| All right. We'll call to order tonight's meeting with Floyd County Commissioners, if you will. Please rise. | 00:00:05 | |
| Join us in the Pledge of Allegiance. | 00:00:12 | |
| I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands. | 00:00:15 | |
| One nation under God. | 00:00:22 | |
| Indivisible with liberty and justice for all. | 00:00:25 | |
| Alright, thank you. And a reminder to please. | 00:00:29 | |
| Silence your cell phones. | 00:00:31 | |
| And again. | 00:00:34 | |
| It's all observed. Just a moment of silence for individual prayer, meditation, reflection. We'll get ready for tonight's meeting. | 00:00:36 | |
| All right. Thank you. | 00:01:01 | |
| A relatively brief agenda tonight and then we have. | 00:01:04 | |
| Someone who has signed up to speak at the end, which is always welcome. | 00:01:09 | |
| And we'll start with new business. | 00:01:12 | |
| Chief Operations Nick Creeby. | 00:01:15 | |
| Good evening. The first item I have is a change order for the Health and Human Services building. | 00:01:22 | |
| Super Construction is the contractor on this one. It is a reduction of. | 00:01:29 | |
| $442,000. | 00:01:35 | |
| Bringing the contract price to 2.466. | 00:01:38 | |
| $1,000,000 for that renovation. | 00:01:42 | |
| Of the health. | 00:01:45 | |
| Services Building. | 00:01:46 | |
| There is an additional $100,000 in the contract for contingency. | 00:01:48 | |
| So right now our anticipated budget is. | 00:01:53 | |
| Uh, 2.366 for that for the construction. | 00:01:57 | |
| All right. Well, I personally applaud you and. | 00:02:04 | |
| Also the contractor for getting together and pairing that back down to the original price that we had. | 00:02:07 | |
| Allocated for SO. | 00:02:12 | |
| I have no further questions personally. | 00:02:14 | |
| I'll make a motion to prove. | 00:02:19 | |
| 2nd. | 00:02:21 | |
| OK. I have a motion for approving that reduction change order in a second. All in favor, aye? | 00:02:22 | |
| The next item is Floyd County Ordinance 20/26/08. This is a zoning map amendment. | 00:02:30 | |
| For properties located at 5390. | 00:02:37 | |
| In 5386, Nevelton Rd. That was. | 00:02:41 | |
| 3456 and seven of the Harwell subdivision. | 00:02:45 | |
| They're requesting rural residential to neighborhood commercial. This was heard by the Plan Commission at their March. | 00:02:49 | |
| Science meeting. They provided A favorable recommendation. | 00:02:57 | |
| The conceptual plan will need to be. | 00:03:02 | |
| Adjusted before any development occurs. | 00:03:06 | |
| They requested. | 00:03:09 | |
| That the applicant provide a written commitment that no development will occur without a sewer connection. | 00:03:11 | |
| The applicant has provided a written commitment. It was not formatted correctly to be recorded, so we've asked them to provide | 00:03:18 | |
| that. | 00:03:22 | |
| I would ask that. | 00:03:27 | |
| Approval of this would be contingent on them. | 00:03:30 | |
| Providing that recorded easement. | 00:03:32 | |
| And then finally the. | 00:03:35 | |
| 3rd condition was to provide a 30 foot right away on Nevilleton Road which they agreed to do. | 00:03:37 | |
| OK, so we'd be looking for. | 00:03:45 | |
| Uh, any discussion on the matter and then approval with unanimous consent contingent upon completion of all written commitments is | 00:03:48 | |
| that. | 00:03:51 | |
| That's sufficient. | 00:03:55 | |
| Yeah. All right. Well, I'll make the motion to approve Floyd County Ordinance 2026-08. | 00:03:56 | |
| The map amendments to the Floyd County zoning ordinance contingent upon. | 00:04:04 | |
| The recorded easement and 30 foot right away. | 00:04:08 | |
| With unanimous consent. | 00:04:12 | |
| Is that to include? | 00:04:15 | |
| The sewer or is that included in that? | 00:04:17 | |
| OK, I'll second that. | 00:04:20 | |
| OK. And motion and a second. | 00:04:22 | |
| All in favor, aye? | 00:04:25 | |
| I've more, thank you very much, County Attorney Christie Fox. | 00:04:26 | |
| Thank you the A&B, really. | 00:04:32 | |
| Go together. There's a special purchasing memo that has been submitted by the IT department for purchasing with the switch quote | 00:04:34 | |
| for the IT department that is under B. | 00:04:39 | |
| And so looking for approval to proceed forward with that quote and that purchase. | 00:04:44 | |
| With a special purchasing basis under the statute as outlined in the special purchasing memo submitted. | 00:04:50 | |
| Alright. | 00:04:58 | |
| Favors with a few details. | 00:05:02 | |
| I've got a quote for replacing all the switches in the county. | 00:05:05 | |
| Network switches. | 00:05:08 | |
