	March my teeth. Go ahead and call this meeting with Floyd County Solid Waste Management District Board of Directors. You would	00:00:00
	rise for the pledge for it.	00:00:03
	Pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God,	00:00:08
	indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.	00:00:14
	Happy 1st day of Spring where it's a little cool and windy outside the summertime in the assembly room here at Pineview. Always.	00:00:24
	All right. So let's go ahead and get started. Started.	00:00:34
	Do we do a roll caller here typically or you usually just?	00:00:38
	OK. Do you want to call the rolled in?	00:00:42
	What works for me OK.	00:00:48
	All right, well, looks like the only person.	00:00:52
	Missing today. Is Mr. Gang here, Mayor Graham?	00:00:56
	Approval of the January 16 Minutes.	00:01:02
	Motion to Approve. We have Motion to approve. Thank you Second.	00:01:06
	I was. I'll second that. So I got a motion in a second.	00:01:12
	Any discussion?	00:01:18
	All in favor signify by saying aye, aye any opposed?	00:01:20
	Motion character.	00:01:24
	Approval the February provisional claims.	00:01:26
	Much different. I'll 2nd that I got a motion in a second. Any further discussion I just. I just have a clarification Scott, I know	00:01:33
	the answer.	00:01:37
	In February and in early March, we purchased fuel from.	00:01:42
	Road department, but then later on March is when we had our own tank install.	00:01:48
	Out there at early March. So that's why there's.	00:01:54
	From the Floyd County Road Department, then Jacobi later on. OK, That's what I was thinking. Thank you.	00:01:59
	I'm good. All right. So I got a motion in a second.	00:02:07
	Any further discussion?	00:02:13
	OK, all in favor signify by saying aye, aye, Anthony opposed.	00:02:15
	Look first.	00:02:19
	Approval Resolution 202401 Amendment Exhibit A.	00:02:22
	All favor signify by saying aye opposed.	00:02:41
	Motion carries.	00:02:45
	Approval of the Resolution 202401 Amendment Exhibit A.	00:02:47
	Again just clarification on that and given the off month that the President and Vice President Board authorized to claim.	00:02:52
	Pending formal approval of following months that allows us to.	00:03:03
	Mr. Fox, have you looked at this? Is everything good for the resolution side?	00:03:12
	I don't see that I have it here.	00:03:19
	Probably would not be with that.	00:03:23
	Yeah. This John brought up at the last meeting that maybe there's a way that we could reduce the amount of paperwork. So what we	00:03:27
	purposely did is leave out all the financials that are somewhat the majority part of the 31 pages in this case, left out the state	00:03:35
	of resolution that we've been using since the implementation of these.	00:03:44
	Provision.	00:03:53
	OK, so I'm going to make a motion that we approve the resolution.	00:03:56
	2024-01 with the and allow the president to sign outside the meeting with the contingency that the attorney reviews and is	00:04:01
	approved is OK with it.	00:04:06
	Again, the resolution has to change. It's just that we need the work approval what we add names to the vendor list.	00:04:12
	If somebody's not on that list, then you're not so empowered. These would be the original resolutions to provide the traditional	00:04:20
	approval. So no change at all ever to the original resolution that enables president, vice president.	00:04:29
	All we did was add a couple vendors to the list.	00:04:38
	OK, that's fine. All right, then I I will withdraw the original motion and make a motion to approve the resolution as advertised.	00:04:43
	I'll second. OK. I got a motion in a second. Any further discussion?	00:04:49
	All in favor signify by saying aye, aye any opposed?	00:04:55
	Motion carries.	00:04:59
	Director's report.	00:05:01
	So we have a substantive agenda today. That doesn't necessarily mean that we will run time at all, but please what we have to talk	00:05:03
	about today.	00:05:09
	You can always start with Marketing and communications and you'll see in recovery records reporting metrics for.	00:05:15
	But then full points around the school education initiative that you're aware of and a couple other things going on. So I'd like	00:05:26
	my colleague Laura Riggle to come up and provide a little bit of an update on her initiative to give recycling education to the	00:05:32
	4th grade classroom account.	00:05:38
	Thank you for hearing me speak and good afternoon.	00:05:47
	I'm a retired educator from Greater Clark and it's been my privilege to have this opportunity to reach out to 4th graders and try	00:05:51
	to inspire them to become ambassadors of recycling. I want to. Really. I.	00:06:00
	Point to Mr. Tony Duffy. He has been very instrumental in getting the word out to New Albany Floyd County Schools.	00:06:10
	Elementary education, yes. And he he wanted the whole package. He wanted to see it and I wrote the curriculum and he has just been	00:06:20
	ecstatic about getting it started. We have a teacher, Mr. Scott Birch, who has been instrumental in recycling for a few years now.	00:06:31
	And it's just a tremendous partner for recycling. Dave and Davo have worked with Scott, and other teachers at Mount Tabor have	00:06:43
	joined forces with this, as well as Miss Hannah Striegel at Christian Academy. She's welcomed me into her class and I've begun	00:06:52
	teaching there. We also have Grant Line Elementary and Slave Run coming up in April, so I'll be starting classes with them.	00:07:02
	And this fall, Saint Mary's of the Knobs. They would have started earlier, but due to a few conflicts back in January, I was	00:07:13
	unable to get there. But they're starting in the fall and so is SLN and Jones, so I'm very happy to be of service to these.	00:07:21
	Children and their teachers. It's been a positive experience so far. Lots of good questions, lots of questions. I've had to go in	00:07:29
	Google, so I'm I'm looking forward to continuing that with them.	00:07:36
	As of today, there's been 29.	00:07:45
	Lessons taught OK since it started in February.	00:07:50
	And I think that's kind of rounds it out again. We want them to help us.	00:07:54
	Increase recycling in the county 50% you know by 2030.	00:08:01
	So I'm hoping that we can continue that. Laura, is this a one time visit or do you go back?	00:08:07
	Additional times or what?	00:08:14
	Mount Tabor I know Scott had already begun recycling with his kids, so I think there were like 3 lessons I did with them and the	00:08:17
	other three teachers that teach 4th grade, I did 8 lessons with them and I may go back for some experiments with them.	00:08:26
	About how many 4th graders do you think you're reaching? I don't know how many there are in Floyd County and how many you have.	00:08:37
	Reached at this point 1200, if I go to all the schools.	00:08:43
	And in the paper that you have regarding the education initiative?	00:08:49
	They they have been notified of it, but some of them did not get that information maybe from their principal just yet.	00:08:55
	And plus, we have to remember their standardized testing going on. So I look for this fall.	00:09:03
	To be a greater push for this.	00:09:09
	Thank you for your time. Thank you, Thank you.	00:09:15
	Now maybe we can help the Holy Family a little bit. It's been tough to get in there and Our Lady of Perpetual Health, actually. So	00:09:21
	we have a little momentum with Drop me a text with a reminder and I will see what I can do.	00:09:27
	Yeah, I should show up.	00:09:35
	Have Operations Manager, Dave Watson with us today as well. Wanted Dave to talk about the completion of the building, renovation	00:09:39
	and a few other points as well that you'll find interesting.	00:09:47
	Ladies and gentlemen.	00:09:58
	We are making progress, there's no doubt there.	00:10:00
	The construction is completed as far as the structure.	00:10:03
	We're in the process now of going to get some inside walls.	00:10:08
	And do our finished work inside the.	00:10:13
	It's we are surprised that once we got to look at how big the room became.	00:10:17
	And looking from the shed to now our our new home, we're in the process. Now like I said, you want to get some materials we'll be	00:10:24
	moving out of.	00:10:29
	What would be the?	00:10:35
	Building for the Baylor and so we have to get that cleaned out before we can progress.	00:10:37
	Were there, we were able to get the Hazmat connex box.	00:10:43
	Moved from down.	00:10:50
	Know about that, so you have in your packet.	00:10:53
	Pictures.	00:10:58
	A raise.	00:11:01
	Specifically built through this and that has been sitting at the wastewater treatment plant.	00:11:06
	For 20 years, Yeah, for years.	00:11:11
	I've been with.	00:11:16
	Yeah, almost six years.	00:11:17
	And we've never used it since. I've been with the firm, as we would love to call it.	00:11:19
	So but we were able to move it.	00:11:27
	And Davos and Jessica were working today, you know, working on our entrance way.	00:11:32
	It's It is designed for this specific purpose of storing hazardous waste.	00:11:41
	And materials.	00:11:47
	As that's its function and it's what it will be.	00:11:49
	We.	00:11:54
	Have just a few items left.	00:11:55
	Finalize that, but it is.	00:11:57
	Near completion. So essentially you'll recall that we have the second pull bar that we dedicated to long term employee, Dorothy	00:12:01
	Lee.	00:12:05
	Back when she left in the summertime.	00:12:09
	And that will.	00:12:13
	Will be now reassigned in its primary task. I'll ask Dave Nashville to talk about that in a second.	00:12:16
	But essentially.	00:12:23
	The.	00:12:27
	Yesterday by Pageant in fact will be the center of our HHW activities and feel really good about that. And I'm going to say thank	00:12:29
	you to Adam Dickey for making the contact. Thanks to Mike Wallace of the city's wastewater utility for his cooperation as well to	00:12:37
	allow Hedges to come in and cherry pick the container.	00:12:44
	Didn't even have to takedown the fence, lifted it over the fence and put it on the flatbed and brought it out to the atoms. So	00:12:52
	we're delighted with that. That was a thoughtful move to capture that, to give us as much capability in terms of efficiently and	00:12:59
	effectively manage HHW.	00:13:06
	I'm I'm going to ask this question real quick.	00:13:16
	The hydrant was obviously there first.	00:13:20
	But do we place this there with the idea that it would also be close to the hydrant, the fire hydrant?	00:13:23
	Or was that?	00:13:29
	The space was the preferable space. The hybrid is not operational.	00:13:33
	Oh, you see that tag?	00:13:38
	Well, yeah, I did see that. I did see that, yes.	00:13:42
	It's like because I actually had, I kind of had the same question, I noticed that the hybrid was out of services. Has it been out	00:13:44
	of service for a long time up there?	00:13:48
	OK, yeah, there was, there was a water leak in along the roadway.	00:13:54
	And because it was a.	00:14:01
	Whether they call it property or probably own the, we own the hydrant, yes.	00:14:04
	American Water was not involved with it. It was up to us to make any repairs and put it back in service, and that's never been	00:14:10
	done. I've never turned it off. I've never.	00:14:15
	As a result. That's why we have 1/4.	00:14:22
	Adam, I do want to say that they get a lot of pets, so this is pet friendly. If the dogs want to use that, they're more than	00:14:27
	welcome to.	00:14:31
	Sure. I I guess as a side note.	00:14:36
	That's terrible. I don't know what the repairs would be to the line or the hydrant, but.	00:14:40
	Don't. Don't we want that? Yeah, I would think that it would probably be worth looking at, quite honestly. It really depends on	00:14:47
	where the closest hybrid is.	00:14:52
	To that well played down the fire department is me apart. I I mean I'm I'm I'm thinking. I'm thinking my my fireman would would	00:14:57
	very much appreciate me.	00:15:03
	Raising that concern if something actually occurred there.	00:15:09
	This aside, I mean, honestly, you know, we've talked about it really in the context of bathroom facilities and just have never	00:15:14
	found it that fiscally doable to.	00:15:20
	Make that happen, honestly and all kidding aside, and we certainly will paint it.	00:15:28
	Make it an attractive icon of some kind, But you know, no plans to move it at this point in time.	00:15:35
	Well, I I mean, my first thought was that was.	00:15:45
	Pretty convenient placement, but I didn't think about it having the tag on it either. So and they talk a little bit about the	00:15:48
	partnership with the folks next door that have helped make that grading possible. We've had a real good neighbor in the National	00:15:55
	Guard Armory.	00:16:01
	Through some contacts, we talked with them.	00:16:10
	They've come over with their bobcat and have done some work for us.	00:16:13
	Doing some grading, doing some digging.	00:16:18
	They have just and.	00:16:21
	It's always been a real pleasure to work with them.	00:16:23
	Are they? They like having things, things to do, and if they're not busy, they.	00:16:27
	Jump on and they come right on over.	00:16:32
	So it has really been a pleasure working with them.	00:16:35
	I did spring for some pizzas up there down to.	00:16:41
	You know, to help the guys out, they probably like that.	00:16:44
	But now they have, they really have helped a lot and and they're always there and they they said anytime if we're not busy we'll	00:16:51
	be glad to help out. And so it's been really good neighbors. And then we'll start the HHW collection from the springtime on April	00:16:57
	the 13th.	00:17:03
	And that's something that William Lara and another one of our employees, Raymond Thomas.	00:17:11
	Maybe just generally on The Saturdays from 9:00 to 1:00 with everybody pitching in as needed.	00:17:17
	So we'll report that.	00:17:24
	Dave. Dave helped by getting the entire place where there's no current inventory.	00:17:27
