County Council, hopefully any council meeting. Please stand for the Pledge of Allegiance. 00:00:02
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and. 00:00:06
To the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. 00:00:11
The records show that we have six of seven present and I believe we have one on teams meeting. 00:00:24
Yeah, OK. 00:00:31
I just received a message he's not going to make it. 00:00:33
OK, All right, so. 00:00:36
We do have quorum tonight. 00:00:40
Mr. Tran, would you lead us in prayer, please? 00:00:44
Bow your heads in prayer with me, please. Dear Heavenly Father, we give you thanks and praise for your mighty works. 00:00:47
You're loving, you're you're good, you're gracious. 00:00:56
And you're faithful, and we thank you for all that you've done for us. We thank you for this county. We thank you for our elected 00:00:59
officials, our businesses, our churches, our families, those who keep us safe, and the individuals that make our community the 00:01:06
great place that as it is. 00:01:13
I pray for our world, and I lift up those less fortunate and those who are suffering, and I ask that you would bring peace, 00:01:21
comfort, and stability as only you can do. And as we enter the season labeled as Thanksgiving, we realize that every day is a day 00:01:27
of Thanksgiving because Your love, Your grace, and Your mercy is with us at all times. And for the little things that we take for 00:01:34
granted, we say thank you. 00:01:41
I pray for this Council meeting tonight. We ask that you would give us the wisdom. 00:01:49
And the guidance as we deliberate the items that are on the agenda and that we may we make every decision. 00:01:53
That would be for our benefit and for your glory. In Jesus name we pray. Amen. 00:02:04
All right. Has everybody had a chance to look over the agenda for tonight? 00:02:14
Second motion is second to accept the agenda. Any discussion. 00:02:21
All in favor say aye. Any opposed? 00:02:26
That carries October 16th council meeting minutes. 00:02:30
And budget adoption minutes. 00:02:36
I would accept Council meeting minutes 1016 and budget options 10/16. 00:02:40
I'll second that we have a motion and a second for both meetings on October 16th. Any discussion? 00:02:48
All in favor say aye. Any opposed that carries? 00:02:55
Is there anyone from the public that would like to speak tonight before we get started? 00:03:00
All right, seeing none, we'll jump into Mr. Matt Lords. 00:03:06
I would like to quote that be amended to 1000 instead of 2. 00:03:12
I think we. 00:03:20
Expected to get a little more grant money than we actually did so alone in that required match. 00:03:23
The Avenue clothings on. 00:03:30
Item B. I'm happy to enter any of those. 00:03:33
So you're requesting 1000 in item A instead of 2000. 00:03:38
I'll make a motion to approve 1A at $1000. Second motion a second for one A. Any discussion or questions for Mr. Lorge? 00:03:43
All in favor say aye aye. Any opposed? 00:03:55
That carries. 00:03:58
B to B, we had a very busy year. 00:04:02
Normal. So we've had some related expensive connected to that. 00:04:10
We came to make it as well, so in other words, we got 100,000 over what we were budgeted for this year. 00:04:22
I'll make a motion to approve 1B. 00:04:38
We have a motion and a second for 1B. 00:04:41
Questions or discussions? The public Defender. 00:04:45
So that you get a more like where we approved our. 00:04:51
Rachel make out to fill up finish out some years I won't be spelled. 00:04:57
A lot of those are appealed. We have to contract those out on an hourly basis. So we've had a rise in the number of termination of 00:05:02
plan or life cases and also with the number of jury trials we've had that resulted in a lot more than normal in terms of turning a 00:05:08
pallet for you. 00:05:15
So the appeals. 00:05:23
Contracted out to a different attorney. 00:05:24
We it's a lot harder to do it in house because of the multiple Co defendants that get tried and that rules out a lot of people on 00:05:28
a given case. So it's just easier to basically do that out on an hourly basis. 00:05:35
And we have probably about 1/2 a dozen people who use on a regular basis for that. 00:05:44
This is probably not the appropriate time, but. 00:05:51
I thought about it. Do you is there any tracking mechanism for the hours that serves the public defender? 00:05:53
What's the name? I bought a normal contractual. 00:05:59
Yeah, this one, I think we're paying what, 7 year, 580 thousand, Yeah, 7474 a year. Is there any tracking mechanism of actual how 00:06:04
many hours that they actually put in per year? 00:06:11
So that's how we comply with the Commission standard for the economy. 00:06:22
OK. So the Commission doesn't factor in how much or how little time they might work on any given K. They could care about the 00:06:29
