0:00 – 0:14Speaker 4

All right, well, good morning, everyone. I'll call this meeting of the Lake County E911 Authority to order. It is June 5th, 2026, 8.06 a.m. Do we have any changes to the agenda?

0:17 – 1:46Speaker 4

All right. All right, I'll make a motion to approve today's agenda. Second. Cool. Any further discussion? No. All right. Hearing no further discussion, all in favor of approving today's agenda? Agenda's approved. We'll move on to directory reports. I'll start off with just an update on our Central Square. We had a demo with Central Square to show us all their systems. I met with Devon and he started going over pricing, what it would take, and kind of how it would be split between agencies and dispatch center and whatnot. Chief Trilka brought up the Waterloo Chief. brought up some concerns about a potential lawsuit against Central Square with some undelivered promises. We heard the same type of thing from Boulder County. So I brought that up to Vonda here at Central Square side of things so we can hear both sides of the story there. So he's gonna look into that and give us an answer. I'll follow up with everybody once we hear back from them. I think it's appropriate given the cost that we go through an RFP process and look into what other options we have if we're looking at switching systems. I also reached out to Flex to request their pricing structure changes that are in the near future and how that will affect us so we can have a proper cost analysis between the different software platforms. That's all I have.

1:49 – 3:16Speaker 5

I was going to meet with you in person, Sarah. I didn't know that you were going to be remote today. But I just need to meet with you about the SOP. I know we're working on SOPs. It's up to me and Jeremiah to get with you. And I know that you and Captain Slutsky have been talking about the fire resource ordering. I think there's two different kind of documents or two different kind of standard operating procedures that we're talking about. So we sent out an email to have a meeting date on that. And I'd like to be able to just get this over the finish line. I really appreciate and really like the mutual aid SOP that you came up with. And then the other one is just for resource ordering. In my opinion, it needs to be two, probably two separate SOPs. That's my initial thoughts on it. Just wanted to have a conversation about it so that we could get those two SOPs in order. And then the other thing is Active 911. I know that there's been some delay on that with IT, I believe. And I'd like to be able to see where I can help with that to also get that on board. Thoughts on any of that?

3:19 – 4:07Speaker 2

Yeah, no, I agree. They should be two separate SOPs. And that was kind of the idea behind it, because my understanding was that the resource order request is only basically when they're requesting for wildland fire deployment versus a mutual aid, like if Chafee County was requesting you guys to respond. for a structure fire or something else like that. But usually they need to be two separate ones. And then as far as the active 911, I resubmitted the IT ticket because they closed it. I don't know why, because I talked, but we need somebody above him to actually integrate the system into Flex. So he said that somebody above him needed to do that. So I resubmitted an IT ticket, but I haven't heard anything from him yet.

4:08Speaker 5

Okay. Uh, if you need any help with that, please let me know.

4:11 – 4:23Speaker 2

Okay. Yeah. It's through iron edge. And so I don't think you guys have access to them. Um, but maybe that's something that I'll try reaching out to them again and moving forward with it.

4:24 – 4:52Speaker 5

Okay. Uh, and you know, the, the why behind that is that we're trying to go away from a lot of our pagers and just going into that system, I think would be just broadly better for us as an agency. And if it puts more workload on you, please let me know what that is and see, you know, if we need to figure out a way to make that an efficient thing. Please just, yeah, like I said, please just let me know.

4:53 – 5:14Speaker 2

Yeah, no, I agree. I think, I mean, I used Active 911 at Woodland. It's a great resource. I think it'd be really beneficial for you guys up here. I think even Dan, you guys used it for UpRad. So I think it'd be super simple once we can just get Iron Edge to actually get it installed and working.

5:15Speaker 5

Okay. Yeah, that would be pretty good. Great. And then do you have any other SOPs that are going to be coming out to review?

5:26 – 5:38Speaker 2

Yeah, I'm going to be, I'm working this weekend. And so that's what I plan on working on is finishing up the SOP. But I'm in the ESSA still, so it shouldn't be too much work. more coming. But once they're out, it should be pretty easy to review.

5:39Speaker 5

Okay. I'll take a look at those as they come out. Thank you.

