Have you seen pictures of my grandfather? 00:00:00
So I'll now call to order the Floyd County Council meeting for Tuesday, March 10th, 2026. 00:00:02
Please rise for the Pledge of Allegiance. 00:00:07
Why do I delete this flag? 00:00:11
The United States. America. 00:00:13
And to the Republic for which it stands. 00:00:15
One nation under God. 00:00:18
Indivisible with liberty and justice for all. 00:00:20
All right, let the record show that we have six of seven council members here this evening. 00:00:25
Mr. Bagshaw, would you lead us in a prayer? Yes, let's pray, please. Oh Lord God of heaven, we thank you today that we live in 00:00:31
this land of this great land called America. 00:00:35
Where we have freedom and liberty, we would never want to lose our gratitude for our freedom and liberty. 00:00:40
Or always asked to be with our soldiers, sailors, airmen, marine as they serve. 00:00:45
Around the world is defending freedom, especially those serving in. 00:00:50
Yeah, then the Middle East at this time, keep them from harm's way, be with our first responders. 00:00:54
A police or fire EMS keep them safe as they keep us safe. 00:01:00
Or. 00:01:05
Give us wisdom for this meeting tonight that we can make. 00:01:06
Prudent choices for the betterment of our community. Make wise choices. 00:01:09
That we can and thank you that we're all my peers on this body are. 00:01:13
Our servant leaders that were willing to serve the public. Lord, we ask all these things in your name, Amen. 00:01:18
Yeah, alright. 00:01:23
Acceptance of tonight's agenda. We will be. 00:01:26
Shuffling some things, but the. 00:01:29
What is on the agenda won't change. We're just going to shuffle some. 00:01:32
Some of the. 00:01:38
Around make motion we accept. 00:01:39
2nd, we have a motion a second any discussion on our agenda. 00:01:41
All in favor say aye. Any opposed? 00:01:46
It's not carried. 00:01:49
Approval of minutes from February 10th. 00:01:51
So move second. 00:01:53
Motion in a second. 00:01:55
For the minutes, any discussion on those? 00:01:56
All in favor say aye. 00:02:00
Aye, any opposed? 00:02:01
That carries. 00:02:03
We will now open the public hearing for our additional appropriations tonight. Is there anyone from the public who would like to 00:02:04
speak on those? 00:02:08
Seeing none, we will now close the public. 00:02:14
Hearing on additional appropriations. 00:02:17
We will move to. 00:02:20
New business we're going to start with #2. 00:02:22
And then we're going to jump to 10, I believe, and then we'll get back in line. 00:02:25
So Stanley is up. 00:02:29
1st thank you very much for the the shuffle. 00:02:33
Thank you, I really appreciate it. 00:02:36
Actually, it would be two, eight and 1028 please. 00:02:38
Yep, whatever you need to do. Well, thank you very much. I appreciate the latitude of the. 00:02:41
The first couple are just some requests. The first 12A is additional appropriation set for the solid waste operational side of the 00:02:47
house. 00:02:52
I don't have a whole lot of their previous history. I tried to come up with some generalized numbers. This is just a foundation to 00:02:58
get us moving into. 00:03:02
2026 with solid waste on board. We are now processing. 00:03:07
Diane and her team are helping us. We're getting all these invoices processed, getting them caught back up. 00:03:11
For solid waste. 00:03:19
We're just moving forward. I think we had a really good first payroll. It seemed like. It seemed like it went pretty. 00:03:20
Pretty well without any major blips, so. 00:03:26
I think our foundation is starting to pull together. This is just building the operational side of it, so we have the 00:03:29
appropriations to move forward. 00:03:33
Move the Pro 2A. 00:03:39
2nd, we have a motion a second, any questions for staying on these? 00:03:41
So this comes out of the solid waste. 00:03:46
Fern This is an independent fund that was created by the Council. What I the intentions for year one is the. 00:03:49
Solid waste when it was a district had a. 00:03:55
I know he's been flying. He's been, yeah, he's been flying around in here. 00:04:00
I'm a little allergic so I'm sorry. 00:04:03
I maybe put him on a string or facilities. 00:04:06
I'm sorry. Yeah. Where is Donna? 00:04:09
He's actually his father-in-law's birthday party tonight, so yeah, well, I'll take it up with him in the morning. 00:04:11
The the the solid waste or the solid waste consolidation, they actually have a money market account and a checking account that. 00:04:18
Has approximately 185,000 in cash. We are going to consolidate those funds. 00:04:24
Bring that over and deposit that into the 401 three fund. 00:04:29
So this will come out of this will come out of that. 00:04:33
Yes, that's correct. Yes, Sir. OK. 00:04:35
All right. Any other discussion on 2A? 00:04:38
All in favor say aye. 00:04:42
Aye, any opposed? 00:04:43
That carries. 00:04:45
2B These are the appropriations of. 00:04:47
Out of county general for the salaries for the director, the office manager and in the part time employees that are currently. 00:04:50
Working at the solid waste districts right now. 00:04:57
This is just setting again the foundation for. 00:05:00
Forward balance of 2026 the Director of salary. 00:05:05
I think David makes. 00:05:09
22 and some change so it's right at $46,000 a year. Take off the first four pay periods and. 00:05:10
This 40,000 get us to the end. 00:05:17
The office manager, Carrie, she's part time. That's a. 00:05:20
A little bit high, but it's. 00:05:23
Pretty much with her being part time, we don't know what the flexible hours for her going to be. 00:05:25
She's at. 00:05:31
I think it was a $22.00 an hour. 00:05:33
Or she's $700.00 a pay period. I'm sorry. 00:05:36
And then the other employees, it looks like the first payroll was about $4000 for the other part time employees. 00:05:39
So that extrapolates out to about 88,000 if they still maintain the same. 00:05:46
Number of work hours as they have in pay period 1 here but. 00:05:51
Obviously fluctuations come throughout the year, so. 00:05:56
The 85,000 is a good target. 00:05:59
To hit again. 00:06:02
Building the foundation for moving forward with a solid waste. 00:06:03
Salaries. 00:06:07
I'll make a motion for 2B. 00:06:10
2nd. 00:06:13
Stan, these are, this is part of what we moved at the joint meeting, right? 00:06:14
Both A&B are representative of the consensus from the joint meeting. 00:06:21
Skittish. Now I do have a question. Yes, Sir. 00:06:25
The money we appropriated. 00:06:29
Through edit for solid waste. Where's that? Where's that going to go back to edit and it just. 00:06:31
That's not a question for me. 00:06:36
It's quite money the. 00:06:38
Hasn't been unappropriated. It's still currently in that line until. 00:06:40
The. 00:06:44
Well, I think the question was that that. 00:06:49
Yeah, we had was. 00:06:51
We we approved a budget of 400. 00:06:52
1004 and plus. 00:06:55
In edit for solid waste. Now you're asking. 00:06:57
Use it out general fund. 00:07:00
The 400,000 is there to it was appropriated out the other fund. 00:07:02
It'll be maintained there. 00:07:07
We were going to pay the HHW contract out of that money, which is about. 00:07:10
I think it was 38 to 45,000. I forget to. 00:07:14
The the final. 00:07:17
Agreed upon or contract amount. 00:07:20
Within the balance of that. 00:07:24
It remains in the other fund. I was hoping maybe some latitude with assaults and. 00:07:26
Our salt barns are suffering and we had to order $400,000 worth of salt. I was going to come back and ask it later in the year for 00:07:31
additionals, but if. 00:07:35
If the latitude is granted. 00:07:39
Or considerations grant later in the year, maybe we. 00:07:41
I would probably bring to your request a. 00:07:44
Reallocate some of those funds to cover the SoC costs out of the edit fund, not having to go from any other fund. 00:07:47
Again, it's going to remain there. It's not going to be used for anything else without your permission. 00:07:53
Yeah, I guess, I told Danny. 00:07:58
Danny, now I have coffee. 00:08:00
The week of the meeting. 00:08:02
And I said. 00:08:03
Since I've been on this body. 00:08:04
Anything that starts with 1000. 00:08:06
Is the one I look at. 00:08:09
Because that's the general fund. 00:08:10
Other. 00:08:12
Well, he likes you. You got some kind of calling or something on there? 00:08:13
And. 00:08:16
So the other, I know a lot of the other departments are going to be here tonight. Their grant funds, they're this, they're that, 00:08:18
but the general fund. 00:08:20
That's the one I. 00:08:23
Pat's closest attention to SO. 00:08:26
If we budgeted money and edit for solid waste. 00:08:28
Personally I think it still should stay with solid waste. 00:08:32
That's just me. 00:08:36
Right. Well, I think that's right. I mean, while we wouldn't pull money out of the general fund, when you get funds sitting over 00:08:37
here now, now we're already talking about real. 00:08:41
Reallocating that to some other project that was never even. 00:08:45
Put in the budget, why would we want to do that? 00:08:49
That's just me. 00:08:51
Yeah. So saying, are you saying if if we? 00:08:54
Have you pulled this from edit that you'll be back to ask for money from General for salt? 00:08:59
More than likely, yeah. 00:09:04
It's it just? Yeah. 00:09:05
So did we not budget properly for salt? The cold weather messed this up? No, the price of salt went up. 00:09:10
It was $109,000 a $109 a ton. That's going to 120. 00:09:16
Dollars a ton, we ordered. 00:09:21
44000 tons. We ordered 3000 of treated 2000 or 1000 of untreated. The final bill came to 425,000. 00:09:23
We just put the bid in for. We just end up Idola just opened up the bid for 2627. 00:09:33
We have to have that in by the end of this month, actually. 00:09:41
So we're going to put a request in for another 400,000. Both of our salt barns are down to just 600 tons each in each barn right 00:09:44
now. 00:09:48
So. 00:09:52
We're just trying to maintain, make sure that we have enough salt on hand for the snow events or these winter ice events that that 00:09:53
transfer down. 00:09:57
But the cost next year is estimated to go to $120.00 per ton for the treated and 110 for the for the untreated so. 00:10:01
That puts us. 00:10:09
Well, we actually cut our order back to three 3500 tons. 00:10:10
So it puts our order at about. 00:10:15
For right at 400,000. 00:10:17
And we've had very good luck in the. 00:10:20
Previous years except. 00:10:23
I think it was 2425. 00:10:25
Really took a hit, so that's kind of why. 00:10:27
The salt issues come up and then with everything hitting the North like they're out of salt right now, This. 00:10:30
The state of Indiana has no salt that they can chip down. 00:10:35
To us at all. So we're hoping not to have to exhaust our. 00:10:38
Our barns and have to enter into some kind of agreement with. 00:10:41
Local vendor because their prices were probably more than double so. 00:10:46
Again, it's a Mother Nature call. 00:10:50
But. 00:10:52
We just got to play by here and see how how it all plays out. 00:10:55
Again. 00:10:57
We can always readdress these concerns if you so desire at the budget time. 00:10:58
We were just trying to find the pathway to get through 2026. 00:11:04
With a consolidation of the solid waste district. 00:11:07
OK. 00:11:11
Any further discussion on this one? 00:11:16
All in favor say aye. Any opposed? 00:11:21
Aye, that carries. 00:11:24
Thank you. 00:11:27
To see this is the presentation that was made at the joint the joint meeting by the. 00:11:29
Economic The small business, Economic development. 00:11:35
Committee. 00:11:38
They were trying to. They were asking for. 00:11:39
Donation or donation funding? Yes, Sir. Thank you. 00:11:43
So this is the. 00:11:49
Will be advertised for the 15,000. Now the riverboat. Does everybody recall this? Yep. 00:11:50
I make a motion for 2C. 00:11:55
2nd, I have motion a second. Any further discussion? 00:11:56
All in favor say aye aye. 00:12:01
Any opposed? 00:12:03
That carries. 00:12:05
Thank you. 00:12:06
2D This is the redevelopment fund. 00:12:08
The attorney fees. 00:12:12
Have. 00:12:14
Been approved by the Redevelopment Commission. 00:12:16
Yeah, Redevelopment Commission and they've exceeded the 7500 that we normally allocate during the budget process. 00:12:21
The fund has approximately, uh, actually it's showing 11. 00:12:28
It's right at $11,000 of cash in there. This 10,000 covers at $2000 shortage. 00:12:32
That the professional services line is already exhausted. 00:12:38
So it'll leave a current balance in that fund of about $3000. 00:12:42
We just want to. 00:12:46
I want to charge. 00:12:47
The proper the appropriate find for. 00:12:48
The legal fees as they are being incurred and this is just using the funds that are available in the redevelopment fund. 00:12:51
To pay for their legal services. 00:12:58
That's the redevelopment fund. 00:13:01
Yes, Sir. Yes, Sir. Yeah, we've had some issues out there at the old gym. 00:13:04
Getting that. 00:13:08
Repair. 00:13:10
Straightened out and it's. 00:13:13
It's been a. 00:13:14
Illegal legal mess round, round and round so. 00:13:16
Yes, right. 00:13:19
Is there a motion for D? 00:13:22
I make a motion. We approve the. 00:13:27
2nd, we have the motion a second. Any further questions or discussion? 00:13:29
Stan, what's our anticipated continued legal fees out of this fund? So if we're only down to 3000, obviously we're going to have 00:13:33
more legal fees, right? 00:13:37
Yes, yes. 00:13:41
Normally what we'll do if in the event they incur obviously additional fees, we paid out the other funds. 00:13:43
OK. 00:13:48
All in favor of D say aye. 00:13:51
Aye, any opposed? 00:13:53
That carries. 00:13:55
Let's see E. 00:14:00
This is all stormwater. This is a request to 1st. 00:14:02
$75,000 in professional fees so. 00:14:06
There are three main contributors on the Under the Stormwater board that they offer contracts to at Stantec Consulting, Heritage 00:14:09
Engineering and OHM. 00:14:13
The the the Stormwater board enters into an agreement with these vendors or. 00:14:19
Advisors. 00:14:24
And. 00:14:27
Actually I just under appropriate under budgeted in 2020. 00:14:28
For 2026. 00:14:32
I think the the pathway moving forward and again, a lot of this is I'm learning this job as we're going through this, but. 00:14:35
If I can get. 00:14:41
With a stormwater board as when we enter into the budget process. 00:14:42
Determine what the awarded contracts are for these three vendors. 00:14:46
And then determine based on the negotiated salary. 00:14:50
Hourly rate and then the negotiated hours. 00:14:54
That they anticipate to use will be I'll be able to come up with a much more solidified. 00:14:56
Budget During the budget process, again, this was. 00:15:01
My shortcoming? 00:15:04
But that's been a great learning experience for me to figure out how all these pieces are falling together and slowly but surely 00:15:05
they they, they are. 00:15:09
Again, I'm underappropriated by 70. 00:15:12
Right now it's 70. 00:15:15
$5000. 00:15:16
Also I think the storm water board on top of the. 00:15:18
The the engineering fees. 00:15:22
They also awarded a. 00:15:24
Are the stormwater boards said that they would allow 25,000 to be used for the Paoli Pike? 00:15:26
Tile replacement project. 00:15:31
Which is going to be right at $25,000. So that's incorporated into this request as well. 00:15:33
I did a forecast on solid waste it appears right now based on year end. 00:15:39
Expected revenues and this doesn't take into account the the the increase in the. 00:15:45
The the rates. 00:15:49
They're expected to land about $540,000. 00:15:51
To the good in that particular cash balance of that particular fund, so. 00:15:56
This would bring that down to. 00:16:00
Just under $470,000 of available cash that. 00:16:02
Could be appropriated for other future projects. 00:16:06
How the storm? 00:16:08
Motion approved. 00:16:13
What's that 52 E? 00:16:14
To eat 2nd I have a motion and a second for 2 E Any further discussion should this be? 00:16:17
Listed as. 00:16:23
