On August 27, at 10 a.m., I will be hosting the official meeting of the Weissel County Board of Commissioners. I will continue to support the establishment of the Constitution. I will stand with the Constitution of the United States of America and the Republic of America, and I will stand with a nation that does not want to be deprived of the freedom and justice of God. Thank you. This brings us to our calendar session. Are there any changes? Public opinion. If you are here to give your opinion, raise your hand. Or if you are online, raise your hand virtually. If no one is watching, let's move forward. No personal updates. No work sessions. No consent agenda.
Of course, I am suggesting that this should be abolished. I would like to say a few things about this. The procedures for this change have not been followed. Then they are going to include other parties. This has to be announced. If you check the documents, it says, We will publish articles in the county's YSET and YCA websites and in the newspapers in the public. Those who continue to be legal will submit an appropriate request. Therefore, I want to make sure that this is being published.
You mean transit, not minutes, right? No, not like that. Okay. I don't know about the newspaper. We will have to ask Cynthia, but that comedy has many twists and turns for a long time.
So, two things.
Brandon is on the board. We must forgive him for stopping him. Brandon has been on the board for a long time. It's not that he chose to be the chair of Egakandam.
Isn't it right? I spoke to Frank Sheridan, who was on the board. He's been there for a long time. He was surprised to find out why he was quitting. He's been in this for a long time. He's representing West Valley. He's been in the committee for a long time. So I had some doubts, but that's okay. There were some things in the emails sent to Cindy. You may have received some of them. It is a little difficult to find the request. They will need to add it to the website, but it is a little difficult to find it. You have to go to the website and check YCTAC, YCTAC. Even though the website is important to the writer, there was an objection to it, so we are trying to implement it. Yes, it is an effort to find it. I am asking you.
But what I meant was, you got an objection from a person named Jessica, right?
Yes, it just came now. After that, we didn't have any meetings. She sent an email this week.
So, if you don't mind, we can move this to another meeting. Is that what you need?
Yes, because I had sent an email to Jessica, who asked for Cindy. She said she wanted to talk to her a little more. So, I think this will be a little early. I want to make sure that we are doing everything as the bi-logs suggest. That is, suggest. Yes, this is not Jessica. This is Brandon.
So, um, I don't have a problem with this. Um, if you don't mind changing it, we can fix it. That's what we need to change. Yes, right. So, I strongly encourage you to remove G1 from the consent agenda and approve it. Ken, do you need a single agreement with everyone? Or do you need different agreements? Depending on the procedures, any commissioner may need to terminate an agreement. So that agreement will be transferred to other businesses. Then you can terminate it. Is there a need to vote for it? No. No. Okay. So? So this is an agreement to remove the G1 agreement and accept the consent agenda. So I am announcing an agreement to remove the G1 agreement and accept the consent agenda. Are there any further discussions? No. No. No. Those who agree, say aye. Aye. Aye. The board passed the first and second aye. Thank you for that. H is an old business. That's not it. Aye is another business. Aye is an application for a board to approve a board decision on the right to submit a board decision on the right to submit a board decision on the right to submit a board decision on the right to submit a board decision on the right to submit a board decision on the right to submit
There is an effort to hear what we are saying because of the noise inside the room. Should we go near the mic? Is that good? Yes. That's good. Okay. Okay. Chair, I can talk about this. And this is mainly about HHS in my knowledge. That is, there are students who come to HHS to complete clinical hours. Sometimes the lens can be attached to those lines. Sometimes it is not possible. So we are trying to make this a completely easy process.
This was an interesting topic. Sometimes she...
Sometimes they are IJs, IGAs. So, according to the registration law, she is not allowed to do so.
That's why this... That's why we are making this a matter of fact. Okay, good. I am encouraging acceptance. Okay, is there any further discussion? No, nothing. None. Those in favor say aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. Aye.

On the day of the puja, we remove the lint from the basket of the items that are not used for the puja. Admission has been announced. Why are we removing them?
Because they are close to the parks, they are items that our park manager needs to take back and inspect again. Understood. Those who agree, say aye. Aye. Admission has been passed unanimously.
Thank you. 3. I-3, Yamil County Transit Authority and Washington County Board Order 25-129, including the U.S. Air Force's number 1. From August 26 to June 30, 2027, the Washington County's STIF plan will be included in this. The approval of I-3 will be announced. The approval has been announced. Is there any further discussion? Nothing. Those who agree, say I. I. I.