5:47 – 6:53Speaker 4

Chief Trelko, you have anything for us? Can't hear you. All right, well, Chief, we can't hear you, so if you have something for us, maybe just type it in the chat and we'll move on to an introduction with Dan number three, Dan Campbell, our new Emergency Manager Director. So glad to have you on board. Appreciate you stepping into so many different roles and responsibilities. This is an important one that affects all of us. So again, thank you and welcome aboard. So, um, any, anything for us? Just happy to be here. Thank you for having me and I'm excited to get started. Awesome. Awesome. Great. Um, Sarah.

6:57 – 9:23Speaker 2

I'm trying to remember everything that Jeremiah put me down for. I know I sent out an email. I typed up an after action report for the power outage that happened, um, on May 16th. I have yet to get an official cause of what caused the power failures. Um, but based off of the timeline. I know that the state has been asking questions about what happened because CenturyLink was never notified that the phones were down or that our systems were down, but Entrato was notifying me, actually, that our 911s were down. So the state, I think, is going to be doing some investigative work into what happened and why CenturyLink wasn't notified and if that's a process that we need to do on our side or if it was a mislink or step on the CenturyLink side. I did have a conversation with Noah McClure with DHSEM about our backups because in Toronto, there's about a 30-minute time lapse from when I was being notified by Daniela and in Toronto that our systems were down. If somebody had called 911 in those 30 minutes and it was a life or death situation, they wouldn't have gotten through to anybody because our phones don't automatically roll over to Chasey County or to any other county. So looking at maybe creating some MOUs. I'm going to be talking to some of our other counties about maybe making them our backup for when our phones go down so that way they automatically roll. That way we're not having that gap of if somebody were to call 911 and not make it through to any center. It's a big concern at this stage. Noah agreed. We should probably start looking at that. So I'm going to reach out to Casey. I'm going to reach out to Clark and Summit and just kind of see who's open to being our backup center and start those discussions and then get with Entrato to ensure that anytime our phones go down, they automatically can roll to another county, which is what used to do, they used to roll the teller and same inside Teller County, they would roll between the three agencies and then a 911 didn't get answered. So I just think as a safety precaution is something that we need to look at versus them going anyway.

9:26 – 10:05Speaker 4

Okay. Sammy, did the chief throw something into the chat? i did can you hear me now yeah i got you now all right the mic comes and goes i don't know why i have nothing okay all right um yeah we'll move on seeing no members of the public here for public comment we'll push through that move on to new business and discussion and uh we'll go over our first agenda item with uh with jackie jackie good morning thanks for being here this morning um If you don't mind going over your updates with us, that'd be great.

10:05Speaker 1

Good morning. I don't mind at all. I tried to lock my cat out, so I apologize if you hear her in the background.

10:15 – 12:54Speaker 1

She didn't stay locked out. So there's several things going on in the state. And yes, I did talk a little bit with Jennifer about your power outage. And Sarah, I'm happy to help with whatever you need there. And also, we can make sure through reports that we can see if there were any calls that didn't go anywhere. So the state is looking at an improvement plan with the tariff. Every two years, CenturyLink is required to file a new improvement plan. Part of what was going on with the last one, they haven't finished, but now they've sent in another one. They have some initial costs that they put in there that I've shared in here. And so you guys have three concurrent sessions. So your one-time charge would be almost $500, and then a monthly reoccurring would be almost $600. And those are, if they're baked into the tariff, are part of what's reimbursed in the statewide surcharge. The 911 service enterprise has indicated that they will have grants available. I'm hoping perhaps we can file for the EMD reimbursement because it's one of the things on their list as a priority to help pay for. But they don't have their grant application published yet. They did have a meeting last, was that yesterday? Yesterday evening they had a meeting I was not able to attend. So I'll check their minutes to see if they have any kind of process together. And as soon as I get that, I'll get that off to you guys. I did end up scanning the remainder of all the 911 revenue. And I did that last Monday. So as soon as I get all that put together, I'll have a kind of a statement there. And I can also make sure that people have changed their surcharge to the $2.17. I do need to sit down and I know it's a little bit early to start budgeting, but we're going to have to start budgeting in order to fill out the application for a surcharge increase. And so I did look at the current budget and everything looked all right there. I just need to sit down and have scheduled some time to sit down and go through everything line by line. to make sure that we can know what cost we want to go to with the surcharge. I did some math, and I don't know if you guys can see my report.

