We call this beer. I pledge our allegiance to our flag. Thank you everyone and once again welcome. Glad everyone is here. Start out with first order of business is approval of minutes. I have a motion and a second. All in favor? I'm sorry. Roll call, please.

Yes. Good. Yes. Yes. Harper. Yes. Crawford. Yes. Holden. Yes. Baker. Yes. Better. Approval minutes. Representative from Brad. Diana, would you come forward, please? How are you this morning? I'm good. How are you doing? Well,

thank you all for having me today. Um, as the judge already mentioned, my name is Diana Crockett and I'm with the Marin River area development district and I'm the disaster resiliency coordinator there. Um, I'm joining you all here today this morning to spread the word on the update of your county strategic plan. Brad is partnering with all of our counties and cities across the region to refresh their existing strategic plans. updated about 5 years ago. You might remember that I was here about 5 years ago talking about this if you um and we just want to ensure that your current goals are still relevant and that the data is up to date on these plans. Um and then also taking any necessary action steps that will reflect today's community needs and funding opportunities. Um as part of this effort, we're also going to be updating the regional hazard mitigation plan, which is a requirement by FEMA to be updated every 5 years. Um and so this planning effort will bring together topics like economic development, housing, hazard mitigation, uh workforce, tourism, infrastructure, civ civic engagement into one coordinated countywide plan. Um throughout 2026, the local county steering committee will meet regularly to review those pro progress uh provide any local insight and help shape the priorities and implementation of this of this plan. participation is flexible and you can include uh by attending meetings, sharing feedback or even help identify potential projects with the county and community. Uh for your convenience, we have provided a handout that gives a brief overview of the planning process uh with the tenative list of dates for your county's meetings. Uh we're especially encouraging all elected officials, community leaders, and partners to participate as your perspective is critical to ensure the plan reflects your community's needs um and goals. You can view your existing plan at planning.bgbrad.org. Um, and then you can just click to your county's plan down there or you can scan the QR code that is on the handouts. Um, let me just

at the conclusion of this planning process, you will be asked to consider um two resolutions. One will be to the update the county strategic plan and the second will be to adopt the regional housing mitigation plan. The adoption of the mitigation plan is critical as FEMA does require each jurisdiction to formally adopt their plan in order to remain eligible for FEMA funding. Um, so thank you for your time and for your continued leadership to our community. I would be happy to answer any questions that you might have. That resolution will be towards December or January once the plan is complete and you've had a chance to review it um that you'll be adopting. But we just wanted to kind of give you a heads up and give you all a opportunity to meet You can come to one of those meetings, you can come to all of them. It's completely optional. Whatever you would like to do, you don't have to sign up. All you have to do is just kind of show up at the date and time. Um, and we are emailing those out regularly to keep you all informed. Does anybody have any questions that I might be able to answer for you guys?

I do. We have a personnel action request for a new hire. So, uh, Brandon workforce. Gosh, it's been a long time. 20 plus years ago, but uh basically he is a certified officer. He moved to Alabama and worked 10 plus years at Enterprise PD. He has moved back to the area and um applied and we have rehired him to be a road deputy. He uh also had did 22 years and retired from the National Guard. So he moved down to Enterprise Alabama because he worked and participated in Blackhawks.

Yeah. So, uh, he's a very good asset. Like I said, he's got 13 years of experience and, uh, he he's from the area, so it's it's a pretty good win for us. So, he's still energetic, ready to go to the streets and work. So, he missed you so much he wanted to come back. He did. somebody else. He's 47. Heard as soon as he turned 18, he got 22 years in Alabama 20 years.

No, he messed around. So when he was here, I forgot what where he was stationed where he did his guard training at some different places, but he down there to be near the near the base. He was doing his Blackhawk stuff and so he got that's where he learned. So he worked at Enterprise PD and did his guard training for record for record. So who knows, but right now that was the old name. Yep. That's not program. Oh, is that how they changed it?

I think I think they changed them. Yeah. Well, he got changed and then the new administration in Washington changed it back and forth.

So, they might keep their own since I rename it. By the way, motion to approve the personal action request for Brandon W. Arman effective February 23rd, 2026 with 13 years credit experience in the salary schedule LC-SO-1. Second. I have a motion and a second. No objections. Roll call. Yes.

Right now, the whole hall is full of equipment, but in about 3 weeks, we'll have the new stuff in there and we'll have everything ready to go. Absolutely. Everything else I think we have is on the agenda for later. We've been in full uh communication with uh all the providers. So they know the drop date and they are ready to go.

Ready to go. Oh, how exciting. Will this be the final phase? Yeah. Well, other I mean I have you know there's always something but this will be the the last big thing for for a little while.

Then she'll come back and she's she's 18. So hoping she'll stay. You you got some you got a part time to spot, don't you? I've got two part time spots. Two part time spots. Okay. But fulltime spots are full. Full time spots are full. Yeah. All right. Thank you.

Thank you, Ginger. Uh moving forward, archives and grant update. Denise shoulders. You have any for us today, Denise? Yes, she does. Okay. Um, we would like permission to submit a grant on behalf of the animal shelter. It is for or to the Lowe's community impact project. It will be a 100% um and it will be for kennel repairs. Kennel repair.

The last one that we applied for was not chosen. Their answers are always too many submitted. Had to pick. Right. So, I found this one uh I think just yesterday maybe and would like to submit this one. Um failed to write down the date, but we we have just a little bit of time but not a lot. Did uh did Eric's group come to Okay. Did Eric's group come to you requesting or did you just find it? I found this one and sent it to him and said, "Hey, this is out there. Do you have any ideas?" and he said yes.

Okay. Well, because the Humane Society contacted me and said, "Is there any way if you have that kind of grants come forward, they could get some, too." And I said, "I would ask." And when people ask me that, my answer is always, "You need to talk to Judge Baker and and and see what he says because as the county's grant writer, I answer to you guys." All right. Good answer. I'll just address it later. So we need a vote to yes motion to allow our grant writer to make such applications for the Lowe's grant. Second have a motion in a second. Any discussion broker? Yes. Good. Yes.

Yes. Harper. Yes. Crawford. Yes. Balden. Yes. Baker.

Yes. getting some coffee. Okay. The other thing that I have is um I'm going to tell you the truth and that is I had no idea this would have been considered a improvement to the building or this would have gone differently. I asked in January the society's board for permission to have fire and smoke alarms installed into the residence of the archives. The vault we're not really worried about because it's steel, it's stone, and there's so much in there you'd have to spend a crazy amount of time spreading things on the floor, spreading an accelerant. So, we focused on the house. Um, we have been talking about this internally for a number of years. We found a company that installs fire and smoke alarms that actually notify you via text if smoke or fire is detected. Had no idea that doing this was considered an improvement to the building or I would have asked before we did this. So after we did this or at the same time that I'm getting approval from the society to do this, one of the board members said, "Well, why isn't the court paying for this?" So I don't know. I'll ask. So after the fact, I'm asking we'll respect what the court um responds with. We had six alarms installed into the house. There's three downstairs, three upstairs. Um every room in the house except for the bathrooms now has an alarm. There's an app on my phone. I can pull it up at any time, tell you what that alarm is registering as a temperature in that area, what that alarm needs, if anything. It will notify me only. Um up to eight people can be on the alarm notifications um if there is fire or smoke detected. I feel like having these in place is

better than a random resident dropping down the street in the middle of the night and there is smoke and fire coming from the building. Um they did cost $3,745. We have already paid that but because of the expense my board asked will the county cover that. So when y'all were seeking when to put in y'all yourselves your board got the quotes. Yes. So we we weren't part of that process. Okay. I think we we would have been part of that process for

us. I mean I I don't obviously I don't think we need it and I think you know if it would come to this court I would have been as supported doing it but um we still have to go through the certain we got to get three quotes if it's under a certain amount of money and you know that would have been requirement of getting proed right it you know it's a benefit to to the building and it's our building and I would suggest that we just go ahead and pay. We've got the money in there for it for maintenance on that. I would consider a maintenance and I suggest that we go ahead and cover the cost of it. So, it's not a yearly maintenance.

