	Something.	00:00:00
	All right, we will now call to order.	00:00:05
	The Floyd County Council regular meeting for January 7th, 2026. Please stand for the Pledge of Allegiance.	00:00:07
	Pledge allegiance to the flag.	00:00:15
	Of the United States of America.	00:00:17
	To the Republic for which it stands.	00:00:20
	One nation under God.	00:00:22
	Indivisible.	00:00:24
	With liberty and justice are all.	00:00:25
	Let the record show that we've got a full quorum.	00:00:30
	Tonight, Mr. Bagshaw, would you?	00:00:34
	Christmas with a prayer, please. All right, let's pray.	00:00:38
	Oh, Heavenly Father.	00:00:40
	We thank you today for another day that we can.	00:00:42
	Breathe your air and walk on your earth.	00:00:44
	Or we thank you that we live in a free society, that we can have open meetings without fear of retribution.	00:00:46
	Or be with us this year, this coming year, 2026.	00:00:52
	Always extend your.	00:00:55
	Your guidance and your wisdom in part.	00:00:57
	Unto us that we can make.	00:01:00
	Prudent decisions for the community and for in the best interest of the community.	00:01:01
	Or be with each one. Lord, be with our sailors.	00:01:06
	Our Airmen, sailors, airmen, Marines today, keep them safe as they defend freedom around the world. Please keep our first	00:01:09
	responders safe today.	00:01:12
	As they keep us safe and I pray for the peace of Jerusalem in your name, Amen.	00:01:16
	All right, the acceptance of tonight's agenda.	00:01:22
	So moved.	00:01:26
	2nd I have a motion and a second for the agenda. Any discussion before we get started?	00:01:28
	All in favor say aye. Any opposed?	00:01:33
	That carries.	00:01:37
	We're going to open a public hearing for.	00:01:40
	The adoption of the *** cap development.	00:01:42
	Levy and tax rate.	00:01:46
	This is the Commission.	00:01:51
	Nurse Cap.	00:01:52
	It's a requirement from the DLGF.	00:01:58
	This was a.	00:02:00
	How do you want to explain it, Diana? I'd be happy to.	00:02:02
	So the way that the DLGS website gateway works is once we put in the advertised rates for taxing, those are supposed to all auto	00:02:07
	populate onto our form B.	00:02:11
	4B and form fours which are the.	00:02:16
	Forms that we utilize to adopt our budgets through their system and filing.	00:02:19
	On the 29th of December, I received our first 1782 notice for the county.	00:02:25
	And while reviewing all of the approved budgets, specifically for our levy rate budgets, I encountered an adjustment that I was	00:02:31
	not expecting, which was an adjustment.	00:02:35
	To the CCD budget as published.	00:02:40
	And it cut it in nearly in half.	00:02:42
	Which was my massive red flag because I knew that the income for that fund.	00:02:46
	Was not.	00:02:51
	Nearly that small.	00:02:52
	Considering what it's being utilized for. So I immediately went to Gateway to see what had occurred.	00:02:54
	Was able to research that it was in fact on our form 3. We did in fact advertise it. There was a glitch inside the system where it	00:03:01
	didn't translate to the 4B or form 4.	00:03:05
	So the 1782 notice hit my inbox at 7:00 AM. By 8:15, I had reached out to both the DLGF and Baker Tilly.	00:03:10
	To find a resolution to the issue.	00:03:17
	They reached back out to me and according to IC6-1 point 1-17-16 subsection I, there is an exception where a rate has been	00:03:20
	advertised, but for some reason there was a glitch in their nifty little system that.	00:03:27
	Failed to populate it on our adoption paperwork.	00:03:35
	So it does lessen our income of that fund.	00:03:39
	By equal or lesser to 5% of the levy increase or $100,000. And since the 5% of the levy increase is actually 84805, that is the	00:03:44
	penalty that will be receiving on income for that fund. But what it does by readopting this rate that was in fact advertised and	00:03:50
	should have been on the official adoption paperwork.	00:03:56
	It supports the budget that the County Council adopted for that fund.	00:04:02
	Allowing us to meet.	00:04:07
	Our actual obligations with that fund so.	00:04:09
	The DLGF requires that a public hearing take place.	00:04:12
	To allow the public to comment on this rate adoption that should have occurred back in October.	00:04:16
	And then once the public hearing is closed.	00:04:22
	The next item of business is to just vote to re adopt the rate that had actually been intended to be on those adoption paperworks.	00:04:26
	So this rate was presented to the council and.	00:04:31
	Processed through all of the budget season last year and was just missing off of the final documentation and that was a glitch due	00:04:38
	to the DLGF website.	00:04:42
	And this is the full right?	00:04:48
	Correct.	00:04:49
	All right. Is there any discussion among?	00:04:52
	Counsel.	00:04:54
	Is there any the pub?	00:04:57
	I was going to say the public hearing on this.	00:04:59
	All right, seeing none, we will.	00:05:03
	Adjourn the public hearing.	00:05:05
	What about the A? What about the adoption rate for?	00:05:07
	The levy.	00:05:13
	That that was OK.	00:05:16
	Right. It was just that that's what we're taking up right now you guys are about to vote on That was the one that was wrong.	00:05:19
	That's the levy rate for the CD.	00:05:23
	So it was correct on our ad.	00:05:29
	It was correct through all of our budget season when we printed our final form for for everyone to sign, it had glitched inside	00:05:32
	gateway and not.	00:05:36
	Copied over into the adoption column. Seems like there's two rates here, one for the CD and one for our.	00:05:40
	Levy, the CCD is part of your levy. It's, it's inside the levy, inside the levy that's inside the point. This is how, this is how	00:05:47
	the DLGF. So this doesn't change any of our budget numbers or anything. That's just actually fixes what we submitted. I did not	00:05:54
	understand that. My apologies if I didn't explain it well enough, right.	00:06:01
	Inside it's inside it.	00:06:07
	Rolled up, right. So what was our rate last year?	00:06:10
	Do you know that half of this?	00:06:13
	So 167.	00:06:14
	Is that right? No, I know that for the for the CCD, right. I know. But for the total levy, right.	00:06:16
	I don't have that information in front of me, but I'd be happy to.	00:06:22
	I would look it up for you. I don't have that off the top of my head today. I apologize.	00:06:25
	OK, it's fine.	00:06:29
	All right, any other discussion?	00:06:31
	We will now adjourn the public hearing.	00:06:35
	I am one of.	00:06:38
	New businesses re adoption of the Floyd County tax levy and tax rate.	00:06:39
	Specific to the CCD.	00:06:43
	Specific to the QMC CAPS Development Fund.	00:06:45
	Is there a motion for a new business #1?	00:06:49
	I'll make a motion to approve.	00:06:54
	New business #1.	00:06:56
	2nd.	00:06:57
	All right, we have a motion in a second.	00:06:58
	Any discussion before we vote?	00:07:00
	Yeah, I'd just say I didn't feel there was enough justification for doubling that rate, so.	00:07:03
	I'm opposed to it.	00:07:07
	Any other discussion?	00:07:11
	All in favor say aye.	00:07:13
	Any opposed?	00:07:16
	Aye, that carries.	00:07:16
	All right. We will now open a public hearing for our additional appropriations for tonight.	00:07:23
	Is there any public comment on?	00:07:28
	What we're going to do in this meeting for additional appropriations.	00:07:31
	Seeing none, we will adjourn the poll.	00:07:36
	Now move to approval of minutes for our December 9th, 2025 meeting.	00:07:39
	So moved second.	00:07:44
	There's a motion second for approval of minutes. Any discussion?	00:07:47
	All in favor say aye.	00:07:51
	Aye, any opposed?	00:07:53
	That carries.	00:07:55
	Item number 2.	00:07:56
	Mr. Stanhope.	00:07:58
	Thank you and welcome to 2026.	00:08:05
	I'd like to start out by saying a couple of things about the number of items that I have here with regards to just having come out	00:08:10
	of the budget process.	00:08:14
	As you know, I was fairly new to the position we were taking over the funds we had a lot of.	00:08:19
	I had a lot of growing pains during the process. I met with Danny and Jim. We went through the budgets.	00:08:25
	Thought that they were fairly straightforward at the time.	00:08:31
	But in the air of trying to make everything much more transparent, we were consolidating what was at the time.	00:08:35
	Department lies.	00:08:43
	Departmentalization in within the funds.	00:08:45
	It led to convoluted ability to clearly see the financial picture on a lot of these funds.	00:08:49
	So, umm.	00:08:55
	With that and was saying that.	00:08:56
	We tried to bring all of that into light. I was also creating what I felt was a.	00:08:58
	Pathway for success with the all of other bonds that the county.	00:09:03
	Currently holds all the debt.	00:09:08
	Obligations that we hold.	00:09:11
	And identifying where they were located, where they were being paid from.	00:09:13
	I hope that wasn't me in in.	00:09:17
	Bringing all that together.	00:09:22
	Now what was asked of us was to put the budget together.	00:09:23
	While all this was in a moving part process.	00:09:27
	We're also dealing with the Teamsters Union.	00:09:31
	Well, and what the outcome of that was going to be we.	00:09:33
	Kind of knew, but we didn't have it in writing so we couldn't technically budget for that.	00:09:38
	So in saying a couple of these things, what I'd like to ask is that.	00:09:43
	You understand the reasoning for having so many items on the agenda this evening.	00:09:48
	Oh, and one last thing I would like to just share with you is that.	00:09:54
	You know, I'm pretty good at 4:00. I like to think I'm pretty good at forecasting. I try to do the best I can. I was building.	00:09:58
	Forecast on data that I wasn't 100% assured of.	00:10:03
	And, umm.	00:10:09
	As I moved into this position step by step after the budget adoption.	00:10:10
	There were some identified gaps.	00:10:15
	And my promise and commitment to you, the Council, was that I wouldn't be here every evening with a through Double Z asking for	00:10:18
	additional or.	00:10:22
	Adjustments to current budgets. I'm trying to get these squared away.	00:10:27
	Here night one, there still may be a few blips throughout the year.	00:10:31
	I'd like to say that I.	00:10:36
	There wouldn't be but, but we never know what challenges are going to lie ahead of us.	00:10:38
	So with that being said.	00:10:43
	I'd be glad to We could start going through each of these independently and and I'll answer any.	00:10:46
	Concerns or questions that you might have.	00:10:51
	OK. Thank you.	00:10:53
	1A I guess our 2A is this is actually just the 2026 gold bind.	00:10:56
	These are the services that have been provided by all of the administrative functions currently.	00:11:02
	Pending the The fund is 4801.	00:11:09
	Or not. I'm not sure what you're going to do, as council and commissioners are going to do with the balance of the funds.	00:11:12
	But we do have obligation, financial obligations that need.	00:11:17
	Excuse me, need to be paid.	00:11:20
	So the professional services are maker Tilly.	00:11:22
	I think. Let's see.	00:11:26
	Orange and Thornburg, I think our own local attorney, the Fox Law Offices. So it's all wrapped up in.	00:11:28
	In a lot of these professional services, requests for.	00:11:34
	For this first item that go bomb.	00:11:37
	Do you want to do these independently or all together? Or let's do.	00:11:41
	If we can, let's do A&B together, yeah.	00:11:45
	The 2nd 2B is the Bridgend.	00:11:49
	These also we know that.	00:11:52
	In my learning experience and in conversation with law. Fox Law Offices.	00:11:55
	They've also educated me a little bit more about I don't have to wait until.	00:12:00
	The money is in the fund, the appropriations are set and we can go ahead and try to square this away.	00:12:04
	With Council knowing what our obligations are going to be based on the outcome of the.	00:12:09
	Are the implementation of the receipt of the monies themselves so?	00:12:14
	At the December meeting, I think the bridge bond.	00:12:20
	Fund was created.	00:12:22
	I don't think there were any appropriations at that point set. So what I'm asking is that we can make sure and set appropriations	00:12:25
	for.	00:12:28
	The professional services.	00:12:31
	And then just setting the.	00:12:33
	The Bridge Project fund.	00:12:35
	Lying in place so that as we get the expenses.	00:12:38
	Associated.	00:12:42
	From uh.	00:12:43
	These projects.	00:12:44
	We're ready to move forward with paying our vendors timely.	00:12:45
	So I have a couple questions on on 2B.	00:12:50
	The four million that you've got in the bid?	00:12:54
	Bridge project is that our portion of the this that that doesn't include the Q.	00:12:57
	Not the Kim Cap, the.	00:13:04
	The grant part of it.	00:13:07
	Of the reimbursement points.	00:13:09
	No, this is our obligation.	00:13:10
	This is what the bridge, the bridge bond is going to generate.	00:13:13
	To $4.2 million.	00:13:16
	So.	00:13:19
	Our obligation for Bridge 51 is 1.6.	00:13:20
	I think $1.67 million.	00:13:23
	This does not include the $8 million federal funding.	00:13:26
	Yes ma'am. This also includes Bridge 27 as well. Those were the 2 bridge projects that were identified in the request for the	00:13:33
	bridge bond.	00:13:36
	I have one more question the.	00:13:44
	The GO bond, the fund balance says 4,000,001 Eighty 749430.	00:13:46
	Is that the total bond that?	00:13:52
	And we?	00:13:55
	If I remember right, that was split.	00:13:56
	Half and half between.	00:13:58
	I believe that was the initial discussions. I don't know if there's been anything solid.	00:14:01
	So there was an ordinance that was passed. It wasn't OK.	00:14:05
	Yeah, and it split half and half, right?	00:14:09
	So.	00:14:13
	Are there going to be two lines in that fund?	00:14:14
	You should actually. I believe they're further on in the agenda underneath.	00:14:18
	Oh, OK, we'll get there then.	00:14:21
	OK. Thank you.	00:14:23
	Is there a motion for 2A and B?	00:14:26
	Move to approve as advertised.	00:14:31
	What's happening? We have a motion and a second for 2A and B any further?	00:14:34
	Questions or discussion now the professional services that for engineering and.	00:14:39
	Yes, yes.	00:14:43
	Legal and engineering.	00:14:45
	And and you just want to.	00:14:47
	Bill pay the bills when they come due, yes.	00:14:49
	At the end of the bridge project that may wind up being 157 or 167. You at this point you don't really know. Yes, Sir.	00:14:51
	Any further discussion?	00:15:01
	All in favor of 2A and B say aye.	00:15:04
	Aye, any opposed?	00:15:06
	That was scary.	00:15:08
	2C is the MVH restricted fund so.	00:15:10
	One of the things that.	00:15:15
	In discussion with the Commissioners and operations as we wanted to take all of the salaries out of 1173, move them into 1176, the	00:15:17
	unrestricted portion.	00:15:22
	Were eligible to pay the bond out of 1173 because of the.	00:15:27
	Link of the bond itself.	00:15:32
	To the project.	00:15:33
	Umbrella of allowable expenses so.	00:15:35
	We're asking to allocate the bond payments, which I didn't know prior to the budget process.	00:15:38
	Contractual services.	00:15:44
	In paving, I've left it just a little bit short because.	00:15:46
	There were still some salaries linked to the 1173 fund initially when I did the budget, but as we grew and we decided we wanted to	00:15:51
	move those out of the restricted fund into just a regular.	00:15:56
	MVH Fund.	00:16:02
	It allowed us to push that paving up to $1,000,000.	00:16:03
	That also, since we didn't have the wheel tax, gives us our million dollar Match for Community Crossings grant.	00:16:08
	That we can now. We now know that we have that committed.	00:16:14
	So we will also be eligible for the full amount of the Community Crossings grant as well.	00:16:18
	How much is the community concentrance?	00:16:23
	It, I think last time I talked to Nick, it was, it was just at $1,000,000 as well. It's like 900 and.	00:16:25
	Some other thousand and that's going to be used for roads. That's paving, yes. Paving for roads and bridge paving, Yes ma'am.	00:16:32
	And then the last three projects the.	00:16:42
	Bridge 58 about.	00:16:45
	Baylor, Weissman Road and the Highway 150 break.	00:16:47
	Those are ones that I have presented to you back in November of 25.	00:16:50
	The projects didn't get taken off in time.	00:16:55
	This is also a most. These all three are 8020 matches which we are going to.	00:16:58
	80% or 20% of this can be paid from 1173, the restricted MVH fund, we're going to transfer that money over into the.	00:17:05
	9124 fund to follow the guidelines for grant reimbursements.	00:17:13
	After consulting with the honors office to keep this nice and clean.	00:17:18
	But this is just a reintroduction of these two.	00:17:22
	These two are these three projects.	00:17:25
	Which didn't get off the ground in 2025.	00:17:28
	But will definitely be.	00:17:30
	Underway here in 2026.	00:17:33
	Is there a motion for two?	00:17:38
	Motion for 2C as advertised.	00:17:41
	Second motion and a second for 2C. Any further discussion?	00:17:43
	Diane, how much money is in that fund?	00:17:48
	You don't say usually they say how much is in the front.	00:17:51
	NBA restricted, yes, 600 and they've covered what we're appropriating here. Well, they they just sent down, I think.	00:17:53
	The dollar amount so it would.	00:18:01
	They're off. Diana's office will do is they'll take the.	00:18:02
	I think it's the total is like.	00:18:05
	Yes, split equally between the two. Yeah, because of our.	00:18:09
	The income projected for this fund supports the budget he is currently requesting. OK, OK.	00:18:13
	To be perfectly honest, at this point we wouldn't let them come forward and ask about it. That's not going to be supported by the	00:18:18
	fund because.	00:18:21
	Clean up too many of those the last couple years.	00:18:24
	And I'm not going to spend more money than what I have.	00:18:27
	Any further discussion?	00:18:31
	All in favor of 2C say aye.	00:18:34
	Aye, any opposed?	00:18:36
	That carries.	00:18:38
	On 2D this is the edit fund. Just some adjustments. Again, these are more like.	00:18:39
