County Commission - Regular Meeting

For the Republic, it stands as one. Everyone has the right to freedom and justice. Everyone has the right to good health. The first few minutes of our agenda are in acceptance. We have a resolution. We have a resolution. It is a violation of all three. Yes, it is a violation of all three, Ed. Yes. Yes, because we had special meetings. So, we have a suggestion for approval. We have a suggestion and a request to approve for three minutes. Those who agree, say yes. I oppose. The same is the case. The suggestion is passed. Agenda to approve. Brady Ash for Devils Lake I asked Andy to distribute a small pocket budget for the commissioners I gave it to you last week at a special meeting. I would like to clarify some of the doubts about the funding for Mobile Career Exploration 1. At first, it was thought that Mobile Career Exploration 1 was funded from its own budget to Forward Devils. But in reality, it comes from the Jobs Development Authority Fund. Jobs Development Authority is another fund that has been moved to Nagaram Vakshikadistan for financial development purposes. From this budget, one part of the budget is accepted from Forward Devils and the other part is accepted from the sale. The rest is reserved for other institutions, i.e. the Chamber, Heritage Centre, Region Angles and a part of the Regional Workforce Impact Programme. In this case, it is Mobile Career Exploration. So you can see that this is included in the growth fund below RWIP. This should be on the third page or on the second page. This has a $31,000 budget. Because of that, when this funding was first announced, it was required that this be implemented for two years from 2026 to 2027. Because of the cost of $31,000, there was a doubt whether another county could contribute to this. So, we went ahead with the CET Commission and agreed to contribute $31,000 for two years. As I said earlier, this is not a waste of money. But what I meant to say is that this representation comes from the Jobs Development Authority. It is actually a city for devils, not for forward devils. So, this is not a coincidence that it is buying double the money. This is an idea built into the budget of the Jobs Development Authority. I have included the entire budget of MCC in my pocket. This is to help you understand where the money is coming from. To make it clear, what you meant to ask is that the county is not giving money for mobile employment exploration? You called it a van or a unit, but the county is not giving money twice for it. That's right. I think the last time was the same. Aha! No, the man came and asked for Rs. 10,634.32. Then the question was 17,381.87 rupees. Are you buying this money from us? No, no, no. That is the money given by the Jobs Development Authority. Yes, the question was about that 17,000. Okay, the question asked by Jeff, is this the money we give in that 17,000? Are we giving you less than 10,000 per year, or are you giving it back? Is it a loan through the bank? Yes. No, it's only from the fund that has been changed specifically for financial development. So it's clear. That's right. You all agree with that, right? I think that's all Jeff asked. Yes, he didn't want it. Since it was 31,000, you are taking it, right? No. I had made things clear to Commissioner Wilhelm and Commissioner Fitt. I thought it would be better for everyone for the Commission to come forward and make it clear. If you have any questions, you can ask me. I needed to come to Sandy in North Central Planning. If you have any doubts, please repeat. I think everything is clear. Yes. Thank you. Jason. Namaskaram. Let's get straight to the point. Today I have to tell you about Morris Seal Co. They completed all their chip seal projects. There were three sections in it. We did the actual bidding, then added a little more in the third section, and they also completed the cover road. The total cost was $3,54,175.42. This is a fraud in the FOG seal. So, I request the Morris Seal Court to issue a statement. In addition, the Crioll Township and the Poplar Grove Township have issued invoices against the seal code projects. So, How much will it cost? I knew you would ask. I haven't included it here, but they have to pay for the painting. I'll give you the numbers. I'll email it to you. Each of them has a mile fee. So one is about 18,000 and the other is about 12,000. The cover road is 48,000, so that's the limit. So it will be about right. I request the Morris Seal Court to pay $3,54,175.42. Morris Seal Court. We have received a request. We have received a request to pay money to the seal court. Please call the name. Otis. Yes. Brown. Yes. William. Yes. Bulker. Yes. The request has been passed. The next thing I have to say is that we have run out of 36-inch culverts again. So, I need to buy 8 36-inch culverts 20 feet long from True North Steel to replace the Yardley Stoke. That will cost $10,915.20. So, when I get the invoice to accept this order, I need the permission to pay for it. Where is she going? They are coming to Devils Lake and this town as a stocking. They are going everywhere. I don't have enough culverts. I'm getting another order at the bottom. I added that today. Pindangunnu. We got a discount. We got a Pindangunnu to order and pay for the culverts. That's right. $10,915.20 That's right. Please call me by name.

