All right. 00:02:15
What was your chance? 00:02:16
Own business. 00:02:18
IT, Gary is. 00:02:20
Gary called me. He's not going to be able to be here tonight. 00:02:23
This is the situation that we talked about with the upgrade of. 00:02:25
The hardware for. 00:02:31
Courts and clerk. 00:02:32
I move to approve 1A old business 1A. 00:02:39
As advertised. 00:02:41
2nd. 00:02:43
Sorry, I lost my spot. We have a motion, a second for one, a for. 00:02:47
I guess it is for software as well. 00:02:51
Coming from the Riverboat fund. 00:02:56
Any discussion on that item? 00:02:58
All in favor say aye aye. Any opposed? 00:03:02
Black carries. 00:03:07
New business judge Granger. 00:03:09
Good evening, you're going to see me multiple times this evening I'm covering for. 00:03:14
A few people who couldn't make it. 00:03:17
So, the first being Judge Granger. 00:03:20
This first one 1A is an additional appropriation on one for grant funds. 00:03:24
Out of 9176. 00:03:30
Move to approve 1A. 00:03:33
Second motion and 2nd for one a any. 00:03:35
Questions. 00:03:38
Any discussion? 00:03:40
All in favor say aye. 00:03:41
Aye, any opposed? 00:03:42
Red carrots. 00:03:44
1B is a line transfer within her general fund budget, just moving it from miscellaneous equipment to law books. 00:03:46
Have no additional appropriation, just money that was already approved as part of our budget. We're just moving it around where it 00:03:56
can be spent. 00:03:59
I'll move to approve one. 00:04:03
As advertised. 00:04:04
2nd. 00:04:06
Motion in a second for 1B. Any discussion? 00:04:07
All in favor say aye. 00:04:11
Aye, all opposed. 00:04:14
Sam, Sam. 00:04:15
Judge Plain. 00:04:18
You're up. 00:04:20
So these would be. 00:04:23
To move money that's already. 00:04:26
Appropriated my glasses on. 00:04:28
You've got decrease of witness and depositions and law books and interpreter and increase miscellaneous equipment. 00:04:31
I think they are being trained. 00:04:37
I don't. 00:04:43
It's already appropriated, I just need to move it around to pay the. 00:04:44
The pen. 00:04:47
I remind you every time I come, the pennies the Magistrate Court cost you all. 00:04:48
So that's the request move to approve to a second. 00:04:53
We have a motion a second for two. Any questions for judge miscellaneous equipment. 00:04:58
What do you want to purchase I guess? 00:05:04
Well. 00:05:07
It has to go. 00:05:09
Here's where we find ourselves in the Magistrate Board. 00:05:12
It is literally. 00:05:15
Wallpaper and the walls are literally. 00:05:17
Coming down so the idea is to. 00:05:20
Put the wallpaper back on the walls. We've talked. 00:05:25
Building people and to make it actually habitable. 00:05:28
Because I don't think we're going anywhere for a while. 00:05:31
Why don't be so negative? 00:05:34
Judge. 00:05:37
But so it's. 00:05:39
It's for upkeep of your office. 00:05:43
Rough, and we're just trying to make do with what we have. 00:05:48
I gave away my. 00:05:51
Renovation budget and other things years ago so. 00:05:52
That's the request. 00:05:57
Any other questions for Judge Flanagan? 00:05:59
All in favor of 2A say aye. 00:06:02
Any opposed? 00:06:05
That carries the next one is mine is I can stay up here, Diana can do it so. 00:06:06
This is. 00:06:12
This is right, OK. 00:06:15
So. 00:06:17
We created from the opioid money that was approved by the commissioners and by the Council. 00:06:18
For money to hire a truancy abatement coordinator out of juvenile probation. 00:06:26
She was hired. 00:06:32
We were given that money. 00:06:34
Ended up not having to have her because she's already retired. 00:06:36
Higher pay, so the money that was already appropriated. 00:06:39
We are asking to create lines and see if. 00:06:43
That money? 00:06:48
That would have paid for perp out of the opioid grant money we've already been given. 00:06:49
To pay for incentives and miscellaneous supplies for the children. 00:06:53
And the students are in the program. 00:06:57
So I don't know. 00:07:00
So this money is not additional appropriations necessarily to the grant itself. That is an additional appropriation to this year's 00:07:03
fiscal budget due to the fact that Curb was not included in this year's fiscal budget because they knew they would need 1/4. So 00:07:08
it's not extra money from the grant that was already approved. 00:07:13
It's just extra money in this year's fiscal budget, that's all it is. 00:07:18
So they gave me a lump sum of money to spread over 2 years. 00:07:22
Or for this person got retired or retired for some. I don't have to pay her so I'm asking to move the money to use it. 00:07:25
Import incentives. 00:07:32
And this link is supplies. 00:07:33
If you wanted a little background on the program, there's already 30 kids in it. 00:07:37
To children are going to graduate in Albany this year that were actually failing out. 00:07:41
3rd from 8th grade in Hazelwood and so there's already results from the program. 00:07:46
Beautiful. 00:07:52
Money for some incentives and some basic supplies for them that they need to get to school. 00:07:53
I make a motion to approve 3A. 00:07:58
Zagat, we have a motion and a second for 3A. Any further questions or discussion? 00:08:00
All in favor say aye. 00:08:06
Aye, any opposed? 00:08:08
I'm curious. 00:08:10
Hi, I'm Charlotte this evening as well. 00:08:13
Might as well be sure. 00:08:15
This is an additional appropriation from one of her grant funds. 00:08:17
So it's in the 8116. 00:08:21
Which is the H5 N 1 supplemental fund? 00:08:24
Move to approve for a as advertised. 00:08:31
I'll second. 00:08:36
We have a motion in a second for for a. 00:08:36
Any questions or discussion? 00:08:39
So this grants already been received. She's just looking for home. 00:08:41
Putting it in line so she can spend it. 00:08:44
OK. Anyone else? 00:08:47
All in favor say aye. 00:08:51
Aye, any opposed? 00:08:52
That carries. 00:08:54
Mr. Creevy. 00:08:56
I have several here for you. A is. 00:09:02
An additional appropriation request to 9124. 00:09:05
Yeah, it's been out there. Ready, Grant 1. Umm. 00:09:10
Ready 1 Grant This is for the construction. 00:09:14
Of the red wire building. 00:09:17
300. 00:09:19
1425. 00:09:20
With construction what? 00:09:24
The red wire. The red wire building at a noble part. 00:09:26
Founded through Ratty Times. 00:09:30
I'll make a motion to approve 5A. 00:09:35
Second motion and a second for five. Any questions for Nick? 00:09:38
It just the only thing I looked at, it says utilities on here. That's what I was. 00:09:43
Initially that went out. I don't know if that was a typo or a copy and paste there or something. 00:09:47
But yeah, it's for construction. 00:09:55
Any further questions? 00:09:59
All in favor of 5A say aye. 00:10:01
Any opposed? 00:10:03
That carries. 00:10:05
Right, the next item is additional appropriation, the new line item for in 12/07. 00:10:06
For permit compliance platform and request is 38,000. 00:10:14
That is to replace the. 00:10:20
Permitting software that we use now. 00:10:22
For code compliance and. 00:10:27
Enforcement. 00:10:30
We use a couple of called Central Square, their contracts coming up. 00:10:32
We don't like them and so we would like to use a different. 00:10:36
We're building this one. 00:10:40
This has no subscription fees. 00:10:42
In the long run, this is probably going to save us money. 00:10:44
I don't know, but we need to kind of build it out first. 00:10:47
Move to approve 3B as advertised. 00:10:53
That wasn't 3, it's 5B. 00:10:55
Is there a second? 00:11:00
I'll second it. 00:11:01
We have a motion in a second for 5B. Any other questions for Nick? 00:11:02
Other than the fact that you don't like the current one, what what's their cost? 00:11:06
The annual subscription subscription costs about 15,000. 00:11:10
This one has has no subscription fee. We we do hire oh hmm, to be kind of on call so hourly rate if it's. 00:11:16
We have issues. 00:11:24
Any further questions? 00:11:27
All in favor of 5B say aye aye. 00:11:30
Any opposed? 00:11:33
That carries. 00:11:34
C is an additional appropriation request. 00:11:37
For the red wire. 00:11:40
576,896. 00:11:44
From 4509. 00:11:52
So the current unappropriated fund balance shown is not accurate. 00:11:56
Right. Get ahead of that. 00:12:03
Question. Yeah, Thank you. 00:12:04
We we had some large. 00:12:09
Large. 00:12:12
Disbursements from our bond. 00:12:13
As well as. 00:12:16
Ready one funds go into that. 00:12:18
I have. 00:12:21
914. 00:12:24
Available. 00:12:27
Diana can check my phone numbers on that. 00:12:30
OK. 00:12:35
Thank you. 00:12:38
