County Commission - Regular Meeting

Very well, we will declare the session open. It is Tuesday, August 25, 2026. Please stand up for the Sermon on the Mount.

I swear to the people of the United States of America and the Republic that I represent an indivisible nation obeyed by God, with freedom and justice for all. Very well.

Have we received reports or reports to be classified?

We have the report of the sheriff of July 2026.

Report of the commissioners, of the liaison committees, meetings and events to come.

I have no meeting this week. I guess it's the last week of the month, so it's a calm period. But we have a busy evening. Friday night, football is back on. On Saturday, Lincoln also has a football game.

Then we have the Capital Crew in the city center for the car show. And I think there is also a car show. Park, exhibitions during the day. A lot of things in perspective.

Today, I have a meeting for the Patriotic Party with our guest.

Contrary to Jeff, not much is happening. Friday, there is a visit for the Doctone Playcom at State Tech, from 5pm to 8pm. Since the launch of the campaign, it's been Friday night at 5pm. I think it's at Capitaine Bluffs. Saturday, I play at Springfield Cardinals. That's all I have. Temptation of the guests. So for the Patriot Day event, Steve Surlock, if you could come here and tell us more. Tell us about it.

In a few weeks, it will be the 25th anniversary of the terrorist attack against New York, the Pentagon and Pennsylvania. Four planes arrived and killed our country. So, in order to commemorate this, the Patriot Day committee organizes an event of four days in the capital of the state, from September 10 to September 13, When I say everything, it's surprising.

It's been four years that I've been trying to bring the mobile exhibition Tunnels to the West, 9 to 11, Never Forget, Home Ever, in town.

About eight weeks ago, I received a call from New York saying, where do you want to come? And they said, well, we're coming to Jeff. It's just colossal. or huge, no matter the term, that this itinerant exhibition is at Jefferson City for the 25th anniversary of September 11 and that it is stationed in front of the capital. Our committee has done an excellent logistical work, but as I said, the fact that this exhibition is parked in the city for 4 hours a day is simply incredible. A little word about it. On September 9, we will organize a court of Kingdom City in Jefferson City with the first aid from the county of Cole in mind to accompany the arrival of the exhibition. It will descend Route 54 from Kingdom City to Main Street and will cover the entire avenue. Central Bank is trying to put in place an operation like Bugle Boy Younger. where people could line up flags along Main Street at the passage of the trailer. I keep saying trailer, but it's an exhibition. The exhibition measures 25 meters long, and once parked, it extends over 11 meters wide. Another major advantage is that it is accompanied by six firefighters from New York City. They were present at Grand Zero, and they will be our guides for the visit. So don't hesitate to come and visit, it's free, there is no charge and it would be great if you could come. September 10 will be the day of the students, the students of the region will participate in the visit of the exhibition by a group of 25 people. This will take place from about 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Then the exhibition will be open to the public for a while. September 11 will be a very important day. We will have a static exhibition around the Capitol from 5 p.m. with first aid vehicles, road patrols, county sheriffs, emergency services, firefighters and Jeff City police. There will therefore be many static presentations from 5 p.m. The program will start at 7 p.m. and will last for about an hour. The main speaker will be the battalion leader, Buckner Labara, who will tell us about what happened on September 11. We will also have Doug West, fire chief of the County of Boone, who was on site with the Task Force One. Then we will proceed to the reading of the names Local high school students will each read without name among the 2 917 victims. The victims this day. So it will last until about 22 hours. But it will be an incredible evening with a lot of commemoration for these victims who fell that day. And then on Saturday morning there will be a 5 km tunnel to towers race at the start of the exhibition. It will go down High Street to Riverside before coming back to the capital. Many firefighters run with their full equipment, except boots. They wear sneakers because it's hard to run with boots. But it will also be a very big day from the beginning. The 5 km start at 8.30 am, then The public will be able to visit the exhibition on Saturday. And then, on Sunday, it will be open, I think, from noon to 5 p.m. Then we'll pack everything and leave. But we encourage everyone to come. As I said at the beginning, it's huge to have the exhibition mobile. Never forget the 11th of September here at Jeff City for the 25th anniversary of the 11th of September. So, as I said, it's a commemoration, it's not an anniversary or anything like that. There is absolutely no celebration. It's a commemoration for all those who perished that day. So if you have any questions or anything else, I know that Jeff City's magazine is preparing an article on it. and other people also disseminate information. So, do you have any questions?

