Cc - Regular Meeting

the Boys and Girls Club be that kind of event. I'm going I can make it that kind of event. That's why they're right. Yeah, I'm going to Vegas tomorrow morning. Okay. We're coming back with all real money.

Are we ready, Christina? All right. All right. We are ready to go. We want to welcome you to our uh work session tonight. This is our annual uh work session for training on uh our annual uh open and public meetings act training and network security with uh and then the conflict of interest and ethics statement training as well which hopefully we've all signed or filled that out and turned it back in. So there was two of them by the way. Did you guys know that there was one that was like a electronic online one? And so uh we're going to start with uh internet security, aren't we Royce? And we've got our IT director, Royce Wilkerson, here. Once he has done and satisfied all of your uh questions and uh uh and you understand then we'll move on to our uh city attorney Nicole Codle that she'll present our open public meetings act training as well as conflicts of interest and ethics. All right, Mr. Wilkerson Royce.

Well, thank you and thank you council for having me for our annual training on internet security awareness. Um, what is internet security awareness? It's educating users to be the first line of defense in cyber crime, cyber attacks, and you do this by adopting safe habits when you're using your computers and doing things online. So, the goal is to enable you to prevent data breaches, identity theft, financial scams, both for work and for you personally. Um, cyber crime in general terms is criminal activity that's done using computers over the internet. The cyber crime accounts for 10.5 trillion dollars in annual loss to organizations and individuals resulting in obviously massive gains for the criminals that are doing it. So, um, a few of the things that are going on is scams and extortion. We see elaborate scams and tricks that they're using anywhere from fishing to email, phone, voice, texting scams, social media scams, um, holding data for ransom, ransomware attacks, and and obviously they're expert at money laundering and and getting the the funds out of here. We're also seeing that there are groups emerging that are now offering hacking as a service. So, you can actually go to their website and you can pay for them to hack somebody for you. They'll set up the entire hack. They'll deploy the ransomware if that's the way you're going.

Um, I actually might have one on the the sample.

We'll see. We'll see later on in the presentation. I don't have a lot of time to get through it. So, let's roll. Um, online marketplace. So, There's places where you can go and purchase software for hacking. So you don't really need any skills anymore to be a hacker these days. So anybody can do it. You just need an app. You need something you can download and deploy. And so that's happening. It's very easy for these criminals to deploy these things now. So on a small scale, you know, your average teenager could do this. A bigger scale, you're talking organized crime groups that are doing this, nation states that are doing this. Um, you can go online and you can purchase new identities complete with social security numbers and birth certificates for about 15 bucks on the dark web. Uh, social media accounts, email accounts if you want access to those and then you can use those for fishing attempts and so forth. So, there's a whole market out there for cyber crime. Um, some quick statistics. So, malicious hackers are attacking computers and systems at a rate of one attack every 36 seconds. Um, fishing is still the number one type of threat that's involved in data breaches and the number one avenue for malware and ransomware attacks. That's why we do our fishing test. That's why we're training the guys and and our employees on this kind of thing. 600,000 social media accounts are hacked daily and then they're used for fishing over those social media platforms. They're posting links on the social media platforms. User downloaded malware is responsible for up to five million attacks per day. And then one in 14 programs that you download from the internet are actually infected with malware. So you got to be very careful where you're getting your software from. And then one in eight websites are distributing malware. Some of them unknowingly. They're just legitimate businesses that have no idea they've been hacked. And so a portion of their site is being used for malware distribution. There's a lot of scary stuff out there.

And here's some of the costs to an organization. So the average cost of a data breach in 2025 was $10.22 million in the United States. That's up 9% from last year. Um the average cost of a data breach for an organization the size of Brigham City is still around 2 $2.74 million. The cost per customer records stolen in the United States averages between $200 and $240 per record. So if you have customer data that's gets taken, that's kind of what it costs to do fraud protection and all that stuff you have to do for your customers. Um ransomware is involved in 30% of malware security incidents. I actually think that number may be higher. That statistic is a little old. Um according to the FBI, ransomware crimes cost Utah businesses millions of dollars per year. So we're still seeing that and it's increasing as time goes on. Um, common criminal techniques are ransomware, fishing. Um, does anybody not know what fishing is? Okay. Fishing. PH. So that there's a lot of varieties of fishing, but basically it's it's trickery. It's extortion. They're using email, voice services, texting, social media accounts to get a user to do something. Give away information, click a link, download software, all the above. So, invoice scams are another one. We've seen several attempts on Brigham City for invoice scams where we get fake invoices that they're wanting us to pay. So, we've got to be aware and know what we're paying and what we're not paying. Uh, payroll hijacking. That's getting those all the time to our payroll coordinator saying, "Hey, will you update my banking information?" Is Ryan Smith, I need to get my banking information updated so that my next

