	We have a motion, a second. Is there any discussion on tonight's agenda?	00:01:42
	All in favor say aye.	00:01:47
	Aye, any opposed?	00:01:49
	That carries approval of minutes for.	00:01:50
	Our May 12th meeting.	00:01:53
	I have a motion in a second.	00:01:58
	Any discussion on those?	00:02:00
	All in favor say aye.	00:02:03
	Aye, any opposed?	00:02:04
	I've stained since I was.	00:02:06
	Was not present.	00:02:07
	Anyone from the public?	00:02:10
	Wish to speak?	00:02:11
	All right. We will open up public hearing for tonight's additional appropriations. Anyone from the public want to speak on those?	00:02:15
	Seeing none, we will adjourn the public hearing and move on to new business #1.	00:02:24
	Stanley.	00:02:29
	Hey, good evening and happy June the 9th I.	00:02:37
	Yes, right.	00:02:39
	Issue a Life Jackets thanks to our first responders and our great role department teams, you know they're keeping Floyd County as	00:02:41
	safe as we can.	00:02:45
	This first item I've got is the.	00:02:50
	Exactly a stormwater request.	00:02:54
	Umm, we're working under a contract with Heritage Engineering for stormwater and erosion control projects.	00:02:56
	The projects are evolving so I'm just asking.	00:03:05
	To have an additional appropriation set in professional services of the $250,000.	00:03:08
	The 1197 fund. I've done the forecast.	00:03:15
	We have about $440,000 in appropriating power.	00:03:19
	Based on the forecast in that fund.	00:03:24
	Currently, and again, appropriating power is.	00:03:26
	The generator revenue less the appropriations that are currently set. So it gives us a little bit of latitude, so.	00:03:29
	I'm just asking so that we can cover these professional service projects for erosion control for the violence of this year.	00:03:37
	Move to approve 1A.	00:03:45
	2nd.	00:03:47
	Motion and 2nd, any other questions for Stan? So this is just engineering. This is not actual construction work yet. That's	00:03:48
	correct, Sir. Yep.	00:03:51
	Are there any specific?	00:03:55
	Areas.	00:03:56
	I can I can get you a list of those.	00:04:01
	I didn't get them out to you in an e-mail if that's OK.	00:04:03
	It's, it's pretty much county wide though, isn't it? It, it, it pretty much is. It's it as we talked about it, it's, it's evolving	00:04:06
	projects.	00:04:09
	Role Department works in coordination with the Stormwater Board and the Stormwater Team.	00:04:14
	So they're just identifying those locations where there seems to be issues and they go out and they'll do the engineering study to	00:04:19
	determine how we can.	00:04:23
	Correct the issues that are involving.	00:04:27
	But these are specific projects, not a retainer.	00:04:30
	No, that's correct. They are specific projects, yes.	00:04:33
	Anything else for Stan?	00:04:38
	All in favor of 1A say aye aye.	00:04:40
	Any opposed?	00:04:43
	That carries. Thank you very much.	00:04:44
	B. This is there's two requests for appropriate additional appropriations. The first one is the I'd like to.	00:04:48
	Reversal Max if you don't mind the 3317 Grandline Rd.	00:04:55
	This is the health department ban.	00:04:58
	The current cash balance as stated on here.	00:05:01
	But the band itself.	00:05:05
	57,000 and some.	00:05:07
	Let's see where to go.	00:05:10
	57,000 is a change.	00:05:13
	It's right here.	00:05:15
	And that's there's two payments of that. So it comes to the 115902.	00:05:21
	57 Thousand 95095.	00:05:28
	So we make 2 payments to the band and the the band funds actually have.	00:05:30
	In the adoption allowed us to pay the ban monies from this.	00:05:35
	Particular fund so.	00:05:40
	The 1:15 Nano 2 is the band payment kind of as we've talked about previously in the.	00:05:41
	The allocation of these funds.	00:05:47
	The balance of the remaining cash in that particular fund is 1,000,002 Sixty 408595 and.	00:05:49
	I'd like to go ahead and request the appropriation to be set in the construction line.	00:05:57
	I'll exhaust the ban money if this is agreeable with the Council before we start.	00:06:02
	Using the funds that you've allocated through the GO bond.	00:06:07
	So that's that's our intentions anyway.	00:06:11
	And that's what this request is for.	00:06:15
	Yes, that's correct. Yeah. Yeah, I just talked.	00:06:17
	Just talked about the band first. OK, so yes, absolutely.	00:06:22
	Move to approve 1B.	00:06:29
	2nd.	00:06:32
	We have a motion a second for 1B.	00:06:33
	Any discussion or questions for Stan?	00:06:36
	So the 1:15 is the interest.	00:06:39
	That's the interest payments for the balance of just this year.	00:06:41
	That's another issue that will have to have some discussions.	00:06:45
	Potentially during budget time, where are we going to pay the band interest from in?	00:06:48
	Succeeding years 27 through 30.	00:06:52
	And then also utilities and.	00:06:55
	Basically just the utilities I think are the only, I think we've exhausted the tire Pinkster contract.	00:06:59
	So it'd be just utilities that would leverage.	00:07:04
	Some is going to need some money to pay for the balance of this year so.	00:07:07
	Stan, what about earlier this year we opened up some funds just to cover the securing of the building and for utilities. Have we	00:07:14
	spent through that?	00:07:18
	Yeah, the.	00:07:23
	That the the request actually.	00:07:25
	Accounts for those appropriations, so those are still remaining in the open appropriations, I think.	00:07:28
	See, I think I have a but.	00:07:33
	Budget report.	00:07:35
	I can tell you how much is remaining in those lines.	00:07:38
	So in the utility line.	00:07:41
	There's about $90,000 remaining in that particular line, so.	00:07:43
	Probably be pretty good for the.	00:07:47
	Excuse me for the balance of this year.	00:07:49
	And if there any remaining funds in that utility line, obviously will move them over into the construction line as a year.	00:07:51
	The end of the year approaches.	00:07:58
	To cover any expenses again before we tap into the Gold Bond mining.	00:07:59
	Any further questions on 1D?	00:08:07
	All in favor say aye.	00:08:10
	Aye, any opposed?	00:08:11
	That carries.	00:08:14
	And let's see.	00:08:16
	See this.	00:08:18
	C is the Community Crossings paving Grant.	00:08:23
	Money, that was.	00:08:27
	Paid to Floyd County, so we're just looking to house that in the the grant.	00:08:30
	In the State Grant Fund 9130, the Capital Projects fund for the Commissioners.	00:08:35
	So this is it's a 5050 match. So this is the 50% that the state has already awarded the Floyd County for paving.	00:08:39
	I just wanted to isolate that in a line to make sure that it's strictly used for the paving. It doesn't get convoluted in any	00:08:47
	other fund or mixed or calling anywhere else this is strictly paving.	00:08:52
	All the balance of the the paving portion that's our match is coming out of our restricted lines for.	00:08:58
	For the balance of the paving that the county actually.	00:09:05
	So.	00:09:07
	Move to approve 1C.	00:09:11
	I'll second.	00:09:15
	With a motion in a second for one, see any questions for staying.	00:09:16
	Comment is when's paving gonna start.	00:09:20
	I thought you've been identified. They're already.	00:09:24
	Yeah, the well the the the contract to libs has already been granted, so.	00:09:26
	That identified all of the projects.	00:09:30
	I would assume it's wrapping up actually 20.	00:09:33
	25 paving projects.	00:09:36
	Here, I think in the next two weeks.	00:09:39
	So 26 is paving projects have been awarded to Libs. Will probably begin shortly thereafter.	00:09:41
	I can get you a list of that contract ward because I think it identified locations as well if you like so.	00:09:49
	I said we're gonna do.	00:09:54
	1.5 million worth of pavement, about 10 miles.	00:09:56
	Till we get the wheel tax money, which, well, I'm just saying.	00:10:01
	We know, we're aware what the cost repay the road. Yep.	00:10:04
	1.5 million is about.	00:10:07
	12 miles.	00:10:09
	That's not much. We've got 700 miles of roads.	00:10:10
	Unless you want to free up some extra money somewhere. Would be glad to take it for paving Sir.	00:10:13
	I didn't hear a second on that. So we'll have Fargo. No, there's no, no comments.	00:10:18
	I kind of got it there. That's OK, Sir.	00:10:29
	All right, so we have.	00:10:31
	We do have a motion in a second for one seat. Any further discussion?	00:10:33
	All in favor say aye.	00:10:37
	Aye, any opposed?	00:10:39
	That carries. Indeed, this is.	00:10:40
	A cross.	00:10:44
	Category transfer.	00:10:46
	We've set some money in the.	00:10:47
	The 11:35 Fund the bridge.	00:10:50
	Hume Bridge Fund.	00:10:53
	For Bridge 27 and for Bridge 51.	00:10:54
	But the bridge inspection through that was under contract with Structure Point.	00:10:58
	The invoices came in a little quicker than had than I had anticipated, so we didn't want to delay in paying Structure Point, we	00:11:04
	wanted to get this paid.	00:11:08
	Because we can now file for an 8020 match on those invoices. Once we make the payment, we can.	00:11:13
	Request the 80% back.	00:11:19
	Which is state grant funded as well, so.	00:11:21
	I'm just asking that.	00:11:25
	To move funds that we originally delegated to Bridge 51 and 27 into the professional services so we can pay structure point.	00:11:27
	Get our reimbursement and then we'll carry the reimbursement back to these two particular lines to continue funding the projects	00:11:34
	for.	00:11:37
	21 and 57.	00:11:41
	Move to approve 1D.	00:11:44
	2nd.	00:11:46
	We have a motion a second for 1D.	00:11:47
	Any further discussion?	00:11:49
	So, Stan, these aren't like unexpected costs. These are.	00:11:50