12:55Speaker 6

No, currently. Can you see it?

12:57 – 13:43Speaker 1

Or should I share it? Let's see. Let me share it. Somebody will have to enable me. and you enable sharing not yet okay i just want you to see the numbers just so that i'm not you're you're kind of like not going what did she say what was the search you don't have 71 cents 217. auditory dyslexia

13:45Speaker 4

I'll go over the numbers, but I can't share yet.

13:58 – 18:34Speaker 1

Basically, we're at 217 and I did some historic because they changed the law in 2021 to where every year the PUC can look at inflation and set the surcharge. And so I did some historic calculations on the surcharge. And I also then added what I thought they might estimate the surcharge to be in 2027. And they told me that they usually use May's Bureau of Labor Statistics inflation rate. April's was at 3.8%. So 3.69% is a projected surcharge rate of 225 starting next year. um so the other thing i did and um like i said as soon as we can i will get this shared let's see or can you guys share it let's see um you should be able to now oh i could share it okay there we go now can you guys see the numbers okay so i did some um kind of past what you've received in just um ETC revenue, which is just your local surcharge revenue. And so I did some math on the percentage of a change. And from 2025 to 2025 to 2026, there was about a 3.8% change projected. In just the revenue going up to 2. The line counts also increased by about 3%. And so I calculated the next percentages based on that calculation of. 3% line count increase and then rejected revenues. So the prepaid I did separately, as you can see there, and it increases. The prepaid increases with inflation with whatever they set the statewide surcharge at. So as the tariff increases or as the enterprise, the 911 Enterprise Services wants more money, then the surcharge for prepaid goes up. And it went up pretty substantially this year. And then the statewide revenue, that's pretty much your reimbursement for what you're paying out. And so I have that projected in here as well. So, the total revenue projected for 2026 is around 285,000 dollars. So, the other chart I put in here. I hope you guys can share this report with each other so you could look at it later too. But the other one I put in here was on the 3% increase for line counts, 3% increase in your emergency telephone charge, which is your local surcharge. I put, if you go to, these are the amounts that the surcharge will automatically change year over year. with those guesstimates. Again, it's not perfect math, but it's projected in its guesstimates. So in order to do a surcharge increase above the threshold, I also put together a chart that basically tells you when we look at budget and see where you really need to be, we can decide, do you want to stick with the threshold? Do you want to go above the threshold? And I did it a penny, a couple of pennies above, then I did it at 50. $250, $275, and $3. And then there's the estimated rate revenue. I took the 2% off because some companies take 2%, some do not, but I took it off just to have some math. So this is what surcharge increase would look like if you went above the threshold in 2027. And like I said, as the budget, as we do the budget, go through the budget so that I could fill out the surcharge increase application, we would need to decide on what amount we want to go up to.

18:35 – 19:04Speaker 4

I sent it to you, Dan. Are there any questions? I just emailed this to everybody on the board, so you guys all have this in your email now. Thank you. So I didn't send it out earlier, but... Thank you, Jackie. That's great.

19:05Speaker 6

Thanks, Jackie.

19:07Speaker 1

You're welcome. And then there's also in my report the legislative updates, which are done this year.

19:19Speaker 4

OK. Yeah, let me know, Jackie, when you want to connect on the budget.

19:24 – 19:48Speaker 1

Yeah, I'll look at my calendar and get everything set. And then I'll send out some dates to meet with you guys so that we can sit down and go through things line by line. It'd be easier to do that up front. And then the board may have to have a work session so that it's not, you know, just a little piece of your agenda and have time to. That sounds like a great plan.

19:48 – 20:10Speaker 4

Thank you very much. All right, no other questions for Jackie. Jackie, again, thank you. We'll move on to a report from Director Sarah Beard. We have four items for you. It's the employee handbook review, dispatch power outage event discussion, EMD invoice request, and radio etiquette.