So I do have a question. 00:12:42
So. So we did. 00:12:48
We didn't approve. 00:12:51
Appropriation for 318. 00:12:53
From Ready. 00:12:56
And and this is. 00:12:58
From our funds. 00:13:04
This is wait. 00:13:06
I don't know where this money's coming from. Is it if? 00:13:07
Revenue from Tiffany. 00:13:11
Tiff Bond, Denise. 00:13:14
Revenue from a tip bond. 00:13:15
So we're already receiving that much money from the TIF? 00:13:18
Or it's a bond. 00:13:22
It's a bond that we secured with the TIF money, right? Yes, correct. 00:13:25
OK. And the total bond amount was? How much? 00:13:31
I don't have that. 00:13:38
Today. 00:13:39
And then we have an annual payment that we're going to have to make on that bond from the tip that we're. 00:13:44
Getting once the building is. 00:13:50
Correct. And this, this yes, that's correct. And this TIFF is is for that. 00:13:53
Building loans. 00:13:58
So once it comes online. 00:14:00
It should pay back that revenue because. 00:14:02
It's the only project in that TIF currently. 00:14:06
Yeah, I get it. 00:14:10
I guess I was. 00:14:12
I don't remember. 00:14:13
I assume that we did do this. We did approve that bond. 00:14:15
With the TIF money, but I don't remember that, so I don't remember how much the bond was. 00:14:21
Fairly easily. 00:14:27
OK, so. 00:14:29
How much is the county? 00:14:33
Paying on this? 00:14:36
Red wire building. 00:14:38
And how much is red wire paying? What's the split? 00:14:41
So they're, they're leasing it from us. We, we will own the building. 00:14:44
So they will need. 00:14:48
So we're building the whole building and they're leasing it from. 00:14:51
We are the redevelopment. 00:14:55
Yes, the Redevelopment Commission will. 00:14:57
OK, I'm I'm remembering this now. 00:15:00
OK. 00:15:02
OK. 00:15:04
I'll look into that more. We don't need to talk about this tonight. 00:15:05
OK. Thank you. 00:15:08
You're welcome. 00:15:10
We are looking for motion for 5C. 00:15:11
Motion to Approve 5. 00:15:19
Is there a second? 00:15:22
Second, have a motion and a second for five. See any further discussions for Nick on this one. 00:15:24
So between these two line items, will that cover all of the construction expenses? 00:15:30
I'd have to check the numbers. It's over $2,000,000. 00:15:37
Yeah, it's I just this is first phase. It's it's a, it's a big building. 00:15:40
That's fairly impressive. 00:15:46
Any other questions on this one? 00:15:50
All in favor of 5C say aye. 00:15:52
Aye, any opposed? 00:15:54
That carries. 00:15:56
All right, the final item I have is. 00:15:58
Additional appropriation The wrong item for the King Bridge Fund, 1135. 00:16:01
This is for Bridge 51 requesting $50,000. 00:16:06
Again, that unappropriated fund balance. 00:16:12
Is not the number I have. 00:16:16
Because this was advertised prior to. 00:16:19
Yes. 00:16:22
So I have three 84156. 00:16:24
156. 00:16:31
As Diana looks that up. 00:16:33
To. 00:16:35
So I have nearly $400,000 in this. 00:16:40
This fund. 00:16:42
Is there a motion to approve 5D? 00:16:44
Motion approved. 5D as advertised. 00:16:48
Motion in a second for 5D any. 00:16:51
Other discussions for Nick. We all know Bridge 51, blacks and male. 00:16:54
So what is this? Some engineering? This is actually. 00:16:58
More specifically for the damn. 00:17:02
OK, the commissioners did that last week. 00:17:05
We entered into a contract. 00:17:08
With Ecosystems Connections class commissioners reading. 00:17:12
Gentleman there is pursuing. 00:17:17
Working it through FHWA and the. 00:17:20
Necessary permitting to get approvals to remove that. 00:17:23
So that we can. 00:17:26
Do the work necessary to open. 00:17:28
The current bridge 51. 00:17:30
Total cost on the dam removal is $200,000. 00:17:33
We are. 00:17:37
Leveraging. 00:17:40
150,000 that others. 00:17:41
Committing to that project. 00:17:44
We will not pay more than that. 00:17:47
This um. 00:17:49
We all know it's been going on forever, but was that dam going to come out in the construction phase? It was not going to. 00:17:52
Part of the issue why it's taking so long. 00:17:58
As part of the new project, it was not included. 00:18:03
We didn't. We didn't. 00:18:06
I was going to the assumption it was going to be. 00:18:07
It was not included to be taken out. So when we did all the reviews, the federal reviews. 00:18:10
The assumption that was there, so. 00:18:15
Going back and changing that, we are concerned that that will. 00:18:18
Mess up the timeline. Require new environmental approval. 00:18:23
Which would be years. 00:18:26
So that's the issue we have. 00:18:28
With that where the shipment that dam. 00:18:31
Hopeful that it won't extend the timeline since most of them are being taken out. 00:18:38
All around the state. 00:18:42
Anyway, as a recommendation, so. 00:18:44
Did we get an emotion on this? 00:18:48
Yeah, OK. 00:18:49
Any further? Any further questions or discussion? 00:18:51
I guess we could hope he'd be gone when the floodwaters resume. 00:18:55
It's just, gosh. 00:18:58
It's already been breached. Maybe it's just gone. 00:19:00
That would be helpful, but. 00:19:03
This bunch of rocks? Probably not likely, yeah. 00:19:04
All right, all in favor of 5D say aye. 00:19:08
Aye, any opposed? 00:19:12
That carries and Mr. Creepy before you take off. 00:19:13
Give us there were some questions this week. 00:19:18
About the zoning of. 00:19:21
The new health department building. 00:19:23
And we are. 00:19:25
In compliance with the current zoning, yes. I have verified with the city that. 00:19:27
That is their highway. We're in a commercial zone. 00:19:32
Which government services are permitted use in that zone? So. 00:19:36
I believe that we are. 00:19:41
In the clear and whatever use that we do. 00:19:43
Thank you very much. 00:19:46
Mr. Lorch. 00:19:52
Good evening. 00:19:59
Good evening. 00:20:00
I'm here to take a reclassification. 00:20:01
Of one of our employees, he's an administrative etcetera. 00:20:05
To elevate. 00:20:09
I think it would be hugely beneficial to our Africa. 00:20:12
Have a better not know many law athletes if they don't have one. 00:20:15
And so I think this is a. 00:20:20
But. 00:20:22
We organize a lot of Dustin's acting on a few units. 00:20:24
To go and. 00:20:27
We got pretty lucky with a high last year. 00:20:29
And she picked up. 00:20:33
The administrator said that pipe pretty quickly. 00:20:35
And I wanted to take on more, do more, and so we've got training so we can basically training it in flash ball. 00:20:37
On what? 00:20:45
How to do that? You've really come a long way and. 00:20:48
Basically performing at the building at this point, so. 00:20:51
I thought it was appropriate to come. 00:20:56
And. 00:20:58
Classification and. 00:21:00
Without the according to pay rates as well. 00:21:02
So. 00:21:05
Mr. Lords came in. 00:21:07
Last week. 00:21:09
And presented the information. So there's there's several moving parts that go. 00:21:10
With this request so this position. 00:21:17
Was a was a backfill. 00:21:21
And your new hire? 00:21:23
Has taken on some more responsibility. 00:21:25
This is also a position that gets a lot of reimbursement. 00:21:28
And it's a very complicated. 00:21:32
Scale so. 00:21:35
I'll try to give it to you as simple as. 00:21:38
As I can. 00:21:40
And if. 00:21:42
If I get parts of this wrong or whatever, jump in but. 00:21:43
The if this if this reclassification is granted this evening. 00:21:48
75%. 00:21:54
Of the salary will be reimbursed at a 40% rate. 00:21:56
And then the other 25% will be reimbursed. 00:22:03
At a different rate. 00:22:07
It's only. 00:22:08
Because African peoples and the other lady was. 00:22:11
But that's where the most at 40%. 00:22:15
The other app is generally administered and then. 00:22:20
And we agreed to take on. 00:22:26
To data collection. 00:22:28
Connection. 00:22:32
Understand in exchange within. 00:22:33
Thanks. Play 50% of that. 00:22:37
25 to 10. 00:22:41
Right, so. 00:22:43
The state has started a program and they they. 00:22:44
Ask counties to start. 00:22:47
Reporting data on misdemeanors and Floyd County jumped right on board and is getting reimbursed. 00:22:49
We were one of both. 00:22:54
Participated in that. 00:22:57
And with the equivalent of people doing that as soon as it became available. 00:22:58
And that one was alive. They are looking at us. 00:23:02
At the top. At the top contender. 00:23:05
To be one of the cloud pilot county at the 20. 00:23:07
That have applied. 00:23:11
To that commitment reinvented. 00:23:12
We should do about that in June. 00:23:15