number of kids that you've given to value. 00:06:34
OK, Any further discussions? 00:06:43
Right, we have a motion in a second for 1B. All in favor say aye aye. Any opposed? 00:06:48
Thank you. Thank you. 00:06:55
Mr. 00:06:56
Good evening, Don Loft, Director, Operations. First is a request for additional appropriation edit. 00:07:07
For capital improvements of 25,000, utilities of 40,000, maintenance of 40,000 and telephone for 40,000 total being $145,000. This 00:07:13
is basically just a cover year in expenses. I don't expect the. 00:07:20
These to actually be all spent and they'll just revert back into the. 00:07:28
Cash on hand at the end of the year. 00:07:34
But it would we're we are actually in the red right now on utilities. 00:07:35
There'll be another distribution, there'll be another distribution in December, there'll be two, two more distributions. So you're 00:07:43
you're appropriately inappropriate are the appropriate power at it still has about $225,000. So you think you'll be okay at year 00:07:48
end. 00:07:54
So your projections that you'll be in the in the red at your end, No, no, just right now we're at the line items are right now 00:08:00
should be a minimum of 80,000 to the good. Yeah, what we have already appropriated and what we have coming in, in this request we 00:08:06
should be around 80,000. 00:08:12
Can you tell us what the capital improvements are? 00:08:20
There's some projects there going on at the Weiss building right now that that will go from fall go from winter to to. 00:08:22
To next year. 00:08:32
Motion to approve to a. 00:08:37
Second motion a second for 2A. Any further discussion or questions? 00:08:38
All in favor say aye aye. Any opposed? 00:08:45
That carries 2B2B is a request out of the 99152 county general capital improvement 135 thousand O 92 and that is for an upcoming. 00:08:48
Contract for architect and engineering services. 00:09:04
Associated with the Ius and Lab space outer Gnome park. 00:09:07
Motion to approve. 00:09:17
2nd. 00:09:20
Have a motion and a second for to be any questions or discussion for them. 00:09:22
All in favor say aye. Any opposed? 00:09:28
That carries. Thank you. Have a good night. Don, can I have another question for you? I don't know if this is appropriate. If it's 00:09:31
not, let me know. ARPA monies, we have to have those committed by year end. Are we, are we on track to have all those dollars 00:09:38
committed and where are we going to commit those two? 00:09:44
Commissioners are having discussions about that. They've been having discussions for about about a month now. 00:09:51
They haven't given me an indication. 00:09:58
What their final decision is going to be, But as you said, it all has to be obligated by December 31st of this year and spent by 00:10:01
December 31st of 2026. 00:10:06
So they, they're very aware of that schedule and I would anticipate that myself or Nick or someone will be here in December to 00:10:12
obligate the remainder. I, I would like to put that on the agenda for Friday so that we can at least start to understand we can so 00:10:18
we don't get to the last minute and then. 00:10:24
Not agree with something that's going on that with the spectrum. 00:10:31
Initiative that happened just this past week. 00:10:37
I know there was some money set aside for Internet on there. Is that still something that we need to keep in? That's still being 00:10:41
discussed by the commissioners how the process will need to take place as they need to place that into their implementation plan. 00:10:49
So which that would more than likely either happen at their next meeting or by their December 4th meeting. 00:10:57
I would have to have those would have to happen. I'm going to make an assumption we'll go out and then that you'll probably have 00:11:06
more than one meeting in December. 00:11:09
Most traditionally, you do so either at your regular meeting in December or one of your you know. 00:11:13
Cleanup meeting, so to speak, in December that. 00:11:20
Someone will come here and ask for those additional preparations. There's a pretty large amount of monies that aren't, it's right 00:11:22
about $1.8 million I was thinking about. So I know that they're having discussions on infrastructure and broadband and. 00:11:29
Things like that, but they haven't come to a decision on what they're going to allocate them. 00:11:37
Is it appropriate to ask for that to be put on the agenda for Friday? 00:11:42
Yeah, I think it can be a good discussion. 00:11:47
That's all. Thanks. 00:11:51
Thanks for your information. 00:11:55
Michelle, Europe. 00:11:57
So I'm here on behalf of Leah Pesaroski and Open Door Youth Services. She received a very nice federal grant in the amount of 00:12:05
$160,000 to hire 3 part-time childcare supervisors. 00:12:14
