,000 minimum.
[13:15]
At some point, we want to do it ourselves.
[13:19]
Well, I was just texting my dad who they had to do that up there.
[13:22]
He said, diamond tree as soon as they had a big ground to be.
[13:24]
He says he thinks barco has their own ground right now.
[13:26]
Oh really?
[13:28]
So we might be talking barcoes and see if they're going if they're interested in it.
[13:34]
Yeah.
[13:35]
Anyway, that's kind of where we're right there.
[13:37]
Other night, solid rises.
[13:39]
Well, and going.
[13:40]
Our new truck should be here next week.
[13:44]
So it's been a long time coming.
[13:45]
Is that what we just paid down from $58,000 to $58,000?
[13:49]
Yeah, that was the final one there.
[13:51]
Okay.
[13:53]
I was trying to remember what...
[13:55]
It's been a while, like, on your list.
[13:58]
Yeah.
[13:59]
That was the year in the wish list, so I'm back on the new one.
[14:02]
I'm sure you got a new one.
[14:05]
I'm going down about that.
[14:07]
I'm sure it's about your budget.
[14:09]
Tell us.
[14:11]
How about, he's got a six month plan.
[14:16]
Every six month, he's got a new one.
[14:18]
But he has a plan outside.
[14:20]
Yeah.
[14:20]
Every five years he combines it into the six months plan.
[14:23]
Yeah.
[14:23]
Every five years he combines it into the six months plan.
[14:25]
That's right.
[14:29]
All right.
[14:30]
Is that it on solid waste?
[14:32]
I think so.
[14:32]
Yep.
[14:34]
Other than just we are interviewing for John's job tomorrow,
[14:38]
and very crystal-helpless. Unless anybody else wants to come.
[14:45]
I told you I could be there, but I'll let them handle us.
[14:49]
You got it under control?
[14:51]
You bet you.
[14:53]
I like it.
[14:55]
It will be really hard on them.
[14:57]
Good. I already know who you got mine to hide.
[15:00]
But that's okay. We got seven. I'm coming in. And I looked there really. Yeah, there's some solid. There's a few that maybe, you know, I thought deserved an interview. But there were three or four there. I think you couldn't go wrong. Yeah, to be honest. Yeah, I was quite impressed. All right, review plans. You already did. You got my hundred.
[15:31]
That means I actually ripped my paper work once.
[15:37]
Yeah, so things are, you know, pretty cheap.
[15:41]
You can budget wise anything you're looking good.
[15:43]
About 20,000 revenue over budget.
[15:45]
More under expenses.
[15:49]
Pretty good.
[15:51]
About 300,000, but that's kind of anticipated.
[15:56]
What's up?
[15:58]
I should know this, and it probably been there forever, but on the balance sheet there's
[16:04]
an unclassified income.
[16:07]
That's been.
[16:09]
That's been to any of us?
[16:10]
No.
[16:11]
This balance sheet I don't send you all the time, so in QuickBooks, the way we track this
[16:15]
where we've got SolidWaste and TV, we have to break it out.
[16:20]
The unclassified column is when someone pre-pays essentially for a roll off or a dumpster.
[16:25]
We can't actually tag it to a class until we create an invoice for it. So that's why you can have a negative amount in them.
[16:32]
Well, just, okay, let me teach you about a balance sheet. Go down there to tell us.
[16:37]
Zero says zero under the call.
[16:39]
You know what? I've tried to understand accounting's mentality for years and it doesn't compute.
[16:51]
So, like I said, this is probably been there the whole time.
[16:55]
This particular report breaks out the balance sheet for the solid waste fund and the TV fund.
[17:00]
And again, I haven't sent you that every time.
[17:02]
It's just so you can see the respective cash balances.
[17:05]
Basically, everything in that unclassified column, that's part of the solid waste stuff.
[17:09]
But it's just because of the way we have to do the books with the two things.
[17:12]
Okay.
[17:12]
Okay.
[17:13]
But yeah, that's just someone who's in the TV con versus the salt waste.
[17:16]
I know it's about the answer.
[17:18]
I expect it right here.
[17:19]
That's the way the accountant is doing it.
[17:22]
Hey, JD, you just don't understand.
[17:23]
Shut up.
[17:25]
Are you kidding me, JD?
[17:30]
But don't fight it while you're at it.
[17:32]
All right.
[17:32]
If I find someone, then they'd explain.
[17:34]
No.
[17:34]
I can't.
[17:35]
And this isn't a report that ever goes out to anybody except you guys.
[17:37]
And so when we send this to the auditors, I actually have to take this to excel.
[17:41]
And I take those numbers and manually move them into the correct solid waste fund
[17:45]
categories, but it's just a nuance with what's called class tracking and QuickBooks
[17:50]
in the way that handles balance sheet transactions.
[17:52]
Yeah, okay.
[17:53]
So.
[17:55]
It's just JD.
[17:56]
That's a problem.
[17:57]
That's all we got.
[17:59]
Yeah.
[18:00]
So on that, I mean, like I said, on the one I showed you that, just so you can kind of see what the cash balances are in the TV fund.
[18:05]
And so we've got 1.35 and the TV fun, we've got 3.1 in a solid way, so that one is down
[18:12]
a little bit.
[18:13]
I mean, we've been a little bit of a vendor here for the last year, we're going to have
[18:18]
to cut back on the Danny Wistler's.
