6:40Speaker 4

I have been observing your establishment for years.

6:41 – 6:53Speaker 3

Technically, it is the oath of allegiance to the United States of America and the Republic that represents it. A nation under the aegis of God, indivisible, with freedom and justice for all.

7:09Speaker 2

Even if it is the approval of the day's order, are there any changes or anything? Okay? Are there any questions?

7:18Speaker 3

I propose to approve the day's order by consent.

7:23Speaker 4

By banning the... ...fifth section under the new federal affairs.

7:35Speaker 1

So, for the contract.

7:35 – 7:54Speaker 3

Yes, the same thing with the life experience. Not really. Faut qu'il soit appuyé. J'appuie la motion. Le compte rendu est deux fois plus long que la réunion habituelle ici.

7:55 – 8:06Speaker 1

D'accord, on les retient simplement. Je les referai et je les rapporterai la semaine prochaine. Oui, juste parce que je vois ce que j'ai fait. J'ai essayé de faire moins long et je n'ai pas oublié d'ajouter les suppléments.

8:07Speaker 4

D'accord, nous avons une motion proposée. Et appuie. During the day, the report that we will report next week, right?

8:15Speaker 1

Everyone agrees with that? All those who are for.

8:28Speaker 2

Comments from the public on the examination of the drinking license. I have not seen any. None. Comments from the public.

8:38Speaker 1

Everything is fine for me.

8:40Speaker 2

What, Bonnie?

8:42Speaker 1

Well, I won't invent anything because it would be a lie.

8:47Speaker 3

He says a positive.

8:48Speaker 1

How do we write that in the contract? Good idea.

8:51Speaker 3

Good idea, okay.

8:54Speaker 1

No comments this time.

8:56 – 9:14Speaker 4

Hey Jacob, it's as you wish. Just a general discussion. I have a few points. The price of fuel is going up very high. We pay more than $5 a gallon for fuel. C'est le plus haut niveau que Marc ait jamais payé à l'année.

9:15Speaker 3

C'est plus cher que moi.

9:17 – 10:42Speaker 4

Je ne sais pas depuis combien d'années, je n'ai pas le chiffre en tête, mais dans son rôle. C'est le plus haut prix jamais payé. C'est généralement un peu moins cher, car nous payons des taxes par rapport à ce qu'on voit. Mais avant cela, vous savez, nous payons autour de 3 dollars. So an increase of 50%, which is equivalent to hundreds of thousands of dollars more than what we pay. Let's hope prices drop soon. Who is it? Yes. Our annual report has been submitted in time, so we are waiting to see if there are any problems with that. It could be rescheduled, but it was submitted to the DET. I will make a presentation on the San Joe myth in Missouri on the civil roads on Thursday. I will be there Wednesday and Thursday this Saturday. Thursday morning. Did you see San Joe in Missouri? The myth brings together Missouri, Iowa, Nebraska and Kansas with the LTAAP. It is essentially composed of engineers from the local training assistance program. I am also part of the organization committee of the MIT. I must therefore join the intervening. Someone gave up, so I volunteered.

10:44Speaker 3

This will be my activity of the day.

10:47 – 13:46Speaker 4

I was here last night to say that we were going to apply perméasim on Eastman. It had to start yesterday. Obviously, with time, we had to postpone. Next week, one of our counterparts will be at the conference on roads. We will report this in two weeks. We are aiming for the 28th. Of course, it will also depend on the weather. We will see what will happen. For the V-Roads, we had a request to carry out a speed analysis. I will present our conclusions next week on this subject. We collected data with the speed radar, examined various other elements. J'ai rassemblé le tout dans un rapport que je pourrais vous envoyer, donc je devrais l'avoir prêt pour vous la semaine prochaine. Je voulais évoquer à nouveau la question soulevée par une autre personne, de l'épandage de gravier sur une route locale de niveau B. J'aimerais connaître vos avis là-dessus. Notre ordonnance stipule qu'en fin de compte, la décision au Conseil, où ils ont la pleine autorité sur les routes de niveau B, and we must also obtain the life of a lawyer. If a landowner wants to pay himself for gravel on a road level B, my recommendation, if we had to do it, would be not to modify the classification of the road. It remains a level B road. Because if we pass it to level A, we are obviously going to have to maintain it at a higher level of service. The weeds, the pines, a more frequent leveling and the snowing. Level B involves minimal maintenance. It is much more reduced. However, some people always want, they already live on a gravel road or on the ground. They want gravel, commercial water services, that kind of thing. I can therefore understand the two points of view. I don't want to open the panda box. I think that if people buy less expensive land on a small road, that they cover it with stones. This encourages people to settle in, while we will not receive adequate maintenance. So I think that this could raise some problems. I think that the three of us could define how to manage this in the future, put it in writing or do our politics in order to be consistent with everyone, because I don't think we should encourage Les gens à s'installer sur ces toutes petites routes. Mais je comprends le besoin de ceux qui vivent déjà d'avoir un accès un peu meilleur. Surtout s'ils paient pour cela, peut-être pouvons-nous faire quelque chose avec eux. Même s'ils mettent des cailloux sur la route, cela ne signifie pas que nous viendrons en rajouter s'ils commencent à se raréfier.

