With liberty and justice for all. 00:00:11
If you have a cell phone, if you'll please put that to silence for the duration of the meeting. 00:00:15
And we'll begin with just a. 00:00:20
Short moment of silence for individual thought. 00:00:24
Reflection, prayer, and we'll get. 00:00:27
Ready for tonight's meeting? 00:00:28

Motion to 2nd. 00:01:22
OK, all in favor, aye? 00:01:25
I and we'll get into the details on that when we get to that. So we'll open up with bid openings for the county highway general 00:01:28
supply issues. We have a stack here. Do we have anyone who would like to submit bids this evening? 00:01:34
All right, see, no one will proceed. 00:01:41
All right. 00:01:45
The first one is a. 00:01:48
There's a small envelope here, but. 00:01:49
Shelby County Co-op. 00:01:53
The only thing that says is for LP gas. 00:02:22
179 or lower, there's no. 00:02:25
Other information. 00:02:27
On this at all? OK Shelby County Co-op $1.79 or lower for LP gas and they have some additional items. 00:02:29
Itemized here so we'll. 00:02:37
Keep all that information together. 00:02:40
The second is from IM. 00:02:45
And there's a total of three packages from IMI. 00:02:48
It's. 00:03:30
Multiple prices for. 00:03:32
RIP rap Stone. 00:03:36
Looking. 00:03:38
Total price, I don't see any. Do I need to go through everyone of these individual, they may not have a total price because? 00:03:39
Depending on which item, bid package or bidding on, they're going to have various materials. OK. 00:03:46
So. 00:03:51
What do you want me to do with this? Just would just keep it OK and we'll. 00:03:52
Pair that with any other bids that came out on the same items. OK, Yeah, this is IMI Part 1 and they have itemized various bids, 00:03:56
but no total. 00:04:00
This looks to be the same. 00:04:11
Is that Part 2? 00:04:18
This is Part 2. 00:04:19
Saying I am I am I. 00:04:20
And #3 it's the same thing, just various materials at different rates. 00:04:44
OK. The next one is IDs Indiana Drainage Solutions, LLC. 00:04:53
I think I need a Bowie knife. 00:05:11
I don't trust you with that. 00:05:15
Not allowed in the building. Pretty fair. 00:05:17
This is the same, just. 00:05:24
Multiple, uh. 00:05:26
Materials. 00:05:27

What the measurement? 00:06:30
They use for his but. 00:06:31
HMA Intermediate Type B 19mm is 48. 00:06:34
An HMA surface type B 9.5mm at 55. 00:06:38
You get it. 00:06:46
That's fine. 00:06:49
The next one is from Jacobi Oil Service. 00:07:02
And it's for gasoline, 87 octane. 00:07:07
It's very difficult to read. 00:07:14
Looks like. 00:07:16
221. 00:07:18
A gallon at a. 00:07:20
10,000 gallons. 00:07:22

So on, so forth and. 00:11:03
Prismatic. 00:11:09
White, yellow, Orange, blue-green. 00:11:10
Multiple prices and there's also a check in here. 00:11:12
For the ball, for the yeah. 00:11:17
Yeah, let's make sure that's clear. 00:11:20
Does not have my name on it. 00:11:23
No. 00:11:25
And there's one final from. 00:11:31
Civil Con. 00:11:33
And this is everything from culverts, accessories, aluminum box culverts. 00:12:04
Aluminum plate. 00:12:09
Still multi plate plastic liners, multitude of different things and no. 00:12:11
Multiple different prices on such for culverts and. 00:12:16
So on. 00:12:19
All right. No other bids pertaining to. 00:12:23
County highway general supply correct? 00:12:26
No, we have one more. 00:12:28
OK, Well, it's for a motion to take these under advisement. 00:12:30
2nd. 00:12:36
All in favor. 00:12:38
All right, item two, we have bid openings for household hazards waste. 00:12:41
Yes, we have one. 00:12:46
At the desk. Do we have anyone else this evening that would like to submit a bid on that issue? 00:12:48
All right, So this is from Caldwell Environmental. 00:12:55
There's a thumb drive. 00:13:11
It's just a breakdown. 00:13:33
On fluorescent lamps, herbicide, pesticides, aerosols, lamp oils, household cleaners, spray paints, oil. 00:13:36
At different prices. 00:13:43
You need to. 00:13:46
Is there a total quote like per month, per year, per? 00:13:47
I have not found that yet. 00:13:51
That's price per gallon on. 00:13:52
Yes. 00:13:56
OK. 00:13:56
Oh, here we go. 00:13:59
Uh. 00:14:03
Well, I don't think that's. 00:14:06
I don't think it's a quote, I think it's just that. 00:14:11
It's an estimate. It says expected cost of Floyd County per year be $46,900. 00:14:14
You got duplicates and there's a thumb drive in there as well. 00:14:23
That's it. 00:14:28
All right. 00:14:38
Take that under advisement as well. So moved. 00:14:40
Second all in favor, aye. 00:14:42
All right, Item 3 was tabled. Item 4, County Auditor Diana Topping. 00:14:46
Five different. 00:14:53
Pieces tonight, correct? 00:14:54
Yes. 00:14:56
4A is at Floyd County Ordinance 2025-28. 00:15:01
Establishing grant application policy and procedures for the county. 00:15:05
As the Commissioners are aware. 00:15:10
Something that our county has had. 00:15:12
Challenges with over the years is. 00:15:14
Gathering all of the great information to fill out our SEFA. 00:15:17
Annually, which is our schedule of expenditures federal awards. 00:15:20
Part of our corrective action plan that was accepted with the state this year was to establish an ordinance and policy and 00:15:24
procedures. 00:15:28
To streamline and filter. 00:15:32
Grant applications through both the commissioners and auditor's office as a kind of notification process with a form. 00:15:34
That includes all of the information that my office will require for filling out the SEPA annually. 00:15:42
This is something that. 00:15:48
