“The only thing we had was a special chamber meeting last week and I think everyone knows that we had offered the job to our General Perry Wiggins and he accepted. So I think he'll be good for at least getting us through the end of the year and hopefully a little longer depending on what the city does.”
“I sexually early for money. It ain't working that early.”
“I dropped the trailer off at 6.30 this morning on its way to work.”
“So what about other department heads that aren't?”
“So why wasn't this brought up in the budget?”
“Yeah, but it wasn't brought to our attention that I recall. About us.”
“There's not enough in our budget. I think there is. We'd have to amend the budget.”
“It's just the line item. It's not the overall budget.”
“So we'll be hauling some rock and I'm just glad to see you guys inspecting the roads Friday. I think it was Friday morning.”
“So some of the farmers that use their big semi-trailers and shuttle water for you, that don't count?”
“Some of that could have had something to do with the step.”
“Well, I think you just continually keep trying to work at it. You're not going to get everything overnight, but over time. And you don't want to get behind. but you can't get parts for them that are obsolete.”
“Well, of course, at that time, I didn't know.”
“I guess if they don't have a seat for me, I'll go home. Okay.”

“They're running about 800 rounds a month. So in September, just the first two weeks alone in September, they had 840. Let's see what else was there. Okay, so that ties into our audit. Our audit's usually cheap because it's not over $500,000. However, because the federal government pays the state And then the state reimburses MPO for this Lyft ride service to the to Fort Riley. Now we're going to be over 500,000 and so probably the fees will definitely go up so. Other than that, financially we're looking good. We had a good meeting, but. There was a lot of people. We always have a KDOT…”
“Well, I think part of that too is. You know, we just weren't getting. the right information.”
“You only knew what you were told and knew our whole truth.”
“Well, I think another confusing Part of that puzzle is that people say, well, why are you giving money to the chamber? And I don't know how you get that through that message, but we don't support them. They're membership driven. Oh, did we want to amend the agenda?”
“Oh yeah, I'll make a motion to renew our membership. Thank you.”