Pramayam Agagandam I pass. Thank you. I-4, Arian County's OS 183.39 Poojam Filing is signed and a letter is submitted. The Commissioners Direct brought us the legislation, Harji. Thank you, Chair. Our HHS Director Lindsay Manford is here. Please explain the details to them. This is very important because we have been conducting this discussion since June. We have also conducted discussions with the Arian County. We also talked about this in our local government advisory committee through HHS. The important thing is that the OI is not so comfortable with our concerns about security issues. Therefore, in reality, what they are doing here is asking the OI to provide a public comment period. They are not listening to the opinions of the counties in the legislation process on some of the properties of the park. Therefore, Director Manford can talk about why we are negotiating with the board to send this letter.
Shady, is this on? Yes, thank you. I don't understand because there are no lights. So thank you for bringing this. According to the recommendation of Marion County, we would like to make it clear that it is the main goal to pass through a walkthrough. Therefore, we do not decide on a specific result in this regard. We only want to pass through nature. Yamhill County does not conduct its own residential programs. However, we have residents who work in residential programs in Karar district for providing behavioral health services within that facility. Now, what I am most concerned about is some suggestions that have not been approved in relation to the safety of the residents. We have not had any problems so far, but our programs are very small. To tell the truth, such things are happening in other facilities. It can easily happen in our facilities, says Ashanka. We must have the necessary facilities to say that it is not permissible to carry weapons in residential facilities. When people with mental health problems are in such conditions, it is not permissible to use medicine or sleeping pills, because it will increase the number of problems we face and create more safety threats. There are also some administrative things in it. Since we are unable to run the program directly, we have very few problems. We only do the maintenance and maintenance there. However, when examining the demands of Marion County, I feel that all these are very fair things.
The most important thing is the safety of the people, because only if there is any accident according to the laws of the state, can we take action. Only a living person or a group can take action. But we say, stop for a moment. If we feel this is a threat, we should have the right to say that this is not a right decision. I definitely want to add that the safety of the living and the safety of other residents is important. We have to think about all the people who live in that facility. Even if we want to give the maximum freedom to each person there, we have to ensure the safety of others. Thank you. So, I intend to approve this.
I approve of that.
I agree to that letter and submit it.
I approve of that. Is there any further discussion? Thank you both. Okay. Those who approve, say yes. Yes. The Prime Minister has passed. Thank you. Thank you, Lindsay.
Thank you, Lindsay.
Jay, are there any public hearings? None at all. Chair, before we move forward, there was one thing that was removed from the consent agenda. If there is a need for discussion or discussion, it can now be considered as the fifth item. That is, it seems that there have been some discussions about this as well. That is, do you want to make a decision? Okay, I'm sure. Okay. So, you're right.
We're voting on another objection that came after changing Mr. Sheridan. I want to make sure that's how it is. Because I got a lot of emails from Cindy saying that the person will join the committee. No, I didn't understand that. Oh, I'm sorry. What do you want? Okay, I meant to say that. Because I thought there was a problem with the agenda.
The committee didn't have the opportunity to review it and submit a proposal to the board about the law, so there was a problem with removing it. That's why it was removed from the agenda. You are not allowed to legislate Brandon's future. His term is in place. This is to legislate him as chair. According to the by-law, the board has to legislate him as chair. That's the order I put forward. This is not about the term being extended. Because Brandon's term is due next year, by 2027. So I wanted to make it clear about the agenda. Then another thing, it was in the agenda, but because some parts of the process were not completed, it was cancelled. Then the discussion about Brandon and Frank. In my opinion, there was a general opinion that he should continue in the Frank committee and make use of his knowledge about the system, but he thought that he would be in a position to be the committee chair for funding in the coming term as he spends more time at the Brandon sale. That's why I decided to appoint Brandon as the chair. Otherwise, I don't think I would have the right to vote for him. But they chose Brandon as the chair instead of Frank. That's why there was nothing to it. Yes, Frank and I thought it was Frank. But... Okay. I talked to him. He felt a little surprised. I don't want to go against him.
Obviously, if the committee makes such a decision, they have the right to do so according to the rules. But I'm sure of one thing, because when I read these emails from Cynthia, they said, yes, I think I was wrong. This is related to Jessica's objection that her procedure was not followed. That's right. But the committee has the right to do so when the chairman is appointed. Then the board.
They can't. We have to accept it. Yes.
The committee has the right to appoint the chairman, or to do so. To appoint a chairman and then the board to accept it. That's right. That's why we're standing here today. I want to make sure that all the discussions in the union are handled properly. It was not only to submit to the Board of Commissioners. Yes, I think it was like that.