No, no, no, no, no. I'm sorry. We have money in the maintenance of the building. I would consider this an improvement or maintenance of the building. Reimburing reimbursing the geological geological society. So, these these actually have no maintenance, no monitoring fees at all. They run off our Wi-Fi. Um, those notifications come and anything that they need, I just message or call the local representative, they come take care of them and it costs nothing more than the installation fee that we've already paid. Yeah, I think this is a oneoff. Uh, and everybody needs to understand it's a one-off. you can't do this again and say,

"Well, we did this and this was an improvement to your building as well and you owe us $14,000. I would agree that this is a one home to Tower. We didn't follow proper steps, but y'all weren't asking, you know, y'all just, you know, kind of went through that process and your board brought it up. I I get it and it is our Lord, but I would say next time I'd be a hard no, but there won't be a next time.

Yeah. Yeah. That's not I'm just saying, you know, they would set president for a lot of other departments, right? You know, and say, well, we operate in your building and we wanted to do X and it was an improvement to your building. We've already done it. We paid the bill and here you go. You need to pay us back. And you know, I would just say I'm 100% agree with it. one time, one off and y'all do a lot for us, you know, and you know that needs to be weighed in as well and we do appreciate that. We want to be good partners and I apologize for doing it inappropriately in the wrong steps. You didn't that wasn't uh wasn't intentional. It was not. Yeah. Well, you didn't know it would be considered of an improvement

right there. That explains why you had to come. And the other thing for me that made doing it a little more urgent when we did it is that it would have been I think it's like 300 more had we waited to bring it to court because the price went up like February 1 or two. So it made sense to go ahead and do it instead of paying more money. Well, you all put a lot of time, energy, and expense into the improvements at that building. We can't take any chance that something would happen to that. So

they build in they build in in cases and holds so much rich history to this county that that if anything bad was to happen, it would be a total loss to the entire county. Yes. It's not just the county, it's regional. Regional. Exactly. From the Green River all the way to Mississippi, we have records. Written records. Written records. Denise, you mentioned the contacts. Yes. or not. Is that information or somebody within the county? It is part of those contexts as well.

Yes, Judge Baker said that he would be on um I am um Adam Scales is the chairman of our board. He is um Peggy Vic said that she would be because Adam and Peggy are right here in town. I'm a 20minut drive from where I live. I know Judge Baker's out in the county, but you know that's if I get a notification that there's fire or smoke, I'm calling 911 and I'm driving to town and if I can call 911 and get Russell City up here to Ellie's meat, Adam or Peggy, we're ahead of the game. Yeah. Ginger, do do you guys have the capability of receiving texts on to the Not yet. Okay.

I mean, I received texts. I didn't know if maybe they would. They're coming into we have up to eight. They text. It's a text message. We can absolutely put you there. Okay. I'll be able to in you taken care. Hopefully, if they ever come to that, we would know cuz we're so close. Well, this is internally is going to detect it before it's ever noticed. and and we've got blackout purchase now, so it's going to take a hot minute before somebody really notices fire in the building.

So, does this service that y'all purchase does it have capability of having a a smoke detector that when it detects smoke to contact 911 or does it? I don't know. I'll find out. I mean, I would think, you know, if I were bidding it for my own for or somewhere else in the county, we would have, you know, we'd be bidding it for to have like a cuz I would get a lot of companies that call in fireworks, different things. Yeah. I mean like a monitoring service that automatically calls 911 instead of texting all these random people. You know that hopefully that would work but see if they've got you know it would come with a service fee I'm sure yearly or monthly. But none of this

No, I'm talking about if they did have a monitoring service. I would imagine there's a monitoring piece to it. I guess uh you have the information in front of you and it's a favor of the court. I make a motion to uh pay for pay for the reimbursement of these devices and for the funds to be taken from the proper maintenance line item from the archives building. A second. Okay. Is there any more discussion? What was that total again? 36. What? $3,74. Thanks to you. I have that.

I have a motion to second with no discussion. Roll call, please. Dor, yes. Good. Yes. Low cut. Yes. Harper, yes. Crawford, yes. Balden, yes. Baker, yes. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Next up, uh supervisor Pwood, do you have anything for us? Okay, thank you. Thank you guys for all your work out there. Next up, uh emergency management, Terry Cole's here. Terry, you have anything for us, sir? All right. Are you sure?

Animal shelter. more s. All right. So, we'll just do an update for the food pantry that we started. Uh just go over a couple things. In just 9 days, we g out nearly uh food to nearly 100 households. We fed nearly $250. Uh so, that's a pretty good number for us. Uh not sure how the mis messaging has gotten out there, but we just want to make sure that everybody understands that this is for people that are in need, not for those that are in want.

So, um we do require residencies, people to show their ID or a piece of mail. Uh that's what we're doing right now. Uh but we did decide not to go in the route of making like any sort of income verification or make sure that there's assistance that they're getting. Uh the whole point is there is unexpected loss of income either by a job or the weather, people couldn't get to work. So we decided we didn't want to put that on anything yet. Um but we do have things in place. We do have a a a checking system that we use through our through um Excel that we get everybody's name and number and if they try to misuse it, it pops up. So that's why we use you have to give an ID. Uh with that, the person has to be present to get the food. You can't just come with four or five IDs and say here I'm picking up food for all these people. So we do say you have to be present to get

Has that happened? We had it happen a couple times here where people come get IDs or saying can I get this food from so and so. Um but we ask that that you be present to get the food. Um and just so what we did is uh how we're doing this everybody so we're transparent. We went on an average of a 50 lb dog eats between 20 to 30 lb of food a month. So, we are going to a max of 30 lbs per dog. And that's 100 lb um per household. So, if you have 10 dogs, we're not just going to give you x amount of food. You get up to 100 lb per household. Um it's a maximum of one visit per month. Like I said, we do have the checks and balances so people can abuse it. Um we're also asking getting other gathering other informations. We're asking three things. one if your uh dogs have been had their rabies vaccinations, if they've had their parable vaccinations, and if they're fixed. Uh so what's kind of crazy is that what we've shown is 30% of the people that have shown up are unsure about their dog vaccinations and over 40% have not had their dogs spared neutered. So that's kind of a crazy number for us. Um and the reason we're taking these numbers is we're trying to work out future programs and seeing where the need is. So, uh, that's why we're asking these other questions and, uh, we're hoping to be working with Butler County shortly and then coming to you guys about offering stay and neuter program for the public. Uh, but then we'll have to get a fee schedule and all that fun stuff set up, but we're working out details with Butler County to to get that set up. So,

only 40% new.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. 40%. Yeah. So, it's it's a pretty crazy number, but uh the pantry's been good. It's been good. And we've had some really good people come to us and, you know, say what a blessing it is and how, you know, they weren't eating so they could feed their dogs, you know, some people. So, it it's, you know, or they were just throwing their dogs scraps. So, now they get to feed their dogs um some good food, especially a lot of it's the economic brand, which Champion Pet Food is a high quality food. So anyways, that's where we're at. And I just wanted to make sure we got the record straight where what we're offering, what they can come and get. So

100 lb a month. Yeah. Up to it's 30 lb up to 30 lb per dog. And then up to 100 lb total. So if you have multiple dogs, you can get up to 100 lb. You know, we do ask if it's a smaller dog or a larger dog, you know, cuz if it's a smaller dog, I'm not just going to give you a ton of food, right? So we have different size bags that we give out

which so it's up to 30 lb. Have you actually anybody like the the the food local food pantry that already has that? Those people actually talk to the Society as I you know they're other ones that that have an act that have stated they have a pantry open and I just wanted to make sure that you know we're not stepping on anybody's toes. We're not doing anything else. What we're also doing as well is we have a limited number of cat food, but we're keeping the cat food to people who have dogs as well, right? So, if you have dogs and cats, then we'll help you out with some cat food. If you only have cats, Humane Society, Southern Paws, there's other rescues in town that do that will offer just for cats. But I don't want to make I don't want to be, you know, we're here to help the community. So I don't want to be like here you get dog food here then have to drive all the way over there to get that. So if you have dogs at your house and you do have cats we'll give you some cat food as well. Um so you don't have to drive all over town to pick that up.

I was talking about like the on four street you know they got they they help people with food like they they already do the verifications of income that sort of thing I think a lot. So you could talk to them maybe that you know they're feeding themselves. They might need have animals too. Maybe they can, right? Yeah. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Yeah. I mean, yeah. We'll definitely talk to them and just see if we can work out something where if they, you know, either send them over to us or vice versa. Yeah. That just be a smart followup. That's a good idea. Yeah. Yeah. We'll definitely do that. All right. Well, thank you for being really good with your recordeping. Oh, yeah. That's huge. Yeah, definitely.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. EMS, do you have anything for us? All right. Thank you. All right. Proceeding on to our next sermon. Uh, solid waste making. Good morning. Good morning, Nathan.

