“campaign contributions and I have stayed at the ground before I was commissioner. And while I was a, Board president for the Salem Valley Chamber of Commerce before they opened.”
“Is there a definition of what we would require? A caretaker room or... Anything to that effect? I mean, a lot of this argument hinges on a 149 square foot room, but as far as we care, it doesn't matter how big.”
“And the only other question I had was the replacement, so thank you for touching on that.”
“To clarify what I said earlier about donations from the owners of the ground, I've also received campaign contributions from both friends of Yamhill County and Thousand Friends board members. So I really don't have a dog in this fight at all. I've operated a B&B in the past. It was attached to my house. And everything describing this room was actually very similarly set up in my house. And I have a room in my house today that has a coffee station because I don't want to walk into the other room when I wake up. Um, and as far as, um, the argument of, uh, concierge or a desk, um, you know, I, I…”
“Can I ask a question about that really quick? Yeah. Are we okay if that is after the first of the year? I know that we have a change here, but we only have so many weeks between now and the end of the year. And she's a woman.”
“I forgot all about that part of that today. Um, let me see. I'm going to keep this brief because we have been here for a very long time. Thank you to the sheriff for, um, the invitation and the ride in the, um, parade at McMinnville 150th birthday had a great time I don't know how many times people said that we were locked up what was it we counted maybe up to six I think five six yeah so and two you have a quorum yeah and two we have a quorum so yeah uh public meetings so um but great to ride in the new car I think that uh Sam kept a big um some big plans for those um Really, the only other…”
“Thank you. Waste management reached out and invited us to come to see their new recycle center in Newburgh. Commissioner Starrett and I both attended to that. You'll see these blue connexes that the state has mostly paid for. Nice graphics and what you can place there, different plastics that can't go in your curb recycle bin, but maybe you have more to add to that in a minute, but it was nice to see and it's well done. Got to walk around the fair grounds with Janet Redman and just talk about hopes, dreams, and desires moving forward. I had a touch base with Gustavo, our field rep for the…”
“Are you talking about for the transit specifically? Not the minutes?”
“Okay. Um, I think we, I don't know about the newspaper. I'd have to ask Cynthia, but there's several openings in that committee for a long time at this point.”
“And Brandon's been on the board, sorry to interrupt. Brandon's been on the board for a while and was unanimously, you know, just as chair.”
“advertise widely yeah it is hard to find i agree with you but i mean you did have there was an application from a uh jessica yeah who just came in we haven't had a we haven't had a meeting since that one she just uh emailed this week um”
“Yeah, this one's not Jessica. This is just Brandon, though, so... And yeah, I don't have a problem with it.”
“No, that's not the way I understood that one. Sorry, Ken wants to.”
“And the back story on Brandon and Frank, there was, in my understanding, was general consensus and a vote that Frank would still be on the committee and and have his institutional knowledge of the system. But Brandon spends a lot of time in Salem. And so he would be kind of advocating as chair of that committee for funding during the long session this coming year. So that's why we decided to put Brandon as chair, or why they decided. I don't think I'm a voting member on that one. why they decided to put Brandon as chair instead of Frank. So it was nothing against Frank. And I think Frank…”
“They don't. We have to approve it. No, no.”
“I think it was but I don't have the emails in front of me. I don't But we can table this to another day to double check, make sure that the process was for bylaws until next week. I'd be fine with that.”
“Thank you. Minor short this week, lots of emails and phone calls, but last week of summer. So I spent quite a bit of time with my kids. So thank you. Sure, sir.”
