34 sections (from 35 segments)

11:02 – 11:22•Gary Martin

So in the first paragraph, it says, let's see. So the original memorandum was tip 22 at that point. That's correct. It didn't really need to change the length of the term. It may have changed the length of the term there.

13:36 – 13:48•Gary Martin

I'll make a motion to renew the memorandum of understanding with Wilson County and also effective today from January 10th, 2025 to January 9th. Second.

17:22•Gary Martin

Why do we share it? They should be providing this to you, correct?

17:44 – 17:59•Gary Martin

So what's the difference between what you're able to do and what I'm able to do just pulling in a... Just as a person, I log in here right now and look up my property. What's different between me doing that and you doing that?

18:06•Gary Martin

But you're only sharing the CAD portion.

18:25•Gary Martin

And shouldn't any of you, if there's any, there's a Washington Post and Kennedy and Udall, tell me about it.

18:39 – 18:54•Gary Martin

We're not there. We can ask that if you want to. It shouldn't have this part in the end date.

19:13•Gary Martin

So are you saying that... Well, that's what I'm asking. The agreement says it's a calendar year and we don't work over a calendar year.

19:36 – 19:50•Gary Martin

Well, that doesn't have anything to do with that. That's a January thing. This has to do with the budget. So as long as that payment's made before October 1st because I did look at the contract because after the

20:41•Gary Martin

That's what we've been doing. That's why I'm asking.

23:27•Gary Martin

Okay, so you don't know how the tax office works, but I invite you to come to my office one day and sit so we can show you

30:03 – 30:31•Gary Martin

He prefers a two-year contract. Well, I mean, I agree with kind of what you said. I guess the reality right now is that today it will be in the next year. You're saying December 27th? It'll be January 1 to 28th probably is the estimated date.

30:51 – 31:55•Gary Martin

It actually is everything. He can get out of this contract quickly. What date did you want it to end at? I would say December 31, 2007 is what I would recommend. Okay. That gets you closer to it, to two years. It should be open by then. There might be some transition period in the very beginning, but as it goes to county, it's on the calendar year budget. They're asking that you follow the calendar year.

32:08 – 32:48•Russell A. King

We're done with the motion. So I'll make a motion to approve the renewal for the auto-tap, auto-tap seat. Forensic. That's off. That's off. Service 20 Wilson county and Ray Hernandez MD pllc June 1 2026 to December 31st 2027. all right motion made by commissioner Keene seconded by commissioner kirtle I cannot make that correction initially would that suffice

33:41 – 34:26•Gary Martin

Okay, so we're working with the county attorney's office and the The auditor's office, we have been, our county engineer, JCI, prepared plans, public mislabels, and things have been published. This bid was a low bid project, and so D&D instruction, or D&D contractors was the low bidder in that amount of $564,062.90. And so at this point, I'm recommending that we proceed ahead with our low bid and authorize the county judge Execute a contract. Is that a motion, sir? Well, I can make it as a motion, but I just wanted to see if there were any questions.

34:29 – 34:40•Gary Martin

Okay, then I'll make a motion to award a construction contract that's authorized a judge to execute a construction contract with D&D contractors in and out of 564 or 063.

36:32 – 36:43•Gary Martin

Hey, thanks to the, I'll see you all right. This is going to be a test contract with what you have. All the.

37:04 – 37:40•Gary Martin

So last year when we prepared the budget, I discussed this with the auditor, and she just recommended I prepare my budget since we didn't have any idea where the numbers would come in. And then we would do a budget amendment to do that. So I spoke to Ms. Lomas, and she's agreed that this is the appropriate thing to take it from and to move it to. So with that said, I'll make a motion to make a budget amendment to move $300,000 from the precinct one Road and Bridge Converter Fund Account to the Road and Bridge and Parish Line Item for the 2025-26 Pledge of Declanment of Pequot Phase 1 Project.

37:49 – 38:02•Gary Martin

Hey, hey, I'm sorry. Go ahead. She's got to sit down. So she has an order for us to sign. It's all done. Okay, can we proceed with a vote?

38:27 – 38:54•Gary Martin

Yes, so Mr. Howard called me the other day. He's working on Southwood Oaks. He wanted to store his material to pay someone's driveway in that cul-de-sac. And his agreement with me was that whatever material he had left over, he would spread in that cul-de-sac and take an agreement from the county at no charge. So he said that sounded good to me. So I'll make a motion to accept a donation of road material and labor from Howard Blacktop Delos.

42:34 – 43:15•Russell A. King

I'll make a motion to declare the surplus weapon bids for Red Steps and Gunworks. Okay, so because surplus weapon bids from the dealers and awarded to Red Steps Gun News. An amount of $19,675. Okay, I'll second.

45:46 – 46:07•Gary Martin

Thank you. This is just for the private roads, I see it.

47:06 – 48:59•Russell A. King

So what we did here is with our parking tax and somehow everything that we did, and it has all county added a lot of their permitting stuff. So we got looking at that right now with these, if we had big infrastructures or any infrastructure coming in, we're gonna start to get flooded out. We've got plenty of range and kind of see where our problem areas are ready so kind of got to talk in the Department office and no Wilson county cannot design 100 we cannot but with this go pay attention to all these cities that are getting built up and the concrete everything else we're going to go into our

49:17 – 49:50•Russell A. King

Those regulations are basically, they're already in place and following our flood mitigation and our IFC. The fire marshal was not here, but we did speak to him about that. Do you know what the cost of this permit is going to be? We didn't bring that up, did we? The permit is on there if you want to look that over. I don't have a good cause for the permit.

50:09•Russell A. King

So I was looking at IFC and making sure we didn't come back to him.

51:47 – 52:16•Gary Martin

but I understand that there's already a regulation in place you just have to be careful on these permits and I didn't quite understand so if you recommend we table this because you can get more information why don't we take no action on that that way yeah I think we've got a little more to be curious I don't know if this needs to take you take me back to nelson

1:03:01•Gary Martin

Anybody that wants to comment about pre-planning? Anybody else?

1:05:02•Russell A. King

No. We're good with it as long as it was gated. It wasn't public access.

1:05:08•Gary Martin

Yes. This is a private access. It's not required. It's only for

1:05:23 – 1:05:44•Gary Martin

I'm very familiar. He's not a landlocked. He just walks out. No, I'm not a landlocked. Sometimes he has the road blocked and this and that. It's a civil spot. Nobody can get in and out. There's two other people, three people out there.

1:05:50 – 1:06:03•Gary Martin

Yeah. He just wants cleaner access to his problem. Right. Yes. So the replat's done. We have .

1:06:06•Gary Martin

The replat is just . It is not assigned by .

1:06:49 – 1:07:02•Gary Martin

We've had issues with people bringing stuff because it's not signed and it's created some problems and so we just need to get those things signed. If you get a break, we'll be ready on the next agenda.

1:07:45•Russell A. King
