So moved second motion a second for the agenda as advertised. All in favor say aye aye. Any opposed that carries approval of 00:02:29
minutes from December 30th, 2024 clean up meeting. 00:02:36
So move. 00:02:43
Second motion is second for December 30th meeting minutes All in favor say aye aye. Any opposed that carries? Is there anyone from 00:02:46
the public that would like to speak before we get started tonight? 00:02:51
Seeing none, we will get started with new business. 00:02:59
Miss Lois. 00:03:03
Good thing and welcome new members. 00:03:07
Looking forward to a Goodyear Lois Interests County Recorder and I'm here to request a temporary person part time that will be 00:03:10
funded through my perpetuation fund. 00:03:16
Move to approve one a second we have a motion, a second for one a. Any questions for Lois or discussion? 00:03:24
Seeing none all in favor say aye. Any opposed? 00:03:35
That carries. Thank you. Thank you. 00:03:39
Kelly. 00:03:43
Good evening. Good evening, Sir. Chief Probation Officer of Floyd County. I'm here for appropriations for two of our grants. The 00:03:45
first one is our DOC grant, which is our two flip officers. 00:03:51
That is a for 131,150. 00:03:57
Motion to approve 2A. 00:04:02
So I got a motion and a second for 2A. Any discussion or questions for Kelly? 00:04:06
All in favor say aye aye. Any opposed? 00:04:14
That carries. 00:04:17
And then B is additional appropriation for our opioid restricted fund and this is for our juvenile liaison. 00:04:18
Move to approve 2B. 00:04:27
2nd we have a motion in a second for two. 00:04:29
Any questions or discussion? 00:04:34
Describe what this position does again. So this position is located in our juvenile probation department. She is getting contacts 00:04:37
from the school of those children who are missing school. So it's an attendance liaison. So what she's doing is making contact 00:04:43
with that, that child, their family to try to get them to come to school before they get the referral in a juvenile probation, 00:04:49
before they become truancy. 00:04:55
OK. 00:05:02
And this was approved by the J Rock Committee to use these opioid funds to. 00:05:05
To fund that position, I think for it's a two year, 2 years, we hired and began the position in late October or late September, 00:05:15
early October. So it'll run through at least September, October of 26. And we had a J Rack committee this past week and I think 00:05:23
they said she's already been successful at getting five kids back in school. 00:05:31
On a regular basis. Maybe it was 8. Was it 5 or 8? I don't want to quote they. 00:05:40
Having good results. 00:05:47
It's been successful already. 00:05:49
Any other questions? 00:05:53
All in favor of 2B say aye aye. Any opposed carries? Thank you, thank you. 00:05:55
Sheriff. 00:06:00
Good evening, congratulations to Sam and Matt and Delphia wins back on Dale back on the council and Sam and Matt who's not here 00:06:03
for their new journey. So looking forward to working with you through and the rest of the board. I have 3 items on there. The 00:06:09
first one is an ideal C grant such appropriation for this is our. 00:06:15
Transversal coordinators positioned through our change while Carter team, it's funded by brands. It will end in June, just so you 00:06:22
know. So we're working on avenues to fund that. 00:06:26
To continue that position. So it's been very fruitful in terms of our team and what we do with that position. 00:06:30
Motion to approve 3A as advertised. 00:06:37
2nd, I have a motion in a second for 3A. Any questions for the sheriff? 00:06:40
All in favor say aye. Any opposed? 00:06:47
That carries. Thank you. The next one is through our opiate unrestricted fund. This was appropriated last year, so this is a non 00:06:50
reverting fund. We have to come back again this year to ask for that. Basically it's miscellaneous equipment. It there's a lot of 00:06:55
equipment within this item. You see the the amount 246,000 plus a lot of it surveillance equipment. I didn't want to go in too 00:07:00
much detail last time. 00:07:05
Basis surveillance equipment, which includes, as an example, cameras, cars. 00:07:10
Computer programming, that's the name of three, but I don't want to go in too much detail for police investigative. I thought we 00:07:17
appropriated this. 00:07:20
Pardon me, you failed to encumber it. So we're having to reappropriate. So basically just for Sam's purpose, not the rest of the 00:07:27
board necessarily. The commissioners approved the ordinance to allow us to have the unrestricted funds to open settlement. There's 00:07:32
a board make up of myself. 00:07:36
Prosecutor, which is Chris Lane dying, topping through the auditor's office and a commissioner, which is was Jason Sharp. I'm I 00:07:43
don't know if he'll be back on it this year, but we bring requests to them. Initially, myself and Chris Lane went to each agency, 00:07:48
the state police, Greenville, Georgetown. 00:07:53
And do all me please and gather a list and that's why I see the large amount initially using the opiate funds for drug 00:07:58
investigation basically. 00:08:03
Motion to approve 3B. 00:08:08
As Fabric has. 00:08:10
Thanks. 00:08:13
Second motion in a second for three B. Oh, but so to be clear. 00:08:14
Sorry though, you should have asked for discussion. Go ahead. To be clear, had you been here on the last meeting the year, you 00:08:21
would have encumbered this and then we wouldn't be dealing with this. It's not like a double item. 00:08:27
Yeah, we did approve this last year, just didn't get paid out. 00:08:34
The only reason we didn't encumbers, we didn't have obligated funds at that moment, our invoices in hand to consider to be an 00:08:37
encumbrance which would have levy to create balance against the funds in 2024. So we felt it was the most appropriate thing and 00:08:45
most transparent thing to bring it back to the council again to be reviewed. 00:08:53
Any further discussion or questions? 00:09:02
All in favor of 3B say aye aye. Any opposed? 00:09:05
That carries. Thank you. See. And the last item under C is a request to move forward with water pipe project. I'll explain that 00:09:09
just real quick. 00:09:13
Sam did come by the office and review it himself. 00:09:19
Is we had an issues with our server with water pipes over the server and so we need to get that corrected. You all approved up to 00:09:23
50,000 last year. Sometime there was some change over the building authority, so the project got kind of pushed back a little bit. 00:09:29
So we're at the point now that I don't have the invoice from I believe we spent around 22,000 I think. 00:09:36
25 and we're ready to move forward with that. So all I'm requesting tonight is because it has to be advertised and we didn't get 00:09:43
it done on time. Once we got the invoice as of February, we'll get that advertised properly. We just ask permission to continue to 00:09:49
move forward with that project and what will happen is once this is approved. 00:09:54
And then what we'll do is RFP that out, that project out and then they'll let us know how much that's going to cost. And then I'll 00:10:01
have to come back again. As you remember worship being paid from where do we agree to? 00:10:06
Do you remember? 00:10:11
County General. 00:10:13