Wilhelm.

Yes. Brown. Yes. Portis. Yes.

Bulkert.

Yes. Pramayam passed. So I'm going to the next one. I don't know if Wayne won it. I sent it to Candy. Then the power window and other things are below. I needed a quote from True North Steel today. I intended to print this and bring it to you. But there will be four 36-inch ones. Then I have taken 10 24-inch ones and bands. So that amount reached $28.37. But they will have to deliver it to that person in time. So I need permission to deliver that order. We haven't delivered that order yet. That's just for the permission to order, isn't it? Yes. That's how we decided. We agreed. We got a permission. Jason said we got a permission to order. That's not in front of me. Those who agree, say yes. Yes. Yes. Opponents. One small thing. Love passed. Oh, it's in my hands. Forgive me. Okay, that's good. It came in the evening. I didn't know if she got it or not, because the power went out quickly. So. Um. We can go back. And then we can go to Ramsey County 4E. We had kept the money in the budget for the graveling in some places. We are taking it there. Um, close to 10-1 is $15. They will do 1,000 yards or 1,000 yards. They said 1,000 yards is $15,000. So, they will do the blading work themselves. According to our bid, the price is $20.25. But they said that they will use the road or destroy the road. So, they will reduce $5 for the yard and they will do the blading work. I was about to say, because $15 is the lowest amount I have ever seen in gravel. Yes, it was a good thing they did. So, give money to the gravel. We are giving $15,000. They will do the rest of the work. Also, they will reduce $5 for the yard. The bid is on hold, so I need a promise to accept it. It has not been billed so far. That is, I only have to sign the contract. So, I declare the promise. I sign. We got a promise to accept the bid of $15,000, which is a cost-consumption. Those who agree, say yes. Yes. Those opposed, the same sign. The promise has been passed. DS Excavating has also sent invoices to most of the people on the 4th road. We need to add a little more gravel to the 7th road. We need to add a little more metal. But we are waiting for the metal to set a little and for it to get inside more. After that, we can use the remaining waste to complete the job. So it was $1,500,000. I need a promise to close that invoice. Accept. Promise. We have a promise and a promise for it. Please vote. Otis. Yes.

Brown. Yes. Wilhelmy.

Yes. Fulker. Yes. Pramayam passed. Wait a minute. Which road did you go on? 4th and 7th. Yes. I drove through it today. Yes. Yes. Yes, there are a lot of stones there. That's why I told them to temporarily stop putting more metal. Because we will lose it if it goes down between the metal stones we put. Before we put the metal, the road became a dead end and it was starting to dry up. When the road was dry, it was working well. But it takes time to complete government procedures and find funds. Anyway, we will fix it in some way. Even now, There is still some money left to make that soft spot better, and there is still some money left to put in metal. So, we will fix it. But since the price has started, I would like to wait two weeks for the metal to melt. Yes, if necessary, I can soak it in water. Yes, we can also rent a parker. Let's see what happens when trucks start going through it. Do you think it will reduce the dust and make it melt? Do you have any other questions about that? About that, Close construction. They completed a metal structure in Ramsey County 9B. The invoice for that is $66,616.25. So, I need an agreement to close that invoice. I agree. I agree. We have an agreement. We have an agreement. We will vote for the closing of $66,616.25.

Otis.

Yes.

Brown. Yes. Wilhelmy. Yes.

Fulker. Yes. The permit has been passed. Then, close construction. They completed the metal-edal process on the truck route. A permit is required for that $48,015. They will pay an invoice of $17,575 to City of Devils. So, after all this, the budget is about $9,000 less than the budget. So, we got a good result. They have put more metal in the places where the road was dry. It looks good now. I ran it today. I think it will last. So, the second one. There is a problem. We have to close the second one at 48,105. Please call the name. Wilhomi. Yes.

