Opioid Abatement Fund Committee - Regular Meeting

This is on. This should be on. This is green.

This is green. This is on. Oh, this is green. I can't see from here. Greetings to everyone. I am Judge Robert Carter. I am the chairman of the KBY County Opioid Abatement Fund Disbursement Committee. Today is August 26, 2026. This is our first-month agreement. This has been reset. Our last agreement was on July 9, 2026. I am just starting yoga. I would like to introduce the members.

Jeff Keel, Lee Nettles, Lacey Brasfield, Rosanne Smith.

Okay, as I said earlier, I am Judge Carter. The first thing in the agenda to discuss is July 9th's minutes of acceptance. When you arrived this morning, the secretary of Mayor Hunt should have kept this in the pocket in front of the desk. I think they are all in the process. I welcome an invitation to accept the agenda. I will invite an invitation. Okay. Is there a delay for this? I will delay. Those who agree.

Yes. Okay.

So, the minutes of July 9th have been accepted. This is the time to accept the opinions of the public. There are a few people present today. Yes. Before we move on to our main discussion, does anyone have anything to say? To the main part of yoga.

I am coming. It was a pleasure.

Okay, let's actually get into it. It's only a few minutes away. That would be our new business permit. Yes. Any new business committee in front of the committee will sign. Yes. What's on your side? This is it. The last time you needed it. The numbers. You didn't get it then. On my side. West Tennessee Director Number. A class. A class nadannilla. Aadha. Aadha nadannilla innu parayum bol, madhiyaaya taalpiriyum illaathadhu gundaano aadho. Oru class nadattan ettra per register chayenam. What is next for you? What is next for you? In olden times, what do you think is next for this year? Our County Card. Manchester Shop. Series Class. Ministry. Addiction recovery. We have other problems.

They have to come close to the podium to talk.

Let me tell you one thing. Kaleb and Mr. McColl have to participate in a funeral. So let them start first.

But we will come to you. Okay. We have plenty of time. Definitely. Okay. Okay. Thank you for letting us in. Some discussions have taken place. I would like to ask for forgiveness. About the billing for that month, I sent it to everyone and now I know. But each one of them did not have a special feature. The other one who was angry with me and him was the treasurer. Let him have his way. The things that we have prepared can be delivered to you. So, Miriam House felt that they had turned things around in every way. She apologized for the defeat on July 15. Yes, it was July 15. Therefore, we have an important letter with us. Do you have it? Can we distribute it? Can you come here? I would like to introduce you. Who is the treasurer on our board? The executive director will be with us. I will allow him to present this. This will help us to reach the same page and clarify all questions. My name is Matt Reed. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of this. Thank you for inviting us to this grand event. In a nutshell, in the last decade, I have helped to serve non-profit organizations that have received great financial assistance. We are operating systems and programs through the United States to help non-profit organizations do their activities well, be responsible, and do the right things. I could not come here at the initial meetings held by Kaleb. I apologize for that, but I was inspecting things in the parliament. One of the things I taught Kalebi was that when you get a grant, you must clearly state what you need from the audience. I saw a message from the committee that had some wishes. I agree that I had the same wishes. So you can make it clear what you want from us. Then you can know exactly what to do and you can give the right things. So, I have prepared a brief and this is just the beginning of the discussion. There is no need to agree to this or use this immediately, but we would like to clarify some of the questions listed on the first page. So, we are making things right. Funds are being used accordingly. I think our main question is to determine the rights of those who participate. We want to make it clear how we will use the money we need. I will say that this is a problem for both the establishments, Beed the Bush and Miriam House, because they are both brotherly establishments with the same goal. How do we identify the people in the program? How do we do it according to HIPAA, HIPAA, laws and federal laws? We have also hired a third party agency called CenterStone to determine the funding for those who come to the program. These are some of the things we have done. We are trying to make this clear. Another concern is whether we are using salary and work programs. Is there anything special about that? We want to make it clear that the programs established by Be the Bush are innovative or new. New documents on employment training and work therapy. Things that are not in place today, they will either be released or started. So those salaries are used for that. So I stopped here and asked if there were any questions. My name is Lee Nettles. Yes, sir.

My question is this. I understood that all the new employees will start working together at the beginning of this. Because you have a business that is in the same state as this. We have a successful business like this. I am talking to both of you. Yes. You both have it. So, even if you are in different departments, you are working under the same plan. We have a successful business. From the first meeting, we understood that we are trying to grow our business for July 1st. We want to bring in more participants. So, let's talk about the participants. First, we have to testify through an advertising agency that has conducted a survey that shows that they have a medical problem.

We agree to that. We are ready for that. Okay, that's your third option, the center stone. Are you talking about that?