| There's about. | 00:05:09 | |
| 32 of them. | 00:05:10 | |
| Total. | 00:05:12 | |
| Across all of our sites so. | 00:05:13 | |
| And those funds have already been appropriated, is that correct? | 00:05:17 | |
| Yes Sir, the the Council's committed to up to a half $1,000,000 in the their Gold Bond contributions. | 00:05:23 | |
| To support. | 00:05:29 | |
| Gary in this instanteavor. | 00:05:31 | |
| OK. And. | 00:05:33 | |
| The amount? | 00:05:35 | |
| Just for public. | 00:05:36 | |
| Oh it's the total was 320,000. | 00:05:38 | |
| So $320,000 for all switches and the council has already appropriated that out of their no bond proceeds, correct? | 00:05:42 | |
| All right, Yeah, I'll make a motion to accept. | 00:05:48 | |
| The mid I'll second. | 00:05:51 | |
| I have a motion and a second on that. All in a favor, aye? | 00:05:54 | |
| Thank you. Thank you. | 00:05:58 | |
| OK, the next thing I have is resolution 2026-10. | 00:06:02 | |
| This is approving an option agreement to purchase communications easement to sell communications easement and. | 00:06:06 | |
| The actual easement document attached thereto as Exhibit A. | 00:06:14 | |
| This is for the sale of a permanent easement, not sale of the property itself. | 00:06:18 | |
| Happy to answer any questions on that. | 00:06:24 | |
| OK. And currently we're getting 2000 per month for a lease on that? | 00:06:27 | |
| I do believe that to be correct. | 00:06:33 | |
| And that's the number that I was working with. I don't wanna put anybody on the spot, but I mean it was approximately that we | 00:06:36 | |
| could say. | 00:06:39 | |
| And the purchase price? | 00:06:41 | |
| Or the easement is $250,000 and that is correct midpoint of. | 00:06:43 | |
| It was within both appraisals, or it was actually north of the average of the two appraisals. | 00:06:47 | |
| So it was greater than the average of the two appraisals. It was also within. | 00:06:52 | |
| The parameters for similar properties that we had seen within the area. | 00:06:57 | |
| And, umm. | 00:07:00 | |
| The advantages that. | 00:07:01 | |
| I personally seen this as that it's a permanent easement, which means that if the technology goes bad or they don't use it for | 00:07:03 | |
| that, the property reverts back to the county. That is correct. | 00:07:07 | |
| And furthermore. | 00:07:12 | |
| The $250,000. | 00:07:14 | |
| I'll speak for everyone, but you can also. | 00:07:17 | |
| Agree on that or or or not, but the agreement that we've come up with is we'd like to put that into the 9/11 fund. | 00:07:22 | |
| So that the funds come in through that could be used to further technology with regards to that. So it's. | 00:07:29 | |
| Kind of within the realm of what that cell tire was purposed forward to begin with, so. | 00:07:34 | |
| And in your research stand that all seems to be. | 00:07:39 | |
| Copacetic correct? | 00:07:43 | |
| Yes, Sir. OK. | 00:07:44 | |
| So. | 00:07:46 | |
| And and I'll I'll be the first to say I think that was Frank and Jason's idea on that and. | 00:07:49 | |
| When it was mutually presented to me, I thought that was. | 00:07:55 | |
| Very appropriate place for those funds to go. | 00:07:58 | |
| So thank you for. | 00:08:01 | |
| Convincingly of that so. | 00:08:03 | |
| Any further discussion? | 00:08:05 | |
| Abnormal Make a motion to accept Floyd County Resolution 202610. | 00:08:07 | |
| I'll second. | 00:08:15 | |
| OK. I have a motion and 2nd for approval of FCR 2026-10 with those funds to be going into the 9/11 fund. | 00:08:17 | |
| All in favor, aye? | 00:08:25 | |
| All right. Thank you. | 00:08:27 | |
| OK. And the last thing I have is Resolution 2026-11. This is related to the Clark Floyd landfill. | 00:08:30 | |
| And there's a resolution approving multiple things, the settlement agreement, the to resolve the litigation that's pending. | 00:08:37 | |
| A deed and indemnity agreement therein. All of those are attachments there too and happy to answer any questions you may have | 00:08:45 | |
| there. | 00:08:49 | |
| I have no question but. | 00:08:56 | |
| I have a comment, but I'll I'll see if Mr. Looper, Mr. Sharp will make a comment on that first. | 00:08:57 | |
| No, I think that. | 00:09:03 | |
| Having given testimony in this case, I think this is a. | 00:09:05 | |
| A great thing for Floyd County to. | 00:09:11 | |
| Relieve itself of their liabilities. | 00:09:14 | |
| Thereof. | 00:09:17 | |
| So, uh. | 00:09:18 | |
| I'm in favor of it. | 00:09:19 | |
| Well, I can't follow that, I agree. | 00:09:21 | |
| I'll just say I think this is potentially the most significant. | 00:09:23 | |
| Item that's come across. | 00:09:27 | |
