Board of Commissioners - workshop

Hello. 2026 Let's pray together. Let's pray together. Let's pray together.

Lord, our hearts are heavy when we think of all those who are in pain, especially those who have lost their loved ones, and those who are worried about their next salary or next meal. Lord, there are things we can help. We pray that you will help us to help. Lord, in today's evening meeting, please help us to focus on what is best for the local residents, not for ourselves, but for what is best for the local residents. And please help us to do so, even if there are any difficulties. We pray in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Amen. Good. Let's start the meeting. Please stand up for the promise of the flag with me. I swear allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and China, a united nation under God, a nation that cannot be divided, and a nation with freedom and justice for all. Now, I would like to welcome Mr. John Eller County Manager, who has been newly appointed for a while. I'm really happy to be here today. You're finally here. Welcome. Yes, Mr. Chairman. We need your consent and reaffirmation for the changes on page 4. Please say yes if you agree. If you don't agree, please let me know. All right. It's passed. For your information, Mr. Wattman is not here today. He will join us in a moment. Then, we will move on to the discussion with Mr. Kyle Biliper about the replacement facility suggested by County Manager 2.1, which is the first discussion case.

안녕하십니까 Thank you. And here's Mr. Michael Miller. He's in charge of the subletting that we're trying to build an animal shelter. If you need it, you can call him and discuss it. I didn't know how much you'd find out about it. Animal Protection Manager Julie Vetteria is here, too. You've provided us with a lot of information. But actually, the point of discussion today is that there are a few things we can choose from. I don't like to pay for a board without a case, but there are a few options. The design cost of the new animal shelter is secured. But the construction cost of the new animal shelter has not been secured yet. And this is a process that is still going on. As you know, the budget change period just ended, and now another budget change period is about to begin. So, as we proceed with the capital collection process, It is my job to discuss with the board, suggest directions, and give advice. I don't think it's desirable in terms of timing to carry out a full-scale design without securing facility construction funds. There have been several discussions at non-official meetings as well as board meetings about the Animal Protection Agency. So, I would like to briefly report the current situation to the board members and new county managers so that everyone can understand the same content. Well, I'll try to be as brief as possible, but there is a 3-page section of data that deals with the shortcomings compared to the current location, size, and shortcomings of the current protection agency. If necessary, I can explain in detail. Well, we conducted a partial investigation into the spatial necessity planning, in which we analyzed various terms and definitions of the number of animals, adoption, and escape. We used these various variables to determine the size of the animal shelter. We also have to consider the breeding period of the animals waiting for adoption. If you increase the size of the shelter, you will understand that animals can extend their stay in the shelter. We are protecting animals for various reasons. I will not explain this part in too much detail. Yes, of course, dogs that bite or hurt someone are adopted. There are various adoption standards. The current facility is a little over 7,000 square feet, but the required space is about 20,000 square feet. It's a little wider. It's about three times longer. And... The current facility is only one person I know, but for those of you who haven't been there yet, I'll tell you. It's on the Bessie Carpenter, Bitsy Carpenter Road, or General Service Drive, General Services Drive. It's in the household waste disposal facility. The facility was approved by the Chinese government in 1998 and cannot be expanded anymore. We've done all the possible small-scale conservative construction, but the bigger problem is that many people may not know, but we don't have the right to own it. Yes, that's a land loan contract with Concord, and it will be terminated in 2047. Also, it is good to know that other buildings owned by the county down there are also making land loan contracts with Concord. They are all tied together. Yes, that's where the old general service department used to be. They moved to Carvallis Avenue, and while we were buying items and emergency equipment in the warehouse, we bought back the general service building, the green and white building, Man Concord City, and moved part of the transportation department to that place in the city. So? If we continue to secure funds and build a new animal shelter, we need to discuss how to deal with the current animal shelter, which will then become an old animal shelter. So I wanted to tell you this. Now let's take a look at how they divided and evaluated the design of the new building. As I said before, we only reviewed the numbers and block diagrams, not the planned design. We divided it into key functions and divided the additional building parts needed for the office. For example, there are things like vehicle entrances. Currently, we have a lot of things that we don't have. Of course, a lot of things have fallen, but the cost of building a new building was able to get a sense of awareness. The highest cost was 12.5 million dollars, which was a few years ago, and 10% of the reserve cost was included. However, what I want to point out is that if you read the data again, the price of equipment such as FFN, full-finance network, and, for example, the price of equipment such as makeup remover has dropped a lot. Not many parts were included. I heard a lot of these opinions at this meeting, so I wanted to tell you everything in front of the board. I also heard that it is very easy to build an animal shelter. Since 2019, I've been visiting six shelters, and most of them were recommended by Julie, and Michael and I visited other shelters. Recently, I went to a shelter in Guilford County. It was very good in terms of operation. It's not as good as it looks, but it was a little more colorful than my personal taste. However, the operating flow, especially the temperature control, noise control, and the external air intake system necessary for the operation of the protection, were well equipped. In terms of quarantine and animal movement management, it is known that when sick animals enter the lobby, they are quarantined in the lobby and sanitized so that they cannot receive other animals. So, people like me only look at how to keep the concrete, epoxy paint, and drainage clean, but there are many other things to consider. While these conversations were going on, I wanted to see what kind of flow was in the building. As I said, we looked around the same facility. In fact, Mr. Arood Day, Julie, me, and Michael are going to review the 92 photos I took there next week. We're going to look at all the good and bad things. We also started to calculate additional operating expenses . As I said in the previous workshop, if you increase or increase the size of the building, the operating expenses will increase. Yes, that's right. You can borrow money to build a building, but if you rent it, it will be a burden to the borrower. I looked at the basic facility cost required to run an animal shelter on a yearly basis, and it's about $75,000. This is the amount calculated based on the size of 7,000 square feet. That doesn't mean that the cost increases by three times. It's not actually calculated that way. Most of it goes into the air transport equipment that must be installed in the building, such as the air-conditioning system and the air-conditioning system. And the operating expenses for Julie's employees are completely different. So we have already started a meeting and are reviewing various scenarios. The number of employees remains the same, and we are considering various possibilities such as not operating the entire facility or not building it at all. We are reviewing various options, but what we want to inform the board is that we have held several field interviews and meetings to solve this problem. Also, the sub-district. We installed the facility in advance in the Siwon Church sub-district before the sale, and it was a size that could fit enough facilities. However, at that time, I was not a county. I have some concerns about the construction, especially the traffic influence analysis part. The Remikon factory is already on the other side of the road near our site. I remember that I told you about the requirements required by the Ministry of Transportation and DOT or the agreement on vision acquisition. And the building across the street seems to be scheduled to close soon after the contract is signed. Starting a negotiation with the Ministry of Transportation and DOT, it seems that they are trying to create their own building entrance to the location of our building entrance. Once again, I don't know where our building entrance will be. So, what I can tell you is that I'm a little worried about what's going to happen. It's not that we get funding first. That's right. That might affect it. I just told you a lot of things. Based on the questions I'm going to ask you, I've organized a few cases. Then I'll give you the first question of the board. If there's anyone who wants to ask me questions in the notes on the third page, I'll answer all the questions I can answer. All right. Will you continue to plan the new Animal Protection Agency even though the construction fund has not been established yet? Yes.