So there's no benefits that go along with these positions? 00:12:25
She already sent an e-mail or we sent an e-mail. 00:12:29
To the Job Classification and Compensation Committee and because they were all federal funds that was agreed to. So now it's 00:12:35
before the full council to agree to those three positions. Motion to approve the three positions for the Open Door Youth Services 00:12:41
2nd. 00:12:47
Have a motion a second. Any further discussion as always. Is this grant going to be renewable? 00:12:54
I do not know the answer to that. I guess my question is these positions go away if the grant don't happen again next year or the 00:13:02
year after. Well, you know, there's a couple of things in play. They have to have the children that support the need and then they 00:13:07
also have to have the grant money. 00:13:13
So it's it's a balancing act. 00:13:18
And she's really good about writing for grants. 00:13:24
Any further questions? 00:13:29
All in favor of three a say aye aye. Any opposed? 00:13:31
That carries. Thank you. 00:13:35
This is Tommy. 00:13:39
Good evening. 00:13:43
Good evening. 00:13:44
4A's a request for additional appropriations to. 00:13:46
Fulfill some council obligations. 00:13:50
Through the remainder of the year. 00:13:54
Can you be more specific? 00:14:00
Believe that it was Baker Tilly Baker Tilly and that would have been included in the supporting documents. 00:14:02
Motion to report. 00:14:09
Second motion a second for for a. Any further questions? 00:14:11
All in favor say aye aye. Any opposed? 00:14:17
Cherries. 00:14:20
4B is for an additional appropriation in the opioid unrestricted fund, which the commissioners. 00:14:22
Created a computer oversight committee for that. Oversight committee did take in requests for equipment purchases that are 00:14:30
specifically geared towards fighting the opioid epidemic in this area. Commissioners did approve the list of equipment that was 00:14:38
requested by the different law enforcement agencies in the area, so this is just an appropriation to fulfill that regard. 00:14:46
Is that was that supporting documents? 00:14:53
List motion to approve be. 00:14:58
So we just trust the commissioners here that they did the right thing. 00:15:04
I'm sure they will provide it for you myself. Sure. I mean when I see missile lightning is $320,000 that's a lot for 00:15:07
miscellaneous. I didn't realize is this oh this is the unrestricted fund not restricted. This is the one that they put in 00:15:13
protective custody to be utilized. 00:15:19
Yeah, I kind of like support the influx. 00:15:26
Exactly. 00:15:31
I mean, that's three. Do you know, I'm not opposed to it. I just, you know. 00:15:34
If you would like the criminal element of our community to know the tools that will be utilizing to fight against them, I'm more 00:15:39
than happy to publicize that as a line title meant. 00:15:44
Is that what you stood up to say? Sure. 00:15:50
If that is your preference to title the purchases. 00:15:55
As opposed to tattling them as miscellaneous equipment, request that. 00:15:59
We can send you the list of equipment, we just can't. 00:16:05
Title this line by that. 00:16:09
I request that. 00:16:13
I'd be happy to provide it to you probably. 00:16:14
Private. 00:16:17
I think we have a motion. You have a motion, I'll second. OK, we have a motion and a second for four being any any further 00:16:21

All right, all in favor, Say aye, aye. Any opposed? 00:16:32

We talked about that meeting. 00:17:06

They just have some line transfers that are crossing categories. 00:17:26

4D and E. 2nd I have a motion and a second for 4D and E. 00:17:36
Questions or discussion? 00:17:44
All in favor say aye. 00:17:47
Any opposed? 00:17:49
That was carried. 00:17:51
We have an additional transfer for Superior Court 3 where we will again be just transferring. 00:17:53
And crossing category lines they would not utilize. My apology. Thank you. 00:17:58

PCA has the Monday schedule. 00:19:29
So Wednesday. 00:19:32
The day after change it or maybe later. Do you know what that date is? 00:19:34
So it's wealthy or? 00:19:46
12th. 00:19:54
Is that right? 00:19:57
Is November 12th is the Wednesday, so November 11th of course is. 00:20:04
Play. 00:20:11
Motion to approve meeting dates for 2025 by BIG. 00:20:15
So I guess I have a motion and a second for 2025 council meeting dates. Any further discussion? 00:20:20
All in favor say aye aye. 00:20:29
Any opposed? 00:20:31
Like carrots? 00:20:32
While on the subject of meeting dates, I would request that the Council begin discussions concerning a clean up meeting for the 00:20:34
end of December calendar if needed. 00:20:39
We can look now if everybody's OK with that. 00:20:46
So advertise. 00:20:58
Do we want to do it late, like the 30th? 00:21:07