Brown. Yes. His.

Yes. Fulker. Yes. Pramayam passed. Finally, I got an evening invoice. In this, the cash invoices are in the thin lift overlay projects. I will give you a small summary. The engineering in these projects is only our responsibility. There is no federal help in the engineering project because the federal fund was used for the construction of the project. So, the engineering credit was $1,88,200. The two invoices we need to close are here. The total amount is $1,7444.03. Excuse me. The last invoice I got this afternoon. It arrived just in time for Kandik and Chairman to submit. Did you get that amount? $1,7444. Then 30 cents. That's $1,88,200. But that's $26,000 closed. So, we almost completed it. Is it enough to close both? Yes. Then should I say the invoice numbers? Invoice numbers. I saw it. Okay. Invoice number 19232. Invoice number 17799. The invoices are about to close. One Pramayam and one Pindanayam have been received. Please call the name.

He is the same. Brown. The same. William.

The same. Fulker. The same. Pramayam has passed. The last thing I have to say is that we are doing the last big project. If you have paid attention, we are building five bridges at Sampson Crossing in the Edmore area. They started it today. So the big projects of the County Highway Department will end this week. Some other things are going on. We are just getting started. But most of the projects have been completed. Does anyone have any questions? Is everything going well? Jason. Yes, things are moving forward because of the water shortage. We have not received any further information from the state. I think I've sent you a list of what the township is doing. So we're working on it. But did we give the township's statements to Freyja? I think it's in their hands. They haven't asked me. I think Lisa or someone else gave it to her. But okay. So let's move on. I think it's someone else or something else. Then she had that knife in her hand. She wanted to take it with her and read it. They didn't tell us that there was no damage. They just said that they couldn't fix it at that time. They all agree that there is damage. So, let's see if the governor will do anything for us. Otherwise, I don't know what it is. So, before the next year's flood, we will take pictures. If this happens again, let it not happen, then we will not have to go through the process of proving it later. Okay. Okay, there were pictures next to us, but they are not wrong to say where most of the damage is. Many of them are before the incident. Isn't it? But I can't deny that both FEMA and FEMA representatives in Region 8 said that your road system needs a lot of help. This is the issue. Now, we have received funds again from FEMA and FEMA. They received federal funding, but he said that it cannot be counted as such, because our superiors will be able to know. That's why it's not helping us much. You know, roads need a lot of work. We need funds to improve the roads, but they can't afford it. Isn't it?

So, this is the thing. If there was anything on our side that showed how the road was at the beginning of this year. I don't know how much improvement will be made in the road from now to next year.

But anyway, it will come.

