“All right. Moving on. The next item is Board of Supervisors. I apologize. Would it be possible to move item 6 to next? I have a hard stop at 11. Oh, sure. So we'll move that. Discussion of possible motion to give direction regarding possible fiscal 27 budget amendment. I put this on here because we talked about this. We briefly mentioned it at a previous meeting. I can't remember which one. But I know we're kind of And it stands still in some areas.”

“that we're okay on, because I don't want to... We're not over yet. Extend more than we appropriate. Agreed, agreed. It's within the same department. This is in the same service area. So we're good. And I do know what you're speaking of. Okay. So I just want to make sure we stay on top of that because the last thing I want is... I have. Okay. Absolutely. All right. So would you be opposed to... Are you comfortable having this as a standing, or do you want to just kind of bring it? Absolutely, that's not a problem.”

“I think that we do need to follow policy where they get one warning. And then if they do it again, have them removed. And if they're a perpetual lender, then trespass. I think we need to have that.”

“they understand the next time that they interrupt and cause these disruptions formal trespass orders will be brought forward and we'll have a vote on it we can't we can't function like this we have no option as a board and i understand that people disagree and they are they are free to disagree however a public meeting is not a public conversation so you are here if you do you want to speak you speak through public comment but the board needs to do their business And we can't do our business if we have people yelling at us from the gallery, if we have people interrupting, if we have folks…”

“Anything else? Otherwise, I will move on to the next agenda item. No, thank you for pulling that up, Sarah. All right. The next one is discussion of possible motion to proceed with engineering review of OPN response. So the last time we talked about this is we had OPN and bridals come out here and look at everything that's going on. And they submitted their opinions and feedback and all that kind of stuff. So the request now is to have Obviously, they disagreed with the inspector's assertion that there is a design flaw in the ramp walls that's causing the efflorescence. In order to respond,…”

“Tuesday the 11th. Unless you want to make the 4th a special, you can do that. It would be the only resolution on there. I look, it's the board's call, but we've been kicking this can down the road. That's just it. Every time, every rain we have, the efflorescence keeps coming back and it's soaking into the stone.”

“We just passed the resolution. The resolution wouldn't be generated. It's okay. All right. Turn it to a special. So let's add, can we add it to the list?”

“Alright, so the next one, we kind of talked about this when Michelle was here about contracted employee hires. We need to, we've been hiring contracted employees and we want to make sure that we're following the correct process to make sure that we don't get dinged in a future if they didn't follow the correct process for contract hires. Because unless they're, the only office under Iowa code that's allowed to do this is the auditor's office. No one else can. So unless the board approves it. And so we want to make sure that if they're not in the auditor's office, we're following the correct…”

“She provides documentation I want to review. And I'm assuming that she did say she talked to elders about it. So I want to make sure that we're following things. And then if anything was amiss, we document it. So if it comes up as a finding, we can explain what happened and move on. Because I don't know if it would be a finding or not. I don't know. So I just wanna make sure. Because normally hires come through to supervisors, they don't come through as a contractor. Because that bypasses the whole approval process. Okay.”

“in essence so we can review further we want to review it further and then well it's not a resolution yeah this is a motion since she provided that documentation i'm going to have a chance to read it over but we should probably nail down that a little bit more because we can't we can't i don't think iowa code allows indefinite contract hires without board approval so we need to nail that down Okay, so I'll leave it to you guys to review that and at the next regular meeting we can discuss it further. Okay. All right, so the next one is discussion cost of motion to give direction regarding the…”

“Well, you got it from the, it was his chief of staff that answered, it wasn't an audit, one of his auditors, which is odd, but okay. I just like to know, because we are responsible for paying bills And I don't want to pay a bill for stuff he did that was outside what his engagement letter was to do. So he was engaged to do the fiscal 23 and 24 audits, not the fiscal 25, not for things outside of the greenhouse. That's what he was engaged with. And I'm a little concerned that we're going to be part of this bill. We're paying for things that we shouldn't. But again, I don't know because we…”

“I'm not saying she didn't. But they said, we've got to be careful. We're not misquoting what it says in the audit. It did not say that. And the reason why we're doing a forensic audit is because all of us are concerned that there might be. And I want to get, there is, I want to make sure we find it. But he said that he could not make a justification based on a mess of the records. And I don't disagree with that.”

“I did follow up with a pile of questions and I've never gotten a response. is that they're just not going to use it anymore. And they're going to come after you to pay for it. And they're going to tell us to pay for it.”

“I think she's right, but that's the case. We'd probably lose that fight, and they would even make it a campaign commercial. Be careful. So, Diane, it's election year. We're all politicians. So I'm not comfortable paying the bill based on some concerns that I have. I've had members of the public that have expressed, why would we pay a bill if he's charging us for stuff that he shouldn't have done? We don't know for sure because we don't have an answer. So I sent questions. They responded. I sent follow-up questions. I've gotten no response. And it's been over a week. It's been over a week,…”

“These answer these, and then if we get no answer, if we get no answer, okay so how about this um i can nudge him again but on tuesday i'd like the board to make a final decision because we cannot keep kicking this guy down the road is that acceptable i don't agree with it don't you don't think we should follow i do not i do not you've been given your answers it's been made very public you weren't given an answer so that's the thing”

“when we've been doing all that stuff for the last five years of audits they've done and they've never cited it as a finding. That's weird to me. So, I mean, I just, I mean, we could have, if they were an issue, we could have been making fixes by now. And that's the thing is, the longer we take, the more problems we're going to have.”

“Especially since last year, they were told they were done. We just need to gather everything and do it next week. Okay. All right. Well, I'm willing to do that. But Tuesday, we need to decide. And that's what I'll explain to my voters, is that we're kind of, to your point, Diane, we really don't have a lot of choice. We can try to get answers, but if we don't,”

“Tuesday, and we'll just, I'll give an update to the board, and then the board will just need to... So we can direct Michelle to, if the board chooses to move forward, we can direct her to get the check cut. Okay. Okay. The next one is, oh, we already went to that one about the fiscal 27. Discussion with possible motion regarding the authorized security cameras. So... I'm sorry, what? Nothing. Okay. So... Kylie made some really good points about confidentiality and stuff like that. So what is going on on Facebook? The confidentiality at Iowa Code, it talks about the network design, all those…”