Contractual services if it's contracts. 00:16:25
Well, their engineering and consulting, so I. 00:16:28
I mean we what are they under contract, convention contract? 00:16:32
Yeah, these three different vendors. 00:16:35
I think it's just it's, it's maybe it's nitpicking, Yeah. And I may have missed services. 00:16:37
I'm not so sure it's like. 00:16:42
Contract they enter or it's it's just an agreement that they say, OK, we're going to allow you. 00:16:43
We we choose you to do these evaluations as engineers to. 00:16:48
They help us move forward with determining workable projects. It's kind of a big deal. 00:16:52
OK. 00:16:56
That help a little bit. 00:16:58
It's not actually a contract then. 00:17:01
Because my question would have been, why do we enter into those contracts before budgets are approved? I guess it's more of an, 00:17:04
it's more of a. 00:17:06
It's a platform for an agreement. 00:17:10
We're going to use these organizations. This is what we're going to pay for an hour as project pop up. For example, even this 00:17:11
Paley Pike tile project. 00:17:15
It wasn't anticipated in the study, but. 00:17:19
We recent. 00:17:21
The Stormwater Board reached out to one of these. 00:17:22
Engineering consultants to determine what. 00:17:24
What it took to replace and fix the problem at Paley Pike so. 00:17:27
It's not a contract as far as a set amount, it's a. 00:17:35
It's a contract to saying we're going to do business with you and like you said, at a certain hourly rate or it's kind of the same 00:17:37
thing we do with vaporility. 00:17:41
The contract is probably misstatement. My apologies. All right. Any further questions? 00:17:45
All in favor of 2 E say aye. 00:17:50
Aye. 00:17:53
Any opposed? 00:17:53
That carries. 00:17:55
2F This is the. 00:17:56
Grantland Rd. Building. 00:17:59
So we had this. It was on the agenda last. 00:18:01
Last month and there were some things on there that populated that. 00:18:04
It it kind of puzzled me a little bit, so I I think I sent out a really. 00:18:08
Defined overview of how the charges were being levied. 00:18:11
So tower painter. 00:18:15
Well, first of all, this request is for professional services and it's not. 00:18:17
Moving forward right now with professional services, what I want to do is square this fund up. 00:18:22
I had some charges in. 00:18:26
A couple different funds, one of them I think they all identified if I remember correctly, Sir. 00:18:28
Was office equipment well? 00:18:32
The previous. 00:18:34
Harris description of that particular line. 00:18:36
Was. 00:18:39
Neil's gonna forget it. 00:18:42
It wasn't. 00:18:43
Office furniture. 00:18:44
It was something else. So when you look at the description that. 00:18:45
From Harris. 00:18:48
Then you bring up loud. 00:18:50
Who has sometimes completely different descriptions of a pay lens. 00:18:52
You get a convoluted evaluation. 00:18:57
That was that was probably my fault for not digging into it at that time, but hopefully it explained it in the e-mail that went 00:18:59
out to each of you. 00:19:03
What this request is, is to move all of the. 00:19:06
Previous expenses with the blessing of the auditor. 00:19:09
Into the professional services land so that we can truly and agritly reflect. 00:19:11
Tire painters. 00:19:16
Charges for the balance of this year as professional services. 00:19:18
And then obviously any additional expenses will be negotiated out of this fund, will negotiate between the parties themselves. 00:19:22
The Commissioners and the Council so. 00:19:29
Just trying to get this cleaned up. 00:19:32
So that we can accurately reflect. 00:19:33
What? 00:19:35
Charges. 00:19:36
Belong where? 00:19:37
And this will be paid out of them. 00:19:40
225 Band. 00:19:41
This is paid out of the ban right now. Yes, that's correct. 00:19:43
And that's the correct. 00:19:46
Balance is going to be left. 00:19:47
Yeah, yes, that is correct. 00:19:49
Yes, Sir. 00:19:51
The only thing you paid out of there would be any consulting fees for Tire Pinkster. 00:19:52
Pay the band. 00:19:58
The payment out of that in any utilities right now just to keep the facility. 00:19:59
From having any issues? 00:20:04
And keeping it. 00:20:06
So there's 250. Is that a uh. 00:20:11
A good estimate to have. 00:20:13
What's gonna cost for engineering fees and. 00:20:15
Now, now we just we just entered, we just got the agreement. I think you you. 00:20:18
I think was discussed during the joint meeting. 00:20:23
If I remember right. 00:20:27
The first accepted bid. 00:20:29
Got rejected because it was some technical or legal issues. So the second bid right now is $2.9 million. 00:20:31
I'm I'm not sure where it's all going to land. We're working. 00:20:39
With that company to try to scale back a little bit if we can. If it's not plausible, I think Doctor Harris will make sure and let 00:20:43
us know that that's not what they want to do. And then we're going to have to kind of figure out number one. 00:20:49
What are the funding options? Because with 1.67. 00:20:55
You gotta. 00:20:58
$2.9 million construction. 00:20:59
Bid that's in place. 00:21:02
You have to come up with some ideas on how you want to. 00:21:04
To move forward with this particular project. 00:21:07
Sounds like we might have skill back the uh. 00:21:11
Bid a little bit. 00:21:13
I'm sorry, sounds like we're the skill back the bid a little bit. 00:21:15
It there's a lot of options, I think a lot of discussion needs to occur for sure. I'd hate to commit and say that that's the best 00:21:20
option. 00:21:23
I think if we sit down. 00:21:28
Collectively in. 00:21:30
We discussed. 00:21:31
What the options are, I think I can help a little bit with the financial side of the things, but. 00:21:32
Take a look at what options are there. 00:21:36
And then you and the Commission, the Council and the Commissioners can make the best educated decision to move forward. 00:21:38
OK. 00:21:45
I guess for further discussion purposes I'll make a motion to approve 2F. 00:21:50
2nd. 00:21:56
Stan your. 00:21:58
You don't know that it's gonna be 250. You just wanna set this up. 00:22:00
So we can secure the building properly in the time being. Well, the. 00:22:04
So there's already utilities land set up, so this is just to take. 00:22:09
And move the tire Pinkster invoices that have previously been paid and put them into this particular fund. 00:22:13
And as we engage in any additional consulting fees? 00:22:18
Whether it's for, I guess it'd be tire painter. 00:22:21
We we have the latitude to go ahead and make sure that our vendors get paid time. 00:22:24
At anytime, if I might say anytime you need an overview of the expenses that have come out of there. 00:22:31
Obviously you can reach out to Diane and her team or. 00:22:36
I have full access to it as well. She's Grammy. The view access. I can provide the data. 00:22:38
For you to take a look at any invoice that goes out of there. 00:22:43
However you'd like to. 00:22:47
No. And it's a county asset, right And I want to make sure that until we decide well. 00:22:49
What's happening and how we're proceeding that? 00:22:53
That it's protected as best as possible, That's one, absolutely. 00:22:56
Absolutely. Yes, Sir. 00:22:59
Anything else? 00:23:05
No, all in favor of 2F say aye. 00:23:07
Aye, any opposed? 00:23:11
That carries. 00:23:14
OK. Well, again, thank you for the latitude here. 00:23:15
Gonna move forward #8. 00:23:19
So #8 is an interlocal agreement with the Town of Greenville. 00:23:23
The Planning Commission obviously has entered into an agreement. It's a, it's a. 00:23:28
Two year ongoing internal local agreement. 00:23:33
Every two years this is presented to the commissioners and the council to make sure that they're still participating in this 00:23:35
agreement, what we do in Floyd County. 00:23:40
Are in the county planning and zoning areas as we provide the services. 00:23:44
To Greenville. 00:23:48
At a nominal cost monthly. 00:23:50
And then the fees that are charged for any permits that are issued. 00:23:52
Based on the the approval of. 00:23:56
Are qualified folks. 00:23:58
To assist the town of Greenville, Who? 00:24:00
Has no resources to do this. 00:24:02
It gives. 00:24:05
It brings a little bit of income into the county. 00:24:06
But it also creates a great partnership for us working with Greenville as they. 00:24:09
Are starting to expand a little bit more each year as well, so. 00:24:15
I make a motion, we accept 8A. 00:24:18
2nd. 00:24:21
Have a motion and 2nd for 8A, any further questions or mentioned stand? So any fees, permit fees and all that comes to the county, 00:24:22
right? Yes, Sir. 00:24:25
OK. Yes, Sir. 00:24:30
Anything else? 00:24:34
All in favor of eight a say aye. 00:24:35
Aye, any opposed? 00:24:38
That carries. 00:24:39
#10 Thank you again, I appreciate the gracious latitude so #10. 00:24:42
Our highway Superintendent, Sidney ME, is here. 00:24:48
This is an item that it took us a little bit of time to kind of work so if. 00:24:51
You probably know more about this maybe than I, but the the road department teachers union has categorized a variety of jobs. 00:24:56
At the Rural Department, there's 3332 arthritis positions. 00:25:03
And they're classified in a variety of different. 00:25:08
Skill based. 00:25:12
Positions so. 00:25:14
What we have is. 00:25:16
We're going back up one quick step. 00:25:18
We are purchasing. 00:25:21
About $1.2 million in upgraded equipment, all of. 00:25:23
Sydney's been battling end of life equipment for a significant amount of time. 00:25:28
So we're looking at trying to. 00:25:33
Upgrade some of the equipment that the road department has to continue to service Floyd County. 00:25:35
In the optimal fashion that we expect Floyd can to be taken care of. 00:25:41
And saying that he had to take. 00:25:45
One of his positions. 00:25:48
And he wanted to upgrade it to a. 00:25:50
From a truck driver labor to a truck driver. 00:25:53
Tractor, truck tractor Mid grade operator. 00:25:57
In doing that. 00:26:01
This is just a classification of one of the authorized positions within the realm of the Teamsters Junior. 00:26:02
What we did? 00:26:08
Sydney did offset this as when he lost his mechanic. 00:26:09
He promoted from within. His new mechanic now is now his fabricator. 00:26:13
So the fabricator position. 00:26:18
Actually is been filled, but that person doesn't do the fabricating jobs, so that salary is a dollar less than what the 00:26:21
fabricator. 00:26:25
Position previously made. 00:26:30
So in saying that. 00:26:32
This position, transfer or conversion. 00:26:34
Is an increase of $0.65 per hour for this person to be eligible to drive the tractors that we're bringing on board? 00:26:37
So there's. 00:26:44
It's just a classification request. It's not a. We're not asking for extra money, we're saving the. 00:26:45
$0.35 per hour, still saving $0.35 per hour. 00:26:50
But we just reallocating it and we're getting a really good handle on all the classifications and who fits in each classification. 00:26:55
And I really appreciate Sydney and Michelle working with me to help me understand this entire complex. 00:27:01
Situation and. 00:27:07
I think. 00:27:09
Future points I'll be able to scrap this. 00:27:10
Much better SO. 00:27:12
I'll make a motion for 10A. 00:27:14
2nd. 00:27:15
We have a motion and a second. Michelle, you all good? 00:27:16
All good. Any further questions or discussion I'll just make a comment so Sydney he don't have to be in a ditch no more and gets 00:27:20
it via operating controls. 00:27:24
Right. He drives truck and he sits up far in the backhoe. 00:27:28
Who's that? You don't have to be in No ***** Labor's in the ditch. 00:27:33
All right. Any further questions? 00:27:39
All in favor of 10A say aye. 00:27:41
Aye, any opposed? 00:27:43
That carries. 00:27:45
Thank you. 00:27:48
I think that's it. 00:27:48
Never go back. 00:27:50
Thank you very much. I appreciate. Thank you. Have a good day, Sam. 00:27:51
All right, we have Diana. 00:27:57
She has a couple additional appropriation requests. They're all in grant funds. 00:28:03
So we have. 00:28:10
1A, which is a request for an additional appropriation in her Family Court grant. 00:28:11
That's the entire balance of the fund. Basically, she's looking. 00:28:16
Use the monies that are in her fund. 00:28:20
So 3000. 00:28:23
$0.97 because of dollar $0.97. 00:28:25
ABC. 00:28:30
Are all the same. 00:28:31
It's just allocating the money is in her grant funds so that they can be spent. 00:28:33
There is a little discrepancy in BI. 00:28:37
Well, first of all, I'll make a motion for a. 00:28:39
Or one AB and C. 00:28:42
If you're talking about the discrepancy on C. 00:28:44
She already has. I think it's $250 that are allocated to be spent. 00:28:48
And she's allocating the remainder. 00:28:54
OK, what about the thesis 2307896 and she wants. 00:28:56
23097. 00:29:01
We're going to double check it. 00:29:04
So I guess is. 00:29:07
Are these line items going to stay open? Is she going to get more grants to replenish those? 00:29:08
So the majority of these grants. 00:29:14
Are kind of just. 00:29:17
Most of these are are remaining funds. They're not. 00:29:19
Active. 00:29:22
Grants that have been receiving monies in They're just funds that are. 00:29:24
Hanging out there that need to be spent in the treatment courts that they're applied to. So that's kind of what this is. This is a 00:29:28
lot of its cleanup, which I am actually very appreciative of. 00:29:32
I will say that our while she's checking the balance. 00:29:38
I will say that a lot of our department heads took an initiative last year towards the end of 2025 to find their little funds that 00:29:40
had. 00:29:44
Random remaining balances that had never been spent and get those spent so that we weren't carrying. 00:29:50
$25 in this fund and. 00:29:55
$7.00 in this fund and $0.51 in this fund and. 00:29:57
Into the new year to clean up our funds and that was very much appreciated by my office and by me personally. 00:30:01
I guess. 00:30:09
Question I would ask is. 00:30:10
It's it's your department. 00:30:13
So is that line going to stay open that can be used or it's going to be zeroed out and go away? 00:30:15
Once she spends it, this fund kind of disappears. It will go inactive after a full calendar year of no activity. Meaning no no 00:30:19
fund balance, no in or outs. Then it just gets purged. 00:30:25
It just gets OK. 00:30:31
Turned. 00:30:33
So the 2307896 is the correct fund balance. Let me see what I advertise. 00:30:48
Well, we can only appropriate the fund balance, so. 00:30:59
Right. 00:31:04
So it's it is the 2307896. The actual fund balance is the accurate current fund balance. 00:31:06
So even if we advertise the 2309796, we can only appropriate the the lower number so. 00:31:13
If a motion is made, just motion for the balance of the fund. 00:31:18
Would you like to? 00:31:23
Do you want me to amend? Please do. 00:31:24
I make a motion to approve AB and CB. 00:31:26
Being. 00:31:31
The total balance of the fund. 00:31:32
Thank you. 00:31:34
On who seconded that one. 00:31:36
I did second. 00:31:37
Alright, we have. 00:31:38
A motion, a second for one AB and C Any discussion? 00:31:40
All in favor say aye. 00:31:47
Aye, any opposed? 00:31:48
That carries. 00:31:50
Thank you. 00:31:51
Welcome. 00:32:09
Good evening. 00:32:11
So I'm here once again. I can tell how quickly the year goes because. 00:32:12
I'm like it's time to get my fund appropriated again to give out new grants so. 00:32:16
I'm requesting 51,000 from. 00:32:21
They taught task force. 00:32:25
And if you have any questions about our comprehensive plan or anything, I'll be happy to answer that. 00:32:28
I moved to approve 3A. 00:32:34
2nd. 00:32:35
Motion a second for 3A. Any questions for Rhonda? 00:32:36
Hey, thanks all. 00:32:40
All in favor say aye aye. Any opposed? There you go. There you go. 00:32:42
Health Department. 00:32:51
Doctor, it's just one that amplify a little bit on what Mr. Howell was talking about earlier. We did meet with Tower Pinkston on 00:32:57