13:48Speaker 3

C'est au propriétaire terrien de voir s'il ne veut pas en remettre.

13:50Speaker 4

Eh bien, cela redeviendra de la terre avec le temps. I think this is what happened on a few roads in the county, in the past. The pebbles ended up disappearing.

13:59Speaker 2

It's them who are calling me now.

14:02 – 14:53Speaker 4

I'm going to put pebbles on the road. I'm looking for a bit of orientation on the subject. I think you should receive an email and we will answer you individually. Also include the county prosecutor's office. And we will collaborate on the next step. That's all I had for the general discussion, so... Oh, one last thing. Elman Road, where there was a request to clear trees to improve visibility. According to what we see on Beacon, the state has all its land on 700, almost 800 feet, since highway 34. We therefore contact the representatives of the Ministry of Transport to simply confirm with them. Is there an agreement that we are not aware of?

14:54Speaker 3

l'état de la situation.

14:56 – 15:15Speaker 4

Nous examinons donc la question, mais d'après Beacon, cela appartient en réalité à l'État. Et donc, je ne pense pas que vous auriez à... Il possède une grande partie de l'emprise là-bas, en descente des deux côtés de la 34. Donc ce n'est peut-être pas le 320. Est-ce pour cela que... Il doit avoir un genre de plan ?

15:25 – 17:37Speaker 2

Well, as long as Jacob is there, we had a cartographic meeting last week. I have been there for more than 20 years and we are still coming back to the same process for the distribution of money, except that now we will have a point system. Correct me if I'm wrong, David, but it belongs to the members to take all the candidates and make them circulate. to write them down according to the points of the program. You know, what drives us is the size of the county. You have Mills, Shelby, which is quite close to us, and Harrison, but you also have Potawatomi. And we get a total of about 1.1 or 1.2 million. Yes, so 1.2 million dollars to be distributed over four counties. And let me tell you, four counties and the cities inside. So? So, what you can do, and why we fought so hard for $300,000, we can't understand. I think Mathieu is looking for something to say. Well, we did this, and the other supervisors I talked to told me, what was wrong with the old program, or... If the county of Mills didn't have enough money, one of the other counties would say, well, we're going to lend you this, as soon as you give it back later. That is to say, it worked very well for us. It worked very well for years, and then the DOT came and said, you shouldn't really do that. Well, it's not our fault if we start a project and we have a price increase or other, and they're supposed to pay for it. You know where the money comes from. They don't like to wait a year, but the process will be interesting. They are supposed to start in the spring of this year.

17:39 – 17:50Speaker 3

The call for candidates is in October, then they will be due in January. And vote in the spring, yes. So it was a very interesting meeting.

17:50Speaker 2

And you know, the pharmacist next to me said,

17:54 – 18:05Speaker 3

We would really like to finish our street there. I said, well, a lot of people would like to see it done, but they are supposed to continue on Locust. And they use it, I don't know.

18:05Speaker 2

They don't really get our money, it's money to rent to the city, don't they? Well, at the time, there was no more equity.

18:15 – 18:27Speaker 4

So the county of Mills got this amount, Shelby, Potawatomi, Harrison. And so our share for Mills, yes, they took it. Yes, it goes back to when I worked with Brian Fellows on this.

18:27Speaker 3

Hey, I have a project, but you know, I see that it makes sense.

18:37Speaker 4

Go ahead, present yours and I will present mine in the following years.

18:48 – 19:02Speaker 1

I think I remember the agreement or the end of the two or three years of service under Locust Street, the south side, one. So, and I thought you were going to work with Whispery Meadows on that.

19:02 – 19:20Speaker 4

So I don't know. It's ironic that the DO told you, oh, you can't do this activity thing. Well, that's what happened to Alan. But I know other engineers from Comté in different RPAs. How do you do that? Oh, equity. We have each one of us. Eh bien, je ne comprends pas pourquoi nous compliquons les choses.