	Some cleanup things that.	00:18:44
	That maybe I've missed because I also built a complete pay schedule.	00:18:46
	For employee salaries.	00:18:51
	Once we got through.	00:18:54
	All of the salaries lined out.	00:18:55
	It I had seen where I had over appropriated the other employees salaries.	00:18:57
	So want to reduce that down contractual services.	00:19:02
	That line, apparently I missed that line completely, so we wanted to actually get that back in here. Same with utilities.	00:19:06
	I'm not sure why I missed it, but I did and I'm just asking that it gets added back in here.	00:19:13
	And then the redevelopment behind that just brings that up to?	00:19:19
	Let's see, the bond itself is 304,000. I think I've only requested 30,000 at the time again.	00:19:24
	While I was building the bond structure.	00:19:30
	It opened my eyes a lot. To where?	00:19:33
	Where all these bots being paid from?	00:19:35
	And this one actually had some.	00:19:37
	Possibly been designated in the.	00:19:40
	Legal paperwork to be paid from the end of funds so.	00:19:43
	It's now being paid from yet a fund.	00:19:46
	And then the.	00:19:49
	We have that 400.	00:19:50
	$420,000 purchase that we placed an order with the state for.	00:19:52
	The salt line.	00:19:57
	Just trying to fit salt in wherever I can with whatever funding I've got. So that's why I sell it's here.	00:19:59
	And then the last part of the system transfers.	00:20:05
	The transfer to another fund isn't allowed on the edit fund. It was for some election.	00:20:08
	It was just for some election.	00:20:15
	Contractual services.	00:20:18
	And then again the parts behind.	00:20:20
	Just transferred the parks bond down to try to get that back to.	00:20:22
	We're asked to be able to.	00:20:26
	That's the payment for 2026.	00:20:27
	Motion to Approve 2 and E.	00:20:30
	2nd we have a motion and a second for.	00:20:33
	To D&E.	00:20:36
	Any discussion or questions for Stan?	00:20:38
	All in favor say aye.	00:20:43
	Aye, any opposed?	00:20:44
	Both those carried 2F is just I'm sorry, just a question.	00:20:46
	Do we really want to go through each one of these line by line?	00:20:51
	You can always make a motion for all of them if you would like.	00:20:57
	Stan, how far down do you go? Do you go to?	00:21:01
	And every benefit is clean up like what you.	00:21:05
	Already seen at this point.	00:21:10
	And we're on F right now.	00:21:14
	I'll make a motion to approve afterm.	00:21:16
	2nd.	00:21:19
	There's a motion a second.	00:21:20
	For items 2F through M.	00:21:22
	For budget cleanup.	00:21:25
	Any discussion on any of these?	00:21:27
	Agenda items.	00:21:30
	Seeing none, all in favor say aye.	00:21:34
	Aye, any opposed?	00:21:37
	All those car.	00:21:38
	Thank you very much. Just like to make a comment no matter who stands at that podium.	00:21:40
	It's either freezing in this room or it's hot in this room.	00:21:45
	You had Donnie Hair sitting in this office, I mean in this meeting room the other day. Not one person made that comment.	00:21:48
	But if I may say Donnie's doing a spectacular job, management facilities and hopefully our meetings here will be short lived Will.	00:21:55
	We're moving on to bigger and better things in the very near future.	00:22:03
	Or can you give us just a little bit more on there? We're down to Item 33.	00:22:09
	Stainless is still used. They can.	00:22:15
	Yes, Sir. OK, go right here.	00:22:17
	Just to give you a really brief we lost our planner and.	00:22:19
	Gabrielle also has decided to leave, so Nick's had to take on a few additional responsibilities.	00:22:24
	So I'm going to.	00:22:30
	Try and pull my part as well to help Nick.	00:22:32
	Through some of the issues that.	00:22:34
	May arise.	00:22:36
	If I leave any information out or I'm not able to answer your questions, I will certainly gather all of it and have it to you.	00:22:38
	First thing tomorrow morning.	00:22:44
	These two items, and I'm kind of lump them together if I may, because they're somewhat cold.	00:22:47
	Correlated are all payments obligations from the the Revolving Loan Fund.	00:22:52
	Fund, 4938.	00:22:58
	There's 100. Actually there's $164,676 in.	00:23:01
	30-4 cents currently.	00:23:05
	In that fun.	00:23:07
	The fund hasn't been utilized.	00:23:09
	Probably in over a decade.	00:23:11
	So in saying that, the first the FCRLR loan agreement is with Red Wire?	00:23:13
	There is a signed agreement that was handed to Nick and I that stipulated that in the first period of red wire taking occupancy.	00:23:21
	Of their new facility that they would be granted a $312,000.	00:23:30
	Loan A forgivable loan.	00:23:37
	From Floyd County from the.	00:23:39
	The uh.	00:23:42
	Revolving loan fund.	00:23:44
	There are stipulate their economic stipulations attached to that. I could read those to you or I could have them sent out to you.	00:23:46
	For your evaluation if need be.	00:23:53
	This has to be vetted by both the commissioners and the council. It was presented to the commissioners and through last night.	00:23:56
	Just for your information.	00:24:02
	I but.	00:24:04
	Janus has also gone through redevelopment as well. Yes Sir, thank you.	00:24:07
	Yeah, Yeah. Actually redevelopment started in when?	00:24:11
	They approved it, allowed it to go to the commissioners.	00:24:14
	Which I approved it and it just would need a signature from.	00:24:17
	The Council President, with the Council's approval tonight.	00:24:21
	Tim, the second part of this is.	00:24:27
	If Tim Tweet was here from proper pilots.	00:24:30
	They are another organization that has taken Occupancy and Innovation Park.	00:24:34
	They won the award, They won several awards. That's why we still was here to explain to you what that program is all about. But	00:24:39
	it's a very innovative program.	00:24:44
	Which is.	00:24:48
	The epitome of what Innovation Parks.	00:24:50
	Core mission is.	00:24:53
	And that is to encourage new business, innovative new business to take occupancy in.	00:24:55
	Floyd County.	00:25:01
	In saying that.	00:25:02
	Proper pilots have also.	00:25:05
	Been granted the opportunity for a $50,000 loan.	00:25:08
	First payments 25,000.	00:25:12
	Again, this is A and then the second payment in three years.	00:25:14
	Once he meets additional economic requirements.	00:25:17
	And then this is also a forgivable loan.	00:25:22
	But it's to help buy equipment or real property in both of these situations.	00:25:26
	That.	00:25:31
	Currently you're taxed.	00:25:33
	We're not sure what the impacts are going to be moving forward so.	00:25:35
	I think that was the intent of as to why these were given in the form that they were, because we were recouping.	00:25:39
	Portion of this and the taxing portion of.	00:25:45
	Our process anyway.	00:25:48
	So what is the balance in the fund?	00:25:50
	Where these would be paid from? It's A16467634 and how much?	00:25:53
	Are we going to be paying out by the end of this year?	00:26:00
	The end of this year we'll have the just the 25,000 to proper pilots and the 312,500 to.	00:26:03
	Red wire, so it's.	00:26:11
	500.	00:26:15
	But if there's only 167 there, where's the rest of the money come from?	00:26:18
	I have some suggestions, but I.	00:26:25
	Think we can discuss this?	00:26:28
	This was the the 312 five was handed to us obviously from previous.	00:26:31
	Administrations, but.	00:26:37
	In that I don't think the fund even had that money in that at that time.	00:26:39
	Regardless.	00:26:43
	Our obligation is to move forward.	00:26:44
	My suggestion would be.	00:26:46
	Will exhaust the non reviling loan fund.	00:26:48
	But I think it needs to come from an economic development.	00:26:51
	Fund. I've got an economic development line in the edit fund that could carry the balance.	00:26:54
	For the first payment of 100.	00:27:00
	72,800 and.	00:27:02
	$24.00 so.	00:27:04
	So you've already got a line in at it.	00:27:05
	That would cover the remaining balance.	00:27:08
	OK.	00:27:11
	Stan, I understand that the red wire we're contractually obligated, but are we obligated as well?	00:27:12
	On the second one, proper pilots.	00:27:19
	No, I I don't.	00:27:24
	Think that we're under an obligation other than the.	00:27:26
	We're we're, we're the last stop in the obligation. It's gone through redevelopment and it's gone through the commissioners. So	00:27:29
	we're we're the last stop.	00:27:33
	And, and like Stan said, there are.	00:27:38
	Benchmarks to meet.	00:27:41
	Along the way.	00:27:43
	For, for this as far as so when you say forgivable loan, they're going to pay it back, there's going to be an interest is that.	00:27:45
	Or is it totally we're just giving them the money?	00:27:52
	Yeah, so I'm just picking winners and losers.	00:27:54
	How do you just pick two businesses and provide them with money and not these other businesses so it's not a loan?	00:27:57
	To be fair.	00:28:02
	We've opened up.	00:28:04
	The.	00:28:05
	The RFP process for.	00:28:07
	All businesses too.	00:28:09
	To inquire about.	00:28:11
	Proper Pilots has employment and production metrics included in their loan.	00:28:13
	That they're required to meet.	00:28:19
	For it to remain a forgivable loan. Is that accurate? Well, their first installment.	00:28:21
	Has no stipulations their second installment.	00:28:26
	They have to have three full time employees making over $60,000 or they have to have a gross revenue base of $180,000.	00:28:29
	And they have to have their office.	00:28:36
	And the Noble Park.	00:28:38
	Right now they're operating out of.	00:28:40
	It's gotta be a NOLA party. Yes man. Noah Park.	00:28:42
	Right now, because they won the award, they are housed in the whistle stop through the end of 26 I think.	00:28:45
	Right to conduct their business.	00:28:50
	MRI Does Nova Park have its own text? Its district now would not approve so.	00:28:54
	They're not. It's not even going to general fund either.	00:28:58
	They they have a TIF district. Is that what you're talking about? Yeah.	00:29:02
	But it doesn't generate enough money yet.	00:29:09
	To pay these.	00:29:12
	Saying we're pulling money out of the county.	00:29:14
	We're going to, we're going. It's going to have to come out of the edit.	00:29:16
	Because any to be honest with you.	00:29:20
	As I'm looking through the bond payments the the bond for Innovation Park.	00:29:22
	I was hoping to use a portion of the any tip money that may be generated.	00:29:28
	To pay the bond.	00:29:33
	Which would reduce the the need to gather for money from elsewhere.	00:29:35
	I'm going to confess I did not read the agreements word for word, not seeing that they were in there, but.	00:29:38
	Does the agreement specifically say it comes out of the?	00:29:44
	The the fund that you were talking about earlier.	00:29:49
	Revolving revolving loan not revolving loan fund.	00:29:52
	I I have a problem with that.	00:29:55
	I don't.	00:29:57
	Really have a problem incentives incentivizing, but I think the documentation needs to.	00:29:58
	Say what we're going to do, and right now there's not enough money in there to pay even the first payment.	00:30:03
	Out of that fund.	00:30:10
	So I'm not a fan of signing these agreements without it saying exactly where that money is going to come from.	00:30:11
	I'm not saying I won't.	00:30:19
	Sign off on the incentive.	00:30:22
	Incentivizing me.	00:30:24
	I probably will, but the documentation needs to be called.	00:30:26
	Correct, that's where I'm at with this.	00:30:30
	Are you committing to paying it out of that economic Development Fund?	00:30:35
	Are the commissioners need to approve that?	00:30:40
	Part or it needs to say it in the agreement.	00:30:43
	I don't know. Yeah. I was gonna say, is there a deadline for this?	00:30:50
	That I understand what you're saying.	00:30:55
	The red wire part worked contractually obligated.	00:31:00
	So there will be money moved into this.	00:31:02
	Fund agreement.	00:31:05
	For that.	00:31:07
	Now some type of economic development funds.	00:31:08
	We need to know where. I mean, we need to know.	00:31:12
	Yeah, I agree.	00:31:15
	That's going to be up to the commissioners to say.	00:31:17
	Fools from.	00:31:19
	What can we table this until they have discussion on this?	00:31:21
	I don't think I.	00:31:25
	I think either the agreement needs to be.	00:31:28
	Revised.	00:31:32
	Or.	00:31:33
	The money needs to be put in that fund to pay it.	00:31:34
	One or the other.	00:31:36
	Before I would agree to.	00:31:37
	To vote on this, that one or the other there were. Those two things needs to happen.	00:31:40
	With the agreement with red bar is a sign sound degree that that's OK.	00:31:44
	Kind of taken that off of the table, OK.	00:31:48
	The proper pilots we can pay from this fund.	00:31:51
	Right. And then, then the balance of that money's then we could find a, an additional economic Development Fund or funding source.	00:31:53
	To pay for the red.	00:32:02
	And I think so. They're saying we really don't need to vote on a.	00:32:05
	No, I think, I think we need to vote.	00:32:09
	I think a is a sort of.	00:32:11
	We have to vote on it. I mean, I think that's improper pilots is a.	00:32:12
	It's a program. Maybe they're dependent upon this. I I haven't talked a lot with Tim.	00:32:17
	I think they presented the redevelopment they did, but.	00:32:22
	That I did, yeah. And I want to support the business. I'm just saying we need to make sure we have the money. I think your	00:32:25
	conversation, if I may, is, is.	00:32:29
	That that's a conversation for.	00:32:33
	Why would we ever get into an agreement when we don't have it in in place?	00:32:35
	I think if we evaluate these in reverse order here, we look at proper pilots first.	00:32:39
	They we know that we can manage that.	00:32:45
	If we took took the red wire.	00:32:47
	We can't.	00:32:49
	Man, it's either one of.	00:32:51
	We can manage proper pilots from the number of revolving loan fund.	00:32:52
	Move forward with that program.	00:32:56
	Because it's a very innovative program.	00:32:58
	Positive for what innovation Partner Park stands for.	00:33:00
	Red wire is a contract that.	00:33:04
	We just cannot enter into.	00:33:06
	Moving forward.	00:33:09
	Without having vetted all the funding. So when is that?	00:33:10
	Payment due to red wire.	00:33:14
	I've got the claim ready to go. It's it's.	00:33:18
	Have they taken? Have they taken occupancy?	00:33:20
	Yes. Umm.	00:33:22
	I don't know.	00:33:23
	They officially well.	00:33:25
	I think they're in there. The grand opening is probably several weeks away and I think they still have a couple of experiments	00:33:27
	they're still doing out at the 150 location, so.	00:33:31
	They can't.	00:33:36
	Physically move those those those experiments just yet.	00:33:37
	To to get everything out of that location. So if we table a.	00:33:40
	Well, that's my, that's my issue, right? Is if we're voting on 8 tonight, we need to know where the funds are coming from.	00:33:46
	I understand what we're contractually obligated, but we need to figure out and have a funding source for.	00:33:51
	Yeah.	00:33:56
	When is the? Is the contract dated and?	00:33:58
	The daily move in They're expecting 312,000.	00:34:01
	There I do know that in a recent conversation they were anticipating payment for the 312.	00:34:04
	So the go ahead.	00:34:11
	The contract says the county warrants that will make every.	00:34:15
	It will make every effort to make the funds referenced in 3D the 312,000.	00:34:18
	Available for disbursement to the borrower in a timely manner.	00:34:24
	I don't know what timely means.	00:34:27
	In every effort. I'm not sure what every effort means.	00:34:30
	I just I have a problem voting on something. We don't know where the funds are. The funds are there, but.	00:34:33
	I mean.	00:34:37
	I'd like to specify where we're.	00:34:38
	I don't. I don't disagree at all.	00:34:41
	I agree with you 100%.	00:34:43
	But keep in mind this is.	00:34:45
	The commissioners that are going to be moving money around.	00:34:49
	To to pay this, it's not going to be the council side we're.	00:34:52
	We're blessing the process basically and but if we want to table, we table that's. I have no objection to that. That's I just want	00:34:56
	to.	00:35:00
	Be clear that.	00:35:04
	The commissioners will be moving money out of.	00:35:05
	And economic Development Fund into this revolving loan fund.	00:35:08
	To to shore it up.	00:35:12
	Or it will be paid directly from the Economic Development Fund, depending on because we've recently learned so nifty new laws.	00:35:13
	1st please we can't move money out of it so it would be paid directly from.	00:35:21
	Economic.	00:35:28
	Is there all would be paid after so?	00:35:29
	Is there a joint meeting coming up in January? I believe it's on the 16th, but that does not leave us.	00:35:34
	Enough money for an advertisement of additional appropriations. So it would require a line transfer at that point if you can find	00:35:41
	the monies to move.	00:35:44
	And then we could do a follow up, additional appropriation if needed to shore up wherever you moved it from.	00:35:49
	Is that appropriate?	00:35:55
	Acceptable.	00:35:58
	I can make that happen, that's for sure. I will happily help Stan make that happen.	00:36:00
	And we meet our obligation. But I think the the point being.	00:36:06
	Is contracts can't be signed.	00:36:10
	Commitments can't be made with financial obligations of funds that don't exist and.	00:36:14
	There should be a.	00:36:18
	Conversation moving forward.	00:36:20
	On any commitments, I agree.	00:36:24
	Yeah, yeah, because and they clear, concise.	00:36:27
	Funding source should be identified.	00:36:30
	Regardless, do we know how much that fun started out with and how it was dispersed?	00:36:33
	You talk about the revolving loan fund. Yeah.	00:36:38
	I'm on redevelopment and I.	00:36:42
	All of 2025 and from the conversations that were had there.	00:36:44
	It hasn't been utilized.	00:36:48
	It hasn't been anything issued out of the revolving loans in almost a decade. It's been at that, It's been at that.	00:36:50
	Amount so I guess why did we sign it contract if we knew there was my thoughts are they were going to pay it out of.	00:36:56