The second option would be the Kofi County Nexus. Because we are going to lend money to people who have problems in Kofi County. Now we have talked about the Kofi County Nexus. We are ready to listen. Because some people may go to jail and come back or may be outside. Some of them may have come through a church in Kofi County. Some of them may have a family in Kofi County. But I need to be clear that this is related to Kofi County. Okay, they are on probation through Kofi County courts. Definitely. So these are the two things we are investigating. It starts from there. Now, my next assumption is that when we go through a cycle of four months, 75% of their time will be a test session that teaches them how to deal with their problems. 25% If my percentage is wrong, please forgive me. But I understand what you mean. After four months, they will change from 50 to 50. Then they will change to 75% work and 25% test. That's why when I came here, the first thing I saw in my inbox was that a certain number of jobs were being run. These people are still studying how to deal with 75% of their problems. So my first question was, who is giving the exam? Of course, it's only in the mind. So we have people who are able to do one, two, three different parts.

When someone comes to the program, there are people who do most of the exam. Do they get paid? Not in this grant. The staff that we supervise, i.e., our Chief Director of Operations, and the co-ordinators who started this grant, are paid in this grant. When they reach the second and third stages, they will start working. When they become a healthy person and become a part of the necessary work-based training program to return to the workplace, we need this fund to facilitate those activities and training. So, we specifically need the help of Be The Bush Grand's Thrift Store Manager and the Lawn Care Manager. These are the documents that we cannot pay in our monthly budget. We use this fund to provide them with the necessary tools to return to their jobs in the second and third stages. How many new friends did you get from July 1 to August 1? New people starting July 1.

I understood. I don't have that number, Caleb.

I think we have at least one less person. But I don't have that number in my hand. I am for men. I see five from July. Then you have two. I can explain it. It wasn't part of my plan, so I'm sorry. I didn't know about it. I thought that if they were in the program, we could make a bill from July 1 to Kofi Countinex. That was a mistake. I'm pretty sure about Grant. I've examined it. I think it's only new things from July 1, and I think it should be made clear.

Yes, that's exactly what I thought. Sometimes when we talk, I forget that I'm just a little eye. I have a question to ask. Yes. In the beginning, we talked about this. Then I found a simple sentence. Yes. Now you are my accountant. Right? Let me tell you some things. Let me tell you for sure if this is a practical thing.

Okay. They have been given a certain amount of money for a year. It should be used for new members. That is what we have discussed. So, if someone does not complete it in two months, they will be replaced by someone else. But if we calculate it quickly, I have received this amount. That is 12 months. There will be at least 20 shares. Then it will be 240 shares. Do you understand?

If you divide the first amount by 240, you will get one part of each share in July. It is for everything. That's why we'll give you all the expenses that started with the instructor, travel, rent, and shampoo. If the cycle of three months is not the end of our meeting, you have to submit the details of your expenses to the board. But this is the only email I get every month from the chairman. I have five new members in August. These are their names. These are their copies. Yes. These are the paper works that show that they have an assessment.

Assessment.

Assessment. Thank you very much. So if they get it, the chairman can send it to the board. Everyone is looking. They got five new members. It will flow through that network. That's the cheque you get. Then you are saying that you are not getting it in the beginning. It will be in the final stage. As an accountant, you have to reduce that part a little. Because they will complete it in four months. Then you have to pay the money in the last eight months. Do you understand what I am saying?

This is a question about when money is actually exchanged. Certainly. I understand what you are saying now. Because it is about the salary for the thrift store and the loan care. It will not affect until July 1.

It's only after a few months that we realize it. Yes, this is something I've never heard of before. That's why we thought of this as a suggestion. Now let me tell you. But you can see the formula we want to use, right? I've written it down. We can discuss it later. Matt and Lee and I were talking about this. We want to make it clear in the new thing.

Staff is a new term, but they are not students. So they will be right. No, I understand what he is saying. If a new employee does not receive benefits from the first month of employment, I think they will not receive salary benefits.

That is why we are trying to grow this in the beginning. I believe it will grow. But if there are only 4 or 5 people in July, August, and September, you will not get the full month's payment. I'm not doing it with 12 people. I'm doing it with the number of members. But in the end, if 20 new members come and join, you will get the full month's salary. I'm not coming. I'm listening to what you're saying. If you pay attention, I can figure out how to handle the salary that goes away. Right? But we're looking at a fixed salary. We're looking at the units that each person comes to.

Then when the new person who comes to July 1 comes in the third month, we think about what will happen if we don't submit other documents.

We don't have the capacity to help them in work skills therapy. So, if those two salaries can be distributed equally for 12 months, that would be the only thing I see that needs to be distributed equally for 12 months from here. That is, if it is legal, then nothing else. You can only do that, right? That's what I think, because it would be very difficult for us. It's not that we can't do it, but it would be very difficult. When it comes to auditing, I am the one who manages the institutions through auditing, so I will stay out of it. I will ask, can we change this money somewhere else? Can we do anything to make it more clear? Because we also need clarity. We have to pass the audits. If the Tennessee State comes to investigate us, we have to be correct. I have told the people earlier, if we are seen as bad, you will experience more severe consequences than us. Correct. So we don't want to do that.

