To the July 15th, 2025 Floyd County Commissioners meeting. 00:00:02
We'll start with the Pledge of Allegiance, please. 00:00:08
I pledge allegiance to the flag. 00:00:12
Of the United States of America. 00:00:14
To the Republic for which it stands. 00:00:17
One nation under God. 00:00:19
Indivisible with liberty and justice for all. 00:00:21
If you will, if you have a cell phone, if you'll please put that on silent mode. 00:00:28
And if you. 00:00:32
Need to utilize that during the meeting. The hallways is there for your use. 00:00:34
And please join me in a moment of silence for individual meditation, prayer, reflection. 00:00:39
Just as we get focused on tonight's meeting. 00:00:45
All right. Thank you. We did have a sign in sheet. 00:01:09
No one signed up to speak on agenda items so. 00:01:12
Miss Lockhart and anyone else wishing to speak public comment at the end of the agenda. We'll have time to do that this evening. I 00:01:16
will start with old business first. We have the solicitation permit request from Oxy Pest Control. Do we have anyone here from 00:01:22
Moxie Pest Control tonight? 00:01:27
Yeah, please come up to the podium and. 00:01:33
Introduce yourself name and address. 00:01:36
OK, my name is Dallin Johnson. 00:01:44
Address is. 00:01:47
Shelbyville, SO 8567. 00:01:49
Mid trail. 00:01:52
Midland Trail, Sorry. 00:01:53
Shelbyville, KY. 00:01:56
OK. Mm-hmm. 00:01:58
All right. And you are one of the individuals who is applying for a permit, correct? 00:02:00
That's correct. 00:02:05
OK, and you're the only person from Moxie here this evening. 00:02:06
Yes, OK. I think the three other individuals were Nicholas Hagman. 00:02:10
Brian Zollinger and. 00:02:14
Bailey, Bruce. Does that sound familiar? 00:02:16
Yes, just. 00:02:19
Bingham Zollinger and Nick Hagman. 00:02:21
Bailey, Bruce. 00:02:23
Not required. 00:02:24
Anymore. 00:02:25
Not required on their part. They're withdrawing the request. 00:02:27
OK. 00:02:30
All right, all right. 00:02:33
Rick, do you have anything to say on the matter? And if not, then? 00:02:35
Put it up for the vote. 00:02:39
Did did you want to say something about your product and what you're sure you guys have any questions about it? 00:02:41
Or no, if you do wish to speak to it, we'll we'll recommend 2 minutes or less on that, Sure. 00:02:47
Pretty simple, it's a thoroughly extensive pest control service just like other competitors such as Black Diamond Bright. 00:02:54
Orkin, Terminix, a lot of those other guys. 00:03:02
Our model, we simply just go door to door for marketing purposes. 00:03:06
Logistically easiest to group houses together on the same route in the same day. 00:03:11
Cheaper for us, cheaper for the homeowner. 00:03:15
We can offer more service for a better price doing it that way versus. 00:03:18
Social media ads, billboards, TV commercials. 00:03:22
So that's why we simply go door to door. We avoid. 00:03:25
No soliciting signs. We respect individuals requests. 00:03:28
That way and the no knock list. 00:03:31
As well. 00:03:33
We also avoid that. 00:03:35
We don't like to like. 00:03:37
Bombard neighborhoods like. 00:03:38
Week over week we simply just go through a neighborhood, typically just like once or twice a summer. 00:03:40
Offer our service. They say no. 00:03:45
That's that's okay. 00:03:48
Move on to the next house. It's not for everyone so. 00:03:49
Yeah, it's just a. 00:03:51
Usually a quarterly service. 00:03:52
Summer, fall, Winter, Spring maintenance. 00:03:54
And warranty in between. 00:03:56
Pretty simple. So we do the Yard House. 00:03:58
Inside and outside. 00:04:00
Great. Well, wanted to give you an opportunity to sell your product. This is being streamed so. 00:04:02
Yeah, you need me. 00:04:08
Susanna will be issuing your permits. 00:04:13
Susanna, do you? 00:04:19
Touch base with regards to. 00:04:22
Finalizing. 00:04:25
The permits if the commissioners go ahead and approve. 00:04:27
Say, if we vote to approve, I think you could just speak with him in the hallway. That'd be OK. Yeah, Yeah. And then. 00:04:30
But I think it's also, since we're streaming a great opportunity to let our. 00:04:38
Citizens know how they can get on the no knock list. 00:04:43
Which is. 00:04:46
By a simple phone call to. 00:04:48
Susanna Worrell On our website the number is listed. 00:04:51
And that's updated. 00:04:55
Continuously so if you want to put your name on there. 00:04:57
So that. 00:05:01
Don't have solicitors? 00:05:02
I think the only solicitor is not. 00:05:03
Subject to that are. 00:05:05
Politicians. 00:05:07
But we honor that anywhere. At least I do so. 00:05:08
All right. Any other questions for? 00:05:12
Mr. Dallin. 00:05:15
Yes. 00:05:16
No, no, I look for a motion to approve the permit request for those 3 individuals so moved. 00:05:17
2nd. 00:05:23
OK. Motion is second all in favor? 00:05:24
Aye. 00:05:27
All right, passes, And then Susanna can talk to you about the details. You see her, she'll explain to you. 00:05:28
Finalize that, OK. 00:05:34
Thank you so much. 00:05:35
Thank you. Thank you. County Health Department. Anthony Lieber. 00:05:36
So I'm here tonight to present 2 ordinances. The first one is going to be the Retail Food Establishment ordinance. 00:05:41
The reason for this being a new ordinance is because. 00:05:47
The state Department of Health has revised and passed a new health code. 00:05:50
So we needed to update our ordinance to reflect the new health code. 00:05:54
There aren't any. 00:05:58
Real big changes from the previous ordinance. 00:05:59
The only thing I could say that really changed was. 00:06:03
The fee structure for follow-ups. 00:06:06
Just like the previous one, first follow up screen. 00:06:08
The previous ordinance said every follow up after that was at 50%. 00:06:11
Of your of your annual permit fee. 00:06:15
This one is graduated. Your second follow-up is 50%. 00:06:18
Your third follow-up, 75%. Your 4th is 100%. 00:06:22
So. 00:06:26
And also on the 4th one that would necessitate a meeting with the health department. 00:06:27
OK, so. 00:06:35
Both of these are. 00:06:37
Being driven by Indianapolis then correct the pool ordinance we updated because in the previous years we've seen an increase in 00:06:39
follow-ups needed. So when we go to do a pool inspection. 00:06:43
We would close the pool. 00:06:48
And if they if. 00:06:50
And we have to do follow-ups to open it. 00:06:51
The cost of the supplies has gone up. 00:06:53