So later this. 00:23:16
Summer, June or July. 00:23:17
June will be announced. 00:23:20
Which counties get to start that? 00:23:22
Or continue with the pilot program? 00:23:24
For the misdemeanor reimbursement, so. 00:23:27
With us being one of the first in. 00:23:30
Yeah. And we, we help them develop this budget that they use. 00:23:32
To track everything as it. 00:23:38
We want to **** people. 00:23:40
We were very helpful with that with them and. 00:23:42
So we have a great relationship with them. 00:23:46
Then that's going to hopefully they divide and then. 00:23:48
Will you get out of county back with Utah? 00:23:51
By my calculations at least another 100,000. 00:23:55
Coming back. 00:23:58
So so. 00:24:00
Short term. 00:24:02
$9000 Ask. 00:24:05
Total after everything's boiled down the reimbursements. 00:24:07
Than what what it would be under the. 00:24:16
But. 00:24:19
On annual basis. 00:24:20
After the embodiment. 00:24:22
It would be just over 8000. 00:24:24
Even though the tag. 00:24:27
15 It would only amount to a net cost to the county of 813 to. 00:24:29
I'll make a motion to approve 6A. 00:24:38
2nd. 00:24:41
We have a motion and a second for 6A. 00:24:42
Is there any other? 00:24:44
Questions for Mr. Lourke It's insignificant, but. 00:24:46
Include benefits, which would be. 00:24:49
Additional, but it's not significant, it's about $3000 more correct, little over 3000. 00:24:51
Yeah, that that number was. 00:24:56
Correct, that number was salary alone. 00:24:58
Yeah, I think you know. 00:25:00
We didn't really have a recommendation. I wanted to get this before the full. 00:25:04
Council but. 00:25:09
For me the. 00:25:10
The longer term benefit is the. 00:25:12
The data collection and the reimbursement from for that which will far exceed. 00:25:14
The cost? 00:25:19
That we're paying out. Denise, did you have something? 00:25:21
Heard the mic. 00:25:23
Well, I I did look at this a little bit and it she's going from a a calm. 00:25:26
A comment all the way up to a pack B. 00:25:34
Which is a big job. I mean, she's going from 40,800 all the way up. 00:25:37
To 55,000 which is the midpoint of a cat B. 00:25:43
I was wondering if we shouldn't go to the the the range for a pat B is 47,600 all the way up to 4058 thousand. 00:25:48
200. 00:25:59
My recommendation is we go with. 00:26:00
Low range of a pet B. 00:26:03
To start off with and then read. 00:26:07
Visit this at budget time. It's just a big raise. 00:26:09
Well, it is. I don't. I don't disagree that it is. This was also. 00:26:14
Submitted to Wisconsin their analysis as well, and that's the. 00:26:18
That's the level that they put the position at. 00:26:22
Right. And I'm not debating. 00:26:26
The level I'm not debating the pet be I'm just saying let's go to the. 00:26:29
That the range of that is 47,658 thousand. 00:26:33
Why don't we start with the 47,600? That rather than going to the mid. 00:26:39
It doesn't. It's not a lot of money. 00:26:47
Especially since we're being reimbursed but. 00:26:50
We're trying to be concerned, we're trying to be fiscal conservatives here, and I just think we need to think about all of these 00:26:54
things just a little bit. 00:26:57
Don't don't disagree what she's what she's saying. 00:27:02
Matt is. 00:27:05
There's a range for Pat B and she she would rather start at the at the low end of that and then. 00:27:07
And move up from there. 00:27:14
Our motion is for. 00:27:21
The advertised amount. 00:27:22
We can take a vote on that and if it doesn't pass then we can. 00:27:27
We can reopen for. 00:27:29
Different level. 00:27:34
Different motions. So is there any further discussion, discussion or questions for Matt Danny? I'd rather just redo the motions 00:27:35
because I don't want it to look like I'm not going to vote for that. 00:27:41
But I'd rather vote for it at the right level. 00:27:48
I understand the nice and that's up to the person who made the motion so. 00:27:50
I'm fine with the motion they want. They want to take a vote as is. 00:27:54
So OK. 00:27:57
Any other questions? Well, that's not a question. I'm coming with Denise. I think she makes some good points here and I've. 00:28:00
Once you've explained this to me, I'm I'm in support of this as well. 00:28:05
But I think Denise makes a very valid point what we're talking about these salary ranges with everybody else and. 00:28:10
All the money we put in these salary studies just. 00:28:16
We should be more consistent with this. 00:28:19
So one of the things that. 00:28:22
We look at a lot of time. 00:28:24
Because the Commission Brexit to. 00:28:27
Is actually part of our comprehensive plan. 00:28:29
That they. 00:28:31
Point Yeah, so that not only applies to the attorneys, but the. 00:28:34
Dance as well, and so when I was looking at that. 00:28:37
And that. 00:28:41
And that's one reason why you hear that a lot, so much. It's in a comprehensive plan. 00:28:43
Date and so. 00:28:49
When you were done, you look at that. 00:28:51
And we were looking at. 00:28:54
What duty that he's engaging in. 00:28:55
So we came up with a good glitch and. 00:28:58
And the closest equivalent that we're turning. 00:29:00
That we could continue. 00:29:03
Well, I did pay the legal protection in the back. 00:29:05
So that's how we picked it. It was kind of arbitrary in the end. 00:29:10
Same duty. That's what they're doing. That's what we're doing. 00:29:14
So that's how and and Matt, I want you to understand that Denise, this is Denise. Matt, I want you to understand I'm not the 00:29:18
debating that at all. 00:29:23
I do agree. 00:29:28
With the uh. 00:29:29
That was going with the Wis. 00:29:32
Recommendations. Move that to a Pat B. 00:29:35
I just think we should. 00:29:38
Consider the range of salaries within the Pat B. 00:29:40
So that that's. 00:29:45
That's where I'm at. 00:29:46
OK. Any other discussion? 00:29:50
We'll take a vote. 00:29:53
Go from there I guess. 00:29:56
Any other discussion? 00:29:57
All in favor say aye. 00:30:00
All opposed. 00:30:03
Hi. Hi. 00:30:04
Like that passes. 00:30:07
Then just one follow up question. 00:30:09
What do I do now? 00:30:13
Michelle and I'll take it from there. I just want to make sure that we're doing whatever we need to. 00:30:15
I appreciate your time and your concern. 00:30:21
Thank you, ma'am. Thank you, ma'am. 00:30:24
So 1 clarification point was the effective date. So can we assume that it's going to be effective with the next full pay period? 00:30:27
Is everybody agreeing with that? It starts with the next full pay period. 00:30:36
OK. Thank you. 00:30:41
Diana, you're up again as Diana. 00:30:46
OK, so. 00:30:53
There was some uncertainty due to a new grandbaby as to whether or not HR was going to be here this evening, so I've told her I 00:30:55
would. 00:30:58
Cover the line transfer. 00:31:01
So it's just a line transfer. 00:31:04
Out of office supplies and into drug drug testing services. 00:31:06
Move to approve 7A. 00:31:11
2nd. 00:31:13
Motion A second for seven A. Any further discussion? 00:31:14
All in favor say aye aye. 00:31:19
Any opposed? 00:31:21
That carries. 00:31:22
So 7B has a little bit of an explanation along with it. 00:31:25
This fund is generated using the rent monies collected on what is commonly known as the Chase Building. 00:31:28
Currently and it is utilized to pay any service contracts and or utilities out of that building. 00:31:35
So obviously we didn't own that building during budget season last year in order this fund even exists. So no budget was. 00:31:41
Created or approved at that time. 00:31:48
Once we took possession of the building and started. 00:31:52
Having utility bills roll in, we weren't certain what bills were going to be coming in, so no true budget had ever been generated 00:31:55
for the maintenance of that building. I worked with the commissioners office, Suzanna World. 00:32:00
Last month that we created a budget, now this the the appropriation amount total. 00:32:06
The 82168 actually also already includes monies that have already. 00:32:11
Been spent out of this fund for maintenance. This year we'll actually be going back in our office and correcting claims to reflect 00:32:15
those costs. 00:32:19
The current balance of. 00:32:23
I don't remember what it was. Fifty $56,930. 00:32:26
We collect in the neighborhood of about $20,000 a month in rent monies. So even if a portion of this wasn't already going to kind 00:32:30
of. 00:32:34
Have already been spent and isn't included in that $56,000 balance. 00:32:38
We would make up the amount by May so. 00:32:42
