Board of Supervisors - Regular Meeting

flag. I pledge algiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for it stands one nation under God indivisible with liberty and justice for all. We ask for approval of the consent agenda for the agenda and the minute from April 21st. Board of Supervisors meeting.

Motion made and seconded to approve the consent agenda. Any discussion? Not. All those in favor? Okay. First thing on the agenda is open public hearing on ordinance reviews for chapters 12,25 and 37. 37 12 and 25. I'm sorry. Excuse me. My fault. That correct? 371 1225. I'd make the motion to open the public hearing. Second 816

a motion made second is to open the public hearing at 8:16 discussion of ordinance revision give us a rundown what what the little things and stuff are on them. Those in favor? Yes. All those in favor?

I Okay. Chapter three is the uniform rural address system we're putting in here. Um just for further clarification that entrances can have up to three 911 addresses and entrance um for potentially through a variance and that would be up to you guys to decide. What we're trying to uh not encourage, I guess, is someone buying piece of ground, one entrance, and then selling off multiple parts. So, basically kind of skirting the subdivision ordinance. So, if we make it where you can have three at a maximum, potentially four,

public safety, too, and a sheriff or rescue sheriff, then we're looking good, too. And that is the reason if they're going to have that many back there, we want to go through the subdivision ordinance so we can make sure the roads are for emergency services and things like that. So that's chapter change. Chapter seven, snow and ice removal, having a section in here on a parking van for culdeacs um just during winter operations that they should have their trailers, vehicles off the roadway so we can cross them. Chapter 12, making changes to the seal coat surface road section stating that um according to the county engineer or if people wish to have their roads seal coded, it spells out a process for that. Currently, the ordinance says no seal code roads will be added to our system. So this gives us some flexibility. If it does make engineering sense, economical sense, then we can move forward with that process of potentially changing.

Also in chapter 12, um under bridges and drainage structures, existing verbiage said that culberts underpaid roads shall be concrete. changing that to give us more flexibility in the materials to include CMP, plastic pipes and also comfort. Chapter 25 is the most changes. First one is making private roads permitted through the subdivision ordinance. Uh and then the way that would work, it's granted by the board. Also in that it can be granted that they can utilize uh gravel road surfaces in that private subdivision and then they must create a homeowner association or something like that to maintain the road because the county would not be.

Um we changed a few of the design criteria. um certain things like 10 foot graph shoulders with a 4% slope um outside of the 24T roadway.

In practicality, even our roads don't have this. So, we thought making that a requirement of 24 foot wide plus 10t 10 foot, we're getting out there even quite a far quite far. Depending on what the four slopes are, we might even get the edge of our rightway. So just kind of narrowing that down. We figured a 4ft grab shoulder is fine on most surface roofs. We changed sidewalks supposed to be um 5T now according to the most recent ADA requirements. existing Burbage had four feet and then changing just something on the slope of the roads. We kept it the same as the criteria, but it's just confusing the way it was worded. So, we input in there the longitudinal grade match. Some of that stuff's just clarifying, making easier to read. Also, the last thing we put in there was some further clarification on storm sewer design for subdivisions. Uh, we referenced the Iowa storm water manual and then put in there that they have to submit to us a storm water drainage report and then if our current system will be unendated with the proposed changes. So, the addition of impervious surfaces to the roads, houses, things like that. If that's going to no longer make our ditches or culberts adequate then they have to treat it somehow whether it's retention basin detention upsize culvers ditches things like so just further clarification so that it's the same across the board but I'll get designers that call me hey what do you guys require and it's been just kind of vague

delay the current language that is all of our proposed changes Our office didn't receive any written or oral comments for educating motion to close a public hearing at 8:22. I'll second that. A motion made and seconded to close the public hearing at 8:22. All those in favor I carried.

License number. We have uh dollar Dollar Gen Corp or Dollar Jen Corp LLC is changing their ownership. So I have an ownership request change and that's for the Dollar General at 31481 Jonkey Jankee. Is it Jonkey? How do you say that? I heard Yon Yonke. All right. Also, let's call up. I know. That's what I I just like I don't think that's right though. Um and then also at 67687 US Highway 275 and Ter. So those two would be effective, but it's just an ownership change which is pretty common. Thank you. I think you're right.

I'll make the motion to approve the two liquor licenses for Dollar General. Who's there? Dollar General who? It's Doll Jin Corp LLC. Dol Jin Corp LLC.

