Tax revenue is 150,000 Now this is all. 2025-06-17 10:13:26
Only based off of these 17 residents. 2025-06-17 10:13:29
Living for one year and I think we've had. 2025-06-17 10:13:32
At least five that had crossed. 2025-06-17 10:13:35
A1 year mark and I'll probably be out with. 2025-06-17 10:13:38
Beyond one year. So it's a little bit more than that expect. 2025-06-17 10:13:41
Kind of driving up the longer they live here, but for. 2025-06-17 10:13:44
For all 17 maneuvers, 1.5 million in their first. 2025-06-17 10:13:47
Here, but for every dollar that the community your community. 2025-06-17 10:13:50
Is actually invested $16.29. 2025-06-17 10:13:53
Have been generated year one alone so your Floyd County. 2025-06-17 10:13:56
It's higher than the actual average in Indiana, which is. 2025-06-17 10:13:59
Which is pretty cool and it just made me like hey. 2025-06-17 10:14:02
All the all the better, right? You're killing all the more. 2025-06-17 10:14:05
And so a couple. 2025-06-17 10:14:08
Things that, umm, I think are worth noting. 2025-06-17 10:14:11
The new households, new people. 2025-06-17 10:14:14
We were offered pending. That's changed a little bit too. 2025-06-17 10:14:17
Because we added a third committed mover. 2025-06-17 10:14:20
I think in between the time that I got this. 2025-06-17 10:14:23
Back to you. So you brought in 17 household. 2025-06-17 10:14:26
38 new people new. 2025-06-17 10:14:29
Individual. So that's adults and children. 2025-06-17 10:14:32
And right now you've got a pretty robust pipeline. 2025-06-17 10:14:35
We've got three committed movers, so that's. 2025-06-17 10:14:38
Admitted being very unaccepted status. 2025-06-17 10:14:41
You've got 9 offers. 2025-06-17 10:14:44
That are out there right like we've we've gone through. 2025-06-17 10:14:48
And we've checked from a from. 2025-06-17 10:14:50
Mover operations perspective we've got. 2025-06-17 10:14:53
Come through and we we checked out like their income their. 2025-06-17 10:14:57
Employment status, all that stuff and. 2025-06-17 10:15:00
We found them to be legit and so now it's just an. 2025-06-17 10:15:03
Matter of do they accept the offer so. 2025-06-17 10:15:06
Again, things are looking pretty good from a. 2025-06-17 10:15:09
Pipeline perspective. 2025-06-17 10:15:11
With you guys with 1.7 million from a. 2025-06-17 10:15:15
Minecraft reach for a press value of. 2025-06-17 10:15:18
1000 that's kind of what it's been obviously. And then. 2025-06-17 10:15:21
Ideally, lastly, we're kind of. 2025-06-17 10:15:24
Looking at if you. 2025-06-17 10:15:27
If you think about just the pipeline in general. 2025-06-17 10:15:30
We brought in people who are. 2025-06-17 10:15:33
We have people right now from 10. 2025-06-17 10:15:36
Different states an average household of 109,000. 2025-06-17 10:15:39
1500 with an annual. 2025-06-17 10:15:42
New annual economic impact of 850. 2025-06-17 10:15:45
So that's kind of where things sit. 2025-06-17 10:15:51
Today, the last contract. 2025-06-17 10:15:54
That we signed like from a. 2025-06-17 10:15:57
Actual contractual perspective. 2025-06-17 10:16:00
Expired on May the 31st 20. 2025-06-17 10:16:03
25 We haven't stopped. 2025-06-17 10:16:06
Working like we're still working, I know. 2025-06-17 10:16:09
Transition obviously with with Don and Nick and I know. 2025-06-17 10:16:13
You guys are probably, you know, there are things. 2025-06-17 10:16:15
I think need to be figured out kind of on your end as well. 2025-06-17 10:16:18
But I did want to just shuttle. 2025-06-17 10:16:22
A little bit of insight. 2025-06-17 10:16:25
Two things that I think are very important One. 2025-06-17 10:16:28
We are having conversations at the state level. 2025-06-17 10:16:30
Be cautiously optimistic they are. 2025-06-17 10:16:37
Are progressing. There's nothing is final. 2025-06-17 10:16:40
Yeah, but. 2025-06-17 10:16:43
I would I would say that I am. 2025-06-17 10:16:46
Really confident that one way or. 2025-06-17 10:16:49
Or another through some. 2025-06-17 10:16:52
Some some. 2025-06-17 10:16:55
Some methods, some fun that we will. 2025-06-17 10:16:58
We have a A1 to one mapping for. 2025-06-17 10:17:01
At the very least, assuming. 2025-06-17 10:17:04
What county wants to to continue the program? 2025-06-17 10:17:07
Where that money comes from, I think it's kind of up in the air. 2025-06-17 10:17:10
And we're having multiple conversations with multiple organizations. 2025-06-17 10:17:13
But I know the conversations that we're having. 2025-06-17 10:17:16
At the state level have gone really, really well. 2025-06-17 10:17:19
And I have like, I don't want to drink this. 2025-06-17 10:17:22
So we'll just kind of leave it at that. I'll I'll definitely. 2025-06-17 10:17:25
Bob and Nick in the loop. 2025-06-17 10:17:28
As I know more, I would hope. 2025-06-17 10:17:31
That I'll have some sort of an ad. 2025-06-17 10:17:34
Or an idea what that looks like? 2025-06-17 10:17:37
By the end of this month. 2025-06-17 10:17:40
Not the one having those conversations, but. 2025-06-17 10:17:44
You know I'm kept abreast because you're not. 2025-06-17 10:17:47
Community that I'm having these conversations with as well. 2025-06-17 10:17:50
So as soon as I know more of that. 2025-06-17 10:17:53
Again, I'm confident we'll have good news. 2025-06-17 10:17:56
From the way you guys decide this is. 2025-06-17 10:17:58
And this is something that you want to continue? 2025-06-17 10:18:02
You know, hopefully we'll. 2025-06-17 10:18:05
And part of that is, you know, that's that. 2025-06-17 10:18:08
That's part of the reason why we haven't stopped, you know. 2025-06-17 10:18:11
Working for you guys driving because at the end of the day. 2025-06-17 10:18:14
I know that you need to know all the facts and. 2025-06-17 10:18:17
In order to make you know the best decisions for the community going forward. 2025-06-17 10:18:20
The second thing that I think is worth bringing the light. 2025-06-17 10:18:23
Is that we have. 2025-06-17 10:18:26
For the last three years, Analy. 2025-06-17 10:18:29
This program and look. 2025-06-17 10:18:32
Other ways to enhance. 2025-06-17 10:18:35
And tailor it. And it's not necessarily. 2025-06-17 10:18:38
Just because one thing is, is is good. 2025-06-17 10:18:41
For one, community doesn't mean it's not necessary. 2025-06-17 10:18:44
Fairly good for another, but you know, we're, we're kind of 1. 2025-06-17 10:18:47
If we can help you. 2025-06-17 10:18:50
If we can help every community. 2025-06-17 10:18:53
Ultimately, all the goals that they're. 2025-06-17 10:18:56
From an economic development perspective, that's what we're looking for. 2025-06-17 10:18:59
Like we don't want to be like, hey, it's gotta be this or it's gotta. 2025-06-17 10:19:02
We can help you do XY and Z take. 2025-06-17 10:19:05
OK. Or she's all the above and so if we're in. 2025-06-17 10:19:08
During this year, one thing we've realized is that 47. 2025-06-17 10:19:11
10% of the applicants. 2025-06-17 10:19:14
That your community sees. 2025-06-17 10:19:17
Are not qualified for the position because they are not. 2025-06-17 10:19:21
I'm at work but. 2025-06-17 10:19:23
They are people that are out there looking. 2025-06-17 10:19:27
Looking for a better place to live? 2025-06-17 10:19:29
And maybe an appointed opportunity. So we started. 2025-06-17 10:19:33
Piloting workforce or if you. 2025-06-17 10:19:36
We call it like job, job seeker type. 2025-06-17 10:19:39
Which is so far. 2025-06-17 10:19:42
It's going really well. I don't know. 2025-06-17 10:19:45
I think you guys are probably, at least I know Bob and Don. 2025-06-17 10:19:48
We had initial conversations were familiar with. 2025-06-17 10:19:51
Got a choir down in in. 2025-06-17 10:19:53
Economic development group, that kind of the counties, that sort of. 2025-06-17 10:19:57
Around Crane Naval Base. 2025-06-17 10:20:00
Piloting a program with them. 2025-06-17 10:20:03
Right now, where essentially they're they're just working. 2025-06-17 10:20:06
With certain employers. 2025-06-17 10:20:09
To try to recruit for for jobs within that. 2025-06-17 10:20:12
Now on top of this. 2025-06-17 10:20:15
They still do it. The remote worker program and. 2025-06-17 10:20:18
So one of the things that that we. 2025-06-17 10:20:21
Have asked kind of the state force ultimately. 2025-06-17 10:20:24
You the fact that partner up is. 2025-06-17 10:20:27
Would we be able to use matching fund? 2025-06-17 10:20:30
To attract job seekers. 2025-06-17 10:20:33
And this can be, you know, medical. 2025-06-17 10:20:36
Back or nervous first responders? 2025-06-17 10:20:39
Teacher, Perry County. 2025-06-17 10:20:42
20 years doing a little bit of a pilot to try to. 2025-06-17 10:20:45
Police officers, right? So thinking. 2025-06-17 10:20:48
About all those things. 2025-06-17 10:20:51
As we're as we're working with communities right now. 2025-06-17 10:20:54
That we're setting up pilot programs with every community. 2025-06-17 10:20:57
Assembly saying like this is something that like. 2025-06-17 10:21:01
We can include at no extra cost for any of our. 2025-06-17 10:21:03
Our current community partner, SO. 2025-06-17 10:21:06
Remote work is. 2025-06-17 10:21:10
I think it's pretty kind of safe to say that it's. 2025-06-17 10:21:13
Here to say I don't know that it's the future. 2025-06-17 10:21:16
Probably more of a hybrid kind of role is like where. 2025-06-17 10:21:19
Ultimately ends up in the very long. 2025-06-17 10:21:22
But I can tell you remote worker is not going. 2025-06-17 10:21:25
Way we're we're still seeing thousands. 2025-06-17 10:21:28
Of applicants each week. 2025-06-17 10:21:31
And they are the lowest hanging fruit because they can't. 2025-06-17 10:21:34
Impact and go and move and then when they come. 2025-06-17 10:21:37
They bring a job with them, so that makes them just, you know. 2025-06-17 10:21:40
An incremental consumer center taxpayer, but on. 2025-06-17 10:21:43
On top of that, you know if we can help Floyd County out. 2025-06-17 10:21:46
You know, as we, as we move forward with anything. 2025-06-17 10:21:49
Income A job seeker workforce related to. 2025-06-17 10:21:52
Any questions? 2025-06-17 10:21:58
An answer for anyone. 2025-06-17 10:22:00
Oh, wait. 2025-06-17 10:22:01
When we met earlier last week, I think you were gonna prepare. 2025-06-17 10:22:04
Kind of what we've spent today. 2025-06-17 10:22:07
From Accounting executive, the money we got back. 2025-06-17 10:22:10
And what that program would look like? 2025-06-17 10:22:13
Yeah, I so. 2025-06-17 10:22:16
And do you get a chance to look at? 2025-06-17 10:22:19
Some of the the summer after the other part. 2025-06-17 10:22:22
It's in here to the last page, but I'm kind of. 2025-06-17 10:22:28
Right now, but he's got to go up here. 2025-06-17 10:22:31
To look at, I mean, it's quite probably pretty. 2025-06-17 10:22:35
Similar, but if you're saying $13. 2025-06-17 10:22:38
$0.87 is generated per dollar. How much of that? 2025-06-17 10:22:40
1387 actually comes back to Floyd County. 2025-06-17 10:22:44
Me and where is it going and going into our. 2025-06-17 10:22:47
General Fund and we've come back in the form of. 2025-06-17 10:22:50
Taxes. Like taxes? And is that all for you? 2025-06-17 10:22:53
What county is that? New Albany and Floyd County separated out. 2025-06-17 10:22:56
I mean, we're. 2025-06-17 10:22:59
Other than county funniness, Other than that. 2025-06-17 10:23:02
The state, but organizations in it but. 2025-06-17 10:23:05
City of New Albany is not funny man and. 2025-06-17 10:23:08
I know the commissioners aren't and the Council. 2025-06-17 10:23:11
Could be moving just to New Albany, right? Yeah. The city, yeah. 2025-06-17 10:23:14
So again, I'd like to. 2025-06-17 10:23:17
Kind of narrow that down into. 2025-06-17 10:23:20
What what people Floyd County are getting back on. 2025-06-17 10:23:23
On that into our revenue. 2025-06-17 10:23:26
Yeah. I mean it's it's. 2025-06-17 10:23:29
Sort of. 2025-06-17 10:23:31
It probably lists like 25 different. 2025-06-17 10:24:49
Digital meeting, I'm happy to do that as well. 2025-06-17 10:26:13
Yeah. 2025-06-17 10:26:16
Yep, OK. 2025-06-17 10:26:19
Let's get information. 2025-06-17 10:26:22
The other thing? 2025-06-17 10:26:25
2 So if we do this kind of last. 2025-06-17 10:26:28
You know, kind of keeping the back end. 2025-06-17 10:26:31
Yeah, everything essentially. 2025-06-17 10:26:34
You know from like what would everything. 2025-06-17 10:26:37
Moving forward, it just kind of depends on what what. 2025-06-17 10:26:40
What you're wanting to do, right, So if you're wanting to do. 2025-06-17 10:26:43
Hand over campaign. 2025-06-17 10:26:46
Yeah, it it would look similar if not it. 2025-06-17 10:26:49
Exactly to what it was like last. 2025-06-17 10:26:52
Here and then if we do get. 2025-06-17 10:26:55
One matching fund from an outside source. 2025-06-17 10:26:58
Like we have in the past for you guys. 2025-06-17 10:27:01
You know the one thing I would kind of remind you? 2025-06-17 10:27:04
You typically get. 2025-06-17 10:27:07
The way it worked in the past, you got kind of half the past. 2025-06-17 10:27:10
At the grant, we have that money up front. 2025-06-17 10:27:13
That typically took care of. 2025-06-17 10:27:16
The first two payments that were made. 2025-06-17 10:27:19
But ultimately with everything that you know you guys have going. 2025-06-17 10:27:22
Some of the other projects. 2025-06-17 10:27:25
We have kind of the flexibility to either. 2025-06-17 10:27:28
You know, make that sort of work. 2025-06-17 10:27:32
You know it's. 2025-06-17 10:27:34
Easier on you guys, at least in the in. 2025-06-17 10:27:38
In a short period, if that makes sense. 2025-06-17 10:27:40
And what was the number of movers to get? 2025-06-17 10:27:44
20 or nearly 20 so far. 2025-06-17 10:27:47
Have moved or how many have moved 715 out of? 2025-06-17 10:27:50
Yeah. So we've got three more that are in the. 2025-06-17 10:27:53
Acceptance status, which is good. 2025-06-17 10:27:56
They have about like some of them have up to about 6. 2025-06-17 10:27:59
Right. We try to bring it down like, are you moving like? 2025-06-17 10:28:02
Are you looking to move right now? Are you looking to move within three months? 2025-06-17 10:28:05
I'm sorry you're looking to move within the second month and. 2025-06-17 10:28:08
I know they don't get the full benefit if they're not here a certain. 2025-06-17 10:28:11
Last time, but do we know if anybody has? 2025-06-17 10:28:14
Came and went. We don't. 2025-06-17 10:28:17
But I, I, I'll definitely kind of. 2025-06-17 10:28:20
I mean, that's, that's a great question. I'll, I'll, I'll try to get click. 2025-06-17 10:28:23
I usually the moves I. 2025-06-17 10:28:26
Really hear about it for the fact that I haven't heard about it. 2025-06-17 10:28:29
It's kind of like the young news is good news, that added. 2025-06-17 10:28:32
Today on that one, but I'll I'll just get here. 2025-06-17 10:28:35
Just to be clear, I'll, I'll try to get that. Well, the other thing, Nick. 2025-06-17 10:28:38
Now we're talking to him about and and Don as well. Is when. 2025-06-17 10:28:41
So we have we also have three that. 2025-06-17 10:28:44
We also have 9. 2025-06-17 10:28:47
Qualified Vietnamese, they qualify. 2025-06-17 10:28:50
And they may accept, yeah, that's correct. So. 2025-06-17 10:28:53
The question becomes, well we only have flaw. 2025-06-17 10:28:56
At what point do you tell them? 2025-06-17 10:29:02
Yeah. I mean, we could. We can do that. 2025-06-17 10:29:08
Right. I mean, what is it? 2025-06-17 10:29:11
The procedure we haven't done that to say there is a. 2025-06-17 10:29:14
It's not. 2025-06-17 10:29:17
Yeah. 2025-06-17 10:29:23
Yeah. And our mover oper. 2025-06-17 10:29:26
Mover operations team can take care of that for you. 2025-06-17 10:29:29
We can e-mail the three accepted stats. 2025-06-17 10:29:32
Committed to the movement. 2025-06-17 10:29:44
Whatever that program is that. 2025-06-17 10:29:50
There is no money, said all the men. 2025-06-17 10:29:56
Yeah, have to be rebounded again. 2025-06-17 10:29:59
Yeah, yeah, we we've done for. 2025-06-17 10:30:03
Handful of communities before where we're kind of in a situation like. 2025-06-17 10:30:06
That is where, you know, it's like we have to figure out. 2025-06-17 10:30:09
I was like, hey, do we like the program? 2025-06-17 10:30:12
We want to continue the program and see what is the budget. 2025-06-17 10:30:15
Look like when there's that kind of Gray area. 2025-06-17 10:30:18
Like we'll have mover apps, we'll reach out to the street and accept. 2025-06-17 10:30:21
Method and we'll just say hey. 2025-06-17 10:30:24
I there are only three. 2025-06-17 10:30:27
Available for. 2025-06-17 10:30:30
This the second occurrence of funding. 2025-06-17 10:30:33
This program right and so if you if. 2025-06-17 10:30:36
If you want to take advantage of that. 2025-06-17 10:30:39
There's also 9 applicants that have been offered. 2025-06-17 10:30:42
They might want this spot, that's why I want to. 2025-06-17 10:30:45
That person that's sitting there making. 2025-06-17 10:30:48
Right, I got. 2025-06-17 10:30:51
And and we would, we would essentially let them know. 2025-06-17 10:30:57
So for everyone that's in late stage. 2025-06-17 10:31:00
It's a total of 12 like we would let them know. 2025-06-17 10:31:03
12 applicants that are interested. 2025-06-17 10:31:06
And there's only three spots left in this iteration. 2025-06-17 10:31:09
There may be an opportunity. 2025-06-17 10:31:12
You know the community. 2025-06-17 10:31:15
3rd generation and you would quote. 2025-06-17 10:31:18
Qualify for that, assuming that you're still interested but like. 2025-06-17 10:31:21
We're not going to hang them out the dryer. Like not commun. 2025-06-17 10:31:24
And then, like we'll do, we'll move. 2025-06-17 10:31:27
At the direction stop, quite frankly. 2025-06-17 10:31:30
You and Nick give me. Yeah, you know. 2025-06-17 10:31:33
As well. 2025-06-17 10:31:36
For sure, I have one more question. 2025-06-17 10:31:39
What type of employment do the 17 people move? 2025-06-17 10:31:42
What type of? 2025-06-17 10:31:45
All kinds I can send you. 2025-06-17 10:31:48
I tried pulling it up but for whatever reason. 2025-06-17 10:31:51
The mover sweep isn't quite. 2025-06-17 10:31:54
Acting friendly with my personal. 2025-06-17 10:31:57
Wi-Fi on my phone, so I mean. 2025-06-17 10:32:00
Typically the most common are gonna be, you know. 2025-06-17 10:32:03
Software engineers. 2025-06-17 10:32:06
Data cyber security type position. 2025-06-17 10:32:09
I know we've moved a couple of those those types. 2025-06-17 10:32:12
Got a wide range of because, uh, three of us. 2025-06-17 10:32:15
We've not approved everyone we've done, we've turned. 2025-06-17 10:32:25
Oh yeah, now somebody are gonna have a. 2025-06-17 10:32:28
None of them have been for government employment. 2025-06-17 10:32:34
That aspirin, OK. 2025-06-17 10:32:40
There was like. 2025-06-17 10:32:45
Personnel. 2025-06-17 10:32:55
But none of no, we've we've never hired. 2025-06-17 10:33:01
And anybody can do that, correct? 2025-06-17 10:33:04
Yes. No, I mean, I think there was one federal, yeah. 2025-06-17 10:33:07
Now there's a wide range. I mean, there's a lot. 2025-06-17 10:33:16
Couple things but. 2025-06-17 10:33:19
Lord Taylor. 2025-06-17 10:33:25
Background facts now that we had got. 2025-06-17 10:33:31
I think you're a minimum of 50,000. 2025-06-17 10:33:37
Population. 2025-06-17 10:33:49
$2500. 2025-06-17 10:34:07
Another $2500. 2025-06-17 10:34:10
Within five years, you have. 2025-06-17 10:34:13
Out of that that accept. 2025-06-17 10:34:19
Here five years back or you can use that. 2025-06-17 10:34:22
The the salary requirement that we hit. 2025-06-17 10:34:34
Our threshold. 2025-06-17 10:34:37
We're still seeing a lot of advocates, so I think that. 2025-06-17 10:34:43
I'm not saying. 2025-06-17 10:34:43
I mean, the pipeline is pipeline drug bug, yeah. 2025-06-17 10:34:49
The nice thing is, you know. 2025-06-17 10:34:52
People from all over the country. 2025-06-17 10:34:55
Probably didn't know that. 2025-06-17 10:34:58
A place like Coward County existed. 2025-06-17 10:35:01
And now they do, and they're moving here, which is. 2025-06-17 10:35:04
Pretty much OK. 2025-06-17 10:35:07

In their journey in connecting those entrepreneurs with. 2025-06-17 10:38:25

Block pick up quite often that resource. 2025-06-17 10:38:30

Again, Co Working Spaces Economic Development Corporation. 2025-06-17 10:38:46
To develop programming. 2025-06-17 10:38:48
On the next slide or the next page there? 2025-06-17 10:38:52
This kind of shows what we are most well. 2025-06-17 10:38:55
Known for and that is our confidential. 2025-06-17 10:38:58
No cost advising services so. 2025-06-17 10:39:01
If a small business owner enrolled. 2025-06-17 10:39:03
For services, we will meet with them. How often? 2025-06-17 10:39:07
To me, for as long as they need to be. 2025-06-17 10:39:09
We will meet with Doctor. 2025-06-17 10:39:10
Our newers who are still in ideation stage, maybe they know. 2025-06-17 10:39:13
What industry they want to go into, but they don't know that. 2025-06-17 10:39:16
We go beyond that. We can pull all sorts. 2025-06-17 10:39:19
Of industry reporting in the graph. 2025-06-17 10:39:22
Traffic reporting, All kinds of real world. 2025-06-17 10:39:25
Real time information to help them home in on where. 2025-06-17 10:39:28
They want to build a business within that industry. 2025-06-17 10:39:31
We can definitely help them grow. 2025-06-17 10:39:34
9.4% of businesses throughout the state. 2025-06-17 10:39:37
For small businesses, which means we can work with 99.4. 2025-06-17 10:39:40
Percent of any businesses in the state of. 2025-06-17 10:39:43
Yeah, get more excited here. Oh. 2025-06-17 10:39:46
We also help with innovation, so maybe a company has been. 2025-06-17 10:39:49
Around for 10 years, but they need to identify new revenue. 2025-06-17 10:39:52
Where they need to secure a new piece of equipment to. 2025-06-17 10:39:55
And their operation, we can assist with that entire problem. 2025-06-17 10:39:58
From research to preparing for capital. 2025-06-17 10:40:01
Whether that's a commercial loan or even investment funding. 2025-06-17 10:40:04
Moving on to our Core Pro. 2025-06-17 10:40:07
Programs. These are the programs that a lot of people are not so familiar. 2025-06-17 10:40:10
So if a client does enroll with us against. 2025-06-17 10:40:13
For free. That opens them up to to be. 2025-06-17 10:40:16
Programs I'm about to touch on the Indiana. 2025-06-17 10:40:19
Program also called Impact. This is. 2025-06-17 10:40:22
Excellent program for small businesses. 2025-06-17 10:40:25
Where if they need to implement something. 2025-06-17 10:40:28
In their business to get to that next milestone, but they. 2025-06-17 10:40:31
We don't have the in-house expertise, the impact. 2025-06-17 10:40:34
Program will provide up to $15,000. 2025-06-17 10:40:37
To bring a professional into the business and help. 2025-06-17 10:40:40
Help them implement what they need to do. 2025-06-17 10:40:43
A simple example would be to add a. 2025-06-17 10:40:46
Consumer shopping cart onto a website, Something like that. 2025-06-17 10:40:49
But some of these projects get pretty unique. 2025-06-17 10:40:52
Dynamic, but that impact program. 2025-06-17 10:40:55
Is an annual program, so at the beginning of each year we. 2025-06-17 10:40:58
We do look at applications from clients and we have. 2025-06-17 10:41:01
Commit them based on the project that they are working on. 2025-06-17 10:41:04
Another program we. 2025-06-17 10:41:07
Exploit Indiana accelerator program. 2025-06-17 10:41:10
Is a business in Indiana 1/2. 2025-06-17 10:41:13
You know, maybe they're growing outside of Indiana. They're doing great on growing. 2025-06-17 10:41:16
Business throughout the US this program. 2025-06-17 10:41:19
Brand is a very intensive program. It's a 12. 2025-06-17 10:41:22
Program it does require about 5. 2025-06-17 10:41:25
Six hours per week on behalf of the business owner. 2025-06-17 10:41:28
But they walk away from this program with. 2025-06-17 10:41:31
A new, concise business plan that will. 2025-06-17 10:41:34
To step into international sales, they're gonna be. 2025-06-17 10:41:38
Able to meet with people with the State Department. 2025-06-17 10:41:40
The SBA you know this is not a passive program. 2025-06-17 10:41:44
Program. We are bringing people to the table for these folks to meet. 2025-06-17 10:41:47
A part of. 2025-06-17 10:41:50
That EIAT program is the Indiana State trade. 2025-06-17 10:41:53
And export promotion program. That is a mouthful. 2025-06-17 10:41:56
But again, if a company is looking. 2025-06-17 10:41:59
To begin exporting. Maybe they're not now, but they're. 2025-06-17 10:42:02
Looking through in the future, this program is a real. 2025-06-17 10:42:05
Program where if I'm just gonna come up with. 2025-06-17 10:42:08
With an easy example. 2025-06-17 10:42:11
A client of ours is making a potato chip. 2025-06-17 10:42:14
And they wanted to attend a. 2025-06-17 10:42:17
Trade show in Saint Louis we just had a sweet snack that we. 2025-06-17 10:42:20
Indianapolis a couple of weeks ago. That's international. 2025-06-17 10:42:23
Trade show because it brings people to Canada, Mexico and the country. 2025-06-17 10:42:26
That client, if they send you know 5. 2025-06-17 10:42:29
$5000 to build a booth and and. 2025-06-17 10:42:32
You know, give our product at that trade show they can. 2025-06-17 10:42:35
And be reimbursed for up to 80% of that call. 2025-06-17 10:42:38
Exactly, client recently did get full reimbursement. 2025-06-17 10:42:41
For a trade show. 2025-06-17 10:42:43
Uh, B. 2025-06-17 10:42:44
Beyond Instep, we do have an Agri business initiative in. 2025-06-17 10:42:47
A manufacturing initiative. What these programs? 2025-06-17 10:42:50
Are really. 2025-06-17 10:42:53
Advisor focused throughout the state of Indiana through all 10. 2025-06-17 10:42:56
Of our region, we have a lot of counselors and develop. 2025-06-17 10:42:59
Providers to our specialists and manufacturers and agriculture. 2025-06-17 10:43:02
Those individuals are trained. 2025-06-17 10:43:05
Cultural initiative advisors. 2025-06-17 10:43:08
Trained through the FDA, they are certified to work with agricultural. 2025-06-17 10:43:11
Clients, they can bring the USDA to the. 2025-06-17 10:43:14
With these clients and more manufacturing. 2025-06-17 10:43:17
Initiative. We do have a few. 2025-06-17 10:43:20
Strategic advisors that can help with anything on the. 2025-06-17 10:43:23
Manufacturing front from developing SOP. 2025-06-17 10:43:26
To identifying equipment unanimously, we've got the. 2025-06-17 10:43:29
Before I move on to. 2025-06-17 10:43:32
Metrics. Does anybody have any questions on program? 2025-06-17 10:43:35
What constitutes? 2025-06-17 10:43:38
Small businesses employees, Amount of employees. 2025-06-17 10:43:41
Depends on the industry. That's a really good question. So the FDA. 2025-06-17 10:43:44
For some industries, it's like employee count. 2025-06-17 10:43:47
And some industries are by annual revenue. 2025-06-17 10:43:50
Some of the revenues, one that's popping at the top of my head. 2025-06-17 10:43:53
Like transportation, I think that's like 4.5 million. 2025-06-17 10:43:56
Or north and annual revenue would bump them up in. 2025-06-17 10:43:59
But we've also got manufacture. 2025-06-17 10:44:02
Clients that have 450 employees. 2025-06-17 10:44:05
That are still classified because the FDA has an important. 2025-06-17 10:44:08
We count figure for manufacturing, so we. 2025-06-17 10:44:11
But that's a great question if you ever want details. 2025-06-17 10:44:14
I mean it's a very long list, but I can send. 2025-06-17 10:44:17
You do need your core programs, people. 2025-06-17 10:44:20
With recruitment and retention. So we did. 2025-06-17 10:44:23
Have a program that was born out of the COVID. 2025-06-17 10:44:26
Pandemic that has some sense that we do not. 2025-06-17 10:44:29
Have a natural program in house, but we do have. 2025-06-17 10:44:32
Third party partners that we can connect clients. 2025-06-17 10:44:35
We do Southern. 2025-06-17 10:44:38
Indiana works. We work very closely with them around here. We have. 2025-06-17 10:44:41
Other partners throughout our region, but in. 2025-06-17 10:44:44
Health, we don't need more of that program Sunset, but we can't assist. 2025-06-17 10:44:48
Make my move one of your. 2025-06-17 10:44:50
Not adorably. 2025-06-17 10:44:53
We could definitely work with. 2025-06-17 10:44:57
We have had, you know, now that I think about it. 2025-06-17 10:44:59
A client for two. 2025-06-17 10:45:03
I can look to our database but has come through. 2025-06-17 10:45:06
The Makemytrip program. Not frequently, no. Not free time. 2025-06-17 10:45:09
That's fine. OK. Yeah. Good question though. 2025-06-17 10:45:12
Move the house. 2025-06-17 10:45:15
Metric. If you look at our 2024 metric. 2025-06-17 10:45:18
Here we we did a great job across the region. 2025-06-17 10:45:21
We actually exceeded our goals and these goals are set. 2025-06-17 10:45:24
And on a manual basis about both the SBA. 2025-06-17 10:45:27
Indiana Economic Development Corporation. 2025-06-17 10:45:30
Or region specific, but if you. 2025-06-17 10:45:33
2024 client. 2025-06-17 10:45:36
We had 646 that was 124% of gold. 2025-06-17 10:45:39
Capital transaction and that is? 2025-06-17 10:45:42
Commercial capital or equity capital coming into a. 2025-06-17 10:45:45
Company based on direct dialogue with the FBI. 2025-06-17 10:45:48
The advisor, those capital transactions. 2025-06-17 10:45:51
78 for the 2024 year. 2025-06-17 10:45:54
Jobs supported were 2045. 2025-06-17 10:45:57
This is an interesting metric because we classify jobs. 2025-06-17 10:46:00
Supported as a job phase or added. 2025-06-17 10:46:03
To the organization due to direct. 2025-06-17 10:46:06
We gauge all this. 2025-06-17 10:46:09
We do have clients fill out form to get the rest. 2025-06-17 10:46:12
But we are sharing very detailed and. 2025-06-17 10:46:15
And then our long term. 2025-06-17 10:46:18
147 long term clients are. 2025-06-17 10:46:21
Any client that meets with an advisor 5 or more times. 2025-06-17 10:46:24
Sometimes we get a client to meet with us twice. 2025-06-17 10:46:27
Here sometimes we meet with clients every two weeks. 2025-06-17 10:46:30
Every month it just depends on who they are and what industry they're. 2025-06-17 10:46:33
Going on. 2025-06-17 10:46:36
To the next little spreadsheet. 2025-06-17 10:46:39
In your handout here, this is a breakdown of. 2025-06-17 10:46:42
2024 This shows county by county. 2025-06-17 10:46:45
Only the client. The number of clients we serve. 2025-06-17 10:46:48
Capital infusion, which is either a commercial loan or equity capital. 2025-06-17 10:46:51
If you went to Floyd County, that is. 2025-06-17 10:46:54
An enormous piece of our service. 2025-06-17 10:46:57
Services within the 14 county region. 2025-06-17 10:47:00
Boyd County makes up 23% of all of our. 2025-06-17 10:47:03
Science servers again Ethic across 14,000. 2025-06-17 10:47:06
Moving on. 2025-06-17 10:47:09
On to 2025 metric. Uh, we are. 2025-06-17 10:47:12
Way ahead of schedule. This year we have had a lot of new clients. 2025-06-17 10:47:15
Reach out to us that we are now assisting. 2025-06-17 10:47:18
But for new business starts, we are at 22 for the year. 2025-06-17 10:47:21