[18:21]
I said after the compact, we're going to talk about it, we're probably going to tell
[18:25]
maybe they're spending spree, spree, spree, spree, spree, spree, spree, spree, spree, I heard
[18:31]
it right at the first time, the spending spree, no, he's been on a spree.
[18:35]
We might not thought we've been on spending for years, but we can't have for anything.
[18:39]
Yeah, these guys are crazy.
[18:42]
That's why we've got $500 in Cornwall Tools and...
[18:46]
Well, that's the best answer, right?
[18:49]
We're talking big stuff.
[18:50]
Yeah, yeah.
[18:51]
I thought all of you were spending with us.
[18:52]
There it is, but you know.
[18:54]
You can curb the appetite a little bit.
[18:55]
Let's see, what's this?
[18:57]
Oh, Nedra?
[18:58]
I'm not Nedra.
[18:58]
That's cool.
[18:59]
That's cool.
[18:59]
That's cool.
[19:00]
That's cool.
[19:04]
But now, so we've purchased the just over $1.2 million in a quick and since last July.
[19:10]
So, I mean, that's where some of those funds have drawn down a little bit.
[19:13]
But basically, once we get to the end of this year, we'll get our big Chunky County money
[19:19]
in December, January, and that brings us kind of back up where I'm wanting to be.
[19:25]
Hey, we did get new loader.
[19:27]
Another free loader?
[19:29]
Yeah, they dropped it off.
[19:30]
Loaded it.
[19:30]
never signed a paper or nothing. I love it. They called me and said your
[19:38]
loaders in will deliver it next Friday and I said okay. I never I was I was
[19:43]
gone and it was there. I didn't sign a paper. They didn't know. How many hours on
[19:48]
the old? Five hundred. Never serviced it. Put a couple airfielders in it now
[20:13]
That's how trucks were there for a while, but I'm more.
[20:18]
All right, anybody else got things to ask Danny about?
[20:22]
been.
[20:25]
Just for like so we're about 300 and the scale right now is about 340,000
[20:30]
with the software with everything all in. So we're going to have a little more gravel
[20:35]
we've been. Yeah, it's going to be right around 350 on that. On that $200,000
[20:43]
scale we've put in. Yeah. Most of it went to the contract, to the
[20:47]
Yeah.
[20:50]
I've noticed, the one that did the things we've been paying for hasn't sent you a bill yet.
[20:54]
Yeah.
[20:57]
That might change.
[21:00]
The grappling is just getting across the border there, right?
[21:03]
The generators they bring that to you.
[21:06]
Wow.
[21:07]
Cheapest.
[21:08]
Really?
[21:08]
Even though they're right there?
[21:09]
Yeah.
[21:10]
No kidding.
[21:10]
Yeah.
[21:11]
I just assumed.
[21:12]
Yeah, I've had to hold some out of my brother's dick early on some pit run that was that was a piece of day in labs
[21:21]
Okay, I just figured you know tighter and better than home. It's a good
[21:30]
All right, fraud risk assessment
[21:34]
So and I apologize I wasn't here for meeting last time, but yeah, I went back and look because this one kind of let me up a little bit
[21:42]
The state changed the recommendation
[21:45]
in the little manual in May of 2026
[21:48]
because I had the previous little manual,
[21:50]
and it didn't say anything about
[21:51]
you needed to approve it during the year.
[21:53]
But the state auditor's office was telling all the auditors
[21:56]
they need to approve these during the year,
[21:58]
but they didn't put that information out
[22:00]
until after year end.
[22:01]
And that's never been the case.
[22:03]
And they're saying that's always been the rules.
[22:04]
Like, well, you guys have never set that.
[22:05]
So in the audit, you'll see we got written up
[22:08]
and Zach's probably seeing it in some of that.
[22:09]
I think just about every district in the entire state
[22:11]
got written up on this this year. So we're approving, but we have this in place, but it's got to be
[22:18]
approved every year. It's got to be approved during the calendar year. So we've done it every year
[22:24]
in the spring. I brought it to you guys usually in April or May and you guys have approved it
[22:29]
to do for the prior year. So anyway, so we're doing them both. So now we need to do one in the spring
[22:36]
for the current year. I've got, no, I already, I said to screw this, I'm just doing the 26th one right
[22:41]
now I'm doing it because the information hasn't changed. So there is two here. So I'd like
[22:45]
a resolution to approve each one separately. I'm not a resolution. Just a vote to approve
[22:49]
each one separately. If there's questions on it, but we really haven't made any changes,
[22:51]
we're still at low risk, not the lowest risk, but I just work a lot. Yeah. So if there's
[22:59]
something else you want us to do on that, we can. But I'm pretty content with a couple of
[23:03]
ways out. But we've the 25 on the 26 with nothing exact same, but we just need to approve
[23:08]
and each separately so that one because when they put for the audit next year they're going to pull these
[23:11]
minute meeting minutes and verify that we approve the 26 one during the calendar year.
[23:17]
I know they printed one because they're the exact same thing.
[23:20]
You want two motions which is one.
[23:24]
I'll move here to the 25 one.
[23:29]
All in favor.
[23:33]
I'll move we approve the 26 one.
[23:35]
Thank you.
[23:36]
All in favor.
[23:44]
Okay, perfect. Thank you.
[23:49]
Our resolution. So this one, I don't have the full list ready.
[23:55]
Like we normally do because we literally got this. The county's kind of changed the way we did this.
[24:01]
We've asked the reporters office for the reports like we've done in the past, but they hadn't got into us.
