The fair in 4-H is one of the few events that brings together the entire county. all in one place, especially to celebrate agriculture, which is our county's history.

And it's quite substantially higher than what we've had in the past. So if there's any way that we can help you pay off a loan, That way in the future, if let's say we're in a crunch time and we don't have those logic sales tax, we're able to decrease some of the fundin

34:56 – 37:21•Jack Sayers

This meal policy, the bulk of it. I asked for it to be provided by Mike Galloway. It would have been about a month and a half, two months ago now. The 10, 12, and 18, 10 for breakfast, 12 for lunch, and 18 for dinner is the state's reimbursable amount for meals and is what Mike Galloway's office has recommended to counties such as Dickinson County If you saw the one that was from Dickinson County, it was a policy draft. It wasn't the actual resolution itself. That policy draft said we recommend the state's amount for the per meal plan, which, like I said, was 10, 12, 18. There wasn't a whole l

I know I can get a $10 breakfast at Vine Street Cafe. You can get a $10 breakfast at many places. You can't get everything on the menu. you can get certain things um you know i think that it's important to important to note that you know we will reimburse up to ten dollars because there's things on the menus that are up to ten dollars however if somebody does spend fourteen dollars that will reimburse the ten dollars and then they'll have to do four dollars that's their choice i think i don't really have time to look through it but

We can adopt it and then just wait until the credit card policies. We've written that section of the credit card policy.

40:00 – 40:27•Lonnie Mayberry

We have to continue this first. I have no problem waiting another week if it happens next week. So if that's the agreement, I can withdraw my motion. We want to wait until next week. That's your call. Your motion.

41:42 – 41:58•Lonnie Mayberry

I agree. I'm not seeing that they have it.

42:35 – 43:02•Lonnie Mayberry

This is an opinion that wasn't conflicting on the current policy unless the current policy gets changed. This one did include same-day travel.

43:08•Jack Sayers

It did include it, but I took that out the same day of travel because I know that that's conflicting with our current policy. So it did have that in there in the beginning.