Dollar amount this year so far is about 4.4. 2025-06-17 10:47:39
$1,000,000 this year. It would not surprise me if we get. 2025-06-17 10:47:42
Defeat for $9 million by capital infusion. 2025-06-17 10:47:45
Does anybody have questions? 2025-06-17 10:47:48
Anything I need to explain first? 2025-06-17 10:47:54
Thank you. 2025-06-17 10:47:57
To wrap it up, I just want to make sure that you know. 2025-06-17 10:48:00
Floyd County, you all are familiar with how we are funded. 2025-06-17 10:48:03
We are funded primarily through. 2025-06-17 10:48:07
The FDA at the federal level, the IEBC at the. 2025-06-17 10:48:10
State level and then our host organization has to put this. 2025-06-17 10:48:13
But our host organization for this region is Purdue. 2025-06-17 10:48:16
University. All 10 regions have a. 2025-06-17 10:48:19
Organization, for instance. 2025-06-17 10:48:22
Central is Butler East Central is. 2025-06-17 10:48:25
Purdue, our host organizations. UH first. 2025-06-17 10:48:28
Provide all of the back end administrative the grant. 2025-06-17 10:48:31
Support pretty much everything our business office needs. 2025-06-17 10:48:34
Provided by Purdue University on top of. 2025-06-17 10:48:37
You also contribute funding to keep the doors open and the. 2025-06-17 10:48:40
The program continuing. 2025-06-17 10:48:42
For the federal grant, we are. 2025-06-17 10:48:46
Required to secure A1 to one match. 2025-06-17 10:48:49
From community partners for our 2020. 2025-06-17 10:48:52
Five buddies. This map equates to 1. 2025-06-17 10:48:55
24 I'm sorry 12447. 2025-06-17 10:48:58
77 And of course. 2025-06-17 10:49:01
Already computed 109,890. 2025-06-17 10:49:04
So for this year, we do still have a. 2025-06-17 10:49:07
Budget gap on our cash back dollars and. 2025-06-17 10:49:10
That gap of $14,587. 2025-06-17 10:49:13
I would like to. 2025-06-17 10:49:16
For you all to please consider supporting us. 2025-06-17 10:49:19
Not that we even have to have an answer today, but. 2025-06-17 10:49:22
Any help you could extend? 2025-06-17 10:49:25
On the front of Catch, magic is going to go directly into. 2025-06-17 10:49:28
Programming, we don't do any marketing all of. 2025-06-17 10:49:31
Our clients come through word of mouth and partnership with organiz. 2025-06-17 10:49:34
Throughout the region. So if you. 2025-06-17 10:49:37
Choose to support SBDC, know that. 2025-06-17 10:49:40
Every penny we receive goes directly to assistance. 2025-06-17 10:49:43
How many of the other 13 counties are already pre? 2025-06-17 10:49:49
In the cache match for quite a bit, even the rule account. 2025-06-17 10:49:55
We we usually see. 2025-06-17 10:49:58
Anywhere from $5000 contribution up to. 2025-06-17 10:50:01
15,000 contribution, the more rural. 2025-06-17 10:50:04
Areas that will be closer to the five. 2025-06-17 10:50:07
We even take a smaller amount of dollars. 2025-06-17 10:50:10
From the very rural county. 2025-06-17 10:50:13
What those counties will do is often offer in kind. 2025-06-17 10:50:16
Like office space for us to meet with our clients maybe? 2025-06-17 10:50:19
Within that county. 2025-06-17 10:50:25
Employees participated before the cash match. I don't remember. 2025-06-17 10:50:28
Quite a while I could, I could not find anything. 2025-06-17 10:50:34
I could not find anything through my account. 2025-06-17 10:50:37
And ask for I believe it was. 2025-06-17 10:50:40
OK Oh and just didn't know if anyone hit the game. 2025-06-17 10:50:43
Regional director was based out of Columbus, IN. 2025-06-17 10:50:49
And, you know, he was very focused on Columbus, the county around. 2025-06-17 10:50:52
There he has now been promoted to state director of. 2025-06-17 10:50:56
But you know, this year. 2025-06-17 10:50:59
Our goal really is to to dig into. 2025-06-17 10:51:02
Community getting to know each other, learning about. 2025-06-17 10:51:05
Each other's services, making sure we're not duplicating things. 2025-06-17 10:51:08
But to get back to your question, I can. 2025-06-17 10:51:11
Do not think we've ever made the active. Haven't been. 2025-06-17 10:51:14
Yeah. So that cash match would. 2025-06-17 10:51:20
Coming from other communities through throughout the region, I think. 2025-06-17 10:51:23
Do you know if Clark Dearborn Harrison Ripley has? 2025-06-17 10:51:29
Anticipated yet? Ripley has for sure do. 2025-06-17 10:51:32

More mediums following the book and Harrison. 2025-06-17 10:51:41

Sometimes the sooner is always. 2025-06-17 10:51:53
Sugar, but uh, I would say. 2025-06-17 10:51:56
Definitely by the end of the month of July. 2025-06-17 10:51:59

OK, we have. Yeah, they are on board. So they're OK. Yeah. 2025-06-17 10:52:11

Yeah. 2025-06-17 10:52:17
Yeah, yeah. We'll, we'll, you know, we develop. 2025-06-17 10:52:20
Deep partnerships with cities. 2025-06-17 10:52:23
County any type of entrepreneur support. 2025-06-17 10:52:26
That I see there is some. 2025-06-17 10:52:29
News about. 2025-06-17 10:52:32
Your office and IU SE right now. 2025-06-17 10:52:35
Is that where you're located now? It is, yeah. 2025-06-17 10:52:38
And that is a partnership that we've been growing. 2025-06-17 10:52:41
There's been a little confusion, Purdue. 2025-06-17 10:52:44
Host organizations, but we just developed a. 2025-06-17 10:52:47
Really great relationship with IUS. 2025-06-17 10:52:50
We've built a lot of programs together. 2025-06-17 10:52:53
This competition we will design lab and. 2025-06-17 10:52:56
Park quite a bit so you know, the past couple weeks. 2025-06-17 10:52:59
Years have been very exciting because due to the new IED. 2025-06-17 10:53:02
We are dieting. 2025-06-17 10:53:05
Deeper than ever before in our community. 2025-06-17 10:53:08
Developing programming, assisting with programming so. 2025-06-17 10:53:11
You know, we're reaching way far beyond this immediate. 2025-06-17 10:53:14
Being with clients in the office and digging into their business plan. 2025-06-17 10:53:17
And and planning we're getting out there in the community and building doing. 2025-06-17 10:53:20
Where are you on campus? We are in. 2025-06-17 10:53:23
Those apples at the School of Business, not on the ground. 2025-06-17 10:53:26

Good program to have and. 2025-06-17 10:55:03
Program at IUS I think. 2025-06-17 10:55:06

I think I'm the guy. I mean, I've got. 2025-06-17 10:56:30
In that line, OK. 2025-06-17 10:56:33
I won't be able to make it. I'm going to India. 2025-06-17 10:56:36
I mean, I totally have to be bored. I mean. 2025-06-17 10:56:42
And anyone? 2025-06-17 10:56:51
I think maybe get him to sign it, but we've got a good. 2025-06-17 10:57:04
We've got a good group. Mike is actually being one of the presenters as well. 2025-06-17 10:57:07
We've got a very diverse group in terms of that. 2025-06-17 10:57:13
One of the items we also he mentioned. 2025-06-17 10:57:16
And I'll depend on this Donald writing. 2025-06-17 10:57:19
Is the next big pitch winner. 2025-06-17 10:57:22
He's got, I think Mike's gonna try to get him and. 2025-06-17 10:57:25
In the neck, he's gonna be there. 2025-06-17 10:57:31
Entrepreneur. He does a. 2025-06-17 10:57:34
Alright, so and and my understanding. 2025-06-17 10:57:40

Traction. 2025-06-17 10:57:49
On that so but if you have. 2025-06-17 10:57:52
Any other questions feel free to. 2025-06-17 10:57:55
I'm glad you did try to get him out to the. 2025-06-17 10:58:01
Apart, but you could still be in the. 2025-06-17 10:58:04
AUS is space how Chancellor Ford has got every. 2025-06-17 10:58:07
But they're dedicated. But, well, I don't. 2025-06-17 10:58:10
No, he has. Oh my God, we did a hard hat tour. 2025-06-17 10:58:13
All fewer people may never get. 2025-06-17 10:58:19
It's all framed up now. 2025-06-17 10:58:22
Yeah, it's coming. It starts to be. 2025-06-17 10:58:25
Yeah, yeah. 2025-06-17 10:58:28
Yeah. 2025-06-17 10:58:34
OK. 2025-06-17 10:58:37
Donald Hill, Nick, I think you're going to give us an update. 2025-06-17 10:58:40

Development plan. 2025-06-17 10:58:46
Yeah. 2025-06-17 10:58:58
Yeah, where we're at with it and what next? 2025-06-17 10:59:01
Yeah. So just to give you guys a little bit of background as well, so. 2025-06-17 10:59:07
Just doing this overall now for it. 2025-06-17 10:59:13
Yeah, that. 2025-06-17 10:59:28
Yeah, I I think that's the the easiest way to kind of give us. 2025-06-17 10:59:31
Through the pathways and if we can, yeah, because. 2025-06-17 10:59:34
We've been behind the scenes meeting off and on. 2025-06-17 10:59:37
Development. 2025-06-17 10:59:40
Giving them data. 2025-06-17 10:59:43
For coffee, in the water and. 2025-06-17 10:59:47
So anyway with that. 2025-06-17 11:00:01
Yeah. Again, we we did a preliminary analysis. 2025-06-17 11:00:05
Just from a revenue perspective and what we. 2025-06-17 11:00:08
Based on the site plan, we met with the development partners. 2025-06-17 11:00:11
And talk through that a little bit and begin. 2025-06-17 11:00:14
Try to put some of the pieces. 2025-06-17 11:00:16
Together, I think where we are. 2025-06-17 11:00:17
Now log into whatever it is. 2025-06-17 11:00:20
Is a discussion on updates on budget? 2025-06-17 11:00:23
Utility side of things as well. 2025-06-17 11:00:29
Access infrastructure. 2025-06-17 11:00:32
More round of those and then. 2025-06-17 11:00:38
Defining roles and responsibilities overall. 2025-06-17 11:00:41
What that could look like as we. 2025-06-17 11:00:44
Who covers what? The responsibility of that? 2025-06-17 11:00:50
Being able to have the coverage and how you deliver that again. 2025-06-17 11:00:53
The next step after we. 2025-06-17 11:00:56
Preliminary analysis, assuming we could. 2025-06-17 11:00:59
Arrive at a you know it's. 2025-06-17 11:01:01
A general. 2025-06-17 11:01:02
Framework of what development terms will look like. 2025-06-17 11:01:05
Obviously, we want to bring in your. 2025-06-17 11:01:08
Financial Council legal counsel immediately. 2025-06-17 11:01:11
That's not what we do. We can do kind of everything. 2025-06-17 11:01:17
So. 2025-06-17 11:01:20
In meeting with. 2025-06-17 11:01:23
Overtime. 2025-06-17 11:03:54
64 down to Old Georgetown OR. 2025-06-17 11:06:24
Going on down, I believe it was. 2025-06-17 11:06:26
Width of that or well. 2025-06-17 11:06:33
And I I printed off this guy. 2025-06-17 11:06:36
Excellent Strand. Yeah, I think it's. 2025-06-17 11:06:39
Yeah, return Lane. 2025-06-17 11:06:48
And it would not extend the last couple of days. 2025-06-17 11:06:54
Yeah, that's that's what it was. 2025-06-17 11:07:00
Give us the signal and then widen it. 2025-06-17 11:07:03
OK, so. 2025-06-17 11:07:06
Comma hill would not be other than the. 2025-06-17 11:07:09
Would not be any. 2025-06-17 11:07:11
Further improvements on Hill. 2025-06-17 11:07:12
That's what I'm aware of. I mean, that was the. 2025-06-17 11:07:15
And what was there ever an estimated cost that was? 2025-06-17 11:07:18
Batted around it. 2025-06-17 11:07:21
Why and? 2025-06-17 11:07:24
To the development sometimes. 2025-06-17 11:07:36
I am not. 2025-06-17 11:07:39
Uh, first. 2025-06-17 11:07:42
Yeah. 2025-06-17 11:07:45
So go to that main road that's coming. 2025-06-17 11:07:48
OK. 2025-06-17 11:07:51
Review the road improvement before a light is installed there. 2025-06-17 11:08:27
Could you do the road improvements? 2025-06-17 11:08:30
Prior to the light. 2025-06-17 11:08:33
And why it tells him? 2025-06-17 11:08:42
Right. Yeah. And it's it's this. 2025-06-17 11:08:51
But they do they own lot A now, but yes. 2025-06-17 11:08:57
OK. 2025-06-17 11:09:01
OK. Yeah. So that that's no longer. 2025-06-17 11:09:04
Longer, you know if they would. 2025-06-17 11:09:07
As so far. 2025-06-17 11:09:09
OK. Yeah, I'm just curious. 2025-06-17 11:09:19
Other areas where they've allowed you to put all. 2025-06-17 11:09:25
Yeah. 2025-06-17 11:09:34
And your water and sewer coming in parallel with old George. 2025-06-17 11:09:37
Yeah, OK. Yeah. Would we? Would we? 2025-06-17 11:09:40
Eventually we the counties eventually be able to. 2025-06-17 11:09:43
Tap into TIF on that. 2025-06-17 11:09:46
Hefty from inception on that like you know what this. 2025-06-17 11:09:49
Is up and running in five years. 2025-06-17 11:09:52
Be able to recoup some of that or would it be? 2025-06-17 11:09:55
Totally based on what's the next? 2025-06-17 11:09:58
Depending how structured. 2025-06-17 11:10:01
Absolutely. That's where we. 2025-06-17 11:10:04
Kind of have a little they were going back and getting details. 2025-06-17 11:10:07
The infrastructure. 2025-06-17 11:10:10
To see whether or not it needed to be. 2025-06-17 11:10:13
All of it, or some of it. Or if we could still craft it. 2025-06-17 11:10:16
I think that's easier for. 2025-06-17 11:10:19
Constituents, obviously, if we. 2025-06-17 11:10:22
Be recouping some of that from the development, I totally understand. 2025-06-17 11:10:25
Yeah. And and and there otherwise it's performance based. 2025-06-17 11:10:28
Even if we do a reimbursement back to it or? 2025-06-17 11:10:31
Merchant agreement that goes for a period of time and depends on taxes. 2025-06-17 11:10:37
Come in. We funnel that back until we get that. 2025-06-17 11:10:40
Number, it's still going to be largely performance based. 2025-06-17 11:10:43
On their end to be able to hit that. 2025-06-17 11:10:46
I think we have some built in like that that. 2025-06-17 11:10:49
A lot more powerful. 2025-06-17 11:10:52
Yeah, yeah, I think. 2025-06-17 11:10:52
We realized we couldn't do it, Yeah. 2025-06-17 11:10:55
Because I think that's why you need this more detail from them. 2025-06-17 11:10:58
Yeah, figure out. All right, what's that generator going? 2025-06-17 11:11:01
Right, because based on their site plan. 2025-06-17 11:11:04
Put together. 2025-06-17 11:11:07
Bathing schedule that you know conceptual. 2025-06-17 11:11:10
Right. 2025-06-17 11:11:13
It doesn't have enough P. 2025-06-17 11:11:16
Cover everything and pay for everything. 2025-06-17 11:11:19
Right. We could. We could do the light, we couldn't do the infrast. 2025-06-17 11:11:22
Together basically called or based on the cost. 2025-06-17 11:11:25
That we're considering at the time business limitations. 2025-06-17 11:11:28
So when the kiss captured the tax rate? 2025-06-17 11:11:31
And and what what the generation? 2025-06-17 11:11:34
Be based on based on a conceptual pipeline, so. 2025-06-17 11:11:37
That was our kind of response. 2025-06-17 11:11:40
Back and this is hey, we've run the numbers on this. 2025-06-17 11:11:43
Something's got to give somewhere. 2025-06-17 11:11:46
And you know how what would happen? 2025-06-17 11:11:49
The developer has, so then we presented that to the. 2025-06-17 11:11:52
They took it under their own advisement. 2025-06-17 11:11:56
And have since come back. 2025-06-17 11:11:58
It can be taken care of this and we'll take care of that with all. 2025-06-17 11:12:02
Our property taxes and that. 2025-06-17 11:12:05
Put that on paper. 2025-06-17 11:12:08
Yeah, it's easy to prime the pump. 2025-06-17 11:12:11
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I understand. 2025-06-17 11:12:14
So I think at this point just just an update. 2025-06-17 11:12:17
I know we've been giving them. 2025-06-17 11:12:23
Personally. 2025-06-17 11:12:26
A lot more than. 2025-06-17 11:12:29
Been going up for many years so I like to be fun. 2025-06-17 11:12:32
Yeah, yeah. 2025-06-17 11:12:35
I think that's part of it too, that there's a as of any. 2025-06-17 11:12:38
Development in their year. 2025-06-17 11:12:41
That consistent flow of information that. 2025-06-17 11:12:50
Maybe telling one person? 2025-06-17 11:12:53
Kind of boomerang background, so I figured. 2025-06-17 11:12:56
Bubble pieces are all kind of floating out there somewhere, but we need a free. 2025-06-17 11:12:59
And I I didn't want to say that. 2025-06-17 11:13:02
We're in the better position because I don't want to frame it that way. 2025-06-17 11:13:05
They've already started purchasing property. 2025-06-17 11:13:08
So there's going to be some development there. 2025-06-17 11:13:11
At some point, so yeah. 2025-06-17 11:13:14
Hope that when you purchase property for a certain amount, they've already made in debt. 2025-06-17 11:13:17
Alright, Yeah, yeah, they're gonna need, they're gonna. 2025-06-17 11:13:20
Need a retirement sooner rather than later? 2025-06-17 11:13:23
How we get all these things, it's a furthering of vision. 2025-06-17 11:13:26
Furthering what the Commission and the repo is. 2025-06-17 11:13:29
If that exists out there and how do we come together and. 2025-06-17 11:13:32
However, something that gives them appropriate return. 2025-06-17 11:13:35
For the risk but also gives you the outcomes that. 2025-06-17 11:13:38
I talked a little bit more about the county role in this. 2025-06-17 11:13:41
This board role would be to help you. 2025-06-17 11:13:44
Go to the property. That's true, that'd be part of. 2025-06-17 11:13:47
And then ultimately if there were. 2025-06-17 11:13:50
So we need sort of financing that would come. 2025-06-17 11:13:53
Out of this, obviously that would go on to the County Council. 2025-06-17 11:13:56
Probably depending on. 2025-06-17 11:14:02
Thanks for the update, Sherman. All right. 2025-06-17 11:14:14
Back to Dover Park. 2025-06-17 11:14:17
Carol. 2025-06-17 11:14:17
We have actually taken a couple. 2025-06-17 11:14:26
You want to go to the. 2025-06-17 11:14:29
He has 10 minutes left. 2025-06-17 11:14:32
We have two things that we should try. 2025-06-17 11:14:35
The mowing. 2025-06-17 11:14:38
Resolution to be added. 2025-06-17 11:14:44
Notice that there was no. 2025-06-17 11:14:53
Right. 2025-06-17 11:14:56
Relevant tax district. 2025-06-17 11:14:59
So this would be resolution #2025. 2025-06-17 11:15:05
03. 2025-06-17 11:15:15
Payback back to. 2025-06-17 11:15:27
And that's an annual resolution. 2025-06-17 11:15:33
Annual report We've already sent out the. 2025-06-17 11:15:35
Those entities. 2025-06-17 11:15:39
OK. 2025-06-17 11:15:41
And that includes. 2025-06-17 11:15:45
County Council itself. 2025-06-17 11:15:51
The taxing district. 2025-06-17 11:15:54
Library Fire District. 2025-06-17 11:15:57
Oh, I'm waiting. 2025-06-17 11:16:00
In fire district. 2025-06-17 11:16:06
Solid waste. 2025-06-17 11:16:09
And the mud. 2025-06-17 11:16:12
Conservation District. There you go. 2025-06-17 11:16:15
Make motion to approve Motion by Al. 2025-06-17 11:16:18
I'll second. 2025-06-17 11:16:21
Make a eye. 2025-06-17 11:16:24
And then we have the mowing quote. 2025-06-17 11:16:30
Outside entities through the rowing and. 2025-06-17 11:16:39
Quote. 2025-06-17 11:16:42
Lambs, Crock Cutters and Riley's. 2025-06-17 11:16:45
I am for 750. 2025-06-17 11:16:51
They did include. 2025-06-17 11:17:00
They can't log as well that. 2025-06-17 11:17:03
We we will not include in in the. 2025-06-17 11:17:06
Agreement. 2025-06-17 11:17:09
We have identified funding as soon. 2025-06-17 11:17:12
Yeah. 2025-06-17 11:17:18
Yeah, then I guess it's just. 2025-06-17 11:17:21
Well, is it? Is it completed the red wire? 2025-06-17 11:17:27
OK. OK. Yeah, so. 2025-06-17 11:17:33
So it's red wire, it says. 2025-06-17 11:17:42
New development building in Lake. 2025-06-17 11:17:45
So outside of those. 2025-06-17 11:17:48
In the islands as well. 2025-06-17 11:18:06
Except not the big field. 2025-06-17 11:18:12
But it's not weekly, right? Right where I'm going. 2025-06-17 11:18:19
And yet, weekly peak is just. 2025-06-17 11:18:22
I'm just trying to figure out. 2025-06-17 11:18:27
And no and red wire. 2025-06-17 11:18:37
OK, that's no better there. It's like a. 2025-06-17 11:18:46
I'll just read it. Cut and trim finish, mow areas around. 2025-06-17 11:18:49
Buildings New develop building and lake along roadways. 2025-06-17 11:18:52
Innovation Parkway and areas along Indiana 60. 2025-06-17 11:18:55
Four between the overpass and water treatment facility on a weekly basis. 2025-06-17 11:18:58
Right. And then anytime we want the larger. 2025-06-17 11:19:01
They've they've included five mowings. 2025-06-17 11:19:07
Of the. 2025-06-17 11:19:13
Of the Bush hogging. 2025-06-17 11:19:16
Yeah, you need items. Yeah, recommendation. 2025-06-17 11:19:25
So I entertain a motion to accept. 2025-06-17 11:19:34
A little bit of land monsters, landscaping. 2025-06-17 11:19:37
OK. 2025-06-17 11:19:55
Call. 2025-06-17 11:20:01
Hi. 2025-06-17 11:20:04
No. 2025-06-17 11:20:07
Thank you. 2025-06-17 11:20:13
Returning the number. 2025-06-17 11:20:16
Connect Vitamin D RSP development. 2025-06-17 11:20:25
Briefly discuss during the executive session. 2025-06-17 11:20:28
Yeah. 2025-06-17 11:20:31
That are you that bad to bring it back? 2025-06-17 11:20:43
Yeah. 2025-06-17 11:20:46
Yeah. 2025-06-17 11:21:11
The IUS change or release no real update. 2025-06-17 11:21:29
Yeah, I guess he's needed. 2025-06-17 11:21:38
I don't know this gentleman that was having to walk through the ***. 2025-06-17 11:21:41
I don't know where we are at. 2025-06-17 11:22:26
I don't guess that he could join. 2025-06-17 11:22:29
Might be best just to try calling them. 2025-06-17 11:22:44
Transfer and transcripts me back over there. 2025-06-17 11:22:53
Reply. 2025-06-17 11:22:59
OK. 2025-06-17 11:23:17
There we go. 2025-06-17 11:23:29
We'll talk about. 2025-06-17 11:23:32
Hey, Jessica. Hey, sorry I can't figure out today. 2025-06-17 11:23:38
On the phone here. 2025-06-17 11:23:44
So we're talking about IUS and. 2025-06-17 11:23:47
Uh-huh. 2025-06-17 11:23:47
They haven't changed it as it's been outstanding since they. 2025-06-17 11:23:50
That we were trying to negotiate now. 2025-06-17 11:23:53
Trying to finalize the lease agreement. 2025-06-17 11:23:56
At the same time. 2025-06-17 11:23:59
That we're not saying. 2025-06-17 11:23:59
Going back and forth. 2025-06-17 11:24:05
Tomorrow's Toronto weather. 2025-06-17 11:24:17
Right where maybe they're gonna tell us. 2025-06-17 11:24:21
They want to change or I don't know. 2025-06-17 11:24:23
I'm not aware of. 2025-06-17 11:24:30
OK, what? 2025-06-17 11:24:42
Could we entertain? Well, we're not going. 2025-06-17 11:24:45
Figure out how we can get charm and stuff, but we don't want them to move forward. 2025-06-17 11:24:51
We're all here. We're all here, yeah. 2025-06-17 11:25:09
I don't know if we previously. 2025-06-17 11:25:12
If I file revenge, I don't know if they have to. 2025-06-17 11:25:21
You know, same form and what we've given, but you know. 2025-06-17 11:25:33
I haven't heard any changes. Maybe not. 2025-06-17 11:25:36
One way to do it or you just have another meeting with or you. 2025-06-17 11:25:42
We may want to do that or what? 2025-06-17 11:25:48
Can't see the leaves. I don't know that everyone. 2025-06-17 11:25:51
Yeah, Why don't we do that? Why don't we? 2025-06-17 11:25:57
After tomorrow. 2025-06-17 11:26:00

For the average writing program, I was involved. 2025-06-17 16:35:44
In this years ago because 1000 years ago. 2025-06-17 16:35:47
Was pretty active before held another reason. 2025-06-17 16:35:50
That curtailed my activity. 2025-06-17 16:35:53
You'll keep on it from a distance, but I'm. 2025-06-17 16:35:56
Don't understand why. I understand, but I don't agree with the proposed. 2025-06-17 16:35:59

When I get up there, I got somebody to help me empty the hair. 2025-06-17 16:36:23
Convenient, it's a. 2025-06-17 16:36:26
All my viewers doing this it seems. 2025-06-17 16:36:29
Like a solid weed, there's always a low hand. 2025-06-17 16:36:32

So right now I I just got. 2025-06-17 16:36:41
Baby shutting down recycling. 2025-06-17 16:36:44
Besides. 2025-06-17 16:36:47
Upsetting a lot of conservation. 2025-06-17 16:36:50
It's going to add many more tons to our landfill. 2025-06-17 16:36:53
That is going to go up there. 2025-06-17 16:36:56
And haven't been behind the wheel for very. 2025-06-17 16:36:59
Wrong, but every few years it seems. 2025-06-17 16:37:02
The landfill space and getting permits to build a high. 2025-06-17 16:37:05

