process and he vacates that position to move away we need an interim and I would like the board to consider Justin Scott of Parks and Rec he's been here a long time over 20 years has lots of experience all through the ranks I think he would be a good choice just to kind of lead us through the transition and while we go through the hiring process but I will hear thoughts and conversation from the rest of the board.
Excellent. What did you say, Sally? Excellent. I said excellent. Okay.
All right. Well, I will take that in the form of a motion, I presume. Yes. I have a second. Second. Second. I have a motion and a second. All in favor? Aye. Aye. Motion passes.
I think we need to vote on 6A because that's not the issue. 6B was the issue. And I think theirs is coming up. The river cleanup signage?
He contacted Sam right before the meeting and asked us not to. Oh, yeah. I'm sorry.
I just got a text from Nolan and Neil asked that we take a look.
Huh.
Sean, do you have anything else about the rotary cleanup signage?
I think it's not about the event on Saturday. It's just regarding the temporary versus permanent signage on the city parks.
They want to put signs out saying this mile of the river is being sponsored and claimed by this company or this group. And that's kind of, it's not quite gelled as to what today. It's not about Saturday.
Okay, I got you. All right. We'll just bring that back later. Item seven is recognition of employees and partner reports. If anybody has anything for the board, come on up.
So yesterday, the installation process has begun for our direct source capture system. It was the diesel exhaust for all the trucks in the station, both station one and station two. That was federally funded by FEMA, a grant we were awarded. If you want to invite anybody down, if they want to come down and see the process through the installation, it should be done by the end of this week. Or if you'd like to come down after the installation and see how the system works from one location. We'll give you that opportunity. Thank you.
We drove around up today. I'm sure y'all have seen the media. I just want to commend my narcotics officers and my other officers that worked really hard in getting this to happen in the last six months. And we partnered with TBI. So we had TBI, FBI, and, of course, our team and DA's office helped pick some of these people up. I think we picked up a total of 26 so far. There's still some out that haven't been located. But, you know, I'm really proud of the hard work they did.
All right. If there's nothing else for the board, we'll stand adjourned. Thank you all.