I know that it shows that we're appropriating more than that's currently in there, but. 00:32:45
We're not, actually. 00:32:49
So it's just so that we can actually have them in the right lines. 00:32:54
Is there a motion for 7B? 00:32:58
I'll make a motion for 7B. 00:33:00
Second motion in a second. Any further questions for Mr. 00:33:02
So you said the rents are 20,000? 00:33:06
In the neighborhood. 00:33:08
So 56 in two. 00:33:10
20 still don't equal 82. 00:33:11
We haven't collected for April or May and actually part of this $82,000 has actually already been expended and no longer reflects 00:33:13
the balance in that fund, OK. 00:33:17
This might be a silly question too on the utilities. Are we responsible for the utilities for our attendant? 00:33:22
I am uncertain. 00:33:29
That would be a question for. 00:33:31
Commissioner's Office, I think that as a whole, we provide everything for the building and then they pay rent. Gotcha. 00:33:33
My understanding. 00:33:38
I believe it's 1M. 00:33:40
Oh, OK. 00:33:43
Any further questions? 00:33:44
On 7B, all in favor say aye. 00:33:46
Aye, any opposed? 00:33:49
7C is a line transfer for EMA. 00:33:52
It's decreasing emergency planning and increasing training. 00:33:55
And it is in. 00:33:58
One of their grant funds. 00:34:01
8107. 00:34:02
Move to approve 7C. 00:34:05
Can I get motion in a second for seven? See any questions. 00:34:06
Discussion. 00:34:11
All in favor say aye aye. Any opposed? 00:34:13
That carries. 00:34:16
And I believe Judge Flanagan came back in the building. There was some question after. 00:34:19
She was up here concerning. 00:34:24
Her line transfer I think that the intent was not to have. 00:34:26
The line transfer for any kind of maintenance. 00:34:30
Currently, yeah. 00:34:33
Yet that was down the road. Her actual need is her. 00:34:35
Gal line, which actually is in the 3000 series. So this line transfer shouldn't have even actually come before council tonight. It 00:34:39
should have been one that was handled inside my office and that may or may not have been a miscommunication error on our part and. 00:34:46
We sincerely apologize, but we wanted to clear up the record so that everyone understood. 00:34:53
That these monies were not being moved for. 00:34:57
Room repairs currently they do need to be removed. They do need to be moved into the GAL which is the guardian ad litem budget. 00:34:59
I will tell you that when it comes to. 00:35:06
The last couple years working with Judge Flanagan in her budgets. 00:35:08
We do this all year long because the Council asks us to freeze the budget. 00:35:12
Every year and only request what we've requested previously. So every year they're moving monies into their GAL budget instead of 00:35:16
actually putting it there at the beginning where they need it. 00:35:21
So this year a consideration towards that would be nice, even if. 00:35:26
Even if we're required to stick within the same budgets again and have a six year old budget running through this county, allowing 00:35:31
the departments to move those monies where they're most needed would be very helpful for them in the coming year. 00:35:36
And I just wanted, I didn't want rumors to be flying around that I'm renovating fence. 00:35:43
And it does need to be done and all are invited to see it, but. 00:35:53
I was surprised to see that on there yet, since I hadn't finalized those plans and I wanted to make sure. 00:35:57
We are well aware of the maintenance. 00:36:07
Needs of that building. 00:36:10
Today, Danny just asked me and I. 00:36:12
Do they need to unwind that vote? 00:36:14
That they just had. 00:36:16
Probably I would say yes, just as a point of order. 00:36:20
Go ahead and make a motion to. 00:36:25
Set aside. 00:36:26
What? What agenda item number was that 2? Is it 2A? 00:36:29
2A. 00:36:34
I move that we. 00:36:35
Set aside. 00:36:37
Previous vote on agenda item. 00:36:38
Two way. 00:36:41
Motion in a second to set aside. 00:36:43
To a Any other discussion on that? 00:36:45
All in favor say aye aye. 00:36:49
Any opposed? 00:36:51
That carries your. 00:36:53
You're fine. 8A is Floyd County transfers for tonight. 00:36:55
Entertain a motion on that. 00:36:59
That is going to be affected. 00:37:02
Because it's for transfers. 00:37:06
So 8A minus. 00:37:10
Agenda item 2A. 00:37:12
Please. 00:37:15
Please state your motion that way. 00:37:17
I move that we approve 8. 00:37:20
Minus agenda. 00:37:24
Item 2A. 00:37:26
I'll second that we have a motion in a second. 00:37:30
For the 202505 ordinance for transfer. 00:37:34
Any discussion? 00:37:38
All in favor say aye. 00:37:40
Opposed that carries. 00:37:42
8B is the resolution 20/25/01 for the purchase of the property of Grant Line Rd. for the Health. 00:37:45
Department. 00:37:50
No, I mean I don't. 00:37:56
I reviewed it. 00:37:58
On the legal side, there's nothing unusual there. There's it's just forming practice pursuant to the statute. 00:38:01
It's a resolution, not an ordinance, so it's really it's asking for a sense of the council whether or not this is the direction 00:38:07
the council wishes to proceed. 00:38:10
I moved to approve. 00:38:18
8B. 00:38:19
2nd. 00:38:21
We have a motion and a second for 8B. Any discussion? 00:38:22
Hearing none all in favor say aye. 00:38:28
Any opposed? 00:38:31
All right, carries. 00:38:32
Denise, do you have any committee reports or anything to? 00:38:36
Add. 00:38:39
She lives. She might have. 00:38:44
Did she OK? 00:38:47
Mr. Tran. 00:38:49
Happening, Mr. Robert. 00:38:50
Mr. Dubois. 00:38:52
I have a couple items. 00:38:54
Well, one just. 00:38:59
I was attended City Council meeting last night and I would I guess you could say as it said the. 00:39:02
First fruits of our. 00:39:07
EMS tax. 00:39:09
Public safety tax. 00:39:11
Was put in fourth last night they bought a new fire truck and some. 00:39:13
Police equipment. 00:39:17
Fire cars. 00:39:19
Some would say that they may have should have budgeted better in the past to be able to do that. 00:39:20
But they used public safety money to do that last night and. 00:39:26
It's probably good for the city. So that's kind of the first fruits of. 00:39:29
Of our tax increase. 00:39:33
And of course we're. 00:39:35
Going to deal with our contracts and then another just a statement from me. 00:39:37
Council can do whatever they want, but. 00:39:41
This if this SP one is it looks like it's heading down the tracks, it's going to be disastrous for. 00:39:44
Local units of government. 00:39:50
And I would propose. 00:39:52
When we get that final direction, we schedule some workshops because we're going to make some serious choices. 00:39:54
I mean going forward. 00:39:59
And. 00:40:01
I guess what the? 00:40:03
State legislature wants us to do. They want us. They want us to compel to cut. I mean, I guess they. 00:40:05
We were not. 00:40:10
Efficient as we should be. And we gotta make cuts because. 00:40:11
I would propose that's what we're going to have to do. 00:40:15
So. 00:40:18
I've said it from the from the very beginning, the very first day of the session when they proposed SP1 because it's had all kind 00:40:19
of enumerations but. 00:40:24
I'll just go on the record say it's going to be disastrous for all units of local government, schools, libraries. 00:40:29
Parks in some cases. 00:40:35
Townships. 00:40:37
Municipalities, local government, I mean county councils, so. 00:40:39
And like I say, I would if once we get there. 00:40:45
Final direction. 00:40:47
I would propose we have some workshops. 00:40:48
Of what? How, what direction we're going to head in. 00:40:51
I would just add. 00:40:54
Tongue in cheek. 00:40:56
The state's going to hand us the tools they as they say to. 00:40:57
To handle our budget. We all know what that means. 00:41:01
And we've been down that track and. 00:41:03
It's not one that we. 00:41:06
Travel again anytime soon so. 00:41:08
Umm, on a lighter note, I would just like to announce the arrival of my granddaughter this morning. 00:41:12
Oh, congratulations, picture on the big screen. 00:41:16
I've got plenty of pictures, let me tell you. 00:41:19
It was a very long night, 5:14 AM this morning, so. 00:41:22
Running on the. 00:41:26
Not a lot of sleep, but. 00:41:28
6 lbs six oz 20 inches, all finger toes. 00:41:29
Healthy as can be. 00:41:33
She's amazing. 00:41:34
So anybody from the public? 00:41:36
I'll entertain a motion to adjourn. 00:41:41
So moved all in favor. 00:41:43
We are eject. 00:41:45

I approved. 00:01:53
Move to approve minutes second. 00:01:55
Motion a second for. 00:01:57
Our meeting minutes from March 11th. 00:01:59