What you are saying is, like your invoice, we will take that amount, you will take your entire amount and subtract $13,000 from it, because that is the 12-month salary. Then you have to take the remaining amount and subtract $240, because that is the rent, housing, health benefits, travel expenses. Yes, sir. Then you will get money on the basis of the participant. But you have to make invoices in the way that your people get. And below that, what is on the basis of the participant should come. I think you can do that. I think this is making things more complicated. Why? Why is this on the basis of a unit? I still don't understand. That is, even if you buy a unit or sell it, the money you get will be the same. This, this, this. Or am I wrong? If this is acceptable... You are right.

You are just measuring it.

They will get money as long as the participants are inside. That's what we want. Yes.

We want you to have participants. We don't think that will be a problem. We are ready to change our lines and call everything a share instead of a rental.

Programme. That is, program sharing, all together as a unit. We have no objection to that. Yes, I think so. It will be easier for us to justify. It will be easier for you and us to justify. If you allow us to do that, we will be grateful. It will make things easier for us. Okay, let's ask this question. This is with the board, because we are starting this in September. For example, there are months like July, August, and September. We have to start the first meeting next month about how you spend your money. That means you have already started spending money. I don't know what it is. We don't look at it and say it. We know that there are certain amounts of shares. But we need some money to get to an action level, right? I don't want you to lose a life because of me. Because of us. It will be a problem for any new establishment that comes here. We will understand that. So I don't know how to do it. But I don't object to that discussion. It is difficult to hold a meeting once a month. Because you are spending more. Yes, you are writing checks every week.

Isn't it?

July, August, September means we can make this happen, but it doesn't mean you should stop writing checks. So I understand that. But I think we have the responsibility to make sure that this money is being spent very carefully under the board. Finally, the state will come and ask you why you did this. Then we would say that we could manage it. Because we knew that each party made a cheque based on the state's recommendations. Kofi County, Nexus, they conducted an assessment. If there are 5 people, 5 people. If there is 1 person, 1 person. If there are 20 people, 20 people. But we are ready to implement the program. But if there are only 5 people, we will have to pay the salary. You are spending a lot of money only for 3 or 4 or 5 people. I wish

We want to do this in the right and easy way. Also, we can assure you that you will be able to pass the audit easily and reach the right place. Certainly. We believe that we are ready to accept the responsibility of being lucky. If that is satisfactory and easy for you, we can do that.

That's what I think is more important to me. Yes, I agree. Auditors will definitely be more aware of that.

I agree. No, that's what I want. Because next year, when we get back to this state, I want to show you that we are in a good position, that our relationship is strong, and that we have done what we said. Everyone needs to understand how to act. Okay. As I say in all meetings, we understand that this is disappointment and that the goals are changing. But we do not intend to change the goals. We have not received any instructions from the government about how to do these things. They said, hey, do this. This is money. We are trying to find out how to do this. This is the first grant. At the same time, I have also helped other organizations through this. We have the permission to send the amount you requested to the units you described for our 20 members. We are happy to do that. I would like to recruit people who came to July 1st.

As we intended, we can go ahead by giving them invoices.

My suggestion is that we don't have a problem with investigating the people's identity and details. But now, according to the HIPPA, HIPPA laws and our federal laws, names cannot be made public. But we can give the ID number.

That's enough. Yes, we understood that. Yes, we discussed it earlier.

Okay, if all this is correct, which is the best way for us to fix this?

Is it possible for us to determine the things we discussed through Rekha, or is it possible to make it clear in the future? I think we have to make sure what that unit number is. I would be happy to deliver it by Friday or at least by Monday evening. Yes, if we get a unit number, things will be easier.

The chairman will email it, and he will send it to the board. Yes, we have a internal protocol to provide information to everyone. This is a public institution, so it is a very important thing. So, please feel free to email it to us. Okay, that's good to hear. I don't want to have any issues related to the Sunshine Act. Okay, that's good to hear. That's enough.

There are some important things in the Karada Rega that I have given. Especially about the nexus points. Can you explain a little bit about that? This is in the fourth part of the second page. About stay, work, food, sharing in the church, etc. These are the four nexus points that we felt were possible. They should be living in Coffey County as far as housing is concerned. The relationship with the criminal justice system. That is, whether it is a permanent case or probation. Yes, that's right. I think we are in the middle of our grand ideas. It is possible to hide it. Yes.

If you look at the job part here, if you take them into the program, they will naturally become a part of a business.

They will become partners in the business. That is a natural relationship, a nexus. There will be at least one participant in this. Of course, the other three will be suitable for them. Most people will get two or three points out of this. Yes. My question is this.

