WEBVTT 00:00:00.290 --> 00:00:07.336 - All right. So we will go ahead and get started. Good evening, everybody. Today is Tuesday, June 30th, 00:00:07.336 --> 00:00:14.519 - twenty twenty six. The time is now five one and I am calling to order what was supposed to be the joint 00:00:14.519 --> 00:00:19.838 - session of the Monroe County Council and board of commissioners. However, it 00:00:20.002 --> 00:00:28.300 - does appear that we do not have a quorum of commissioners, although Commissioner Thomas is online with 00:00:28.300 --> 00:00:36.436 - us. And here present in the NETU Hillbron, we have county council members Iverson, Wilts, Feidl, and 00:00:36.436 --> 00:00:44.572 - then online we have council members Deckard and Henry. So we will go ahead and get started. Is there 00:00:44.572 --> 00:00:49.406 - anything that you need to add to this, Commissioner Thomas? 00:00:51.970 --> 00:01:01.559 - Uh, no, I, well, yes, let me be brief. Um, I have, um, I could not attend today in person for a variety 00:01:01.559 --> 00:01:11.149 - of reasons, but, uh, commissioner Madeira got waylaid on, um, a trip. And so that's why she's not here. 00:01:11.149 --> 00:01:16.958 - Uh, but I will take, um, our discussion back to my colleagues. 00:01:17.154 --> 00:01:30.435 - for consideration. I don't see anything particularly significant in terms of debate. Okay. All right. 00:01:30.435 --> 00:01:43.585 - Thank you. Yep. So we will proceed. So we will go ahead and adopt tonight's agenda. Is there anybody 00:01:43.585 --> 00:01:45.278 - that has any 00:01:45.570 --> 00:01:58.423 - concerns about the agenda as presented. Okay. All right. So I just need a motion to adopt tonight's 00:01:58.423 --> 00:02:11.662 - agenda to move. All right. We got a motion and a second. And Michelle, will you please call roll? Yes. 00:02:11.662 --> 00:02:15.518 - Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. 00:02:16.322 --> 00:02:28.236 - Yes. Yes. Thank you very much for that. Next up is the information related to the projects because as 00:02:28.236 --> 00:02:31.390 - we all know, we have until 00:02:31.682 --> 00:02:38.913 - December 31st of 2026, which is just a short while from here to spend all of the government dollars 00:02:38.913 --> 00:02:46.361 - and we don't want to give not a single penny back. So I know we have the auditor's office that is here 00:02:46.361 --> 00:02:53.954 - to present their recommendations to us. It looks like Miss Woodruff is going to be doing that. So please 00:02:53.954 --> 00:02:56.702 - go ahead. Good evening. Good evening. 00:02:56.962 --> 00:03:11.726 - We have some documents I would like to display. If I could be promoted, that would be fantastic. This 00:03:11.726 --> 00:03:24.318 - is Carly. All righty. So this should look very familiar. This is our ARPA spreadsheet. 00:03:24.514 --> 00:03:31.580 - We're going to get back to this here in a moment. I'm going to go over some details that are provided 00:03:31.580 --> 00:03:38.507 - also in the packet in writing. I'm not going to read those word for word, but we're hopeful just to 00:03:38.507 --> 00:03:45.434 - give you a brief overview of that document and how it plays into this spreadsheet. So reviewing the 00:03:45.434 --> 00:03:46.750 - timeline for ARPA. 00:03:46.978 --> 00:03:53.305 - It looks like we need to review the status of the ARPA projects as they are today. We need to determine 00:03:53.305 --> 00:03:59.450 - next steps for currently overfunded projects. And then we also need to determine where that money is 00:03:59.450 --> 00:04:05.716 - going to go. Ultimately, if we could, it would be really great to come to an agreement on what happens 00:04:05.716 --> 00:04:12.104 - if other projects become overfunded after this meeting. That way we don't have to come back to the table 00:04:12.104 --> 00:04:16.606 - and schedule a meeting. It's just kind of a natural process that happens. 00:04:19.394 --> 00:04:28.149 - The cash summary, as of right now, we have spent roughly $27 million, and we have roughly $1.9 million 00:04:28.149 --> 00:04:37.073 - unexpended. That is all currently obligated, but we do have some projects that are coming in under where 00:04:37.073 --> 00:04:46.338 - they are currently budgeted. So that's why we are having this meeting today. When we look at the spreadsheet 00:04:46.338 --> 00:04:47.358 - that should 00:04:47.490 --> 00:04:59.530 - this spreadsheet right here, you should be looking at this column for obligated or appropriated. Yes, 00:04:59.530 --> 00:05:04.606 - it's the appropriated or obligated column. 