At what time do you want us to be there to shake our flags?

Well, for the procession, our planning is as follows. We will meet at 4 p.m. at Kingdom City and we will leave Kingdom City at 4.30 p.m. towards Jeff City. Now, the only uncertainty is that all the firefighters are supposed to arrive in St. Louis at 11.30 a.m. before coming to Jeff City. The Honork is supposed to be here at 4 p.m. But all this depends on the traffic on the I-70, on the flight times and all that. This is our provisional plan, but we have planned for everyone that it could change. When we had the project Steal Across America, a few Thursdays, they were an hour late because they were driving at 60 kmh from Kansas City to Kingdom City. We were aware that this could be a bit late, but we will do it. And we have fire stations mobilized in Fulton. They will be on all the bridges and we encourage people to do the same. We are going to film and take pictures of everything to keep a history of what happened here in Jefferson City, in the county of Cole. It's a tedious job to do. But I think we will appreciate the result and we will be very proud of the county of Cole and Jeff City to receive them. Do you have a schedule of the events we can refer to? I tried to write everything down. I didn't write down the 5 km race. I was worried. I can send a poster to Harry so he can do it. And then... Everything is indicated.

So...

But... There are a lot of things planned.

It's hard to follow everything.

This weekend, there is also the aerial show, the Saturday show, the 5 km race. And then all the people who manage the exhibition. It's going to be... A loaded weekend, as you said, this weekend will be very full.

But we have a lot of people, competent with us, and we will... We are working on the documents of the order of the day for the meeting this afternoon. I know it's free for the public. It's free for the public. And if it's free for the public, it's because this man right there has managed to collect more than 50,000 dollars so that it can be done It's not free in the absolute, but it's free for the public.

It's free for the public. But we went to ask for sponsorships, and Jeff City and Coal County merchants were very generous, which allowed us to finance almost everything. They will be mentioned in the brochure. Yes. We have included all this in...

It is a true honor for the city of Jefferson and the county of Cole to host this exhibition on this day.

As I said, and I repeat it, it's great that this trailer is here because they could have been in New York, Pennsylvania or Washington DC, where the planes crashed. It was their intention four years ago, but by force, to call them every few weeks, telling them, hey, we're here. You know, they always answered, well, we can't promise anything. But when I received this call, about eight weeks ago, and they said they were coming, it was... We're waiting for your return, you know. So, it's going to happen here, it's going to be really good. So... I just ask everyone to enjoy it. Now there could be waiting lines and all. So we ask people to be patient while others pass. We can handle about 75 people at the same time with three guides. So there will just be a little shuttle and others, but be indulgent with us. And if there is a waiting line, be patient, patient.

Very well, thank you for having managed to do that.

Yes, we'll talk to you later. If you have any questions, I'll send you the file.

Okay, thank you. See you later. Nomination by the Travizda Reconstruction Commission to the Council for Water Treatment Systems Used on Site. All in favor? A comment from the Commission. Would we like to move on to 1709? We could move on and like that we can...

Oh Eric, I'm sorry. I didn't say that, I was just saying that he doesn't have much time left. He's just trying to impose his authority. Well, I just... I know you know what it is, you know, we talked about it last week and I think we have the...

owners and we have things that are proposed. So... Come in front of the audience.

Yes, please. Sorry, I'm not walking very fast. Okay. So I started a meeting with Tribax is coming and he's going to look at the offers for the works with the excavation of Dongshan. He will take care of the debts to demolish everything. We will see if it is necessary to remodel or leave the foundations as they are. So he will do both debts. Probably, however, I'm just going to do remodel. And you know, someone else can either remove everything and build on these foundations. Either there will be at least a base on which to build. I have Brian Kemp. He's been taking care of my gardens for a while. He took care of it last year at the C108 in Manda. He will do it again this year. And I've already told him. So I think it will be done quite quickly, as soon as he has a moment of freedom. And then, as far as real estate is concerned, I spoke to Wyatt Broch, I think that's how you pronounce his family name. I just wanted to make sure to pronounce it right. I hope to have a meeting with him tomorrow afternoon. We have talked a lot these last two days to plan something for his Adam Street office. So I'm working on it. Financially, I should be able to manage the whole situation. So yes, I plan to fix it as soon as possible, to put it on the market, to sell it and to get rid of it. For everyone, I didn't recognize you at the beginning, Jeff. Yes, I also have to take care of that, but it's not my absolute priority.