So we started looking at others comparable counties. 00:06:56
And we raised our feet. 00:06:59
Match that. 00:07:01
As well as a follow up inspection fee to cover costs. 00:07:02
So we calculated it's about $37 for each pool inspection. 00:07:05
That's currently so the follow up fee would be $50. 00:07:09
And that would allow for a little bit of wiggle room. 00:07:13
As the cost of spots. 00:07:16
And then the permit fees went from 60. 00:07:19
For a yearly to 125 and for a. 00:07:22
Six month or less, from 30 to 75. 00:07:25
That's for the school. 00:07:29
The Bulls, yeah, OK, So my apologies because I drew, I drew us into talking about both of these at the same time and I think. 00:07:30
At least from our end, we're going to need to see if there are any questions on an individual so. 00:07:38
We we can handle questions during discussion, but. 00:07:44
Well, Andrews at the podium or anything. Sorry, at the podium. 00:07:49
Questions on either of these? 00:07:53
So. 00:07:55
I know these salt baths are starting to take. 00:07:58
Gain a lot of popularity in the area. Is that covered in this as well or? 00:08:01
That should cover everything in that. If not then. 00:08:05
There we would obviously have to update, but we also have a state code. 00:08:08
As well that we fall back on. 00:08:12
And that does address the spots as well. 00:08:16
The big thing we've seen is the splash pads and we've only had one of them. 00:08:19
And they're in compliance. 00:08:22
But that's the big thing, and it's covered in there as well. 00:08:24
Do you charge for the splash pad in a public park? 00:08:28
So. 00:08:31
The public ones. 00:08:32
In schools, there is no annual fee on that. 00:08:34
There would only be from my understanding. 00:08:37
Correct me if I'm wrong, Rick. 00:08:40
If they're necessitated to follow up. 00:08:41
Then there would be a fee. 00:08:44
How many? How many pools do you fill or. 00:08:51
Or that are covered in this ordinance that you all inspects? 00:08:53
On a yearly basis. 00:08:56
Want to say we're up to about 25? 00:08:58
25, yeah. 00:09:01
Now. 00:09:03
Some of those are there is no fee like you know the YMCA. 00:09:04
In the schools, but we found the previous couple of years as there were a couple of hotels. 00:09:08
That we had some issues with one of them we had to. 00:09:14
Do I think at least 12 follow-ups in the year to try to get the reopen? 00:09:17
And they just would never pass. 00:09:21
You tell them how to get compliance, you get called to come back out. 00:09:22
They would pass and something that. 00:09:25
That adds up at $37 a bottle. 00:09:27
I understand that. 00:09:30
And people that use those apps. 00:09:35
And uh. 00:09:38
People rent their houses. 00:09:39
And they have a pool. 00:09:41
For example, that would be. 00:09:42
Semi private. 00:09:44
So that that would. 00:09:46
Fall under this and the last time we looked there was. 00:09:47
I believe it was. 00:09:52
Seven Airbnb's. 00:09:54
Only one of them had a pool, but they didn't meet the requirement for testing for the state rule. 00:09:56
So it's it's based on the the. 00:10:02
Number of times it's occupied in the number of days occupied. 00:10:06
And then the homeowners can also. 00:10:10
Not allow the occupants to use their pool as well. 00:10:13
That's an option. 00:10:16
As far as the pool ordinance goes, not a lot changed on it other than. 00:10:19
Increasing the fees and adding. 00:10:23
The fee for plan review. So just much like a restaurant, somebody applies, we have to get it. 00:10:26
Packet that they fill out, review everything, get it to Homeland Security. 00:10:31
Get the OK. 00:10:35
And then the other one was the following one. 00:10:36
And those those fees are comparable to? 00:10:38
Similar size counties necessarily. 00:10:40
OK again. 00:10:47
There are no other questions. 00:10:49
He's been. 00:10:53
Yeah, I'll make a motion to pass with unanimous consent, Floyd County Ordinance 2025-18, which is the Floyd County Retail, Food 00:10:54
Establishment and Bed and Breakfast Establishment Ordinance. 00:11:00
I'll second. 00:11:07
We have a motion to 2nd any further discussion or questions for Mr. Lieber at this point. 00:11:08
All in favor, aye? 00:11:14
Aye, aye. 00:11:16
All right. 00:11:22
And we'll look for similar. 00:11:23
Motion to bring forward Floyd County Ordinance, 2025-19. 00:11:27
OK. So I'm not hearing a motion at present. 00:11:35
Is there a concern that we can take back to the health department? 00:11:38
Regards to that. 00:11:41
I'm just. 00:11:44
I'm just wanting to look through this just real quick home last time before. 00:11:44
OK. 00:11:48
Do you know what happens to the money that you collect? 00:11:58
The fees for the pool, do you know what happens? 00:12:03
To that money. 00:12:07
And go in a certain fund. 00:12:09
Or. 00:12:11
That would be Charlotte knows a little bit more about the finances. If you didn't know, that's fine. 00:12:12
I didn't know if you were aware of it. I'm not sure which one. My concern is that we're feeding people to death out here. So 00:12:16
right. 00:12:20
That's my only concern. 00:12:24
And so we, like I said, we tried to build it, we calculated the average cost and that's just if we test it once, we could go out 00:12:25
and have to test it twice. 00:12:29
And the cost of supplies has only gone up. So that's. 00:12:33
Follow up, we figured it's about 37 bucks. 00:12:35
That's what $13 room for buffer for price increases. 00:12:38
Yeah, that was the main concern, I think we calculated. 00:12:42
At least. 00:12:46
$1000 last year. 00:12:48
Just in supplies. 00:12:50
If not more because we just. 00:12:52
Based on doing testing, 1 per follow up visit. 00:12:54
You know my thoughts on this is. 00:12:58
I understand the public pools. I understand the hotel pools. 00:13:01
And I I kind of understand the semi private pool, but I have a real problem with sending people on the people's private property. 00:13:05
To do these types of inspections I would just like a little more. 00:13:12
Any of those, like I said, in the area? 00:13:15
It would be something where if they. 00:13:18
We haven't had to address it yet because we just did a survey. 00:13:20
To see if the Airbnb is. 00:13:23
Would require follow-ups and none of them do. 00:13:25
So this doesn't really affect anybodies private. 00:13:30
Who in their yard? 00:13:33
It would only be like in that instance, it would only be. 00:13:35
If they. 00:13:38
You know, we see, hey, there's an Airbnb and we've only surveyed them. 00:13:39
