Thank you, judge. I don't know if Cody is coming or not. I wanted to talk to you, Judge Sück and Judge Kuhms, as the new judges, about the position that was approved by the Council for the Position of the Court Manager and give you a little more insight, hoping to get your consent to take this position in January. I know that there was a lot of uncertainty about what this position would bring. I just wanted to briefly summarize what the other two judges and I talked about and what we imagine for this position to give you a little more insight. Basically, it is about occupying a position to meet two real operational needs that are necessary for the courts at this point in time. First of all, it is really obvious that there is a lack of staff for the position of the peacekeeper. We assume that we can fully expand this in the next year. Our vision would be that this manager position would help to fix this lack of staff. A large part of their position and responsibility would be to close this gap The second part of this position would then also be to help with the nationwide administrative functions that are currently divided between the two courts and the judges and the staff and to have someone who takes on these tasks. I wanted to make sure that everyone understands that this position is not intended to supervise the current employees of the courts. They should not replace the powers that the courts currently have. The judge would continue to lead his own employees. Each judge would continue to supervise his court and his court staff. I want to mention this because I know that there have been many discussions about whether this person should supervise or not. This position would take over the administrative tasks for all three courts together and at the same time use a large part of their time as staff support for the peace judge. To give you a brief overview of what this would look like, the tasks of the assistant and the personnel of the peace judge include, among other things, the support for the completion of some odyssey functions and the processing of some upcoming tasks. As new judges, we have already spoken about the fact that we would like to occupy the staff support for the peace judge in the form of a court report. This person could basically accompany the peace judge to the various hearings. At the moment, the judge is negotiating cases for two different courts. Let's assume it's a clearing hearing. Then comes an employee of the upper court and an employee of the district court, who hold these hearings. This often happens, probably even more so in the cases of the Supreme Court, as it is again about these tasks. So we had set up a certain place as a judge for the judge of peace, so that we could actually hold two hearings. So the Superior Court I could hold a hearing while the judge of peace holds a hearing. The Circuit Court could hold a hearing. And basically how many courts work, what the public would really open up a lot of possibilities for hearings if we could do that, if we could do that. However, if we take over the position of the peace judge and let this person go to court and take over the court proceedings, there is a lot of administrative paperwork, so to speak, the waiting line work. Therefore, this court manager could jump in and take over a part-time job to do this work. This is what we have imagined for ourselves, the support in the courtroom, the taking over of these administrative tasks. As for the other part of the position of this manager, we see a few different things that he could take over. As you have learned in my election campaign, I do not want to argue today whether the court numbers and their functions in ODYSSEY are correct or not. But it is clear that a function is missing here. These numbers are really important for the state, for our numbers and to determine how much staff we will need in the future. So we have to make sure that everything is processed correctly and that we have someone who monitors everything, who ensures that the personnel works in accordance with the regulations so that the cases are correctly recorded, and who ensures that there is a person who keeps an eye on it and that the court pays attention to it when cases are collected or have been related for a long time. That would be an important part of this function. Another point is Odyssey and technology training. This is constantly changing. It would be good to have a person who can keep pace with all changes in legislation and technological changes, who ensures that the training is carried out for all three courts and who monitors it. There are also compliance requirements that this person could monitor. You already know the reporting at the Supreme Court. You already know the ongoing professional work. You could help to delegate and prove them and ensure that the legal deadlines are met and the form is submitted in accordance with the regulations. I think it would be of great advantage for all three courts if someone is committed to it. And the other big part of this work would be the appointment planning of the peace judge. And although we have a fantastic peace judge, I think he may have just started and it will be a new one. We have a great one and he is currently managing his calendar himself. But the reality is that we will get a new person for this position. And just as Judge Zirk, Judge Kimms and I talked about how we want this to work, it would be nice to have someone who could help with the coordination of this calendar. So if the district judges appoint a district court for the day, but this has no negotiations, then this person could turn it around and say, hey, we have a few double bookings here at this court. and, so to speak, monitor and secure that. Or if there are problems with which court number we should go to, then she could somehow coordinate that so that we can really work as four courts. So I think that would be a big advantage. I think you know that the shortage that we have alone with the personnel of the attorney general is enormous. But I also think that there are many other functions that this person could take over twice. Therefore, my request as a new judge is to approve this position so that we can occupy it before the beginning of the year and we can all start at the same time. I don't know if Judge Sürck has anything else to add.

I agree with Manship. I think it would simply help efficiency. It would also prepare us, as we grow as a district and I think it is something that will help us. Sie sagten, der Rat hat es genehmigt? Okay, aber haben Sie die zusätzliche Bezahlung genehmigt, um Sie früher einzustellen?

Sie haben nun, wir können Sie früher einstellen. Es ist für den Haushalt von 2027. Sie haben also die Finanzierung dafür genehmigt. Ich glaube, Sie haben es mit 60.000 genehmigt, soweit ich mich erinnere.

Soweit ich mich erinnere. Für diese Position.

Sie kürzen es nicht.

Ja, wir brauchen nur von Ihnen die Genehmigung für die Position selbst. Nun, ich schlage vor, dass wir die Stelle eines Gerichtsverwalters genehmigen.