County. 00:10:14
Where? Out of what? 00:10:17
County General. I got that part. 00:10:19
Yeah. Is that a county general was a specific line 3014 in the old line at? 00:10:21
OK, it was a. 00:10:27
1003 Thousand 1.50.0005 So was that a county general fund? 00:10:30
In the Sheriff's Department? Yes, ma'am. 00:10:38
OK. 00:10:40
I'm motion to approve 3C as advertised. 00:10:43
Second motion in a second for 3C, any further discussion? So the invoice in hand is that for the engineering that we talked about. 00:10:47
So that's the invoice in hand for the engineering to look at the project. We don't believe it will be as expensive as we talked 00:10:52
about last year. 00:10:57
I think it'd be fairly cheaper. 00:11:03
When we so they haven't performed any engineering work yet, they just looked at it. 00:11:06
We've been working closely with the building authority in terms of this project so. 00:11:12
Sorry Donnie, with the new Audi Floyd County Building Authority. So the engineering, the plans will be back the end of February. 00:11:19
17th So we'll have two options for the Sheriff's Department to go over the best way to move those pipes. 00:11:26
Is that what cost $22,000? Yes, just to get those two options? Yes, Sir. 00:11:33
Drawings used to run between 2025 so. 00:11:39
They're right in the middle and it meets the scope of work. We're going to try two options to find out the best way to do it, and 00:11:43
spend less if we can, but still do it the right way. 00:11:47
Any other questions? I think Sam can go in and look at it. 00:11:55
But I just, I'm just questioning. I don't wanna be. I'll decide how to do it. 00:12:00
I don't want to be argumenting, but we spent $22,000 and all they did is come and look they they don't have any, any specs or 00:12:06
that's what they're working on. 00:12:10
That's what the money is going to work. That's the bill. 00:12:16
Because I'm gonna be a consultant if that's if that's the case. But let's tell you need pie. You're the more welcome on the 00:12:22
committee and you've done decks before that occurred and so. 00:12:25
Any further discussion? Yeah, I mean, I voiced this before that I feel the project the county has needs to pick up that tab. I 00:12:31
just suggested to see if the Sheriff's Office could pick up this part of it for the from the commissary funds because we know how 00:12:37
much is available in there. So I I just feel that's something we should do. I would really like to see this table this and let 00:12:43
some of the new council and look at the next report we get for the next 6 month report and really see how much what's being spent 00:12:49
out of that fund. But I'm not. 00:12:55
Opposed, you know to the capital project itself. Yeah, I think the county is going to pick that up. Well, just for the course of 00:13:01
the record tonight you're approving to allow us to continue to move forward and as far as payment wise, it'll be on the February 00:13:06
agenda for the appropriation of the money. So you know to John's point, you can bring up the discussion if you like and but you're 00:13:12
just asking to go forward. We're just looking for. 00:13:18
Forward movement tonight, would you agree to just at least look at paying some part of that out of the commissary? 00:13:25
We can see if it fits under the statute and if we there's even monies in there for that. You know you all. We also have some 00:13:33
projects coming up when you want to move out of that room that we are covering some costs there without coming to you all. So we 00:13:39
are doing things with the commissary to Jim's point of trying to limit us coming to you all on other avenues and other things that 00:13:45
we are doing. So just so you know, it's nice to know. Yes, yeah. 00:13:50
OK, we'll take a look at it. 00:13:58
Anyone else? 00:14:00
All in favor of three C say aye, aye opposed. 00:14:03
Thank you very much. 00:14:07
Mr. Nick Creeby. 00:14:10
Good evening. Good evening. 00:14:16
Director of Building and Development. That is not my title. 00:14:18
So a is a request for additional appropriation. 00:14:23
For Motor Vehicle Highway Fund for contractual services 275,000, it's related to 2 grant funded projects that we're coming out of 00:14:27
ARP money at the end of the year. 00:14:34
Yeah. Where, where should I restart from the start? It's coming from grant money. It's coming from grant money. Those are 00:14:42
reimbursable. 00:14:46
Expenses, one of them is 8020 reimbursements, yeah, there's 1910. So much of that money will be returned to that flight. 00:14:50
The appropriation that you're asking for is more than the balance in the account. 00:15:02
Can you help me there? 00:15:09
I have sand here with me that is assisting with my. 00:15:11
So I think he may be about. I'm sorry, Denise, I didn't hear your question. The appropriation that you're asking for is more than 00:15:14
the balance in the account. 00:15:19
Help me out. 00:15:25
I'm sorry. 00:15:26
Is this one that hasn't received money yet? 00:15:29
It's the MVH restricted fund so. 00:15:33
Yeah, they, yeah, that's fine. 00:15:37
And as Mr. Peevey explained, a lot of this will actually be returned to the fund additionally, due to the way the grants are 00:15:43
working for these projects. So not only is this not the limit that this fund is going to have, it will continue to get 00:15:49
distributions. A lot of this money will also come back to it. So this is an acceptable process. 00:15:56
2nd, we have a motion and a second for for a. Is there any other questions for the committee? 00:16:04
I think I do have go ahead. 00:16:09
Sorry, I asked my questions. You said there's a couple projects. Can you tell us which projects? It's the Charlestown Trail Rd. 00:16:12
Trail project. It's the inspection services for that. The construction for that is 100% funded by INDOT. That's a $3,000,000 00:16:21
project. The other one is the Paoli Pike multimodal study that we received funding through KIFTA NPO for that planning study. 00:16:30
Thank you. 00:16:41
Any other discussion? 00:16:44
All in favor for a say aye aye. Any opposed? 00:16:46
That carries. 00:16:50
This is a request for additional appropriation to a new fund that was established after the budget submissions in 2024 for the 00:16:58
Chase Building professional services and capital improvements are the items included. 00:17:05
Total for that request is 370-6000. 00:17:14
100,000. 00:17:18
It's, it's actually just the 2025 budget that was not put into the budget hearing process. So we're setting a budget for 25 will 00:17:20
be expected to put a budget in through. 00:17:25
Years moving out. 00:17:31
So this isn't for one specific. 00:17:33
Project. This is for the whole year what you expect to spend on professional services out of the cube cap. Yes, development. 00:17:35
OK, motion to approve. 00:17:46
4B Second, we have a motion and a second for 4B. Any other questions or discussion? 00:17:47
All in favor say aye aye. Any opposed? 00:17:56
Carries. 00:17:59
We got it. It's OK. 00:18:03
Additional appropriation requests for motor vehicle highway. 00:18:07
This was a result of their budget not being included in the 1782 notice. 00:18:13
It is just. 00:18:20
Appropriate and unrestricted budget back to. 00:18:24
Yeah, yeah. 00:18:31
Yeah, this was just one. 00:18:32