00:05:04.834 --> 00:05:12.185 - Whenever you're looking at the color coding that's used in this column, the yellow is going to be lost 00:05:12.185 --> 00:05:19.323 - revenue and the red orange is going to be that restricted. So anything that's restricted, it has to 00:05:19.323 --> 00:05:26.531 - have a certain purpose outlined in the ARPA guidelines. And we have worked with our ARPA advisors to 00:05:26.531 --> 00:05:28.030 - be able to determine 00:05:28.226 --> 00:05:35.155 - whether a project is restricted or unrestricted. Now, if we have unrestricted projects, we can only 00:05:35.155 --> 00:05:42.154 - have a total of $10 million obligated towards those unrestricted projects. So when we look at moving 00:05:42.154 --> 00:05:49.222 - money around across projects, not only do we need to make sure that we have enough money in the fund, 00:05:49.222 --> 00:05:53.726 - but also that we are not going past that $10 million obligation. 00:05:54.562 --> 00:06:02.597 - If you look over in the gray box over here you can see the totals and that's simply a sum function of 00:06:02.597 --> 00:06:10.632 - all the yellow and all the orange. And then down here right below the gray box you'll see how much of 00:06:10.632 --> 00:06:16.382 - a difference there is between what we have currently obligated for those 00:06:16.738 --> 00:06:25.094 - lost revenue projects versus what our max is. So as it stands right now, we have 152,000 and change 00:06:25.094 --> 00:06:33.951 - that we have not obligated to the unrestricted, but we have obligated that in excess to what are required 00:06:33.951 --> 00:06:39.550 - in the restricted. And we'll get back to that in here in a moment. 00:06:44.450 --> 00:06:52.041 - Moving on to talk about open and closed projects, you'll see this red line. These are two projects that 00:06:52.041 --> 00:06:59.414 - are currently under budget. So we expect for them not to use the full obligation. You'll notice that 00:06:59.414 --> 00:07:06.494 - one of those projects is restricted and one of them is lost revenue or unrestricted. Moving down 00:07:06.594 --> 00:07:13.728 - To the next layer, you have the light green. Those are projects that are open and have requested additional 00:07:13.728 --> 00:07:20.597 - ARPA funds. So those are projects that can take on more of that money that the red projects cannot use. 00:07:20.597 --> 00:07:27.599 - The next section, which is the dark green, those are simply projects that are open. It seems like they're 00:07:27.599 --> 00:07:34.270 - running smoothly. We haven't received any indicators that they are going to go over or under budget. 00:07:35.426 --> 00:07:44.247 - And then bouncing back up, you'll see all of these gray cells up here. These are all closed projects. 00:07:44.247 --> 00:07:53.068 - So those are projects that we have started. We fulfilled the obligation. They've been fully expended, 00:07:53.068 --> 00:08:01.717 - and they have been closed out in our ARPA portal. So when we look at the light green, I'm sorry, we 00:08:01.717 --> 00:08:04.830 - look at the red. Bear with me here. 00:08:11.042 --> 00:08:19.473 - Across the two projects, the amount that we are being told by the individuals that are running these 00:08:19.473 --> 00:08:28.573 - projects, the amount that is available to be re-obligated to one of the light green projects is $315,225.41. 00:08:28.573 --> 00:08:36.670 - And if you're trying to follow along, if you look at this page right here, it's the ARPA update. 00:08:38.978 --> 00:08:48.847 - That number is noted in red on that page. Now the light green projects the amount that they each project 00:08:48.847 --> 00:08:58.340 - is requesting in addition is listed in the chart on the ARPA update continued page which you can see 00:08:58.340 --> 00:09:01.630 - displayed on the screen right now. 00:09:02.466 --> 00:09:14.594 - As you can see, the requests are much higher than the cash that we currently have to be re obligated. 00:09:14.594 --> 00:09:15.902 - Moving on. 00:09:16.002 --> 00:09:25.035 - I just want to make a quick note that we do have some LATCF funding that we do need to make some decisions 00:09:25.035 --> 00:09:33.561 - on soon, whether that be now, in six months, in 12 months. We're not on nearly as much of a timeline 00:09:33.561 --> 00:09:42.340 - for LATCF funding, but that money is there and has not been obligated. Do we have any questions at this 00:09:42.340 --> 00:09:45.886 - point about what's been discussed so far? 00:09:47.394 --> 00:09:57.314 - Looking to my colleagues here in the room to see if anybody has any questions or how about virtually 00:09:57.314 --> 00:10:07.332 - So for tonight's meeting the auditors recommendation would be to Suggest a deobligation of that three 00:10:07.332 --> 00:10:15.582 - hundred and fifteen thousand and change of those red projects and then figure out a 00:10:15.778 --> 00:10:25.741 - across those light green projects, how we want to kind of spread that money across those projects. 