Once or twice to see. 00:13:43
And just determine that there's not really anybody that we know of an area doing that. 00:13:45
And so it would only be if they're operating. 00:13:50
As the like the Airbnb or VRBO. 00:13:52
But to our knowledge, we don't have any. 00:13:55
OK, I'll make a motion to. 00:13:57
Accept the ordinance. 00:14:01
20/25/19 then as written. 00:14:03
With unanimous consent. 00:14:07
With unanimous consent, then I'll second. 00:14:08
Thank you. 00:14:10
I have a motion and a second. 00:14:11
All in favor. 00:14:14
Aye, aye, aye. 00:14:15
All right. Thank you. I think you had one. 00:14:17
Other item. 00:14:20
On the off chance that you might want to go somewhere else, I'm going to go ahead and bump you up to the next tier on the. 00:14:22
MOU agreement with Clark County Health Department. 00:14:29
Yes. So State Department of Health provides us with what's called an XRF lead paint analyzer. 00:14:31
So it's like a little gun we walk up to the wall, we can test to see if there's a presence of lead paint. 00:14:36
We would do this once we get involved with the child with the elevated blood lead level. 00:14:41
And they give it to us at no cost. But part of it is. 00:14:45
We can house it at the health department, but if any surrounding counties need to use it, we have to let them use it. And part of 00:14:49
MOU with the state is we have to have an MOU with that account. 00:14:53
And Clark County has been the only one that's wanting to borrow this book. 00:14:59
OK. Any questions regarding that? 00:15:02
Proposed MOU? No, I'll make the motion to approve the MOU. 00:15:06
Yeah, I second that. 00:15:09
All in favor, aye? 00:15:11
Thank you. Thank you for your time. Thanks. 00:15:13
Anthem. 00:15:15
All right, at this point, we're going to be accepting bids on the Floyd County Government Center. 00:15:17
We're going to be opening those and cataloging those. Do we have anyone else in the? 00:15:23
Room tonight. Who would like to submit a bid at this hour? 00:15:29
OK. 00:15:33
Alright. 00:15:37
This one does not have 4. 00:15:40
It looks like it. 00:15:42

Overflow Service LLC is that Overflow Service LLC? 00:15:56
I don't see. 00:16:01

Should probably have them like have. 00:16:27
One red sheet. 00:16:29
That we can pull out there that has the flag. Yeah. I don't see a flag. 00:16:31
All right, so. 00:16:47
Again, that was overflow. 00:16:49
Service LLC. 00:16:51
For $471,599. 00:16:53
Sure. 00:17:06
This is from Overflow Service LLC as well. 00:17:27
OK, must have got 2 coffees. Yeah, yeah. 00:17:31

Total three bids. 00:17:45
The most recent? 00:17:50
Next bit is from Shire. 00:17:53
All right, Shire Minute. 00:18:51
$415,000. 00:18:53
And the final bit is from Martin Construction Company. 00:19:05
Give this job to get the biggest thumbs, yeah? 00:19:35
Really like the suspense. 00:19:39
This accomplished drum roll. 00:19:42
I can't. 00:19:51
6. 00:19:58
Yeah, I know. 00:20:04
All right, $399,000. 00:20:26
For. 00:20:29
Yeah. 00:20:32
All right. I'll look for a motion to take these under advisement, so moved. 00:20:37
Second, all in favor? 00:20:41
All right. Thank you very much. 00:20:44
Forward to. 00:20:47
We're using those greater detail. 00:20:50
Chief Operations Officer Nick Creeby. 00:20:53
Good evening. 00:20:57
I have an allowance adjustment for the red wire building. 00:20:58
This is adjustment #2. 00:21:02
This was reviewed and approved. 00:21:05
By the Redevelopment Commission earlier today, the amount is an additional $8519. 00:21:07
This is accounted for in the contingency expenses for the project. 00:21:16
Looking for your approval for that. 00:21:21
Make a motion for approval on. 00:21:26
The allowance adjustment for. 00:21:28
Sharman on Nova Park. 00:21:31
I'll second. 00:21:33
I have a motion and a second. All in favor, aye. 00:21:34
Aye, aye. 00:21:37
Thank you. 00:21:39
All right, a community corrections director. 00:21:42
Is rice here or I've told him I would take care of it. He had. 00:21:45
Somewhere else to be today. 00:21:48
Basically community corrections. 00:21:51
Is umm. 00:21:55
Looking for permission to carry their firearms in the judicial building. 00:21:57
And apparently that's been the. 00:22:03
Way that they've done it in the past, whenever they change employees, they want to update that list. 00:22:08
So this resolution. 00:22:14
Just allows them to continue to carry their firearms in the judicial building. 00:22:17
And they need our approval and it's an updated list of employees. 00:22:23
So I'll make a motion for approval of the resolution 20/25/17. 00:22:27
For community corrections, I'll second. 00:22:33
Motion is second all in favor, aye. 00:22:35
Aye, all right, that passes as well. 00:22:38
Does anyone hear from the Sheriff's Department tonight on this MOU? 00:22:42
Stan, you want to. 00:22:48
I mean, it's pretty straightforward. I could also. You're already halfway here though, so I'll, I'll let you. 00:22:50
This, this was the exploration. 00:23:01
Excuse me of trying to head off some of the expenses for pretrial inmates that are housed in the Floyd County Jail. Medical 00:23:04
expenses. 00:23:08
I spoke with Mr. Fox. You had asked me to reach out to assured partners, which I did. 00:23:12
It seems as if it was been a significant period. 00:23:18
Ago umm. 00:23:21
They've kind of pushed it off. 00:23:22
Time and time again they asked me to send them the HP Freedom packet that we received. 00:23:24
So that they could construct something that would resemble. 00:23:30
What HP was offering. 00:23:34
We still the Sheriff's Office, as far as I know is still not heard anything back. 00:23:37
At this particular point. 00:23:41
And I think that Sheriff Bush's request here tonight is to. 00:23:43
Request other commissioners to allow him to go ahead and sign this MOU. 00:23:47
It's of no financial. 00:23:52
Our lengthy obligation. I think Mr. Fox could attest to that. 00:23:54
On behalf of the Fort County Sheriff's Office nor the Floyd County. 00:23:58
Commissioners or Floyd County government? 00:24:02
It's an obligation, more so on behalf of. 00:24:05
HP Freedom. 00:24:10
They are just. 00:24:11
Assisting us with the application process. 00:24:12
So that inmates could pretrial inmates could apply for. 00:24:15
Medical insurance. 00:24:20
Which could be applied. 00:24:22
To their incarceration period up to the point of where they become sentenced. 00:24:23
