Put another 50 in the last week. 00:00:00
My reasons as to why I think they're appropriate and then have at. 00:00:03
To order the Floyd County Council organizational meeting for 2025. 00:00:07
January 14th, 5:30 PM. My name is Diana Topping, employee, County Auditor. If I could have all rise to the Pledge of Allegiance, 00:00:13
please. 00:00:17
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America. 00:00:24
To the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. 00:00:28
We have a full roll minus. 00:00:44
One council person this evening, I believe his flight is landing as we speak. Mr. Millies, he does have the ability to port in if 00:00:47
he gets connected and we're waiting to hear from him whether or not he'll be able to make it in. We do have the 1st order of 00:00:53
business this evening, which is the election of the County Council President. 00:00:59
Just for a point of order, we will take each nomination vote for them as is. 00:01:06
If the first nomination passes, then we won't be moving forward past that and we will be voting by roll. 00:01:13
And so at this time, I'll nominate Deal Danny short for President. 00:01:20
Nomination in the second for Danny Short, so we will take vote by roll. 00:01:29

Yes. 00:01:44
Yes. 00:01:45
No, and I want to explain myself I. 00:01:47
Cannot support Danny because of the vote that he made for the increased taxes at the at the end of last year I think. 00:01:52
It was. 00:02:03
Irresponsible. And it was three times or nearly three times what we needed to do. 00:02:07