20:12 – 21:28Speaker 2

Yeah, so I just realized I didn't send you guys the employee handbook. I know Chief Bailey and Jeremiah have it, but I'll make sure the rest of the board gets it for review. Um, I'm sure we'll legal and then County HR review it as well. Um, it just kind of based off of what we talked about, Sarah, it gives the more clarity and defines the thing a little bit more specific to just the mouth, um, for the employees, such as time off requests, late call out drugs, alcohol, um, all of that. So. uh chief daly and jeremiah just to confirm you guys didn't have anything that needed to be changed or added to it but that the board was ready for it to be reviewed yeah i didn't see anything i mean did i recommend i can't remember whether i recommended it be shown to everybody was that my recommendation i can't remember i remember but i really don't i don't But I can, like I said, we can either share it now or I can just send it out to the board for you guys to review, whatever works for you guys.

21:30Speaker 5

I think sending it to the board for review would be great.

21:34 – 22:02Speaker 2

Okay, perfect. Yeah, I'll do that as soon as I get off the meeting. Like I said, on the power outage, I sent that already, that after auction for the board to review. Jackie, I would absolutely love to touch base and see. I don't think we missed any calls, but I think it's important to just verify that we didn't miss any 911 calls in those first 30 minutes.

22:02Speaker 1

Okay, great. We'll set up a meeting. Thanks.

22:06 – 24:26Speaker 2

Awesome. Thank you. What was the next thing on the item? Oh. So I know Erica said that the check was being sent out this week to Priority Dispatch. I know Ken with Priority Dispatch sent her an email yesterday, but I don't know if Erica emailed her or emailed Ken confirming that the check was sent. If we can just verify that because we're overdue by several weeks. I'm sure they would like to get that figured out. I did have a meeting with Ben on Wednesday to start the process. We'll probably be live with EMD in four to six months. This depends on how quickly we can move. I did bring up the fact that we were looking at other CAD systems. So he said that we're slotted for three stations. We can have up to five if I... enable a training station to be just an actual station for the program itself, not the card that's the actual program on the dispatch desktop. But he said that we have it, so as soon as we're ready to implement them, whether we're changing CAD systems or not, we can do that. It's not a fact to implement them now because we've already essentially paid for it. So he did recommend that probably go that route just because of our size. And if we are looking at a remodel or moving or just swapping our areas where we get an extra station, as we said, that we should be about, we should be live with EMD in about four to six months. And that just is to get everybody trained, certified, and then we can start going live with EMD. But I do need the paid... folks just so I can get it to the healthcare coalition. Um, and we have to have it kind of like ASAP, if that's possible, um, because they are, we did get granted almost $38,000 for it. Um, and they have to get it paid this month. So, um, sure. If you, if you can help get me a copy of that, that would be fantastic. Okay.

24:28 – 25:00Speaker 4

I apologize for all those delays. I know we had quite a few hiccups with that invoice and budgeting and all that stuff. We've worked through a lot of those. What's that? What was that for again? For the EMD, the $100,000 invoice for EMD. So we've made a lot of progress on it, but we hit another obstacle this week with it. But as soon as we get that confirmation that the check was printed, Erica knows to send that to them to show that it has been sent. And is that due to the coalition by the 15th? Is that the deadline?

25:04Speaker 2

Yeah, so if it can go to me and Jeremiah, that way one of us sees it and can get it sent out, that would be great.

25:11Speaker 4

Okay, great. Will do.

25:15 – 26:26Speaker 2

Awesome. Thank you, sir. The only thing I had on radio etiquette is I've noticed a lot between all of our agencies is we just have different things that are being said. and it's not very consistent. So I don't know if we need to have a working session or I don't know how you guys want to go about it, but like just making sure our verbiage is the same across the board. You know, I know some people slip up and do 10 codes. Some people slip up and I say code four. I don't think we have a clear defined if there's an officer in trouble, what they air or, I mean, obviously fire and EMS has made a, but I just don't think there's, we've got clear verbiage all the way across all of our agencies. And so I think it would be really helpful for our dispatchers to also have that. So that way, When we have new people coming on or people from other agencies that are going to be helping us, it's not super confusing when one agency says something, but another agency is using a different word or a different thing to say something, if that makes any sense at all.

