Board of Supervisors - Regular Meeting

CDBG. Oh.

I didn't know. I didn't know that. I I could have.

That's my that's their grant money so. Yeah.

How long is that going to keep going?

How did they save that tree grant?

We're going to get it for quite a while.

Up to 750,000. Oh, we got a long ways to go. For that tree grant.

We're going to order new trees this week again. Again.

Are you going to be doing your tour in your office today? With which group? Both? Historic Reservation. Or both, yeah.

So are we meeting for the other one for ISAC?

In the basement courtroom or that little room because I think as of right now both courtrooms are being used.

Yeah, it's a busy day, so...

Unless something changes by 1 o'clock.

And we need somebody for the bell tower. Yeah, you talk to me. I already got that.

I'll make a motion to approve today's agenda. I'll second.

Call for a vote.

Chippin, aye. Stephen, aye. Bowles, aye. Perfect. How about the minutes? I've only got one thing left. The very last sheet, Kayleigh? Yep. You've got John Martin and Ben Comey. Oh, I still have him? Okay, yeah. After King's death. Yeah, I get the minutes. He was not alone. He was. Okay, thank you.

One thing I've seen. Okay. All right, two right in the minutes.

I didn't see anything out of place. That was good. I'll make a motion to approve the minutes with the correction. Tip it aye. I'll second it first. There you go. And I'll vote tip it aye. Tip it aye. Move it aye.

Perfect. OK, discuss and approve resolution 26.

63, I didn't get the number on the agenda.

OK, 2663.

And this is just the end.

Approve or deny homestead military tax credits and disability veterans homestead tax credits.

Yep, so every year they have until July 1 to sign up for the following year.

Correct.

So these won't go into effect until next year. Yep. But we start working on the credits now because it affects the valuations.

Can I have a motion? I would make the motion to approve Resolution 2663. Second. All right. Call for a vote. Tippett, aye. Stephen, aye. Bull, aye.

Rick Wood, maintenance update.

Got two quotes so far for the sidewalk. And they're, but I want them, they're right around $5,000 a piece. So we have that capital money. Can we pull that, when we do this, pull that out of the capital?

For this building, remember we still have funds in that.

And then throw, so you don't have to worry about the fence, but throw that fence project in on it?

We're talking this man out here that we keep getting called out on our safety, too.

But, yeah, that's, everything's high anymore. So, I need to know if you want me to think, keep going ahead with this. I can't find any more bids yet, so.

You could try the guy from Atkins.

Atkins Lumber?

No, they never can. I don't know about him. Okay.

What did he do before I can find it?

He did all the cement work on the last one.

For transportation.

But then the other question was, if we're going to go do this, you still just want to patch it or just replace this whole section up to where our lot line is?

$5,000, that should be replacing all of it.

Well, these are just some pretty good, I mean, because there's pretty good sections right here. There's about four squares total that are going to come out here. And there's three plus that one section that's settled. To line it up, they've got to pull that out that comes up to the building. Towards Mindy's office, or do you eliminate that sidewalk?

On that other side? Yeah, it's right over here.

It comes, like, under the underhang.

Do they use that to access inside?

I think so.

Does the city have to be involved in sidewalk removal? No.

The state just wants to make sure it's taken care of.

So it sounds like we're just going to have a little bit of the old platform.

rough anyway we should just have it from like where it's broke up to because it's cracked up where it goes out for the walk sidewalk is where our lot line ends roughly it's cracked i mean it's settled right in there too so about another little piece that goes out to the street right there somewhere that one has to stay because that's the handicap accessible comes out by those utility ports there yeah But this was also removing most of these approaches that come off the road too, is what this, is what we're figuring into this price. Getting rid of those. But I guess I gotta have one Seth thing because.

Could we recess for a moment and he can show us what he's gonna do? You guys can go walk out there. That way I know for certain in my mind.

i guess what i'm leaning on right now is the sidewalk to the south that comes up on the outside of the building yeah as of right now the way it is anybody comes in this building has to come through security that's not like that's not one we have to take care of right now so that's why i'm leaning on air it out because that part of this is

one section of that is settled really bad so they were going to tear that out to blend it into the new sidewalk. See, there's, like I said, it's just things you guys need to decide for sure.

But if we tear that out, we'll still have to fill it in or somebody could trip and get hurt, right?