Ein Gerichtsverwalter hat die Stelle.

Wird bereits geschaffen, richtig?

Ich dachte, sie wurde geschaffen, aber gleichzeitig... Würde ich das auch unterstützen? Wir haben einen Antrag und eine zweite Stimme im Plenum, um die Stelle des Gerichtsverwalters zu genehmigen.

Äh... Gerichtsverwalter.

Position. Die dafür sind, sagen ja. Ich. Der Antrag ist angenommen.

Danke. Du hast eine schwierige Einstellung. Ich meine, das ist eine große... to find someone with some experience. But I think if it is approved now, we have the opportunity to open applications and to really evaluate the qualification for this position. I know that Andrea probably hasn't written a description yet, so maybe you should work on it with Andrea. I like to do that. I like to do that.

You can do the other thing.

I'll take care of it.

Um, yes, and Andrea just unites her job descriptions so that everything looks the same and is in the same format. U.S.W. So if you work closely with her so that it fits with everything else she does.

Andrea is right.

Andrea is right behind you. Sorry, I looked for Cody and missed him. Thank you.

Thank you. Eric Poole. Good morning. Good morning. I have a lot of things for you to sign today. I hope your Carpal tone is okay. I brought you a book.

First of all, I have the receipt form.

I make a request that we approve contract B3103627. The deadline for completion is 5.05.2020. Completion of all contract work on 9.09.2020. There was no amount here, right? No, it's closed. I ... ... approve the application for contract B.3.6.2.7.

We are in the funding season, so here are a number of funds. The first grant that we will apply for is for the filling of various roadblocks in the amount of a total of 506,070. We will file the application for this. The state pays more than we do.

We file the application that we approve the access process for the writing text for the Crossings Matching Grant for projects of 2027, application number 15000-1000-1000-1098 for the planking of various road documents.

Everyone who is in favor says, I'm in. The application has been accepted. Ich benötige gleich zwei Beschlussnummern. Die nächsten Punkte sind Titel VI und ADA-Dokumente. Der erste Punkt, den ich habe, ist die Beschlussfassung zur Annahme des Umsetzungsplans für Titel VI. Und das wäre eine Beschlussfassung. Daher benötige ich eine Nummer.

Ich stelle den Antrag, dass wir die Beschlussfassung zur Annahme des aktualisierten Umsetzungsplans für Titel 6 für Hancock County, Indiana genehmigen. Beschluss Nummer 202694. Zweiter Antrag.

Zweiter Antrag im Plenum ist die Genehmigung der Beschlussfassung Nummer 202694, Beschlussfassung zur Annahme des aktualisierten Umsetzungsplans für Titel 6 für Hancock County, Indiana. Alle, die dafür sind, sagen, ich bin dabei. Der Antrag ist angenommen. Next, I have another resolution. This will name your ADA and Title VI administrators. This will probably be handed over to the personnel department at some point. But I don't know how much money that is yet. They just start there. But it's the same as last year and the years before.

I ask that we approve Resolution 2026.95, a resolution by Hancock County, Indiana, with which the coordinator of the Americans with Disabilities Act and Title VI are to be approved. Second.

We have a second motion in the plenum to approve Resolution 2026.95, a resolution by Hancock County, Indiana, with which the coordinator of the Americans with Disabilities Act and Title VI are to be approved. Everyone who is in favor says yes. The application has been accepted. The last point is the plan for the implementation of Title VI. It's the same as last year. It should be updated with these signatures. It was approved until 2028. As you can see, it's always the tax day of the third quarter. So if everyone has to pay their quarterly taxes, today is also the day for that. Here are two signatures, both for Gary.

I ask that we accept the implementation plan for Title VI of Hancock County for 2026 or 2027. I vote yes.

You have a second application in the plenum to approve the implementation plan for Title VI of Hancock County for 2027. All those in favor say yes. The application has been accepted. Und ich habe eine Anleihefreigabe für JTH Contracting. Sie haben den neuen Mobilfunkmast. Gebaut, gebaut. Er steht tatsächlich da unten in meiner Nachbarschaft, sodass sich meine Nachbarn nicht mehr über den Mobilfunkdienst beschweren, was eine Sache weniger ist, über die sie sich bei mir beschweren können. Sie sind fertig geworden und Herr Rolls hat die Inspektion durchgeführt. Aber den sind wir so abgeschlossen.

I request that we approve the grant for JDH Contracting from 819 Network Drive in Plainfield, Indiana. That was a fulfillment guarantee, number 679955313, in the amount of $25,000 for the new Verizon mobile network mast. Second.