00:10:25.741 --> 00:10:35.905 - And again, the very simple breakdown of what those projects are requesting is on that ARPA update. I 00:10:35.905 --> 00:10:44.862 - do have a question. My hand's been up. If I might. Well, we couldn't see you. All right. 00:10:45.058 --> 00:10:53.269 - So, hey, I do want to thank Ms. Woodruff and the auditor's office for putting this together. It's very 00:10:53.269 --> 00:11:01.479 - clearly written and very precise and very concise. I did notice that there had been some sort of email 00:11:01.479 --> 00:11:09.690 - exchange with the airport regarding the stormwater project where they may or may not need the $50,000. 00:11:09.690 --> 00:11:13.118 - Do you know when we're going to know that? 00:11:16.002 --> 00:11:24.474 - I do not have an answer for that. I can tell you they are working as fast as they can to close up that 00:11:24.474 --> 00:11:33.028 - project. And it looks like there may be a hand. I'm so sorry, I was hoping that was the airport chiming 00:11:33.028 --> 00:11:41.664 - in. I don't have a definitive answer, but I do know that they indicated their project should be complete 00:11:41.664 --> 00:11:45.694 - by October of 2026 is what they said. Thank you. 00:11:45.954 --> 00:11:54.229 - Councilor Decker. Thank you very much and sorry, I didn't mean to confuse that. Does this mean that, 00:11:54.229 --> 00:12:02.504 - and maybe I'm getting ahead of things here, but does this mean that if the airport doesn't need that 00:12:02.504 --> 00:12:10.943 - or, sorry, I'm getting an echo. If there's a combination of these that we might be able to spread this 00:12:10.943 --> 00:12:14.302 - across all three since we can't max out. 00:12:14.946 --> 00:12:23.942 - There's one of them that we could not max out to. Is this making any sense? Yes, that makes sense. Whenever 00:12:23.942 --> 00:12:33.022 - I look at these, and again, I'm not going to make a recommendation for what you guys should or shouldn't do. 00:12:33.186 --> 00:12:40.756 - But whenever I look at this table and I look at the fact that the max amount right now that we can give 00:12:40.756 --> 00:12:48.326 - to parks is roughly $214,000, that is the easiest project for us to quickly funnel money into. So those 00:12:48.326 --> 00:12:56.042 - monies have already been spent out of other non-ARPA funds. So what that comes down to is a simple ledger 00:12:56.042 --> 00:12:58.590 - correction to move those expenses. 00:12:58.754 --> 00:13:05.588 - from one fund to another fund. That would allow the Parks Department to then use the money that's freed 00:13:05.588 --> 00:13:12.422 - up in the fund that the correction came from on the paving that they are trying to complete. That being 00:13:12.422 --> 00:13:14.590 - said, since that is such a quick 00:13:15.170 --> 00:13:23.386 - action item for us to complete I would suggest we figure out a hard dollar amount that we want to give 00:13:23.386 --> 00:13:31.442 - airport that we want to give the ambulances for the fire district and then we leave some flexibility 00:13:31.442 --> 00:13:39.499 - in the parks project so that if any other projects come in under budget we can make that quick pivot 00:13:39.499 --> 00:13:43.806 - does that answer your question it does it sounds like 00:13:44.738 --> 00:13:52.003 - Sorry, the feedback is wild. It sounds like the flexibility would allow you to say all but 50,000 00:13:52.003 --> 00:13:59.417 - of it. And then in October, you'd know the remainder amount and could, you could throw that, if you 00:13:59.417 --> 00:14:04.606 - were maxing out to cars, you just put it into more ambulance funding. 00:14:06.306 --> 00:14:12.684 - it would actually be the opposite, because right now, if we give money to the ambulance, they're going 00:14:12.684 --> 00:14:19.062 - to have to go out and purchase the items, get the invoice, pay the invoice, request reimbursement from 00:14:19.062 --> 00:14:25.378 - us, and then they're going to have, we're gonna have to issue that claim. So that's a longer process. 00:14:25.378 --> 00:14:31.818 - So if we want to give money to the fire district, we need to do that now to give them time to put those 00:14:31.818 --> 00:14:33.118 - actions into motion. 00:14:34.754 --> 00:14:43.839 - Does that mean that you would not max out Karst in that case? I would not max out Karst at this moment 00:14:43.839 --> 00:14:53.011 - if I was making this decision. Oh, I see. I see. Okay. Thank you. Okay. Yes, Councillor Iverson. I want 00:14:53.011 --> 00:15:01.214 - to switch topics just real quick and go back to this de-appropriation of the 315 and change. 