	Including some complicated unknown chemicals that have been leftover.	00:17:35
	Way to address.	00:17:42
	Have tested and then transported off site within the next week.	00:17:43
	Scott, you you help me with this.	00:17:49
	When you were talking, I have an idea or just a thought about our pricing. Is our pricing in good shape when it comes to the	00:17:54
	collection of?	00:17:58
	You balance the.	00:18:04
	$4.00 a gallon for paint.	00:18:08
	The couple bucks for cans of pesticides or what have you.	00:18:12
	More often than not, do the pushback from one of the cities who don't like paying.	00:18:20
	So clearly the county is subsidizing this activity.	00:18:26
	And my judgment, we're at the right price point now.	00:18:31
	Not to disadvantage ourselves.	00:18:36
	In disincentivizing.	00:18:40
	Maybe had somebody and we had a.	00:18:45
	We have several people that are longtime patrons and we've had a lady came through the other day and she wanted us to know.	00:18:50
	That the work we are doing at the site has made a big difference as far as the looks, she said. She was. She was impressed at how	00:19:00
	we were getting things cleaned up and looking more professional.	00:19:07
	And so of course we thanked her for that, but she she was adamant about San Diego. You go really put some effort in that here and	00:19:15
	so sometimes it shows.	00:19:20
	Sometimes you don't think it does, but it does. So we've made some good efforts and we've got more to do.	00:19:26
	When he also.	00:19:33
	Were the yeah, the cardboard. It had a grassy area there.	00:19:35
	You know, we had your dumpsters and then you got rid of grass. You put gravel down, right? Yeah.	00:19:41
	Yeah, we are. Once, once we get finished with our grading, we're going to try a different alignment on the trailer parking.	00:19:47
	And we're kind of experimenting to see what works best, right? But we are.	00:19:54
	We're looking to be more efficient.	00:20:00
	That's what the way we're doing.	00:20:04
	Let me ask the question.	00:20:07
	TV's and stuff, you store those outside, is that right?	00:20:10
	But flat screen is going to.	00:20:15
	OK.	00:20:21
	Good. Thank you.	00:20:22
	To talk a little bit about the new life and vision for the old HHW building. And again, remind you, Dave, how long have you been	00:20:25
	with us now? Almost 2 two years in September. That's amazing. So a year and a half retired from the Kentucky truck.	00:20:34
	We look at him as our deficiency expert.	00:20:46
	You know, 6 Sigma, you know he's the guy who.	00:20:49
	Talks about when he's at home at night, he gets up from his chair to build a kitchen. He tries to think what can I do between here	00:20:53
	and there to be more efficient and I'll get inside. And that's not a proof of the world lesson for us as well. So a great member	00:20:59
	of the team and and it's always pushing us to look at things differently. So talk a little bit about I guess from my side, we	00:21:05
	currently run five trucks.	00:21:11
	9 trailers and four containers, right?	00:21:18
	So we're just constantly looking at ways to make things more efficient with the bringing on the the new container for the	00:21:21
	chemicals it opens up that garage for us to be able to.	00:21:27
	Do our maintenance to the trailers and to the trucks.	00:21:34
	And you know, of course we're saving costs by doing that way. We're not doing major stuff and like we just had a truck breakdown	00:21:39
	this week that we had to have put in the shop. The simple stuff, light bulb goes out, you know, the trailer tire needs a plug in	00:21:45
	it, then we take care of that stuff. And since I've been there, I mean.	00:21:51
	That has improved pretty significantly. You know the less we have, a lot less flats because we're running you know a commercial	00:21:58
	grade ceiling and the trailer tires, so you know we can pull 3 or 4 nails out and not even have a flat.	00:22:05
	So that saves us 25 bucks a pump.	00:22:12
	From that so again having the.	00:22:16
	The container and opening up.	00:22:20
	Garage for us to workout of is going to be pretty significant across.	00:22:23
	Continuing to be efficient, safe money and truck was 12 that we get told last week that.	00:22:27
	That we had the only reason I'm bringing that up.	00:22:34
	If we have agreed as part of the edit funding settlement to.	00:22:36
	Not asked Edit to fund a new truck this year. It's not because we don't need it.	00:22:41
	Think it's the right decision to put this on the back order? No problem with that. But just you know that trucks in 2012.	00:22:47
	It's not the oldest truck you've got.	00:22:59
	It's got 90,000 miles on it.	00:23:01
	The highest mileage truck we have as 100.	00:23:04
	302,000 which is truck.	00:23:07
	Truck 12112 right? Yeah so everything else is hovered in between other than the the the 24 Chevy.	00:23:11
	You have 8000 miles of that already.	00:23:22
	So here we update two other former Kentucky truck plant employees who are saving this money out of pocket, what they're able to do	00:23:25
	because of their expertise and we go off of my Chevy truck.	00:23:31
	Is because it's more ergonomically easier on the older people to get in and out of that truck.	00:23:39
	Thank you. Thanks.	00:23:50
	Let me talk a little bit about our.	00:23:56
	Grants which.	00:23:58
	Well, the dashboard, the February traffic count, we had nearly 4200 vehicles.	00:24:02
	And 100, almost 111,000 lbs.	00:24:08
	Our item grants all sound sealed and delivered at this point in time. So just a reminder, we'll call it grant number one that we	00:24:12
	call the, it's the recycling recycled market development program. That's what will give us the additional trailers and the	00:24:19
	marketing and education program.	00:24:25
	For community purposes, really focused on these 13 neighborhoods that with John and Nick's help in county planning.	00:24:33
	We identified nearly a year ago when we submitted the grant application that we would try to bring recycling to those underserved	00:24:42
	areas of the county, so with Lars help.	00:24:48
	And with the help of a professor at IUS and a student at IUS, a marketing student, we're already putting plans together. We've	00:24:55
	already knocked on some doors in some of these neighborhoods.	00:25:02
	And our key focus over the next two to three weeks will be to really isolate exactly those neighborhoods and the timetable we're	00:25:09
	going to be going into them and how we're going to best serve them.	00:25:15
	So we're really excited about that. The second item grant, the community Recycling Grant program essentially funds the Baylor.	00:25:22
	And funds the some out of pocket education materials that Laura will be able to use as she continues to expand her in school	00:25:33
	education effort.	00:25:38
	That leads us to recommendations for equipment purchases. Today, we looked at three different balers.	00:25:46
	And while the grant is for 23,000 for a failure.	00:25:54
	We're recommending the $24,000 failure.	00:26:00
	Short of not the $29,000 failure, but one that not only comes with full.	00:26:06
	Installation and labor included, but also ongoing maintenance.	00:26:14
	That being from the Allstate Equipment Company for 24,650 and I think we could make up the difference on that.	00:26:20
	Jason, do you want to take these like one at a time because of basically 2 trailers?	00:26:31
	Or 1 trailer.	00:26:37
	Two bins that we're talking about in addition to the Baylor.	00:26:39
	Like the board's approval.	00:26:44
	Or purchase. Rick, do you have any thoughts on that? I take them one at a time. OK. OK.	00:26:46
	So our recommendation would be the Allstate equipment.	00:26:54
	Baylor.	00:26:58
	At 24650, of which again 50% of the purchase cost will come from.	00:27:00
	Motion to approve second.	00:27:09
	Got a motion in a second? Any further discussion?	00:27:11
	OK, sorry.	00:27:20
	OK, all in favor signify by saying aye, aye, opposed.	00:27:22
	We go down to the trailers.	00:27:27
	The we have had.	00:27:29
	Basically just a single trailer for most of my tenure we did back in September, you'll recall by a smaller trailer and a smaller	00:27:32
	bin to go on that trailer from Big Tex. At this time, it was our interest in buying a.	00:27:41
	Another trailer, because the one that we have originally protein is the brand name.	00:27:52
	Is, is.	00:28:00
	Not in as bad as shape as Truck 112.	00:28:02
	But in fact, that needs to be replaced in a day-to-day operational way and then we're asking for a bin to go on that, which will	00:28:05
	enable us to be more efficient in our collections.	00:28:12
	And that essentially is.	00:28:21
	Listed.	00:28:24
	Under second from the bottom you'll see the PROR.	00:28:30
	16 TR.	00:28:35
	It's The trailer itself is at 27995.	00:28:37
	Again, I then pays for 50% of that.	00:28:42
	In addition to that, we have a open bin at 58180 dollars.	00:28:46
	That would go with that.	00:28:53
	And we had at.	00:28:56
	At the end of.	00:29:00
	Oh, let's see.	00:29:02
	The grant was turned in in June and then they came back. I didn't came back to us and said hey, you really can't fund $5000 in	00:29:04
	stipends for the IUS students because they don't cover personnel cost and they asked me to throw in.	00:29:12
	Another five or $6000 to replace that in order to beat the threshold of the $100,000.	00:29:22
	Grant minimum.	00:29:29
	And so I threw in another bit. So what we're talking about here is a a bin for.	00:29:31
	Two bins at the bottom of the page. There are 58180 apiece that go with the trailer. That's 27995.	00:29:39
	And again, that's complementing.	00:29:49
	The model that we currently have.	00:29:52
	And we found nothing at any price that would be preferable to that. So recommendation would be for that trailer and the two.	00:29:55
	Protainer bins.	00:30:06
	5880 apiece.	00:30:09
	For your approval.	00:30:12
	I'll make a motion for the first one, The trailer, I believe it is.	00:30:15
	For the Pro R16.	00:30:21
	TR for 27995.	00:30:25
	Second OK, I got a motion by Brad and second by John.	00:30:28
	Any further discussion?	00:30:32
	Super 5 by saying aye aye opposed.	00:30:36
	Motion carries.	00:30:40
	Third thing is a.	00:30:42
	I hope I'm saying this right because we also requested a protainer. So for those of you who have visited our sites, you're quite	00:30:45
	used to seeing the green trailers with the slots on the side. We had envisioned that.	00:30:52
	Yeah, back in the springtime of 2023.	00:31:00
	But as we have thought, more as a team.	00:31:04
	About how do we most effectively execute serving these neighborhoods. We've come up with a thought that instead of just having a	00:31:07
	another protein or.	00:31:13
	Typable.	00:31:19
	Trailer.	00:31:21
	And it would be.	00:31:26
	And again those trailers?	00:31:30
	Or like this?	00:31:35
	Instead of this.	00:31:37
	We would like something more basic.	00:31:39
	Like this? Well, we can put totes on them.	00:31:42
	Facility easier to go to the neighborhoods is facilitates separation of materials.	00:31:45
	As we look to maximize revenue from from that the only.	00:31:51
	Item.	00:31:57
	That makes that a little bit complicated. Is that with the grant agreement from item?	00:32:00
	Any changes to it, they need to approve, so I submitted last Wednesday a request for a trade off.	00:32:06
	Of the 1 trailer.	00:32:14
	And 20,270.	00:32:16
	For two $8000.	00:32:19
	Trailers.	00:32:22
	With the totes and some additional materials that basically comes within $750 of that original trailer that I requested.	00:32:24
	I was hoping that they would come back and say.	00:32:36
	Don't need to modify the agreement.	00:32:38
	But they haven't come back and said anything yet, so.	00:32:42
	I'm highly confident that they will.	00:32:46
	Because they want us to do the right thing, we want to support us in a way that we feel we will be most efficient and carrying out	00:32:49
	that the objectives of the grant application so.	00:32:55
	What with the idea that they will say yes to the two utility trailers?	00:33:02
	Recommendation is that we move forward with board approval.	00:33:08
	Again, pending item confirmation.	00:33:14
	The purchase of these two big techs utility trailers as noted in the.	00:33:18
	Fourth line of the equipment.	00:33:25
	Itemization, Scott. I'll give you come back to that in just a second because I'm going to make another motion for.	00:33:27
	The Pro Pro R1420.	00:33:35
	Those there's two of those, plus the shipping and handling at 58885 thousand 880 a piece.	00:33:41
	Yes, the bends. I didn't get around to those.	00:33:48
	With the original motion, so I'm going to make a motion for that. It's the very bottom one.	00:33:53
	Second Got a motion by Brian, a second by Mr. Dickey.	00:33:58
	Aye opposed.	00:34:07
	Now I'll make a motion for. I'm sorry, go ahead. I'm sorry.	00:34:10
	Motion for the.	00:34:14
	The pro trailer, Pro Tilt that.	00:34:16
	You have advertised here the big Tex 14PI-20.	00:34:21
	BK utility trailers, both of them as you have advertised here, both for $8000 with the contingency that I den approves the.	00:34:27
	Change order? Well, set.	00:34:38
	Got a motion by Brad. I'll second, second by John.	00:34:41
	Any further discussion?	00:34:47
	All I think favor signify by saying Aye, aye.	00:34:49
	Opposed social characters. Thank you all.	00:34:53
	Want to talk just very briefly about the edit modifications that we've referenced.	00:34:58
	That's what we went back and forth and seeking to resolve this issue first brought up at our January meeting with Jason and John's	00:35:03
	input for spread involved prior to that point essentially got that to the agreement with the commissioners that we would.	00:35:12
	Freeze the $50,000 capital request for a truck for 2024 #1 #2 agreed that that there would be 25,000 in other spending frozen as	00:35:22
	well.	00:35:28
	That would.	00:35:35
	Basically reduce the contribution from added from the amount requested less 75,000.	00:35:37