As you just said, the expert's opinion is that you should not proceed with the design work until the funds are secured. That's right.

Do you have any questions?

I missed the first part. How is the situation with the main government? I heard that Wordpacific and Wordp are trying to find funds for this project. I haven't been notified yet. I haven't received any funding for the project in the main budget. I'm really glad about that. I agree that we can't afford the construction costs right now. So we still have to plan. Yes, I see people nodding their heads. Is there anyone who wants to proceed with a simplified plan in this society? I will tell you the disadvantages of simplified design. I think you will give your opinion to Mr. Patrick, the vice-chairman. Simplified design means that the entire RFQ proposal must go through the procedure again. I will go and ask who you want to make a decision at the selection committee. I will hire an architect, and the architect will hire a contractor to decide the location or entrance of the building. Then you can find the answer to other problems. But if that happens, you may be left alone for a few years without doing anything. Architects are often rewarded according to their workload. So if they come to our project and we hire them, I have to make it clear that the recruitment and recruitment process can take about 5 years. The number of 5 years is just an example, and I can't guarantee that it will happen. But I want to make everything very transparent to them. The building is owned by us, but the building is not owned by us. 맞습니다. 건물을 팔아서 돈을 벌 수 있으면 좋겠지만 그러려면 먼저 새 건물이 있어야 하잖아요. 음. 제가 그 건물 소유권에 대해 질문을 받아넣는데 카운티 소유인 것 같다고 답했습니다. 부지는 확실하지 않아서요. 명확히 해주셔서 감사합니다. 음. 제가 생각 하기 Yes, if you sell the current building and make a loan contract, I think there will be a deficit in preparing the necessary funds to build a new building. It's getting more and more complicated. Yes, I think it will be difficult to loan the building because of the axis structure. It's a structure with a groove on the concrete floor. The advantage of the building we sold to Concord is that I'm sure none of you were in this society at the time, but there's a warehouse in the back of the building, and there's a high-end crane there. Yes, and I think we can use that space to take out the motor. It's probably a place to install traffic lights or use existing large traffic lights. I think the organization that works there will be able to use that space. However, I think it will be much more difficult to use the building currently used as an animal shelter. First, I think it will be difficult to get the proper value. Second, the cost of rehydration will not be much. I don't know how to use it. To be honest, I don't know what to use it for. All the ways I can think of are just different. Because you have to keep paying for the operation while using the space.

