“Well, I'm with Commissioner Powell. I'm very disappointed. I remember all of this, this whole conversation, and I agree. I know you all tried to be realistic, and unfortunately, this is realistic, and I'm just disappointed, but yeah, I guess I would have to listen to the experts on this, so thank you.”

“Thank you very much. Thank you for the presentation. Thank you for your work on this. Really appreciate it. And thank you for all the energy around this. And thank you for bringing up Smith. I did not know that the Smith purchase was... born out of this, so that's actually really encouraging. And to Commissioner Griffin, I just loved your comments on we're really good at handling in this community, and I agree. We really are good at meeting. So I'm glad to hear that Smith was part of this, and I'm watching that go by really slowly. I know it's happening, but as you know, and you've gotten my…”

“Thank you, Mr. Chair. I actually do have a report. I just want to give a shout-out to Jenny Harper with our communications department. She did a phenomenal job with my mental health community meeting. She was so patient throughout. I don't think it's really an easy thing to work with an intergovernmental situation, and she did a fantastic job. She was very patient, and she has incredible organizational skills. And thank you also to Chanel Jones, who assisted... particularly that night, and everything went extremely smoothly, and it was all because of them. So that's all. Thank you.”

“Thank you, Mr. Chair. Thank you for being here, Sheriff, and thank all the staff for being here and thank all the staff that can't be here. You guys do have such a hard job. is thankless, and I just want to recognize the work that you do. And like you said, Sheriff, you're overcrowded whether Irena's law was in effect or not. You're overcrowded. So we need to do something. And I just want to start off by saying I support this 100%. We need to do something. People need to get off the floor, so to speak, not really the floor. So I support this. I also have a question about the capacity of Jail…”

“Capacity under 800. Yes. So theoretically... we could use some of that for a juvenile detention center. And I want to thank Arthur Griffin for pretty much teeing up the conversation about what are we going to do about our youth. Let's stop it before it happens.”

“Thank you. And I actually do have a report for the first time in a long time. I have an intergovernmental mental health. Community meeting, September 10th, 6 to 7.30. Doors open at 5.30. It's a beautiful Park Road Park Pavilion. If you haven't been, you guys should come and look at that beautiful space. Yes, there will be refreshments. But it will be with city, county, and CMS.

“Thank you, Mr. Chair. I'm going to be a little unconventional tonight. In honor of the proclamation tonight for equality, Women Equality Day, I've chosen the lyrics from the musical Suffs. And if you haven't seen it, it's about suffragists back in 1916. and the words and lyrics are by Shana Taub. It's a wonderful production if anybody gets the opportunity to see it. This takes place in 1916 and it's a song, so bear with me there, but it's kind of a back and forth. If we were married, I promised to cherish you just as a gentleman should. If we were married, I promised to forfeit my legal…”

“Okay. And how is this, Adrian, you're a math person, mathematically, how does this make sense for if we have to spend $42 million, I take it that goes to the federal government and they want to save money, but they're costing us money. So how is this saving money over the whole thing?”

“So I want people to understand, residents to understand, that when we have to pay this penalty to the federal government, it's going to affect them directly the services that we provide right here. Those are going to be cut. Would you say that's probably about true?”

Can you tell us some of your other projects in the county? Sure.”