But I don't have any emails in my hand now. I... But... Okay. But we can move this to the next week to see if the procedures are in accordance with the regulations. I agree with that. Okay, that would be good.
Then we have to make sure that anyone who is required to do so is doing so. Because I think we have to make sure. I know that there is a need to agree on this request. That's a good thing. But we have to give a lot of opportunities to those who use the system before us. So I would like to make sure that we are following the rules. Yes, I would like to add one more reminder.
Because this committee is used by special departments. There are some public places, but the representatives of small towns, the representatives of the elders, and the representatives of the elders have started. Therefore, there are humiliation, because it acts as our committee, and it also follows the legal instructions about the nature of the committee. I think I found the reason for this confusion. Because I was in a hurry to get the roster. I found that there was a terrible link on our website that was not taken to the committee page, and I had to reduce it to get it. So, to fix it, I have sent an application to Cynthia and Kevin. Also, it is required to make sure that the details are posted correctly. But the first thing to pay attention to is that most people come through the county website, and that link is not working there. It went to the page is not available. So let's fix it.
Okay, okay. So, if we move this to the next week, we can try to find out where the rules are not followed. Yes, yes, that's a good idea. Thank you.
But the only thing that rules the brand is this. Do you want to wait for that or do you want to complete it? It's all just to make sure.
Because I think there are a lot of obstacles here. What Cynthia said is, on the one hand, I have not followed the rules. I just want to make sure if it has happened or not. That's all. So, Ken, do you want to call that fifth number and take a vote? Or do you have a problem? If it's in the agenda, there's no problem.
There's nothing wrong with it. If everyone agrees, we can cancel it next time. Okay. So, we're not taking a vote. If it's in G1, it will be included in the agenda. Okay. Good. Let's move forward. There are no public hearings. There are announcements in the form of GK. Let's go to Commissioner King. Thank you. This week was very short for me. There were a lot of emails and phone calls. But since it was the last week of the Venal period, it took some time with the kids. So thank you. Sir.
We had the Pradimassi Yogam of the Self-Defense Force. I thank Kelsik for doing a great job in uniting people from various places. One of the things we discussed is the method to help young people, a banner project that sends messages of expectations about self-defense in schools and other places. Another new thing is that new threats are being raised every time we look at the mental health and health of our youth. However, the children feel that AI is being used for their needs. They chat with AI in search of help for their mental health problems. There was a special problem in that. After receiving a lot of advice from AI, one person committed suicide. So, we are now looking at how to look at such a new threat to the well-being of our children. We talked a little bit about safer home kits through the Suicide Prevention Coalition HHS. That is, things that have been closed down, cable locks that have been installed. In addition, they also announced this in the Mental Health Advisory Committee. We would like to thank Belik for taking care of the education, education and social education of schools. In addition, there was a meeting of our CCO board. Another meeting of the executive committee will take place on Monday. We will discuss what is the progress in terms of how the CCOs in Odhigan will be in Bavi. There are a lot of big changes due to HR1. In addition, there have been changes in the facilities. How will our CCOs be in total? A housing authority board meeting was also held on Wednesday night for the provider of the Otigan Health Plan. The update on the CDBG in McMinnville and the discussion of finding people who are eligible to renovate homes for Otigan Healthy Homes members due to climate issues was also discussed. Veterans Restore and Health Safety Grant Many members were also selected for this, and the Church Street reconstruction was also carried out. Through the foreclosure and the Church Street project from the county, many people know that this project will continue. With the completion of construction activities, the reconstruction is also completed. Three brokers have set a price of Rs 4,30,000 to Rs 4,35,000 for this property. They have decided to sell this house in the county's estate. This has been completely improved and made beautiful. This will be available to families who are involved in financial activities with the Housing Authority. This is a big guarantee. This is what we usually do using the things we have in our hands. It is no longer possible to do that, but anyway. Then, people are asking about the facility of Newburgh's Waste Management Transfer Station. There was a temporary closure there. Waste management is mostly related to the fact that they are saying that the problem is because of the pollution coming from outside due to the pollution in other places. So they are trying to solve it. But it creates some problems. I am more interested in the fact that there will be people who use the things that they cannot take with them in pick-up trucks. So we are trying to investigate it and try to stop it. An email was received from a person who wished to take their bottle for recycling. So, we talked to Ashley, who handles these cards, and asked if they could do it. They live next to a winery. When the winery gets this service, they ask why they can't pay me and take my bottles and glasses. So, when Ashley helped with Recology, another question about the flock cameras came up. You know, the flock cameras have become more popular and they have become controversial. Congress is investigating what they are actually doing using this data. But because there is one on College Road, I got connected to Newburgh. I got connected to ODOT, ODOT. They are saying that they are not allowing flock cameras on our roads. I understand that they are investigating the ways they are allowing in Bavi. So we have to pay attention to that. Because they are taking pictures of all the cars and license plates that pass through the flock cameras. But what are they doing with that? Is accepting such details without a warrant a violation of our rights? So, this is something we need to pay attention to in order to run. In addition, I got in touch with Rachel Thomas, the wife of the late Will Worthy. They said that we only have a speed camera of 99W in Will and a red light camera of 99W in downtown. Floke has applications for cameras, but they say they can be road construction cameras. Anyway, people are trying to find out what these cameras are.
