Yes, sir. You just pass them on down the line there.
in about 10 minutes, so we got to go. Oh, no way. I'm so sorry. It's okay. No, no big deal. I'm, I'm, I'm a, I'm a gracious person right now because I understand it, but we, we are going to have to take a little break before our next meeting. So if you want to wrap it up and then as commissioner, I was going to, yeah, we can, we can help you out.
All right. We are going to break until 10 o'clock. Our work session is over. 10 o'clock commission meeting, Tuesday, September the 15th. Today we have with us Pastor Brent Shaw with First Baptist Church of Fairhope to deliver our invocation. And I will lead us in the Pledge of Allegiance afterwards. Thank you.
Please join me in the pledge of allegiance. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, All right, commissioners, we got, before we get started today, a few cleanup matters that we need to take care of from the work session. If y'all will look, we have three addenda items that can be easily moved over to our consent agenda if you so wish.
All right. So we have moved our addenda GA1 through GA3 to our consent agenda. We will have a presentation by our highway department in a little while as well as what did we decide to do, Frank, with that senior staff report?
I concur. We've done a lot at Blakely to help them out. And this is a chance to help out all citizens of Baldwin county at this intersection that travel through there is definitely a safety. Issued and would be a great great a qualifier and and I think Asked to for this a trip fund to go to that project.
All right. Thank you, Frank, for that. And I will bring back up your item before we get into public hearing. So don't just stand, stay tuned. All right. So commissioners, we need to, and I missed all of this stuff. Did you have a county attorney report? That's always good no no executive sessions neither okay we didn't do commissioner requests but we allowed Matt to steal the spotlight with his presentation so but we'll we'll do commissioner comments later on all right sorry about that I've noticed that we didn't have any time to take a break before the meeting so anyway so commissioner…
Motion and a second to adopt the meeting minutes from September 1st. I'm just thinking about why I chose Skip. For eight years, Skip has always adopted the minutes, so we keep it going. So we got a motion and a second. All those in favor say aye. Aye. Aye. All right, we got our committee reports.
And a motion and a second to pay the bills. Any discussion? Hearing none, all in favor say aye.
second that motion motion in a second to ratify payments as described in policy 8.1 any further discussion all in favor say aye all right next up is our consent agenda please note whoever makes the motion that we've included The three addenda items, GA1 through GA3, as well as our revenue commissioner's salary will need to be stated for the record.
I'll second. We have a motion and a second to adopt our consent agenda with the... attachments that we added. Is that okay? Did we do that right? Any further discussion? Just for the people that did not see our work session portion of the meeting and for the people that are watching this live, we did approve and adopt our budget in that swift motion right there that we're fixing to do. And I Again, we can't state enough how much work goes into preparing a budget for a county this size and to be able to vote on it in like two seconds is crazy to me to even think about the amount of man hours…
Yeah, thank you, Mark. So do you need action right now today on that?
I'll second it. Second. Any discussion? Great project, guys. I'm so glad to see we haven't even got a new program started yet and already got a project going. And this is something that is being part of this commission and going out of this commission in a couple of months. It's very enlightening to see a program in place, like you said, Mark, award-winning from the 30 Cube to probably the new award-winning C3 program that's unlike it. Anything in this entire state, probably in the country, where we're providing services for municipalities to be able to have a chance to form infrastructure…
It might be a good little Facebook commercial or something. C3. Other municipalities. Future award winning, yeah. Only municipalities, not homeowners. All those in favor say aye. Aye. All right. That item F01 is taken care of. Thank you, guys. All right. There are no presentations today that I'm aware of. All right. And so we do have some public hearings today. We've got a few. And I just wanted to give some guidance and wisdom as we go through these public hearings. This is something that the commission is always tasked with and to hear these. And we want to sit up here and do the best job…
Thank you. Selina, any questions for Selina? Selina.
All right, no more questions for Celina. I'm gonna open the public hearing. Is there anybody signed up to speak on behalf of this project? Mayor Bass.
This how many, how many more, two more, or before, before we get any further with this case and for all cases that are being talked about rezoning today, a lot of people are jumping the gun on what a rezoning case is. We're this commission is tasked with changing the use of the land. We do not build subdivisions. We do not approve subdivisions. This county commission has nothing to do with the subdivision process. That's up to our planning and zoning board that does it on first Thursday nights of the month. So if we approve a rezoning request, that don't mean any houses are going to be built…
So thanks for speaking on behalf of neighbor against it.
Thank you. Thanks, Jessica. All right, anybody else? I'll let it go. Come on up to back to the microphone.
Mayor, if we were talking about access today, I would be worried about that, but I'm not Selena come back up here and I wanted to tell you something just as a staff member of this county commission, I appreciate what y'all do and y'all's. Way of doing things has kind of been denounced today in a public meeting and that's that's that's opinions and that's fine but I want to personally reach out to y'all and thank you for what you do your scar scorecard system is is what we use and it and and it went from where it went from where it went because the the applicant did what they were asked to do…
All right. I'm gonna close this public hearing and I'm gonna ask the commission for a vote.
Got a motion and a second to approve case Z25 slash 53. Any further discussion?
To approve this case hearing no further discussion, all those in favor signify by saying aye. Aye. So we got three eyes and a no. Okay.
Any questions for Selina? Public hearing is open on KC25-62, Morgan Property Rezoning. Anybody signed up? Jessica McDeal.
Didn't you already do something with this? Was it presented as a RSF?