So, on your tablets, there are four recyclers that were inspected in this last twoe period. Uh, and present those for approval. Uh Harrison and Harris in Bucksville, Huff Auto in Auburn, Rando Randles Auto Salvage in Auburn, and also the Glisting Auto, the current site is on Homer Road. And so I inspected that. It is indeed it needs needs some more room. But this is for the current site. The proposed site as we talked about would be coming up next court meeting Olivia that's has worked on that for next court meeting, but that is just for So this is for the home road site.

Roll call. Davenport. Yes. Goodwin. Yes. Wilk. Yes. Harper. Yes. Crawford. Yes. Balden. Yes. Baker.

Yes. Just a couple of the comments. Um well actually a couple three of the comments I've spoken with Judge Baker. Usually we discuss about a tire event in the spring. Uh right now I'm low on money. I'm just going to be honest. The grant that we had because of some dumps were cleaned up and the busyiness of the fall event that we had. I'm a little low. So Judge Baker and I did talk about it and we said we'll wait till July until there's some fresh money. But as soon as I get some fresh money, I'm retired in July. So, okay. So, I can do it right and uh not have to dip into funds I don't have. And remind me again, tractor tires for another 2 or 3 years or something.

Next year. So, 2024 was the last one. So, be 2027 for the next one every 3 years. I get that question. Yeah. Yeah. I understand a lot of folks want to know next year at that time or year approximate. So it usually ends up they they schedule us in the spring. So it's usually somewhere around that April time frame. Yeah. So one year we did in July. We had to do in July. So that was not but was in spring. So but okay.

I do have and just reminder we do have the May 8th schedule date for the East Rout if y'all have had questions. reminder on that for everybody that might not know. Uh I do have plenty of hand sanitizers as giveaways. I didn't get to everybody here, but if anybody needs some, please let me know. Uh I know this comes up later in the agenda, but I do want to thank Scott for working on the Baylor bids. Uh we got a bunch of got to thank for that for keeping track of them. Appreciate their work on that. Just a reminder that this is contingent on the recycle brand. This bid is for the recycling brand and we need that before we can purchase it. Absolutely.

When do you expect the recycling? So the bid the rain is due April 1st and uh it would be probably somewhere in the June time frame before they let us know if we want it or not. So it be a little bit of time but but as you can see we have enthusiasm with this. So we're hoping the company will definitely work with us on this is big purchase. It is. I want to thank you for the work that you've done down in the Darable way. Thank you. All those places the cleanups. Yeah, I've heard a lot of good things. Mhm. Very much. All right, Nathan. Thank you, sir. Thank you.

Have you heard any update from the architect on the jail roof?

They came last Tuesday and measured for the jail roof and did all the work that they needed, preliminary work to put all of the bid packages together and the specs. So, we are finally moving forward with that. Okay. I think the uh plan is supposed to come back from the architect next month. Hopefully. Yeah. Hopefully. Yeah. So, it'll all be done in one big package, correct? It will be presenting just a master plan for y'all's approval. Yes, absolutely. Yeah, the park. I'm sorry. Did I say something else? No, no, I just make sure that park. Yes, sorry. On the park. Plan, right?

Uh hopefully they'll have the final tweaks made to it based on, you know, the input from the public come about then.

One of one of the meetings in March we're open. Yeah, we're hoping to uh with that moving forward, since we have no other reports of citizens participation, if anyone in the audience would like to address the court, now is your time. Of the hundreds of thousands in attendance today. Oh, I see one in the back. Go forward, sir. It's great to see everybody this morning. Um, great to be back in Logan County. My name is Justin Poland. I'm originally from Baron County and went to school uh as a WKU Hill Topper. I'm here today on behalf of Congressman Bar's campaign for US Senate. I wanted to make sure that I stopped in and you guys were aware that I'm a resource for you. Any issues that come up, anything you may need, uh please use me as a resource. Uh we care about Russellville, we care about Logan County, and uh we want to help move communities forward across the Commonwealth. So, um, I'm happy to be a partner with you and helping you, um, lift your community and and work with you any way I can. And I appreciate you letting me be here today and and say something briefly. Um, but yeah, I'm I'm happy to be a partner and help you any way I can. Thank you so much.

Thank you. Did you say you were from here? I'm from Baron County. Baron County. Yeah. I grew up and, you know, south Kentucky. Yeah. Just on the other side of Bowling Green. Thank you. Thank you, Jess. Is there anyone else? Got one more coming. While he's making his way up here, Eric has sent me a message. The food pantry for the uh dogs are open Monday through Saturday, 11 to 3 at the animal shelter.

Good morning, sir. Y'all seen me a few times. I just want to make sure everything's good to work on uh want to check road this spring. It was supposed to be this fall, but it got moved this spring. We didn't get to it. So, I do want to thank the road department for what they've done during ice and everything. Trying to do the best they could, right? Uh I understand they had a lot of problem with our equipment stuff. So I think they need or county need to take care of their equipment. You know what I mean?

Well, let me let me go ahead and and knock that. The faults we have were because of the the use. You know, you're beating against the road and it's causing a plow blade to break a weld or something like that. It's uh sensors going out in tractors. It's just common little stuff. Now, as far as maintenance on these vehicles, trust me, they're they're they're up and ready to go. There's there's not wore out equipment out there beat up like like that. If it's wore out, we need to change it. You know, agree if it is. Agree. But one thing I can say, when Scotty's come through with that big grater there, they've done 100% better what one of our county trucks does. So, we might need to look at get one of those grers. We got we've got we've got a grater. We got a road grater. And And you know, with the ice, the ice that we had, nothing was moving that ice. Uh the truck the plows on the trucks were just not made for ice like that. Even the states big plows on their big trucks weren't doing it. Uh we we went over these roads multiple times with raers and made nothing until that last few days where the temperature finally came up. That's when we could finally move stuff. And I do want to thank Paul for what they did agree on. I don't know who it was, but he took care of that hill right there. And we would have ended up going over that one. farmers if there's any way that you that they be reimbursed for some of their time and gas and stuff it all be done. Well, we're we're working on some stuff for that at this point. Uh maybe uh we're waiting to see what fe what kind of if the declaration is it is then we can put in for that money and part of that is to reimburse the farmers for what we can with what we can. We've uh we've already kind of been working on that, but we are waiting on the state at this point. Federal and state.

I do want to thank what what has been done. Can you give me your name? Daryl. Daryl. Daryl. Allan. Allan. Okay. It's important for the community to do what you're doing because it helps us. You know, we hear that extra voice. Thank you, Darl. Thank you, Mr. Allen. Is there anyone else? If not, we're going to move forward. U we don't have we have nothing for old business, so we're going to move on to new business. Uh first item is discuss edge encounter and concert car contributions for the Logan County Chamber of Commerce for fiscal year 2526.

Good morning.

Hopefully we'll start with the edge encounter. Hopefully you all have um information in front of you uh regarding the Edge um encounter event coming up in March. I will um briefly kind of go through what Edge is, what that program is. Um a little bit over a year ago, uh Brooke and I met with um Jason Petri uh talking about uh some workforce development initiatives. through those conversations and then meeting with um William County High School and Russville High School. Um we developed a 5-year workforce development program. Um this program was kicked off last fall. Uh and this when I say 5 years, it starts with eighth graders and goes through seniors. Um each year of this program we create initiatives for students um and the goal is to get them um immersed in the workforce in Logan County so that when they do graduate they are aware of opportunities that they have right here at home. Um so part of that initiative is the eighth grade edge encounter. Um so this is a one-day event. It's a hands-on career fair for area 8th graders. We are um inviting well in attendance will be Logan County schools, Russville schools and now Todd County schools as well. Um and today we are here to ask if the court would like to sponsor this event. Um and you should have sponsorship information as well.

Did it say on here where it was going to be your edge encounter on the 18th? It is at the Logan County Extension Office. We will be utilizing the entire campus. Um there will be six different pathways featured and currently we have about 60 businesses that will be in attendance that doing hands-on um demonstrations of their of their work. Okay. That's a good thing. And we would invite um the court to any of you all who are interested to come see the event. Um it obviously is geared towards the students, but we want the public to know, you know, what we're doing as well, especially um those of you who would be interested um in seeing what we're doing.