They will also be allowed to carry this insurance into. 00:24:29
Their regular life or normal life upon. 00:24:33
Release so sheriff is just. 00:24:36
I believe he's just asking for the. 00:24:38
Ability to just sign this so that we could get something in place. 00:24:40
To move forward in this process. 00:24:45
So do you know? 00:24:48
Who's paying for that? 00:24:51
The pretrial inmate. 00:24:53
Or. 00:24:54
Soft Medicaid or who? 00:24:56
Yeah, it apparently there is a gap in. 00:24:59
Obamacare. Yeah, that allows this. 00:25:03
Process to operate officially. 00:25:07
For pre trials. 00:25:10
Because obviously once they become incarcerated, they lose Medicare, Medicaid, they just completely goes away. 00:25:11
But there's a gap that apparently HP Freedom has identified. 00:25:17
A legal gap that has allowed them the opportunity to offer or accept an application for. 00:25:21
And if they qualify and I'm not sure what the qualifications are. 00:25:27
It will allow pre trial inmates. 00:25:31
Accept this coverage. 00:25:34
And then again they are evaluated based on their income status if there is any type of a. 00:25:35
Copay. 00:25:41
Monthly premium. 00:25:43
What I've been assured by Larry Covington of HP Freedom is. 00:25:44
That that in 99% of the cases is a 0 cost to the inmates. 00:25:48
So. 00:25:54
The obvious advantage here is with the hospital expiring, the contract expiring we're. 00:25:56
The Sheriff's Office will have to pick up the. 00:26:01
Medical costs. 00:26:05
For that, and this also helped cover pharmaceuticals. 00:26:06
So if we were to hit, you know, some. 00:26:10
Heavy priced pharmaceuticals. 00:26:13
That we couldn't get mitigated down this insurance could also. 00:26:15
Shore up some of those expenses. 00:26:20
OK. Thank you. 00:26:23
Thank you for that information and. 00:26:24
I'll make a motion that we approve the MOU with. 00:26:26
HP Freedom. 00:26:31
I'll second. 00:26:33
Motion is second all in favor, aye. 00:26:34
Thank you very much. Thanks, Dan. 00:26:37
Jason, did you want to take an introduction? 00:26:41
Yeah. 00:26:43
Mr. Main, can you come up to the podium? 00:26:44
Yes, Sir. 00:26:46
So as many of you may or may not have known. 00:26:50
Our longtime friend and road department Superintendent Ronnie Tool has. 00:26:53
Retired and. 00:26:58
You know, uh, uh. 00:27:00
We've hired a new. 00:27:01
Road Superintendent, and that is. 00:27:03
Mr. Main, Mr. Main, would you like to introduce yourself to? 00:27:05
The people fully can. 00:27:08
My name is Sydney, Maine. 00:27:09
I don't know a whole lot to tell you about this. 00:27:12
My wife from New Albany, that's how I ended up here. 00:27:17
Like, you know, it's not in the contract that you have to come to these meetings. 00:27:21
No, Sir, but I think. 00:27:25
Well, it's good to see you and you know you've had. 00:27:28
10 days on the job now. 00:27:30
14-6 days in the seat yesterday since last Monday. 00:27:32
Alright, alright. 00:27:36
Well, winter is coming. 00:27:38
Winter's go. 00:27:39
Can't wait. You can't. 00:27:41
All right. Thank you for helping me. 00:27:44
It's all opportunity to put a face with a name, so it's all opportunity you're on. 00:27:45
Your live stream so you can turn around, smile to the camera. 00:27:50
Sell some pesticides. 00:27:57
Any board and committee reports tonight? 00:28:00
All right. I'll look for approval of Commissioners meeting minutes for July 1, 2025. 00:28:04
So moved. 00:28:10
Second all in favor, aye. 00:28:11
Aye, and approval of payroll and claims as submitted by the Auditor's office. 00:28:14
Earlier in the week. 00:28:18
Motion to approve. 00:28:20
Have a motion to approve. 00:28:21
Second. Second. All in favor. 00:28:24
Aye, aye, All right. Our next meeting will be Tuesday, August 5th, 2025 at 6:00 PM. Do we have any government officials who would 00:28:26
like to make public comment tonight? 00:28:30
Real. 00:28:36
All right, slow Newsday. 00:28:38
Go to public comment. We had one. 00:28:40
Susan Lockhart. 00:28:44
And I don't. 00:28:49
Do we have anybody else who'd like to speak tonight for the show of hands? 00:28:50
We'll give you 4 minutes. And how's that? I don't know if you guys are who I need to address. This is about the Floyd County Solid 00:28:55
Waste Management. 00:29:00
Decision that was made last week. 00:29:04
And I had, I had some questions on that. 00:29:08
OK. So this is not Q&A, this is a public. 00:29:11
Meeting. If you'd like to have QA with any of us afterwards, we're happy to hang around to do that. 00:29:14
The commissioners already voted in favor of dissolution of that. 00:29:19
So we will not be voting on that again. 00:29:23
For another 180 some odd days. 00:29:25
The council had a preliminary vote. 00:29:28
In favor of dissolution, they have another second vote that will be taking place. This. 00:29:31
Friday, correct? 00:29:35
At the 10:00. 00:29:37
Joint meeting in this room. 00:29:39
So there will probably be time for public comment before that vote. Well, I do have a public comment and that is. 00:29:41
If there was no comparison. 00:29:49
To a new company. 00:29:52
My. 00:29:55
Statement is. 00:29:57
There was no way to make a value proposition. 00:29:59
If you don't have anything to base it on. 00:30:03
It seems like I know there's apple to oranges comparison. 00:30:06
But if you have apple to air. 00:30:10
Comparison. 00:30:12
There was no other There was no one to compare the prices, products and services with. 00:30:14
And I'm thinking that. 00:30:21
You can't bring in a new company. 00:30:24
And compare it to the old company. 00:30:27
Unless there's something to compare it to. 00:30:29
And also was wondering when are the open bids? 00:30:33
Going to be put on the website so we can see those. 00:30:37
Because it's it's not. 00:30:42
Our meeting will wrap in a minute. I'm happy to sit down and talk with you about those questions. That might be the best thing and 00:30:45
also, you know, when there is a full. 00:30:49
Commissioners meeting like there was last week. 00:30:54
That that would be a good. 00:30:57
Good time to maybe have some more questions at that point. 00:30:59
But yeah, I can stick around. 00:31:03
I have some questions. 00:31:04
All right. 00:31:06
No one knows for public comment tonight. 00:31:08
I'll look for a motion to adjourn, so moved. 00:31:11
2nd. 00:31:13
All right. 00:31:22

Event transcript
To the July 15th, 2025 Floyd County Commissioners meeting. 00:00:02
We'll start with the Pledge of Allegiance, please. 00:00:08