I think we've kind of had conversations about over the last couple years, we knew that it was something that needed to happen. 00:15:50
The share we. 00:15:55
We're given a. 00:15:56
A timeline to meet that so. 00:15:57
I worked with Mr. Fox on this. 00:16:00
And and he's, as always, was a delight to work with. 00:16:04
So, umm. 00:16:08
Do you have any questions or concerns? We do intend to have a few. 00:16:10
Meetings with department heads to go over. 00:16:14
The new ordinance itself. 00:16:17
The form itself. 00:16:18
And what's expected as far as? 00:16:20
A few additional steps now when they're writing their grants so. 00:16:22
I just become effective immediately or January 1 is our intent. 00:16:26
OK, I have no. 00:16:32
Questions or comments? 00:16:34
All right, Well, I'll make a motion to approve with unanimous consent, Floyd County Ordinance 2025-28 establishing grant 00:16:36
application policy and procedures. 00:16:41
I'll second that. 00:16:47
All right, all in favor. 00:16:48
At 4B. 00:16:53
Honestly this happened back in September and. 00:16:56
Mr. Sharp was a participant in and after participant in this we he missed the meeting, but we we went over it afterwards with the. 00:17:00
I tried to send out an e-mail every time our board needs to go over what was discussed, what was approved, the wise so that we're 00:17:09
all on the same page. 00:17:13
But in amongst all of the budgetary. 00:17:17
Challenges. 00:17:19
That were happening this. 00:17:21
Fell off of my plate and I found it on the floor. 00:17:22
So. 00:17:25
We did approve. 00:17:27
A renewal of two programs that NAPD utilizes. 00:17:29
And serves the surrounding counties with we discovered that the department that utilizes it. 00:17:34
Is 90% funded through grants and other. 00:17:40
Agencies. 00:17:44
So they they've built an excellent resource for the surrounding area and Flood County itself. 00:17:46
But it is heavily, heavily reliant on not their own budget. 00:17:51
We did make a. 00:17:56
Very clear caveat. 00:17:58
To both this department and within our board that this is the only time we'll be processing a renewal. 00:17:59
For this service we did the initial outlay for it. It has been. 00:18:06
Incredibly useful. 00:18:11
So that is the only reason that we allowed a renewal and it was kind of a. 00:18:14
If we don't renew it, we don't have it type of thing, but they've been told that even if we. 00:18:19
Face the situation next year. It's. 00:18:24
Not going to be renewed by our board. 00:18:26
So because our board is primarily for outlay, not for maintenance. 00:18:29
OK. So that was the question, OK. 00:18:34
We'll help you get it. 00:18:37
But to maintain it afterwards, it's going to be up to you. 00:18:38
Because usually the outlay is much more expensive than the. 00:18:41
Maintenance itself. 00:18:44
OK. 00:18:48
The the programs in question are celebrating Great Peak. 00:18:51
And they they do electronic brakings. 00:18:55
In readings of. 00:18:58
Phones and computers and. 00:19:00
So it's very helpful in investigations. 00:19:02
OK. So we just need an acceptance of this like we would any other contract renewal, correct? 00:19:04
It's really just an acceptance of the the opioid board approving this. 00:19:09
At this point, so yeah. 00:19:13
They did or. 00:19:15
Yeah, we're waiting, OK. 00:19:15
And that's where the money's coming from. 00:19:18
The money is coming from the unrestricted fund that the opioid oversight committee overseas, Yes, and that's for both celibate and 00:19:20
Magnet. 00:19:23
That's correct. 00:19:27
Make a motion to approve. 00:19:29
A second. OK. 00:19:31
All in favor, aye aye. 00:19:33
Thank you. 00:19:36
The next one is something that is weird and not fun at all. 00:19:38
So AC. 00:19:42
See, that has changed three times in the last two years as far as receipt and distribution processes, and the state has once 00:19:44
again. 00:19:48
Decided that they're going to change it. So the way that see bit works right now is we get a. 00:19:52
Biannual distribution from the state. 00:19:57
And the local government does a calculation on. 00:20:00
Where it goes and which funds it goes into those entities? 00:20:04
That has changed as of July 1st, so the fall distribution of civet. 00:20:08
While still going to different entities. 00:20:13
The auditor's office is no longer responsible for dictating where it goes as far as those funds are concerned for those different 00:20:16
entities, so we're not going to specify. 00:20:20
Hume, Bridge or. 00:20:24
Human fire or general fund or any of those things because. 00:20:26
The counties, so the the localities administrators and then of course the counties administrators get to select. 00:20:30
What funds to receive? 00:20:37
Their CVET distribution into. 00:20:39
So how that affects us as a county is that we do get almost $20,000 and see if it twice a year. 00:20:42
And right now it is divvied up between multiple funds. 00:20:48
The state has state said that if it is going to go into the general fund decision. 00:20:53
Made by the commissioners that no vote needs to be taken and it just has to be designated to the general fund. 00:20:58
If it is going to go anywhere else or be broken up in any way. 00:21:03
A vote does have to be taken specifying the amount and the funds. 00:21:07
This is brand new. 00:21:14
And this is the first time that we were having to address it. 00:21:16
So basically. 00:21:19
As the administrative body of Floyd County, it is your decision. 00:21:21
As to where? 00:21:25
See that gets receded into. 00:21:26
And if you pick anywhere other than the general fund, you have to specify the amount and the fund and take a vote. 00:21:29