Yeah, it'll get all filled in with dirt. Yeah. That's no big deal.

But, I just was, I mean, I'm trying to figure this stuff, get it taken care of, but we got to figure out how we're paying for it. But like I said, Walston wants that fence put up. I know what you're saying, but it's, you guys, I don't know who promised him that that was going to be put in. So, and now he wants it.

The whole length of the garden or just over there?

Just over where his drive is to the transportation building.

let's do the sidewalk first have us go out there and take a look at it okay well these guys kind of look different and then and then i said we needed to go out there yep i'll wait in here okay if you want to recess or shut it down or just let it play it'll only be a few minutes

So I'm through reduced credits. That's where I'm at on tax taxes. I kept getting a fatal error yesterday.

For running your credits?

No, it's like when you run a step and then it kept giving me this thing. So I put in a ticket and I think I got it fixed.

Yeah, I hate that when I get those because sometimes it don't make sense to me.

Well, I have two packets open. but you won't let you delete one because you're in another line, but yet. Right. Maybe that's doing it. Because I was going to import from the state and try it that way versus manually, but I did everything manually, so. Yeah.

Yeah, and if they haven't, it's because of that second one, they'll come in and delete it.

Yeah, they have to do it on their end, which you can start a packet for general ledger or something and you can find it and delete it.

But yeah, for some reason that doesn't... On tax evaluations, they can't.

Right.

That's weird. I had that too one time. I opened a packet up. I had a county call me and they were asking questions and then without picturing it, so I had to get, I opened the packet.

I didn't do anything but went on and deleted it.

So the next month I had to use it for something else for a month then. So I just relabeled it and used it. We'll get there.

service or asl office does

I didn't get anything for the ISF tour to hand out and give everybody suckers.

I didn't do that.

I don't know what. I meant for Allison actually.

Oh, that's a good idea. We have suckers. I honestly didn't think about it.

That was quick.

We're going to figure it out. There's just a few blasts every day.

So what did you decide? Yeah, we got to figure it out. We're just going to have to have them come back and re-bid. Yeah.

With tearing out that other?

Yeah. There's four approaches that will be torn out. The sidewalk will be replaced. Looks like maybe one... square past where it's busted, and then up to our property line. And then tear those four approaches out, and then tear the piece out that goes up to the other side of the tail.

And... I only have a few more questions. We need to figure out what we're going to do about starting this water thing, figuring out what to do for the courthouse, that water problem around there. We have to start something. I don't know how you want to approach that, because it's hard to bid something out like that, just having different companies come. And you don't have one set of plans, so everybody's been in the same thing. Because that's going to be a big project. And we've got to start doing something with that. Because we're still getting water.

Not the northwest corner?

Just around the building. I mean, where we've had problems, the northwest corner. It comes in on the north side, different places. I get some in my office. We have to do something about that. We need to seal up that building along the outside. Do we have tiling around it? No. There's nothing there right now.

You're talking like when they come in and just do foundation repair? Yeah.

It's hard to bet, you know, everybody's going to, if you just call a different company, they're all going to come in with something different. We need one set, something that somebody's going to follow. It's got to be addressed here pretty soon because it's not getting any better.

We could probably see what other counties have done to courthouses with an RFP type thing.

Or you're going to start... It's going to start ruining the rooms that are down there.

Do we see if the assistant county engineer has time to come and look and help draw up a plan of all the work that we need done? I don't know if that's a field of expertise.

How much?

the air conditioners and everything are on the north side they're on the well they're around you guys you got some on the south you got a bunch on the east few on the north and then few on the west but you got air conditioners everywhere around that building see i guess what i'm thinking of what what's going to have to be done you're going to have to to do it right you're going to have to excavate

next to the courthouse yes get all that dirt out of there yes put a tile around there and then that's actually gonna have to the only way you're gonna have to do that you're gonna have to put a manhole in it with a thumb pump well there's no fall that would fall you could tie that in storm sewer down below hit the road well i cannot speak for bitten but i know a new hole you cannot put any kind of rain spout tile around your basement into the sewer system in Newhall. Storm sewer. Yeah. It can go in the storm sewer.

Because I think right now the roof drains, how they were done aren't right, but I think they all run down to the storm sewers somehow. That was done a long time ago. Okay. But back where that dumpster sits, that transformer sits, I'm taking on a bunch of water in that room down there now.