Will you be able to take pictures to update you because of this ongoing problem? Oh, definitely. I'm sure everyone in township will be ready for it. They were very good at gathering information after this rain. So, it would be good for everyone to pay attention to not do things like they did this year before moving on next year. Okay, I'll save everything and send it to you once I'm done with these things. Of course. If we don't get any reason, I think it would be good for you to check this when you get the time. Because we were able to prove the damages of $2.5 million in our road system with the help of a local contractor. Yes, but they only accept damages of $8 million. As they say, this does not mean that the damages are not there. This is not the only reason for the rain. This is a problem of the future. But how will the local townships and counties, which run on roads worth $2.5 billion, manage without any help? No, you are right. I don't have a problem with this. Okay. Since you are more aware of this, I would like you to test this. Of course. You can test this. We have prepared a dropbox for this. You can enter it. Brent took their program, completely rebuilt it, and made things easier for them. They have now said that it will be used as a medicine. So it's very good. But, a new beginning. Yes. Anyway, Deesumai's activities are very good. I wanted to say something special. North Dakota's emergency services department director Justin Messner was also here. He worked with us, FEMA, FEMA, with the inspectors, for Sanjiri County and Ramsey County. So, it's not a problem that no one can stop us. The problem is that the federal government has now decided to pay a very high amount of money for funding. Yes, we would have had to pay more than $600,000. Even if all of this were to happen, damage, before the rain, They say that many of the things we have agreed on are in front of the rain, that is, the roadbed is wet, the dirty parts, whatever it is, it all stands for a very long time. So they say they can't hide it in the darkness. They know the reason. It was before the rain. It was a disaster that happened earlier. What happened to us is the rain of last year. The rain from June 26th to July 1st. No, the disasters. That's right. The disasters happened earlier in the rain of last year. Exactly. So they only allowed us to stay in Munich and the area for the next four to five days. That's all they can see as bad. But the whole county is in trouble. On the other hand, they say they don't want to pay the cost of the water. They only want to fix the broken road. Isn't that right? That's the easiest way to say it. Isn't that right? That's how it feels. They gave us two weeks to complete it. We decided to finish it in the morning. Everyone in township was there. Everyone took a photo and measured it. We tried our best to fix it. Then they came and said they couldn't accept it. How easy it would have been if they had said earlier that a photo would be enough. Yes, yes, they don't understand it. No, we will have to do it now. Problem. Now some things have to be fixed permanently. Like the county line, we have temporarily fixed it and closed it. So we know that we have to do it again in the winter. Then there are two more places where pipes have been damaged. There are some things that have not been included in the budget and that need to be done now. Because we won't get funding. Yes. But there is still a small expectation that the government will get help. I don't know. We see it as an expectation. We are still talking. We are trying. Thank you, Jason. Do you know, I drove down today. Yes. There are a lot of problems in the area near Prince. I don't know how safe that road will be. Will it stay like that? That's what I'm saying. By the time it's springtime, it will be destroyed. But if there's a snowstorm, I was driving around. That's not the only road that's going to be in trouble. What you're saying is right. I was there today. Tronson's is selling stones to cover the ponds. They're not buying any money. I wanted to see how much they've spent on it. But we have already discussed that they should be given a good reward. Yes, I would like to do something at Padinyaru. I don't know what to do so far. In the olden days, we had to buy wicker sticks and see if we could keep them before the cold season, to prevent the wind. The reason is at Padinyaru. We have to fill the stones. Yes, we can do it when the snow starts to melt in the winter. Because we don't have the money to take the stones there. It's about three-fourths of a mile away. I don't know for sure, but it will cost about $8,000,000 to build a road without stones. No, but if we can, it will eventually go through the top of that rock. Okay, we need to talk about this problem.

We need to make some changes in that water. Yes. We need to do that. The County Commission must make it happen. We will have to do it, or we will have to take a big financial responsibility. Daniel, did you get any information? You will have received an announcement.