And many of them. 2025-06-17 16:37:20
The taxpayers are paying for insurance. 2025-06-17 16:37:23
And personal usage of these cars, that's not. 2025-06-17 16:37:26
Yeah, the vast majority of them are even free kids. 2025-06-17 16:37:29

You do decide to cut this program the money that. 2025-06-17 16:41:48
That you would say by trying to cut it. 2025-06-17 16:41:51
Where exactly would it go? 2025-06-17 16:41:54
Would it actually help Hoosiers spread the? 2025-06-17 16:41:57
A better life, or would it? 2025-06-17 16:42:00
Going to politicians who have done. 2025-06-17 16:42:03
Nothing to deserve it. 2025-06-17 16:42:06
I believe I have, said Mike. 2025-06-17 16:42:15
Alright, have a good day. Thank you man. 2025-06-17 16:42:18

2 Aversal Dr. New Albany. 2025-06-17 16:42:33
I just heard about this a while back. 2025-06-17 16:42:36
Started reviving our cardboard out of the business. 2025-06-17 16:42:39
We have a lot of stuff. 2025-06-17 16:42:45
Cardboard to recycle every. 2025-06-17 16:42:48
Tuesday or Wednesday or Thursday when they come by. 2025-06-17 16:42:51
I guess I'm curious. 2025-06-17 16:42:57
About Where in the world is all this cardboard gonna go next? 2025-06-17 16:43:00
We have a ton of it out of there. 2025-06-17 16:43:03
Movable. 2025-06-17 16:43:06
You guys let us have it whenever. 2025-06-17 16:43:09
And it's full every time if not for. 2025-06-17 16:43:12
Cardboard from a small business on Silver Street. 2025-06-17 16:43:15
What are we going to do with this stuff? We don't do this. 2025-06-17 16:43:18
Echo tech can do it. I guess we can throw it all. 2025-06-17 16:43:21
If you want, it's gonna not be revival again. 2025-06-17 16:43:24
Recycling is one of the major things that I think about. 2025-06-17 16:43:27
It's a good idea. It's a great idea. 2025-06-17 16:43:33
And I'd like for you all to somehow. 2025-06-17 16:43:36
CEKFQ and continue. 2025-06-17 16:43:39
Recycling for Floyd County for the. 2025-06-17 16:43:42
A lot of people gonna be. 2025-06-17 16:43:45
Probably. 2025-06-17 16:43:45
Doing a lot of stupid stuff. 2025-06-17 16:43:48
And you need to think about that a lot of business. 2025-06-17 16:43:51
To think about, OK, go back and take another look at the budget. 2025-06-17 16:43:57
So you have somewhere, somehow. 2025-06-17 16:44:00
Subway You can make this project continue. 2025-06-17 16:44:03
Even if it has cost us. 2025-06-17 16:44:06
A little bit more businesses can do it. 2025-06-17 16:44:09
You know, we'll make it up somehow. I'd rather make it. 2025-06-17 16:44:12
That we have every day. 2025-06-17 16:44:15
I don't know about. 2025-06-17 16:44:15
People in general, but they'll probably go along. 2025-06-17 16:44:18
Too if I have to pay a little bit more to keep this program. 2025-06-17 16:44:21
It's a good one and I hope you can. 2025-06-17 16:44:24
That's good. Thank you. Thank you, Sir. 2025-06-17 16:44:28
Steve Abbott. 2025-06-17 16:44:30
I don't think you start with your address. Please Sir. 2025-06-17 16:44:45
Albany, IN. 2025-06-17 16:44:49
Like I've been coming to these. 2025-06-17 16:44:51
I've been trying. 2025-06-17 16:44:55
Find ways to make recycling better. 2025-06-17 16:44:58
I don't know a lot about the. 2025-06-17 16:45:04
Financial situation in the county where it's hard for me to leave. 2025-06-17 16:45:07
There's not some other places that you couldn't cut that, wouldn't it? 2025-06-17 16:45:10
Have quite the impact in the long range. 2025-06-17 16:45:13
We might be able to cut and we might go. 2025-06-17 16:45:16
Based on short range we need to be able to. 2025-06-17 16:45:19
To save the country. 2025-06-17 16:45:22
Everybody in the long run. 2025-06-17 16:45:25
I would say. 2025-06-17 16:45:31
Idea would be if all else failed, we could. 2025-06-17 16:45:34
Cut it back a little bit and hopefully. 2025-06-17 16:45:37
I think if we cut the program. 2025-06-17 16:45:40
So I prefer to see maybe cutting it. 2025-06-17 16:45:46
But not. 2025-06-17 16:45:49
Thank you. 2025-06-17 16:45:52
Thanks Sir. 2025-06-17 16:45:54
How? 2025-06-17 16:45:58
Good evening, holy trash. 2025-06-17 16:46:04
811 West St. New Albany, IN. 2025-06-17 16:46:07
So I've been a resident of Floyd County for about 12. 2025-06-17 16:46:10
Coming up on 20 years now and I've been. 2025-06-17 16:46:13
Recycling since I moved here. It's something I've been very proud of since I moved. 2025-06-17 16:46:16
Here's Albany and Floyd County. So obvious. 2025-06-17 16:46:19
They were very upset to hear that they were wanting to get rid of. 2025-06-17 16:46:22
You know it's a great program and you know the web. 2025-06-17 16:46:25
Like great the program. 2025-06-17 16:46:28
Then is trying to become a community hub, you know, like I. 2025-06-17 16:46:31
On the website today, like they're trying to do like a canned food. 2025-06-17 16:46:34
For for the whole program. 2025-06-17 16:46:37
You know what? I think that's great also. 2025-06-17 16:46:40
Being here so that it's also good for businesses to be here as well. 2025-06-17 16:46:43
And more revenue, so. 2025-06-17 16:46:46
The most thing I'm worried about that really brought me here tonight is that. 2025-06-17 16:46:49
Hazardous waste that is not gonna have anywhere to go. 2025-06-17 16:46:52
Is this program goes away? 2025-06-17 16:46:55
I understand that that is the service that is paid for. 2025-06-17 16:46:58
I don't think any neighboring program is going to allow that Most of the. 2025-06-17 16:47:04
They run on the website. Nope, you have to be a resident of this. 2025-06-17 16:47:07
For the state in order to bring those hazardous materials where they don't. 2025-06-17 16:47:10
Going to go, you know they're going to get them off the ground. 2025-06-17 16:47:13
For all different types of things that are, that's not great for the investment. 2025-06-17 16:47:19
So I mean, this is, this is a government for. 2025-06-17 16:47:25
It's not supposed to make money. 2025-06-17 16:47:28
Point of government is to provide these services. 2025-06-17 16:47:31
You know overall not you know it shouldn't be. 2025-06-17 16:47:34
Just kind of a quick fix to shore up a budget. 2025-06-17 16:47:37
That's not really that's not fair to the environment. Why should the environment happen? 2025-06-17 16:47:40
For that, and I also agree with Mr. Moore's comment. 2025-06-17 16:47:43
And about, you know, yeah, there is a lot of I have no. 2025-06-17 16:47:46
For essential functions. 2025-06-17 16:47:55
I you know, I know that some are are not used to that. 2025-06-17 16:47:58
Thank you. 2025-06-17 16:48:04
Andrew. 2025-06-17 16:48:07
I believe it's Rick. 2025-06-17 16:48:10
Breaker, Sorry about my terrible handwriting. Don't. 2025-06-17 16:48:16
New Albany, Florida County School if that happens before I drove here. 2025-06-17 16:48:19
Uh, 3813 Dogwood Road and Floyds Knight. 2025-06-17 16:48:22
You know, I'm also long. 2025-06-17 16:48:25
What county resident I've seen how the recycling? 2025-06-17 16:48:28
Program grew from a trailer at Saint Mary. 2025-06-17 16:48:31
One day of the week to the large facility. 2025-06-17 16:48:34
Galena, William Park and now most. 2025-06-17 16:48:37
Wednesdays I'm at the Galena library. 2025-06-17 16:48:40
Using services there. 2025-06-17 16:48:43
It's great to see that investment. I would really hate to see. 2025-06-17 16:48:46
The work that Floyd County residents have done. 2025-06-17 16:48:49
And invested in that go to. 2025-06-17 16:48:52
Also certainly want to commence the employees of the. 2025-06-17 16:48:55
Certainly wanna look at. 2025-06-17 16:48:58
For their future, I know they're. 2025-06-17 16:49:01
Recycling unit but when I got a flat tire on 260. 2025-06-17 16:49:04
Five couple months ago, one of the. 2025-06-17 16:49:07
Said hey, did you have car trouble? I wanted to stop but I didn't have. 2025-06-17 16:49:10
Have enough time to do that and I can't think of any other. 2025-06-17 16:49:13
Public servants that just. 2025-06-17 16:49:16
Show me from passing. 2025-06-17 16:49:19
Through once a week and would want to help out folks. 2025-06-17 16:49:22
I'm also a volunteer at the VPN for Hope Southern Indiana and we're. 2025-06-17 16:49:25
We're certainly grateful for the Solid Waste District and their. 2025-06-17 16:49:28
With collecting up handy. 2025-06-17 16:49:31
Good from donations to Floyd County residents. 2025-06-17 16:49:34
But we got through a lot of cardboard, as you might have. 2025-06-17 16:49:37
Just like the florist and. 2025-06-17 16:49:40
Our mission To serve. 2025-06-17 16:49:43
The media presidents of Floyd County and southern Indiana. 2025-06-17 16:49:46
Would be severely Hanford if we have to figure out that. 2025-06-17 16:49:49
Another way to dispose of this, not just the environment. 2025-06-17 16:49:52
Cost, of course, of having. 2025-06-17 16:49:55
Other way having to take money out of our tight budget but. 2025-06-17 16:49:58
It's hard to. 2025-06-17 16:50:01
Operate a food pantry when there's a bunch of. 2025-06-17 16:50:04
Going up, and that's an important public service. 2025-06-17 16:50:07
The recycling is so important as it is. 2025-06-17 16:50:10
But it also helps other public services. 2025-06-17 16:50:13
Happen in our great county so. 2025-06-17 16:50:16
I am here as part of it. Thank you. Thank you. 2025-06-17 16:50:19
Alright. 2025-06-17 16:50:22
I hope I get this one right as well. Susan is it? 2025-06-17 16:50:25
OK. 2025-06-17 16:50:29
You think I get that one right? 2025-06-17 16:50:31
Three questions you haven't really pronounced directly. 2025-06-17 16:50:38
Which Recycling 1 is? 2025-06-17 16:50:40
I kept these meetings rescheduled and people are. 2025-06-17 16:50:44
Involved in their work. 2025-06-17 16:50:46
You know, later in the evening. That's it. 2025-06-17 16:50:50
Question for you guys and. 2025-06-17 16:50:52
We we get the tribute to the. 2025-06-17 16:50:59
We're not into this intrusion. Is that how you find out about? 2025-06-17 16:51:01
Is there a better way to get? 2025-06-17 16:51:05
OK. 2025-06-17 16:51:07
Recycling is what does it say? 2025-06-17 16:51:11
About our community because we don't recycle. 2025-06-17 16:51:14
It does doesn't sound good. 2025-06-17 16:51:17
What does it say about our community that we can't? 2025-06-17 16:51:20
Not managed to recycle. 2025-06-17 16:51:22
Denise Cockle. 2025-06-17 16:51:29
Denny's Conco. 2025-06-17 16:51:40
County Council I read about this. 2025-06-17 16:51:50
In the paper on a Saturday morning. 2025-06-17 16:51:53
I did nothing about this before that. 2025-06-17 16:51:56
I don't know why we. 2025-06-17 16:51:59
The recycling program. 2025-06-17 16:52:05
I don't know is it financial related because. 2025-06-17 16:52:08
I'm a member of the fiduciary body. 2025-06-17 16:52:11
And do nothing about it. 2025-06-17 16:52:14
How did you know that you had my to support this? 2025-06-17 16:52:17
We do. 2025-06-17 16:52:20
We do have money to support the program. 2025-06-17 16:52:23
I don't expect you as normal. 2025-06-17 16:52:26
And I can show you where we can support. 2025-06-17 16:52:29
Program and we could do it really. 2025-06-17 16:52:32
Without using taxi or doc. 2025-06-17 16:52:35
If we want to do that, we have riverboat. 2025-06-17 16:52:38
I'm sitting out here right now upset. 2025-06-17 16:52:41
$1000. 2025-06-17 16:52:44
It's not appropriate for this year and. 2025-06-17 16:52:47
Up to $1,000,000 next year. 2025-06-17 16:52:50
So I don't know if we're doing this because. 2025-06-17 16:52:53
That's a budgetary strength. 2025-06-17 16:52:56
Umm, I got the feeling that that's what other people. 2025-06-17 16:52:59
Why other people thought we were doing this? 2025-06-17 16:53:02
I don't know. Is there an answer why we're doing this? 2025-06-17 16:53:05
No answer. 2025-06-17 16:53:08
Is it right? 2025-06-17 16:53:11
Plan. If we do away with this program, is there another plan? 2025-06-17 16:53:14
In place, four people of. 2025-06-17 16:53:17
No answer, ma'am. This is not your first. 2025-06-17 16:53:23
Time of the public meeting you, you understand this is this. 2025-06-17 16:53:26
For your opportunity to speak, this is a question and answer, but it. 2025-06-17 16:53:29
I understand everybody here would be happy to speak to anyone after this. 2025-06-17 16:53:32
The meeting so OK I have it and the first time. 2025-06-17 16:53:35
Heard about this and I'm a I'm a leader in the community. 2025-06-17 16:53:38
And we had joint meetings every. 2025-06-17 16:53:41
And this could have brought been brought up. 2025-06-17 16:53:44
And this could have been discussed as whether it was. 2025-06-17 16:53:47
To continue this program. 2025-06-17 16:53:50
That is, I will. I will leave. 2025-06-17 16:53:53
With the numbers we have the money to do. 2025-06-17 16:53:56
And this definitely says. 2025-06-17 16:54:02
Wrong message to our family. 2025-06-17 16:54:05
Our kids to our my grandkids. 2025-06-17 16:54:08
I have a four year old that asked me. 2025-06-17 16:54:11
It's the background for recycling. 2025-06-17 16:54:14
And we want to do away with it. 2025-06-17 16:54:17
Your program I I don't, I don't. 2025-06-17 16:54:20
I don't understand any of these. Is it fine? 2025-06-17 16:54:23
Actually, is it finances? Is it a different? 2025-06-17 16:54:26
Reason. Is there another plan? 2025-06-17 16:54:29
I don't know what. 2025-06-17 16:54:32
You're over about. 2025-06-17 16:54:35
Thank you. 2025-06-17 16:54:38
Thank you. 2025-06-17 16:54:41
All right, I have. 2025-06-17 16:54:47
I hate that. Like yes ma'am, they. 2025-06-17 16:54:50
I have to have an opportunity to speak. 2025-06-17 16:54:53
Thank you. I appreciate it. I. 2025-06-17 16:54:56
Wrapped up work early today is going to be here. 2025-06-17 16:54:59
My name is Lily Lugins. My address is 4/3/03. 2025-06-17 16:55:02
It was my understanding. 2025-06-17 16:55:08
That the consideration. 2025-06-17 16:55:11
For any of the recycling program, is as a result of. 2025-06-17 16:55:14
Reduction in income, or I should say at. 2025-06-17 16:55:17
That the local government will have it. 2025-06-17 16:55:20
As a consequence of changes that have been made to attack. 2025-06-17 16:55:23
By that General Assembly specifically to reduction. 2025-06-17 16:55:26
Property taxes that may be correct. 2025-06-17 16:55:29
Correct. First thing I want to say is that that is true if any. 2025-06-17 16:55:32
That the General Assembly has done this to. 2025-06-17 16:55:35
I can do about that now. I was against the. 2025-06-17 16:55:41
Property taxes because a lot of these reduction in taxes. 2025-06-17 16:55:44
It's a three card market. They cut it. 2025-06-17 16:55:47
We're happy with them. And then you all get cut and we and and. 2025-06-17 16:55:50
Angry with you. And that's that's not the way that it should. 2025-06-17 16:55:53
I do want to say. 2025-06-17 16:55:56
My husband and I moved here from Louisville 21 years. 2025-06-17 16:55:59
So we've been using a recycling program. 2025-06-17 16:56:02
And we've been, really. 2025-06-17 16:56:08
Prestwick Lloyd County in general and one of the reasons. 2025-06-17 16:56:11
This is why is the recycling program I am a. 2025-06-17 16:56:14
Former environmental attorney, I do believe. 2025-06-17 16:56:17
We can't protect the environment so we can continue to live our mind. 2025-06-17 16:56:20
A life without a lot of. 2025-06-17 16:56:23
Household hazardous waste in Silver Creek. 2025-06-17 16:56:26
Have you? But the other thing is that. 2025-06-17 16:56:29
Cycling has been beneficial to us financially because it we. 2025-06-17 16:56:32
Reduces our solid waste produced by our house by. 2025-06-17 16:56:35
About half, probably, which means that. 2025-06-17 16:56:38
Solid waste service so that. 2025-06-17 16:56:44
We need that we've got less than 110 instead. 2025-06-17 16:56:47
So we're paying less. 2025-06-17 16:56:50
So the cost of ending the recycling program? 2025-06-17 16:56:53
Is going to simply shift to other areas people? 2025-06-17 16:56:57
Going to have to pay more because they're going to have more. 2025-06-17 16:56:59
Municipalities that pay for disposal waste, they're going to have. 2025-06-17 16:57:03
Have to pay more? 2025-06-17 16:57:05
Landfills will fill up. The utilization will include. 2025-06-17 16:57:09
We will need more, which means find. 2025-06-17 16:57:12
Land supply land preparing it for land. 2025-06-17 16:57:14
We will see the cost elsewhere, so thank you for you. 2025-06-17 16:57:18
Thank you. Real quick before you leave, can I get your name just one more? 2025-06-17 16:57:21
How I I didn't get a chance to write it down. 2025-06-17 16:57:24
No. 2025-06-17 16:57:27
That'd be great. Thank you so much. 2025-06-17 16:57:30
Yes, ma'am, we have not passed. 2025-06-17 16:57:33
Can I get your name as well? My name is Debbie Hackman. 2025-06-17 16:57:39
My address is 3323 E County Road, Porter. 2025-06-17 16:57:42
On the solid waste district. 2025-06-17 16:57:45
I've met some of you before. I'm also there. 2025-06-17 16:57:48
India state solid waste. 2025-06-17 16:57:51
The Rural Community Development program and I want to recycle. 2025-06-17 16:57:54
Market Development Board for the State of Indiana UMM. 2025-06-17 16:57:57
We were. We were surprised and saddened to hear that. 2025-06-17 16:58:00
I'm thinking about eliminating and when I tell them I want to. 2025-06-17 16:58:03
Forget my wording straight, are you talking about this? 2025-06-17 16:58:06
Eliminating a solid waste district. 2025-06-17 16:58:09
Completely. 2025-06-17 16:58:12
I don't know that this is not a question and answer set. 2025-06-17 16:58:18
OK, well I want to make sure that I mentioned it. 2025-06-17 16:58:21
If you are limiting consolidation history. 2025-06-17 16:58:24
You still up? I just have to. 2025-06-17 16:58:27
Provide the same programs that they are providing now. 2025-06-17 16:58:30
I have to find funding for this and I know they should get funded out of edit fund. 2025-06-17 16:58:33
And I know because it may be because of the federal war. 2025-06-17 16:58:36
You're going to have to maybe move some some. 2025-06-17 16:58:39
This is that no one from this board has. 2025-06-17 16:58:45
UMM has approached. 2025-06-17 16:58:48
Indiana Association of Solid Waste District who can help you? 2025-06-17 16:58:51
With your budgeting can help you look at your budget if you find. 2025-06-17 16:58:54
More sources of revenue maybe and find some. 2025-06-17 16:58:57
Something that you couldn't tell? Or do you have a cheaper price? No. 2025-06-17 16:59:00
It's called the Indiana World Community. 2025-06-17 16:59:03
This is a program that I work for and ask for help. 2025-06-17 16:59:06
And helping your budget and maybe looking at this and how do we. 2025-06-17 16:59:09
People happy and still have recycling and. 2025-06-17 16:59:12
How much their habit of waste program. 2025-06-17 16:59:15
And maybe we can find the money. 2025-06-17 16:59:18
Now eliminating it completely. OK, uh, if I. 2025-06-17 16:59:21
Great thing going here. And the other thing is? 2025-06-17 16:59:24
Two years ago, you received a grant from the. 2025-06-17 16:59:27
Market development award you purchase asset. 2025-06-17 16:59:30
One thing I I would like you to speak with. 2025-06-17 16:59:33
That is what's gonna happen to those assets that hasn't asked them. 2025-06-17 16:59:36
Because those can be sold because they work in. 2025-06-17 16:59:39
Doing good things that they were going to be used for recycling program. 2025-06-17 16:59:42
So that's one thing that if you. 2025-06-17 16:59:45
Using it for this this idea of eliminating the program. 2025-06-17 16:59:48
That's something you need to check into, because that could be a. 2025-06-17 16:59:51
You know anything else could be concerned about that? 2025-06-17 16:59:54
Thank you. All right. 2025-06-17 16:59:57
That concludes that portion of our public. 2025-06-17 17:00:00
Comment Umm, I'll go ahead and open up the floor to the. 2025-06-17 17:00:03
Other board members if they have. 2025-06-17 17:00:06
Further comments they would like to make regarding this matter. 2025-06-17 17:00:09
I'll be happy to start. 2025-06-17 17:00:15
But unless you would like to die. 2025-06-17 17:00:18
Then back. 2025-06-17 17:00:21
Well, you know, I've been pretty young. 2025-06-17 17:00:24
Spoken over the last several months. 2025-06-17 17:00:27
About some of the legislation that has. 2025-06-17 17:00:30
Been passed that could have. 2025-06-17 17:00:33
To everyone of our communities, to the point where. 2025-06-17 17:00:36
I can't imagine that there's any community out right now that. 2025-06-17 17:00:39
Not examining the services they. 2025-06-17 17:00:42
And and how they're gonna provide those services. Umm. 2025-06-17 17:00:45
You know, we're, we have not just the county government. 2025-06-17 17:00:48
But we got school, we have fire departments, we have libraries. 2025-06-17 17:00:51
We have municipalities that are all getting ready to. 2025-06-17 17:00:54
Take a significant decrease in the amount of funding. 2025-06-17 17:00:57
That they have to provide service. 2025-06-17 17:01:00
And I've been very clear. 2025-06-17 17:01:03
Over the last couple months that. 2025-06-17 17:01:06
My job is to make sure that the services that we're statutory. 2025-06-17 17:01:09
Orally responsible for providing. 2025-06-17 17:01:12
2020 in 2017, that's correct. 2025-06-17 17:02:32
And the way that our lawyers have counseled us. 2025-06-17 17:02:35
With regards to that statute is. 2025-06-17 17:02:38
We don't have to have any services available. 2025-06-17 17:02:41
After that, that's their legal interpretation I have. 2025-06-17 17:02:44
Be returning to look into that for us. 2025-06-17 17:02:47
So the legality of that has been looked into and also looked into. 2025-06-17 17:02:53
Legality of the grants that are out there as well. 2025-06-17 17:02:56
Understanding that as long as we go beyond a certain number. 2025-06-17 17:02:59
With those and we're not under any. 2025-06-17 17:03:02
Scrutiny or were not in violation of any. 2025-06-17 17:03:05
Receipt of those grants, in order, we have to repay them. 2025-06-17 17:03:08
But certainly if we found out that we. 2025-06-17 17:03:11
Sideways with that and that equipment would either go back. 2025-06-17 17:03:14
Or the money. 2025-06-17 17:03:17
If it was turned out, If it turned out that was illegal myself. 2025-06-17 17:03:20
We discussed this publicly. This. 2025-06-17 17:03:26
More than once, I mean, we had discussion. 2025-06-17 17:03:29
Moratorium and during those discussions I'm not even. 2025-06-17 17:03:32
Talking about, we weren't exactly sure what path we were doing. 2025-06-17 17:03:35
Have to go down whether we're going to have to go outdoors. 2025-06-17 17:03:38
Thing was, they're going to have a discontinuation of this but. 2025-06-17 17:03:41
This is not the first time this has been on the radar. 2025-06-17 17:03:44
With regards to the paper, I know. 2025-06-17 17:03:47
Circulation dwindles, we still average. 2025-06-17 17:03:50
Archives and that we are on Facebook. 2025-06-17 17:03:53
Books on the commissioner's page and I know there's a very active. 2025-06-17 17:03:57
Communication that goes on within. 2025-06-17 17:03:59
The recycling community as well. 2025-06-17 17:04:02
So unfortunately it seems like the more ways we have to. 2025-06-17 17:04:06
Communicate with one another in the less effective. 2025-06-17 17:04:08
Also doing public service for 10 years now I will take. 2025-06-17 17:04:15
There's no great time to have a meeting, uh, people? 2025-06-17 17:04:18
People work at all hours. We have a 10 AM this morning for redevelop. 2025-06-17 17:04:21
Had a few attendees. We'll have a six PM tonight so there's not. 2025-06-17 17:04:24
Any 9:00 to 5:00 work. 2025-06-17 17:04:27
Forth anymore out there Monday through. 2025-06-17 17:04:29
Friday everybody's working all hours, so I know that that's inconvenient for. 2025-06-17 17:04:33
Ha. 2025-06-17 17:04:36
With regards to where the money made. 2025-06-17 17:04:38
Going I'm always. 2025-06-17 17:04:42
A little format when people think that if this is cut out the. 2025-06-17 17:04:45
We're really going to be lying in our pockets with it. 2025-06-17 17:04:48
It doesn't happen that way right now. 2025-06-17 17:04:51
I will tell you that we're projecting probably. 2025-06-17 17:04:54
We need to replace 10. 2025-06-17 17:04:57
No files over the next 5 to 8 years within the. 2025-06-17 17:05:00
County vast majority of. 2025-06-17 17:05:03
Next week was purchased in 2016 and 2017 with a hot. 2025-06-17 17:05:06
Revenue was received and. 2025-06-17 17:05:09
Purchased a couple of years ago, there have been no white. 2025-06-17 17:05:12
Replacement each one of those. 2025-06-17 17:05:15
Large tandem trucks run about 200 and. 2025-06-17 17:05:18
$50,000 apiece. 2025-06-17 17:05:20
And. 2025-06-17 17:05:21
We're looking at the county of trying to replace. 2025-06-17 17:05:24
Equipment trying to do it with offset from the. 2025-06-17 17:05:27
Budget rather than having to raise taxes and revenue. 2025-06-17 17:05:30
To do that that work really. 2025-06-17 17:05:33
Should have begun a few years ago. 2025-06-17 17:05:36
It's going to begin this year, but I can. 2025-06-17 17:05:39
Say 1 tandem chart of $250,000 that was quote. 2025-06-17 17:05:42
Two years ago, so I imagine it's only gone up. 2025-06-17 17:05:45
So more than likely that's where. 2025-06-17 17:05:48
This portion of this money is going to go. 2025-06-17 17:05:51
I believe that we probably. 2025-06-17 17:05:54
Could use river belt money for a year or two but I don't think it's a month. 2025-06-17 17:05:57
Long term with regards to this. 2025-06-17 17:06:00
And I don't think anybody in this room can tell us what can. 2025-06-17 17:06:03
To happen with the projected custom. 2025-06-17 17:06:06
Revenue from the property taxes, even the Department of Law. 2025-06-17 17:06:09
Local government finance tells us that we can't. 2025-06-17 17:06:12
Count on anything until quote UN quote. It happens. 2025-06-17 17:06:15
And that's no way to do business. 2025-06-17 17:06:18
One final thought. 2025-06-17 17:06:21
Umm, you know, as in. 2025-06-17 17:06:24
Government services consist of providing. 2025-06-17 17:06:27
Safety, in my opinion, providing for infrastructure, Brian, correct. 2025-06-17 17:06:30
Providing for some healthcare measures. 2025-06-17 17:06:33
I think that you could discuss. 2025-06-17 17:06:36
Recycling programs and education. 2025-06-17 17:06:39
Providing for the COM. 2025-06-17 17:06:41
A result said. You know, that is the cost of business. 2025-06-17 17:08:06
Sometimes it gets passed on to the consumer. 2025-06-17 17:08:09
But those are my. 2025-06-17 17:08:12
Not all of my thoughts, and probably best that I. 2025-06-17 17:08:15
Give everybody all my thoughts at anyone time effort because. 2025-06-17 17:08:18
I could be a little bit of a dangerous place at times, you know? 2025-06-17 17:08:21
That's what is front of mind. 2025-06-17 17:08:24
Right now with regards to death, so. 2025-06-17 17:08:27
Those are my comments at the moment of this Mike I. 2025-06-17 17:08:30
Thank you. 2025-06-17 17:08:33
Any other comments? 2025-06-17 17:08:36
I'd like to say hotel. 2025-06-17 17:08:39
Concur with Mr. Sharp, Mr. 2025-06-17 17:08:42
We need to figure out what's in my mind what? 2025-06-17 17:08:48
Very important is public safety and infrastructure. 2025-06-17 17:08:51
I guess I could put. 2025-06-17 17:08:54
Just into my bucket of public safety, especially with the. 2025-06-17 17:08:57
As this material. 2025-06-17 17:09:00
We all know that. 2025-06-17 17:09:00
Problem I mean in the old days when you. 2025-06-17 17:09:03
Orgasm compatriot mechanics dump it out. 2025-06-17 17:09:07
Around and walk away. Well, we don't do that anymore. 2025-06-17 17:09:10
Paint where? 2025-06-17 17:09:12
And said the other day we'll make the paper from Latex pay. 2025-06-17 17:09:16
Wow, that's more of like it shouldn't have been. 2025-06-17 17:09:19
That was on the contractor. He should have disposed them more properly. 2025-06-17 17:09:22
But then again, just looking. 2025-06-17 17:09:25
Back or you know, I'll date myself, but. 2025-06-17 17:09:28
I know in this it hadn't been that long ago, but. 2025-06-17 17:09:31
That was guys that rode around pickup truck looking for. 2025-06-17 17:09:34
Cardboard. I mean, they would and they. 2025-06-17 17:09:37
Take it down Riverside Recycling and. 2025-06-17 17:09:40
I got myself a mentor, Social Security or whatever. I don't. 2025-06-17 17:09:43
But I and furthermore just. 2025-06-17 17:09:46
Anything that we could that we're doing that we. 2025-06-17 17:09:49
Get private enterprise to do it. 2025-06-17 17:09:52
Better for everybody concerning Mr. 2025-06-17 17:09:55
Pointed out in the city. 2025-06-17 17:09:58
We pay a separate fee for recycling. 2025-06-17 17:10:01
I just wonder if the company. 2025-06-17 17:10:04
Provide. 2025-06-17 17:10:07
Disposal in the county would be amicable to. 2025-06-17 17:10:10
Having a separate truck like in New Albany. 2025-06-17 17:10:13
Equotech. They come down my alley with a garbage truck they can. 2025-06-17 17:10:16
Down my alley with a recycling truck. I just wonder if. 2025-06-17 17:10:19
Private enterprise would be amicable to doing that. 2025-06-17 17:10:22
4 feet, That's just my fault. 2025-06-17 17:10:25
Thank you. 2025-06-17 17:10:28
So. 2025-06-17 17:10:31
I want to begin my thoughts by making a. 2025-06-17 17:10:34
Observation as the. 2025-06-17 17:10:37
Loan representatives of the city. 2025-06-17 17:10:40
Government. 2025-06-17 17:10:43
The first thing you know, like knowledge, is what you. 2025-06-17 17:10:46
You all have said that we as a city do have overseas. 2025-06-17 17:10:49
Recycling program and that will. 2025-06-17 17:10:52
You regardless of. 2025-06-17 17:10:55
Any changes necessitated? 2025-06-17 17:10:58
Here or with the. 2025-06-17 17:11:01
Solid weight program so. 2025-06-17 17:11:04
Government has viewed that as a priority. 2025-06-17 17:11:07
We have a fee for vet for that and we'll continue to provide. 2025-06-17 17:11:10
That we're city residents. 2025-06-17 17:11:13
We receive a value from some. 2025-06-17 17:11:16
Solid waste is with those hazards. 2025-06-17 17:11:19
Materials. 2025-06-17 17:11:22
It's with the electronics. 2025-06-17 17:11:25
Because there isn't a similar. 2025-06-17 17:11:28
Component to our results. 2025-06-17 17:11:31
Cycling program and that is something that. 2025-06-17 17:11:34
I think all of our residents county wide. 2025-06-17 17:11:37
Can benefit from. 2025-06-17 17:11:40
I appreciate. 2025-06-17 17:11:46
And joined with all of. 2025-06-17 17:11:49
You in the frustration that. 2025-06-17 17:11:52
I think that our state legislators have. 2025-06-17 17:11:55
Missed the mark. I think they. 2025-06-17 17:11:58
Failed to appropriately address. 2025-06-17 17:12:01
The key problem and in roughing. 2025-06-17 17:12:04
To arrive at. 2025-06-17 17:12:07
Solution they have created. 2025-06-17 17:12:10
A series of. 2025-06-17 17:12:13
Local problems with schools. 2025-06-17 17:12:16
With local government and. 2025-06-17 17:12:19
I do expect that. 2025-06-17 17:12:22
Most entities at those levels will have. 2025-06-17 17:12:25
To make decisions about how. 2025-06-17 17:12:28
Incorporate those cuts, whether it be. 2025-06-17 17:12:31
Production in services whether it be and implementing. 2025-06-17 17:12:34
Of a new tax that they particularly also wrote in. 2025-06-17 17:12:37
Legislation so they. 2025-06-17 17:12:40
Made some provision for, but those will be. 2025-06-17 17:12:43
Things that that will have to be dealt with. 2025-06-17 17:12:46
What I think I. 2025-06-17 17:12:49
I would prefer before we. 2025-06-17 17:12:52
Jump to a conversation. 2025-06-17 17:12:55
About outright eliminating something. 2025-06-17 17:12:58
Is to develop a plan. 2025-06-17 17:13:01
For what that would look like. 2025-06-17 17:13:04
If the county, for example, wants to have Congress. 2025-06-17 17:13:07
Conversations and employ. 2025-06-17 17:13:10
Tech or a similar waste management system to. 2025-06-17 17:13:13
Do residential recycling pickup. 2025-06-17 17:13:16
I would like to have those conversa. 2025-06-17 17:13:19
So that we know what we're transitioning to and the. 2025-06-17 17:13:22
Can be aware of that and we can all know the. 2025-06-17 17:13:25
Have a plan if the plan is to. 2025-06-17 17:13:28
Do not have any recycling services. 2025-06-17 17:13:31
I think that we should at least have a conversation. 2025-06-17 17:13:34
Conversation about how we're going to provide for. 2025-06-17 17:13:37
Some of these hazardous conditions. 2025-06-17 17:13:40
And I also. 2025-06-17 17:13:43
Have. 2025-06-17 17:13:46
A concern. 2025-06-17 17:13:49
For our team. 2025-06-17 17:13:52
Our team has done an. 2025-06-17 17:13:55
Excellent job of building this program. 2025-06-17 17:13:58
Over a number of years. 2025-06-17 17:14:01
They provide education they provide. 2025-06-17 17:14:04
The waste management. 2025-06-17 17:14:07
In many ways. 2025-06-17 17:14:10
I would argue that having this service. 2025-06-17 17:14:13
Also helps reduce some of the. 2025-06-17 17:14:16
Trash and debris and waste that might other. 2025-06-17 17:14:19
End up along the side of the road or. 2025-06-17 17:14:22
Hillsides or wherever. 2025-06-17 17:14:25
To Dale Point, yeah. 2025-06-17 17:14:28
That that was how a lot of people dealt with oil, that was. 2025-06-17 17:14:31
How a lot of people dealt with paint with tires. 2025-06-17 17:14:35
Al and I. 2025-06-17 17:14:37
March around Silver Hills and to this day probably. 2025-06-17 17:14:41
Find somewhere where someone is thrown out tires. 2025-06-17 17:14:44
In a otherwise you know. 2025-06-17 17:14:47
Vacant sections of property. 2025-06-17 17:14:53
And I think that. 2025-06-17 17:14:55
I think those are the things that that. 2025-06-17 17:14:59
It would be right to be explored. 2025-06-17 17:15:02
I will defer to Mike. 2025-06-17 17:15:05
County colleagues about. 2025-06-17 17:15:08
Some of their financial constraints. 2025-06-17 17:15:11
We can't address and answer that for them. 2025-06-17 17:15:13
Them. Nor should they. 2025-06-17 17:15:17
Inform me as a city. 2025-06-17 17:15:20
But either of how we should always. 2025-06-17 17:15:23
Do that. 2025-06-17 17:15:26
But I do think that maybe. 2025-06-17 17:15:29
There would be some some YS. 2025-06-17 17:15:32
Thought to actually move it. 2025-06-17 17:15:35
When we did the moratorium, I. 2025-06-17 17:15:38
I thought that what we would do is. 2025-06-17 17:15:41
Go through a process and I voted for the moratorium because I thought. 2025-06-17 17:15:44
Thought that was a prudent first step to make sure. 2025-06-17 17:15:47
That our costs. 2025-06-17 17:15:50
Reined in and we appreciated the severity. 2025-06-17 17:15:53
Of the situation and were able to make. 2025-06-17 17:15:56
Make adjustments. 2025-06-17 17:15:59
I think you know to the point. 2025-06-17 17:16:02
Al made. I think you're right. Perhaps we don't. 2025-06-17 17:16:05
Want to use riverboat money at the county? 2025-06-17 17:16:08
Seeds that come in from other places. 2025-06-17 17:16:11
As a continuing source. 2025-06-17 17:16:13
But perhaps. 2025-06-17 17:16:14
Apps that would give us a period of time. 2025-06-17 17:16:17
Over the next year. 2025-06-17 17:16:20
To decide. 2025-06-17 17:16:23
What direction is the best and what options? 2025-06-17 17:16:26
Have and and come up with that plan. 2025-06-17 17:16:29
Umm, you know, I think we've we. 2025-06-17 17:16:32
Models and have done that in other ways, whether it be Regard. 2025-06-17 17:16:35
Bring our our assets or facilities. 2025-06-17 17:16:38
Other sorts of things and so I guess. 2025-06-17 17:16:41
The point that I would make is. 2025-06-17 17:16:44
You know, I understand the need to. 2025-06-17 17:16:47
Face the reality. 2025-06-17 17:16:50
I guess I'm just wondering if we're if. 2025-06-17 17:16:53
Feels like we're moving to a final decision. 2025-06-17 17:16:56
Before we've had a chance to read. 2025-06-17 17:16:59
Really do some evaluation and look at some. 2025-06-17 17:17:02
Options collectively at the board. 2025-06-17 17:17:05
Any other comments? 2025-06-17 17:17:14
I've got a couple, I've just been here since January. 2025-06-17 17:17:17
This topic has been on the agenda. 2025-06-17 17:17:20
Meeting that I've been at. 2025-06-17 17:17:23
So this is my 12th meeting. 2025-06-17 17:17:26
And we've been talking about it and if you want to. 2025-06-17 17:17:29
Serve the public. Maybe we should get the city. 2025-06-17 17:17:32
Together and we can solve these problems together. 2025-06-17 17:17:35
That we serve all of the public instead of whether you. 2025-06-17 17:17:38
You live in the city or the county? 2025-06-17 17:17:41
Ever, ma'am? 2025-06-17 17:17:47
Any other comments? 2025-06-17 17:17:50
All right, so. 2025-06-17 17:17:53
Given the fact that we want to make sure. 2025-06-17 17:17:56
Public has ample time to speak today. 2025-06-17 17:17:59
About some of the. 2025-06-17 17:18:02
Issues revolving around the South. 2025-06-17 17:18:05
I'd like to recommend that. 2025-06-17 17:18:08
That we accept the directive reported presented. 2025-06-17 17:18:11
Umm, yeah. 2025-06-17 17:18:14
Yeah. 2025-06-17 17:18:17
Other than that, OK. 2025-06-17 17:18:23
So I I moved to accept the director support. 2025-06-17 17:18:26
I'll second. OK, got a motion by Al. 2025-06-17 17:18:32
And a second by Frank to accept. 2025-06-17 17:18:35
The directors report as submitted. 2025-06-17 17:18:38
Further discussion. 2025-06-17 17:18:40
All in favor signal. 2025-06-17 17:18:44
If I was saying aye aye aye aye, any opposed? 2025-06-17 17:18:47
Motion carried. 2025-06-17 17:18:50
Umm. 2025-06-17 17:18:50
I'll go ahead and open up public comment. 2025-06-17 17:18:53
Are you looking for any general recommendation on this file? 2025-06-17 17:18:56
In legal counsel correctly if I'm in. 2025-06-17 17:19:02
Correct, but no formal correct. 2025-06-17 17:19:05
Accommodation required from this body, that is. 2025-06-17 17:19:08
Correct. And if the public knows anything? 2025-06-17 17:19:11
Vote would have to go through the Commission. 2025-06-17 17:19:14
I may do remote as well as the kind of council. 2025-06-17 17:19:17
That is correct, both of those bodies. 2025-06-17 17:19:20
Associated with that which would include. 2025-06-17 17:20:41
What would happen with assets and debts of? 2025-06-17 17:20:44
Umm and what plan is in? 2025-06-17 17:20:47
Exist for services that were provided. 2025-06-17 17:20:50
Not to say there has to be any plan. 2025-06-17 17:20:53
There, but even if that plan is for private citizens. 2025-06-17 17:20:56
To contract for their own services or. 2025-06-17 17:20:59
There's some plan for a hazardous waste type separate. 2025-06-17 17:21:02
Contract that's not under solid waste or whatever that plan may look. 2025-06-17 17:21:06
Like those are some different things were reported this evening so I'm throwing. 2025-06-17 17:21:09
Out there. So that final ordinance. 2025-06-17 17:21:11
To dissolve by the commissioners would include that plan. 2025-06-17 17:21:15
Right. And that's why I want to emphasize because of what? 2025-06-17 17:21:18
Other times it looks like these things are final actions, like. 2025-06-17 17:21:21
And hey, we're voting today or we're voting tomorrow, and that's it. 2025-06-17 17:21:24
If there's. 2025-06-17 17:21:27
At a minimum, you have a. 2025-06-17 17:21:30
80 days still to have public input. 2025-06-17 17:21:33
Commissioners meeting each council meeting because of the end. 2025-06-17 17:21:36
Each committee meeting we have. 2025-06-17 17:21:38
Or you might. 2025-06-17 17:21:39
Basically for any non agenda item. 2025-06-17 17:21:42
You can usually arrange to have. 2025-06-17 17:21:45
Coffee with one of us whenever you want to. 2025-06-17 17:21:48
Or council folks and. 2025-06-17 17:21:51
We're going to have multiple joint meetings between now and then. 2025-06-17 17:21:54
And during those 180 days? 2025-06-17 17:21:57
The boats could be. 2025-06-17 17:22:00
There could be changes in mind, changes of heart. 2025-06-17 17:22:03
Plans coming up. This is a time. 2025-06-17 17:22:06
To gather information, but so often it looks. 2025-06-17 17:22:09
Like this is a final vote and it's not. 2025-06-17 17:22:12
Many of these. 2025-06-17 17:22:15
Board and department. 2025-06-17 17:22:18
Have built within them a time frame where it takes time. 2025-06-17 17:22:21
Dissolve. Deconstruct from how? 2025-06-17 17:22:24
We want to do it, and that time is baked in there purposefully. 2025-06-17 17:22:27
So that it doesn't come before. 2025-06-17 17:22:30
Multiple times so. 2025-06-17 17:22:33
All right, so anyway, no. 2025-06-17 17:22:36
Required from this before the commissioners and then that's the time. 2025-06-17 17:22:39
That is correct. 2025-06-17 17:22:42
Alright, I'll open up. 2025-06-17 17:22:45
Public comment for any non agenda items of any blended. 2025-06-17 17:22:48
This is not agenda item for anyone who may. 2025-06-17 17:22:51
Have anything? Yes, ma'am. 2025-06-17 17:22:54
Calendar day is terrific calendar day. 2025-06-17 17:23:00
All right. 2025-06-17 17:23:06
We didn't vote on anything. 2025-06-17 17:23:18
I just want to say that I. 2025-06-17 17:23:27
Hope that we can have a. 2025-06-17 17:23:30
Joint meeting and talk about all. 2025-06-17 17:23:33
Of the budget is. 2025-06-17 17:23:36
It is a huge. 2025-06-17 17:23:42
And lots of pieces to it this year. 2025-06-17 17:23:45
And this is only one of the many. 2025-06-17 17:23:48
That needs to be talked about and put together. 2025-06-17 17:23:51
So I'm looking forward to doing. 2025-06-17 17:23:54
Having those discussions and maybe. 2025-06-17 17:23:57
Decisions based on facts. 2025-06-17 17:24:00
Our financial situation. 2025-06-17 17:24:03
Thank you. 2025-06-17 17:24:06
Anyone else? 2025-06-17 17:24:09
Take a motion to adjourn. OK, alright. 2025-06-17 17:24:12
I have some paperwork. 2025-06-17 17:24:18
In the shoulder on, that's what. Really. 2025-06-17 18:54:41
Led to his study, we had to think how. 2025-06-17 18:54:44
A few years ago in the area and the project. 2025-06-17 18:54:47
Area. 2025-06-17 18:54:50
What we're talking about is reducing lane with just a little. 2025-06-17 18:54:53
I think most people wouldn't even notice it. 2025-06-17 18:54:59
You'd be surprised. I mean, I'd love to see. 2025-06-17 18:55:02
Any data that that says that? 2025-06-17 18:55:05
Things down without an increase in. 2025-06-17 18:55:08
Significant accidents and particularly. 2025-06-17 18:55:11
If that was if that was the case, then traffic. 2025-06-17 18:55:14
Pretty slow throughout the county. 2025-06-17 18:55:17
To say my trip's down John ****** Rd. was. 2025-06-17 18:55:20
Conflict this analysis. So how much does it cost? 2025-06-17 18:55:23
I don't know. 2025-06-17 18:55:26
To implement to put a sidewalk in. 2025-06-17 18:55:29
Is there like a mile or cost or? 2025-06-17 18:55:32
How much does it cost 'cause that's the bottom line that. 2025-06-17 18:55:35
Everything, it's totally understood and and. 2025-06-17 18:55:38
Very valid question we did put together. 2025-06-17 18:55:41
Order of magnitude cost associated with this project. 2025-06-17 18:55:44
We've got it itemized in the appendices. 2025-06-17 18:55:47
Of the final document that give us a base. 2025-06-17 18:55:50
Of the of the cost now I will mention. 2025-06-17 18:55:53
There are some ancillary improvements that are going to have. 2025-06-17 18:55:56
We made we know this retaining wall in several areas is going to. 2025-06-17 18:55:59
Drainage improvements. 2025-06-17 18:56:02
Which are going to have to be addressed and that's for the reason. 2025-06-17 18:56:05
Don't have the ability to put a 12 foot path. 2025-06-17 18:56:08
Here that everybody would love to use. 2025-06-17 18:56:11
Their bikes on but order of magnitude cost. 2025-06-17 18:56:14
Put this at about $4 million for the state. 2025-06-17 18:56:17
And then about another 2 million together. 2025-06-17 18:56:23
So we're in the six. 2025-06-17 18:56:26
To $7,000,000 range for this project. 2025-06-17 18:56:29
Not insignificant if you. 2025-06-17 18:56:32
Down on a cough per foot? No, but. 2025-06-17 18:56:35
Sidewalk. That's fine. We're talking anywhere from. 2025-06-17 18:56:38
70 to $100 a foot. 2025-06-17 18:56:41
I'm pretty sure they did not have that much in rainy. 2025-06-17 18:56:44
Yeah, I, I think. 2025-06-17 18:56:47
One thing to note on that is. 2025-06-17 18:56:50
We would not necessarily pursue. 2025-06-17 18:56:53
Implementing this and that. 2025-06-17 18:56:56
That way it may be our when people come. 2025-06-17 18:56:59
Redevelop a lot, we have them. 2025-06-17 18:57:02
The sidewalk in in accordance to this point. 2025-06-17 18:57:05
Yeah. So that would cost us nothing. So the. 2025-06-17 18:57:08
This is just 7 year old. 2025-06-17 18:57:11
In what it could cause I can think of. 2025-06-17 18:57:14
Probably 8 or 10 people there. 2025-06-17 18:57:17
I know they live on that road that will. 2025-06-17 18:57:20
Court could take their property even if it's 20. 2025-06-17 18:57:23
Feet of their front yard so. 2025-06-17 18:57:26
OK, well. 2025-06-17 18:57:29
Any other questions? 2025-06-17 18:57:32
I just extend the comment share with. 2025-06-17 18:57:35
Rhode Island may. 2025-06-17 18:57:38
Yeah, OK. 2025-06-17 18:57:53
Well, tonight we are dealing with the acceptance of the. 2025-06-17 18:57:56
Study. So that's all I'm looking forward to. Motion to accept. 2025-06-17 18:57:59
For Luke, second all in favor. 2025-06-17 18:58:02
All right. Thank you. It looks sharp. 2025-06-17 18:58:05

