Congratulations. 00:01:54
Councilman Backshall, you are. 00:01:55
The 2026 vice president. 00:01:57
Our next item of business is appointment of County Council attorney and contract agreement. 00:02:00
That has. 00:02:05
Been emailed. Did that go out to everybody? 00:02:07
I don't think there's changes from. There's no changes from last year. I left the. 00:02:10
Annual, whatever the theme, I let that blank. So I just did not remember what that budget. 00:02:14
Is there a? 00:02:22
Right. 00:02:26
We left the budget flat. It is up to the County Council. 00:02:30
To discuss that if they said choose, my guess is you want to triple if you promise not to go to Pasadena anymore. 00:02:38
How much is it? 00:02:47
It's 18,800. 00:02:48
8/18, 8:29. 00:02:50
I move to accept the contract for Steve Lang as County Attorney. 00:02:57
2nd. 00:03:00
Tony, did you have some? I was just going to move to retain. 00:03:02
Any discussion before we vote? 00:03:06
All in favor say aye. 00:03:08
Aye, any opposed? 00:03:10
Welcome back. 00:03:12
Mr. Langton. 00:03:12
All right, we have. 00:03:15
A few. 00:03:16
Board appointments that we didn't take care of in December. Gloria, can you help me out one more time there? 00:03:18
You shelter for 2026? We did. 00:03:26
Not a point last month. 00:03:28
Mr. Schwartz. 00:03:31
We have had a discussion with the Circuit Court judge as well as with Miss Leah Pezzerassi. 00:03:32
And the youth shelter positions no longer exist for County Council appointment. With the rework of the board, I believe the 00:03:38
positions of council president and commissioner president, whoever holds those positions, are represented on the new board. 00:03:44
Copy that. Congratulations extra short. 00:03:50
Our next one is Community Foundation. I did speak. 00:03:57
Um, to a. 00:04:00
Lady from the Community Foundation and she reminded me that. 00:04:03
The. 00:04:07
The way that the board position works was agreed upon by the. 00:04:10
Commissioners and Council. 00:04:14
At the time of the hospital sale and the deposit. 00:04:17
To the Community Foundation, and she was. 00:04:20
Not willing to. 00:04:23
Change that, I'm not sure if we even have. 00:04:25
An appointment last year. 00:04:28
Not really. 00:04:29
They wanted. 00:04:32
3. 00:04:32
Weren't able to produce free and just didn't forward all the names that we had at the time. I think it just stayed vacant 00:04:35
throughout the year. 00:04:39
I haven't reached out to anybody. I've got a few people that I could contact and if anybody else does as well, can it be one of 00:04:44
us? 00:04:48
I'm I guess we could put our. 00:04:53
Our name in select the representative, right, right, right. I understand and I think. 00:04:55
That umm uh. 00:05:02
We'd have to produce a resume, but I think if any of us are interested in that, well, it'd be interesting if we put three of our 00:05:03
names in. 00:05:07
It would be it. I, I, I agree with you, Matt. 00:05:11
I guess I need to look at it a little bit, but I'm not even sure when they meet and what the impact. I know that's what. 00:05:17
You know we get our draw from them. 00:05:25
Yearly and. 00:05:27
I'm not sure what impact we would have. 00:05:29
On that board. 00:05:31
If we want to. 00:05:32
But we do have a substantial amount of, we have a substantial amount of money there. And I think it is a big. 00:05:34
Piece of their total. 00:05:42
Asset that they own that they have. 00:05:46
So I do think that we should have someone. 00:05:49
We can table this until February's meeting if you like and and figure out. 00:05:54
If we want to. 00:05:59
All of those things and get that information. Yeah, I can. I can ask if that's acceptable. 00:06:02
I'll let you all know and see if we. 00:06:08
If we, if there's anyone else that we, any of us want to. 00:06:11
Yeah, and if. 00:06:14
Bring a I mean, I think the last time. 00:06:15
They wanted a full resume. 00:06:19
For that, that is. 00:06:21
That is a request and I do think that there is an expectation of. 00:06:23
A contribution. 00:06:30
Of some some monetary contribution I believe. 00:06:32
Part time would be my contribution. Yeah, well, I don't know. I'm just saying I think I'll communicate. 00:06:36
With them and if. 00:06:43
If it's acceptable. 00:06:44
I will let you all know if anybody wishes to to do that. 00:06:46
We can handle that. 00:06:50
I would suggest if. 00:06:53
If a council person is acceptable. 00:06:56
And we have. 00:06:58
One or more that would like. 00:07:00
To serve there that. 00:07:02
We don't reach out to the general public to. 00:07:05
Muddy the water, so to speak. 00:07:09
Then I'll leave it up. 00:07:11
To us, but I'll let you know what they say and then we'll. 00:07:13
We'll table that. We'll take it up in February. I move we table. 00:07:16
Is there a second second? 00:07:21
We have a motion and a second to table the Community Foundation appointment until our February meeting. Any discussion? 00:07:23
All in favor say aye. 00:07:31
Aye, any opposed? 00:07:33
That's tabled in February. 00:07:34
The Parks and Rec. 00:07:36
Appointment is going to be a one year appointment. 00:07:38
For a gentleman who resigned. 00:07:43
I believe that in the. 00:07:46
Creates an open spot for one more. 00:07:47
It does need to be. 00:07:50
A Democrat. 00:07:52
Per the the guidelines. 00:07:54
And. 00:07:56
Tony, do you want to speak to this or? 00:07:57
Yes, Sir, Mr. President, I would like to nominate. 00:08:01
James Garner. 00:08:05
Senior uh. 00:08:06
For the position on the power. 00:08:09
Park Board. 00:08:11
And you've spoken to James, as I understand, I have. 00:08:13
Had a conversation with him. 00:08:16
Talk with the Superintendent of Parks and. 00:08:19
Seems like a goal. 00:08:21
If approved by this body. 00:08:22
OK. Is there a motion for James Garner? 00:08:24
You just did it for me. 00:08:27
I did. 00:08:28
OK. We have a motion and a second. Thank you. 00:08:29
Any discussion on James Garner for the I guess I would like to ask Matt, is that acceptable with the board? 00:08:33
Yeah. 00:08:40
He came to our meeting Monday just exploratory to. 00:08:42
Listening, We had our first meeting of the year and. 00:08:45
He seemed to be very willing to serve. Obviously he has a great background and. 00:08:48
In local stuff and. 00:08:52
I really appreciates Parks and Recreation. I think he will be an active board member in the $10 meetings and. 00:08:54
Hopefully also be a help that some of our community events and things as well, so it would be really great to add in if possible. 00:09:00
Any further discussion? 00:09:07
All in favor say aye aye. 00:09:10
Any opposed? 00:09:12
That carries. 00:09:13

Paperwork because I wrote this too close gym to the only. 00:09:45
So it's OK, I'll fix it or else I'll get a hold. 00:09:49
You ought to be able to go on the website and look to see if anybody I don't know. 00:09:54
I didn't really give it to you. I was going to send it with other stuff. 00:10:00
I'm just talking. 00:10:07
It hadn't, yeah. But you know, whether it be for Council, whether it be for. 00:10:09