And it's eighth grade mainly for this one. Only eighth graders for this one. Um for 9th, 10th, 11th, 12th, there's something that we have for every year. Uh 9th graders uh have participated in real world Wednesdays where employers have gone to the school to talk to these students face to face, face to face. 10th graders um are going out into the workplace and and visiting different businesses that they may be interested in. Uh 11th graders are doing job shadowing, so a little bit more extended stay um with those businesses. And then the goal is that every senior has work experience when they graduate. So whether that be um real world work experience or um co-op students, that kind of thing, that that's our ultimate goal.

That's a good goal. Okay. Uh March, did it say the time? I don't think it has the time. It will be from 8:00 a.m. till 2:00 p.m. will be the event date. We have different um sessions. It'll be an early session and a later session just to make sure we get all students uh through. We're expecting a little bit under 500 students that day. And that includes Logan, Russellville, and Todd. Yes, ma'am. That's a good program. Good for you. Whose idea was this? Uh it was a joint effort between the chamber and le Yes.

Well, you need to get the recognition. It's really good. Really good. I'll tell you, you know, I mean, of course, everybody knows I'm in the roofing business, so I have to be real careful how and we engage younger folks in the roofing business, but we try we we 11th graders uh to uh, you know, do a ride along and few things that they can do, but I know we go to a Darville school a couple of times and just that hands-on experience really excites the kids and you just never know where you park the entrance of of a young one who just didn't know, you know, and I'll just pick on roofing. You know, I didn't think I'd care anything about roofing. It just seems like a crazy job. I don't do that or it whatever your

No, I'm glad we do it now. We do that at a Darville school now, too. You know, usually about twice a year, we'll go to my wife's principal there to know. And so, she asked for us to do that. So, I, you know, I just think it's a really good program. Anytime you can engage the young folks and show them what's you'd been surprised that young folks really don't even know what their parents or grandparents do for a living. You know, they don't know. You know, they're like, "Well, I know they work at Logan Alumin, but what do they do there? It's not really sure. Something to do with aluminum, hence the name." But, you know, it's just a real good program to get get the kids to interact. And so the the whole program, the eighth grade program and then you know on through the senior year. So I would be in favor of uh you know partnering with and we should be a a partner cuz this is where the money really goes to work and it helps with

getting kids ready for employment. That's right. I think a lot of kids come out of high school do that you know. So,

if I may add just one thing because I think it's very important for you all to know that our eighth graders here in Logan County already attend an event that's very similar to this, but it's in Warren County and they invite Warren County invites um businesses here in Russellville in Logen County to attend that and we have one that shows up every year, one business. And so that is one thing that Paulie and I saw was the was the problem because we don't want all of our eighth graders to go and work in Warner County when there are opportunities just like that here. And so that was one of our main drivers was if we can't engage the businesses to get them to go Bowling Green and participate in that event, let's engage them and get them to participate in our event. And so that was one of the biggest drivers for this for us because it's very important to show people what is right here, what's available right here. And it's pretty much anything. Any anything that you can imagine you really can do here in the world, but we're not exposed to that as eighth graders, ninth graders, 10th graders. And so that was our main goal was to expose them to what's right here. That was very important to

Oh, it's huge. Huge because they really don't have to do that two year, four-ear college thing. A lot of employment is scheduled through working with those companies. Forming those relationships with those business owners and those partners from an early age is very important. We think that's important to get in the door. Huge. I'm totally totally in favor of this. Judge, you have a recommendation on where we can. Yeah, I was just looking at two or three things. Um um maintenance ability.

I am thinking I mean there's three three or four different levels there. Um you know I guess that would be what's the favor of the court on the sponsorship level would be from there. I was I was referring to like where the money would come from. Yeah. That's why I was asking where in there what number you guys were thinking. Well, I'd be in favor of the $1,000. Mhm. At least as a beginning and we'll see how it goes. The other one sold out. What was that, Jamie? The first one sold out. Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't get to that yet. Okay. I see they don't want any more money. Wow. The high. That's so funny. The expensive one sold out. That's so funny. Okay,

I'll make a motion to do a $1,000 sponsorship to the edge encounter. I totally appreciate you. That's really a good one. Just need to remember to make that part of our budget. Uh put on you know and look at the other program and just do one encapsulating thing, you know, because this is an ongoing thing. So we'll be making this sponsorship to the chamber. Correct. You have any recommendations of where to pull that from? Linda

Jason might as well short last I'll just have to look at make any necessary budget transfers it fair enough I have a motion and a second is there any more discussion on this if not roll call yes goodwin Yes, Wilco. Yes, Harper. Yes, Crawford. Yes, Balden. Yes, Baker. Yes. All right. Thank you.

Y'all got the next concert on this one.

Um, next in your packet, you will see a letter from the L County Chamber of Commerce regarding our concerts at Carico. As the court is aware, um the concerts at Careco are free concert series that uh we host each year um through May through August. And we last year transitioned those from the first Saturday of the month to the last Friday of the month. And that uh transition was a huge uh success. I think uh people we found were sticking around in town, maybe going and having dinner after work and then coming to the concerts. um and not necessarily impeding on uh weekend plans out of town. So um we are continuing to keep that schedule this year being on Friday nights. Um and we do think that these are still a very good indicator of community uh you know things that are going on in in in Logan County. So, um, each year the the court has sponsored these concerts and we would not be able to host these concerts without the support of, uh, the court and we would greatly appreciate the consideration um, to host these again this year in 2026.

All right. Yes. So, this is a budgeted item and we've been budgeting for a while. So, I'll make a motion. We You need to budget. Funds are there in the budget. Funds are there. Go ahead and pay it out at this time. Correct. It's 25,000. As soon as we receive, we'll start booking. Make a motion to go ahead and pay it. I make a motion to go ahead and pay that to the Logan Chamber for the uh concert care code 25,000. Second. If local vicinities uh in the county like individual cities want their own concert series, I guess they'll have to they wouldn't come through you. They have to come to us. Yes, ma'am. Correct. Yes, ma'am.

Okay. Because there is some interest in that. Correct. You have a letter from Auburn. I She was wanting to come speak, but she didn't reach out till yesterday afternoon. So, I pushed her off till Yes, she had an appointment in Lexington. Um, I have a motion in a second. Is there any other discussion? Rooff. Davenport. Yes. Good. Yes. Yes. Harvard. Yes. Crawford. Yes. Yes. Baker. Yes. With that being said, I know I've seen

I've seen both of you at those concerts. If you haven't been, I would suggest making it's it's really good stuff. It It's really good uh entertainment that doesn't really cost you anything to do. You just show up. It's a good evening. Thank you.

Appreciate y'all. Thank you. Moving on to item number two, open bids for used lightning bor for recycle center. Nathan, do you have anything to say while I'm opening these these? We received 10 bits, so we're going to be here for a minute. I'm going to be the half time entertainment. Um, if y'all have questions on that, please let us know. We did some companies I know put in full bids also for new and we said gently something that wasn't you know just really used cuz we have now something they have used with the warranty and uh so multiple bids per bid and uh from technology international total 140,500 Is there any stipulation as far as these kids remain good or technology.

I didn't catch the name of it. That's what J. or used. Was that new or used? I don't even know that in here. Did you um click on the second new

this is our specification. This is our B request. And this is I'm assuming it's a new one. Doesn't say use. What you got? Their their order is 52 weeks out. So that is something that we had. The current bail we have is called a max pack and they told us it was almost a year lead time on what this one is a max I know OBC industrial

OBC they they they give us three different options. Um I mean it needs to be needs to be looked at to see what the differences is. We're not going to make it. No, no, but one option is 125,700, one's 99, 950, and others 123,38 depending on what they include. Remember though, this is all intentional on us receiving that.

So, two of those are two of those are new and one is used. The used 99,50 and the the two new ones with the 125,000 car. So just I just think voice out loud the company price right yeah so just as a little piece of information this grant is a 25 I didn't mean to stop you I'm sorry yeah it's a 25% match and so we usually do this with in kind that is the numbers you're giving are round the inind match I can get. So I think we should if they give us the money from this from the state grant, we should be able to get this cost to the county.

HMS recycling equipment a new 111,500. That's significantly less than the other. Yeah, that work on there. Um, MH Equipment. They sold us the last.