	They just hit a little quicker than what we had, than what I had anticipated on the budgeting side of things, so.	00:11:54
	Yes, Sir.	00:11:59
	Any further discussion?	00:12:02
	All in favor of 1D say aye.	00:12:04
	Aye, any opposed?	00:12:07
	Thank you very much. I appreciate your time.	00:12:09
	Diana Topping.	00:12:12
	Good evening.	00:12:18
	But 2A is a request for appropriation in my ineligible non regarding fund.	00:12:20
	And the Commissioners were gracious enough to.	00:12:26
	Approve a.	00:12:29
	Contractual intern for our office at the end of last month to come in and help.	00:12:30
	Organize everything in the cage for when it gets shipped.	00:12:36
	To SBS.	00:12:40
	For for scanning and indexing and digitizing.	00:12:41
	We had to create a.	00:12:47
	There's a lot of work that had to go into that and.	00:12:50
	Quite frankly, my staff of seven doesn't have the time to go and spend.	00:12:52
	Weeks.	00:12:56
	Full time down in the cage making sure that everything is is inventory to accurately and sorted accurately to be shipped off.	00:12:57
	For indexing.	00:13:04
	So we.	00:13:05
	Have a contract in place for a part-time intern?	00:13:08
	30 to 35 hours a week because they're temporary through the summer.	00:13:12
	I think they'll be done mid-july is when they go back to school. We got them at 1615 an hour which is the standard part time rate	00:13:16
	in the county.	00:13:20
	At the the young man in question.	00:13:24
	Just finished his master's degree at Purdue and is returning this fall for his PhD in computer engineering. So we got a very	00:13:27
	overqualified young man for a very underpaid position to come in and sort through.	00:13:32
	The.	00:13:38
	Ridiculous amount of paperwork that is housed in my storage cage.	00:13:39
	And index and inventory for us.	00:13:44
	Move to approve 2A.	00:13:49
	2nd.	00:13:51
	Motion is second to a. Any further discussion.	00:13:52
	All in favor say aye.	00:13:57
	Any opposed?	00:13:58
	That carries.	00:14:01
	SO2B is the joint resolution before this board individually again for the historical outage to do take care of both the legacy	00:14:04
	outage which is the cash book to the bank and the historical outage which is the cash book to the funds.	00:14:11
	You've you've had plenty of time I believe to review the joint resolution. I'd be happy to go over.	00:14:19
	The corrections with you again and answer any additional questions that may have been generated and not emailed to me over the	00:14:25
	last couple weeks.	00:14:29
	But that's before this body again.	00:14:34
	Danny or Steve, just a question, are we looking just for approval on the resolution? Are we looking for allocation of funds	00:14:37
	resolution?	00:14:41
	Approval the resolution today.	00:14:46
	Approval of the resolution and because the allocation of funds has previously been advertised, the board can take that up if they	00:14:48
	so choose. This evening and and.	00:14:52
	Decide where that's coming out of.	00:14:56
	I'll make a motion to approve the Joint resolution 2026-05.	00:15:00
	With the primary source of funding coming from the investment fund account until that's depleted in the balance coming from the	00:15:05
	general fund.	00:15:09
	Flag it.	00:15:13
	All right, I'm just going to.	00:15:15
	I'm going to restate it.	00:15:17
	Coming from the interest fund saying yes second.	00:15:19
	Yeah. Thank you. So we have a motion and a second for 2B.	00:15:21
	Joint Resolution 2026-05.	00:15:26
	With the majority of the.	00:15:29
	Move coming from the interest fund.	00:15:33
	And.	00:15:35
	The rest coming from the general.	00:15:36
	With the general to be reimbursed.	00:15:38
	Toward the end of this year from the interest fund so.	00:15:42
	Understood.	00:15:45
	Any discussion?	00:15:47
	Just for the record, how much is that again?	00:15:50
	How much is? Which is which number?	00:15:53
	The the number we're going to find tonight.	00:15:56
	OK.	00:15:58
	So.	00:16:00
	I can quote most of it off the top of my head just because I've dealt with it so much, but I'm going to pull up the joint	00:16:01
	resolution so that I can read that.	00:16:05
	Accurately for you.	00:16:08
	$470,679.22 cents is where I get caught sometimes so.	00:16:10
	I can tell you that as of today, the balance in the interest fund is $259,990.87. So that is the amount that we will.	00:16:17
	Right out of the interest funds, the remaining balance will come from the general with the intent to.	00:16:28
	Reimburse that near the end of the year once it's been recouped.	00:16:33
	In my in. In my understanding that was correct.	00:16:36
	Correct. Any further discussion?	00:16:40
	Want to be clear, this is the last component.	00:16:41
	So we go.	00:16:44
	Live live. This puts the last person the wall to prevent something like this from ever happening in this county again. This goes	00:16:45
	live on the electronic cash book that.	00:16:49
	Everything that happens in my office and everything that happens in the treasurer's office talks to.	00:16:53
	So I I just want to comment and.	00:16:58
	And say I.	00:17:00
	Would like to hear from Lois.	00:17:02
	Before we vote on President.	00:17:04
	I don't think it.	00:17:06
	That we've given her a fair voice.	00:17:07
	In this whole conversation.	00:17:09
	And I won't vote for this tonight.	00:17:11
	Because I want to hear from Lois.	00:17:15
	I would also love to hear.	00:17:17
	Directly from.	00:17:19
	The third party.	00:17:21
	Who reconcile?	00:17:23
	And Williams hasn't been under contract since then, some end of 2021.	00:17:26
	I don't even know if the person completed the audit 2021 we've.	00:17:30
	OK, I'm just saying I can't vote for this without those two things.	00:17:35
	I don't think we've given Lois a fair.	00:17:40
	Voice in this whole conversation.	00:17:43
	And I.	00:17:46
	Would like to hear for.	00:17:48
	The third party vendor that reconciled.	00:17:50
	I spoke to Lois on the phone.	00:17:53
	You too, sheep.	00:17:55
	Get me some good information on the history of everything so.	00:17:58
	I also talked to the State Board of Account Auditors and.	00:18:03
	Try to try to.	00:18:07
	Coax a public statement out of them.	00:18:10
	Which they declined to do.	00:18:13
	Which understandable, but.	00:18:16
	They didn't insure me that.	00:18:20
	This is necessary.	00:18:23
	The last piece is is was just said that.	00:18:27
	To put this behind us and move on to where we never have a situation like this again. So.	00:18:33
	How how do we how do we get the trust of the?	00:18:41
	Constituents backed.	00:18:44
	When we've made these kind of errors and and I'm not saying you.	00:18:46
	I'm just saying.	00:18:50
	That we've done that. I, I, I really think we need some time.	00:18:52
	To like this.	00:18:57
	Let everyone have a voice in US. I really did.	00:18:58
	Well, Miss Conkel, you.	00:19:01
	The Council's been involved in this since 2018.	00:19:02
	I I had no idea that this was still going on.	00:19:07
	I had no idea.	00:19:10
	It's been part of the annual report released from the SBI every single year.	00:19:11
	And shame on us. And shame on the SBOA.	00:19:17
	For letting it go on this long as well.	00:19:20
	So I'm I'm not talking.	00:19:23
	Board, I think we need to hear for some from some other people before I vote.	00:19:26
	Uh, I I.	00:19:32
	I sincerely believe that this is.	00:19:33
	Not money.	00:19:36
	That has been taken.	00:19:37
	Out from the.	00:19:40
	Taxpayers dollars. I sincerely believe that.	00:19:41
	But I have to know that.	00:19:45
	For a fact, and right now I don't know that for a fact.	00:19:47
	So I've had several people reach out to me or not.	00:19:52
	Happy with this at all and they don't like the way that this is being.	00:19:56
	To their impressions swept under the rug. So I agree, let's let's spend some money.	00:20:00
	Get the previous group to come in and give us their opinion on this and find out more information if it's even possible.	00:20:05
	At least.	00:20:12
	Make the effort.	00:20:13
	I don't see any reason to spend any more of the taxpayers money on this issue if someone thinks there's some.	00:20:15
	Ill situations and they need to go to the prosecutor's office and make complaint.	00:20:20
	If not, I think we need to move on.	00:20:25
	I mean, there's investigative agencies if you want to reach out to them if you think there's been some sort of ill will, but.	00:20:28
	Right now, I think we need to move on.	00:20:34
	Uh, missed call I would say.	00:20:38
	That.	00:20:42
	We've been talking about this for at least what, 2 meetings? Maybe 3?	00:20:44
	How can we compel Lois to come to that?	00:20:49
	Lois is she's had the ability to come then.	00:20:52
	No, she has a medical procedure.	00:20:55
	But she did release a statement.	00:20:58
	To me, she knew that this was happening. She was aware.	00:21:01
	That the closure to the fix she started was finally happening, I'm not exactly certain what.	00:21:05
	Misunderstanding may have occurred, but Lois didn't 'cause this problem. She found this problem and started the fix.	00:21:12
	Understand.	00:21:20
	She put a lot of work in to getting this going.	00:21:21
	So I'm not exactly certain.	00:21:24
	Where the misunderstanding that any blame has been laid at her feet when all.	00:21:27
	Nothing but accolades has been laid at her feet. Because I think that it's amazing that she did what she did on her own before.	00:21:31
	Getting a third party to come in. We also need to take this step before the SPOA wraps up their audit, or we're going to.	00:21:38
	Deal with this again. Well, your corrective action plan from your county auditor will reflect that there's a resolution in front	00:21:43