[24:07]
So we're kind of like wondering, well when the trader's office going to send us the report
[24:11]
because they started doing that once they started billing us, which is great, but it just
[24:14]
came Monday.
[24:15]
So we haven't had time to finalize the list, but we're going to have to give this to the
[24:18]
reporter's office before we meet again.
[24:22]
So I'm just asking you, it's the same resolution we approved every year.
[24:26]
We have an exhibit that I usually attached that's the list of all 7,000 lots that it says
[24:32]
Because these are the laws we're billing, we're finalizing that right now and kind of going through it, just to understand the process of that now.
[24:39]
So we have our list, it's kind of like a default, and then the Treasures Office gives us additions and deletions based on their records for our service district.
[24:48]
So we have to go through and kind of verify that that makes sense.
[24:51]
And then the other thing that we're trying to pin down right now is because we're, I don't think we ever did on the modifications.
[24:57]
If we have lots that go from no improvements to improvements, we're trying to get that
[25:02]
pinned down.
[25:03]
So, it's not a list isn't finalized, so I guess if you had approved a pending final
[25:09]
list, but-
[25:10]
Well, that shouldn't make any difference on the resolution, so-
[25:12]
Doesn't make any difference on the resolution, other than the exhibit is not here in front
[25:16]
of you as part of it, so- but it does call it a recall.
[25:21]
I don't have a problem with that.
[25:22]
Yeah, we just didn't have the time to get it done, and our next meeting had to be talked
[25:26]
October the county is going to want our list. This resolution and our list in
[25:32]
by September 15th, I remember it.
[25:35]
So I am motion to approve resolution 2026.
[25:40]
That's one.
[25:42]
I move that we approve resolution 20261.
[25:46]
A resolution imposed in a fee for solid waste collection service in the cedar mountain area
[25:50]
and assessing interest and penalties for late payment and non-payment
[25:54]
and allowing staff flexibility to update the list prior to submitting it for
[26:02]
a query. Thank you. Excellent. All second. Second. It needs to be a road
[26:08]
listen. It's got to be a road call-up. Yeah.
[26:11]
Zach Haskell, aye. Ben Aldrin, aye.
[26:25]
Chris
[26:25]
testing policy.
[26:29]
So you ask us to do something about this and so I did I talked to
[26:33]
Mark Grow, got it in place, I was just telling Kim we need to get something
[26:38]
written in our in our employee packet but it is in effect we have had one
[26:45]
random already. So what they'll do is every quarter to pull one random and then
[26:50]
once a year along with that random they'll pull an alcohol just just an
[26:56]
alcohol must be blood test or something.
[26:59]
Anyway, that was the point.
[27:00]
I was in here during the day.
[27:02]
So I brought the letter.
[27:04]
Is it?
[27:05]
I do.
[27:07]
The place management.
[27:10]
I don't know.
[27:13]
So I was never felt one.
[27:15]
Yeah, it doesn't wait for anyone.
[27:17]
It would have been anyone who said it.
[27:22]
Yeah, so we're going.
[27:24]
Okay, yeah, so we all have a yeah, we'll bring that back next next one or I know. Okay. Awesome. 2026 audit. So this isn't a packet. This is just the
[27:39]
the auto letter in the out of the financials themselves, you know, you can read through that, but we got to clean audit on everything as far as the financial statements and like so we did get the one exception for the state.
[27:54]
compliance on the proper assessment.
[28:00]
So, Kimball and Robert's cop, the
[28:05]
provisional thing? Yeah, the other ones that called me out on it. And when I
[28:10]
talked to them, they're like, yeah, nobody's been doing it during the, like
[28:13]
literally nobody that they had done it during the year.
[28:22]
I had been saving the little manual, which is kind of what the district's used.
[28:26]
It's not the full law, but it's what the state orders office puts out to basically say,
[28:29]
these are the basic rules you need to follow, and they changed it in May of 2026, and that's
[28:35]
where they added language basically, saying you needed to be done during the year prior to
[28:38]
that.
[28:38]
It didn't say anything.
[28:39]
It just said you had to complete one, and here's what this is why everybody thought.
[28:43]
It's due a hundred and eighty days after the end of your year. That's when it's due
[28:49]
But you have to complete it during the year
[28:51]
Yeah, exactly. So that's why everybody thought oh, it's got to be done a hundred and eighty days after your end
[28:56]
There's songs we get admitted we're all good, so just a dumb. All right. We're good to go now, so
[29:03]
Okay, there's nothing we need to do on the audit
[29:07]
Why don't you hang on to my
[29:14]
Give it file for us.
[29:19]
All right, that great really is property.
[29:22]
That's a good rest room.
[29:24]
That's exact.
[29:26]
There's a little thing, don't get too critical of my AI drawing that I did quickly.
[29:33]
So, that's great.
[29:34]
I mean, obviously, you guys all know the challenges we face with the tourism and the traffic and the small commerce district that we have.
[29:42]
What we're trying to do as a chamber which will hopefully or not eventually become an incorporated township.
[29:50]
But what we're trying to do is get some public classrooms out there.
[29:54]
No different than what's up to the reservoir and you want that.
[29:59]
We do have a...
[30:00]
First system in place. That's right near our lot that we hold our trash cans on our dumpsters on it and the village. The goals have one on the east end of the village, one on the west end of the village, our property lands on the west end of the village. We're using, I don't know, one fifth or one sixth of the lot. You can see the overlay in that top, it's small, but you can see in that top left corner. We're in phase 0.25 of trying to figure this out.