Because I guess what I'm looking at is the only way you'd actually have to do it, in my opinion, in four parts. You're going to have to do the corners. The northwest corner up to the front door to the west. Because the rest of that, you've got that stairwell going down to the basement. That's protected. But still, you shouldn't, by rights, go around on the south side then, come around from the rest of that side onto Andre's office, and then go back east up to the front stoop of the church, of the courthouse.

The problem, other problem, they have the old window wells that they buried in there, and I don't know how they ever sealed them up. And that's where some of the water's coming in, too. As I said, I get in my office, and the old window well that's there, when it's driven out of the south,

As much rain as we've been having, it's really showing up.

Thanks. Yeah. Well, we've got to figure out how we want to go about it so everybody's, whoever looks at doing it, is doing the same. Everybody visitates it. Yes. All right.

How many windows are fixed that way?

Well, there's all kinds of them in the basement. Yeah, who knows? There's a lot of them. I have no clue where a lot of them are. There's a lot of them over top there. A lot of them. It just makes it tough. The only windows that are technically still there is to the north and to the east where a water line comes in that we froze up how many years ago. And then the generator to the north where the air comes in and exhaust exits. They're the only two window wells that are still technically there, but they got somewhat of a shelter on top of them. The glass ain't there, but I mean, the framework, it's got a pit all the way around on the outside of the building.

Like my window, that area's fine. That we go in and out of.

But, yeah, it's... So we don't know if those were bricked in or cemented in? We don't know how.

We try to look on the... I have a little folder with the courthouse history stuff.

Because I can't remember... What year that water line closed up?

Oh, that was second one.

Or I was one of the first or second winners.

I was here. So that's, I'll be five years of summer. So, okay.

The courthouse is, it's absolutely a beautiful building, but I'd like to see those windows fixed.

They talked to Rick Ramo. He might remember too.

So we haven't fixed properly. So in 20 years, somebody doesn't have to revisit this.

it's going to be technically done from the outside yeah you got to dig it out yeah so all the the rock and all the landscaping and everything that's done is going to have to be removed yeah

You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah. And technically to do it right, you should actually.

Remember all the shrubs that were there that got torn out?

You've got Stoop to the north, that foam company from Iowa City, you know, they swore up and down, oh, we'll raise that right up. Yeah, they didn't move.

Wrong. That didn't happen. And like I said, I'm not getting water, like under the steps, like even the front step, I don't get water into there. It's around the rest of it. See, that's what I'm guessing. You're going to have to do just corners. But they're going to need, yeah.

I see what you're saying now that you say do the corners.

Yeah. All right. Well, we'll talk about that here. But we've got to get something figured out. It's not getting any better.

I understand what Rick's saying. We need one set of plans. That's the same thing. Yeah.

We have to get an engineer to come in and look at that.

Because I have no clue.

Who did we have that time that they come in and walked around with us? Were you a supervisor or was that when I was?

The only time I walked around was that guy that's got ones to sell us stuff.

Oh, yeah. No, but it wasn't him. It was an actual architectural firm. I'm thinking it had to do with, it wasn't waterproofing, it was something like our foundation. Our pointing stuff.

Well, if we do it right, then that'll eliminate all the seepage coming in that's causing all the white powder or whatever.

I think that's always going to be there, but I think that's just the limestone reacting with the ground.

But I guess that's my feeling, that if we'd do it in sections. Sounds like the northwest corner where the IT stuff is in the basement, that's

Yeah, one of the bad ones. But like I said, honestly, another really bad one that's showing up this year is right behind that transformer. That's to the north? That's on the north side where the dumpster and that transformer sit right in that corner. Well, see, that's the one I said, that's the one I wanted to fix. That one's really bad, and I don't know how you go about that one with that transformer sitting there.

Well, we don't know how many window wells could be between there In the corner to the west.

And then, like I said, the corner where the corner, that northwest corner is where they store their election equipment and then the server room. That had been taken on quite a bit. That's carpeted floor in there. But yeah, we've got to figure something out.

Do we have original plans for the building that would show all those windows?

We have the plans, I haven't found all the windows for the basement part. They might be on there, you'll look closer. And one more question. Can we think about upping, doing something with custodial more here? I almost need something about every day going through these bathrooms.

He said with the extra traffic.

ASAC has a lot of traffic. It's busy now.

Especially the restrooms.

