“Correct. There was one more amendment I'd like to make. You were a little quick on the draw. Nobody else could get a word out. I can't hear you. I'd like to remove item eight from the agenda. Commissioner Turner had some things he wanted to discuss with us, and since he can't be here, I wanted to possibly remove that. It's a consideration of bid award for janitorial services.”

“I wanted to amend the agenda, but you made a motion. You want to move the first reading of the Parks and Rec from the agenda? No, number eight, consideration of bid award for janitorial services contract.”

“I had a couple. So the RFP going to market for the North River Gilman property. Right. Was there any kind of criteria? I know sometimes you see when bids go out, we have benchmarks we'd like people to incorporate in their proposals or...”

“So in a perfect world, we're looking for like a Whole Foods with some condominiums on the top and a parking area? Yeah.”

“On the... Does anybody else have any other questions before I just keep going on? I don't want to be rude. On the Georgia-Florida Sports Park, for the $3 million versus $7 million, $3 million for utility improvements, $7 million going towards the construction of the fields, who will ultimately end up owning the fields?”

“Can we ask questions? Yes, sir. You said when discussing this particular item that the board had previously approved it with those conditions originally, the 20-foot buffer and the solid wood fence.”
Board of County Commissioners · Sep 1, 2026
- Play at 1:28:29
“What was the reasoning behind those being the conditions then? I mean, not necessarily the setback, but the wood fence. It's a noise issue, right?”
Board of County Commissioners · Sep 1, 2026
- Play at 1:29:07
“Okay, and that's the homeowner, that's the people that live where you just read the comment from, correct? Yes. And they would prefer to keep it solid wood versus metal?”

“Is that better, Jim? Thank you. Okay, so I had some questions about some of the verbiage here. So on the first page under authorized representative, it says Cannon County Sheriff Department. Legally, the sheriff's office is a constitutional office, so I want to make sure we correct that from department to office. Okay. Okay. Um, it says that those authorized representatives will be assigned in writing. Um, and I was just wondering where we're going to be keeping a list of authorized representatives. So like if I'm at a park enjoying myself and someone approaches me and says that they are, I'm…”