So I don't think I can do anything until I find a way to raise funds. And I'm trying to think of a way, but I can't think of a good idea. So I have to stay like this until I know what to do and where to raise funds. I see. Kyle, I don't know if you know, but I heard a rumor that Rowan County used private funds to build a county animal shelter. Is there a way for the county to do that? It is said that they received donations to build a new zoo.

They received donations from the public.

This is the problem that the committee has always come across. For the past four years, there has been a story that an animal shelter is needed every year, but it is not solved because there is not enough money. It's definitely an important problem, but every time we set a priority, 동물의 필요보다 인간의 필요를 우선 씨 하는 것 같습니다. 그래서 자금이 부족해서 어떻게 해야 할지 모르겠어요.

Can I get a personal donation? If there are people who want to donate, why don't you engrave the name of the donor in the protection building?

I've done that before, but there's no reason not to. Yes, and what I want to tell everyone is the region.

I think it would be good to know how much interest there is in supporting businesses with the power of society.

There's a lot of support for ant shelters and ants. If I don't build a shelter, the ants will come to my house.

I'm sure that's what's going to happen. They might even come to my house. Well, actually... I've never done anything for government agencies, so I don't know how it's going to go.

We can investigate that part and deliver that information to the Eller County Manager. Then the Eller County Manager can decide whether to report the information again or process it in another way. Yes, please tell us. Yes, there are so many different models.

Some counties raised their own funds, some counties sought creative solutions through private cooperation projects, and some counties raised funds. Therefore, the overall situation is very diverse. If the problem remains the priority of this society, please remember that we will discuss the priority of capital improvement projects in the next year's budget reform process. What Mr. Kyle is telling you tonight is that you must use taxpayers' taxes responsibly until you secure funds. I think you all understand this point. But that doesn't mean this business is not necessary or not important. This means that this problem must be continued. Mr. Chairman, we will continue to face difficulties in raising funds until we find a solution to announce the news to the public. Then, Ji-hyeop.

What is the procedure to attract attention to see how much support can be received in society? What should we do in this situation?

With the advice of all of you and Mr. Bilpo, we will be able to discuss what difficulties we have faced, how much it costs to carry out this project, and how it can help the local community. We also know what kind of funds or subsidies are available. We would like to hear this information. If anyone knows that there is a chance to do creative and unique work like Rowan County, or how other counties have successfully built and operated public-private partnerships with other agencies. I think I can try to continue to study what options there are in a situation where there is not enough money. As you know, we are looking for a model case in many programs every day and looking for the right direction for us. Mr. Patrick, I wasn't there when the study was going on.

I think the animal-related part was quite professional. Did the design company proceed and they presented this result? Yes, the architect conducted the study for you and presented a 12.5% budget four years ago. I see this as a 6% increase every year. And as you said, the budget did not include any other costs such as the makeup studio. I looked at some of the items and there were some parts that fell. There were fire equipment, furniture, equipment, etc. Yes, and it was definitely a space necessity evaluation, so I don't belittle the report. But to judge the person in charge, when the report was to be written, we did not own the property. So what I can tell you right now is that most of the parts related to the Tumok construction are abstract. What I mean is, first of all, let's take the property apart and think about it. There are some concerns about the Remicon factory. There's a lot of silica floating around. Do you think it's a suitable environment for animal facilities as well as human facilities? Yes, we bought the facility and came in. Yes, so? In my opinion, if you are trying to get a subsidy, it would be better to consider only the planning stage and stopping it. And perhaps, without going through the RFQ process, they will employ a lawyer or one of the companies directly. You will be able to receive a substandard plan and a basic fee. Then, with that substandard plan, you can negotiate with people across the street and ask them not to make an entrance on the opposite side of our entrance. Or you can find out if it's impossible at all. And if you show it to the local residents with that fee, people will be interested. This is what we're planning. But we're short of funds, so it's hard to execute. You can stop the discussion. I agree with everything you said about where we're going. However, we can't tell you that our county's Minibrooks exemption limit is limited to $50,000. So, as you said, other counties have made a decision in front of the committee to decide on the Minibrooks exemption standard. The Minibrooks exemption is a system where you don't have to submit an RFQ request, but the standard is set much higher. But I don't think it's being delivered properly. You can just get a Minibrooks exemption. The standard is $500,000, so it's going to cost more than $50,000. I have to go out on the field and do some more investigation.

But with the design budget, that's...

I think we can handle it. That's how it is.

I think we have to do that.

That's why I'm here.