| This desk since I've been here so I applaud people for getting this as far with it. Hopefully we get this across the finish line | 00:09:29 | |
| so. | 00:09:33 | |
| I'll look for a motion to approve that. | 00:09:37 | |
| Make a motion to approve the Settlement and release agreement. | 00:09:40 | |
| As well as the environmental and indemnity agreement. | 00:09:43 | |
| As well as the resolution 2026-11 which incorporates all three of those documents. | 00:09:48 | |
| Oh yeah, sorry. See that? | 00:09:54 | |
| Moved it open. | 00:09:56 | |
| It yes, my motion will include the Floyd County Resolution 2026. | 00:09:58 | |
| 11, I'll second. | 00:10:03 | |
| OK, all in favor, aye? | 00:10:05 | |
| Aye. | 00:10:07 | |
| All right, that passes. Thank you very much. | 00:10:09 | |
| You know, uh. | 00:10:12 | |
| Item 3 of the appointment to new Omni Plan Commission for fringe appointment. | 00:10:14 | |
| We finally after much searching I think I found someone who checks up all the boxes on that. | 00:10:19 | |
| Mr. Jacob Arbital. | 00:10:25 | |
| Who is a? | 00:10:30 | |
| Democrat, which this position has to be held by, and they live within the fringe area. | 00:10:33 | |
| Then move to the Norman Planning Commission. So. | 00:10:38 | |
| Look for a motion to approve that appointment. So moved. | 00:10:41 | |
| Second all in favor, aye. | 00:10:44 | |
| Alright, uh. | 00:10:47 | |

| All right, next Commissioner Jamie will be Tuesday, June 16, 2026 at 6:00 PM. | 00:11:11 | |
| Public comment from elected officials tonight. | 00:11:21 | |
| The Ohio County Council. I would like to concur. | 00:11:30 | |
| But finally settled in this landfill. | 00:11:33 | |
| Deal. | 00:11:35 | |
| Getting us off the hook for any liabilities. | 00:11:36 | |
| That's been a disaster after waiting to happen for. | 00:11:39 | |
| As long as I've been on the council so. | 00:11:42 | |
| I commend everybody involved. | 00:11:44 | |
| They got that to go and finish it up. I think it's going to come before our body next week, right? Correct. | 00:11:45 | |
| Yeah. | 00:11:51 | |
| I think what's. | 00:11:52 | |
| Institutional knowledge on that go back 20 years. | 00:11:53 | |
| Probably. Yeah, yeah, yeah. | 00:11:57 | |
| So it's it's, it's a big. | 00:11:59 | |
| It's a big settlement. That's nice. | 00:12:04 | |
| All right, all right. That's the next commissioners meeting I have. Is it Laney or Lancey Joe? | 00:12:06 | |
| Lady OK. | 00:12:12 | |
| All right, come on up, young lady. | 00:12:14 | |
| Feel like I should stand up and so yeah, that's a lot more metals than I ever. | 00:12:19 | |
| Required in my Air Force days. | 00:12:23 | |
| We won't make you tell us what each one of those is publicly, but maybe after the meeting you can tell me what some of those. | 00:12:25 | |
| Thank you. | 00:12:28 | |
| I'm Young Marie, my Sergeant Jones, and I'm with the Kentuckiana Young Marines, and the Young Marines is a nonprofit youth | 00:12:31 | |
| organization. | 00:12:35 | |
| For kids ages 8 to 18. | 00:12:38 | |
| And we teach drug demand reduction. | 00:12:40 | |
| Leadership, teamwork and discipline and a part of the Young Marines is doing sign offs and getting promoted. | 00:12:43 | |
| In one of my sign offs is coming here today and asking for. | 00:12:48 | |
| Your recommendations or? | 00:12:51 | |
| What you think about my community service project? | 00:12:55 | |
| In my community service project is. | 00:12:57 | |
| Flag Retirement Box said we will be putting up Mr's hardware. | 00:13:00 | |
| And during our encampment season, we will be retiring them. | 00:13:03 | |
| Respectfully in the correct way. | 00:13:07 | |
| And I was just wondering if you guys had any feedback about that? | 00:13:10 | |
| So it's a flag retirement box. | 00:13:13 | |
| Yes, Sir. OK, so. | 00:13:15 | |
| Let's say you collect your 20 flags in there so. | 00:13:18 | |
| Where? How do you respectfully? | 00:13:21 | |
| So we fold them the correct way and. | 00:13:22 | |
| After we take. | 00:13:26 | |
| The flag down. We will burn them. | 00:13:27 | |
| And we salute each flag as we bring them. | 00:13:30 | |
| OK, well, I, I personally think it's a wonderful. | 00:13:33 | |
| Project because. | 00:13:35 | |
| I have unfortunately seen. | 00:13:37 | |
| Flags. | 00:13:39 | |
| Unintentionally trampled upon, thrown into the garbage. | 00:13:40 | |
| One thing that really gets me going is sometimes it. | 00:13:43 | |
| People leave them. | 00:13:46 | |
| Flying when they, they're beyond torn up, right? Yes. And so that always is like, so sometimes people don't want to take them down | 00:13:47 | |