the 28th to look at some cost saving measures and so there there'll be undoubtedly some professional fees associated with that 00:33:01
visit. 00:33:06
We don't have the estimate back from the the actual construction company yet on what kind of savings we have with those 00:33:11
interventions. So it's still a work in progress. I don't think it's it's time to close the Tower Kingston account yet. 00:33:17
Are you all getting actual construction bids? Is that what we're saying? OK, yeah, yeah. Well, we, we, we sort of gave them some. 00:33:24
Stuff we could live without, stuff that we can't live without, and then ask them to sort of give us numbers based off that to see 00:33:29
if we could. 00:33:33
You know, contains some cost, but yet still keep capability and sort of make this the generational fix that we're looking. 00:33:36
Got it. OK. Then I'll put Brian up for the actual number. 00:33:43
Brian Potter for Charlotte Pass for the Floyd County Health Department. 00:33:49
We are requesting appropriations for Preparedness Health. 00:33:54
The states already approved the budget. 00:33:59
You guys need to get the money appropriated so we can spend it. 00:34:01
Move to approve for a. 00:34:05
Motion and a second for 4A. Any questions or discussion? 00:34:09
The office equipment that's going to go in the new building. 00:34:13
It's actually for a trailer. 00:34:16
OK, for what? 00:34:19
For a trailer. For a trailer. 00:34:20
Any other questions? 00:34:26
All in favor of 4A say aye. 00:34:27
Aye, any opposed? 00:34:30
That curious. Thank you. 00:34:32
Diana for Mr. 00:34:35
OK. 00:34:41
SO5A is a it's appropriating the Caesars Foundation grants into its spend lines in the 1179 fund. 00:34:44
So you have a. 00:34:55
2500 going into contractual services and 2500 going into miscellaneous supplies. 00:34:57
I will tell you that. 00:35:02
5B is similar. 1178 that's all grant appropriations into their spend lines. 00:35:03
I'll make a motion for 5A and B. 00:35:11
2nd. 00:35:13
Motion and a second for 5A and B, any discussion? 00:35:14
All in favor say aye. 00:35:21
Aye, any opposed? 00:35:23
That carries. 00:35:24
Mr. Dennison did e-mail myself and Danny about his grant proposals. I believe that Mister Short is going to go over those. 00:35:25
Real quick with you guys, and I'm going to stay up here because I'm also Kelly Deuser. 00:35:32
OK. 00:35:35
The Ready 2.0. 00:35:35
Is a proposal to help finish small amphitheater project and improve surrounding area including park and multi use path. 00:35:38
The same Debt CARES grant is a proposal to further digitize parks and connected systems, including new signage with QR codes at 00:35:45
shelter pavilions and other park amenities. 00:35:49
And Indiana Department of Health Tactical Urbanism. 00:35:54
Proposal to improve pedestrian and bicycle safety at both external and internal points in San Peden Community Park. 00:35:57
And the Floyd County 4H fairgrounds and external points at Herman Collier Park. 00:36:04
Danny with these grants fully fund most projects. 00:36:09
That I don't know. I believe it would on. 00:36:13
The second two, but the first one I think is a multi layered. 00:36:17
That's my understanding. 00:36:24
The amphitheater would be. 00:36:25
Site prep and then. 00:36:28
Engineering and you know it would be a. 00:36:30
Multi year multi layer. 00:36:32
Grant. 00:36:33
Proposal type thing. 00:36:35
That's just the last two I believe are fully. 00:36:36
Fully done that. 00:36:39
So do either of you know? Is this the first? 00:36:40
Phase of the amphitheater project, yes. 00:36:42
Yeah. 00:36:45
Yeah, there is a. 00:36:47
If you ever want some cool. 00:36:49
Reading in maps and drawings. 00:36:51
The. 00:36:54
20 year parks plan is planned. Comprehensive plan. 00:36:55
But that's it's part of that, yes. 00:36:59
Yeah, yeah, just kind of. There's no way we're going to be able to do everything at once. So we're. 00:37:01
Yeah. 00:37:06
Taking it a bite hopefully. I'm still I'm impressed using it step by step as best he can. 00:37:07
Yes, he's he's working it step by step and hopefully he's around. 00:37:11
Long enough to see a lot of it through. 00:37:15
And doesn't leave us. So he didn't indicate on these grant proposals, but. 00:37:18
Is he got a grant proposal in for the Fed from the feds too to that? 00:37:22
That's already. 00:37:25
That's already been, I think that's for 2627, I mean. 00:37:26
For 2027, grants haven't. 00:37:30
I think they're doing it this week, yeah. I'm not sure that's technically classified as a grant either. That's just federal money. 00:37:34
But yeah, he's well aware of that. 00:37:38
Of that Ave. now so. 00:37:42
It's pretty cool Georgetown got 1,000,000 bucks. 00:37:45
All right. 00:37:51
So a motion to approve him moving forward with these grants for. 00:37:53
5C so moved. 00:37:57
Second motion. A second. Any further questions or discussion? 00:37:58
All in favor say aye. 00:38:02
Aye, any opposed? 00:38:04
That carries. 00:38:05
Diana for Kelly. 00:38:07
This is moving the insurance money that they got back on the total vehicle that happened outside with the. 00:38:09
Incident that occurred a few months ago. 00:38:15
Into their vehicle lines to help cover the. 00:38:18
The two vehicles, the one that replaced the total vehicle, and then. 00:38:21
The additional vehicle that is replacing another very old car in their pool so. 00:38:25
Move to approve 6A. 00:38:33
Second motion and a second for 6A. Any further discussion? 00:38:35
All in favor say aye. 00:38:40
Aye, any opposed? 00:38:42

These are all part-time positions, right? Except for the director and the. 00:39:19
The director is the only fulfillment, all the others are part time. 00:39:23
OK. 00:39:26
All in favor 7A say aye. 00:39:31
Aye, any opposed? 00:39:33
Thank you. B is an amended salary ordinance to add solid waste to the county's salary ordinance. 00:39:36
And then also you guys approved an increase for two maintenance guys last month. 00:39:44
So that is on the amended salary ordinance as well. 00:39:50
Move to approve 7B. 00:39:55
Second motion and a second 47-B. 00:39:58
There's no change to their salaries, right? 00:40:01
There is no changes to any other salaries. OK. 00:40:04
Any further questions? 00:40:11
All in favor say aye. 00:40:14
Aye. 00:40:15
Any opposed? 00:40:16
Aye, that carries. 00:40:17
The last one is for an appropriation for easy hire. That is the. 00:40:20
Applicant tracking system that we talked about in the joint meeting. 00:40:26
We currently have. 00:40:31
Four or five jobs posted on the county's website. 00:40:33
And then you likely saw an e-mail from me today. 00:40:37
Posting the solid waste director. 00:40:41
That job as well. 00:40:44
So I have 6 jobs that need to be posted and. 00:40:45
As a reminder, indeed only allows 3 and 4 only. 00:40:49
30 days. 00:40:54
I'll make a motion for. 00:40:55
Flag it motion and a second for 7C. 00:40:58
Any questions for Michelle? 00:41:01
Now this for a year. 00:41:03
So the majority, good question. So the majority of that money is 6000 is the setup fee? 00:41:05
The annual cost should be about 3500 a year. 00:41:11
Any other questions? 00:41:18
All in favour of seven C say aye. 00:41:21
Aye, any opposed? 00:41:23
Thank you. 00:41:25
Thank you. 00:41:26
You're up, Scott. 00:41:31
Good evening. Good evening. 00:41:36
She's deputy County Sheriff's Office. 00:41:38
Apologize for Steve Bush, he doubled with himself so. 00:41:40
I'm here to. 00:41:44
Ask for what he is asking. 00:41:45
So I have three things. 00:41:48
The first year just grant proposals. 00:41:50
Getting your audience approval to move forward with those. 00:41:52
So there's a small rural travel body worn camera program for body cameras. 00:41:55
We're going to attempt to try to get. 00:42:00
And then there's the Chirp Rat, which is the. 00:42:02
Several things that they do, kind of seat belt, following the buses around, doing the stop arms. 00:42:06
It's a pretty good program. 00:42:10
We bought quite a few tickets on farms. 00:42:12
I don't know if I need to. 00:42:16
Stop there, and then let's stop right there. 00:42:17
Won't take up 9. A first move to approve 9A is. 00:42:20
Advertise. 00:42:24
I have a motion and a second. Any questions? 00:42:26
Are these matching grants or? 00:42:28
They actually their total reimburse well the the body grant 1. 00:42:31
We don't know, I said. How much they'll give us. We don't even know if we'll be. 00:42:34
So I mean, is it a matching grant though? 00:42:37
I mean, do you have to pay something? 00:42:39
To get something. 00:42:41
I don't know. 00:42:43
He didn't, really. 00:42:44
Fill me in on that part of it. It's in the same grant that he said with the chirp or the body worn. 00:42:45
Camera. I'm not sure which Granny said he's at. 00:42:49
The but I wasn't, I think it was the body camera. It it was a matching gram. 00:42:52
So we may have to come up with we have money in that line for that. That's why I was going to ask, are you all able to if it's a 00:42:57
matching grant to pay that? 00:43:00
This may be some fair questions, Scott. 00:43:08
Y'all know me? I'm big on these acronyms. What does that stand for? 00:43:11
Which one community I assume? 00:43:14
Sure. Was that was that a bird or what is that? Well, I can find out, but it is something about community. I'd say community, 00:43:16
maybe health. 00:43:20
You know, we can look it up. 00:43:25
Basically what they're out doing mostly is doing the stop arms on the buses. 00:43:26
So you know that's you know that's a matching or not. 00:43:29
That ones a reimbursement. 00:43:32
So we pay that and they reimburse us fully. OK, So it's a fed, it's actually a federal grant that comes through see just like care 00:43:34
and then. 00:43:37
It's like the old. 00:43:40
Project gonna be our project. 00:43:42
It's just you. 00:43:44
The federal government that comes through the state through See, just a minute, OK? 00:43:45
So they we pay it at first out of our own time that they reimburse us for it. 00:43:49
OK. 00:43:52
I do know the accident. I can't think of it right now. 00:43:54
Comprehensive Hwy. injury reduction. 00:43:57
Program. There you go. 00:43:59
Thank you. 00:44:02
It's amazing what those phones do. 00:44:03
Have have we had that grant before? 00:44:05
We have. 00:44:07
And there was no issues as far as. 00:44:08
OK, good. Alright. 00:44:11
Did we have it last year? 00:44:13
So there's. 00:44:16
No reason why we shouldn't think that we would get it. 00:44:17
All right. Any further questions on 9/8? 00:44:24
All in favor say aye. 00:44:26
Aye, any opposed? 00:44:28
Don't scary. 00:44:30
The bee is the body armor. 00:44:32
That we have an invoice for. 00:44:35
I think there were some questions about why we didn't budget this. 00:44:38
I really can't answer that. The sheriff's had conversations. I don't know with who or when. 00:44:42
It does come up every five years. It's not it's not like a yearly thing that happens. 00:44:46
I would say. 00:44:51
It's not an ignorant thing that we didn't know because. 00:44:52
We know. 00:44:55
But it's. 00:44:56
More of a remembrance thing that it. 00:44:57
That it showed up the last time we bought body armor was. 00:44:59
The last administration. 00:45:02
Than here was I was there during budget talk. I don't know why it didn't come up. 00:45:03
But we certainly. 00:45:08
Are we, the county are obligated to do this? 00:45:09
My statue. 00:45:13
Most of it's for us, but we do piggyback for. 00:45:15
Adult probation and community corrections as well. So there's about. 00:45:18
Twenty of these body armor. 00:45:22
It's not for the sheriff's departments, for other. 00:45:23
Other entities that wear money off. 00:45:27
So other other than that, I guess we just did. 00:45:29
How to pay for it? 00:45:33
In the past administration, this was covered by a grant. 00:45:36
Part of the past administration. I don't know how they pick work. 00:45:40
Staying. We're still here. We could have asked him, but. 00:45:44
Motion to approve 9 B for discussion purposes. 00:45:48
I'll second it. 00:45:56
All right, we have a motion and a second take off. 00:45:57
Where are you funded this from? 00:46:02
I'm guessing it's gonna have to come out public safety lid. 00:46:05
I guess I'll just start. I'm a. 00:46:10
I guess. 00:46:13
Scott, we're all frustrated that. 00:46:14
There's five years. 00:46:16
Is a long time people should. 00:46:18
Plan five years in advance that. 00:46:20
And I don't understand statute. The statute is the statute. 00:46:24
Hey and so I from what I understand some of your officers have like 4 hanging in their fault. 00:46:27
But the statute says we have to provide body armor. But I guess the first thing I'll speak for me. 00:46:34
Frustrating thing is, is it wasn't. 00:46:40
Put in the budget. 00:46:42
And then? 00:46:44
And I will just go ahead and state it. If we hadn't, if we didn't have the public safety lid, I'm not sure where we pay for that. 00:46:45
So I guess the frustrating thing for me is that it just. 00:46:53
Knowing this something that is an ongoing, ongoing thing. 00:46:57
5 every five years and. 00:47:00
I assume Scott, you received new body armor five years ago. 00:47:02
OK. And so it's just that's. 00:47:06
Just the frustration. 00:47:08
And I I don't question that. 00:47:10
It's got to be done. 00:47:12
I think everybody on this body would say. 00:47:13
The faintest saying Cliche. I support the blue. 00:47:16
It's nothing that we don't support the blue, it's just that we're. 00:47:20
For I personally frustrated that it wasn't. 00:47:23
Properly. 00:47:26
Done through the budget process and that's. 00:47:27
And I can absolutely say we have. 00:47:30
Apologize for that, ask your all suggestions. 00:47:32
Because when it is every five years and it overlaps administration's out of. 00:47:35
I don't know who's supposed to remember. 00:47:39
That it's time if we should have but we. 00:47:41
But we didn't. 00:47:43
And then it. 00:47:44
But suddenly we. 00:47:46
By statute we have to require. 00:47:47
The body armor has to be purchased. 00:47:49
I don't know who. 00:47:52
He only sets. 00:47:53
We're buying. I got the invoice here. 00:47:55
So it's. 00:47:59
This is kind of hard to read, but it looks like. 00:48:06
81 but but it looks like there's about 20 of those that are going. 00:48:09
To adult probation and community corrections so. 00:48:13
How many roll how many you got 60? 00:48:16
With 47 as of right now and three reserves which are required to buy for reserves, but we also have. 00:48:18
Process servers. 00:48:23
That we have to buy, for we have. 00:48:25
We go ahead and buy them for the transport teams, the uniform. 00:48:28
Anybody that we? 00:48:32
Is in the public and could possibly be. 00:48:34
Michelle where? 00:48:37
There's even a little bit of trouble. We make them go. We make jail officers take. 00:48:38
Inmates to the hospital and he knows where we've had people shot there before, but we don't even. 00:48:41
Give all of them. 00:48:45
Body armor, but they. 00:48:46
They do. Do we try to make transport guys do that? 00:48:48
Court team guys do that, but people went to the hospital all the time and. 00:48:50
They're actually out there. Some of them might be without body armor. 00:48:53
But it's we've never kind of whipped the the full. 00:48:56
And that's for every single person who has a gun. 00:49:00
You could be at the pub. I mean you, you could buy the body armor for the correction guys out of the concert. What's that? You 00:49:02
could buy the commentary out for the body armor out of the commissary if you wanted. 00:49:07
We could. 00:49:11
Yeah, yeah, That was gonna be a question I asked because I bring this up every time we come up, these extra expenses for the 00:49:14
Sheriff's Department looking at. 00:49:17
All the funds are available in there, why don't we? 00:49:21
Try to get them to draw down from some. 00:49:23
Just for. 00:49:28
My like, if we're doing a budget that's five years from now, we just need to ask for a one time you because you couldn't I don't 00:49:34
did you create something that because it goes away. It's only once every five years. I have I mean I I looked at the statute and I 00:49:39