	of both boards that hasn't been passed, and that's the reason it's not fixed yet.	00:21:48
	Quite frankly.	00:21:52
	When does when does that happen?	00:21:54
	By the end of this month, they're done.	00:21:56
	July 1st.	00:21:58
	So I'd like to.	00:22:01
	Push this till the joint meeting at least.	00:22:02
	My I'm I'll make a motion.	00:22:06
	Yeah, Is there any other discussion before we vote? Everybody said their piece.	00:22:10
	All in favor say aye aye.	00:22:17
	Any opposed? Aye.	00:22:19
	Aye, that carries.	00:22:20
	Thank you.	00:22:22
	You're fine.	00:22:31
	All right, uh.	00:22:35
	New Business 3 is Floyd County Council ordinance for additional appropriations for this evening.	00:22:38
	I'll move to approve.	00:22:43
	2nd.	00:22:45
	Motion Second for 3A. Any discussion on additional appropriations?	00:22:46
	All in favor say aye.	00:22:51
	Aye, any opposed?	00:22:52
	That carries 3B is Ordinance 2026-15 for transfers.	00:22:55
	Make a motion to approve 3.	00:23:01
	2nd.	00:23:03
	Motion in a second.	00:23:04
	Any discussion on transfers for this evening?	00:23:05
	All in favor say aye.	00:23:08
	Aye, any opposed?	00:23:10
	That carries 3C is southern Indiana tourism.	00:23:12
	And this just needs to this is the pass pass through Grant. Just something that you all lead to. Gotcha.	00:23:16
	Ordinance.	00:23:25
	Right Ordinance 2026-12 we have.	00:23:28
	Floyd County has been the.	00:23:32
	Past due body for this in the past.	00:23:34
	And this is a.	00:23:36
	Time to re up on that.	00:23:39
	It's all entertain a motion. Motion to approve 3C.	00:23:42
	2nd.	00:23:45
	All right. We have a motion and a second for Ordinance 2026-12. Any discussion?	00:23:46
	I as part of seeing it.	00:23:55
	I didn't say it.	00:23:58
	You just restate your motion so we have it on record, please.	00:24:01
	I approve 3C as published.	00:24:03
	2nd.	00:24:07
	All right, we have a motion and a second for.	00:24:08
	3C is published which is Ordinance 2026-12 and the Interlocal agreement. Now is there any discussion?	00:24:11
	Just to be clear to.	00:24:18
	The public.	00:24:20
	It is.	00:24:21
	The tourism board, they.	00:24:22
	Have.	00:24:24
	Monies that they get from.	00:24:25
	Hotel tax.	00:24:27
	And.	00:24:29
	They don't have the ability to bond project, but they look for projects in the community and from what I understand.	00:24:29
	Is that 3 out of four projects are in Floyd County this year.	00:24:35
	So therefore it was a good mechanism for.	00:24:40
	Floyd County 2.	00:24:43
	Sell the bonds.	00:24:45
	With no obligation to pay those bonds.	00:24:46
	To be paid for by the Tourism board.	00:24:48
	Go ahead, Stan.	00:24:51
	He's gonna add some color.	00:24:52
	Just just one, yeah, just one little bit of flair. The original bond that was outstanding, that was issued in 20.	00:24:53
	21 that has been liquidated and paid off by the tourism.	00:25:00
	Board, they approved that at their.	00:25:04
	May 28th or 29th meeting. I forget the exact date but.	00:25:07
	I've got confirmation from first Harrison today.	00:25:11
	Went up and picked up the bond so I have possession of the previous bond so the the old bond.	00:25:14
	The 21 baht has been liquidated so.	00:25:20
	Thank you. Thank you.	00:25:24
	And, and I was told it was because Floyd County was their favorite county, not because.	00:25:26
	All right, do we?	00:25:33
	We have a motion to 2nd for this. All right. Any further discussion?	00:25:37
	All in favor of 3C as advertised. Say aye.	00:25:41
	Aye, any opposed?	00:25:44
	That cares.	00:25:45
	3D.	00:25:48
	This is going to be a blast from the past here. Resolution 2026 dash old for.	00:25:49
	Landfill transfer of property.	00:25:54
	Hopefully everybody had a chance to.	00:25:56
	Read through that this uh.	00:25:59
	This is an issue that was going on.	00:26:02
	Well before.	00:26:05
	I joined this body.	00:26:06
	This essentially transfers any ownership.	00:26:08
	Of the landfill in any.	00:26:12
	Responsibility going forward of.	00:26:14
	What happens there?	00:26:18
	To Clark County and indemnifies.	00:26:22
	Floyd County, so it takes us out of the picture for the.	00:26:24
	20 year lawsuit or however long it's been?	00:26:29
	Commissioners have already approved this, so I will look for a motion for 3D.	00:26:32
	I'll make a motion to approve 3D.	00:26:37
	2nd we have motion and a second for 3-D22.	00:26:38
	Resolution 2026-04. Any discussion.	00:26:42
	I would just concur again.	00:26:46
	Publicly with Mr. Knabel, the Commissioners.	00:26:48
	I was at the meeting the other night.	00:26:51
	This is probably one of the most significant pieces of things we've done.	00:26:52
	Since I've been around.	00:26:57
	As far as limiting our liability, which?	00:26:58
	Unless you're in the Nell.	00:27:01
	I mean it's.	00:27:02
	Millions that we could be on.	00:27:03
	Liability for.	00:27:05
	Identifies the small land.	00:27:07
	What what? What was the other side of the deal was my.	00:27:09
	Question SO.	00:27:13
	Why all of a sudden did they agree for?	00:27:15
	Us to be able to.	00:27:19
	To have this indemnification.	00:27:23
	There's something that had to have happened.	00:27:25
	You you just don't get a deal like this and don't give up something on the other side of it. I think Steve would kind of be	00:27:27
	answered. Yeah, I wasn't a part of the litigation, but I think everybody here is buying certainty.	00:27:33
	There's a.	00:27:38
	Jury trial date coming up in September.	00:27:39
	And attorneys will talk big until that, until that jury trial date approaches.	00:27:42
	And then things got to get done.	00:27:46
	And so I think as they've approached that jury trial date in.	00:27:48
	You know you're front of a jury. It's always a roll of the dice. You never know what you're going to get.	00:27:51
	They're asking. The other side is asking for 15,000,000, whether they get that or not.	00:27:55
	You know you, you got the.	00:27:59
	12.	00:28:01
	People there that.	00:28:01
	That you don't know who they are, what they're going to think, or how they're going to approach it. So my guess is a lot of the	00:28:02
	uncertainty there is what brought all this together.	00:28:06
	But they.	00:28:09
	They're being sued for 15,000,000 but they're letting us off the hook.	00:28:11
	They're they're right, but then also Clark County is still there.	00:28:16
	Right.	00:28:21
	We we've lost some ownership there, the land of the property, but with that we've also then lost.	00:28:21
	The responsibility for it, right? OK, now we get to.	00:28:27
	To pay the 15,000,000, I couldn't tell from that, but what is, I mean our share of that ownership or what is the value of this	00:28:33
	property?	00:28:37
	Technically, is this information that you couldn't pick up from that? Yeah. And I don't have that information. There's.	00:28:40
	The only value.	00:28:49
	From my field of work.	00:28:51
	Is not necessarily in the acreage it's in.	00:28:53
	The the business.	00:28:56
	Revenue.	00:28:57
	The the physical land is not worth much now.	00:29:00
	It's a land, but it's a landing, right? It's a landing. Well, that was going to be my next question. The business is where the.	00:29:04
	The value is and there's.	00:29:10
	We won't get into the legal.	00:29:13
	The ramifications of how that's ran but it's so it's a mess and we're.	00:29:14
	Did we own a percentage or do you know that?	00:29:19
	Yeah, I don't.	00:29:23
	It's I think it was.	00:29:24
	By usage of it was probably more on the.	00:29:25
	Lines of population. So it wasn't a 5050 type split, but.	00:29:28
	So we always did pay to dump there.	00:29:33
	Anyway, right.	00:29:36
	And still will.	00:29:38
	Everybody and and still will.	00:29:39
	OK.	00:29:42
	And we never received any Rep.	00:29:43
	Yeah, that from what I'd remember.	00:29:45
	Right. Even though we get all right, I don't think you're right.	00:29:48
	Great. Actually, yeah. Because it excuses liability. I, I am, I I understand, I understand. I just wanted to make sure I.	00:29:52
	Understood. Any further discussion?	00:30:00
	All in favor of 3D say aye.	00:30:02
	Aye, any opposed?	00:30:05
	That carries.	00:30:07
	Resolution 2026-06.	00:30:08
	Item 3E is American Tower agreement to purchase communication easement.	00:30:11
	Did everybody have a chance to read through that one?	00:30:17
	I'll make a motion to approve 3E.	00:30:20
	2nd we have a motion and a second for 3E.	00:30:22
	Any further discussion on this? Can we discuss that a little bit? Can you tell me exactly what? It's an easement for some land up	00:30:25
	here.	00:30:29
	Behind Pineview, correct?	00:30:33
	Yeah, that tower back there, it's a, it's a cell tower back there.	00:30:35
	Yeah. So my my question is, I mean, I've been hearing we're going to get rid of Pine view, we're going to get rid of Pine View.	00:30:39
	How does this?	00:30:42
	You know what? What happens if and when that happens with this agreement?	00:30:48
	Actually.	00:30:53
	That's a Commissioner issue, of course.	00:30:55
	But I think the way they're working is this property.	00:30:57
	Building, but they're gonna.	00:31:00
	Replant it and keep.	00:31:02
	That area back there, that field back there.	00:31:04
	Commissioners are going to keep that property. This will be a recorded easement.	00:31:06
	And Eastern to it and.	00:31:10
	Possible.	00:31:12
	I don't want to speak for them, but.	00:31:13
	Keep the land for possible future animal shelter or uh.	00:31:15
	Some some other something?	00:31:20
	But they're going to replant this property.	00:31:21
	And sell the building.	00:31:24
	Per se I almost speak out turn but from what I understand.	00:31:25
	That's what's going so the easement would go back to the cell tower.	00:31:29