Well, I don't know if we should take measures. I think that if you keep moving forward...

Comments from the health service about... No, I mean, I'm happy to hear that here.

Je suis juste heureux d'apprendre que des mesures sont prises et oui, c'est ce que nous attendions.

Je veux dire, oui, nous préférions ne pas avoir à nous emmêler. Si nous pouvons faire avancer les choses, c'est ma responsable. You know, with Jeff recently. So yes, I think things are going very well. Thank you, Jeff.

I think my only request would be that your gardener take care of it regularly instead of doing it once a year. So when it's on the market, the grass will be maintained because we receive a lot.

Do I want it to be presentable so that it can be sold? Perfect. But the back is worse than you thought, I think.

It will be a bit long, but... Very well, thank you. Now we will return to our calls for offers and contracts. Our public works director, Eric Lanouer, sorry for that. So the point we have here is the approval of the proposed inspection of the freight rails. So we are putting it in place. We are establishing a long-term maintenance plan for the wagons. This includes, in particular, trinatral road inspections.

This is a norm in the industry for secondary roads like this one. The first inspection is based on maintenance that allows us to develop a progressive plan to put the entire road back in good condition.

The most recent part of the road was built in 2019 and 2024. It is in good condition. Work is necessary. We still have to inspect it, but we don't need to do any work. The old road was built in the mid-1980s in Nice and at the beginning of the 2000s and requires an important replacement of the crossings.

It is on this junction that we had to make emergency repairs last year. We had two cases where the Pacific Union intervened to stop us until these problems were resolved.

And one of them was certainly due to the crossroads.

A inspection plan would therefore allow to establish a maintenance program to ensure that the rail is in good condition and viable for the operations of the Pacific Union. We will also discuss the association for the maintenance of the railways in the coming years.

Previously, we used the Fonds 211 for roads and bridges, or the Fonds 807 for the Fonds of the Banque de France and maintenance. This particular expense, the inspection, is not an improvement.

We are discussing with the operator Capitale about the transfer of the REE maintenance. This will be done in the near future, not in the long term.

I did not know exactly how it would happen at the beginning. I think things are moving a little faster now than I anticipated about a year ago. There is a good chance that in the next operation contract that we will sign with them, maintenance will start. Our goal with this railway connection is therefore that it self-finances and maybe generates revenue over time. But in the meantime, we have to find out how to pay for this inspection and I need the proposal to be signed.

Eric, we think that the year 2027 will be a hybrid year for us.

The employment contract must be renewed at the end of March, at the beginning of April. Things have evolved throughout this year, which is probably not going In view of the evolution this year, with the arrival of new companies, Capital thinks that they will begin to make profits next year. We could be able, in March or April, to integrate this into the agreement, so that maintenance can be part of it. We will see how things evolve by then. But this is clearly going in this direction and hooking up one or two big additional customers would allow us to confirm this so that they become profitable, generate income for the county and self-finance.

So here I have the proposal that the commission will approve and sign, as well as a discussion to have with the CICA on the financing. Where will it come from? As I said in the past, we have used the sales tax and the funds intended for road and

This is a little different. We have not done any inspection, nor even maintenance work, which constitutes an improvement to maintain it in good condition, but this one is a little ... So, do you have any thoughts on this? Or do you prefer to approve this first before we discuss the financing?

So, roughly, 2,000 dollars is the price you indicated?

Only once. This must be done four times a year. We would probably only do this one to establish a maintenance plan, then we could maybe integrate the next one in the operating agreement.

It's not three months, but maybe we'll do another one in a year.

We will discuss with Capital, Capital Railroad Contracting, which I did not mention earlier. This proposal comes from Capital Railroad Contracting to carry out inspections. We also need new construction and rail maintenance, and they are based in Colombia. They are local and have been a good entrepreneur with whom we have worked in the past.

And Jessica... With Eric and all your... your own listeners, we are going to test this week. I think we do not need to complicate the task to know on which budget line it will be for the moment, but I would say to move forward with this proposal. So for the moment it will always come from the 211 or the 807?

And then you plan to integrate it into the agreement for next year?

I'm not going to say yes or no, it's the direction we're going in. I can't say for sure that it will happen.