Wir haben einen Antrag und eine zweite Stimme im Plenum, die Garantie Nr. 679233 in Höhe von 25.000 Dollar wie vorgelegt freizugeben. Alle, die dafür sind, sagen Ja. Der Antrag ist angenommen. Looks like everyone's still awake, so let's take care of a few unsubstantiated things. Jack & Sons advertising. I'm working with Jenna to edit this. The lease contract says you should only stay there for about a year. I've already taken the drone pictures and everything else to make sure it's all in order. And then we'll hand it over to the Brownfield project with Greenfield. And clean it up. Just so everyone knows, this is for Greenfield, which is involved in the cleaning up of Jack & Sons. We have provided the funds to take care of everything. That's what's going on. Wednesday the 16th, so tomorrow we're going on an excursion, the last of my exploration excursions to Columbus, to see the AWS Data Center. Joining us are me, Julie, who is so nice to come along, Mary, Robin and Wes Journey, an electrical engineer who designs data centers. And maybe Kelly. That will be your person who is sitting in the middle at this time. We are now at six, so we can all feel comfortable now. So you have to decide whether you want to sit in the middle or not for the six-hour drive. Let me know. We'll meet tomorrow evening at the road construction office. And don't force him to stop the car. I will stop him. Everyone will look for the best side. So we start at six o'clock. We are back at four o'clock because I had to be in the dark for my light measurements. Um, and we should be back at 4 o'clock. So I'll let you know how it's going. I'll just summarize all my results. I'll send them to you all again. Uh, we're talking about grant applications here. RFP for micro transit services. Miriam is currently working on it. We'll make it long so you have time to decide. I don't know if you met Greenfield yesterday or today.

Will you be there, Gary?

No, probably not. I can be there if you want.

I would be happy if you were, because you are the one who is so closely involved in the whole thing.

Ich bin alles eingebunden, Eva. Äh, wann ist es?

Heute um 11 Uhr, Lugermeisters.

Ich bin da. Die Mikrooberfläche und die Chipversiegelung sollten nächste Woche abgeschlossen sein. Danke an die Öffentlichkeit für die Geduld. Wir werden sie alle beschlagen. Und dann werden wir in den Viertel, in den wir die Mikrooberfläche verlegt haben, alles im Herbst zusammenkehren, sobald es sich abgelöst hat, und den ganzen Mist zusammenkehren. Wir wollen nicht 20 Mal kehren. Also werden wir warten, bis alles ab ist, und dann nur einmal kehren, denn wir sind nicht reich. Um, contract for certain maintenance work on 6 West. We will hand over to a client from Greenfield Rasp, uh, Greenfield, to get rid of the junk and get the shit together on 600 West. Miff, pay for it via the Addis. Um, I'll probably sign this contract sometime this week. It's a smaller contract. It's smaller than 50,000. So you won't be involved, but I just want you to know. You'll only know that, you'll only know that on district news and in the mix.

Aren't those the people from Cumberland? Or were they from Cumberland?

They were, but they have it here in the office. So they're in charge. I'm always a fan of dealing with locals. We make sure that they are competitive. That's not my money, but...

Right.

That's always a good thing. The property at the US 40, we have localized the obstacle. We did a good job there. We work with them there. It's completely outside the reach and so on. So let's work on it. But at least we have limited the problem. If you drive on the US 40 on the north side, there is a light bar and then a house between this light bar and the house between this light bar. Somewhere in this 40-foot section there is an obstacle. Something has completely blocked this pipe and that's why you see floods there near the fire department and so on. So I try to contact a few of my acquaintances with whoever, whoever, to see if I can help.

I think that's great and I know the family history.

It's difficult because it's not a private property. So you're right, these are not your tiles, but the public security is everywhere. Right?

Absolutely.

So we're working on it. I saw the renovation of the garage. Thanks to Mary and Sarah who sent me the rental money for it. I'm going to start talking to a few people. We'll fill out an application to keep the design. We're going to do it like a street design, make an application and then build it in the old school style. And then I'll let Kim take over the inside of the carpet window. You may notice that some of my things have come in the way. Please let us exchange the windows.

We'll get it done.

You're fed up with the wasps coming to visit. I don't bother the wasps. Wir werden die Teppichwände und Fenster im eigentlichen Verwaltungsbüro fertigstellen. Fertigstellen. Ja, ich mag es nicht, Geld für Straßen und nicht für Büros auszugeben, aber ich denke, wir sind es schuldig, die Insekten draußen zu halten. 88 Türöffner. Gestern in unserer Abteilungssitzung hatten einige unserer Mitarbeiter und die Öffentlichkeit Schwierigkeiten, einige der ADA-Bereiche zu betreten. Basically, if you have to go to the toilet with a rollator or something like that, you have to open the door and knock around with it. We don't want our employees to do that. We don't want our employees to do that. Therefore, I will make an application to the council for $50,000. We will add this to the ADA budget so that Corrie, I think, has a client. Corrie, still here.

We still have a client who costs about $50,000 to do these things.

Therefore, with your permission, I will submit a petition to increase this post to $40,000. We will focus on food and drinks and the like. And we should do that so that our employees and the public do not have to fight with doors. We should be able to use the toilet, because everyone is in a hurry to go to the toilet. I don't want it.

I would make the request that we approve Gary to ask for $50,000 from the food and beverage sector.

To approve IDR. I will do it. I am the second in the plenum for Gary, who asks for additional $50,000 from the RDC sector. And I only support beverages. Food and beverages. Uh, for... Behind the scenes. But, Sarah, if you could take me to the time plan for your advice, at some point, and I don't know in which funds and which issuance it is, but if you could bring me there, I would make the application. Thank you. That's fine. That's fine. All right, CSX conclusion. The public could also be more interested in it. Any news? No.

You're probably watching a livestream.

I hear you. If you're following the news live, get one of these things or come to my office.