	To give access to it.	00:31:33
	OK, deeded access and then important part.	00:31:34
	I was at the Commission meeting, they said that.	00:31:37
	Important part is.	00:31:39
	And we all know technology changes all the time.	00:31:41
	If ever they stop.	00:31:43
	Using that tower.	00:31:45
	That property reversed back to the county, so therefore that's why it's just an easement.	00:31:46
	OK, OK.	00:31:51
	All right, we have a motion. Second, any further discussion?	00:31:54
	All in favor say aye.	00:32:00
	Aye, any opposed?	00:32:01
	That carries.	00:32:03
	All right, now we're on to.	00:32:06
	Budget review assignments.	00:32:08
	Tony called me before the meeting. He would like to stay with the ones that he's on.	00:32:12
	Unless anybody.	00:32:19
	Subjects or whatever but.	00:32:20
	We are.	00:32:23
	This is about the same time we did this last year.	00:32:25
	Everyone's favorite meeting Everyone's favorite meeting so.	00:32:31
	We'll just start with the courts.	00:32:38
	Anybody want that? Anybody want to roll off? Anybody want to roll on?	00:32:42
	To the courts.	00:32:46
	I'll stay home.	00:32:49
	No, I'm fine, OK.	00:32:51
	Dale, I know you still want soil and water.	00:32:53
	Yeah, yeah, I can stay with the clerk. If anybody wants to join me, they can.	00:32:57
	You don't have to answer now, you're always welcome.	00:33:04
	Tony's on veterans services.	00:33:07
	I can do the treasure again.	00:33:11
	Again, anybody's welcome.	00:33:13
	Dale, do you wanna stick with Recorder, right?	00:33:16
	Matt and Sam, do you wanna?	00:33:19
	Stayed with Sheriff.	00:33:22
	Yeah, officially got great rapport with the sheriff. I think we'll stay.	00:33:24
	Tony's got the next two and if anybody wants to join Tone, any of these that are just one person, if anybody wants to jump in.	00:33:28
	I don't think anybody would would mind. We'll leave.	00:33:34
	Tony on those two unless anybody wants to joining.	00:33:37
	I'm good to do the prosecutor again, unless somebody else.	00:33:44
	I'm I'm good.	00:33:46
	OK, uh.	00:33:49
	Uh, operations.	00:33:50
	Jim, you want to stay on that? Yeah, I'm fine, OK.	00:33:52
	We'll do that.	00:33:55
	Bailey Mustang Parks.	00:33:57
	Yeah, I can be on purpose.	00:33:59
	OK, match you.	00:34:01
	Who met there in the office last year? Yeah.	00:34:03
	Yep, Yep. OK.	00:34:05
	Umm, community corrections.	00:34:07
	It was me and Matt. What about?	00:34:12
	Of probation.	00:34:14
	I listen, I'll do it, but that is a relatively complicated budget.	00:34:16
	Budding budgeting and.	00:34:21
	I'm not going to be here after this year. So somebody, I mean.	00:34:24
	Ought to step in.	00:34:28
	And.	00:34:29
	Do do that one OK.	00:34:32
	OK, that that same building so that if our work knock goes out in one day, yeah.	00:34:35
	Yeah, me and Matt for both, for those two probation.	00:34:41
	And community corrections.	00:34:45
	Tony on the next two.	00:34:47
	Dale for Co-op.	00:34:50
	Yeah, that'd be fine. OK.	00:34:52
	Health Department.	00:34:55
	You want to stay on that, Denise, or do you want to?	00:34:57
	I can again that is a really big.	00:34:59
	There's lots of different budgets there.	00:35:05
	And from what I understand some of those.	00:35:08
	Dollars have been cut from the state so.	00:35:11
	That's going to be 1 they're going to ask for funding from.	00:35:14
	And again it's.	00:35:17
	Funded by part of the.	00:35:19
	Help me out here, It's Levy driven.	00:35:23
	And HFI got cut by the state.	00:35:28
	2026 is a budget forward. It used to be 100 million distributed between 92 counties and it got cut to 40 million distributed	00:35:31
	between 92 counties.	00:35:35
	So the health department took a massive hit.	00:35:40
	I know where she's going with this. It is a very complicated budget. It is. She has been on it for years. So if there is someone	00:35:42
	else who's willing to get exposed, I mean.	00:35:47
	It's gonna take some time. It's gonna take some time to get deep into it and figure it out.	00:35:52
	Umm, if probably messages, Yeah, it might. It might be best.	00:35:59
	Appreciate the other day. You're a budget. Guess what you said. I heard if you don't want to do it, I can. I can do it. She was	00:36:06
	pretty happy with the idea.	00:36:09
	For this one, I'm telling you it needs to be somebody that's.	00:36:17
	Can put a spreadsheet together and do some excel work.	00:36:20
	It's a lot if you do that.	00:36:24
	That's fine, OK.	00:36:29
	Leave 3 on that one.	00:36:32
	Denise, Dale and Matt.	00:36:34
	And then public defender Denise, are you willing to stick on and sure.	00:36:36
	Sure, I'm just saying it there. There needs to be a transition.	00:36:40
	But Denise, I will, uh, just to comment.	00:36:45
	Remember when they passed that?	00:36:48
	Doctor Harris stood dead.	00:36:50
	Holding about two years ago and he said we'd be a fool enough to take this money and we walked out of the room, I said.	00:36:52
	We're gonna be on the hook for this in a couple. You remember that one or two years, that's exactly what happened.	00:36:57
	Because they cut all that funding.	00:37:03
	All right, public defender, but we're still required by law to.	00:37:06
	To do it, to do all statutory that we do it.	00:37:10
	So it's going to be, it's going to be interesting.	00:37:13
	Since we're kicking Matt off public defenders, anybody else want to join me on that?	00:37:18
	If not I'll I'll handle it.	00:37:22
	I'm still willing to be your sidekick. OK, Well, then we'll we'll work that out. Leave.	00:37:27
	Leave Matt on there.	00:37:31
	That's an interesting one too.	00:37:32
	Yeah, because if there's a split there and there's some laws changing there too.	00:37:34
	That are going to drive the way we have to pay public defenders so.	00:37:39
	Interesting one.	00:37:44
	Do you want to do?	00:37:46
	New shelter again or?	00:37:47
	I can't. There's nothing there because we do not, we do not fund.	00:37:50
	Jeff Brown's purview, Yeah.	00:37:56
	Umm, but how? How?	00:37:58
	I'll do it, OK.	00:38:00
	I don't even know if it's necessary.	00:38:02
	Tony said he was fine doing the corner again.	00:38:05
	You know I can handle that one.	00:38:08
	I'll be the lead on the County Council budget, but if you have.	00:38:12
	Something that you want to.	00:38:16
	Talk about and get with me.	00:38:17
	There's not a whole lot there, but.	00:38:19
	I can do the auditor anybody's welcome to join.	00:38:22
	Uh, they want.	00:38:25
	And Dale, do you want to do assessor?	00:38:29
	I can do it OK.	00:38:31
	So when, when will we be hearing from?	00:38:34
	Page. Yes, I'm sorry, Page D.	00:38:40

	About the July meeting, OK, is there, is that the end of?	00:38:51
	That is almost painless. Yeah, OK, most.	00:38:55

	At some point, OK.	00:39:02
	So we'll be hearing from Paige at the July 14th meeting.	00:39:04
	Kind of truing up some numbers and.	00:39:10
	The must meetings start.	00:39:13
	We'll publish those. I'll send that out tomorrow as well. A list of the most meetings.	00:39:18
	The dates times.	00:39:23
	Probably a lot of information come out tomorrow so.	00:39:25
	Do we know if we.	00:39:28
	Got other, got all of them squared away. It took a little while to be able to find a time when the room was available.	00:39:29
	Have we heard back from people RSVP? They're RSVP directly to page. OK.	00:39:36
	So hopefully we have a good turn out for that.	00:39:42
	That's really nice. Good.	00:39:44
	OK, so I'm sorry.	00:39:46
	Drifting there for a minute, what's going to happen at the July meeting?	00:39:49
	Page will give an update, but we're having our first.	00:39:52
	We're having a must kick off meeting. Before that it's July 9th.	00:39:55
	I believe so.	00:39:59
	OK, it's the week before. I'm going to send out the whole list of dates tomorrow, yeah.	00:40:01
	OK, you can analyze all of them if any of you want to attend.	00:40:05
	The the task force meeting, all the taxing units are going to get together and sit down to talk about.	00:40:09
	Yes, we want that was requested by the state is Denise were you at that meeting? Yes, I was at that meeting. So who is who's on	00:40:15
	the task force?	00:40:20
	I I'm the head of it.	00:40:25
	Just because it's all all runs through council.	00:40:27
	But anybody is welcome to attend. Township trustees and pages are going to run the meeting.	00:40:29
	Pages setting it all up again.	00:40:34
	OK, Stan, can you make sure you're there?	00:40:36
	He's part of the list.	00:40:39
	All right, anybody from the public.	00:40:44
	All good.	00:40:49
	Yeah, go ahead. I think that you all.	00:40:50
	I'll be fast.	00:40:53
	State your name and address please.	00:40:55
	Is this public?	00:40:57
	It's more.	00:40:58
	Elected official commentary.	00:41:00
	Settlement got distributed Friday.	00:41:04
	That's June 5th. That's the earliest our county has ever been able to do that.	00:41:06
	I think it's a really awesome thing, actually.	00:41:11
	That we were able to file.	00:41:14
	Settlement by May 29th and have it approved the following Monday and distribute it by that Friday, so.	00:41:16
	It's a big distribution and it was a very large distribution, almost $68 million going out to the taxing districts, so.	00:41:24
	It was. It was a very large distribution.	00:41:32
	That all of that stuff is on is public record. It's available on Gateway. People can go look it up and see who got what.	00:41:34
	But so settlement is done, you've got your updated balances.	00:41:41
	And.	00:41:45
	That's it. Good job.	00:41:46
	Thank you. Thank you.	00:41:48
	Anybody from council?	00:41:49
	Have anything to add?	00:41:51

	All right, we are on to acceptance of agenda for this evening.	00:01:36
	So moved second.	00:01:40