And they're not. We need to do something different because they need more coverage and what they're getting. So you're thinking a day board? Or just, you know, have somebody, if I could have somebody once a day come in for like an hour, hour and a half, make sure they're vacuuming the halls, take care of the boardroom, doing but it's almost that way in our contracts with these people we have custodial service every day and written in it and these bathrooms really need something done but we're gonna have to change up because right now she's like a three hours a week that's what she gets i would say put together a plan and us i just want to make sure i can go ahead and try to think about changing that is she willing to i don't know we might have to redo that because it's okay i don't need to know the name but i mean is she uh local yes place over there okay that if she's willing to come over you know after work It's showing the dirt. We have a lot more traffic than we've had.

How many hours a week are you at now?

Three. And most of the time it's one to two hours a week is all I'm getting.

Does she come in on Saturday mornings? No? That was the other gal that did that?

But especially the bathroom. We have to change how we have it.

I know Dick has made the comment. He's taking it upon himself to just do it a few times.

Yeah, I heard that too. And I said I had a few complaints. I'm just throwing it out here. It's me speaking now. I'd be willing to give the gal eight hours for the week. She can figure out how she wants to do it. I don't expect her to vacuum.

the hallway and come the winter when we get all the salt, that's the big issue. We have a ton of salt. But we need to change it. If that's something we want to think about, we could always change budget and everything for that.

If we went to eight hours a week, give enough time, an hour a day for the restrooms,

but we have to get it worded got something set up worded so it's what their daily duties for sure let's go for that yeah she just does a common use areas the hallways the restrooms when to make sure the windows are done dust the hallways vacuum this room's hit and miss we didn't mean to just some of those other ones though we told them where the

vacuums and things work for their own.

But the other thing is whoever we have for custodian is shared, they get two hours a week out of for DHS. So that would be 10 technically. Yeah, DHS pays. Or we take it to six and two out and make...

I would say six and two probably.

She's only doing three now. Doubling it. So, I mean, that's...

Well, if we had a guy with a number of appointments. Well, she wouldn't go in those office spaces, but I just want to know what we have here.

I have a lot of scope of work for you. But they do their 10 hours. I was going to say it'd take more than, to get it done, yeah, six hours is probably a good number.

OK. So we just need to get something written up. If we go ahead and change that and work that, so maybe it'll save. SOME OF THE COMPLAINTS.

I'M JUST LOOKING AT AN HOUR A DAY, THAT'S FINE. THEN IT GOES BACK ON SATURDAY. JUST POINTING THAT OUT. MAKE SURE EVERYTHING GETS CLEANED, THE WINDOWS DONE, THE DOOR WINDOWS. THAT'S WHAT I'M LOOKING AT. BECAUSE THEY DON'T GO THROUGH EVERYTHING. Well, they don't go through everybody's office. That's the only thing. Yeah. If you go to six hours, I look at it, they spend an hour a day for the bathroom that night, the bathroom. And you know yourself how long it takes to clean the bathroom. And then if you've got to scrub the urinals, the toilet, you don't have to do that every night, but at least probably once a week, you know, or...

I would say... For me, the restroom should get that... Bob. It's going to take at least... That would be the urinals, the toilets, and the mopping.

Yeah, and see, then I look at leaving an hour on Saturday to vacuum this hallway, this room, and clean the windows.

And the vacuuming can be done, spot vacuum too.

And right now, it was worded up to three hours a week. Well, if you were, I mean, you either got to set a time, how many, or you word it up to so many, so...

Because Beth is where you get the most complaints. Restrooms and lunchrooms are the two biggest ones.

So we'll figure something out and bring it back so you can approve it or whatever.

Do you have your semiannual, Ron? Did you make a copy of it?

I emailed it to them. Okay. I emailed it. Okay. I read it last night.

Okay. Do we need to wait until we get that other $100 thing?

Hmm?

Is that correct? No, because that was a 2025. No, I don't understand that. Okay. because that's a different fiscal year.

You know, we can look at the courthouse again when we go over for the other stuff. Yeah. You know what I mean? Foundation areas.

Yeah. Okay. I'd like to take a look at that suit, really.

you guys know that building it's about like me getting to visualize the landfill in person okay belinda uh what i've seen or looked at that

At the end of the fiscal year, am I right, that we ended up with $31 million in sales?

Yep.