Okay, the board meeting on the top was last Thursday. It went well. This year, we received a record share. Last year, there were about 31,000 people, but this year it has exceeded 36,000. That is, our vendors have increased by 18 to 30 percent. Overall, this was a great mountain. This continues to work well. So, we have to pay close attention to the location of our mountain. I know that many of the mountains near us are on the opposite side, but our situation is different. We are constantly growing. We are growing every year, so we have to make sure that we are paying attention to this. On Monday, as part of the Parkway Committee, we gave a tour to our grant writers for the Newburgh-Dundee Bypass. Next spring, if the federal government offers a rural grant, Info-Grant or Mega-Grant, we are ready to request federal funding to complete the Bypass. So we started from the Rex Hill area of Pace 2B. There was no construction going on there, but there was construction going on along the way. It was a good thing that we got the audio of the Odot, which had been operating for years. When we stood there, they were able to accurately describe where we were at each step. So we stopped there. We stopped at the Shah Alam Glen Golf Course, which passed through the bypass. There were some details about the obstacles that the Earth was facing. We continued to move to the two E's, which are built on the Earth's surface, and talked about how it would help in terms of traffic, and about the overpasses that would come in Pace 2B when connected to Rex Hill. We then moved on to the final phase, which was related to the MacDougall Interchange. We talked about the roundabout that was to come and how it would be bypassed. It was a great event, and it showed us the results. The grant writers gave a lot of information. Within the next eight months, we expect the federal government to be able to prepare for it if such an opportunity arises. There was a lot of participation in that event. It went well. The whole week was about running around. I had a running meeting on Wednesday. There was a kick-off meeting for the opening ceremony. So, in the next one and a half years, you will hear more updates about the 18th intersection of Lafayette Highway. It is the most dangerous intersection in the Odigon region. So, ODOT knows about it. It is in their interest. We are in the supply chain. Yes, we have not received full funding. But there is time from one and a half to two years. We have received full funding for the design. That is the first phase. As we move forward with that, the designs will start completely. Then we will be able to know the costs. We will be able to continue funding. We know that completing that project is the most important thing for ODOT. So that is why we are starting it. I am a part of those meetings. As I am a part of the Parkway Committee, I will be able to provide updates. Yes. Yesterday, there was another meeting at ODOT, but it was about Connect Otigon Grand Funding, which was more focused on that. We are in the process of advancing our projects to the top of the ACT, which belongs to Yamil County. Therefore, it is not only for Yamil County, but also for our ACT. So, after the initial ranking, two projects took place in our field, one of which is Aurora Airport. They want to renovate the roads around the airport, because it is becoming a popular airport, so some of the entrance roads to that airport need to be renovated. The other one is our own airport in McMinnville. It is a good thing that it is not needed too much. As a committee, we moved some of the projects that we all joined from Meghalaya 2 to the bottom and decided to move our project to the top. It was a big effort. I think it went well. Our project in Macmillanville is new. Yes. New Airplane Terminal. I say Terminal. This is not a big event. This is like a small house or office. When employees come, they have a place to sit. Currently, our Terminal is just a temporary office in Chakram. The second part of this is the hangar of the Second World War. It is going to be used as a navigation and protection for the Indian tanks in the middle. So everything is going well. We have changed some things. We are on the list. We will look at what the Connect Odigon Committee is choosing and what their ranking is. We expect to know something in the coming months. The mock fair board will be held at 6 p.m. today. The state fair starts on Friday. If you are interested, I suggest you go there. Our family often goes there. It seems to be a 10-day event. So, it will last until September 7. So, you have many days to enjoy this opportunity. We enjoy it every year. Go and eat some scones and then don't forget to go to the Diary Women's Ice Cream booth. That's the best ice cream. So, if there is nothing else for the good of the assembly. I am ending this here.