26:26 – 27:02Speaker 5

I would agree, Sarah. Internally in our organization, we have common terminology, and it's just a format that we use, and it's all listed out. I would love to be able to do that. And what I've also been seeing is that, well, yesterday on that rollover accident, people are saying, you know, hey, this is Incident Command on Lake Command. Why are they telling dispatch what channel they're on? Dispatch should be monitoring the channels that are a part of the scene, correct?

27:03Speaker 5

Yeah, so I think that we could clean up our communication out there. There's just a lot of, it's a lot, it's very wordy.

27:11Speaker 2

Yeah, sometimes it's like a dissertation on the radio and I just need to just say you, it's me and vice versa. Yeah, I would love to see it cleaned up.

27:22 – 27:34Speaker 5

Yeah, like the ambulance is saying they're on dispatch and, you know, the fire guys are saying they're on command and there's no reason for all that. It's just too much, I think. So common terminology would be great.

27:34Speaker 4

Maybe a work session on it would be awesome.

27:39Speaker 2

Awesome. Yes. Chief Troka, I see your hands up.

27:42 – 28:17Speaker 6

Yeah. So, I mean, a work session would be good, but even if he could send us a document of one or two pages of what you're looking for, because yeah, I do see it across the board too. We have many people coming in from different agencies and different agencies have different protocols We have different disciplines, police, fire, EMS, and it is across the board. So either a work session or a document to us to prepare for the work session as to exactly what you're looking for to give us some direction.

28:18 – 28:36Speaker 5

How about this? Would it make sense, sir, to have the document of what you're looking for? bring to the board to have a work session to see if there's anything or any ideas that we may have on our agencies, and then we can push it out as a training to all of us individually.

28:36Speaker 2

Yeah, I think that would be helpful.

28:39 – 28:58Speaker 2

Yeah. And with that, I'll probably also include all of the problem majors. Um, cause I know we've had some new ones and I know there are some that are specific to the city of Leadville and not specifically the county, um, to face off of ordinances. So I think having a list of all of our active problem majors would be helpful too.

29:00 – 29:18Speaker 3

And since we're coming up with EMD, Sarah, you might want to throw some training about EMD and stuff in there as well, I would say. Yeah. Just kind of give them a list of what the stuff means. The six delta one is, well, you can see what that is.

29:20 – 29:43Speaker 2

Yeah, and Dan, see, I'll probably get with you, seeing as we both come from agencies with it, and then you can maybe, you can speak the EMS fire side of it a little bit better than I can. I can speak the dispatch and top side and how I explain it to officers, but maybe we can get together and find a way to present that and educate it.

29:43Speaker 3

Happy to, absolutely. Awesome.

29:47Speaker 2

Okay, so that's all I have.

29:49Speaker 4

Great. Cool. Any questions for Sarah?

29:53 – 30:17Speaker 5

I just have a comment. Sarah, I just really appreciate the service that everybody's being provided by your leadership. And I just, I really appreciate that. I just wanted to make mention of that. I haven't seen you in a while and it's just been so great. So thank you. Yeah, I agree. Absolutely.

30:17Speaker 2

Thank you. I appreciate it.

30:22 – 32:28Speaker 4

All right, we'll move on to item number three is in reference to on call pay for for Sarah. I'll leave this discussion, give you a little background and on this topic. So Sarah is wearing multiple hats. She's in an exempt position. So she's not getting paid overtime or but when she also wears a hat of being You know, a line level supervisor. She's placing herself on call 24-7, essentially. We do have dispatch supervisors, Mary and Daniella, who are serving in those capacities, but if they're out sick or on vacation, Sarah's filling in that role. And it seemed fair to me to have this discussion with the board to see if we're willing to pay her an on-call stipend when she's wearing that specific hat. And Sarah, as a director, kind of always on call, but it's really not... 100% requires you can go on vacation or whatnot and have things established. But when she decides that, okay, Danielle is out for a week. I'm going to be the on-call supervisor. Her phone's by her side. She's ready to come on, answer a phone call. She has a lot of life restrictions, which is part of the reasons why we pay an on-call stipend is because you're putting yourself out there to be available 24-7. So because she's wearing those multiple hats, I thought it would be fair to say let's consider paying her an on-call stipend when she's in those specific situations and follow it according to the county handbook, which is $30 a day that you're on call during the weekdays, $60 on the weekends, and $100 on holidays. There's also a minimum of two-hour payout if she's called out. If she works three hours, she gets paid three hours. If she comes in to cover a whole shift, she gets paid for that whole shift plus the stipend. So it seemed like a fair move. It would be something that would be removed from our overtime budget. And from a budget standpoint, we have reserves in there. I don't think this would cause any sort of budgetary strains. It would just be a fair move. Sarah, did you have anything to add to that? And maybe from your perspective, if you don't mind adding, how often do you think that would happen? How often has it happened?