So the paper you gave us. 00:21:36
This Form 22, that was for June and that dictated where it went in June. It's just the same amount. It's the same amount. 00:21:38
OK. 00:21:46
You have any ideas where you? 00:21:50
I don't know. 00:21:56
Stan. 00:21:56
Yeah. 00:22:00
I'll always have a thought. This is a commercial vehicle excise tax, so. 00:22:05
I believer that the. 00:22:10
Funding sources should revert back to where the majority of the expenses are incurred. 00:22:12
Potentially, in this case, probably the road department. 00:22:19
That would be a perfect landing spot, more so than getting commingled. 00:22:22
County General. 00:22:27
Grand total of a different. 00:22:28
A variety of different funding sources. 00:22:30
That or MBH site. Either one of those would be I think would be a significant landing spot for the. 00:22:34
Seabed Pines, so. 00:22:41
Well, the local fund number. 00:22:43
In your recommendation. 00:22:45
#5 is. 00:22:47
How county highway number. 00:22:49
6 is local road and St. Neither one of them had any money in it. 00:22:52
From June. 00:22:56
Doesn't make much sense why that's never been designated to the highway department. 00:22:58
And I don't disagree with you, I'm just looking for where to. 00:23:03
Where is that? 00:23:06
On this list. 00:23:07
It's never been distributed to it. 00:23:09
And that's determined by the state. 00:23:11
So the funds that it got distributed to? 00:23:13
Were determined by the state. 00:23:15
But now the Commissioners have a say in it. 00:23:17
The only person who has a say in it is the commissioners at this point. No one else has a say in this. 00:23:20
But this June, when they're looking at is from what the state had. 00:23:24
Previously, right. I'm just looking on Stan's recommendation. 00:23:27
Five and six, Would I go to 5 or 6? 00:23:33
Have you seen that? 00:23:36
Five being 5 is county highway. 00:23:39
And six is local road and St. County. 00:23:43
Either one. I think either one of those would be. 00:23:47
Significant work. We're facing some challenges in 1176. The unrestricted MVH. 00:23:51
Fund in 2026, so it. 00:23:57
It would certainly help. 00:24:00
For a Floyd cast. 00:24:02
What's the total coming? 00:24:03
19 so it's a duplicate of this and what's the deadline for which we. 00:24:06
This needs to be determined. 00:24:10
No later than the 31st of this year or the 29th, I think is our last day of business. So we can make a decision on the 16th. 00:24:14
OK, I'm going to recommend we table this and discuss them. 00:24:20
OK, I'll look for a motion to table that element until. 00:24:24
Next week. OK, still moved. 00:24:28
Second. OK. All in favor. Aye, aye. All right. OK. I'm good with that. 00:24:30
So put this on. 00:24:36
Squarely on the agenda for December with. 00:24:42
Excellent. 00:24:46
The next two. 00:24:47
4D and E. 00:24:48
Our new funds being generated by new employee benefits that the commissioners approved. 00:24:50
So you have FCO 2025-29 establishing Fund 5221. 00:24:57
For NASA emergent care and then you have FCO 2025-30 establishing Fund 5222 Employee Assistance program. 00:25:03
So these are basically in outs. 00:25:11
They're deducted from the employee. 00:25:13
Income from their pay and put in here and then paid out to the entities that service these programs. 00:25:17
But we do have to have them. 00:25:24
Right. So there's no external source of funding on this, correct? 00:25:25
OK. All right. So I'll look for a motion separately for. 00:25:28
Passage by unanimous. 00:25:34
Unanimous consent for FCO Dash 202529 first. 00:25:36
So moved. 00:25:40
Second all in favor, aye. 00:25:41
And then the same for FCO 2025-30. 00:25:44
So moved. 00:25:48
2nd. 00:25:49
All in favor, aye? 00:25:50
Thank you very much. 00:25:53
So the item that was added. 00:25:55
Stan, if you don't mind joining us again is for this. 00:25:58
Quote to be. 00:26:02
Discussed for acceptance from BEC Brown Equipment Company. 00:26:04
For multiple pieces of equipment for the highway department. 00:26:09
And the annotation of what we're going to be purchasing we. 00:26:14
Pardon the public record after tonight's meeting, so. 00:26:18
And we have. 00:26:22
Determined mechanism for payment correct. 00:26:25
No Sir, this is just a quote to actually, I mean we, we have a plan for payment if the quote is accepted moving forward. 00:26:27
If Go Bond isn't accepted. 00:26:36
No, if the GO bond is accepted, it is part of that's going to be used for the first year. 00:26:37
Yes, installment for payment, that's correct. Yes, Sir. 00:26:42
Just for the record. 00:26:47
We're not accepting something that we don't have. 00:26:48
A plan for payment on as far as. 00:26:51
I think that needs to be contingent part of. 00:26:54
The discussion tonight, if we accept the quote then it needs to be contingent upon the closing of the go bonds that we can always 00:26:56
cover the 1st. 00:26:59
This year's payment on this correct so. 00:27:02
I don't know if it's worth itemizing what we're. 00:27:06
Talking about here for the public, I think it. 00:27:09
Might as well in the name of transparency is what? 00:27:11
We're looking to purchase for the road department. 00:27:14
The details will be part of the public record. 00:27:16
After tonight if you just want to go over the items of equipment. 00:27:19
OK. But the first time being a multi-purpose tractor? 00:27:22
And then a variety of pieces of equipment that could be attached to that. 00:27:26
Um, let's see. 00:27:31
The second is a. 00:27:40
Aspen 7. 00:27:42
Past seven? Boom. 00:27:44
Don't have a rotating cutting head? 00:27:46