[30:29]
The chambers not like they have hundreds of thousands of dollars laying around or anything like that and they
[30:35]
Have some grant funding ability, but it's limited again not being municipality makes a big deal. So
[30:43]
In trying to figure out how to make this work for the town
[30:46]
I you know, I've been identifying different parcels and ways
[30:49]
You know the east end of the village actually the place for it ends up on you dot easement, which
[30:55]
You know whole another can of worms when you get down that road, but
[30:58]
But part of the trash site is a good property.
[31:04]
I don't know what the deal, a potential deal, or if anybody even has an app type for
[31:08]
the deal, what it can look like.
[31:10]
But more or less, we need to stretch the land to put the buildings 12 to 15 feet deep
[31:17]
by 45-ish feet long, the plus parking, you know, six, eight parking spaces across the front
[31:24]
of it.
[31:26]
So, you know, that 40 by 50 stretch of land is kind of what plus a road, you know, a driveway in and out.
[31:37]
It would work on our lot. I mean, the way we have our fence den area, you can see the dumpsters and the horseshoe there.
[31:43]
We could put it, you know, up to the back of that and then on the right hand side of that.
[31:47]
When you mean back, do you mean like back to the east of it?
[31:51]
I like the back of the restroom building to go along your fence.
[31:55]
So it would face it would face south.
[31:58]
It would actually face the building would face the way I have when I took that screenshot of on it.
[32:06]
Yeah.
[32:06]
It's facing east.
[32:09]
The top of that is east on north.
[32:11]
So the left of that picture is north.
[32:12]
Right.
[32:13]
The road is based.
[32:13]
We run in north and south.
[32:15]
The road would run in the east and west.
[32:18]
With the original road, right?
[32:19]
The actual road runs north and south, but the access into the property would be right
[32:25]
there on the right hand side of the dumpsters, which were on East and West, and then have
[32:30]
the building run north and south at the back of our fence, I mean, the building basically
[32:35]
could become the fence if we wanted it to be, I mean, you could shake this again.
[32:42]
This is just very conceptual thought process at this point.
[32:45]
I just need to know if there's going to possibility for it and how, once we know there's possibility
[32:52]
we'll obviously go into more detail on what it looks like, how funded all those kinds
[32:56]
of things.
[32:58]
The funding for this would be mostly grant funded, there's a trailhead that runs right there
[33:05]
so we'll be looking to Charles Grants and working with Kelly Stoll and all those kinds of
[33:09]
things.
[33:10]
On the maintenance we'd be looking towards TRT type funds working with the commission
[33:14]
on that.
[33:14]
Yeah, it's until we're in municipality that's really the only avenue we have for it.
[33:19]
So anything that this board did would be a favor and a thing and I, again, I don't know
[33:26]
what this deal could look like, whether it be carbonality, piece of property, and getting
[33:31]
approval to subdivide it smaller than the minimum through the commission because of what it's
[33:37]
for leasing the land and having a long term lease with the building on it.
[33:43]
I don't know. I mean, you guys would help, but we would come up with ideas as many as you could.
[33:49]
So what's your time frame? I mean, we have a month. Well, it'd be two months for us.
[33:53]
Oh, yeah. I mean, it would be wonderful if we could figure this out for spring.
[33:57]
Oh, so we could talk about it again for a couple of months and take about a little bit.
[34:03]
Funding's to put in a shovel on the dirt.
[34:08]
it would take at least six months, I just think so.
[34:12]
Yeah, and we're short on time going in the winter
[34:14]
to build, actually, build it at this point anyways.
[34:16]
So yeah, whether this happened now, or three years from now,
[34:21]
it's just, it's a problem that duct tape faces,
[34:23]
and I'm trying to identify ways to solve that problem.
[34:26]
I thought that, you know, where we're only using
[34:29]
a small portion of land, it wouldn't hurt to ask.
[34:33]
So that's a long way short of that, really.
[34:36]
I mean, we have that 10 acres, it's up by the,
[34:37]
You know, next door to the, where the, where the burden is and everything is.
[34:42]
And that's going to get developed at some point.
[34:44]
You know, the idea behind that is it'll be the town on the property of the community center of the park.
[34:50]
The, everything will be there on that corner where the horse rides are.
[34:52]
But that's a mile out, you know, a mile outside the village.
[34:56]
The village businesses, you know, the rod has three or four porta-potties.
[35:01]
True value has two or three porta-potties that they're paying for out of their own pocket just to try and alleviate their single-use restaurant that they have.
[35:07]
inside the building. So you think you'll get people to come down and use that?
[35:16]
That's quite a walk from one to the line of businesses there. I mean it's 1,000 yards from true value.
[35:23]
It's not too far. That's why we want to book in that you know that's the idea is you get all the
[35:28]
traffic going towards the true value by far the highest traffic with a lot of you know the few
[35:32]
restaurants in between so direct them kind of out and most people probably be
[35:38]
driving to it or they'd be in their side by side coming through town he wants to
[35:41]
stop there head back out yeah yeah that's why that's why the trail as far
[35:50]
as funding goes the trail man and maintenance a management kind of things you
[35:53]
know the can have a we can help us build a rush room or you can have them go on
[35:57]
the trees it's kind of your call at that point as far as trails communities
[36:03]
So we would probably put that out to bid, and then funding wise for that from CRT type
[36:11]
thought process because the majority of the use, it wouldn't be locals, it would be
[36:14]
the majority of the trial on tourism and stuff, so, again, very, very infant thought process,
[36:21]
but it's hard to move forward unless you know what your options are and you let it look like
[36:25]
so.