Monday 30th. 00:21:14
Yep, check everything else. 00:21:23
Don't you have to have time to go in the system and do the work? 00:21:29
Yes, but we work all day, the 30th and the 31st. 00:21:34
And there won't be much. 00:21:38
Last year, Gloria. 00:21:43
And I do. 00:21:45
Excellent job creating November and December department stay on top of their. 00:21:49
OK, cool. 00:21:54
We just started auditing them today actually. 00:21:57
You'll see a lot of data in the first meeting of December. 00:22:02
Right now, if I find that it's not so. 00:22:13
Pencil in for 6:00 PM and then. 00:22:17
We have to. 00:22:19
Can you send out an invite for that out as well please? 00:22:22
All right, any committee reports? 00:22:36
I have one. I met, we met with the. 00:22:40
Well, last meeting, but then we got one more meeting for the Legacy Foundation. 00:22:44
I would like to commend. 00:22:48
Legacy Board. 00:22:51
Members past and present for the good work that they've done. 00:22:54
We started in 2020 or $14,700,000 that's original investment. 00:22:59
We've given out 2,000,100 and $100 one note 2,100,000. 00:23:07
$221.00 including 500,000 this year to EMS. 00:23:13
And we have a value right now, 15 million, 492 in the legacy. And so as I stated in public, I won't state, I commend the board 00:23:19
members of the Legacy Foundation past and present for #1 setting a good investment strategy and #2 keeping the. 00:23:28
The spin rate low at 3% and then even coming in under the spin rate. So I commend the boards like I say past and present. 00:23:40
So it's growing pretty good even though we've had over $2,000,000 dispersion. 00:23:51
Thank you. Tony, do you have anything? No, Denise. 00:23:59
Yeah, not for that, but I was just just reminding me. 00:24:03
Last year we had a issue with our. 00:24:08
Nomination for the building authority. We found out they met in January before we even have our. 00:24:11
Appointments. Do we? Can we add that to the December agenda? 00:24:17
Right. 00:24:22
We'll we'll put on the agenda for and if. 00:24:27
If anyone has recommendations for anybody that. 00:24:33
Wants to serve or whatever. Just e-mail those in. 00:24:35
Umm, beforehand so we can. 00:24:38
Right. 00:24:43
You have somebody maybe add their contact information so if any council members want to give them a call. 00:24:47
Speak with him first. 00:24:52
Anything else? Jim, Connie. 00:24:56
I just want to put everybody. 00:24:58
Let everybody know next month. 00:25:00
Will be coming to the council for the appropriations for the grant money from the J Rack. They have been notified. We had six top 00:25:05
winners. 00:25:10
And it came in just under what we approved for the grant award money, so. 00:25:16
Kind of exciting, we'll have a little get together that's in the works to present those checks, but that will be coming next month 00:25:23
to appropriate that those funds. 00:25:28
The only update I really have is. 00:25:36
Still working with the road department, we've. 00:25:42
Gotten some attorneys working on cleaning up language. 00:25:44
Doing that attorney thing and besides that we're. 00:25:49
Most of it is down to. 00:25:53
The financial part? 00:25:56
Is the health department, is the health insurance, How's that? That's off the table. 00:25:59
OK, so we're we're just down to. 00:26:04
The basic increase at this point, and I think most other things are. 00:26:09
Will be cleaned up with language. 00:26:17
But we should have that for. 00:26:20
The next next meeting for consideration. So as soon as I get get that I'll send out. 00:26:23
Details on that. 00:26:29
But that's all I have, so any. 00:26:33
Anybody from the public? 00:26:35
I guess I'm public. Steve O Sheriff will allow it, Yes. So two things. The first one is a lot of good things happen with Jay Rack 00:26:41
and a lot of a lot of folks involved in that parting it up and collaborating and doing a lot of good stuff. Almost specifically 00:26:47
thank Connie for her work with the grants that she just did. She took a lot on. 00:26:52
With that and her and the board that that was selected to helper, but specifically you, you did a really good job and I want to 00:26:58
thank you publicly because you know why you doing that That's going to help these organizations help the people in the community 00:27:05
as we battle the mentalist and addiction as we keep moving forward in our society and what's going on in our community locally. So 00:27:11
thank you for that. The other thing is, remember I came back with several months ago about the server room. 00:27:17
Pipes over that. So we finally are able to move forward a little bit with that. So we're getting some quotes. 00:27:24
Steve Brooks, County Treasurer Today is last state for taxes if you didn't get him in. 00:28:00