payroll check goes the right account. So, we have a policy obviously to call the person and talk to them say, "Hey, did you send this before you make any any updates?" So, but we see those type of scams all the time. fake link fake links and websites, malware, mal advertising, which is just malicious advertising online. You click an ad or something like that and it results in malware. Tax return fraud is still a big deal. I always tell myself, I file my taxes as early as I can in February because your social security number can be used to file your taxes by somebody out there. Does anybody in this room know for sure your social security number is not out there on the internet? We don't know, right? We know Equifax lost 143 million social security numbers a lot. So, chances are it's out there somewhere. It's whether or not it's being used for this type of fraud. So, I always try to file my taxes early. Um, ransomware. So, here's your example, mayor. In this ransomware ransom note, it actually advertises their service. Can barely see it, but it it says, "All your important f files are stolen and encrypted. Here's how you're going to be able to contact us. Look in this file in this encrypted folder." And then it also says, "Would you like to earn millions of dollars? Use our software to do that." Right? And so they're advertising on top of that their services to do ransomware attacks on other people. Um this is a new one from SOFO. So that's that's your spot right there. So um they're typically they're so organized now that they basically have customer service representatives set up. They're ready to chat with you, negotiate with you. They

have finance guys that know exactly how much your organization can bear spend. um they do their research before they usually do these attacks. So, they have a pretty good idea of what they're going to ask for and what they're going to negotiate down to get money out of you in a ransom attack. Um ransomware is usually a two-fold thing. So, it's they they do get on your systems, they get access, they move through your network, and then they ultimately gain permissions to extract your data. So, not only are they encrypting your files, they're extracting your data out your network. And so, when you go on and you're working with their customer service people and you say, "We're not going to pay them." They say, "Well, that's fine. We won't give you the the file that will decrypt your your important data, but we will release all of your customer data onto the internet if you don't pay us this much money, right?" And then they'll send you sample data of that to prove that they have it. And so it's a it's kind of a double extortion anymore when it comes to ransomware. It's not just about locking up your important files. It's also about releasing your data to the internet. Um so how can you guys help? Um this is just kind of the education part of this. So understanding what fishing emails are. city is always sending out fishing tests and and I think that's good training for our employees because it keeps us honest and we we're watching for those things and and we're learning about fishing. And I'll have a couple examples in here about that, too. But don't be gullible. Don't fall for scams. If something seems like it's too too good to be true or it seems off a little bit, it's better to ask, you know, IT person or somebody else verify rather than falling for whatever the scam might be. Built safe

web browsing habits. Pay attention to details. Don't store passwords in your web browser. Lock your computer when you leave your desk or don't leave your computer open where other people can get to it. Um, keep your software and anti virus up to date. and then set strong passwords and always use multifactor authentication whenever it is available. So, email accounts, all the things that hold your personal information that somebody could go and reset passwords with, make sure you have multifactor turned on. Almost everybody offers it now. Make sure it's turned on. We try to do that with everything we can at the city. So, that's when we do the dual push thing. you guys are are having to verify that it's you when you're logging into something. Here's some password examples, right? So, bad password looks like this. Bad better is adding some uppercase, some numbers, and some symbols. And best is as long as you can make it with all of those things, right? So, uppercase, lowerase, symbols, numbers, the longer you can make a password is what we've found is the best. So even good phrases anymore can be hacked pretty quickly. They're like the longer you can make it, it's the best. So um here's a fishing example. So this is this is a very easy fishing example. Get this email and it says your wireless bill is ready to view your customer. Here's your monthly bill. Here's what it costs. There's a few things that are coming up in here as you're seeing this email here. Customer, first thing I notice is it's not addressed to me, right? It's addressed to customer. So, if it were my deal, they would know who I am. You would typically address it to me. Um, the balance is typically a scare tactic. They use scare tactics to get you to act quickly. You could go,