We'll start with 5A, the county building triple met lead. 2025-06-17 19:00:12
Yes, that's with the bill. 2025-06-17 19:00:15
Authority. The building authority. 2025-06-17 19:00:18
Is an entity that was set up. 2025-06-17 19:00:21
For bonding purposes for the. 2025-06-17 19:00:24
City County building back when it was built back in 19. 2025-06-17 19:00:27
1958 or so. 2025-06-17 19:00:30
The building authority also took on additional responsibilities. 2025-06-17 19:00:33
Management of the building. 2025-06-17 19:00:35
We have took a. 2025-06-17 19:00:39
We've been the county with regards to. 2025-06-17 19:00:42
Taking over those management services and. 2025-06-17 19:00:45
And the Commissioners have decided. 2025-06-17 19:00:48
That they would like to do that this trip. 2025-06-17 19:00:51
When that lease provides that. 2025-06-17 19:00:54
Very thing and. 2025-06-17 19:00:57
And so in fact, a couple of the employees that you just announced. 2025-06-17 19:01:00
That you hired were part of the bill. 2025-06-17 19:01:03
Authority so. 2025-06-17 19:01:06
This formalizes that process. 2025-06-17 19:01:09
Offender is the president of the building. 2025-06-17 19:01:12
It's my understanding that this will be in front. 2025-06-17 19:01:15
Of your 29. 2025-06-17 19:01:18
From tonight. 2025-06-17 19:01:21
Yeah, momentarily. 2025-06-17 19:01:24
Yeah, I wanna make you free completely. 2025-06-17 19:01:27
Hang on a SEC though, Yes I want to. 2025-06-17 19:01:30
Acknowledge Mr. Fender's work recently. 2025-06-17 19:01:33
In the past several years on this along with every other person. 2025-06-17 19:01:36
Before he sat there since its inception and. 2025-06-17 19:01:39
Not only were they. 2025-06-17 19:01:42
For financing, but they also are factually the owners of. 2025-06-17 19:01:45
Building and will continue to be the owners of the building we're. 2025-06-17 19:01:48
Taking over management because we believe. 2025-06-17 19:01:51
And efficiencies with regards to that that aren't available right now? 2025-06-17 19:01:54
And not that you guys. 2025-06-17 19:01:57
Inefficient job. It's just that we're trying to kind. 2025-06-17 19:02:00
Put everything under one umbrella and we're really happy to have. 2025-06-17 19:02:03
Manage your hair taken out of responsibility. 2025-06-17 19:02:06
Continuing with the. 2025-06-17 19:02:09
Former soon to be former City County. 2025-06-17 19:02:12
We would also all of the buildings in the county support. 2025-06-17 19:02:15
So and we appreciate your quality. 2025-06-17 19:02:18
Operation with this over the last several months. 2025-06-17 19:02:21
Happen. I'll make this free. 2025-06-17 19:02:24
About seven years ago. 2025-06-17 19:02:27
Commissioner called me up and said I want you to fix the building authority. 2025-06-17 19:02:30
And I had no idea what that meant. 2025-06-17 19:02:33
So I said yes and. 2025-06-17 19:02:36
Frank was sheriff and he came up to me and said. 2025-06-17 19:02:39
It's one of the best days of my life you were on. 2025-06-17 19:02:42
And I knew I was. 2025-06-17 19:02:44
How about work? 2025-06-17 19:02:45
Look it out for me. So the committee. 2025-06-17 19:02:48
None of which you will hear. 2025-06-17 19:02:51
Were commissioners had neglected? 2025-06-17 19:02:54
Operation until it came up to damn near $1,000,000. 2025-06-17 19:02:57
Lawsuit between the building authority and the commissioners. 2025-06-17 19:03:00
Really hard to believe. It's hard for me to believe. 2025-06-17 19:03:03
I said I will never be a party to. 2025-06-17 19:03:06
Wasting the taxpayers money like that. 2025-06-17 19:03:09
I've always endeavored to leave things better than. 2025-06-17 19:03:12
I found them. I got into that job and I. 2025-06-17 19:03:15
I said, well it's a pretty low bar. 2025-06-17 19:03:18
So I work from that point in time to. 2025-06-17 19:03:21
To get a hold of management. 2025-06-17 19:03:24
Report to the Commissioners and condition of the building. Make recommend. 2025-06-17 19:03:27
And and I. 2025-06-17 19:03:30
Particularly, they have to see that Commissioners are. 2025-06-17 19:03:33
The county properties into one under 1. 2025-06-17 19:03:36
Management and I want to come in. 2025-06-17 19:03:39
Doctor. 2025-06-17 19:03:42
Doctor Fox on. 2025-06-17 19:03:45
Working with us to the extent that they did. 2025-06-17 19:03:48
Get this agreement for the betterment of the people. 2025-06-17 19:03:51
Accounting. So God's being your endeavor. 2025-06-17 19:03:54
I'm sure you'll do fine. 2025-06-17 19:03:57
Truly hope all blessed in better shape than I found it. 2025-06-17 19:04:00
And I'll still be the president. 2025-06-17 19:04:03
Such as it is, so if there's other. 2025-06-17 19:04:06
Bonding or whatever comes up, we're at your. 2025-06-17 19:04:09
All right, and just so people know you're now going to be staying busy with. 2025-06-17 19:04:12
The Highlander fire. 2025-06-17 19:04:15
Well, no. 2025-06-17 19:04:17
It says bank on Spring Street. 2025-06-17 19:22:10
That's going on. That's what we have her for, Chase senior. 2025-06-17 19:22:13
And the Chase Junior building on Grant Line. 2025-06-17 19:22:16
Which is going to house the new Floyd County Department. 2025-06-17 19:22:19
Is going to be the Floyd County Department. 2025-06-17 19:22:22
Health Human Services and Inspection center because of the. 2025-06-17 19:22:25
We're gonna have some accounting services housed on. 2025-06-17 19:22:28
2nd floor there as well. 2025-06-17 19:22:31
Signage going up. We were inspired by the sheriff. 2025-06-17 19:22:34
Signage and thought we needed to. 2025-06-17 19:22:37
Get on board with that. It's been in work for a long time. 2025-06-17 19:22:40
So we appreciate patience on the. 2025-06-17 19:22:43
At the Pineview Government Center will continue. 2025-06-17 19:22:46
Find new government center as well. 2025-06-17 19:22:49
Long as it remains in the portfolio. 2025-06-17 19:22:52
Board and committee reports tonight. 2025-06-17 19:22:55
OK. Do you have any? 2025-06-17 19:22:58
Yeah, also. 2025-06-17 19:23:01
The opioid committee I'm a part of. 2025-06-17 19:23:04
We met and produced that list for the commissioners. 2025-06-17 19:23:07
Today and then also. 2025-06-17 19:23:10
I spent some time with. 2025-06-17 19:23:13
The Council. 2025-06-17 19:23:16
Presentations from Baker Chili regarding. 2025-06-17 19:23:19
The impact analysis that we're going to have. 2025-06-17 19:23:22
1 I believe that. 2025-06-17 19:23:25
The Council took some documents for the committee. 2025-06-17 19:23:28
Measures to be able to have those that couldn't be. 2025-06-17 19:23:31
But I highly encourage everybody to look at that. I will say that. 2025-06-17 19:23:34
Umm, even our physical advisors at Bakersfield. 2025-06-17 19:23:37
They will tell you that they don't believe that their projection. 2025-06-17 19:23:40
Will be. 2025-06-17 19:23:43
Much more. 2025-06-17 19:23:43
Until we get to that point, maybe sometime in the summer. 2025-06-17 19:23:46
July, even in August, which? 2025-06-17 19:23:49
Kind of runs concurrent with, you know, budget time, so. 2025-06-17 19:23:52
That's all I have. 2025-06-17 19:23:55
Uh. 2025-06-17 19:23:58
Now I'm spending a lot of time at their. 2025-06-17 19:24:01
Trying to take care of county business, so that's expensive. 2025-06-17 19:24:07
Yeah, it is for the. 2025-06-17 19:24:10
A few Staffs are calling. 2025-06-17 19:24:16
Floyd County Health Department building again so that. 2025-06-17 19:24:19
Squared away, right we are. 2025-06-17 19:24:22

Met with our building reps on the. 2025-06-17 19:24:28
Floyd County Government Center, formerly the Chase. 2025-06-17 19:24:31
And remodels continue on that we should. 2025-06-17 19:24:34
Do have RFPs out like this? 2025-06-17 19:24:37
Month of early July on, that sounds right. 2025-06-17 19:24:40
I think it's the advertising is all underway at this point in time. 2025-06-17 19:24:43
Also met with the architect regarding that. 2025-06-17 19:24:47

And these we LL. 2025-06-17 19:27:44
3 minutes as well. 2025-06-17 19:27:47
Sorry, my name is Rhonda Iglesias. 2025-06-17 19:27:50
And I'm proud to live in the city. 2025-06-17 19:27:53
I'm actually just outside. 2025-06-17 19:27:56
Limit right before you go out most. 2025-06-17 19:27:59
And there's a couple of things that I wanted. 2025-06-17 19:28:02
To ask one when you are now. 2025-06-17 19:28:05
I'm all about solutions, so when? 2025-06-17 19:28:08
Talk about the disposal, you know. 2025-06-17 19:28:11
Of ways for the recycling. 2025-06-17 19:28:14
If you need a volunteer to help you. 2025-06-17 19:28:17
Do some research or give public. 2025-06-17 19:28:20
Or comment or do whatever I'm all for. 2025-06-17 19:28:23
Because I have been recycling for like 25 years. 2025-06-17 19:28:26
And I want to make the world better for my grandkids. 2025-06-17 19:28:29
So that was my first comment, my second one. 2025-06-17 19:28:32
One is. I have tried very hard. 2025-06-17 19:28:35
Try to figure out how our Rd. 2025-06-17 19:28:38
Code is labeled as a private. 2025-06-17 19:28:41
There's like 7 people up there and actually some. 2025-06-17 19:28:44