Or. 00:27:48
Backups here. 00:27:53
Back up. Yeah. 00:27:54
I can probably explain this just a little better than staying again. 00:27:56
And the piece of equipment we're talking about purchasing? 00:28:01
Like as he said stated initially. 00:28:04
Is there's two multi-purpose tractors in here? 00:28:06
One, a larger one and a smaller one. 00:28:10
Because we don't need two of the larger ones. 00:28:12
That are in this. 00:28:14
And they? 00:28:15
Have both will have a Rotary motor on them. 00:28:17
I don't know if you all understand what a boom mower is that we use now. 00:28:19
It'll have a Rotary mower just like that. 00:28:22
And then we have additional pieces of equipment that can be attached to either machine. 00:28:25
To do various other projects you grapple. 00:28:28
A bar cutter. 00:28:31
Which instead of going down through the boom or just mangling up somebody's trees. 00:28:35
It actually cuts them off nice and plain. 00:28:38
Also cuts the overhead. 00:28:40
Which is an issue that we have been having this year. 00:28:42
With overhead. 00:28:45
One of the other items in here is a leaf collector. 00:28:47
And I think I mixed. I don't know if you all read the explanation for this. 00:28:51
We're picking up all these safe subdivisions. 00:28:54
That are ending, a lot of more maturing now so the leaves are there. 00:28:56
We're stopping up our storm drainages. 00:29:00
With this, we can let the the citizens know, hey, if you'll get them to the curb. 00:29:02
We'll pick him up. 00:29:07
It keeps them out of our form drainage. We can let stormwater pay for that, right? 00:29:08
I'm all for it. 00:29:13
Call 4. 00:29:16
Oh, our next one is a new hot box. It's a hot box dump truck. What what we have now? 00:29:17
Is very outdated. 00:29:24
Let's just we'll leave it that. 00:29:26
We're long. 00:29:28
You have to shovel it out with a shovel. 00:29:30
Well, this particular unit. 00:29:32
If we have a large patch. 00:29:34
We can actually dump with it. 00:29:35
Number one. Number two, if we have. 00:29:37
Material in it today to paddle with. Let's say we buy 3 tons. 00:29:40
At the end of the day, we got a ton and a half left. 00:29:44
Instead of dumping that on the ground and wasting it. 00:29:46
This machine here can be plugged into the wall. 00:29:48
It'll keep it warm until tomorrow. 00:29:51
We kicked the burners back on right back to using it. 00:29:52
It's going to save money in that area. 00:29:55
The large patches that. 00:29:58
Now we end up with this in it. 00:30:00
Because we're shoveling it out. Shoveling it out. 00:30:02
We can actually dump it, spread it out. 00:30:04
What was next to this pod? 00:30:11
The next one is a mastic machine. I don't know if either wanted. 00:30:16
Or the public is it dealt with master right now? And I know some more of those bids all read. 00:30:20
They talk about cold patch. 00:30:25
Which is nothing more than I'm gonna fill a hole today, and tomorrow we'll fill it again. 00:30:27
It does stay. 00:30:31
It's it's almost to me, it's a waste of money. 00:30:32
With this mastic unit, we can go out there in the middle of the winter. 00:30:35
Or something that's heated. 00:30:38
Clean the the pothole. 00:30:40
Let's attack now put this in it. 00:30:42
Tomorrow's hardest concrete. 00:30:43
And I know this because I've I've actually witnessed this unit in action. 00:30:45
It's a very good unit. 00:30:49
Now when you go out, fix pothole in the winter time. 00:30:51
It's there. You're not going back. 00:30:54
Every three or four days to fix that same bottle. 00:30:56
Very useful for the citizens, because we know. 00:30:59
Like this with a little weather event we had, Now it's going to create bottles. 00:31:02
It is what it is. 00:31:06
And the last but not least. 00:31:08
Is a sweeper. 00:31:10
As of right now, we have no sweeper. 00:31:12
What we use is a sweeper on a broom. 00:31:14
That when we use them in these subdivisions, we're either turn up. 00:31:17
Or turn up a piece of equipment. Or turn up the asphalt. It's not made for that. 00:31:22
With this particular unit and it's a used unit. 00:31:26
It's a mechanical units, not a vacuum unit. 00:31:30
Which is. 00:31:32
A plus for us. 00:31:33
Because the maintenance issues. 00:31:34
But with that unit, we can keep these subdivisions like they're supposed to be. 00:31:36
Not only the the new subdivisions, but some of the older subdivisions. 00:31:40
When we get called out to clean rock mud out of the. 00:31:45
Road was washed out from the rain storm, sure. 00:31:48
Very, very, very much needed equipment. 00:31:53
That's the that's the best time. 00:31:56
Any question? 00:31:59
Though we'd heard it before and I just it's a public record and public's paying for it. So when some of this information to start 00:32:01
getting out there, then there's going to be a lot more of it. 00:32:05
You know, uh. 00:32:09
To come forward and I hope his will. 00:32:10
Itemize all this for people to be able to look at and see what their. 00:32:13
They're purchasing. 00:32:17
You know, one of the things that we tasked you with when you came on board was doing an inventory of. 00:32:19
Equipment. Umm. 00:32:24
And personnel. 00:32:25
So I mean, I commend you on. 00:32:27
Coming up with a program for getting rid of some of the outdated equipment and and. 00:32:31
Working with us to help put in a program for ongoing replacement rather than. 00:32:35
Once every 10 years finding ourselves. 00:32:40
Woefully behind the 8 ball. 00:32:42
So I appreciate that. 00:32:44
We'll try to make this this work, I said. But. 00:32:47
It'll be contingent upon police. 00:32:50