	Edit Edit Yeah.	00:37:02
	And and now they're.	00:37:04
	Now they're wanting to split it. OK.	00:37:05
	Or you know.	00:37:07
	Having and I think the only the only reference to that Mister Joy is the fact that it was identified in the contract itself. It.	00:37:08
	It's specifically stated non revolving loan fund if if I'm if I'm reading it right.	00:37:14
	But if it does also allow us the latitude to find.	00:37:19
	It doesn't say the doesn't.	00:37:23
	Tied 100%. I don't know that I don't think it requires, no, I agree with you. I don't think it requires that it has to come out of	00:37:26
	that.	00:37:30
	So I think.	00:37:34
	You got to make every effort to figure out a way to pay. It is basically what it comes down South if we table to the joint	00:37:36
	meeting.	00:37:38
	Yes, A.	00:37:41
	Yes, and take up B tonight.	00:37:43
	Yes, we can do all of those things.	00:37:45
	You good with that?	00:37:47
	Absolutely. OK.	00:37:48
	I mean it.	00:37:51
	The issue I guess.	00:37:53
	The bottom line is we're obligated to pay based on the contractual.	00:37:55
	Signing that's been passed out, give me a line transfer that covers it tomorrow when the Council be comfortable with us going	00:37:59
	ahead and issuing it knowing that a line transfer is coming forth to cover.	00:38:04
	And then I think at the joint meeting we could.	00:38:10
	This could be a.	00:38:12
	Point of discussion.	00:38:13
	Stating that.	00:38:15
	These things need to be vetted financially before all contracts or.	00:38:16
	Put together and committed to.	00:38:21
	That way we don't.	00:38:23
	We don't delay our payment to our.	00:38:25
	A great organization or vendor who has been committed to Kennedy.	00:38:27
	But.	00:38:31
	All right, so there's.	00:38:34
	There's our options. We can.	00:38:36
	Table A to the joint meeting or we can authorize.	00:38:37
	Transfer. Well, no, you can still table it.	00:38:41
	But if he gets me the line paper, the line transfer documentation tomorrow.	00:38:43
	Knowing that it's coming down the line, the council.	00:38:47
	Knowing that there is going to be a transfer.	00:38:50
	To cover this this payment.	00:38:53
	Comfortable with that's going ahead and processing it so that our commitment is met they can wait another two weeks I mean they	00:38:56
	can wait another week I.	00:39:00
	I think they can.	00:39:05
	I was just checking.	00:39:06
	As per Steve's conversation, there's another date certain on there, right? I think we should wait.	00:39:09
	I'll, I'll leave it up to, to you all to make the motion and.	00:39:15
	And I'll make a motion that we table 3A to the.	00:39:18
	Joint meeting on the 16th and we take this up with the commissioners about how they want to fund that.	00:39:26
	Do you want to include the? OK, sorry, go ahead.	00:39:31
	I'll just let's just keep that clean and let's just do 2A.	00:39:35
	Just try it.	00:39:38
	Is there a second 38? Is there a second for tabling 3/8 to the joint meeting?	00:39:39
	I'll second that.	00:39:43
	We have a motion and a second for tabling. 3A. Any further discussion?	00:39:44
	All in favor say aye aye. Any opposed?	00:39:49
	All right, we'll take that up at the joint meeting. I'll make a motion to approve 3.	00:39:53
	As advertised.	00:39:58
	Is there a second?	00:40:02
	I'll second it.	00:40:07
	For discussion.	00:40:10
	What do you all got?	00:40:12
	I'm still.	00:40:14
	My apologies.	00:40:17
	But uh.	00:40:18
	This contract has not been signed, correct?	00:40:19
	For three.	00:40:23
	I talked in the Dickson I.	00:40:26
	Yeah. So how binding is it been signed?	00:40:30
	I'm sorry, Sir, how binding is it if it hadn't been signed the Commissioner?	00:40:32
	They signed it last night.	00:40:36
	Right.	00:40:38
	What you have is documents that was sent to you prior to those meetings, so your backup documentation doesn't have the signatures	00:40:49
	like the garden. Since then there was a meeting last night with proper pilots were signed off on by the commissioners. We have the	00:40:54
	original document for signature 29.	00:40:58
	OK. So it has in fact been signed?	00:41:06
	OK.	00:41:09
	And if I can just speak to please.	00:41:11
	To the company a little bit.	00:41:14
	It's it's a startup company that's gaining a lot of traction.	00:41:17
	I don't know what the growth.	00:41:21
	Potential is.	00:41:23
	But the.	00:41:26
	Owner of the company.	00:41:29
	As a Floyd County resident.	00:41:30
	And he wanted to keep it in Floyd County, and I believe that.	00:41:31
	Louisville offered him.	00:41:34
	He's been enticed by the women, right? He is.	00:41:36
	And uh.	00:41:39
	And not only does you want to stay here, he's.	00:41:40
	Telling other people in the industry about Nova Park.	00:41:43
	So he's a, he's a good ambassador for for Nova Park.	00:41:48
	I just wanted to get that out there, that.	00:41:52
	And honestly, I agree with all that and I think we need business. We've invested quite a bit in Nova Park. We need to get.	00:41:56
	People in Nova Park.	00:42:03
	Permanently.	00:42:05
	To me, my heartburn is more on the process of how this is.	00:42:06
	Unfolding.	00:42:11
	I understand.	00:42:12
	The funds are in.	00:42:13
	That line item.	00:42:15
	And we can do it, I guess my.	00:42:17
	Only point is how we proceed with more of these because we're going to need to do more of these to fill up that.	00:42:19
	Park possibly, and we really can't until.	00:42:27
	The the revolving loan fund.	00:42:30
	Generates some money or is is funded by edit?	00:42:33
	And eventually it could possibly the revolving loan.	00:42:39
	Fun could be.	00:42:43
	Funded by the TIF and that's something we need to think about.	00:42:45
	And that it's something that commissioners need to think about now. You're right. And that's why I want to have this discussion	00:42:49
	with the commissioners and not pay this.	00:42:53
	We need to have a discussion about.	00:42:57
	How that evolving loan?	00:43:00
	Fine, gets some.	00:43:02
	Revenue.	00:43:04
	We're also exploring some grants. There's a lot of innovation grants that that exist.	00:43:07
	Be just getting new into the game. It's like I'm still getting my feet wet, so I'm finding these things out. So these are all	00:43:13
	pieces that are coming together.	00:43:17
	And I don't disagree with any of the comments, it's just.	00:43:23
	Do we make our?	00:43:28
	Participants in Nova Park.	00:43:31
	Wait while we workout.	00:43:33
	The situational problems that we're.	00:43:35
	You're realizing all the true real problems. You know the.	00:43:38
	I believe in the fact that that we we have Innovation Park, we want good people, we've got great people.	00:43:43
	2 great programs that.	00:43:49
	Are the core mission of Noble Park.	00:43:51
	We don't want to.	00:43:55
	I would I would not like to see.	00:43:56
	Proper pallets get away or would I like to see?	00:43:58
	You know.	00:44:01
	Red wire take a kick in the shin for any reason financially.	00:44:02
	Not that that 25,000 or 312,500 is that kick.	00:44:06
	We know we're obligated to pay. I think it's still.	00:44:12
	If we if.	00:44:15
	We paid.	00:44:17
	We still need to fix our process for.	00:44:19
	It's broken. And I think that's my whole point, Stan, I agree with you. I I think we need to help these companies out.	00:44:21
	It's just the process that I'm having a hard time with tonight, so I'm.	00:44:28
	I'm I'm ready.	00:44:31
	And.	00:44:34
	We said we.	00:44:37
	We will always, the Council will always be the last stop.	00:44:38
	These originate in redevelopment.	00:44:42
	I know and then.	00:44:44
	Then go to the commissioners. But that's why we have joint meetings and we should have brought, we should have been talking about	00:44:45
	this in a joint meeting in the last two or maybe 3.	00:44:50
	Joint meetings have been cancelled.	00:44:55
	And these are exactly the things that need to be talked about.	00:44:58
	And so that's my point.	00:45:03
	We need to be in a joint meeting and we need to be having those and we need to be talking about these kinds of things.	00:45:06
	And I absolutely agree. I think we we.	00:45:12
	We're developing a lot of.	00:45:14
	More of a cohesive team relationship lease on the operation side with council commissioners.	00:45:16
	And trying to pull these little gaps.	00:45:21
	So or identify the gaps, eliminate these gaps so that we can all move forward and be successful in everything we do so.	00:45:23
	I echo your beliefs. Believe me. You know my heart. That's that's where I want. I don't want.	00:45:32
	Just like I didn't want to have to come with 25 different things to council members, it's like these gaps need to.	00:45:37
	We need to hash these out and arm these out before we.	00:45:43
	Have to keep pushing them to the last hour.	00:45:47
	Thank you, Sir.	00:45:51
	Any further discussion on 3B?	00:45:52
	All in favor say aye.	00:45:58
	Aye. Any opposed? Aye.	00:45:59
	Aye, thank.	00:46:01
	That carries. Thank you very much.	00:46:04
	Good. I think we're good.	00:46:07
	I would like to, if I may, Sir, just one comment. I'd like to thank Diana Topping in the auditor staff with.	00:46:09
	Teamsters Union getting.	00:46:15
	Agreement getting.	00:46:16
	Create a lot of extra work and effort on their part.	00:46:18
	Her payroll person, Shelly Harden, did a magnificent job hammering through a lot of those aspects and.	00:46:22
	I really appreciated her dedication and commitment. I know it cost her hours and time and labor and.	00:46:28
	I really do appreciate everything that you guys did, so thank you very much.	00:46:33
	Thank you.	00:46:38
	All right, Diana, you are.	00:46:39
	Just to hit the tail end of that.	00:46:44
	Those things got done because my 83rd and my payroll clerk are very dedicated to their jobs.	00:46:47
	I did not do any of that.	00:46:52
	They did. I was cleaning up other messes.	00:46:54
	But they were very determined that everybody get what was.	00:46:57
	Owed to them as far as the.	00:47:01
	We'll call it. It's not necessarily a signing bonus, but.	00:47:04
	Hey, we finally figured out what we're going to do.	00:47:07
	Kind of.	00:47:10
	Buyout and then the adjusted rates for the new year, so both Shelley and Rhoda.	00:47:10
	Absolutely knocked it out of the park. As far as taking care of the highway department, they did a really great job.	00:47:16
	I'm incredibly lucky to have the staff that I have.	00:47:22
	Hopefully my crazy doesn't change them up anytime soon.	00:47:25
	I know it looks like a lot guys, but the reality is most of this kind of.	00:47:30
	Goes with each other. SO4A and 4B are literally unappropriating Ema's budget from the general fund and appropriating it into the	00:47:35
	public safety fund where you all decide and you wanted it but because we had not advertised enough for the PS lit.	00:47:42
	During the budget advertisement portion.	00:47:50
	It was agreed that we would do this cleanup at the first meeting of the new year. So that is what that represents. So A&B goes	00:47:53
	together and they are unappropriating from the general and reappropriating into the 1170.	00:47:59
	I moved to approve for A&B.	00:48:06
	2nd, we have a motion, a second for 4A and B, any questions for Diana?	00:48:08
	All in favor say aye.	00:48:15
	Any opposed?	00:48:17
	That carries.	00:48:18
	CI think is missing an entire line.	00:48:21
	Should have a $2,000,000 appropriation.	00:48:23
	For capital improvements both for 0068 and 0061.	00:48:29
	0068 representing the Commissioners and 0061 representing the Council. Those are your portions.	00:48:38
	I Should we appropriate the money before we know what we're going to use the money for, All it does is put it in two spin lines I.	00:48:46
	So that once you decide where you want to spend it.	00:48:56
	It you can without having to wait an entire month's time to be able to do so. Except for we don't get the notice about how.	00:48:59
	How it's being spent, it could be spent. You do. We would not.	00:49:07
	I'm not going to let anything come out of your line that you haven't approved. Yeah, this just splits it up between, but the	00:49:11
	commissioners would.	00:49:14
	Could spend it on whatever they wanted. They could spend out of their line.	00:49:17
	And we wouldn't know what it was on.	00:49:21
	And they've identified 2. They've identified, I believe that Bond had a list of identified projects that.	00:49:23
	I don't think we should incorporate these until they bring the projects in front of us.	00:49:29
	That's the way I am.	00:49:33
	Think. Think about it.	00:49:35
	Did we miss advertising the other 2 million?	00:49:37
	OK, OK.	00:49:43
	OK, so we can either.	00:49:48
	You can appropriate or not appropriate. We can appropriate it. We can table.	00:49:50
	And do them both at the same time.	00:49:55
	Or just.	00:49:58
	What are we going to spend our 2,000,000 on? Do we now?	00:49:59
	IT and.	00:50:03
	Sheriff's vehicles.	00:50:04
	OK. And the Sheriff's vehicles for this year are?	00:50:07
	See that's what I would like to see in there share vehicles. So you want a specific.	00:50:12
	Absolutely, for whatever projects we're spending it on so it can be tracked in the IT project. Well, if the council would like to	00:50:17
	get a list of.	00:50:22
	Appropriations to us, we would be happy to advertise those.	00:50:28
	Am I wrong? I mean if I'm, if I'm, if I am.	00:50:35
	The week we've talked about this.	00:50:39
	For meeting after meeting about what the.	00:50:41
	Projects are staying even identified just a.	00:50:43
	But they need to be tracked.	00:50:46
	And in a specific line items.	00:50:48
	We were just tracking departmental specific, but if you would like to.	00:50:51
	Have multiple lines within that fund under your department. I'm happy to create them.	00:50:56
	I would. That's just me.	00:51:01
	No, I think that's totally rational.	00:51:04
	If you need, I'll be glad to bring the projects once the Commission is identifying by project by dollar amount.	00:51:07
	If you rather than create all lies unless you want the lines, no, I'd rather have she wants the lines.	00:51:13
	OK, because you can track them just by looking at a report.	00:51:19
	Yeah, they're they're in.	00:51:22
	All about everything, yeah.	00:51:24
	They do break it down independently. Inside law, we can do a transaction report for a specific line and it shows every single	00:51:26
	vendor that was paid and how much they were paid from that line.	00:51:29
	So. But if you would like specific expense lines created for every single project that comes out of that fund, I am happy to do	00:51:34
	so.	00:51:37
	That's me. That's what I would like.	00:51:40
	We can take that up.	00:51:43
	Anytime.	00:51:45
	Yeah. So motion to.	00:51:46
	Table.	00:51:50
	Do you want a table or disapprove?	00:51:52
	Because if we table it, we're going to bring it back up in February exactly how it is.	00:51:53
	Oh, I just wanted, I wanted to. You want it gone, right? Yeah.	00:51:57
	OK.	00:52:01
	Yep, table. I mean motion to.	00:52:02
	Remote 4C.	00:52:06
	I'll second that. All right, I have a motion and a second to remove item 4C from the agenda. Any further discussion?	00:52:08
	This will likely come back as a.	00:52:15
	AS 0068 and 0061.	00:52:17
	At the next iteration.	00:52:20
	With multiple lines. With multiple lines.	00:52:22
	Any discussion?	00:52:25
	On removal.	00:52:27
	Well, when we talk about spending this and you talk about lines, is that going to give the?	00:52:28
	I mean, what's the difference of?	00:52:32
	When they come before us and we know how much we're going to take out of that.	00:52:34
	Then putting lines in it now and given the opportunity maybe.	00:52:38
	That we don't agree.	00:52:43
	What they're asking for.	00:52:45
	As far as office holders or talking about sheriff cars here, I mean, that's going to fluctuate because I don't know how many cars	00:52:46
	he needs.	00:52:49
	I don't know what he intends to They know how many cars they're gonna want to buy for this year.	00:52:53
	For 2026, I mean they want to buy, but I don't know. I mean we're going to that's a discussion we should have when we appropriate	00:52:57
	the money we're going to appropriate.	00:53:02
	Oh no, that's exactly the same. We're saying exactly the same thing, I think. So this is where.	00:53:08
	The Council does work and.	00:53:13
	The sheriff's understanding that his portion of this.	00:53:15
	General obligation bond is for.	00:53:18
	Vehicles for the next three years, is what he identified.	00:53:20
	Do you mind if I explain my reasoning behind just the two primary lines? Sure, sure.	00:53:23
	No, it is much easier to track how much of your $2,000,000 you have spent.	00:53:27
	If it's all coming out of one line than it is to track how many much of your $200 million you've spent than it is if it is out of	00:53:34
	multiple.	00:53:38
	Lines because at the end of the year, if there's not a contractual obligation.	00:53:42
	For all of the lines that you have appropriated.	00:53:47
	That it all goes back to cash and I get the fun job of figuring out how much of your $2,000,000 is left to spend.	00:53:52
	But but Diana, that's why we have this other thing where the.	00:54:00
	The third set of.	00:54:04
	Numbers can be used.	00:54:07
	To track.	00:54:09
	That our our portion.	00:54:13
	Versus the.	00:54:15
	Like the actual line number.	00:54:16
	Is that true?	00:54:18
	Like a project?	00:54:19
	No the.	00:54:21
	Well, what are the third?	00:54:22
	Set of numbers. That third set is a dead set.	00:54:24
	Those three, those five zeros never change.	00:54:27
	I never heard anything like that. Those five zeros are specific to school corporations, which is where Lao started.	00:54:32
	They never changed their line structure when they moved into county government 25 years ago, and I thought that was a project.	00:54:39
	No ma'am, those 5 numbers never change from 5 zeros. They stay that way forever. OK.	00:54:46
	I still think we need to have.	00:54:51
	Specific.	00:54:54
	Appropriations for specific projects.	00:54:56
	On each year.	00:54:59
	My, that's my that.	00:55:02
	What I think?	00:55:03
	So OK, well the the motion is to remove this item motion and 2nd.	00:55:05