A decision has been made against the termination of the interim permit. That decision has not been approved yet. It was confirmed in November. On the second or third week of November. But I have not received any response so far. I have to talk to some people and witnesses, so I would like to hear their opinions. You are talking about the situation of roads and how water affects things. So, I want the hearing to take place in November itself, because it's already late. So I will try my best not to delay it any longer. It's better to start early than late. Everyone thinks so, but we have to make sure that the timing is not getting very short. We have some things to do. The department and EG's office are helping us. I can talk to them. That is... We have made an appeal against a decision. But it is not that we can't reach an agreement before we go through the whole process of legislation. Our goal is to find a solution that works for everyone. Anyway, the hearing will take place in mid-November. Okay. We had some yogas about other things, so we are doing other things too. We are thinking of new ideas. We are talking to local authorities. We are looking for legal and other ways. We are trying to move things forward. This problem has been solved. It's right. Right. Correct. Yes. So, if we get anything back, we can all agree and talk about it. Things are going on. We are all thinking about this. That is, when I think about what will happen on that path, I am afraid. Especially during the flood season, as you know, heavy lorries are coming there. Then I can only imagine what will happen when the bottom of the water is soaked. Then the heat of the hot springs will not be there all the time. Yes, I was there today. There was no special benefit because I went there. The dam was lying in the water all the time. But when I saw it coming down from the first level, I felt happy. Now it is near the dam. Now it is not in the dam, but it was wet all the time. I think about 3-6 inches of water has been reduced. Basmikaranam, isn't it? Yes, that's what I meant. Even at the end of August, the water level hasn't decreased. It should have been lower by now, but it's only about to come again. Since everything is in the same level, it's not possible to go to the water. But when it starts to decrease, water flows from the northern parts to here. That's why it's full. It's like a full dam now. But what I saw today, two or three weeks ago, there were rocks in two or three places. But today, there's a lot there. I'm curious about that road. In the next one or two years, we have to start thinking about how the road will be renovated, right? That's right. The condition of that road is bad. We have written a number through a poll. I'll call Brandon. That's a good thing. Let's ask the federal highway officials in Bismarck how long that number will last. Because they've told us that if water touches the water line, they'll immediately help us. But whether the road goes up or down, or if the water goes up to the water line, they'll only fund it. I think the water line has gone down. That's the situation. Let's keep the jokes aside. But it's not a joke. If we want to stop the road, we'll have to do something about it temporarily. Let's just put some white-collar poles or something else. And when it gets cold, we can burn it. I don't know what to do. I'm done with doing anything. Because I don't need $6-8 lakhs to repair the road. So... Let's find a way. Thank you, Jason. Okay, thank you. Paul, do you have anything to say to us? All of you. Did you get a chance to test it? This was going to change again and again.

I didn't mean to say that it had been absorbed during this period. No. But you have to do something.