This package with papers on the back says when CSX plans to close a series of railway crossings for maintenance work.

It also says on the back of your package how many of these works will be carried out in October. They will take about five days each. So if you see that a railway crossing is closed, you probably know that it will probably be closed within a few days. Das ist das Beste, was ich für Sie tun konnte. Sie werden also daran arbeiten und haben mehr Einfluss als ich, aber hier sind wir bei den Straßensperrungen gelandet.

Das kommt also noch?

Ich werde es. Wenn Sie von der Öffentlichkeit aus einen kurzen Blick darauf werfen möchten, können Sie sehen, wo Sie sich befinden. Sie können die Stadt sehen. Hier ist eine Straße. Gesperrt. Better than what I'm doing today. Thank you.

Please share this information with the city administration of Vorwil and Morrisville.

We'll send you to the 112, who will then continue to guide you to our usual suspects. We'll send you the list. Thank you very much.

Thank you, Gary.

Morgan Walker.

She had to go.

Or is she?

Excuse me, I'll try to get through.

Good morning.

Good morning.

I only have my telework guideline and sent it to Andrea for approval. She gave me green light, so I just wanted to bring it to you. I think you have a copy of it, yes. That's just for extraordinary circumstances, but I wanted to make sure that we have it when we need it.

Very detailed. I sat down yesterday and read it.

I think, be careful, it's better than wet.

Exactly. That's good.

During all the construction work, your employees were great.

Yes, you know, we somehow had to find out how to make it work when we were still in the building. So we learned a few lessons back then. And yes, I think that's why we're very well prepared. So I have it. That's really all I have.

Perfect. Do you want to approve it today? I file the application that we approve the teleworking guideline for the application helpers.

We have the second application in the plenum, teleworking, the work from home for the application helpers to approve. Everyone who is in favor say yes. I accept.

Thank you. You're welcome.

Two different directions or one direction, two different routes. A 70-foot wide half-track along the Fortville Pike on the east side and then a 40-foot wide half-track along the south side of County Road 375 North. That's a total of 2.2 acres.

stellen Sie den Antrag, dass wir die Ferris Miner Subdivision an der South East 375 North and North Fortville Pike genehmigen. Die erste Fortville Pike hätte ein 70 Fuß breites halbes Wegerecht. Und die 40 Fuß wären für 375 Fuß ein heitel Wegerecht. And not for two ninths. Twenty-nine acres. Let's say that three times fast in a row.

Second. We have a second application in the plenum, a 70-foot-wide half-way right for the Ferris Minor subdivision in the height of two corner subdivisions in the height of 22 acres to accept. All who are for it say I.

And the 40. And the 40.

And the 40.

Total 70.

Halfway. No, there was 70 on one. So okay, 70 on 140, okay.

Correct. Seventy on the one and forty on the other. A total of two 29-year-olds.

I think.

For that. Second application on the podium. All who are for it say I. The construction area is 0.193. 0.193

I ask that we approve the division of the small part of Busby at the corner of 100 North and Meridian Road. The property has a width of 35.5 feet and is on the east side of Meridian Road with an area of ​​0.193 acres.

An application and a second vote in the plenum to approve the other 40-foot-1.5-foot-wide route of the Kirby Miner Subdivision. The area is 2.4 acres. All those in favor say so. The application has been accepted.

They'll blame us for the ink, that's for sure. They could have done it too.

They should have taken a stand anyway.

I should have done it.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I need Amarna.

I don't think Amarna is here yet.

I don't know her.

Okay. Gale. I haven't seen Gale either. Then let's start with Gale Brooks.

Morning.

Good morning.

This morning I present to you a change in the contract for the agreement on preparatory services for planning services, which the planning department has completed with HWC Engineering. This change in the contract would include two possible phases. One of them would be the review of the regulation on computer centers in phase 20, with which we could change the regulation that we approved in June and that further regulates the development of computer centers in the district so that it basically reflects everything that we have learned since then. With the conclusion of the computer center committee, whose conclusion report is available on the website of the computer center on the website of the planning department, And a phase 30, where it is a phase of examination for the development of data centers, which would be helpful for all applications for a data center that the district would receive. It would enable us, HWC, to move towards the examination of such an application, if we would need help, which would probably be the case. So that's the question this morning.

But don't you also help with other things?

Yes, you do.

Okay, I thought so.

Und diese ursprüngliche Gebühr betrug 320, ist das richtig? 40.

Die Bereitschaftsdienste, die wir derzeit mit Ihnen haben. Sehr gut.

Ich stelle den Antrag, dass wir Änderungsantrag Nr. 1 zur Vereinbarung für professionelle Dienstleistungen zwischen der Planungsabteilung und HWC Engineering genehmigen. Genehmigen. Die Vergütung für die Überprüfung der Verordnung über Rechenzentren beträgt 20.000 USD pro Stunde, darf aber nicht überschritten werden. Darf aber nicht überschritten werden. Die Überprüfung der Entwicklung von Rechenzentren beträgt 50.000 USD pro Stunde, darf aber nicht überschritten werden. Von insgesamt 70.000 USD pro Stunde darf aber nicht überschritten werden. The original fee was 32,900 USD. So to pay HWC would be 102,900 USD.