	For tonight's meeting, is there any further discussion on removal?	00:55:09
	All in favor of removing 4C from the agenda say aye.	00:55:14
	Aye, any opposed?	00:55:18
	That is.	00:55:20
	OK. And you do raise your hand?	00:55:22
	Yeah, can we show hands to remove?	00:55:23
	Foresee from the agenda.	00:55:27
	Let's remove it. We'll bring it back.	00:55:31
	As a double.	00:55:33
	Or or with projects. Whatever you all submit to us is what will come back.	00:55:38
	Gosh, so sometime in the next.	00:55:43
	What we have 14 days.	00:55:46
	Prior to the meeting.	00:55:48
	We can add there is a new advertisement scheduled, so sometime in the next two weeks I need a list of what you want to advertise.	00:55:50
	And it needs to come.	00:55:59
	From the County Council president. So the seven of you need to have that discussion.	00:56:00
	However you choose to do that, whether it's you right now or.	00:56:05
	After you complete your agenda prior to.	00:56:09
	Closing or at a joint meeting.	00:56:12
	However you choose to do that, I do have to have a list to advertise.	00:56:14
	Even if it's just.	00:56:20
	Advertising the whole amount getting appropriated in multiple different categories.	00:56:21
	Would you all like to discuss this now?	00:56:27
	I'm in favor.	00:56:32
	Of the 068, the 061.	00:56:33
	Because we know the projects, they're coming out of it.	00:56:38
	That's how I would like to see it broke up.	00:56:41
	I would like to see.	00:56:44
	And I don't know, maybe we can structure it a little different where we could.	00:56:46
	Instead of 0068, we put 0068 and then.	00:56:50
	Two more numbers behind it do that. The programming doesn't allow for it.	00:56:55
	OK, so can only be two numbers.	00:56:58
	At the end of your budget code. Yes ma'am. So, so that you understand what you're looking at there.	00:57:00
	The 4801 designates the fund. I understand 4000, so 40008.	00:57:06
	Is the actual account coding, which in Harris terms would be the line number. Got it.	00:57:12
	The five zeros is called the object and it's just days 5 zeros and then those last four.	00:57:17
	Digits denote the department it belongs to.	00:57:24
	But it can be 4 numbers.	00:57:28
	Not if you wanted to be council or commissioner. No, it can only be two because the Council's DLGF code is 0061 and the	00:57:30
	commissioners is 0068.	00:57:34
	Where OK, So what we would do is do the 0068 out here and we would have different line numbers. So we would have that is a line	00:57:39
	number and so for us we'd have three line numbers.	00:57:44
	We'd have a line number for.	00:57:50
	Sheriff cars and a line #4.	00:57:54
	It is there anything else?	00:57:57
	So just for point of clarification, are we going to?	00:57:59
	Are we going to appropriate?	00:58:02
	The full amount dedicated to both of those.	00:58:05
	At the beginning of this year.	00:58:09
	Only what we expect to spend.	00:58:11
	For this year.	00:58:13
	Which is not the full $2,000,000.	00:58:14
	If you all make sure that you get it to us not more than 14 days.	00:58:19
	I don't see the problem the way he said. Because we're not going to spend $2,000,000, we're going to appropriate 2 million and	00:58:27
	we're not going to spend 2 million.	00:58:31
	We're appropriating it into a fund, not appropriating it to spend.	00:58:35
	It isn't an expense line, but it only gets spent if you tell me to spend it and then I am happy to provide a transaction.	00:58:40
	Comprehension is just like a budget.	00:58:43
	So we're going to budget monies.	00:58:48
	For this year.	00:58:50
	In a line item.	00:58:53
	That we're not going to spend.	00:58:54
	Are we going to move this money to the IT?	00:58:57
	Fund before they spend it, are they going to spend it out of this fund? They're going to spend it from this fund.	00:59:00
	No one. It can't be moved from this fund into another fund. It has to expense directly from this fund.	00:59:06
	And a transaction report using.	00:59:12
	480140080000000061.	00:59:15
	Will show you exactly what gets spent out of that line and where it went and how much. The County Council.	00:59:22
	With the County Council.	00:59:29
	I don't.	00:59:31
	Process anything from these departments without it being approved by the actual issuer. Hold it now we do not have does not have	00:59:31
	to come back in front of us again.	00:59:37
	To be approved before they spend this money.	00:59:42
	Because it's already been appropriate. I'm not going to let the sheriff spend out of this line without the county council's	00:59:46
	approval because of the county council's.	00:59:49
	Department. The sheriff. It's not the Sheriff's Department. No you.	00:59:53
	You could, I can't. We've appropriated. That would be like me spending.	00:59:57
	The sheriff's budget. Am I allowed to?	01:00:02
	Can I just send the sheriff's budget? Yeah.	01:00:04
	Because he's a bigger venue than I do. Appropriated the money to the council's budget to the council.	01:00:06
	That's what those last four numbers denote.	01:00:13
	It will come in and say.	01:00:16
	We've started.	01:00:17
	They're going to come to the council and say.	01:00:19
	And then we'll set up it.	01:00:23
	Then you tell me. Hey, Diana.	01:00:25
	Our key is allowed to spend this much money.	01:00:28
	From the line that we've appropriated of our Go bond.	01:00:30
	I'm not allowed to spend it for any other department without your all's permission because it's.	01:00:33
	Coded 0061.	01:00:38
	OK, that'd be like me paying Christy Fox out of Steve Langdon's line.	01:00:40
	Don't do that.	01:00:44
	It's council, it's council, it's council budget.	01:00:46
	I can't spend anything for any other department out of council's budget without council's.	01:00:50
	Approval.	01:00:54
	I can't do that.	01:00:56
	And I'm not going to let it happen. People don't get to submit things.	01:00:58
	When I tell you that Rhoda Eubank is.	01:01:01
	Flipping amazing when it comes to my AP department. It's insane.	01:01:04
	If something came across her desk.	01:01:09
	From a fund that she's never seen before.	01:01:11
	And it happens.	01:01:13
	She brings it straight to my desk and says what is this and who's allowed to use it?	01:01:14
	OK, she has a list of things that if it gets submitted under any of those codes.	01:01:19
	She doesn't touch it until I've seen it.	01:01:24
	And she does an excellent job.	01:01:28
	I don't know if you guys have ever met Rhoda, but the woman is on top of everything that crosses that desk. We'll never have to	01:01:29
	worry about a Clarks County situation. Ever.	01:01:33
	She catches everything. To be clear, this.	01:01:38
	2,000,000 for us.	01:01:40
	To maintain for the Commission.	01:01:42
	Ma'am, you know that.	01:01:44
	But for.	01:01:45
	It's specific to the projects that you're saying though.	01:01:46
	That money is already.	01:01:50
	Those bombs have already been.	01:01:51
	So we have this.	01:01:53
	Somewhere it's already in the fund. It is not appropriated.	01:01:58
	It's in that bond, Yeah, it was receded in that fund.	01:02:02
	Before Christmas.	01:02:05
	Before Christmas.	01:02:06
	It's there. It lives there.	01:02:08
	We need to.	01:02:12
	Devita at our next meeting between.	01:02:13
	Commissioners and Council, as we agreed to in an ordinance.	01:02:17
	OK, OK. And I give you my word, nothing is going to get spent out of your line without you saying it should be sent out of your	01:02:22
	line.	01:02:26
	Because.	01:02:30
	I don't want that headache.	01:02:31
	I don't want seven people going. Diana, why did you do that?	01:02:33
	We didn't say that was OK.	01:02:36
	I already get that enough from everybody else.	01:02:39
	OK, OK, everybody. So tabled.	01:02:42
	Well removed. We're going to re advertise.	01:02:45
	And bring it forth in February.	01:02:49
	0068 and 0068, No 061.	01:02:50
	Got it. Thank you.	01:02:54
	D&E go together.	01:02:55
	This what this is basically the.	01:02:57
	Fruition of the agreement with the prosecutor that they would cover $10,000.	01:03:00
	Of a portion of their salary out of their diversion funds. So this unappropriates.	01:03:05

	All right, we're on to public comment, Mr. Isaacs.	01:05:26
	I'm sorry you had to sit through that. I didn't.	01:05:30
	I'll stagger up here.	01:05:34
	I saw him smiling for nothing immediately.	01:05:36
	I know I'm only allowed a certain amount of time, but I want to make clear I don't want to waste your time by reading you this	01:05:39
	thing.	01:05:42
	It has been suggested that you are not going to have another vote.	01:05:46
	On the situation.	01:05:51
	Solid waste district.	01:05:52
	I thought you had to have a first.	01:05:54
	Vote in a second vote.	01:05:56
	They had to be 180 days apart.	01:05:57
	And commissioners have already done that.	01:06:00
	But you guys have a say in this at all?	01:06:05
	I don't think so at this point.	01:06:11
	Serve on that board. I think Commissioner started it we.	01:06:13
	Basically rubber stamp what they said and then.	01:06:16
	It's their final decision.	01:06:19
	At being the body.	01:06:21
	So since they voted.	01:06:24
	Yes, in their second vote.	01:06:26
	It's done.	01:06:29
	I don't recall they voted yes. They haven't done their second law.	01:06:30
	They didn't have a second no yet.	01:06:34
	Yeah, I think there's still a couple weeks left on that. I think it's the first.	01:06:38
	February meeting.	01:06:41
	I thought there's. I thought there was before yours.	01:06:43
	OK, well they had a meeting last night, but it wasn't on their agenda.	01:06:47
	They did not vote on that last night.	01:06:50
	And just for a matter of point.	01:06:51
	Too there is, was it 400,000 in the budget?	01:06:53
	For solid waste.	01:06:56
	I think it's 2:40, but.	01:06:59
	No 420 is it 4? It's 4 something.	01:07:00
	That's in the budget so that that would.	01:07:04
	Indicate that it's going to continue at least.	01:07:07
	This year.	01:07:09
	We appropriated that in case it did continue.	01:07:11
	OK on on whatever level.	01:07:14
	Whether it's.	01:07:18
	The same as it is now or it's.	01:07:19
	Change somehow.	01:07:22
	We did approve that in our budget.	01:07:23
	I've timed this. I can do this in 2 minutes.	01:07:26
	You go right ahead.	01:07:29
	OK.	01:07:30
	Having having suffered through the 1st, we've got 2 minutes for you. You go right.	01:07:32
	We'll indulge, yes, OK.	01:07:39
	Well, today will be 183 days for the meeting in which the Council first voted.	01:07:43
	To dissolve the.	01:07:48
	Solid waste district.	01:07:49
	Since that meeting, there's been discussion of the solving the district.	01:07:50
	Gradually.	01:07:54
	I think this means that services would be gradually reduced.	01:07:55
	Either because a commercial event sure has assumed them.	01:07:58
	Because it's felt that they're no longer needed.	01:08:02
	Statements have been made that the important thought is not that recycling should be done away with.	01:08:05
	But rather, it should not be a governor punk.	01:08:10
	Government bill function.	01:08:13
	Or should be paid for by residents.	01:08:15
	In November there was a discussion about recycling.	01:08:18
	Being brought back into government.	01:08:21
	However, there seems to be no motion.	01:08:23
	Towards setting up a structure in the county government for that.	01:08:26
	Is the plan to just let?	01:08:30
	The District.	01:08:32
	To keep it functioning as we strip away the flesh or leave the bare bones.	01:08:34
	If that is the plan, do we really believe the current loyal employees will be willing to spend the rest?	01:08:39
	Of the summer doing.	01:08:45
	The quality job they have done, knowing that they will be removed at some point.	01:08:48
	If we're going to adopt recycling into the government.	01:08:52
	A plan needs to be in the works before we dissolve the district.	01:08:56
	Either way, we should set a date for the district to cease functioning.	01:08:59
	At the meeting in July, the voting was done.	01:09:03
	By voice board, we're not talking about your vote.	01:09:06
	I believe that is the correct term.	01:09:10
	A request was then made to have an individual council member.	01:09:12
	Hold that was quickly dismissed.	01:09:15
	I believe we should be able to see.	01:09:19
	Which council members voted which way?	01:09:21
	That's it.	01:09:25
	Now you're telling me you're not going to have another boat anyway?	01:09:26
	I'm not certain a second vote is required by us.	01:09:32
	And I saw your, I saw your letter in the paper today. I'm glad that you're here.	01:09:36
	We the had a void as a joint.	01:09:44
	Y'all voted as a joint meeting.	01:09:48
	Everybody voted.	01:09:51
	I thought I don't know if my problem was at a joint meeting.	01:09:52
	Maybe not.	01:09:55
	But you did have a vote. We did have a vote.	01:09:56
	Yes. And I thought you had to have two votes. You had to have 180 days in between.	01:09:59
	Commissioner, the Commissioners, Commissioners have to have a second vote.	01:10:04
	I don't believe we do. It's their solid waste district.	01:10:08
	Yeah, we we found what? What? No, there's.	01:10:11
	We're not talking about the commissioners of it. You're saying the regular commissioners.	01:10:14
	The three commissioners and Board of Commissioners waste.	01:10:19
	Are in control of.	01:10:22
	Of that, that is an executive function, that is.	01:10:24
	That is their decision to.	01:10:28
	Keep it, dissolve it, do what they want to with it. We provide funding, which we did.	01:10:31
	So why did you all have a first vote? Because that was required states. That was required by state statute, but only a.	01:10:36
	Only first.	01:10:42
	Thank you.	01:10:44
	Never mind.	01:10:46
	You're fine. It, it, it, it gets confusing to us sometimes as well. We were uncertain why we even had to have a first vote, but it	01:10:48
	is state statute, so.	01:10:52
	Well, I believe there's a lot of us.	01:10:56
	Floating around thinking that this is still up in the air.	01:10:58
	When apparently it's not.	01:11:02
	No, it is. No, it is still up in there.	01:11:04
	You're safe because commissioners have not had a second vote, so I need to take this.	01:11:09
	To the next Commissioner.	01:11:14
	If that could be to join.	01:11:15
	It will be at their, at their meeting, at their, at their next.	01:11:18
	OK. I believe their next one or two.	01:11:23
	Commissioners meeting is on the 20th.	01:11:26
	OK.	01:11:28
	Our talent meeting movie before there, Our joint meeting is on the 16th. Yeah, but I don't know that runs out the clock or not.	01:11:30
	It's at 10 AM.	01:11:33
	Here on the 16th.	01:11:37
	And you're welcome to present to both boards again.	01:11:39
	Well, while we're at it.	01:11:42
	The 20th would also be the next day that we would have a solid waste baby.	01:11:45
	Typically.	01:11:50
	So it's not dead yet, right?	01:11:52
	Not officially.	01:11:56
	Well, actually, to be clear.	01:11:57
	The vote for the commissioners and this body was to dissolve that board, the solid waste board. Never. It was never.	01:11:59
	Implied in my mind.	01:12:07
	That's recycling would go away. That board was going to.	01:12:09
	The district. The district was the board, that solid waste board.	01:12:13
	Was going to go away.	01:12:18
	And that those duties would fall into.	01:12:20
	Yes.	01:12:25
	Which specifically the commissioners, we, we don't get that message. That's not the message the public.	01:12:26
	The city, the public, gets the message.	01:12:31
	When the solid waste district goes away.	01:12:33
	Nobody is yet.	01:12:36
	Go pick up a.	01:12:38
	The ball and start running with it.	01:12:40
	I I don't disagree that that might be the perception.	01:12:43
	That's OK, yeah.	01:12:47
	Don't disagree with you at all That that that.	01:12:50
	Maybe the perception because I've.	01:12:52
	I feel another letter coming. Fielded phone call.	01:12:54
	Yeah, when I saw your letter today specifically addressing the Council, I was like.	01:12:56
	You know, kind of like, you know, not our baby, so to speak. We just.	01:13:02
	Pay for the formula in diapers.	01:13:06
	I would check with. I checked with Daniel whether he had a problem with the.	01:13:08
	Taking something he had published and reading it to you.	01:13:12
	But I started it right.	01:13:15
	OK. Thank you. I appreciate you coming.	01:13:19
	The way you will have handled the.	01:13:22
	The situation up here, I know what was not easy.	01:13:24
	Appreciate you coming.	01:13:27
	Thank you.	01:13:29
	All right, any comments or anything from?	01:13:31
	Mr. President, if I could just just one minute, I was contacted by the Board of Blessings in a backpack about a.	01:13:34
	Packaging event.	01:13:42
	And as some of us have done in the past, have participated and just wanted to see if there was any interest, they do have a spot	01:13:43
	for us.	01:13:48
	That members of the County Council would like to go and.	01:13:53
	January the 22nd.	01:13:56
	At Greenville Elementary School.	01:14:00
	And what that would consist of would just be.	01:14:03
	Packing the sleeves of food.	01:14:06
	So the kids there at that school could have them.	01:14:08
	3:00.	01:14:12
	And didn't know if there was any interest.	01:14:14
	Or it's about an hour.	01:14:17
	You say Green Valley.	01:14:20
	Greenville.	01:14:21
	Greenville, Mm-hmm.	01:14:22
	Last time it was Green Valley. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's the last time we did it.	01:14:25
	What time did you say again, 3:00?	01:14:30
	For about an hour.	01:14:35
	Yeah. If there, if there's interest, I can go ahead and let them know tomorrow that we'll take it just.	01:14:37
	Probably 3 or 4, yeah.	01:14:44
	I think last time we had to be interested. OK, great.	01:14:47
	I am.	01:14:50
	I can try to make that one OK.	01:14:51
	All right.	01:14:53
	Thank you.	01:14:54
	Yeah, and maybe send out an e-mail reminder.	01:14:55
	Sure, if you if you could, that would jar the memory.	01:14:58
	That would be fantastic. Calendar invite or something that would be.	01:15:02
	OK, even better.	01:15:08
	Thank you any any further comments from.	01:15:11
	Council move to adjourn Second.	01:15:13
	Aldo aye.	01:15:17

	Something.	00:00:00
	All right, we will now call to order.	00:00:05