Can a job be counted as a nexus? Because it is something that happens on its own, right? Can it be counted as a nexus only because of the start of a job? That is, even if you bring someone from California who has no relationship with you, they won't get this nexus, right? Will it be counted as a nexus? Lekshyam is related to this place.

If they are trying to recruit people. Yes.

If they are working in this county and contributing to the industry, would that be a nexus? I don't know. It would have been good if they got some guidance on that. In my opinion, if they are working in this county, they have a relationship with Kofi county. That is, before they started working in this county, did you have any connection with them? I doubt that you mean that. When we submit documents to the state, not only do they have a job, but they can also show other things properly. That's one more thing. Let's show it as an example. If the committee agrees,

criminal justice is also included. We can count it as a job. If there are volunteer activities in the county or if there is a relationship with any school, at least two scholarships can be granted. Thus, it does not become just a work program. It would be good to include whether there are family members in this county. This is a birth. Kudumbamana. Ade. Sheri. Ade. Ade.

They don't go back to the old places. So they need to make an effort to make it happen. This is not just a job. This is a real job skills experiment. We wanted to make it clear. Are most of them in the middle of Tennessee? Do you have a social media account? Our people are working now. Until now, this is happening very quickly in this community. On the basis of our discussion, I would like to make another statement on how things can be done. I believe that this is a promise for both the institutions. I believe that both the institutions will have the same protocol. Yes, sir. We are making specific rules to ensure that there is no isolation in the grant funding. There will be no isolation when funding is received from other counties. It will take some time to do all this. We see it as a prelude and we act on it. So know that this is a prelude and we are acting on it for both of us. So far you have been acting on your own events. It is clear that you have an opportunity here.

This is a good business model.

If we want to avoid something, we don't want to change it like a business. Right? I know this is not the goal. That's why we need these protocols. It will be clear to you. We accept it. There are no differences. What is the nature of the classes? What is the nature of the classes? They gather as groups in the morning. They wake up in the morning and have lunch. It is from 8am to 8.30am or from 8am to 9.30am. They start groups. This is equivalent to inpatient recovery groups. On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, they conduct individual studies after lunch. That is the cubicle. They have a curriculum related to recovery. It consists of about 12 categories. Our first part is close to 12 episodes. We write 14 books. This is part of the team challenge. The first part is through the team challenge. I know about it. Yes, it is very easy. In the second part, we teach the team challenge part. Along with that, those 50,

Thank you. Thank you.

I think it will be delivered now. Yes, sir. Definitely. I think I will get everything I need in this. So, do you think we can make a formula? Definitely. Okay. Yes, sir. Good.

Good.

I am happy that it is done. It will be delivered on Monday morning, right? Okay. Okay. Okay. I will hand it over now. Did you get my email address? Good. I will hand it over to others. I will see you soon. Can you say the name again?

Change the read. Okay. Thank you. Okay.

Very good. Thank you. Yes, no problem. Okay, that's a good way to explain the new business and the complaints. We have some new business things to do from the July 9th meeting. Isn't it 180 degree ministry? Yes, sir.

I would like to introduce you to our founder. How do you write your last name in Aksharamala? Postinus. Okay.

Go on, continue. Forgive me. This is a... ...multi-view. Like we discussed in the last episode, this is the reality. Office space. Very good. So, your intention. In the first phase, it is said to include 12 people. Therefore, our expectation is to establish a relationship with the recovery groups, to make them understand, and to do it. Us. This is a faith-inspiring action. Therefore, This is the best way to get to know each other. This is not an action. We will decide whether this is appropriate for one person through our price process. Do they send people here in the form of a petition with the county? I am not sure. This is not a part of it. What I came here for is one of the most important things. My coach is the one who led me through this. He helped me imagine. Okay, so I'll take a moment to give my opinion on this, but let me begin. In this matter of money, we, as parents and teachers, are responsible, because at first, for the first two years, the funding was very good, but after this year, they have agreed that the funding will be significantly reduced. That is my opinion. So, you know that this is not an investment that you get year after year. So, we need to think ahead and think that we will benefit the most. This will be a great event. But I don't want to spend money on something that we are not sure about. I don't mind helping in the beginning. Because I think this is a good idea. I fully support this. I am the director of a recovery centre. This is a new way for me to send people. I would like my director to be here as well. But he has taken a step and this will be a new way to send people as a part of our work. The reason is that there are now 10 people in our recovery program. They all have individual skills. That can be a big part. But I can't imagine how much this will be successful without you. You don't have the history of giving a blank cheque. Okay, I have only this much to say. If you say it very clearly. Let me say something. Will you stop?

Does anyone else have anything to say about this? Yes.

I have a question to ask. I heard about a class of 12 people.

How many times do you run classes? We run it more than 12 times a week. Then, more than 12 times a week, that is, more than three months, we run a class with 12 people. I think you misunderstood. No.