If I don't hurry up with the capital improvement plan, the CIP, For example, there's a CIP that replaces the Franklin Park playground. I already have a record of the related company. That's what we have to do. There's a budget. But this plan has been left behind for six to seven months. Why isn't this plan going at all? The reason I don't want to move is because I don't have the capacity to replace the entire building. I don't want to say, I don't want to hurry too much. So this is the direction I want. And as I said, we need to understand the board of directors to decide which company to hire as we proceed with the proposal request RFQ procedure. When considering the words of Vice President Patrick, I would like to say the following to the board of directors. When writing the proposal request RFQ, we will suggest that the range is limited to the concept of design, construction, and sub-evaluation, and that the number is not guaranteed when the rest of the construction is carried out. Of course, I will express it in a more complete way, but that is the core. Mr. Waterman.

Will it be possible to vote on the residents' decision after two years of construction? Is there a restriction on the issuance of regional bonds? I think it's possible.

Maybe I'm making this discussion too hasty. Maybe it's something to be grateful for that we can have this discussion.

I might tell you again in six months. However, even though we've had numerous meetings and workshops, I didn't want to hear anything like Kyle didn't explain anything to us. That's not what I wanted. How long did it take? Did you say how long it would take? Did the designers present a schedule for the expected schedule in that study? No, it's a person we worked with regarding space requirements.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

Therefore, it would be nice if we could simplify the process without involving too many officials and shareholders. Boss, I think we can reduce it to about 6 people. I think it would be nice to have a private organization to help with the fundraising activities. Um, I have someone in mind, but I don't think it's appropriate to reveal his name publicly. Let's talk about it personally later.

All right.

Would you like to contact him? In my opinion, I personally prefer projects that can be implemented right away. This is because the government can build a building and sell it when Gyeonggi-do is invaded. The price of the building is extremely expensive right now, so if you put the pre-prepared related documents in an emergency, many people will participate in the trial, and not only can you get a discount on the price of the building, but it also helps to recover the local economy. So I personally always support projects that can be found right away. In this case, If you go back to the U.S. and ask for additional funds or consider private investment, I recommend that you at least receive a small amount of money through the City Planning Committee . That way, you can at least upload it online and get the data you can promote. Yes, that's right. That's my recommendation, but since you have already applied the entire design cost to the budget, you may be able to reduce the size.

I think you're speaking in a language that I don't understand. In my opinion, I think it would be better to show the way we think and make data that can explain that this is a feasible design. But you're an expert in the field. As you said, it's common to use a rendering image to show people what we think when we're recording.

And you can look at other counties' models, and you can consider how the public can present their opinions or participate in the vote. That way, you can know all the options. It would be nice to discuss and proceed with Biller. I think it's a good idea.

Thank you for your active participation. Yes. Then, for the planning and pre-planning, we will approve the proposal of the RFQ proposal request to be issued. Well, we have to finish it before we move on to design development or other stages.

And you need to tell us how much it costs.

If you select a company through RFQ, you will be offered a price from that company. Therefore, this is RFQ, not RFP. Yes, I see. There's a difference. I need to look into it more closely. Yes, it's okay. We also need information on how to raise funds. Yes, good. Let's find out what people are interested in. Yes, I see. Yes, good. I don't think it's going to be easy to let you know what's going on at the regular meeting. In my opinion, I'll discuss this part again later. But if I do an RFQ on circuitry, Is there anyone in the board of directors who would like to participate in the planning selection committee?

Yes.

Good. So, to tell you what kind of work it involves, it means that you have to read more than 30 pages of various documents on the list of applicants. We'll see if everyone can handle it. All right. Do you want to try it? Did I just get caught out of the blue?

Yes. That's right. You're good at this. I don't understand. I think I can do both. I know all these architects. If you don't mind, I'll do both. It's a formal meeting.

I think Kyle can do it. But if you want to hear from us, I'd love to. All right. I'll take both. It's okay to exchange unofficial opinions. Yes. If you're going to participate, I think we need to talk about it in more detail. Have you ever worked with these people before? Good. Then, if we have time to investigate in the next few months, we will give you various funding opportunities and survey results.

Thank you for doing so. Good. Then, let's move on to 2.2 and discuss building a research stage at Rope Wallace Park with the file. Yes.