All in favor say aye aye. 00:02:03
Any opposed? 00:02:05
That carries. Is there anyone from the public tonight that would like to speak before we get started? 00:02:06
All right. 00:02:15
What was your chance? 00:02:16
Own business. 00:02:18
IT, Gary is. 00:02:20
Gary called me. He's not going to be able to be here tonight. 00:02:23
This is the situation that we talked about with the upgrade of. 00:02:25
The hardware for. 00:02:31
Courts and clerk. 00:02:32
I move to approve 1A old business 1A. 00:02:39
As advertised. 00:02:41
2nd. 00:02:43
Sorry, I lost my spot. We have a motion, a second for one, a for. 00:02:47
I guess it is for software as well. 00:02:51
Coming from the Riverboat fund. 00:02:56
Any discussion on that item? 00:02:58
All in favor say aye aye. Any opposed? 00:03:02
Black carries. 00:03:07
New business judge Granger. 00:03:09
Good evening, you're going to see me multiple times this evening I'm covering for. 00:03:14
A few people who couldn't make it. 00:03:17
So, the first being Judge Granger. 00:03:20
This first one 1A is an additional appropriation on one for grant funds. 00:03:24
Out of 9176. 00:03:30
Move to approve 1A. 00:03:33
Second motion and 2nd for one a any. 00:03:35
Questions. 00:03:38
Any discussion? 00:03:40
All in favor say aye. 00:03:41
Aye, any opposed? 00:03:42
Red carrots. 00:03:44
1B is a line transfer within her general fund budget, just moving it from miscellaneous equipment to law books. 00:03:46
Have no additional appropriation, just money that was already approved as part of our budget. We're just moving it around where it 00:03:56
can be spent. 00:03:59
I'll move to approve one. 00:04:03
As advertised. 00:04:04
2nd. 00:04:06
Motion in a second for 1B. Any discussion? 00:04:07
All in favor say aye. 00:04:11
Aye, all opposed. 00:04:14
Sam, Sam. 00:04:15
Judge Plain. 00:04:18
You're up. 00:04:20
So these would be. 00:04:23
To move money that's already. 00:04:26
Appropriated my glasses on. 00:04:28
You've got decrease of witness and depositions and law books and interpreter and increase miscellaneous equipment. 00:04:31
I think they are being trained. 00:04:37
I don't. 00:04:43
It's already appropriated, I just need to move it around to pay the. 00:04:44
The pen. 00:04:47
I remind you every time I come, the pennies the Magistrate Court cost you all. 00:04:48
So that's the request move to approve to a second. 00:04:53
We have a motion a second for two. Any questions for judge miscellaneous equipment. 00:04:58
What do you want to purchase I guess? 00:05:04
Well. 00:05:07
It has to go. 00:05:09
Here's where we find ourselves in the Magistrate Board. 00:05:12
It is literally. 00:05:15
Wallpaper and the walls are literally. 00:05:17
Coming down so the idea is to. 00:05:20
Put the wallpaper back on the walls. We've talked. 00:05:25
Building people and to make it actually habitable. 00:05:28
Because I don't think we're going anywhere for a while. 00:05:31
Why don't be so negative? 00:05:34
Judge. 00:05:37
But so it's. 00:05:39
It's for upkeep of your office. 00:05:43
Rough, and we're just trying to make do with what we have. 00:05:48
I gave away my. 00:05:51
Renovation budget and other things years ago so. 00:05:52
That's the request. 00:05:57
Any other questions for Judge Flanagan? 00:05:59
All in favor of 2A say aye. 00:06:02
Any opposed? 00:06:05
That carries the next one is mine is I can stay up here, Diana can do it so. 00:06:06
This is. 00:06:12
This is right, OK. 00:06:15
So. 00:06:17
We created from the opioid money that was approved by the commissioners and by the Council. 00:06:18
For money to hire a truancy abatement coordinator out of juvenile probation. 00:06:26
She was hired. 00:06:32
We were given that money. 00:06:34
Ended up not having to have her because she's already retired. 00:06:36
Higher pay, so the money that was already appropriated. 00:06:39
We are asking to create lines and see if. 00:06:43
That money? 00:06:48
That would have paid for perp out of the opioid grant money we've already been given. 00:06:49
To pay for incentives and miscellaneous supplies for the children. 00:06:53
And the students are in the program. 00:06:57
So I don't know. 00:07:00
So this money is not additional appropriations necessarily to the grant itself. That is an additional appropriation to this year's 00:07:03
fiscal budget due to the fact that Curb was not included in this year's fiscal budget because they knew they would need 1/4. So 00:07:08
it's not extra money from the grant that was already approved. 00:07:13
It's just extra money in this year's fiscal budget, that's all it is. 00:07:18
So they gave me a lump sum of money to spread over 2 years. 00:07:22
Or for this person got retired or retired for some. I don't have to pay her so I'm asking to move the money to use it. 00:07:25
Import incentives. 00:07:32
And this link is supplies. 00:07:33
If you wanted a little background on the program, there's already 30 kids in it. 00:07:37
To children are going to graduate in Albany this year that were actually failing out. 00:07:41
3rd from 8th grade in Hazelwood and so there's already results from the program. 00:07:46
Beautiful. 00:07:52
Money for some incentives and some basic supplies for them that they need to get to school. 00:07:53
I make a motion to approve 3A. 00:07:58
Zagat, we have a motion and a second for 3A. Any further questions or discussion? 00:08:00
All in favor say aye. 00:08:06
Aye, any opposed? 00:08:08
I'm curious. 00:08:10
Hi, I'm Charlotte this evening as well. 00:08:13
Might as well be sure. 00:08:15
This is an additional appropriation from one of her grant funds. 00:08:17
So it's in the 8116. 00:08:21
Which is the H5 N 1 supplemental fund? 00:08:24
Move to approve for a as advertised. 00:08:31
I'll second. 00:08:36
We have a motion in a second for for a. 00:08:36
Any questions or discussion? 00:08:39
So this grants already been received. She's just looking for home. 00:08:41
Putting it in line so she can spend it. 00:08:44
OK. Anyone else? 00:08:47
All in favor say aye. 00:08:51
Aye, any opposed? 00:08:52
That carries. 00:08:54
Mr. Creevy. 00:08:56
I have several here for you. A is. 00:09:02
An additional appropriation request to 9124. 00:09:05
Yeah, it's been out there. Ready, Grant 1. Umm. 00:09:10
Ready 1 Grant This is for the construction. 00:09:14
Of the red wire building. 00:09:17
300. 00:09:19
1425. 00:09:20
With construction what? 00:09:24
The red wire. The red wire building at a noble part. 00:09:26
Founded through Ratty Times. 00:09:30
I'll make a motion to approve 5A. 00:09:35
Second motion and a second for five. Any questions for Nick? 00:09:38
It just the only thing I looked at, it says utilities on here. That's what I was. 00:09:43
Initially that went out. I don't know if that was a typo or a copy and paste there or something. 00:09:47
But yeah, it's for construction. 00:09:55
Any further questions? 00:09:59
All in favor of 5A say aye. 00:10:01
Any opposed? 00:10:03
That carries. 00:10:05
Right, the next item is additional appropriation, the new line item for in 12/07. 00:10:06
For permit compliance platform and request is 38,000. 00:10:14
That is to replace the. 00:10:20
Permitting software that we use now. 00:10:22
For code compliance and. 00:10:27
Enforcement. 00:10:30
We use a couple of called Central Square, their contracts coming up. 00:10:32
We don't like them and so we would like to use a different. 00:10:36
We're building this one. 00:10:40
This has no subscription fees. 00:10:42
In the long run, this is probably going to save us money. 00:10:44
I don't know, but we need to kind of build it out first. 00:10:47
Move to approve 3B as advertised. 00:10:53
That wasn't 3, it's 5B. 00:10:55
Is there a second? 00:11:00
I'll second it. 00:11:01
We have a motion in a second for 5B. Any other questions for Nick? 00:11:02
Other than the fact that you don't like the current one, what what's their cost? 00:11:06
The annual subscription subscription costs about 15,000. 00:11:10
This one has has no subscription fee. We we do hire oh hmm, to be kind of on call so hourly rate if it's. 00:11:16
We have issues. 00:11:24
Any further questions? 00:11:27
All in favor of 5B say aye aye. 00:11:30
Any opposed? 00:11:33
That carries. 00:11:34
C is an additional appropriation request. 00:11:37
For the red wire. 00:11:40
576,896. 00:11:44
From 4509. 00:11:52
So the current unappropriated fund balance shown is not accurate. 00:11:56
Right. Get ahead of that. 00:12:03
Question. Yeah, Thank you. 00:12:04
We we had some large. 00:12:09
Large. 00:12:12
Disbursements from our bond. 00:12:13
As well as. 00:12:16