Okay. It's $132,84524. Nothing right off says if it's or not, but we need you to go. Will you judge like you know give us detail the difference equipment corporation new bailing system $122,000 um subject to subtract $2,200 if we they can use our heavy duty forklifts. We don't have select the first option. Did you say um this one is the one that provided the last one? That's what I equipment LLC a new excel bellor um it is23 $280 10 does this go Yeah, that's

a bunch of it out there and there's several people from Canada that were calling me. So they apparently got some good places for it to be found. American Fiber Services LLC $127,576

that company actually Here's a research too. Yeah, Apex had option two. All right. You want to read that on? Yeah.

Well, that sounds good. Apex is option two with a rebuilt XL EX63 B $69,000 and then option one with a new XL EX63 BO for $113,000 and then with all these B there's been some freight delivery and installation cost like a spreadsheet I'm going to go and check every single page obviously BE Equipment Inc. gave us three options. Um, you delivered and install $139,872. Option two is a reconditioned uh for 86,500 for a recondition. And then option three is another re recondition option of another one of $96,875 from be equipment. They all have Did you notice they told me I haven't seen as long as possible here? Yeah, probably would be like a lot better for that, but it would be possibly some more calls.

It's just brand new is a little bit more expensive but just so happen because you get quicker be more cost you just by chance but yeah um yeah the chance it wouldn't necessarily be because of that just because that company just has less time. Oh okay.

Okay. from Reaction Distributing Inc. Uh the new Triac $9,594 that comes in a crowd. I know this is kind of like watching paint dry sometimes. said I've had to sit through all these

do we want to include the installation in our bid acceptance. Yeah, we don't have any ability but that mean we'd have to hire it would be a massive bolted to the floor. So yeah, it's it's a big deal, a big process.

Uh from uh Municipal Equipment, Inc. of a new marathon. Total cost $180,000265 and 1880,265 18hour lead It is no way we can make a decision today. But then again, we don't need to make a decision to we got the grant anyway is what we actually that's how we do that. We go through our process and select the bid that we want, you know, if we can get one in a good range. It sounds like we're getting some that are in a good range. Uh, and then we just select the best bid and above that in the application. That's the money we ask for.

I make a motion to table acceptance of this bid. Allow the judge and Nathan to go through and and compare. Second. I have a motion and a second to table. Um, if no further discussion, roll, yes. Goodwin, yes. Wil, yes. Harper, yes. Crawford, yes. Holden, this is for table, correct? Yes.

Yes. As you can see, this will take some work. And also, I have to make sure that what that name did is falls in all these specifications that we put out. Absolutely. You guys just make sure that Olivia gets all those back. That'll be fine. Let's move on to item number three. Item number three, approved authorized Log County Genological Society to make changes to the entrance of Log County Archives building entrance to make it a handicap accessible. So, this was actually supposed to be the resolution that I asked for. Yeah. I love the way that it was working. I really loved it. It was wonderful. You had two options, did you?

Well, those we haven't yet. Um, and actually what I'm thinking is does the judgment committee need to weigh in? Do we need to weigh in on that? What option or what on the archive improvement? Whatever whatever you're going to propose, you need to Well, yeah, absolutely. And the court needs to approve that. Yes. But I didn't know if the building committee specifically needed to weigh in on which one the options option A option B one had to be a chair access

those were just ideas we can meet with her then we can make the recommendation to the rest the resolution the resolution to that society to grants because as a nonprofit it might be easier and that's what we're voting on today. Not and Joe asked for it to be held to this court so that he could I wanted to look at the lease but then we found we actually already have a lease so that should suffice. So the resolution was fine last time. So I think we can go ahead. And just to remind the public the reason it was so important is because the uh leaking was not going to be fixable without it. Wasn't that it

that but also because we have a local resident who is in in a wheelchair who wants to come see us and she cannot get in the building. No, that's right there with the two that more important than the door, but the door is an issue. Yeah. I mean, you pointed out how nothing you've done is keeping you around. I'm sure there's other residents that Well, I know this one wheelchair. Yeah, that would be a that would be able to come if we do that. And it's not just one in the wheelchair. We do have regular um researchers and many of our volunteers are older and just the front door the way it's configurated now even though it's just two steps. The door knobs over here but the railing's over here that I some of them have almost tumbled up the door and it concerns me.

Well, I think it even improves the building look. It looks really nice. Yeah. Two colors in one snow. Right. Accessibility and door leak. Exactly. Current. I make a motion to approve the resolution that was presented at the last court meeting to authorize the genealological society to apply for grant funds for building. Oh, second. Perfect. Do I have a second? Good job. Was that a second? Yes. Okay, got it. Sorry. Uh, with no discussion. I thought we last meeting. Yes. Good. Yes. Will Harper? Yes, Crawford. Yes, Balden. Yes,

Baker. Yes. Item number four, approve the government utilities technology service or guts agreement for the Lone County Clerk's Office for one-year term beginning April 1st, 2026. And I did notice they did move in the arbitration, we can do that here in Kentucky. It's been an issue in the past, but they finally fixed it for us. Move to approve. Second. Motion second. No discussion. Roll call. Davenport. Yes. Good. Yes. Cut. Yes. Harper. Yes. Crawford. Yes. Yes. I'm sorry.

Yes.

Thank you. Thank you. Item number five, approve the lease agreement and schedule as for 11 vehicles with Thunderberg Advantage Leasing for the sheriff's department lease vehicle program, vehicle lease program, excuse me. Sheriff, I'm not sure why it's on the agenda. So, I thought we'd already done that. I didn't know if there was only surplus the vehicles about changing my mind just Oh, maybe I should wait till you vote, but I'll say real quick. Uh, we've got them all in one. It's scheduled this week, potentially the first of next week. Uh, so they're all out. So, quick recap is so the 10 we at least at least 11. One was for me and 10 was for the road. So, the 10 um go to the road and those 10 go to the school resource officers. So what we'll be surplusing after this will be those vehicles that are extremely high in miles um you know mechanical constant issue. So we're getting rid of those and it will immensely upgrade the fleet uh to a much newer safer professional fleet. Um so with that being said again the lease is what it is. The schedule payments are set in stone. there's no hidden fees or nothing that's going to pop up later. So

that is the one of the advantages to the lease was that I know what the budget will be for the next 5 years or so nothing's changed since we both s

he just came to smile about it again. Well, it's very exciting, very, you know, I mean, I feel like it's it was a very uh great feat to have very I'm very proud of. I hope the court is proud of as well. I understand Thomas's perspective of it and I respect that very very well. So these 10 went to the 10 new with the exchange of you know with some new hires they got you know they got what was left out of the road. So, you know, so the the philosophy is this. The the SRO's cars are going to they have the miles now, you know, but you're talking less than 100,000 miles on the SRO have.

So, they're not racking up miles daily like the road units are. They're going to rack up more than miles. So, those cars that the SRO's have are going to last me easily five plus years. So we have 18 county owned vehicles that we own as a county and we have 11 lease vehicles. So that's you know raw up the bottom of the fleet up somewhat. So again with all the cars that I have that are county owned you know there is you know I have a about six that I'll be looking at that will probably need to be replaced in 5 years. The cars that SRO's have now, they you had them forever 10 plus years. They were they were 200,000 cars and this uh drastically lowered our mileage and increased our age on our car or lower.

Yeah. Lowered the age drastically and and again we couldn't have done that without the lease. And I know there there pros and cons. I I have become really educated on lease program. And I I I've mathematically I mean I've already started looking at 5 years down the road of cost versus lease versus buyout and I've uh even done a 3% increase in cost of vehicles that was we do see pretty much every year and I've even considered that as a in five years. So, um, I get, you know, the dollars count and we need to be accountable for what we're doing and I the capital up front was our biggest hurdle of updating our fleet. And so, the lease program helped us do that for right, you know, at this point. So, again, there what you see on a payment scale is what you'll see in the next 5 years.

And we voted before, why are we voting on it? I was I saw the agenda and it was on there. So we're just checking to make sure I think it's just approval for me to sign the we're getting all the vehicles like see the vot we agree forward but I think this is just an agreement more or less just a motion. We got a motion and a second. Is there any more discussion? Not roll call Golf Davenport. Yes. Goodwin. Yes. Will cut? Yes. Harbor? Yes. Crawford? Yes.

Balden? No. Baker? Yes. Item number six, approve the surplus and trading in 12 various vehicles from L Sheriff's Department to Sternberg Advantage leasing terms of the lease agreement and schedule as for the sheriff's department vehicle lease program and authorize the deletion of these vehicles at the time of trade in. Motion second. Got a motion. All right. With no discussion, roll. Yes. Goodman. Yes. Okay. Yes. Harvard. Yes. Crawford. Yes. Who will that surplus be? No. Baker.