But given the current trend, you know, a big additional customer and it will probably be you.

Capital agreed to take over the inspection aspect.

They suggested it. They would like us to take care of one part and manage the rest. It creates a dynamic. We work very well with Capital. It's fantastic to work with them. However, there is always a risk that the information is not communicated. So it was not in the previous agreement. Basically, we went to the side. So we have to assume the cost. And for the next agreement, we will probably try to include something. And we have never done an inspection. It was recommended by Capital. Alvord Contracting. From Capital.

We must not confuse them.

To avoid some of these emergency situations that force us to close. At least three times since I've been working on it. Are they going to detect it right away? That's for sure. I mean, we could still have emergency closures even by inspecting. When the heart of the needle is broken, it's something you can't really see. Maybe we can, if they inspect, you know, the steel and the welds, that kind of thing. But some things are undetectable. But overall, they can be proactive to spot some of these problems.

I learned something at the meeting. You know, these railway crossings deteriorate over time. But a cross on three must be in good condition for it to work. So what we do is look for the crossings that deteriorate and we replace them. And it's an interesting operation to have this machine pass through the rails to remove and put back crossings without tearing them off. I suggest signing this agreement with Capital.

Exploited by car. I don't know what I'm going to say. Are there any other discussions? I'm not going to inspect and see if it's deteriorating. I don't have to find the problems. We never did before.

How many emergency stops have we had? I can't go inspect because I'm not qualified for UP. I mean, it's material made via federal regulations and these inspectors are certified for that. How many times have we had an emergency stop? At least three, I remember. That's what I think too. In 18 years? With the aging of the old part of the rail, it has become a more serious problem. The problem is that when the rail is closed, all delivery of wagons to its customers must remain in the warehouse and bill about $ 1,200 or $ 1,000 per day that the customer must absorb. So, you know, it's something ... I guarantee that they will find when it will be necessary to proceed to an emergency stop. You will have a better chance to detect these problems.

Neither of them would have found the heart of the crossing.

But my point of view is that I can have my car inspected every year. And that will still not prevent a breakdown.

So, is it a cost that I have to bear? You know, I'm going to try my luck because I can also look at a car and tell you, well, this tire needs air. Well, at least in the lower half, yes. You know, but I see where you want. We didn't talk about it. I mean, I know you're trying the engineer for that.

I'm sorry, you wanted to be the other engineer.

When your car breaks down, does it cost you $ 1 to $ 200 a day until it is repaired? Sometimes, depending on whether it is a work vehicle.

But if it is an emergency, they will not necessarily find it anyway. Even if you inspect your car, they will not find it.

If there is a problem in the transmission, I mean that there is ... ... to prevent it, especially on our roads of 1990. My argument is that we have never done this before. We have only had three closures that we can remember. I'm asking for the vote. Did you press the motion? I did it. Okay. Who is for? Of course. Is it a yes or a no? Since you are still up there to compensate for ignoring you, would you like to make the country? I need to sit down and rest a little. I'm sorry. And you? Go get a coffee, come back in a few moments.

Approval and signature of the buy contract with Cosmo Properties.

This is the agreement for the auditor's office, the treasurer and the buyer's agent. This increased by 50 dollars per month this year.

The total is $1,350 per month.

to approve the contract with Cosmo Properties.

Other questions?

Who is for? Approval of the signature of the furniture order for the Pringer Center.

But don't be afraid to move on. I'm a little tired of talking to Eric. Eric, note me down for you. Tell him I'm coming back.

I have a debt from Norex for the detention furniture of the new establishment. The estimated cost proposed is $3478.40. The new construction did not include ... It is therefore only the detention furniture and it is only one part because it is worn furniture. We were able to get listed real estate thanks to the grant for infectious diseases and their attenuation. So it's about half. The other half. This will be refunded by the federal grant. I'm sorry, what was the amount? 470 euros.

And you said it was also part of this grant?

Yes, the federal grant will refund all this.

And as it is in the case of this grant, we will have a contract to sign, but Gilles is still examining it for me.

In case someone would wonder what a leased furniture is, it is because we need it. We do not want it to be lifted, thrown or used during a fight.

This prevents the furniture from being transformed into a weapon to hurt the personnel of other degraded young people. So we just approve the order today. Do you need an approval or do we have to wait for the contract?