Do you have any questions or concerns? Steve is here. I have a question. Who is this zoning, this ordinance? Who is going to make this happen? How many times have I asked you this question? That is, that is the truth, isn't it? Yes, I wrote the zoning ordinance through Sherry, Steep & Simmer, Regal Kai, and Inrel Plans. I think this is the last time I submitted a part of this. In other words, Commissioner Wilhelm and I used a committee to develop the comp plan and zoning ordinance. Then there are some ways for this. Anyone in the county can file a zoning ordinance. You have to appoint a zoning administrator. If you read the zoning ordinance, there is a lot in it. Zoning Administrator Zoning Administrator They are the initial meeting point. They are the people who hand over the commission and details to the applicant. Also, they are responsible. Under the zoning ordinance, the planning commission submits invitations. So, these are all part of a process. The first person to be put in will be the zoning administrator. Then, under the planning commission zoning ordinance, a submission will be submitted. If there is a zoning change or subdivision, the last decision will be made by you. But most importantly, it will be the zoning administrator who gives information to everyone, even if it is someone who works in the county. You can hire a new person, or use a consultant like most counties do. As we discussed, I had submitted a budget for the place I would take. Then, That is, only that. A person who handles all things that would be a zoning administrator. Yes, that's how it is. Nothing comes directly to the commission. It is always a request. So, it is practical. The final decisions and final words will be from the commission. But in the beginning, before you reach your destination, many things are going on. Yes, now. Other emails about zoning are listed in the Planning and Zoning Commission. I usually send them back. But... It would be great if someone else did the same. Again, if I did what I promised and did it on a budget, how would it be? But again, that's just an option. There are other options as well. I'm trying to figure out how long it will take in this situation. So it doesn't mean that the county is appointing someone. Because we don't know exactly what the job is. So, yes, I have one. Yes, that's what the planning commission discussed from the start. Even if we don't know much at the start, we can rule out a third part because we don't know how this workload is. Isn't it? We don't want to make the county residents and others work more. Everyone thought that Candy had a lot of free time, so they tried to move her out of town. But... Not only that, we need someone who knows that. Right? Yes, yes, we need someone who has experience. Otherwise, it will come. Everyone will only know that. Otherwise, zoning will be a waste of time. If you are not trying to do it right from the start. Yes. I have written ordinances for many places and people. I have tried to teach them how it works. But in most cases, it is returned to my head. That's because it's not Dainan's business. There is a legal process to ensure that everything is going well. So, yes, it is something that can be learned. But it's not something everyone knows. So it's right. Of course, if anyone is willing to learn, I can teach. Another part of this ordinance set is the building permit and inspection. I don't think there will be a need for this in the near future, but we do need it. Devils need to reach out to the city, to be useful, to achieve anything. We have held numerous discussions. They have the skills and skills to do it. This is what we have heard throughout this process. One of the most important things we have heard from townships and the health department is that, apart from just a permit or a fee, there needs to be a system that allows everyone to understand what is going on and that allows them to access building permits and to talk to visitors. Then these facilities will bring you closer. This is a process that we have to follow for building permits. I don't know if it should be stored in a pocket, but do you have that software at hand? Yes, I sent some demos. Anyway, the software package they use is different, but they are trying to change it. They will be able to create a routing process. They will be able to create a routing process. They will be able to create a routing process. They will be able to create a routing process. They will be able to create a routing process. They will be able to create a routing process. They will be able to create a routing process. Most things will be handled by them. So, that's the process we're discussing. We haven't fully decided on it yet. That's why we first thought it was when it was approved. Next year will be the deadline for this. We will use this year's remaining building permit process to properly understand how it will work. That is the most important thing. Sowning is not that difficult. But you have to do all the things that you have to do after accepting the forms that you have received online. So, yes, if the software is with us, it will be very easy to handle. But, yes, I think it's very easy to use. This is a web-based method, so there will only be one link. Yes, you can decide what details people can see. So, an administrator can use it. They can use it to send an application. Yes, you can send an online application. It will go with the application. If you see things related to zoning or subdivision, then I will send it to the related group. This is also the case with the permit for building a house. It will first come to the county, then it will be sent to the city, and they will inspect it. The whole county will be under this. Townships will still have their own laws. But bringing everyone together as one system is part of the debate. There are many doubts in the townships. It is not clear whether the county has included this or whether they have accepted this. The townships with their own laws are affected by this zoning. They still have their own zoning laws, and the county has no right to interfere. But in the case of subdivision ordinance, the next thing you are going to investigate is the county's authority, which regulates roads and land use. Since they are the ones who take care of the county roads, they have the right to do so. But if townships have their own zoning rules, they can still follow them. That's part of the discussion. Some want to work together with the county. If that happens, things will be much easier. That is, if the zoning ordinance has not been implemented in any township in the county, this new ordinance will affect the entire county. But a township has more power over zoning than a county. If they are in power, they will continue it. I am paying attention. Yes, that's what I meant. Yes. To be honest, this is a big mistake. This is because a lot of things are happening in North Dakota right now. For example, a lot of things have started from data center well, kata, etc. So, the main objective is to ensure that there are proper lines near the county. That is one way. Related to the Malinajala constitution of the state. Will this help? Malinajala constitution? I don't know exactly what it is. The responsibility of how Malinajala constitutions should be built is the state's public health department. Yes. Oh, are you referring to septic tanks? Yes. When I spoke to the health district in Ramsey County, one of their wishes was that they do not always get time to investigate things. They are required to investigate what happened afterwards, and then they take enforcement action. So, by saying that all things that come to the county must be permitted, we can prevent this further. Therefore, there are procedures to prevent unauthorized construction operations. You can prevent construction or take action according to the constitution. If the procedures are not followed, there are ways to fix it before things are completed. They will have time to make sure that it is inspected properly.

I don't want to prosecute anyone in the name of Malinajala issues. I want to do it right before it happens. Yes, that's right.

This will be an immediate process. People need to be aware of this new law, whether through the media or not. People need to be aware of this new law, whether through the media or not. People need to be aware of this new law, whether through the media or not. However, the most important thing is to know what is happening to those who need to investigate. Whether you or I want to know this, this is important in the case of the highway department and roads. If anything is being constructed in rural areas, it should be determined in advance who is responsible for those roads. These ordinances make this clear. That is, before anything starts, there should be an idea about road maintenance and other things. Who is the one who spreads the water? Where is the Malinijala culture accepted? There is a checklist for everything. Before anything happens, the authorities will investigate the matter. If these things are taken care of in the beginning itself, then the possibility of problems that need to be solved can be avoided. In the beginning, things are done properly to help us make money, and then we can avoid the excess cost of fixing the problems. I am the planning and zoning consultant of the Municipal Assembly. We regularly handle the things that say, oh, we didn't have this. Extra-territorial roads in a subdivision have nothing to do with who governs them. It will eventually be returned to the Municipal Assembly. Okay, we don't have the responsibility for this. Township officials say they don't want to do it. In other words, you always have to face difficulties with the things that have happened. But according to the way these ordinances are made, such things will be decided before the construction or construction rights are taken. This way, the county can avoid such incidents. So, what do you expect? Is this a plan to move forward?