don't I can't remember my heart, but I do know for police officers, we we are. 00:49:44
By law have to. 00:49:49
Yes, so. 00:49:51
What the rest I don't know. 00:49:54
I don't know. 00:49:55
But it I think it that's that would precedent what's done in the past since we've always piggyback with community correction, 00:49:57
adult probation, but we didn't have Senate Bill 1 and passed so. 00:50:01
So that's that's we, we pulled the trigger on this probably faster. I mean it we something somebody knew that it was the five 00:50:06
years. 00:50:10
I didn't. 00:50:14
I mean, I'll be honest with you, I'm not. 00:50:15
OK, let's just. 00:50:17
Scott, one other question, is this an all in number like there's not going to be next year. So this covers this cover SWAT. I mean 00:50:19
we actually we do other things. We partner with other other counties. Sometimes we do pay for that discretionary fund to try to 00:50:24
help out with the SWAT team when they when they need. 00:50:29
This might be some SWAT team guys you've already bought though. 00:50:35
We bought these, right? Whatever this is, this is, this is. 00:50:38
This is the invoice. This is. 00:50:43
This is, I mean, obviously it's. 00:50:45
Obviously. So they've already been picked up, so we need to pay for yeah. 00:50:48
Yeah. And obviously it's needed. We got to do it. I don't know that I agree with taking it out of it, though. 00:50:51
How do we do that discussion, Do that later or? 00:50:58
We just approve them now and then decide how we're going to decide that. 00:51:01
I need to know where to advertise an additional appropriation for the April meeting because there is no appropriation for this 00:51:06
early. 00:51:09
Right. OK. Is that during this discussion or is that another discussion? No, we need to set it up. 00:51:14
When you set it up for the so. 00:51:20
Dale's motion, though, was for lit. 00:51:23
Do we need to vote on that first? He made a motion for discussion purposes. 00:51:25
I don't think he specified which. 00:51:31
Well, I'll throw it out there. I think we should take it out of the proposed funds from the GO bond. 00:51:38
It would reduce the vehicle. 00:51:48
A potential vehicle. 00:51:50
Reply. 00:51:52
How many have you? 00:51:57
Have you even you guys talked about that? 00:51:59
Vehicles. 00:52:02
Yeah. But yeah, we go ahead. 00:52:03
It's Part 2 bids. It's, I mean, we put out in the paper twice like we're supposed to. We filed the bids. We got 2 bids. 00:52:06
One from. 00:52:11
North Carolina They. 00:52:13
Part 2 The price. 00:52:15
The other second bit was John Jones and they come in at price or that they. 00:52:16
They got the big We haven't talked to this just today. 00:52:20
So we haven't even discussed with anybody. 00:52:23
That, but yeah, we have. 00:52:25
Two bids, OK. 00:52:26
John Jones will get it. I know the price of the. 00:52:28
Cars right now what was. 00:52:30
And how many? What happens and how many? What were these? 00:52:32
60,193. 00:52:34
I think something like that, a car that's. 00:52:37
How many? How many did you get? 00:52:39
Went and bought any cars. So that was just for a car. 00:52:41
Be able to say and that's for what type of vehicle? 00:52:45
Food Patrol Vehicles, V6. 00:52:48
Durangos, OK. 00:52:51
I'm just asking, do you have? 00:52:52
You have a number you're targeting that you want Would like to get temperature car. 00:52:54
Is what we were hoping. 00:52:57
Get temperature cars. 00:52:59
Straight out and then we do the trade ends and try to work on get a detective car from. 00:53:00
Is that counting? 00:53:05
Is that counting equipment? 00:53:06
That's fully loaded. That's all in. That's the upfit, that's the 60,000 oz. I think it's 60,193, so I might the 193. 00:53:08
It's close. It's around 60,000. 00:53:17
OK, alright. 00:53:20
I know we're I, I don't mean it down to. 00:53:22
Pennies and nickels, but we gotta get down to pennies and nickels. 00:53:25
Can can one of? 00:53:30
You all let us know. 00:53:31
If we did leave. 00:53:33
Money in the vehicle budget for the Sheriff's Department for 26. So in the jail lit there is $150,000 budgeted for. 00:53:34
Vehicles 25 eight has been spins out of it. So we're at what 124 two at this point remaining in that particular line. 00:53:42
That's the only budget that is currently official for vehicles. 00:53:51
Not vehicle maintenance, so. 00:53:55
In the sheriff's budget, what did you say that number was, 128? 00:53:57
Stupid 120. 00:54:01
So the remain, yeah. 00:54:03
The remaining announced. 00:54:05
The 124 two because it was originally 150 and they've spent 25800. 00:54:08
OK. 00:54:16
On the on the Gold Bond would be appropriate. 00:54:18
We haven't appropriate anything, but we agree. 00:54:21
Our general consensus was 500,000 a year for three years and with that. 00:54:24
Extra you you could probably need to because I'm looking about 600. We would trade in probably 10 cars too to try to get. 00:54:29
Right. What we're actually wanting to try to get 11 cars, 10 patrol, right and then one detective car because we have one 00:54:37
detective car that's just. 00:54:40
And you have you have to pay federal tax rates. 00:54:44
No tax. This is that that when they give us the price, that's the price that was everything. 00:54:46
Yeah, that's good price. 00:54:50
It is actually. I was, yeah. That's that's good for us. 00:54:52
That's an outfitted price. 00:54:55
That's it's fully updated, that's lights, it's the whole, it's the whole shebang. 00:54:56
Yeah. 00:55:01
OK, well. 00:55:07
I'll just save it for another day. 00:55:08
That that's right, you would. 00:55:09
So we can advertise it from both if we want. Do we want to do that? 00:55:11
For what? 00:55:14
When you say both, I'm sorry to advertise anything from the Govan. 00:55:15
Your monies are appropriate, right? 00:55:19
Spend them however you vote to choose. 00:55:21
That's a control factor through my office and you're bored. 00:55:24
Anywhere else? 00:55:27
Would have to be advertised and appropriated unless you utilize the 124 two that's already in the jail. 00:55:30
We can authorize it from the go bond tonight. 00:55:43
Correct. 00:55:45
If that's what we. 00:55:47
That's how we want to pay for it. It's either that or that lit. 00:55:50
We have no cars on order. 00:55:54
No. 00:55:56
This is just a bit. 00:55:58
But we do have an outstanding bill of 100, Right, Right, right. Right. Yeah, right. Yeah. 00:55:59
No, I know. 00:56:03
But I'm I'm at that'll bring that down to 393 plus the 124 that doesn't get us that what we were trying. 00:56:07
Well, I mean, the only thing is. 00:56:17
We could pay it tonight and then we could revisit. 00:56:19
If the car situation comes up. 00:56:22
Public in the public safety. 00:56:24
If you want to do that all weekend, yeah, that's that's a permitted. 00:56:27
Purchase out of there. 00:56:30
So. 00:56:31
And we wanted to do that. 00:56:33
It wouldn't be something we'd want to routinely do, but. 00:56:34
If we if we had to. 00:56:37
Because that that, you know, public safety grants going to be gone and. 00:56:40
All the all the lips are probably gone. 00:56:44
So lit I mean. 00:56:45
So. 00:56:47
You got anything you guys got? Any ideas? 00:56:50
Just point of order, Mr. Chair. 00:56:53
Mr. Mellie's made a motion. I don't think it was ever seconded. 00:56:56
It was seconded. It was. It was seconded for discussion. 00:56:59
Again, we did not, Councilman Robert. 00:57:04
Alright, yeah, I did. 00:57:06
I'm good with the bond. 00:57:07
I still stick with the commissary funds. 00:57:12
I don't, I don't know that's going to be an option. I mean, I'm. 00:57:14
That's the problem is there is a state law that says we are. 00:57:18
Require divine body. 00:57:21
Now I do have a discussion about the. 00:57:24
Correction officers and I don't know whether, but the problem is we got an invoice, need to pay and I don't know when it's due. 00:57:26
That parts already done. 00:57:31
So, uh. 00:57:33
Well, the guys are walking around with the new body armor already. 00:57:35
Yeah. 00:57:37
I'm sorry, the people. 00:57:39
We're good. We thought we were good for it so. 00:57:40
If if you want to amend. 00:57:46
To. 00:57:48
To have it pulled from the go, bond you. 00:57:49
You have that option. 00:57:52
That was my you did say from the my apologies. I thought it was for discussion only and that was seconded. 00:57:53
All right. Well then. 00:58:00
Sam, Sam. 00:58:03
If there's no further discussion, we'll just take a vote on that motion and. 00:58:05
OK, if it fails, we'll go from there. 00:58:09
Alright, so. 00:58:10
9B is to pay the 107 thousand 17265 from go bond proceeds. 00:58:12
All in favor say aye. 00:58:17
Any opposed? 00:58:19
That carries. 00:58:20
Will will take up. 00:58:22
The vehicle situation. 00:58:26
A little further down the road. 00:58:30
And that's why I'll push. Let's get somebody with commissary funded. 00:58:36
I. 00:58:41
I agree 100% then also. 00:58:46
Give me again. 00:58:48
You guys are really lucky to. 00:58:49
OK. And. 00:58:52

All in favor say aye. 00:59:09

That the council voted not to encumber. 00:59:22
Motion for 11 B second. 00:59:25
Motion a second for 11 D Any discussion? 00:59:27

Any further discussion? 00:59:36
All in favor say aye. 00:59:38
Aye, those opposed. 00:59:40
Aye, that carries. 00:59:41
11-C is an unusual thing. Superior 2. 00:59:43
Needs to request additional appropriations. 00:59:47
For some professional services, they've had to utilize interpreters. 00:59:50
This year and that is not something that they typically have to do in that court, so. 00:59:55
We have an outstanding bill of $3000. They're anticipating an additional bill. 01:00:00
Anybody in this in the courthouse who speaks Spanish? 01:00:09
We used to. She left my office and I think she probably would have asked for additional monies because she was pretty. 01:00:12
Pretty mercenary. 01:00:19
I loved her. 01:00:21
I I know this is a problem so I mean. 01:00:23
We have we have the same issue so. 01:00:26
I know this is an issue. 01:00:28
But Jesus assumed it was Spanish. Maybe it was Ukrainian, you don't know. 01:00:29
You're right. 01:00:34
I mean when I worked in the jail I had to use Google Apps for Arabic so. 01:00:35
So. 01:00:39
Just just. 01:00:40
For the discussion purposes, I'll make a motion for 11 C second. 01:00:41
So my whole thing is I get it, I understand it, but. 01:00:46
This is something that should have been budgeted for. 01:00:51
Yes and no. 01:00:55
They haven't utilized an interpreter budget. 01:00:56
In years in that court. 01:00:58
So they did not request it because they haven't needed it. 01:01:00
In years and we asked them to budget. 01:01:02
For what they need. 01:01:05
Yeah, I bet they didn't budget for it next year. 01:01:07
Yeah, I bet they will. 01:01:10
I bet they will. 01:01:11
Whether they use it or not, I'm sure it will be in there. 01:01:13
Any further discussion on 11-C? 01:01:17
All in favor say aye aye. 01:01:21
Any opposed? 01:01:23
Thank you. 01:01:25

All in favor say aye. 01:01:49
Aye. 01:01:50
Any opposed? 01:01:52
That carries 12B is ordinance for additional appropriations. 01:01:54
So moved. 01:01:58
Second motion and 2nd for 12B. 01:02:00
Any further discussion on appropriations? 01:02:03
All in favor say aye aye. Any opposed? 01:02:07
Aye, that carries. 01:02:10
12 C is our Community Foundation appointment. I will say that we have. 01:02:12
Submitted. 01:02:17
Two resumes now. 01:02:18
So unless anybody has anymore, there's a meeting set up, I believe the lunch meeting with. 01:02:20
The representative from the Community Foundation with those two. 01:02:27
Commissioner Knabel and myself. 01:02:32
Have requested. 01:02:34
A meeting. 01:02:37
With the same representative. 01:02:39
After the fact. 01:02:41
Amend. 01:02:43
Our memorandum with them. 01:02:44
For an appointment. 01:02:47
Umm, I expressed that. 01:02:51
I didn't agree with. 01:02:53
Their largest? 01:02:55
Depositor. 01:02:57
Having to jump through hoops to get somebody on that board. So we are going to revisit. 01:02:58
That letter. 01:03:03
And hopefully we will be able to. 01:03:04
Appoint someone without having to. 01:03:08
Do a a group. 01:03:11
Interview type thing. 01:03:13
I think that's only fair and I don't. 01:03:15
See a reason why we can't amend that? If anybody else has any other suggestions, get with me. 01:03:17
I anticipate that meeting. 01:03:23
Within the next. 01:03:24
Four to six weeks, probably. 01:03:26
After they select. 01:03:27
Someone and so we can get that. 01:03:29
Ironed out. 01:03:31
Going forward. 01:03:33
Any questions on that? 01:03:36
I'll be glad to put that. 01:03:39
Chapter behind us. 01:03:41
12D is our Baker Tilly engagement letter. 01:03:44
They're interested in continuing to work with us and we're. 01:03:50
As far as I'm concerned, interested in having them on board to. 01:03:54
Do some forecasting. 01:03:59
And. 01:04:01
Some SB1 work. 01:04:02
There was a few little changes in twerks in this. 01:04:05
Session but not much. 01:04:10
Extension of a few little things at another year or two that will. 01:04:14
We'll let them brief us on that once it makes it through. 01:04:18
DLGF and SBOA for their interpretations. 01:04:22
What the what the law actually says? 01:04:26
That's my favorite. 01:04:28
So I don't know if any if y'all had. 01:04:31
A chance to read through it. It's basically same type of engagement letter as last year. Obviously we're already into March, so. 01:04:33
But they they will get started here pretty soon on season. 01:04:41
And it kind of pay as you go. 01:04:44
It is it is it's it's set pay for different. 01:04:46
Depending on who works on the project, yeah, yeah, it is. Pay as you go, that is, and where you use them, the more you pay them. 01:04:51
Right. 01:04:57
So that's why I was saying we haven't. 01:04:58
Use them yet? 01:05:00
So through the first quarter, we're OK, but we will be utilizing them personally. 01:05:01
I don't believe before we die. 01:05:06
For some. 01:05:08
Specific type things. They'll probably be finishing up some fire territory. 01:05:09
Numbers commissioners will probably pick that up and then. 01:05:14
Financial forecasting for us, especially as we get closer to. 01:05:18
27. 01:05:21
Budgets, so we have a handle. 01:05:23
On the. 01:05:25
On that going forward so. 01:05:26
If everybody's OK with that, we'll entertain a motion for. 01:05:28
12D to that we approve that engagement letter. 01:05:31
So moved second. 01:05:34
Motion a second. Any further discussion on Baker Tilly? 01:05:35
All in favor say aye. 01:05:39
Any opposed? 01:05:41
That carries. 01:05:42
So. 01:05:43
Will you let Paige know or do you want me to? 01:05:45
OK, perfect. 01:05:47
Anybody from the public? Go ahead, Yeah. 01:05:48
OK, I can do that. 01:05:51
Is there anyone from the public that would like to speak this evening? 01:05:53
Now's your chance. 01:05:57
Seeing none, I'll entertain a motion to adjourn. 01:06:00
Mr. President, can I just make a very short? 01:06:03
Committee report yes. Oh, absolutely that my fault. I should have gone through there that's all right last month I know that we 01:06:07
had a rather long meeting and that's when our. 01:06:11
We experienced the winter storm. 01:06:17
And just wanted to give a shout out to the public works employees and the first responders who did an excellent job. 01:06:20
During that storm. And a special shout out to EMA. 01:06:27
Who transported? 01:06:31
Through their volunteer program. 01:06:34
540. 01:06:36
Medical staff employees to. 01:06:38

Different. 01:06:43
Medical facilities. 01:06:44

Event transcript
Have you seen pictures of my grandfather? 00:00:00
So I'll now call to order the Floyd County Council meeting for Tuesday, March 10th, 2026. 00:00:02
Please rise for the Pledge of Allegiance. 00:00:07
Why do I delete this flag? 00:00:11
The United States. America. 00:00:13

One nation under God. 00:00:18
Indivisible with liberty and justice for all. 00:00:20
All right, let the record show that we have six of seven council members here this evening. 00:00:25
Mr. Bagshaw, would you lead us in a prayer? Yes, let's pray, please. Oh Lord God of heaven, we thank you today that we live in 00:00:31