00:15:01.442 --> 00:15:08.190 - And I see it written here, but I think I do want it spoken into the record. We have reached out to both 00:15:08.190 --> 00:15:14.873 - the sheriff's department and the health department. They are sufficiently far enough on these projects 00:15:14.873 --> 00:15:21.426 - that they understand that this is happening. Yes, I've spoken to Dave Gardner, who has said that the 00:15:21.426 --> 00:15:28.044 - project for the jail locks is complete and all invoices have been paid. And the health department has 00:15:28.044 --> 00:15:29.342 - also confirmed that 00:15:29.442 --> 00:15:35.696 - they reach their obligation deadline and they are aware that this is being de-obligated. Excellent. 00:15:35.696 --> 00:15:42.012 - I think she's pretty sufficiently clear why I would want to have that read out. And Madam President, 00:15:42.012 --> 00:15:48.328 - I'm ready to make a motion whenever you're ready. All right. Let me see if we have any other further 00:15:48.328 --> 00:15:54.582 - discussions. I see Commissioner Thomas has her hand up, but I'll go to Councilor Wilts first, and I 00:15:54.582 --> 00:15:58.334 - don't want to put her on the spot, but I know in looking at 00:15:58.434 --> 00:16:07.487 - um, what we had and Councilor Wilts has done a really good job with, um, the Head at Home Initiative. 00:16:07.487 --> 00:16:16.451 - And I know right now it's not a good idea for us to open up things because we have to look at things 00:16:16.451 --> 00:16:26.302 - as lost revenue, but we also have that LA TCF, um, fund. So Councilor Wilts, I know you had, um, a concern or, 00:16:26.690 --> 00:16:36.235 - an idea I should say an idea of use of funds and I don't know if you wanted to maybe talk about that 00:16:36.235 --> 00:16:46.063 - or if not totally fine sure no I can talk about it and then I'm gonna put counselor Deckard on the spot 00:16:46.063 --> 00:16:55.230 - so when I was when several of us have been involved with the heading home organization and their 00:16:57.506 --> 00:17:09.862 - forthcoming efforts to look at a project around encampment removal and putting folks from encampments 00:17:09.862 --> 00:17:21.975 - into housing. That initiative is in the very early stages of being figured out and it would benefit 00:17:21.975 --> 00:17:26.942 - and indeed I think needs to be supported 00:17:27.426 --> 00:17:37.558 - with some local government match. There are other funds that they can bring in, but long story short, 00:17:37.558 --> 00:17:47.492 - I did speak with the auditor about this at one point, and I'm not sure it's the best use of ARPA so 00:17:47.492 --> 00:17:56.830 - much because of some issues around when the spending would take place and that kind of thing. 00:17:57.218 --> 00:18:05.877 - That one gets me every time. That's obviously an option. And I do know that since the last workshop 00:18:05.877 --> 00:18:14.882 - on this issue that was a week or two, a couple of weeks ago, Councilor Deckard has been more intimately 00:18:14.882 --> 00:18:23.714 - involved along with Commissioner Madeira. And so I think there might be some other ideas that they're 00:18:23.714 --> 00:18:26.398 - floating either in addition to 00:18:26.626 --> 00:18:37.615 - or instead of, so I wanted to just make sure that he had an opportunity to chime in. All right, I'm 00:18:37.615 --> 00:18:48.933 - unmuted now. So that program is in a pilot discussion, and I don't want to get ahead of where they are 00:18:48.933 --> 00:18:53.438 - publicly on that discussion, but a pilot 00:18:54.274 --> 00:19:02.459 - pilot discussion on how that might be a collaboration here locally between different entities, city, 00:19:02.459 --> 00:19:10.887 - county, and others. But the pilot program notion being that different entities would come together with 00:19:10.887 --> 00:19:19.234 - dollars to fund helping individuals that are either finding themselves homeless or in encampments. And 00:19:19.234 --> 00:19:23.934 - I guess my question on this would be, would this qualify, 00:19:24.738 --> 00:19:36.578 - Would these dollars qualify as something that could be used quickly for this, for ARPA? And that I don't 00:19:36.578 --> 00:19:48.192 - know. Yeah, I don't think that we know enough about the schedule for spending the funds to really have 00:19:48.192 --> 00:19:52.702 - it be a serious consideration for ARPA. 00:19:52.834 --> 00:20:01.840 - but the LATCF funds are not as time restricted. So I think that's what Councilor Crossley was referring 00:20:01.840 --> 00:20:10.845 - to. So I just wanted to sort of answer that question. We can jump back to ARPA, certainly. I do believe 00:20:10.845 --> 00:20:19.851 - there's a hand raised as well. Yes, okay. I wanted to make sure that discussion was over and then we'll 00:20:19.851 --> 00:20:22.622 - go to Commissioner Thomas next. 00:20:23.554 --> 00:20:31.845 - Yes, thank you. Yeah, I think what you've raised is interesting as a potential use for LATCF funds. 