[36:28]
So put it on the agenda for two weeks I mean two months and we can move all the dumpsters
[36:34]
to man was great and we would not have to go into that to nice good try to do that.
[36:39]
I mean I'm not kidding, that would be fantastic, all I know is that it's trash going down the
[36:46]
highway.
[36:46]
Are you ready for that heavy?
[36:47]
No, I'm not.
[36:48]
Exactly, I'll just.
[36:50]
As long as I see on the little blue sign that says you know the highway cleanup is sponsored
[36:56]
by this district that's big to make that worth, but the amount of trash we already pick
[37:01]
up off the side of the highway, I definitely like that the dumpsters are close to subdivisions
[37:06]
but that idea of having a dumpster site at each subdivision I think is definitely golden
[37:12]
for that but it's a big parcel land that we're not utilizing and I don't know maybe there's
[37:18]
a thought that I before me of what more we would use that land for but I don't know that there
[37:23]
in the kind of a drainage.
[37:26]
On the right hand driving in mud, you all open a can of worms.
[37:30]
Far right hand side is the natural spring that runs right there.
[37:33]
It's the far right hand side of the property.
[37:35]
You can see the drainage on the overlay.
[37:38]
And it kind of cuts off that corner.
[37:40]
That's why that north-east, or the north-central portion of the lot,
[37:46]
makes the most sense as far as I go.
[37:48]
So we've raised that dumpster area about three feet.
[37:52]
Yeah, we've probably put three feet in there.
[37:54]
Yep.
[37:55]
We'll be learning there.
[37:58]
And that'll be all part of it.
[37:59]
And there's a sewer connection.
[38:00]
If you see that, personally, on the overview,
[38:03]
but there's that building down there on the bottom of your page.
[38:06]
There's a sewer connection right there.
[38:09]
So the water district owns where that little building is.
[38:12]
The water district owns that.
[38:13]
The piece, the rectangle with the peninsula
[38:16]
in the middle is owned by Garking.
[38:21]
And I was at the water district meeting tonight because they're talking about potentially
[38:26]
doing something with their land to you, but again, I'm just trying to weigh options and
[38:30]
see whatever.
[38:31]
Do they know what they're talking about doing with theirs yet?
[38:33]
They want to get rid of it.
[38:35]
They don't have any use for it.
[38:36]
It was the old water system was based out of that.
[38:38]
And so they acquired it when they bought the old water system.
[38:41]
And then that little shack shed that they had they fixed up a little bit and cleaned it up.
[38:45]
But the water district doesn't have a use for that loss.
[38:48]
They're going to probably get rid of that law.
[38:50]
It's 0.28 acres with a 30 foot easement.
[38:53]
It makes things pretty tight.
[38:55]
In order to use that, we probably
[38:56]
want to try and see if Garking would let go of that peninsula
[39:00]
because it's outside of their fence didn't area.
[39:03]
It's doable that way, too.
[39:04]
Don't get me wrong.
[39:05]
I'm exploring both options and trying
[39:08]
to see what we can do both ways.
[39:09]
But the sewer connection is there
[39:11]
so to be able to come over down there,
[39:14]
we could we could get there so King County and King County like now keep it
[39:23]
close to the road yeah probably just like roadies yeah they just have it
[39:31]
they want to make that road water problem okay and once upon a time there was a
[39:36]
plan from the basically the hardware store corner all the way to the top of
[39:39]
spring drive all the way to the top of the cut to improve that and pave it all the
[39:43]
way so that because the cut washes out so badly I mean county roads done tons so they have
[39:49]
a huge sediment pond basically right there to help with all that drainage and stuff but
[39:55]
one of the land owners up in the up offspring drag wouldn't take the trade on the lot
[40:00]
that they offered them and pretty well shut that project down but that whole road technically
[40:05]
along in that whole road should be up through 4 feet and yeah you know whether a dog
[40:12]
Drugs and satellites and walks on its own in the next two years, five years, ten years
[40:17]
I don't know, but regardless, we're trying to make steps on all the actions that we can.
[40:26]
What about putting that in front, move the dumpsters back a little bit and have the road go around
[40:31]
behind the restaurant for the dumpster?
[40:33]
100% yeah, I mean we can, anyway, it's waiting for this border to be willing to be put in there.
[40:38]
They're making it a little easier for people to...
[40:40]
It would be nice to just throw up the rope through the dumpster, so maybe that wouldn't
[40:44]
be the plan either.
[40:46]
Something to think about.
[40:47]
Yeah.
[40:48]
No, I mean there's a lot of ways we can slice it up and keep it around the road definitely
[40:54]
makes sense too.
[40:55]
The height of the dumpster is back behind.
[40:57]
And then my other question would be liability of some sort?
[41:01]
Yeah, we'd have to definitely figure out a lot of stuff out.
[41:04]
Like I said, this was just a thought and one better place than this conversation with
[41:09]
start it. Yeah. There's a way to do it. I mean, that's what we do at this school property. Yeah.