this land of this great land called America. 00:00:35
Where we have freedom and liberty, we would never want to lose our gratitude for our freedom and liberty. 00:00:40
Or always asked to be with our soldiers, sailors, airmen, marine as they serve. 00:00:45
Around the world is defending freedom, especially those serving in. 00:00:50

A police or fire EMS keep them safe as they keep us safe. 00:01:00
Or. 00:01:05
Give us wisdom for this meeting tonight that we can make. 00:01:06
Prudent choices for the betterment of our community. Make wise choices. 00:01:09
That we can and thank you that we're all my peers on this body are. 00:01:13
Our servant leaders that were willing to serve the public. Lord, we ask all these things in your name, Amen. 00:01:18
Yeah, alright. 00:01:23
Acceptance of tonight's agenda. We will be. 00:01:26
Shuffling some things, but the. 00:01:29
What is on the agenda won't change. We're just going to shuffle some. 00:01:32
Some of the. 00:01:38
Around make motion we accept. 00:01:39
2nd, we have a motion a second any discussion on our agenda. 00:01:41
All in favor say aye. Any opposed? 00:01:46
It's not carried. 00:01:49
Approval of minutes from February 10th. 00:01:51
So move second. 00:01:53
Motion in a second. 00:01:55
For the minutes, any discussion on those? 00:01:56
All in favor say aye. 00:02:00
Aye, any opposed? 00:02:01
That carries. 00:02:03
We will now open the public hearing for our additional appropriations tonight. Is there anyone from the public who would like to 00:02:04
speak on those? 00:02:08
Seeing none, we will now close the public. 00:02:14
Hearing on additional appropriations. 00:02:17
We will move to. 00:02:20
New business we're going to start with #2. 00:02:22
And then we're going to jump to 10, I believe, and then we'll get back in line. 00:02:25
So Stanley is up. 00:02:29
1st thank you very much for the the shuffle. 00:02:33
Thank you, I really appreciate it. 00:02:36
Actually, it would be two, eight and 1028 please. 00:02:38
Yep, whatever you need to do. Well, thank you very much. I appreciate the latitude of the. 00:02:41
The first couple are just some requests. The first 12A is additional appropriation set for the solid waste operational side of the 00:02:47
house. 00:02:52
I don't have a whole lot of their previous history. I tried to come up with some generalized numbers. This is just a foundation to 00:02:58
get us moving into. 00:03:02
2026 with solid waste on board. We are now processing. 00:03:07
Diane and her team are helping us. We're getting all these invoices processed, getting them caught back up. 00:03:11
For solid waste. 00:03:19
We're just moving forward. I think we had a really good first payroll. It seemed like. It seemed like it went pretty. 00:03:20
Pretty well without any major blips, so. 00:03:26
I think our foundation is starting to pull together. This is just building the operational side of it, so we have the 00:03:29
appropriations to move forward. 00:03:33
Move the Pro 2A. 00:03:39
2nd, we have a motion a second, any questions for staying on these? 00:03:41
So this comes out of the solid waste. 00:03:46
Fern This is an independent fund that was created by the Council. What I the intentions for year one is the. 00:03:49
Solid waste when it was a district had a. 00:03:55
I know he's been flying. He's been, yeah, he's been flying around in here. 00:04:00
I'm a little allergic so I'm sorry. 00:04:03
I maybe put him on a string or facilities. 00:04:06
I'm sorry. Yeah. Where is Donna? 00:04:09
He's actually his father-in-law's birthday party tonight, so yeah, well, I'll take it up with him in the morning. 00:04:11
The the the solid waste or the solid waste consolidation, they actually have a money market account and a checking account that. 00:04:18
Has approximately 185,000 in cash. We are going to consolidate those funds. 00:04:24
Bring that over and deposit that into the 401 three fund. 00:04:29
So this will come out of this will come out of that. 00:04:33
Yes, that's correct. Yes, Sir. OK. 00:04:35
All right. Any other discussion on 2A? 00:04:38
All in favor say aye. 00:04:42
Aye, any opposed? 00:04:43
That carries. 00:04:45
2B These are the appropriations of. 00:04:47
Out of county general for the salaries for the director, the office manager and in the part time employees that are currently. 00:04:50
Working at the solid waste districts right now. 00:04:57
This is just setting again the foundation for. 00:05:00
Forward balance of 2026 the Director of salary. 00:05:05
I think David makes. 00:05:09
22 and some change so it's right at $46,000 a year. Take off the first four pay periods and. 00:05:10
This 40,000 get us to the end. 00:05:17
The office manager, Carrie, she's part time. That's a. 00:05:20
A little bit high, but it's. 00:05:23
Pretty much with her being part time, we don't know what the flexible hours for her going to be. 00:05:25
She's at. 00:05:31
I think it was a $22.00 an hour. 00:05:33
Or she's $700.00 a pay period. I'm sorry. 00:05:36
And then the other employees, it looks like the first payroll was about $4000 for the other part time employees. 00:05:39
So that extrapolates out to about 88,000 if they still maintain the same. 00:05:46
Number of work hours as they have in pay period 1 here but. 00:05:51
Obviously fluctuations come throughout the year, so. 00:05:56
The 85,000 is a good target. 00:05:59
To hit again. 00:06:02
Building the foundation for moving forward with a solid waste. 00:06:03
Salaries. 00:06:07
I'll make a motion for 2B. 00:06:10
2nd. 00:06:13
Stan, these are, this is part of what we moved at the joint meeting, right? 00:06:14
Both A&B are representative of the consensus from the joint meeting. 00:06:21
Skittish. Now I do have a question. Yes, Sir. 00:06:25
The money we appropriated. 00:06:29
Through edit for solid waste. Where's that? Where's that going to go back to edit and it just. 00:06:31
That's not a question for me. 00:06:36
It's quite money the. 00:06:38
Hasn't been unappropriated. It's still currently in that line until. 00:06:40
The. 00:06:44
Well, I think the question was that that. 00:06:49
Yeah, we had was. 00:06:51
We we approved a budget of 400. 00:06:52
1004 and plus. 00:06:55
In edit for solid waste. Now you're asking. 00:06:57
Use it out general fund. 00:07:00
The 400,000 is there to it was appropriated out the other fund. 00:07:02
It'll be maintained there. 00:07:07
We were going to pay the HHW contract out of that money, which is about. 00:07:10
I think it was 38 to 45,000. I forget to. 00:07:14
The the final. 00:07:17
Agreed upon or contract amount. 00:07:20
Within the balance of that. 00:07:24
It remains in the other fund. I was hoping maybe some latitude with assaults and. 00:07:26
Our salt barns are suffering and we had to order $400,000 worth of salt. I was going to come back and ask it later in the year for 00:07:31
additionals, but if. 00:07:35
If the latitude is granted. 00:07:39
Or considerations grant later in the year, maybe we. 00:07:41
I would probably bring to your request a. 00:07:44
Reallocate some of those funds to cover the SoC costs out of the edit fund, not having to go from any other fund. 00:07:47
Again, it's going to remain there. It's not going to be used for anything else without your permission. 00:07:53
Yeah, I guess, I told Danny. 00:07:58
Danny, now I have coffee. 00:08:00
The week of the meeting. 00:08:02
And I said. 00:08:03
Since I've been on this body. 00:08:04
Anything that starts with 1000. 00:08:06
Is the one I look at. 00:08:09
Because that's the general fund. 00:08:10
Other. 00:08:12
Well, he likes you. You got some kind of calling or something on there? 00:08:13
And. 00:08:16
So the other, I know a lot of the other departments are going to be here tonight. Their grant funds, they're this, they're that, 00:08:18
but the general fund. 00:08:20
That's the one I. 00:08:23
Pat's closest attention to SO. 00:08:26
If we budgeted money and edit for solid waste. 00:08:28
Personally I think it still should stay with solid waste. 00:08:32
That's just me. 00:08:36
Right. Well, I think that's right. I mean, while we wouldn't pull money out of the general fund, when you get funds sitting over 00:08:37
here now, now we're already talking about real. 00:08:41
Reallocating that to some other project that was never even. 00:08:45
Put in the budget, why would we want to do that? 00:08:49
That's just me. 00:08:51
Yeah. So saying, are you saying if if we? 00:08:54
Have you pulled this from edit that you'll be back to ask for money from General for salt? 00:08:59
More than likely, yeah. 00:09:04
It's it just? Yeah. 00:09:05
So did we not budget properly for salt? The cold weather messed this up? No, the price of salt went up. 00:09:10
It was $109,000 a $109 a ton. That's going to 120. 00:09:16
Dollars a ton, we ordered. 00:09:21
44000 tons. We ordered 3000 of treated 2000 or 1000 of untreated. The final bill came to 425,000. 00:09:23
We just put the bid in for. We just end up Idola just opened up the bid for 2627. 00:09:33
We have to have that in by the end of this month, actually. 00:09:41
So we're going to put a request in for another 400,000. Both of our salt barns are down to just 600 tons each in each barn right 00:09:44
now. 00:09:48
So. 00:09:52
We're just trying to maintain, make sure that we have enough salt on hand for the snow events or these winter ice events that that 00:09:53
transfer down. 00:09:57
But the cost next year is estimated to go to $120.00 per ton for the treated and 110 for the for the untreated so. 00:10:01
That puts us. 00:10:09
Well, we actually cut our order back to three 3500 tons. 00:10:10
So it puts our order at about. 00:10:15
For right at 400,000. 00:10:17
And we've had very good luck in the. 00:10:20
Previous years except. 00:10:23
I think it was 2425. 00:10:25
Really took a hit, so that's kind of why. 00:10:27
The salt issues come up and then with everything hitting the North like they're out of salt right now, This. 00:10:30
The state of Indiana has no salt that they can chip down. 00:10:35
To us at all. So we're hoping not to have to exhaust our. 00:10:38
Our barns and have to enter into some kind of agreement with. 00:10:41
Local vendor because their prices were probably more than double so. 00:10:46
Again, it's a Mother Nature call. 00:10:50
But. 00:10:52
We just got to play by here and see how how it all plays out. 00:10:55
Again. 00:10:57
We can always readdress these concerns if you so desire at the budget time. 00:10:58
We were just trying to find the pathway to get through 2026. 00:11:04
With a consolidation of the solid waste district. 00:11:07
OK. 00:11:11
Any further discussion on this one? 00:11:16
All in favor say aye. Any opposed? 00:11:21
Aye, that carries. 00:11:24
Thank you. 00:11:27
To see this is the presentation that was made at the joint the joint meeting by the. 00:11:29
Economic The small business, Economic development. 00:11:35
Committee. 00:11:38
They were trying to. They were asking for. 00:11:39
Donation or donation funding? Yes, Sir. Thank you. 00:11:43
So this is the. 00:11:49
Will be advertised for the 15,000. Now the riverboat. Does everybody recall this? Yep. 00:11:50
I make a motion for 2C. 00:11:55

All in favor say aye aye. 00:12:01
Any opposed? 00:12:03

The attorney fees. 00:12:12
Have. 00:12:14
Been approved by the Redevelopment Commission. 00:12:16
Yeah, Redevelopment Commission and they've exceeded the 7500 that we normally allocate during the budget process. 00:12:21
The fund has approximately, uh, actually it's showing 11. 00:12:28
It's right at $11,000 of cash in there. This 10,000 covers at $2000 shortage. 00:12:32
That the professional services line is already exhausted. 00:12:38
So it'll leave a current balance in that fund of about $3000. 00:12:42
We just want to. 00:12:46
I want to charge. 00:12:47
The proper the appropriate find for. 00:12:48
The legal fees as they are being incurred and this is just using the funds that are available in the redevelopment fund. 00:12:51
To pay for their legal services. 00:12:58
That's the redevelopment fund. 00:13:01
Yes, Sir. Yes, Sir. Yeah, we've had some issues out there at the old gym. 00:13:04
Getting that. 00:13:08
Repair. 00:13:10
Straightened out and it's. 00:13:13
It's been a. 00:13:14
Illegal legal mess round, round and round so. 00:13:16
Yes, right. 00:13:19
Is there a motion for D? 00:13:22
I make a motion. We approve the. 00:13:27
2nd, we have the motion a second. Any further questions or discussion? 00:13:29
Stan, what's our anticipated continued legal fees out of this fund? So if we're only down to 3000, obviously we're going to have 00:13:33
more legal fees, right? 00:13:37
Yes, yes. 00:13:41
Normally what we'll do if in the event they incur obviously additional fees, we paid out the other funds. 00:13:43
OK. 00:13:48
All in favor of D say aye. 00:13:51
Aye, any opposed? 00:13:53
That carries. 00:13:55
Let's see E. 00:14:00
This is all stormwater. This is a request to 1st. 00:14:02
$75,000 in professional fees so. 00:14:06
There are three main contributors on the Under the Stormwater board that they offer contracts to at Stantec Consulting, Heritage 00:14:09
Engineering and OHM. 00:14:13
The the the Stormwater board enters into an agreement with these vendors or. 00:14:19
Advisors. 00:14:24
And. 00:14:27
Actually I just under appropriate under budgeted in 2020. 00:14:28
For 2026. 00:14:32
I think the the pathway moving forward and again, a lot of this is I'm learning this job as we're going through this, but. 00:14:35
If I can get. 00:14:41
With a stormwater board as when we enter into the budget process. 00:14:42
Determine what the awarded contracts are for these three vendors. 00:14:46
And then determine based on the negotiated salary. 00:14:50
Hourly rate and then the negotiated hours. 00:14:54
That they anticipate to use will be I'll be able to come up with a much more solidified. 00:14:56
Budget During the budget process, again, this was. 00:15:01
My shortcoming? 00:15:04
But that's been a great learning experience for me to figure out how all these pieces are falling together and slowly but surely 00:15:05
they they, they are. 00:15:09
Again, I'm underappropriated by 70. 00:15:12
Right now it's 70. 00:15:15
$5000. 00:15:16
Also I think the storm water board on top of the. 00:15:18
The the engineering fees. 00:15:22
They also awarded a. 00:15:24
Are the stormwater boards said that they would allow 25,000 to be used for the Paoli Pike? 00:15:26
Tile replacement project. 00:15:31
Which is going to be right at $25,000. So that's incorporated into this request as well. 00:15:33
I did a forecast on solid waste it appears right now based on year end. 00:15:39
Expected revenues and this doesn't take into account the the the increase in the. 00:15:45
The the rates. 00:15:49
They're expected to land about $540,000. 00:15:51
To the good in that particular cash balance of that particular fund, so. 00:15:56
This would bring that down to. 00:16:00
Just under $470,000 of available cash that. 00:16:02
Could be appropriated for other future projects. 00:16:06
How the storm? 00:16:08
Motion approved. 00:16:13
What's that 52 E? 00:16:14
To eat 2nd I have a motion and a second for 2 E Any further discussion should this be? 00:16:17
Listed as. 00:16:23
Contractual services if it's contracts. 00:16:25
Well, their engineering and consulting, so I. 00:16:28
I mean we what are they under contract, convention contract? 00:16:32
Yeah, these three different vendors. 00:16:35
I think it's just it's, it's maybe it's nitpicking, Yeah. And I may have missed services. 00:16:37
I'm not so sure it's like. 00:16:42
Contract they enter or it's it's just an agreement that they say, OK, we're going to allow you. 00:16:43
We we choose you to do these evaluations as engineers to. 00:16:48
They help us move forward with determining workable projects. It's kind of a big deal. 00:16:52
OK. 00:16:56
That help a little bit. 00:16:58
It's not actually a contract then. 00:17:01
Because my question would have been, why do we enter into those contracts before budgets are approved? I guess it's more of an, 00:17:04