Yes. So they they picked up I think about half of them. So what they were doing is we would uh and I will say that there was some equipment in those vehicles that we that I took out like cars and things that we may reuse in the other 18 that we own. Uh, so they just do a basic car off our hands. So, uh, they picked up half of those and there's they will they're going to come and pick up the other half. Okay. The next week. Okay. Thank you. We have five more items, but I've been asked to take a break. So, let's return here at 10:35.

All right, thank you for your patience. We're going to move on with new business. Item number seven, approve the advertise for bids for the relocation and upgrade for radio tower equipment on Reservoir Hill. This is uh we you have that on your drive. Basically, what we want to do is go ahead and put out for bids to to move all that equipment over to the new tower, which is going to should give us way better coverage than what we currently have. I think this is a huge step forward. Sure. I put in a motion to advertise.

Second. The only thing I would recommend that we that I don't see on the bid that we should include, it says in calibration with Logan County IT director, I think I should say, and our our radio maintenance committee. Um, no, our who we have is our radio maintenance person to up there. Where is it at? Uh, it's in there. I saw it. I know it is cuz I read it. I wrote it.

Yeah. Derek is overseer. The part eight, the one you're referring to is just that specific part of it. Um I know it was in there. I don't see it. Coordinate with Logan County officials. I mean, it don't specifically say nothing about there. Well, I will I will I I'll add that to my motion. I I'll finish that. He's going to he's going to change his motion. just include that include adding that position or person that this year radio maintenance contractor.

Yeah, you know, I wrote this a second time and I think I got left out on the second. It was in there the first one. All right, I I will I will fix that. But is just uh yeah, it's something that we've got to do, we need to do to change our radios and hopefully this will only increase our coverage in the county. We're moving from point A to point B. It's about about what 100 foot is that the tower distance from each other. Yeah, we're moving. Yeah, we're going vertically. Yes. How much roughly?

So, it's just a vertical change. It's not a Everything that's on the tower now is aged since it was put in. So you got new hardline antennas and stuff our equipment from one tower to another tower beside of 100. It's it's nothing that's in the building is moving to another building, but we're putting new stuff on the tower. We we bought we bought the tower from EPB if you remember a little bit ago. Yeah. So,

okay. Yeah, it's about 100 foot away from each other. It's about 100 foot more vertical to hang the new antennas, like I said, new hardware, new lines, new everything. I think we're actually adding several antennas for better coverage better coverage. Yes, at the end of the day, our radio should have way better coverage. Proper insurance, man. I'm not so sure. I don't know the dollar value, but that sounds like that needs to be a bonded event. I mean, it's going to be I mean, is it a $10,000 worth of equipment or a million dollar worth of equipment? I think we're probably looking at less than $150,000 total. Okay.

Second, Jason. But somebody second it already. No, you seconded it, but you changed it. Yeah. And I also second change. I will uh that's right before we put these out. I will send it back out as but it was on it was on the first one. I think when I rewrote it may have got deleted off there but anyway uh I have a motion in a second. If no other discussion broke off yes goodwa yes yes. Crawford yes Baker

yes. Next up, discuss the Tango Tango backup radio system app. Uh we have a representative from Tango Tango and in the crowd we have uh people from uh representatives from all the fire some most of our fire departments in search and rescue. All right. So uh this is back. He's with Tango Tango. So I wanted him to come kind of be able to talk terminology and stuff with what they have to offer. So basically, we do not have a backup system if we have a total failure with our radio system. I think with some things that the judge and and Ginger are working on that may help some of that, but there's still a possibility that we could have a failure. So with Tango Tango, they offer a way that we can uh utilize our phones to dispatch from. So um so that we would have something that would be there if we needed as backup. So, I think if you have any questions or anything on my part of it, I'll try to answer that, but I'll kind of let him explain how Tango Tango works and then uh for some the fire guys are here from Auburn and there's some that are watching from different departments. I've reached out to them. Thanks, she they've been doing it as well. So to kind of demo it, we've been demoing it to see how it works in the field. Uh this would also benefit our school resource officers even though it could be it would be a backup kind of identity as its main purpose. Uh the school resource officers could utilize it inside the schools as well because it works through Wi-Fi. So that gives them a little more uh ability to uh key up the radio or get a hold of somebody uh a little quicker that way if they needed

to get out on the radio fast. So is there anything that you guys might have for me? Who you said you demoed it like you've been demoing has any of these guys?

Yeah, EMS has demoed it. Uh a lot of the Lewisburg has it. A lot of the fire most of the fire chiefs had for their department and EMS has been doing on it with all of their units as well. So EMS and fire have been using Zella as just something they have kind of gotten on their own. But my purpose is is we need something for backup, you know, just that works through dispatch. So it's it's that's where it gets a little confusing to me and I think Beck can explain that part of it as well. Tango Tango goes to our radio system. So I could be in, you know, in Florida and I can talk on the radio if I needed to talk on the radio. If I'm in Bowling Green or EMS is in Nashville or Louisville, you know, they have no radio service once they basically get out of county. and they use they've been utilizing Zello some to talk to each other panes and you know the units back and forth so don't talk to well I just found out they do have that ability somewhat um as well so I kind of wanted to give

it's not as clear it's not as clear and I don't know that much about it these guys do so they might come up and talk about it as well I think it'd be good as a comparison so basically again the focus for me and ECC is we're looking at something that provides a backup to our current radio system. Yeah. I think if anything like attaches to our radio system, it needs to be a county standard and a county something that we're going through the process and approval and all that.

Yes. Yes. That's so there's a lot of there's a lot to it and that's you know they you know come and then the Auburn guys have been using it extensively and EMS has been using it as well. So that's why I made sure they got on the demo part of Tango Tango and then he can explain the technical sides of it. There's there are options. Uh again, my focus is is looking at creating some channels for backup if we have total failure. No, I think you were meaning so that they'd all be on the same program.

Yeah. We don't have Zillow. We don't hang up. So we I would like to see this be it's a county backup system to fire EMS and walk you know and then we can branch it out further if we need to do that but uh you know we basically have about 16 channels in our current system but we don't really need 16 channels I don't think as a backup but uh just the ability you told me that it's the the cost is based on per channel. Yes. Yes. And you got the option of either doing it from your current cell phone or they have a device you can they have a device that they uh Oh, right. Yeah. So,

so on your current cell phone, you just click the app and then you choose the channel if we had multiple channels. Sorry. How much How much is this?

Those are $300 a year. That includes the service person. $300 a year. Not every

I have a question. Um when we had the when the big the big smoldering thing at Simsburg um you don't come back. We had a mulch facility that required water basically and so it was south urban water that was you know providing water and they were I don't even know 13 I think I think 13 or 15 maybe fire department

and so while that was going on don't mean to make light but like it just it it just um took all the water away from Adarville Shaco everywhere. I mean like it was nothing cuz like the the fire hydrants were open and closed. So I talked to East Living Water and I said you know can we and they said yes by all means. So down at the bypass light, um there was a police officer. Don't know if it was city or county, but it was an emergency, so everybody was working together. And I met them and I said, "I'm going to take you to where East Logan Water told me for you all to start getting filling up your trucks." He said, "We do not have communication with the fire and and the police." And and so I was wondering in an case of an emergency like that could you know would something like this be helpful if just I mean I'm just asking because it was it was like they had no idea how to contact anybody of course they would contact us and we would relay through the reason you know is the police department stays on the police channel fire stay on fire channel EMS stays on the EMS channel during that time I think with this or I guess she's asking are we able to patch channels together talk to one another

we have a patch channel or like a mutual aid at that time which we do have a new we have a mutual aid channel now that you know during a massive emergency everybody can switch to but we're always

no so I mean there is a mutual aid channel that um that that can be utilized I'll be honest with you we need to do a countywide check of all portables and mobiles to ensure that everybody has that feature because we've not done that in a while uh since Derek has been our our radio man. Uh we were kind of waiting on that with moving of towers and it's it's a process but I think that we need to move forward and try to do that because we don't know honestly what who has what on their mobile phone. So, but with this one of the features is see Simpson County uses Tango Tango and if other counties are involved right that uses Tango Tango in their county then we can connect

and so there is an option to build a a regional communication which we don't have. So we have countywide ability to communicate with each other. We just probably need to fine-tune it. But what we don't have is we have no communication with other candies. So everybody uses a different radio. How is the case? It's got you know it's got the So can you use it as a No, it's uh we do IoT on this part. So there's no phone number.