It would be 8 or 10 people. Okay, but not here.

I want to know how many times you run a class. He is asking about the quality of the class. But it's a 12-week class, right? A 12-week class. So, once a week for 12 weeks. Or once a week for 12 weeks. That's what I meant. Yes, that's right. A new class starts every 12 weeks. But it's a 12-week class. That's a... It's a 12-week class. Once a week for 12 weeks. Okay. 12 hours.

How much does it cost to test the materials? One person gets $300. Workbook and other things are included in it. Then all the equipment and equipment for the teacher are included in it.

Are there any rents included in it? Everything is included in it. $300 is what it says.

This is the breakdown I calculated. A person should pay $300 for 12 weeks of classes, whether directly or not. It can be through funding from the church or someone else. That is the calculation. You will need a license to take classes, right? Tell me about it. How much will it cost? That is also part of it. Now, the churches are providing us with a comfortable place. Okay. Then? There used to be a gymnasium in Canaan County. Is there anyone in Coffey County who provides this as a safe place?

No one is there now.

Do you understand why we have doubts? How much do you earn as an instructor? It depends on each class. Okay. In each class, you take one class a week. There are 12 weeks. Isn't it? Then it is... Adistanaparamayi 1999 pomana, nyangal randa peere vekkun illa.

Chedi.

Oro classilum pangaligalude ennatthe ashraechi rikim adhu. Ningalku pathtu peer undengil.

Muvayiram tinte nalpati shadamanam. Ade, pathtu peer undengil adhu muvayiram dollar verum. Egadesham aayriti munnoor dollar. Alle. Then you earn $1200. For taking a class. For taking a class. That is, $100 for a class.

This is a lot. Let's just take that into account.

How long does each session last? One hour. Almost one hour. But most of them are like an operation. Yes, it is an operation. But it is a group of people. Mostly 3 or 4 hours a day and 3 or 4 times a week. Isn't it? That is, I think it is a terrible thing. I will give you the numbers in these hands. So, last time in the tradition, we got two of these. The numbers of them. 52 people participated and we distributed 33 workbooks. We will give you a fund within 12 weeks.

8.

If it is a place like a veterans building, it will cost $100 per night.

Okay. If you get it that night, that's the problem. Then, if you add $1200 to that, it will cost $5400. The cost of food is not included in that. It is not included in that. So, even if you raise it to $55. Or anything else. You will have to settle down here. It is not enough to say that there will be 8 to 12 volunteers in Canning County. So when I come here, there will be more things. Yes, continue. When you look at the amount you are asking for, if you just agree to it, I will give you my answer. To prove that this operation is very successful, you have to make a mistake here. I can come and show you that we have completed four classes. Yes.

I am ready to allow money for one test run and then increase it. I like the way each unit is paying money, just like we did. Yes.

If each person is given a certain amount, if only six people come, it is enough to pay only six people. You decide if there is anything to do with this operation for six people. Yes, that is it.

Did you get any funding from the Obioid Abatement Fund through Cannon County? Yes. Okay. How did she get it? I would like to know. So, the funding we got from them was only for the scholarship. To close it.

So, so the bonds. These funds are for those who need counselling, for one-to-one counselling or for those who participate in sessions for 12 weeks. They gave us a cheque as a scholarship and we had to do all the other things like marketing and finding a place. We have. So, very.

You asked a good question. Have you thought about how to do marketing?

Yes, we are taking care of our social media. Okay. Right now, we have about 500 followers on all platforms. Okay, that. Tennessee. I came to ask you based on your experience in Shelby County. Yes. Is that how you approached a lot of people? Yes. Through the churches. You're right about that.

But I want to see how this has worked out so far.

Through churches, through recovery centers, and through people speaking Tamil.

But you're getting a lot of referrals from churches, right?

Of course. Through us. West Tennessee's Office Millingdon Baptist Church. It is from that church. So it is a blessing for him. Church facilities and other things. If the program starts, if that 12 weeks starts, can it be joined by people? Or is this a partial program? Is there anything to wait for as the next lesson?

To continue and stop. That's just it.

That's why no one can come after 6 weeks. That's not a thing. Okay, okay. How much is your completion rate? Approximately 70%. That's very good.

Are you making the numbers in Shelby County the basis?

I have a 14-year-old girl with me, along with her foster parents. I saw that. I'm also talking to two other people. They want to use this scholarship fund. Because they can't afford the entire program. But since the funding is very low, they have to find more money to complete the program. Scholarship money can only be used for that. But one-to-one coaching can also provide a full scholarship of 12 weeks. How long has this been going on in Shelby County?

How long has this program been going on in Shelby County? It's been 13 years. 13 years. Is there any specific plan for this?