I pledge allegiance to the flag. 00:00:12
Of the United States of America. 00:00:14
To the Republic for which it stands. 00:00:17
One nation under God. 00:00:19
Indivisible with liberty and justice for all. 00:00:21
If you will, if you have a cell phone, if you'll please put that on silent mode. 00:00:28
And if you. 00:00:32
Need to utilize that during the meeting. The hallways is there for your use. 00:00:34
And please join me in a moment of silence for individual meditation, prayer, reflection. 00:00:39
Just as we get focused on tonight's meeting. 00:00:45
All right. Thank you. We did have a sign in sheet. 00:01:09
No one signed up to speak on agenda items so. 00:01:12
Miss Lockhart and anyone else wishing to speak public comment at the end of the agenda. We'll have time to do that this evening. I 00:01:16
will start with old business first. We have the solicitation permit request from Oxy Pest Control. Do we have anyone here from 00:01:22
Moxie Pest Control tonight? 00:01:27
Yeah, please come up to the podium and. 00:01:33
Introduce yourself name and address. 00:01:36
OK, my name is Dallin Johnson. 00:01:44
Address is. 00:01:47
Shelbyville, SO 8567. 00:01:49
Mid trail. 00:01:52
Midland Trail, Sorry. 00:01:53
Shelbyville, KY. 00:01:56
OK. Mm-hmm. 00:01:58
All right. And you are one of the individuals who is applying for a permit, correct? 00:02:00
That's correct. 00:02:05
OK, and you're the only person from Moxie here this evening. 00:02:06
Yes, OK. I think the three other individuals were Nicholas Hagman. 00:02:10
Brian Zollinger and. 00:02:14
Bailey, Bruce. Does that sound familiar? 00:02:16
Yes, just. 00:02:19
Bingham Zollinger and Nick Hagman. 00:02:21
Bailey, Bruce. 00:02:23
Not required. 00:02:24
Anymore. 00:02:25
Not required on their part. They're withdrawing the request. 00:02:27
OK. 00:02:30
All right, all right. 00:02:33
Rick, do you have anything to say on the matter? And if not, then? 00:02:35
Put it up for the vote. 00:02:39
Did did you want to say something about your product and what you're sure you guys have any questions about it? 00:02:41
Or no, if you do wish to speak to it, we'll we'll recommend 2 minutes or less on that, Sure. 00:02:47
Pretty simple, it's a thoroughly extensive pest control service just like other competitors such as Black Diamond Bright. 00:02:54
Orkin, Terminix, a lot of those other guys. 00:03:02
Our model, we simply just go door to door for marketing purposes. 00:03:06
Logistically easiest to group houses together on the same route in the same day. 00:03:11
Cheaper for us, cheaper for the homeowner. 00:03:15
We can offer more service for a better price doing it that way versus. 00:03:18
Social media ads, billboards, TV commercials. 00:03:22
So that's why we simply go door to door. We avoid. 00:03:25
No soliciting signs. We respect individuals requests. 00:03:28
That way and the no knock list. 00:03:31
As well. 00:03:33
We also avoid that. 00:03:35
We don't like to like. 00:03:37
Bombard neighborhoods like. 00:03:38
Week over week we simply just go through a neighborhood, typically just like once or twice a summer. 00:03:40
Offer our service. They say no. 00:03:45
That's that's okay. 00:03:48
Move on to the next house. It's not for everyone so. 00:03:49
Yeah, it's just a. 00:03:51
Usually a quarterly service. 00:03:52
Summer, fall, Winter, Spring maintenance. 00:03:54
And warranty in between. 00:03:56
Pretty simple. So we do the Yard House. 00:03:58
Inside and outside. 00:04:00
Great. Well, wanted to give you an opportunity to sell your product. This is being streamed so. 00:04:02
Yeah, you need me. 00:04:08
Susanna will be issuing your permits. 00:04:13
Susanna, do you? 00:04:19
Touch base with regards to. 00:04:22
Finalizing. 00:04:25
The permits if the commissioners go ahead and approve. 00:04:27
Say, if we vote to approve, I think you could just speak with him in the hallway. That'd be OK. Yeah, Yeah. And then. 00:04:30
But I think it's also, since we're streaming a great opportunity to let our. 00:04:38
Citizens know how they can get on the no knock list. 00:04:43
Which is. 00:04:46
By a simple phone call to. 00:04:48
Susanna Worrell On our website the number is listed. 00:04:51
And that's updated. 00:04:55
Continuously so if you want to put your name on there. 00:04:57
So that. 00:05:01
Don't have solicitors? 00:05:02
I think the only solicitor is not. 00:05:03
Subject to that are. 00:05:05
Politicians. 00:05:07
But we honor that anywhere. At least I do so. 00:05:08
All right. Any other questions for? 00:05:12
Mr. Dallin. 00:05:15
Yes. 00:05:16
No, no, I look for a motion to approve the permit request for those 3 individuals so moved. 00:05:17
2nd. 00:05:23
OK. Motion is second all in favor? 00:05:24
Aye. 00:05:27
All right, passes, And then Susanna can talk to you about the details. You see her, she'll explain to you. 00:05:28
Finalize that, OK. 00:05:34
Thank you so much. 00:05:35
Thank you. Thank you. County Health Department. Anthony Lieber. 00:05:36
So I'm here tonight to present 2 ordinances. The first one is going to be the Retail Food Establishment ordinance. 00:05:41
The reason for this being a new ordinance is because. 00:05:47
The state Department of Health has revised and passed a new health code. 00:05:50
So we needed to update our ordinance to reflect the new health code. 00:05:54
There aren't any. 00:05:58
Real big changes from the previous ordinance. 00:05:59
The only thing I could say that really changed was. 00:06:03
The fee structure for follow-ups. 00:06:06
Just like the previous one, first follow up screen. 00:06:08
The previous ordinance said every follow up after that was at 50%. 00:06:11
Of your of your annual permit fee. 00:06:15
This one is graduated. Your second follow-up is 50%. 00:06:18
Your third follow-up, 75%. Your 4th is 100%. 00:06:22
So. 00:06:26
And also on the 4th one that would necessitate a meeting with the health department. 00:06:27
OK, so. 00:06:35
Both of these are. 00:06:37
Being driven by Indianapolis then correct the pool ordinance we updated because in the previous years we've seen an increase in 00:06:39
follow-ups needed. So when we go to do a pool inspection. 00:06:43
We would close the pool. 00:06:48
And if they if. 00:06:50
And we have to do follow-ups to open it. 00:06:51
The cost of the supplies has gone up. 00:06:53
So we started looking at others comparable counties. 00:06:56
And we raised our feet. 00:06:59
Match that. 00:07:01