	In the meantime, County has.	00:35:45
	Given us the initial draw of 335,000.	00:35:50
	And then we look forward to in July to receive another 65.	00:35:57
	From edit and another 17478 from the CCD fund also on the approximate time of July.	00:36:03
	Everybody, I think is in agreement. We're happy with it. We'll live with it. The only thing that we will do is that we will.	00:36:14
	From our operational standpoint.	00:36:21
	We will have.	00:36:24
	A certain amount of money unappropriated and so we will isolate at least 25,000.	00:36:27
	Of unappropriated dollars come back to you, seek that appropriation that then we'll have to go before the County Council as well	00:36:33
	in order to make up for the 25,000.	00:36:38
	That we are freezing up front.	00:36:44
	If that makes sense.	00:36:48
	It does.	00:36:51
	Is that a confident look?	00:36:53
	No, you just had me going to the County Council for approval.	00:36:55
	Good luck.	00:37:00
	That's all right. That's.	00:37:02
	Think I'm on vacation that day.	00:37:03
	Feel right to everybody.	00:37:08
	And again, thank you for your patience, Jason and John, Brad for helping work through this. Thanks for helping us work through it	00:37:10
	as well. And to be absolutely clear about it, I have no intention for any capital dollars in 2024.	00:37:17
	Because we're not that far away from the initial draft of the 2020.	00:37:25
	2025 budget.	00:37:30
	And so we would anticipate no capital request.	00:37:32
	Assuming that we have some success in competing with the legacy foundation on a truck request.	00:37:38
	And then of course you know.	00:37:44
	Be asking for no money for matching grants because we'll be completely focused on the full execution of the two grants we have in	00:37:48
	2024 that actually lasts for 18 months.	00:37:53
	So we don't have time to.	00:38:00
	You know, buy anything else?	00:38:03
	Let me talk a little bit about.	00:38:08
	Our cost savings initiative and I think this has been a fun exercise actually, but.	00:38:10
	Essentially, as most of you know.	00:38:18
	Our team currently makes 500 trips a year.	00:38:20
	To Fern Valley Rd. just east of the Ford Louisville Assembly Plant.	00:38:24
	And primarily taking?	00:38:30
	Corrugated boxes and that.	00:38:33
	Has the greatest value, currently at $6065 a ton for loose, corrugated but.	00:38:40
	30% thirty 2% premium with a bail arrangement. But that's a long way to go.	00:38:48
	And and so we went through the calc.	00:38:57
	The couch of you know, to 38 minutes, 27 mile drive.	00:38:59
	To Industrial Blvd.	00:39:05
	We looked at the web key as an alternative.	00:39:08
	That's twenty mile, 20 minutes, 12 miles just on West Oak St.	00:39:11
	So if you take the 9th St. exit.	00:39:19
	And just keep going straight. You're 10 to 12 minutes from.	00:39:22
	Facility.	00:39:26
	We really thought about wear and tear on our vehicles. We thought about.	00:39:29
	Of the time because usually we have two.	00:39:33
	Employees in the truck making that run and that's just downtime that we cannot afford.	00:39:37
	What we're trying to do a lot of things without asking for more money for more people. So that really was our key incentive to	00:39:44
	really examine are there cost saving opportunities. So we looked at it from a personnel standpoint, the fuel consumption	00:39:49
	standpoint.	00:39:54
	We think that we can save in excess of 6200 a year.	00:39:59
	Just a fuel costs.	00:40:03
	By making some changes the productivity I mentioned and then the revenue.	00:40:06
	One of the big considerations though.	00:40:14
	Is that as we've talked to?	00:40:16
	Even though they offered some benefits.	00:40:18
	As far as lesser distance, they don't service Galena.	00:40:22
	And we have 11 bids that we call single string bins. At the annex we have 10.	00:40:27
	At the Galena site and then he's Galena's service once a week.	00:40:33
	And grant line of service twice a week.	00:40:39
	We simply can't have a.	00:40:42
	Productive relationship with the firm that doesn't go to Galena.	00:40:45
	And so that that became disqualified for erupting.	00:40:48
	So what do W rock our current provider?	00:40:52
	And said.	00:40:56
	We're happy with your service.	00:40:59
	Very efficient. They are open 24/7.	00:41:01
	Dave Massiguel particular has talked about that their new checking system thinks about as efficient as it can be from a mechanical	00:41:04
	standpoint. Marquee has more condensed hours and and not as sophisticated.	00:41:11
	A check in checkout system.	00:41:19
	But I asked West Rocks help in solving the problems.	00:41:22
	Laura Bellman, our contact.	00:41:29
	Had what proved to be an excellent idea.	00:41:31
	As we look forward to the implementation of our bailed era.	00:41:34
	Then I would say what she offered would be that W Rock would dispatch, at our request, a box truck.	00:41:41
	Within 24 hours of said request.	00:41:50
	And that box truck would cost us $150.00.	00:41:52
	But it would take up to 14 males.	00:41:56
	Of which, again at $95 a ton.	00:42:00
	Can put us north of between 5:00 and $600.00 net revenue on the transaction. Yes, we pay them 150 to come get it.	00:42:05
	But because we're paying them 1:50 to come get it.	00:42:15
	Not sending Dave and Jessica and Ron and Mike over to Fern Valley Rd. That's a big deal.	00:42:18
	Because we can reallocate those hours in terms of serving the neighborhoods that we've identified in the first item grant. So the	00:42:27
	recommendation don't really need your formal approval on. We want you to understand that we've gone through a pretty much a three	00:42:35
	to four month process of weighing the pros and cons. I feel really, really good about staying.	00:42:43
	The course, But then turning some of the transportation burden onto our vendor, West Dr. freeing up our people a little bit more.	00:42:52
	And reducing the learning term or equipment more?	00:43:04
	Not to say fuel savings to boot.	00:43:08
	On top of that.	00:43:12
	John brought it up initially. We've now again Dave Watsons initiative to go to Jacobi and have them place a 500 gallon tank at the	00:43:17
	annex.	00:43:22
	Because our folks and you can read it at your convenience.	00:43:29
	Where we've done the calculations on.	00:43:33
	But just the highlight.	00:43:35
	We would make at least 23 trips a month to the county garage on average.	00:43:38
	That's 418 miles a month. Assuming an average of 10 miles per gallon, it's 42 gallons of fuel saved generating.	00:43:43
	$109 a month savings.	00:43:52
	And then at the county garage being the 28th round trip from the annex.	00:43:55
	And again, two people.	00:44:00
	Perhaps in the vehicle?	00:44:02
	We come down to the point that we feel that there's a material savings of having.	00:44:04
	Fuel at the same rate as the county pace of the garage.	00:44:10
	There at the Annex so.	00:44:14
	Attaboy to Dave for stepping forward on that because you have as a board, you have complete confidence that we're looking at every	00:44:18
	possibility to reduce spending.	00:44:23
	Be it wear and tear maintenance, you know you have skilled folks like the masculine.	00:44:29
	We'll turn you know, the old HHW shed to a little bit of a garage for some grease monkey activity.	00:44:36
	And we're delighted at that. And that's money that we're not spending at any other vendor throughout the city. I think that can be	00:44:45
	completely avoided. But I'm really pleased that we have good momentum, good sensitivity to what those costs are and how we can	00:44:51
	continue to reduce that.	00:44:57
	Final point of the day is relative to partnership initiatives. All of you've heard Agnosium discussions ongoing for many, many,	00:45:06
	many, many months with Baptist Floyd.	00:45:12
	And I'm happy to report.	00:45:18
	That after my most recent sit down with the.	00:45:20
	Environmental services at the hospital at noon today.	00:45:25
	That they are delighted that we've completed our expansion.	00:45:29
	Delighted that we have a bin that we can place at the hospital. Delighted that we're in a position to take their corrugated not	00:45:34
	only.	00:45:39
	Generating the normal course of hospital operations, but they have major construction ongoing and we'll have for many, many months	00:45:45
	to come. And so my next step is to complete a draft partnership agreement.	00:45:53
	That.	00:46:03
	We'd like to make sure that those of us in the trenches, Lamont read at Environmental Services and and our team agrees to	00:46:05
	completely in terms of how does this work.	00:46:10
	But I think you'll be helpful to the hospital to allow other people to focus more on their primary responsibilities would be	00:46:16
	helpful to us in terms of engineering and volume for which we can generate revenue. But what I would like is that the Boards of	00:46:22
	Motion, if you will.	00:46:28
	To appoint the President and the Vice President of the authority to sign such a.	00:46:36
	Partnership agreement between now and the time that we beat the next time as a board in May.	00:46:42
	And I would estimate that there would be around April 15th.	00:46:48
	If we can pull that off.	00:46:52
	Request such a.	00:46:56
	I'll make that motion, but also to subject to Rick's review.	00:46:57
	Subject to your review, Rick, to make sure that we're not kosher elective motion that we do that but pending.	00:47:01
	Rich review to allow Brad and Jason to sign outside the meeting. Actually, I'll get the draft to Rick before you all see it then.	00:47:11
	Yep, second.	00:47:20
	John second, I have.	00:47:24
	Any further discussion?	00:47:26
	Adam, Adam. Yeah.	00:47:30
	Yeah, I don't care.	00:47:34
	All in favor signify by saying aye any opposed?	00:47:39
	Those carries.	00:47:43
	Final point and great team, got momentum, lots of moving parts.	00:47:44
	Nothing's going to be easy.	00:47:50
	Especially with the execution of the grants, but as we talked about in our team meeting this morning, given this is our management	00:47:53
	team.	00:47:57
	And we could choose to do nothing.	00:48:02
	And just be opening up the gates, collecting the recycling and lock the gates and then do it again tomorrow. We don't choose to do	00:48:05
	that. And you know, we're confident enough that, you know, we have enough brain power.	00:48:11
	In this world, you've included to figure out any barrier that we need to.	00:48:17
	Figure out as we move forward to reach that point of 50% recycling household wastes.	00:48:24
	In county household by 23rd. So again thank you for your support and thank you 3 for all you do in particular.	00:48:32
	I have a quick question on the backtrack little bit on this W rock.	00:48:40
	Do you have a formal agreement you're going to be signing with them on the pickup?	00:48:45
	I she didn't say there needed to be one. We currently don't have one, I don't believe, even though they come.	00:48:49
	To three to the two locations 3 * a week to pick up. I just think for insurance workman's comp, it needs to be spelled out. Who's	00:48:57
	going to be loading material onto what piece of equipment. We don't want their folks using our equipment, they don't want us using	00:49:02
	theirs in case something gets banged up. So I would just.	00:49:08
	Ideally they would load it and that gives you even more freedom with your staff, but.	00:49:15
	But now that we have the.	00:49:21
	New used forklift.	00:49:24
	My guess is that the forklift will be employed and loading the box truck.	00:49:26
	I doubt if the box chart would have one with it. Probably not. I think just needs to be spelled out in case the new used forklift	00:49:31
	bands up the happy to accommodate.	00:49:35
	Thank you, Sir. Thank you.	00:49:43
	All right, Any public input today?	00:49:45
	No. All right. So the next meeting is going to be May 21st at 4:20.	00:49:50
	Look for a motion to adjourn. Motion to adjourn.	00:49:56
	Second motion by John. Second by All in favor, signify the city. Aye. Aye. All right.	00:49:58
	Have a great day. Thank you all for what you what you're doing. Got a great team going and.	00:50:06
	I love the energy and the thoughts.	00:50:11
	It's been nice.	00:50:17
	March my teeth. Go ahead and call this meeting with Floyd County Solid Waste Management District Board of Directors so you would	00:50:20
	rise for the pledge for it.	00:50:24
	Pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God,	00:50:29
	indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.	00:50:35
	Happy 1st day of Spring where it's a little cool and windy outside the summertime in the Assembly Room here at Pineview.	00:50:45
	Always.	00:50:53
	All right. So let's go ahead get started.	00:50:55
	Do we do a roll caller here typically or you usually just?	00:50:59
	OK. Do you want to call the world in?	00:51:04
	What works for me OK.	00:51:09
	All right, well, looks like the only person.	00:51:14
	Missing today. Is Mr. Gang here, Mayor Graham?	00:51:17
	Approval of the January 16 Minutes.	00:51:23
	Motion to Approve.	00:51:27
	We have motion approved. Can I get a second?	00:51:29
	I was. I'll second that. So I got a motion in a second.	00:51:33
	Any discussion?	00:51:39
	All in favor signify by saying aye, aye any opposed?	00:51:41
	Motion carries.	00:51:45
	Approval the February provisional claims.	00:51:48
	I'll 2nd that I got a motion in a second. Any further discussion I just. I just have a clarification. Scotland, I know the answer.	00:51:55
	In February and in early March we purchased fuel from the road department, but then later on March is when we had our own tank	00:52:03
	install.	00:52:09
	Out there at early March. So that's why there's two.	00:52:15
	From the Floyd County Road Department, then Jacobi later on, OK.	00:52:20
	That's what I was thinking. Thank you. I'm good.	00:52:25
	All right, so I got a motion in a second.	00:52:30
	Any further discussion?	00:52:34
	OK, all in favor signify by saying aye, aye, Anthony opposed.	00:52:36
	Look first.	00:52:40