The GO Bonds passage so that we can have the first year's payment. 00:32:52
Taken care of. 00:32:57
And while you're up here, I want to commend you on a great job this morning. I know I speak for. 00:32:58

Looking. 00:03:38

Depending on which item, bid package or bidding on, they're going to have various materials. OK. 00:03:46
So. 00:03:51
What do you want me to do with this? Just would just keep it OK and we'll. 00:03:52
Pair that with any other bids that came out on the same items. OK, Yeah, this is IMI Part 1 and they have itemized various bids, 00:03:56
but no total. 00:04:00
This looks to be the same. 00:04:11
Is that Part 2? 00:04:18
This is Part 2. 00:04:19
Saying I am I am I. 00:04:20
And #3 it's the same thing, just various materials at different rates. 00:04:44

Not allowed in the building. Pretty fair. 00:05:17
This is the same, just. 00:05:24

Aluminum plate. 00:12:09
Still multi plate plastic liners, multitude of different things and no. 00:12:11
Multiple different prices on such for culverts and. 00:12:16
So on. 00:12:19
All right. No other bids pertaining to. 00:12:23
County highway general supply correct? 00:12:26
No, we have one more. 00:12:28
OK, Well, it's for a motion to take these under advisement. 00:12:30
2nd. 00:12:36
All in favor. 00:12:38
All right, item two, we have bid openings for household hazards waste. 00:12:41
Yes, we have one. 00:12:46
At the desk. Do we have anyone else this evening that would like to submit a bid on that issue? 00:12:48
All right, So this is from Caldwell Environmental. 00:12:55
There's a thumb drive. 00:13:11
It's just a breakdown. 00:13:33
On fluorescent lamps, herbicide, pesticides, aerosols, lamp oils, household cleaners, spray paints, oil. 00:13:36
At different prices. 00:13:43
You need to. 00:13:46

That's price per gallon on. 00:13:52
Yes. 00:13:56
OK. 00:13:56
Oh, here we go. 00:13:59
Uh. 00:14:03
Well, I don't think that's. 00:14:06
I don't think it's a quote, I think it's just that. 00:14:11
It's an estimate. It says expected cost of Floyd County per year be $46,900. 00:14:14
You got duplicates and there's a thumb drive in there as well. 00:14:23
That's it. 00:14:28
All right. 00:14:38
Take that under advisement as well. So moved. 00:14:40
Second all in favor, aye. 00:14:42
All right, Item 3 was tabled. Item 4, County Auditor Diana Topping. 00:14:46
Five different. 00:14:53
Pieces tonight, correct? 00:14:54
Yes. 00:14:56
4A is at Floyd County Ordinance 2025-28. 00:15:01
Establishing grant application policy and procedures for the county. 00:15:05
As the Commissioners are aware. 00:15:10
Something that our county has had. 00:15:12
Challenges with over the years is. 00:15:14
Gathering all of the great information to fill out our SEFA. 00:15:17
Annually, which is our schedule of expenditures federal awards. 00:15:20
Part of our corrective action plan that was accepted with the state this year was to establish an ordinance and policy and 00:15:24
procedures. 00:15:28
To streamline and filter. 00:15:32
Grant applications through both the commissioners and auditor's office as a kind of notification process with a form. 00:15:34
That includes all of the information that my office will require for filling out the SEPA annually. 00:15:42
This is something that. 00:15:48
I think we've kind of had conversations about over the last couple years, we knew that it was something that needed to happen. 00:15:50
The share we. 00:15:55
We're given a. 00:15:56
A timeline to meet that so. 00:15:57
I worked with Mr. Fox on this. 00:16:00
And and he's, as always, was a delight to work with. 00:16:04
So, umm. 00:16:08
Do you have any questions or concerns? We do intend to have a few. 00:16:10
Meetings with department heads to go over. 00:16:14
The new ordinance itself. 00:16:17
The form itself. 00:16:18
And what's expected as far as? 00:16:20
A few additional steps now when they're writing their grants so. 00:16:22
I just become effective immediately or January 1 is our intent. 00:16:26
OK, I have no. 00:16:32
Questions or comments? 00:16:34
All right, Well, I'll make a motion to approve with unanimous consent, Floyd County Ordinance 2025-28 establishing grant 00:16:36
application policy and procedures. 00:16:41
I'll second that. 00:16:47
All right, all in favor. 00:16:48
At 4B. 00:16:53
Honestly this happened back in September and. 00:16:56
Mr. Sharp was a participant in and after participant in this we he missed the meeting, but we we went over it afterwards with the. 00:17:00
I tried to send out an e-mail every time our board needs to go over what was discussed, what was approved, the wise so that we're 00:17:09
all on the same page. 00:17:13
But in amongst all of the budgetary. 00:17:17
Challenges. 00:17:19
That were happening this. 00:17:21
Fell off of my plate and I found it on the floor. 00:17:22
So. 00:17:25
We did approve. 00:17:27
A renewal of two programs that NAPD utilizes. 00:17:29
And serves the surrounding counties with we discovered that the department that utilizes it. 00:17:34
Is 90% funded through grants and other. 00:17:40
Agencies. 00:17:44
So they they've built an excellent resource for the surrounding area and Flood County itself. 00:17:46
But it is heavily, heavily reliant on not their own budget. 00:17:51
We did make a. 00:17:56
Very clear caveat. 00:17:58
To both this department and within our board that this is the only time we'll be processing a renewal. 00:17:59
For this service we did the initial outlay for it. It has been. 00:18:06
Incredibly useful. 00:18:11
So that is the only reason that we allowed a renewal and it was kind of a. 00:18:14