	We have a motion, a second. Is there any discussion on tonight's agenda?	00:01:42
	All in favor say aye.	00:01:47
	Aye, any opposed?	00:01:49
	That carries approval of minutes for.	00:01:50
	Our May 12th meeting.	00:01:53
	I have a motion in a second.	00:01:58
	Any discussion on those?	00:02:00
	All in favor say aye.	00:02:03
	Aye, any opposed?	00:02:04
	I've stained since I was.	00:02:06
	Was not present.	00:02:07
	Anyone from the public?	00:02:10
	Wish to speak?	00:02:11
	All right. We will open up public hearing for tonight's additional appropriations. Anyone from the public want to speak on those?	00:02:15
	Seeing none, we will adjourn the public hearing and move on to new business #1.	00:02:24
	Stanley.	00:02:29
	Hey, good evening and happy June the 9th I.	00:02:37
	Yes, right.	00:02:39
	Issue a Life Jackets thanks to our first responders and our great role department teams, you know they're keeping Floyd County as	00:02:41
	safe as we can.	00:02:45
	This first item I've got is the.	00:02:50
	Exactly a stormwater request.	00:02:54
	Umm, we're working under a contract with Heritage Engineering for stormwater and erosion control projects.	00:02:56
	The projects are evolving so I'm just asking.	00:03:05
	To have an additional appropriation set in professional services of the $250,000.	00:03:08
	The 1197 fund. I've done the forecast.	00:03:15
	We have about $440,000 in appropriating power.	00:03:19
	Based on the forecast in that fund.	00:03:24
	Currently, and again, appropriating power is.	00:03:26
	The generator revenue less the appropriations that are currently set. So it gives us a little bit of latitude, so.	00:03:29
	I'm just asking so that we can cover these professional service projects for erosion control for the violence of this year.	00:03:37
	Move to approve 1A.	00:03:45
	2nd.	00:03:47
	Motion and 2nd, any other questions for Stan? So this is just engineering. This is not actual construction work yet. That's	00:03:48
	correct, Sir. Yep.	00:03:51
	Are there any specific?	00:03:55
	Areas.	00:03:56
	I can I can get you a list of those.	00:04:01
	I didn't get them out to you in an e-mail if that's OK.	00:04:03
	It's, it's pretty much county wide though, isn't it? It, it, it pretty much is. It's it as we talked about it, it's, it's evolving	00:04:06
	projects.	00:04:09
	Role Department works in coordination with the Stormwater Board and the Stormwater Team.	00:04:14
	So they're just identifying those locations where there seems to be issues and they go out and they'll do the engineering study to	00:04:19
	determine how we can.	00:04:23
	Correct the issues that are involving.	00:04:27
	But these are specific projects, not a retainer.	00:04:30
	No, that's correct. They are specific projects, yes.	00:04:33
	Anything else for Stan?	00:04:38
	All in favor of 1A say aye aye.	00:04:40
	Any opposed?	00:04:43
	That carries. Thank you very much.	00:04:44
	B. This is there's two requests for appropriate additional appropriations. The first one is the I'd like to.	00:04:48
	Reversal Max if you don't mind the 3317 Grandline Rd.	00:04:55
	This is the health department ban.	00:04:58
	The current cash balance as stated on here.	00:05:01
	But the band itself.	00:05:05
	57,000 and some.	00:05:07
	Let's see where to go.	00:05:10
	57,000 is a change.	00:05:13
	It's right here.	00:05:15
	And that's there's two payments of that. So it comes to the 115902.	00:05:21
	57 Thousand 95095.	00:05:28
	So we make 2 payments to the band and the the band funds actually have.	00:05:30
	In the adoption allowed us to pay the ban monies from this.	00:05:35
	Particular fund so.	00:05:40
	The 1:15 Nano 2 is the band payment kind of as we've talked about previously in the.	00:05:41
	The allocation of these funds.	00:05:47
	The balance of the remaining cash in that particular fund is 1,000,002 Sixty 408595 and.	00:05:49
	I'd like to go ahead and request the appropriation to be set in the construction line.	00:05:57
	I'll exhaust the ban money if this is agreeable with the Council before we start.	00:06:02
	Using the funds that you've allocated through the GO bond.	00:06:07
	So that's that's our intentions anyway.	00:06:11
	And that's what this request is for.	00:06:15
	Yes, that's correct. Yeah. Yeah, I just talked.	00:06:17
	Just talked about the band first. OK, so yes, absolutely.	00:06:22
	Move to approve 1B.	00:06:29
	2nd.	00:06:32
	We have a motion a second for 1B.	00:06:33
	Any discussion or questions for Stan?	00:06:36
	So the 1:15 is the interest.	00:06:39
	That's the interest payments for the balance of just this year.	00:06:41
	That's another issue that will have to have some discussions.	00:06:45
	Potentially during budget time, where are we going to pay the band interest from in?	00:06:48
	Succeeding years 27 through 30.	00:06:52
	And then also utilities and.	00:06:55
	Basically just the utilities I think are the only, I think we've exhausted the tire Pinkster contract.	00:06:59
	So it'd be just utilities that would leverage.	00:07:04
	Some is going to need some money to pay for the balance of this year so.	00:07:07
	Stan, what about earlier this year we opened up some funds just to cover the securing of the building and for utilities. Have we	00:07:14
	spent through that?	00:07:18
	Yeah, the.	00:07:23
	That the the request actually.	00:07:25
	Accounts for those appropriations, so those are still remaining in the open appropriations, I think.	00:07:28
	See, I think I have a but.	00:07:33
	Budget report.	00:07:35
	I can tell you how much is remaining in those lines.	00:07:38
	So in the utility line.	00:07:41
	There's about $90,000 remaining in that particular line, so.	00:07:43
	Probably be pretty good for the.	00:07:47
	Excuse me for the balance of this year.	00:07:49
	And if there any remaining funds in that utility line, obviously will move them over into the construction line as a year.	00:07:51
	The end of the year approaches.	00:07:58
	To cover any expenses again before we tap into the Gold Bond mining.	00:07:59
	Any further questions on 1D?	00:08:07
	All in favor say aye.	00:08:10
	Aye, any opposed?	00:08:11
	That carries.	00:08:14
	And let's see.	00:08:16
	See this.	00:08:18
	C is the Community Crossings paving Grant.	00:08:23
	Money, that was.	00:08:27
	Paid to Floyd County, so we're just looking to house that in the the grant.	00:08:30
	In the State Grant Fund 9130, the Capital Projects fund for the Commissioners.	00:08:35
	So this is it's a 5050 match. So this is the 50% that the state has already awarded the Floyd County for paving.	00:08:39
	I just wanted to isolate that in a line to make sure that it's strictly used for the paving. It doesn't get convoluted in any	00:08:47
	other fund or mixed or calling anywhere else this is strictly paving.	00:08:52
	All the balance of the the paving portion that's our match is coming out of our restricted lines for.	00:08:58
	For the balance of the paving that the county actually.	00:09:05
	So.	00:09:07
	Move to approve 1C.	00:09:11
	I'll second.	00:09:15
	With a motion in a second for one, see any questions for staying.	00:09:16
	Comment is when's paving gonna start.	00:09:20
	I thought you've been identified. They're already.	00:09:24
	Yeah, the well the the the contract to libs has already been granted, so.	00:09:26
	That identified all of the projects.	00:09:30
	I would assume it's wrapping up actually 20.	00:09:33
	25 paving projects.	00:09:36
	Here, I think in the next two weeks.	00:09:39
	So 26 is paving projects have been awarded to Libs. Will probably begin shortly thereafter.	00:09:41
	I can get you a list of that contract ward because I think it identified locations as well if you like so.	00:09:49
	I said we're gonna do.	00:09:54
	1.5 million worth of pavement, about 10 miles.	00:09:56
	Till we get the wheel tax money, which, well, I'm just saying.	00:10:01
	We know, we're aware what the cost repay the road. Yep.	00:10:04
	1.5 million is about.	00:10:07
	12 miles.	00:10:09
	That's not much. We've got 700 miles of roads.	00:10:10
	Unless you want to free up some extra money somewhere. Would be glad to take it for paving Sir.	00:10:13
	I didn't hear a second on that. So we'll have Fargo. No, there's no, no comments.	00:10:18
	I kind of got it there. That's OK, Sir.	00:10:29
	All right, so we have.	00:10:31
	We do have a motion in a second for one seat. Any further discussion?	00:10:33
	All in favor say aye.	00:10:37
	Aye, any opposed?	00:10:39
	That carries. Indeed, this is.	00:10:40
	A cross.	00:10:44
	Category transfer.	00:10:46
	We've set some money in the.	00:10:47
	The 11:35 Fund the bridge.	00:10:50
	Hume Bridge Fund.	00:10:53
	For Bridge 27 and for Bridge 51.	00:10:54
	But the bridge inspection through that was under contract with Structure Point.	00:10:58
	The invoices came in a little quicker than had than I had anticipated, so we didn't want to delay in paying Structure Point, we	00:11:04
	wanted to get this paid.	00:11:08
	Because we can now file for an 8020 match on those invoices. Once we make the payment, we can.	00:11:13
	Request the 80% back.	00:11:19
	Which is state grant funded as well, so.	00:11:21
	I'm just asking that.	00:11:25
	To move funds that we originally delegated to Bridge 51 and 27 into the professional services so we can pay structure point.	00:11:27
	Get our reimbursement and then we'll carry the reimbursement back to these two particular lines to continue funding the projects	00:11:34
	for.	00:11:37
	21 and 57.	00:11:41
	Move to approve 1D.	00:11:44
	2nd.	00:11:46
	We have a motion a second for 1D.	00:11:47
	Any further discussion?	00:11:49
	So, Stan, these aren't like unexpected costs. These are.	00:11:50