About a month ago, the chairman attended an independent commemoration event held at the Lopes Park, and collaborated with the mayor of Midland to discuss the installation of a research stage where the current temporary stage is located. I met with the city officials to discuss and figure out what they wanted. Of course, the chairman said that the city had to pay all the costs. And I talked to the city officials. So, The Alps management team, the infrastructure and asset management team, me, Doug Paris, and the Crump market all visited the site to check the direction and scale of the stage. Um, we came up with a few ideas, and it's on the next page. If you're okay, I'm sorry. Excuse me, could you come a little further? Yes, it's okay. I'm sorry. Um, my little memo doesn't fit the collection. And there are a few ideas. Basically, I'm thinking about the positional structure, and I need a back wall. And you want to consider electrical equipment. There's already an electrical system on the roadside, so we're going to have to get electricity from there. What I talked about with Doug Ferris is to apply an exception to the Brooks Act and recruit a plumber and a structural engineer. It's about how much it costs to connect electricity to the area, how much it will affect the water supply in the area, etc. And of course, we have to calculate the expected cost. You will also need an estimate and a budget. As I just said, I cooperated with an engineer on the issue and received a proposal from him. It's not a complete design, but if I connect it to the last conversation, it's enough information to collect funds from the village or move on to the next step. I haven't shared the proposal with Doug Paris yet, but I said I wanted to meet you first. The chairman talked about this case, and I wanted to see if it was okay for me to proceed with this work. We will recommend that the county employees sign the engineering contract under our name, and if we approve this in the Midland Village, we will add the exact amount received from the engineer to the village. This will put the engineering fee under our name. And then, before moving on to the next stage of design approval, we need to sign a certain agreement or a certain agreement with the Midland City on the amount of the stage. There are many things to consider, such as stage maintenance management, cleaning and preparation, roof damage repair, insurance application requirements, etc. This is already a kind of contract signed with the city for the establishment of the Contemporary Warrior Memorial Hall. All the processes were carried out with Doug, and the same type of contract will be signed before the final approval. However, the first thing to do is to determine the cost and difficulty. This problem will not affect you at all in the future. Yes, that's right. It doesn't affect you at all. But... I think the most important part of what you're asking is... If you end up building a building on a cliff, So look at my cool blue rectangular part. If you go all the way across the street from there, This is where the future building will be built. And when that building is built, there may be a fall due to fireworks or other problems. So, if the development of Rob Wallace Park was carried out in stages and then reached that stage, well, that stage was not designated as a third stage, but one day such a problem may occur. I don't know if Byron is here, but the situation changed when we planned the development stage of the park. To be honest, most people will probably argue that the next step is to proceed in the quarry, that is, in the water. However, in order to do that, the height of the wall must exceed the threshold, which will cost much more than the first step and will be an important construction. So, I think it's going to be three steps. When this plan first started, so 10 years ago, 12 years ago, the building in the county. So I thought the building on the cliff I was talking about would have already been built. Maybe there was a small playground or a water playground. Yes, but yes, if that happens, the fireworks event itself will change, but the stage itself will not change. From what I saw, there was nothing planned there. However, I remember that the plan was set up in several stages over the years. So, There is also a stage where we make Mae Phan Thomson Buzi into an RV campsite, but it costs a lot to build such facilities, including all public facilities. Therefore, this stage will not directly affect the master plan or logistics of the event, but if you build a building in that area, I think there may be problems with the current events. Again, we currently have no budget for that part, and it is only secured for a few years in the future. It is only included in the current capital improvement plan, CIP, for a few years in the future. Mr. Patrick, I don't think there is a negative aspect to this investigation. Rather, I think we should share resources in this way and cooperate more with each other between the local government and the county-owned property. The local governments spend money on renting buildings every year, but in the end, they don't get any benefits. As you know, I don't know how long the investment recovery period will be, but it seems to be a promising plan for both sides. I would like to say as their contact person, but they will be very active in solving this problem. The fact that we are trying to solve this problem without ignoring it will be a great help to them and a great encouragement. We are grateful that we are reviewing this problem and looking for a solution. I think the members will be very grateful. Thank you for your advice. Yes, I understand. Then do we need anything? Yes, I need an agreement to approve this problem so that I can solve this problem in advance.

You're a little flustered, aren't you? Then you don't have to do it today, do you?

Yes, that's right. And I have to write an agreement, but I have to include the content that I will not proceed with any construction until the agreement is reached with several parties. And to be honest, I'm not 100% sure if an agreement on engineer employment is necessary, but I wanted to get the support of the board. Because this is not related to our property. Yes, I understand.

Then, I will come back with a better case at the regular meeting. Yes, thank you for making a consent for you. Yes, I understand.

Thank you. Then, I will move on to the first stage of the legislation to be promoted with Chairman John Eller.

Yes, Chairman, thank you.

I wanted to tell you what we're going to do here for the next few weeks. Our department manager asked for your opinion over the past few weeks. It was a story to wait until a new county manager was appointed. So I'm here. So what I did was to explain the context based on what you submitted. There is no need to specify the official case tonight, but we will proceed with the work to determine the priority ranking for the items you submitted. What we ask you to do is to determine which item is most important and which item is less important through the evaluation tools provided with the summary data we have written, and which item agrees or disagrees with which item. We will summarize the results and share them with you. And then we will write a letter to the county committee and send it to the county committee. This letter will be the top priority for the county's legislation. We wanted to include all your opinions in the summary. There will be a lot of good data to read. But we want to know what your top priority is. So that we can represent you well and submit the necessary documents. You don't need any special measures tonight, but you can understand the data and send me the results of the investigation or send it to Seok-hee. You can do it in a comfortable way. But there is a deadline. Mr. Pitt reminded me and I talked to the employees earlier. It should be submitted by August 14th, but this is before the regular meeting. You can submit it to the association. So you don't need an official vote. The items in front of you are what you said are important, and the vice president added an explanation for each item. I know you're busy, but I'd really appreciate it if you could rank these items.