19:23Speaker 2

Mais 300 zéros, je veux dire.

19:25 – 20:11Speaker 4

Tout ça à la fin. Ce n'est pas grand-chose. Si vous avez un projet à 3 millions de dollars et cet argent de la RPA, vous obtenez un quart de million de dollars. Oui, c'est un quart de million de dollars, mais ensuite, vous allez fédéraliser tout votre projet. And so you have a federal project and it costs more because entrepreneurs have to pay their employees more and they have to overcome many more obstacles. And the design costs more. So in reality, you probably increase the cost of your project almost to the amount you receive. So you really don't want to get federal funds unless you get something that is close to a million dollars for the project, for the project. A lot of things to take into account in the end. There's not much we can do.

20:12 – 20:28Speaker 2

But I was just thinking that you should know what they are trying, what they are going to impose on us, and I don't know. You know, in terms of work or how you are going to do anything with 300.00, it's a good question.

20:30Speaker 3

And the new director, they have a new director in 2024. Some change every six months. They changed them.

20:36 – 20:52Speaker 2

Yeah, the guy who did everything. Travis Hodge. The first guy I worked with, we spent 11 years with him. He had, he had, my boy, that's how it happened. We were doing loan exchanges and...

20:53Speaker 3

He was a good boss.

20:55Speaker 2

He was a very good boss, then he ended up being quite old to pay his pension and be retired. And that's where we are.

21:05 – 21:23Speaker 4

Because when you don't have clean funds, what happens is that each county fights for a project of 3 million dollars. You only have 3 million dollars. And then you're supposed to do this jubilee system. Well, I'm going to vote for the county of Middlesbrough. He's going to vote for the county of Pocard. You'll see how it goes.

21:23Speaker 2

Do you have anything else? Of course.

21:32 – 21:51Speaker 4

Very good. Enjoy the rest of the day. You're not the next one. I don't want to do anything today. C'est juste que vous ne voulez pas que quelqu'un vous regarde. Bloquez la vue.

21:52Speaker 1

On ne peut pas avoir de secret là-dedans.

21:55Speaker 4

Je ne veux rien faire.

21:56Speaker 1

Vous n'êtes plus le prochain. Oui, c'est Scott. Vous êtes plus que bienvenu.

21:59Speaker 4

Vous êtes plus que bienvenu pour rester ici. Juste m'asseoir. Beaucoup de déplacements.

22:05Speaker 1

Est-ce que je peux prendre le procès-papel, Paul?

22:08Speaker 4

Ce n'est pas moi qui ai trouvé le mot.

22:12Speaker 2

Adjoint Scott avec.

22:14Speaker 4

Mettez vos bottes, mon vieux.

22:21Speaker 2

Specialist in the environment examines a formal action concerning the agreement 28E with the delivery of private sewage permits.

22:27 – 22:38Speaker 4

I think it's every five or six years that you have to do that. Before, only the council had to sign. They changed the label.

22:39Speaker 3

Any votes? I propose to approve the agreement 28E with the DNR for the delivery of private sewage permits.

22:46Speaker 4

I support this motion.

22:53 – 23:04Speaker 2

A motion has been made and supported to sign the 28-hour agreement with the DNR for the delivery authority of a private toilet permit to someone who has concerns, questions.

23:05Speaker 4

Something on which... Fascinating.

23:12Speaker 3

Well, how do we start with the next agreement?

23:15Speaker 4

So, all those who are for... Good.

23:21Speaker 2

The motion is adopted.

23:23Speaker 3

You need to sign that, my friend.

23:24Speaker 4

Just say Crouch. Yes, that's it.

23:29Speaker 3

I'm going to sign two at once. Why did I say thank you?

23:34 – 23:46Speaker 2

I'm going to put the other one up there.

23:46Speaker 4

Go on this one.

23:47Speaker 3

I didn't know it was Richard. That's right. Let me sign this. You can have a copy of this file.

23:53Speaker 1

I have to send it to the NRCS.

23:56Speaker 3

Thank you, sir. Sir Evans, I would just like to intervene. You're just going to go over me? No, I won't.

24:05Speaker 1

No, I won't.

24:06Speaker 3

You're going to sit down.

24:07Speaker 1

I'm not going to sit down. You're very low in the hierarchy. I like their pants. Oh, they have to stay low.