32:30 – 33:19Speaker 2

Um, it hasn't happened often. I'm on call tonight. Um, no, not tonight. Today's Friday. I'm on call tomorrow. It's Saturday. Um, and it's the only other, I've only other covered, uh, three other shifts when Daniela actually took some time off. Uh, and then Mary was, um, obviously out as well. So it doesn't happen very often. Um, and that's only then since I've even started in October, um, only a handful, not even a handful, less than that. I appreciate it. I appreciate the thought. I had a conversation with the sheriff on it. Obviously, I know I'm salaried as an exec, so if the board decides not to go that route, I'm completely okay with it either way. I just really appreciated it. The thought and the gesture of it.

33:19 – 33:40Speaker 5

I'm in full support of it. How do we do that work around? Is there any policy stating that Just because she's salary employee that she can receive this? I mean, is there something stating that she can or cannot?

33:40 – 33:57Speaker 4

Yeah, can or cannot. I'm sorry, I don't know if it is defined in the county handbook one way or the other. But I think if the board makes the decision on this, then we can work with HR in making sure that this is a possibility to get this paid out.

33:57Speaker 5

No, you're good.

34:04 – 34:16Speaker 2

I talked to HR about it with the OEM stuff as well. And she said, because we're a child agency, it would be the board's discretion. Perfect.

34:16Speaker 5

That answers that question. Yeah, I'm in full support. Absolutely. Absolutely.

34:23Speaker 4

Cool. Well, chief, anything to add?

34:27 – 35:00Speaker 4

We have it at our agency. She's entitled to it. Makes sense to me so. If there's no questions on, I will take it to a vote to. To authorize on call pay for the 911 director when she's serving in a outside that capacity as a supervisor and on call status to follow county handbook on call stipend process so. Make a motion. Second. Any further discussion? Hearing no further discussion, all in favor of the on-call pay stipend for E911 director? Aye.

35:05 – 35:28Speaker 4

Okay. So Sarah, we'll get with HR and see if there's anything special we need to do with your Tyler account. So when you're on call, you can enter that. You might be able to do that today. So since you have some days coming up where you're going to be on that on-call status, see if that's there. And if not, we can add that to your account so you can have that option to get paid out for that.

35:30 – 38:03Speaker 4

All right. Moving on to item number four. This is the E911 board position restructure discussion. We have, I'll leave this one also. Again, welcome. You've had the vacancy for a while. Claire served. on the board as our treasurer, and that treasurer position's been vacant. According to the IGA, what happens during a term of serving as an officer position, you would just fill her role. But I think we look at restructuring this across the board, so my request today is if we feel comfortable enough making a vote on a new election for different board positions, that we do that today. Jeremiah is not here today, and so he's currently, so just where we're at currently, he's currently serving as the secretary. I'm the chair, vice chair, chief daily, chief truck is at large, and then the treasury position is vacant, which essentially you would fill in too. We've got some things we've learned over almost three years now serving with this new established board. that we're all from different entities, which I think brings the value to this board, but also brings some obstacles. And one of the obstacles we've encountered is just keeping the all-important communication flow going through the secretary role with somebody who's out of county and doesn't have access to our systems problematic. So the suggestion that I'm bringing today is that the new EM director, Dan Threat, would take on the role of secretary and have access to all county systems, help out established or agendas get those posted online and minutes posted keep track of everything so all within our county systems and so if we're going to make that change that just kind of opens it all up me personally as the board chair i'm happy to continue to serve in the in the chair position and the rest of the board agrees to that also i'm not here to make a strong campaign for it i'm here to do what's best for the board But just to let everybody know, I'm willing to continue that. So what that leaves available for discussion would be those two, agreeing with those two suggestions, but also what is everybody's thoughts on vice chair position, treasurer, and the at-large role.