Because it. 00:18:34
Y'all got combined. So this is the split for the 1176 The NBA fund or the county highway fund? I'm sorry. 00:18:35
Breaking it out so the budget set, so you put it all in one fund and now you're splitting it into two. 00:18:42
So do we need to unappropriate the other amounts? 00:18:51
I don't think so. I think it was only put in for half the budget. Somehow or another, this just disappeared in the budget hearing 00:18:55
process. 00:18:58
So. 00:19:02
So when the budgets were submitted, they were submitted under their separate coding and the DLGF overlook the separate coatings. 00:19:06
So they only approved on the 1782, the restricted the 1173 and then after speaking with our budget Rep and the DLGF, they're like 00:19:13
well, it's December 31st, please just go ahead and re appropriate what you approved for your budget at your first meeting and we 00:19:19
said OK. 00:19:26
So that's what this is. It's clean up from where they didn't realize that there were two separate funds because we coded them 00:19:33
correctly for the first time ever. 00:19:37
And they were all clocking out on the last day and we have a revenue stream to support. Absolutely, yeah, this is this is funded 00:19:41
and it was approved at budgets and it exists in our system. It just doesn't exist in the DLGS system right now. 00:19:48
Motion to approve 4C. 00:19:56
Second, you have a motion a second for 4C. Any other questions? 00:19:58
Or discussion points all in favor say aye aye. Any opposed? 00:20:02
That carries. 00:20:07
This one request for additional preparation for the Redevelopment authority the. 00:20:11
Debt service. 00:20:17
So. 00:20:19
This is a special district and per the State Board of Accounts guidance. 00:20:20
We were instructed to start submitting budgets to the Council for approval for this. 00:20:27
The redevelopment authority carries a bond for the infrastructure at the Nova Park. 00:20:32
That's all they do. So this is a new fund we will submit. 00:20:37
This as part of the regular budget project process in the future. 00:20:43
But it needs to be appropriate here. 00:20:47
Is it's a it's a one line budget, it's just the debt service is paid from that and SPOR made the recommendation not a finding, but 00:20:50
a recommendation that moving forward in 25 and out that. 00:20:55
The fund actually is. 00:21:02
Before the budget process. So obviously we did not hit the budget process. The next best step is to come for additional 00:21:05
appropriations. Why isn't the fund detailed in here, the fund of the line and all that like all the other? 00:21:12
Appropriations. 00:21:23
I was going to say, is it not part of our budgeting our. 00:21:25
It's a separate entity altogether, but we have to approve. 00:21:32
Yeah, and done. 00:21:36
Don explained it. I don't know that much about it, unfortunately some. 00:21:39
Where the redevelopment is coming a little bit more under the council umbrella as well as auditor reporting, my office never used 00:21:44
to have to do. 00:21:49
Reporting on our county development, but now we're going to have to include them in our annual financial report. 00:21:54
So this is just, it's almost becoming a hybrid. So this is something you oversee that is not technically fine. 00:22:00
I think even on the the AFR it's reported differently. It's very, it's brand new. 00:22:10
We just got to make sure it's broken out so it can be seen. 00:22:15
Yes, exactly that we're not asking reading other than just what the recommendation from state. 00:22:19
And the redevelopment? 00:22:25
Authority. The Redevelopment Commission, should I say. 00:22:27
Has looked at this and proved this or we I'm yeah I don't know how they fit into this home. Yes the development authority was 00:22:31
established. 00:22:36
Development Commission to hold this money and do this. So yes they they are. 00:22:40
And I think, Diana, maybe you can confirm, but I believe it was just reported in debt service in prior years, which is why SBO, it 00:22:47
hit the SBO. 00:22:51
Tension flag. So they wanted to be brought to the attention accounts for that. That's the best thing. That's correct. Best I can 00:22:56
do. 00:22:59
So brand new process, we're all figuring out this is what they requested that we do as far as documentation and stepwise. So we're 00:23:03
doing our best adhere to it. 00:23:07
So we should approve it. 00:23:13
Motion to approve 4D. 00:23:17
I don't know what. 00:23:19
Diana, because because I trust Diana and the second we've got a motion and 2nd for 4D, I guess Diana. 00:23:24
I stopping I guess going forward. 00:23:34
We will eventually know what the. 00:23:37
Funding source and stuff and stuff of this is. 00:23:39
Just the first seven and we'll break this out in the for the 26th budget as well. It'll be part of the budget process. 00:23:43
Gotcha. Any other questions? 00:23:52
All in favor of 4D say aye. Any opposed? I'm staying. I just don't understand this. I don't feel comfortable. 00:23:56
Who should understand? 00:24:06
That carries 4 E is interlocal agreement between Floyd County and Georgetown. 00:24:09
This is an addendum to a previous agreement. 00:24:15
What is the local? I think I read it. It's for building and development services. We do that for both Greenville and Georgetown, 00:24:19
but this is Georgetown. 00:24:24
New to the Earth amendment to that. 00:24:31
It has been vetted by. 00:24:34
Motion to approve for E. 00:24:36
2nd Interlocal agreement. 00:24:39
Motion a second for 4 E any other questions? Yeah, when I was reading through that. 00:24:42
The fees are still the same with counties charging them. It doesn't go up. 00:24:47
I didn't see that in the notes. I couldn't tell the notes I saw. 00:24:52
The previous agreements, so we had been charging them $20,000 a year for since 2018. The county increased its fees for our 00:24:59
permitting processes. So we the same percentage of increase increase the the contract or the request report. 00:25:08
Good, that's good. 00:25:18
Any further discussion on E? 00:25:20
All in favor say aye. Any opposed? 00:25:23
That carries. 00:25:27
Thank you. 00:25:30
Committee for that. 00:25:32
Michelle. 00:25:34
Hello everyone, Michelle Portwood, Human Resources. I hope you have the salary ordinance in front of you. The salary ordinance was 00:25:37
originally approved October 16th at budget time last year. So this salary ordinance only updates the new people who've been hired 00:25:47
and taking out the old people who've left. So we hope to have had the road department agreement finalized. 00:25:56
But that didn't happen so. 00:26:07
That's unfortunate. I have to say thank them for clearing our roads of snow. They did an outstanding job. But anyway, that's why I 00:26:10
have a new salary ordinance before you. So they're still making the same salary as last year, correct? 00:26:16
No increase at all. 00:26:23
Correct. 00:26:25
Danny, where's that stand? We are getting back to negotiations. 00:26:27
And. 00:26:34
Whenever the Teamsters are ready to meet again. 00:26:36
We'll we'll meet again and continue the discussion and. 00:26:41
Just like with any negotiations. 00:26:46
Retroactive. 00:26:48
The pay is a negotiation point. 00:26:50
Or it can start from the time of. 00:26:55
Contractors and contracts improve inside, yeah, so we're. 00:26:57