it's more of a. 00:17:06
It's a platform for an agreement. 00:17:10
We're going to use these organizations. This is what we're going to pay for an hour as project pop up. For example, even this 00:17:11
Paley Pike tile project. 00:17:15
It wasn't anticipated in the study, but. 00:17:19
We recent. 00:17:21
The Stormwater Board reached out to one of these. 00:17:22
Engineering consultants to determine what. 00:17:24
What it took to replace and fix the problem at Paley Pike so. 00:17:27
It's not a contract as far as a set amount, it's a. 00:17:35
It's a contract to saying we're going to do business with you and like you said, at a certain hourly rate or it's kind of the same 00:17:37
thing we do with vaporility. 00:17:41
The contract is probably misstatement. My apologies. All right. Any further questions? 00:17:45
All in favor of 2 E say aye. 00:17:50
Aye. 00:17:53
Any opposed? 00:17:53
That carries. 00:17:55
2F This is the. 00:17:56
Grantland Rd. Building. 00:17:59
So we had this. It was on the agenda last. 00:18:01
Last month and there were some things on there that populated that. 00:18:04
It it kind of puzzled me a little bit, so I I think I sent out a really. 00:18:08
Defined overview of how the charges were being levied. 00:18:11
So tower painter. 00:18:15
Well, first of all, this request is for professional services and it's not. 00:18:17
Moving forward right now with professional services, what I want to do is square this fund up. 00:18:22
I had some charges in. 00:18:26
A couple different funds, one of them I think they all identified if I remember correctly, Sir. 00:18:28
Was office equipment well? 00:18:32
The previous. 00:18:34
Harris description of that particular line. 00:18:36
Was. 00:18:39
Neil's gonna forget it. 00:18:42
It wasn't. 00:18:43
Office furniture. 00:18:44
It was something else. So when you look at the description that. 00:18:45
From Harris. 00:18:48
Then you bring up loud. 00:18:50
Who has sometimes completely different descriptions of a pay lens. 00:18:52
You get a convoluted evaluation. 00:18:57
That was that was probably my fault for not digging into it at that time, but hopefully it explained it in the e-mail that went 00:18:59
out to each of you. 00:19:03
What this request is, is to move all of the. 00:19:06
Previous expenses with the blessing of the auditor. 00:19:09
Into the professional services land so that we can truly and agritly reflect. 00:19:11
Tire painters. 00:19:16
Charges for the balance of this year as professional services. 00:19:18
And then obviously any additional expenses will be negotiated out of this fund, will negotiate between the parties themselves. 00:19:22
The Commissioners and the Council so. 00:19:29
Just trying to get this cleaned up. 00:19:32
So that we can accurately reflect. 00:19:33
What? 00:19:35
Charges. 00:19:36
Belong where? 00:19:37
And this will be paid out of them. 00:19:40
225 Band. 00:19:41
This is paid out of the ban right now. Yes, that's correct. 00:19:43
And that's the correct. 00:19:46
Balance is going to be left. 00:19:47
Yeah, yes, that is correct. 00:19:49
Yes, Sir. 00:19:51
The only thing you paid out of there would be any consulting fees for Tire Pinkster. 00:19:52
Pay the band. 00:19:58
The payment out of that in any utilities right now just to keep the facility. 00:19:59
From having any issues? 00:20:04
And keeping it. 00:20:06
So there's 250. Is that a uh. 00:20:11
A good estimate to have. 00:20:13
What's gonna cost for engineering fees and. 00:20:15
Now, now we just we just entered, we just got the agreement. I think you you. 00:20:18
I think was discussed during the joint meeting. 00:20:23
If I remember right. 00:20:27
The first accepted bid. 00:20:29
Got rejected because it was some technical or legal issues. So the second bid right now is $2.9 million. 00:20:31
I'm I'm not sure where it's all going to land. We're working. 00:20:39
With that company to try to scale back a little bit if we can. If it's not plausible, I think Doctor Harris will make sure and let 00:20:43
us know that that's not what they want to do. And then we're going to have to kind of figure out number one. 00:20:49
What are the funding options? Because with 1.67. 00:20:55
You gotta. 00:20:58
$2.9 million construction. 00:20:59
Bid that's in place. 00:21:02
You have to come up with some ideas on how you want to. 00:21:04
To move forward with this particular project. 00:21:07
Sounds like we might have skill back the uh. 00:21:11
Bid a little bit. 00:21:13
I'm sorry, sounds like we're the skill back the bid a little bit. 00:21:15
It there's a lot of options, I think a lot of discussion needs to occur for sure. I'd hate to commit and say that that's the best 00:21:20
option. 00:21:23
I think if we sit down. 00:21:28
Collectively in. 00:21:30
We discussed. 00:21:31
What the options are, I think I can help a little bit with the financial side of the things, but. 00:21:32
Take a look at what options are there. 00:21:36
And then you and the Commission, the Council and the Commissioners can make the best educated decision to move forward. 00:21:38
OK. 00:21:45
I guess for further discussion purposes I'll make a motion to approve 2F. 00:21:50
2nd. 00:21:56
Stan your. 00:21:58
You don't know that it's gonna be 250. You just wanna set this up. 00:22:00
So we can secure the building properly in the time being. Well, the. 00:22:04
So there's already utilities land set up, so this is just to take. 00:22:09
And move the tire Pinkster invoices that have previously been paid and put them into this particular fund. 00:22:13
And as we engage in any additional consulting fees? 00:22:18
Whether it's for, I guess it'd be tire painter. 00:22:21
We we have the latitude to go ahead and make sure that our vendors get paid time. 00:22:24
At anytime, if I might say anytime you need an overview of the expenses that have come out of there. 00:22:31
Obviously you can reach out to Diane and her team or. 00:22:36
I have full access to it as well. She's Grammy. The view access. I can provide the data. 00:22:38
For you to take a look at any invoice that goes out of there. 00:22:43
However you'd like to. 00:22:47
No. And it's a county asset, right And I want to make sure that until we decide well. 00:22:49
What's happening and how we're proceeding that? 00:22:53
That it's protected as best as possible, That's one, absolutely. 00:22:56
Absolutely. Yes, Sir. 00:22:59
Anything else? 00:23:05
No, all in favor of 2F say aye. 00:23:07
Aye, any opposed? 00:23:11
That carries. 00:23:14
OK. Well, again, thank you for the latitude here. 00:23:15
Gonna move forward #8. 00:23:19
So #8 is an interlocal agreement with the Town of Greenville. 00:23:23
The Planning Commission obviously has entered into an agreement. It's a, it's a. 00:23:28
Two year ongoing internal local agreement. 00:23:33
Every two years this is presented to the commissioners and the council to make sure that they're still participating in this 00:23:35
agreement, what we do in Floyd County. 00:23:40
Are in the county planning and zoning areas as we provide the services. 00:23:44
To Greenville. 00:23:48
At a nominal cost monthly. 00:23:50
And then the fees that are charged for any permits that are issued. 00:23:52
Based on the the approval of. 00:23:56
Are qualified folks. 00:23:58
To assist the town of Greenville, Who? 00:24:00
Has no resources to do this. 00:24:02
It gives. 00:24:05
It brings a little bit of income into the county. 00:24:06
But it also creates a great partnership for us working with Greenville as they. 00:24:09
Are starting to expand a little bit more each year as well, so. 00:24:15
I make a motion, we accept 8A. 00:24:18
2nd. 00:24:21
Have a motion and 2nd for 8A, any further questions or mentioned stand? So any fees, permit fees and all that comes to the county, 00:24:22
right? Yes, Sir. 00:24:25
OK. Yes, Sir. 00:24:30
Anything else? 00:24:34
All in favor of eight a say aye. 00:24:35
Aye, any opposed? 00:24:38
That carries. 00:24:39
#10 Thank you again, I appreciate the gracious latitude so #10. 00:24:42
Our highway Superintendent, Sidney ME, is here. 00:24:48
This is an item that it took us a little bit of time to kind of work so if. 00:24:51
You probably know more about this maybe than I, but the the road department teachers union has categorized a variety of jobs. 00:24:56
At the Rural Department, there's 3332 arthritis positions. 00:25:03
And they're classified in a variety of different. 00:25:08
Skill based. 00:25:12
Positions so. 00:25:14
What we have is. 00:25:16
We're going back up one quick step. 00:25:18
We are purchasing. 00:25:21
About $1.2 million in upgraded equipment, all of. 00:25:23
Sydney's been battling end of life equipment for a significant amount of time. 00:25:28
So we're looking at trying to. 00:25:33
Upgrade some of the equipment that the road department has to continue to service Floyd County. 00:25:35
In the optimal fashion that we expect Floyd can to be taken care of. 00:25:41
And saying that he had to take. 00:25:45
One of his positions. 00:25:48
And he wanted to upgrade it to a. 00:25:50
From a truck driver labor to a truck driver. 00:25:53
Tractor, truck tractor Mid grade operator. 00:25:57
In doing that. 00:26:01
This is just a classification of one of the authorized positions within the realm of the Teamsters Junior. 00:26:02
What we did? 00:26:08
Sydney did offset this as when he lost his mechanic. 00:26:09
He promoted from within. His new mechanic now is now his fabricator. 00:26:13
So the fabricator position. 00:26:18
Actually is been filled, but that person doesn't do the fabricating jobs, so that salary is a dollar less than what the 00:26:21
fabricator. 00:26:25
Position previously made. 00:26:30
So in saying that. 00:26:32
This position, transfer or conversion. 00:26:34
Is an increase of $0.65 per hour for this person to be eligible to drive the tractors that we're bringing on board? 00:26:37
So there's. 00:26:44
It's just a classification request. It's not a. We're not asking for extra money, we're saving the. 00:26:45
$0.35 per hour, still saving $0.35 per hour. 00:26:50
But we just reallocating it and we're getting a really good handle on all the classifications and who fits in each classification. 00:26:55
And I really appreciate Sydney and Michelle working with me to help me understand this entire complex. 00:27:01
Situation and. 00:27:07
I think. 00:27:09
Future points I'll be able to scrap this. 00:27:10
Much better SO. 00:27:12
I'll make a motion for 10A. 00:27:14
2nd. 00:27:15
We have a motion and a second. Michelle, you all good? 00:27:16
All good. Any further questions or discussion I'll just make a comment so Sydney he don't have to be in a ditch no more and gets 00:27:20
it via operating controls. 00:27:24
Right. He drives truck and he sits up far in the backhoe. 00:27:28
Who's that? You don't have to be in No ***** Labor's in the ditch. 00:27:33
All right. Any further questions? 00:27:39
All in favor of 10A say aye. 00:27:41
Aye, any opposed? 00:27:43
That carries. 00:27:45
Thank you. 00:27:48
I think that's it. 00:27:48
Never go back. 00:27:50
Thank you very much. I appreciate. Thank you. Have a good day, Sam. 00:27:51
All right, we have Diana. 00:27:57
She has a couple additional appropriation requests. They're all in grant funds. 00:28:03
So we have. 00:28:10
1A, which is a request for an additional appropriation in her Family Court grant. 00:28:11
That's the entire balance of the fund. Basically, she's looking. 00:28:16
Use the monies that are in her fund. 00:28:20
So 3000. 00:28:23
$0.97 because of dollar $0.97. 00:28:25
ABC. 00:28:30
Are all the same. 00:28:31
It's just allocating the money is in her grant funds so that they can be spent. 00:28:33
There is a little discrepancy in BI. 00:28:37
Well, first of all, I'll make a motion for a. 00:28:39
Or one AB and C. 00:28:42
If you're talking about the discrepancy on C. 00:28:44
She already has. I think it's $250 that are allocated to be spent. 00:28:48
And she's allocating the remainder. 00:28:54
OK, what about the thesis 2307896 and she wants. 00:28:56
23097. 00:29:01
We're going to double check it. 00:29:04
So I guess is. 00:29:07
Are these line items going to stay open? Is she going to get more grants to replenish those? 00:29:08
So the majority of these grants. 00:29:14
Are kind of just. 00:29:17
Most of these are are remaining funds. They're not. 00:29:19
Active. 00:29:22
Grants that have been receiving monies in They're just funds that are. 00:29:24
Hanging out there that need to be spent in the treatment courts that they're applied to. So that's kind of what this is. This is a 00:29:28
lot of its cleanup, which I am actually very appreciative of. 00:29:32
I will say that our while she's checking the balance. 00:29:38
I will say that a lot of our department heads took an initiative last year towards the end of 2025 to find their little funds that 00:29:40
had. 00:29:44
Random remaining balances that had never been spent and get those spent so that we weren't carrying. 00:29:50
$25 in this fund and. 00:29:55
$7.00 in this fund and $0.51 in this fund and. 00:29:57
Into the new year to clean up our funds and that was very much appreciated by my office and by me personally. 00:30:01
I guess. 00:30:09
Question I would ask is. 00:30:10
It's it's your department. 00:30:13
So is that line going to stay open that can be used or it's going to be zeroed out and go away? 00:30:15
Once she spends it, this fund kind of disappears. It will go inactive after a full calendar year of no activity. Meaning no no 00:30:19
fund balance, no in or outs. Then it just gets purged. 00:30:25
It just gets OK. 00:30:31
Turned. 00:30:33
So the 2307896 is the correct fund balance. Let me see what I advertise. 00:30:48
Well, we can only appropriate the fund balance, so. 00:30:59
Right. 00:31:04
So it's it is the 2307896. The actual fund balance is the accurate current fund balance. 00:31:06
So even if we advertise the 2309796, we can only appropriate the the lower number so. 00:31:13
If a motion is made, just motion for the balance of the fund. 00:31:18
Would you like to? 00:31:23
Do you want me to amend? Please do. 00:31:24
I make a motion to approve AB and CB. 00:31:26
Being. 00:31:31
The total balance of the fund. 00:31:32
Thank you. 00:31:34
On who seconded that one. 00:31:36
I did second. 00:31:37
Alright, we have. 00:31:38
A motion, a second for one AB and C Any discussion? 00:31:40
All in favor say aye. 00:31:47
Aye, any opposed? 00:31:48
That carries. 00:31:50
Thank you. 00:31:51
Welcome. 00:32:09
Good evening. 00:32:11
So I'm here once again. I can tell how quickly the year goes because. 00:32:12
I'm like it's time to get my fund appropriated again to give out new grants so. 00:32:16
I'm requesting 51,000 from. 00:32:21
They taught task force. 00:32:25
And if you have any questions about our comprehensive plan or anything, I'll be happy to answer that. 00:32:28
I moved to approve 3A. 00:32:34
2nd. 00:32:35
Motion a second for 3A. Any questions for Rhonda? 00:32:36
Hey, thanks all. 00:32:40
All in favor say aye aye. Any opposed? There you go. There you go. 00:32:42
Health Department. 00:32:51
Doctor, it's just one that amplify a little bit on what Mr. Howell was talking about earlier. We did meet with Tower Pinkston on 00:32:57
the 28th to look at some cost saving measures and so there there'll be undoubtedly some professional fees associated with that 00:33:01
visit. 00:33:06
We don't have the estimate back from the the actual construction company yet on what kind of savings we have with those 00:33:11
interventions. So it's still a work in progress. I don't think it's it's time to close the Tower Kingston account yet. 00:33:17
Are you all getting actual construction bids? Is that what we're saying? OK, yeah, yeah. Well, we, we, we sort of gave them some. 00:33:24
Stuff we could live without, stuff that we can't live without, and then ask them to sort of give us numbers based off that to see 00:33:29
if we could. 00:33:33
You know, contains some cost, but yet still keep capability and sort of make this the generational fix that we're looking. 00:33:36
Got it. OK. Then I'll put Brian up for the actual number. 00:33:43