00:20:31.845 --> 00:20:40.385 - But yeah, that's the end of December. And the only thing we can do with ARPA, I believe, is to utilize 00:20:40.385 --> 00:20:49.090 - it for open projects. Projects still remain open, which is why there's such a short list in light green. 00:20:49.090 --> 00:20:52.158 - And if I'm wrong, Carly, correct me. 00:20:52.386 --> 00:21:00.791 - The other thing, I just wanna say a couple of things really quickly. First is that Mr. Copperle and 00:21:00.791 --> 00:21:09.784 - I are in conversation with the Lake Monroe Water Fund about the potential for an additional septic program 00:21:09.784 --> 00:21:18.188 - for our community, but also surrounding counties. So it's not that we don't care about septic, it's 00:21:18.188 --> 00:21:21.214 - just that the timing is so critical 00:21:21.538 --> 00:21:33.065 - there's only a certain window where you can actually install them, and that's where things ran astray. 00:21:33.065 --> 00:21:44.368 - And I also want to state that I would, because the airport's looking for 50,000, it seems to me that 00:21:44.368 --> 00:21:47.614 - for me, we can take whatever 00:21:47.714 --> 00:21:56.651 - You all recommend I can take that back to the commissioners, but I would think about just splitting 00:21:56.651 --> 00:22:05.676 - this between the ambulances and cars because the cars can be done quickly, but the ambulance side of 00:22:05.676 --> 00:22:13.630 - it needs time. And that's really a great investment in our community. Thanks. Thank you. 00:22:16.482 --> 00:22:24.367 - I guess one would also say as well that I know that it's been airport has been very vocal about trying 00:22:24.367 --> 00:22:32.253 - to be on the up and up because this also too can be an investment in the community as well. And that's 00:22:32.253 --> 00:22:40.291 - their economic vitality and growth. So you want to keep that in mind as well. And of course, we've heard 00:22:40.291 --> 00:22:43.966 - about, you know, what we've been doing with the 00:22:44.226 --> 00:22:52.221 - car spills project and we've been dealing with that for a really long time. And I really greatly appreciate 00:22:52.221 --> 00:22:59.697 - all of that. I just am also trying to make sure that we are also taking care of because every budget 00:22:59.697 --> 00:23:07.322 - season Mr. Laverty is always in here expressing some type of need. So if we could also shift with that 00:23:07.322 --> 00:23:13.022 - in addition to taking care of the ambulances, that would be great too. Okay. 00:23:13.506 --> 00:23:24.325 - Is there any other further questions or comments from council here or online? All right. Seeing none, 00:23:24.325 --> 00:23:35.250 - I guess we will. Well, the idea is for us to make a motion to bring forth the recommendations proposed 00:23:35.250 --> 00:23:42.462 - by the auditor's office to pass to go to the commissioners as well. 00:23:42.658 --> 00:23:48.963 - So, okay. Ideally, it would have been nice to have this all at once and go forth, but fate happens and 00:23:48.963 --> 00:23:55.329 - it allows us to be split at the moment. So that's okay. So. Deappropriation, you're going to start with 00:23:55.329 --> 00:24:01.512 - the deappropriation. Then Madam President, maybe we can take a breath and kind of look at where that 00:24:01.512 --> 00:24:08.062 - lands us. And then once everyone's good, then we can make a motion on the appropriations. Sure. All right. 00:24:08.546 --> 00:24:19.596 - Council, I move to de-appropriate a total of $315,225.41 from two projects, the jail locks project, 00:24:19.596 --> 00:24:31.530 - a lost revenue project of $62,512.50. And the second project is a septic project with the health department 00:24:31.530 --> 00:24:38.270 - of $252,712.91. Second. All right. And then I wanna look to, 00:24:38.402 --> 00:24:48.035 - Are council who looks like, is it good? All right, good, Nerman. All right, we got a motion and a second 00:24:48.035 --> 00:24:57.392 - to de-appropriate. Is there any other final questions or comments from council virtually or in person 00:24:57.392 --> 00:25:08.126 - on this item? All right, seeing none, maybe please have a roll call vote. Councilor Deckard? Yes. Councilor Iverson? 00:25:08.898 --> 00:25:18.982 - Councilor Fine, Councilor Will, Councilor Henry? Yes. Councilor Crossley? Yes. Motion passes unanimous. 00:25:18.982 --> 00:25:28.678 - All right, thank you for that. Great. So, yeah. Just so we're on the same page, now that we've made 00:25:28.678 --> 00:25:37.598 - that deappropriation, we know that the three projects in total are asking for $1.3 million. 