	They just hit a little quicker than what we had, than what I had anticipated on the budgeting side of things, so.	00:11:54
	Yes, Sir.	00:11:59
	Any further discussion?	00:12:02
	All in favor of 1D say aye.	00:12:04
	Aye, any opposed?	00:12:07
	Thank you very much. I appreciate your time.	00:12:09
	Diana Topping.	00:12:12
	Good evening.	00:12:18
	But 2A is a request for appropriation in my ineligible non regarding fund.	00:12:20
	And the Commissioners were gracious enough to.	00:12:26
	Approve a.	00:12:29
	Contractual intern for our office at the end of last month to come in and help.	00:12:30
	Organize everything in the cage for when it gets shipped.	00:12:36
	To SBS.	00:12:40
	For for scanning and indexing and digitizing.	00:12:41
	We had to create a.	00:12:47
	There's a lot of work that had to go into that and.	00:12:50
	Quite frankly, my staff of seven doesn't have the time to go and spend.	00:12:52
	Weeks.	00:12:56
	Full time down in the cage making sure that everything is is inventory to accurately and sorted accurately to be shipped off.	00:12:57
	For indexing.	00:13:04
	So we.	00:13:05
	Have a contract in place for a part-time intern?	00:13:08
	30 to 35 hours a week because they're temporary through the summer.	00:13:12
	I think they'll be done mid-july is when they go back to school. We got them at 1615 an hour which is the standard part time rate	00:13:16
	in the county.	00:13:20
	At the the young man in question.	00:13:24
	Just finished his master's degree at Purdue and is returning this fall for his PhD in computer engineering. So we got a very	00:13:27
	overqualified young man for a very underpaid position to come in and sort through.	00:13:32
	The.	00:13:38
	Ridiculous amount of paperwork that is housed in my storage cage.	00:13:39
	And index and inventory for us.	00:13:44
	Move to approve 2A.	00:13:49
	2nd.	00:13:51
	Motion is second to a. Any further discussion.	00:13:52
	All in favor say aye.	00:13:57
	Any opposed?	00:13:58
	That carries.	00:14:01
	SO2B is the joint resolution before this board individually again for the historical outage to do take care of both the legacy	00:14:04
	outage which is the cash book to the bank and the historical outage which is the cash book to the funds.	00:14:11
	You've you've had plenty of time I believe to review the joint resolution. I'd be happy to go over.	00:14:19
	The corrections with you again and answer any additional questions that may have been generated and not emailed to me over the	00:14:25
	last couple weeks.	00:14:29
	But that's before this body again.	00:14:34
	Danny or Steve, just a question, are we looking just for approval on the resolution? Are we looking for allocation of funds	00:14:37
	resolution?	00:14:41
	Approval the resolution today.	00:14:46
	Approval of the resolution and because the allocation of funds has previously been advertised, the board can take that up if they	00:14:48
	so choose. This evening and and.	00:14:52
	Decide where that's coming out of.	00:14:56
	I'll make a motion to approve the Joint resolution 2026-05.	00:15:00
	With the primary source of funding coming from the investment fund account until that's depleted in the balance coming from the	00:15:05
	general fund.	00:15:09
	Flag it.	00:15:13
	All right, I'm just going to.	00:15:15
	I'm going to restate it.	00:15:17
	Coming from the interest fund saying yes second.	00:15:19
	Yeah. Thank you. So we have a motion and a second for 2B.	00:15:21
	Joint Resolution 2026-05.	00:15:26
	With the majority of the.	00:15:29
	Move coming from the interest fund.	00:15:33
	And.	00:15:35
	The rest coming from the general.	00:15:36
	With the general to be reimbursed.	00:15:38
	Toward the end of this year from the interest fund so.	00:15:42
	Understood.	00:15:45
	Any discussion?	00:15:47
	Just for the record, how much is that again?	00:15:50
	How much is? Which is which number?	00:15:53
	The the number we're going to find tonight.	00:15:56
	OK.	00:15:58
	So.	00:16:00
	I can quote most of it off the top of my head just because I've dealt with it so much, but I'm going to pull up the joint	00:16:01
	resolution so that I can read that.	00:16:05
	Accurately for you.	00:16:08
	$470,679.22 cents is where I get caught sometimes so.	00:16:10
	I can tell you that as of today, the balance in the interest fund is $259,990.87. So that is the amount that we will.	00:16:17
	Right out of the interest funds, the remaining balance will come from the general with the intent to.	00:16:28
	Reimburse that near the end of the year once it's been recouped.	00:16:33
	In my in. In my understanding that was correct.	00:16:36
	Correct. Any further discussion?	00:16:40
	Want to be clear, this is the last component.	00:16:41
	So we go.	00:16:44
	Live live. This puts the last person the wall to prevent something like this from ever happening in this county again. This goes	00:16:45
	live on the electronic cash book that.	00:16:49
	Everything that happens in my office and everything that happens in the treasurer's office talks to.	00:16:53
	So I I just want to comment and.	00:16:58
	And say I.	00:17:00
	Would like to hear from Lois.	00:17:02
	Before we vote on President.	00:17:04
	I don't think it.	00:17:06
	That we've given her a fair voice.	00:17:07
	In this whole conversation.	00:17:09
	And I won't vote for this tonight.	00:17:11
	Because I want to hear from Lois.	00:17:15
	I would also love to hear.	00:17:17
	Directly from.	00:17:19
	The third party.	00:17:21
	Who reconcile?	00:17:23
	And Williams hasn't been under contract since then, some end of 2021.	00:17:26
	I don't even know if the person completed the audit 2021 we've.	00:17:30
	OK, I'm just saying I can't vote for this without those two things.	00:17:35
	I don't think we've given Lois a fair.	00:17:40
	Voice in this whole conversation.	00:17:43
	And I.	00:17:46
	Would like to hear for.	00:17:48
	The third party vendor that reconciled.	00:17:50
	I spoke to Lois on the phone.	00:17:53
	You too, sheep.	00:17:55
	Get me some good information on the history of everything so.	00:17:58
	I also talked to the State Board of Account Auditors and.	00:18:03
	Try to try to.	00:18:07
	Coax a public statement out of them.	00:18:10
	Which they declined to do.	00:18:13
	Which understandable, but.	00:18:16
	They didn't insure me that.	00:18:20
	This is necessary.	00:18:23
	The last piece is is was just said that.	00:18:27
	To put this behind us and move on to where we never have a situation like this again. So.	00:18:33
	How how do we how do we get the trust of the?	00:18:41
	Constituents backed.	00:18:44
	When we've made these kind of errors and and I'm not saying you.	00:18:46
	I'm just saying.	00:18:50
	That we've done that. I, I, I really think we need some time.	00:18:52
	To like this.	00:18:57
	Let everyone have a voice in US. I really did.	00:18:58
	Well, Miss Conkel, you.	00:19:01
	The Council's been involved in this since 2018.	00:19:02
	I I had no idea that this was still going on.	00:19:07
	I had no idea.	00:19:10
	It's been part of the annual report released from the SBI every single year.	00:19:11
	And shame on us. And shame on the SBOA.	00:19:17
	For letting it go on this long as well.	00:19:20
	So I'm I'm not talking.	00:19:23
	Board, I think we need to hear for some from some other people before I vote.	00:19:26
	Uh, I I.	00:19:32
	I sincerely believe that this is.	00:19:33
	Not money.	00:19:36
	That has been taken.	00:19:37
	Out from the.	00:19:40
	Taxpayers dollars. I sincerely believe that.	00:19:41
	But I have to know that.	00:19:45
	For a fact, and right now I don't know that for a fact.	00:19:47
	So I've had several people reach out to me or not.	00:19:52
	Happy with this at all and they don't like the way that this is being.	00:19:56
	To their impressions swept under the rug. So I agree, let's let's spend some money.	00:20:00
	Get the previous group to come in and give us their opinion on this and find out more information if it's even possible.	00:20:05
	At least.	00:20:12
	Make the effort.	00:20:13
	I don't see any reason to spend any more of the taxpayers money on this issue if someone thinks there's some.	00:20:15
	Ill situations and they need to go to the prosecutor's office and make complaint.	00:20:20
	If not, I think we need to move on.	00:20:25
	I mean, there's investigative agencies if you want to reach out to them if you think there's been some sort of ill will, but.	00:20:28
	Right now, I think we need to move on.	00:20:34
	Uh, missed call I would say.	00:20:38
	That.	00:20:42
	We've been talking about this for at least what, 2 meetings? Maybe 3?	00:20:44
	How can we compel Lois to come to that?	00:20:49
	Lois is she's had the ability to come then.	00:20:52
	No, she has a medical procedure.	00:20:55
	But she did release a statement.	00:20:58
	To me, she knew that this was happening. She was aware.	00:21:01
	That the closure to the fix she started was finally happening, I'm not exactly certain what.	00:21:05
	Misunderstanding may have occurred, but Lois didn't 'cause this problem. She found this problem and started the fix.	00:21:12
	Understand.	00:21:20
	She put a lot of work in to getting this going.	00:21:21
	So I'm not exactly certain.	00:21:24
	Where the misunderstanding that any blame has been laid at her feet when all.	00:21:27
	Nothing but accolades has been laid at her feet. Because I think that it's amazing that she did what she did on her own before.	00:21:31
	Getting a third party to come in. We also need to take this step before the SPOA wraps up their audit, or we're going to.	00:21:38
	Deal with this again. Well, your corrective action plan from your county auditor will reflect that there's a resolution in front	00:21:43