If you want to add something, what should you do? I don't want to make it complicated, but should I share it again and change the ranking? Or what should I do? Yes, any opinion is welcome. Yes, time is tight, but you can modify it as much as you want. I'll tell you as soon as I don't make you wait too long. Yes, thank you. Then,

Please let me know if there's anything you'd like to add.

When is the deadline? What other information do you need to add other than the deadline?

You have to submit it by the 14th. As you know, if you send me the summary data by the end of the day, I can easily submit the ranking. If you send it to me by the 12th, I can get some more time. And if there's anything you'd like to add in the meantime, please let me know anytime. I know you're busy, and I know you have a lot to deal with. I'd like to help you. Do you have any other questions?

Yes, that's great. Then let's move on to 3.1 and talk about Byron Hagler and the policy update. Hello. Yes. It's all done now.

There is no policy update or request, and there is no particularly interesting or interesting content. We will proceed as efficiently as possible by telling you all the changes that were limited this evening. The main purpose of this update is to integrate active life and public policy into a single document so that employees and participants can approach and understand it more easily. Most of the policies included in this document are policies that already exist and are integrated into one place for the convenience of management and public participation. In addition to the existing policy, some operation improvement measures have been limited according to the current use of facilities and the needs of departments. The major additions and corrections include the 501C3 charity grant discount policy approved by the board, the Cavaliers County Education Agency, the Canapa Police Education Agency, Stonewall Jackson, and other government agencies. If you book a Franklin's Park Ban, you will be charged $20 per hour and some of the operating costs will be taxed. At the same time, we continue to provide facilities to these regional social partners. All other active facilities can be used for free. We will also establish an official policy to check the age of active center participants to ensure that only active participants can use the program and convenience facilities. It is clear that only those who enter the Camp 10 Spencer swimming pool without parents or guardians should be over 18 years old. In order to reduce cleaning costs and protect the facility, we will add elements that prohibit the use of colored paper pieces, chili strings, water balloons, and colored powder in the county facilities. At Camp 10 Spencer Park, at least two Park Sook-bak conditions are applied not only in the summer but also on the year-end Fridays and Saturdays. In addition, various policies, including the existing department policy, such as the right to use of the activity center, the food policy, the personal behavior rules, the education and discharge procedures, and the weight management method, have been reflected in this account. This account is to increase the consistency of the policy, improve customer service, provide clarity to both employees and citizens, and accurately reflect the current operating situation. The proposed policy was passed through the review of the Executive Council of the Center and the Executive Council of the Center, and both of the committees advertised the approval in full. If you have any questions, please let me know. Mr. Patrick, do you have any questions? Yes, I would like to thank you.

As you know, we or they have approved. I was in charge of the board of directors at the last meeting, and it was really difficult for them to establish an electric bicycle and scooter policy. Because we can't predict what technology will appear in the future. So I think the way you solved the problem is really wise. Thank you very much. It was a really great idea. Thank you. It is also included in the next case. I will check the next case. Thank you again. Do you have any other questions? Are you okay with the consent? Yes.

Then, with Byron, we will move on to Article 3.2, Article 50. Thank you. The same goes for the Article 50 request account.

The Activity Life and Park Committee organized a committee to carry out a comprehensive review of the 50 Cavaliers County Act. The 50 are regularly revised, but have not undergone a comprehensive review for several years. The revised Act was reviewed by the County Prosecutor's Office to confirm the consistency of the relevant laws and county regulations. The main changes include the addition of e-cigarettes and related products to the cigarette product definition, the addition and clarification of the definition of bicycle, scooter, and electric power transportation devices, and the utilization and definition of the order sheet for consistency and clarity. 1. To clarify the tent and canopy requirements. 2. To provide additional approval requirements for larger pop-up tents than 1EX1E-PIT. 3. To integrate the approval form approved by the committee into 50. 4. To update the text about the large-scale meeting in the designated picnic area. 5. To clarify the difference between power transport devices and non-power transport devices. 6. To clarify that non-power scooters are allowed. 7. To improve consistency and possibility of operation related regulations. We also deleted the overlapping parts, improved the flexibility and composition, and clarified the implementation and operation conditions. The Active Living and Park Council and the Active Living Center Advisory Council recommended a total of 10,000 copies of the proposed 50 proposals. The proposed changes are mainly to modernize and clarify existing regulations, and at the same time to support safe and efficient operation of active living and park facilities. For your reference, you need to delete one of the notes related to your meeting. We will provide the modified meeting log to your regular meeting and delete the relevant note. If you have any questions about request changes, we will answer them anytime. Do you have any questions? I agree.