We have a second application in the plenum to approve the contract change number 1 for the preparatory planning service of the Hancock County Planning Commission from September 8, 2026. All those in favor say yes.

Ich stelle den Antrag, dass wir die Ansprüche und die Gehaltsabrechnung genehmigen. Zwei.

Wir haben einen Antrag und eine Sekunde, um die Ansprüche und die Gehaltsabrechnung zu genehmigen. Alle dafür sagen I. I. Sonstiges?

Okay, ich habe ein paar Dinge.

Das erste ist, wir haben eine Rechnung von Integra Realty Resources. Das ist für die Bewertungsgebühr der Gemeindekorrekturen. Wir sind uns einfach nicht sicher, wo genau wir sie bezahlen sollen.

Die Gemeindegutschrift für 2021?

Wollen Sie sie aus dem Budget von 2021 bezahlen?

Wofür ist sie?

Jehova der Betrag? Der Betrag beträgt 2.500 Dollar. Ich beantrage, dass wir die Zahlung aus der Anleihe von 2021 bis zu 2.500... ...genehmigen.

We have an application and one second in the plenum to pay the bill for the evaluation of the community corrections in the amount of $ 2,500. Everyone for that say I. I. I. The application has been accepted. Is that all?

Then I could continue and submit my telework guideline for approval. Sie wurde bereits von Andrea geprüft und Andrea sagte, dass alles gut aussieht. Ich habe meine Richtlinie an der Telearbeitsrichtlinie des Landkreises ausgerichtet. Ich weiß allerdings nicht, ob meine Mitarbeiter... They will be of great use, just because of the data we have in our office. We would prefer it if everything would be done internally. I have set up a guideline so that our bookkeeper has access to the financial data during the conference, so that we can continue to work during our absence. I file the application that we approve the teleworking guideline of the economic examiner. I file the application.

Second application in the plenum, that the office of the economic inspector, his telework guideline, as provided, approved. Everyone who is in favor, vote with me. The application has been passed.

Is that all?

That's it. Okay. So.

Mary, we have another loan exemption for Garry's.

Highway for Verizon's telecommunications masts.

Is that the same? Would you like this to be signed so that we have this copy? Okay. I ask for permission to sign a second copy of the loan release for JDH Contracting Inc. For the new loan for Verizon's mobile telecommunications masts. To sign. To sign.

That has already been done.

Correct. But I guess this is the second application. To sign a second copy for the accountant's office.

That was my application. Second application in the plenum, a second copy of the loan issuance as it was proposed for JDH Contracting Incorporated. All those in favor say yes. I accept. Thank you. We need one. We don't need her anymore, but what about Gayle? There she is.

Good morning.

Good morning.

How are you?

I'm fine. Good.

Okay. I'm here to sign a new contract with the Madison County Detention Center. Wir konnten sicherstellen, dass wir derzeit vier Betten für Jugendliche zur Inhaftierung haben und ein fünftes Bett ist frei geworden. Wir haben also mit dem County zusammengearbeitet und einen Satz erzielt, der sehr akzeptabel war und tatsächlich unter dem Budget für nächstes Jahr liegen wird. Thus, a fifth bed would also be secured, which would make it much easier for the officers and interrogators if they are called in the middle of the night to arrest a teenager. I gave Scott the contract for review. It's the same contract. It's just another bed. And Sarah also has a copy. So they should have the contract in front of them.

Will these costs be passed on to the injured person?

That is not the case.

That's not the point. Although I understand what you're saying. And we've already discussed this a little bit with the judges. Maybe you could force the parents to pay the money back to the district. Or maybe even consider child care while they're in detention. That's something you're checking. Some districts do that. And that's nothing against us having something. And I could actually let the judge know that they asked for it.

Well, the thing is, I mean, the taxpayers are just shameless.

It's shameless.

Per day? Yes, that's right. And that's unbelievable.

That was, well, we spent a lot more and then we were able to sign a contract with Messing County. The tax money saved thousands of dollars. And we will cut them off very well, because we did that earlier this year with them to close contracts for beds. But it is a necessity. The crimes are much more serious.

I know.

Machine guns.

You know, serious crimes of violence, drug crimes. It is, it is, it is actually so.

That we have to do it. It is really sad that we have to do it. It is a big sum of money.

That's it. Well, how much do you usually have in it? That shrank. It's, um, what's it called? We're playing a game of guesswork whether five is enough or not. Sure. We get along, but sometimes we still have to go into another internment camp because our beds are full and pay more. A fifth bed would be, well, maybe an advantage if you look at it at all. Besides, we were able to make a deal with you that was both suitable for you and for us. Wäre es... Was ist das nächstgelegene? Hamilton County. Wir sind bis nach Vigo County gegangen. Ich meine, viele, wenn sie einen jugendlichen Gewalttäter haben, können Haftanstalten sagen, nein, den nehmen wir nicht auf. Jetzt, wo wir einen Vertrag mit Madison County haben, können sie uns nicht mehr nein sagen. Das ist ja schön. But courts can say no, depending on the indictment or if you've ever had the teenager. The contract allows Madison County to deport you from their court if you have attacked employees or destroyed property. There are certain things and then we had to move some teenagers to another court. It's very, very difficult.