Tax revenue is 150,000 Now this is all. 2025-06-17 10:13:26
Only based off of these 17 residents. 2025-06-17 10:13:29
Living for one year and I think we've had. 2025-06-17 10:13:32
At least five that had crossed. 2025-06-17 10:13:35
A1 year mark and I'll probably be out with. 2025-06-17 10:13:38
Beyond one year. So it's a little bit more than that expect. 2025-06-17 10:13:41
Kind of driving up the longer they live here, but for. 2025-06-17 10:13:44
For all 17 maneuvers, 1.5 million in their first. 2025-06-17 10:13:47
Here, but for every dollar that the community your community. 2025-06-17 10:13:50
Is actually invested $16.29. 2025-06-17 10:13:53
Have been generated year one alone so your Floyd County. 2025-06-17 10:13:56
It's higher than the actual average in Indiana, which is. 2025-06-17 10:13:59
Which is pretty cool and it just made me like hey. 2025-06-17 10:14:02
All the all the better, right? You're killing all the more. 2025-06-17 10:14:05
And so a couple. 2025-06-17 10:14:08
Things that, umm, I think are worth noting. 2025-06-17 10:14:11
The new households, new people. 2025-06-17 10:14:14
We were offered pending. That's changed a little bit too. 2025-06-17 10:14:17
Because we added a third committed mover. 2025-06-17 10:14:20
I think in between the time that I got this. 2025-06-17 10:14:23
Back to you. So you brought in 17 household. 2025-06-17 10:14:26
38 new people new. 2025-06-17 10:14:29
Individual. So that's adults and children. 2025-06-17 10:14:32
And right now you've got a pretty robust pipeline. 2025-06-17 10:14:35
We've got three committed movers, so that's. 2025-06-17 10:14:38
Admitted being very unaccepted status. 2025-06-17 10:14:41
You've got 9 offers. 2025-06-17 10:14:44
That are out there right like we've we've gone through. 2025-06-17 10:14:48
And we've checked from a from. 2025-06-17 10:14:50
Mover operations perspective we've got. 2025-06-17 10:14:53
Come through and we we checked out like their income their. 2025-06-17 10:14:57
Employment status, all that stuff and. 2025-06-17 10:15:00
We found them to be legit and so now it's just an. 2025-06-17 10:15:03
Matter of do they accept the offer so. 2025-06-17 10:15:06
Again, things are looking pretty good from a. 2025-06-17 10:15:09
Pipeline perspective. 2025-06-17 10:15:11
With you guys with 1.7 million from a. 2025-06-17 10:15:15
Minecraft reach for a press value of. 2025-06-17 10:15:18
1000 that's kind of what it's been obviously. And then. 2025-06-17 10:15:21
Ideally, lastly, we're kind of. 2025-06-17 10:15:24
Looking at if you. 2025-06-17 10:15:27
If you think about just the pipeline in general. 2025-06-17 10:15:30
We brought in people who are. 2025-06-17 10:15:33
We have people right now from 10. 2025-06-17 10:15:36
Different states an average household of 109,000. 2025-06-17 10:15:39
1500 with an annual. 2025-06-17 10:15:42
New annual economic impact of 850. 2025-06-17 10:15:45
So that's kind of where things sit. 2025-06-17 10:15:51
Today, the last contract. 2025-06-17 10:15:54
That we signed like from a. 2025-06-17 10:15:57
Actual contractual perspective. 2025-06-17 10:16:00
Expired on May the 31st 20. 2025-06-17 10:16:03
25 We haven't stopped. 2025-06-17 10:16:06
Working like we're still working, I know. 2025-06-17 10:16:09
Transition obviously with with Don and Nick and I know. 2025-06-17 10:16:13
You guys are probably, you know, there are things. 2025-06-17 10:16:15
I think need to be figured out kind of on your end as well. 2025-06-17 10:16:18
But I did want to just shuttle. 2025-06-17 10:16:22
A little bit of insight. 2025-06-17 10:16:25
Two things that I think are very important One. 2025-06-17 10:16:28
We are having conversations at the state level. 2025-06-17 10:16:30
Be cautiously optimistic they are. 2025-06-17 10:16:37
Are progressing. There's nothing is final. 2025-06-17 10:16:40
Yeah, but. 2025-06-17 10:16:43
I would I would say that I am. 2025-06-17 10:16:46
Really confident that one way or. 2025-06-17 10:16:49
Or another through some. 2025-06-17 10:16:52
Some some. 2025-06-17 10:16:55
Some methods, some fun that we will. 2025-06-17 10:16:58
We have a A1 to one mapping for. 2025-06-17 10:17:01
At the very least, assuming. 2025-06-17 10:17:04
What county wants to to continue the program? 2025-06-17 10:17:07
Where that money comes from, I think it's kind of up in the air. 2025-06-17 10:17:10
And we're having multiple conversations with multiple organizations. 2025-06-17 10:17:13
But I know the conversations that we're having. 2025-06-17 10:17:16
At the state level have gone really, really well. 2025-06-17 10:17:19
And I have like, I don't want to drink this. 2025-06-17 10:17:22
So we'll just kind of leave it at that. I'll I'll definitely. 2025-06-17 10:17:25
Bob and Nick in the loop. 2025-06-17 10:17:28
As I know more, I would hope. 2025-06-17 10:17:31
That I'll have some sort of an ad. 2025-06-17 10:17:34
Or an idea what that looks like? 2025-06-17 10:17:37
By the end of this month. 2025-06-17 10:17:40
Not the one having those conversations, but. 2025-06-17 10:17:44
You know I'm kept abreast because you're not. 2025-06-17 10:17:47
Community that I'm having these conversations with as well. 2025-06-17 10:17:50
So as soon as I know more of that. 2025-06-17 10:17:53
Again, I'm confident we'll have good news. 2025-06-17 10:17:56
From the way you guys decide this is. 2025-06-17 10:17:58
And this is something that you want to continue? 2025-06-17 10:18:02
You know, hopefully we'll. 2025-06-17 10:18:05
And part of that is, you know, that's that. 2025-06-17 10:18:08
That's part of the reason why we haven't stopped, you know. 2025-06-17 10:18:11
Working for you guys driving because at the end of the day. 2025-06-17 10:18:14
I know that you need to know all the facts and. 2025-06-17 10:18:17
In order to make you know the best decisions for the community going forward. 2025-06-17 10:18:20
The second thing that I think is worth bringing the light. 2025-06-17 10:18:23
Is that we have. 2025-06-17 10:18:26
For the last three years, Analy. 2025-06-17 10:18:29
This program and look. 2025-06-17 10:18:32
Other ways to enhance. 2025-06-17 10:18:35
And tailor it. And it's not necessarily. 2025-06-17 10:18:38
Just because one thing is, is is good. 2025-06-17 10:18:41
For one, community doesn't mean it's not necessary. 2025-06-17 10:18:44
Fairly good for another, but you know, we're, we're kind of 1. 2025-06-17 10:18:47
If we can help you. 2025-06-17 10:18:50
If we can help every community. 2025-06-17 10:18:53
Ultimately, all the goals that they're. 2025-06-17 10:18:56
From an economic development perspective, that's what we're looking for. 2025-06-17 10:18:59
Like we don't want to be like, hey, it's gotta be this or it's gotta. 2025-06-17 10:19:02
We can help you do XY and Z take. 2025-06-17 10:19:05
OK. Or she's all the above and so if we're in. 2025-06-17 10:19:08
During this year, one thing we've realized is that 47. 2025-06-17 10:19:11
10% of the applicants. 2025-06-17 10:19:14
That your community sees. 2025-06-17 10:19:17
Are not qualified for the position because they are not. 2025-06-17 10:19:21
I'm at work but. 2025-06-17 10:19:23
They are people that are out there looking. 2025-06-17 10:19:27
Looking for a better place to live? 2025-06-17 10:19:29
And maybe an appointed opportunity. So we started. 2025-06-17 10:19:33
Piloting workforce or if you. 2025-06-17 10:19:36
We call it like job, job seeker type. 2025-06-17 10:19:39
Which is so far. 2025-06-17 10:19:42
It's going really well. I don't know. 2025-06-17 10:19:45
I think you guys are probably, at least I know Bob and Don. 2025-06-17 10:19:48
We had initial conversations were familiar with. 2025-06-17 10:19:51
Got a choir down in in. 2025-06-17 10:19:53
Economic development group, that kind of the counties, that sort of. 2025-06-17 10:19:57
Around Crane Naval Base. 2025-06-17 10:20:00
Piloting a program with them. 2025-06-17 10:20:03
Right now, where essentially they're they're just working. 2025-06-17 10:20:06
With certain employers. 2025-06-17 10:20:09
To try to recruit for for jobs within that. 2025-06-17 10:20:12
Now on top of this. 2025-06-17 10:20:15
They still do it. The remote worker program and. 2025-06-17 10:20:18
So one of the things that that we. 2025-06-17 10:20:21
Have asked kind of the state force ultimately. 2025-06-17 10:20:24
You the fact that partner up is. 2025-06-17 10:20:27
Would we be able to use matching fund? 2025-06-17 10:20:30
To attract job seekers. 2025-06-17 10:20:33
And this can be, you know, medical. 2025-06-17 10:20:36
Back or nervous first responders? 2025-06-17 10:20:39
Teacher, Perry County. 2025-06-17 10:20:42
20 years doing a little bit of a pilot to try to. 2025-06-17 10:20:45
Police officers, right? So thinking. 2025-06-17 10:20:48
About all those things. 2025-06-17 10:20:51
As we're as we're working with communities right now. 2025-06-17 10:20:54
That we're setting up pilot programs with every community. 2025-06-17 10:20:57
Assembly saying like this is something that like. 2025-06-17 10:21:01
We can include at no extra cost for any of our. 2025-06-17 10:21:03
Our current community partner, SO. 2025-06-17 10:21:06
Remote work is. 2025-06-17 10:21:10
I think it's pretty kind of safe to say that it's. 2025-06-17 10:21:13
Here to say I don't know that it's the future. 2025-06-17 10:21:16
Probably more of a hybrid kind of role is like where. 2025-06-17 10:21:19
Ultimately ends up in the very long. 2025-06-17 10:21:22
But I can tell you remote worker is not going. 2025-06-17 10:21:25
Way we're we're still seeing thousands. 2025-06-17 10:21:28
Of applicants each week. 2025-06-17 10:21:31
And they are the lowest hanging fruit because they can't. 2025-06-17 10:21:34
Impact and go and move and then when they come. 2025-06-17 10:21:37
They bring a job with them, so that makes them just, you know. 2025-06-17 10:21:40
An incremental consumer center taxpayer, but on. 2025-06-17 10:21:43
On top of that, you know if we can help Floyd County out. 2025-06-17 10:21:46
You know, as we, as we move forward with anything. 2025-06-17 10:21:49
Income A job seeker workforce related to. 2025-06-17 10:21:52
Any questions? 2025-06-17 10:21:58
An answer for anyone. 2025-06-17 10:22:00
Oh, wait. 2025-06-17 10:22:01
When we met earlier last week, I think you were gonna prepare. 2025-06-17 10:22:04
Kind of what we've spent today. 2025-06-17 10:22:07
From Accounting executive, the money we got back. 2025-06-17 10:22:10
And what that program would look like? 2025-06-17 10:22:13
Yeah, I so. 2025-06-17 10:22:16
And do you get a chance to look at? 2025-06-17 10:22:19
Some of the the summer after the other part. 2025-06-17 10:22:22
It's in here to the last page, but I'm kind of. 2025-06-17 10:22:28
Right now, but he's got to go up here. 2025-06-17 10:22:31
To look at, I mean, it's quite probably pretty. 2025-06-17 10:22:35
Similar, but if you're saying $13. 2025-06-17 10:22:38
$0.87 is generated per dollar. How much of that? 2025-06-17 10:22:40
1387 actually comes back to Floyd County. 2025-06-17 10:22:44
Me and where is it going and going into our. 2025-06-17 10:22:47
General Fund and we've come back in the form of. 2025-06-17 10:22:50
Taxes. Like taxes? And is that all for you? 2025-06-17 10:22:53
What county is that? New Albany and Floyd County separated out. 2025-06-17 10:22:56
I mean, we're. 2025-06-17 10:22:59
Other than county funniness, Other than that. 2025-06-17 10:23:02
The state, but organizations in it but. 2025-06-17 10:23:05
City of New Albany is not funny man and. 2025-06-17 10:23:08
I know the commissioners aren't and the Council. 2025-06-17 10:23:11
Could be moving just to New Albany, right? Yeah. The city, yeah. 2025-06-17 10:23:14
So again, I'd like to. 2025-06-17 10:23:17
Kind of narrow that down into. 2025-06-17 10:23:20
What what people Floyd County are getting back on. 2025-06-17 10:23:23
On that into our revenue. 2025-06-17 10:23:26
Yeah. I mean it's it's. 2025-06-17 10:23:29
Sort of. 2025-06-17 10:23:31
It probably lists like 25 different. 2025-06-17 10:24:49
Digital meeting, I'm happy to do that as well. 2025-06-17 10:26:13
Yeah. 2025-06-17 10:26:16
Yep, OK. 2025-06-17 10:26:19
Let's get information. 2025-06-17 10:26:22
The other thing? 2025-06-17 10:26:25
2 So if we do this kind of last. 2025-06-17 10:26:28
You know, kind of keeping the back end. 2025-06-17 10:26:31
Yeah, everything essentially. 2025-06-17 10:26:34
You know from like what would everything. 2025-06-17 10:26:37
Moving forward, it just kind of depends on what what. 2025-06-17 10:26:40
What you're wanting to do, right, So if you're wanting to do. 2025-06-17 10:26:43
Hand over campaign. 2025-06-17 10:26:46
Yeah, it it would look similar if not it. 2025-06-17 10:26:49
Exactly to what it was like last. 2025-06-17 10:26:52
Here and then if we do get. 2025-06-17 10:26:55
One matching fund from an outside source. 2025-06-17 10:26:58
Like we have in the past for you guys. 2025-06-17 10:27:01
You know the one thing I would kind of remind you? 2025-06-17 10:27:04
You typically get. 2025-06-17 10:27:07
The way it worked in the past, you got kind of half the past. 2025-06-17 10:27:10
At the grant, we have that money up front. 2025-06-17 10:27:13
That typically took care of. 2025-06-17 10:27:16
The first two payments that were made. 2025-06-17 10:27:19
But ultimately with everything that you know you guys have going. 2025-06-17 10:27:22
Some of the other projects. 2025-06-17 10:27:25
We have kind of the flexibility to either. 2025-06-17 10:27:28
You know, make that sort of work. 2025-06-17 10:27:32
You know it's. 2025-06-17 10:27:34
Easier on you guys, at least in the in. 2025-06-17 10:27:38
In a short period, if that makes sense. 2025-06-17 10:27:40
And what was the number of movers to get? 2025-06-17 10:27:44
20 or nearly 20 so far. 2025-06-17 10:27:47
Have moved or how many have moved 715 out of? 2025-06-17 10:27:50
Yeah. So we've got three more that are in the. 2025-06-17 10:27:53
Acceptance status, which is good. 2025-06-17 10:27:56
They have about like some of them have up to about 6. 2025-06-17 10:27:59
Right. We try to bring it down like, are you moving like? 2025-06-17 10:28:02
Are you looking to move right now? Are you looking to move within three months? 2025-06-17 10:28:05
I'm sorry you're looking to move within the second month and. 2025-06-17 10:28:08
I know they don't get the full benefit if they're not here a certain. 2025-06-17 10:28:11
Last time, but do we know if anybody has? 2025-06-17 10:28:14
Came and went. We don't. 2025-06-17 10:28:17
But I, I, I'll definitely kind of. 2025-06-17 10:28:20
I mean, that's, that's a great question. I'll, I'll, I'll try to get click. 2025-06-17 10:28:23
I usually the moves I. 2025-06-17 10:28:26
Really hear about it for the fact that I haven't heard about it. 2025-06-17 10:28:29
It's kind of like the young news is good news, that added. 2025-06-17 10:28:32
Today on that one, but I'll I'll just get here. 2025-06-17 10:28:35
Just to be clear, I'll, I'll try to get that. Well, the other thing, Nick. 2025-06-17 10:28:38
Now we're talking to him about and and Don as well. Is when. 2025-06-17 10:28:41
So we have we also have three that. 2025-06-17 10:28:44
We also have 9. 2025-06-17 10:28:47
Qualified Vietnamese, they qualify. 2025-06-17 10:28:50
And they may accept, yeah, that's correct. So. 2025-06-17 10:28:53
The question becomes, well we only have flaw. 2025-06-17 10:28:56
At what point do you tell them? 2025-06-17 10:29:02
Yeah. I mean, we could. We can do that. 2025-06-17 10:29:08
Right. I mean, what is it? 2025-06-17 10:29:11
The procedure we haven't done that to say there is a. 2025-06-17 10:29:14
It's not. 2025-06-17 10:29:17
Yeah. 2025-06-17 10:29:23
Yeah. And our mover oper. 2025-06-17 10:29:26
Mover operations team can take care of that for you. 2025-06-17 10:29:29

Committed to the movement. 2025-06-17 10:29:44
Whatever that program is that. 2025-06-17 10:29:50
There is no money, said all the men. 2025-06-17 10:29:56
Yeah, have to be rebounded again. 2025-06-17 10:29:59
Yeah, yeah, we we've done for. 2025-06-17 10:30:03
Handful of communities before where we're kind of in a situation like. 2025-06-17 10:30:06
That is where, you know, it's like we have to figure out. 2025-06-17 10:30:09
I was like, hey, do we like the program? 2025-06-17 10:30:12
We want to continue the program and see what is the budget. 2025-06-17 10:30:15
Look like when there's that kind of Gray area. 2025-06-17 10:30:18
Like we'll have mover apps, we'll reach out to the street and accept. 2025-06-17 10:30:21
Method and we'll just say hey. 2025-06-17 10:30:24
I there are only three. 2025-06-17 10:30:27
Available for. 2025-06-17 10:30:30
This the second occurrence of funding. 2025-06-17 10:30:33
This program right and so if you if. 2025-06-17 10:30:36
If you want to take advantage of that. 2025-06-17 10:30:39
There's also 9 applicants that have been offered. 2025-06-17 10:30:42
They might want this spot, that's why I want to. 2025-06-17 10:30:45
That person that's sitting there making. 2025-06-17 10:30:48
Right, I got. 2025-06-17 10:30:51
And and we would, we would essentially let them know. 2025-06-17 10:30:57
So for everyone that's in late stage. 2025-06-17 10:31:00
It's a total of 12 like we would let them know. 2025-06-17 10:31:03
12 applicants that are interested. 2025-06-17 10:31:06
And there's only three spots left in this iteration. 2025-06-17 10:31:09
There may be an opportunity. 2025-06-17 10:31:12
You know the community. 2025-06-17 10:31:15
3rd generation and you would quote. 2025-06-17 10:31:18
Qualify for that, assuming that you're still interested but like. 2025-06-17 10:31:21
We're not going to hang them out the dryer. Like not commun. 2025-06-17 10:31:24
And then, like we'll do, we'll move. 2025-06-17 10:31:27
At the direction stop, quite frankly. 2025-06-17 10:31:30
You and Nick give me. Yeah, you know. 2025-06-17 10:31:33
As well. 2025-06-17 10:31:36
For sure, I have one more question. 2025-06-17 10:31:39
What type of employment do the 17 people move? 2025-06-17 10:31:42
What type of? 2025-06-17 10:31:45
All kinds I can send you. 2025-06-17 10:31:48
I tried pulling it up but for whatever reason. 2025-06-17 10:31:51
The mover sweep isn't quite. 2025-06-17 10:31:54
Acting friendly with my personal. 2025-06-17 10:31:57
Wi-Fi on my phone, so I mean. 2025-06-17 10:32:00
Typically the most common are gonna be, you know. 2025-06-17 10:32:03
Software engineers. 2025-06-17 10:32:06
Data cyber security type position. 2025-06-17 10:32:09
I know we've moved a couple of those those types. 2025-06-17 10:32:12
Got a wide range of because, uh, three of us. 2025-06-17 10:32:15
We've not approved everyone we've done, we've turned. 2025-06-17 10:32:25
Oh yeah, now somebody are gonna have a. 2025-06-17 10:32:28
None of them have been for government employment. 2025-06-17 10:32:34
That aspirin, OK. 2025-06-17 10:32:40
There was like. 2025-06-17 10:32:45
Personnel. 2025-06-17 10:32:55
But none of no, we've we've never hired. 2025-06-17 10:33:01
And anybody can do that, correct? 2025-06-17 10:33:04
Yes. No, I mean, I think there was one federal, yeah. 2025-06-17 10:33:07
Now there's a wide range. I mean, there's a lot. 2025-06-17 10:33:16
Couple things but. 2025-06-17 10:33:19
Lord Taylor. 2025-06-17 10:33:25
Background facts now that we had got. 2025-06-17 10:33:31
I think you're a minimum of 50,000. 2025-06-17 10:33:37
Population. 2025-06-17 10:33:49
$2500. 2025-06-17 10:34:07
Another $2500. 2025-06-17 10:34:10
Within five years, you have. 2025-06-17 10:34:13
Out of that that accept. 2025-06-17 10:34:19
Here five years back or you can use that. 2025-06-17 10:34:22
The the salary requirement that we hit. 2025-06-17 10:34:34
Our threshold. 2025-06-17 10:34:37
We're still seeing a lot of advocates, so I think that. 2025-06-17 10:34:43
I'm not saying. 2025-06-17 10:34:43
I mean, the pipeline is pipeline drug bug, yeah. 2025-06-17 10:34:49
The nice thing is, you know. 2025-06-17 10:34:52
People from all over the country. 2025-06-17 10:34:55
Probably didn't know that. 2025-06-17 10:34:58
A place like Coward County existed. 2025-06-17 10:35:01
And now they do, and they're moving here, which is. 2025-06-17 10:35:04
Pretty much OK. 2025-06-17 10:35:07
Any other questions from anybody? 2025-06-17 10:35:10

You know the type of jobs that these people. 2025-06-17 10:35:47

We know what their household makeup is. 2025-06-17 10:35:53
We know if they're looking to rent or if they're looking to buy. 2025-06-17 10:35:56
What type of angle? You know what? 2025-06-17 10:35:59
They're looking at the band, so it's really, really. 2025-06-17 10:36:02
Cool. We we collect all kinds of data and. 2025-06-17 10:36:05
You know, and then essentially just. 2025-06-17 10:36:08
Try to try to marry them with you guys if it. 2025-06-17 10:36:11
If it feels like a like a good match, so. 2025-06-17 10:36:14

In their journey in connecting those entrepreneurs with. 2025-06-17 10:38:25
Resources that will assist them with any rules. 2025-06-17 10:38:27
Block pick up quite often that resource. 2025-06-17 10:38:30

Out there in the community, meeting entrepreneurs where they're at and also working. 2025-06-17 10:38:40

Again, Co Working Spaces Economic Development Corporation. 2025-06-17 10:38:46
To develop programming. 2025-06-17 10:38:48
On the next slide or the next page there? 2025-06-17 10:38:52
This kind of shows what we are most well. 2025-06-17 10:38:55
Known for and that is our confidential. 2025-06-17 10:38:58
No cost advising services so. 2025-06-17 10:39:01
If a small business owner enrolled. 2025-06-17 10:39:03
For services, we will meet with them. How often? 2025-06-17 10:39:07
To me, for as long as they need to be. 2025-06-17 10:39:09
We will meet with Doctor. 2025-06-17 10:39:10
Our newers who are still in ideation stage, maybe they know. 2025-06-17 10:39:13
What industry they want to go into, but they don't know that. 2025-06-17 10:39:16
We go beyond that. We can pull all sorts. 2025-06-17 10:39:19
Of industry reporting in the graph. 2025-06-17 10:39:22
Traffic reporting, All kinds of real world. 2025-06-17 10:39:25
Real time information to help them home in on where. 2025-06-17 10:39:28
They want to build a business within that industry. 2025-06-17 10:39:31
We can definitely help them grow. 2025-06-17 10:39:34
9.4% of businesses throughout the state. 2025-06-17 10:39:37
For small businesses, which means we can work with 99.4. 2025-06-17 10:39:40
Percent of any businesses in the state of. 2025-06-17 10:39:43
Yeah, get more excited here. Oh. 2025-06-17 10:39:46
We also help with innovation, so maybe a company has been. 2025-06-17 10:39:49
Around for 10 years, but they need to identify new revenue. 2025-06-17 10:39:52
Where they need to secure a new piece of equipment to. 2025-06-17 10:39:55
And their operation, we can assist with that entire problem. 2025-06-17 10:39:58
From research to preparing for capital. 2025-06-17 10:40:01
Whether that's a commercial loan or even investment funding. 2025-06-17 10:40:04
Moving on to our Core Pro. 2025-06-17 10:40:07
Programs. These are the programs that a lot of people are not so familiar. 2025-06-17 10:40:10
So if a client does enroll with us against. 2025-06-17 10:40:13
For free. That opens them up to to be. 2025-06-17 10:40:16
Programs I'm about to touch on the Indiana. 2025-06-17 10:40:19
Program also called Impact. This is. 2025-06-17 10:40:22
Excellent program for small businesses. 2025-06-17 10:40:25
Where if they need to implement something. 2025-06-17 10:40:28
In their business to get to that next milestone, but they. 2025-06-17 10:40:31
We don't have the in-house expertise, the impact. 2025-06-17 10:40:34
Program will provide up to $15,000. 2025-06-17 10:40:37
To bring a professional into the business and help. 2025-06-17 10:40:40
Help them implement what they need to do. 2025-06-17 10:40:43
A simple example would be to add a. 2025-06-17 10:40:46
Consumer shopping cart onto a website, Something like that. 2025-06-17 10:40:49
But some of these projects get pretty unique. 2025-06-17 10:40:52
Dynamic, but that impact program. 2025-06-17 10:40:55
Is an annual program, so at the beginning of each year we. 2025-06-17 10:40:58
We do look at applications from clients and we have. 2025-06-17 10:41:01
Commit them based on the project that they are working on. 2025-06-17 10:41:04
Another program we. 2025-06-17 10:41:07
Exploit Indiana accelerator program. 2025-06-17 10:41:10
Is a business in Indiana 1/2. 2025-06-17 10:41:13
You know, maybe they're growing outside of Indiana. They're doing great on growing. 2025-06-17 10:41:16
Business throughout the US this program. 2025-06-17 10:41:19
Brand is a very intensive program. It's a 12. 2025-06-17 10:41:22
Program it does require about 5. 2025-06-17 10:41:25
Six hours per week on behalf of the business owner. 2025-06-17 10:41:28
But they walk away from this program with. 2025-06-17 10:41:31
A new, concise business plan that will. 2025-06-17 10:41:34
To step into international sales, they're gonna be. 2025-06-17 10:41:38
Able to meet with people with the State Department. 2025-06-17 10:41:40
The SBA you know this is not a passive program. 2025-06-17 10:41:44
Program. We are bringing people to the table for these folks to meet. 2025-06-17 10:41:47
A part of. 2025-06-17 10:41:50
That EIAT program is the Indiana State trade. 2025-06-17 10:41:53
And export promotion program. That is a mouthful. 2025-06-17 10:41:56
But again, if a company is looking. 2025-06-17 10:41:59
To begin exporting. Maybe they're not now, but they're. 2025-06-17 10:42:02
Looking through in the future, this program is a real. 2025-06-17 10:42:05
Program where if I'm just gonna come up with. 2025-06-17 10:42:08
With an easy example. 2025-06-17 10:42:11
A client of ours is making a potato chip. 2025-06-17 10:42:14
And they wanted to attend a. 2025-06-17 10:42:17
Trade show in Saint Louis we just had a sweet snack that we. 2025-06-17 10:42:20
Indianapolis a couple of weeks ago. That's international. 2025-06-17 10:42:23
Trade show because it brings people to Canada, Mexico and the country. 2025-06-17 10:42:26
That client, if they send you know 5. 2025-06-17 10:42:29
$5000 to build a booth and and. 2025-06-17 10:42:32
You know, give our product at that trade show they can. 2025-06-17 10:42:35
And be reimbursed for up to 80% of that call. 2025-06-17 10:42:38
Exactly, client recently did get full reimbursement. 2025-06-17 10:42:41
For a trade show. 2025-06-17 10:42:43
Uh, B. 2025-06-17 10:42:44
Beyond Instep, we do have an Agri business initiative in. 2025-06-17 10:42:47
A manufacturing initiative. What these programs? 2025-06-17 10:42:50
Are really. 2025-06-17 10:42:53
Advisor focused throughout the state of Indiana through all 10. 2025-06-17 10:42:56
Of our region, we have a lot of counselors and develop. 2025-06-17 10:42:59
Providers to our specialists and manufacturers and agriculture. 2025-06-17 10:43:02
Those individuals are trained. 2025-06-17 10:43:05
Cultural initiative advisors. 2025-06-17 10:43:08
Trained through the FDA, they are certified to work with agricultural. 2025-06-17 10:43:11
Clients, they can bring the USDA to the. 2025-06-17 10:43:14
With these clients and more manufacturing. 2025-06-17 10:43:17
Initiative. We do have a few. 2025-06-17 10:43:20
Strategic advisors that can help with anything on the. 2025-06-17 10:43:23
Manufacturing front from developing SOP. 2025-06-17 10:43:26
To identifying equipment unanimously, we've got the. 2025-06-17 10:43:29
Before I move on to. 2025-06-17 10:43:32
Metrics. Does anybody have any questions on program? 2025-06-17 10:43:35
What constitutes? 2025-06-17 10:43:38
Small businesses employees, Amount of employees. 2025-06-17 10:43:41
Depends on the industry. That's a really good question. So the FDA. 2025-06-17 10:43:44
For some industries, it's like employee count. 2025-06-17 10:43:47
And some industries are by annual revenue. 2025-06-17 10:43:50
Some of the revenues, one that's popping at the top of my head. 2025-06-17 10:43:53
Like transportation, I think that's like 4.5 million. 2025-06-17 10:43:56
Or north and annual revenue would bump them up in. 2025-06-17 10:43:59
But we've also got manufacture. 2025-06-17 10:44:02
Clients that have 450 employees. 2025-06-17 10:44:05
That are still classified because the FDA has an important. 2025-06-17 10:44:08
We count figure for manufacturing, so we. 2025-06-17 10:44:11
But that's a great question if you ever want details. 2025-06-17 10:44:14
I mean it's a very long list, but I can send. 2025-06-17 10:44:17
You do need your core programs, people. 2025-06-17 10:44:20
With recruitment and retention. So we did. 2025-06-17 10:44:23
Have a program that was born out of the COVID. 2025-06-17 10:44:26
Pandemic that has some sense that we do not. 2025-06-17 10:44:29
Have a natural program in house, but we do have. 2025-06-17 10:44:32
Third party partners that we can connect clients. 2025-06-17 10:44:35
We do Southern. 2025-06-17 10:44:38
Indiana works. We work very closely with them around here. We have. 2025-06-17 10:44:41
Other partners throughout our region, but in. 2025-06-17 10:44:44
Health, we don't need more of that program Sunset, but we can't assist. 2025-06-17 10:44:48
Make my move one of your. 2025-06-17 10:44:50
Not adorably. 2025-06-17 10:44:53
We could definitely work with. 2025-06-17 10:44:57
We have had, you know, now that I think about it. 2025-06-17 10:44:59
A client for two. 2025-06-17 10:45:03
I can look to our database but has come through. 2025-06-17 10:45:06
The Makemytrip program. Not frequently, no. Not free time. 2025-06-17 10:45:09
That's fine. OK. Yeah. Good question though. 2025-06-17 10:45:12
Move the house. 2025-06-17 10:45:15
Metric. If you look at our 2024 metric. 2025-06-17 10:45:18
Here we we did a great job across the region. 2025-06-17 10:45:21
We actually exceeded our goals and these goals are set. 2025-06-17 10:45:24
And on a manual basis about both the SBA. 2025-06-17 10:45:27
Indiana Economic Development Corporation. 2025-06-17 10:45:30
Or region specific, but if you. 2025-06-17 10:45:33
2024 client. 2025-06-17 10:45:36
We had 646 that was 124% of gold. 2025-06-17 10:45:39
Capital transaction and that is? 2025-06-17 10:45:42
Commercial capital or equity capital coming into a. 2025-06-17 10:45:45
Company based on direct dialogue with the FBI. 2025-06-17 10:45:48
The advisor, those capital transactions. 2025-06-17 10:45:51
78 for the 2024 year. 2025-06-17 10:45:54
Jobs supported were 2045. 2025-06-17 10:45:57
This is an interesting metric because we classify jobs. 2025-06-17 10:46:00
Supported as a job phase or added. 2025-06-17 10:46:03
To the organization due to direct. 2025-06-17 10:46:06
We gauge all this. 2025-06-17 10:46:09
We do have clients fill out form to get the rest. 2025-06-17 10:46:12
But we are sharing very detailed and. 2025-06-17 10:46:15
And then our long term. 2025-06-17 10:46:18
147 long term clients are. 2025-06-17 10:46:21
Any client that meets with an advisor 5 or more times. 2025-06-17 10:46:24
Sometimes we get a client to meet with us twice. 2025-06-17 10:46:27
Here sometimes we meet with clients every two weeks. 2025-06-17 10:46:30
Every month it just depends on who they are and what industry they're. 2025-06-17 10:46:33
Going on. 2025-06-17 10:46:36
To the next little spreadsheet. 2025-06-17 10:46:39
In your handout here, this is a breakdown of. 2025-06-17 10:46:42
2024 This shows county by county. 2025-06-17 10:46:45
Only the client. The number of clients we serve. 2025-06-17 10:46:48
Capital infusion, which is either a commercial loan or equity capital. 2025-06-17 10:46:51
If you went to Floyd County, that is. 2025-06-17 10:46:54
An enormous piece of our service. 2025-06-17 10:46:57
Services within the 14 county region. 2025-06-17 10:47:00
Boyd County makes up 23% of all of our. 2025-06-17 10:47:03
Science servers again Ethic across 14,000. 2025-06-17 10:47:06
Moving on. 2025-06-17 10:47:09
On to 2025 metric. Uh, we are. 2025-06-17 10:47:12
Way ahead of schedule. This year we have had a lot of new clients. 2025-06-17 10:47:15
Reach out to us that we are now assisting. 2025-06-17 10:47:18