[41:15]
You know, right here, just, just, yeah, absolutely. Stuff that they sell. Just do a lot of
[41:20]
companies for no money and, yeah. And then the state bank liability, with at least that
[41:25]
almost why they're building the building, there's ways to do it. Yeah. Yeah. The county uses it
[41:30]
for the holiday or the city does for a holiday event parking or whatever it is. Yeah. So,
[41:35]
So, yeah, anyways, do you want to let me know your thoughts and I'll progress and work
[41:40]
on it however, which way everybody decides the best and I can let you guys know what the,
[41:47]
like you might know I was definitely and their board was definitely chewing on the idea
[41:52]
how it was just as good idea on theirs as ours or not.
[41:55]
I mean, I don't know how you get one of the two.
[41:59]
I don't know what other option there is beyond that for this side of the village.
[42:03]
But yeah, anyways,
[42:07]
okay. Thank you. No, let's think about it. Yeah, we're getting it next meeting
[42:14]
All right a couple of things we have seen Bob for so long
[42:22]
But anybody talked to can I have a city about replacing? I
[42:27]
Have talked to him and he's wanted to stay on but it's been a couple months
[42:34]
So I wonder if I just don't see him coming back at this point
[42:38]
You don't need to respond to, like I said, in text and stuff.
[42:42]
You're not saying anything.
[42:43]
You're not doing respond?
[42:44]
OK, yeah, I can visit with the city.
[42:48]
I think you have a visit with the city.
[42:50]
Yep, I can do that.
[42:51]
I mean, you're basically, you know, the whole board
[42:58]
is kind of tied to the depth that I have.
[43:02]
That's Valley people are, you know,
[43:04]
we're just outnumbered, but you know,
[43:25]
I know when Scott Colson got off the City Council he expressed interest because he knew
[43:36]
about, you know, Robert's situation, everything. And so he expressed interest. He was on the
[43:43]
Conservancy Board for a minute. He was like, that would be, that guy would enjoy this for
[43:51]
So he would be the Jeff would be a good, you know, you have to on hospital board.
[43:58]
Jeff?
[43:59]
No.
[44:02]
You've been on almost as long as I've been on this one.
[44:09]
20 years.
[44:11]
I'm not going to make it that long.
[44:13]
I can promise you that.
[44:16]
When did you come on?
[44:18]
I don't know.
[44:21]
Well, when I retired, we were thinking I had 25 years.
[44:27]
So I had 20 or 18, that's between
[44:32]
20 and 25.
[44:34]
So I don't like that.
[44:37]
You're glad you can't draw a retirement from this place.
[44:40]
Well, I think too.
[44:41]
A little man is the other day that I've been here for so long.
[44:46]
I own part of this place that I get nothing.
[44:55]
How much I have never put in for travel, but I don't know how much I have never put in for travel.
[45:03]
That's why I didn't show up. We set it up so you couldn't, I couldn't get out of it. It had to be more than so in my house, isn't it 30 miles?
[45:14]
Not in the car, changing up. I could have got, I could put one in and proceed around.
[45:20]
Yeah, it would at least pay for the pizza.
[45:24]
like I say if all this does give me bragging rights it gives me nothing else
[45:30]
except the opportunity to sort of give you guys you know where you should get
[45:35]
you a plaque I'll bet you want to serve against a Steve Bauer member in the
[45:39]
Could you do that for that then?
[45:41]
For sure.
[45:42]
I know.
[45:44]
I have the way we're way off base.
[45:48]
So.
[45:49]
But obviously with the symptoms.
[45:50]
And then they'll put out a thing.
[45:53]
And then we'll see.
[45:55]
So.
[45:56]
My other thought is, do we do anything for John's celebration?
[45:59]
So, yeah.
[46:01]
So there's, they're having that Saturday.
[46:04]
Laurie, our gateway, she was really close to him.
[46:07]
If she wanted to buy some balloons and stuff and so I said go to go to honeys and so we'll cover the balloons and some donuts or something so I think it's like $150.
[46:18]
So I said just we'll just that'll kind of be our part and I'll go to it to it and I think that'll be good enough really.
[46:29]
I don't know if you'll have any family. Well there's two boys over here and brother and brother.
[46:37]
Yeah. Yeah, we've, uh, we've messed up John. It's pretty, pretty get that round. And I
[46:45]
hard to keep up on the stuff. We did things. We're getting Craig to come out.
[46:51]
Because he had a bunch of files on his computer. He's got files for his plasma cutter.
[46:55]
And, and we got into that. So, you know, still trying to learn how to run it, but that's
[47:05]
I'm trying to figure this out.
[47:09]
I've seen the first guy.
[47:11]
I mean, that was a great deal.
[47:15]
He was good before, but he's just grown up, and I don't know.
[47:19]
So he's teachers.
[47:20]
That's great.
[47:22]
We just answered on it since the night and day with the work we've got right now.
[47:28]
The front walk we've got.
[47:28]
Yeah, we've got it, we've got some good things going on.
[47:32]
I know we've spent a lot of money, but we have some really good things going on.
[47:37]
I don't get a lot for your money.
[47:39]
Yeah.
[47:41]
Here's some of the issues I have for you, on the financial side of this, and it's D.P.
[47:44]
Academy stuff.
[47:46]
But salaries and wages, so total compensation has a percent of gross revenues.
[47:51]
So would you think we're spending more of our revenue on salaries and wages now than we
[47:55]
were 10 years ago?
[47:56]
I have no idea.
[47:57]
We're not.
[47:58]
We're 40% of our growth rate in 2018, or at 36% right now, so we've added a lot of
[48:06]
solid and wages, but we've grown more than enough to come here, which actually did
[48:11]
surprise me.
[48:12]
Well, the salaries and wages have gone up.