24:13Speaker 4

Have you heard Jeff's motion? You are at the end of the meeting. I missed this part.

24:19Speaker 1

You arrived during the session.

24:23 – 24:35Speaker 3

It was on the same day as last week, and Patrick asked if it was moved this week. It's about buying a vehicle router. So it's a router for our police vehicles.

24:38Speaker 4

Realboard router, bought at Neskid Solutions.

24:42 – 24:58Speaker 3

The price is 2,795 euros. Industrial Networking Solutions.

24:58Speaker 4

It was panic.

25:04Speaker 3

I file a motion to approve the purchase of a vehicle router from Industrial Networking Solutions for 2,794,49 $.

25:16 – 25:30Speaker 2

Motion fait et appuyé pour approuver l'achat d'un routeur de véhicule pour le bureau du shérif à 2-7-7-9-14-1-49-1. D'autres questions ? Est-ce un remplacement ?

25:30 – 26:06Speaker 3

C'est un véhicule, si. C'est dans les anciens véhicules. C'est pour nos pièces de rechange. Donc, nous récupérons des pièces après ça. Habituellement, nous n'en avons pas. Yes, it's the one you know. Do we get another one? If you have two cards that go... They're not those ones.

26:06Speaker 4

They're replacements.

26:07Speaker 3

I didn't do anything.

26:13Speaker 4

Any other questions or concerns? All those who are poor? Poor.

26:18Speaker 2

Approved. Yes, Jeannot. Well, Mr. Sheriff. Thank you, Patrick.

26:24 – 27:44Speaker 3

No, I just wanted to give you a brief update. We are still waiting for the final insurance fee. The electric part that I told you about last week, during the torrential rains, led to an accident with a return. One of our agents did aquaplaning, ended up in a ditch and caused a good amount of damage to this vehicle. Our initial estimate is that 114% of the value of the vehicle is a total loss. According to my terms, it will most likely be declared a loss. Let's show this to the insurance company so that they can intervene. They will declare the total loss, but it seems quite likely. So for now, our replacement vehicle is in the process of being updated. One of the old vehicles of Patrigon, the Patrouille-Rouge. It will be ready, they will install it. The car will be parked for the moment until we understand what is happening with the insurance and this rental car. According to the value, they come back quite quickly to ask for another one. We ordered two weeks ago.

27:44Speaker 4

I did not have a new VW.

27:46Speaker 3

What is the P8 pack? Do you have a V6 rental pack? They have a lot there. Not necessarily.

27:57 – 28:57Speaker 3

And after all that, the question is to know if it's better than a V6. But it's a bit of whatever. I don't even know if it was sent. So, very good. They're all premature for a few days. So much the better, no one before them works. So it's a good thing. We need reinforcements too. But yes, it was the thrill of their lives. They are not very old. Yes, it was quite intense. I'm happy that everything ended well, as we thought. That's all I have. La dernière fois, l'année dernière, l'accident. Combien de temps nous a-t-il fallu pour recevoir le chèque de l'assurance?

29:00Speaker 4

C'est généralement une question de quelques semaines.

29:03 – 29:31Speaker 3

Oui, nous l'obtenons généralement tout de suite auprès d'un atelier local. Je ne sais pas si je peux dire son nom de famille pour l'instant. Il a fait l'estimation initiale. Il faut généralement une semaine environ. so that the insurance company can do it. Next week, we will have it. We will have the exact amount. They give us that right away, but what we need is to have the document in hand, the cheque in hand, the cheque in hand.

29:33 – 29:59Speaker 1

And you? We just ordered the other cars, so you haven't really used your budget for them yet. And what are we going to do? I have to make a budgetary amendment anyway. So I'm just going to put it in a little later. I have my money. We thought we were going to pay more during the last fiscal year, but it hasn't reached us yet, so I have to increase the amounts we're going to spend there. That's about what we think. So I might have a budget amendment by next week. Excellent. It depends on you.

30:00 – 30:35Speaker 3

And this figure should? If the amount proposed by the carpentry workshop that Jeff calculated for us is exact, we should have a little money on the side, thanks to a compensation request for Gael on this car that we don't have yet. brought to the workshop. These are expensive cars. There is therefore a lot of money on the account. Maybe with both of us, we are very close to buying a new car. So ideally, if there is a budget revenue stock, there will be almost these amounts. It's possible.

30:36Speaker 1

Well, I was for the revenues too. So it should be largely.

30:40 – 30:52Speaker 3

No problem. We are working on this camera at the moment. I hope to get some fresh air. By next week, it would be great to have some. I would like to do it. Thank you.