I think you can approve it today because there is a schedule for your signature. Then we will sign.

The line is not accepted. Isn't that the acceptance? Are we sure that this is not for the person who receives the delivery?

I feel like maybe he's the one who accepts it, because it's indicated to be sent to and other information. Expedition on the date of release... I thought he was the one who would accept it. He doesn't accept it.

I'm going to approve it today, and then... Yes. If it's a real debt, then we should be able to sign the acceptance line. Because we should receive another one when they decide to send it.

I propose to execute the ... ... proposition of the BRICS. The ST of the center of attention.

All in favor? Eric, do you want to play again?

Of course. Although I should have taken 5 more minutes to rest a little, Approval of the proposal of FAP4 for a... It's intimidating. A spaceship. Nivelleuse B. You think he was on your side for your order? Well, I know. He's always intimidating.

Do you have something in the budget to come?

Okay, we have a proposal of FAP4 in front of you for the purchase of a Nivelleuse. This is a 140. This is in the framework of the contract. On the floor, and this is an anticipated purchase on the 14th of November. And this is in the sales tax budget of next year. This will be in the sales tax budget of next year, under the equipment. We have already done this in previous years.

The delivery times of the sliders are extended.

In addition, we see an increase of about 5% per year.

So we can take advantage of it. Now, we're going to put it back.

So I need the approval of this proposal of FAP4 for the smelter.

So I know we've already done that. What is the delivery date for this?

He thinks somewhere in the first quarter. That, it can vary a lot. Well, I know that once it was a year. Yes, they come out of... It was more than a year ago. No question.

Very well.

Very well, I propose to approve the proposal of FAB 4 for the 140 Joy 4B.

Any other discussion? No. All in favor?

We are still a little under the table. New case. Examination of supplier accounts.

Appropriation request for supplier accounts while waiting for the examination.

Proposal of approval.

No, it will be for next week.

All those who are for.

Do I have to sign the proposal, Eric, or do we just need the agreement?

And I think there is a page with the price, the debt. Maybe just sign that. That's all we've done in the past.

I'm just signing somewhere. For the real signature page. So here it is.

It's probably just going down, I suppose.

Okay, I'm going to do that. Do I have to open the public audience for the fixation of the tax 2026?

Does anyone here want to speak on this subject? We will close the public hearing for the tax study for 2026 and we will proceed with the approval of the county tax for 2026. So we have two taxes that we must approve.

The road and bridge tax and the one for which we have made the recruitment rate of 0.53.

So this tax will be 0.1653. And then the tax on general income. With the reduction, it will be 0.259 euros.

And I have two documents for you to sign here. That's it.

And everything is filled. No initials or anything?

There are only two. Questions?

I try to write down as quickly as you speak and I will not succeed.

Go to the red light, and it will be done.

I make a motion for it.

Approve the lift taxes for 2021. Lift and bridge at 2,553.

And then, general revenue at 0,139. All those who are for it.

This is the second and last reading of budgetary adjustment number 5. 20 amounts of 169 dollars. He was on Eric's side. He's gone. He's gone. You can't even touch him. Do you see it?

I propose to prove.

Budgetary adjustment. Number 5 for 169. 79 dollars.

No cents. A discussion. Those who are for. I'm warming you up. I send you back your friend. Second final reading of budgetary adjustment number 6.

This is the second final reading of budgetary adjustment number 6 of a amount of 15,000 dollars. This is the subsidy for family relations that the courts presented a few weeks ago.

Also signed on the phone.

Everything is fine for you. I propose to approve the budgetary adjustment of 15,000 dollars for the family relations resolution fund. All in favor? Approval of the IGT payment for the GMT of the fiscal year 2025.

Hello. I don't think it requires an action because payments are included in today's supplier accounts, but I just wanted to inform you that we will issue the government transfer of a amount of 42 dollars.

And with that, Missouri Health Net will give us $123.76. And this is part of the GMT program, which constitutes our second payment this year. One thing to note at the end of the year, is that with the GMT, we received about $1 million more in return than what we had budgeted. These IGT payments required an important part of our unforeseen reserve for this year, the fund that we use to complete all unforeseen budgets in fuel, medical supplies and operational costs. We could therefore need a transfer or budget adjustment of the income line towards this line of unforeseen to cover all unforeseen expenses.

Probably $200,000 more budgeted than what we had planned. But in the end, we got $1 million in budget.