[48:14]
The salaries have gone up significantly, we've got more personnel, but we're basically what
[48:19]
that tells me is we're keeping up with the growth, and we're actually just, and I looked
[48:23]
at it over the course of years, it just kind of every little bit, we're just coming
[48:26]
down a little bit.
[48:26]
So, that's an efficiency measure, is what it is.
[48:31]
I don't have an industry statistic, I want to let him feel
[48:33]
should be at, but the fact that's a decrease, I think,
[48:36]
is actually a really good thing, honestly.
[48:38]
Maybe since we're totally non-profit,
[48:40]
we'll have to look into another race, round the race,
[48:42]
is it what we're doing to get that way?
[48:45]
Well, so that we can keep that up.
[48:48]
So that we can keep that up.
[48:52]
So that we can keep better.
[48:54]
We do if you look at the pay scale we're we're pretty good right now. I mean we we really are
[49:00]
I think that's a difference between five years ago. We could try to hire you at one applicant and now we've got we had nine you had nine applicants. I think I was
[49:10]
Get one heart of it. So we're headed to the other day that said to hot to buy the median home you have to make 80 something thousand a year. Yeah, can our guys buy a median home?
[49:22]
Well, one of them is good.
[49:23]
Is that national average or is it?
[49:25]
That was a national average, but...
[49:27]
Stay on our homes, there's expense here.
[49:28]
No, no, I agree with you.
[49:30]
I agree.
[49:31]
I mean, I think we're coming up slowly.
[49:35]
Yeah.
[49:35]
I mean, we've built that inflation adjustment in an air,
[49:38]
which has helped us keep in check with that.
[49:42]
I mean, the thing you really have to take into consideration
[49:46]
with our situation, too, is benefits.
[49:49]
Yes.
[49:49]
We don't have anybody who are cost on them is less than 90 grand a year.
[49:55]
I mean, our insurance alone now is pushing 29,000.
[50:01]
But if you look on a current employee basis, because I have to submit that report every year,
[50:05]
so I look at it.
[50:06]
Like, when you factor in your rest retirement, health insurance, and then their compensation,
[50:14]
nobody's cost is less than about 95,000 on the cheapest end.
[50:18]
So I just said you got to look at that in totality and say buy their house out of their
[50:23]
take home.
[50:23]
I don't disagree with that.
[50:26]
I agree with that.
[50:27]
I mean give them a title, everything that don't mean a thing because the paycheck is
[50:30]
what's here.
[50:31]
Agreed.
[50:32]
But they also, their health insurance is really good.
[50:35]
Right.
[50:35]
And things like that.
[50:37]
And they don't have to worry about retirement.
[50:38]
And so being a self-employed, I pay for my health insurance, I pay for my own retirement.
[50:42]
That takes a lot out of the paycheck.
[50:43]
But if you can't afford to buy a house so you rent your whole life when you retire, you're out on your ear.
[50:50]
If you can't afford to rent anymore.
[50:52]
Yeah.
[50:54]
I also disagree with you.
[50:55]
I mean, that's the problem we have here.
[50:56]
Just real estate values in general is bad.
[50:59]
I mean, off topic, but the one I dealt with all the time, in the last month, I've had four different clients.
[51:05]
Two came to me wanting to buy businesses, two wanted to sell businesses, and the business itself can't justify anywhere near the real estate.
[51:13]
Right.
[51:14]
I've got one is $10 million.
[51:15]
The real estate is no question worth $10 million.
[51:17]
Nobody's even debating that.
[51:18]
The business is not worth more than $5 million.
[51:20]
It cannot justify more than $5 million.
[51:22]
I'm a purchase price.
[51:23]
And he's like, so what do I do?
[51:24]
Like, I don't know what to tell you.
[51:25]
I said, there's nothing you can do there.
[51:27]
I said, if a real estate speculator comes along and wants to give $10 million, then it will
[51:32]
sell.
[51:32]
But they're not coming in to run that business.
[51:34]
And hopefully they can run that business and make the payment on that.
[51:37]
And that's a problem.
[51:38]
I've got several points.
[51:39]
We're stuck in that right now.
[51:40]
and it's kind of that same thing just on an employment side.
[51:44]
The real estate buyers are brutal.
[51:47]
But I think with that being said,
[51:49]
I think it's worth every year, like we do,
[51:52]
to look at the inflation,
[51:56]
but also to look at some cost comparisons.
[51:59]
Your cola really doesn't cover the increased cost every year.
[52:03]
It don't.
[52:04]
No, probably not.
[52:05]
But if we looked at some different wage studies and stuff
[52:08]
and we've got contacts with other people.
[52:11]
But we've got several increases along the way.
[52:14]
Well, you know, you guys have been great, like mid-year, you know, I'm merit-race.
[52:20]
Yeah.
[52:21]
I think it was Daniel and like, hey, this kid, you know, he's going out and really stepped it
[52:26]
up.
[52:27]
I think he needs a couple of dollars and so, I don't know, I think we watch it pretty close.
[52:33]
I mean, I'm very, I agree a few hundred percent.
[52:38]
But at the same time we've got to make sure that we I get a little nervous. I was happy to see that we are
[52:43]
36% instead of 40% and so I think that's a good thing
[52:47]
But so yeah, so we try and bounce and I totally understand that. I was a shot for a minute
[52:52]
Desmond labs down in St George and I could not keep a good welder because they couldn't afford to live there
[52:59]
Yeah, I agree
[53:01]
It is it's hard to buy a house TJ wants to buy a house, you know
[53:05]
You know, you're $2,000 a month by the house, you know, so it's a real bill.