If we don't renew it, we don't have it type of thing, but they've been told that even if we. 00:18:19
Face the situation next year. It's. 00:18:24
Not going to be renewed by our board. 00:18:26
So because our board is primarily for outlay, not for maintenance. 00:18:29
OK. So that was the question, OK. 00:18:34
We'll help you get it. 00:18:37
But to maintain it afterwards, it's going to be up to you. 00:18:38
Because usually the outlay is much more expensive than the. 00:18:41
Maintenance itself. 00:18:44
OK. 00:18:48
The the programs in question are celebrating Great Peak. 00:18:51
And they they do electronic brakings. 00:18:55
In readings of. 00:18:58
Phones and computers and. 00:19:00
So it's very helpful in investigations. 00:19:02
OK. So we just need an acceptance of this like we would any other contract renewal, correct? 00:19:04
It's really just an acceptance of the the opioid board approving this. 00:19:09
At this point, so yeah. 00:19:13
They did or. 00:19:15
Yeah, we're waiting, OK. 00:19:15
And that's where the money's coming from. 00:19:18
The money is coming from the unrestricted fund that the opioid oversight committee overseas, Yes, and that's for both celibate and 00:19:20
Magnet. 00:19:23
That's correct. 00:19:27
Make a motion to approve. 00:19:29
A second. OK. 00:19:31
All in favor, aye aye. 00:19:33
Thank you. 00:19:36
The next one is something that is weird and not fun at all. 00:19:38
So AC. 00:19:42
See, that has changed three times in the last two years as far as receipt and distribution processes, and the state has once 00:19:44
again. 00:19:48
Decided that they're going to change it. So the way that see bit works right now is we get a. 00:19:52
Biannual distribution from the state. 00:19:57
And the local government does a calculation on. 00:20:00
Where it goes and which funds it goes into those entities? 00:20:04
That has changed as of July 1st, so the fall distribution of civet. 00:20:08
While still going to different entities. 00:20:13
The auditor's office is no longer responsible for dictating where it goes as far as those funds are concerned for those different 00:20:16
entities, so we're not going to specify. 00:20:20
Hume, Bridge or. 00:20:24
Human fire or general fund or any of those things because. 00:20:26
The counties, so the the localities administrators and then of course the counties administrators get to select. 00:20:30
What funds to receive? 00:20:37
Their CVET distribution into. 00:20:39
So how that affects us as a county is that we do get almost $20,000 and see if it twice a year. 00:20:42
And right now it is divvied up between multiple funds. 00:20:48
The state has state said that if it is going to go into the general fund decision. 00:20:53
Made by the commissioners that no vote needs to be taken and it just has to be designated to the general fund. 00:20:58
If it is going to go anywhere else or be broken up in any way. 00:21:03
A vote does have to be taken specifying the amount and the funds. 00:21:07
This is brand new. 00:21:14
And this is the first time that we were having to address it. 00:21:16
So basically. 00:21:19
As the administrative body of Floyd County, it is your decision. 00:21:21
As to where? 00:21:25
See that gets receded into. 00:21:26
And if you pick anywhere other than the general fund, you have to specify the amount and the fund and take a vote. 00:21:29
So the paper you gave us. 00:21:36
This Form 22, that was for June and that dictated where it went in June. It's just the same amount. It's the same amount. 00:21:38
OK. 00:21:46
You have any ideas where you? 00:21:50
I don't know. 00:21:56
Stan. 00:21:56
Yeah. 00:22:00
I'll always have a thought. This is a commercial vehicle excise tax, so. 00:22:05
I believer that the. 00:22:10
Funding sources should revert back to where the majority of the expenses are incurred. 00:22:12
Potentially, in this case, probably the road department. 00:22:19
That would be a perfect landing spot, more so than getting commingled. 00:22:22
County General. 00:22:27
Grand total of a different. 00:22:28
A variety of different funding sources. 00:22:30
That or MBH site. Either one of those would be I think would be a significant landing spot for the. 00:22:34
Seabed Pines, so. 00:22:41
Well, the local fund number. 00:22:43
In your recommendation. 00:22:45
#5 is. 00:22:47
How county highway number. 00:22:49
6 is local road and St. Neither one of them had any money in it. 00:22:52
From June. 00:22:56
Doesn't make much sense why that's never been designated to the highway department. 00:22:58
And I don't disagree with you, I'm just looking for where to. 00:23:03
Where is that? 00:23:06
On this list. 00:23:07
It's never been distributed to it. 00:23:09
And that's determined by the state. 00:23:11
So the funds that it got distributed to? 00:23:13
Were determined by the state. 00:23:15
But now the Commissioners have a say in it. 00:23:17
The only person who has a say in it is the commissioners at this point. No one else has a say in this. 00:23:20
But this June, when they're looking at is from what the state had. 00:23:24
Previously, right. I'm just looking on Stan's recommendation. 00:23:27
Five and six, Would I go to 5 or 6? 00:23:33
Have you seen that? 00:23:36
Five being 5 is county highway. 00:23:39
And six is local road and St. County. 00:23:43
Either one. I think either one of those would be. 00:23:47
Significant work. We're facing some challenges in 1176. The unrestricted MVH. 00:23:51
Fund in 2026, so it. 00:23:57
It would certainly help. 00:24:00
For a Floyd cast. 00:24:02
What's the total coming? 00:24:03
19 so it's a duplicate of this and what's the deadline for which we. 00:24:06