	Approval Resolution 202401 Amendment Exhibit A.	00:52:43
	Looking for approval of the March 2nd, any further discussion? Second, John?	00:52:49
	All right, all for every signify by saying aye, opposed.	00:53:01
	Motion carries.	00:53:06
	Approval of the Resolution 202401 Amendment Exhibit A.	00:53:08
	To get this clarification on that and given the off month that the President and Vice President of course authorized to claim.	00:53:13
	Pending formal approval to follow the month that allows us to be highly.	00:53:24
	Mr. Fox, have you looked at this? Is everything good for the resolution side?	00:53:33
	I don't see that I have it here.	00:53:41
	You probably would not be that.	00:53:44
	Yeah. This John brought up at the last meeting that maybe there's a way that we could reduce the amount of paperwork. So what we	00:53:48
	purposely didn't leave out all the financials about that are somewhat.	00:53:56
	Majority department for 31 pages in this case left out the.	00:54:04
	State of resolution that we've been using since the implementation of these.	00:54:10
	Provision.	00:54:15
	OK, so I'm going to make a motion that we approve the resolution.	00:54:17
	2024-01 with the and allow the president to sign outside the meeting with the contingency that the attorney reviews in in is is	00:54:22
	approved is OK with it. Again, the resolution has to change. It's just that we need the board approval where we add names to the	00:54:30
	defender list and if somebody's not on that list then you're not so empowered. These would be the original resolutions to provide	00:54:37
	the provisional approval so.	00:54:45
	No change at all, ever to the original resolution that enables the president and vice president. All we did was add a couple	00:54:53
	vendors to the list of the right. OK, that's fine. All right. Then I I will withdraw the original motion and make a motion to	00:54:58
	approve the resolution as advertised.	00:55:04
	I'll second. OK. I got a motion in a second. Any further discussion?	00:55:10
	All in favor signify by saying aye any opposed?	00:55:16
	Carries.	00:55:20
	Director's report.	00:55:22
	Say we have a substantive agenda today. That doesn't necessarily mean that we will run time at all, but pleased with what we have	00:55:24
	to talk about today.	00:55:30
	You can always start with Marketing and communications and you'll see in recovery records reporting metricsfor.com.	00:55:36
	But then the full points around the school education initiative that you're aware of and a couple other things going on. So I'd	00:55:47
	like my colleague Laura Riggle to come up and provide a little bit of an update on her initiative to get recycling education to	00:55:54
	the 4th grade classrooms in the county, Florida.	00:56:00
	Thank you for hearing me speak and good afternoon.	00:56:08
	I'm a retired educator from Greater Park and it's been my privilege to have this opportunity to reach out to 4th graders and try	00:56:13
	to inspire them to become ambassadors of recycling. I want to, really.	00:56:21
	Point to.	00:56:31
	Mr. Tony Duffy He has been very instrumental in getting the word out to New Albany Floyd County Schools.	00:56:32
	Elementary education, yes. And he he wanted the whole package. He wanted to see it and I wrote the curriculum and he has just been	00:56:42
	ecstatic about getting it started. We have a teacher, Mr. Scott Birch, who has been instrumental in recycling for a few years now.	00:56:53
	And it's just a tremendous partner for recycling. Dave and Davo have worked with Scott, and other teachers at Mount Tabor have	00:57:04
	joined forces with this, as well as Miss Hannah Striegel at Christian Academy. She's welcomed me into her class and I've begun	00:57:14
	teaching there. We also have Grant Line Elementary and Slave Run coming up in April, so I'll be starting classes with them.	00:57:23
	And this fall of Saint Mary's of the Knobs, They would have started earlier, but due to a few conflicts back in January, I was	00:57:34
	unable to get there. But they're starting in the fall and so is S Ellen and Jones, so I'm very happy to be of service to these.	00:57:42
	Children and their teachers. It's been a positive experience so far. Lots of good questions, lots of questions. I've had to go and	00:57:51
	Google, so I'm I'm looking forward to continuing that with them.	00:57:58
	As of today, there's been 29 I.	00:58:06
	Lessons taught OK since it started in February.	00:58:11
	And I think that's kind of rounds it out again. We want them to help us.	00:58:15
	Increase recycling in the county 50%, you know by 20-30, so I'm hoping that we can continue that.	00:58:22
	Laura, is this a one time visit or do you go back additional times or what?	00:58:32
	Mount Tabor I know Scott had already begun recycling with his kids, so I think there were like 3 lessons I did with them.	00:58:38
	And the other three teachers that teach 4th grade.	00:58:47
	I did 8 lessons with them well, and I may go back for some experiments with them. OK, so about how many 4th graders you think	00:58:51
	you're reaching? I don't know how many there are in Floyd County and how many you have.	00:58:57
	Reached at this point 1200, if I go to all the schools.	00:59:04
	And in the paper that you have regarding the education initiative?	00:59:10
	They they have been notified of it, but some of them did not get that information maybe from their principal just yet.	00:59:16
	And plus, we have to remember their standardized testing going on. So I look for this fall.	00:59:24
	To be a greater push for this.	00:59:30
	Thank you for your time. Thank you, thank you all you're doing.	00:59:37
	Now maybe we can help the Holy Family a little bit. It's been tough to get in there and Our Lady of Perpetual Health Action,	00:59:42
	really. So we have a little momentum with Drop me a text with a reminder and I will see what I can do.	00:59:48
	Yeah, I should show up.	00:59:56
	Have Operations Manager Dave Watson with us today as well. Wanted Dave to talk about the completion.	01:00:00
	Of the building renovation and a few other points as well.	01:00:08
	You'll find interesting.	01:00:14
	Ladies and gentlemen, we are making progress, there's no doubt there.	01:00:19
	The construction is completed as far as the structure.	01:00:24
	We're in the process now of going to get some inside walls up.	01:00:30
	And do our finished work inside the.	01:00:34
	It's we are surprised that once we got to look at how big the room became.	01:00:38
	Looking from the shed to now our our new home, we're in the process. Now like I said, you want to get some materials we'll be	01:00:46
	moving out of the what would be the.	01:00:51
	Building for the.	01:00:58
	Baylor And so we have to get that cleaned out before we progress, so.	01:00:59
	We're there. We were able to get the Hazmat connex box.	01:01:05
	Moved from down.	01:01:11
	Waterfront still know about that, so you have in your packet.	01:01:14
	Pictures of.	01:01:19
	A raise on this?	01:01:22
	Specifically built through this and that has been sitting at the wastewater treatment plant.	01:01:26
	For years, Yeah, for years.	01:01:32
	I've been with.	01:01:37
	Almost six years myself.	01:01:38
	And we've never used it since. I've been with the.	01:01:40
	The firm, as we would love to call it so, but we were able to move it.	01:01:45
	And Davos and Jessica were working today, you know, working on our.	01:01:53
	Entrance way.	01:02:00
	It's It is designed for this specific purpose of storing hazardous waste.	01:02:02
	And materials.	01:02:08
	As that's its function and it's what it will be.	01:02:10
	We.	01:02:15
	Have just a few items left to.	01:02:16
	Finalize that, but it is.	01:02:19
	Near completion.	01:02:22
	So essentially you'll recall that we have the second whole part that we dedicated to long term employee, Dorothy Lee.	01:02:23
	Back, which she left in the summertime.	01:02:31
	And that will.	01:02:34
	Will be now reassigned in its primary task. I'll ask Dave Nashville to talk about that in a second.	01:02:37
	But essentially.	01:02:45
	The.	01:02:48
	Yesterday by Pageant.	01:02:50
	In fact, will be the center of our HHW activities and feel really good about that. And I'm going to say thank you to Adam Dickey	01:02:54
	for making the contact. Thanks to Mike Wallace of the city's wastewater utility for his cooperation as well to allow Pegasus to	01:03:00
	come in and cherry picture the container.	01:03:06
	Didn't even have to take down the fence, Lifted it over the fence and put it on the flatbed and.	01:03:13
	Brought it out to.	01:03:19
	The Adams, So we're delighted with that that.	01:03:21
	Yeah, that was like a thoughtful move to capture that to give us as much capability in terms of efficiently and effectively	01:03:24
	matching HHW.	01:03:29
	All right, I'm going to ask this question real quick.	01:03:36
	The hydrant was obviously there first.	01:03:41
	But do we place this there with the idea that it would also be close to the hydrant, the fire hydrant?	01:03:44
	Or was that?	01:03:50
	The space was the preferable space. The hybrid is not operational.	01:03:54
	Oh, you see that tag? Well, yeah, I did see that. I did see that, yes.	01:03:59
	It's because I actually had, I kind of had the same question. I noticed that the hybrid was out of services. Has it been out of	01:04:05
	service for a long time out there?	01:04:09
	OK, yeah, there was, there was a water leak in along the roadway.	01:04:14
	And because it was a, whether they call it property or we own the, we own the hydrant. Though American Water was not involved with	01:04:22
	it, it was up to us to make through any repairs and put it back in service and that's never been done.	01:04:30
	As a result. That's why we have 1/4.	01:04:41
	Adam, I do want to say that they get a lot of pets, so this is pet friendly.	01:04:48
	If the dogs want to use that the morning, welcome to well, sure, I I guess as a side note.	01:04:52
	That's terrible. I don't know what the repairs would be to the line or the hydrant, but.	01:05:01
	Don't. Don't we want that? Yeah, I would think that would probably be worth looking at, quite honestly. It really depends on where	01:05:09
	the closest hydrant is.	01:05:13
	To that as well.	01:05:18
	I I I mean, I'm, I'm I'm thinking. I'm thinking my my fireman would would very much appreciate me.	01:05:22
	Raising that concern if something actually occurred there.	01:05:30
	This aside, I mean honestly, you know we've talked about it is really the context of the bathroom facilities and just have never	01:05:35
	found it that fiscally doable to.	01:05:42
	Make that happen. Honestly and all kidding aside.	01:05:49
	Certainly will paint it.	01:05:54
	And make it attractive icon of some kind. But you know, no plans to move it at this point in time.	01:05:56
	Well, I I mean, my first thought was that was.	01:06:07
	Pretty convenient placement, but I didn't think about it having the tag on it either.	01:06:10
	So if they talk a little bit about the partnership with the folks next door that have helped make that grating possible, we've	01:06:15
	had.	01:06:19
	Real good neighbor in the National Guard Armory.	01:06:25
	Throughout some contacts, we talked with them.	01:06:31
	They've come over with their bobcat and have done some work for us.	01:06:34
	Doing some grading, doing some digging.	01:06:39
	They have just and.	01:06:42
	It's always been a real pleasure to work with them.	01:06:44
	They they like having things, things to do. And if they're not busy, they.	01:06:48
	Jump on and they come right on over.	01:06:54
	So it has really been a pleasure working with them.	01:06:56
	I did spring for some pizzas up there now and.	01:07:02
	You know, to help the guys out, they probably like that.	01:07:05
	But now they have, they really have helped a lot and and they're always there and they they said anytime.	01:07:13
	If we're not busy, we'll be glad to help out. And so they've been really good neighbors.	01:07:21
	Then we'll start the HHW collection from the springtime on April 13th. And that's something that Lara and another one of our	01:07:26
	employees, Raven Thomas manages generally on The Saturdays from 9:00 to 1:00 with everybody pitching in as needed. So we're	01:07:36
	reporting that Dave help getting the entire place speaking stands where there's no current inventory.	01:07:45
	Includes some complicated.	01:07:56
	Unknown chemicals that have been leftover.	01:07:58
	Tested and then transported off site within the next week.	01:08:04
	Scott, you you help me with this.	01:08:10
	When you were talking, I have an idea or just a thought about our pricing. Is our pricing in good shape when it comes to the	01:08:15
	collection of?	01:08:19
	The $4.00 a gallon for paint.	01:08:26
	The couple bucks for cans of pesticides or what have you.	01:08:34
	More often than not, do the pushback from one of the cities who don't like paying.	01:08:41
	So clearly the county is subsidizing.	01:08:47
	This activity.	01:08:52
	And my judgment, we're at the right price point now.	01:08:53
	Not to disadvantage ourselves.	01:08:57
	Disincentivizing.	01:09:01
	Today you had somebody and we had.	01:09:06
	We have several people that are longtime patrons and we've had a lady came through the other day and she.	01:09:11
	Wanted us to know.	01:09:19
	That the work we are doing at the site has made a big difference as far as the looks, she said she was. She was impressed.	01:09:21
	At how we were getting things cleaned up and looking professional.	01:09:31
	And so of course, we thanked her for that, but she she was adamant about San Diego. You go home, really put some effort in out	01:09:36
	here. And so it sometimes it shows.	01:09:41
	Sometimes you don't think it does, but it does. So we've made some good efforts and we've got more to do.	01:09:47
	When he also.	01:09:54
	Were the yeah, the cardboard. It had a grassy area there.	01:09:56
	You know, we had your dumpsters and then you got rid of grass. You put gravel down. That's right. Yeah.	01:10:02