It cost you 5% more and then 29 days 10% more. So I'll check your records and make sure have a great day. 00:28:04
Anybody else? 00:28:13
I'll entertain a motion to adjourn. So moved. 00:28:15
We are. 00:28:18

County Council, hopefully any council meeting. Please stand for the Pledge of Allegiance. 00:00:02
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and. 00:00:06
To the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. 00:00:11
The records show that we have six of seven present and I believe we have one on teams meeting. 00:00:24
Yeah, OK. 00:00:31
I just received a message he's not going to make it. 00:00:33
OK, All right, so. 00:00:36
We do have quorum tonight. 00:00:40
Mr. Tran, would you lead us in prayer, please? 00:00:44
Bow your heads in prayer with me, please. Dear Heavenly Father, we give you thanks and praise for your mighty works. 00:00:47
You're loving, you're you're good, you're gracious. 00:00:56
And you're faithful, and we thank you for all that you've done for us. We thank you for this county. We thank you for our elected 00:00:59
officials, our businesses, our churches, our families, those who keep us safe, and the individuals that make our community the 00:01:06
great place that as it is. 00:01:13
I pray for our world, and I lift up those less fortunate and those who are suffering, and I ask that you would bring peace, 00:01:21
comfort, and stability as only you can do. And as we enter the season labeled as Thanksgiving, we realize that every day is a day 00:01:27
of Thanksgiving because Your love, Your grace, and Your mercy is with us at all times. And for the little things that we take for 00:01:34
granted, we say thank you. 00:01:41
I pray for this Council meeting tonight. We ask that you would give us the wisdom. 00:01:49
And the guidance as we deliberate the items that are on the agenda and that we may we make every decision. 00:01:53
That would be for our benefit and for your glory. In Jesus name we pray. Amen. 00:02:04
All right. Has everybody had a chance to look over the agenda for tonight? 00:02:14
Second motion is second to accept the agenda. Any discussion. 00:02:21
All in favor say aye. Any opposed? 00:02:26
That carries October 16th council meeting minutes. 00:02:30
And budget adoption minutes. 00:02:36
I would accept Council meeting minutes 1016 and budget options 10/16. 00:02:40
I'll second that we have a motion and a second for both meetings on October 16th. Any discussion? 00:02:48
All in favor say aye. Any opposed that carries? 00:02:55
Is there anyone from the public that would like to speak tonight before we get started? 00:03:00
All right, seeing none, we'll jump into Mr. Matt Lords. 00:03:06
I would like to quote that be amended to 1000 instead of 2. 00:03:12
I think we. 00:03:20
Expected to get a little more grant money than we actually did so alone in that required match. 00:03:23
The Avenue clothings on. 00:03:30
Item B. I'm happy to enter any of those. 00:03:33
So you're requesting 1000 in item A instead of 2000. 00:03:38
I'll make a motion to approve 1A at $1000. Second motion a second for one A. Any discussion or questions for Mr. Lorge? 00:03:43
All in favor say aye aye. Any opposed? 00:03:55
That carries. 00:03:58
B to B, we had a very busy year. 00:04:02
Normal. So we've had some related expensive connected to that. 00:04:10
We came to make it as well, so in other words, we got 100,000 over what we were budgeted for this year. 00:04:22
I'll make a motion to approve 1B. 00:04:38
We have a motion and a second for 1B. 00:04:41
Questions or discussions? The public Defender. 00:04:45
So that you get a more like where we approved our. 00:04:51
Rachel make out to fill up finish out some years I won't be spelled. 00:04:57
A lot of those are appealed. We have to contract those out on an hourly basis. So we've had a rise in the number of termination of 00:05:02
plan or life cases and also with the number of jury trials we've had that resulted in a lot more than normal in terms of turning a 00:05:08
pallet for you. 00:05:15
So the appeals. 00:05:23
Contracted out to a different attorney. 00:05:24
We it's a lot harder to do it in house because of the multiple Co defendants that get tried and that rules out a lot of people on 00:05:28
a given case. So it's just easier to basically do that out on an hourly basis. 00:05:35
And we have probably about 1/2 a dozen people who use on a regular basis for that. 00:05:44
This is probably not the appropriate time, but. 00:05:51
I thought about it. Do you is there any tracking mechanism for the hours that serves the public defender? 00:05:53
What's the name? I bought a normal contractual. 00:05:59
Yeah, this one, I think we're paying what, 7 year, 580 thousand, Yeah, 7474 a year. Is there any tracking mechanism of actual how 00:06:04
many hours that they actually put in per year? 00:06:11