I will second a motion made and seconded to approve liquor license for B Corp at Melbourne location and Taber location. Any questions? All those in favor? Right. Car. How about comment? Let's go, buddy.

I got I attended the GRC renovation committee, whatever you want to call it. And what I insume assumed out of it that they were not going to open 240th out there by Ives Avenue because they're taking two entrances off of 34. I think that's right. They decided to go another route. They weren't going to use 240th for taking all their demolition stuff down, all that. And so I'm just asking that means that I avenue will never be paved, right? Won't mean new sports be paid. Might be way down the road. Huh? Might be very far down the road.

That's what I thought. I already talked about five years and that's up anyway. Well, if they don't use 240, it probably wouldn't make any any sense to do paving.

Well, I had a little objection to that when we had it in our meeting. And I says, "So, we're going to haul all this rubbish and stuff down through Glenn Haven's Road." And the Lord sat there and looked at me like, "Well," I says, "Well, is it is it really fair? You know, these are Yeah, I realize these will be Glennwood streets, but what what's the damage that could be done with truckload after truckload coming down through here when the original plan was to rock 240th I was over the hill, you know. So, uh that is just my opinion. So, gone. Uh, and the new guy that's looking at the place up there really doesn't want trucks on the new pavement till at least later on in the wintertime. Most of it will be pretty well demolished down. I won't be a hauled out or not, but I still think that's the way to go out of the resource center is on the new roads 234 because it throws a big load on kid road and then well either one of the intersections they use getting on the 34 as a death trap. They have a timeline for when those two entrances are going to be.

They they're they're supposed to be done by June and they're they've got the roads pretty well built. All they got left to do is uh what they call him bank the shoulder and put a drainage to him. They're ready to pay. Any other concerns from the public? You're on here again. technique consideration formal action sign cooperative agreement for bridge removal mitigation program risk bridge over I29. This is the final step done the resolution. We've talked about it. Um this is the agreement that capsulates all of that. So once we sign this will sign it and then shortly after we'll get our money deposit inventory for sure some of it's going to be available the local landowner

yeah that landowner also raised a concern to me and I just want to Um, do you have any plans for what funds perceived will go towards project wise more than just, you know, do we have any bridges in mind? I know kind of his opinion was it should be somewhere in the area since it's his bridge is scheduled for placement here in the next eight months. So that's in the area. 215 is in the area. Um, but these ones are going to help allow me to construct quicker bridge that I want to do without 10th Street Matality. So we've already got uh some people looking at that. So we can hire design for pretty soon and get that constructed. And those funds are primarily coming from this I mean, I guess it depends how you look at it. You could say that money is going to this and then that money is going there. I mean,

yeah, it's all going in the same fund, but there two bridges in the area that are being reconstructed and one that was completed right when I started. So, 22. That's three time. I'll make a motion to sign the cooperative agreement for bridge removal mitigation program for the risk road bridge over I49. Second. Been a motion made and seconded.

Sign a cooperative agreement for bridge removal mitigation program or pertains to risk road over I29. Any other discussion? Not all those in favor carries. They have timeline.

I have not heard at all. Um but I believe December because they wanted to let the project to repair the bridge and that was kind of the point of trying to fasttrack this is we don't want to repair it. We're just going to remove it. So imagine it's somewhere sign that sign on this.

No. Okay. Next on the agenda is consideration formal action sign update title six asurances. So, the title six non-discrimination assurances, um, Steve with the Iowa DOT civil rights bureau, he's going to come down for a on-site visit miday, believe May 13th, visit with me and just kind of go through a checklist, make sure we're hitting all the boxes and then any suggestions that he may have for those. Uh, while scheduling that, I sent him our assurances. We signed this beginning of the year, but he said there's just an updated form. So that's all this is up the updated form but essentially has the same things on that side. Just need to sign and get that back. We'll make the motion to approve the engineer signing the updated 506urances. A motion made and seconded assign the updated title six asurances. Any more discussion? Hearing none. All those in favor

