“Mr. Chairman. Yes, Commissioner Green. So I did hear that there were some penalties for, I guess, some of the lateness or the over expenditures. Do we have the penalties amount or the consequences for these penalties or these findings?”

“Commissioner Green. They are vehicles, so I guess my question or concern would have been, is it an equal or is it really a savings overall? I hear the $62,000, but will we pay for that in the long run with maintenance and other fees and other costs from the equipment or the vehicles that... we will be utilizing going forward? I mean, I hear the 62,000, but at the same time, is there a need or is there not a need for these vehicles?”

“Yeah, I saw that, but I guess that's the area of expertise. I just hope that in the long run that it does not come back. But the other vehicles that are older vehicles, I hope they don't come back and cost us more money having to do repairs on them. Thank you.”

“Did we ever, I know we voted the last meeting on the necessary paperwork for the prefabrication of the Joe Adams Public Safety Complex. Did we ever get that appropriate paperwork submitted over to AJAX? Because last I checked, it had not been.”

“All right. Thank you. Because a few days ago, it wasn't. And I did ask, and I haven't gotten the answer back from anyone. So thank you.”

“Very similar question. I also was aware, I'm sure we all were aware of the ban, but I didn't know if there was any other solutions that had any conversations that any of you have heard of as it relates to replacing those. I know Commissioner Wood is still kind of key in on public safety stuff with this experience and expertise and connections. So I wasn't sure if there was any other objectives or options in conversation in the future because there were pros as well as, I guess, more cons than pros, but there was some pros to having those cameras. So have anybody heard of anything…”

“Anyway, let's go. Commissioner Green? Unfortunately, I guess we have to move with it. And there's nothing we really can do about not supporting it. Unfortunately, there is no solution of replacing it at this point. But it's one of those things that we pretty much have to move forward with it. But thank you.”

“Question. Yes, sir. What is, because it's not in front of me at the moment, what would be the cost, the dollar amount, what other options do we have I know that there is some land on Strong Road again that we own. Have we taken those other land options into consideration as well? Not that I'm opposed of this. This would be great. I'm just asking for as much detail as you possibly have. And have we considered other land properties that we own? And one of the reasons I did say Strong Road is because you still, you're not far from the emergency center that we have. The senior facilities still…”

“Well, you just gave us one option and want us to make a decision from one option.”

“Sure. So let me state again, I think that that would be a great option to consider. that that that facility or that property next to hardy's that i'm very well familiar with but i of course i don't know how much land it is i know the building but i don't see much land opportunity where that building is um so i think that it needs to be a little bit more information given to us and my suggestion again as i just suggested would be to try to utilize um land that we may already own or have a few other options to consider but thank you”

“I have to, I'm sorry. Thank you. I have to totally agree because I feel like there's so many other projects and so many things that we need to consider working on. And we do need to solidify, rectify some of the issues that we have as boards and so that we can all kind of get on the same page with the same vision. And I don't want to keep... I want to be clear on how I say it. I want to make sure that we don't continue to go back and forth or tit for tat. I don't know what the issue is over there, the issue is over here, but we do need to come. And I totally agree with Commissioner Simpkins…”

“Thank you. And I'm not going to go down that road, but I do. I'm not going to be redundant, but I do concur with the conversations as of in relation to having a better relationship with city of Quincy and all our municipalities. But let me start with, I want to go back to our last meeting, a couple of things in the last meeting that I did ask for. One of the things is I did ask, I know I can't, well, I should be able to tell the administrator what to do as a boss, but I did ask and plead that there were no more layoffs until we saw a plan or we saw the list and lo and behold, there was a…”

“Commissioner, that's fine. Again, that was a simple no.”

“And I guess my reason, again, for asking is because, again, I try to put myself in the shoes of whomever before I address issues or things of that nature. Had I been in the shoes, once again, of the administrator, the interim administrator, I would have listened to the board member or respected that board member's request openly that, hey, let me have a talk with him, let him know why I'm getting ready to do this. So I just kind of felt... under my, you know, my own, myself, that maybe others were aware and they knew and they were okay with it. And because nobody is asking him to stop the…”

“OK. For the attorney ordinance on selling property, I think we talked about that. I'm not sure where we are on that. Can you give a quick update?”

“Okay. And my last thing is I actually made a motion in the last meeting. Again, that's what makes me feel like my voice is not valid. I made a motion in the last meeting as it relates to where are we or can we have a workshop with the workshop date so that we can have permanent leadership in this county via county administrator and our legal services. Did not ask that we make a vote. You know, now I ask that we started the process. So I guess to, again, I know that I have no authority and probably won't be granted the authority to speak to HR. So I asked the county interim administrator,…”

“Where are we as it relates to solidifying a workshop so that we can make sure that all of us are on the same page? Yes. No, we won't take a vote, but we are having a conversation. HR can simply come back, bring the things that we already talked about. If we need to make some changes, we should be able to do those things. But we need to have something in place so that we can go from interim to permanent. sooner than later. It may be at the end of the year, maybe at the top of the year. That's fine with me. Where is the process? Where is the workshop? Mr. Chairman, how can we handle that?”

“Thank you. And knowing that, we know when the budget is due. So we still can say we can go ahead and plan a workshop for October, and I'm just throwing out a date, October the 23rd or November 2nd. I want a date. It's simple. Just a date. And it can be after budget. Where is the date?”

“Commissioner Simpkins, on point with that. Mr. Chairman, I'm glad you mentioned the tourist development because I did have a, and that's great. So who are we even contacting or reaching out to now as it relates to the tourist development? Because there were some, a project I think is the Bass Tournament that's coming up. They always try to pre-plan and one of the individuals who represent that reached out to me because We know that we no longer have TJ. We no longer have Laurel. And both of those individuals are very key with projects as it relates to TDC. So I'm asking the interim…”