Okay. So it's just this size is dead pretty much. But there's I mean the screen that shows up on the screen channel and so our service is all encrypted. that it works over LTE and Wi-Fi. And so the idea is that we can tie to the radio channels, use it dayto-day, uh like the sheriff mentioned, if he's out of town, if something happens, he can respond immediately. Um we can decode to his own paging. So pagers for fire and EMS use uh their cell phones all of a sudden become an actual pager as well as what they're using today. Um we can also do CAD integration computer and dispatch so they get all the the dispatch notes for uh incidents that occur on the app on the device. So it is a multi-purpose tool uh beyond just a redundant system. The redundancy is a big part of that. years ago, a quick story. Years ago, Bedford County, Tennessee was triing our service when an ice storm came through and their radio system went down and they added all the first responders in the county and they dispatched on their system on our system while their radios were down and then went back to normal operations when they came back up. So, uh it's definitely been used in exactly the scenario that Sharon and Ginger have uh have described. So, um,

is the $300 per year per device on that the only Can you just buy the device and then do we have an option to buy it? Because really the it's just paying for the SIM service since the SIM service is included. That's like Yeah. Like 20 per vehicle per person using it? No. So, so the we do unlimited users on the app licenses. So on on your iPhone or your Android device in your pocket, there's no cost associated with that portion of it. There's just a cost per radio channel that we connect with. And then you have 50 people or 500 people.

So the same radio channel would cover the guys in Auburn. We cover the guys in a Darville, cover the guys in all of the various county needs, whether it's fire or law enforcement.

Yeah. So if we had an emergency situation that we lost all of our communications during primary reason, this would be able to communicate with everybody on one channel. There's there's you know and there's options to you know look at that is we can maybe do a three or four channel emergency backup system but if we have you know you look so far ahead that you know what if you have two fire departments operating in different ends of the county while our main system was down for some reason. you know, that creates chaos on just one channel because you're trying to talk to two different people and get locations and and commands, you know, and everybody's going to hear that. So, there's some things to consider. How many channels we should actually incorporate? You know, do we need to fire to log EMS?

And how much is it? Um, what what cost we looking at? Yeah. So, it's dependent on number of radio channels. First radio channel is $3,000 a year. traditional channel is $1,500. So, it's tough. So, how many how many channels do you think we would need? We've been trying to well we've been playing around different numbers and you know and this may not all necessarily need to be done in court but so we've looked at three channels initially but then as we thought ahead was like is that not going to be you know maybe if we have a really bad situation again

two different departments trying to do something or you know fire is the ones that we are considering adding extra channels for because you Six. Is that right? Six fire departments, I think. So, so if you count done, there's six departments. Logan County has five. So, do you want to look, you know, she'll look at having five channels, five channels for each volunteer fire department. That'd be 1,500. Or so like the city of Russville's fire I mean city of Russville's

Yeah we we incorporate them or I mean we they would be part of the backup system because the county runs because we dispatch we dispatch for city fire. So we would be paying $1,500 a year for their channel. That is that is something I guess for more to consider or you know going to the city and asking them to pay the $1,500 for backup. I mean our main thing basically was the number of channels do we need to have as a backup system and then come back to court with a

so the two options are you buy the device $300 years $300 a year per device and and you also have the $3,000 for the first channel 1500 for additional channels. Yes. And the other option is you just have the channel cost and then put on your own personal Yeah. So you add these after the fact that the department wanted to add. So the only thing I don't like about you know asking employees to utilize their personal cell phone. So if we're saying okay part of your job is to use your personal your your personal cell phone. I don't know. But they're doing it anyway. like that. Well, right.

Well, we're doing it. I mean, we all use our person. We shouldn't, but

you know, you you call dispatch from, you know, when you're out in the field, you you call dispatch. Now, the law side of it is we can use our MDTs in the car to talk to this badge. So, that's probably helped reduce that. of sorry say a date on that reason. Uh so again my focus point is creating a backup system. There are some options with this that if if an entity wanted to utilize that I don't necessarily know if the county wants to be responsible for that. Um that would be y'all's look on that. But basically is we don't have a backup system and you know you know we were going to try to figure out the channels. You know do we want three? Do we need five channels? You know unlimited users.

Unlimited users. So how do you keep just a random person from being able to download the app? Well there's an admin portal. Tell them their user info. So we the Derek would and myself would be the admins of the portal but if fire got their own then they would be in charge of fire channel only so they they could create their user list in the portal and multiple people log into the same username and password. It's not a username password it's does two factor authentication. Yeah. Okay.

It's very encrypted. So it's not like it just you can pick it up anywhere you I have federal agencies using us TDA uses us. So um yeah it's two factor authentication. Everybody can have their own admin portal to manage their own people. Uh but we can have uh overarching admins like sheriff or Derek or Jinder to manage uh you know all the admin portals within the county since it would be a county. Well the overarching part is huge.

Yeah. So, I mean, it's a county project and you know, again, there are options for fire departments to to join and be part of it, but they would create their own portal and they would be in charge of their add-on or the leading users to fire them. I think it's a no-brainer and I think you just figure out how many channels you want from Russville, pay for one and then do you guys anybody want to come up and talk about how the difference between the two are tango tango that's the first time Jay ever said that something else about that device I don't think everybody's going to want to That's one thing I was going to say is most of I don't know any of the department has a device everything so we got to buy a device it looks into a computer we have to have a radio there and then it stays on like rules change we go into an admin portal kind of like tango tango I'll add each of the devices in they'll download link download to their cell and that's how they operate The thing about Tango, Tango, and Zello is this is a lot more advanced. It's better as far as encryption wise. Zello is just a free app. Like you download the app and that's it. This is 100 times better.

You think it's safer? Probably too. Keep people out. Keep people out of your Z is not correct. Well, yeah. And Zello um one, you'll never have a Zello employee show up in Logan County. to um Zela doesn't focus on public safety. It's there to sell at Costco and Walmart and those big box stores. You guys can download Zel right now and then we'd be on your feet. You just wouldn't be on the radio, but I would have he would be added. So, I mean there's a layer.

Zel is a do it yourself situation, right? We provide a complete service. We monitor the connectivity of the equipment. So if our equipment gets uh uh loses power for whatever reason, we notify contacts and say, "Hey, your equipment is down. We notice." Um so it is more of a turnkey solution. Uh I I used the analogy earlier with these guys that it's kind of like you can build your own email server for email, right? But everybody pays Google and and Microsoft because it's easier and it's managed and you don't have to worry about it. It's kind of like the difference there. That's the one thing that we have issues with at Auburn Fire with using Zello is it goes down occasionally. If your computer that you have it attached to upgrades Microsoft or something other overnight, it shuts down. It won't reboot. So, someone has to go down and physically reboot it to get it to connect up again. So there's issues in that sense where it's not quite as reliable where if the tango tango monitoring and reboot when it goes down.

Yeah. We we don't use a computer to connect to it. So we go ahead take that out of the equation. Right now we we have to use a computer and radio.

That's what we're doing. We use a portable radio sitting on the charger. which it keeps burning up our batteries over. If you leave the radio turned on on the charger, it needs your battery up. So, we're trying to connect it to a mobile base station and then we've got to connect up the right plumbing and everything. And then it also relies on a computer. If it ever catches or power outage or something, it shuts down and you have to reboot it to get it started back. I'm not trying to badmouth one or the other because I personally we have it in my own car. I myself I never use it. It's it's a radio on my phone but I always got my radio with me. So I use my radio now if you're out of town and you and I'm sure yours does same thing. Tango tango. If I'm in Florida I can we get a call I can see it on my phone and I can listen to what's going on radio traffic on my phone. And that that's the biggest selling point. One, Tango Tango is public safety driven. Uh and it is you know basically from what I can tell is very one of the few services that as a specialty service you know this is what they designed to do. It's based out of Alabama. Zello is based out of China. So, like for an example, you're an administrator of of the accounts for Tango Tango. Jay Woodward needs an account. You put in his name, Jay Woodward,

and I assign the channels and you assign the channels he needs and then put in a cell phone for his two-factor. How does he do that himself? He puts in a cell phone number, he'll send it'll send a text message to him, and then it'll prompt him to download and sign into the app and he'll sign in using his cell phone. And if we had to limit to one sign in for him or can devices so you can say maybe he has a personal work and

it's not a huge thing. My grandma used to listen to everything radio channel. know we're very big on access to what they're supposed to have access to and that's when you talk about Simpson County Sen County everybody focus agency in S County uses our service and they have for years now and so we can create that interoperability and we have the digital tracking of that in our admin portal that says hey I'm going to give like sheriff I'm going to give my channel to these certain people in Simpson County, not the entire, you know, sheriff. It's it's very I would be able to get like Russ their channel. I could have ade whereas right now technically with Zello, I can just go down the station, put my radio on the sheriff's department, and every one of my guys could talk. We don't I have it locked out just for that reason. This takes care of that. I mean I think it's tango tango. I mean I think sounds great.