00:25:39.298 --> 00:25:46.271 - What is the playing field right now that now that we made that day appropriate? Where do we stand? Can 00:25:46.271 --> 00:25:53.312 - you bring us back to kind of where things are? I think at this point you need to determine across these 00:25:53.312 --> 00:26:00.217 - three projects, where are you going to appropriate that $315,000? And like I mentioned, I would leave 00:26:00.217 --> 00:26:07.123 - some wiggle room and cars so that we can make some last minute pivots. I would not personally max out 00:26:07.123 --> 00:26:09.086 - to that $214,000 and change. 00:26:09.794 --> 00:26:31.998 - That's complicated because we don't know the future. 00:26:39.938 --> 00:26:50.175 - Go for it. I have a question perhaps for somebody who has an answer maybe about the septic project because 00:26:50.175 --> 00:26:59.742 - it looks like there's more than, and maybe I'm not reading the numbers quite correctly, but there's 00:26:59.742 --> 00:27:09.118 - still more that is being spent. There's an estimate for how much won't be spent. Is that correct? 00:27:09.346 --> 00:27:16.204 - It's not the same number. Correct. So the amount that you're seeing for the D appropriation is the amount 00:27:16.204 --> 00:27:23.128 - that they have not entered into contracts with homeowners and vendors to complete the projects. So there's 00:27:23.128 --> 00:27:29.727 - no more, there are no more anticipated contracts to be signed. Correct. The issue with septic is that 00:27:29.727 --> 00:27:32.574 - their work is heavily dependent on weather. 00:27:32.738 --> 00:27:41.000 - So if they can't get septics in the ground, they can't bill us and therefore we can't spend that money. 00:27:41.000 --> 00:27:49.342 - So that's where the ability to pivot and do a ledger correction very quickly would be really beneficial. 00:27:49.342 --> 00:27:57.684 - So are you saying that that is a project that you feel not complete even what it says it's contractually 00:27:57.684 --> 00:27:58.558 - obligated? 00:27:59.298 --> 00:28:07.770 - Because there's a chance for all of these projects, but I would say of the projects that has the higher 00:28:07.770 --> 00:28:15.753 - likelihood of coming in under budget. Got it. OK. And there won't be any issue with the contract. 00:28:15.753 --> 00:28:23.980 - I mean, I assume that if they can't get the work done by the date, which is not the end of the year, 00:28:23.980 --> 00:28:28.542 - I mean, how would you all have that figured out, right? 00:28:29.026 --> 00:28:36.952 - Like we will be able to have time to get money back from a committed contract that isn't going to be 00:28:36.952 --> 00:28:45.035 - fulfilled in time to. We gave a recommendation to the legal department to amend all of those contracts 00:28:45.035 --> 00:28:52.962 - to have a date that they had to submit the invoice to us and have the work completed. I believe that 00:28:52.962 --> 00:28:57.278 - date was in October, but I would have to double check. 00:28:58.018 --> 00:29:09.803 - It's been a minute since I've had that conversation, but I believe all of those contracts have a deadline 00:29:09.803 --> 00:29:21.255 - in them. That's important. I will move forward, trusting that. So if I'm understanding this correctly, 00:29:21.255 --> 00:29:24.702 - for the auditor's office, like 00:29:24.898 --> 00:29:33.145 - for the ambulances and stormwater, we could essentially, what you're saying is like, we could essentially 00:29:33.145 --> 00:29:41.081 - max out those two lines and leave Karst open in case there is some projects that come under, which it 00:29:41.081 --> 00:29:48.862 - sounds like it possibly will. So therefore they would be able to spend that dollars pretty quickly. 00:29:50.114 --> 00:29:57.518 - and these folks here, but we need to do whatever we need to do for ambulance now. So in case that what 00:29:57.518 --> 00:30:04.851 - you have mentioned earlier in terms of like getting invoices to purchase those things, because all of 00:30:04.851 --> 00:30:12.327 - that would take time. OK, the only thing I would recommend is I don't know that I would give parks zero 00:30:12.327 --> 00:30:18.078 - at this point, because if you have I mean, if none of them have another budget, 00:30:20.834 --> 00:30:30.261 - to not give money to them at all from this. Because Kelly has been very good to work with. The fire 00:30:30.261 --> 00:30:40.253 - protection districts has been very good to work with. Both of those entities have been very communicative 00:30:40.253 --> 00:30:50.622 - in the need for their funding. OK. Yes, Commissioner Thomas. Thank you. Right. It sounds like