	Yeah, we are. Once once we get finished with our grading.	01:10:08
	We're going to try a different alignment on the trailer parking.	01:10:12
	And we're kind of experimenting to see what works best, right? But we are.	01:10:15
	We're looking to be more efficient.	01:10:21
	That's what the way we're doing.	01:10:25
	Let me ask the question.	01:10:28
	TV's and stuff, you store those outside, is that right?	01:10:31
	But flat screen is going to.	01:10:36
	OK.	01:10:40
	Good. Thank you.	01:10:43
	To talk a little bit about the new life and vision for the old HHW building.	01:10:46
	And and again, remind you Dave, how long have you been with us now almost 2, two years in September. That's amazing. So a year and	01:10:54
	a half retired from the Kentucky truck.	01:10:59
	We look at him as our efficiency expert.	01:11:07
	You know, 6 Sigma, you know he's the guy who.	01:11:10
	Talks about when he's at home at night, he gets up from his chair to build a kitchen. He tries to think, what can I do between	01:11:15
	here and there to be more efficient and I'll get inside. And that's the proof of the world lesson for us as well. So he's a great	01:11:21
	member of the team and and it's always pushing us to look at things differently. So talk a little bit about, I guess from my side,	01:11:28
	we currently run five trucks, 9 trailers and four containers, right?	01:11:35
	So we're just constantly looking at ways to make things more efficient with the bringing on the the new container for the	01:11:42
	chemicals it opens up that garage for us to be able to.	01:11:48
	Do our maintenance to the trailers and to the trucks.	01:11:55
	And you know, of course we're saving costs by doing that way is we're not doing major stuff and like we just had a truck breakdown	01:12:00
	this week that we had to have put in the shop. The simple stuff, light bulb goes out, you know a trailer tire needs a plug in,	01:12:06
	then we take care of that stuff. And since I've been there, I mean.	01:12:12
	That has improved pretty significantly. You know, the less we have, a lot less flats because we're running you know, a commercial	01:12:19
	grade ceiling and the trailer tires.	01:12:24
	So you know we can pull 3 or 4 nails out and not even have a flat.	01:12:29
	So that saves us 25 bucks a pawn from that. So again having the.	01:12:33
	The container and opening up that.	01:12:41
	Garage for us to workout up, it's going to be pretty significant across.	01:12:44
	Continuing to be efficient, save money.	01:12:48
	And truck was 12 that we get told last week that.	01:12:51
	We had no liberation. I'm bringing that up.	01:12:55
	We have agreed as part of the edit funding settlement to.	01:12:58
	Not asked Edit to fund a new truck this year. It's not because we don't need it.	01:13:02
	Think it's the right decision to put this on the back order? No problem with that. But just you know that trucks in 2012.	01:13:08
	It's not the oldest truck you've got.	01:13:19
	It's got 90,000 miles on it.	01:13:22
	Highest mileage truck we have is 100.	01:13:25
	102,000.	01:13:28
	Which is truck.	01:13:30
	Truck 12112 is 1 down. Yeah so everything else is hovering in between other than the the the 24 Chevy.	01:13:32
	If you have 30,000 miles of that already.	01:13:42
	So here we update two other former Kentucky truck plant employees who are saving us money out of pocket, what they're able to do	01:13:46
	because of their expertise and we go off of my Chevy truck.	01:13:52
	Is because it's more ergonomically easier on the older people to get in and out of that truck.	01:14:00
	Thank you. Thanks.	01:14:11
	Let me talk a little bit about our.	01:14:17
	Grants which.	01:14:19
	Well, the dashboard, the February traffic count, we had nearly 4200 vehicles.	01:14:23
	And 100, almost 111,000 lbs.	01:14:29
	Our item grants all signed, sealed, and delivered at this point in time. So just a reminder.	01:14:33
	We'll call it grant number one that we call them. It's the recycling recycled market development program. That's what will give us	01:14:39
	the additional trailers.	01:14:45
	And the marketing and education program.	01:14:51
	For community purposes, fully focused on these 13 neighborhoods that with John and Nick's help in county planning.	01:14:55
	We identified nearly a year ago when we submitted the grant application that we would try to bring recycling to those underserved	01:15:03
	areas of the county, so with Laura's help.	01:15:09
	And with the help of a professor at IUS.	01:15:16
	And a student at IUSA, Marketing student. We're already putting plans together. We've already knocked on some doors in some of	01:15:20
	these neighborhoods.	01:15:25
	And our key focus over the next two to three weeks will be to really isolate exactly those neighborhoods and the timetable we're	01:15:30
	going to be going into them and how we're going to best serve them.	01:15:36
	So we're really excited about that. The second item grant, the community Recycling Grant program essentially funds the Baylor.	01:15:43
	And funds the some out of pocket education materials that Laura will be able to use as she continues to expand her in school	01:15:54
	education efforts.	01:15:59
	That leads us to recommendations for equipment purchases. Today we looked at three different balers, and.	01:16:07
	While the grant is for 23,000 for a baler.	01:16:16
	We're recommending.	01:16:21
	The $24,000 payer.	01:16:24
	Short of not the $29,000 failure, but one that not only comes with full installation.	01:16:27
	And labor included but also ongoing maintenance that being from the Allstate Equipment Company for 24,650 and I think we can make	01:16:37
	up the difference on that.	01:16:43
	Jason, do you want to take these like one at a time because of basically 2 trailers?	01:16:52
	A1 Trailer.	01:16:58
	Two bins that we're talking about in addition to the Baylor.	01:17:00
	That would like the board's approval.	01:17:05
	Or purchase or if you have any thoughts on that, I take them one at a time, OK. OK.	01:17:07
	So our recommendation that would be the Allstate equipment.	01:17:15
	Baylor.	01:17:19
	At 24650, of which again 50% of the purchase cost will come from.	01:17:21
	Motion to approve second.	01:17:30
	Got a motion in a second? Any further discussion?	01:17:32
	OK, so.	01:17:41
	OK, all in favor signify by saying aye, aye, opposed.	01:17:43
	The we have had.	01:17:50
	Basically just a single trailer for most of my tenure we did back in September, you'll recall by a smaller trailer and a smaller	01:17:53
	bin to go on that trailer from Big Tex. At this time, it was our interest in buying a.	01:18:02
	Another trailer, because the one that we have originally protein is the brand name.	01:18:13
	Is, is.	01:18:21
	Not in as bad as shape as Truck 112.	01:18:23
	But in fact, that needs to be replaced in a day-to-day operational way and then we're asking for a bin.	01:18:26
	To go on that which will enable us to be more efficient in our collections.	01:18:33
	And that essentially is.	01:18:42
	Listed.	01:18:45
	Under second from the bottom you'll see the PRO R16 TR.	01:18:51
	It's The trailer itself is at 27995.	01:18:58
	Again, I then pays for 50% of that.	01:19:03
	In addition to that, we have a open bin at 58180 dollars.	01:19:07
	That would go with that.	01:19:14
	And we had at the.	01:19:17
	At the end.	01:19:21
	Let's see, the grant was turned in in June and then they came back. I didn't came back to us and said hey, you really can't fund	01:19:23
	$5000 in stipends for the IUS students because they don't cover personnel cost and they asked me to throw in.	01:19:33
	Another five or $6000 to replace that in order to beat the threshold of the $100,000.	01:19:43
	Grant Minimum. And so I threw in another bit. So what we're talking about here is a a bin for.	01:19:50
	Two bins at the bottom of the page. There are 58180 apiece that go with the trailer. That's 27995.	01:20:00
	And again, that's.	01:20:10
	Complementing the model that we currently have.	01:20:12
	And we found nothing at any price that would be preferable to that. So recommendation would be for that trailer and the.	01:20:16
	2 protainer.	01:20:27
	Bins 5880 apiece.	01:20:29
	For your approval.	01:20:34
	I'll make a motion for the first one, The trailer, I believe it is.	01:20:36
	For the Pro R-16.	01:20:42
	TR for 27995.	01:20:46
	Second OK, got a motion by Brad and second by John.	01:20:50
	Any further discussion?	01:20:53
	All suck signify by saying aye aye opposed.	01:20:56
	Motion carries.	01:21:01
	Third thing is a.	01:21:03
	I hope I'm saying this right because we also requested a protainer. So for those of you who have visited our sites, you're quite	01:21:07
	used to seeing the green trailers with the slots on the side. We had envisioned that.	01:21:13
	You know, back in the springtime of 2023.	01:21:21
	But as we have thought, more as a team.	01:21:25
	About how do we most effectively execute serving these neighborhoods. We've come up with a thought that instead of just having a	01:21:28
	another protein or.	01:21:34
	Typable.	01:21:40
	Trailer.	01:21:42
	And it would be.	01:21:47
	And again those trailers?	01:21:51
	Or like this?	01:21:56
	Instead of this.	01:21:58
	We would like something more basic.	01:22:01
	Like this where we can put totes on them.	01:22:03
	Facility easier to go to the neighborhoods is facilitates separation of materials.	01:22:06
	As we look to maximize revenue from from that the only.	01:22:13
	Item.	01:22:19
	That makes that a little bit complicated. Is that with the grant agreement for my DEM?	01:22:21
	Any changes to it, they need to approve.	01:22:27
	So I submitted last Wednesday a request for.	01:22:30
	A trade off?	01:22:33
	Of the 1 trailer.	01:22:35
	And 20,270.	01:22:37
	For two $8000.	01:22:40
	Trailers.	01:22:43
	With the totes and some additional materials that basically comes within $750 of that original trailer that I requested.	01:22:46
	I was hoping that they would come back and say.	01:22:57
	Don't need to modify the agreement.	01:23:00
	But they haven't come back and said anything yet, so.	01:23:03
	I'm highly confident that they will.	01:23:07
	Because they want us to do the right thing. We want to support us in a way that we feel.	01:23:10
	We will be more sufficient and carrying out that the objectives of the grant application so.	01:23:15
	What was the idea that they will say yes to the two utility trailers?	01:23:23
	Recommendation is that we move forward with board approval.	01:23:30
	Again, pending item confirmation.	01:23:35
	The purchase of these two big techs utility trailers as noted in the.	01:23:39
	Fourth line of the equipment.	01:23:46
	Itemization, Scott. I'll give you come back to that in just a second because I'm going to make another motion for.	01:23:49
	The Pro Pro R1420.	01:23:56
	Those there's two of those plus the shipping handling at 5888.	01:24:02
	5880 apiece.	01:24:07
	Yes, the bends. I didn't get around to those.	01:24:09
	With the original motion, so I'm going to make a motion for that. It's the very bottom one.	01:24:14
	Second Got a motion by Brian, a second by Mr. Dickey.	01:24:19
	Discussion.	01:24:25
	Aye opposed.	01:24:28
	Now I'll make a motion for. I'm sorry, go ahead.	01:24:31
	Motion for the.	01:24:35
	The pro trailer Pro Tilt that you have advertised here. The big text 14PI-20.	01:24:37
	K.	01:24:49
	So utility trailers, utility trailers, both of them as you have advertised here, both for $8000 with the contingency that I dem	01:24:51
	approves the.	01:24:55
	Change order? Well, set.	01:25:00
	Got a motion by Brad?	01:25:02
	Any further discussion?	01:25:06
	All, I think is favorite saying.	01:25:10
	Opposed social character. Thank you all.	01:25:14
	Want to talk just very briefly about the edit modifications that we've referenced.	01:25:20
	That's what we went back and forth and seeking to resolve this issue first brought up at our January meeting with Jason and John's	01:25:25
	input for spread involved prior to that point essentially got that to the agreement with the commissioners that we would.	01:25:33
	Freeze the $50,000 capital request for a truck for 2024 #1 #2 agreed that that there would be 25,000 in other spending.	01:25:43
	As well that would.	01:25:55
	Basically reduce the contribution from added from the amount requested less 75,000.	01:25:58
	In the meantime, County has.	01:26:07
	Given us the initial draw, 335,000.	01:26:11
	And then, you know, we look forward to in July to receive another 65.	01:26:18
	From edit and.	01:26:24
	Another 17478 from the CCD fund also on the approximate timing of July.	01:26:26
	But everybody, I think is in agreement. We're happy with it. We'll live with it. The only thing that we will do is that we will.	01:26:35
	From our operational standpoint.	01:26:42
	We will have.	01:26:45
	A certain amount of money unappropriated and so we will isolate at least 25,000.	01:26:48
	Of unappropriated dollars come back to you, seek that appropriation that then we'll have to go before the County Council as well	01:26:54
	in order to make up for the 25,000.	01:26:59
	That we are freezing up front.	01:27:05
	If that makes sense.	01:27:09
	It does.	01:27:12
	Is that a confident look?	01:27:14
	No, you just had me. I go into the County Council for approval.	01:27:16
	Good luck.	01:27:21
	That's all right.	01:27:23
	Think I'm on vacation that day.	01:27:24
	Feel right to everybody.	01:27:30
	And again, thank you for your patience, Jason and John, Brad for helping work through this. Thanks for helping us work through it	01:27:31
	as well. And to be absolutely clear about, I have no intention for any capital dollars in 2024.	01:27:38
	Because we're not that far away from the initial draft of the 2020.	01:27:46
	2025 budget.	01:27:51
	And so would anticipate no capital requests.	01:27:53
	Assuming that we have some success in competing with the legacy foundation on a truck request.	01:27:59