	The Floyd County Council regular meeting for January 7th, 2026. Please stand for the Pledge of Allegiance.	00:00:07
	Pledge allegiance to the flag.	00:00:15
	Of the United States of America.	00:00:17
	To the Republic for which it stands.	00:00:20
	One nation under God.	00:00:22
	Indivisible.	00:00:24
	With liberty and justice are all.	00:00:25
	Let the record show that we've got a full quorum.	00:00:30
	Tonight, Mr. Bagshaw, would you?	00:00:34
	Christmas with a prayer, please. All right, let's pray.	00:00:38
	Oh, Heavenly Father.	00:00:40
	We thank you today for another day that we can.	00:00:42
	Breathe your air and walk on your earth.	00:00:44
	Or we thank you that we live in a free society, that we can have open meetings without fear of retribution.	00:00:46
	Or be with us this year, this coming year, 2026.	00:00:52
	Always extend your.	00:00:55
	Your guidance and your wisdom in part.	00:00:57
	Unto us that we can make.	00:01:00
	Prudent decisions for the community and for in the best interest of the community.	00:01:01
	Or be with each one. Lord, be with our sailors.	00:01:06
	Our Airmen, sailors, airmen, Marines today, keep them safe as they defend freedom around the world. Please keep our first	00:01:09
	responders safe today.	00:01:12
	As they keep us safe and I pray for the peace of Jerusalem in your name, Amen.	00:01:16
	All right, the acceptance of tonight's agenda.	00:01:22
	So moved.	00:01:26
	2nd I have a motion and a second for the agenda. Any discussion before we get started?	00:01:28
	All in favor say aye. Any opposed?	00:01:33
	That carries.	00:01:37
	We're going to open a public hearing for.	00:01:40
	The adoption of the *** cap development.	00:01:42
	Levy and tax rate.	00:01:46
	This is the Commission.	00:01:51
	Nurse Cap.	00:01:52
	It's a requirement from the DLGF.	00:01:58
	This was a.	00:02:00
	How do you want to explain it, Diana? I'd be happy to.	00:02:02
	So the way that the DLGS website gateway works is once we put in the advertised rates for taxing, those are supposed to all auto	00:02:07
	populate onto our form B.	00:02:11
	4B and form fours which are the.	00:02:16
	Forms that we utilize to adopt our budgets through their system and filing.	00:02:19
	On the 29th of December, I received our first 1782 notice for the county.	00:02:25
	And while reviewing all of the approved budgets, specifically for our levy rate budgets, I encountered an adjustment that I was	00:02:31
	not expecting, which was an adjustment.	00:02:35
	To the CCD budget as published.	00:02:40
	And it cut it in nearly in half.	00:02:42
	Which was my massive red flag because I knew that the income for that fund.	00:02:46
	Was not.	00:02:51
	Nearly that small.	00:02:52
	Considering what it's being utilized for. So I immediately went to Gateway to see what had occurred.	00:02:54
	Was able to research that it was in fact on our form 3. We did in fact advertise it. There was a glitch inside the system where it	00:03:01
	didn't translate to the 4B or form 4.	00:03:05
	So the 1782 notice hit my inbox at 7:00 AM. By 8:15, I had reached out to both the DLGF and Baker Tilly.	00:03:10
	To find a resolution to the issue.	00:03:17
	They reached back out to me and according to IC6-1 point 1-17-16 subsection I, there is an exception where a rate has been	00:03:20
	advertised, but for some reason there was a glitch in their nifty little system that.	00:03:27
	Failed to populate it on our adoption paperwork.	00:03:35
	So it does lessen our income of that fund.	00:03:39
	By equal or lesser to 5% of the levy increase or $100,000. And since the 5% of the levy increase is actually 84805, that is the	00:03:44
	penalty that will be receiving on income for that fund. But what it does by readopting this rate that was in fact advertised and	00:03:50
	should have been on the official adoption paperwork.	00:03:56
	It supports the budget that the County Council adopted for that fund.	00:04:02
	Allowing us to meet.	00:04:07
	Our actual obligations with that fund so.	00:04:09
	The DLGF requires that a public hearing take place.	00:04:12
	To allow the public to comment on this rate adoption that should have occurred back in October.	00:04:16
	And then once the public hearing is closed.	00:04:22
	The next item of business is to just vote to re adopt the rate that had actually been intended to be on those adoption paperworks.	00:04:26
	So this rate was presented to the council and.	00:04:31
	Processed through all of the budget season last year and was just missing off of the final documentation and that was a glitch due	00:04:38
	to the DLGF website.	00:04:42
	And this is the full right?	00:04:48
	Correct.	00:04:49
	All right. Is there any discussion among?	00:04:52
	Counsel.	00:04:54
	Is there any the pub?	00:04:57
	I was going to say the public hearing on this.	00:04:59
	All right, seeing none, we will.	00:05:03
	Adjourn the public hearing.	00:05:05
	What about the A? What about the adoption rate for?	00:05:07
	The levy.	00:05:13
	That that was OK.	00:05:16
	Right. It was just that that's what we're taking up right now you guys are about to vote on That was the one that was wrong.	00:05:19
	That's the levy rate for the CD.	00:05:23
	So it was correct on our ad.	00:05:29
	It was correct through all of our budget season when we printed our final form for for everyone to sign, it had glitched inside	00:05:32
	gateway and not.	00:05:36
	Copied over into the adoption column. Seems like there's two rates here, one for the CD and one for our.	00:05:40
	Levy, the CCD is part of your levy. It's, it's inside the levy, inside the levy that's inside the point. This is how, this is how	00:05:47
	the DLGF. So this doesn't change any of our budget numbers or anything. That's just actually fixes what we submitted. I did not	00:05:54
	understand that. My apologies if I didn't explain it well enough, right.	00:06:01
	Inside it's inside it.	00:06:07
	Rolled up, right. So what was our rate last year?	00:06:10
	Do you know that half of this?	00:06:13
	So 167.	00:06:14
	Is that right? No, I know that for the for the CCD, right. I know. But for the total levy, right.	00:06:16
	I don't have that information in front of me, but I'd be happy to.	00:06:22
	I would look it up for you. I don't have that off the top of my head today. I apologize.	00:06:25
	OK, it's fine.	00:06:29
	All right, any other discussion?	00:06:31
	We will now adjourn the public hearing.	00:06:35
	I am one of.	00:06:38
	New businesses re adoption of the Floyd County tax levy and tax rate.	00:06:39
	Specific to the CCD.	00:06:43
	Specific to the QMC CAPS Development Fund.	00:06:45
	Is there a motion for a new business #1?	00:06:49
	I'll make a motion to approve.	00:06:54
	New business #1.	00:06:56
	2nd.	00:06:57
	All right, we have a motion in a second.	00:06:58
	Any discussion before we vote?	00:07:00
	Yeah, I'd just say I didn't feel there was enough justification for doubling that rate, so.	00:07:03
	I'm opposed to it.	00:07:07
	Any other discussion?	00:07:11
	All in favor say aye.	00:07:13
	Any opposed?	00:07:16
	Aye, that carries.	00:07:16
	All right. We will now open a public hearing for our additional appropriations for tonight.	00:07:23
	Is there any public comment on?	00:07:28
	What we're going to do in this meeting for additional appropriations.	00:07:31
	Seeing none, we will adjourn the poll.	00:07:36
	Now move to approval of minutes for our December 9th, 2025 meeting.	00:07:39
	So moved second.	00:07:44
	There's a motion second for approval of minutes. Any discussion?	00:07:47
	All in favor say aye.	00:07:51
	Aye, any opposed?	00:07:53
	That carries.	00:07:55
	Item number 2.	00:07:56
	Mr. Stanhope.	00:07:58
	Thank you and welcome to 2026.	00:08:05
	I'd like to start out by saying a couple of things about the number of items that I have here with regards to just having come out	00:08:10
	of the budget process.	00:08:14
	As you know, I was fairly new to the position we were taking over the funds we had a lot of.	00:08:19
	I had a lot of growing pains during the process. I met with Danny and Jim. We went through the budgets.	00:08:25
	Thought that they were fairly straightforward at the time.	00:08:31
	But in the air of trying to make everything much more transparent, we were consolidating what was at the time.	00:08:35
	Department lies.	00:08:43
	Departmentalization in within the funds.	00:08:45
	It led to convoluted ability to clearly see the financial picture on a lot of these funds.	00:08:49
	So, umm.	00:08:55
	With that and was saying that.	00:08:56
	We tried to bring all of that into light. I was also creating what I felt was a.	00:08:58
	Pathway for success with the all of other bonds that the county.	00:09:03
	Currently holds all the debt.	00:09:08
	Obligations that we hold.	00:09:11
	And identifying where they were located, where they were being paid from.	00:09:13
	I hope that wasn't me in in.	00:09:17
	Bringing all that together.	00:09:22
	Now what was asked of us was to put the budget together.	00:09:23
	While all this was in a moving part process.	00:09:27
	We're also dealing with the Teamsters Union.	00:09:31
	Well, and what the outcome of that was going to be we.	00:09:33
	Kind of knew, but we didn't have it in writing so we couldn't technically budget for that.	00:09:38
	So in saying a couple of these things, what I'd like to ask is that.	00:09:43
	You understand the reasoning for having so many items on the agenda this evening.	00:09:48
	Oh, and one last thing I would like to just share with you is that.	00:09:54
	You know, I'm pretty good at 4:00. I like to think I'm pretty good at forecasting. I try to do the best I can. I was building.	00:09:58
	Forecast on data that I wasn't 100% assured of.	00:10:03
	And, umm.	00:10:09
	As I moved into this position step by step after the budget adoption.	00:10:10
	There were some identified gaps.	00:10:15
	And my promise and commitment to you, the Council, was that I wouldn't be here every evening with a through Double Z asking for	00:10:18
	additional or.	00:10:22
	Adjustments to current budgets. I'm trying to get these squared away.	00:10:27
	Here night one, there still may be a few blips throughout the year.	00:10:31
	I'd like to say that I.	00:10:36
	There wouldn't be but, but we never know what challenges are going to lie ahead of us.	00:10:38
	So with that being said.	00:10:43
	I'd be glad to We could start going through each of these independently and and I'll answer any.	00:10:46
	Concerns or questions that you might have.	00:10:51
	OK. Thank you.	00:10:53
	1A I guess our 2A is this is actually just the 2026 gold bind.	00:10:56
	These are the services that have been provided by all of the administrative functions currently.	00:11:02
	Pending the The fund is 4801.	00:11:09
	Or not. I'm not sure what you're going to do, as council and commissioners are going to do with the balance of the funds.	00:11:12
	But we do have obligation, financial obligations that need.	00:11:17
	Excuse me, need to be paid.	00:11:20
	So the professional services are maker Tilly.	00:11:22
	I think. Let's see.	00:11:26
	Orange and Thornburg, I think our own local attorney, the Fox Law Offices. So it's all wrapped up in.	00:11:28
	In a lot of these professional services, requests for.	00:11:34
	For this first item that go bomb.	00:11:37
	Do you want to do these independently or all together? Or let's do.	00:11:41
	If we can, let's do A&B together, yeah.	00:11:45
	The 2nd 2B is the Bridgend.	00:11:49
	These also we know that.	00:11:52
	In my learning experience and in conversation with law. Fox Law Offices.	00:11:55
	They've also educated me a little bit more about I don't have to wait until.	00:12:00
	The money is in the fund, the appropriations are set and we can go ahead and try to square this away.	00:12:04
	With Council knowing what our obligations are going to be based on the outcome of the.	00:12:09
	Are the implementation of the receipt of the monies themselves so?	00:12:14
	At the December meeting, I think the bridge bond.	00:12:20
	Fund was created.	00:12:22
	I don't think there were any appropriations at that point set. So what I'm asking is that we can make sure and set appropriations	00:12:25
	for.	00:12:28
	The professional services.	00:12:31
	And then just setting the.	00:12:33
	The Bridge Project fund.	00:12:35
	Lying in place so that as we get the expenses.	00:12:38
	Associated.	00:12:42
	From uh.	00:12:43
	These projects.	00:12:44
	We're ready to move forward with paying our vendors timely.	00:12:45
	So I have a couple questions on on 2B.	00:12:50
	The four million that you've got in the bid?	00:12:54
	Bridge project is that our portion of the this that that doesn't include the Q.	00:12:57
	Not the Kim Cap, the.	00:13:04
	The grant part of it.	00:13:07
	Of the reimbursement points.	00:13:09
	No, this is our obligation.	00:13:10
	This is what the bridge, the bridge bond is going to generate.	00:13:13
	To $4.2 million.	00:13:16
	So.	00:13:19
	Our obligation for Bridge 51 is 1.6.	00:13:20
	I think $1.67 million.	00:13:23
	This does not include the $8 million federal funding.	00:13:26
	Yes ma'am. This also includes Bridge 27 as well. Those were the 2 bridge projects that were identified in the request for the	00:13:33
	bridge bond.	00:13:36
	I have one more question the.	00:13:44
	The GO bond, the fund balance says 4,000,001 Eighty 749430.	00:13:46
	Is that the total bond that?	00:13:52
	And we?	00:13:55
	If I remember right, that was split.	00:13:56
	Half and half between.	00:13:58
	I believe that was the initial discussions. I don't know if there's been anything solid.	00:14:01
	So there was an ordinance that was passed. It wasn't OK.	00:14:05
	Yeah, and it split half and half, right?	00:14:09
	So.	00:14:13
	Are there going to be two lines in that fund?	00:14:14
	You should actually. I believe they're further on in the agenda underneath.	00:14:18
	Oh, OK, we'll get there then.	00:14:21
	OK. Thank you.	00:14:23
	Is there a motion for 2A and B?	00:14:26
	Move to approve as advertised.	00:14:31
	What's happening? We have a motion and a second for 2A and B any further?	00:14:34
	Questions or discussion now the professional services that for engineering and.	00:14:39
	Yes, yes.	00:14:43
	Legal and engineering.	00:14:45
	And and you just want to.	00:14:47
	Bill pay the bills when they come due, yes.	00:14:49
	At the end of the bridge project that may wind up being 157 or 167. You at this point you don't really know. Yes, Sir.	00:14:51
	Any further discussion?	00:15:01
	All in favor of 2A and B say aye.	00:15:04
	Aye, any opposed?	00:15:06
	That was scary.	00:15:08
	2C is the MVH restricted fund so.	00:15:10
	One of the things that.	00:15:15
	In discussion with the Commissioners and operations as we wanted to take all of the salaries out of 1173, move them into 1176, the	00:15:17
	unrestricted portion.	00:15:22
	Were eligible to pay the bond out of 1173 because of the.	00:15:27
	Link of the bond itself.	00:15:32
	To the project.	00:15:33
	Umbrella of allowable expenses so.	00:15:35
	We're asking to allocate the bond payments, which I didn't know prior to the budget process.	00:15:38
	Contractual services.	00:15:44
	In paving, I've left it just a little bit short because.	00:15:46
	There were still some salaries linked to the 1173 fund initially when I did the budget, but as we grew and we decided we wanted to	00:15:51
	move those out of the restricted fund into just a regular.	00:15:56
	MVH Fund.	00:16:02
	It allowed us to push that paving up to $1,000,000.	00:16:03
	That also, since we didn't have the wheel tax, gives us our million dollar Match for Community Crossings grant.	00:16:08
	That we can now. We now know that we have that committed.	00:16:14
	So we will also be eligible for the full amount of the Community Crossings grant as well.	00:16:18
	How much is the community concentrance?	00:16:23
	It, I think last time I talked to Nick, it was, it was just at $1,000,000 as well. It's like 900 and.	00:16:25
	Some other thousand and that's going to be used for roads. That's paving, yes. Paving for roads and bridge paving, Yes ma'am.	00:16:32
	And then the last three projects the.	00:16:42
	Bridge 58 about.	00:16:45
	Baylor, Weissman Road and the Highway 150 break.	00:16:47
	Those are ones that I have presented to you back in November of 25.	00:16:50
	The projects didn't get taken off in time.	00:16:55
	This is also a most. These all three are 8020 matches which we are going to.	00:16:58
	80% or 20% of this can be paid from 1173, the restricted MVH fund, we're going to transfer that money over into the.	00:17:05
	9124 fund to follow the guidelines for grant reimbursements.	00:17:13
	After consulting with the honors office to keep this nice and clean.	00:17:18
	But this is just a reintroduction of these two.	00:17:22
	These two are these three projects.	00:17:25
	Which didn't get off the ground in 2025.	00:17:28
	But will definitely be.	00:17:30
	Underway here in 2026.	00:17:33
	Is there a motion for two?	00:17:38
	Motion for 2C as advertised.	00:17:41
	Second motion and a second for 2C. Any further discussion?	00:17:43
	Diane, how much money is in that fund?	00:17:48
	You don't say usually they say how much is in the front.	00:17:51
	NBA restricted, yes, 600 and they've covered what we're appropriating here. Well, they they just sent down, I think.	00:17:53
	The dollar amount so it would.	00:18:01
	They're off. Diana's office will do is they'll take the.	00:18:02
	I think it's the total is like.	00:18:05
	Yes, split equally between the two. Yeah, because of our.	00:18:09
	The income projected for this fund supports the budget he is currently requesting. OK, OK.	00:18:13
	To be perfectly honest, at this point we wouldn't let them come forward and ask about it. That's not going to be supported by the	00:18:18
	fund because.	00:18:21
	Clean up too many of those the last couple years.	00:18:24
	And I'm not going to spend more money than what I have.	00:18:27
	Any further discussion?	00:18:31
	All in favor of 2C say aye.	00:18:34
	Aye, any opposed?	00:18:36
	That carries.	00:18:38
	On 2D this is the edit fund. Just some adjustments. Again, these are more like.	00:18:39
	Some cleanup things that.	00:18:44