Ready one funds go into that. 00:12:18
I have. 00:12:21
914. 00:12:24
Available. 00:12:27
Diana can check my phone numbers on that. 00:12:30
OK. 00:12:35
Thank you. 00:12:38
So I do have a question. 00:12:42
So. So we did. 00:12:48
We didn't approve. 00:12:51
Appropriation for 318. 00:12:53
From Ready. 00:12:56
And and this is. 00:12:58
From our funds. 00:13:04
This is wait. 00:13:06
I don't know where this money's coming from. Is it if? 00:13:07
Revenue from Tiffany. 00:13:11
Tiff Bond, Denise. 00:13:14
Revenue from a tip bond. 00:13:15
So we're already receiving that much money from the TIF? 00:13:18
Or it's a bond. 00:13:22
It's a bond that we secured with the TIF money, right? Yes, correct. 00:13:25
OK. And the total bond amount was? How much? 00:13:31
I don't have that. 00:13:38
Today. 00:13:39
And then we have an annual payment that we're going to have to make on that bond from the tip that we're. 00:13:44
Getting once the building is. 00:13:50
Correct. And this, this yes, that's correct. And this TIFF is is for that. 00:13:53
Building loans. 00:13:58
So once it comes online. 00:14:00
It should pay back that revenue because. 00:14:02
It's the only project in that TIF currently. 00:14:06
Yeah, I get it. 00:14:10
I guess I was. 00:14:12
I don't remember. 00:14:13
I assume that we did do this. We did approve that bond. 00:14:15
With the TIF money, but I don't remember that, so I don't remember how much the bond was. 00:14:21
Fairly easily. 00:14:27
OK, so. 00:14:29
How much is the county? 00:14:33
Paying on this? 00:14:36
Red wire building. 00:14:38
And how much is red wire paying? What's the split? 00:14:41
So they're, they're leasing it from us. We, we will own the building. 00:14:44
So they will need. 00:14:48
So we're building the whole building and they're leasing it from. 00:14:51
We are the redevelopment. 00:14:55
Yes, the Redevelopment Commission will. 00:14:57
OK, I'm I'm remembering this now. 00:15:00
OK. 00:15:02
OK. 00:15:04
I'll look into that more. We don't need to talk about this tonight. 00:15:05
OK. Thank you. 00:15:08
You're welcome. 00:15:10
We are looking for motion for 5C. 00:15:11
Motion to Approve 5. 00:15:19
Is there a second? 00:15:22
Second, have a motion and a second for five. See any further discussions for Nick on this one. 00:15:24
So between these two line items, will that cover all of the construction expenses? 00:15:30
I'd have to check the numbers. It's over $2,000,000. 00:15:37
Yeah, it's I just this is first phase. It's it's a, it's a big building. 00:15:40
That's fairly impressive. 00:15:46
Any other questions on this one? 00:15:50
All in favor of 5C say aye. 00:15:52
Aye, any opposed? 00:15:54
That carries. 00:15:56
All right, the final item I have is. 00:15:58
Additional appropriation The wrong item for the King Bridge Fund, 1135. 00:16:01
This is for Bridge 51 requesting $50,000. 00:16:06
Again, that unappropriated fund balance. 00:16:12
Is not the number I have. 00:16:16
Because this was advertised prior to. 00:16:19
Yes. 00:16:22
So I have three 84156. 00:16:24
156. 00:16:31
As Diana looks that up. 00:16:33
To. 00:16:35
So I have nearly $400,000 in this. 00:16:40
This fund. 00:16:42
Is there a motion to approve 5D? 00:16:44
Motion approved. 5D as advertised. 00:16:48
Motion in a second for 5D any. 00:16:51
Other discussions for Nick. We all know Bridge 51, blacks and male. 00:16:54
So what is this? Some engineering? This is actually. 00:16:58
More specifically for the damn. 00:17:02
OK, the commissioners did that last week. 00:17:05
We entered into a contract. 00:17:08
With Ecosystems Connections class commissioners reading. 00:17:12
Gentleman there is pursuing. 00:17:17
Working it through FHWA and the. 00:17:20
Necessary permitting to get approvals to remove that. 00:17:23
So that we can. 00:17:26
Do the work necessary to open. 00:17:28
The current bridge 51. 00:17:30
Total cost on the dam removal is $200,000. 00:17:33
We are. 00:17:37
Leveraging. 00:17:40
150,000 that others. 00:17:41
Committing to that project. 00:17:44
We will not pay more than that. 00:17:47
This um. 00:17:49
We all know it's been going on forever, but was that dam going to come out in the construction phase? It was not going to. 00:17:52
Part of the issue why it's taking so long. 00:17:58
As part of the new project, it was not included. 00:18:03
We didn't. We didn't. 00:18:06
I was going to the assumption it was going to be. 00:18:07
It was not included to be taken out. So when we did all the reviews, the federal reviews. 00:18:10
The assumption that was there, so. 00:18:15
Going back and changing that, we are concerned that that will. 00:18:18
Mess up the timeline. Require new environmental approval. 00:18:23
Which would be years. 00:18:26
So that's the issue we have. 00:18:28
With that where the shipment that dam. 00:18:31
Hopeful that it won't extend the timeline since most of them are being taken out. 00:18:38
All around the state. 00:18:42
Anyway, as a recommendation, so. 00:18:44
Did we get an emotion on this? 00:18:48
Yeah, OK. 00:18:49
Any further? Any further questions or discussion? 00:18:51
I guess we could hope he'd be gone when the floodwaters resume. 00:18:55
It's just, gosh. 00:18:58
It's already been breached. Maybe it's just gone. 00:19:00
That would be helpful, but. 00:19:03
This bunch of rocks? Probably not likely, yeah. 00:19:04
All right, all in favor of 5D say aye. 00:19:08
Aye, any opposed? 00:19:12
That carries and Mr. Creepy before you take off. 00:19:13
Give us there were some questions this week. 00:19:18
About the zoning of. 00:19:21
The new health department building. 00:19:23
And we are. 00:19:25
In compliance with the current zoning, yes. I have verified with the city that. 00:19:27
That is their highway. We're in a commercial zone. 00:19:32
Which government services are permitted use in that zone? So. 00:19:36
I believe that we are. 00:19:41
In the clear and whatever use that we do. 00:19:43
Thank you very much. 00:19:46
Mr. Lorch. 00:19:52
Good evening. 00:19:59
Good evening. 00:20:00
I'm here to take a reclassification. 00:20:01
Of one of our employees, he's an administrative etcetera. 00:20:05
To elevate. 00:20:09
I think it would be hugely beneficial to our Africa. 00:20:12
Have a better not know many law athletes if they don't have one. 00:20:15
And so I think this is a. 00:20:20
But. 00:20:22
We organize a lot of Dustin's acting on a few units. 00:20:24
To go and. 00:20:27
We got pretty lucky with a high last year. 00:20:29
And she picked up. 00:20:33
The administrator said that pipe pretty quickly. 00:20:35
And I wanted to take on more, do more, and so we've got training so we can basically training it in flash ball. 00:20:37
On what? 00:20:45
How to do that? You've really come a long way and. 00:20:48
Basically performing at the building at this point, so. 00:20:51
I thought it was appropriate to come. 00:20:56
And. 00:20:58
Classification and. 00:21:00
Without the according to pay rates as well. 00:21:02
So. 00:21:05
Mr. Lords came in. 00:21:07
Last week. 00:21:09
And presented the information. So there's there's several moving parts that go. 00:21:10
With this request so this position. 00:21:17
Was a was a backfill. 00:21:21
And your new hire? 00:21:23
Has taken on some more responsibility. 00:21:25
This is also a position that gets a lot of reimbursement. 00:21:28
And it's a very complicated. 00:21:32
Scale so. 00:21:35
I'll try to give it to you as simple as. 00:21:38
As I can. 00:21:40
And if. 00:21:42
If I get parts of this wrong or whatever, jump in but. 00:21:43
The if this if this reclassification is granted this evening. 00:21:48
75%. 00:21:54
Of the salary will be reimbursed at a 40% rate. 00:21:56
And then the other 25% will be reimbursed. 00:22:03
At a different rate. 00:22:07
It's only. 00:22:08
Because African peoples and the other lady was. 00:22:11
But that's where the most at 40%. 00:22:15
The other app is generally administered and then. 00:22:20
And we agreed to take on. 00:22:26
To data collection. 00:22:28
Connection. 00:22:32
Understand in exchange within. 00:22:33
Thanks. Play 50% of that. 00:22:37
25 to 10. 00:22:41
Right, so. 00:22:43
The state has started a program and they they. 00:22:44
Ask counties to start. 00:22:47
Reporting data on misdemeanors and Floyd County jumped right on board and is getting reimbursed. 00:22:49
We were one of both. 00:22:54
Participated in that. 00:22:57
And with the equivalent of people doing that as soon as it became available. 00:22:58
And that one was alive. They are looking at us. 00:23:02
At the top. At the top contender. 00:23:05