How do you move forward in all this time? I need an idea. Who is the leader of that group? He was in jail. One of my old friends passed through this program and died. That's how he returned to his hometown, that is, to Millington. He would go to jail every week. 13 years ago, he met the person who ran this program and they had a good relationship. He went through this program and experienced a big change in his life. That is, he was 42 years old that day. 42 years old. He started a tree service company when he was 16 years old. He ran a company that cut and cleaned eggs and trees. He did that to start an office in Milton to keep it like this all the time. These are the changes we see in people's lives. Is he now the director of Milton?

Yes, that's right.

If we talk about Derek's journey, he was a very suspicious person. He passed through this program. We spend only one hour a week with them, but we do target practice every day. It's about moving towards the goal of life. That's why it's a target practice. They have a five-day target practice every week. They complete it and come and see us. We will test it. This is to ensure that they are responsible and patient. Anyway, when Derek and I passed through this process, he said at the beginning, Steve, I won't tell anyone my story. I love my privacy. That's what others want. That's not what I want. But when he was half, he started to open his mind. He started talking in the beginning. But he started to understand that there was something in it. When the program ended, he looked at me and his wife and said, Friends, I can't do this. I want to help others like the help you gave me. He used his job. We gave him an opportunity. He started working in this field. He started running the Marlboro office, that is, the Middle Tennessee office. He is doing it very well. We are helping people like this. When there is a big change in their lives, they want to be a part of this goodness that they have received. The question is, that is Daniel's journey. God is leading us to this. We don't know. We don't have a proper system. We only know that the need is very great. It is in front of us every day. It is useful for you. Can you tell us how many students can be enrolled in the first class? It will help us. Okay.

You are pretty sure how many students can be enrolled, right? I think it should be 10 or more than 12 students, right? That is... We can do more than one class a week, right?

Of course we can. Yes, yes.

Of course I can. But when classes start, even if it's 10 people or 25 people, no one will come out. I can take several classes a day. If necessary, I can take up to 5 classes a week. If you start a class and more people are interested, you can start new classes every month. We are trying to reach people through local councils, districts, and the police.

They are now in jail. I know they won't come here. Yes, I know they won't come.

That's what our West City director says.

It would be beneficial to find people who went directly to the district. He has made this course available in the jail there. He is also trying to take classes in Tipton County. If anyone can help. I need the help of someone who can take me there. I can take these classes in jail. Take classes in the ports inside. There is a small problem with that. There is a shortage of security personnel needed to take people to jail. Yes, we have a shortage of people in the state. Isn't it? This method will be finalized. Let's go to Vipuli. This can be changed according to the needs of this county. From talking in schools to trustworthy ways, it is in this. There are some drawbacks to this. Not everyone should be interested in religious activities. That's right. Some people who appeal to the Drug Court and Recovery Court say they want this. It surprised me. But the 12 people who appealed said they didn't want religious things.

We conduct such events. That's why we want to tell them right from the start. Hey, look! This program is not for everyone. This is a religious program. This is a Christian-centered program.

Even the people who work from the materials here are like that. We are all Christians. This Bible study group that we introduce to you is a group of disciples. When you complete this 12-week program, you will be connected with everyone in your group in a special way. You share stories and life experiences. You get along with the people you work with. It's a kind of communication. Yes. I think this is a great hope. But I'm curious to find out more about how to start this. Because of my experience with such people, they will keep running until they have no other choice. They will not be interested in things that are believable, because they know that they are not living like Christ. Therefore, the best way to get such people is when they have no other way. That is, they must have a desire. They must be satisfied.

Yes. We want them to be satisfied.

I know you want that. Yes, I do. As I said, there are two types of gods. There is a god you study in Sunday school. There is also a god you see when others fail. That's right. Yes, that's when you really see them.

Yes. Do you know? There is one thing I want to tell you.

I started this ministry in 2003. We also have us. Also, people from 48 states have come to this ministry. Also, we had a time when there were 7 full-time living people. Also, in reality, I started it first. To focus on Christ, It was the first time I started working at the residential Chigilsa Centre which accepts insurance. I am sure. Embo Royal. The second one is still going on. And I gave that person a test. He worked under me and we worked together. In reality, I found him in jail, and he started working for us for five years after we started taking second-hand insurance. So, there are a lot of experiences here, and a lot of experiences here. For the past five years, I have been stuck in the past because of the individual things in my life. Now Derek and Daniel have taken their vows. Now I am ready to live again. They will stand in front of me, and I will raise my hand. But they are here. We have the ability to imagine. The programs that anyone needs and the materials that I need are what we use. We have done that in two weeks sessions. People have been with us for five years. People come from different parts of the country. They spend five days a week from 8 am to 5 pm on a weekly basis. We would sit in a room like this and discuss these things around us with marker boards. We have done this on Mondays and on a single day. I have made this a national event. Therefore, if you feel that you have any special needs that others do not fulfill after getting to know us, we would like to discuss it with you. Because we can do anything. Yesterday, we added another woman. It is a 90-day program for those who are 42 years old. They will have two instructors and a principal instructor. They will work through this process for 90 days at home. Anything can be done, even if it is only for one person. This is a 90-90-90 basis. This is a 90-90-90 basis. This is a 90-90-90 basis because there are 12 sessions in the material. Each is five days in a row.