"Oh my gosh, I didn't know I spent that much on my cell phone bill this month. I need to check that." And then the third thing is just these links. So, right, there's a lot of links. When you click on those links, they're going to take you somewhere. You hover over the links, you can see where the link's actually going to take you. And if you look down in the bottom there where it says a little link in the box, that's what it looks like when you hover over the link. And so, you can see it's not going to AT&T's website. It's going to malex.k or whatever that is. And then off to the right, this is just more for education purposes, but Brigham City actually scans every link before you click on it. And we append this part that says link.edgepilot.com. That section right there is appended to the link every time. So that when you click a link, it actually goes to a service and scans it first for malware and then it passes you to the website if it's clean. It's not foolproof, so you can still get a bad link that way. But I just want you guys to see that. See the where the real link is going. You have to kind of go past that thing that we put on the front of it, protect it. So, um, this is a real life example where we had an employee of the city send an email to another employee asking them to pay a bill right away. and and it even has the from it says person's name and the email address and and so the person who received it thinks, "Oh, I have to pay this bill right away." Um, but a few things stuck out to them. On a Brigham City email, you're going to see that little yellow bar that says caution on your email. That shows up anytime the email is coming from a non city email account. Right? So that was the first indicator on this one that hey this isn't real. And so she looked up above and she saw that if you go to the very very top it's

hard to read I know on this but it says from and you go all the way to the right you'll see where the real email address is and it's like can't even read it from here but rbl.comx is where it actually came from. It didn't actually come from a Brigham City address, but they mimic a real Brigham City employee. So, fishing attempts are getting pretty elaborate. You have to be very diligent in what you're looking for. So, always look for that caution thing. If you see that, then you know it didn't come from a city employee. That's the first indication. Came from a city employee. It won't have that caution. This came from an outside. Um, fake websites is something to look for. So websites are very easily mimicked. There's tools out there that you can download an entire website in a matter of minutes and republish it as your own website. And so what hackers will do typically is they'll take a website that's real. They'll copy it and then they'll send their link out in those fishing attempts and emails. And so you might get an email from a bank and say, "Hey, this is my bank. This is your bank. There's been some fraud report. You need to log in and verify something. So you click the link, you're taken to a fake website. So if you look on the one on the right, it says fakebank.com, right? The URL doesn't match the real bank. And it typically doesn't, but it looks the same. So they try to trick you by you putting in your username and password and you might get an error message that said failed to log in and then they redirect you back to the real bank website. You log in. you're never the wiser. But in the background, they collected your credentials for your bank account, right? So they got your login information. So that's another big one. Mal advertising. This was a this was something that actually happened here at Brigham City where we downloaded malware to one of our computers and it was somebody did a

Google search for Amazon and they clicked that first link that says add right there. My advice to everybody is never click the links that say add or sponsored. Okay? They're not they're not real links. And somebody paid for an advertisement that looked identical to the Amazon advertisement. And Amazon this you could probably 90% of the time click on that. It really does go to Amazon. They pay for that too. But somebody else paid for it and they got clicks from other people and took them to a phony website where they downloaded malware and within hours it was taken down but during that time was a malicious link and malicious software was downloaded. So those are a few things to help you guys and get tips talked a lot. Is there any questions on anything? I don't That's That's tougher. So, there are some settings on a phone that you can you can change it to soft click and have the link preview, but it doesn't actually open the link. The setting you can turn on on an iPhone. I don't know about an Android device, but there are some settings on an iPhone you can turn on to have it pop up. You just if you're turning it on and off all the time, it's hard to. So, that's tough. Cell phones are tough. Okay. All I have Nicole. Hey, council. I can be really fast so we can get started with council meeting on time. Um, every year we're required to have open and public meetings back training. We uh like to do that in this