We thought we had discussed it. If I am wrong, please correct me. We don't need to read it twice, right? We don't need to read it.

Planning and Zoning Commission Zoning Ordinance and Subdivision Ordinance have been approved. If both of these are to come into effect, the approval of this Act is required. To provide time for legislators to take action, they have decided to come into effect on January 1. Therefore, if you want to move forward with these commission ordinances, you need special votes for the zoning ordinance and the subdivision ordinance. Is this a first speech or how was the announcement made? We made the announcement only for zoning. Okay, then zone. We will advertise.

Because this is big. It's a lot.

But this isn't the first time we've advertised it. We just want to advertise it. Okay, that's it. Understood. Then, so today's church zoning ordinance will be only about that. Not about subdivision ordinance. You can say. So, it's okay. Power or township. That's why townships don't have to come. They can do whatever they want now. That is, they have the same power as the city has. They have more power than everyone else in their area. But townships have zoning power in the county. The rest is up to the county. That's why townships still have their zoning rights. The county cannot decide what they are doing. That's why... There's nothing. Now, that's why... Counties then have zoning regulations for townships without zoning ordinances. It's not that they don't have a board, it's just that they don't have an authorized ordinance. If a township brings an ordinance of its own, it will be rejected by the county's ordinance. That is, by the county's ordinance. That's why these bids are suspended. Yes, this will be a problem everywhere without an approved zoning ordinance, but if a township accepts it, they will not use the county's law, they will have their own law. Yes, if the township does not want to create its own law, this will be a problem. Yes, but if the township wants to create its own law, they can do it. Yes, There are legal ways for townships to give their authority to the county. If they do so, the county will always have their authority. You know, they have their authority. But this has to be done on a regular basis. Yes. Land use should be regulated. Otherwise, there should not be a data center in the county. Townships should not only have zoning ordinances. That's why this is for your protection in such circumstances. But if the township needs their control back, they can withdraw their zoning ordinance or their own zoning ordinance. This is enough for the county to include this. This is enough protection. Yes, I can tell you that everything is included in this. Okay, that's one of them. What I meant was, this is more consent. There is a lot of activity going on in Ramseh County as opposed to many small counties. So, we have included all the things in this ordinance or the things we heard through this process. We had steering committee meetings as a comprehensive plan. There was also a planning and zoning commission. In addition, we had a steering committee that we had seen many times for zoning issues. In addition, we had open houses for the public. We heard their opinions, so we heard the last things that were included in the zoning ordinance in those meetings. We made sure that the things that were happening in other places where I worked for a long time were included in the zoning ordinance. One of the features of this zoning ordinance is that it is not unchanged. You can make changes to this. If you feel that you need to change something while using this, you can make changes to it. If you want to add more things, if you feel that you need to improve something when a new problem arises, you can make changes to it. You can add it. You can make any changes to this according to the conditions in Ramsey County. So, this is to introduce something to a place where there is nothing. Isn't it? These are the reasons for the problems caused by the lack of infrastructure in many places. If you look at Highway 2, it goes to the rest area. There were so many problems because there was no zoning in the rest area. So when people build their roads, they get into trouble because they don't look at the big picture. This is to be avoided. If there was an ordinance, it would have been able to avoid the legal struggles related to the feed lot years ago, because these ordinances do not hinder the development. They do not oppose. Things that come to the county. It is a burden for them to come. We ensure that businesses have the right to come to the county and protect the county itself. Rather than allowing everyone to do what they want, it is better to develop the system. Otherwise, it will create problems. Yes, this is going back to a system where people who don't know if things are right are able to see it. The biggest thing behind this is actually that process. There are rules and directions, but the most important thing is to ensure that everyone has the same opinion and that those who need to verify it are given the opportunity to see it. This is a good thing to start with. If anyone wants to avoid this, they will find a way to do so. This was possible to fix on the highway. Yes, we couldn't stop it. If there were small obstacles, we could have avoided the deaths. No, we don't know. We can't predict what will happen in the future, but it is possible. We could have solved the problems we are facing now. That's why I expect that the yoga that we did with Samsthanavumaya will be accepted. So, do you need an invitation to pass this? Yes. Okay, then. We have an invitation. Is there a second person who wants to join? To make it clear how January 1st will be held. Very good. Hi, Brown.