one place only. General discussion, sir. All right. Just wanted to give you guys an update. Uh last week I told you I'm going to have a meeting with foreman assistant or myself just to kind of discuss our current rock rates and just see if there's places that we could save money uh better quality product things like that. So not saying this is put to rest but just wanted to go through some information that we found interesting things we came across. So the first sheet is just kind of a narrative. Um and then the last two are kind of some of the formulas and numbers that we were able to come up with. All in all, uh some things I wanted to touch on going through the narrative is right now our current rate is 450 tons per mile. That's for every road car on the market. It's 400 tons per mile. Wondering why those are different. Um, and I think that's just because whenever we had done the farm to market uh project, that was more economically feasible to do the 400 tons versus the 450 coming out of our farm to market. That's the only reason we can come up with that of the difference. Um, they both are on a three-year schedule. However, talking with our foreman, he said, even though we're on a three-year schedule for rocks, kind of put in quotes, it does depend on the road. There's some roads that get a lot less traffic, if they don't need it, it might be pushed out to four, maybe five years before it's rock. Other roads like Eastman is a

good example. It gets farmed to market and then we at least on the west end spot rock it at that 450 pounds per mile at least once sometimes two or even three times in a year. So that's getting rocked three or four times whereas other roads might be once every five years. So there is a little bit of flexibility that we do currently pose on our practices. However, if we are rocking a road it is going to be the 450 tons per mile. So looking at that specifically if we can correlate that to uh traffic counts and some problems or challenges that we've come up with on that is one our maths from the DOT we don't have a high confidence in those we have found roadways where the math actually doesn't even make sense if you have this many cars going in and this number change but the roads around it that connected to doesn't we can see that some of um are not going to be as accurate as as we think. And just talking with foreman and road graders, there's roads out there that they see just constant traffic and then our traffic counts actually look like they went down. So according to the DOT map, so that's one problem. Another problem is that if we are introducing different rates per road and we're doing multiple roads per day, that does introduce more human error between the operators and truck drivers. People get confused. That's something we could work through, but something we still discuss. Also, since we do have traffic maps, one thing we notice, it doesn't indicate the kind of traffic. Uh, so a blade operator may know that this road eats up rock like crazy, but you look at the traffic map and they might say 50 vehicles per day. The reason for that is those 50 vehicles may all be heavy trucks, whereas another road that says 150

vehicles per day, passenger vehicles really not doing much damage to the road. So there's no way to really kind of separate that out. Last challenge that we thought of is we reduce the rate too much. uh we may not reveal the negative result until years later and then it's hard to play catch up. So we want to be mindful of that.

Okay. So, in the conclusion of what we're thinking uh going forward, what we're going to do right now is we're going to put a lot of confidence more into people on the road. So, that's primarily going to go to our blade operators. They're on them roads all the time. They know which roads eat up rock fast. Confirming that with the foreman and discussing truck drivers, but give them some flexibility to adjust the rate. So we're going to adjust the rate as low as 350 tons per mile on Rosac seem to you put rock down and it lasts a long time less truck traffic things like that. And then also give them the flexibility to increase rate up to 550 tons per mile. Again, that might be somewhere the west side of Eastman, things like that. Predominant, you know, so we'll keep our mid-range that four 450, but then give them flexibility. And the reason we don't want to go less than the 350, again, we want to keep track of these. So, we're going to try them on a few roads and we're going to monitor them. And if it's just getting eaten up too fast, then we didn't change all that 350 mil. The words that came to mind were not u we don't get caught too far behind. So we'll start with 350. Another thing that came out of this uh meeting was the issue of dust control. So right now the way it works if people want to sign up for dust control they sign up with the company. The company comes to us gives us a list of all the plants that they're going to have. We go out and we rock all of those sections at the 450 tons per mile before they spray it. It's kind of what we've always done. And the reason for that is because when they spray the road with that calcium chloride, one of

the things supposed to do is hold in moisture, but it also, and there's some controversy on this, but from what we see, it breaks down the rock. So, breaks down the rock, but then holds in moisture. So, in the summertime, you can clearly see after it rains, they just become sloppy messes. So, that's why we try to put rock on these sections. Well, in doing that, uh, we put some numbers together. We have currently about 18 miles of dust control this year. Equating that to a dollar figure, that's $145,000 that we're spending just on these dust control sections. Uh, that's 10 to 15% of our annual rocking budget. So, in a way, it's almost as if we're rewarding the people for doing the death control that the foreman and operators don't like because it is breaking down our rock quicker. We rock these spots every year. So, that's kind of putting some of this on you guys to think about u what we're doing right now while you guys think about it. And if we come up with different decision, it's fine. But we have certain rocks, rock roads that we plan for project every year. What we're doing right now going forward from this point is if that road is not on the schedule for the entire year to be rocked, then we're not going to bring in extra rock specifically for that dust control spot. So just doing that this year, that saves us. it will shave off $98,000 that we're not spending on dust slots. So, because some of them are scheduled for project what I was playing around with and potentially proposing for you guys to make a decision on uh going forward, if someone does want dust control and they're not on that schedule to be