| because they don't have a place to take them and they don't know what to do with them. Yes, Sir. | 00:13:52 | |
| So we were always taught to either burn them or bury them, right? Yes, Sir. | 00:13:57 | |
| So. | 00:14:00 | |
| No, I think it's commendable and if you. | 00:14:02 | |
| Need a little help with that. | 00:14:05 | |
| You know, contribution wise, check me after this too and we get you a little donation or something like that. So how many are you | 00:14:06 | |
| going to do? | 00:14:09 | |
| Just one We only have one spot for it, but if we. | 00:14:13 | |
| If me personally, if I get more funds then I would make more. | 00:14:17 | |
| And I. | 00:14:21 | |
| I don't. I don't really know where. | 00:14:23 | |
| But. | 00:14:26 | |
| The Mr's hardware offered. | 00:14:27 | |
| To for us to put it there because it's kind of. | 00:14:29 | |
| Open in an area that we can put it. | 00:14:32 | |
| OK. No, I think it's commendable. It's it's fantastic that you're out there leading the way on this type of thing and frankly. | 00:14:34 | |
| I'll probably leave this meeting feeling better about the future of our county and our country. Maybe then. | 00:14:41 | |
| I have on some other occasions just because another people out there. | 00:14:47 | |
| Literally and figuratively wanting to pick up. | 00:14:51 | |
| The flag and. | 00:14:53 | |
| And go forward with it for SO. Thank you. Yes, Sir. | 00:14:54 | |
| I agree. I commend you guys for what you're doing. I I think it's. | 00:14:57 | |
| Outstanding that so many young people are knowing the. | 00:15:01 | |
| Correct weight. | 00:15:04 | |
| To do this procedure. So thank you very much for doing that I. | 00:15:05 | |
| I'm very grateful. | 00:15:08 | |
| Thank you. | 00:15:09 | |
| I too applaud you and. | 00:15:11 | |
| Your two soldiers back there. | 00:15:14 | |
| I don't know where you got those boots that small, but. | 00:15:17 | |
| Keep borrowing from me. That's great. | 00:15:23 | |
| But no, I only know of one place in the county. | 00:15:26 | |
| To dispose of a flag properly, and that's in front of in the. | 00:15:29 | |
| Vestibule at Myers. | 00:15:34 | |
| Yes Sir, they have a box there. | 00:15:36 | |
| Yes, Sir. And I use it every year, so I'm. | 00:15:37 | |
| I applaud you for what you're doing. | 00:15:41 | |
| Yes, Sir. | 00:15:43 | |
| Do you know of any way that we would be able to get the word out more like we're going to be posting it on Facebook? | 00:15:44 | |
| But is there any way that like? | 00:15:48 | |
| We could. | 00:15:50 | |
| Really put it out there. | 00:15:51 | |
| Well, we're happy to put it on our website. | 00:15:54 | |
| I don't know if that's really out there because I don't know how much traffic we get, but if you put it on any sort of social | 00:15:57 | |
| media and flag us what we have to put. | 00:16:01 | |
| OK. Thank you. I would think that every American Legion or VFW would want one of your boxes. Yes, Sir. | 00:16:06 | |
| Thank you. | 00:16:15 | |
| That's all I have. | 00:16:16 | |
| Well, if you haven't had to hang out afterwards, I'd like to speak to you about all those. | 00:16:17 | |
| Those ribbons, OK? Yes, Sir. Alright. | 00:16:21 | |
| Thank you. Thank you. | 00:16:24 | |
| Thank you. | 00:16:26 | |
| Mr. Moore. | 00:16:27 | |
| Evening, gentlemen. Thank you. | 00:16:37 | |
| I do applaud. | 00:16:38 | |
| This idea. | 00:16:40 | |
| I have a flag I replace mine start to look like a battle flag in actual battle. So. | 00:16:42 | |
| And it's been in my garage for a month so I can. | 00:16:47 | |
| Try to find a VFW something so. | 00:16:49 | |
| Is that the minister hardware in Georgetown? | 00:16:52 | |
| That's I go to that place once a week. | 00:16:55 | |
| And yeah, I also wanted to commend you guys on the. | 00:16:57 | |
| I do want money on the landfill there. | 00:17:01 | |
| Manville deal under Details about. | 00:17:03 | |
| That contract with Ecotec. | 00:17:07 | |
| Which almost is bad as bad as bad as the Hammersmith power contract. As far as I was concerned. They. | 00:17:09 | |
| Troy County. | 00:17:14 | |
| We're all in for liability, but. | 00:17:15 | |
| We didn't have any much control, so whatever you can do to. | 00:17:18 | |
| Under that, I appreciate it. | 00:17:21 | |
| And the last thing is. | 00:17:24 | |
| Yeah, you did the motion on the special purchase order? | 00:17:26 | |
| He did it as a bid. | 00:17:30 | |
| But the thing said. | 00:17:31 | |
| It was a quote, Yeah, quote is the one under the statute, right? | 00:17:33 | |
| It it was quoted as a special purchase, that's correct. | 00:17:36 | |
| On the special purchase statute, that is correct because you guys said bidding, it's just. | 00:17:41 | |