format so that we can report adequately to the state. There is a uh there is a video that the state auditor's office has produced for us to watch which encompasses all the requirements. So we'll watch that really quickly. It's very short and very straightforward um and very simplified. And then there just a couple of additional things that I'll speak to with regards to that uh once the video is over. So, what is the Open and Public Meetings Act? The state law that ensures government actions and deliberations are openly conducted. Before we continue, keep in mind that this video is an overview and exceptions may exist based on your entity types. We focus on local government, not state requirements. When in doubt, read the law and consult with your legal counsel. But what's considered an open and public meeting? When a public body quorum, also known as a simple majority, needs to discuss or act upon government business. It includes the meetings sometimes referred to as workshops or executive sessions. Regular meetings, public hearings, electronic meetings, and emergency meetings are all open and public meetings. Open and public meetings don't include chance or social meetings. Public hearing is a type of open and public meeting where citizens have a reasonable opportunity to speak. Public hearings happen when a government adopts a budget, imposes or increases taxes or fees, or transfers money from an enterprise fund. These meetings have extra notice and posting requirements and won't be addressed in this video. An electronic meeting is a type of open and public meeting that's convened electronically, such as via phone or the internet. Remember, the governing body must adopt a resolution, rule, or ordinance allowing and governing electronic meetings. HTMA adds additional requirements, too. An emergency meeting may be held to discuss an urgent matter due to unforeseen circumstances. In order to hold the meeting, the best notice that's feasible is provided of the time, location, and

topics to be considered.

An attempt is made to contact all governing body members and governing body majority approves the meeting. An open and public meeting may be closed to discuss any of the following person's character, competence or health, collective bargaining, litigation, certain real property transactions, including any form of a water right or water shares with specific restrictions, security personnel, devices or systems deployment, investigations of criminal misconduct, and private or protected information for the Utah Procurement Code, including trade secrets. Closed meeting may be held only if a quorum is present and the meeting was properly noticed. Twothirds of the governing body present at the meeting need to vote yes to close a meeting. Quick math lesson. 2 / 3 equals 66.7%. Let's say your governing body has five members present at the meeting. If three out of five members vote yes, that equals 60%. Which is not equal or greater than 66.7%. which means you're one member short and would need four out of five members to vote yes. During a closed meeting, a governing body can't interview someone applying to fill an elected position.

Just filling a midterm vacancy or temporary absence. Discuss the character, competence, or health of a person whose name was submitted for consideration to fill a midterm vacancy or temporary absence. Prove any ordinance, resolution, rule, regulation, contract, or appointment. or take a vote, unless it's a vote on a motion to end the closed portion of the meeting and return to an open meeting. When a governing body closes a meeting, the following must be publicly announced and entered into the minutes of the open meeting at which the closed meeting was approved. The reason oral reasons for holding the closed meeting, the location where the closed meeting will be held, and the vote of each member of the governing body, either for or against the motion to close the meeting. If a closed meeting is discussing a person's character, competence or health or security personnel, devices or systems deployment or several other exceptions mostly related to state bodies or project entities, no recording or minutes are required. However, the presiding member needs to sign a sworn written statement stating such. If the closed meeting is held for any other reason, the recording must be made which includes date, time, and place of the meeting, names of members present and absent, and names of all others except where disclosure would infringe on the confidentiality necessary to fulfill the original purpose of closing the meeting. Regular open and public meetings require 24 hours notice. Public notice includes the meeting agenda, date, time, and place. Public meeting agendas need to include reasonably specified topics to be considered. Each topic listed under a separate agenda item on the meeting agenda. Governing body may not consider a topic in an open meeting that wasn't on the agenda.

If a new topic not on the agenda is raised by the public during an open meeting, the governing body may discuss the topic.