Yes, I will include it in the agreement. Thank you. Then we will move on. As a result of discussion with the lawyer of the committee, it was said that it would be better to include the amendment from 3.3 to 3.17 to be included in the agreement. However, if there is no objection to the appointment and deletion of the task force committee for child education and education, we will make it a case. We agree. All right. I'll put it all in agreement and move on to the 3.18 case. Hello, Social Welfare Department members Susan Moose and Thomas Mitchell. Hello. Good evening.

We have brought a budget amendment plan to be approved at the regular meeting. Caber Health Alliance, Carbath Health Alliance In the past, we have been provided with a grant called Elevate Grant. I'm sure I've told you before. However, on June 27th, I was notified that the grant would be suspended. On June 30th, I was notified that I would no longer pay a grant to the Ministry of Social Welfare. Therefore, it was already included in the budget for the year 2027. Therefore, we need a budget revision plan to reduce income and other expenses. This includes school uniform management expenses. Do you have any questions? Are you okay? The federal government has suspended the payment of subsidies for the Health Alliance.

I'll put it in the consent. Thank you, Ms. Moose. All right. Now, I'm going to talk to Mr. Matt Love about the 3.19 construction standard approval and the selection of a supply company. Hello. How are you? Yes. I'm doing well.

As you know, the construction standards department is currently conducting office remodeling and is in the process of selecting equipment and furniture. One of the areas for remodeling is the drawing review room. One of the items we considered purchasing was a large-scale drawing test table with touchscreen, and we were looking for a product that drawing test managers could easily move. So, we contacted the project solution company that produces drawing test tables and requested a demonstration. We visited other customs areas and saw them actually work. I chose the product I wanted and got a discount, and the price is $3738.23. So we looked for other suppliers or competitors. I tried to get a discount, but it was difficult to find another company that treated the same product. Therefore, we request you to sign up as a private supply company where you can purchase the equipment.

Do you have any questions? I agree. Thank you. Yes, thank you. Now, we will discuss the rescheduling of the annual budget for the 2026 Assembly with Mr. Brat. Hello.

Every year around this time of year, we will offer you a reserve list. The estimated budget for the previous fiscal year, the fiscal year of 2026, should be used in February as the fiscal year of 2027. These budgets have not been used in the fiscal year of 2026 for various reasons. In order to complete the purchase as planned, the revenue from the fiscal year from the fiscal year of 2026 to the fiscal year of 2027 should be used as the fund for fund-raising or subsidies. The attached file is the re-registered list of the 2026 fiscal year. The list is provided with the budget revision form. Please let me know if you have any questions. Each department has its own department, so if you have any additional questions, we can answer them in more detail.

This is not all of the content submitted to the manager. A few items were reduced in the review process. Most of them were excluded due to other factors such as items related to subsidies or when the subsidy payment period is not in line with the fiscal year or items related to the calendar year. Do you have any questions? Yes, I agree. Thank you, Laji.

Welcome back. Thank you.

This item is very similar to the item I mentioned last month. Of course, at that time, there was no donation to other resources. Tonight, there are two related cases. Yes, I will explain to you. Cavaliers County has been receiving requests for two cars owned by the county from various firefighters every year. The Carver Leith County Fire Department and the Infra and Wealth Management Department are managing these requests as a tracking document, and when the vehicle is secured, we will contact the fire department to see if the vehicle is still needed. Over the past few months, several vehicles have been provided to the fire department, and the Allen Resources Fire Department has confirmed that an in-ear SUV is still needed. I will read the same content in the next request, but I will change it to a volunteer fire station. So I checked the vehicle and sent you a picture, and I accepted it. You can see the included document.

This document is for Allen Fire Station, and the next one is for George Bill Fire Station. That's right. Do you have any questions about this Doinger vehicle? Do you agree with both of them? All right. I'll add it to the list of consent.

Is there anyone wondering when the list will end? I think one of you will ask. I'm almost there. I think it's almost done. I asked you that question today, and I think it's almost done. All right. Thank you all. Thank you for the file. Then, with the evidence, we will move on to the 3.23 Rob budget amendment. Hello.

Today's topic is a budget revision plan to complete the B-ROV business in 2026, which completed the fundraising in July. This revision plan distributes the profits of various projects and reflects the cost of execution in the budget. The cost of issuance includes the cost of LGC fee, income fee, financial advisor, credit rating agency, and local government credit rating agency. And the first amount to be paid in 2027, that is, the amount of interest to be paid in May or June next year, is also recorded. Yes. Um, Larry, would you like to move this into practice?

If I didn't misunderstand, this is just a record, right? It doesn't mean that I approve of LB.

I don't approve. That's right. It's just a record. What did you say? Yes, so I definitely wanted to do it. I have no right to this part. All right. Do you have any questions? The interest rate is pretty good. This is for North West Cavaliers High School. That's right. It's less than 4%. It's less than 4%, so the credit rating is very good. I got a good grade. Yes, yes. Do you have any other questions?