project rock that year, so basically two out of the three years they're not going to be on the list. If they want rock, then they would pay for the materials and labor for us to bring it out later. So, with that being so much money of $145,000, the way I kind of look at it is you have a lot of people on the east side don't have dust control, a lot of those tax dollars are going specifically to the people that want dust control that arguably, I mean, they move to a gravel road. Gravel roads are nasty just as they are here and there. So, it's just a lot of money to do and it takes up a lot of time as well. So, I think there is room for changes there. That's what we're doing right now, but potentially even going forward, we could make further changes and we can I can bring this up again, but just something to think. The big spreadsheet here, I'll run through that so you guys are looking at it. You kind of know what's going on. The top uh table there, I just put what the rock prices have been from 2020 and then all the way up to now and then projected out if they increase at the 7% what that would look like for total budget. In 2020, price of rock was $1210 per ton. Today we're at $1825 per ton. Uh so that's an increase. was at $742,000 with the rock budget now is closer a little over 1.1 million. If we continue this out in 2034, so eight years, our budget's going to have to be close to 2 million just to do the same amount of roads each year. So that's why putting in some of these other measures is going to help offset that. Um table down below shows if we do

adjust our rate of rock Based on the AAPT, so the annual um average driving traffic, it shows that just shifting down to 350 on some rows, even up to 500 on the more expens more higher traffic roads, we could see savings in about the $200,000 range just for making that SL adjustment annually.

Yes. So I did out for 2026, 27 all the way up to 2032. The green highlighted is if we make those adjustments expected. So now granted making these changes with the increase increasing cost of rock $200,000 increase may just equate out where now we're able to rock the same amount of roads to account for price increase. So it may not be an additional service, it's maintaining service. So,

that's kind of our conclusion right now. Uh, we'll still continue to look at other ways like this permiss we're going to be using for seal coat roads. We're going to try it out on some scramble roads itself and see if that kind of helps along the rock if we can stabilize the base more. So, we're going to continually looking at other options. We're looking at variation, see if there's way we can maximize that or make it more efficient for us. Talk with the core, things like that. So, different ways to try to save money and make the dollar go farther.

Anything else for me?

Thank you. get all your pictures back. Yeah, I think so. Okay, next on our agenda is Sandy Whitten, Andrea Krueger, London Bad,

beautiful day. So we are here for the government and have a big 200th birthday celebration starting the 26 of June June. Sorry starting at um the Liberty Garden on Tuesday off there and run through the 4th of July. Audra and Stephanie Bag are the two in charge of the planning of this activities and the festivities. So, you want to tell them a little bit about what you've got planned and then I'll talk about the slice.

Um each day there'll be something going on in the community what well either here in Glenwood or throughout the county. Um we're incorporating everybody's activities in the calendar. Um, one of the things that we're doing here is train rides around the square. So that's train rides to use the the courthouse area. Um, the Hansen house is bringing a train down. So then doing a bunch of other activities course but and then um culminating the the eight days is uh worse down. So

okay. So my portion of it is how we decorate the square for Christmas with all the lights. So we want to do the big tree with the red, white, and blue lights. And then you know the spritzers that usually hang down all the white spritzers. They will be happen to have some arts and crafts here. So there'll be red spritzer, white spritzer and blue spritzer hanging all over. We have 30 of those this year as we able to send more. We'll add I think they run 60 some spritzers right now for the winter time. So we'll have 30 of this year. 15 strands on the tree and 15 strands on the fence line. And it'll be red, white, and blue lights going around the fence line too. And then the big tree is going to be red, white, and blue. And we've been we're still in talks about the date we're going to start that. Um we're thinking either Memorial Day to Labor Day or possibly the week of the celebration. Um we still haven't decided 100% as a committee when we want to start that. And Dylan from Short Blades would be the one who's doing all the work. So he's got the plans to where he's hanging the lights above. So we don't have to worry about mowing. In the winter time we don't have to worry about mowing. So they're on the ground, but um in the summer time that's going to be an issue. So he's got boards going above. So

So we would like permission to be on board. Yeah. Motion to grant permission committee for lights around the square for the birthday celebration. All right. A motion made, seconded. Have lights around the square for Americans 250th birthday celebration starting approximately 226.