This needs to be determined. 00:24:10
No later than the 31st of this year or the 29th, I think is our last day of business. So we can make a decision on the 16th. 00:24:14
OK, I'm going to recommend we table this and discuss them. 00:24:20
OK, I'll look for a motion to table that element until. 00:24:24
Next week. OK, still moved. 00:24:28
Second. OK. All in favor. Aye, aye. All right. OK. I'm good with that. 00:24:30
So put this on. 00:24:36
Squarely on the agenda for December with. 00:24:42
Excellent. 00:24:46
The next two. 00:24:47
4D and E. 00:24:48
Our new funds being generated by new employee benefits that the commissioners approved. 00:24:50
So you have FCO 2025-29 establishing Fund 5221. 00:24:57
For NASA emergent care and then you have FCO 2025-30 establishing Fund 5222 Employee Assistance program. 00:25:03
So these are basically in outs. 00:25:11
They're deducted from the employee. 00:25:13
Income from their pay and put in here and then paid out to the entities that service these programs. 00:25:17
But we do have to have them. 00:25:24
Right. So there's no external source of funding on this, correct? 00:25:25
OK. All right. So I'll look for a motion separately for. 00:25:28
Passage by unanimous. 00:25:34
Unanimous consent for FCO Dash 202529 first. 00:25:36
So moved. 00:25:40
Second all in favor, aye. 00:25:41
And then the same for FCO 2025-30. 00:25:44
So moved. 00:25:48
2nd. 00:25:49
All in favor, aye? 00:25:50
Thank you very much. 00:25:53
So the item that was added. 00:25:55
Stan, if you don't mind joining us again is for this. 00:25:58
Quote to be. 00:26:02
Discussed for acceptance from BEC Brown Equipment Company. 00:26:04
For multiple pieces of equipment for the highway department. 00:26:09
And the annotation of what we're going to be purchasing we. 00:26:14
Pardon the public record after tonight's meeting, so. 00:26:18
And we have. 00:26:22
Determined mechanism for payment correct. 00:26:25
No Sir, this is just a quote to actually, I mean we, we have a plan for payment if the quote is accepted moving forward. 00:26:27
If Go Bond isn't accepted. 00:26:36
No, if the GO bond is accepted, it is part of that's going to be used for the first year. 00:26:37
Yes, installment for payment, that's correct. Yes, Sir. 00:26:42
Just for the record. 00:26:47
We're not accepting something that we don't have. 00:26:48
A plan for payment on as far as. 00:26:51
I think that needs to be contingent part of. 00:26:54
The discussion tonight, if we accept the quote then it needs to be contingent upon the closing of the go bonds that we can always 00:26:56
cover the 1st. 00:26:59
This year's payment on this correct so. 00:27:02
I don't know if it's worth itemizing what we're. 00:27:06
Talking about here for the public, I think it. 00:27:09
Might as well in the name of transparency is what? 00:27:11
We're looking to purchase for the road department. 00:27:14
The details will be part of the public record. 00:27:16
After tonight if you just want to go over the items of equipment. 00:27:19
OK. But the first time being a multi-purpose tractor? 00:27:22
And then a variety of pieces of equipment that could be attached to that. 00:27:26
Um, let's see. 00:27:31
The second is a. 00:27:40
Aspen 7. 00:27:42
Past seven? Boom. 00:27:44
Don't have a rotating cutting head? 00:27:46
Or. 00:27:48
Backups here. 00:27:53
Back up. Yeah. 00:27:54
I can probably explain this just a little better than staying again. 00:27:56
And the piece of equipment we're talking about purchasing? 00:28:01
Like as he said stated initially. 00:28:04
Is there's two multi-purpose tractors in here? 00:28:06
One, a larger one and a smaller one. 00:28:10
Because we don't need two of the larger ones. 00:28:12
That are in this. 00:28:14
And they? 00:28:15
Have both will have a Rotary motor on them. 00:28:17
I don't know if you all understand what a boom mower is that we use now. 00:28:19
It'll have a Rotary mower just like that. 00:28:22
And then we have additional pieces of equipment that can be attached to either machine. 00:28:25
To do various other projects you grapple. 00:28:28
A bar cutter. 00:28:31
Which instead of going down through the boom or just mangling up somebody's trees. 00:28:35
It actually cuts them off nice and plain. 00:28:38
Also cuts the overhead. 00:28:40
Which is an issue that we have been having this year. 00:28:42
With overhead. 00:28:45
One of the other items in here is a leaf collector. 00:28:47
And I think I mixed. I don't know if you all read the explanation for this. 00:28:51
We're picking up all these safe subdivisions. 00:28:54
That are ending, a lot of more maturing now so the leaves are there. 00:28:56
We're stopping up our storm drainages. 00:29:00
With this, we can let the the citizens know, hey, if you'll get them to the curb. 00:29:02
We'll pick him up. 00:29:07
It keeps them out of our form drainage. We can let stormwater pay for that, right? 00:29:08
I'm all for it. 00:29:13
Call 4. 00:29:16
Oh, our next one is a new hot box. It's a hot box dump truck. What what we have now? 00:29:17
Is very outdated. 00:29:24
Let's just we'll leave it that. 00:29:26
We're long. 00:29:28
You have to shovel it out with a shovel. 00:29:30
Well, this particular unit. 00:29:32
If we have a large patch. 00:29:34
We can actually dump with it. 00:29:35
Number one. Number two, if we have. 00:29:37
Material in it today to paddle with. Let's say we buy 3 tons. 00:29:40
At the end of the day, we got a ton and a half left. 00:29:44
Instead of dumping that on the ground and wasting it. 00:29:46
This machine here can be plugged into the wall. 00:29:48