	That maybe I've missed because I also built a complete pay schedule.	00:18:46
	For employee salaries.	00:18:51
	Once we got through.	00:18:54
	All of the salaries lined out.	00:18:55
	It I had seen where I had over appropriated the other employees salaries.	00:18:57
	So want to reduce that down contractual services.	00:19:02
	That line, apparently I missed that line completely, so we wanted to actually get that back in here. Same with utilities.	00:19:06
	I'm not sure why I missed it, but I did and I'm just asking that it gets added back in here.	00:19:13
	And then the redevelopment behind that just brings that up to?	00:19:19
	Let's see, the bond itself is 304,000. I think I've only requested 30,000 at the time again.	00:19:24
	While I was building the bond structure.	00:19:30
	It opened my eyes a lot. To where?	00:19:33
	Where all these bots being paid from?	00:19:35
	And this one actually had some.	00:19:37
	Possibly been designated in the.	00:19:40
	Legal paperwork to be paid from the end of funds so.	00:19:43
	It's now being paid from yet a fund.	00:19:46
	And then the.	00:19:49
	We have that 400.	00:19:50
	$420,000 purchase that we placed an order with the state for.	00:19:52
	The salt line.	00:19:57
	Just trying to fit salt in wherever I can with whatever funding I've got. So that's why I sell it's here.	00:19:59
	And then the last part of the system transfers.	00:20:05
	The transfer to another fund isn't allowed on the edit fund. It was for some election.	00:20:08
	It was just for some election.	00:20:15
	Contractual services.	00:20:18
	And then again the parts behind.	00:20:20
	Just transferred the parks bond down to try to get that back to.	00:20:22
	We're asked to be able to.	00:20:26
	That's the payment for 2026.	00:20:27
	Motion to Approve 2 and E.	00:20:30
	2nd we have a motion and a second for.	00:20:33
	To D&E.	00:20:36
	Any discussion or questions for Stan?	00:20:38
	All in favor say aye.	00:20:43
	Aye, any opposed?	00:20:44
	Both those carried 2F is just I'm sorry, just a question.	00:20:46
	Do we really want to go through each one of these line by line?	00:20:51
	You can always make a motion for all of them if you would like.	00:20:57
	Stan, how far down do you go? Do you go to?	00:21:01
	And every benefit is clean up like what you.	00:21:05
	Already seen at this point.	00:21:10
	And we're on F right now.	00:21:14
	I'll make a motion to approve afterm.	00:21:16
	2nd.	00:21:19
	There's a motion a second.	00:21:20
	For items 2F through M.	00:21:22
	For budget cleanup.	00:21:25
	Any discussion on any of these?	00:21:27
	Agenda items.	00:21:30
	Seeing none, all in favor say aye.	00:21:34
	Aye, any opposed?	00:21:37
	All those car.	00:21:38
	Thank you very much. Just like to make a comment no matter who stands at that podium.	00:21:40
	It's either freezing in this room or it's hot in this room.	00:21:45
	You had Donnie Hair sitting in this office, I mean in this meeting room the other day. Not one person made that comment.	00:21:48
	But if I may say Donnie's doing a spectacular job, management facilities and hopefully our meetings here will be short lived Will.	00:21:55
	We're moving on to bigger and better things in the very near future.	00:22:03
	Or can you give us just a little bit more on there? We're down to Item 33.	00:22:09
	Stainless is still used. They can.	00:22:15
	Yes, Sir. OK, go right here.	00:22:17
	Just to give you a really brief we lost our planner and.	00:22:19
	Gabrielle also has decided to leave, so Nick's had to take on a few additional responsibilities.	00:22:24
	So I'm going to.	00:22:30
	Try and pull my part as well to help Nick.	00:22:32
	Through some of the issues that.	00:22:34
	May arise.	00:22:36
	If I leave any information out or I'm not able to answer your questions, I will certainly gather all of it and have it to you.	00:22:38
	First thing tomorrow morning.	00:22:44
	These two items, and I'm kind of lump them together if I may, because they're somewhat cold.	00:22:47
	Correlated are all payments obligations from the the Revolving Loan Fund.	00:22:52
	Fund, 4938.	00:22:58
	There's 100. Actually there's $164,676 in.	00:23:01
	30-4 cents currently.	00:23:05
	In that fun.	00:23:07
	The fund hasn't been utilized.	00:23:09
	Probably in over a decade.	00:23:11
	So in saying that, the first the FCRLR loan agreement is with Red Wire?	00:23:13
	There is a signed agreement that was handed to Nick and I that stipulated that in the first period of red wire taking occupancy.	00:23:21
	Of their new facility that they would be granted a $312,000.	00:23:30
	Loan A forgivable loan.	00:23:37
	From Floyd County from the.	00:23:39
	The uh.	00:23:42
	Revolving loan fund.	00:23:44
	There are stipulate their economic stipulations attached to that. I could read those to you or I could have them sent out to you.	00:23:46
	For your evaluation if need be.	00:23:53
	This has to be vetted by both the commissioners and the council. It was presented to the commissioners and through last night.	00:23:56
	Just for your information.	00:24:02
	I but.	00:24:04
	Janus has also gone through redevelopment as well. Yes Sir, thank you.	00:24:07
	Yeah, Yeah. Actually redevelopment started in when?	00:24:11
	They approved it, allowed it to go to the commissioners.	00:24:14
	Which I approved it and it just would need a signature from.	00:24:17
	The Council President, with the Council's approval tonight.	00:24:21
	Tim, the second part of this is.	00:24:27
	If Tim Tweet was here from proper pilots.	00:24:30
	They are another organization that has taken Occupancy and Innovation Park.	00:24:34
	They won the award, They won several awards. That's why we still was here to explain to you what that program is all about. But	00:24:39
	it's a very innovative program.	00:24:44
	Which is.	00:24:48
	The epitome of what Innovation Parks.	00:24:50
	Core mission is.	00:24:53
	And that is to encourage new business, innovative new business to take occupancy in.	00:24:55
	Floyd County.	00:25:01
	In saying that.	00:25:02
	Proper pilots have also.	00:25:05
	Been granted the opportunity for a $50,000 loan.	00:25:08
	First payments 25,000.	00:25:12
	Again, this is A and then the second payment in three years.	00:25:14
	Once he meets additional economic requirements.	00:25:17
	And then this is also a forgivable loan.	00:25:22
	But it's to help buy equipment or real property in both of these situations.	00:25:26
	That.	00:25:31
	Currently you're taxed.	00:25:33
	We're not sure what the impacts are going to be moving forward so.	00:25:35
	I think that was the intent of as to why these were given in the form that they were, because we were recouping.	00:25:39
	Portion of this and the taxing portion of.	00:25:45
	Our process anyway.	00:25:48
	So what is the balance in the fund?	00:25:50
	Where these would be paid from? It's A16467634 and how much?	00:25:53
	Are we going to be paying out by the end of this year?	00:26:00
	The end of this year we'll have the just the 25,000 to proper pilots and the 312,500 to.	00:26:03
	Red wire, so it's.	00:26:11
	500.	00:26:15
	But if there's only 167 there, where's the rest of the money come from?	00:26:18
	I have some suggestions, but I.	00:26:25
	Think we can discuss this?	00:26:28
	This was the the 312 five was handed to us obviously from previous.	00:26:31
	Administrations, but.	00:26:37
	In that I don't think the fund even had that money in that at that time.	00:26:39
	Regardless.	00:26:43
	Our obligation is to move forward.	00:26:44
	My suggestion would be.	00:26:46
	Will exhaust the non reviling loan fund.	00:26:48
	But I think it needs to come from an economic development.	00:26:51
	Fund. I've got an economic development line in the edit fund that could carry the balance.	00:26:54
	For the first payment of 100.	00:27:00
	72,800 and.	00:27:02
	$24.00 so.	00:27:04
	So you've already got a line in at it.	00:27:05
	That would cover the remaining balance.	00:27:08
	OK.	00:27:11
	Stan, I understand that the red wire we're contractually obligated, but are we obligated as well?	00:27:12
	On the second one, proper pilots.	00:27:19
	No, I I don't.	00:27:24
	Think that we're under an obligation other than the.	00:27:26
	We're we're, we're the last stop in the obligation. It's gone through redevelopment and it's gone through the commissioners. So	00:27:29
	we're we're the last stop.	00:27:33
	And, and like Stan said, there are.	00:27:38
	Benchmarks to meet.	00:27:41
	Along the way.	00:27:43
	For, for this as far as so when you say forgivable loan, they're going to pay it back, there's going to be an interest is that.	00:27:45
	Or is it totally we're just giving them the money?	00:27:52
	Yeah, so I'm just picking winners and losers.	00:27:54
	How do you just pick two businesses and provide them with money and not these other businesses so it's not a loan?	00:27:57
	To be fair.	00:28:02
	We've opened up.	00:28:04
	The.	00:28:05
	The RFP process for.	00:28:07
	All businesses too.	00:28:09
	To inquire about.	00:28:11
	Proper Pilots has employment and production metrics included in their loan.	00:28:13
	That they're required to meet.	00:28:19
	For it to remain a forgivable loan. Is that accurate? Well, their first installment.	00:28:21
	Has no stipulations their second installment.	00:28:26
	They have to have three full time employees making over $60,000 or they have to have a gross revenue base of $180,000.	00:28:29
	And they have to have their office.	00:28:36
	And the Noble Park.	00:28:38
	Right now they're operating out of.	00:28:40
	It's gotta be a NOLA party. Yes man. Noah Park.	00:28:42
	Right now, because they won the award, they are housed in the whistle stop through the end of 26 I think.	00:28:45
	Right to conduct their business.	00:28:50
	MRI Does Nova Park have its own text? Its district now would not approve so.	00:28:54
	They're not. It's not even going to general fund either.	00:28:58
	They they have a TIF district. Is that what you're talking about? Yeah.	00:29:02
	But it doesn't generate enough money yet.	00:29:09
	To pay these.	00:29:12
	Saying we're pulling money out of the county.	00:29:14
	We're going to, we're going. It's going to have to come out of the edit.	00:29:16
	Because any to be honest with you.	00:29:20
	As I'm looking through the bond payments the the bond for Innovation Park.	00:29:22
	I was hoping to use a portion of the any tip money that may be generated.	00:29:28
	To pay the bond.	00:29:33
	Which would reduce the the need to gather for money from elsewhere.	00:29:35
	I'm going to confess I did not read the agreements word for word, not seeing that they were in there, but.	00:29:38
	Does the agreement specifically say it comes out of the?	00:29:44
	The the fund that you were talking about earlier.	00:29:49
	Revolving revolving loan not revolving loan fund.	00:29:52
	I I have a problem with that.	00:29:55
	I don't.	00:29:57
	Really have a problem incentives incentivizing, but I think the documentation needs to.	00:29:58
	Say what we're going to do, and right now there's not enough money in there to pay even the first payment.	00:30:03
	Out of that fund.	00:30:10
	So I'm not a fan of signing these agreements without it saying exactly where that money is going to come from.	00:30:11
	I'm not saying I won't.	00:30:19
	Sign off on the incentive.	00:30:22
	Incentivizing me.	00:30:24
	I probably will, but the documentation needs to be called.	00:30:26
	Correct, that's where I'm at with this.	00:30:30
	Are you committing to paying it out of that economic Development Fund?	00:30:35
	Are the commissioners need to approve that?	00:30:40
	Part or it needs to say it in the agreement.	00:30:43
	I don't know. Yeah. I was gonna say, is there a deadline for this?	00:30:50
	That I understand what you're saying.	00:30:55
	The red wire part worked contractually obligated.	00:31:00
	So there will be money moved into this.	00:31:02
	Fund agreement.	00:31:05
	For that.	00:31:07
	Now some type of economic development funds.	00:31:08
	We need to know where. I mean, we need to know.	00:31:12
	Yeah, I agree.	00:31:15
	That's going to be up to the commissioners to say.	00:31:17
	Fools from.	00:31:19
	What can we table this until they have discussion on this?	00:31:21
	I don't think I.	00:31:25
	I think either the agreement needs to be.	00:31:28
	Revised.	00:31:32
	Or.	00:31:33
	The money needs to be put in that fund to pay it.	00:31:34
	One or the other.	00:31:36
	Before I would agree to.	00:31:37
	To vote on this, that one or the other there were. Those two things needs to happen.	00:31:40
	With the agreement with red bar is a sign sound degree that that's OK.	00:31:44
	Kind of taken that off of the table, OK.	00:31:48
	The proper pilots we can pay from this fund.	00:31:51
	Right. And then, then the balance of that money's then we could find a, an additional economic Development Fund or funding source.	00:31:53
	To pay for the red.	00:32:02
	And I think so. They're saying we really don't need to vote on a.	00:32:05
	No, I think, I think we need to vote.	00:32:09
	I think a is a sort of.	00:32:11
	We have to vote on it. I mean, I think that's improper pilots is a.	00:32:12
	It's a program. Maybe they're dependent upon this. I I haven't talked a lot with Tim.	00:32:17
	I think they presented the redevelopment they did, but.	00:32:22
	That I did, yeah. And I want to support the business. I'm just saying we need to make sure we have the money. I think your	00:32:25
	conversation, if I may, is, is.	00:32:29
	That that's a conversation for.	00:32:33
	Why would we ever get into an agreement when we don't have it in in place?	00:32:35
	I think if we evaluate these in reverse order here, we look at proper pilots first.	00:32:39
	They we know that we can manage that.	00:32:45
	If we took took the red wire.	00:32:47
	We can't.	00:32:49
	Man, it's either one of.	00:32:51
	We can manage proper pilots from the number of revolving loan fund.	00:32:52
	Move forward with that program.	00:32:56
	Because it's a very innovative program.	00:32:58
	Positive for what innovation Partner Park stands for.	00:33:00
	Red wire is a contract that.	00:33:04
	We just cannot enter into.	00:33:06
	Moving forward.	00:33:09
	Without having vetted all the funding. So when is that?	00:33:10
	Payment due to red wire.	00:33:14
	I've got the claim ready to go. It's it's.	00:33:18
	Have they taken? Have they taken occupancy?	00:33:20
	Yes. Umm.	00:33:22
	I don't know.	00:33:23
	They officially well.	00:33:25
	I think they're in there. The grand opening is probably several weeks away and I think they still have a couple of experiments	00:33:27
	they're still doing out at the 150 location, so.	00:33:31
	They can't.	00:33:36
	Physically move those those those experiments just yet.	00:33:37
	To to get everything out of that location. So if we table a.	00:33:40
	Well, that's my, that's my issue, right? Is if we're voting on 8 tonight, we need to know where the funds are coming from.	00:33:46
	I understand what we're contractually obligated, but we need to figure out and have a funding source for.	00:33:51
	Yeah.	00:33:56
	When is the? Is the contract dated and?	00:33:58
	The daily move in They're expecting 312,000.	00:34:01
	There I do know that in a recent conversation they were anticipating payment for the 312.	00:34:04
	So the go ahead.	00:34:11
	The contract says the county warrants that will make every.	00:34:15
	It will make every effort to make the funds referenced in 3D the 312,000.	00:34:18
	Available for disbursement to the borrower in a timely manner.	00:34:24
	I don't know what timely means.	00:34:27
	In every effort. I'm not sure what every effort means.	00:34:30
	I just I have a problem voting on something. We don't know where the funds are. The funds are there, but.	00:34:33
	I mean.	00:34:37
	I'd like to specify where we're.	00:34:38
	I don't. I don't disagree at all.	00:34:41
	I agree with you 100%.	00:34:43
	But keep in mind this is.	00:34:45
	The commissioners that are going to be moving money around.	00:34:49
	To to pay this, it's not going to be the council side we're.	00:34:52
	We're blessing the process basically and but if we want to table, we table that's. I have no objection to that. That's I just want	00:34:56
	to.	00:35:00
	Be clear that.	00:35:04
	The commissioners will be moving money out of.	00:35:05
	And economic Development Fund into this revolving loan fund.	00:35:08
	To to shore it up.	00:35:12
	Or it will be paid directly from the Economic Development Fund, depending on because we've recently learned so nifty new laws.	00:35:13
	1st please we can't move money out of it so it would be paid directly from.	00:35:21
	Economic.	00:35:28
	Is there all would be paid after so?	00:35:29
	Is there a joint meeting coming up in January? I believe it's on the 16th, but that does not leave us.	00:35:34
	Enough money for an advertisement of additional appropriations. So it would require a line transfer at that point if you can find	00:35:41
	the monies to move.	00:35:44
	And then we could do a follow up, additional appropriation if needed to shore up wherever you moved it from.	00:35:49
	Is that appropriate?	00:35:55
	Acceptable.	00:35:58
	I can make that happen, that's for sure. I will happily help Stan make that happen.	00:36:00
	And we meet our obligation. But I think the the point being.	00:36:06
	Is contracts can't be signed.	00:36:10
	Commitments can't be made with financial obligations of funds that don't exist and.	00:36:14
	There should be a.	00:36:18
	Conversation moving forward.	00:36:20
	On any commitments, I agree.	00:36:24
	Yeah, yeah, because and they clear, concise.	00:36:27
	Funding source should be identified.	00:36:30
	Regardless, do we know how much that fun started out with and how it was dispersed?	00:36:33
	You talk about the revolving loan fund. Yeah.	00:36:38
	I'm on redevelopment and I.	00:36:42
	All of 2025 and from the conversations that were had there.	00:36:44
	It hasn't been utilized.	00:36:48
	It hasn't been anything issued out of the revolving loans in almost a decade. It's been at that, It's been at that.	00:36:50
	Amount so I guess why did we sign it contract if we knew there was my thoughts are they were going to pay it out of.	00:36:56
	Edit Edit Yeah.	00:37:02
	And and now they're.	00:37:04