38:04 – 38:30Speaker 5

So I'd love to hear from you, Chief. Well, I think the easiest transition would just to flip-flop Jeremiah and OEM. Just have Jeremiah do treasurer and Office of Emergency Management do secretary. I know that Trelka just took on additional responsibility to the city. So I know that his plate's going to be full. I prefer to stay in my position.

38:32Speaker 4

So that's my thoughts on that. Chief Trelka, what you got for us?

38:37Speaker 6

I agree with the fire chief.

38:42 – 39:11Speaker 4

Any thoughts? No, I think that's fine. I'd happily do that. Well, I think it's not fair today to take this to a vote without Jeremiah being here to voice his opinion. We'll just throw him in that role and surprise him. But yeah, I'd like to hear his thoughts. I think as we sit now, the general feeling is just a swap of roles with Jeremiah and the EM director. I have a question.

39:11 – 39:36Speaker 5

What What's the job responsibilities as the treasurer? How ingrained is Sarah now with that process as the director? And do you see that some of the work that you've been doing as the treasurer and whoever else has held that position, do you see that the responsibilities are softening a little bit with more of her input and more of her work for her agency?

39:37 – 42:15Speaker 4

Yes, I do see this. We already have. You're utilizing a lot of county functions right now to help fill the responsibilities of the treasurer. Which is going to pose a challenge. Right, absolutely. We're running out of county employees to do that, so it would take some extra steps there. However, since a lot of it already is being handled through the county, it would just be working a little closer with them and continuing to work with me and Jackie and whatnot. And I can read it real quick. The treasurer shall receive and deposit appropriate bank accounts, all monies of the authority, which is a process that's already being handled right now, and shall disburse such funds as directed by resolution of the authority. And this is during our budget process. cause an annual audit of the authority's books to be made by a certified public accountant. Again, these are things the county's already doing for us. And shall prepare the annual budget. So we already have... Sarah will help us. Correct. And so Sarah continues to get her feet underneath her with all these different responsibilities. Now exposing more and more of the budget to her. Uh, we'll help her with her reporting to us and to different user agencies and her understanding of the budget. So, um, yeah, it's a, there's a lot of responsibilities there. I think it's, um, hopefully a more of a role in just oversight and making sure that these things are happening and, uh, not necessarily getting too deep into the weeds. Um, but we'll, we'll table this, uh, discussion and consideration for this change to the next meeting and, um, get Jeremiah's input. Any other questions, thoughts, comments on item number four? Great. Okay. All right. Last item is just a question of really closing this meeting out. Our next meeting is in July. We usually do the first Friday. It's July 3rd, but that one's a holiday. Maybe pull out calendars and discuss that. Throughout the first suggestion, we just move it to Thursday, July 2nd. But I'm not sure. Can you look at the schedule?

42:16Speaker 3

This is for this room, yeah.

42:17Speaker 4

For this room, okay.

42:22 – 42:40Speaker 5

That was actually the best for me, yeah. Okay. I wouldn't be able to point it until that following Friday, wouldn't I? Sarah, are you available on the second?

42:41Speaker 2

Yeah, I've got one meeting at 9 a.m., but I'm free the rest of the day.

42:47Speaker 5

Great. Is that going to be an hour meeting?

42:52Speaker 2

No, it's 30 minutes. If everybody gets on it, it splits.

42:59Speaker 4

Yeah, let's shoot for 10. Chief Trelka, how does that work for you? That works good for me. Is Jackie available to join us that day?

43:09Speaker 1

I am available that day.

43:12 – 43:59Speaker 4

All right, great news. Rescheduling has never been so easy. I know. All right, so we'll roll with that same location. We'll go back to our 10 to approximate noon time window for our July meeting. And maybe you can reach out to Jeremiah. That'd be great. We didn't get minutes to approve, so we'll skip number five and we'll go ahead and if there's nothing else, adjourn the meeting. All right, so we'll close out this meeting.

43:59Speaker 5

Our next meeting will be July 2nd, 10 a.m. in this room.

44:02Speaker 4

Meeting adjourned at 8.49 a.m. I really appreciate everybody's time today and all you're doing for us. Thank you.