But to be clear, it's in the hands of the Teamsters right now. 00:27:03
Yes, well, it's. 00:27:08
They voted down the last offer, so we're. 00:27:11
We're getting back together to. 00:27:13
Discuss where we go from here. So right. 00:27:17
We're down to. 00:27:22
Mainly 1 issue. 00:27:25
So. 00:27:26
We'll hopefully get that resolved, which is the insurance. 00:27:29
Which is salary or pay? Oh, it's salary. OK yeah, insurance is off the table again. So hopefully that's settled sooner rather than 00:27:33
later and we can we can move on and. 00:27:39
I think we're. 00:27:47
Not too far apart so. 00:27:48
OK. 00:27:54
Motion to approve. 00:27:55
2nd, we have a motion a second for 5A. Any further discussion? 00:27:57
All in favor say aye. Any opposed? 00:28:02
That carries. Thank you. Thank you. 00:28:06
Recovering for Charlotte. 00:28:12
The health department just has two different line transfers that they would like to request. 00:28:16
Just some money movement that since of course budgets were adopted and. 00:28:23
October of last year, there's been some reevaluation on where to. 00:28:28
Actually have these funds at so they're just moving them now so that they don't have to move them later. 00:28:33
Motion to approve 6A and B. 00:28:39
As advertised, I'll second it. 00:28:43
Have a motion a second for 6A and B. Any questions or discussion? 00:28:45
All in favor say aye aye. Any opposed? 00:28:52
That carries. 00:28:55
7A And Gloria, correct me if I'm wrong, these additional appropriations are due to the fact that the budget submitted and approved 00:28:59
for some reason did not match the actual salary for the individual for these two lines. So we're just making up the difference 00:29:05
that was required to match those salaries that were actually approved. When she submitted her budgets, she didn't put her 2% 00:29:11
increase on there, which brings up a really good point. 00:29:17
That we have done a cross check between what's in the budget and what's in the salary ordinance. We have had that problem in the 00:29:24
past, but. 00:29:28
When we the past few years we've done, we've done really well. We're staying on top of it. Michelle does an excellent job keeping 00:29:32
up with our salary ordinance. She always asks for everyone to look over it. 00:29:37
Humanize. 00:29:43
Numbers, if you look at them long enough, I mean, you know this, Denise, they start to blur together. 00:29:45
So we do our best. We caught it at the first of the year realizing these appropriations didn't happen. Luckily it's out of the 00:29:49
1161, so it's something other than county funds, so. 00:29:55
Motion to approve 7A as advertised. 00:30:02
I have a motion and a second. Any further questions on 7/8? 00:30:06
All in favor say aye aye. Any opposed it carries. 00:30:12
County Council dues increase this year and we do need an additional appropriation of $35 to complete. 00:30:16
The AIC dues needed for the County Council move to approve 7B. We have a motion in a second for 7B. Any questions about the dues 00:30:22
increase? 00:30:27
All in favor say aye. Any opposed? 00:30:33
That carries. 00:30:37
Move to approve. 00:30:47
I'll second the motion in a second for. 00:30:52
The transfer ordinance. 00:30:55
Sam, if you don't know what that is just yet, that's. 00:31:00
An ordinance for all the transfers. 00:31:04
That we. 00:31:07
Yep, just approved. So they have to be in an ordinance now? 00:31:10
Any discussion on the ordinance? 00:31:14
All in favor say aye aye. Any opposed that carries? 00:31:16
I'm not sure if we have any committee reports, anybody from the council have anything? 00:31:21
We did. 00:31:27
Put out a meeting invite. Notice that we need to discuss for two weeks out for a workshop. 00:31:28
To discuss. 00:31:36
Moving funds that qualify for the public safety lit. 00:31:39
Did everybody get a chance to look at that meeting date? 00:31:46
Tom, when did that come out? Yesterday, I believe. 00:31:50
28th Sam, two weeks from tonight at six, OK. 00:31:55
Here SO. 00:32:01
And I understand Diana's working on a spreadsheet with suggestions on how to move things around. 00:32:03
Yes. 00:32:10
I just have to say I really want to understand how the money is going to be spent before we start moving things around. I'm not 00:32:14
willing just to move things out of the general. 00:32:20
Expenses out of the general account and into this new tax that we created without understanding how we're going to use the 00:32:29
additional funds and the general fund. 00:32:34
So or whatever other fund that we are moving funds in and out of Denise, I think that's what we call a workshop so we can get out 00:32:40
the white board and go to work. Perfect. 00:32:46
We'll discuss. Bring your ideas, everybody. Bring your ideas, bring it up. And that's what we're gonna do. Workshop on the 00:32:52
workshop on the yes, 20, whatever and no action take not at front, not this Friday. We're not doing that. 00:32:59
No, this is a difference between this. This is the work. This is 2 weeks from tonight. 00:33:07
Workshop. 00:33:11
And Dale's correct. No action taken. We can talk. 00:33:13
Consensus, but we we're not going to be voting on anything until we're. 00:33:18
In a regular meeting. So is everybody OK with that, that date? How long do you think it will last? I'm I'm guessing maybe an hour? 00:33:23
I mean if you, if you, yeah. I mean if you have a hard sock, you have to go. 00:33:32
That's fine. OK. You might also hear everything. Just a special shout out to our public works department. Great job during this 00:33:38
last snowstorm. So I just want to say thank you. 00:33:45
That salt that we've been buying for the last couple years. 00:33:52
So anybody else up here? Anybody from the public? 00:33:57
Please state your name and address. 00:34:02
Diane's Happy Auditor, New Albany Township. 00:34:07
I just wanted to say welcome back to Mr. Bagshaw and welcome. 00:34:10
Welcome to the party to Mr. Sarkson and Matt Mellie's. 00:34:16
You guys are going to get to know me really well while you sit on this board and so I look forward to it. 00:34:20
Thank you to all of you all to be willing to continue to serve. It is a, it's a very big responsibility. I'm actually very much 00:34:27
looking forward to our next workshop. I typically dread those, but this one I'm, I'm very excited about just to see who brings 00:34:33
what to the table for this community as far as these funds. And I appreciate you all allowing me to give you kind of your jumping 00:34:39
off point for conversation purposes for this. I'll do my best. 00:34:45
That I can for you also. Thank you. 00:34:52
Thank you. And if you have if you have questions. 00:34:54
About what may qualify and what doesn't or whatever. Send her an e-mail. She'll get back to you. 00:34:58
Have all options on the table. 00:35:10
Yeah, I guess for me what's more important is to come with a list of. 00:35:12
Project on how we're going to use the additional $5 million. 00:35:17
That we have at our disposal at this point. 00:35:22
Yep. And maybe, maybe, maybe. 00:35:26
That will be the point at where I understand why we did what we did. 00:35:29
I hope so. 00:35:34
Anybody else? 00:35:38
I'll take a motion to adjourn. 00:35:39
So move. 00:35:41
We are adjourned. 00:35:43