	Now they're wanting to split it. OK.	00:37:05
	Or you know.	00:37:07
	Having and I think the only the only reference to that Mister Joy is the fact that it was identified in the contract itself. It.	00:37:08
	It's specifically stated non revolving loan fund if if I'm if I'm reading it right.	00:37:14
	But if it does also allow us the latitude to find.	00:37:19
	It doesn't say the doesn't.	00:37:23
	Tied 100%. I don't know that I don't think it requires, no, I agree with you. I don't think it requires that it has to come out of	00:37:26
	that.	00:37:30
	So I think.	00:37:34
	You got to make every effort to figure out a way to pay. It is basically what it comes down South if we table to the joint	00:37:36
	meeting.	00:37:38
	Yes, A.	00:37:41
	Yes, and take up B tonight.	00:37:43
	Yes, we can do all of those things.	00:37:45
	You good with that?	00:37:47
	Absolutely. OK.	00:37:48
	I mean it.	00:37:51
	The issue I guess.	00:37:53
	The bottom line is we're obligated to pay based on the contractual.	00:37:55
	Signing that's been passed out, give me a line transfer that covers it tomorrow when the Council be comfortable with us going	00:37:59
	ahead and issuing it knowing that a line transfer is coming forth to cover.	00:38:04
	And then I think at the joint meeting we could.	00:38:10
	This could be a.	00:38:12
	Point of discussion.	00:38:13
	Stating that.	00:38:15
	These things need to be vetted financially before all contracts or.	00:38:16
	Put together and committed to.	00:38:21
	That way we don't.	00:38:23
	We don't delay our payment to our.	00:38:25
	A great organization or vendor who has been committed to Kennedy.	00:38:27
	But.	00:38:31
	All right, so there's.	00:38:34
	There's our options. We can.	00:38:36
	Table A to the joint meeting or we can authorize.	00:38:37
	Transfer. Well, no, you can still table it.	00:38:41
	But if he gets me the line paper, the line transfer documentation tomorrow.	00:38:43
	Knowing that it's coming down the line, the council.	00:38:47
	Knowing that there is going to be a transfer.	00:38:50
	To cover this this payment.	00:38:53
	Comfortable with that's going ahead and processing it so that our commitment is met they can wait another two weeks I mean they	00:38:56
	can wait another week I.	00:39:00
	I think they can.	00:39:05
	I was just checking.	00:39:06
	As per Steve's conversation, there's another date certain on there, right? I think we should wait.	00:39:09
	I'll, I'll leave it up to, to you all to make the motion and.	00:39:15
	And I'll make a motion that we table 3A to the.	00:39:18
	Joint meeting on the 16th and we take this up with the commissioners about how they want to fund that.	00:39:26
	Do you want to include the? OK, sorry, go ahead.	00:39:31
	I'll just let's just keep that clean and let's just do 2A.	00:39:35
	Just try it.	00:39:38
	Is there a second 38? Is there a second for tabling 3/8 to the joint meeting?	00:39:39
	I'll second that.	00:39:43
	We have a motion and a second for tabling. 3A. Any further discussion?	00:39:44
	All in favor say aye aye. Any opposed?	00:39:49
	All right, we'll take that up at the joint meeting. I'll make a motion to approve 3.	00:39:53
	As advertised.	00:39:58
	Is there a second?	00:40:02
	I'll second it.	00:40:07
	For discussion.	00:40:10
	What do you all got?	00:40:12
	I'm still.	00:40:14
	My apologies.	00:40:17
	But uh.	00:40:18
	This contract has not been signed, correct?	00:40:19
	For three.	00:40:23
	I talked in the Dickson I.	00:40:26
	Yeah. So how binding is it been signed?	00:40:30
	I'm sorry, Sir, how binding is it if it hadn't been signed the Commissioner?	00:40:32
	They signed it last night.	00:40:36
	Right.	00:40:38
	What you have is documents that was sent to you prior to those meetings, so your backup documentation doesn't have the signatures	00:40:49
	like the garden. Since then there was a meeting last night with proper pilots were signed off on by the commissioners. We have the	00:40:54
	original document for signature 29.	00:40:58
	OK. So it has in fact been signed?	00:41:06
	OK.	00:41:09
	And if I can just speak to please.	00:41:11
	To the company a little bit.	00:41:14
	It's it's a startup company that's gaining a lot of traction.	00:41:17
	I don't know what the growth.	00:41:21
	Potential is.	00:41:23
	But the.	00:41:26
	Owner of the company.	00:41:29
	As a Floyd County resident.	00:41:30
	And he wanted to keep it in Floyd County, and I believe that.	00:41:31
	Louisville offered him.	00:41:34
	He's been enticed by the women, right? He is.	00:41:36
	And uh.	00:41:39
	And not only does you want to stay here, he's.	00:41:40
	Telling other people in the industry about Nova Park.	00:41:43
	So he's a, he's a good ambassador for for Nova Park.	00:41:48
	I just wanted to get that out there, that.	00:41:52
	And honestly, I agree with all that and I think we need business. We've invested quite a bit in Nova Park. We need to get.	00:41:56
	People in Nova Park.	00:42:03
	Permanently.	00:42:05
	To me, my heartburn is more on the process of how this is.	00:42:06
	Unfolding.	00:42:11
	I understand.	00:42:12
	The funds are in.	00:42:13
	That line item.	00:42:15
	And we can do it, I guess my.	00:42:17
	Only point is how we proceed with more of these because we're going to need to do more of these to fill up that.	00:42:19
	Park possibly, and we really can't until.	00:42:27
	The the revolving loan fund.	00:42:30
	Generates some money or is is funded by edit?	00:42:33
	And eventually it could possibly the revolving loan.	00:42:39
	Fun could be.	00:42:43
	Funded by the TIF and that's something we need to think about.	00:42:45
	And that it's something that commissioners need to think about now. You're right. And that's why I want to have this discussion	00:42:49
	with the commissioners and not pay this.	00:42:53
	We need to have a discussion about.	00:42:57
	How that evolving loan?	00:43:00
	Fine, gets some.	00:43:02
	Revenue.	00:43:04
	We're also exploring some grants. There's a lot of innovation grants that that exist.	00:43:07
	Be just getting new into the game. It's like I'm still getting my feet wet, so I'm finding these things out. So these are all	00:43:13
	pieces that are coming together.	00:43:17
	And I don't disagree with any of the comments, it's just.	00:43:23
	Do we make our?	00:43:28
	Participants in Nova Park.	00:43:31
	Wait while we workout.	00:43:33
	The situational problems that we're.	00:43:35
	You're realizing all the true real problems. You know the.	00:43:38
	I believe in the fact that that we we have Innovation Park, we want good people, we've got great people.	00:43:43
	2 great programs that.	00:43:49
	Are the core mission of Noble Park.	00:43:51
	We don't want to.	00:43:55
	I would I would not like to see.	00:43:56
	Proper pallets get away or would I like to see?	00:43:58
	You know.	00:44:01
	Red wire take a kick in the shin for any reason financially.	00:44:02
	Not that that 25,000 or 312,500 is that kick.	00:44:06
	We know we're obligated to pay. I think it's still.	00:44:12
	If we if.	00:44:15
	We paid.	00:44:17
	We still need to fix our process for.	00:44:19
	It's broken. And I think that's my whole point, Stan, I agree with you. I I think we need to help these companies out.	00:44:21
	It's just the process that I'm having a hard time with tonight, so I'm.	00:44:28
	I'm I'm ready.	00:44:31
	And.	00:44:34
	We said we.	00:44:37
	We will always, the Council will always be the last stop.	00:44:38
	These originate in redevelopment.	00:44:42
	I know and then.	00:44:44
	Then go to the commissioners. But that's why we have joint meetings and we should have brought, we should have been talking about	00:44:45
	this in a joint meeting in the last two or maybe 3.	00:44:50
	Joint meetings have been cancelled.	00:44:55
	And these are exactly the things that need to be talked about.	00:44:58
	And so that's my point.	00:45:03
	We need to be in a joint meeting and we need to be having those and we need to be talking about these kinds of things.	00:45:06
	And I absolutely agree. I think we we.	00:45:12
	We're developing a lot of.	00:45:14
	More of a cohesive team relationship lease on the operation side with council commissioners.	00:45:16
	And trying to pull these little gaps.	00:45:21
	So or identify the gaps, eliminate these gaps so that we can all move forward and be successful in everything we do so.	00:45:23
	I echo your beliefs. Believe me. You know my heart. That's that's where I want. I don't want.	00:45:32
	Just like I didn't want to have to come with 25 different things to council members, it's like these gaps need to.	00:45:37
	We need to hash these out and arm these out before we.	00:45:43
	Have to keep pushing them to the last hour.	00:45:47
	Thank you, Sir.	00:45:51
	Any further discussion on 3B?	00:45:52
	All in favor say aye.	00:45:58
	Aye. Any opposed? Aye.	00:45:59
	Aye, thank.	00:46:01
	That carries. Thank you very much.	00:46:04
	Good. I think we're good.	00:46:07
	I would like to, if I may, Sir, just one comment. I'd like to thank Diana Topping in the auditor staff with.	00:46:09
	Teamsters Union getting.	00:46:15
	Agreement getting.	00:46:16
	Create a lot of extra work and effort on their part.	00:46:18
	Her payroll person, Shelly Harden, did a magnificent job hammering through a lot of those aspects and.	00:46:22
	I really appreciated her dedication and commitment. I know it cost her hours and time and labor and.	00:46:28
	I really do appreciate everything that you guys did, so thank you very much.	00:46:33
	Thank you.	00:46:38
	All right, Diana, you are.	00:46:39
	Just to hit the tail end of that.	00:46:44
	Those things got done because my 83rd and my payroll clerk are very dedicated to their jobs.	00:46:47
	I did not do any of that.	00:46:52
	They did. I was cleaning up other messes.	00:46:54
	But they were very determined that everybody get what was.	00:46:57
	Owed to them as far as the.	00:47:01
	We'll call it. It's not necessarily a signing bonus, but.	00:47:04
	Hey, we finally figured out what we're going to do.	00:47:07
	Kind of.	00:47:10
	Buyout and then the adjusted rates for the new year, so both Shelley and Rhoda.	00:47:10
	Absolutely knocked it out of the park. As far as taking care of the highway department, they did a really great job.	00:47:16
	I'm incredibly lucky to have the staff that I have.	00:47:22
	Hopefully my crazy doesn't change them up anytime soon.	00:47:25
	I know it looks like a lot guys, but the reality is most of this kind of.	00:47:30
	Goes with each other. SO4A and 4B are literally unappropriating Ema's budget from the general fund and appropriating it into the	00:47:35
	public safety fund where you all decide and you wanted it but because we had not advertised enough for the PS lit.	00:47:42
	During the budget advertisement portion.	00:47:50
	It was agreed that we would do this cleanup at the first meeting of the new year. So that is what that represents. So A&B goes	00:47:53
	together and they are unappropriating from the general and reappropriating into the 1170.	00:47:59
	I moved to approve for A&B.	00:48:06
	2nd, we have a motion, a second for 4A and B, any questions for Diana?	00:48:08
	All in favor say aye.	00:48:15
	Any opposed?	00:48:17
	That carries.	00:48:18
	CI think is missing an entire line.	00:48:21
	Should have a $2,000,000 appropriation.	00:48:23
	For capital improvements both for 0068 and 0061.	00:48:29
	0068 representing the Commissioners and 0061 representing the Council. Those are your portions.	00:48:38
	I Should we appropriate the money before we know what we're going to use the money for, All it does is put it in two spin lines I.	00:48:46
	So that once you decide where you want to spend it.	00:48:56
	It you can without having to wait an entire month's time to be able to do so. Except for we don't get the notice about how.	00:48:59
	How it's being spent, it could be spent. You do. We would not.	00:49:07
	I'm not going to let anything come out of your line that you haven't approved. Yeah, this just splits it up between, but the	00:49:11
	commissioners would.	00:49:14
	Could spend it on whatever they wanted. They could spend out of their line.	00:49:17
	And we wouldn't know what it was on.	00:49:21
	And they've identified 2. They've identified, I believe that Bond had a list of identified projects that.	00:49:23
	I don't think we should incorporate these until they bring the projects in front of us.	00:49:29
	That's the way I am.	00:49:33
	Think. Think about it.	00:49:35
	Did we miss advertising the other 2 million?	00:49:37
	OK, OK.	00:49:43
	OK, so we can either.	00:49:48
	You can appropriate or not appropriate. We can appropriate it. We can table.	00:49:50
	And do them both at the same time.	00:49:55
	Or just.	00:49:58
	What are we going to spend our 2,000,000 on? Do we now?	00:49:59
	IT and.	00:50:03
	Sheriff's vehicles.	00:50:04
	OK. And the Sheriff's vehicles for this year are?	00:50:07
	See that's what I would like to see in there share vehicles. So you want a specific.	00:50:12
	Absolutely, for whatever projects we're spending it on so it can be tracked in the IT project. Well, if the council would like to	00:50:17
	get a list of.	00:50:22
	Appropriations to us, we would be happy to advertise those.	00:50:28
	Am I wrong? I mean if I'm, if I'm, if I am.	00:50:35
	The week we've talked about this.	00:50:39
	For meeting after meeting about what the.	00:50:41
	Projects are staying even identified just a.	00:50:43
	But they need to be tracked.	00:50:46
	And in a specific line items.	00:50:48
	We were just tracking departmental specific, but if you would like to.	00:50:51
	Have multiple lines within that fund under your department. I'm happy to create them.	00:50:56
	I would. That's just me.	00:51:01
	No, I think that's totally rational.	00:51:04
	If you need, I'll be glad to bring the projects once the Commission is identifying by project by dollar amount.	00:51:07
	If you rather than create all lies unless you want the lines, no, I'd rather have she wants the lines.	00:51:13
	OK, because you can track them just by looking at a report.	00:51:19
	Yeah, they're they're in.	00:51:22
	All about everything, yeah.	00:51:24
	They do break it down independently. Inside law, we can do a transaction report for a specific line and it shows every single	00:51:26
	vendor that was paid and how much they were paid from that line.	00:51:29
	So. But if you would like specific expense lines created for every single project that comes out of that fund, I am happy to do	00:51:34
	so.	00:51:37
	That's me. That's what I would like.	00:51:40
	We can take that up.	00:51:43
	Anytime.	00:51:45
	Yeah. So motion to.	00:51:46
	Table.	00:51:50
	Do you want a table or disapprove?	00:51:52
	Because if we table it, we're going to bring it back up in February exactly how it is.	00:51:53
	Oh, I just wanted, I wanted to. You want it gone, right? Yeah.	00:51:57
	OK.	00:52:01
	Yep, table. I mean motion to.	00:52:02
	Remote 4C.	00:52:06
	I'll second that. All right, I have a motion and a second to remove item 4C from the agenda. Any further discussion?	00:52:08
	This will likely come back as a.	00:52:15
	AS 0068 and 0061.	00:52:17
	At the next iteration.	00:52:20
	With multiple lines. With multiple lines.	00:52:22
	Any discussion?	00:52:25
	On removal.	00:52:27
	Well, when we talk about spending this and you talk about lines, is that going to give the?	00:52:28
	I mean, what's the difference of?	00:52:32
	When they come before us and we know how much we're going to take out of that.	00:52:34
	Then putting lines in it now and given the opportunity maybe.	00:52:38
	That we don't agree.	00:52:43
	What they're asking for.	00:52:45
	As far as office holders or talking about sheriff cars here, I mean, that's going to fluctuate because I don't know how many cars	00:52:46
	he needs.	00:52:49
	I don't know what he intends to They know how many cars they're gonna want to buy for this year.	00:52:53
	For 2026, I mean they want to buy, but I don't know. I mean we're going to that's a discussion we should have when we appropriate	00:52:57
	the money we're going to appropriate.	00:53:02
	Oh no, that's exactly the same. We're saying exactly the same thing, I think. So this is where.	00:53:08
	The Council does work and.	00:53:13
	The sheriff's understanding that his portion of this.	00:53:15
	General obligation bond is for.	00:53:18
	Vehicles for the next three years, is what he identified.	00:53:20
	Do you mind if I explain my reasoning behind just the two primary lines? Sure, sure.	00:53:23
	No, it is much easier to track how much of your $2,000,000 you have spent.	00:53:27
	If it's all coming out of one line than it is to track how many much of your $200 million you've spent than it is if it is out of	00:53:34
	multiple.	00:53:38
	Lines because at the end of the year, if there's not a contractual obligation.	00:53:42
	For all of the lines that you have appropriated.	00:53:47
	That it all goes back to cash and I get the fun job of figuring out how much of your $2,000,000 is left to spend.	00:53:52
	But but Diana, that's why we have this other thing where the.	00:54:00
	The third set of.	00:54:04
	Numbers can be used.	00:54:07
	To track.	00:54:09
	That our our portion.	00:54:13
	Versus the.	00:54:15
	Like the actual line number.	00:54:16
	Is that true?	00:54:18
	Like a project?	00:54:19
	No the.	00:54:21
	Well, what are the third?	00:54:22
	Set of numbers. That third set is a dead set.	00:54:24
	Those three, those five zeros never change.	00:54:27
	I never heard anything like that. Those five zeros are specific to school corporations, which is where Lao started.	00:54:32
	They never changed their line structure when they moved into county government 25 years ago, and I thought that was a project.	00:54:39
	No ma'am, those 5 numbers never change from 5 zeros. They stay that way forever. OK.	00:54:46
	I still think we need to have.	00:54:51
	Specific.	00:54:54
	Appropriations for specific projects.	00:54:56
	On each year.	00:54:59
	My, that's my that.	00:55:02
	What I think?	00:55:03
	So OK, well the the motion is to remove this item motion and 2nd.	00:55:05
	For tonight's meeting, is there any further discussion on removal?	00:55:09