| No, I I mean, I just straighten it out for your records, right? | 00:17:46 | |
| Thank you, gentlemen. Thank you, thank you. | 00:17:49 | |
| All right, any other public comment? | 00:17:53 | |

| All right. We'll call to order tonight's meeting with Floyd County Commissioners, if you will. Please rise. | 00:00:05 | |
| Join us in the Pledge of Allegiance. | 00:00:12 | |
| I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands. | 00:00:15 | |
| One nation under God. | 00:00:22 | |
| Indivisible with liberty and justice for all. | 00:00:25 | |
| Alright, thank you. And a reminder to please. | 00:00:29 | |
| Silence your cell phones. | 00:00:31 | |
| And again. | 00:00:34 | |
| It's all observed. Just a moment of silence for individual prayer, meditation, reflection. We'll get ready for tonight's meeting. | 00:00:36 | |
| All right. Thank you. | 00:01:01 | |
| A relatively brief agenda tonight and then we have. | 00:01:04 | |
| Someone who has signed up to speak at the end, which is always welcome. | 00:01:09 | |
| And we'll start with new business. | 00:01:12 | |
| Chief Operations Nick Creeby. | 00:01:15 | |
| Good evening. The first item I have is a change order for the Health and Human Services building. | 00:01:22 | |
| Super Construction is the contractor on this one. It is a reduction of. | 00:01:29 | |
| $442,000. | 00:01:35 | |
| Bringing the contract price to 2.466. | 00:01:38 | |
| $1,000,000 for that renovation. | 00:01:42 | |
| Of the health. | 00:01:45 | |
| Services Building. | 00:01:46 | |
| There is an additional $100,000 in the contract for contingency. | 00:01:48 | |
| So right now our anticipated budget is. | 00:01:53 | |
| Uh, 2.366 for that for the construction. | 00:01:57 | |
| All right. Well, I personally applaud you and. | 00:02:04 | |
| Also the contractor for getting together and pairing that back down to the original price that we had. | 00:02:07 | |
| Allocated for SO. | 00:02:12 | |
| I have no further questions personally. | 00:02:14 | |
| I'll make a motion to prove. | 00:02:19 | |
| 2nd. | 00:02:21 | |
| OK. I have a motion for approving that reduction change order in a second. All in favor, aye? | 00:02:22 | |
| The next item is Floyd County Ordinance 20/26/08. This is a zoning map amendment. | 00:02:30 | |
| For properties located at 5390. | 00:02:37 | |
| In 5386, Nevelton Rd. That was. | 00:02:41 | |
| 3456 and seven of the Harwell subdivision. | 00:02:45 | |
| They're requesting rural residential to neighborhood commercial. This was heard by the Plan Commission at their March. | 00:02:49 | |
| Science meeting. They provided A favorable recommendation. | 00:02:57 | |
| The conceptual plan will need to be. | 00:03:02 | |
| Adjusted before any development occurs. | 00:03:06 | |
| They requested. | 00:03:09 | |
| That the applicant provide a written commitment that no development will occur without a sewer connection. | 00:03:11 | |
| The applicant has provided a written commitment. It was not formatted correctly to be recorded, so we've asked them to provide | 00:03:18 | |
| that. | 00:03:22 | |
| I would ask that. | 00:03:27 | |
| Approval of this would be contingent on them. | 00:03:30 | |
| Providing that recorded easement. | 00:03:32 | |
| And then finally the. | 00:03:35 | |
| 3rd condition was to provide a 30 foot right away on Nevilleton Road which they agreed to do. | 00:03:37 | |
| OK, so we'd be looking for. | 00:03:45 | |
| Uh, any discussion on the matter and then approval with unanimous consent contingent upon completion of all written commitments is | 00:03:48 | |
| that. | 00:03:51 | |
| That's sufficient. | 00:03:55 | |
| Yeah. All right. Well, I'll make the motion to approve Floyd County Ordinance 2026-08. | 00:03:56 | |
| The map amendments to the Floyd County zoning ordinance contingent upon. | 00:04:04 | |
| The recorded easement and 30 foot right away. | 00:04:08 | |
| With unanimous consent. | 00:04:12 | |
| Is that to include? | 00:04:15 | |
| The sewer or is that included in that? | 00:04:17 | |
| OK, I'll second that. | 00:04:20 | |
| OK. And motion and a second. | 00:04:22 | |
| All in favor, aye? | 00:04:25 | |
| I've more, thank you very much, County Attorney Christie Fox. | 00:04:26 | |
| Thank you the A&B, really. | 00:04:32 | |
| Go together. There's a special purchasing memo that has been submitted by the IT department for purchasing with the switch quote | 00:04:34 | |
| for the IT department that is under B. | 00:04:39 | |
| And so looking for approval to proceed forward with that quote and that purchase. | 00:04:44 | |
| With a special purchasing basis under the statute as outlined in the special purchasing memo submitted. | 00:04:50 | |