Are there times when you are deported to a court for adults or something like that?

Yes, that's coming up. And then the sheriff pays for the arrest. I'm sure he knows how to estimate that... We're coming.

I will make the request that we sign the contract on the reserved beds from Kulanz with the Madison County Juvenile Detention Center. This contract states that we agree on a set of $6,584.90 per day for five reserved beds for the purpose of imprisonment of young people. The total amount for this contract is $250,000. That's a lot of money. And the total amount is calculated to be $62,500 for every quarter-year rate. Second application.

An application and a second vote in the plenum to approve the contract for the reserved beds from Kulanz with Madison County. All in favor say yes. Me. Application accepted.

For the survey.

I have... What do you know? I thought I saw something.

It wasn't attached to the motorway. Oh, here. Well, here's one.

Uh... That's it. What are we looking for? Delivery of this motorway loan. We've already done that.

Yes. The motorway loan was made.

But there was a reviewer. Yes, this... Is right here. Another loan is ready.

So I have... ...a bundle. Yes. They file the application to accept the fulfillment guarantee for John Reading Construction in the amount of $25,000. The loan was filed on 11.08.26. So far, there is no loan number. And she is for Tyler Bash, repair of the drainage of the private property and exchange of tiles for the private property in 400 South Morrisville Town Pike.

Second.

There is... Should be the top one. This one here?

I've seen this one and this is one. My application is the second for the deposit or release. It is an admission. Annahme, okay. Annahme einer Anleihe für... Patterson Homesite Drainage und auf 400 Southmoors Town Pike in Höhe von 2.500 Dollar. Alle, die dafür sind, sagen ich, ich, ich, ich. Ich 1.000 Dollar. 25 Dollar noch.

Soll Gary eine dieser Kopien paraffinieren oder unterschreiben? Das ist nicht nötig. I submit the application that we accept the fulfillment bond for MI Homes with a seat in 82025 Woodfield Crossing Boulevard in Indianapolis. The amount of the loan is $8,077, which was deposited on 30.07.2020. The name of the project is Rockport, section 2. I think it's called Monumentation Bond.

Secondly, we have a second application and a second vote in the plenum to approve the loan of HEMI Homes in the amount of $8,700 and the $50 Rockport section 2 Monument Bond. All those in favor say yes, yes, yes. The application has been accepted.

I file the application that we approve the fulfillment guarantee for Clayton Properties Group Inc., which is under the name of Arbor Homes, and its seat in the Harrison Park Court in Indianapolis in 1925. The amount of the guarantee is 1,003 Sint-Huysen residential areas and land on March 31, March 6, 26 for Haven Pond section 3 for monument maintenance.

Second application. The second application is to approve the guarantee from Clayton Properties Group Incorporated, which is under the name Arbor Homes for Haven Pond, section 3, is active for monument maintenance in the amount of $ 1,035. No, everyone who is or votes for it says yes. The application has been accepted.

I submit the application that we accept the fulfillment guarantee for Lennar Homes of Indiana, LLC with the address 11,055 North Meridian Street in Carmel. Der Betrag der Garantie beträgt 21.770 Dollar und wurde am 6. März 2025 für Bayer's Estates Abschnitt 1 für die Denkmalpflege hinterlegt.

Zweiter Antrag. Ein zweiter Antrag ist die Annahme der Kaution für Länder Homes of Indiana LLC in Höhe von 21.075 in Dollar für Bayer's Estates Section 1 für Denkmalpflege Pflege. Alle, die dafür sind, sagen I. I. Antrag ist angenommen.

Ich stelle den Antrag, dass wir eine Instandhaltungs-Kaution genehmigen. Eine Instandhaltungs-Kaution für Fields Sugar Creek Fieldset Sugar Partners LLC mit Sitz in Lefsthausenhausen 91 Fall Creek Road in Indianapolis. Annehmen. Der Betrag der Kaution beträgt 3.500 Dollar und wurde am 27.11.1923 für Fields Sugar Creek Section 1 hinterlegt. Ich glaube, es handelt sich um Vermessungsdenkmäler.

We have an application and a second vote in the plenum. The caution for Fields Sugarcreek Partners LLC and the amount of $3,500 for Fields Sugarcreek, Fields of Sugarcreek Section 1 for measurement monuments to be accepted. Everyone who is in favor say aye. The application has been accepted. I have a correction. This bill for the report It's not 2021. 2021 is for the community corrections. That's for the state attorney. Is it the community corrections? Yes, we're doing it right. Well, because I didn't know that we, I thought we were done with the community corrections. Every time the project is completed, it has to go back to the new evaluation, because it is in a flood zone and has to be re-evaluated. And that is part of the new evaluation. Thank you.

So we agree with that.

I have to look at it. Okay. TIF decision. Decision.

For corridor. Do you need a decision number for this one?

26.

Ich stelle den Antrag, dass wir den Beschluss nonter. 202696 für den Beschluss des Hancock County Board of Commissioners bezüglich der Genehmigung der Erweiterung des Mount Comfort Corridor Economic Development Area und des Zuweisungsgebiets Nummer 1 genehmigen.