Can we do a drug test?

We can, but it is not mandatory. But if it is required by the code of conduct or otherwise.

Yes, if it is through the code of conduct, we do it for free. Yes, right. What is my opinion?

Let's give a start-up funding and see how it goes. As you expect, if it wins, we can increase the funding. We see it every month. That's what I'm thinking. Instead of start-up money, why don't we give it as a scholarship? The details of that.

When it's completed. Okay. I agree with that. Will we have to spend?

Yes. The problem is that they will have to pay a lot of money to fix it, right? $300 for the materials. If they don't fix it, will they be able to reuse it? That's the problem. So, how much is a person?

I think you said that, but I don't understand. How much is a person worth? If you buy a 12-week course from a person, how much is that cost? When we calculate all your expenses, $300 start-up, right? We see that $300 for a 12-week class is a good cost. Our personal coaching is willing to like it, so it will cost about $100 per hour.

Yes, for each person.

But for the 12-week course, you are paying $300. Do you know that? $300 is money.

So, for insurance purposes, that's an easy calculation. To understand things, it's a basis.

That's it. That's what he's using as a basis. That's why I think it's good to think about the people who pay for a course. Isn't it? Then he will give us the number of people joining the course every month on the 12th. Can anyone stop in between? We can collect the details after the 12th.

Okay. If this is a success, we can allow more funds. Yes, yes, that's how I see it. I think he meant a class of 10 people. That is, when the 12th week increases, 3000 dollars.

He will come and give a report on the 12th.

Do you think his calculations are right?

It will help to buy equipment for the exam. But they will have to find a way to conduct the class. Then...

I remembered that he talked about the schools. You had two schools. It was not in Coffey County.

No, but I think he can find a school here. I am trying to believe that no one in our country will allow him to conduct the class. That is a problem. Then, the other cost they talked about is the stipend for their examiners. That is 40%, that is, $100 for a class. So, instead of 300, it will be 400, if it's their choice. If our math is correct. I think it's almost correct. So, you need $400.

You have to do that. You need $400 for each student.

Each student receives a $400 scholarship. That's about the same number. That's 4. That's 400 or 420. Yes, I think that's it. So let's take the number of bad accidents and make it 425. So, if we say that there are 10 students in a semester, we will say it as a subordinate. So, if they find an opportunity to go out and if there are 10 students there, I am saying that there should be an email that says that the chairman has 10 students. In this case, we made sure of this place. Then we will be able to know because we will have to vote for a line item for budgeting. Isn't it? Because we are not sure if you will do it or if there will be any supporters, we will not vote for that line item.

I know you will do it. Right? Then, if someone is looking for free aid, is there any solution or way for it? Alan Burnett Yes Do you know Alan?

Ms. Baker, Coffey County Probation Director of Services.

Linda Baker. Linda Baker.

That would be another application. They have come here. They have seen you. Yes. If this is a good option for recovery, as you said, you can also implement it. We can make it work. We'll see how it goes. I'm not sure which program you're using right now, but How is that different from what you have?

To tell you the truth, most of the people in our recovery ward go to jail. Inpatient treatment and any type of outpatient is where you come in.

Then there is the probation. That is that only. That is the recovery ward only. What kind of recovery option do you want to do with them? Whether it is completing the course or signing up, how can we help you to make it easier? Certainly, the primary reason is that they have to make sure that they sign up on their own. Judgy Don Ash is a hard worker. Yes, he is my good friend. Yes, it's good. Tell him that Steve Austin asked for it. Okay, I'll talk to him tomorrow. Okay, it's good.

It's good. It's good. Tell him that Steve Austin asked for it. I'll definitely tell him. Okay. So, Rs. 4250 for each class, right? That's why we pay $425 for each student. If you bring 5 students, you'll get 5 times $425. So, you have to decide how many students you want. How many students do you want to start the class with? But we can pay up to 10 scholarships.

To show that we are proud of that, I'll make an announcement.

I'll make an announcement. I'll make an announcement. I'll make an announcement. I'll make an announcement.

I'll make an announcement. I'll make an announcement.

I'll make an announcement. I'll make an announcement.

Then you have to make a limit of 425 for one student. Yes, 10 students.

If there are more students in 10, we will have to discuss other things. You will be talking about different things. You can ask us. If there are more people coming, you can come and talk again. As he said, we are increasing every month, right? You will always have his email price.

We have faith. That's why we voted for this.