| Alright. | 00:04:58 | |
| Favors with a few details. | 00:05:02 | |
| I've got a quote for replacing all the switches in the county. | 00:05:05 | |
| Network switches. | 00:05:08 | |
| There's about. | 00:05:09 | |
| 32 of them. | 00:05:10 | |
| Total. | 00:05:12 | |
| Across all of our sites so. | 00:05:13 | |
| And those funds have already been appropriated, is that correct? | 00:05:17 | |
| Yes Sir, the the Council's committed to up to a half $1,000,000 in the their Gold Bond contributions. | 00:05:23 | |
| To support. | 00:05:29 | |
| Gary in this instanteavor. | 00:05:31 | |
| OK. And. | 00:05:33 | |
| The amount? | 00:05:35 | |
| Just for public. | 00:05:36 | |
| Oh it's the total was 320,000. | 00:05:38 | |
| So $320,000 for all switches and the council has already appropriated that out of their no bond proceeds, correct? | 00:05:42 | |
| All right, Yeah, I'll make a motion to accept. | 00:05:48 | |
| The mid I'll second. | 00:05:51 | |
| I have a motion and a second on that. All in a favor, aye? | 00:05:54 | |
| Thank you. Thank you. | 00:05:58 | |
| OK, the next thing I have is resolution 2026-10. | 00:06:02 | |
| This is approving an option agreement to purchase communications easement to sell communications easement and. | 00:06:06 | |
| The actual easement document attached thereto as Exhibit A. | 00:06:14 | |
| This is for the sale of a permanent easement, not sale of the property itself. | 00:06:18 | |
| Happy to answer any questions on that. | 00:06:24 | |
| OK. And currently we're getting 2000 per month for a lease on that? | 00:06:27 | |
| I do believe that to be correct. | 00:06:33 | |
| And that's the number that I was working with. I don't wanna put anybody on the spot, but I mean it was approximately that we | 00:06:36 | |
| could say. | 00:06:39 | |
| And the purchase price? | 00:06:41 | |
| Or the easement is $250,000 and that is correct midpoint of. | 00:06:43 | |
| It was within both appraisals, or it was actually north of the average of the two appraisals. | 00:06:47 | |
| So it was greater than the average of the two appraisals. It was also within. | 00:06:52 | |
| The parameters for similar properties that we had seen within the area. | 00:06:57 | |
| And, umm. | 00:07:00 | |
| The advantages that. | 00:07:01 | |
| I personally seen this as that it's a permanent easement, which means that if the technology goes bad or they don't use it for | 00:07:03 | |
| that, the property reverts back to the county. That is correct. | 00:07:07 | |
| And furthermore. | 00:07:12 | |
| The $250,000. | 00:07:14 | |
| I'll speak for everyone, but you can also. | 00:07:17 | |
| Agree on that or or or not, but the agreement that we've come up with is we'd like to put that into the 9/11 fund. | 00:07:22 | |
| So that the funds come in through that could be used to further technology with regards to that. So it's. | 00:07:29 | |
| Kind of within the realm of what that cell tire was purposed forward to begin with, so. | 00:07:34 | |
| And in your research stand that all seems to be. | 00:07:39 | |
| Copacetic correct? | 00:07:43 | |
| Yes, Sir. OK. | 00:07:44 | |
| So. | 00:07:46 | |
| And and I'll I'll be the first to say I think that was Frank and Jason's idea on that and. | 00:07:49 | |
| When it was mutually presented to me, I thought that was. | 00:07:55 | |
| Very appropriate place for those funds to go. | 00:07:58 | |
| So thank you for. | 00:08:01 | |
| Convincingly of that so. | 00:08:03 | |
| Any further discussion? | 00:08:05 | |
| Abnormal Make a motion to accept Floyd County Resolution 202610. | 00:08:07 | |
| I'll second. | 00:08:15 | |
| OK. I have a motion and 2nd for approval of FCR 2026-10 with those funds to be going into the 9/11 fund. | 00:08:17 | |
| All in favor, aye? | 00:08:25 | |
| All right. Thank you. | 00:08:27 | |
| OK. And the last thing I have is Resolution 2026-11. This is related to the Clark Floyd landfill. | 00:08:30 | |
| And there's a resolution approving multiple things, the settlement agreement, the to resolve the litigation that's pending. | 00:08:37 | |
| A deed and indemnity agreement therein. All of those are attachments there too and happy to answer any questions you may have | 00:08:45 | |
| there. | 00:08:49 | |
| I have no question but. | 00:08:56 | |
| I have a comment, but I'll I'll see if Mr. Looper, Mr. Sharp will make a comment on that first. | 00:08:57 | |
| No, I think that. | 00:09:03 | |
| Having given testimony in this case, I think this is a. | 00:09:05 | |
| A great thing for Floyd County to. | 00:09:11 | |
| Relieve itself of their liabilities. | 00:09:14 | |
| Thereof. | 00:09:17 | |