Zweitens. Gibt einen Antrag und eine zweite Stimme im Plenum um die Resolution nonter. 2026.9.6 of the Hancock County Board of Commissioners to approve the expansion of the Mount Comfort Corridor Economic Development Area and to approve section number 1.

Zweiter Antrag aus dem Plenum, die Angebote wie vorgelegt anzunehmen. Alle, die dafür sind, sagen mit anderem.

Gibt es noch Kommentare aus der Öffentlichkeit? George, wirklich?

Brauche von Ihnen, dass Sie Ihren Namen nennen und Ihren Nachnamen buchstabieren, damit es für das Protokoll geht, bitte.

My name is Kirsten Karnahan, C-A-R-N-A-H-A-N. Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. My name is Kirsten and I am standing in front of you today not only as a citizen who represents my family or my neighbors in Woodhaven, but also the 1,125 people who have so far signed the petition to stop the equity computer center in Hancock County. I don't think the majority of people want this computer center, but what might be even more important is that we don't want to have the feeling that we are being sold for this computer center. In Woodhaven, the district that would be most affected by this proposed location, there are over 350 houses and over 1,000 inhabitants. If you approve this computer center as it is, tell us that we either don't care about you or that we don't have enough of you, than that you should take care of yourself, than that you should take care of yourself. We will take care of our real estate values, electricity bills and our feeling of peace in our own four walls. Well, I would love it if the countryside remained free of computer centers. I understand the complexity of our today's world and that computer centers could be inevitable. Wie können wir sie also genehmigen, ohne die Bürger unseres Landkreises zu opfern? Wir schaffen die strengsten Leitplanken und Verordnungen, die die Bürger des Landkreises schützen, anstatt sie an den meistbietenden zu verkaufen. Wir schaffen einen Radius von mindestens drei Kilometern zwischen dem Rechenzentrum und den Grundstücken von Wohn- und Gemeinschaftsräumen, um die Anwohner vor den gut dokumentierten und untersuchten schädlichen Auswirkungen von Rechenzentren zu schützen. Wir beginnen bei der Einhaltung der Vorschriften proaktiv zu sein, anstatt nur zu reagieren. Wir stellen einen Compliancebeauftragten für nur ein Rechenzentrum ein, damit dieser die Auswirkungen auf die Umwelt und die Bürger aktiv überwachen und die Bürger aktiv überwachen und untersuchen kann. Wenn wir einen größeren Bereich um ein potenzielles Rechenzentrum festlegen, könnten wir auch viele Probleme wie Baulärm, Verkehr und Arbeitszeiten lösen. Probleme mit Beleuchtung und Lärm könnten ebenfalls gemildert werden, da zwischen dem Rechenzentrum und dem Rest des Landkreises einfach mehr Platz ist. Wenn wir diese Maßnahmen ergreifen, könnten wir auch die Unterstützung der Bürger gewinnen. Those who support the Rechenzentrum may not think about it as if we were in their vicinity, but I do. That's why I'm fighting, because today it's my neighborhood, but tomorrow it's your neighborhood. Every Rechenzentrum that is built in this district, in this country and in the world concerns all of us. And the citizens have the right to express their concerns and to participate in their government. The citizens have elected them and are confident that they will listen to their concerns and put their interests above money and politics. I understand that money rules and the district needs money. The school needs money. Continue the list as much as you want. But if you once sold your citizens to a private equity company and an unknown end user, then you can't undo it. Thank you for your time.