Dollar amount this year so far is about 4.4. 2025-06-17 10:47:39

Defeat for $9 million by capital infusion. 2025-06-17 10:47:45
Does anybody have questions? 2025-06-17 10:47:48
Anything I need to explain first? 2025-06-17 10:47:54
Thank you. 2025-06-17 10:47:57
To wrap it up, I just want to make sure that you know. 2025-06-17 10:48:00
Floyd County, you all are familiar with how we are funded. 2025-06-17 10:48:03
We are funded primarily through. 2025-06-17 10:48:07
The FDA at the federal level, the IEBC at the. 2025-06-17 10:48:10
State level and then our host organization has to put this. 2025-06-17 10:48:13
But our host organization for this region is Purdue. 2025-06-17 10:48:16
University. All 10 regions have a. 2025-06-17 10:48:19
Organization, for instance. 2025-06-17 10:48:22
Central is Butler East Central is. 2025-06-17 10:48:25
Purdue, our host organizations. UH first. 2025-06-17 10:48:28

You also contribute funding to keep the doors open and the. 2025-06-17 10:48:40
The program continuing. 2025-06-17 10:48:42
For the federal grant, we are. 2025-06-17 10:48:46
Required to secure A1 to one match. 2025-06-17 10:48:49
From community partners for our 2020. 2025-06-17 10:48:52
Five buddies. This map equates to 1. 2025-06-17 10:48:55
24 I'm sorry 12447. 2025-06-17 10:48:58
77 And of course. 2025-06-17 10:49:01
Already computed 109,890. 2025-06-17 10:49:04
So for this year, we do still have a. 2025-06-17 10:49:07
Budget gap on our cash back dollars and. 2025-06-17 10:49:10
That gap of $14,587. 2025-06-17 10:49:13
I would like to. 2025-06-17 10:49:16
For you all to please consider supporting us. 2025-06-17 10:49:19
Not that we even have to have an answer today, but. 2025-06-17 10:49:22
Any help you could extend? 2025-06-17 10:49:25
On the front of Catch, magic is going to go directly into. 2025-06-17 10:49:28
Programming, we don't do any marketing all of. 2025-06-17 10:49:31
Our clients come through word of mouth and partnership with organiz. 2025-06-17 10:49:34
Throughout the region. So if you. 2025-06-17 10:49:37
Choose to support SBDC, know that. 2025-06-17 10:49:40
Every penny we receive goes directly to assistance. 2025-06-17 10:49:43
How many of the other 13 counties are already pre? 2025-06-17 10:49:49
In the cache match for quite a bit, even the rule account. 2025-06-17 10:49:55
We we usually see. 2025-06-17 10:49:58
Anywhere from $5000 contribution up to. 2025-06-17 10:50:01
15,000 contribution, the more rural. 2025-06-17 10:50:04
Areas that will be closer to the five. 2025-06-17 10:50:07
We even take a smaller amount of dollars. 2025-06-17 10:50:10
From the very rural county. 2025-06-17 10:50:13
What those counties will do is often offer in kind. 2025-06-17 10:50:16
Like office space for us to meet with our clients maybe? 2025-06-17 10:50:19
Within that county. 2025-06-17 10:50:25
Employees participated before the cash match. I don't remember. 2025-06-17 10:50:28
Quite a while I could, I could not find anything. 2025-06-17 10:50:34
I could not find anything through my account. 2025-06-17 10:50:37
And ask for I believe it was. 2025-06-17 10:50:40
OK Oh and just didn't know if anyone hit the game. 2025-06-17 10:50:43
Regional director was based out of Columbus, IN. 2025-06-17 10:50:49
And, you know, he was very focused on Columbus, the county around. 2025-06-17 10:50:52
There he has now been promoted to state director of. 2025-06-17 10:50:56
But you know, this year. 2025-06-17 10:50:59
Our goal really is to to dig into. 2025-06-17 10:51:02
Community getting to know each other, learning about. 2025-06-17 10:51:05
Each other's services, making sure we're not duplicating things. 2025-06-17 10:51:08
But to get back to your question, I can. 2025-06-17 10:51:11
Do not think we've ever made the active. Haven't been. 2025-06-17 10:51:14
Yeah. So that cash match would. 2025-06-17 10:51:20
Coming from other communities through throughout the region, I think. 2025-06-17 10:51:23
Do you know if Clark Dearborn Harrison Ripley has? 2025-06-17 10:51:29
Anticipated yet? Ripley has for sure do. 2025-06-17 10:51:32

Sometimes the sooner is always. 2025-06-17 10:51:53
Sugar, but uh, I would say. 2025-06-17 10:51:56
Definitely by the end of the month of July. 2025-06-17 10:51:59

Yeah. 2025-06-17 10:52:17
Yeah, yeah. We'll, we'll, you know, we develop. 2025-06-17 10:52:20
Deep partnerships with cities. 2025-06-17 10:52:23

That I see there is some. 2025-06-17 10:52:29
News about. 2025-06-17 10:52:32
Your office and IU SE right now. 2025-06-17 10:52:35
Is that where you're located now? It is, yeah. 2025-06-17 10:52:38
And that is a partnership that we've been growing. 2025-06-17 10:52:41
There's been a little confusion, Purdue. 2025-06-17 10:52:44
Host organizations, but we just developed a. 2025-06-17 10:52:47
Really great relationship with IUS. 2025-06-17 10:52:50
We've built a lot of programs together. 2025-06-17 10:52:53
This competition we will design lab and. 2025-06-17 10:52:56
Park quite a bit so you know, the past couple weeks. 2025-06-17 10:52:59
Years have been very exciting because due to the new IED. 2025-06-17 10:53:02
We are dieting. 2025-06-17 10:53:05
Deeper than ever before in our community. 2025-06-17 10:53:08
Developing programming, assisting with programming so. 2025-06-17 10:53:11
You know, we're reaching way far beyond this immediate. 2025-06-17 10:53:14
Being with clients in the office and digging into their business plan. 2025-06-17 10:53:17
And and planning we're getting out there in the community and building doing. 2025-06-17 10:53:20
Where are you on campus? We are in. 2025-06-17 10:53:23
Those apples at the School of Business, not on the ground. 2025-06-17 10:53:26

Good program to have and. 2025-06-17 10:55:03
Program at IUS I think. 2025-06-17 10:55:06

Happy to answer any questions. 2025-06-17 10:56:00

The catering for 50 so we're. 2025-06-17 10:56:06
13 more meals and so that may. 2025-06-17 10:56:09

I think I'm the guy. I mean, I've got. 2025-06-17 10:56:30
In that line, OK. 2025-06-17 10:56:33
I won't be able to make it. I'm going to India. 2025-06-17 10:56:36
I mean, I totally have to be bored. I mean. 2025-06-17 10:56:42
And anyone? 2025-06-17 10:56:51
I think maybe get him to sign it, but we've got a good. 2025-06-17 10:57:04
We've got a good group. Mike is actually being one of the presenters as well. 2025-06-17 10:57:07
We've got a very diverse group in terms of that. 2025-06-17 10:57:13
One of the items we also he mentioned. 2025-06-17 10:57:16
And I'll depend on this Donald writing. 2025-06-17 10:57:19
Is the next big pitch winner. 2025-06-17 10:57:22
He's got, I think Mike's gonna try to get him and. 2025-06-17 10:57:25
In the neck, he's gonna be there. 2025-06-17 10:57:31
Entrepreneur. He does a. 2025-06-17 10:57:34
Alright, so and and my understanding. 2025-06-17 10:57:40
Mike may be able to if you want to know more about it. I think he's done. 2025-06-17 10:57:43
Traction. 2025-06-17 10:57:49
On that so but if you have. 2025-06-17 10:57:52
Any other questions feel free to. 2025-06-17 10:57:55
I'm glad you did try to get him out to the. 2025-06-17 10:58:01
Apart, but you could still be in the. 2025-06-17 10:58:04
AUS is space how Chancellor Ford has got every. 2025-06-17 10:58:07
But they're dedicated. But, well, I don't. 2025-06-17 10:58:10
No, he has. Oh my God, we did a hard hat tour. 2025-06-17 10:58:13
All fewer people may never get. 2025-06-17 10:58:19
It's all framed up now. 2025-06-17 10:58:22
Yeah, it's coming. It starts to be. 2025-06-17 10:58:25
Yeah, yeah. 2025-06-17 10:58:28
Yeah. 2025-06-17 10:58:34
OK. 2025-06-17 10:58:37
Donald Hill, Nick, I think you're going to give us an update. 2025-06-17 10:58:40
And I've got. 2025-06-17 10:58:43
Development plan. 2025-06-17 10:58:46
Yeah. 2025-06-17 10:58:58
Yeah, where we're at with it and what next? 2025-06-17 10:59:01
Yeah. So just to give you guys a little bit of background as well, so. 2025-06-17 10:59:07
Just doing this overall now for it. 2025-06-17 10:59:13
Yeah, that. 2025-06-17 10:59:28
Yeah, I I think that's the the easiest way to kind of give us. 2025-06-17 10:59:31
Through the pathways and if we can, yeah, because. 2025-06-17 10:59:34
We've been behind the scenes meeting off and on. 2025-06-17 10:59:37
Development. 2025-06-17 10:59:40
Giving them data. 2025-06-17 10:59:43
For coffee, in the water and. 2025-06-17 10:59:47
So anyway with that. 2025-06-17 11:00:01
Yeah. Again, we we did a preliminary analysis. 2025-06-17 11:00:05
Just from a revenue perspective and what we. 2025-06-17 11:00:08
Based on the site plan, we met with the development partners. 2025-06-17 11:00:11
And talk through that a little bit and begin. 2025-06-17 11:00:14
Try to put some of the pieces. 2025-06-17 11:00:16
Together, I think where we are. 2025-06-17 11:00:17
Now log into whatever it is. 2025-06-17 11:00:20
Is a discussion on updates on budget? 2025-06-17 11:00:23
Utility side of things as well. 2025-06-17 11:00:29
Access infrastructure. 2025-06-17 11:00:32
More round of those and then. 2025-06-17 11:00:38
Defining roles and responsibilities overall. 2025-06-17 11:00:41
What that could look like as we. 2025-06-17 11:00:44
Who covers what? The responsibility of that? 2025-06-17 11:00:50
Being able to have the coverage and how you deliver that again. 2025-06-17 11:00:53
The next step after we. 2025-06-17 11:00:56
Preliminary analysis, assuming we could. 2025-06-17 11:00:59
Arrive at a you know it's. 2025-06-17 11:01:01
A general. 2025-06-17 11:01:02
Framework of what development terms will look like. 2025-06-17 11:01:05
Obviously, we want to bring in your. 2025-06-17 11:01:08
Financial Council legal counsel immediately. 2025-06-17 11:01:11
That's not what we do. We can do kind of everything. 2025-06-17 11:01:17
So. 2025-06-17 11:01:20
In meeting with. 2025-06-17 11:01:23
Overtime. 2025-06-17 11:03:54
64 down to Old Georgetown OR. 2025-06-17 11:06:24
Going on down, I believe it was. 2025-06-17 11:06:26
Width of that or well. 2025-06-17 11:06:33
And I I printed off this guy. 2025-06-17 11:06:36
Excellent Strand. Yeah, I think it's. 2025-06-17 11:06:39
Yeah, return Lane. 2025-06-17 11:06:48
And it would not extend the last couple of days. 2025-06-17 11:06:54
Yeah, that's that's what it was. 2025-06-17 11:07:00
Give us the signal and then widen it. 2025-06-17 11:07:03
OK, so. 2025-06-17 11:07:06
Comma hill would not be other than the. 2025-06-17 11:07:09
Would not be any. 2025-06-17 11:07:11
Further improvements on Hill. 2025-06-17 11:07:12
That's what I'm aware of. I mean, that was the. 2025-06-17 11:07:15
And what was there ever an estimated cost that was? 2025-06-17 11:07:18
Batted around it. 2025-06-17 11:07:21
Why and? 2025-06-17 11:07:24
To the development sometimes. 2025-06-17 11:07:36
I am not. 2025-06-17 11:07:39
Uh, first. 2025-06-17 11:07:42
Yeah. 2025-06-17 11:07:45
So go to that main road that's coming. 2025-06-17 11:07:48
OK. 2025-06-17 11:07:51
Review the road improvement before a light is installed there. 2025-06-17 11:08:27
Could you do the road improvements? 2025-06-17 11:08:30
Prior to the light. 2025-06-17 11:08:33
And why it tells him? 2025-06-17 11:08:42
Right. Yeah. And it's it's this. 2025-06-17 11:08:51
But they do they own lot A now, but yes. 2025-06-17 11:08:57
OK. 2025-06-17 11:09:01
OK. Yeah. So that that's no longer. 2025-06-17 11:09:04
Longer, you know if they would. 2025-06-17 11:09:07
As so far. 2025-06-17 11:09:09
OK. Yeah, I'm just curious. 2025-06-17 11:09:19
Other areas where they've allowed you to put all. 2025-06-17 11:09:25
Yeah. 2025-06-17 11:09:34
And your water and sewer coming in parallel with old George. 2025-06-17 11:09:37
Yeah, OK. Yeah. Would we? Would we? 2025-06-17 11:09:40
Eventually we the counties eventually be able to. 2025-06-17 11:09:43
Tap into TIF on that. 2025-06-17 11:09:46
Hefty from inception on that like you know what this. 2025-06-17 11:09:49
Is up and running in five years. 2025-06-17 11:09:52
Be able to recoup some of that or would it be? 2025-06-17 11:09:55
Totally based on what's the next? 2025-06-17 11:09:58
Depending how structured. 2025-06-17 11:10:01
Absolutely. That's where we. 2025-06-17 11:10:04
Kind of have a little they were going back and getting details. 2025-06-17 11:10:07
The infrastructure. 2025-06-17 11:10:10
To see whether or not it needed to be. 2025-06-17 11:10:13
All of it, or some of it. Or if we could still craft it. 2025-06-17 11:10:16
I think that's easier for. 2025-06-17 11:10:19
Constituents, obviously, if we. 2025-06-17 11:10:22
Be recouping some of that from the development, I totally understand. 2025-06-17 11:10:25
Yeah. And and and there otherwise it's performance based. 2025-06-17 11:10:28
Even if we do a reimbursement back to it or? 2025-06-17 11:10:31
Merchant agreement that goes for a period of time and depends on taxes. 2025-06-17 11:10:37
Come in. We funnel that back until we get that. 2025-06-17 11:10:40
Number, it's still going to be largely performance based. 2025-06-17 11:10:43
On their end to be able to hit that. 2025-06-17 11:10:46
I think we have some built in like that that. 2025-06-17 11:10:49
A lot more powerful. 2025-06-17 11:10:52
Yeah, yeah, I think. 2025-06-17 11:10:52
We realized we couldn't do it, Yeah. 2025-06-17 11:10:55
Because I think that's why you need this more detail from them. 2025-06-17 11:10:58
Yeah, figure out. All right, what's that generator going? 2025-06-17 11:11:01
Right, because based on their site plan. 2025-06-17 11:11:04
Put together. 2025-06-17 11:11:07
Bathing schedule that you know conceptual. 2025-06-17 11:11:10
Right. 2025-06-17 11:11:13
It doesn't have enough P. 2025-06-17 11:11:16
Cover everything and pay for everything. 2025-06-17 11:11:19
Right. We could. We could do the light, we couldn't do the infrast. 2025-06-17 11:11:22
Together basically called or based on the cost. 2025-06-17 11:11:25
That we're considering at the time business limitations. 2025-06-17 11:11:28
So when the kiss captured the tax rate? 2025-06-17 11:11:31
And and what what the generation? 2025-06-17 11:11:34
Be based on based on a conceptual pipeline, so. 2025-06-17 11:11:37
That was our kind of response. 2025-06-17 11:11:40
Back and this is hey, we've run the numbers on this. 2025-06-17 11:11:43
Something's got to give somewhere. 2025-06-17 11:11:46
And you know how what would happen? 2025-06-17 11:11:49
The developer has, so then we presented that to the. 2025-06-17 11:11:52
They took it under their own advisement. 2025-06-17 11:11:56
And have since come back. 2025-06-17 11:11:58
It can be taken care of this and we'll take care of that with all. 2025-06-17 11:12:02
Our property taxes and that. 2025-06-17 11:12:05
Put that on paper. 2025-06-17 11:12:08
Yeah, it's easy to prime the pump. 2025-06-17 11:12:11
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I understand. 2025-06-17 11:12:14
So I think at this point just just an update. 2025-06-17 11:12:17
I know we've been giving them. 2025-06-17 11:12:23
Personally. 2025-06-17 11:12:26
A lot more than. 2025-06-17 11:12:29
Been going up for many years so I like to be fun. 2025-06-17 11:12:32
Yeah, yeah. 2025-06-17 11:12:35
I think that's part of it too, that there's a as of any. 2025-06-17 11:12:38
Development in their year. 2025-06-17 11:12:41
That consistent flow of information that. 2025-06-17 11:12:50
Maybe telling one person? 2025-06-17 11:12:53
Kind of boomerang background, so I figured. 2025-06-17 11:12:56
Bubble pieces are all kind of floating out there somewhere, but we need a free. 2025-06-17 11:12:59
And I I didn't want to say that. 2025-06-17 11:13:02
We're in the better position because I don't want to frame it that way. 2025-06-17 11:13:05
They've already started purchasing property. 2025-06-17 11:13:08
So there's going to be some development there. 2025-06-17 11:13:11
At some point, so yeah. 2025-06-17 11:13:14
Hope that when you purchase property for a certain amount, they've already made in debt. 2025-06-17 11:13:17
Alright, Yeah, yeah, they're gonna need, they're gonna. 2025-06-17 11:13:20
Need a retirement sooner rather than later? 2025-06-17 11:13:23
How we get all these things, it's a furthering of vision. 2025-06-17 11:13:26
Furthering what the Commission and the repo is. 2025-06-17 11:13:29
If that exists out there and how do we come together and. 2025-06-17 11:13:32
However, something that gives them appropriate return. 2025-06-17 11:13:35
For the risk but also gives you the outcomes that. 2025-06-17 11:13:38
I talked a little bit more about the county role in this. 2025-06-17 11:13:41
This board role would be to help you. 2025-06-17 11:13:44
Go to the property. That's true, that'd be part of. 2025-06-17 11:13:47
And then ultimately if there were. 2025-06-17 11:13:50
So we need sort of financing that would come. 2025-06-17 11:13:53
Out of this, obviously that would go on to the County Council. 2025-06-17 11:13:56
Probably depending on. 2025-06-17 11:14:02
Thanks for the update, Sherman. All right. 2025-06-17 11:14:14
Back to Dover Park. 2025-06-17 11:14:17
Carol. 2025-06-17 11:14:17
We have actually taken a couple. 2025-06-17 11:14:26
You want to go to the. 2025-06-17 11:14:29
He has 10 minutes left. 2025-06-17 11:14:32
We have two things that we should try. 2025-06-17 11:14:35
The mowing. 2025-06-17 11:14:38
Resolution to be added. 2025-06-17 11:14:44
Notice that there was no. 2025-06-17 11:14:53
Right. 2025-06-17 11:14:56
Relevant tax district. 2025-06-17 11:14:59
So this would be resolution #2025. 2025-06-17 11:15:05
03. 2025-06-17 11:15:15
Payback back to. 2025-06-17 11:15:27
And that's an annual resolution. 2025-06-17 11:15:33
Annual report We've already sent out the. 2025-06-17 11:15:35
Those entities. 2025-06-17 11:15:39
OK. 2025-06-17 11:15:41
And that includes. 2025-06-17 11:15:45
County Council itself. 2025-06-17 11:15:51
The taxing district. 2025-06-17 11:15:54
Library Fire District. 2025-06-17 11:15:57
Oh, I'm waiting. 2025-06-17 11:16:00
In fire district. 2025-06-17 11:16:06
Solid waste. 2025-06-17 11:16:09
And the mud. 2025-06-17 11:16:12
Conservation District. There you go. 2025-06-17 11:16:15
Make motion to approve Motion by Al. 2025-06-17 11:16:18
I'll second. 2025-06-17 11:16:21
Make a eye. 2025-06-17 11:16:24
And then we have the mowing quote. 2025-06-17 11:16:30
Outside entities through the rowing and. 2025-06-17 11:16:39
Quote. 2025-06-17 11:16:42
Lambs, Crock Cutters and Riley's. 2025-06-17 11:16:45
I am for 750. 2025-06-17 11:16:51
They did include. 2025-06-17 11:17:00
They can't log as well that. 2025-06-17 11:17:03
We we will not include in in the. 2025-06-17 11:17:06
Agreement. 2025-06-17 11:17:09
We have identified funding as soon. 2025-06-17 11:17:12
Yeah. 2025-06-17 11:17:18
Yeah, then I guess it's just. 2025-06-17 11:17:21
Well, is it? Is it completed the red wire? 2025-06-17 11:17:27
OK. OK. Yeah, so. 2025-06-17 11:17:33
So it's red wire, it says. 2025-06-17 11:17:42
New development building in Lake. 2025-06-17 11:17:45
So outside of those. 2025-06-17 11:17:48
In the islands as well. 2025-06-17 11:18:06
Except not the big field. 2025-06-17 11:18:12
But it's not weekly, right? Right where I'm going. 2025-06-17 11:18:19
And yet, weekly peak is just. 2025-06-17 11:18:22
I'm just trying to figure out. 2025-06-17 11:18:27
And no and red wire. 2025-06-17 11:18:37
OK, that's no better there. It's like a. 2025-06-17 11:18:46
I'll just read it. Cut and trim finish, mow areas around. 2025-06-17 11:18:49
Buildings New develop building and lake along roadways. 2025-06-17 11:18:52
Innovation Parkway and areas along Indiana 60. 2025-06-17 11:18:55
Four between the overpass and water treatment facility on a weekly basis. 2025-06-17 11:18:58
Right. And then anytime we want the larger. 2025-06-17 11:19:01
They've they've included five mowings. 2025-06-17 11:19:07
Of the. 2025-06-17 11:19:13
Of the Bush hogging. 2025-06-17 11:19:16
Yeah, you need items. Yeah, recommendation. 2025-06-17 11:19:25
So I entertain a motion to accept. 2025-06-17 11:19:34
A little bit of land monsters, landscaping. 2025-06-17 11:19:37
OK. 2025-06-17 11:19:55
Call. 2025-06-17 11:20:01
Hi. 2025-06-17 11:20:04
No. 2025-06-17 11:20:07
Thank you. 2025-06-17 11:20:13
Returning the number. 2025-06-17 11:20:16
Connect Vitamin D RSP development. 2025-06-17 11:20:25
Briefly discuss during the executive session. 2025-06-17 11:20:28
Yeah. 2025-06-17 11:20:31
That are you that bad to bring it back? 2025-06-17 11:20:43
Yeah. 2025-06-17 11:20:46
Yeah. 2025-06-17 11:21:11
The IUS change or release no real update. 2025-06-17 11:21:29
Yeah, I guess he's needed. 2025-06-17 11:21:38
I don't know this gentleman that was having to walk through the ***. 2025-06-17 11:21:41
I don't know where we are at. 2025-06-17 11:22:26
I don't guess that he could join. 2025-06-17 11:22:29
Might be best just to try calling them. 2025-06-17 11:22:44
Transfer and transcripts me back over there. 2025-06-17 11:22:53
Reply. 2025-06-17 11:22:59
OK. 2025-06-17 11:23:17
There we go. 2025-06-17 11:23:29
We'll talk about. 2025-06-17 11:23:32
Hey, Jessica. Hey, sorry I can't figure out today. 2025-06-17 11:23:38
On the phone here. 2025-06-17 11:23:44
So we're talking about IUS and. 2025-06-17 11:23:47
Uh-huh. 2025-06-17 11:23:47
They haven't changed it as it's been outstanding since they. 2025-06-17 11:23:50
That we were trying to negotiate now. 2025-06-17 11:23:53
Trying to finalize the lease agreement. 2025-06-17 11:23:56
At the same time. 2025-06-17 11:23:59
That we're not saying. 2025-06-17 11:23:59
Going back and forth. 2025-06-17 11:24:05
Tomorrow's Toronto weather. 2025-06-17 11:24:17
Right where maybe they're gonna tell us. 2025-06-17 11:24:21
They want to change or I don't know. 2025-06-17 11:24:23
I'm not aware of. 2025-06-17 11:24:30
OK, what? 2025-06-17 11:24:42
Could we entertain? Well, we're not going. 2025-06-17 11:24:45
Figure out how we can get charm and stuff, but we don't want them to move forward. 2025-06-17 11:24:51
We're all here. We're all here, yeah. 2025-06-17 11:25:09
I don't know if we previously. 2025-06-17 11:25:12
If I file revenge, I don't know if they have to. 2025-06-17 11:25:21
You know, same form and what we've given, but you know. 2025-06-17 11:25:33
I haven't heard any changes. Maybe not. 2025-06-17 11:25:36
One way to do it or you just have another meeting with or you. 2025-06-17 11:25:42
We may want to do that or what? 2025-06-17 11:25:48
Can't see the leaves. I don't know that everyone. 2025-06-17 11:25:51
Yeah, Why don't we do that? Why don't we? 2025-06-17 11:25:57
After tomorrow. 2025-06-17 11:26:00
There's no. 2025-06-17 11:26:00
We'll get that out to everyone. 2025-06-17 11:26:03
Let's look at it and then we'll. 2025-06-17 11:26:06
Sure. 2025-06-17 11:26:24
I'm very good. 2025-06-17 11:26:27
And they have things to get ordered to and make. 2025-06-17 11:26:30
I mean I would alter that. 2025-06-17 11:26:36
Motion to make it so that you have the ability. 2025-06-17 11:26:39
Sign this outside of a meeting. OK if we review. 2025-06-17 11:26:42
And no one objects. 2025-06-17 11:26:45

For the average writing program, I was involved. 2025-06-17 16:35:44
In this years ago because 1000 years ago. 2025-06-17 16:35:47
Was pretty active before held another reason. 2025-06-17 16:35:50
That curtailed my activity. 2025-06-17 16:35:53
You'll keep on it from a distance, but I'm. 2025-06-17 16:35:56
Don't understand why. I understand, but I don't agree with the proposed. 2025-06-17 16:35:59
Shut down the program. 2025-06-17 16:36:02