Yeah. I mean a lot of departments utilize active 911 which it does location tracking. It lets other people know you know who's in route to the station and routine and it does our cab with tango tango. We would be able to get rid of that. how to utilize. That's one program that's going to fix two just on the fire side.

And that's the question we had sitting back there is if we get rid of the active 911 which our new reporting system and we're all going to the ESO. One of the benefits of it is it's autofilling. A lot of our dates and times and stuff for trucks out pager time everything auto fills into our report where before ESO bought out ER mainly enter all those times in on every truck and everything. We had to enter those in the active will auto dump into the new reporting system. If we get rid of the active point, will Tango be able to have that function of autofilling those things?

My my my answer was I haven't asked that before. U I don't see why we can't get back, but it's something.

Sure. Yeah. Yeah. And our our again this is where we're public safety focus. Our guys respond very quickly on fixing things or making feature updates and requests. I had a school district in Texas that I was working with. They wanted something that we do text to speech over the radio channel in Spanish 24 hours my guys have got it done. So we work for things like that and that's an easy thing that we do. 47. This is a super help but location. the fire department. I would love to see channel fire department. That way we're not sharing every

like we used to see. We were talking about that and I was like, you know, we would before be like, okay, you've got to be on channel one, you've got to be on fire two, and every department was on it. And it was it was constantly. And so, you know, if we do the backup for every fire department could be

and fire is the one that needs that mower. Right now, law is on the same channel. Uh, EMS has their own channel. So, you know, we can access it if we want need it, but again, they're separate. So it's not an issue of pain. So honestly, it's just and I I possibly being able to do our connections and radios via the the consoles. Yeah. Pretty sure we got a few more things. We're pretty sure we'll be able to accomplish that which would be a much better connection than using the different

we have back but one of the hugest upsides is going to be able to talk to other we don't have we go we don't have conversation we have to get on other counties county we use Robertson County different things like that you know as far as backups go so we don't have them on our radio channel I think they're on complete they do have one of our

radiober American so we basically have no communication with each other

thing I'd like to do is you know through if you guys are feeling comfortable or any more questions that we can I hate to do this to to beg, but I like to table it and you just sit down with everybody and say, "Okay, this is our channel map out and here's your price." Uh, my question would be is I guess maybe Joe can help as being a specialized communication. Would we need to get a second quote? I don't think you're source. So I mean it's kind of a I think it would probably need to be quoted as in being a professional service.

I don't know that this would qualify same as professional service. I mean it feels like it's a product more than professional service.

I I say I say you're right on as far as I think we're all in support of this 100%. I think what you're going to need to do is just figure out what exactly we need and that's exactly what you just said exactly what we need to get with these guys at the fire to you know show that we're we're want to work we want it we we need the coverage we need originally I was just looking at three or four channels but after I talked to Tyler yesterday and some different ones I think if we're going to do this we need to look at adding I got good stuff. Yes. So, cuz there's been a lot of talking. It's all good good stuff. So, I'm trying to digest everything, but from the last board meeting, my understanding was we're trying to come up with a backup system. So, I just need you to clarify that for me, you know, maybe in an email what we're trying to achieve. Okay.

And before next meeting cuz I don't like sitting here in front of court decision that we're just, you know, I've gone from a free backup system last court meeting to now I'm hearing numbers. No, it was last night. It was send all that information out so we can understand what we're trying to achieve, which is a backup system, right? Yes. And why we need that, you know, what it's going to accomplish, the objective. And here is a solution to that. That's about the only way I know how to look at it.

So, I'll give you an example. I was at the lake the other day with the deputy and he had to call dispatch with his phone because his radio didn't work. So, he could have used his phone. Yeah. Spot everywhere. What is this using? If we're having trouble with our own radio system, what is the technology that it's using?

It's using cell data. So, no problem with the sale phone service down at the lake. That's the first time I've heard that. So, that's good to know. I can sit in my house and there's three places and everybody knows where I live. There's three places in my 33 acres that I can stand and talk on myself. It is it is here. There is times that the deputies can be in the office and dispatch, you know, give RPD a call and there would be one radio that it didn't go through at all. But it went through my mobile and their portables, but there's one radio that didn't go through. So,

so that's what needs to be on. I don't think there's ever a solution of fixing that because you can be well the problem is so we can fix it because when everybody is saying radio and now we're going about cell phones

you know that makes sense to me we're using a totally so your radio power and takes it out this works for that meets the objective and Wi-Fi others are back up plan because it's a totally different access from their cell phone calls and all that cuz as he was saying that that changes from what you said the free

to the cost Zillow is pretty much kind of a free thing I think you buy your original it's free from that point on you don't have a reoccurring every year to buy up front, but it doesn't change this year. You won't buy it up front, but you will have a room for your recommendation.

Your recommendation of who's participating and who's sharing the cost cuz it's not fair for us to say, you know, well, Russellville is going to have it as well, but they're going to have to pay their part. They need to make that decision. For me, I'm not paying Russell Bills or anybody else's part, you know? I mean, we're responsible for our county system just like we do now. And that's no different. You know, radios, equipment needs to be bought. That's where I started like, okay,

next thing you know, we're spending money for somebody else's, you know, it should be in their budget. thing is you need box sh the the thing that I struggled with up until corn and that's why it's kind of went a little longer is adding those extra channels and I knew those questions needed to be answered and I've got most of them kind of answered but yes I'll give you a scope of the proposal. I appreciate it.

Yes. Uh um I need to go back to the talk to Amanda. I need to go back to the concert of Caro and I need to uh amend my motion to also allow any necessary transfer cash transfers to be made to make that payment. Two seconds. Second. Okay. There's no disagreement. We'll carry on. Uh we don't I don't think we have anything. Does anybody have anything for post

agenda? I No, you've made you made a public record. You're changing everybody's agreement. So,

I just wanted to ask this isn't this at any time. I can't find this road anywhere on the county system, but I've been told there's a Bill Pearson court about the 16,000 block of Green Road, which is down there like where Global Transportation Pro Energy Partners like you go straight back. And the guy has told me that it's built in court. I can't find that anywhere. And I didn't know if there's anybody that was familiar with it. I checked with Peewee. He's not showing it. It's not on Google. It's not on my side and he just told me that it's always okay. So it's not

I've never heard of it. Okay. I just kind of something I was missing. So, it's it's out there on of course I know who Bill Gear is maybe that but it's out there near um Greg Gary Trucking had put in for a new address you know and it would run in between 61 or 16 108 road and 15980 B300. It's that little area where they built those shops. I just wonder if anybody could remember if we had some reasoning. I'm not so we had let's do some research and see if All right.

So, uh, Scott, this is really, I guess, for you. I was made aware yesterday that, um, there was just a scheduling problem. Chris made me first aware of it when the, uh, guy from Silicone Ranch was sending out the invites. And Chris noticed I wasn't on the email. And, uh, he he had called me and I said, "Yeah, please send me an email." He called me again a week later and said, you know, hey, you haven't got the email. I haven't got the email. So, he was like, I'll send it again. Long story short, when you go to Logan County Ky.gov, right?

And you go to the magistrates and you go email each of the magistrates. You know their email. When you go to my email and click on it, it goes to Jamie. And so he I get that.

And so I wanted to publicly apologize if anybody's gone to that website and sent me an email and you didn't get a reply from I was when we reortioned the when you click on that I wouldn't pay attention either. But if you look at the address, it says district 2. Even though you clicked on district 6 and you're on district 6 profile, it does that. So I just wanted to apologize. That was the main thing that you didn't get from me. I'm sorry. I didn't get those emails I sent to you. Thank you, sir. Uh, is there anything else for post agenda?

Yes, that' be better. It would be better. If not, I entertain a motion to adjurnn. So move second. There we go.