	All in favor of removing 4C from the agenda say aye.	00:55:14
	Aye, any opposed?	00:55:18
	That is.	00:55:20
	OK. And you do raise your hand?	00:55:22
	Yeah, can we show hands to remove?	00:55:23
	Foresee from the agenda.	00:55:27
	Let's remove it. We'll bring it back.	00:55:31
	As a double.	00:55:33
	Or or with projects. Whatever you all submit to us is what will come back.	00:55:38
	Gosh, so sometime in the next.	00:55:43
	What we have 14 days.	00:55:46
	Prior to the meeting.	00:55:48
	We can add there is a new advertisement scheduled, so sometime in the next two weeks I need a list of what you want to advertise.	00:55:50
	And it needs to come.	00:55:59
	From the County Council president. So the seven of you need to have that discussion.	00:56:00
	However you choose to do that, whether it's you right now or.	00:56:05
	After you complete your agenda prior to.	00:56:09
	Closing or at a joint meeting.	00:56:12
	However you choose to do that, I do have to have a list to advertise.	00:56:14
	Even if it's just.	00:56:20
	Advertising the whole amount getting appropriated in multiple different categories.	00:56:21
	Would you all like to discuss this now?	00:56:27
	I'm in favor.	00:56:32
	Of the 068, the 061.	00:56:33
	Because we know the projects, they're coming out of it.	00:56:38
	That's how I would like to see it broke up.	00:56:41
	I would like to see.	00:56:44
	And I don't know, maybe we can structure it a little different where we could.	00:56:46
	Instead of 0068, we put 0068 and then.	00:56:50
	Two more numbers behind it do that. The programming doesn't allow for it.	00:56:55
	OK, so can only be two numbers.	00:56:58
	At the end of your budget code. Yes ma'am. So, so that you understand what you're looking at there.	00:57:00
	The 4801 designates the fund. I understand 4000, so 40008.	00:57:06
	Is the actual account coding, which in Harris terms would be the line number. Got it.	00:57:12
	The five zeros is called the object and it's just days 5 zeros and then those last four.	00:57:17
	Digits denote the department it belongs to.	00:57:24
	But it can be 4 numbers.	00:57:28
	Not if you wanted to be council or commissioner. No, it can only be two because the Council's DLGF code is 0061 and the	00:57:30
	commissioners is 0068.	00:57:34
	Where OK, So what we would do is do the 0068 out here and we would have different line numbers. So we would have that is a line	00:57:39
	number and so for us we'd have three line numbers.	00:57:44
	We'd have a line number for.	00:57:50
	Sheriff cars and a line #4.	00:57:54
	It is there anything else?	00:57:57
	So just for point of clarification, are we going to?	00:57:59
	Are we going to appropriate?	00:58:02
	The full amount dedicated to both of those.	00:58:05
	At the beginning of this year.	00:58:09
	Only what we expect to spend.	00:58:11
	For this year.	00:58:13
	Which is not the full $2,000,000.	00:58:14
	If you all make sure that you get it to us not more than 14 days.	00:58:19
	I don't see the problem the way he said. Because we're not going to spend $2,000,000, we're going to appropriate 2 million and	00:58:27
	we're not going to spend 2 million.	00:58:31
	We're appropriating it into a fund, not appropriating it to spend.	00:58:35
	It isn't an expense line, but it only gets spent if you tell me to spend it and then I am happy to provide a transaction.	00:58:40
	Comprehension is just like a budget.	00:58:43
	So we're going to budget monies.	00:58:48
	For this year.	00:58:50
	In a line item.	00:58:53
	That we're not going to spend.	00:58:54
	Are we going to move this money to the IT?	00:58:57
	Fund before they spend it, are they going to spend it out of this fund? They're going to spend it from this fund.	00:59:00
	No one. It can't be moved from this fund into another fund. It has to expense directly from this fund.	00:59:06
	And a transaction report using.	00:59:12
	480140080000000061.	00:59:15
	Will show you exactly what gets spent out of that line and where it went and how much. The County Council.	00:59:22
	With the County Council.	00:59:29
	I don't.	00:59:31
	Process anything from these departments without it being approved by the actual issuer. Hold it now we do not have does not have	00:59:31
	to come back in front of us again.	00:59:37
	To be approved before they spend this money.	00:59:42
	Because it's already been appropriate. I'm not going to let the sheriff spend out of this line without the county council's	00:59:46
	approval because of the county council's.	00:59:49
	Department. The sheriff. It's not the Sheriff's Department. No you.	00:59:53
	You could, I can't. We've appropriated. That would be like me spending.	00:59:57
	The sheriff's budget. Am I allowed to?	01:00:02
	Can I just send the sheriff's budget? Yeah.	01:00:04
	Because he's a bigger venue than I do. Appropriated the money to the council's budget to the council.	01:00:06
	That's what those last four numbers denote.	01:00:13
	It will come in and say.	01:00:16
	We've started.	01:00:17
	They're going to come to the council and say.	01:00:19
	And then we'll set up it.	01:00:23
	Then you tell me. Hey, Diana.	01:00:25
	Our key is allowed to spend this much money.	01:00:28
	From the line that we've appropriated of our Go bond.	01:00:30
	I'm not allowed to spend it for any other department without your all's permission because it's.	01:00:33
	Coded 0061.	01:00:38
	OK, that'd be like me paying Christy Fox out of Steve Langdon's line.	01:00:40
	Don't do that.	01:00:44
	It's council, it's council, it's council budget.	01:00:46
	I can't spend anything for any other department out of council's budget without council's.	01:00:50
	Approval.	01:00:54
	I can't do that.	01:00:56
	And I'm not going to let it happen. People don't get to submit things.	01:00:58
	When I tell you that Rhoda Eubank is.	01:01:01
	Flipping amazing when it comes to my AP department. It's insane.	01:01:04
	If something came across her desk.	01:01:09
	From a fund that she's never seen before.	01:01:11
	And it happens.	01:01:13
	She brings it straight to my desk and says what is this and who's allowed to use it?	01:01:14
	OK, she has a list of things that if it gets submitted under any of those codes.	01:01:19
	She doesn't touch it until I've seen it.	01:01:24
	And she does an excellent job.	01:01:28
	I don't know if you guys have ever met Rhoda, but the woman is on top of everything that crosses that desk. We'll never have to	01:01:29
	worry about a Clarks County situation. Ever.	01:01:33
	She catches everything. To be clear, this.	01:01:38
	2,000,000 for us.	01:01:40
	To maintain for the Commission.	01:01:42
	Ma'am, you know that.	01:01:44
	But for.	01:01:45
	It's specific to the projects that you're saying though.	01:01:46
	That money is already.	01:01:50
	Those bombs have already been.	01:01:51
	So we have this.	01:01:53
	Somewhere it's already in the fund. It is not appropriated.	01:01:58
	It's in that bond, Yeah, it was receded in that fund.	01:02:02
	Before Christmas.	01:02:05
	Before Christmas.	01:02:06
	It's there. It lives there.	01:02:08
	We need to.	01:02:12
	Devita at our next meeting between.	01:02:13
	Commissioners and Council, as we agreed to in an ordinance.	01:02:17
	OK, OK. And I give you my word, nothing is going to get spent out of your line without you saying it should be sent out of your	01:02:22
	line.	01:02:26
	Because.	01:02:30
	I don't want that headache.	01:02:31
	I don't want seven people going. Diana, why did you do that?	01:02:33
	We didn't say that was OK.	01:02:36
	I already get that enough from everybody else.	01:02:39
	OK, OK, everybody. So tabled.	01:02:42
	Well removed. We're going to re advertise.	01:02:45
	And bring it forth in February.	01:02:49
	0068 and 0068, No 061.	01:02:50
	Got it. Thank you.	01:02:54
	D&E go together.	01:02:55
	This what this is basically the.	01:02:57
	Fruition of the agreement with the prosecutor that they would cover $10,000.	01:03:00
	Of a portion of their salary out of their diversion funds. So this unappropriates.	01:03:05
	$10,000 out of the general fund covering one of their prosecutors and appropriates it. I make a motion to approve DNA.	01:03:10

	All right, we're on to public comment, Mr. Isaacs.	01:05:26
	I'm sorry you had to sit through that. I didn't.	01:05:30
	I'll stagger up here.	01:05:34
	I saw him smiling for nothing immediately.	01:05:36
	I know I'm only allowed a certain amount of time, but I want to make clear I don't want to waste your time by reading you this	01:05:39
	thing.	01:05:42
	It has been suggested that you are not going to have another vote.	01:05:46
	On the situation.	01:05:51
	Solid waste district.	01:05:52
	I thought you had to have a first.	01:05:54
	Vote in a second vote.	01:05:56
	They had to be 180 days apart.	01:05:57
	And commissioners have already done that.	01:06:00
	But you guys have a say in this at all?	01:06:05
	I don't think so at this point.	01:06:11
	Serve on that board. I think Commissioner started it we.	01:06:13
	Basically rubber stamp what they said and then.	01:06:16
	It's their final decision.	01:06:19
	At being the body.	01:06:21
	So since they voted.	01:06:24
	Yes, in their second vote.	01:06:26
	It's done.	01:06:29
	I don't recall they voted yes. They haven't done their second law.	01:06:30
	They didn't have a second no yet.	01:06:34
	Yeah, I think there's still a couple weeks left on that. I think it's the first.	01:06:38
	February meeting.	01:06:41
	I thought there's. I thought there was before yours.	01:06:43
	OK, well they had a meeting last night, but it wasn't on their agenda.	01:06:47
	They did not vote on that last night.	01:06:50
	And just for a matter of point.	01:06:51
	Too there is, was it 400,000 in the budget?	01:06:53
	For solid waste.	01:06:56
	I think it's 2:40, but.	01:06:59
	No 420 is it 4? It's 4 something.	01:07:00
	That's in the budget so that that would.	01:07:04
	Indicate that it's going to continue at least.	01:07:07
	This year.	01:07:09
	We appropriated that in case it did continue.	01:07:11
	OK on on whatever level.	01:07:14
	Whether it's.	01:07:18
	The same as it is now or it's.	01:07:19
	Change somehow.	01:07:22
	We did approve that in our budget.	01:07:23
	I've timed this. I can do this in 2 minutes.	01:07:26
	You go right ahead.	01:07:29
	OK.	01:07:30
	Having having suffered through the 1st, we've got 2 minutes for you. You go right.	01:07:32
	We'll indulge, yes, OK.	01:07:39
	Well, today will be 183 days for the meeting in which the Council first voted.	01:07:43
	To dissolve the.	01:07:48
	Solid waste district.	01:07:49
	Since that meeting, there's been discussion of the solving the district.	01:07:50
	Gradually.	01:07:54
	I think this means that services would be gradually reduced.	01:07:55
	Either because a commercial event sure has assumed them.	01:07:58
	Because it's felt that they're no longer needed.	01:08:02
	Statements have been made that the important thought is not that recycling should be done away with.	01:08:05
	But rather, it should not be a governor punk.	01:08:10
	Government bill function.	01:08:13
	Or should be paid for by residents.	01:08:15
	In November there was a discussion about recycling.	01:08:18
	Being brought back into government.	01:08:21
	However, there seems to be no motion.	01:08:23
	Towards setting up a structure in the county government for that.	01:08:26
	Is the plan to just let?	01:08:30
	The District.	01:08:32
	To keep it functioning as we strip away the flesh or leave the bare bones.	01:08:34
	If that is the plan, do we really believe the current loyal employees will be willing to spend the rest?	01:08:39
	Of the summer doing.	01:08:45
	The quality job they have done, knowing that they will be removed at some point.	01:08:48
	If we're going to adopt recycling into the government.	01:08:52
	A plan needs to be in the works before we dissolve the district.	01:08:56
	Either way, we should set a date for the district to cease functioning.	01:08:59
	At the meeting in July, the voting was done.	01:09:03
	By voice board, we're not talking about your vote.	01:09:06
	I believe that is the correct term.	01:09:10
	A request was then made to have an individual council member.	01:09:12
	Hold that was quickly dismissed.	01:09:15
	I believe we should be able to see.	01:09:19
	Which council members voted which way?	01:09:21
	That's it.	01:09:25
	Now you're telling me you're not going to have another boat anyway?	01:09:26
	I'm not certain a second vote is required by us.	01:09:32
	And I saw your, I saw your letter in the paper today. I'm glad that you're here.	01:09:36
	We the had a void as a joint.	01:09:44
	Y'all voted as a joint meeting.	01:09:48
	Everybody voted.	01:09:51
	I thought I don't know if my problem was at a joint meeting.	01:09:52
	Maybe not.	01:09:55
	But you did have a vote. We did have a vote.	01:09:56
	Yes. And I thought you had to have two votes. You had to have 180 days in between.	01:09:59
	Commissioner, the Commissioners, Commissioners have to have a second vote.	01:10:04
	I don't believe we do. It's their solid waste district.	01:10:08
	Yeah, we we found what? What? No, there's.	01:10:11
	We're not talking about the commissioners of it. You're saying the regular commissioners.	01:10:14
	The three commissioners and Board of Commissioners waste.	01:10:19
	Are in control of.	01:10:22
	Of that, that is an executive function, that is.	01:10:24
	That is their decision to.	01:10:28
	Keep it, dissolve it, do what they want to with it. We provide funding, which we did.	01:10:31
	So why did you all have a first vote? Because that was required states. That was required by state statute, but only a.	01:10:36
	Only first.	01:10:42
	Thank you.	01:10:44
	Never mind.	01:10:46
	You're fine. It, it, it, it gets confusing to us sometimes as well. We were uncertain why we even had to have a first vote, but it	01:10:48
	is state statute, so.	01:10:52
	Well, I believe there's a lot of us.	01:10:56
	Floating around thinking that this is still up in the air.	01:10:58
	When apparently it's not.	01:11:02
	No, it is. No, it is still up in there.	01:11:04
	You're safe because commissioners have not had a second vote, so I need to take this.	01:11:09
	To the next Commissioner.	01:11:14
	If that could be to join.	01:11:15
	It will be at their, at their meeting, at their, at their next.	01:11:18
	OK. I believe their next one or two.	01:11:23
	Commissioners meeting is on the 20th.	01:11:26
	OK.	01:11:28
	Our talent meeting movie before there, Our joint meeting is on the 16th. Yeah, but I don't know that runs out the clock or not.	01:11:30
	It's at 10 AM.	01:11:33
	Here on the 16th.	01:11:37
	And you're welcome to present to both boards again.	01:11:39
	Well, while we're at it.	01:11:42
	The 20th would also be the next day that we would have a solid waste baby.	01:11:45
	Typically.	01:11:50
	So it's not dead yet, right?	01:11:52
	Not officially.	01:11:56
	Well, actually, to be clear.	01:11:57
	The vote for the commissioners and this body was to dissolve that board, the solid waste board. Never. It was never.	01:11:59
	Implied in my mind.	01:12:07
	That's recycling would go away. That board was going to.	01:12:09
	The district. The district was the board, that solid waste board.	01:12:13
	Was going to go away.	01:12:18
	And that those duties would fall into.	01:12:20
	Yes.	01:12:25
	Which specifically the commissioners, we, we don't get that message. That's not the message the public.	01:12:26
	The city, the public, gets the message.	01:12:31
	When the solid waste district goes away.	01:12:33
	Nobody is yet.	01:12:36
	Go pick up a.	01:12:38
	The ball and start running with it.	01:12:40
	I I don't disagree that that might be the perception.	01:12:43
	That's OK, yeah.	01:12:47
	Don't disagree with you at all That that that.	01:12:50
	Maybe the perception because I've.	01:12:52
	I feel another letter coming. Fielded phone call.	01:12:54
	Yeah, when I saw your letter today specifically addressing the Council, I was like.	01:12:56
	You know, kind of like, you know, not our baby, so to speak. We just.	01:13:02
	Pay for the formula in diapers.	01:13:06
	I would check with. I checked with Daniel whether he had a problem with the.	01:13:08
	Taking something he had published and reading it to you.	01:13:12
	But I started it right.	01:13:15
	OK. Thank you. I appreciate you coming.	01:13:19
	The way you will have handled the.	01:13:22
	The situation up here, I know what was not easy.	01:13:24
	Appreciate you coming.	01:13:27
	Thank you.	01:13:29
	All right, any comments or anything from?	01:13:31
	Mr. President, if I could just just one minute, I was contacted by the Board of Blessings in a backpack about a.	01:13:34
	Packaging event.	01:13:42
	And as some of us have done in the past, have participated and just wanted to see if there was any interest, they do have a spot	01:13:43
	for us.	01:13:48
	That members of the County Council would like to go and.	01:13:53
	January the 22nd.	01:13:56
	At Greenville Elementary School.	01:14:00
	And what that would consist of would just be.	01:14:03
	Packing the sleeves of food.	01:14:06
	So the kids there at that school could have them.	01:14:08
	3:00.	01:14:12
	And didn't know if there was any interest.	01:14:14
	Or it's about an hour.	01:14:17
	You say Green Valley.	01:14:20
	Greenville.	01:14:21
	Greenville, Mm-hmm.	01:14:22
	Last time it was Green Valley. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's the last time we did it.	01:14:25
	What time did you say again, 3:00?	01:14:30
	For about an hour.	01:14:35
	Yeah. If there, if there's interest, I can go ahead and let them know tomorrow that we'll take it just.	01:14:37
	Probably 3 or 4, yeah.	01:14:44
	I think last time we had to be interested. OK, great.	01:14:47
	I am.	01:14:50
	I can try to make that one OK.	01:14:51
	All right.	01:14:53
	Thank you.	01:14:54
	Yeah, and maybe send out an e-mail reminder.	01:14:55
	Sure, if you if you could, that would jar the memory.	01:14:58
	That would be fantastic. Calendar invite or something that would be.	01:15:02
	OK, even better.	01:15:08
	Thank you any any further comments from.	01:15:11
	Council move to adjourn Second.	01:15:13
	Aldo aye.	01:15:17
	Gloria, are we signing anything?	01:15:21
	Understand.	01:15:23