Other people who are a bit limited in doing the recycling with. 2025-06-17 16:36:20
When I get up there, I got somebody to help me empty the hair. 2025-06-17 16:36:23
Convenient, it's a. 2025-06-17 16:36:26
All my viewers doing this it seems. 2025-06-17 16:36:29
Like a solid weed, there's always a low hand. 2025-06-17 16:36:32
Recycling gets cut. 2025-06-17 16:36:38
So right now I I just got. 2025-06-17 16:36:41
Baby shutting down recycling. 2025-06-17 16:36:44
Besides. 2025-06-17 16:36:47
Upsetting a lot of conservation. 2025-06-17 16:36:50
It's going to add many more tons to our landfill. 2025-06-17 16:36:53
That is going to go up there. 2025-06-17 16:36:56
And haven't been behind the wheel for very. 2025-06-17 16:36:59
Wrong, but every few years it seems. 2025-06-17 16:37:02
The landfill space and getting permits to build a high. 2025-06-17 16:37:05
And I'm wondering if you ever. 2025-06-17 16:37:08
Before doing this, cutting some of the fat I'll. 2025-06-17 16:37:11
For instance, there is at least 100 cat. 2025-06-17 16:37:14
Employees have taken card and. 2025-06-17 16:37:17
And many of them. 2025-06-17 16:37:20
The taxpayers are paying for insurance. 2025-06-17 16:37:23
And personal usage of these cars, that's not. 2025-06-17 16:37:26
Yeah, the vast majority of them are even free kids. 2025-06-17 16:37:29
From the Taxpayers for personal. 2025-06-17 16:37:32

Hurt people. My family has. 2025-06-17 16:40:33

That you would say by trying to cut it. 2025-06-17 16:41:51
Where exactly would it go? 2025-06-17 16:41:54
Would it actually help Hoosiers spread the? 2025-06-17 16:41:57
A better life, or would it? 2025-06-17 16:42:00
Going to politicians who have done. 2025-06-17 16:42:03
Nothing to deserve it. 2025-06-17 16:42:06

2 Aversal Dr. New Albany. 2025-06-17 16:42:33
I just heard about this a while back. 2025-06-17 16:42:36
Started reviving our cardboard out of the business. 2025-06-17 16:42:39
We have a lot of stuff. 2025-06-17 16:42:45
Cardboard to recycle every. 2025-06-17 16:42:48
Tuesday or Wednesday or Thursday when they come by. 2025-06-17 16:42:51
I guess I'm curious. 2025-06-17 16:42:57
About Where in the world is all this cardboard gonna go next? 2025-06-17 16:43:00
We have a ton of it out of there. 2025-06-17 16:43:03
Movable. 2025-06-17 16:43:06
You guys let us have it whenever. 2025-06-17 16:43:09
And it's full every time if not for. 2025-06-17 16:43:12
Cardboard from a small business on Silver Street. 2025-06-17 16:43:15
What are we going to do with this stuff? We don't do this. 2025-06-17 16:43:18
Echo tech can do it. I guess we can throw it all. 2025-06-17 16:43:21
If you want, it's gonna not be revival again. 2025-06-17 16:43:24
Recycling is one of the major things that I think about. 2025-06-17 16:43:27
It's a good idea. It's a great idea. 2025-06-17 16:43:33
And I'd like for you all to somehow. 2025-06-17 16:43:36
CEKFQ and continue. 2025-06-17 16:43:39
Recycling for Floyd County for the. 2025-06-17 16:43:42
A lot of people gonna be. 2025-06-17 16:43:45
Probably. 2025-06-17 16:43:45
Doing a lot of stupid stuff. 2025-06-17 16:43:48
And you need to think about that a lot of business. 2025-06-17 16:43:51
To think about, OK, go back and take another look at the budget. 2025-06-17 16:43:57
So you have somewhere, somehow. 2025-06-17 16:44:00
Subway You can make this project continue. 2025-06-17 16:44:03
Even if it has cost us. 2025-06-17 16:44:06
A little bit more businesses can do it. 2025-06-17 16:44:09
You know, we'll make it up somehow. I'd rather make it. 2025-06-17 16:44:12
That we have every day. 2025-06-17 16:44:15
I don't know about. 2025-06-17 16:44:15
People in general, but they'll probably go along. 2025-06-17 16:44:18
Too if I have to pay a little bit more to keep this program. 2025-06-17 16:44:21
It's a good one and I hope you can. 2025-06-17 16:44:24
That's good. Thank you. Thank you, Sir. 2025-06-17 16:44:28
Steve Abbott. 2025-06-17 16:44:30
I don't think you start with your address. Please Sir. 2025-06-17 16:44:45
Albany, IN. 2025-06-17 16:44:49
Like I've been coming to these. 2025-06-17 16:44:51
I've been trying. 2025-06-17 16:44:55
Find ways to make recycling better. 2025-06-17 16:44:58
I don't know a lot about the. 2025-06-17 16:45:04
Financial situation in the county where it's hard for me to leave. 2025-06-17 16:45:07
There's not some other places that you couldn't cut that, wouldn't it? 2025-06-17 16:45:10
Have quite the impact in the long range. 2025-06-17 16:45:13
We might be able to cut and we might go. 2025-06-17 16:45:16
Based on short range we need to be able to. 2025-06-17 16:45:19
To save the country. 2025-06-17 16:45:22
Everybody in the long run. 2025-06-17 16:45:25
I would say. 2025-06-17 16:45:31
Idea would be if all else failed, we could. 2025-06-17 16:45:34
Cut it back a little bit and hopefully. 2025-06-17 16:45:37
I think if we cut the program. 2025-06-17 16:45:40
So I prefer to see maybe cutting it. 2025-06-17 16:45:46
But not. 2025-06-17 16:45:49
Thank you. 2025-06-17 16:45:52
Thanks Sir. 2025-06-17 16:45:54
How? 2025-06-17 16:45:58
Good evening, holy trash. 2025-06-17 16:46:04
811 West St. New Albany, IN. 2025-06-17 16:46:07
So I've been a resident of Floyd County for about 12. 2025-06-17 16:46:10
Coming up on 20 years now and I've been. 2025-06-17 16:46:13
Recycling since I moved here. It's something I've been very proud of since I moved. 2025-06-17 16:46:16
Here's Albany and Floyd County. So obvious. 2025-06-17 16:46:19
They were very upset to hear that they were wanting to get rid of. 2025-06-17 16:46:22
You know it's a great program and you know the web. 2025-06-17 16:46:25
Like great the program. 2025-06-17 16:46:28
Then is trying to become a community hub, you know, like I. 2025-06-17 16:46:31
On the website today, like they're trying to do like a canned food. 2025-06-17 16:46:34
For for the whole program. 2025-06-17 16:46:37
You know what? I think that's great also. 2025-06-17 16:46:40
Being here so that it's also good for businesses to be here as well. 2025-06-17 16:46:43
And more revenue, so. 2025-06-17 16:46:46
The most thing I'm worried about that really brought me here tonight is that. 2025-06-17 16:46:49
Hazardous waste that is not gonna have anywhere to go. 2025-06-17 16:46:52
Is this program goes away? 2025-06-17 16:46:55
I understand that that is the service that is paid for. 2025-06-17 16:46:58
I don't think any neighboring program is going to allow that Most of the. 2025-06-17 16:47:04
They run on the website. Nope, you have to be a resident of this. 2025-06-17 16:47:07
For the state in order to bring those hazardous materials where they don't. 2025-06-17 16:47:10
Going to go, you know they're going to get them off the ground. 2025-06-17 16:47:13
For all different types of things that are, that's not great for the investment. 2025-06-17 16:47:19
So I mean, this is, this is a government for. 2025-06-17 16:47:25
It's not supposed to make money. 2025-06-17 16:47:28
Point of government is to provide these services. 2025-06-17 16:47:31
You know overall not you know it shouldn't be. 2025-06-17 16:47:34
Just kind of a quick fix to shore up a budget. 2025-06-17 16:47:37
That's not really that's not fair to the environment. Why should the environment happen? 2025-06-17 16:47:40
For that, and I also agree with Mr. Moore's comment. 2025-06-17 16:47:43
And about, you know, yeah, there is a lot of I have no. 2025-06-17 16:47:46
For essential functions. 2025-06-17 16:47:55
I you know, I know that some are are not used to that. 2025-06-17 16:47:58
Thank you. 2025-06-17 16:48:04
Andrew. 2025-06-17 16:48:07
I believe it's Rick. 2025-06-17 16:48:10
Breaker, Sorry about my terrible handwriting. Don't. 2025-06-17 16:48:16
New Albany, Florida County School if that happens before I drove here. 2025-06-17 16:48:19
Uh, 3813 Dogwood Road and Floyds Knight. 2025-06-17 16:48:22
You know, I'm also long. 2025-06-17 16:48:25
What county resident I've seen how the recycling? 2025-06-17 16:48:28
Program grew from a trailer at Saint Mary. 2025-06-17 16:48:31
One day of the week to the large facility. 2025-06-17 16:48:34
Galena, William Park and now most. 2025-06-17 16:48:37
Wednesdays I'm at the Galena library. 2025-06-17 16:48:40
Using services there. 2025-06-17 16:48:43
It's great to see that investment. I would really hate to see. 2025-06-17 16:48:46
The work that Floyd County residents have done. 2025-06-17 16:48:49
And invested in that go to. 2025-06-17 16:48:52
Also certainly want to commence the employees of the. 2025-06-17 16:48:55
Certainly wanna look at. 2025-06-17 16:48:58
For their future, I know they're. 2025-06-17 16:49:01
Recycling unit but when I got a flat tire on 260. 2025-06-17 16:49:04
Five couple months ago, one of the. 2025-06-17 16:49:07
Said hey, did you have car trouble? I wanted to stop but I didn't have. 2025-06-17 16:49:10
Have enough time to do that and I can't think of any other. 2025-06-17 16:49:13
Public servants that just. 2025-06-17 16:49:16
Show me from passing. 2025-06-17 16:49:19
Through once a week and would want to help out folks. 2025-06-17 16:49:22
I'm also a volunteer at the VPN for Hope Southern Indiana and we're. 2025-06-17 16:49:25
We're certainly grateful for the Solid Waste District and their. 2025-06-17 16:49:28
With collecting up handy. 2025-06-17 16:49:31
Good from donations to Floyd County residents. 2025-06-17 16:49:34
But we got through a lot of cardboard, as you might have. 2025-06-17 16:49:37
Just like the florist and. 2025-06-17 16:49:40
Our mission To serve. 2025-06-17 16:49:43
The media presidents of Floyd County and southern Indiana. 2025-06-17 16:49:46
Would be severely Hanford if we have to figure out that. 2025-06-17 16:49:49
Another way to dispose of this, not just the environment. 2025-06-17 16:49:52
Cost, of course, of having. 2025-06-17 16:49:55
Other way having to take money out of our tight budget but. 2025-06-17 16:49:58
It's hard to. 2025-06-17 16:50:01
Operate a food pantry when there's a bunch of. 2025-06-17 16:50:04
Going up, and that's an important public service. 2025-06-17 16:50:07
The recycling is so important as it is. 2025-06-17 16:50:10
But it also helps other public services. 2025-06-17 16:50:13
Happen in our great county so. 2025-06-17 16:50:16
I am here as part of it. Thank you. Thank you. 2025-06-17 16:50:19
Alright. 2025-06-17 16:50:22
I hope I get this one right as well. Susan is it? 2025-06-17 16:50:25
OK. 2025-06-17 16:50:29
You think I get that one right? 2025-06-17 16:50:31
Three questions you haven't really pronounced directly. 2025-06-17 16:50:38
Which Recycling 1 is? 2025-06-17 16:50:40
I kept these meetings rescheduled and people are. 2025-06-17 16:50:44
Involved in their work. 2025-06-17 16:50:46
You know, later in the evening. That's it. 2025-06-17 16:50:50
Question for you guys and. 2025-06-17 16:50:52
We we get the tribute to the. 2025-06-17 16:50:59
We're not into this intrusion. Is that how you find out about? 2025-06-17 16:51:01
Is there a better way to get? 2025-06-17 16:51:05
OK. 2025-06-17 16:51:07
Recycling is what does it say? 2025-06-17 16:51:11
About our community because we don't recycle. 2025-06-17 16:51:14
It does doesn't sound good. 2025-06-17 16:51:17
What does it say about our community that we can't? 2025-06-17 16:51:20
Not managed to recycle. 2025-06-17 16:51:22
Denise Cockle. 2025-06-17 16:51:29
Denny's Conco. 2025-06-17 16:51:40
County Council I read about this. 2025-06-17 16:51:50
In the paper on a Saturday morning. 2025-06-17 16:51:53
I did nothing about this before that. 2025-06-17 16:51:56
I don't know why we. 2025-06-17 16:51:59
The recycling program. 2025-06-17 16:52:05
I don't know is it financial related because. 2025-06-17 16:52:08
I'm a member of the fiduciary body. 2025-06-17 16:52:11
And do nothing about it. 2025-06-17 16:52:14
How did you know that you had my to support this? 2025-06-17 16:52:17
We do. 2025-06-17 16:52:20
We do have money to support the program. 2025-06-17 16:52:23
I don't expect you as normal. 2025-06-17 16:52:26
And I can show you where we can support. 2025-06-17 16:52:29
Program and we could do it really. 2025-06-17 16:52:32
Without using taxi or doc. 2025-06-17 16:52:35
If we want to do that, we have riverboat. 2025-06-17 16:52:38
I'm sitting out here right now upset. 2025-06-17 16:52:41
$1000. 2025-06-17 16:52:44
It's not appropriate for this year and. 2025-06-17 16:52:47
Up to $1,000,000 next year. 2025-06-17 16:52:50
So I don't know if we're doing this because. 2025-06-17 16:52:53
That's a budgetary strength. 2025-06-17 16:52:56
Umm, I got the feeling that that's what other people. 2025-06-17 16:52:59
Why other people thought we were doing this? 2025-06-17 16:53:02
I don't know. Is there an answer why we're doing this? 2025-06-17 16:53:05
No answer. 2025-06-17 16:53:08
Is it right? 2025-06-17 16:53:11
Plan. If we do away with this program, is there another plan? 2025-06-17 16:53:14
In place, four people of. 2025-06-17 16:53:17
No answer, ma'am. This is not your first. 2025-06-17 16:53:23
Time of the public meeting you, you understand this is this. 2025-06-17 16:53:26
For your opportunity to speak, this is a question and answer, but it. 2025-06-17 16:53:29
I understand everybody here would be happy to speak to anyone after this. 2025-06-17 16:53:32
The meeting so OK I have it and the first time. 2025-06-17 16:53:35
Heard about this and I'm a I'm a leader in the community. 2025-06-17 16:53:38
And we had joint meetings every. 2025-06-17 16:53:41
And this could have brought been brought up. 2025-06-17 16:53:44
And this could have been discussed as whether it was. 2025-06-17 16:53:47
To continue this program. 2025-06-17 16:53:50
That is, I will. I will leave. 2025-06-17 16:53:53
With the numbers we have the money to do. 2025-06-17 16:53:56
And this definitely says. 2025-06-17 16:54:02
Wrong message to our family. 2025-06-17 16:54:05
Our kids to our my grandkids. 2025-06-17 16:54:08
I have a four year old that asked me. 2025-06-17 16:54:11
It's the background for recycling. 2025-06-17 16:54:14
And we want to do away with it. 2025-06-17 16:54:17
Your program I I don't, I don't. 2025-06-17 16:54:20
I don't understand any of these. Is it fine? 2025-06-17 16:54:23
Actually, is it finances? Is it a different? 2025-06-17 16:54:26
Reason. Is there another plan? 2025-06-17 16:54:29
I don't know what. 2025-06-17 16:54:32
You're over about. 2025-06-17 16:54:35
Thank you. 2025-06-17 16:54:38
Thank you. 2025-06-17 16:54:41
All right, I have. 2025-06-17 16:54:47
I hate that. Like yes ma'am, they. 2025-06-17 16:54:50
I have to have an opportunity to speak. 2025-06-17 16:54:53
Thank you. I appreciate it. I. 2025-06-17 16:54:56
Wrapped up work early today is going to be here. 2025-06-17 16:54:59
My name is Lily Lugins. My address is 4/3/03. 2025-06-17 16:55:02
It was my understanding. 2025-06-17 16:55:08
That the consideration. 2025-06-17 16:55:11
For any of the recycling program, is as a result of. 2025-06-17 16:55:14
Reduction in income, or I should say at. 2025-06-17 16:55:17
That the local government will have it. 2025-06-17 16:55:20
As a consequence of changes that have been made to attack. 2025-06-17 16:55:23
By that General Assembly specifically to reduction. 2025-06-17 16:55:26
Property taxes that may be correct. 2025-06-17 16:55:29
Correct. First thing I want to say is that that is true if any. 2025-06-17 16:55:32
That the General Assembly has done this to. 2025-06-17 16:55:35
I can do about that now. I was against the. 2025-06-17 16:55:41
Property taxes because a lot of these reduction in taxes. 2025-06-17 16:55:44
It's a three card market. They cut it. 2025-06-17 16:55:47
We're happy with them. And then you all get cut and we and and. 2025-06-17 16:55:50
Angry with you. And that's that's not the way that it should. 2025-06-17 16:55:53
I do want to say. 2025-06-17 16:55:56
My husband and I moved here from Louisville 21 years. 2025-06-17 16:55:59
So we've been using a recycling program. 2025-06-17 16:56:02
And we've been, really. 2025-06-17 16:56:08
Prestwick Lloyd County in general and one of the reasons. 2025-06-17 16:56:11
This is why is the recycling program I am a. 2025-06-17 16:56:14
Former environmental attorney, I do believe. 2025-06-17 16:56:17
We can't protect the environment so we can continue to live our mind. 2025-06-17 16:56:20
A life without a lot of. 2025-06-17 16:56:23
Household hazardous waste in Silver Creek. 2025-06-17 16:56:26
Have you? But the other thing is that. 2025-06-17 16:56:29
Cycling has been beneficial to us financially because it we. 2025-06-17 16:56:32
Reduces our solid waste produced by our house by. 2025-06-17 16:56:35
About half, probably, which means that. 2025-06-17 16:56:38
Solid waste service so that. 2025-06-17 16:56:44
We need that we've got less than 110 instead. 2025-06-17 16:56:47
So we're paying less. 2025-06-17 16:56:50
So the cost of ending the recycling program? 2025-06-17 16:56:53
Is going to simply shift to other areas people? 2025-06-17 16:56:57
Going to have to pay more because they're going to have more. 2025-06-17 16:56:59
Municipalities that pay for disposal waste, they're going to have. 2025-06-17 16:57:03
Have to pay more? 2025-06-17 16:57:05
Landfills will fill up. The utilization will include. 2025-06-17 16:57:09
We will need more, which means find. 2025-06-17 16:57:12
Land supply land preparing it for land. 2025-06-17 16:57:14
We will see the cost elsewhere, so thank you for you. 2025-06-17 16:57:18
Thank you. Real quick before you leave, can I get your name just one more? 2025-06-17 16:57:21
How I I didn't get a chance to write it down. 2025-06-17 16:57:24
No. 2025-06-17 16:57:27
That'd be great. Thank you so much. 2025-06-17 16:57:30
Yes, ma'am, we have not passed. 2025-06-17 16:57:33
Can I get your name as well? My name is Debbie Hackman. 2025-06-17 16:57:39
My address is 3323 E County Road, Porter. 2025-06-17 16:57:42
On the solid waste district. 2025-06-17 16:57:45
I've met some of you before. I'm also there. 2025-06-17 16:57:48
India state solid waste. 2025-06-17 16:57:51
The Rural Community Development program and I want to recycle. 2025-06-17 16:57:54
Market Development Board for the State of Indiana UMM. 2025-06-17 16:57:57
We were. We were surprised and saddened to hear that. 2025-06-17 16:58:00
I'm thinking about eliminating and when I tell them I want to. 2025-06-17 16:58:03
Forget my wording straight, are you talking about this? 2025-06-17 16:58:06
Eliminating a solid waste district. 2025-06-17 16:58:09
Completely. 2025-06-17 16:58:12
I don't know that this is not a question and answer set. 2025-06-17 16:58:18
OK, well I want to make sure that I mentioned it. 2025-06-17 16:58:21
If you are limiting consolidation history. 2025-06-17 16:58:24
You still up? I just have to. 2025-06-17 16:58:27
Provide the same programs that they are providing now. 2025-06-17 16:58:30
I have to find funding for this and I know they should get funded out of edit fund. 2025-06-17 16:58:33
And I know because it may be because of the federal war. 2025-06-17 16:58:36
You're going to have to maybe move some some. 2025-06-17 16:58:39
This is that no one from this board has. 2025-06-17 16:58:45
UMM has approached. 2025-06-17 16:58:48
Indiana Association of Solid Waste District who can help you? 2025-06-17 16:58:51
With your budgeting can help you look at your budget if you find. 2025-06-17 16:58:54
More sources of revenue maybe and find some. 2025-06-17 16:58:57
Something that you couldn't tell? Or do you have a cheaper price? No. 2025-06-17 16:59:00
It's called the Indiana World Community. 2025-06-17 16:59:03
This is a program that I work for and ask for help. 2025-06-17 16:59:06
And helping your budget and maybe looking at this and how do we. 2025-06-17 16:59:09
People happy and still have recycling and. 2025-06-17 16:59:12
How much their habit of waste program. 2025-06-17 16:59:15
And maybe we can find the money. 2025-06-17 16:59:18
Now eliminating it completely. OK, uh, if I. 2025-06-17 16:59:21
Great thing going here. And the other thing is? 2025-06-17 16:59:24
Two years ago, you received a grant from the. 2025-06-17 16:59:27
Market development award you purchase asset. 2025-06-17 16:59:30
One thing I I would like you to speak with. 2025-06-17 16:59:33
That is what's gonna happen to those assets that hasn't asked them. 2025-06-17 16:59:36
Because those can be sold because they work in. 2025-06-17 16:59:39
Doing good things that they were going to be used for recycling program. 2025-06-17 16:59:42
So that's one thing that if you. 2025-06-17 16:59:45
Using it for this this idea of eliminating the program. 2025-06-17 16:59:48
That's something you need to check into, because that could be a. 2025-06-17 16:59:51
You know anything else could be concerned about that? 2025-06-17 16:59:54
Thank you. All right. 2025-06-17 16:59:57
That concludes that portion of our public. 2025-06-17 17:00:00
Comment Umm, I'll go ahead and open up the floor to the. 2025-06-17 17:00:03
Other board members if they have. 2025-06-17 17:00:06
Further comments they would like to make regarding this matter. 2025-06-17 17:00:09
I'll be happy to start. 2025-06-17 17:00:15
But unless you would like to die. 2025-06-17 17:00:18
Then back. 2025-06-17 17:00:21
Well, you know, I've been pretty young. 2025-06-17 17:00:24
Spoken over the last several months. 2025-06-17 17:00:27
About some of the legislation that has. 2025-06-17 17:00:30
Been passed that could have. 2025-06-17 17:00:33
To everyone of our communities, to the point where. 2025-06-17 17:00:36
I can't imagine that there's any community out right now that. 2025-06-17 17:00:39
Not examining the services they. 2025-06-17 17:00:42
And and how they're gonna provide those services. Umm. 2025-06-17 17:00:45
You know, we're, we have not just the county government. 2025-06-17 17:00:48
But we got school, we have fire departments, we have libraries. 2025-06-17 17:00:51
We have municipalities that are all getting ready to. 2025-06-17 17:00:54
Take a significant decrease in the amount of funding. 2025-06-17 17:00:57
That they have to provide service. 2025-06-17 17:01:00
And I've been very clear. 2025-06-17 17:01:03
Over the last couple months that. 2025-06-17 17:01:06
My job is to make sure that the services that we're statutory. 2025-06-17 17:01:09
Orally responsible for providing. 2025-06-17 17:01:12
2020 in 2017, that's correct. 2025-06-17 17:02:32
And the way that our lawyers have counseled us. 2025-06-17 17:02:35
With regards to that statute is. 2025-06-17 17:02:38
We don't have to have any services available. 2025-06-17 17:02:41
After that, that's their legal interpretation I have. 2025-06-17 17:02:44
Be returning to look into that for us. 2025-06-17 17:02:47
So the legality of that has been looked into and also looked into. 2025-06-17 17:02:53
Legality of the grants that are out there as well. 2025-06-17 17:02:56
Understanding that as long as we go beyond a certain number. 2025-06-17 17:02:59
With those and we're not under any. 2025-06-17 17:03:02
Scrutiny or were not in violation of any. 2025-06-17 17:03:05
Receipt of those grants, in order, we have to repay them. 2025-06-17 17:03:08
But certainly if we found out that we. 2025-06-17 17:03:11
Sideways with that and that equipment would either go back. 2025-06-17 17:03:14
Or the money. 2025-06-17 17:03:17
If it was turned out, If it turned out that was illegal myself. 2025-06-17 17:03:20
We discussed this publicly. This. 2025-06-17 17:03:26
More than once, I mean, we had discussion. 2025-06-17 17:03:29
Moratorium and during those discussions I'm not even. 2025-06-17 17:03:32
Talking about, we weren't exactly sure what path we were doing. 2025-06-17 17:03:35
Have to go down whether we're going to have to go outdoors. 2025-06-17 17:03:38
Thing was, they're going to have a discontinuation of this but. 2025-06-17 17:03:41
This is not the first time this has been on the radar. 2025-06-17 17:03:44
With regards to the paper, I know. 2025-06-17 17:03:47
Circulation dwindles, we still average. 2025-06-17 17:03:50
Archives and that we are on Facebook. 2025-06-17 17:03:53
Books on the commissioner's page and I know there's a very active. 2025-06-17 17:03:57
Communication that goes on within. 2025-06-17 17:03:59
The recycling community as well. 2025-06-17 17:04:02
So unfortunately it seems like the more ways we have to. 2025-06-17 17:04:06
Communicate with one another in the less effective. 2025-06-17 17:04:08
Also doing public service for 10 years now I will take. 2025-06-17 17:04:15
There's no great time to have a meeting, uh, people? 2025-06-17 17:04:18
People work at all hours. We have a 10 AM this morning for redevelop. 2025-06-17 17:04:21
Had a few attendees. We'll have a six PM tonight so there's not. 2025-06-17 17:04:24
Any 9:00 to 5:00 work. 2025-06-17 17:04:27
Forth anymore out there Monday through. 2025-06-17 17:04:29
Friday everybody's working all hours, so I know that that's inconvenient for. 2025-06-17 17:04:33
Ha. 2025-06-17 17:04:36
With regards to where the money made. 2025-06-17 17:04:38
Going I'm always. 2025-06-17 17:04:42
A little format when people think that if this is cut out the. 2025-06-17 17:04:45
We're really going to be lying in our pockets with it. 2025-06-17 17:04:48
It doesn't happen that way right now. 2025-06-17 17:04:51
I will tell you that we're projecting probably. 2025-06-17 17:04:54
We need to replace 10. 2025-06-17 17:04:57
No files over the next 5 to 8 years within the. 2025-06-17 17:05:00
County vast majority of. 2025-06-17 17:05:03
Next week was purchased in 2016 and 2017 with a hot. 2025-06-17 17:05:06
Revenue was received and. 2025-06-17 17:05:09
Purchased a couple of years ago, there have been no white. 2025-06-17 17:05:12
Replacement each one of those. 2025-06-17 17:05:15
Large tandem trucks run about 200 and. 2025-06-17 17:05:18
$50,000 apiece. 2025-06-17 17:05:20
And. 2025-06-17 17:05:21
We're looking at the county of trying to replace. 2025-06-17 17:05:24
Equipment trying to do it with offset from the. 2025-06-17 17:05:27
Budget rather than having to raise taxes and revenue. 2025-06-17 17:05:30
To do that that work really. 2025-06-17 17:05:33
Should have begun a few years ago. 2025-06-17 17:05:36
It's going to begin this year, but I can. 2025-06-17 17:05:39
Say 1 tandem chart of $250,000 that was quote. 2025-06-17 17:05:42
Two years ago, so I imagine it's only gone up. 2025-06-17 17:05:45
So more than likely that's where. 2025-06-17 17:05:48
This portion of this money is going to go. 2025-06-17 17:05:51
I believe that we probably. 2025-06-17 17:05:54
Could use river belt money for a year or two but I don't think it's a month. 2025-06-17 17:05:57
Long term with regards to this. 2025-06-17 17:06:00
And I don't think anybody in this room can tell us what can. 2025-06-17 17:06:03
To happen with the projected custom. 2025-06-17 17:06:06
Revenue from the property taxes, even the Department of Law. 2025-06-17 17:06:09
Local government finance tells us that we can't. 2025-06-17 17:06:12
Count on anything until quote UN quote. It happens. 2025-06-17 17:06:15
And that's no way to do business. 2025-06-17 17:06:18
One final thought. 2025-06-17 17:06:21
Umm, you know, as in. 2025-06-17 17:06:24
Government services consist of providing. 2025-06-17 17:06:27
Safety, in my opinion, providing for infrastructure, Brian, correct. 2025-06-17 17:06:30
Providing for some healthcare measures. 2025-06-17 17:06:33
I think that you could discuss. 2025-06-17 17:06:36
Recycling programs and education. 2025-06-17 17:06:39
Providing for the COM. 2025-06-17 17:06:41
A result said. You know, that is the cost of business. 2025-06-17 17:08:06
Sometimes it gets passed on to the consumer. 2025-06-17 17:08:09
But those are my. 2025-06-17 17:08:12
Not all of my thoughts, and probably best that I. 2025-06-17 17:08:15
Give everybody all my thoughts at anyone time effort because. 2025-06-17 17:08:18
I could be a little bit of a dangerous place at times, you know? 2025-06-17 17:08:21
That's what is front of mind. 2025-06-17 17:08:24
Right now with regards to death, so. 2025-06-17 17:08:27
Those are my comments at the moment of this Mike I. 2025-06-17 17:08:30
Thank you. 2025-06-17 17:08:33
Any other comments? 2025-06-17 17:08:36
I'd like to say hotel. 2025-06-17 17:08:39
Concur with Mr. Sharp, Mr. 2025-06-17 17:08:42
We need to figure out what's in my mind what? 2025-06-17 17:08:48
Very important is public safety and infrastructure. 2025-06-17 17:08:51
I guess I could put. 2025-06-17 17:08:54
Just into my bucket of public safety, especially with the. 2025-06-17 17:08:57
As this material. 2025-06-17 17:09:00
We all know that. 2025-06-17 17:09:00
Problem I mean in the old days when you. 2025-06-17 17:09:03
Orgasm compatriot mechanics dump it out. 2025-06-17 17:09:07
Around and walk away. Well, we don't do that anymore. 2025-06-17 17:09:10
Paint where? 2025-06-17 17:09:12
And said the other day we'll make the paper from Latex pay. 2025-06-17 17:09:16
Wow, that's more of like it shouldn't have been. 2025-06-17 17:09:19
That was on the contractor. He should have disposed them more properly. 2025-06-17 17:09:22
But then again, just looking. 2025-06-17 17:09:25
Back or you know, I'll date myself, but. 2025-06-17 17:09:28
I know in this it hadn't been that long ago, but. 2025-06-17 17:09:31
That was guys that rode around pickup truck looking for. 2025-06-17 17:09:34
Cardboard. I mean, they would and they. 2025-06-17 17:09:37
Take it down Riverside Recycling and. 2025-06-17 17:09:40
I got myself a mentor, Social Security or whatever. I don't. 2025-06-17 17:09:43
But I and furthermore just. 2025-06-17 17:09:46
Anything that we could that we're doing that we. 2025-06-17 17:09:49
Get private enterprise to do it. 2025-06-17 17:09:52
Better for everybody concerning Mr. 2025-06-17 17:09:55
Pointed out in the city. 2025-06-17 17:09:58
We pay a separate fee for recycling. 2025-06-17 17:10:01
I just wonder if the company. 2025-06-17 17:10:04
Provide. 2025-06-17 17:10:07
Disposal in the county would be amicable to. 2025-06-17 17:10:10
Having a separate truck like in New Albany. 2025-06-17 17:10:13
Equotech. They come down my alley with a garbage truck they can. 2025-06-17 17:10:16
Down my alley with a recycling truck. I just wonder if. 2025-06-17 17:10:19
Private enterprise would be amicable to doing that. 2025-06-17 17:10:22
4 feet, That's just my fault. 2025-06-17 17:10:25
Thank you. 2025-06-17 17:10:28
So. 2025-06-17 17:10:31
I want to begin my thoughts by making a. 2025-06-17 17:10:34
Observation as the. 2025-06-17 17:10:37
Loan representatives of the city. 2025-06-17 17:10:40
Government. 2025-06-17 17:10:43
The first thing you know, like knowledge, is what you. 2025-06-17 17:10:46
You all have said that we as a city do have overseas. 2025-06-17 17:10:49
Recycling program and that will. 2025-06-17 17:10:52
You regardless of. 2025-06-17 17:10:55
Any changes necessitated? 2025-06-17 17:10:58
Here or with the. 2025-06-17 17:11:01
Solid weight program so. 2025-06-17 17:11:04
Government has viewed that as a priority. 2025-06-17 17:11:07
We have a fee for vet for that and we'll continue to provide. 2025-06-17 17:11:10
That we're city residents. 2025-06-17 17:11:13
We receive a value from some. 2025-06-17 17:11:16
Solid waste is with those hazards. 2025-06-17 17:11:19
Materials. 2025-06-17 17:11:22
It's with the electronics. 2025-06-17 17:11:25
Because there isn't a similar. 2025-06-17 17:11:28
Component to our results. 2025-06-17 17:11:31
Cycling program and that is something that. 2025-06-17 17:11:34
I think all of our residents county wide. 2025-06-17 17:11:37
Can benefit from. 2025-06-17 17:11:40
I appreciate. 2025-06-17 17:11:46
And joined with all of. 2025-06-17 17:11:49
You in the frustration that. 2025-06-17 17:11:52
I think that our state legislators have. 2025-06-17 17:11:55
Missed the mark. I think they. 2025-06-17 17:11:58
Failed to appropriately address. 2025-06-17 17:12:01
The key problem and in roughing. 2025-06-17 17:12:04
To arrive at. 2025-06-17 17:12:07
Solution they have created. 2025-06-17 17:12:10
A series of. 2025-06-17 17:12:13
Local problems with schools. 2025-06-17 17:12:16
With local government and. 2025-06-17 17:12:19
I do expect that. 2025-06-17 17:12:22
Most entities at those levels will have. 2025-06-17 17:12:25
To make decisions about how. 2025-06-17 17:12:28
Incorporate those cuts, whether it be. 2025-06-17 17:12:31
Production in services whether it be and implementing. 2025-06-17 17:12:34
Of a new tax that they particularly also wrote in. 2025-06-17 17:12:37
Legislation so they. 2025-06-17 17:12:40
Made some provision for, but those will be. 2025-06-17 17:12:43
Things that that will have to be dealt with. 2025-06-17 17:12:46
What I think I. 2025-06-17 17:12:49
I would prefer before we. 2025-06-17 17:12:52
Jump to a conversation. 2025-06-17 17:12:55
About outright eliminating something. 2025-06-17 17:12:58
Is to develop a plan. 2025-06-17 17:13:01
For what that would look like. 2025-06-17 17:13:04
If the county, for example, wants to have Congress. 2025-06-17 17:13:07
Conversations and employ. 2025-06-17 17:13:10
Tech or a similar waste management system to. 2025-06-17 17:13:13
Do residential recycling pickup. 2025-06-17 17:13:16
I would like to have those conversa. 2025-06-17 17:13:19
So that we know what we're transitioning to and the. 2025-06-17 17:13:22
Can be aware of that and we can all know the. 2025-06-17 17:13:25
Have a plan if the plan is to. 2025-06-17 17:13:28
Do not have any recycling services. 2025-06-17 17:13:31
I think that we should at least have a conversation. 2025-06-17 17:13:34
Conversation about how we're going to provide for. 2025-06-17 17:13:37
Some of these hazardous conditions. 2025-06-17 17:13:40
And I also. 2025-06-17 17:13:43
Have. 2025-06-17 17:13:46
A concern. 2025-06-17 17:13:49
For our team. 2025-06-17 17:13:52
Our team has done an. 2025-06-17 17:13:55
Excellent job of building this program. 2025-06-17 17:13:58
Over a number of years. 2025-06-17 17:14:01
They provide education they provide. 2025-06-17 17:14:04
The waste management. 2025-06-17 17:14:07
In many ways. 2025-06-17 17:14:10
I would argue that having this service. 2025-06-17 17:14:13
Also helps reduce some of the. 2025-06-17 17:14:16
Trash and debris and waste that might other. 2025-06-17 17:14:19
End up along the side of the road or. 2025-06-17 17:14:22
Hillsides or wherever. 2025-06-17 17:14:25
To Dale Point, yeah. 2025-06-17 17:14:28
That that was how a lot of people dealt with oil, that was. 2025-06-17 17:14:31
How a lot of people dealt with paint with tires. 2025-06-17 17:14:35
Al and I. 2025-06-17 17:14:37
March around Silver Hills and to this day probably. 2025-06-17 17:14:41
Find somewhere where someone is thrown out tires. 2025-06-17 17:14:44
In a otherwise you know. 2025-06-17 17:14:47
Vacant sections of property. 2025-06-17 17:14:53
And I think that. 2025-06-17 17:14:55
I think those are the things that that. 2025-06-17 17:14:59
It would be right to be explored. 2025-06-17 17:15:02
I will defer to Mike. 2025-06-17 17:15:05
County colleagues about. 2025-06-17 17:15:08
Some of their financial constraints. 2025-06-17 17:15:11
We can't address and answer that for them. 2025-06-17 17:15:13
Them. Nor should they. 2025-06-17 17:15:17
Inform me as a city. 2025-06-17 17:15:20
But either of how we should always. 2025-06-17 17:15:23
Do that. 2025-06-17 17:15:26
But I do think that maybe. 2025-06-17 17:15:29
There would be some some YS. 2025-06-17 17:15:32
Thought to actually move it. 2025-06-17 17:15:35
When we did the moratorium, I. 2025-06-17 17:15:38
I thought that what we would do is. 2025-06-17 17:15:41
Go through a process and I voted for the moratorium because I thought. 2025-06-17 17:15:44
Thought that was a prudent first step to make sure. 2025-06-17 17:15:47
That our costs. 2025-06-17 17:15:50
Reined in and we appreciated the severity. 2025-06-17 17:15:53
Of the situation and were able to make. 2025-06-17 17:15:56
Make adjustments. 2025-06-17 17:15:59
I think you know to the point. 2025-06-17 17:16:02
Al made. I think you're right. Perhaps we don't. 2025-06-17 17:16:05
Want to use riverboat money at the county? 2025-06-17 17:16:08
Seeds that come in from other places. 2025-06-17 17:16:11
As a continuing source. 2025-06-17 17:16:13
But perhaps. 2025-06-17 17:16:14
Apps that would give us a period of time. 2025-06-17 17:16:17
Over the next year. 2025-06-17 17:16:20
To decide. 2025-06-17 17:16:23
What direction is the best and what options? 2025-06-17 17:16:26
Have and and come up with that plan. 2025-06-17 17:16:29
Umm, you know, I think we've we. 2025-06-17 17:16:32
Models and have done that in other ways, whether it be Regard. 2025-06-17 17:16:35
Bring our our assets or facilities. 2025-06-17 17:16:38
Other sorts of things and so I guess. 2025-06-17 17:16:41
The point that I would make is. 2025-06-17 17:16:44
You know, I understand the need to. 2025-06-17 17:16:47
Face the reality. 2025-06-17 17:16:50
I guess I'm just wondering if we're if. 2025-06-17 17:16:53
Feels like we're moving to a final decision. 2025-06-17 17:16:56
Before we've had a chance to read. 2025-06-17 17:16:59
Really do some evaluation and look at some. 2025-06-17 17:17:02
Options collectively at the board. 2025-06-17 17:17:05
Any other comments? 2025-06-17 17:17:14
I've got a couple, I've just been here since January. 2025-06-17 17:17:17
This topic has been on the agenda. 2025-06-17 17:17:20
Meeting that I've been at. 2025-06-17 17:17:23
So this is my 12th meeting. 2025-06-17 17:17:26
And we've been talking about it and if you want to. 2025-06-17 17:17:29
Serve the public. Maybe we should get the city. 2025-06-17 17:17:32
Together and we can solve these problems together. 2025-06-17 17:17:35
That we serve all of the public instead of whether you. 2025-06-17 17:17:38
You live in the city or the county? 2025-06-17 17:17:41
Ever, ma'am? 2025-06-17 17:17:47
Any other comments? 2025-06-17 17:17:50
All right, so. 2025-06-17 17:17:53
Given the fact that we want to make sure. 2025-06-17 17:17:56
Public has ample time to speak today. 2025-06-17 17:17:59
About some of the. 2025-06-17 17:18:02
Issues revolving around the South. 2025-06-17 17:18:05
I'd like to recommend that. 2025-06-17 17:18:08
That we accept the directive reported presented. 2025-06-17 17:18:11
Umm, yeah. 2025-06-17 17:18:14
Yeah. 2025-06-17 17:18:17
Other than that, OK. 2025-06-17 17:18:23
So I I moved to accept the director support. 2025-06-17 17:18:26
I'll second. OK, got a motion by Al. 2025-06-17 17:18:32
And a second by Frank to accept. 2025-06-17 17:18:35
The directors report as submitted. 2025-06-17 17:18:38
Further discussion. 2025-06-17 17:18:40
All in favor signal. 2025-06-17 17:18:44
If I was saying aye aye aye aye, any opposed? 2025-06-17 17:18:47
Motion carried. 2025-06-17 17:18:50
Umm. 2025-06-17 17:18:50
I'll go ahead and open up public comment. 2025-06-17 17:18:53
Are you looking for any general recommendation on this file? 2025-06-17 17:18:56
In legal counsel correctly if I'm in. 2025-06-17 17:19:02
Correct, but no formal correct. 2025-06-17 17:19:05
Accommodation required from this body, that is. 2025-06-17 17:19:08
Correct. And if the public knows anything? 2025-06-17 17:19:11
Vote would have to go through the Commission. 2025-06-17 17:19:14
I may do remote as well as the kind of council. 2025-06-17 17:19:17
That is correct, both of those bodies. 2025-06-17 17:19:20
Associated with that which would include. 2025-06-17 17:20:41
What would happen with assets and debts of? 2025-06-17 17:20:44
Umm and what plan is in? 2025-06-17 17:20:47
Exist for services that were provided. 2025-06-17 17:20:50
Not to say there has to be any plan. 2025-06-17 17:20:53
There, but even if that plan is for private citizens. 2025-06-17 17:20:56
To contract for their own services or. 2025-06-17 17:20:59
There's some plan for a hazardous waste type separate. 2025-06-17 17:21:02
Contract that's not under solid waste or whatever that plan may look. 2025-06-17 17:21:06
Like those are some different things were reported this evening so I'm throwing. 2025-06-17 17:21:09
Out there. So that final ordinance. 2025-06-17 17:21:11
To dissolve by the commissioners would include that plan. 2025-06-17 17:21:15
Right. And that's why I want to emphasize because of what? 2025-06-17 17:21:18
Other times it looks like these things are final actions, like. 2025-06-17 17:21:21
And hey, we're voting today or we're voting tomorrow, and that's it. 2025-06-17 17:21:24
If there's. 2025-06-17 17:21:27
At a minimum, you have a. 2025-06-17 17:21:30
80 days still to have public input. 2025-06-17 17:21:33
Commissioners meeting each council meeting because of the end. 2025-06-17 17:21:36
Each committee meeting we have. 2025-06-17 17:21:38
Or you might. 2025-06-17 17:21:39
Basically for any non agenda item. 2025-06-17 17:21:42
You can usually arrange to have. 2025-06-17 17:21:45
Coffee with one of us whenever you want to. 2025-06-17 17:21:48
Or council folks and. 2025-06-17 17:21:51
We're going to have multiple joint meetings between now and then. 2025-06-17 17:21:54
And during those 180 days? 2025-06-17 17:21:57
The boats could be. 2025-06-17 17:22:00
There could be changes in mind, changes of heart. 2025-06-17 17:22:03
Plans coming up. This is a time. 2025-06-17 17:22:06
To gather information, but so often it looks. 2025-06-17 17:22:09
Like this is a final vote and it's not. 2025-06-17 17:22:12
Many of these. 2025-06-17 17:22:15
Board and department. 2025-06-17 17:22:18
Have built within them a time frame where it takes time. 2025-06-17 17:22:21
Dissolve. Deconstruct from how? 2025-06-17 17:22:24
We want to do it, and that time is baked in there purposefully. 2025-06-17 17:22:27
So that it doesn't come before. 2025-06-17 17:22:30
Multiple times so. 2025-06-17 17:22:33
All right, so anyway, no. 2025-06-17 17:22:36
Required from this before the commissioners and then that's the time. 2025-06-17 17:22:39
That is correct. 2025-06-17 17:22:42
Alright, I'll open up. 2025-06-17 17:22:45
Public comment for any non agenda items of any blended. 2025-06-17 17:22:48
This is not agenda item for anyone who may. 2025-06-17 17:22:51
Have anything? Yes, ma'am. 2025-06-17 17:22:54
Calendar day is terrific calendar day. 2025-06-17 17:23:00
All right. 2025-06-17 17:23:06
We didn't vote on anything. 2025-06-17 17:23:18
I just want to say that I. 2025-06-17 17:23:27
Hope that we can have a. 2025-06-17 17:23:30
Joint meeting and talk about all. 2025-06-17 17:23:33
Of the budget is. 2025-06-17 17:23:36
It is a huge. 2025-06-17 17:23:42
And lots of pieces to it this year. 2025-06-17 17:23:45
And this is only one of the many. 2025-06-17 17:23:48
That needs to be talked about and put together. 2025-06-17 17:23:51
So I'm looking forward to doing. 2025-06-17 17:23:54
Having those discussions and maybe. 2025-06-17 17:23:57
Decisions based on facts. 2025-06-17 17:24:00
Our financial situation. 2025-06-17 17:24:03
Thank you. 2025-06-17 17:24:06
Anyone else? 2025-06-17 17:24:09
Take a motion to adjourn. OK, alright. 2025-06-17 17:24:12
I have some paperwork. 2025-06-17 17:24:18
In the shoulder on, that's what. Really. 2025-06-17 18:54:41
Led to his study, we had to think how. 2025-06-17 18:54:44
A few years ago in the area and the project. 2025-06-17 18:54:47
Area. 2025-06-17 18:54:50
What we're talking about is reducing lane with just a little. 2025-06-17 18:54:53
I think most people wouldn't even notice it. 2025-06-17 18:54:59
You'd be surprised. I mean, I'd love to see. 2025-06-17 18:55:02
Any data that that says that? 2025-06-17 18:55:05
Things down without an increase in. 2025-06-17 18:55:08
Significant accidents and particularly. 2025-06-17 18:55:11
If that was if that was the case, then traffic. 2025-06-17 18:55:14
Pretty slow throughout the county. 2025-06-17 18:55:17
To say my trip's down John ****** Rd. was. 2025-06-17 18:55:20
Conflict this analysis. So how much does it cost? 2025-06-17 18:55:23
I don't know. 2025-06-17 18:55:26
To implement to put a sidewalk in. 2025-06-17 18:55:29
Is there like a mile or cost or? 2025-06-17 18:55:32
How much does it cost 'cause that's the bottom line that. 2025-06-17 18:55:35
Everything, it's totally understood and and. 2025-06-17 18:55:38
Very valid question we did put together. 2025-06-17 18:55:41
Order of magnitude cost associated with this project. 2025-06-17 18:55:44
We've got it itemized in the appendices. 2025-06-17 18:55:47
Of the final document that give us a base. 2025-06-17 18:55:50
Of the of the cost now I will mention. 2025-06-17 18:55:53
There are some ancillary improvements that are going to have. 2025-06-17 18:55:56
We made we know this retaining wall in several areas is going to. 2025-06-17 18:55:59
Drainage improvements. 2025-06-17 18:56:02
Which are going to have to be addressed and that's for the reason. 2025-06-17 18:56:05
Don't have the ability to put a 12 foot path. 2025-06-17 18:56:08
Here that everybody would love to use. 2025-06-17 18:56:11
Their bikes on but order of magnitude cost. 2025-06-17 18:56:14
Put this at about $4 million for the state. 2025-06-17 18:56:17
And then about another 2 million together. 2025-06-17 18:56:23
So we're in the six. 2025-06-17 18:56:26
To $7,000,000 range for this project. 2025-06-17 18:56:29
Not insignificant if you. 2025-06-17 18:56:32
Down on a cough per foot? No, but. 2025-06-17 18:56:35
Sidewalk. That's fine. We're talking anywhere from. 2025-06-17 18:56:38
70 to $100 a foot. 2025-06-17 18:56:41
I'm pretty sure they did not have that much in rainy. 2025-06-17 18:56:44
Yeah, I, I think. 2025-06-17 18:56:47
One thing to note on that is. 2025-06-17 18:56:50
We would not necessarily pursue. 2025-06-17 18:56:53
Implementing this and that. 2025-06-17 18:56:56
That way it may be our when people come. 2025-06-17 18:56:59
Redevelop a lot, we have them. 2025-06-17 18:57:02
The sidewalk in in accordance to this point. 2025-06-17 18:57:05
Yeah. So that would cost us nothing. So the. 2025-06-17 18:57:08
This is just 7 year old. 2025-06-17 18:57:11
In what it could cause I can think of. 2025-06-17 18:57:14
Probably 8 or 10 people there. 2025-06-17 18:57:17
I know they live on that road that will. 2025-06-17 18:57:20
Court could take their property even if it's 20. 2025-06-17 18:57:23
Feet of their front yard so. 2025-06-17 18:57:26
OK, well. 2025-06-17 18:57:29
Any other questions? 2025-06-17 18:57:32
I just extend the comment share with. 2025-06-17 18:57:35
Rhode Island may. 2025-06-17 18:57:38
Yeah, OK. 2025-06-17 18:57:53
Well, tonight we are dealing with the acceptance of the. 2025-06-17 18:57:56
Study. So that's all I'm looking forward to. Motion to accept. 2025-06-17 18:57:59
For Luke, second all in favor. 2025-06-17 18:58:02
All right. Thank you. It looks sharp. 2025-06-17 18:58:05
Pass the hat around in a minute for uh. 2025-06-17 18:58:11
We have some new employee announcements. 2025-06-17 18:58:14
To make you know, we've been kind of reworking. 2025-06-17 18:58:17
Our organizational chart for the last several months. 2025-06-17 18:58:20
And so we did have someone. 2025-06-17 18:58:23
To take some of the that is starting. 2025-06-17 18:58:26
To take shape quite nicely so. 2025-06-17 18:58:29
I'll leave that to Frank for Part 1 and Jason for part. 2025-06-17 18:58:32
CS go OK. 2025-06-17 18:58:35
AB and C. 2025-06-17 18:58:38