As well as a follow up inspection fee to cover costs. 00:07:02
So we calculated it's about $37 for each pool inspection. 00:07:05
That's currently so the follow up fee would be $50. 00:07:09
And that would allow for a little bit of wiggle room. 00:07:13
As the cost of spots. 00:07:16
And then the permit fees went from 60. 00:07:19
For a yearly to 125 and for a. 00:07:22
Six month or less, from 30 to 75. 00:07:25
That's for the school. 00:07:29
The Bulls, yeah, OK, So my apologies because I drew, I drew us into talking about both of these at the same time and I think. 00:07:30
At least from our end, we're going to need to see if there are any questions on an individual so. 00:07:38
We we can handle questions during discussion, but. 00:07:44
Well, Andrews at the podium or anything. Sorry, at the podium. 00:07:49
Questions on either of these? 00:07:53
So. 00:07:55
I know these salt baths are starting to take. 00:07:58
Gain a lot of popularity in the area. Is that covered in this as well or? 00:08:01
That should cover everything in that. If not then. 00:08:05
There we would obviously have to update, but we also have a state code. 00:08:08
As well that we fall back on. 00:08:12
And that does address the spots as well. 00:08:16
The big thing we've seen is the splash pads and we've only had one of them. 00:08:19
And they're in compliance. 00:08:22
But that's the big thing, and it's covered in there as well. 00:08:24
Do you charge for the splash pad in a public park? 00:08:28
So. 00:08:31
The public ones. 00:08:32
In schools, there is no annual fee on that. 00:08:34
There would only be from my understanding. 00:08:37
Correct me if I'm wrong, Rick. 00:08:40
If they're necessitated to follow up. 00:08:41
Then there would be a fee. 00:08:44
How many? How many pools do you fill or. 00:08:51
Or that are covered in this ordinance that you all inspects? 00:08:53
On a yearly basis. 00:08:56
Want to say we're up to about 25? 00:08:58
25, yeah. 00:09:01
Now. 00:09:03
Some of those are there is no fee like you know the YMCA. 00:09:04
In the schools, but we found the previous couple of years as there were a couple of hotels. 00:09:08
That we had some issues with one of them we had to. 00:09:14
Do I think at least 12 follow-ups in the year to try to get the reopen? 00:09:17
And they just would never pass. 00:09:21
You tell them how to get compliance, you get called to come back out. 00:09:22
They would pass and something that. 00:09:25
That adds up at $37 a bottle. 00:09:27
I understand that. 00:09:30
And people that use those apps. 00:09:35
And uh. 00:09:38
People rent their houses. 00:09:39
And they have a pool. 00:09:41
For example, that would be. 00:09:42
Semi private. 00:09:44
So that that would. 00:09:46
Fall under this and the last time we looked there was. 00:09:47
I believe it was. 00:09:52
Seven Airbnb's. 00:09:54
Only one of them had a pool, but they didn't meet the requirement for testing for the state rule. 00:09:56
So it's it's based on the the. 00:10:02
Number of times it's occupied in the number of days occupied. 00:10:06
And then the homeowners can also. 00:10:10
Not allow the occupants to use their pool as well. 00:10:13
That's an option. 00:10:16
As far as the pool ordinance goes, not a lot changed on it other than. 00:10:19
Increasing the fees and adding. 00:10:23
The fee for plan review. So just much like a restaurant, somebody applies, we have to get it. 00:10:26
Packet that they fill out, review everything, get it to Homeland Security. 00:10:31
Get the OK. 00:10:35
And then the other one was the following one. 00:10:36
And those those fees are comparable to? 00:10:38
Similar size counties necessarily. 00:10:40
OK again. 00:10:47
There are no other questions. 00:10:49
He's been. 00:10:53
Yeah, I'll make a motion to pass with unanimous consent, Floyd County Ordinance 2025-18, which is the Floyd County Retail, Food 00:10:54
Establishment and Bed and Breakfast Establishment Ordinance. 00:11:00
I'll second. 00:11:07
We have a motion to 2nd any further discussion or questions for Mr. Lieber at this point. 00:11:08
All in favor, aye? 00:11:14
Aye, aye. 00:11:16
All right. 00:11:22
And we'll look for similar. 00:11:23
Motion to bring forward Floyd County Ordinance, 2025-19. 00:11:27
OK. So I'm not hearing a motion at present. 00:11:35
Is there a concern that we can take back to the health department? 00:11:38
Regards to that. 00:11:41
I'm just. 00:11:44
I'm just wanting to look through this just real quick home last time before. 00:11:44
OK. 00:11:48
Do you know what happens to the money that you collect? 00:11:58
The fees for the pool, do you know what happens? 00:12:03
To that money. 00:12:07
And go in a certain fund. 00:12:09
Or. 00:12:11
That would be Charlotte knows a little bit more about the finances. If you didn't know, that's fine. 00:12:12
I didn't know if you were aware of it. I'm not sure which one. My concern is that we're feeding people to death out here. So 00:12:16
right. 00:12:20
That's my only concern. 00:12:24
And so we, like I said, we tried to build it, we calculated the average cost and that's just if we test it once, we could go out 00:12:25
and have to test it twice. 00:12:29
And the cost of supplies has only gone up. So that's. 00:12:33
Follow up, we figured it's about 37 bucks. 00:12:35
That's what $13 room for buffer for price increases. 00:12:38
Yeah, that was the main concern, I think we calculated. 00:12:42
At least. 00:12:46
$1000 last year. 00:12:48
Just in supplies. 00:12:50
If not more because we just. 00:12:52
Based on doing testing, 1 per follow up visit. 00:12:54
You know my thoughts on this is. 00:12:58
I understand the public pools. I understand the hotel pools. 00:13:01
And I I kind of understand the semi private pool, but I have a real problem with sending people on the people's private property. 00:13:05
To do these types of inspections I would just like a little more. 00:13:12
Any of those, like I said, in the area? 00:13:15
It would be something where if they. 00:13:18
We haven't had to address it yet because we just did a survey. 00:13:20
To see if the Airbnb is. 00:13:23
Would require follow-ups and none of them do. 00:13:25
So this doesn't really affect anybodies private. 00:13:30
Who in their yard? 00:13:33
It would only be like in that instance, it would only be. 00:13:35
If they. 00:13:38
You know, we see, hey, there's an Airbnb and we've only surveyed them. 00:13:39
Once or twice to see. 00:13:43
And just determine that there's not really anybody that we know of an area doing that. 00:13:45