So moved second motion a second for the agenda as advertised. All in favor say aye aye. Any opposed that carries approval of 00:02:29
minutes from December 30th, 2024 clean up meeting. 00:02:36
So move. 00:02:43
Second motion is second for December 30th meeting minutes All in favor say aye aye. Any opposed that carries? Is there anyone from 00:02:46
the public that would like to speak before we get started tonight? 00:02:51
Seeing none, we will get started with new business. 00:02:59
Miss Lois. 00:03:03
Good thing and welcome new members. 00:03:07
Looking forward to a Goodyear Lois Interests County Recorder and I'm here to request a temporary person part time that will be 00:03:10
funded through my perpetuation fund. 00:03:16
Move to approve one a second we have a motion, a second for one a. Any questions for Lois or discussion? 00:03:24
Seeing none all in favor say aye. Any opposed? 00:03:35
That carries. Thank you. Thank you. 00:03:39
Kelly. 00:03:43
Good evening. Good evening, Sir. Chief Probation Officer of Floyd County. I'm here for appropriations for two of our grants. The 00:03:45
first one is our DOC grant, which is our two flip officers. 00:03:51
That is a for 131,150. 00:03:57
Motion to approve 2A. 00:04:02
So I got a motion and a second for 2A. Any discussion or questions for Kelly? 00:04:06
All in favor say aye aye. Any opposed? 00:04:14
That carries. 00:04:17
And then B is additional appropriation for our opioid restricted fund and this is for our juvenile liaison. 00:04:18
Move to approve 2B. 00:04:27
2nd we have a motion in a second for two. 00:04:29
Any questions or discussion? 00:04:34
Describe what this position does again. So this position is located in our juvenile probation department. She is getting contacts 00:04:37
from the school of those children who are missing school. So it's an attendance liaison. So what she's doing is making contact 00:04:43
with that, that child, their family to try to get them to come to school before they get the referral in a juvenile probation, 00:04:49
before they become truancy. 00:04:55
OK. 00:05:02
And this was approved by the J Rock Committee to use these opioid funds to. 00:05:05
To fund that position, I think for it's a two year, 2 years, we hired and began the position in late October or late September, 00:05:15
early October. So it'll run through at least September, October of 26. And we had a J Rack committee this past week and I think 00:05:23
they said she's already been successful at getting five kids back in school. 00:05:31
On a regular basis. Maybe it was 8. Was it 5 or 8? I don't want to quote they. 00:05:40
Having good results. 00:05:47
It's been successful already. 00:05:49
Any other questions? 00:05:53
All in favor of 2B say aye aye. Any opposed carries? Thank you, thank you. 00:05:55
Sheriff. 00:06:00
Good evening, congratulations to Sam and Matt and Delphia wins back on Dale back on the council and Sam and Matt who's not here 00:06:03
for their new journey. So looking forward to working with you through and the rest of the board. I have 3 items on there. The 00:06:09
first one is an ideal C grant such appropriation for this is our. 00:06:15
Transversal coordinators positioned through our change while Carter team, it's funded by brands. It will end in June, just so you 00:06:22
know. So we're working on avenues to fund that. 00:06:26
To continue that position. So it's been very fruitful in terms of our team and what we do with that position. 00:06:30
Motion to approve 3A as advertised. 00:06:37
2nd, I have a motion in a second for 3A. Any questions for the sheriff? 00:06:40
All in favor say aye. Any opposed? 00:06:47
That carries. Thank you. The next one is through our opiate unrestricted fund. This was appropriated last year, so this is a non 00:06:50
reverting fund. We have to come back again this year to ask for that. Basically it's miscellaneous equipment. It there's a lot of 00:06:55
equipment within this item. You see the the amount 246,000 plus a lot of it surveillance equipment. I didn't want to go in too 00:07:00
much detail last time. 00:07:05
Basis surveillance equipment, which includes, as an example, cameras, cars. 00:07:10
Computer programming, that's the name of three, but I don't want to go in too much detail for police investigative. I thought we 00:07:17
appropriated this. 00:07:20
Pardon me, you failed to encumber it. So we're having to reappropriate. So basically just for Sam's purpose, not the rest of the 00:07:27
board necessarily. The commissioners approved the ordinance to allow us to have the unrestricted funds to open settlement. There's 00:07:32
a board make up of myself. 00:07:36
Prosecutor, which is Chris Lane dying, topping through the auditor's office and a commissioner, which is was Jason Sharp. I'm I 00:07:43
don't know if he'll be back on it this year, but we bring requests to them. Initially, myself and Chris Lane went to each agency, 00:07:48
the state police, Greenville, Georgetown. 00:07:53
And do all me please and gather a list and that's why I see the large amount initially using the opiate funds for drug 00:07:58
investigation basically. 00:08:03
Motion to approve 3B. 00:08:08
As Fabric has. 00:08:10
Thanks. 00:08:13
Second motion in a second for three B. Oh, but so to be clear. 00:08:14
Sorry though, you should have asked for discussion. Go ahead. To be clear, had you been here on the last meeting the year, you 00:08:21
would have encumbered this and then we wouldn't be dealing with this. It's not like a double item. 00:08:27
Yeah, we did approve this last year, just didn't get paid out. 00:08:34
The only reason we didn't encumbers, we didn't have obligated funds at that moment, our invoices in hand to consider to be an 00:08:37
encumbrance which would have levy to create balance against the funds in 2024. So we felt it was the most appropriate thing and 00:08:45
most transparent thing to bring it back to the council again to be reviewed. 00:08:53
Any further discussion or questions? 00:09:02
All in favor of 3B say aye aye. Any opposed? 00:09:05
That carries. Thank you. See. And the last item under C is a request to move forward with water pipe project. I'll explain that 00:09:09
just real quick. 00:09:13
Sam did come by the office and review it himself. 00:09:19
Is we had an issues with our server with water pipes over the server and so we need to get that corrected. You all approved up to 00:09:23
50,000 last year. Sometime there was some change over the building authority, so the project got kind of pushed back a little bit. 00:09:29
So we're at the point now that I don't have the invoice from I believe we spent around 22,000 I think. 00:09:36
25 and we're ready to move forward with that. So all I'm requesting tonight is because it has to be advertised and we didn't get 00:09:43
it done on time. Once we got the invoice as of February, we'll get that advertised properly. We just ask permission to continue to 00:09:49
move forward with that project and what will happen is once this is approved. 00:09:54
And then what we'll do is RFP that out, that project out and then they'll let us know how much that's going to cost. And then I'll 00:10:01
have to come back again. As you remember worship being paid from where do we agree to? 00:10:06
Do you remember? 00:10:11
County General. 00:10:13