So that's how we comply with the Commission standard for the economy. 00:06:22
OK. So the Commission doesn't factor in how much or how little time they might work on any given K. They could care about the 00:06:29
number of kids that you've given to value. 00:06:34
OK, Any further discussions? 00:06:43
Right, we have a motion in a second for 1B. All in favor say aye aye. Any opposed? 00:06:48
Thank you. Thank you. 00:06:55
Mr. 00:06:56
Good evening, Don Loft, Director, Operations. First is a request for additional appropriation edit. 00:07:07
For capital improvements of 25,000, utilities of 40,000, maintenance of 40,000 and telephone for 40,000 total being $145,000. This 00:07:13
is basically just a cover year in expenses. I don't expect the. 00:07:20
These to actually be all spent and they'll just revert back into the. 00:07:28
Cash on hand at the end of the year. 00:07:34
But it would we're we are actually in the red right now on utilities. 00:07:35
There'll be another distribution, there'll be another distribution in December, there'll be two, two more distributions. So you're 00:07:43
you're appropriately inappropriate are the appropriate power at it still has about $225,000. So you think you'll be okay at year 00:07:48
end. 00:07:54
So your projections that you'll be in the in the red at your end, No, no, just right now we're at the line items are right now 00:08:00
should be a minimum of 80,000 to the good. Yeah, what we have already appropriated and what we have coming in, in this request we 00:08:06
should be around 80,000. 00:08:12
Can you tell us what the capital improvements are? 00:08:20
There's some projects there going on at the Weiss building right now that that will go from fall go from winter to to. 00:08:22
To next year. 00:08:32
Motion to approve to a. 00:08:37
Second motion a second for 2A. Any further discussion or questions? 00:08:38
All in favor say aye aye. Any opposed? 00:08:45
That carries 2B2B is a request out of the 99152 county general capital improvement 135 thousand O 92 and that is for an upcoming. 00:08:48
Contract for architect and engineering services. 00:09:04
Associated with the Ius and Lab space outer Gnome park. 00:09:07
Motion to approve. 00:09:17
2nd. 00:09:20
Have a motion and a second for to be any questions or discussion for them. 00:09:22
All in favor say aye. Any opposed? 00:09:28
That carries. Thank you. Have a good night. Don, can I have another question for you? I don't know if this is appropriate. If it's 00:09:31
not, let me know. ARPA monies, we have to have those committed by year end. Are we, are we on track to have all those dollars 00:09:38
committed and where are we going to commit those two? 00:09:44
Commissioners are having discussions about that. They've been having discussions for about about a month now. 00:09:51
They haven't given me an indication. 00:09:58
What their final decision is going to be, But as you said, it all has to be obligated by December 31st of this year and spent by 00:10:01
December 31st of 2026. 00:10:06
So they, they're very aware of that schedule and I would anticipate that myself or Nick or someone will be here in December to 00:10:12
obligate the remainder. I, I would like to put that on the agenda for Friday so that we can at least start to understand we can so 00:10:18
we don't get to the last minute and then. 00:10:24
Not agree with something that's going on that with the spectrum. 00:10:31
Initiative that happened just this past week. 00:10:37
I know there was some money set aside for Internet on there. Is that still something that we need to keep in? That's still being 00:10:41
discussed by the commissioners how the process will need to take place as they need to place that into their implementation plan. 00:10:49
So which that would more than likely either happen at their next meeting or by their December 4th meeting. 00:10:57
I would have to have those would have to happen. I'm going to make an assumption we'll go out and then that you'll probably have 00:11:06
more than one meeting in December. 00:11:09
Most traditionally, you do so either at your regular meeting in December or one of your you know. 00:11:13
Cleanup meeting, so to speak, in December that. 00:11:20
Someone will come here and ask for those additional preparations. There's a pretty large amount of monies that aren't, it's right 00:11:22
about $1.8 million I was thinking about. So I know that they're having discussions on infrastructure and broadband and. 00:11:29
Things like that, but they haven't come to a decision on what they're going to allocate them. 00:11:37
Is it appropriate to ask for that to be put on the agenda for Friday? 00:11:42
Yeah, I think it can be a good discussion. 00:11:47
That's all. Thanks. 00:11:51
Thanks for your information. 00:11:55