Any other memorial? We were thinking Memorial Day, Labor Day. We have it as here. honoring her. So yeah,

any other discussion request can you ask for Mr. S's updated insurance information? Sure. And then also for the train ride. We'll probably need updated insurance information on from that as well. That's the only request I have for those. Yeah. Perfect. You see? Thank you. Any other questions, concerns? All those in favor?

Motion carries. Next on the agenda is using courthouse drive for train ride on June 28th, 2026. plan is for similar to the carriage ride at the holiday festival for the train to stage load everybody and then just go around first street and then back of drive and then also have some the Girl Scouts are willing to do some face painting that kind of stuff on the kids. So just a simple loop.

Yes.

But we can Are you going to sit in for the supervisor? Sir 80 women and you haven't reached it yet. Oh yes.

It'd be starting at one. The train rides would start at one. So I make a motion to authorize the betterment group to use the courthouse drive for train rides on June the 28th, 2026 starting at noon.

Second. A motion made and seconded to allow use of the courthouse drive for train rides on June 20 8 starting at noon. Any further discussion, questions? Not. All those in favor?

Motion carries. Next, we're going to give the kids a parade. So this is red, white, and blue bike trike wagon walking in stroller just getting everybody involved. Um the Eagles are actually have actually volunteered to host the parade. I'll take a charge. So they may do something more. They haven't decided yet, but just wanted to get the kids portion on because we would again like to use the courthouse drive just to make it a shorter for the kids that are little and store their wagon, but it's all about decorating them. I make a motion to allow the bike parade on July 3rd, 2026 courthouse.

Yes. Motion made and second approve allow a kids bike parade on July 3rd 2022nd around the square which is a Friday by in the afternoon. Yes, it'll be after business hours will be fun.

Any other questions? comments. All those in favor uh celebration on Friday is at 3:30. meet here around 3:00 in front of the courthouse. Okay. Right. Ceremony. Okay.

Um, uh, Judge Ria, I think that's her name. She's going to be here. There people from the Iowa State Bar Association going to show up. Sent John kind of informing me a little bit what was going to take place. It'll be here on the south side's courthouse. The ceremonial will start at 3:30. And and then do you know what it entails? What plan?

All he told me was that there would be a pre presentation from this organization, this person to this person. I guess if you want more county attorney's office. Okay. That's all he told me on this coming Friday. This coming Friday. That's all he told me on yesterday. Is that for day or No. Law day.

Well, it's kind of like law day, but the it's for the commemoration of the 250th year. We're getting a 250 year flag hanging here. Thank you lady. Um update on data process uh for now we had about 8 applications come in over the last week and a half so that we covered it all. Um so we're going to go ahead and put a pause for that kind of gap back up. Um however um pretty confident hopefully we have one in the process already. Um we can hopefully bring to you next week to try and get on board. She's previously certified in another through the state. So good.

Yeah. Trying to get her on board. Um I'll let Richard talk about talk about your your events attending the meeting last night. Um that went well, but I'll let I'll let Richard tell that whole process later. And then uh next week, like I said, hopefully hire that have an off the new jailer. Um, and we're going to bring also the contracts for the we all signed back. So, we have to approve those significance we had earlier in the year being dismantled with be considerably cheaper than I'll bring that formal request.

Are these are these sports cars? Dangers. Draco. We're having trouble with Ford vehicles in Flipco. That guy sat at the intersection the other day and it shelled the whole thing through the van and he was at idle and another one going down the road. It just exploded. And when you go back to the company, they say, "Yeah, we're having trouble with them. We we'll we'll replace the motor." It's hard to believe that replacing motors better than redesign engineering. Yeah. They're they're still using the same thing they used three years ago and haven't improved, you know, it cost doesn't cost us anything except we lose the vehic. Yeah. The time

time, you know, then we have to reschedu and makes it tough for us. Anyway, other than that, I don't have anything else. Thank you. Any questions? Thank you.

Hey, next is Amber Farm, auditor, consideration, formal action, reset public hearing date for ordinance 2601. So, we had previously published the ordinance um for the public hearing and it didn't get on the agenda. It was an oversight on my part. So, I apologize for that. Um but I do I have would like to reset that for the ordinance 261. That's the one about the the waiver homes.