We'll start with 5A, the county building triple met lead. 2025-06-17 19:00:12
Yes, that's with the bill. 2025-06-17 19:00:15
Authority. The building authority. 2025-06-17 19:00:18
Is an entity that was set up. 2025-06-17 19:00:21
For bonding purposes for the. 2025-06-17 19:00:24
City County building back when it was built back in 19. 2025-06-17 19:00:27
1958 or so. 2025-06-17 19:00:30
The building authority also took on additional responsibilities. 2025-06-17 19:00:33
Management of the building. 2025-06-17 19:00:35
We have took a. 2025-06-17 19:00:39
We've been the county with regards to. 2025-06-17 19:00:42
Taking over those management services and. 2025-06-17 19:00:45
And the Commissioners have decided. 2025-06-17 19:00:48
That they would like to do that this trip. 2025-06-17 19:00:51
When that lease provides that. 2025-06-17 19:00:54
Very thing and. 2025-06-17 19:00:57
And so in fact, a couple of the employees that you just announced. 2025-06-17 19:01:00
That you hired were part of the bill. 2025-06-17 19:01:03
Authority so. 2025-06-17 19:01:06
This formalizes that process. 2025-06-17 19:01:09
Offender is the president of the building. 2025-06-17 19:01:12
It's my understanding that this will be in front. 2025-06-17 19:01:15
Of your 29. 2025-06-17 19:01:18
From tonight. 2025-06-17 19:01:21
Yeah, momentarily. 2025-06-17 19:01:24
Yeah, I wanna make you free completely. 2025-06-17 19:01:27
Hang on a SEC though, Yes I want to. 2025-06-17 19:01:30
Acknowledge Mr. Fender's work recently. 2025-06-17 19:01:33
In the past several years on this along with every other person. 2025-06-17 19:01:36
Before he sat there since its inception and. 2025-06-17 19:01:39
Not only were they. 2025-06-17 19:01:42
For financing, but they also are factually the owners of. 2025-06-17 19:01:45
Building and will continue to be the owners of the building we're. 2025-06-17 19:01:48
Taking over management because we believe. 2025-06-17 19:01:51
And efficiencies with regards to that that aren't available right now? 2025-06-17 19:01:54
And not that you guys. 2025-06-17 19:01:57
Inefficient job. It's just that we're trying to kind. 2025-06-17 19:02:00
Put everything under one umbrella and we're really happy to have. 2025-06-17 19:02:03
Manage your hair taken out of responsibility. 2025-06-17 19:02:06
Continuing with the. 2025-06-17 19:02:09
Former soon to be former City County. 2025-06-17 19:02:12
We would also all of the buildings in the county support. 2025-06-17 19:02:15
So and we appreciate your quality. 2025-06-17 19:02:18
Operation with this over the last several months. 2025-06-17 19:02:21
Happen. I'll make this free. 2025-06-17 19:02:24
About seven years ago. 2025-06-17 19:02:27
Commissioner called me up and said I want you to fix the building authority. 2025-06-17 19:02:30
And I had no idea what that meant. 2025-06-17 19:02:33
So I said yes and. 2025-06-17 19:02:36
Frank was sheriff and he came up to me and said. 2025-06-17 19:02:39
It's one of the best days of my life you were on. 2025-06-17 19:02:42
And I knew I was. 2025-06-17 19:02:44
How about work? 2025-06-17 19:02:45
Look it out for me. So the committee. 2025-06-17 19:02:48
None of which you will hear. 2025-06-17 19:02:51
Were commissioners had neglected? 2025-06-17 19:02:54
Operation until it came up to damn near $1,000,000. 2025-06-17 19:02:57
Lawsuit between the building authority and the commissioners. 2025-06-17 19:03:00
Really hard to believe. It's hard for me to believe. 2025-06-17 19:03:03
I said I will never be a party to. 2025-06-17 19:03:06
Wasting the taxpayers money like that. 2025-06-17 19:03:09
I've always endeavored to leave things better than. 2025-06-17 19:03:12
I found them. I got into that job and I. 2025-06-17 19:03:15
I said, well it's a pretty low bar. 2025-06-17 19:03:18
So I work from that point in time to. 2025-06-17 19:03:21
To get a hold of management. 2025-06-17 19:03:24
Report to the Commissioners and condition of the building. Make recommend. 2025-06-17 19:03:27
And and I. 2025-06-17 19:03:30
Particularly, they have to see that Commissioners are. 2025-06-17 19:03:33
The county properties into one under 1. 2025-06-17 19:03:36
Management and I want to come in. 2025-06-17 19:03:39
Doctor. 2025-06-17 19:03:42
Doctor Fox on. 2025-06-17 19:03:45
Working with us to the extent that they did. 2025-06-17 19:03:48
Get this agreement for the betterment of the people. 2025-06-17 19:03:51
Accounting. So God's being your endeavor. 2025-06-17 19:03:54
I'm sure you'll do fine. 2025-06-17 19:03:57
Truly hope all blessed in better shape than I found it. 2025-06-17 19:04:00
And I'll still be the president. 2025-06-17 19:04:03
Such as it is, so if there's other. 2025-06-17 19:04:06
Bonding or whatever comes up, we're at your. 2025-06-17 19:04:09
All right, and just so people know you're now going to be staying busy with. 2025-06-17 19:04:12
The Highlander fire. 2025-06-17 19:04:15
Well, no. 2025-06-17 19:04:17
It says bank on Spring Street. 2025-06-17 19:22:10
That's going on. That's what we have her for, Chase senior. 2025-06-17 19:22:13
And the Chase Junior building on Grant Line. 2025-06-17 19:22:16
Which is going to house the new Floyd County Department. 2025-06-17 19:22:19
Is going to be the Floyd County Department. 2025-06-17 19:22:22
Health Human Services and Inspection center because of the. 2025-06-17 19:22:25
We're gonna have some accounting services housed on. 2025-06-17 19:22:28
2nd floor there as well. 2025-06-17 19:22:31
Signage going up. We were inspired by the sheriff. 2025-06-17 19:22:34
Signage and thought we needed to. 2025-06-17 19:22:37
Get on board with that. It's been in work for a long time. 2025-06-17 19:22:40
So we appreciate patience on the. 2025-06-17 19:22:43
At the Pineview Government Center will continue. 2025-06-17 19:22:46
Find new government center as well. 2025-06-17 19:22:49

OK. Do you have any? 2025-06-17 19:22:58
Yeah, also. 2025-06-17 19:23:01
The opioid committee I'm a part of. 2025-06-17 19:23:04
We met and produced that list for the commissioners. 2025-06-17 19:23:07
Today and then also. 2025-06-17 19:23:10
I spent some time with. 2025-06-17 19:23:13
The Council. 2025-06-17 19:23:16
Presentations from Baker Chili regarding. 2025-06-17 19:23:19
The impact analysis that we're going to have. 2025-06-17 19:23:22
1 I believe that. 2025-06-17 19:23:25
The Council took some documents for the committee. 2025-06-17 19:23:28
Measures to be able to have those that couldn't be. 2025-06-17 19:23:31
But I highly encourage everybody to look at that. I will say that. 2025-06-17 19:23:34
Umm, even our physical advisors at Bakersfield. 2025-06-17 19:23:37
They will tell you that they don't believe that their projection. 2025-06-17 19:23:40
Will be. 2025-06-17 19:23:43
Much more. 2025-06-17 19:23:43
Until we get to that point, maybe sometime in the summer. 2025-06-17 19:23:46
July, even in August, which? 2025-06-17 19:23:49
Kind of runs concurrent with, you know, budget time, so. 2025-06-17 19:23:52
That's all I have. 2025-06-17 19:23:55
Uh. 2025-06-17 19:23:58
Now I'm spending a lot of time at their. 2025-06-17 19:24:01
Trying to take care of county business, so that's expensive. 2025-06-17 19:24:07
Yeah, it is for the. 2025-06-17 19:24:10
A few Staffs are calling. 2025-06-17 19:24:16

Do have RFPs out like this? 2025-06-17 19:24:37

And these we LL. 2025-06-17 19:27:44
3 minutes as well. 2025-06-17 19:27:47
Sorry, my name is Rhonda Iglesias. 2025-06-17 19:27:50
And I'm proud to live in the city. 2025-06-17 19:27:53
I'm actually just outside. 2025-06-17 19:27:56
Limit right before you go out most. 2025-06-17 19:27:59
And there's a couple of things that I wanted. 2025-06-17 19:28:02
To ask one when you are now. 2025-06-17 19:28:05
I'm all about solutions, so when? 2025-06-17 19:28:08
Talk about the disposal, you know. 2025-06-17 19:28:11
Of ways for the recycling. 2025-06-17 19:28:14
If you need a volunteer to help you. 2025-06-17 19:28:17
Do some research or give public. 2025-06-17 19:28:20
Or comment or do whatever I'm all for. 2025-06-17 19:28:23
Because I have been recycling for like 25 years. 2025-06-17 19:28:26
And I want to make the world better for my grandkids. 2025-06-17 19:28:29
So that was my first comment, my second one. 2025-06-17 19:28:32
One is. I have tried very hard. 2025-06-17 19:28:35
Try to figure out how our Rd. 2025-06-17 19:28:38
Code is labeled as a private. 2025-06-17 19:28:41
There's like 7 people up there and actually some. 2025-06-17 19:28:44