Brian Potter for Charlotte Pass for the Floyd County Health Department. 00:33:49
We are requesting appropriations for Preparedness Health. 00:33:54
The states already approved the budget. 00:33:59
You guys need to get the money appropriated so we can spend it. 00:34:01
Move to approve for a. 00:34:05
Motion and a second for 4A. Any questions or discussion? 00:34:09
The office equipment that's going to go in the new building. 00:34:13
It's actually for a trailer. 00:34:16
OK, for what? 00:34:19
For a trailer. For a trailer. 00:34:20
Any other questions? 00:34:26
All in favor of 4A say aye. 00:34:27
Aye, any opposed? 00:34:30
That curious. Thank you. 00:34:32
Diana for Mr. 00:34:35
OK. 00:34:41
SO5A is a it's appropriating the Caesars Foundation grants into its spend lines in the 1179 fund. 00:34:44
So you have a. 00:34:55
2500 going into contractual services and 2500 going into miscellaneous supplies. 00:34:57
I will tell you that. 00:35:02
5B is similar. 1178 that's all grant appropriations into their spend lines. 00:35:03
I'll make a motion for 5A and B. 00:35:11
2nd. 00:35:13
Motion and a second for 5A and B, any discussion? 00:35:14
All in favor say aye. 00:35:21
Aye, any opposed? 00:35:23
That carries. 00:35:24
Mr. Dennison did e-mail myself and Danny about his grant proposals. I believe that Mister Short is going to go over those. 00:35:25
Real quick with you guys, and I'm going to stay up here because I'm also Kelly Deuser. 00:35:32
OK. 00:35:35
The Ready 2.0. 00:35:35
Is a proposal to help finish small amphitheater project and improve surrounding area including park and multi use path. 00:35:38
The same Debt CARES grant is a proposal to further digitize parks and connected systems, including new signage with QR codes at 00:35:45
shelter pavilions and other park amenities. 00:35:49
And Indiana Department of Health Tactical Urbanism. 00:35:54
Proposal to improve pedestrian and bicycle safety at both external and internal points in San Peden Community Park. 00:35:57
And the Floyd County 4H fairgrounds and external points at Herman Collier Park. 00:36:04
Danny with these grants fully fund most projects. 00:36:09
That I don't know. I believe it would on. 00:36:13
The second two, but the first one I think is a multi layered. 00:36:17
That's my understanding. 00:36:24
The amphitheater would be. 00:36:25
Site prep and then. 00:36:28
Engineering and you know it would be a. 00:36:30
Multi year multi layer. 00:36:32
Grant. 00:36:33
Proposal type thing. 00:36:35
That's just the last two I believe are fully. 00:36:36
Fully done that. 00:36:39
So do either of you know? Is this the first? 00:36:40
Phase of the amphitheater project, yes. 00:36:42
Yeah. 00:36:45
Yeah, there is a. 00:36:47
If you ever want some cool. 00:36:49
Reading in maps and drawings. 00:36:51
The. 00:36:54
20 year parks plan is planned. Comprehensive plan. 00:36:55
But that's it's part of that, yes. 00:36:59
Yeah, yeah, just kind of. There's no way we're going to be able to do everything at once. So we're. 00:37:01
Yeah. 00:37:06
Taking it a bite hopefully. I'm still I'm impressed using it step by step as best he can. 00:37:07
Yes, he's he's working it step by step and hopefully he's around. 00:37:11
Long enough to see a lot of it through. 00:37:15
And doesn't leave us. So he didn't indicate on these grant proposals, but. 00:37:18
Is he got a grant proposal in for the Fed from the feds too to that? 00:37:22
That's already. 00:37:25
That's already been, I think that's for 2627, I mean. 00:37:26
For 2027, grants haven't. 00:37:30
I think they're doing it this week, yeah. I'm not sure that's technically classified as a grant either. That's just federal money. 00:37:34
But yeah, he's well aware of that. 00:37:38
Of that Ave. now so. 00:37:42
It's pretty cool Georgetown got 1,000,000 bucks. 00:37:45
All right. 00:37:51
So a motion to approve him moving forward with these grants for. 00:37:53
5C so moved. 00:37:57
Second motion. A second. Any further questions or discussion? 00:37:58
All in favor say aye. 00:38:02
Aye, any opposed? 00:38:04
That carries. 00:38:05
Diana for Kelly. 00:38:07
This is moving the insurance money that they got back on the total vehicle that happened outside with the. 00:38:09
Incident that occurred a few months ago. 00:38:15
Into their vehicle lines to help cover the. 00:38:18
The two vehicles, the one that replaced the total vehicle, and then. 00:38:21
The additional vehicle that is replacing another very old car in their pool so. 00:38:25
Move to approve 6A. 00:38:33
Second motion and a second for 6A. Any further discussion? 00:38:35
All in favor say aye. 00:38:40
Aye, any opposed? 00:38:42
That carries. Thank you. 00:38:44
Michelle Portwood and. 00:38:45
Good evening. 00:38:51
I am here to ask for approval of the solid waste job descriptions that I emailed to you all. 00:38:52
On February the 27th. 00:38:58
So that commissioners approve them in their last meeting. So it's up to you guys. 00:39:02
Mojo Proof 7A. 00:39:12
2nd. 00:39:14
Emotion and a second. 00:39:15
Any questions for Michelle? 00:39:16
These are all part-time positions, right? Except for the director and the. 00:39:19
The director is the only fulfillment, all the others are part time. 00:39:23
OK. 00:39:26
All in favor 7A say aye. 00:39:31
Aye, any opposed? 00:39:33
Thank you. B is an amended salary ordinance to add solid waste to the county's salary ordinance. 00:39:36
And then also you guys approved an increase for two maintenance guys last month. 00:39:44
So that is on the amended salary ordinance as well. 00:39:50
Move to approve 7B. 00:39:55
Second motion and a second 47-B. 00:39:58
There's no change to their salaries, right? 00:40:01
There is no changes to any other salaries. OK. 00:40:04
Any further questions? 00:40:11
All in favor say aye. 00:40:14
Aye. 00:40:15
Any opposed? 00:40:16
Aye, that carries. 00:40:17
The last one is for an appropriation for easy hire. That is the. 00:40:20
Applicant tracking system that we talked about in the joint meeting. 00:40:26
We currently have. 00:40:31
Four or five jobs posted on the county's website. 00:40:33
And then you likely saw an e-mail from me today. 00:40:37
Posting the solid waste director. 00:40:41
That job as well. 00:40:44
So I have 6 jobs that need to be posted and. 00:40:45
As a reminder, indeed only allows 3 and 4 only. 00:40:49
30 days. 00:40:54
I'll make a motion for. 00:40:55
Flag it motion and a second for 7C. 00:40:58
Any questions for Michelle? 00:41:01
Now this for a year. 00:41:03
So the majority, good question. So the majority of that money is 6000 is the setup fee? 00:41:05
The annual cost should be about 3500 a year. 00:41:11
Any other questions? 00:41:18
All in favour of seven C say aye. 00:41:21
Aye, any opposed? 00:41:23
Thank you. 00:41:25
Thank you. 00:41:26
You're up, Scott. 00:41:31
Good evening. Good evening. 00:41:36
She's deputy County Sheriff's Office. 00:41:38
Apologize for Steve Bush, he doubled with himself so. 00:41:40
I'm here to. 00:41:44
Ask for what he is asking. 00:41:45
So I have three things. 00:41:48
The first year just grant proposals. 00:41:50
Getting your audience approval to move forward with those. 00:41:52
So there's a small rural travel body worn camera program for body cameras. 00:41:55
We're going to attempt to try to get. 00:42:00
And then there's the Chirp Rat, which is the. 00:42:02
Several things that they do, kind of seat belt, following the buses around, doing the stop arms. 00:42:06
It's a pretty good program. 00:42:10
We bought quite a few tickets on farms. 00:42:12
I don't know if I need to. 00:42:16
Stop there, and then let's stop right there. 00:42:17
Won't take up 9. A first move to approve 9A is. 00:42:20
Advertise. 00:42:24
I have a motion and a second. Any questions? 00:42:26
Are these matching grants or? 00:42:28
They actually their total reimburse well the the body grant 1. 00:42:31
We don't know, I said. How much they'll give us. We don't even know if we'll be. 00:42:34
So I mean, is it a matching grant though? 00:42:37
I mean, do you have to pay something? 00:42:39
To get something. 00:42:41
I don't know. 00:42:43
He didn't, really. 00:42:44
Fill me in on that part of it. It's in the same grant that he said with the chirp or the body worn. 00:42:45
Camera. I'm not sure which Granny said he's at. 00:42:49
The but I wasn't, I think it was the body camera. It it was a matching gram. 00:42:52
So we may have to come up with we have money in that line for that. That's why I was going to ask, are you all able to if it's a 00:42:57
matching grant to pay that? 00:43:00
This may be some fair questions, Scott. 00:43:08
Y'all know me? I'm big on these acronyms. What does that stand for? 00:43:11
Which one community I assume? 00:43:14
Sure. Was that was that a bird or what is that? Well, I can find out, but it is something about community. I'd say community, 00:43:16
maybe health. 00:43:20
You know, we can look it up. 00:43:25
Basically what they're out doing mostly is doing the stop arms on the buses. 00:43:26
So you know that's you know that's a matching or not. 00:43:29
That ones a reimbursement. 00:43:32
So we pay that and they reimburse us fully. OK, So it's a fed, it's actually a federal grant that comes through see just like care 00:43:34
and then. 00:43:37
It's like the old. 00:43:40
Project gonna be our project. 00:43:42
It's just you. 00:43:44
The federal government that comes through the state through See, just a minute, OK? 00:43:45
So they we pay it at first out of our own time that they reimburse us for it. 00:43:49
OK. 00:43:52
I do know the accident. I can't think of it right now. 00:43:54
Comprehensive Hwy. injury reduction. 00:43:57
Program. There you go. 00:43:59
Thank you. 00:44:02
It's amazing what those phones do. 00:44:03
Have have we had that grant before? 00:44:05
We have. 00:44:07
And there was no issues as far as. 00:44:08
OK, good. Alright. 00:44:11
Did we have it last year? 00:44:13
So there's. 00:44:16
No reason why we shouldn't think that we would get it. 00:44:17
All right. Any further questions on 9/8? 00:44:24
All in favor say aye. 00:44:26
Aye, any opposed? 00:44:28
Don't scary. 00:44:30
The bee is the body armor. 00:44:32
That we have an invoice for. 00:44:35
I think there were some questions about why we didn't budget this. 00:44:38
I really can't answer that. The sheriff's had conversations. I don't know with who or when. 00:44:42
It does come up every five years. It's not it's not like a yearly thing that happens. 00:44:46
I would say. 00:44:51
It's not an ignorant thing that we didn't know because. 00:44:52
We know. 00:44:55
But it's. 00:44:56
More of a remembrance thing that it. 00:44:57
That it showed up the last time we bought body armor was. 00:44:59
The last administration. 00:45:02
Than here was I was there during budget talk. I don't know why it didn't come up. 00:45:03
But we certainly. 00:45:08
Are we, the county are obligated to do this? 00:45:09
My statue. 00:45:13
Most of it's for us, but we do piggyback for. 00:45:15
Adult probation and community corrections as well. So there's about. 00:45:18
Twenty of these body armor. 00:45:22
It's not for the sheriff's departments, for other. 00:45:23
Other entities that wear money off. 00:45:27
So other other than that, I guess we just did. 00:45:29
How to pay for it? 00:45:33
In the past administration, this was covered by a grant. 00:45:36
Part of the past administration. I don't know how they pick work. 00:45:40
Staying. We're still here. We could have asked him, but. 00:45:44
Motion to approve 9 B for discussion purposes. 00:45:48
I'll second it. 00:45:56
All right, we have a motion and a second take off. 00:45:57
Where are you funded this from? 00:46:02
I'm guessing it's gonna have to come out public safety lid. 00:46:05
I guess I'll just start. I'm a. 00:46:10
I guess. 00:46:13
Scott, we're all frustrated that. 00:46:14
There's five years. 00:46:16
Is a long time people should. 00:46:18
Plan five years in advance that. 00:46:20
And I don't understand statute. The statute is the statute. 00:46:24
Hey and so I from what I understand some of your officers have like 4 hanging in their fault. 00:46:27
But the statute says we have to provide body armor. But I guess the first thing I'll speak for me. 00:46:34
Frustrating thing is, is it wasn't. 00:46:40
Put in the budget. 00:46:42
And then? 00:46:44
And I will just go ahead and state it. If we hadn't, if we didn't have the public safety lid, I'm not sure where we pay for that. 00:46:45
So I guess the frustrating thing for me is that it just. 00:46:53
Knowing this something that is an ongoing, ongoing thing. 00:46:57
5 every five years and. 00:47:00
I assume Scott, you received new body armor five years ago. 00:47:02
OK. And so it's just that's. 00:47:06
Just the frustration. 00:47:08
And I I don't question that. 00:47:10
It's got to be done. 00:47:12
I think everybody on this body would say. 00:47:13
The faintest saying Cliche. I support the blue. 00:47:16
It's nothing that we don't support the blue, it's just that we're. 00:47:20
For I personally frustrated that it wasn't. 00:47:23
Properly. 00:47:26
Done through the budget process and that's. 00:47:27
And I can absolutely say we have. 00:47:30
Apologize for that, ask your all suggestions. 00:47:32
Because when it is every five years and it overlaps administration's out of. 00:47:35
I don't know who's supposed to remember. 00:47:39
That it's time if we should have but we. 00:47:41
But we didn't. 00:47:43
And then it. 00:47:44
But suddenly we. 00:47:46
By statute we have to require. 00:47:47
The body armor has to be purchased. 00:47:49
I don't know who. 00:47:52
He only sets. 00:47:53
We're buying. I got the invoice here. 00:47:55
So it's. 00:47:59
This is kind of hard to read, but it looks like. 00:48:06
81 but but it looks like there's about 20 of those that are going. 00:48:09
To adult probation and community corrections so. 00:48:13
How many roll how many you got 60? 00:48:16
With 47 as of right now and three reserves which are required to buy for reserves, but we also have. 00:48:18
Process servers. 00:48:23
That we have to buy, for we have. 00:48:25
We go ahead and buy them for the transport teams, the uniform. 00:48:28
Anybody that we? 00:48:32
Is in the public and could possibly be. 00:48:34
Michelle where? 00:48:37
There's even a little bit of trouble. We make them go. We make jail officers take. 00:48:38
Inmates to the hospital and he knows where we've had people shot there before, but we don't even. 00:48:41
Give all of them. 00:48:45
Body armor, but they. 00:48:46
They do. Do we try to make transport guys do that? 00:48:48
Court team guys do that, but people went to the hospital all the time and. 00:48:50
They're actually out there. Some of them might be without body armor. 00:48:53
But it's we've never kind of whipped the the full. 00:48:56
And that's for every single person who has a gun. 00:49:00
You could be at the pub. I mean you, you could buy the body armor for the correction guys out of the concert. What's that? You 00:49:02
could buy the commentary out for the body armor out of the commissary if you wanted. 00:49:07
We could. 00:49:11
Yeah, yeah, That was gonna be a question I asked because I bring this up every time we come up, these extra expenses for the 00:49:14
Sheriff's Department looking at. 00:49:17
All the funds are available in there, why don't we? 00:49:21
Try to get them to draw down from some. 00:49:23
Just for. 00:49:28
My like, if we're doing a budget that's five years from now, we just need to ask for a one time you because you couldn't I don't 00:49:34
did you create something that because it goes away. It's only once every five years. I have I mean I I looked at the statute and I 00:49:39
don't I can't remember my heart, but I do know for police officers, we we are. 00:49:44
By law have to. 00:49:49
Yes, so. 00:49:51
What the rest I don't know. 00:49:54
I don't know. 00:49:55
But it I think it that's that would precedent what's done in the past since we've always piggyback with community correction, 00:49:57
adult probation, but we didn't have Senate Bill 1 and passed so. 00:50:01