	And then of course, you know, we'll be asking for no money for matching grants because we'll be completely focused on the full	01:28:06
	execution of the two grants we have in 2024 that actually lasts for 18 months.	01:28:13
	So we don't have time to.	01:28:21
	Buy anything else?	01:28:24
	Let me talk a little bit about.	01:28:29
	Our cost savings initiative and I think this has been a fun exercise actually, but.	01:28:31
	Essentially as you know.	01:28:39
	Our team currently makes 500 trips a year.	01:28:41
	To Fern Valley Rd. just east of the Ford Louisville Assembly Plant.	01:28:45
	And primarily taking corrugated boxes and that.	01:28:51
	It has the greatest value currently at $6065 a ton for loose, corrugated but.	01:29:01
	A 30% thirty, 2% premium with a bail arrangement. But that's a long way to go.	01:29:09
	And and so we went through the calc.	01:29:18
	The couch, so you know to 38 minutes, 27 mile drive.	01:29:20
	To Industrial Blvd.	01:29:27
	We looked at the web key as an alternative.	01:29:29
	That's twenty mile, 20 minutes, 12 miles just on West Oak St.	01:29:32
	So if you take the 9th St. exit.	01:29:40
	And just keep going straight, you're 1012 minutes from the rocky facility.	01:29:43
	We really thought about wear and tear on our vehicles. We thought about.	01:29:50
	Of the time because usually we have two.	01:29:54
	Employees in the truck making that run and that's just downtime that we cannot afford.	01:29:58
	But we're trying to do a lot of things without asking for more money for more people.	01:30:05
	So that really was our key incentive to really examine are there cost saving opportunities. So we looked at it from a personnel	01:30:09
	standpoint, the fuel consumption standpoint.	01:30:14
	We think that we can save in excess of 6200 a year.	01:30:20
	Just the fuel costs?	01:30:25
	By.	01:30:27
	Making some changes, the productivity I mentioned and then the revenue.	01:30:30
	One of the big considerations though.	01:30:35
	Is that as we've talked to?	01:30:37
	Even though they offered some benefits.	01:30:39
	As far as lesser distance, they don't service Galena.	01:30:43
	And we have 11 bids that we call single string bins. At the annex we have 10.	01:30:48
	At the Galena site.	01:30:55
	And Denny's Galena service once a week.	01:30:56
	And grant line of service twice a week.	01:31:00
	We simply can't have.	01:31:03
	Productive relationship with the firm that doesn't go to Galena.	01:31:06
	And so that that became disqualified for Ruby.	01:31:10
	So what do W rock our current provider?	01:31:14
	And said.	01:31:17
	We're happy with your.	01:31:20
	Very efficient. They are open 24/7.	01:31:22
	Dave Masseyville in particular has talked about that their new checking system thinks about as efficient as it can be from the	01:31:25
	mechanical standpoint. Rocky has more condensed hours and and not as sophisticated a check in, check out system.	01:31:34
	But I asked West Rocks help in solving the problems.	01:31:44
	Laura Bellman, our contact, had what proved to be an excellent idea.	01:31:50
	As we look forward to the implementation of our bailed era.	01:31:55
	Then I would say what she offered would be that Westrock would dispatch, at our request, a box truck.	01:32:02
	Within 24 hours of said request.	01:32:11
	And that box truck would cost us $150.00.	01:32:13
	But it would take up to 14 males.	01:32:17
	Of which, again at $95 a ton.	01:32:21
	Can put us north of between 5:00 and $600 in net revenue on the transaction. Yes, we pay them 150 to come get it.	01:32:26
	But because we're paying them 150 to come get it.	01:32:36
	We're not sending Dave and Jessica and Ron and Mike over to Fern Valley Rd. That's a big deal.	01:32:39
	Because we we can reallocate those hours in terms of serving the neighborhoods that we've identified in the first item grant. So	01:32:48
	the recommendation don't really need your formal approval on one should understand that we've gone through pretty much a three to	01:32:55
	four month process but weighing the pros and cons.	01:33:02
	I feel really, really good about staying.	01:33:10
	The course, But then turning some of the transportation burden onto our vendor, West Dr. freeing up our people a little bit more.	01:33:13
	And reducing the warrant term our equipment more.	01:33:25
	Not to say fuel savings to boot.	01:33:30
	On top of that.	01:33:33
	John brought it up initially. We've now again Dave Watsons initiative to go to Jacobi and have them place a 500 gallon tank at the	01:33:38
	Annex because our folks and you can read it at your convenience.	01:33:45
	Where we've done the calculations on, but just.	01:33:54
	The highlight.	01:33:58
	We would make at least 23 trips a month to the cattle garage on average.	01:33:59
	That's 418 miles a month, assuming an average of 10 miles per gallon.	01:34:04
	It's 42 gallons of fuel saved, generating 109 dollars a month savings.	01:34:09
	And then the county garage being the 28 minute round trip from the annex.	01:34:16
	And again, two people.	01:34:21
	Perhaps in the vehicle?	01:34:23
	We come down to the point that we feel that there's a material savings of having.	01:34:25
	Fuel.	01:34:31
	At the same rate as the county pace of the garage.	01:34:32
	There at the Annex so.	01:34:35
	Attaboy to Dave for stepping forward on that because you have as a board, you have complete confidence that we're looking at every	01:34:39
	possibility to reduce spending.	01:34:44
	Be it.	01:34:50
	Wear and tear maintenance. You know you have skilled folks like the masculine.	01:34:53
	Will turn you know, the old HHW shed into a little bit of a garage for some grease monkey activity.	01:34:57
	And we're delighted at that and that's money that we're not spending.	01:35:06
	And any other vendor throughout the city.	01:35:09
	Not that that can be completely avoided, but I'm really pleased that we have good momentum, good sensitivity to.	01:35:12
	What those costs are and how we can continue to reduce that.	01:35:20
	Final point of the day is relative to partnership initiatives. All of you've heard agnesium discussions ongoing for many, many,	01:35:27
	many, many months with Baptist Lloyd.	01:35:33
	And I'm happy to.	01:35:40
	That after my most recent sit down with the.	01:35:42
	Environmental services at the hospital at noon today.	01:35:46
	That they are delighted that we've completed our expansion.	01:35:50
	Delighted that we have a bin that we can place at the hospital. Delighted that we're in a position to take their corrugated not	01:35:55
	only.	01:36:00
	Generating a normal course of hospital operations, but they have major construction ongoing and we'll have for many, many months	01:36:06
	to come. And so my next step is to complete a draft partnership agreement.	01:36:14
	That.	01:36:24
	We'd like to make sure that those of us in the trenches, Lamont read at Environmental Services and our team agrees to completely	01:36:26
	in terms of how does this work. But I think it'll be helpful to the hospital to allow other people to focus more on their primary	01:36:33
	responsibilities would be helpful to us in terms of engineering and volume for which we can generate revenue. But what I would	01:36:41
	like is that the Board's of motion, if you will.	01:36:48
	To appoint the President and the Vice President of the authority to sign such a partnership agreement between now and the time	01:36:56
	that we meet the next time as a board in May.	01:37:02
	And I would estimate that there would be around April 15th.	01:37:09
	But we can pull that off, so.	01:37:13
	Request such a motion.	01:37:17
	I'll make that motion, but also to subject to Rick's review.	01:37:18
	Subject to your review, Rick, to make sure that we're not.	01:37:22
	Kosher. I'd like a motion that we do that, but pending.	01:37:27
	Rick's review to allow Brad and Jason to sign outside the meeting.	01:37:32
	Actually, I'll get the draft to Rick before you all see it then. Yep.	01:37:37
	2nd.	01:37:42
	John the second vibe.	01:37:45
	Any further discussion?	01:37:48
	Adam, Adam. Yeah.	01:37:51
	All in favor signify by saying aye, aye any opposed?	01:38:00
	Those carries.	01:38:04
	Final Point and Freight team got momentum, lots of moving parts.	01:38:05
	Nothing's going to be easy, especially with the execution of the Grants, but as we talked about in our team meeting this morning.	01:38:12
	Given this is our management team.	01:38:20
	We could choose to do nothing.	01:38:24
	And just be opening up the gates, collecting the recycling and lock the gates and then do it again tomorrow. We don't choose to do	01:38:26
	that. And you know, we're confident enough that, you know, we have enough brain power.	01:38:32
	In this world, you've included to figure out any barrier that we need to.	01:38:38
	Figure out as we move forward to reach that point of 50% recycling household wastes.	01:38:45
	In county households by 20.	01:38:53
	So again, thank you for your support and thank you 3 for all you do in particular.	01:38:56
	I have a quick question on backtrackable business W Rock.	01:39:01
	Do you have a formal agreement you're going to be signing with them on the pickup? I've?	01:39:06
	She didn't say there needed to be one. We currently don't have one, I don't believe, even though they come.	01:39:12
	To three to the two locations 3 * a week to pick up. I just think for insurance workman's comp, it needs to be spelled out. Who's	01:39:18
	going to be loading material onto what piece of equipment. We don't want their folks using our equipment, they don't want us using	01:39:24
	theirs in case something gets banged up. So I would just.	01:39:29
	Ideally they would load it and that gives you even more freedom with your staff, but.	01:39:36
	But now that we have the.	01:39:42
	New used forklift.	01:39:45
	My guess is that the forklift will be employed and loading the box truck.	01:39:47
	I'm out-of-the-box. Truck would have one with it. Probably not. I think just needs to be spelled out in case the new used forklift	01:39:52
	bands up the.	01:39:56
	Thank you, Sir. Thank you.	01:40:04
	All right, Any public input today?	01:40:07
	No. All right. So the next meeting is going to be May 21st at 4:20.	01:40:11
	Look for a motion to adjourn. Motion to adjourn.	01:40:17
	Second motion by John. Second by all in favor, signify the city, aye, aye.	01:40:20
	Have a great day. Thank you all for what you what you're doing. Got a great team going and.	01:40:27
	I love the energy and the thoughts.	01:40:32
	It's been nice.	01:40:38
	Got a few?	01:40:41

	March my teeth. Go ahead and call this meeting with Floyd County Solid Waste Management District Board of Directors. You would	00:00:00
	rise for the pledge for it.	00:00:03
	Pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God,	00:00:08
	indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.	00:00:14

	All right. So let's go ahead and get started. Started.	00:00:34
	Do we do a roll caller here typically or you usually just?	00:00:38
	OK. Do you want to call the rolled in?	00:00:42

	All in favor signify by saying aye, aye any opposed?	00:01:20
	Motion character.	00:01:24
	Approval the February provisional claims.	00:01:26
	Much different. I'll 2nd that I got a motion in a second. Any further discussion I just. I just have a clarification Scott, I know	00:01:33
	the answer.	00:01:37
	In February and in early March, we purchased fuel from.	00:01:42
	Road department, but then later on March is when we had our own tank install.	00:01:48
	Out there at early March. So that's why there's.	00:01:54
	From the Floyd County Road Department, then Jacobi later on. OK, That's what I was thinking. Thank you.	00:01:59
	I'm good. All right. So I got a motion in a second.	00:02:07
	Any further discussion?	00:02:13
	OK, all in favor signify by saying aye, aye, Anthony opposed.	00:02:15
	Look first.	00:02:19
	Approval Resolution 202401 Amendment Exhibit A.	00:02:22
	All favor signify by saying aye opposed.	00:02:41
	Motion carries.	00:02:45
	Approval of the Resolution 202401 Amendment Exhibit A.	00:02:47
	Again just clarification on that and given the off month that the President and Vice President Board authorized to claim.	00:02:52
	Pending formal approval of following months that allows us to.	00:03:03
	Mr. Fox, have you looked at this? Is everything good for the resolution side?	00:03:12
	I don't see that I have it here.	00:03:19
	Probably would not be with that.	00:03:23
	Yeah. This John brought up at the last meeting that maybe there's a way that we could reduce the amount of paperwork. So what we	00:03:27
	purposely did is leave out all the financials that are somewhat the majority part of the 31 pages in this case, left out the state	00:03:35
	of resolution that we've been using since the implementation of these.	00:03:44
	Provision.	00:03:53
	OK, so I'm going to make a motion that we approve the resolution.	00:03:56
	2024-01 with the and allow the president to sign outside the meeting with the contingency that the attorney reviews and is	00:04:01
	approved is OK with it.	00:04:06
	Again, the resolution has to change. It's just that we need the work approval what we add names to the vendor list.	00:04:12
	If somebody's not on that list, then you're not so empowered. These would be the original resolutions to provide the traditional	00:04:20
	approval. So no change at all ever to the original resolution that enables president, vice president.	00:04:29
	All we did was add a couple vendors to the list.	00:04:38
	OK, that's fine. All right, then I I will withdraw the original motion and make a motion to approve the resolution as advertised.	00:04:43
	I'll second. OK. I got a motion in a second. Any further discussion?	00:04:49
	All in favor signify by saying aye, aye any opposed?	00:04:55
	Motion carries.	00:04:59
	Director's report.	00:05:01
	So we have a substantive agenda today. That doesn't necessarily mean that we will run time at all, but please what we have to talk	00:05:03