We did it or we didn't do it.

We receive about, I think we had budgeted about $150,000. And we will end up getting about $1.1 million in revenue.

We have to issue a special check for this because it is due at the end of the month. We must have the partial payment before the 30th. So, what were the two supplier accounts this morning?

Thank you. Thank you. All right. First reading of budgetary adjustment number 7.

This is the first reading of budgetary adjustment number 7 of a amount of 80,487. This is a subvention that the Sheriff's Office has received. No action is necessary.

The agreement on Russellville's order, you skipped this recommendation from the advisory board just above.

I agree. I call for the approval to have nothing to do with it.

Well, I didn't do it.

Approval of the recommendation of the Consultative Committee on roads and bridges for the modernization of gravel roads.

I hope that the account notes that I have nothing to do with this complaint. It's one of those days.

I have to go to McDonald's. I wanted to meet you all once. I didn't think it was stuck.

You just needed a break after a jam.

I hear that a lot.

To summarize, our consultative committee on roads and bridges, composed of six members of the community and a member of the commission, Harry, gathers every quarter to discuss road projects and serve as a reflection committee. We submit to them, in particular, our ideas for small cooperative projects and the use of funds from the local sales tax. We brought ideas and they helped us to define the final financing formula presented to citizens during the sale tax campaign. The committee on which we are currently working and the gravel road modernization program that I have included in the file, the list of roads making the object a petition. Thus, for the next 10-year sales tax cycle, which starts next year, we will have to choose the roads to be treated. We did not choose all of them. Consultative committee on roads.

During the discussion, we decided to select a few of them.

Let's launch these projects, then we will work on the placement of others. For the modernization program of gravel roads, there are a policy or a document that guides our approach. Citizens can submit a petition that will be added to a road list. We can also add roads that pose maintenance problems or are priority for various reasons such as connectivity. All this is taken into account in this list. This list only includes roads that are part of a petition. They are classified from 1 to 9 according to a formula based on maintenance, traffic and connectivity. By discussing with the advisory committee, we examined our priorities and the already started roads that we want to complete. We decided that Castle Rock Road, Lock and Dam Road and Sheppard Hills Road would be my candidate to start the next sales tax cycle. These three roads would all be built with a two-layer coating.

This is a two-layer coating placed directly on the stone base and not on a bitumen frame.

The landowners of Lock and Dam and Castle Rock have already collaborated with us

to provide supports or allow for enlargement.

These roads are therefore, for the most part, enlarged and ready to receive the coating. When we make such a coating, we design it in order to be able to put asphalt on it later. The base is built correctly to ensure the durability of the road. It is intended for roads with slightly lower traffic, more for cars than for constant heavy loads. These roads are all routes without an exit, on which we have already carried out preparatory work, in which Shepard Hills Road and two-thirds more are already paved. This was done 40 or 50 years ago, but this gravel section has been left as it is and we have a residential lot, this road that we want to connect.

And the part that has been paved, it was because a promoter did it.

No, this was probably done at the time of the special road district. It was a long time ago, well before my arrival. Probably in the 70s.

It is rare to see a road pass from the end of the road to the gravel road, then return to the end of the road. And it is the case.

And it's over. In the regulation of urbanism and looting, it is allowed, but we would not allow it today, because of the problems that this poses to residents of this road. Constantly crossing the gravel zone.

The Consultative Committee of bridges and floors therefore recommended these three roads, Castle Rock, Lock and Dam and Sheffield Hills, to move on to the next step and prepare the construction of Castle Rock and Lock and Dam. There is a section on Lock and Dam that we would like to give up.

The owner indicated that he wanted to take care of the maintenance of this last part of the road. We will therefore work with him on this subject. This will reduce the final cost of this project.

Shepard Hills will require a complete design and the acquisition of entries.

So, by doing this, you know how we do these roads in particular, they need to be brought. You take the highway 54, the road B, and these are quite isolated areas where it takes a certain time to arrive and settle.

This will help us to optimize our routes and in the end, by completing these works, we may be able to reduce the number of kilometers to be levelled, or even delete a route or a district to avoid buying these levellers at 365,000 This is what would end up happening. But we have to reduce these kilometers of gravel roads to be able to eliminate a route. This could happen in a year or ten years, it is not immediate.