| So, uh. | 00:09:18 | |
| I'm in favor of it. | 00:09:19 | |
| Well, I can't follow that, I agree. | 00:09:21 | |
| I'll just say I think this is potentially the most significant. | 00:09:23 | |
| Item that's come across. | 00:09:27 | |
| This desk since I've been here so I applaud people for getting this as far with it. Hopefully we get this across the finish line | 00:09:29 | |
| so. | 00:09:33 | |
| I'll look for a motion to approve that. | 00:09:37 | |
| Make a motion to approve the Settlement and release agreement. | 00:09:40 | |
| As well as the environmental and indemnity agreement. | 00:09:43 | |
| As well as the resolution 2026-11 which incorporates all three of those documents. | 00:09:48 | |
| Oh yeah, sorry. See that? | 00:09:54 | |
| Moved it open. | 00:09:56 | |
| It yes, my motion will include the Floyd County Resolution 2026. | 00:09:58 | |
| 11, I'll second. | 00:10:03 | |
| OK, all in favor, aye? | 00:10:05 | |
| Aye. | 00:10:07 | |
| All right, that passes. Thank you very much. | 00:10:09 | |
| You know, uh. | 00:10:12 | |
| Item 3 of the appointment to new Omni Plan Commission for fringe appointment. | 00:10:14 | |
| We finally after much searching I think I found someone who checks up all the boxes on that. | 00:10:19 | |
| Mr. Jacob Arbital. | 00:10:25 | |
| Who is a? | 00:10:30 | |
| Democrat, which this position has to be held by, and they live within the fringe area. | 00:10:33 | |
| Then move to the Norman Planning Commission. So. | 00:10:38 | |
| Look for a motion to approve that appointment. So moved. | 00:10:41 | |
| Second all in favor, aye. | 00:10:44 | |
| Alright, uh. | 00:10:47 | |

| Aye. | 00:11:10 | |
| All right, next Commissioner Jamie will be Tuesday, June 16, 2026 at 6:00 PM. | 00:11:11 | |
| Public comment from elected officials tonight. | 00:11:21 | |
| The Ohio County Council. I would like to concur. | 00:11:30 | |
| But finally settled in this landfill. | 00:11:33 | |
| Deal. | 00:11:35 | |
| Getting us off the hook for any liabilities. | 00:11:36 | |
| That's been a disaster after waiting to happen for. | 00:11:39 | |
| As long as I've been on the council so. | 00:11:42 | |
| I commend everybody involved. | 00:11:44 | |
| They got that to go and finish it up. I think it's going to come before our body next week, right? Correct. | 00:11:45 | |
| Yeah. | 00:11:51 | |
| I think what's. | 00:11:52 | |
| Institutional knowledge on that go back 20 years. | 00:11:53 | |
| Probably. Yeah, yeah, yeah. | 00:11:57 | |
| So it's it's, it's a big. | 00:11:59 | |
| It's a big settlement. That's nice. | 00:12:04 | |
| All right, all right. That's the next commissioners meeting I have. Is it Laney or Lancey Joe? | 00:12:06 | |
| Lady OK. | 00:12:12 | |
| All right, come on up, young lady. | 00:12:14 | |
| Feel like I should stand up and so yeah, that's a lot more metals than I ever. | 00:12:19 | |
| Required in my Air Force days. | 00:12:23 | |
| We won't make you tell us what each one of those is publicly, but maybe after the meeting you can tell me what some of those. | 00:12:25 | |
| Thank you. | 00:12:28 | |
| I'm Young Marie, my Sergeant Jones, and I'm with the Kentuckiana Young Marines, and the Young Marines is a nonprofit youth | 00:12:31 | |
| organization. | 00:12:35 | |
| For kids ages 8 to 18. | 00:12:38 | |
| And we teach drug demand reduction. | 00:12:40 | |
| Leadership, teamwork and discipline and a part of the Young Marines is doing sign offs and getting promoted. | 00:12:43 | |
| In one of my sign offs is coming here today and asking for. | 00:12:48 | |
| Your recommendations or? | 00:12:51 | |
| What you think about my community service project? | 00:12:55 | |
| In my community service project is. | 00:12:57 | |
| Flag Retirement Box said we will be putting up Mr's hardware. | 00:13:00 | |
| And during our encampment season, we will be retiring them. | 00:13:03 | |
| Respectfully in the correct way. | 00:13:07 | |
| And I was just wondering if you guys had any feedback about that? | 00:13:10 | |
| So it's a flag retirement box. | 00:13:13 | |
| Yes, Sir. OK, so. | 00:13:15 | |
| Let's say you collect your 20 flags in there so. | 00:13:18 | |
| Where? How do you respectfully? | 00:13:21 | |
| So we fold them the correct way and. | 00:13:22 | |
| After we take. | 00:13:26 | |
| The flag down. We will burn them. | 00:13:27 | |
| And we salute each flag as we bring them. | 00:13:30 | |
| OK, well, I, I personally think it's a wonderful. | 00:13:33 | |
| Project because. | 00:13:35 | |
| I have unfortunately seen. | 00:13:37 | |
| Flags. | 00:13:39 | |
| Unintentionally trampled upon, thrown into the garbage. | 00:13:40 | |