And so it would only be if they're operating. 00:13:50
As the like the Airbnb or VRBO. 00:13:52
But to our knowledge, we don't have any. 00:13:55
OK, I'll make a motion to. 00:13:57
Accept the ordinance. 00:14:01
20/25/19 then as written. 00:14:03
With unanimous consent. 00:14:07
With unanimous consent, then I'll second. 00:14:08
Thank you. 00:14:10
I have a motion and a second. 00:14:11
All in favor. 00:14:14
Aye, aye, aye. 00:14:15
All right. Thank you. I think you had one. 00:14:17
Other item. 00:14:20
On the off chance that you might want to go somewhere else, I'm going to go ahead and bump you up to the next tier on the. 00:14:22
MOU agreement with Clark County Health Department. 00:14:29
Yes. So State Department of Health provides us with what's called an XRF lead paint analyzer. 00:14:31
So it's like a little gun we walk up to the wall, we can test to see if there's a presence of lead paint. 00:14:36
We would do this once we get involved with the child with the elevated blood lead level. 00:14:41
And they give it to us at no cost. But part of it is. 00:14:45
We can house it at the health department, but if any surrounding counties need to use it, we have to let them use it. And part of 00:14:49
MOU with the state is we have to have an MOU with that account. 00:14:53
And Clark County has been the only one that's wanting to borrow this book. 00:14:59
OK. Any questions regarding that? 00:15:02
Proposed MOU? No, I'll make the motion to approve the MOU. 00:15:06
Yeah, I second that. 00:15:09
All in favor, aye? 00:15:11
Thank you. Thank you for your time. Thanks. 00:15:13
Anthem. 00:15:15
All right, at this point, we're going to be accepting bids on the Floyd County Government Center. 00:15:17
We're going to be opening those and cataloging those. Do we have anyone else in the? 00:15:23
Room tonight. Who would like to submit a bid at this hour? 00:15:29
OK. 00:15:33
Alright. 00:15:37
This one does not have 4. 00:15:40
It looks like it. 00:15:42
That's the mystery one. 00:15:44
Like there might be a couple Mr. Rings. I'll I'll let you know as soon as opening here. 00:15:47
So the very first bid is from. 00:15:51
Overflow Service LLC is that Overflow Service LLC? 00:15:56
I don't see. 00:16:01
It's not flagged. 00:16:09
Should probably have them like have. 00:16:27
One red sheet. 00:16:29
That we can pull out there that has the flag. Yeah. I don't see a flag. 00:16:31
All right, so. 00:16:47
Again, that was overflow. 00:16:49
Service LLC. 00:16:51
For $471,599. 00:16:53
Sure. 00:17:06
This is from Overflow Service LLC as well. 00:17:27
OK, must have got 2 coffees. Yeah, yeah. 00:17:31
It is for the same price, yeah. 00:17:41
Segment. 00:17:43
Total three bids. 00:17:45
The most recent? 00:17:50
Next bit is from Shire. 00:17:53
All right, Shire Minute. 00:18:51
$415,000. 00:18:53
And the final bit is from Martin Construction Company. 00:19:05
Give this job to get the biggest thumbs, yeah? 00:19:35
Really like the suspense. 00:19:39
This accomplished drum roll. 00:19:42
I can't. 00:19:51
6. 00:19:58
Yeah, I know. 00:20:04
All right, $399,000. 00:20:26
For. 00:20:29
Yeah. 00:20:32
All right. I'll look for a motion to take these under advisement, so moved. 00:20:37
Second, all in favor? 00:20:41
All right. Thank you very much. 00:20:44
Forward to. 00:20:47
We're using those greater detail. 00:20:50
Chief Operations Officer Nick Creeby. 00:20:53
Good evening. 00:20:57
I have an allowance adjustment for the red wire building. 00:20:58
This is adjustment #2. 00:21:02
This was reviewed and approved. 00:21:05
By the Redevelopment Commission earlier today, the amount is an additional $8519. 00:21:07
This is accounted for in the contingency expenses for the project. 00:21:16
Looking for your approval for that. 00:21:21
Make a motion for approval on. 00:21:26
The allowance adjustment for. 00:21:28
Sharman on Nova Park. 00:21:31
I'll second. 00:21:33
I have a motion and a second. All in favor, aye. 00:21:34
Aye, aye. 00:21:37
Thank you. 00:21:39
All right, a community corrections director. 00:21:42
Is rice here or I've told him I would take care of it. He had. 00:21:45
Somewhere else to be today. 00:21:48
Basically community corrections. 00:21:51
Is umm. 00:21:55
Looking for permission to carry their firearms in the judicial building. 00:21:57
And apparently that's been the. 00:22:03
Way that they've done it in the past, whenever they change employees, they want to update that list. 00:22:08
So this resolution. 00:22:14
Just allows them to continue to carry their firearms in the judicial building. 00:22:17
And they need our approval and it's an updated list of employees. 00:22:23
So I'll make a motion for approval of the resolution 20/25/17. 00:22:27
For community corrections, I'll second. 00:22:33
Motion is second all in favor, aye. 00:22:35
Aye, all right, that passes as well. 00:22:38
Does anyone hear from the Sheriff's Department tonight on this MOU? 00:22:42
Stan, you want to. 00:22:48
I mean, it's pretty straightforward. I could also. You're already halfway here though, so I'll, I'll let you. 00:22:50
This, this was the exploration. 00:23:01
Excuse me of trying to head off some of the expenses for pretrial inmates that are housed in the Floyd County Jail. Medical 00:23:04
expenses. 00:23:08
I spoke with Mr. Fox. You had asked me to reach out to assured partners, which I did. 00:23:12
It seems as if it was been a significant period. 00:23:18
Ago umm. 00:23:21
They've kind of pushed it off. 00:23:22
Time and time again they asked me to send them the HP Freedom packet that we received. 00:23:24
So that they could construct something that would resemble. 00:23:30
What HP was offering. 00:23:34
We still the Sheriff's Office, as far as I know is still not heard anything back. 00:23:37
At this particular point. 00:23:41
And I think that Sheriff Bush's request here tonight is to. 00:23:43
Request other commissioners to allow him to go ahead and sign this MOU. 00:23:47
It's of no financial. 00:23:52
Our lengthy obligation. I think Mr. Fox could attest to that. 00:23:54
On behalf of the Fort County Sheriff's Office nor the Floyd County. 00:23:58
Commissioners or Floyd County government? 00:24:02
It's an obligation, more so on behalf of. 00:24:05
HP Freedom. 00:24:10
They are just. 00:24:11
Assisting us with the application process. 00:24:12
So that inmates could pretrial inmates could apply for. 00:24:15
Medical insurance. 00:24:20
Which could be applied. 00:24:22