Michelle, Europe. 00:11:57
So I'm here on behalf of Leah Pesaroski and Open Door Youth Services. She received a very nice federal grant in the amount of 00:12:05
$160,000 to hire 3 part-time childcare supervisors. 00:12:14
So there's no benefits that go along with these positions? 00:12:25
She already sent an e-mail or we sent an e-mail. 00:12:29
To the Job Classification and Compensation Committee and because they were all federal funds that was agreed to. So now it's 00:12:35
before the full council to agree to those three positions. Motion to approve the three positions for the Open Door Youth Services 00:12:41
2nd. 00:12:47
Have a motion a second. Any further discussion as always. Is this grant going to be renewable? 00:12:54
I do not know the answer to that. I guess my question is these positions go away if the grant don't happen again next year or the 00:13:02
year after. Well, you know, there's a couple of things in play. They have to have the children that support the need and then they 00:13:07
also have to have the grant money. 00:13:13
So it's it's a balancing act. 00:13:18
And she's really good about writing for grants. 00:13:24
Any further questions? 00:13:29
All in favor of three a say aye aye. Any opposed? 00:13:31
That carries. Thank you. 00:13:35
This is Tommy. 00:13:39
Good evening. 00:13:43
Good evening. 00:13:44
4A's a request for additional appropriations to. 00:13:46
Fulfill some council obligations. 00:13:50
Through the remainder of the year. 00:13:54
Can you be more specific? 00:14:00
Believe that it was Baker Tilly Baker Tilly and that would have been included in the supporting documents. 00:14:02
Motion to report. 00:14:09
Second motion a second for for a. Any further questions? 00:14:11
All in favor say aye aye. Any opposed? 00:14:17
Cherries. 00:14:20
4B is for an additional appropriation in the opioid unrestricted fund, which the commissioners. 00:14:22
Created a computer oversight committee for that. Oversight committee did take in requests for equipment purchases that are 00:14:30
specifically geared towards fighting the opioid epidemic in this area. Commissioners did approve the list of equipment that was 00:14:38
requested by the different law enforcement agencies in the area, so this is just an appropriation to fulfill that regard. 00:14:46
Is that was that supporting documents? 00:14:53
List motion to approve be. 00:14:58
So we just trust the commissioners here that they did the right thing. 00:15:04
I'm sure they will provide it for you myself. Sure. I mean when I see missile lightning is $320,000 that's a lot for 00:15:07
miscellaneous. I didn't realize is this oh this is the unrestricted fund not restricted. This is the one that they put in 00:15:13
protective custody to be utilized. 00:15:19
Yeah, I kind of like support the influx. 00:15:26
Exactly. 00:15:31
I mean, that's three. Do you know, I'm not opposed to it. I just, you know. 00:15:34
If you would like the criminal element of our community to know the tools that will be utilizing to fight against them, I'm more 00:15:39
than happy to publicize that as a line title meant. 00:15:44
Is that what you stood up to say? Sure. 00:15:50
If that is your preference to title the purchases. 00:15:55
As opposed to tattling them as miscellaneous equipment, request that. 00:15:59
We can send you the list of equipment, we just can't. 00:16:05
Title this line by that. 00:16:09
I request that. 00:16:13
I'd be happy to provide it to you probably. 00:16:14
Private. 00:16:17
I think we have a motion. You have a motion, I'll second. OK, we have a motion and a second for four being any any further 00:16:21

Questions or discussion? 00:17:44
All in favor say aye. 00:17:47
Any opposed? 00:17:49
That was carried. 00:17:51
We have an additional transfer for Superior Court 3 where we will again be just transferring. 00:17:53
And crossing category lines they would not utilize. My apology. Thank you. 00:17:58

The day after change it or maybe later. Do you know what that date is? 00:19:34
So it's wealthy or? 00:19:46
12th. 00:19:54
Is that right? 00:19:57

Play. 00:20:11
Motion to approve meeting dates for 2025 by BIG. 00:20:15
So I guess I have a motion and a second for 2025 council meeting dates. Any further discussion? 00:20:20
All in favor say aye aye. 00:20:29
Any opposed? 00:20:31
Like carrots? 00:20:32
While on the subject of meeting dates, I would request that the Council begin discussions concerning a clean up meeting for the 00:20:34
end of December calendar if needed. 00:20:39
We can look now if everybody's OK with that. 00:20:46
So advertise. 00:20:58
Do we want to do it late, like the 30th? 00:21:07
Monday 30th. 00:21:14
Yep, check everything else. 00:21:23
Don't you have to have time to go in the system and do the work? 00:21:29
Yes, but we work all day, the 30th and the 31st. 00:21:34