We also have, you know, discussed during the meeting, we are not trying to develop a plan for the tenth year of the ten-year cycle. We have even discussed the fact that we have, in a way, successive five-year plans and we will focus on the first five years, right?

Historically, this is how it was done.

Let's not put everything together. We will do it step by step.

So I suppose we will just ask for the commission's approval to move these three roads to the design and construction phase.

So you have already obtained the right of passage and all the rest on these roads where?

Lock and dam. We have everything except the lower part when we get to the bottom.

We will have to release a part of this road. So there could be a little work, but for most of them they are ready.

Except at the end of the lock and dam where we will have to do some leveling work. But it's not a long cut.

I suppose that my point of view is simply that we can plan to deal with a lot of these roads, but if we encounter problems to obtain the right of passage, it could bring them down in the list and something else could happen.

It happens, but it's good to have rescue plans. Ikori Hill, we are trying to obtain the right of passage. North Road Creek is actually in front of these three, but we can work on it simultaneously with the others. And it's a fairly long route, a bit more complex than the others. So they can work simultaneously.

And for Casper Rock, I'm going to have to check.

I don't remember if we really acquired the right to pass at the time. I know we built it. I know we expanded it to Norman's width, but I'm not sure we acquired the rights.

Yes, we could pass two vehicles at the time. It is a main road that has been expanded and made quite safe for

that a school bus and a garbage truck can cross it. We have brought good improvements, but it's like the only place. We have to take a step or two at this point.

Yes, doing this work will certainly help, and at Pardil, it is probably the worst place, where the highway 54 joins.

It's the only thing nearby. It would certainly be safer for our trips.

And these roads have all been

accepted by the county before 1999 when we adopted the rules for the lodging or what we saw.

The county has existed for a long time.

And it's part of the sales tax.

I don't really have much to sign. All in favor?

Sorry about that. Agreement on the order of Russellville. There is an agreement that we have with Russellville currently concerning the law on the lease.

It was obsolete.

We just need everyone to sign it. The city has already signed it, so it's time to sign it. I have a pen so that everyone can sign it. Let's do the same thing for the others. We are therefore obtaining new agreements on all... I propose to execute the resolution with the city of Russellville.

Regarding the ordinance? Eric, I see that I'm installing football now. Does that mean an ambulance? The team is reserving this year.

So... You've touched on the subject. Before, we only had one or two games.

Now, we have a lot. So, you know, we'll take care of the logistics. These last 24 hours, I also received requests from the junior football teams of Cap City and Jeff City to cover their events on Saturday. The most difficult thing is that we have to organize ourselves in just four days. We are trying to manage the logistics because, in addition to these two requests, we have a football match in Lincoln and another public event scheduled for Saturday. As these events multiply, we do our best to respond to the demand, but there are at least two Fridays this month where there are, I think, six football matches. And two Fridays a week? Or this month, or this year.

Sorry.

I appreciate it. Thank you. I just wanted to order, actually. So, I thought of two Fridays a week. This whole situation becomes very difficult to manage from a logistical point of view. Not only do you have to have enough equipment to send on all the matches, but you also have to find staff to cover them.

You have four home matches this week, right?

Ok. Leroux is another one, I think.

I thought Russellville played at home and then Jeff City and Cap City...

When you have a high school team from Jefferson City playing against another from Jefferson City, do you count two games or one?

Just at that moment.

The most annoying evenings are if you have Jeff City, Cap City, Russellville, Blair Hawks, Elias, and the next day we have Lincoln.

Well, now you can have...

So there could be a demand for additional equipment to equip more staff in a short time. You know, we are budgeting accordingly. So it's not necessarily a question of personnel. It's all the equipment needed to equip these employees.

It's just a matter of curiosity. I don't suggest changing anything, but on... Without the match, where your ambulance is present, how many times is there an incident? Where? Maybe once or twice a year.

You know, but once again, it comes back to the recycle.

I suggest no changes. I'm curious.

It could be a journalist on the touch and get turned over. Well, we see, you know, generally, it's more people in the stands or you know, something unrelated to the event itself. But I think Michel demands for him. I think it varies. I think it's recommended.

I don't know if it's possible. Sheriff, do we have agents like in Russellville? Wadsville and now Eugene for the games.

Well, I don't think we need to have our session with... No, there is only one. Sorry. So I remember. So I would accept a motion to suspend the session.

Press. All in favor?