County. 00:10:14
Where? Out of what? 00:10:17
County General. I got that part. 00:10:19
Yeah. Is that a county general was a specific line 3014 in the old line at? 00:10:21
OK, it was a. 00:10:27
1003 Thousand 1.50.0005 So was that a county general fund? 00:10:30
In the Sheriff's Department? Yes, ma'am. 00:10:38
OK. 00:10:40
I'm motion to approve 3C as advertised. 00:10:43
Second motion in a second for 3C, any further discussion? So the invoice in hand is that for the engineering that we talked about. 00:10:47
So that's the invoice in hand for the engineering to look at the project. We don't believe it will be as expensive as we talked 00:10:52
about last year. 00:10:57
I think it'd be fairly cheaper. 00:11:03
When we so they haven't performed any engineering work yet, they just looked at it. 00:11:06
We've been working closely with the building authority in terms of this project so. 00:11:12
Sorry Donnie, with the new Audi Floyd County Building Authority. So the engineering, the plans will be back the end of February. 00:11:19
17th So we'll have two options for the Sheriff's Department to go over the best way to move those pipes. 00:11:26
Is that what cost $22,000? Yes, just to get those two options? Yes, Sir. 00:11:33
Drawings used to run between 2025 so. 00:11:39
They're right in the middle and it meets the scope of work. We're going to try two options to find out the best way to do it, and 00:11:43
spend less if we can, but still do it the right way. 00:11:47
Any other questions? I think Sam can go in and look at it. 00:11:55
But I just, I'm just questioning. I don't wanna be. I'll decide how to do it. 00:12:00
I don't want to be argumenting, but we spent $22,000 and all they did is come and look they they don't have any, any specs or 00:12:06
that's what they're working on. 00:12:10
That's what the money is going to work. That's the bill. 00:12:16
Because I'm gonna be a consultant if that's if that's the case. But let's tell you need pie. You're the more welcome on the 00:12:22
committee and you've done decks before that occurred and so. 00:12:25
Any further discussion? Yeah, I mean, I voiced this before that I feel the project the county has needs to pick up that tab. I 00:12:31
just suggested to see if the Sheriff's Office could pick up this part of it for the from the commissary funds because we know how 00:12:37
much is available in there. So I I just feel that's something we should do. I would really like to see this table this and let 00:12:43
some of the new council and look at the next report we get for the next 6 month report and really see how much what's being spent 00:12:49
out of that fund. But I'm not. 00:12:55
Opposed, you know to the capital project itself. Yeah, I think the county is going to pick that up. Well, just for the course of 00:13:01
the record tonight you're approving to allow us to continue to move forward and as far as payment wise, it'll be on the February 00:13:06
agenda for the appropriation of the money. So you know to John's point, you can bring up the discussion if you like and but you're 00:13:12
just asking to go forward. We're just looking for. 00:13:18
Forward movement tonight, would you agree to just at least look at paying some part of that out of the commissary? 00:13:25
We can see if it fits under the statute and if we there's even monies in there for that. You know you all. We also have some 00:13:33
projects coming up when you want to move out of that room that we are covering some costs there without coming to you all. So we 00:13:39
are doing things with the commissary to Jim's point of trying to limit us coming to you all on other avenues and other things that 00:13:45
we are doing. So just so you know, it's nice to know. Yes, yeah. 00:13:50
OK, we'll take a look at it. 00:13:58
Anyone else? 00:14:00
All in favor of three C say aye, aye opposed. 00:14:03
Thank you very much. 00:14:07
Mr. Nick Creeby. 00:14:10
Good evening. Good evening. 00:14:16
Director of Building and Development. That is not my title. 00:14:18
So a is a request for additional appropriation. 00:14:23
For Motor Vehicle Highway Fund for contractual services 275,000, it's related to 2 grant funded projects that we're coming out of 00:14:27
ARP money at the end of the year. 00:14:34
Yeah. Where, where should I restart from the start? It's coming from grant money. It's coming from grant money. Those are 00:14:42
reimbursable. 00:14:46
Expenses, one of them is 8020 reimbursements, yeah, there's 1910. So much of that money will be returned to that flight. 00:14:50
The appropriation that you're asking for is more than the balance in the account. 00:15:02
Can you help me there? 00:15:09
I have sand here with me that is assisting with my. 00:15:11
So I think he may be about. I'm sorry, Denise, I didn't hear your question. The appropriation that you're asking for is more than 00:15:14
the balance in the account. 00:15:19
Help me out. 00:15:25
I'm sorry. 00:15:26
Is this one that hasn't received money yet? 00:15:29
It's the MVH restricted fund so. 00:15:33
Yeah, they, yeah, that's fine. 00:15:37
And as Mr. Peevey explained, a lot of this will actually be returned to the fund additionally, due to the way the grants are 00:15:43
working for these projects. So not only is this not the limit that this fund is going to have, it will continue to get 00:15:49
distributions. A lot of this money will also come back to it. So this is an acceptable process. 00:15:56
2nd, we have a motion and a second for for a. Is there any other questions for the committee? 00:16:04
I think I do have go ahead. 00:16:09
Sorry, I asked my questions. You said there's a couple projects. Can you tell us which projects? It's the Charlestown Trail Rd. 00:16:12
Trail project. It's the inspection services for that. The construction for that is 100% funded by INDOT. That's a $3,000,000 00:16:21
project. The other one is the Paoli Pike multimodal study that we received funding through KIFTA NPO for that planning study. 00:16:30
Thank you. 00:16:41
Any other discussion? 00:16:44
All in favor for a say aye aye. Any opposed? 00:16:46
That carries. 00:16:50
This is a request for additional appropriation to a new fund that was established after the budget submissions in 2024 for the 00:16:58
Chase Building professional services and capital improvements are the items included. 00:17:05
Total for that request is 370-6000. 00:17:14
100,000. 00:17:18
It's, it's actually just the 2025 budget that was not put into the budget hearing process. So we're setting a budget for 25 will 00:17:20
be expected to put a budget in through. 00:17:25
Years moving out. 00:17:31
So this isn't for one specific. 00:17:33
Project. This is for the whole year what you expect to spend on professional services out of the cube cap. Yes, development. 00:17:35
OK, motion to approve. 00:17:46
4B Second, we have a motion and a second for 4B. Any other questions or discussion? 00:17:47
All in favor say aye aye. Any opposed? 00:17:56
Carries. 00:17:59
We got it. It's OK. 00:18:03
Additional appropriation requests for motor vehicle highway. 00:18:07
This was a result of their budget not being included in the 1782 notice. 00:18:13
It is just. 00:18:20
Appropriate and unrestricted budget back to. 00:18:24
Yeah, yeah. 00:18:31
Yeah, this was just one. 00:18:32