It'll keep it warm until tomorrow. 00:29:51
We kicked the burners back on right back to using it. 00:29:52
It's going to save money in that area. 00:29:55
The large patches that. 00:29:58
Now we end up with this in it. 00:30:00
Because we're shoveling it out. Shoveling it out. 00:30:02
We can actually dump it, spread it out. 00:30:04
What was next to this pod? 00:30:11
The next one is a mastic machine. I don't know if either wanted. 00:30:16
Or the public is it dealt with master right now? And I know some more of those bids all read. 00:30:20
They talk about cold patch. 00:30:25
Which is nothing more than I'm gonna fill a hole today, and tomorrow we'll fill it again. 00:30:27
It does stay. 00:30:31
It's it's almost to me, it's a waste of money. 00:30:32
With this mastic unit, we can go out there in the middle of the winter. 00:30:35
Or something that's heated. 00:30:38
Clean the the pothole. 00:30:40
Let's attack now put this in it. 00:30:42
Tomorrow's hardest concrete. 00:30:43
And I know this because I've I've actually witnessed this unit in action. 00:30:45
It's a very good unit. 00:30:49
Now when you go out, fix pothole in the winter time. 00:30:51
It's there. You're not going back. 00:30:54
Every three or four days to fix that same bottle. 00:30:56
Very useful for the citizens, because we know. 00:30:59
Like this with a little weather event we had, Now it's going to create bottles. 00:31:02
It is what it is. 00:31:06
And the last but not least. 00:31:08
Is a sweeper. 00:31:10
As of right now, we have no sweeper. 00:31:12
What we use is a sweeper on a broom. 00:31:14
That when we use them in these subdivisions, we're either turn up. 00:31:17
Or turn up a piece of equipment. Or turn up the asphalt. It's not made for that. 00:31:22
With this particular unit and it's a used unit. 00:31:26
It's a mechanical units, not a vacuum unit. 00:31:30
Which is. 00:31:32
A plus for us. 00:31:33
Because the maintenance issues. 00:31:34
But with that unit, we can keep these subdivisions like they're supposed to be. 00:31:36
Not only the the new subdivisions, but some of the older subdivisions. 00:31:40
When we get called out to clean rock mud out of the. 00:31:45
Road was washed out from the rain storm, sure. 00:31:48
Very, very, very much needed equipment. 00:31:53
That's the that's the best time. 00:31:56
Any question? 00:31:59
Though we'd heard it before and I just it's a public record and public's paying for it. So when some of this information to start 00:32:01
getting out there, then there's going to be a lot more of it. 00:32:05
You know, uh. 00:32:09
To come forward and I hope his will. 00:32:10
Itemize all this for people to be able to look at and see what their. 00:32:13
They're purchasing. 00:32:17
You know, one of the things that we tasked you with when you came on board was doing an inventory of. 00:32:19
Equipment. Umm. 00:32:24
And personnel. 00:32:25
So I mean, I commend you on. 00:32:27
Coming up with a program for getting rid of some of the outdated equipment and and. 00:32:31
Working with us to help put in a program for ongoing replacement rather than. 00:32:35
Once every 10 years finding ourselves. 00:32:40
Woefully behind the 8 ball. 00:32:42
So I appreciate that. 00:32:44
We'll try to make this this work, I said. But. 00:32:47
It'll be contingent upon police. 00:32:50
The GO Bonds passage so that we can have the first year's payment. 00:32:52
Taken care of. 00:32:57
And while you're up here, I want to commend you on a great job this morning. I know I speak for. 00:32:58
Commissioner Loop and Commissioner. 00:33:03
Sharp as well on that. I got nothing but rave reviews today on the counties job, on the roads and. 00:33:05
I know you had a long day, so. 00:33:11
It's been a long day and I want to thank my guys and gals. 00:33:13
They're the ones that really got out there and got out. 00:33:16
Yeah, they seemed excited about it. 00:33:18
Which is good. 00:33:21
I like the enthusiasm. 00:33:23
More snow later this week. 00:33:27
All right. Thank you. 00:33:31
So. 00:33:32
With that in mind, I'd like for us to. 00:33:34
Consider accepting this quote of $1,165,332.60. 00:33:37
Um, contingent upon. 00:33:43
Closing of the GO bond. 00:33:47
Honor about December 15th, 20262025 Excuse me? 00:33:49
Um, and stands. 00:33:56
Not too far off if there's further questions or discussion, right? 00:33:58
Yeah. 00:34:01
Have a motion. 00:34:03
And second, all in favor, aye. 00:34:05
All right, asking for approval of meeting minutes for November 18th, 25 and November 26th, 2025. 00:34:09
So moved second. 00:34:16
All in favor, aye? 00:34:19
And approval of payroll and claims. 00:34:21
Motion to approve. 00:34:25
2nd. 00:34:26
All right. All in favor, aye. 00:34:27
And our next meeting will be Tuesday, December 16, 2025 and 6:00 PM. We met earlier at stormwater at 4:30. 00:34:30
Any public officials here who would like to make. 00:34:37
Comment OK any public who would like to make comment tonight. 00:34:41
All right. Any closing comments? 00:34:46
Yeah, I just want to. 00:34:49
Echo what House said your guys. 00:34:50
Did a great job this morning, appreciate all their hard work. 00:34:52
Also like to come in the Sheriff's Office and our. 00:34:56
Firefighters and EMS workers as well. 00:35:00
So they had a busy day today. So thank you very much. Appreciate everybody's efforts. 00:35:02
You didn't want to read extensively from the phone book. 00:35:09
No on Jasons, but. 00:35:11
All right. I feel sorry for him. He's got to drive north. 00:35:14
Yeah. All right. Then I'll look for a motion to adjourn. 00:35:17
So moved second. All right. Thanks everyone. 00:35:20