both the septic 00:30:51.074 --> 00:30:58.196 - contracts and also when the airport will know more about whether or not they need 50,000, because they 00:30:58.196 --> 00:31:05.525 - don't even know that right now, is October. The quickest turnaround will probably be not to the ambulance 00:31:05.525 --> 00:31:12.578 - service because they have to get the invoices and the claims on all of that, but to Karst. So I think 00:31:12.578 --> 00:31:15.966 - that timing is going to be important to consider 00:31:16.066 --> 00:31:24.990 - I'm not sure what can be done today in terms of votes, but we certainly can have a discussion about 00:31:24.990 --> 00:31:34.093 - this among the commissioners and send you back our recommendation for this funding. I don't know what 00:31:34.093 --> 00:31:43.106 - was advertised for today specifically in terms of allocations or if it has to be done at one of your 00:31:43.106 --> 00:31:45.694 - regular meetings. Thank you. 00:31:51.586 --> 00:31:57.971 - So to, yeah, can you answer that concern from Commissioner Thomas? Yes, so the advertisements allow 00:31:57.971 --> 00:32:04.483 - for you guys to de-appropriate and appropriate within the open projects. I think we're good as far as 00:32:04.483 --> 00:32:10.868 - advertisements go. I would not recommend leaving this amount of money de-appropriated. I would make 00:32:10.868 --> 00:32:17.316 - sure to appropriate it somewhere since you guys have already de-appropriated. Right, and technically 00:32:17.316 --> 00:32:19.870 - in a perfect world if we all were here, 00:32:20.162 --> 00:32:28.581 - We wouldn't have to do one half here, one half there, because we could have done this all in one setting. 00:32:28.581 --> 00:32:36.523 - So the purpose was for all of us to do this together. But again, fate happens and we're split right 00:32:36.523 --> 00:32:44.544 - now, much like a lot. So, yes, Councilor Henry. Thank you. Carly, do we know from the fire district, 00:32:44.544 --> 00:32:47.006 - that's a very specific number. 00:32:47.106 --> 00:32:54.728 - Do they have equipment in mind? I mean, I'm presuming he's got a list of things he wants to buy. So 00:32:54.728 --> 00:33:02.349 - it's in the packet. So the question about invoices and claims, I mean, it looks like there's a list 00:33:02.349 --> 00:33:10.352 - here of things that they're ready to go with if they were funded. Is that fair to say? Yeah. Yes, that's 00:33:10.352 --> 00:33:15.230 - fair to say. So that might be a little more expedited than what 00:33:16.354 --> 00:33:23.452 - What was presented here? Okay, go on, I'm sorry, I know there's an echo, go on. The Fire Protection 00:33:23.452 --> 00:33:30.692 - District is here and can speak on the next steps if they were to get funding today, would you like to 00:33:30.692 --> 00:33:38.145 - hear from them? Madam President, I would, but I defer to you in the room. Yeah, I was kind of whispering 00:33:38.145 --> 00:33:45.598 - to them if they needed to go ahead and come on up, so y'all come on up. Hello, Deputy Chief Matt Bright. 00:33:45.890 --> 00:33:53.748 - Yeah, I think at this point we stand ready to expend any of those items. Excuse me, can you get closer 00:33:53.748 --> 00:34:01.529 - to the mic or pull it closer so that we can all hear you? Is that better? Yes. Okay. Yeah, I think at 00:34:01.529 --> 00:34:09.311 - this point we stand ready to expend funds on any of those items. I think predominantly the stretchers 00:34:09.311 --> 00:34:13.278 - and power loads at the top are my highest priority. 00:34:13.890 --> 00:34:19.917 - In the ambulance world, those represent a single point of failure for us. And if that happens, we're 00:34:19.917 --> 00:34:25.943 - not transporting patients. So having that redundancy in those items is pretty important. I think our 00:34:25.943 --> 00:34:31.910 - next highest priority is probably in some of the aging electronic stuff. You know, as we've merged, 00:34:31.910 --> 00:34:35.550 - we've expanded quite a bit of district and kind of inherited 00:34:35.682 --> 00:34:41.840 - a lot of electronic devices and stuff from the various departments. We've got a lot of items that are 00:34:41.840 --> 00:34:47.877 - kind of approaching the end of their lifetime. So the tablets, we use those for our patient reports 00:34:47.877 --> 00:34:54.216 - and stuff in the ambulance and things like that, as well as our mobile radios to communicate. So I think 00:34:54.216 --> 00:35:00.253 - those would probably be some of my higher priority items. I thought I just saw Chief Diller has his 00:35:00.253 --> 00:35:05.566 - hand raised via Teams. So you're able to unmute. You can join the conversation as well. 00:35:11.106 --> 00:35:17.903 - I think just to add