To their incarceration period up to the point of where they become sentenced. 00:24:23
They will also be allowed to carry this insurance into. 00:24:29
Their regular life or normal life upon. 00:24:33
Release so sheriff is just. 00:24:36
I believe he's just asking for the. 00:24:38
Ability to just sign this so that we could get something in place. 00:24:40
To move forward in this process. 00:24:45
So do you know? 00:24:48
Who's paying for that? 00:24:51
The pretrial inmate. 00:24:53
Or. 00:24:54
Soft Medicaid or who? 00:24:56
Yeah, it apparently there is a gap in. 00:24:59
Obamacare. Yeah, that allows this. 00:25:03
Process to operate officially. 00:25:07
For pre trials. 00:25:10
Because obviously once they become incarcerated, they lose Medicare, Medicaid, they just completely goes away. 00:25:11
But there's a gap that apparently HP Freedom has identified. 00:25:17
A legal gap that has allowed them the opportunity to offer or accept an application for. 00:25:21
And if they qualify and I'm not sure what the qualifications are. 00:25:27
It will allow pre trial inmates. 00:25:31
Accept this coverage. 00:25:34
And then again they are evaluated based on their income status if there is any type of a. 00:25:35
Copay. 00:25:41
Monthly premium. 00:25:43
What I've been assured by Larry Covington of HP Freedom is. 00:25:44
That that in 99% of the cases is a 0 cost to the inmates. 00:25:48
So. 00:25:54
The obvious advantage here is with the hospital expiring, the contract expiring we're. 00:25:56
The Sheriff's Office will have to pick up the. 00:26:01
Medical costs. 00:26:05
For that, and this also helped cover pharmaceuticals. 00:26:06
So if we were to hit, you know, some. 00:26:10
Heavy priced pharmaceuticals. 00:26:13
That we couldn't get mitigated down this insurance could also. 00:26:15
Shore up some of those expenses. 00:26:20
OK. Thank you. 00:26:23
Thank you for that information and. 00:26:24
I'll make a motion that we approve the MOU with. 00:26:26
HP Freedom. 00:26:31
I'll second. 00:26:33
Motion is second all in favor, aye. 00:26:34
Thank you very much. Thanks, Dan. 00:26:37
Jason, did you want to take an introduction? 00:26:41
Yeah. 00:26:43
Mr. Main, can you come up to the podium? 00:26:44
Yes, Sir. 00:26:46
So as many of you may or may not have known. 00:26:50
Our longtime friend and road department Superintendent Ronnie Tool has. 00:26:53
Retired and. 00:26:58
You know, uh, uh. 00:27:00
We've hired a new. 00:27:01
Road Superintendent, and that is. 00:27:03
Mr. Main, Mr. Main, would you like to introduce yourself to? 00:27:05
The people fully can. 00:27:08
My name is Sydney, Maine. 00:27:09
I don't know a whole lot to tell you about this. 00:27:12
My wife from New Albany, that's how I ended up here. 00:27:17
Like, you know, it's not in the contract that you have to come to these meetings. 00:27:21
No, Sir, but I think. 00:27:25
Well, it's good to see you and you know you've had. 00:27:28
10 days on the job now. 00:27:30
14-6 days in the seat yesterday since last Monday. 00:27:32
Alright, alright. 00:27:36
Well, winter is coming. 00:27:38
Winter's go. 00:27:39
Can't wait. You can't. 00:27:41
All right. Thank you for helping me. 00:27:44
It's all opportunity to put a face with a name, so it's all opportunity you're on. 00:27:45
Your live stream so you can turn around, smile to the camera. 00:27:50
Sell some pesticides. 00:27:57
Any board and committee reports tonight? 00:28:00
All right. I'll look for approval of Commissioners meeting minutes for July 1, 2025. 00:28:04
So moved. 00:28:10
Second all in favor, aye. 00:28:11
Aye, and approval of payroll and claims as submitted by the Auditor's office. 00:28:14
Earlier in the week. 00:28:18
Motion to approve. 00:28:20
Have a motion to approve. 00:28:21
Second. Second. All in favor. 00:28:24
Aye, aye, All right. Our next meeting will be Tuesday, August 5th, 2025 at 6:00 PM. Do we have any government officials who would 00:28:26
like to make public comment tonight? 00:28:30
Real. 00:28:36
All right, slow Newsday. 00:28:38
Go to public comment. We had one. 00:28:40
Susan Lockhart. 00:28:44
And I don't. 00:28:49
Do we have anybody else who'd like to speak tonight for the show of hands? 00:28:50
We'll give you 4 minutes. And how's that? I don't know if you guys are who I need to address. This is about the Floyd County Solid 00:28:55
Waste Management. 00:29:00
Decision that was made last week. 00:29:04
And I had, I had some questions on that. 00:29:08
OK. So this is not Q&A, this is a public. 00:29:11
Meeting. If you'd like to have QA with any of us afterwards, we're happy to hang around to do that. 00:29:14
The commissioners already voted in favor of dissolution of that. 00:29:19
So we will not be voting on that again. 00:29:23
For another 180 some odd days. 00:29:25
The council had a preliminary vote. 00:29:28
In favor of dissolution, they have another second vote that will be taking place. This. 00:29:31
Friday, correct? 00:29:35
At the 10:00. 00:29:37
Joint meeting in this room. 00:29:39
So there will probably be time for public comment before that vote. Well, I do have a public comment and that is. 00:29:41
If there was no comparison. 00:29:49
To a new company. 00:29:52
My. 00:29:55
Statement is. 00:29:57
There was no way to make a value proposition. 00:29:59
If you don't have anything to base it on. 00:30:03
It seems like I know there's apple to oranges comparison. 00:30:06
But if you have apple to air. 00:30:10
Comparison. 00:30:12
There was no other There was no one to compare the prices, products and services with. 00:30:14
And I'm thinking that. 00:30:21
You can't bring in a new company. 00:30:24
And compare it to the old company. 00:30:27
Unless there's something to compare it to. 00:30:29
And also was wondering when are the open bids? 00:30:33
Going to be put on the website so we can see those. 00:30:37
Because it's it's not. 00:30:42
Our meeting will wrap in a minute. I'm happy to sit down and talk with you about those questions. That might be the best thing and 00:30:45
also, you know, when there is a full. 00:30:49
Commissioners meeting like there was last week. 00:30:54
That that would be a good. 00:30:57
Good time to maybe have some more questions at that point. 00:30:59
But yeah, I can stick around. 00:31:03
I have some questions. 00:31:04
All right. 00:31:06
No one knows for public comment tonight. 00:31:08
I'll look for a motion to adjourn, so moved. 00:31:11
2nd. 00:31:13
All right. 00:31:22