Because it. 00:18:34
Y'all got combined. So this is the split for the 1176 The NBA fund or the county highway fund? I'm sorry. 00:18:35
Breaking it out so the budget set, so you put it all in one fund and now you're splitting it into two. 00:18:42
So do we need to unappropriate the other amounts? 00:18:51
I don't think so. I think it was only put in for half the budget. Somehow or another, this just disappeared in the budget hearing 00:18:55
process. 00:18:58
So. 00:19:02
So when the budgets were submitted, they were submitted under their separate coding and the DLGF overlook the separate coatings. 00:19:06
So they only approved on the 1782, the restricted the 1173 and then after speaking with our budget Rep and the DLGF, they're like 00:19:13
well, it's December 31st, please just go ahead and re appropriate what you approved for your budget at your first meeting and we 00:19:19
said OK. 00:19:26
So that's what this is. It's clean up from where they didn't realize that there were two separate funds because we coded them 00:19:33
correctly for the first time ever. 00:19:37
And they were all clocking out on the last day and we have a revenue stream to support. Absolutely, yeah, this is this is funded 00:19:41
and it was approved at budgets and it exists in our system. It just doesn't exist in the DLGS system right now. 00:19:48
Motion to approve 4C. 00:19:56
Second, you have a motion a second for 4C. Any other questions? 00:19:58
Or discussion points all in favor say aye aye. Any opposed? 00:20:02
That carries. 00:20:07
This one request for additional preparation for the Redevelopment authority the. 00:20:11
Debt service. 00:20:17
So. 00:20:19
This is a special district and per the State Board of Accounts guidance. 00:20:20
We were instructed to start submitting budgets to the Council for approval for this. 00:20:27
The redevelopment authority carries a bond for the infrastructure at the Nova Park. 00:20:32
That's all they do. So this is a new fund we will submit. 00:20:37
This as part of the regular budget project process in the future. 00:20:43
But it needs to be appropriate here. 00:20:47
Is it's a it's a one line budget, it's just the debt service is paid from that and SPOR made the recommendation not a finding, but 00:20:50
a recommendation that moving forward in 25 and out that. 00:20:55
The fund actually is. 00:21:02
Before the budget process. So obviously we did not hit the budget process. The next best step is to come for additional 00:21:05
appropriations. Why isn't the fund detailed in here, the fund of the line and all that like all the other? 00:21:12
Appropriations. 00:21:23
I was going to say, is it not part of our budgeting our. 00:21:25
It's a separate entity altogether, but we have to approve. 00:21:32
Yeah, and done. 00:21:36
Don explained it. I don't know that much about it, unfortunately some. 00:21:39
Where the redevelopment is coming a little bit more under the council umbrella as well as auditor reporting, my office never used 00:21:44
to have to do. 00:21:49
Reporting on our county development, but now we're going to have to include them in our annual financial report. 00:21:54
So this is just, it's almost becoming a hybrid. So this is something you oversee that is not technically fine. 00:22:00
I think even on the the AFR it's reported differently. It's very, it's brand new. 00:22:10
We just got to make sure it's broken out so it can be seen. 00:22:15
Yes, exactly that we're not asking reading other than just what the recommendation from state. 00:22:19
And the redevelopment? 00:22:25
Authority. The Redevelopment Commission, should I say. 00:22:27
Has looked at this and proved this or we I'm yeah I don't know how they fit into this home. Yes the development authority was 00:22:31
established. 00:22:36
Development Commission to hold this money and do this. So yes they they are. 00:22:40
And I think, Diana, maybe you can confirm, but I believe it was just reported in debt service in prior years, which is why SBO, it 00:22:47
hit the SBO. 00:22:51
Tension flag. So they wanted to be brought to the attention accounts for that. That's the best thing. That's correct. Best I can 00:22:56
do. 00:22:59
So brand new process, we're all figuring out this is what they requested that we do as far as documentation and stepwise. So we're 00:23:03
doing our best adhere to it. 00:23:07
So we should approve it. 00:23:13
Motion to approve 4D. 00:23:17
I don't know what. 00:23:19
Diana, because because I trust Diana and the second we've got a motion and 2nd for 4D, I guess Diana. 00:23:24
I stopping I guess going forward. 00:23:34
We will eventually know what the. 00:23:37
Funding source and stuff and stuff of this is. 00:23:39
Just the first seven and we'll break this out in the for the 26th budget as well. It'll be part of the budget process. 00:23:43
Gotcha. Any other questions? 00:23:52
All in favor of 4D say aye. Any opposed? I'm staying. I just don't understand this. I don't feel comfortable. 00:23:56
Who should understand? 00:24:06
That carries 4 E is interlocal agreement between Floyd County and Georgetown. 00:24:09
This is an addendum to a previous agreement. 00:24:15
What is the local? I think I read it. It's for building and development services. We do that for both Greenville and Georgetown, 00:24:19
but this is Georgetown. 00:24:24
New to the Earth amendment to that. 00:24:31
It has been vetted by. 00:24:34
Motion to approve for E. 00:24:36
2nd Interlocal agreement. 00:24:39
Motion a second for 4 E any other questions? Yeah, when I was reading through that. 00:24:42
The fees are still the same with counties charging them. It doesn't go up. 00:24:47
I didn't see that in the notes. I couldn't tell the notes I saw. 00:24:52
The previous agreements, so we had been charging them $20,000 a year for since 2018. The county increased its fees for our 00:24:59
permitting processes. So we the same percentage of increase increase the the contract or the request report. 00:25:08
Good, that's good. 00:25:18
Any further discussion on E? 00:25:20
All in favor say aye. Any opposed? 00:25:23
That carries. 00:25:27
Thank you. 00:25:30
Committee for that. 00:25:32
Michelle. 00:25:34
Hello everyone, Michelle Portwood, Human Resources. I hope you have the salary ordinance in front of you. The salary ordinance was 00:25:37
originally approved October 16th at budget time last year. So this salary ordinance only updates the new people who've been hired 00:25:47
and taking out the old people who've left. So we hope to have had the road department agreement finalized. 00:25:56
But that didn't happen so. 00:26:07
That's unfortunate. I have to say thank them for clearing our roads of snow. They did an outstanding job. But anyway, that's why I 00:26:10
have a new salary ordinance before you. So they're still making the same salary as last year, correct? 00:26:16
No increase at all. 00:26:23
Correct. 00:26:25
Danny, where's that stand? We are getting back to negotiations. 00:26:27
And. 00:26:34
Whenever the Teamsters are ready to meet again. 00:26:36
We'll we'll meet again and continue the discussion and. 00:26:41
Just like with any negotiations. 00:26:46
Retroactive. 00:26:48
The pay is a negotiation point. 00:26:50
Or it can start from the time of. 00:26:55
Contractors and contracts improve inside, yeah, so we're. 00:26:57