30:52Speaker 1

Okay, I'm starting.

31:03Speaker 2

I hate doing this in front of the camera.

31:09 – 31:23Speaker 3

People are going to make screenshots everywhere. Examen pour action des révisions de la politique de congés généraux, 1.

31:23 – 31:45Speaker 1

Donc Ben Bridges est d'ici de la santé publique et ils peuvent aider avec ça. Révisions de la politique de congés généraux. Je l'ai envoyé au bureau du procureur du comté et ils ont donné leur accord. Ma seule pensée, j'y ai réfléchi l'année dernière. J'ai probablement besoin d'une résolution d'espace. Mais nous pouvons, pouvez-vous approuver les changements ici présents ? Aujourd'hui, j'ai juste préparé la résolution et ils nous seront prêts pour la semaine prochaine.

31:45Speaker 4

Donc je dois probablement ajouter une résolution pour être sûre.

31:48 – 32:06Speaker 1

And I spoke to Georgiane and Scott and they said to leave the donation to 1200. And I think I'm just going to indicate it in the current policy, if it's not already done. I said that by returning to this old resolution, we will simply press.

32:10Speaker 2

I propose to approve the revisions of the general aid.

32:13Speaker 3

I press the motion.

32:23Speaker 2

Nous avons une motion faite et appuyée pour approuver les révisions de la politique de secours générale.

32:29Speaker 4

Pour la semaine prochaine, n'est-ce pas ?

32:31Speaker 1

Nous aurons la résolution pour officialiser cela. Et elle sera effective à ce moment-là.

32:37Speaker 4

D'autres questions ?

32:40Speaker 2

Tous ceux qui sont pour ?

32:43Speaker 4

Non. La motion est adoptée.

32:45Speaker 1

Je vais vous envoyer une copie de la résolution pour que vous l'ayez. And you don't have to be here next time if you don't want to. Go on, I'll sign it as a donation.

32:53Speaker 4

That's what we want.

32:54Speaker 1

We'll see how long it will take.

32:58Speaker 1

Thank you. And I also have... We had another...

33:03Speaker 4

If you want a beignet, take it. Very good. Be careful.

33:07 – 33:20Speaker 1

Another software problem that... It's not working. Uncredited. It was actually for an old fighter, invalid at 100%.

33:23Speaker 4

So there, I don't really know why it didn't appear.

33:27 – 33:40Speaker 1

By passing these lines one by one, we must make sure to include them. So, in short, I'm going to ask you for approval to deduct these taxes. Not really deduct, but simply apply these credits.

33:51Speaker 3

You have to wash your stuff.

33:53Speaker 1

It's on the 3rd. Like this thing.

33:58 – 34:12Speaker 3

Oh yes, yes. I propose to approve the credit application for the adjustment audit certificate for the number of indicated plots.

34:12 – 34:35Speaker 2

Good choice. I press this motion. The motion has been presented and supported to approve adjustments to the number of plots in order to apply the credit of the number of plots, being subject to the verbal trial.

34:37Speaker 4

Other discussions?

34:39Speaker 3

All those who are opposed?

34:44Speaker 3

The motion is adopted.

34:45Speaker 4

The next point in the order of the day concerns the amendment.

34:50 – 36:00Speaker 2

The meetings of the committee of supervisors. At 4 p.m. this week, we had an emergency management meeting and we... We talked a lot about the equipment level. So, you know where the money will come from. And we think we're far from it. On... What asks us... You know... It's incredible. I didn't think we had this equipment for so long. You know, we're talking about 12 to 15 years old and the biggest problem is that they stopped making the parts. It's their way of pushing you to the source. And you can't. They're just going to stop making parts or they'll be unavailable. You can't go from tower A to tower B or from B to C or D or whatever you go. They did that in advance. They have configured everything so that you can not change the parts, so that it works. Then I had another meeting with the emergency medical services.

36:00Speaker 4

Central service.

36:05 – 36:42Speaker 2

We will probably add some additional public meetings for the PLND, maybe on the process and things to do before going to the vote. And then the last meeting I had in the week about the old fighters. We have more and more veterans who show up. They end up understanding where the building is and they really appreciate it. We now have new panels on the doors to better guide them. That's all I have.

36:44Speaker 3

When you talk about hunger for emergency services, Are you going to have a meeting in January or February?

36:51 – 37:04Speaker 2

Because they will have one, yes. Yes, we will. We will push it, at the very least, you know. Let's keep good hope that, you know, it will be adopted in March.