I'd say we're doing a fairly good job.

We are. Yes. Yes. I've been very happy the last few months when I've seen some of the claims and that come in, especially at the end of the fiscal year. We really have only had one big one, which is normal. Usually third quarter. Yeah. So our bank accounts were sitting really good. Usually this time of year, sometimes I was starting to worry where I was going to have to move money from, and I haven't had to worry about it. It's always in between before taxes start coming in again.

Right.

So I know, yeah, taxes will start coming in in August again. So we really, it was just this month where we're not taking in much. But we're doing good.

This reflects every fund. Some of those non-operating ones that we really don't utilize as well.

Could we, and you could just email one to us, once available.

where everybody came out in here anyone I gave you one the month before it yeah yeah I'll give you the AFR stuff how we ended actual disco you wanted a nice department do you want it in that same format you're used to the budget works even if you give a percentage yeah only question I have

On the CDs.

Yes.

One of the groups that I attend, when we have a CD come due, they call around at different banks. Do you do the same thing?

Most of the time. Occasionally I don't because the banks will come back with a lot of times they'll renew me close to what we're already at. So when it's really a good rate, I just have left it. But yes, if there's really bad rates, then I do.

You've had a bank reach out occasionally?

Yes. Every once in a while, one of the smaller local banks, they'll reach out and be like, hey, we're willing to take some money. Do you have any? We'll give you this amount. for a 10-month CD, stuff like that.

So we did that with, like, the opioid and the ARPA. Okay.

Right now a lot of them around they're all running pretty similar with some specials and I have to keep them

I keep them under, I'm supposed to keep them under 12 months. Occasionally I'll bump up the routine just because.

Any questions, gentlemen? No, I have a question. Can I take a motion to approve?

I'll make a motion to approve the Treasurer's Semiannual Report. Thank you. Oh, you probably would like me to sign one, don't you?

Yeah. If you wait, you can sign two.

I'll give you the one and I'll scan the other. Yep. With the paper. Yeah.

Would I give you one of those to sign this one?

No, you didn't. Down here. Yeah, please sign two.

You want two of them? Yes, please.

Yeah, mine's clear. I just took it off. I just emailed it. I don't know why that's a very important one. That one is, too. I just emailed that off the file.

I think it's from New Britain. I don't know.

Do you want to put it on our CD?

I have the one I just sent you.

I had another one.

Come on. Oh, there's another one.

Which one's over there?

Thank you. Yep.

Thanks guys.

Alright, how about

I have a chance to review the recorders, quarterly report and everything. Move the Quarters orderly report. I will second.

Call for a vote. Chippin, aye. Hanoi, full time. Do you want one of these folded in thirds?

Look at you. You're going to miss me, ain't ya? Yup. Please go back in those files in my backdrop. I can't move.

Oh yeah, those old thin files.

Okay, there's water.

That's a big one.

Yeah. There it is.

It actually should almost run you guys the GIS one because that one actually does make some money.

Yeah. Probably should.

Like with the beacon subscriptions and... that when people come in and use our big plotter, we charge them for prints. Okay. So maybe I'll start doing that this fiscal year. Do you guys like that?

Yeah, that would be all right. All right. So can I get a motion to approve the auditing report? I don't think the motion is to approve the auditing report.

I'll second that motion. I'll pray it over. Tip it. Aye.

Amen. Aye. Move it.

Looks like the big change was they must have got everything signed with the federal government. They've got their increase coming in there. Yep. Looks like a busy quarter for serving papers too.

April and May was almost identical in every season. In June, they must have had a sheriff's ad. And that was way up. Can I get a motion to approve the Sheriff's Quarterly Report?

I'll make a motion to approve the Sheriff's Quarterly Report. I will second that motion. Okay, call for a vote. Tippett, aye.

Newman, aye. How do you want to sign this one, Annie? I printed it off.

You don't have... We would just, if you fold it, and we'll just initial it that way.

The front sheet? Just the front one? Yeah. Is that good enough for you?

Well, no, I'll keep it all together in that while. So just, however you make initial on it is fine. Just initial the top of the front.

I guess the only copy we got is the one I copied.

Yeah, I had one, but yeah.

Okay, VA and PA. I'll do the VA first. That's a hard one to figure out, because it's all . Can I get a motion to approve the Veterans Affairs quarterly report?