However, final action may not be taken on the new topic during that meeting. H. Additionally, entities holding regular meetings scheduled in advance over the course of the year need to provide annual notice of the entire year's meeting schedule. The notice must include date, time, and place for each meeting. The notice is posted on the public body's website in a public location such as the location where the meeting will be held and on Utah's public notice website in accordance with Utah code 63G-30-102. Typically, posting on the public notice website is done by the records officer, recorder, or clerk. However, it's the governing body's responsibility to ensure notice is provided. State archives has prepared a training manual and quick guide for owners and posters, as well as training videos that can be accessed at their website, archives.utah.gov. Written minutes and a recording are kept of all open meetings. Written minutes include the date, time, and place of the meeting, names of members present and absent, substance of all matters, names of citizens providing comments, substance of the comments provided,

any information a body member request to be entered into the minutes or recording,

and a record by individual member of each vote taken. body with elected members must record each vote list format by category for each action taken by a member including yes votes, no votes, and absent members next to each member's name. The recording must be a complete and unedited record of all open portions of the meeting from beginning to end be labeled with the meeting date, time, and place. All or any part of an open meeting may be independently recorded by any person in attendance. The recording does not interfere with the conduct of the meeting. Pending minutes means written minutes of an open meeting in draft form subject to change before being approved by the public body that held the open meeting. Pending minutes must contain a clear indication such as a draft or pending watermark governing body hasn't yet approved the minutes and that the minutes are subject to change until the public body approves them. Approved minutes means written minutes of an open meeting approved by the public body that held the open meeting. Entities must establish and implement procedures for the public body's approval of written minutes. Public meeting pending minutes, approved minutes, and recordings of public records under grandma. Any individual who publicly presents information relating to an item on the public body's meeting agenda must provide a copy of the information for inclusion record. Make pending minutes available to the public within 30 days. Within three business days after approving written minutes of an open meeting, make approved minutes and any public materials available at Utah public notice website, the entity's primary office, and the entity's website. In three business days after holding an open meeting, make an audio recording of the open meeting available to the public for listening. Okay, great. Thank you. That is the conclusion of the training. Um, are

there any first are there any questions on that or any questions you have about open a public meeting? Council, anything.

Okay, we are going to see if we can post that on our app. Brings to the app. it's available to public so they know training that we go through and so that they can understand the open public meetings act we don't know whether we can or not though right so we'll find that out and we will but we've been through it and so we hold each other that standard pretty good we're really good at it so especially with Nicole here make sure that we're above board so thank you Nicole I appreciate that.

Very good. Mayor, I might suggest that our next topic maybe be pushed to a next meeting. It's a little bit the the rest of the training portion. We can push push that next one. It's not a time. It's not a timed issue. We don't have to do it in certain time frame next time. Do you have a problem pushing the conflict of interest and ethics statement to the next council member? Okay. Okay. Right. We'll do it. Thank you.

Right. Our regularly scheduled meeting at six o'clock will start in less than two minutes. If anybody needs to use the restroom, we got you want an actual table motion and do M Mike was off. We know they don't. Let's go in.

This natural.

All right, folks. I appreciate your your waiting here for the under two minutes to get started with our city council meeting tonight, February 5th at 6 o'clock. Uh we just went through our uh partial training on we we did our open and public meetings act training and then our uh internet or network security training. We uh will hit our conflict. It's of interest and ethics statement uh next city council which will be February 19th. And you're all welcome to come and see that as well. I know it's exciting. It's a nailbiter. But uh we will start our council tonight with a thought reading or an invocation from Bishop Eric Olsen of the Brigham City 21st ward. Following his uh his uh presentation, we will invite Council Member Smith, the lead of the pledge of alleg allegiance. Bishop, if you'll come up to the podium. Our dear father in heaven, we're grateful to be able to gather freely, as a community, as citizens. We're grateful for the blessings that you pour out upon this city, city, and nation. Father, we ask a special blessing that you might provide moisture, rain and snow that we need so dearly for this valley to sustain itself. We ask the blessing upon this council. These people who have volunteered to serve the public to seek out those things which would serve us and our be best interest. We're grateful for the freedoms that we have in this country. Please bless us that we will

treasure them, that we will be able to do those things that would maintain this freedom in this country. We say these things in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Amen. Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, please stand. It's our flag. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Thank you, my friend, Bishop Olsen, and my other friend, Council Member Smith, for starting us off the way I like I think every public meeting should be started. Uh we have two uh items on our consent agenda to be approved and we'd entertain a motion for that approval.

Motion to approve consent items. We have a motion by council member Troxel. Do we have a second? Second. Second by council member Hip. All those in favor.