Hi, Wilhelmy. Bulk.

Hi, Pramayam has passed. Let's move on to new things. Requests for the Red River Fund. Candy, can we talk a little bit about this?

I believe they submitted this letter. Um. Every year, it is worth 1.1 million. And, they... It is 5680.8 Poojam Dollars. That's right.

And... That's what we got in the pocket. At the Red River border, each county has an opportunity to donate 6RB. Our $5680 donation. The funds from Ramsey County will be about 1.1 million. This is an official announcement to Ramsey County that the Red River Basin Commission is funding this project in 2027. Yes, they are raising the interest rate to 2018. Nikuthi, is this something we have to do every year? Yes. They send out announcements every year. This is illegal. This is illegal every year.

Okay. Yes. We have always been involved in this.

We send this to them. No. No. We send this every year. Has this ever been paid? No. I think Jeff will have more details about this, but... We are not actually in the Red River, are we? We are. There have been discussions about that before. Also, I don't like the part about Canadian authority. I don't want to interfere in things related to Canadian authority. So... We are a closed barrier to the devils, but the Red River of the Sheyan River flows down. So, Jeff will definitely have more to say about this, and the things I read in this story will make him more interested. This is part of the discussion on the quality of water. What is going on in North Kottu? What is preventing more water? Because of the quality of water, it is not possible to pump more water. This is one of the reasons. And I am not saying that they should be funded. I don't know who they are or exactly what they are doing, but I don't know how the Red River Basin Commission is affecting their water quality standards and the water conservation activities that are taking place. I don't know what is happening here in Ramsey County. I don't know if they are aware of it. I really don't know. Otherwise... I hope North Dakota representatives are putting this forward. But I think Doug Garing and the others listed in it will be talking about this. But if anyone from the county is participating directly... It would be better to raise the voice. But I don't know if we are willing to sacrifice this for a research project. I'll tell you the truth. I didn't want this to happen like the Garrison diversion. We were paying money there every year. And what did we get? You know, nothing. We didn't get anything. Is this just another bill that we are paying? If they were in need of this, I would like to have an exhibition here. So we could ask questions. I'm not saying this is not a good thing, but the way they represent this, that is, I tell stories to the counties and they give me $5,000, that would be great. I see this as not being a part of Raider River. If you look at the counties related to the Red River, the same amount or less that we are being asked is being asked to them. Yes, I suggest that we take all these into account and implement the bill of 5,681. I vote. We got a motion. A second person has voted for the motion to be implemented. Let's vote. You have received the instructions and the print name. Those who agree, say yes. Yes, yes. Those who disagree, say the same. The instructions have been passed. Okay, let's move on to the questions and answers. Is there anyone? As you can see, there is one more thing to say before examining the last lines of the candy. And if you look at the general miscellaneous part, there are some things to think about. I'll take it. Planning and zoning, that's 12, 75,500. If we do that, the only thing to look at for applications is the bottom right corner. Everything else is very clear. If you are looking at this before our next meeting, if you have anything to add or omit, that's it. I don't hear anything. Sheriff, do you have anything to say? I don't get any response from the staff. The court is adjourned. Forgive me. These are all very saturated.