[53:16]
But I think, along with the wages where we have nine applicants, I think the culture
[53:24]
that you guys have created out there says a lot too.
[53:27]
People want to come work with our team, and I don't think that's always been the case.
[53:33]
So I think it's hats off to do you guys to your staff because people want to work with you and for you
[53:41]
The money is nice, too, but I think we have a really good team right now. I'm gonna get you a T-shirt since I'm gonna make trash sexy
[53:56]
But really I think it says a lot so we have great guys and I think we have pretty good
[54:03]
We meet every month on monthly basis on a Tuesday.
[54:11]
Everybody has any forms they can.
[54:14]
I mean, nobody uses a does.
[54:16]
Justin Wall put up with some ones.
[54:17]
She was all out there.
[54:19]
No, no.
[54:20]
It's all the upsets because you write this quote on the wall.
[54:24]
He had talked and drafted about him with his jogboard quote.
[54:28]
That's not easy.
[54:30]
I was miscorded.
[54:35]
And I came from my niece's seat and clothes, where she got her from, I had no idea.
[54:44]
It was done enough to tell Floyd about it.
[54:49]
I love it.
[54:51]
I'll keep it up.
[54:52]
But it's because of the board, too, I mean, you know, when I first hired on, I think Dan
[54:59]
I didn't really agree that things weren't quite as easy and I think it's great, I push it, yes, yeah, it's good.
[55:06]
I really do.
[55:07]
Yeah, once you finally got enough people to outvote me then we're starting.
[55:12]
I had to start faking them all.
[55:14]
You got to understand one thing.
[55:17]
I was trained by the aisle.
[55:19]
I was trained by the aisle.
[55:20]
That's what I didn't want to say.
[55:29]
And I like the guy, but I'm conservative, but he's worse than I am, and certainly he's not bad.
[55:37]
Well, thanks to our board, I really appreciate what you guys did, because it seems we were really well.
[55:45]
And at least this often, we couldn't do without.
[55:47]
Yeah, it's just very good, and if anybody needs to raise, they have, honestly, they spend,
[55:58]
I don't know how many hours this will just scale and all that.
[56:02]
You and I just got off that phone call and I'm just grateful that they understood what you were talking about.
[56:08]
No, I got off of that Zoom call. I mean, I have no idea what he just said.
[56:13]
I was sitting on my phone, I hope Ben's got this.
[56:18]
And he's like, yeah, you guys got it, you guys got it, I'm like, whoa.
[56:25]
I got outside, I said, I was going really fast.
[56:30]
We've got training on your skill.
[56:34]
At this point, I think, well, I think at this point the only thing we need is get the computer interface with the skill.
[56:41]
myself. I think we're up and going. I've got the printer that's coming. I've got to get it.
[56:46]
A little pretty rough set. But there's going to be some more to careful on that software. It does
[56:51]
a lot of stuff. It has a lot. And I haven't seen the output as far as the reports yet. We don't have
[56:56]
that data in. We're just trying to get the setup done. I wish, maybe there's a way. I wish we could
[57:01]
lock like half of that row because I can just see what that one Justin has to train to get people.
[57:12]
That's all the minutes.
[57:18]
We're going to have to be given our gay people a race because we have to hire.
[57:25]
There are going to be a lot of good work.
[57:27]
Two computer screens and two scale readouts and two scale printers and they are going to freak out.
[57:35]
I think all of us work.
[57:36]
I don't think I'm a guy.
[57:38]
I don't want to be an idiot.
[57:42]
One of the guys says, well he knows what he's doing, but he doesn't explain it.
[57:46]
Yeah, we have to do that.
[57:48]
So just watch what he does.
[57:49]
He's going to explain all he wants.
[57:51]
He's just going to have to show.
[57:54]
He might not be wrong.
[57:59]
That being said, real quick, and we'll go home.
[58:02]
I wonder if down the road, if just a scale person, like a full-time scale person would
[58:09]
be, and then have like a, I don't know, a cell that can come in and work on it.
[58:15]
No, they don't have people that are more than...
[58:18]
Yeah, we do have three, but it's a very interesting, it's going to be.
[58:24]
I'm worried about the accuracy on this because it's way more technical than what they can do.
[58:31]
But I just something we might want to listen to.
[58:33]
No, for sure.
[58:34]
You know, we're paying the three wages, and I don't know.
[58:37]
Maybe we can figure out some way we can do it with the part times we don't have to offer insurance.
[58:42]
But I just think maybe we can do it.
[58:46]
It's really nice to be able to find somebody recently retired that wants to.
[58:51]
How much did this pay?
[58:52]
Hey, come on down with that.
[58:56]
I'll bring it back to the board next week.
[58:58]
We've got interviews in the morning.
[59:00]
Yeah, you want me to help you?
[59:02]
I don't have to work too hard.
[59:04]
Yeah, you don't have to work too hard.
[59:07]
Just remember, you got 30 seconds.
[59:09]
Yeah, it made it not to scale.
[59:11]
No five minutes.
[59:13]
Yeah, never mind.
[59:17]
We did get you to get a smart phone,
[59:18]
so that was a big step.
[59:20]
Wow, we can move.
[59:22]
So probably that's still a lot smarter than the phone, so.
[59:28]
I need a motion.
[59:29]
It's just...
[59:30]
It's just...
[59:30]
It's all in favor!