I apologize the motion passes. Did anyone have any questions on those? I didn't ask. Clarification. All right. I apologize about that. We'd like to recognize a new hire in our power department. Uh that is Braxton Wood. He's our new electronic me metering technician. I also just uh I overlooked this, but uh in the consent items is the appointment of a vice chair of our vice chair to the planning commission and joint advisory board. Uh Garl Waldrin was appointed to that. I wanted to make everybody aware of that and I missed that. Uh we will now move to our public comments and we would uh we would invite those that are members of the of Brigham City uh live own property can vote and uh run for public office within Brigham City city limits. We'd love to invite you to the podium. Please take up to three minutes to publicly comment. State your name and where you live because we do have a public record and it needs to be kept and that way we'll know who is speaking. We'd like to open that up to uh the public now.

My name is Kathy Wood. I live at 1025 North 450 West Brigham City, Utah. I retired as the Brigham City Sexton and former president of the Utah Cemetery Parks Association. As you have stated, mayor, that you're proud of your bot name. I also proud of my ancestors Wood Hadley Rasmmanson and Willight buried in the Brigham City Cemetery. Also my children probably them most of these people in this room have ancestors they're proud of in this room. I'm going to try and calm down. This is really hard for me. A very sensitive subject. I can feel myself starting to stress which usually comes out swear words. So I'm trying to calm that down. I started working for Brigham City Cemetery in 1986 in the parks department. They moved me to the cemetery in 1988. That's about the time I think that your family moved here and bought Uncle Max's business out.

He started out as a young man in the cemetery where I was working. In 1983, JD Engineering came to us and said, "We'd like to put a cemetery computer program together." So I worked diligently with him and the um honorable Sexton and we put together the the cemetery system that you have everywhere. It is now called the generations. At that point it was called void which stood for bring out your dead which tells what generation we came from. We were able to get through a grant so that all cemeteries, even small ones, were able through the state to get this program, which was expensive, and a computer for each one of these little tiny towns so that they could get their cemeteries under control. Myself and six other Sexton put together the Utah Cemetery Association and Parks Association to help these out. We started out with 20 people. I think based the last I heard they were up to 16 something uh cities that are now associated with it. I feel very proud of that. The only reason I'm telling you these things is I want you to know I know a lot about cemeteries. People have come to me for cemetery advice to see what's going on, what they can do, what they can do to help. I designed the meditation garden which I don't know if everybody knows where that is where they have uh cenariums or niche walls. We put that in to save property. There is so much space to put colariums in there for cremation because cremations went up like 30 30% before I retired in 2010. So there was a need for that and I understand that. Another thing that I did was I worked for five different mayors and every mayor I came to I said our forefathers gave us 40 acres for a cemetery. Same size as Provo City. If you think about that that they started

with, we need to look at what we can do to extend the life of the cemetery. Not one may listen to me. So when you come up with an idea, that's fine. But here's the thing. My idea was you can put in mausoleiums. They're called mini mausoleiums. They put 250 people in each one. You can put four of them in that little tiny square yourself of the uh meditation garden. You can put fulls size burials in there. You can do that over and over again because the whole time I worked for the city, I have heard everything about I hate this about the trees on Main Street. I hate this about everything. Never once have I ever had anyone say, "Man, I hate those lilocks at the cemetery." Cuz those are beautiful and they're tradition. And there are other ways to do this. But unfortunately, DJ mayors, I mean, even if you die as mayor, I don't see how that fence is going to get finished. Then we're going to have this half finishedish fence. And I bought that property to bury my son because back in the day when I worked there and we worked six days a week, we could bring our kids in. My kids grew up sitting on my lap digging graves on Saturdays. And when my son had told me when he knew he was going to die from a brain tumor, he said, "Mom, put me by the lilocks." And now those lilocks are gone. And I've had so many people come to me and say, "What are they going to do? We want our lilocks back. They're coming to me. I retired in 2010. I don't have any say in it other than to come up here and say, "You want to extend that road and make that level?" Great. We've talked about that since 1986. Let's get that so it's a flat road instead of in and out, in

and out. Makes it easier on everybody. But put the locks back. Come up with a different idea. Maybe put a committee together that has I know of some retired Texans that have really good ideas about how to extend cemeteries. We can do this without tearing out the lilocks because really I don't think you can kill lilock. I know everybody said they're sick and they're dying. You know how we find uh homesteads in the west but the buildings are gone? They look for a lilac because they don't die and those roots are still in the ground and it's going to be a long time before they die. I'm not saying put them right where they are, but put them back so it all looks the same. Thank you.