So that's that's we, we pulled the trigger on this probably faster. I mean it we something somebody knew that it was the five 00:50:06
years. 00:50:10
I didn't. 00:50:14
I mean, I'll be honest with you, I'm not. 00:50:15
OK, let's just. 00:50:17
Scott, one other question, is this an all in number like there's not going to be next year. So this covers this cover SWAT. I mean 00:50:19
we actually we do other things. We partner with other other counties. Sometimes we do pay for that discretionary fund to try to 00:50:24
help out with the SWAT team when they when they need. 00:50:29
This might be some SWAT team guys you've already bought though. 00:50:35
We bought these, right? Whatever this is, this is, this is. 00:50:38
This is the invoice. This is. 00:50:43
This is, I mean, obviously it's. 00:50:45
Obviously. So they've already been picked up, so we need to pay for yeah. 00:50:48
Yeah. And obviously it's needed. We got to do it. I don't know that I agree with taking it out of it, though. 00:50:51
How do we do that discussion, Do that later or? 00:50:58
We just approve them now and then decide how we're going to decide that. 00:51:01
I need to know where to advertise an additional appropriation for the April meeting because there is no appropriation for this 00:51:06
early. 00:51:09
Right. OK. Is that during this discussion or is that another discussion? No, we need to set it up. 00:51:14
When you set it up for the so. 00:51:20
Dale's motion, though, was for lit. 00:51:23
Do we need to vote on that first? He made a motion for discussion purposes. 00:51:25
I don't think he specified which. 00:51:31
Well, I'll throw it out there. I think we should take it out of the proposed funds from the GO bond. 00:51:38
It would reduce the vehicle. 00:51:48
A potential vehicle. 00:51:50
Reply. 00:51:52
How many have you? 00:51:57
Have you even you guys talked about that? 00:51:59
Vehicles. 00:52:02
Yeah. But yeah, we go ahead. 00:52:03
It's Part 2 bids. It's, I mean, we put out in the paper twice like we're supposed to. We filed the bids. We got 2 bids. 00:52:06
One from. 00:52:11
North Carolina They. 00:52:13
Part 2 The price. 00:52:15
The other second bit was John Jones and they come in at price or that they. 00:52:16
They got the big We haven't talked to this just today. 00:52:20
So we haven't even discussed with anybody. 00:52:23
That, but yeah, we have. 00:52:25
Two bids, OK. 00:52:26
John Jones will get it. I know the price of the. 00:52:28
Cars right now what was. 00:52:30
And how many? What happens and how many? What were these? 00:52:32
60,193. 00:52:34
I think something like that, a car that's. 00:52:37
How many? How many did you get? 00:52:39
Went and bought any cars. So that was just for a car. 00:52:41
Be able to say and that's for what type of vehicle? 00:52:45
Food Patrol Vehicles, V6. 00:52:48
Durangos, OK. 00:52:51
I'm just asking, do you have? 00:52:52
You have a number you're targeting that you want Would like to get temperature car. 00:52:54
Is what we were hoping. 00:52:57
Get temperature cars. 00:52:59
Straight out and then we do the trade ends and try to work on get a detective car from. 00:53:00
Is that counting? 00:53:05
Is that counting equipment? 00:53:06
That's fully loaded. That's all in. That's the upfit, that's the 60,000 oz. I think it's 60,193, so I might the 193. 00:53:08
It's close. It's around 60,000. 00:53:17
OK, alright. 00:53:20
I know we're I, I don't mean it down to. 00:53:22
Pennies and nickels, but we gotta get down to pennies and nickels. 00:53:25
Can can one of? 00:53:30
You all let us know. 00:53:31
If we did leave. 00:53:33
Money in the vehicle budget for the Sheriff's Department for 26. So in the jail lit there is $150,000 budgeted for. 00:53:34
Vehicles 25 eight has been spins out of it. So we're at what 124 two at this point remaining in that particular line. 00:53:42
That's the only budget that is currently official for vehicles. 00:53:51
Not vehicle maintenance, so. 00:53:55
In the sheriff's budget, what did you say that number was, 128? 00:53:57
Stupid 120. 00:54:01
So the remain, yeah. 00:54:03
The remaining announced. 00:54:05
The 124 two because it was originally 150 and they've spent 25800. 00:54:08
OK. 00:54:16
On the on the Gold Bond would be appropriate. 00:54:18
We haven't appropriate anything, but we agree. 00:54:21
Our general consensus was 500,000 a year for three years and with that. 00:54:24
Extra you you could probably need to because I'm looking about 600. We would trade in probably 10 cars too to try to get. 00:54:29
Right. What we're actually wanting to try to get 11 cars, 10 patrol, right and then one detective car because we have one 00:54:37
detective car that's just. 00:54:40
And you have you have to pay federal tax rates. 00:54:44
No tax. This is that that when they give us the price, that's the price that was everything. 00:54:46
Yeah, that's good price. 00:54:50
It is actually. I was, yeah. That's that's good for us. 00:54:52
That's an outfitted price. 00:54:55
That's it's fully updated, that's lights, it's the whole, it's the whole shebang. 00:54:56
Yeah. 00:55:01
OK, well. 00:55:07
I'll just save it for another day. 00:55:08
That that's right, you would. 00:55:09
So we can advertise it from both if we want. Do we want to do that? 00:55:11
For what? 00:55:14
When you say both, I'm sorry to advertise anything from the Govan. 00:55:15
Your monies are appropriate, right? 00:55:19
Spend them however you vote to choose. 00:55:21
That's a control factor through my office and you're bored. 00:55:24
Anywhere else? 00:55:27
Would have to be advertised and appropriated unless you utilize the 124 two that's already in the jail. 00:55:30
We can authorize it from the go bond tonight. 00:55:43
Correct. 00:55:45
If that's what we. 00:55:47
That's how we want to pay for it. It's either that or that lit. 00:55:50
We have no cars on order. 00:55:54
No. 00:55:56
This is just a bit. 00:55:58
But we do have an outstanding bill of 100, Right, Right, right. Right. Yeah, right. Yeah. 00:55:59
No, I know. 00:56:03
But I'm I'm at that'll bring that down to 393 plus the 124 that doesn't get us that what we were trying. 00:56:07
Well, I mean, the only thing is. 00:56:17
We could pay it tonight and then we could revisit. 00:56:19
If the car situation comes up. 00:56:22
Public in the public safety. 00:56:24
If you want to do that all weekend, yeah, that's that's a permitted. 00:56:27
Purchase out of there. 00:56:30
So. 00:56:31
And we wanted to do that. 00:56:33
It wouldn't be something we'd want to routinely do, but. 00:56:34
If we if we had to. 00:56:37
Because that that, you know, public safety grants going to be gone and. 00:56:40
All the all the lips are probably gone. 00:56:44
So lit I mean. 00:56:45
So. 00:56:47
You got anything you guys got? Any ideas? 00:56:50
Just point of order, Mr. Chair. 00:56:53
Mr. Mellie's made a motion. I don't think it was ever seconded. 00:56:56
It was seconded. It was. It was seconded for discussion. 00:56:59
Again, we did not, Councilman Robert. 00:57:04
Alright, yeah, I did. 00:57:06
I'm good with the bond. 00:57:07
I still stick with the commissary funds. 00:57:12
I don't, I don't know that's going to be an option. I mean, I'm. 00:57:14
That's the problem is there is a state law that says we are. 00:57:18
Require divine body. 00:57:21
Now I do have a discussion about the. 00:57:24
Correction officers and I don't know whether, but the problem is we got an invoice, need to pay and I don't know when it's due. 00:57:26
That parts already done. 00:57:31
So, uh. 00:57:33
Well, the guys are walking around with the new body armor already. 00:57:35
Yeah. 00:57:37
I'm sorry, the people. 00:57:39
We're good. We thought we were good for it so. 00:57:40
If if you want to amend. 00:57:46
To. 00:57:48
To have it pulled from the go, bond you. 00:57:49
You have that option. 00:57:52
That was my you did say from the my apologies. I thought it was for discussion only and that was seconded. 00:57:53
All right. Well then. 00:58:00
Sam, Sam. 00:58:03
If there's no further discussion, we'll just take a vote on that motion and. 00:58:05
OK, if it fails, we'll go from there. 00:58:09
Alright, so. 00:58:10
9B is to pay the 107 thousand 17265 from go bond proceeds. 00:58:12
All in favor say aye. 00:58:17
Any opposed? 00:58:19
That carries. 00:58:20
Will will take up. 00:58:22
The vehicle situation. 00:58:26
A little further down the road. 00:58:30
And that's why I'll push. Let's get somebody with commissary funded. 00:58:36
I. 00:58:41
I agree 100% then also. 00:58:46
Give me again. 00:58:48
You guys are really lucky to. 00:58:49
OK. And. 00:58:52
11 a is a request for transfer. This is for em a. 00:58:55
They are decreasing 2 of their spend lines and increasing and office equipment line. 00:58:59
Motion for 11 AM. 00:59:04
Motion a second. Any discussion? 00:59:06
All in favor say aye. 00:59:09
Any opposed? 00:59:11
It carries. 00:59:12
11B is the re advertisement and re appropriation for the 1.5 for the ambulances. 00:59:15
That the council voted not to encumber. 00:59:22
Motion for 11 B second. 00:59:25
Motion a second for 11 D Any discussion? 00:59:27
Yeah, I'll just. 00:59:30
Repeat. I was not in favor of this, so I'll definitely be voting no. 00:59:31
Any further discussion? 00:59:36
All in favor say aye. 00:59:38
Aye, those opposed. 00:59:40
Aye, that carries. 00:59:41
11-C is an unusual thing. Superior 2. 00:59:43
Needs to request additional appropriations. 00:59:47
For some professional services, they've had to utilize interpreters. 00:59:50
This year and that is not something that they typically have to do in that court, so. 00:59:55
We have an outstanding bill of $3000. They're anticipating an additional bill. 01:00:00
Anybody in this in the courthouse who speaks Spanish? 01:00:09
We used to. She left my office and I think she probably would have asked for additional monies because she was pretty. 01:00:12
Pretty mercenary. 01:00:19
I loved her. 01:00:21
I I know this is a problem so I mean. 01:00:23
We have we have the same issue so. 01:00:26
I know this is an issue. 01:00:28
But Jesus assumed it was Spanish. Maybe it was Ukrainian, you don't know. 01:00:29
You're right. 01:00:34
I mean when I worked in the jail I had to use Google Apps for Arabic so. 01:00:35
So. 01:00:39
Just just. 01:00:40
For the discussion purposes, I'll make a motion for 11 C second. 01:00:41
So my whole thing is I get it, I understand it, but. 01:00:46
This is something that should have been budgeted for. 01:00:51
Yes and no. 01:00:55
They haven't utilized an interpreter budget. 01:00:56
In years in that court. 01:00:58
So they did not request it because they haven't needed it. 01:01:00
In years and we asked them to budget. 01:01:02
For what they need. 01:01:05
Yeah, I bet they didn't budget for it next year. 01:01:07
Yeah, I bet they will. 01:01:10
I bet they will. 01:01:11
Whether they use it or not, I'm sure it will be in there. 01:01:13
Any further discussion on 11-C? 01:01:17
All in favor say aye aye. 01:01:21
Any opposed? 01:01:23
Thank you. 01:01:25
Floyd County Council new business #12. 01:01:32
12A is ordinances ordinance for transfers. 01:01:35

Motion approved. Section 12A. 01:01:42
Second motion and a second for 12A, any discussion on our transfers? 01:01:44
All in favor say aye. 01:01:49
Aye. 01:01:50
Any opposed? 01:01:52
That carries 12B is ordinance for additional appropriations. 01:01:54
So moved. 01:01:58
Second motion and 2nd for 12B. 01:02:00
Any further discussion on appropriations? 01:02:03
All in favor say aye aye. Any opposed? 01:02:07
Aye, that carries. 01:02:10
12 C is our Community Foundation appointment. I will say that we have. 01:02:12
Submitted. 01:02:17
Two resumes now. 01:02:18
So unless anybody has anymore, there's a meeting set up, I believe the lunch meeting with. 01:02:20
The representative from the Community Foundation with those two. 01:02:27
Commissioner Knabel and myself. 01:02:32
Have requested. 01:02:34
A meeting. 01:02:37
With the same representative. 01:02:39
After the fact. 01:02:41
Amend. 01:02:43
Our memorandum with them. 01:02:44
For an appointment. 01:02:47
Umm, I expressed that. 01:02:51
I didn't agree with. 01:02:53
Their largest? 01:02:55
Depositor. 01:02:57
Having to jump through hoops to get somebody on that board. So we are going to revisit. 01:02:58
That letter. 01:03:03
And hopefully we will be able to. 01:03:04
Appoint someone without having to. 01:03:08
Do a a group. 01:03:11
Interview type thing. 01:03:13
I think that's only fair and I don't. 01:03:15
See a reason why we can't amend that? If anybody else has any other suggestions, get with me. 01:03:17
I anticipate that meeting. 01:03:23
Within the next. 01:03:24
Four to six weeks, probably. 01:03:26
After they select. 01:03:27
Someone and so we can get that. 01:03:29
Ironed out. 01:03:31
Going forward. 01:03:33
Any questions on that? 01:03:36
I'll be glad to put that. 01:03:39
Chapter behind us. 01:03:41
12D is our Baker Tilly engagement letter. 01:03:44
They're interested in continuing to work with us and we're. 01:03:50
As far as I'm concerned, interested in having them on board to. 01:03:54
Do some forecasting. 01:03:59
And. 01:04:01
Some SB1 work. 01:04:02
There was a few little changes in twerks in this. 01:04:05
Session but not much. 01:04:10
Extension of a few little things at another year or two that will. 01:04:14
We'll let them brief us on that once it makes it through. 01:04:18
DLGF and SBOA for their interpretations. 01:04:22
What the what the law actually says? 01:04:26
That's my favorite. 01:04:28
So I don't know if any if y'all had. 01:04:31
A chance to read through it. It's basically same type of engagement letter as last year. Obviously we're already into March, so. 01:04:33
But they they will get started here pretty soon on season. 01:04:41
And it kind of pay as you go. 01:04:44
It is it is it's it's set pay for different. 01:04:46
Depending on who works on the project, yeah, yeah, it is. Pay as you go, that is, and where you use them, the more you pay them. 01:04:51
Right. 01:04:57
So that's why I was saying we haven't. 01:04:58
Use them yet? 01:05:00
So through the first quarter, we're OK, but we will be utilizing them personally. 01:05:01
I don't believe before we die. 01:05:06
For some. 01:05:08
Specific type things. They'll probably be finishing up some fire territory. 01:05:09
Numbers commissioners will probably pick that up and then. 01:05:14
Financial forecasting for us, especially as we get closer to. 01:05:18
27. 01:05:21
Budgets, so we have a handle. 01:05:23
On the. 01:05:25
On that going forward so. 01:05:26
If everybody's OK with that, we'll entertain a motion for. 01:05:28
12D to that we approve that engagement letter. 01:05:31
So moved second. 01:05:34
Motion a second. Any further discussion on Baker Tilly? 01:05:35
All in favor say aye. 01:05:39
Any opposed? 01:05:41
That carries. 01:05:42
So. 01:05:43
Will you let Paige know or do you want me to? 01:05:45
OK, perfect. 01:05:47
Anybody from the public? Go ahead, Yeah. 01:05:48
OK, I can do that. 01:05:51
Is there anyone from the public that would like to speak this evening? 01:05:53
Now's your chance. 01:05:57
Seeing none, I'll entertain a motion to adjourn. 01:06:00
Mr. President, can I just make a very short? 01:06:03
Committee report yes. Oh, absolutely that my fault. I should have gone through there that's all right last month I know that we 01:06:07
had a rather long meeting and that's when our. 01:06:11
We experienced the winter storm. 01:06:17
And just wanted to give a shout out to the public works employees and the first responders who did an excellent job. 01:06:20
During that storm. And a special shout out to EMA. 01:06:27
Who transported? 01:06:31
Through their volunteer program. 01:06:34
540. 01:06:36
Medical staff employees to. 01:06:38
I think 8. 01:06:42
Different. 01:06:43
Medical facilities. 01:06:44
In Carcomfort County. 01:06:46
So just want to give a shout out that's pretty cool to see. 01:06:48
Yeah, absolutely. 01:06:51
Thank you. 01:06:52
Jim. 01:06:53
Good, Matt. 01:06:55
Sam, I'm good. 01:06:57
I'll make a motion. 01:07:00
2nd. 01:07:01
We are adjourned. 01:07:02
Don't leave, you got things to say. 01:07:07