	about today.	00:05:09
	You can always start with Marketing and communications and you'll see in recovery records reporting metrics for.	00:05:15
	But then full points around the school education initiative that you're aware of and a couple other things going on. So I'd like	00:05:26
	my colleague Laura Riggle to come up and provide a little bit of an update on her initiative to give recycling education to the	00:05:32
	4th grade classroom account.	00:05:38
	Thank you for hearing me speak and good afternoon.	00:05:47
	I'm a retired educator from Greater Clark and it's been my privilege to have this opportunity to reach out to 4th graders and try	00:05:51
	to inspire them to become ambassadors of recycling. I want to. Really. I.	00:06:00
	Point to Mr. Tony Duffy. He has been very instrumental in getting the word out to New Albany Floyd County Schools.	00:06:10
	Elementary education, yes. And he he wanted the whole package. He wanted to see it and I wrote the curriculum and he has just been	00:06:20
	ecstatic about getting it started. We have a teacher, Mr. Scott Birch, who has been instrumental in recycling for a few years now.	00:06:31
	And it's just a tremendous partner for recycling. Dave and Davo have worked with Scott, and other teachers at Mount Tabor have	00:06:43
	joined forces with this, as well as Miss Hannah Striegel at Christian Academy. She's welcomed me into her class and I've begun	00:06:52
	teaching there. We also have Grant Line Elementary and Slave Run coming up in April, so I'll be starting classes with them.	00:07:02
	And this fall, Saint Mary's of the Knobs. They would have started earlier, but due to a few conflicts back in January, I was	00:07:13
	unable to get there. But they're starting in the fall and so is SLN and Jones, so I'm very happy to be of service to these.	00:07:21
	Children and their teachers. It's been a positive experience so far. Lots of good questions, lots of questions. I've had to go in	00:07:29
	Google, so I'm I'm looking forward to continuing that with them.	00:07:36
	As of today, there's been 29.	00:07:45
	Lessons taught OK since it started in February.	00:07:50
	And I think that's kind of rounds it out again. We want them to help us.	00:07:54
	Increase recycling in the county 50% you know by 2030.	00:08:01
	So I'm hoping that we can continue that. Laura, is this a one time visit or do you go back?	00:08:07
	Additional times or what?	00:08:14
	Mount Tabor I know Scott had already begun recycling with his kids, so I think there were like 3 lessons I did with them and the	00:08:17
	other three teachers that teach 4th grade, I did 8 lessons with them and I may go back for some experiments with them.	00:08:26
	About how many 4th graders do you think you're reaching? I don't know how many there are in Floyd County and how many you have.	00:08:37
	Reached at this point 1200, if I go to all the schools.	00:08:43
	And in the paper that you have regarding the education initiative?	00:08:49
	They they have been notified of it, but some of them did not get that information maybe from their principal just yet.	00:08:55
	And plus, we have to remember their standardized testing going on. So I look for this fall.	00:09:03
	To be a greater push for this.	00:09:09
	Thank you for your time. Thank you, Thank you.	00:09:15
	Now maybe we can help the Holy Family a little bit. It's been tough to get in there and Our Lady of Perpetual Health, actually. So	00:09:21
	we have a little momentum with Drop me a text with a reminder and I will see what I can do.	00:09:27
	Yeah, I should show up.	00:09:35
	Have Operations Manager, Dave Watson with us today as well. Wanted Dave to talk about the completion of the building, renovation	00:09:39
	and a few other points as well that you'll find interesting.	00:09:47
	Ladies and gentlemen.	00:09:58
	We are making progress, there's no doubt there.	00:10:00
	The construction is completed as far as the structure.	00:10:03
	We're in the process now of going to get some inside walls.	00:10:08
	And do our finished work inside the.	00:10:13
	It's we are surprised that once we got to look at how big the room became.	00:10:17
	And looking from the shed to now our our new home, we're in the process. Now like I said, you want to get some materials we'll be	00:10:24
	moving out of.	00:10:29
	What would be the?	00:10:35
	Building for the Baylor and so we have to get that cleaned out before we can progress.	00:10:37
	Were there, we were able to get the Hazmat connex box.	00:10:43
	Moved from down.	00:10:50
	Know about that, so you have in your packet.	00:10:53
	Pictures.	00:10:58
	A raise.	00:11:01
	Specifically built through this and that has been sitting at the wastewater treatment plant.	00:11:06
	For 20 years, Yeah, for years.	00:11:11
	I've been with.	00:11:16
	Yeah, almost six years.	00:11:17
	And we've never used it since. I've been with the firm, as we would love to call it.	00:11:19
	So but we were able to move it.	00:11:27
	And Davos and Jessica were working today, you know, working on our entrance way.	00:11:32
	It's It is designed for this specific purpose of storing hazardous waste.	00:11:41
	And materials.	00:11:47
	As that's its function and it's what it will be.	00:11:49
	We.	00:11:54
	Have just a few items left.	00:11:55
	Finalize that, but it is.	00:11:57
	Near completion. So essentially you'll recall that we have the second pull bar that we dedicated to long term employee, Dorothy	00:12:01
	Lee.	00:12:05
	Back when she left in the summertime.	00:12:09
	And that will.	00:12:13
	Will be now reassigned in its primary task. I'll ask Dave Nashville to talk about that in a second.	00:12:16
	But essentially.	00:12:23
	The.	00:12:27
	Yesterday by Pageant in fact will be the center of our HHW activities and feel really good about that. And I'm going to say thank	00:12:29
	you to Adam Dickey for making the contact. Thanks to Mike Wallace of the city's wastewater utility for his cooperation as well to	00:12:37
	allow Hedges to come in and cherry pick the container.	00:12:44
	Didn't even have to takedown the fence, lifted it over the fence and put it on the flatbed and brought it out to the atoms. So	00:12:52
	we're delighted with that. That was a thoughtful move to capture that, to give us as much capability in terms of efficiently and	00:12:59
	effectively manage HHW.	00:13:06
	I'm I'm going to ask this question real quick.	00:13:16
	The hydrant was obviously there first.	00:13:20
	But do we place this there with the idea that it would also be close to the hydrant, the fire hydrant?	00:13:23
	Or was that?	00:13:29
	The space was the preferable space. The hybrid is not operational.	00:13:33
	Oh, you see that tag?	00:13:38
	Well, yeah, I did see that. I did see that, yes.	00:13:42
	It's like because I actually had, I kind of had the same question, I noticed that the hybrid was out of services. Has it been out	00:13:44
	of service for a long time up there?	00:13:48
	OK, yeah, there was, there was a water leak in along the roadway.	00:13:54
	And because it was a.	00:14:01
	Whether they call it property or probably own the, we own the hydrant, yes.	00:14:04
	American Water was not involved with it. It was up to us to make any repairs and put it back in service, and that's never been	00:14:10
	done. I've never turned it off. I've never.	00:14:15
	As a result. That's why we have 1/4.	00:14:22
	Adam, I do want to say that they get a lot of pets, so this is pet friendly. If the dogs want to use that, they're more than	00:14:27
	welcome to.	00:14:31
	Sure. I I guess as a side note.	00:14:36
	That's terrible. I don't know what the repairs would be to the line or the hydrant, but.	00:14:40
	Don't. Don't we want that? Yeah, I would think that it would probably be worth looking at, quite honestly. It really depends on	00:14:47
	where the closest hybrid is.	00:14:52
	To that well played down the fire department is me apart. I I mean I'm I'm I'm thinking. I'm thinking my my fireman would would	00:14:57
	very much appreciate me.	00:15:03
	Raising that concern if something actually occurred there.	00:15:09
	This aside, I mean, honestly, you know, we've talked about it really in the context of bathroom facilities and just have never	00:15:14
	found it that fiscally doable to.	00:15:20
	Make that happen, honestly and all kidding aside, and we certainly will paint it.	00:15:28
	Make it an attractive icon of some kind, But you know, no plans to move it at this point in time.	00:15:35
	Well, I I mean, my first thought was that was.	00:15:45
	Pretty convenient placement, but I didn't think about it having the tag on it either. So and they talk a little bit about the	00:15:48
	partnership with the folks next door that have helped make that grading possible. We've had a real good neighbor in the National	00:15:55
	Guard Armory.	00:16:01
	Through some contacts, we talked with them.	00:16:10
	They've come over with their bobcat and have done some work for us.	00:16:13
	Doing some grading, doing some digging.	00:16:18
	They have just and.	00:16:21
	It's always been a real pleasure to work with them.	00:16:23
	Are they? They like having things, things to do, and if they're not busy, they.	00:16:27
	Jump on and they come right on over.	00:16:32
	So it has really been a pleasure working with them.	00:16:35
	I did spring for some pizzas up there down to.	00:16:41
	You know, to help the guys out, they probably like that.	00:16:44
	But now they have, they really have helped a lot and and they're always there and they they said anytime if we're not busy we'll	00:16:51
	be glad to help out. And so it's been really good neighbors. And then we'll start the HHW collection from the springtime on April	00:16:57
	the 13th.	00:17:03
	And that's something that William Lara and another one of our employees, Raymond Thomas.	00:17:11
	Maybe just generally on The Saturdays from 9:00 to 1:00 with everybody pitching in as needed.	00:17:17
	So we'll report that.	00:17:24
	Dave. Dave helped by getting the entire place where there's no current inventory.	00:17:27
	Including some complicated unknown chemicals that have been leftover.	00:17:35
	Way to address.	00:17:42
	Have tested and then transported off site within the next week.	00:17:43
	Scott, you you help me with this.	00:17:49
	When you were talking, I have an idea or just a thought about our pricing. Is our pricing in good shape when it comes to the	00:17:54
	collection of?	00:17:58
	You balance the.	00:18:04
	$4.00 a gallon for paint.	00:18:08
	The couple bucks for cans of pesticides or what have you.	00:18:12
	More often than not, do the pushback from one of the cities who don't like paying.	00:18:20
	So clearly the county is subsidizing this activity.	00:18:26
	And my judgment, we're at the right price point now.	00:18:31
	Not to disadvantage ourselves.	00:18:36
	In disincentivizing.	00:18:40
	Maybe had somebody and we had a.	00:18:45
	We have several people that are longtime patrons and we've had a lady came through the other day and she wanted us to know.	00:18:50
	That the work we are doing at the site has made a big difference as far as the looks, she said. She was. She was impressed at how	00:19:00
	we were getting things cleaned up and looking more professional.	00:19:07
	And so of course we thanked her for that, but she she was adamant about San Diego. You go really put some effort in that here and	00:19:15
	so sometimes it shows.	00:19:20
	Sometimes you don't think it does, but it does. So we've made some good efforts and we've got more to do.	00:19:26
	When he also.	00:19:33
	Were the yeah, the cardboard. It had a grassy area there.	00:19:35
	You know, we had your dumpsters and then you got rid of grass. You put gravel down, right? Yeah.	00:19:41
	Yeah, we are. Once, once we get finished with our grading, we're going to try a different alignment on the trailer parking.	00:19:47
	And we're kind of experimenting to see what works best, right? But we are.	00:19:54
	We're looking to be more efficient.	00:20:00
	That's what the way we're doing.	00:20:04
	Let me ask the question.	00:20:07
	TV's and stuff, you store those outside, is that right?	00:20:10
	But flat screen is going to.	00:20:15
	OK.	00:20:21
	Good. Thank you.	00:20:22
	To talk a little bit about the new life and vision for the old HHW building. And again, remind you, Dave, how long have you been	00:20:25
	with us now? Almost 2 two years in September. That's amazing. So a year and a half retired from the Kentucky truck.	00:20:34
	We look at him as our deficiency expert.	00:20:46
	You know, 6 Sigma, you know he's the guy who.	00:20:49
	Talks about when he's at home at night, he gets up from his chair to build a kitchen. He tries to think what can I do between here	00:20:53
	and there to be more efficient and I'll get inside. And that's not a proof of the world lesson for us as well. So a great member	00:20:59
	of the team and and it's always pushing us to look at things differently. So talk a little bit about I guess from my side, we	00:21:05
	currently run five trucks.	00:21:11
	9 trailers and four containers, right?	00:21:18
	So we're just constantly looking at ways to make things more efficient with the bringing on the the new container for the	00:21:21
	chemicals it opens up that garage for us to be able to.	00:21:27
	Do our maintenance to the trailers and to the trucks.	00:21:34
	And you know, of course we're saving costs by doing that way. We're not doing major stuff and like we just had a truck breakdown	00:21:39
	this week that we had to have put in the shop. The simple stuff, light bulb goes out, you know, the trailer tire needs a plug in	00:21:45
	it, then we take care of that stuff. And since I've been there, I mean.	00:21:51
	That has improved pretty significantly. You know the less we have, a lot less flats because we're running you know a commercial	00:21:58
	grade ceiling and the trailer tires, so you know we can pull 3 or 4 nails out and not even have a flat.	00:22:05
	So that saves us 25 bucks a pump.	00:22:12