To be one of the cloud pilot county at the 20. 00:23:07
That have applied. 00:23:11
To that commitment reinvented. 00:23:12
We should do about that in June. 00:23:15
So later this. 00:23:16
Summer, June or July. 00:23:17
June will be announced. 00:23:20
Which counties get to start that? 00:23:22
Or continue with the pilot program? 00:23:24
For the misdemeanor reimbursement, so. 00:23:27
With us being one of the first in. 00:23:30
Yeah. And we, we help them develop this budget that they use. 00:23:32
To track everything as it. 00:23:38
We want to **** people. 00:23:40
We were very helpful with that with them and. 00:23:42
So we have a great relationship with them. 00:23:46
Then that's going to hopefully they divide and then. 00:23:48
Will you get out of county back with Utah? 00:23:51
By my calculations at least another 100,000. 00:23:55
Coming back. 00:23:58
So so. 00:24:00
Short term. 00:24:02
$9000 Ask. 00:24:05
Total after everything's boiled down the reimbursements. 00:24:07
Than what what it would be under the. 00:24:16
But. 00:24:19
On annual basis. 00:24:20
After the embodiment. 00:24:22
It would be just over 8000. 00:24:24
Even though the tag. 00:24:27
15 It would only amount to a net cost to the county of 813 to. 00:24:29
I'll make a motion to approve 6A. 00:24:38
2nd. 00:24:41
We have a motion and a second for 6A. 00:24:42
Is there any other? 00:24:44
Questions for Mr. Lourke It's insignificant, but. 00:24:46
Include benefits, which would be. 00:24:49
Additional, but it's not significant, it's about $3000 more correct, little over 3000. 00:24:51
Yeah, that that number was. 00:24:56
Correct, that number was salary alone. 00:24:58
Yeah, I think you know. 00:25:00
We didn't really have a recommendation. I wanted to get this before the full. 00:25:04
Council but. 00:25:09
For me the. 00:25:10
The longer term benefit is the. 00:25:12
The data collection and the reimbursement from for that which will far exceed. 00:25:14
The cost? 00:25:19
That we're paying out. Denise, did you have something? 00:25:21
Heard the mic. 00:25:23
Well, I I did look at this a little bit and it she's going from a a calm. 00:25:26
A comment all the way up to a pack B. 00:25:34
Which is a big job. I mean, she's going from 40,800 all the way up. 00:25:37
To 55,000 which is the midpoint of a cat B. 00:25:43
I was wondering if we shouldn't go to the the the range for a pat B is 47,600 all the way up to 4058 thousand. 00:25:48
200. 00:25:59
My recommendation is we go with. 00:26:00
Low range of a pet B. 00:26:03
To start off with and then read. 00:26:07
Visit this at budget time. It's just a big raise. 00:26:09
Well, it is. I don't. I don't disagree that it is. This was also. 00:26:14
Submitted to Wisconsin their analysis as well, and that's the. 00:26:18
That's the level that they put the position at. 00:26:22
Right. And I'm not debating. 00:26:26
The level I'm not debating the pet be I'm just saying let's go to the. 00:26:29
That the range of that is 47,658 thousand. 00:26:33
Why don't we start with the 47,600? That rather than going to the mid. 00:26:39
It doesn't. It's not a lot of money. 00:26:47
Especially since we're being reimbursed but. 00:26:50
We're trying to be concerned, we're trying to be fiscal conservatives here, and I just think we need to think about all of these 00:26:54
things just a little bit. 00:26:57
Don't don't disagree what she's what she's saying. 00:27:02
Matt is. 00:27:05
There's a range for Pat B and she she would rather start at the at the low end of that and then. 00:27:07
And move up from there. 00:27:14
Our motion is for. 00:27:21
The advertised amount. 00:27:22
We can take a vote on that and if it doesn't pass then we can. 00:27:27
We can reopen for. 00:27:29
Different level. 00:27:34
Different motions. So is there any further discussion, discussion or questions for Matt Danny? I'd rather just redo the motions 00:27:35
because I don't want it to look like I'm not going to vote for that. 00:27:41
But I'd rather vote for it at the right level. 00:27:48
I understand the nice and that's up to the person who made the motion so. 00:27:50
I'm fine with the motion they want. They want to take a vote as is. 00:27:54
So OK. 00:27:57
Any other questions? Well, that's not a question. I'm coming with Denise. I think she makes some good points here and I've. 00:28:00
Once you've explained this to me, I'm I'm in support of this as well. 00:28:05
But I think Denise makes a very valid point what we're talking about these salary ranges with everybody else and. 00:28:10
All the money we put in these salary studies just. 00:28:16
We should be more consistent with this. 00:28:19
So one of the things that. 00:28:22
We look at a lot of time. 00:28:24
Because the Commission Brexit to. 00:28:27
Is actually part of our comprehensive plan. 00:28:29
That they. 00:28:31
Point Yeah, so that not only applies to the attorneys, but the. 00:28:34
Dance as well, and so when I was looking at that. 00:28:37
And that. 00:28:41
And that's one reason why you hear that a lot, so much. It's in a comprehensive plan. 00:28:43
Date and so. 00:28:49
When you were done, you look at that. 00:28:51
And we were looking at. 00:28:54
What duty that he's engaging in. 00:28:55
So we came up with a good glitch and. 00:28:58
And the closest equivalent that we're turning. 00:29:00
That we could continue. 00:29:03
Well, I did pay the legal protection in the back. 00:29:05
So that's how we picked it. It was kind of arbitrary in the end. 00:29:10
Same duty. That's what they're doing. That's what we're doing. 00:29:14
So that's how and and Matt, I want you to understand that Denise, this is Denise. Matt, I want you to understand I'm not the 00:29:18
debating that at all. 00:29:23
I do agree. 00:29:28
With the uh. 00:29:29
That was going with the Wis. 00:29:32
Recommendations. Move that to a Pat B. 00:29:35
I just think we should. 00:29:38
Consider the range of salaries within the Pat B. 00:29:40
So that that's. 00:29:45
That's where I'm at. 00:29:46
OK. Any other discussion? 00:29:50
We'll take a vote. 00:29:53
Go from there I guess. 00:29:56
Any other discussion? 00:29:57
All in favor say aye. 00:30:00
All opposed. 00:30:03
Hi. Hi. 00:30:04
Like that passes. 00:30:07
Then just one follow up question. 00:30:09
What do I do now? 00:30:13
Michelle and I'll take it from there. I just want to make sure that we're doing whatever we need to. 00:30:15
I appreciate your time and your concern. 00:30:21
Thank you, ma'am. Thank you, ma'am. 00:30:24
So 1 clarification point was the effective date. So can we assume that it's going to be effective with the next full pay period? 00:30:27
Is everybody agreeing with that? It starts with the next full pay period. 00:30:36
OK. Thank you. 00:30:41
Diana, you're up again as Diana. 00:30:46
OK, so. 00:30:53
There was some uncertainty due to a new grandbaby as to whether or not HR was going to be here this evening, so I've told her I 00:30:55
would. 00:30:58
Cover the line transfer. 00:31:01
So it's just a line transfer. 00:31:04
Out of office supplies and into drug drug testing services. 00:31:06
Move to approve 7A. 00:31:11
2nd. 00:31:13
Motion A second for seven A. Any further discussion? 00:31:14
All in favor say aye aye. 00:31:19
Any opposed? 00:31:21
That carries. 00:31:22
So 7B has a little bit of an explanation along with it. 00:31:25
This fund is generated using the rent monies collected on what is commonly known as the Chase Building. 00:31:28
Currently and it is utilized to pay any service contracts and or utilities out of that building. 00:31:35
So obviously we didn't own that building during budget season last year in order this fund even exists. So no budget was. 00:31:41
Created or approved at that time. 00:31:48
Once we took possession of the building and started. 00:31:52
Having utility bills roll in, we weren't certain what bills were going to be coming in, so no true budget had ever been generated 00:31:55
for the maintenance of that building. I worked with the commissioners office, Suzanna World. 00:32:00
Last month that we created a budget, now this the the appropriation amount total. 00:32:06
The 82168 actually also already includes monies that have already. 00:32:11
Been spent out of this fund for maintenance. This year we'll actually be going back in our office and correcting claims to reflect 00:32:15
those costs. 00:32:19
The current balance of. 00:32:23
I don't remember what it was. Fifty $56,930. 00:32:26
We collect in the neighborhood of about $20,000 a month in rent monies. So even if a portion of this wasn't already going to kind 00:32:30
of. 00:32:34