	of both boards that hasn't been passed, and that's the reason it's not fixed yet.	00:21:48
	Quite frankly.	00:21:52
	When does when does that happen?	00:21:54
	By the end of this month, they're done.	00:21:56
	July 1st.	00:21:58
	So I'd like to.	00:22:01
	Push this till the joint meeting at least.	00:22:02
	My I'm I'll make a motion.	00:22:06
	Yeah, Is there any other discussion before we vote? Everybody said their piece.	00:22:10
	All in favor say aye aye.	00:22:17
	Any opposed? Aye.	00:22:19
	Aye, that carries.	00:22:20
	Thank you.	00:22:22
	You're fine.	00:22:31
	All right, uh.	00:22:35
	New Business 3 is Floyd County Council ordinance for additional appropriations for this evening.	00:22:38
	I'll move to approve.	00:22:43
	2nd.	00:22:45
	Motion Second for 3A. Any discussion on additional appropriations?	00:22:46
	All in favor say aye.	00:22:51
	Aye, any opposed?	00:22:52
	That carries 3B is Ordinance 2026-15 for transfers.	00:22:55
	Make a motion to approve 3.	00:23:01
	2nd.	00:23:03
	Motion in a second.	00:23:04
	Any discussion on transfers for this evening?	00:23:05
	All in favor say aye.	00:23:08
	Aye, any opposed?	00:23:10
	That carries 3C is southern Indiana tourism.	00:23:12
	And this just needs to this is the pass pass through Grant. Just something that you all lead to. Gotcha.	00:23:16
	Ordinance.	00:23:25
	Right Ordinance 2026-12 we have.	00:23:28
	Floyd County has been the.	00:23:32
	Past due body for this in the past.	00:23:34
	And this is a.	00:23:36
	Time to re up on that.	00:23:39
	It's all entertain a motion. Motion to approve 3C.	00:23:42
	2nd.	00:23:45
	All right. We have a motion and a second for Ordinance 2026-12. Any discussion?	00:23:46
	I as part of seeing it.	00:23:55
	I didn't say it.	00:23:58
	You just restate your motion so we have it on record, please.	00:24:01
	I approve 3C as published.	00:24:03
	2nd.	00:24:07
	All right, we have a motion and a second for.	00:24:08
	3C is published which is Ordinance 2026-12 and the Interlocal agreement. Now is there any discussion?	00:24:11
	Just to be clear to.	00:24:18
	The public.	00:24:20
	It is.	00:24:21
	The tourism board, they.	00:24:22
	Have.	00:24:24
	Monies that they get from.	00:24:25
	Hotel tax.	00:24:27
	And.	00:24:29
	They don't have the ability to bond project, but they look for projects in the community and from what I understand.	00:24:29
	Is that 3 out of four projects are in Floyd County this year.	00:24:35
	So therefore it was a good mechanism for.	00:24:40
	Floyd County 2.	00:24:43
	Sell the bonds.	00:24:45
	With no obligation to pay those bonds.	00:24:46
	To be paid for by the Tourism board.	00:24:48
	Go ahead, Stan.	00:24:51
	He's gonna add some color.	00:24:52
	Just just one, yeah, just one little bit of flair. The original bond that was outstanding, that was issued in 20.	00:24:53
	21 that has been liquidated and paid off by the tourism.	00:25:00
	Board, they approved that at their.	00:25:04
	May 28th or 29th meeting. I forget the exact date but.	00:25:07
	I've got confirmation from first Harrison today.	00:25:11
	Went up and picked up the bond so I have possession of the previous bond so the the old bond.	00:25:14
	The 21 baht has been liquidated so.	00:25:20
	Thank you. Thank you.	00:25:24
	And, and I was told it was because Floyd County was their favorite county, not because.	00:25:26
	All right, do we?	00:25:33
	We have a motion to 2nd for this. All right. Any further discussion?	00:25:37
	All in favor of 3C as advertised. Say aye.	00:25:41
	Aye, any opposed?	00:25:44
	That cares.	00:25:45
	3D.	00:25:48
	This is going to be a blast from the past here. Resolution 2026 dash old for.	00:25:49
	Landfill transfer of property.	00:25:54
	Hopefully everybody had a chance to.	00:25:56
	Read through that this uh.	00:25:59
	This is an issue that was going on.	00:26:02
	Well before.	00:26:05
	I joined this body.	00:26:06
	This essentially transfers any ownership.	00:26:08
	Of the landfill in any.	00:26:12
	Responsibility going forward of.	00:26:14
	What happens there?	00:26:18
	To Clark County and indemnifies.	00:26:22
	Floyd County, so it takes us out of the picture for the.	00:26:24
	20 year lawsuit or however long it's been?	00:26:29
	Commissioners have already approved this, so I will look for a motion for 3D.	00:26:32
	I'll make a motion to approve 3D.	00:26:37
	2nd we have motion and a second for 3-D22.	00:26:38
	Resolution 2026-04. Any discussion.	00:26:42
	I would just concur again.	00:26:46
	Publicly with Mr. Knabel, the Commissioners.	00:26:48
	I was at the meeting the other night.	00:26:51
	This is probably one of the most significant pieces of things we've done.	00:26:52
	Since I've been around.	00:26:57
	As far as limiting our liability, which?	00:26:58
	Unless you're in the Nell.	00:27:01
	I mean it's.	00:27:02
	Millions that we could be on.	00:27:03
	Liability for.	00:27:05
	Identifies the small land.	00:27:07
	What what? What was the other side of the deal was my.	00:27:09
	Question SO.	00:27:13
	Why all of a sudden did they agree for?	00:27:15
	Us to be able to.	00:27:19
	To have this indemnification.	00:27:23
	There's something that had to have happened.	00:27:25
	You you just don't get a deal like this and don't give up something on the other side of it. I think Steve would kind of be	00:27:27
	answered. Yeah, I wasn't a part of the litigation, but I think everybody here is buying certainty.	00:27:33
	There's a.	00:27:38
	Jury trial date coming up in September.	00:27:39
	And attorneys will talk big until that, until that jury trial date approaches.	00:27:42
	And then things got to get done.	00:27:46
	And so I think as they've approached that jury trial date in.	00:27:48
	You know you're front of a jury. It's always a roll of the dice. You never know what you're going to get.	00:27:51
	They're asking. The other side is asking for 15,000,000, whether they get that or not.	00:27:55
	You know you, you got the.	00:27:59
	12.	00:28:01
	People there that.	00:28:01
	That you don't know who they are, what they're going to think, or how they're going to approach it. So my guess is a lot of the	00:28:02
	uncertainty there is what brought all this together.	00:28:06
	But they.	00:28:09
	They're being sued for 15,000,000 but they're letting us off the hook.	00:28:11
	They're they're right, but then also Clark County is still there.	00:28:16
	Right.	00:28:21
	We we've lost some ownership there, the land of the property, but with that we've also then lost.	00:28:21
	The responsibility for it, right? OK, now we get to.	00:28:27
	To pay the 15,000,000, I couldn't tell from that, but what is, I mean our share of that ownership or what is the value of this	00:28:33
	property?	00:28:37
	Technically, is this information that you couldn't pick up from that? Yeah. And I don't have that information. There's.	00:28:40
	The only value.	00:28:49
	From my field of work.	00:28:51
	Is not necessarily in the acreage it's in.	00:28:53
	The the business.	00:28:56
	Revenue.	00:28:57
	The the physical land is not worth much now.	00:29:00
	It's a land, but it's a landing, right? It's a landing. Well, that was going to be my next question. The business is where the.	00:29:04
	The value is and there's.	00:29:10
	We won't get into the legal.	00:29:13
	The ramifications of how that's ran but it's so it's a mess and we're.	00:29:14
	Did we own a percentage or do you know that?	00:29:19
	Yeah, I don't.	00:29:23
	It's I think it was.	00:29:24
	By usage of it was probably more on the.	00:29:25
	Lines of population. So it wasn't a 5050 type split, but.	00:29:28
	So we always did pay to dump there.	00:29:33
	Anyway, right.	00:29:36
	And still will.	00:29:38
	Everybody and and still will.	00:29:39
	OK.	00:29:42
	And we never received any Rep.	00:29:43
	Yeah, that from what I'd remember.	00:29:45
	Right. Even though we get all right, I don't think you're right.	00:29:48
	Great. Actually, yeah. Because it excuses liability. I, I am, I I understand, I understand. I just wanted to make sure I.	00:29:52
	Understood. Any further discussion?	00:30:00
	All in favor of 3D say aye.	00:30:02
	Aye, any opposed?	00:30:05
	That carries.	00:30:07
	Resolution 2026-06.	00:30:08
	Item 3E is American Tower agreement to purchase communication easement.	00:30:11
	Did everybody have a chance to read through that one?	00:30:17
	I'll make a motion to approve 3E.	00:30:20
	2nd we have a motion and a second for 3E.	00:30:22
	Any further discussion on this? Can we discuss that a little bit? Can you tell me exactly what? It's an easement for some land up	00:30:25
	here.	00:30:29
	Behind Pineview, correct?	00:30:33
	Yeah, that tower back there, it's a, it's a cell tower back there.	00:30:35
	Yeah. So my my question is, I mean, I've been hearing we're going to get rid of Pine view, we're going to get rid of Pine View.	00:30:39
	How does this?	00:30:42
	You know what? What happens if and when that happens with this agreement?	00:30:48
	Actually.	00:30:53
	That's a Commissioner issue, of course.	00:30:55
	But I think the way they're working is this property.	00:30:57
	Building, but they're gonna.	00:31:00
	Replant it and keep.	00:31:02
	That area back there, that field back there.	00:31:04
	Commissioners are going to keep that property. This will be a recorded easement.	00:31:06
	And Eastern to it and.	00:31:10
	Possible.	00:31:12
	I don't want to speak for them, but.	00:31:13
	Keep the land for possible future animal shelter or uh.	00:31:15
	Some some other something?	00:31:20
	But they're going to replant this property.	00:31:21
	And sell the building.	00:31:24
	Per se I almost speak out turn but from what I understand.	00:31:25
	That's what's going so the easement would go back to the cell tower.	00:31:29