And there won't be much. 00:21:38
Last year, Gloria. 00:21:43
And I do. 00:21:45
Excellent job creating November and December department stay on top of their. 00:21:49
OK, cool. 00:21:54
We just started auditing them today actually. 00:21:57
You'll see a lot of data in the first meeting of December. 00:22:02
Right now, if I find that it's not so. 00:22:13
Pencil in for 6:00 PM and then. 00:22:17
We have to. 00:22:19
Can you send out an invite for that out as well please? 00:22:22
All right, any committee reports? 00:22:36
I have one. I met, we met with the. 00:22:40
Well, last meeting, but then we got one more meeting for the Legacy Foundation. 00:22:44
I would like to commend. 00:22:48
Legacy Board. 00:22:51
Members past and present for the good work that they've done. 00:22:54
We started in 2020 or $14,700,000 that's original investment. 00:22:59
We've given out 2,000,100 and $100 one note 2,100,000. 00:23:07
$221.00 including 500,000 this year to EMS. 00:23:13
And we have a value right now, 15 million, 492 in the legacy. And so as I stated in public, I won't state, I commend the board 00:23:19
members of the Legacy Foundation past and present for #1 setting a good investment strategy and #2 keeping the. 00:23:28
The spin rate low at 3% and then even coming in under the spin rate. So I commend the boards like I say past and present. 00:23:40
So it's growing pretty good even though we've had over $2,000,000 dispersion. 00:23:51
Thank you. Tony, do you have anything? No, Denise. 00:23:59
Yeah, not for that, but I was just just reminding me. 00:24:03
Last year we had a issue with our. 00:24:08
Nomination for the building authority. We found out they met in January before we even have our. 00:24:11
Appointments. Do we? Can we add that to the December agenda? 00:24:17
Right. 00:24:22
We'll we'll put on the agenda for and if. 00:24:27
If anyone has recommendations for anybody that. 00:24:33
Wants to serve or whatever. Just e-mail those in. 00:24:35
Umm, beforehand so we can. 00:24:38
Right. 00:24:43
You have somebody maybe add their contact information so if any council members want to give them a call. 00:24:47
Speak with him first. 00:24:52
Anything else? Jim, Connie. 00:24:56
I just want to put everybody. 00:24:58
Let everybody know next month. 00:25:00
Will be coming to the council for the appropriations for the grant money from the J Rack. They have been notified. We had six top 00:25:05
winners. 00:25:10
And it came in just under what we approved for the grant award money, so. 00:25:16
Kind of exciting, we'll have a little get together that's in the works to present those checks, but that will be coming next month 00:25:23
to appropriate that those funds. 00:25:28
The only update I really have is. 00:25:36
Still working with the road department, we've. 00:25:42
Gotten some attorneys working on cleaning up language. 00:25:44
Doing that attorney thing and besides that we're. 00:25:49
Most of it is down to. 00:25:53
The financial part? 00:25:56
Is the health department, is the health insurance, How's that? That's off the table. 00:25:59
OK, so we're we're just down to. 00:26:04
The basic increase at this point, and I think most other things are. 00:26:09
Will be cleaned up with language. 00:26:17
But we should have that for. 00:26:20
The next next meeting for consideration. So as soon as I get get that I'll send out. 00:26:23
Details on that. 00:26:29
But that's all I have, so any. 00:26:33
Anybody from the public? 00:26:35
I guess I'm public. Steve O Sheriff will allow it, Yes. So two things. The first one is a lot of good things happen with Jay Rack 00:26:41
and a lot of a lot of folks involved in that parting it up and collaborating and doing a lot of good stuff. Almost specifically 00:26:47
thank Connie for her work with the grants that she just did. She took a lot on. 00:26:52
With that and her and the board that that was selected to helper, but specifically you, you did a really good job and I want to 00:26:58
thank you publicly because you know why you doing that That's going to help these organizations help the people in the community 00:27:05
as we battle the mentalist and addiction as we keep moving forward in our society and what's going on in our community locally. So 00:27:11
thank you for that. The other thing is, remember I came back with several months ago about the server room. 00:27:17
Pipes over that. So we finally are able to move forward a little bit with that. So we're getting some quotes. 00:27:24
Steve Brooks, County Treasurer Today is last state for taxes if you didn't get him in. 00:28:00
It cost you 5% more and then 29 days 10% more. So I'll check your records and make sure have a great day. 00:28:04
Anybody else? 00:28:13
I'll entertain a motion to adjourn. So moved. 00:28:15
We are. 00:28:18