I'll make the motion to approve the Veterans Affairs quarterly report. I'll second it. I'll for a vote. Tip it. Aye. I know we talked about this not that long ago, but funeral relief, is that enough funding to do what needs to be done?

Usually we look at that because it's mostly just cremation that we help assist. Yes. So usually if that price goes up, then we'll adjust our policy on that. But I can tell Courtney asked the last time.

Right. The only thing that we have a little snafu here A while ago, a family member paid, because the way we got it set up now, the county paid the funeral. And the sister paid for the credit card to get things started. And then we end up paying the sister, and we have to pay that here two months ago. Yeah.

That's because we wanted to make sure the funeral home got paid there.

Yeah. Yeah. That's the only difference that we've ever done on this. Yeah. I was thinking, when I first become a supervisor, wasn't it $1,250? Yes. And then Sarah had it upped. Because I don't think we've increased it since Sarah was. We bumped it up to $1,500.

I'd have to look at that resolution.

They know much better, but...

It's been at least two or three years.

Well, our veterans, they tell us that she will do more and fund it. And I don't think they get a lot of it.

Well, we have three in that quarter. I would move to approve the General Assistance Quarterly Report. Perfect.

I'll second.

Call for a vote. Tippett, aye. Amen, aye. Wilson, aye.

I know I emailed Tracy yesterday. That position, Monday, for that care navigator position that's going to be down there, she's going to start Monday. Monday? She's going to meet me today. I'm going to go around, shore the place, give her the keys, that kind of stuff. So hopefully you'll still be here. Her name's Ellie.

We're going to sign a bunch of stuff.

Yeah. She'll probably still be here. I told her just pop in and we'll meet you. Okay.

I like that I'm pretty clean.

I saw that. I knew who he meant, right? He's got it right in another one. So let's just re-type it.

Perfect.

OK. Report. Well, I had a long meeting in Tama with the Hartman Group. I stopped on Friday and talked to Hayden about a lot of it. Some of the things that are coming out with the new requirement for signage a lot of people are using this to put it on the courthouse window and i said we can't do that because it blocks the view of it and then some some of the county said well to save money we've got rid of security so it doesn't matter if we block the window but i told them what we had done but the question that was was brought up the requirements And the question was, is if the website goes down, if the computer goes down within 24 hours of the meeting, can you then legally hold the meeting? Because the notice wasn't available for people. And nobody knows an answer.

I remember the last time we asked that, just because sometimes there is a glitch. I know it's posted on the web. You can go out and view it. But that email didn't go out. As long as we have it posted in our official place that was the board, we were covered. But I think that's something we do need to address. We did very well.

Well, they're just worried about the wording of that that came out that says that we had to do this. It doesn't need to be rewritten, and that's not that we decided. And then another thing that came up, now that the speed limit is 60 miles an hour, the distances between the stop aheads. Oh my, that's right. And it becomes an insurance issue because if the stop ahead sign isn't far enough away, then somebody blows through it. So that was...

When was the last time it was changed previously?

It was in the 70s. Long time.

Because was it higher or lower then? Somebody thought it was higher, like 75.

Yeah, and they dropped it to 55 right before I got my driver's license, so that would have been a 74.

Here I was born.

And then there's some other things that we'll discuss if OSHA comes in and finds an issue and is it categorized as this department or whatever and they find this the first fine is sixteen thousand five hundred dollars if they come back within the next five years find that issue there again, the fine is now 160,000. So we've got to be really, yeah, if OSHA finds something, we've got to correct it immediately. comes back on the department and our safety committee yeah the safety committee is yeah because mostly yeah that's what she said the county would foot those fines yeah yeah so that was something uh uh that uh was was brought up uh another thing uh if let's say the departments that have multiple vehicles right now there's a 500 deductible on each vehicle but if let's say 10 sheriff's cars are outside and all 10 get damaged by hail, well, now we're talking $5,000 in deductible. They put a cap on at $2,500. Which is kind of nice. Yeah, that does help the insurance company. Because if it's one event, and then also there was a change that, let's say that the vehicles are in a facility, in a building, the building starts on fire because the furnace blew up or whatever, then those vehicles inside are covered because the primary cause of the issue was yes. And so there wouldn't be the deductible and stuff on those vehicles. They'd all be covered by the buildings insurance. So those are some of the things that they mentioned. And then the seminars this fall and whatever. insurance premiums are due, I talked to Hayley about that, by the 29th.