	To give access to it.	00:31:33
	OK, deeded access and then important part.	00:31:34
	I was at the Commission meeting, they said that.	00:31:37
	Important part is.	00:31:39
	And we all know technology changes all the time.	00:31:41
	If ever they stop.	00:31:43
	Using that tower.	00:31:45
	That property reversed back to the county, so therefore that's why it's just an easement.	00:31:46
	OK, OK.	00:31:51
	All right, we have a motion. Second, any further discussion?	00:31:54
	All in favor say aye.	00:32:00
	Aye, any opposed?	00:32:01
	That carries.	00:32:03
	All right, now we're on to.	00:32:06
	Budget review assignments.	00:32:08
	Tony called me before the meeting. He would like to stay with the ones that he's on.	00:32:12
	Unless anybody.	00:32:19
	Subjects or whatever but.	00:32:20
	We are.	00:32:23
	This is about the same time we did this last year.	00:32:25
	Everyone's favorite meeting Everyone's favorite meeting so.	00:32:31
	We'll just start with the courts.	00:32:38
	Anybody want that? Anybody want to roll off? Anybody want to roll on?	00:32:42
	To the courts.	00:32:46
	I'll stay home.	00:32:49
	No, I'm fine, OK.	00:32:51
	Dale, I know you still want soil and water.	00:32:53
	Yeah, yeah, I can stay with the clerk. If anybody wants to join me, they can.	00:32:57
	You don't have to answer now, you're always welcome.	00:33:04
	Tony's on veterans services.	00:33:07
	I can do the treasure again.	00:33:11
	Again, anybody's welcome.	00:33:13
	Dale, do you wanna stick with Recorder, right?	00:33:16
	Matt and Sam, do you wanna?	00:33:19
	Stayed with Sheriff.	00:33:22
	Yeah, officially got great rapport with the sheriff. I think we'll stay.	00:33:24
	Tony's got the next two and if anybody wants to join Tone, any of these that are just one person, if anybody wants to jump in.	00:33:28
	I don't think anybody would would mind. We'll leave.	00:33:34
	Tony on those two unless anybody wants to joining.	00:33:37
	I'm good to do the prosecutor again, unless somebody else.	00:33:44
	I'm I'm good.	00:33:46
	OK, uh.	00:33:49
	Uh, operations.	00:33:50
	Jim, you want to stay on that? Yeah, I'm fine, OK.	00:33:52
	We'll do that.	00:33:55
	Bailey Mustang Parks.	00:33:57
	Yeah, I can be on purpose.	00:33:59
	OK, match you.	00:34:01
	Who met there in the office last year? Yeah.	00:34:03
	Yep, Yep. OK.	00:34:05
	Umm, community corrections.	00:34:07
	It was me and Matt. What about?	00:34:12
	Of probation.	00:34:14
	I listen, I'll do it, but that is a relatively complicated budget.	00:34:16
	Budding budgeting and.	00:34:21
	I'm not going to be here after this year. So somebody, I mean.	00:34:24
	Ought to step in.	00:34:28
	And.	00:34:29
	Do do that one OK.	00:34:32
	OK, that that same building so that if our work knock goes out in one day, yeah.	00:34:35
	Yeah, me and Matt for both, for those two probation.	00:34:41
	And community corrections.	00:34:45
	Tony on the next two.	00:34:47
	Dale for Co-op.	00:34:50
	Yeah, that'd be fine. OK.	00:34:52
	Health Department.	00:34:55
	You want to stay on that, Denise, or do you want to?	00:34:57
	I can again that is a really big.	00:34:59
	There's lots of different budgets there.	00:35:05
	And from what I understand some of those.	00:35:08
	Dollars have been cut from the state so.	00:35:11
	That's going to be 1 they're going to ask for funding from.	00:35:14
	And again it's.	00:35:17
	Funded by part of the.	00:35:19
	Help me out here, It's Levy driven.	00:35:23
	And HFI got cut by the state.	00:35:28
	2026 is a budget forward. It used to be 100 million distributed between 92 counties and it got cut to 40 million distributed	00:35:31
	between 92 counties.	00:35:35
	So the health department took a massive hit.	00:35:40
	I know where she's going with this. It is a very complicated budget. It is. She has been on it for years. So if there is someone	00:35:42
	else who's willing to get exposed, I mean.	00:35:47
	It's gonna take some time. It's gonna take some time to get deep into it and figure it out.	00:35:52
	Umm, if probably messages, Yeah, it might. It might be best.	00:35:59
	Appreciate the other day. You're a budget. Guess what you said. I heard if you don't want to do it, I can. I can do it. She was	00:36:06
	pretty happy with the idea.	00:36:09
	For this one, I'm telling you it needs to be somebody that's.	00:36:17
	Can put a spreadsheet together and do some excel work.	00:36:20
	It's a lot if you do that.	00:36:24
	That's fine, OK.	00:36:29
	Leave 3 on that one.	00:36:32
	Denise, Dale and Matt.	00:36:34
	And then public defender Denise, are you willing to stick on and sure.	00:36:36
	Sure, I'm just saying it there. There needs to be a transition.	00:36:40
	But Denise, I will, uh, just to comment.	00:36:45
	Remember when they passed that?	00:36:48
	Doctor Harris stood dead.	00:36:50
	Holding about two years ago and he said we'd be a fool enough to take this money and we walked out of the room, I said.	00:36:52
	We're gonna be on the hook for this in a couple. You remember that one or two years, that's exactly what happened.	00:36:57
	Because they cut all that funding.	00:37:03
	All right, public defender, but we're still required by law to.	00:37:06
	To do it, to do all statutory that we do it.	00:37:10
	So it's going to be, it's going to be interesting.	00:37:13
	Since we're kicking Matt off public defenders, anybody else want to join me on that?	00:37:18
	If not I'll I'll handle it.	00:37:22
	I'm still willing to be your sidekick. OK, Well, then we'll we'll work that out. Leave.	00:37:27
	Leave Matt on there.	00:37:31
	That's an interesting one too.	00:37:32
	Yeah, because if there's a split there and there's some laws changing there too.	00:37:34
	That are going to drive the way we have to pay public defenders so.	00:37:39
	Interesting one.	00:37:44
	Do you want to do?	00:37:46
	New shelter again or?	00:37:47
	I can't. There's nothing there because we do not, we do not fund.	00:37:50
	Jeff Brown's purview, Yeah.	00:37:56
	Umm, but how? How?	00:37:58
	I'll do it, OK.	00:38:00
	I don't even know if it's necessary.	00:38:02
	Tony said he was fine doing the corner again.	00:38:05
	You know I can handle that one.	00:38:08
	I'll be the lead on the County Council budget, but if you have.	00:38:12
	Something that you want to.	00:38:16
	Talk about and get with me.	00:38:17
	There's not a whole lot there, but.	00:38:19
	I can do the auditor anybody's welcome to join.	00:38:22
	Uh, they want.	00:38:25
	And Dale, do you want to do assessor?	00:38:29
	I can do it OK.	00:38:31
	So when, when will we be hearing from?	00:38:34
	Page. Yes, I'm sorry, Page D.	00:38:40
	July, OK.	00:38:44
	I got you back.	00:38:47
	No, I was just thinking.	00:38:49
	About the July meeting, OK, is there, is that the end of?	00:38:51
	That is almost painless. Yeah, OK, most.	00:38:55
	Are you going to send out an updated sheet?	00:39:00
	At some point, OK.	00:39:02
	So we'll be hearing from Paige at the July 14th meeting.	00:39:04
	Kind of truing up some numbers and.	00:39:10
	The must meetings start.	00:39:13
	We'll publish those. I'll send that out tomorrow as well. A list of the most meetings.	00:39:18
	The dates times.	00:39:23
	Probably a lot of information come out tomorrow so.	00:39:25
	Do we know if we.	00:39:28
	Got other, got all of them squared away. It took a little while to be able to find a time when the room was available.	00:39:29
	Have we heard back from people RSVP? They're RSVP directly to page. OK.	00:39:36
	So hopefully we have a good turn out for that.	00:39:42
	That's really nice. Good.	00:39:44
	OK, so I'm sorry.	00:39:46
	Drifting there for a minute, what's going to happen at the July meeting?	00:39:49
	Page will give an update, but we're having our first.	00:39:52
	We're having a must kick off meeting. Before that it's July 9th.	00:39:55
	I believe so.	00:39:59
	OK, it's the week before. I'm going to send out the whole list of dates tomorrow, yeah.	00:40:01
	OK, you can analyze all of them if any of you want to attend.	00:40:05
	The the task force meeting, all the taxing units are going to get together and sit down to talk about.	00:40:09
	Yes, we want that was requested by the state is Denise were you at that meeting? Yes, I was at that meeting. So who is who's on	00:40:15
	the task force?	00:40:20
	I I'm the head of it.	00:40:25
	Just because it's all all runs through council.	00:40:27
	But anybody is welcome to attend. Township trustees and pages are going to run the meeting.	00:40:29
	Pages setting it all up again.	00:40:34
	OK, Stan, can you make sure you're there?	00:40:36
	He's part of the list.	00:40:39
	All right, anybody from the public.	00:40:44
	All good.	00:40:49
	Yeah, go ahead. I think that you all.	00:40:50
	I'll be fast.	00:40:53
	State your name and address please.	00:40:55
	Is this public?	00:40:57
	It's more.	00:40:58
	Elected official commentary.	00:41:00
	Settlement got distributed Friday.	00:41:04
	That's June 5th. That's the earliest our county has ever been able to do that.	00:41:06
	I think it's a really awesome thing, actually.	00:41:11
	That we were able to file.	00:41:14
	Settlement by May 29th and have it approved the following Monday and distribute it by that Friday, so.	00:41:16
	It's a big distribution and it was a very large distribution, almost $68 million going out to the taxing districts, so.	00:41:24
	It was. It was a very large distribution.	00:41:32
	That all of that stuff is on is public record. It's available on Gateway. People can go look it up and see who got what.	00:41:34
	But so settlement is done, you've got your updated balances.	00:41:41
	And.	00:41:45
	That's it. Good job.	00:41:46
	Thank you. Thank you.	00:41:48
	Anybody from council?	00:41:49