If you send him an email, we can handle it. We can make a decision without a meeting. Can we vote for this? Are we fully prepared for this?

For this, do we have to vote to approve this?

What I'm saying is, we completed that. All the budget-related emails to the chairman, After talking to the board, only the chairman. I am saying that the government should give in. This is going to the board. But this is going to happen at the end of the month. If that happens once a month and we have more meetings, if we don't have a meeting for a day and if we close the meeting, if we send it to an email board and everyone accepts it, if it is only budget-related decisions, I think we can bring a policy that the chairman has full authority to make those decisions after discussion. What do you think, Chairman? I don't want to trouble you, but... I'm out of this, but is there anyone who can justify this? I can justify that.

I need a discussion, but... Is there anything illegal in this? I don't know.

See, this is what makes me sad. That's why I said this to the previous board.

Yes, they always wanted to call me. You know that we are subject to sunshine laws, right?

There is no problem with any of the letters in the form of letters. But we can't do anything without the letters.

That's right. Do you understand?

That's why that email will be deleted. It will be deleted.

I don't want to trouble you by sending you emails. But really, that's one. It's not a mistake. There will be four of them. Because, Recovery or Coalition, Public Defender, Miriam House, Bush, then you will get emails from 180 anyway. But that will only be for 12 weeks.

That's right.

Then the other ones will be per month, but you will get copies. Who are they?

They are the ones who are eligible. We have allowed this for large numbers. No. Until next year.

It is enough to know that there are five people this month per month. We use five times the allowance. That's the budget survey. Yes, we do that. Yes. I thought that you should not come to meetings to make decisions all the time.

So, if everyone agrees that this is an approval payment, I will call them. Right? Yes, that's not a problem.

We can add this in the next meeting minutes, because we look at the end of the month when it is three months. So, you don't make a new decision, just do what you have to do for the budget department. If that is a line item, when it comes to invoices, especially like B.D. Bush, if we say that we got 5 new people this month, it will be 5.5% of the allotment we agreed on this year. There is a certain protocol for this. How much will it cost? We have voted for this. So, all this has been voted for. If you say that you brought only 5 people, everyone will agree. It is not different from 180. They come and say, I have 10 members. You do it with 425 and allow the budget.

I came to tell you that it helps us to be more comfortable.

Of course.

We are not like that.

Of course.

You know, right?

Everyone knows. It helps us a lot. How many people are in our program? How much money goes into it? How much goes out?

The reason is right. Yes, right. I came to tell you that in the end, you are very comfortable. Because we know that $ 300 is being donated to experiments. We can see what that book is. We know that one class is worth $100, right? Right.

Then we know that you are trying to find a place to run the class. That's why. That's right. The other things we requested in the budget were other things that a business or ministry or small business should start. The more you win, the more you will be able to carry out those discussions. So, if you call and say, hey, we have a class of 10 people. If you say that another 10 people would like to join, yes, then we will be able to grow quickly. Yes, that will come to us. We can vote accordingly. Good. Okay. Then, when you look back, when you give us a report every three months, that is, we get one in a quarter. There will be time for you to come and talk about your victory. You have to make sure that this continues and that you have a good completion. Otherwise, we will have to process it.

In other words, I think we can do it in some cases. This is my wish if we give it to them. Since this is a 12-week program, one person can leave after half a month. We can't get that money back, can we? In other words, this is not a monthly payment. This is a pre-paid payment. We are paying them money. At the beginning of it. At the beginning of it. So, if you don't believe it, there is no way to get the money back. Yes. In other words, I don't think there is a better way than this.

I don't know either. There must be a sense of faith in this. Yes. Sometimes they do this in a way that they get their money back. Are you paying in advance? Sometimes you can do that, sometimes you can't.

As you said, we started with 10 people and ended with 5 people. But if you have a problem, even if it's just 5 people, you need an expert there. Even if you start with 10 people and end with 5 people, you will have to spend 300 rupees in advance to buy materials. So that money is a loss for you. So we say that your plan is good. Let's have a little faith. Let's see how the first 4250 goes. After that, we'll decide the rest. Okay. Thank you. Thank you.

I think it's a great responsibility for you to think of your society as a place to act in this team. Each of you This is bigger than I thought.

This is a compliment, but thank you for your work. Yes, we appreciate you.

We really want to help. Definitely. To tell you the truth, when I came here, I had doubts about some things that were going to happen to us. Things like that. Everyone is very self-centered and has good intentions. Yes, yes, I had a little doubt about what kind of things were going on. Yes, I thought everyone was asking for help. But that's not what happened. So, how long has this board been in place?

Our first yoke was on December 2024, but it actually started on the 25th of December.

Okay.

We are still studying. Yes.

Because you are helping a lot of people, this is moving forward. Okay, we have to make our rules right. We are still studying through it.

But we are fast learners. That's all. Yes.

Everything is going on. This is just a general opinion.