But to be clear, it's in the hands of the Teamsters right now. 00:27:03
Yes, well, it's. 00:27:08
They voted down the last offer, so we're. 00:27:11
We're getting back together to. 00:27:13
Discuss where we go from here. So right. 00:27:17
We're down to. 00:27:22
Mainly 1 issue. 00:27:25
So. 00:27:26
We'll hopefully get that resolved, which is the insurance. 00:27:29
Which is salary or pay? Oh, it's salary. OK yeah, insurance is off the table again. So hopefully that's settled sooner rather than 00:27:33
later and we can we can move on and. 00:27:39
I think we're. 00:27:47
Not too far apart so. 00:27:48
OK. 00:27:54
Motion to approve. 00:27:55
2nd, we have a motion a second for 5A. Any further discussion? 00:27:57
All in favor say aye. Any opposed? 00:28:02
That carries. Thank you. Thank you. 00:28:06
Recovering for Charlotte. 00:28:12
The health department just has two different line transfers that they would like to request. 00:28:16
Just some money movement that since of course budgets were adopted and. 00:28:23
October of last year, there's been some reevaluation on where to. 00:28:28
Actually have these funds at so they're just moving them now so that they don't have to move them later. 00:28:33
Motion to approve 6A and B. 00:28:39
As advertised, I'll second it. 00:28:43
Have a motion a second for 6A and B. Any questions or discussion? 00:28:45
All in favor say aye aye. Any opposed? 00:28:52
That carries. 00:28:55
7A And Gloria, correct me if I'm wrong, these additional appropriations are due to the fact that the budget submitted and approved 00:28:59
for some reason did not match the actual salary for the individual for these two lines. So we're just making up the difference 00:29:05
that was required to match those salaries that were actually approved. When she submitted her budgets, she didn't put her 2% 00:29:11
increase on there, which brings up a really good point. 00:29:17
That we have done a cross check between what's in the budget and what's in the salary ordinance. We have had that problem in the 00:29:24
past, but. 00:29:28
When we the past few years we've done, we've done really well. We're staying on top of it. Michelle does an excellent job keeping 00:29:32
up with our salary ordinance. She always asks for everyone to look over it. 00:29:37
Humanize. 00:29:43
Numbers, if you look at them long enough, I mean, you know this, Denise, they start to blur together. 00:29:45
So we do our best. We caught it at the first of the year realizing these appropriations didn't happen. Luckily it's out of the 00:29:49
1161, so it's something other than county funds, so. 00:29:55
Motion to approve 7A as advertised. 00:30:02
I have a motion and a second. Any further questions on 7/8? 00:30:06
All in favor say aye aye. Any opposed it carries. 00:30:12
County Council dues increase this year and we do need an additional appropriation of $35 to complete. 00:30:16
The AIC dues needed for the County Council move to approve 7B. We have a motion in a second for 7B. Any questions about the dues 00:30:22
increase? 00:30:27
All in favor say aye. Any opposed? 00:30:33
That carries. 00:30:37
Move to approve. 00:30:47
I'll second the motion in a second for. 00:30:52
The transfer ordinance. 00:30:55
Sam, if you don't know what that is just yet, that's. 00:31:00
An ordinance for all the transfers. 00:31:04
That we. 00:31:07
Yep, just approved. So they have to be in an ordinance now? 00:31:10
Any discussion on the ordinance? 00:31:14
All in favor say aye aye. Any opposed that carries? 00:31:16
I'm not sure if we have any committee reports, anybody from the council have anything? 00:31:21
We did. 00:31:27
Put out a meeting invite. Notice that we need to discuss for two weeks out for a workshop. 00:31:28
To discuss. 00:31:36
Moving funds that qualify for the public safety lit. 00:31:39
Did everybody get a chance to look at that meeting date? 00:31:46
Tom, when did that come out? Yesterday, I believe. 00:31:50
28th Sam, two weeks from tonight at six, OK. 00:31:55
Here SO. 00:32:01
And I understand Diana's working on a spreadsheet with suggestions on how to move things around. 00:32:03
Yes. 00:32:10
I just have to say I really want to understand how the money is going to be spent before we start moving things around. I'm not 00:32:14
willing just to move things out of the general. 00:32:20
Expenses out of the general account and into this new tax that we created without understanding how we're going to use the 00:32:29
additional funds and the general fund. 00:32:34
So or whatever other fund that we are moving funds in and out of Denise, I think that's what we call a workshop so we can get out 00:32:40
the white board and go to work. Perfect. 00:32:46
We'll discuss. Bring your ideas, everybody. Bring your ideas, bring it up. And that's what we're gonna do. Workshop on the 00:32:52
workshop on the yes, 20, whatever and no action take not at front, not this Friday. We're not doing that. 00:32:59
No, this is a difference between this. This is the work. This is 2 weeks from tonight. 00:33:07
Workshop. 00:33:11
And Dale's correct. No action taken. We can talk. 00:33:13
Consensus, but we we're not going to be voting on anything until we're. 00:33:18
In a regular meeting. So is everybody OK with that, that date? How long do you think it will last? I'm I'm guessing maybe an hour? 00:33:23
I mean if you, if you, yeah. I mean if you have a hard sock, you have to go. 00:33:32
That's fine. OK. You might also hear everything. Just a special shout out to our public works department. Great job during this 00:33:38
last snowstorm. So I just want to say thank you. 00:33:45
That salt that we've been buying for the last couple years. 00:33:52
So anybody else up here? Anybody from the public? 00:33:57
Please state your name and address. 00:34:02
Diane's Happy Auditor, New Albany Township. 00:34:07
I just wanted to say welcome back to Mr. Bagshaw and welcome. 00:34:10
Welcome to the party to Mr. Sarkson and Matt Mellie's. 00:34:16
You guys are going to get to know me really well while you sit on this board and so I look forward to it. 00:34:20
Thank you to all of you all to be willing to continue to serve. It is a, it's a very big responsibility. I'm actually very much 00:34:27
looking forward to our next workshop. I typically dread those, but this one I'm, I'm very excited about just to see who brings 00:34:33
what to the table for this community as far as these funds. And I appreciate you all allowing me to give you kind of your jumping 00:34:39
off point for conversation purposes for this. I'll do my best. 00:34:45
That I can for you also. Thank you. 00:34:52
Thank you. And if you have if you have questions. 00:34:54
About what may qualify and what doesn't or whatever. Send her an e-mail. She'll get back to you. 00:34:58
Have all options on the table. 00:35:10
Yeah, I guess for me what's more important is to come with a list of. 00:35:12
Project on how we're going to use the additional $5 million. 00:35:17
That we have at our disposal at this point. 00:35:22
Yep. And maybe, maybe, maybe. 00:35:26
That will be the point at where I understand why we did what we did. 00:35:29
I hope so. 00:35:34
Anybody else? 00:35:38
I'll take a motion to adjourn. 00:35:39
So move. 00:35:41
We are adjourned. 00:35:43