Thank you. Good morning. My name is Kurt Swettner. That's W-A-D-E-N-E-R. I am a resident. From Woodhaven. I am here this morning to ask you to reject the proposed EQT computer center project at the location of the Mount Comfort Technical Center or to request the relocation to an industrial location with a much larger distance to existing residential areas. Ich halte diese Ablehnung dieses Standorts für eine vernünftige Position. Es geht nicht darum, ob Hancock County irgendwo Rechenzentren erlauben sollte. Es geht darum, ob dieser vorgeschlagene Standort mit einer bestehenden Wohnsiedlung vereinbar ist. Woodhaven verfügt über hunderte von bestehenden Einfamilienhäusern, und der vorgeschlagene Standort ist weniger als 800 Meter von Teilen dieser Siedlung entfernt. A land use decision of this magnitude should not require that existing house owners accept avoidable uncertainties in terms of property values, noise pollution around the clock, supply infrastructure, water demand and long-term industrial expansion if there are possibly fewer residential-sensitive locations available. I will introduce several key points to undermine this position. Das Risiko hinsichtlich der Grundstückswerte ist zu erheblich, um es zu ignorieren. Ein Arbeitspapier des UC Berkeley Energy Institute aus dem Jahr 2026 ergab, dass Ankündigungen großer Rechenzentren mit einem durchschnittlichen Rückgang der Immobilienwerte um 7,2% im Umkreis von 1 Meile und etwa 3% im Umkreis von 3 Meilen in den folgenden 5 Jahren verbunden waren. Other investigations have found less or no total effects, so that no sensible house owner will claim that the values in Woodhaven will be guaranteed to drop by a certain percentage. The contradiction in the evidence is in itself a reason not to transfer the risk to existing neighborhoods without a location-specific independent analysis. House owners should not have to prove the exact dollar amount of future damage before the district council makes an unnecessary decision to close an industrial area. 2. Recognize the unresolved effects on the neighborhood. The city council of the district of Hancock County has evaluated the project and the topic for months and stopped its last meeting on September 10. In the documents of the district, problems such as real estate values, construction ruins, normal and low-frequency noise, electricity and infrastructure costs, water, public safety, workplaces, incentives and silence are mentioned. These are not speculative arguments that were invented by opponents. No. These are questions of land use that the district has identified as relevant. Number 3. An industrial use around the clock is fundamentally different from a normal construction in the neighborhood. Cooling systems, cold machines, fans and transformers can be operated continuously. Emergency power units have to be tested and can be in operation in case of power outages. Compressors, transmission infrastructure and devices can change the visual and industrial character of the area. Große Campus können in Phasen gebaut werden, was bedeutet, dass die endgültigen Auswirkungen auf die Bewohner wesentlich größer sein können als beim ersten Gebäude oder in der Phase. Nummer 4. Die Last sollte beim Antragsteller liegen, nicht bei den Hausbesitzern. Wenn der Antragsteller der Ansicht ist, dass dieser Standort betrieben werden kann, Ohne die Anwohner erheblich zu schädigen, sollte der Antragsteller verpflichtet werden, dies vor der Genehmigung durch unabhängige öffentlich einsehbare Studien und verbindliche Bedingungen nachzuweisen. Denn bestehende Hausbesitzer sollten nicht in die Lage versetzt werden, Schäden nach dem Bau zu dokumentieren, wenn eine Verlagerung des Projekts nicht mehr realistisch ist. Nummer 5. Die wirtschaftliche Entwicklung erfordert diesen bestimmten Standort nicht. Nicht. To oppose this location is not the same as to oppose economic development. The district can make investments in computer centers and at the same time set up projects on an industrial scale at locations that offer a much greater separation from existing subdivisions. The relevant planning question is whether the public benefit of this location overcomes the avoidable risk for the surrounding house owners. Therefore, the proposed decision. Number one, rejection of the proposed research center project. Number two, if the district does not want to reject it now, hold back all final permits until independent studies on the property value, on acoustics, on water, on the supply services and on public safety have been concluded and publicly approved. Demand to the applicant to state why a location that is far from existing residential areas is not able to offer the same economic development and the same benefits. Genehmigen Sie keine begrenzte erste Phase, ohne den maximal vernünftigerweise vorhersehbaren vollständigen Ausbau zu bewerten und zu regulieren? Verlangen Sie von allen weiteren Vorschlägen, dass Sie sinnvolle Wohnabstände, gerätespezifische Abstände, Abschirmungen, durchsetzbare Lärmgrenzwerte, Überwachung, Abhilfemaßnahmen und Stilllegungssicherheit umfassen? Die Fragen, die Sie als Entscheidungsträger beantworten sollten, bevor Sie mit Ja stimmen. If this were a new settlement with 358 houses, which should be approved today, the district would then deliberately approve a large 24-7 computer center campus near this proposal. Which independent evidence proves that house owners near will not suffer a considerable loss of marketability or value? Und warum sollten bestehende Hausbesitzer die Ungewissheit tragen, wenn die industrielle Nutzung möglicherweise weiter von der Wohnbebauung entfernt erfolgen kann? Ich habe noch mehrere weitere Punkte, aber um Zeit zu sparen, schließe ich einfach mit diesem ab. Hancock County muss sich nicht zwischen wirtschaftlicher Entwicklung und dem Schutz bestehender Hausbesitzer entscheiden. It can have both, if it prescribes that this kind of industrial development must be settled there, where there is already an appropriate separation. We ask you to reject this location, not the industry. Thank you.

Good morning.

Julie Sedam, her last name is S-E-D-A-M. I know, you are used to me talking to you about computer centers, but I wanted to talk about an idea first, what you could do instead of spending more money for the accommodation of juvenile criminals, which would also be helpful for our country. How about creating a CleanSlate program? They could, and I know it would be an undercut, but it would be better than the development and the work to be done that is connected to the farmers of the tax center. And it would also cover some of their household costs. They could create a program that gives young criminals the opportunity to work off their income costs. They could be brought together with farmers in a safe environment and with appropriate protection, but they could actually give them work. Because nothing is better than hard work to get your head free and think. And maybe it would help you to understand the idea, to work instead of taking a gun in your hand and chasing someone with something other than your fists. That may sound a bit aloof, but I mean it. A program for a new start would be a great program that you can create here in Hancock County. And I would like to make another remark. It is not unnoticed that we have already created additional plots in the Mount Comfort Road Corridor in June, made them related and added to a TIF district. This shows me that there is a lot of preventive planning to make it possible, what they plan with the EQT. And that's why I'm against it. Because EQT is owned, look at that, it is bound to a foreign country, Qatar. I don't know how you do it, but I don't like it. I don't think it's a good idea. You don't want to give a price or haven't given a price for who you're building. I also think it's dangerous. I told you not to talk about accounting, but I left the topic. So, clean slate program, consider that instead of an accounting center. Thank you.

Thank you. Anyone else?

Application for application. Second. Second application for application in the plenum. Everyone in favor say yes.