So, I would like to set that for May 12th, 2026 at 8:15. And then also we would have the first read that day as well. I'll make the motion to reset public hearing date for 2601 on May 12, 2026 at 8:15 a.m. Get a motion made and seconded. Hold on a public hearing date for ordinance 2601 on May 12th at 8:15 p.m. I may not be around either. Check it out and see who doesn't awake and we'll also do the first reading that day. Any other discussion? Not. All those in favor I

carries. Next on the agenda is consideration formal action Henderson loss funds request. On the back of your packet is our current loss budget for fiscal year 27. What the um budget for and how much remaining question 30 in your meeting 25 to 30 I think

30 make a point of clarification if I make a motion to buy the $30,000 that way we have the motion on the floor second it and then we can it can be amended later to whatever dollar markets deciding there any dollar market that my understanding correct or you guys just discuss it now without a motion

formal formal you can make a motion motion to discuss it or make a motion to provide funds and then they'll send a dollar amount to you if I'll Make a motion to provide local and sales tax funds to the Henderson accessible playground. Second.

We have a motion made and seconded. Open for discussion. mouth. You give him some 10,000. Is that correct? July one. Yes.

In favor of pending my motion to provide $10,000 to the playground from local auction sales tax. Graham second. Okay, we have a motion that was made. A motion that was amended. We have to vote on them separately. Okay.

All right. and clarification who would provide $10,000 any fund for the Henderson playground equipment. There any discussion? Not all those in favor? I thank you ladies. Appreciate it. Thank you. uh you know need more later on, come back and talk to us. Thank you. We try and we try and treat everybody fair on all this and we're not understandable.

We have other organizations coming in and be able to help though.

Can you send me a letter requesting that 10,000 so I can put in a file to make sure we pay it? Thank you. And next on the agenda is board of supervisors committee updates. I attended a SWIPCO meeting last week at uh our biggest discussion was how to keep vehicles on the road. motor troubles. We've had to repair some motors alone are $31,000. To get one set in with our mechanic or another mechanic, it's about $3500. So, you know, $35,000 to replace a motor is. And then time out, time down. Uh that's one of our big discussions. And yesterday I went to uh Nista Productions was held in Red Oak. Our biggest uh headache there, we got a notification from our insurance company. They were going up 25% plus on account of one accident. And you know when you're paying $400,000 and we get a 25% increase and like somebody says when when do you stop? volume. So, um I went to about EMA 3MC meeting last night where we approved the hire of our new uh assistant. Trying to think what it means. First thing, Lucy.

What? Martin. We hired a lady from uh uh Lucy Martin, a young gal that started out as a firefighter in uh Shannidoa, Iowa. Uh she went to UNO. Uh she's been uh I thought she graduates coming up here I think in May. Uh she asked for a week before she could come because her class had planned a senior trip to go someplace and you know why not? Young kids like to have parties so we let her go. But uh had two people interview. Uh both were very good but she answered questions and and things to us like she had done all the work already. I mean, she's got a degree in emergency management feel that she will fit into Mills County rather uniquely. So, that's all I have. Last week uh had a phone call meeting with Mayor Jill Shudek of Council Bluffs. Talked about Project Costa. The main hurdle for Project Costa uh was taken care of last week in terms of uh wastewater treatment and overall water necessity and water supply. And so Project Costa will begin due diligence here shortly and I'm sure Mark Norman will be back to uh inform you all of that. I also had a phone call meeting with John Height with tall grass pipeline. He informed us that uh project was going to go through. Um they're going to start what do you say here at the end of April and then go

until probably later day. He also threw out there that there could be the possibility if the supervisors wanted to go and look at the project with the engineers there while they're building it that they'd be happy to accommodate that. Last week also had a meeting for Golden Hills. Angie Remington is no longer the director of Golden Hills. Mark Shoemaker, who is the former head of Pawani County Conservation, is the interim director of Golden Hills, and we're working through getting a new director in the position. Mark's doing it. That's all I have.

Last week had a legislative policy committee meeting with Isac conversation with the tall grass pipeline. per week. Hey, any new businesses? Only thing I have is uh we have an election day coming up June 2nd which happens to fall on our meeting day. Uh any suggestions what the board wants to do? We want to move to maybe a Thursday.

Day before I think we just moved it a day. No, that whole week in June. In June, you're gone. The whole week. Don't have to do it. Maybe we don't have account payable or anything. Double check then. Okay. But yeah, I can double check that. But yeah, I think sometimes you guys just skip that. We our office is pretty inundated with so no meeting with you guys in Minnesota. So through Zoom on if they need to

there's a council, we can just move it, right? This afternoon motion for adjournment. Make motion to journ at 910. Second. The motion made, seconded to adjourn at 9:10. All those in favor? I. Thank you, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you.
