“I followed up with Chief Peterson, too. In the total to date, that was 467,840, and he still has a remaining of 47,000 that's available. Okay. And I do know that we're staring at another one.”

“Anytime I come across something like this, I ask myself, what are we trying to fix? And what are we trying to fix here?”

“I just don't understand. I mean, I've been here for 12 years now and then the bar comes in and gets a liquor license that, dog kennel comes in, we have to give them special permission. I just don't see what we missed.”

“I thought they'd have to get the special use permits, all that sort of stuff.”

“But if you move into an existing building... What existing building would there be that...”

“No, exactly, and that's what I see this as. It's another layer of county bureaucracy, which I've always tried to do in my years here is to keep the county government from growing. This seems to be just the opposite. We're growing the county government. We're adding another layer of problems for businesses, and like Delmo mentioned, we're going to have an enforcement problem, you know,”

“Yeah, I'm pretty skeptical about this. The wedding deal, I mean, we found a way that they were violating their existing rules. So I don't see that that's a good example of something that's going to be fixed by this.”

“I thought the fire department got into that. Said there was no regulation.”

“Yeah, I was unsure. Is the match for the 105,000, so it'd be the 210,000? Yep. If awarded, I think so. Yeah.”

“Well, I agree with you, but I think it's our responsibility really to help with this. I mean, most of that traffic is coming over the hill, and those are county residents. And we're going to avoid that problem we had with the 12th Street Bridge a few years ago and be another way around that. I think it's a great idea. It's long overdue. I just shocked at the cost of it, $34,000 for two miles of road. It's unbelievable, but I mean, it is what it is. i do have a question you mentioned about net proceeds and all right not net proceeds if i if i said net proceeds i meant broke i meant i apologize…”

“We're going to come ask them. But we have a realistic chance of it being able to”

“Yeah, that's a good point, Fernando. This is a realistic secondary access. The $100 million one is a pipe dream, in my opinion. It's never going to happen. So at least this is something you can do short term.”

“I don't think we did. Okay. Yes, sir, I am. Yeah, I'll move that we... prepare a resolution authorizing the contribution of $5 million to the city's phase two of their Cork Boulevard and 9th Street construction project, including a funding agreement with the city establishing eligible expenditures, payment terms, reporting requirements, project responsibilities, and return of unused funds.”

“Is this part of the deal? I've got a notification that they're ending our landline. Yep, that's it. Yes.”

“Well, I just agree with you. I'd really like the part where we put our necks on the line. The voters twice rejected the school district's request for funding. And we said, well, I think the voters would be okay with 20 cents. But they're not doing what they did. And we did this resolution to try to get some oversight on what they're doing. And they are thumbing their nose at us. And I kind of like John's approach that I don't necessarily agree with Travis. We haven't come to defend it because they just talk on both sides of their mouth anyhow. We never get anywhere. I really like John's…”

“Commissioner Stanger. All right. Well, I spent last week at the WIR in Canyon City, Colorado, which is a long ways away. I don't know how much you want to hear about that, but one of the things that came up is, remember, we got that LATCF funding. Elko County received $12 million from it. Well, the WIR came up with a plan They're the ones that dogged that funding and finally got it distributed and came up with a formula to distribute it. And when they did, they asked every county receiving that to give 1% back to fund the National Center for Public Lands Counties. Well, unfortunately, and…”