37:09 – 37:30Speaker 4

The only thing I had was last week. Because I had a public health meeting last night. He was... Determined regarding public health alignment, a large part of the relief of the BEDS grant will be devoted to the alignment process as well as the restructuring of the region.

37:31 – 37:47Speaker 3

Amanda Blackman from public health, who manages the BEDS grant, has free time. So we are considering that she can devote a day a week, 8 hours, to learning the work of environmental health

37:48Speaker 4

I attended a good meeting on legislative policy with the ISEC.

38:19 – 38:33Speaker 3

I had a quick update concerning juvenile detention because we had an accident related to our building over there.

38:33 – 38:46Speaker 2

So, the occupant. Okay, for the new cases, I hope to see how your time job is charged.

38:47Speaker 4

We'll talk about the registration of this fuel truck, on the day of next week.

38:49 – 39:00Speaker 2

I appreciate the time you've given us. You're welcome. Thank you. That's all I have, sir.

39:00Speaker 3

I have two points for the new cases. Have we received any news from the Committee of Faith? Who was in contact with you, Richard?

39:10 – 40:01Speaker 2

Well, I tried to call Mary Bolton, and I left a lot of messages. without knowing if they received a... I was at the office and there was no one, no one there who wanted to talk to me about the fair. You know, so I guess you'll have to land. So, the meeting of the Board of Directors, when it takes place, they will put me at the door or what, but you know, the main thing is that they present their budget to us before you hold your budget meetings next year. And then, you know, I think we need a little more clarification on certain points when we examine their budget lines. How did you do that? How much money did you have to do that?

40:02Speaker 4

And then you don't show it.

40:04 – 40:20Speaker 2

Where is it? I talked to the state auditors and they said, we don't usually take it. You know, we leave private companies. to examine these things. So it was a difficult battle.

40:24 – 41:27Speaker 3

We've been trying to contact him for a week now to spend the night. And then the only other thing I know is that he was brought to my attention that there is a kind of procedure with MGMU according to which the people assigned to GMU at a certain distance outside the limits of the city must sign a voluntary annexion agreement. If they join or if they use the service? If they use the service. My only question is that I went to talk to Lisa, in fact, at the office. I am the prosecutor of the county of Magdiana. May I call? Dave Malcolm. I called Dave Malcon. Can we get the two mile agreement from GMU? They said that at some point, GMU and the city worked with the county to find a two mile agreement. There was a two mile agreement.

41:31 – 41:50Speaker 3

Yes, it was one because we don't have water. Every two miles. It could have been two miles. But if you are at the foot of a water service, you get a two mile agreement. We can just have these documents, since we are talking about Omnicry. I would appreciate that. Yes.

41:52Speaker 4

That's all I had.

41:56 – 42:29Speaker 2

Well, I attended the ice cream party at the Silver City library. Let's say that half a dozen people from the library's board of directors came to thank me and the county for the amount of money they invested in the library there. They really appreciate it. Some people say, you know, yes, they call us babysitters from Silver City, but they say, what would we do with children without that? So, you know, they have rules and special regulations that follow. The bus deposits them, all the children arrive.

42:29Speaker 4

They have to sit down, do their homework, finish them, put them in charge, you know.

42:34Speaker 2

And then they can play on computers, borrow books or that kind of thing.

42:41 – 43:03Speaker 2

So the money we give them is a good cause, because it prevents children from making babies. As is the case in other counties, you know, like Emerson, the children who frequent this one, there, Tabord and all the others. I find that it is a good use of the money of the contributors.

43:03Speaker 3

Is the ice cream good?

43:05 – 44:14Speaker 2

Well, for the vanilla, I like it. The homemade ice cream, this one looked more like it. When they served it, it wasn't creamy or anything, you know, so I put it on top of the chocolate. It's pretty good. That's all they had. They had desserts with an African aspect. One of them was a cake with cream. There was a lemon glaze and a lemon filling inside. But they had a wonderful participation. They had about fifty sponsors from the county of Monroe, you know. And there were a lot of people from Glenwood, the companies here who put money for free gifts and things for people, you know. And so it was a good fundraising. We had a lot of fun.

44:17Speaker 3

There are no other cases. New. I propose to update the session at 8 p.m. Support.

44:26Speaker 2

Motion made and supported to update at 8.52 p.m. All those who are poor say aye.

44:35Speaker 4

Is one of you coming to the meeting tonight? You should wait.

44:38Speaker 2

I plan to go there.