Have already been spent and isn't included in that $56,000 balance. 00:32:38
We would make up the amount by May so. 00:32:42
I know that it shows that we're appropriating more than that's currently in there, but. 00:32:45
We're not, actually. 00:32:49
So it's just so that we can actually have them in the right lines. 00:32:54
Is there a motion for 7B? 00:32:58
I'll make a motion for 7B. 00:33:00
Second motion in a second. Any further questions for Mr. 00:33:02
So you said the rents are 20,000? 00:33:06
In the neighborhood. 00:33:08
So 56 in two. 00:33:10
20 still don't equal 82. 00:33:11
We haven't collected for April or May and actually part of this $82,000 has actually already been expended and no longer reflects 00:33:13
the balance in that fund, OK. 00:33:17
This might be a silly question too on the utilities. Are we responsible for the utilities for our attendant? 00:33:22
I am uncertain. 00:33:29
That would be a question for. 00:33:31
Commissioner's Office, I think that as a whole, we provide everything for the building and then they pay rent. Gotcha. 00:33:33
My understanding. 00:33:38
I believe it's 1M. 00:33:40
Oh, OK. 00:33:43
Any further questions? 00:33:44
On 7B, all in favor say aye. 00:33:46
Aye, any opposed? 00:33:49
7C is a line transfer for EMA. 00:33:52
It's decreasing emergency planning and increasing training. 00:33:55
And it is in. 00:33:58
One of their grant funds. 00:34:01
8107. 00:34:02
Move to approve 7C. 00:34:05
Can I get motion in a second for seven? See any questions. 00:34:06
Discussion. 00:34:11
All in favor say aye aye. Any opposed? 00:34:13
That carries. 00:34:16
And I believe Judge Flanagan came back in the building. There was some question after. 00:34:19
She was up here concerning. 00:34:24
Her line transfer I think that the intent was not to have. 00:34:26
The line transfer for any kind of maintenance. 00:34:30
Currently, yeah. 00:34:33
Yet that was down the road. Her actual need is her. 00:34:35
Gal line, which actually is in the 3000 series. So this line transfer shouldn't have even actually come before council tonight. It 00:34:39
should have been one that was handled inside my office and that may or may not have been a miscommunication error on our part and. 00:34:46
We sincerely apologize, but we wanted to clear up the record so that everyone understood. 00:34:53
That these monies were not being moved for. 00:34:57
Room repairs currently they do need to be removed. They do need to be moved into the GAL which is the guardian ad litem budget. 00:34:59
I will tell you that when it comes to. 00:35:06
The last couple years working with Judge Flanagan in her budgets. 00:35:08
We do this all year long because the Council asks us to freeze the budget. 00:35:12
Every year and only request what we've requested previously. So every year they're moving monies into their GAL budget instead of 00:35:16
actually putting it there at the beginning where they need it. 00:35:21
So this year a consideration towards that would be nice, even if. 00:35:26
Even if we're required to stick within the same budgets again and have a six year old budget running through this county, allowing 00:35:31
the departments to move those monies where they're most needed would be very helpful for them in the coming year. 00:35:36
And I just wanted, I didn't want rumors to be flying around that I'm renovating fence. 00:35:43
And it does need to be done and all are invited to see it, but. 00:35:53
I was surprised to see that on there yet, since I hadn't finalized those plans and I wanted to make sure. 00:35:57
We are well aware of the maintenance. 00:36:07
Needs of that building. 00:36:10
Today, Danny just asked me and I. 00:36:12
Do they need to unwind that vote? 00:36:14
That they just had. 00:36:16
Probably I would say yes, just as a point of order. 00:36:20
Go ahead and make a motion to. 00:36:25
Set aside. 00:36:26
What? What agenda item number was that 2? Is it 2A? 00:36:29
2A. 00:36:34
I move that we. 00:36:35
Set aside. 00:36:37
Previous vote on agenda item. 00:36:38
Two way. 00:36:41
Motion in a second to set aside. 00:36:43
To a Any other discussion on that? 00:36:45
All in favor say aye aye. 00:36:49
Any opposed? 00:36:51
That carries your. 00:36:53
You're fine. 8A is Floyd County transfers for tonight. 00:36:55
Entertain a motion on that. 00:36:59
That is going to be affected. 00:37:02
Because it's for transfers. 00:37:06
So 8A minus. 00:37:10
Agenda item 2A. 00:37:12
Please. 00:37:15
Please state your motion that way. 00:37:17
I move that we approve 8. 00:37:20
Minus agenda. 00:37:24
Item 2A. 00:37:26
I'll second that we have a motion in a second. 00:37:30
For the 202505 ordinance for transfer. 00:37:34
Any discussion? 00:37:38
All in favor say aye. 00:37:40
Opposed that carries. 00:37:42
8B is the resolution 20/25/01 for the purchase of the property of Grant Line Rd. for the Health. 00:37:45
Department. 00:37:50
No, I mean I don't. 00:37:56
I reviewed it. 00:37:58
On the legal side, there's nothing unusual there. There's it's just forming practice pursuant to the statute. 00:38:01
It's a resolution, not an ordinance, so it's really it's asking for a sense of the council whether or not this is the direction 00:38:07
the council wishes to proceed. 00:38:10
I moved to approve. 00:38:18
8B. 00:38:19
2nd. 00:38:21
We have a motion and a second for 8B. Any discussion? 00:38:22
Hearing none all in favor say aye. 00:38:28
Any opposed? 00:38:31
All right, carries. 00:38:32
Denise, do you have any committee reports or anything to? 00:38:36
Add. 00:38:39
She lives. She might have. 00:38:44
Did she OK? 00:38:47
Mr. Tran. 00:38:49
Happening, Mr. Robert. 00:38:50
Mr. Dubois. 00:38:52
I have a couple items. 00:38:54
Well, one just. 00:38:59
I was attended City Council meeting last night and I would I guess you could say as it said the. 00:39:02
First fruits of our. 00:39:07
EMS tax. 00:39:09
Public safety tax. 00:39:11
Was put in fourth last night they bought a new fire truck and some. 00:39:13
Police equipment. 00:39:17
Fire cars. 00:39:19
Some would say that they may have should have budgeted better in the past to be able to do that. 00:39:20
But they used public safety money to do that last night and. 00:39:26
It's probably good for the city. So that's kind of the first fruits of. 00:39:29
Of our tax increase. 00:39:33
And of course we're. 00:39:35
Going to deal with our contracts and then another just a statement from me. 00:39:37
Council can do whatever they want, but. 00:39:41
This if this SP one is it looks like it's heading down the tracks, it's going to be disastrous for. 00:39:44
Local units of government. 00:39:50
And I would propose. 00:39:52
When we get that final direction, we schedule some workshops because we're going to make some serious choices. 00:39:54
I mean going forward. 00:39:59
And. 00:40:01
I guess what the? 00:40:03
State legislature wants us to do. They want us. They want us to compel to cut. I mean, I guess they. 00:40:05
We were not. 00:40:10
Efficient as we should be. And we gotta make cuts because. 00:40:11
I would propose that's what we're going to have to do. 00:40:15
So. 00:40:18
I've said it from the from the very beginning, the very first day of the session when they proposed SP1 because it's had all kind 00:40:19
of enumerations but. 00:40:24
I'll just go on the record say it's going to be disastrous for all units of local government, schools, libraries. 00:40:29
Parks in some cases. 00:40:35
Townships. 00:40:37
Municipalities, local government, I mean county councils, so. 00:40:39
And like I say, I would if once we get there. 00:40:45
Final direction. 00:40:47
I would propose we have some workshops. 00:40:48
Of what? How, what direction we're going to head in. 00:40:51
I would just add. 00:40:54
Tongue in cheek. 00:40:56
The state's going to hand us the tools they as they say to. 00:40:57
To handle our budget. We all know what that means. 00:41:01
And we've been down that track and. 00:41:03
It's not one that we. 00:41:06
Travel again anytime soon so. 00:41:08
Umm, on a lighter note, I would just like to announce the arrival of my granddaughter this morning. 00:41:12
Oh, congratulations, picture on the big screen. 00:41:16
I've got plenty of pictures, let me tell you. 00:41:19
It was a very long night, 5:14 AM this morning, so. 00:41:22
Running on the. 00:41:26
Not a lot of sleep, but. 00:41:28
6 lbs six oz 20 inches, all finger toes. 00:41:29
Healthy as can be. 00:41:33
She's amazing. 00:41:34
So anybody from the public? 00:41:36
I'll entertain a motion to adjourn. 00:41:41
So moved all in favor. 00:41:43
We are eject. 00:41:45