Thanks, Kathy. There any other public comment like to have as it doesn't look like anybody's flinching to get up. We will move on with our council member comments if we have any. We'll start with council member Jensen and move to his right. I don't have anything today.

Thank you. Council member Jeff. Uh just a reminder to attend the boys and girls club casino night on Saturday night and support the youth of the community and have fun. Thank you. Mayor prom I don't have anything for you. Council member Chox.

All right. Council member Smith, I was just able to go to the chamber meeting this morning afternoon to March a summit. You that have small businesses want to go to that. That's a good thing. There's a guy that's coming to speak opening casino speaker there. I think you'd enjoy other than that. Hey, I don't have anything today and so we will move on to our action items. Action item uh number one is the consideration of approval of updates to the power standards manual. Um I'm not going to invite Mr. Cooper up. We anticipated that we would have time to get that as we didn't amend the agenda, but due to uh calls down to the state capital and and just busy enough busyness, we weren't able to get it through our legal process of ma of looking at it. And so we're asking the table or the council to table this item and we'll bring it back next council meeting. That would be the motion that we're asking.

So moved. We have a motion to table. Do we have a second? Second. That was council member Jensen. The second was council member Jeff. All those in favor? I. Any opposed? Thank you. We now have our final action item which is the consideration of a resolution declaring certain two-way radio equipment surplus and authorizing donation to Boxelder County will invite Mr. Tom Carter to present.

Thank you mayor. So council this agenda item is regards to so following our procurement and disposal of surplus property in there allows us under the council and ask for your consent or your permission to dispose of surplus property to another governmental entity. We have uh around probably 30 radios that the city is no longer using. uh we were able to purchase some additional radios through a grant program from the state, but we would like to surplus these radios over to the county. Um so these radios are encrypted. It would allow the communication to happen. I think you saw maybe an article in the news journal talking about this. So this would allow the county to not spend that $18,000. Uh they were sounds like maybe they weren't aware this was going to be taking place. So

they were not. So that would allow them not to do that. This would allow the communication to happen between their their deputies and our officers. So, uh that was really quick and dirty. Any other questions that I can answer? Chief Kas would be more than happy to as well. But you know the surplus value radio? Um if we surplus them if we were to sell them

um I actually looked some of these up and they were about $200 a piece used on deals the other day. So yeah, it's not a large dollar amount. Further questions for Mr. Carter? We're satisfied. We'll enjoy a motion. Well, Mayor, I move that we show all that we have for our county and being able to work with them by uh approving the resolution declaring certain 2-way radio equipment surplus not fair.

Thank you, Council Member Smith. Now, I just have to say I wasn't laughing basically at county donation, but a couple of years ago or maybe last year, this was a point of contention, a comical point of contention between council member Smith and our police chief. And that's why I was glad four years ago. It's still a point of contention. We call it radio gate around here. There's there's nothing illegal, but it was sure funny during our budget process. That's why I smiled. So, don't misconrue me smiling over a county donation because it wasn't. It's just who made the motion made me smile. It does, doesn't it? Hey, we have a motion by council member Smith. Do we have a second? Second love to I'm Jeff. Okay. Oh, it does.

Second was made by council member Jeff. He's insisting. Oh, I just love what he loved to All those in favor. Thank you. Motion passes. We will do uh I will do that next county commission meeting in public comment. So, thank you for for that and and I'm sure the county will be appreciative of that as well. We need a motion to move into a close session to consider uh the exchange or lease of real property uh and uh character and professional competence and mis physical mental health of an individual. I think that's only two, isn't it? Knight move.

We have a motion by council member Jensen. We have a second. Second by council member Hip. This will be it. If you were here for the open public meetings act, this will be a roll call going in. We'll start with council member Smith. Move to his left. I Robin's eye. James I. Thank you. We will now move into close session. We thank you all for coming here tonight. Even though it may have seemed abbreviated, I hope that uh it was worth it for you.