And I forwarded that policy to Ray to look at. We might need to amend our vehicle policy for county usage regarding the speed limit and stuff.

They came out with guidelines as far as MVRs. And if an employee refuses to allow they ran the RV check, they are not allowed to drive a vehicle. That makes sense. And if they have so many violations or whatever, then they got them all listed out on this now. So that's something that I don't know what's in our handbook, but we did send a copy to Josh and to Dave as well. And where he's looking. Yeah, so they're all aware of it. The only thing that they changed on it, and we're going to go through it again, but the only thing they changed on it was Because the speed limit is up to 60 now, there's the parameters of how fast you drive over the speed limit and get in trouble.

I should probably send that one to Myron to look at, too.

Yeah, it's from like 35 to now 61 is what's allowed. So that's the only wording that they change. We'll learn more next month or two months from now when we go back. But that was the only one that I had. It was a four-hour meeting.

Well, and back to the public postings, because with our commissions, you know, like we have the historic preservation that's already wanted our website link. I was also reached out by the finder cemetery. So those might be things, if we talk to our web host again, if we do find out that they have to absolutely have that, we might have to put a link somewhere. But I don't feel like I should be responsible for all their agendas. I think they should be responsible for their own because it's not you three attending. It's their public meeting, not ours. So I don't have a problem allowing them on the web, but I'm not going to be responsible.

No, not for that.

Okay. I had the public health meeting Friday morning. Everything's still going through their changes and things are working well. Nothing terribly new or anything going on there.

I had conservation last night. They got things going wrong, but they're trying to get problems solved. They got a water issue at Rogers. Hopefully get that remedied here this week. And then I got a septic tank problem down at Hannon. And that'll take a while to solve that issue. That's about it. So I will take a motion to go into recess right now so we can sign all the forms that are on the chairs.

The forms of the militaries? Yes. And then, right now, I think our We're going to meet in the basement room. But if one of the courtrooms opens up, we might make it more brighter and lighter. But before we adjourn, maybe ask, because they'll have legal counsel with them from ISAC usually. Beth will be there. Maybe we could ask her on that website posting. Yeah, that would be good. Just to get her thoughts, because I'm sure we're not the only one questioning.

Right. Right. Yeah, that's a good idea.

You sure at all? pass some of these things at the state level and then make it easy for us to decipher it.

It doesn't make it easy for the county.

So did any of you sign up for that tax reform webinar coming up next week?

I assume not.

OK. I'll throw it at you. I would assume they would let you guys on it. It's from ISAC.

It came last night. Well, last week.

I think the more the merrier to listen and hear.

It's not an overly long one. deals specifically with property taxes. And it is a webinar?

Yeah. Yeah. It's probably the first initial steps. But I think we are going to plan one with the auditors and supervisors in person one, too. Because we're not allowed to roll files yet between the assessor and us, because there's too many things that we have to get done before he rolls his file to me, including the homestead exemption stuff.

So is that more...

So these forms, people signed up, they qualify, but now it's our part to get the correct amount. So say you have two parcels out on your farm, one split with an outbuilding, they're going to start working on combining some of those so that we can see the values combined? So what?

Because it goes on your... What I heard you say was that those ladies can do the program...

That's what we're working on with the software. Yes, we're all in the same Tyler program. But he has Vanguard for this assessment stuff. So one of the first steps would be combining some of those parcels. Because otherwise we won't know what their whole valuation is to give them that homestay credit. As long as they're contiguous parcels.

It's nice to hear that the programs will talk to each other.

Oh yeah, the software companies are very aware of what we need done. It's just not something that happens overnight.

One to three on July 22nd.

Yeah.

Okay.

Is that next week? Yeah. Next Wednesday.

When?

Next Wednesday. You have to register it because it will send you the link. I think that email come last week.

Yeah, it came on the 9th.

Come from ISAC.

I hope they record it.

Usually they are so you can go back on them and find them.

I have an appointment that day.

Most of those are. And I'm sure we'll hash it out in August, too, at the ISAC conference. That's all I had before you recessed. I just wanted to make sure you could do that.

Well, I would make a motion we move into recess until 1 o'clock. When we meet with ISAC for the 99 county project. Is that the correct way to say what they're doing?

County tour, yeah.

County tour, yeah. I'll second it. All for a vote.