If you agree, we'll proceed. Yes, thank you. All right. 3.24. We will move on to the acceptance of the safety program of Veret's CEO and Jin Dae-hee. Hello. Hello. First, I would like to introduce Daehwi Jin, who was appointed as my successor. He will be the next deputy director. It's really cool. Congratulations. I'll see you more often from now on. Yes. The first case is a case that we have submitted to you for the past 10 years. This is an application for an additional fund for the motorcycle safety program, which is one of the main highway safety programs. This additional fund, which is allocated every year for $5,000, is used by the traffic police to provide motorcycle safety driving training to ordinary citizens. It is a very successful program. So we would like to request an additional fund of $5,000.

and the 3.25 safety program subsidy approval will also be carried out together.

The second item is the subsidy for the safety patrol at Jujisa Expressway. About eight years ago, we applied for a subsidy for the first time to hire two employees for traffic control and education. This subsidy was a way to reduce the annual size. In the first year, most of the salary and equipment were supported, and the annual support size decreased. It was a three-year subsidy. And in the fourth year, two more employees were hired and the second subsidy was received to support the equipment. Thanks to this, we were able to form a full-fledged traffic training and inspection department. This department is very successfully operated, and when local civil servants are contacted by the local community for speeding or dangerous driving, they are dispatched to the site and actively inspect the area. In addition, we are conducting training for young drivers, especially in connection with the school system. At the time, we were In order to solve the problem of high incidence of accidents by young drivers, the intersection with high incidence of accidents. In particular, the accidents of young drivers focused on blocking the crossroads. And they lowered the amount. Well, this request basically gave the government of the 7th year a chance to support the 25% of the salary of two new employees, and at the end of this year, it also suggested that it would support the 25% of the salary and welfare pay of the relevant job. Therefore, to continue running this program, we accept the funds. All right. Members, do you have any questions about the two subsidies? Can I approve both of them? Yes, thank you. Thank you, sir. Yes, sir. Don't go too soon. I want to thank you, Mr. Se-tae.

You have done a great job for the county while working here for a long time. Thank you for your hard work. Oh, I've worked with her on other jobs before, and she's really dedicated to the area. And I'm happy to be working with you. Congratulations. And thank you for volunteering for a long time. Thank you. Thank you so much. Yes, thank you both. All right.

Then, we will move on to the 3.26 Creek Week grant and budget amendment. Not Daniel. It's Abby. Abby, yes, good. Abby, can you tell me about these two items, the Creek Week and the grant application? I only want to talk about the Creek Week. Daniel will talk about the grant application. Abby, please come out, too. I'll take care of both at once.

Abby, can you tell us about Crick Week?

Crick Week is a week-long event to learn about local quality. Do you remember that Subaru sponsored Crick Week for the first time last year? This year, we decided to sponsor Crick Week, which will be held from September 25 to October 3. We plan to submit a budget amendment plan so that we can use the donations. Do you have any questions? Yes, I agree. Yes, Daniel. Yes. Good.

In 2024, we reported to the board for a new program prepared by the North Carolina Agricultural and Agricultural Preservation Department. The funds needed for this program had to be secured by the bond tax and the Ed Hudson Fund. We have successfully applied for it and have received the funds, and we are still maintaining the contract. Therefore, if the board requests additional funding, the existing contract can be maintained and land use rights can continue to operate. Well, anyway, the Board of Directors passed the main budget, and this budget includes $46.9 million for the preservation of land for long-term protection. North Carolina is the second highest land loss in the United States, so this is very important. Cavaliers County will lose more land in the future. So we are asking for $600,000 from the tax fund to be used as funds for the next application. I'm asking if it's possible to apply this year. This fund is a fund set up in real estate that is excluded from the tax burden of the farm. We have used funds for this purpose in the past. Yes. Do you have any questions? No. I agree.

There's a meeting tomorrow, right? Yes.

I'll see you tomorrow evening. Thank you. You may not know that I'm from the countryside, but I think the safety of the camp is more important than anything else. I hope so. Sounds good. All right.

Do you have anything more to add? Mr. Waterman.

Did you receive the budget for the second entrance construction of Franklin Park from the state government? Yes, I did. It's $2.5 million.

Yes, I received $2.5 million.

The reason is that it is not in the will, but it has been discussed for a long time how to pay the lobbyists $4,000 a month. We did not receive any budget for the zoo. We did not receive any budget for the second entrance construction.

The contract with the lobbyist has been terminated, so can we proceed as it is? Yes.

It has not been reflected in the budget. All right. Yes, it has not been reflected in this budget.

All right. Then, do you have any other opinions?

Yes, I will agree to disband. Please let me know if you agree. Please let me know if you disagree. All right. It's 5 to 0. Disband.