| One thing that really gets me going is sometimes it. | 00:13:43 | |
| People leave them. | 00:13:46 | |
| Flying when they, they're beyond torn up, right? Yes. And so that always is like, so sometimes people don't want to take them down | 00:13:47 | |
| because they don't have a place to take them and they don't know what to do with them. Yes, Sir. | 00:13:52 | |
| So we were always taught to either burn them or bury them, right? Yes, Sir. | 00:13:57 | |
| So. | 00:14:00 | |
| No, I think it's commendable and if you. | 00:14:02 | |
| Need a little help with that. | 00:14:05 | |
| You know, contribution wise, check me after this too and we get you a little donation or something like that. So how many are you | 00:14:06 | |
| going to do? | 00:14:09 | |
| Just one We only have one spot for it, but if we. | 00:14:13 | |
| If me personally, if I get more funds then I would make more. | 00:14:17 | |
| And I. | 00:14:21 | |
| I don't. I don't really know where. | 00:14:23 | |
| But. | 00:14:26 | |
| The Mr's hardware offered. | 00:14:27 | |
| To for us to put it there because it's kind of. | 00:14:29 | |
| Open in an area that we can put it. | 00:14:32 | |
| OK. No, I think it's commendable. It's it's fantastic that you're out there leading the way on this type of thing and frankly. | 00:14:34 | |
| I'll probably leave this meeting feeling better about the future of our county and our country. Maybe then. | 00:14:41 | |
| I have on some other occasions just because another people out there. | 00:14:47 | |
| Literally and figuratively wanting to pick up. | 00:14:51 | |
| The flag and. | 00:14:53 | |
| And go forward with it for SO. Thank you. Yes, Sir. | 00:14:54 | |
| I agree. I commend you guys for what you're doing. I I think it's. | 00:14:57 | |
| Outstanding that so many young people are knowing the. | 00:15:01 | |
| Correct weight. | 00:15:04 | |
| To do this procedure. So thank you very much for doing that I. | 00:15:05 | |
| I'm very grateful. | 00:15:08 | |
| Thank you. | 00:15:09 | |
| I too applaud you and. | 00:15:11 | |
| Your two soldiers back there. | 00:15:14 | |
| I don't know where you got those boots that small, but. | 00:15:17 | |
| Keep borrowing from me. That's great. | 00:15:23 | |
| But no, I only know of one place in the county. | 00:15:26 | |
| To dispose of a flag properly, and that's in front of in the. | 00:15:29 | |
| Vestibule at Myers. | 00:15:34 | |
| Yes Sir, they have a box there. | 00:15:36 | |
| Yes, Sir. And I use it every year, so I'm. | 00:15:37 | |
| I applaud you for what you're doing. | 00:15:41 | |
| Yes, Sir. | 00:15:43 | |
| Do you know of any way that we would be able to get the word out more like we're going to be posting it on Facebook? | 00:15:44 | |
| But is there any way that like? | 00:15:48 | |
| We could. | 00:15:50 | |
| Really put it out there. | 00:15:51 | |
| Well, we're happy to put it on our website. | 00:15:54 | |
| I don't know if that's really out there because I don't know how much traffic we get, but if you put it on any sort of social | 00:15:57 | |
| media and flag us what we have to put. | 00:16:01 | |
| OK. Thank you. I would think that every American Legion or VFW would want one of your boxes. Yes, Sir. | 00:16:06 | |
| Thank you. | 00:16:15 | |
| That's all I have. | 00:16:16 | |
| Well, if you haven't had to hang out afterwards, I'd like to speak to you about all those. | 00:16:17 | |
| Those ribbons, OK? Yes, Sir. Alright. | 00:16:21 | |
| Thank you. Thank you. | 00:16:24 | |
| Thank you. | 00:16:26 | |
| Mr. Moore. | 00:16:27 | |
| Evening, gentlemen. Thank you. | 00:16:37 | |
| I do applaud. | 00:16:38 | |
| This idea. | 00:16:40 | |
| I have a flag I replace mine start to look like a battle flag in actual battle. So. | 00:16:42 | |
| And it's been in my garage for a month so I can. | 00:16:47 | |
| Try to find a VFW something so. | 00:16:49 | |
| Is that the minister hardware in Georgetown? | 00:16:52 | |
| That's I go to that place once a week. | 00:16:55 | |
| And yeah, I also wanted to commend you guys on the. | 00:16:57 | |
| I do want money on the landfill there. | 00:17:01 | |
| Manville deal under Details about. | 00:17:03 | |
| That contract with Ecotec. | 00:17:07 | |
| Which almost is bad as bad as bad as the Hammersmith power contract. As far as I was concerned. They. | 00:17:09 | |
| Troy County. | 00:17:14 | |
| We're all in for liability, but. | 00:17:15 | |
| We didn't have any much control, so whatever you can do to. | 00:17:18 | |
| Under that, I appreciate it. | 00:17:21 | |
| And the last thing is. | 00:17:24 | |
| Yeah, you did the motion on the special purchase order? | 00:17:26 | |
| He did it as a bid. | 00:17:30 | |