	From that so again having the.	00:22:16
	The container and opening up.	00:22:20
	Garage for us to workout of is going to be pretty significant across.	00:22:23
	Continuing to be efficient, safe money and truck was 12 that we get told last week that.	00:22:27
	That we had the only reason I'm bringing that up.	00:22:34
	If we have agreed as part of the edit funding settlement to.	00:22:36
	Not asked Edit to fund a new truck this year. It's not because we don't need it.	00:22:41
	Think it's the right decision to put this on the back order? No problem with that. But just you know that trucks in 2012.	00:22:47
	It's not the oldest truck you've got.	00:22:59
	It's got 90,000 miles on it.	00:23:01
	The highest mileage truck we have as 100.	00:23:04
	302,000 which is truck.	00:23:07
	Truck 12112 right? Yeah so everything else is hovered in between other than the the the 24 Chevy.	00:23:11
	You have 8000 miles of that already.	00:23:22
	So here we update two other former Kentucky truck plant employees who are saving this money out of pocket, what they're able to do	00:23:25
	because of their expertise and we go off of my Chevy truck.	00:23:31
	Is because it's more ergonomically easier on the older people to get in and out of that truck.	00:23:39
	Thank you. Thanks.	00:23:50
	Let me talk a little bit about our.	00:23:56
	Grants which.	00:23:58
	Well, the dashboard, the February traffic count, we had nearly 4200 vehicles.	00:24:02
	And 100, almost 111,000 lbs.	00:24:08
	Our item grants all sound sealed and delivered at this point in time. So just a reminder, we'll call it grant number one that we	00:24:12
	call the, it's the recycling recycled market development program. That's what will give us the additional trailers and the	00:24:19
	marketing and education program.	00:24:25
	For community purposes, really focused on these 13 neighborhoods that with John and Nick's help in county planning.	00:24:33
	We identified nearly a year ago when we submitted the grant application that we would try to bring recycling to those underserved	00:24:42
	areas of the county, so with Lars help.	00:24:48
	And with the help of a professor at IUS and a student at IUS, a marketing student, we're already putting plans together. We've	00:24:55
	already knocked on some doors in some of these neighborhoods.	00:25:02
	And our key focus over the next two to three weeks will be to really isolate exactly those neighborhoods and the timetable we're	00:25:09
	going to be going into them and how we're going to best serve them.	00:25:15
	So we're really excited about that. The second item grant, the community Recycling Grant program essentially funds the Baylor.	00:25:22
	And funds the some out of pocket education materials that Laura will be able to use as she continues to expand her in school	00:25:33
	education effort.	00:25:38
	That leads us to recommendations for equipment purchases. Today, we looked at three different balers.	00:25:46
	And while the grant is for 23,000 for a failure.	00:25:54
	We're recommending the $24,000 failure.	00:26:00
	Short of not the $29,000 failure, but one that not only comes with full.	00:26:06
	Installation and labor included, but also ongoing maintenance.	00:26:14
	That being from the Allstate Equipment Company for 24,650 and I think we could make up the difference on that.	00:26:20
	Jason, do you want to take these like one at a time because of basically 2 trailers?	00:26:31
	Or 1 trailer.	00:26:37
	Two bins that we're talking about in addition to the Baylor.	00:26:39
	Like the board's approval.	00:26:44
	Or purchase. Rick, do you have any thoughts on that? I take them one at a time. OK. OK.	00:26:46
	So our recommendation would be the Allstate equipment.	00:26:54
	Baylor.	00:26:58
	At 24650, of which again 50% of the purchase cost will come from.	00:27:00
	Motion to approve second.	00:27:09
	Got a motion in a second? Any further discussion?	00:27:11
	OK, sorry.	00:27:20
	OK, all in favor signify by saying aye, aye, opposed.	00:27:22
	We go down to the trailers.	00:27:27
	The we have had.	00:27:29
	Basically just a single trailer for most of my tenure we did back in September, you'll recall by a smaller trailer and a smaller	00:27:32
	bin to go on that trailer from Big Tex. At this time, it was our interest in buying a.	00:27:41
	Another trailer, because the one that we have originally protein is the brand name.	00:27:52
	Is, is.	00:28:00
	Not in as bad as shape as Truck 112.	00:28:02
	But in fact, that needs to be replaced in a day-to-day operational way and then we're asking for a bin to go on that, which will	00:28:05
	enable us to be more efficient in our collections.	00:28:12
	And that essentially is.	00:28:21
	Listed.	00:28:24
	Under second from the bottom you'll see the PROR.	00:28:30
	16 TR.	00:28:35
	It's The trailer itself is at 27995.	00:28:37
	Again, I then pays for 50% of that.	00:28:42
	In addition to that, we have a open bin at 58180 dollars.	00:28:46
	That would go with that.	00:28:53
	And we had at.	00:28:56
	At the end of.	00:29:00
	Oh, let's see.	00:29:02
	The grant was turned in in June and then they came back. I didn't came back to us and said hey, you really can't fund $5000 in	00:29:04
	stipends for the IUS students because they don't cover personnel cost and they asked me to throw in.	00:29:12
	Another five or $6000 to replace that in order to beat the threshold of the $100,000.	00:29:22
	Grant minimum.	00:29:29
	And so I threw in another bit. So what we're talking about here is a a bin for.	00:29:31
	Two bins at the bottom of the page. There are 58180 apiece that go with the trailer. That's 27995.	00:29:39
	And again, that's complementing.	00:29:49
	The model that we currently have.	00:29:52
	And we found nothing at any price that would be preferable to that. So recommendation would be for that trailer and the two.	00:29:55
	Protainer bins.	00:30:06
	5880 apiece.	00:30:09
	For your approval.	00:30:12
	I'll make a motion for the first one, The trailer, I believe it is.	00:30:15
	For the Pro R16.	00:30:21
	TR for 27995.	00:30:25
	Second OK, I got a motion by Brad and second by John.	00:30:28
	Any further discussion?	00:30:32
	Super 5 by saying aye aye opposed.	00:30:36
	Motion carries.	00:30:40
	Third thing is a.	00:30:42
	I hope I'm saying this right because we also requested a protainer. So for those of you who have visited our sites, you're quite	00:30:45
	used to seeing the green trailers with the slots on the side. We had envisioned that.	00:30:52
	Yeah, back in the springtime of 2023.	00:31:00
	But as we have thought, more as a team.	00:31:04
	About how do we most effectively execute serving these neighborhoods. We've come up with a thought that instead of just having a	00:31:07
	another protein or.	00:31:13
	Typable.	00:31:19
	Trailer.	00:31:21
	And it would be.	00:31:26
	And again those trailers?	00:31:30
	Or like this?	00:31:35
	Instead of this.	00:31:37
	We would like something more basic.	00:31:39
	Like this? Well, we can put totes on them.	00:31:42
	Facility easier to go to the neighborhoods is facilitates separation of materials.	00:31:45
	As we look to maximize revenue from from that the only.	00:31:51
	Item.	00:31:57
	That makes that a little bit complicated. Is that with the grant agreement from item?	00:32:00
	Any changes to it, they need to approve, so I submitted last Wednesday a request for a trade off.	00:32:06
	Of the 1 trailer.	00:32:14
	And 20,270.	00:32:16
	For two $8000.	00:32:19
	Trailers.	00:32:22
	With the totes and some additional materials that basically comes within $750 of that original trailer that I requested.	00:32:24
	I was hoping that they would come back and say.	00:32:36
	Don't need to modify the agreement.	00:32:38
	But they haven't come back and said anything yet, so.	00:32:42
	I'm highly confident that they will.	00:32:46
	Because they want us to do the right thing, we want to support us in a way that we feel we will be most efficient and carrying out	00:32:49
	that the objectives of the grant application so.	00:32:55
	What with the idea that they will say yes to the two utility trailers?	00:33:02
	Recommendation is that we move forward with board approval.	00:33:08
	Again, pending item confirmation.	00:33:14
	The purchase of these two big techs utility trailers as noted in the.	00:33:18
	Fourth line of the equipment.	00:33:25
	Itemization, Scott. I'll give you come back to that in just a second because I'm going to make another motion for.	00:33:27
	The Pro Pro R1420.	00:33:35
	Those there's two of those, plus the shipping and handling at 58885 thousand 880 a piece.	00:33:41
	Yes, the bends. I didn't get around to those.	00:33:48
	With the original motion, so I'm going to make a motion for that. It's the very bottom one.	00:33:53
	Second Got a motion by Brian, a second by Mr. Dickey.	00:33:58
	Aye opposed.	00:34:07
	Now I'll make a motion for. I'm sorry, go ahead. I'm sorry.	00:34:10
	Motion for the.	00:34:14
	The pro trailer, Pro Tilt that.	00:34:16
	You have advertised here the big Tex 14PI-20.	00:34:21
	BK utility trailers, both of them as you have advertised here, both for $8000 with the contingency that I den approves the.	00:34:27
	Change order? Well, set.	00:34:38
	Got a motion by Brad. I'll second, second by John.	00:34:41
	Any further discussion?	00:34:47
	All I think favor signify by saying Aye, aye.	00:34:49
	Opposed social characters. Thank you all.	00:34:53
	Want to talk just very briefly about the edit modifications that we've referenced.	00:34:58
	That's what we went back and forth and seeking to resolve this issue first brought up at our January meeting with Jason and John's	00:35:03
	input for spread involved prior to that point essentially got that to the agreement with the commissioners that we would.	00:35:12
	Freeze the $50,000 capital request for a truck for 2024 #1 #2 agreed that that there would be 25,000 in other spending frozen as	00:35:22
	well.	00:35:28
	That would.	00:35:35
	Basically reduce the contribution from added from the amount requested less 75,000.	00:35:37
	In the meantime, County has.	00:35:45
	Given us the initial draw of 335,000.	00:35:50
	And then we look forward to in July to receive another 65.	00:35:57
	From edit and another 17478 from the CCD fund also on the approximate time of July.	00:36:03
	Everybody, I think is in agreement. We're happy with it. We'll live with it. The only thing that we will do is that we will.	00:36:14
	From our operational standpoint.	00:36:21
	We will have.	00:36:24
	A certain amount of money unappropriated and so we will isolate at least 25,000.	00:36:27
	Of unappropriated dollars come back to you, seek that appropriation that then we'll have to go before the County Council as well	00:36:33
	in order to make up for the 25,000.	00:36:38
	That we are freezing up front.	00:36:44
	If that makes sense.	00:36:48
	It does.	00:36:51
	Is that a confident look?	00:36:53
	No, you just had me going to the County Council for approval.	00:36:55
	Good luck.	00:37:00
	That's all right. That's.	00:37:02
	Think I'm on vacation that day.	00:37:03
	Feel right to everybody.	00:37:08
	And again, thank you for your patience, Jason and John, Brad for helping work through this. Thanks for helping us work through it	00:37:10
	as well. And to be absolutely clear about it, I have no intention for any capital dollars in 2024.	00:37:17
	Because we're not that far away from the initial draft of the 2020.	00:37:25
	2025 budget.	00:37:30
	And so we would anticipate no capital request.	00:37:32
	Assuming that we have some success in competing with the legacy foundation on a truck request.	00:37:38
	And then of course you know.	00:37:44
	Be asking for no money for matching grants because we'll be completely focused on the full execution of the two grants we have in	00:37:48
	2024 that actually lasts for 18 months.	00:37:53
	So we don't have time to.	00:38:00
	You know, buy anything else?	00:38:03
	Let me talk a little bit about.	00:38:08
	Our cost savings initiative and I think this has been a fun exercise actually, but.	00:38:10
	Essentially, as most of you know.	00:38:18
	Our team currently makes 500 trips a year.	00:38:20
	To Fern Valley Rd. just east of the Ford Louisville Assembly Plant.	00:38:24
	And primarily taking?	00:38:30
	Corrugated boxes and that.	00:38:33
	Has the greatest value, currently at $6065 a ton for loose, corrugated but.	00:38:40
	30% thirty 2% premium with a bail arrangement. But that's a long way to go.	00:38:48
	And and so we went through the calc.	00:38:57
	The couch of you know, to 38 minutes, 27 mile drive.	00:38:59
	To Industrial Blvd.	00:39:05
	We looked at the web key as an alternative.	00:39:08
	That's twenty mile, 20 minutes, 12 miles just on West Oak St.	00:39:11
	So if you take the 9th St. exit.	00:39:19
	And just keep going straight. You're 10 to 12 minutes from.	00:39:22
	Facility.	00:39:26
	We really thought about wear and tear on our vehicles. We thought about.	00:39:29
	Of the time because usually we have two.	00:39:33
	Employees in the truck making that run and that's just downtime that we cannot afford.	00:39:37
	What we're trying to do a lot of things without asking for more money for more people. So that really was our key incentive to	00:39:44
	really examine are there cost saving opportunities. So we looked at it from a personnel standpoint, the fuel consumption	00:39:49
	standpoint.	00:39:54
	We think that we can save in excess of 6200 a year.	00:39:59
	Just a fuel costs.	00:40:03
	By making some changes the productivity I mentioned and then the revenue.	00:40:06
	One of the big considerations though.	00:40:14
	Is that as we've talked to?	00:40:16
	Even though they offered some benefits.	00:40:18
	As far as lesser distance, they don't service Galena.	00:40:22
	And we have 11 bids that we call single string bins. At the annex we have 10.	00:40:27
	At the Galena site and then he's Galena's service once a week.	00:40:33
	And grant line of service twice a week.