to what Deputy Chief Bright mentioned and Councilor Henry, with the exception of 00:35:17.903 --> 00:35:24.633 - those station alerting systems, I mean, we could move as quickly as ordering things tomorrow. These 00:35:24.633 --> 00:35:31.565 - items are items that could be ordered and placed into service relatively quickly. The station alerting 00:35:31.565 --> 00:35:36.478 - systems take a little bit more time. Each station's got to be, you know, 00:35:36.898 --> 00:35:45.064 - looked at by those vendors and, you know, they designed that system to go in there. So that takes a 00:35:45.064 --> 00:35:53.720 - little bit of time, but the rest of the items, we can move very swiftly. Council Henry, does that satisfy 00:35:53.720 --> 00:36:02.376 - your questions? Yeah, it does. Thank you. We appreciate it. You're welcome. Okay. Thank you. Does anybody 00:36:02.376 --> 00:36:06.622 - else have any questions for? Yes. Councilor Decker. 00:36:08.290 --> 00:36:14.999 - I don't have a question so much as I have a comment that I think. It's not lost on anyone here, but 00:36:14.999 --> 00:36:21.910 - I always like to bring it up that we have to be increasingly mindful about ambulance use in the county 00:36:21.910 --> 00:36:28.887 - and the demand on that. And some of us have experienced that personally and know that the fire district 00:36:28.887 --> 00:36:35.798 - is responding in this service to a need that we've got, and we've had some shortfalls in the community 00:36:35.798 --> 00:36:36.670 - in the past. 00:36:36.866 --> 00:36:44.328 - I'm not casting aspersions on that or blame because I think that goes all the way around to all of us. 00:36:44.328 --> 00:36:51.646 - But I think that the ambulance services is fulfilling a need that's robustly out there and something 00:36:51.646 --> 00:36:59.035 - that everybody experiences at some point or another, unfortunately. So I was glad to see this on this 00:36:59.035 --> 00:37:05.918 - list and would like to see us do as much as we reasonably can while we're doing this mix here. 00:37:08.962 --> 00:37:15.814 - Thank you so much. Anybody else have any questions or comments for the fire department? Yes. Councillor 00:37:15.814 --> 00:37:22.403 - Wilks. Okay. I'm sorry. You said for the fire department and my brain was already ahead. I'm sorry. 00:37:22.403 --> 00:37:29.189 - It's for something else. No, you're totally fine. So it sounds like we're done with questions for you. 00:37:29.189 --> 00:37:33.406 - Thank you very much. No, you're totally fine. Councillor Wilks. 00:37:33.666 --> 00:37:42.834 - proceed regarding the other two, then I feel like, um, well, if we've got Ms. Whitmer here, 00:37:42.834 --> 00:37:52.999 - maybe we could, um, I have a question about the parks specifically, and it's in, with respect to, um, 00:37:52.999 --> 00:38:02.366 - what Ms. Woodruff said about the money being able to be used for paving in, in cars farm and, 00:38:03.234 --> 00:38:11.559 - I'm the liaison, so I received an email from you, Ms. Whittner, not too long ago that indicated that 00:38:11.559 --> 00:38:19.967 - it was about a million dollars in paving. Is that correct? Correct. But with anything, whatever money 00:38:19.967 --> 00:38:28.622 - we have, that's all we will do. And this is related to? The trucks that came in and crushed our asphalt. 00:38:28.622 --> 00:38:32.414 - Now our asphalt was only to begin with. Yeah. 00:38:32.866 --> 00:38:40.983 - actually 30 years, we've never had a renovation of asphalt. So back in the day, asphalt just showed 00:38:40.983 --> 00:38:49.099 - up, but now it doesn't, now it can't do that anymore. Just showed up. Okay, so that's, okay, that's 00:38:49.099 --> 00:38:57.784 - the need that's being addressed there is a need for paving back to those new fields. Correct. Essentially, 00:38:57.784 --> 00:39:02.654 - okay. Our parts that have been falling off and we've. Okay. 00:39:03.010 --> 00:39:14.603 - Um, I just wanted to make sure that's what the connection was. Okay. Okay. Very heavy trucks. Yes. 00:39:14.603 --> 00:39:26.431 - Thank you. And so there's, well, I'm thinking of was what with what was just saying in terms of, um, 00:39:26.431 --> 00:39:32.286 - funding technically and thinking of other places. 00:39:32.546 --> 00:39:40.014 - besides ARPA, we have other funding, like use of potentially edit, so to speak, if that is a thing. 00:39:40.014 --> 00:39:47.557 - Right, right, of course. I definitely am not saying that we don't need to give anything, obviously I 00:39:47.557 --> 00:39:55.026 - wanna go with that recommendation, but considering what we have versus the ask of like, you know, a 00:39:55.026 --> 00:40:01.822 - million and other projects, I'm just, I wanna be able to give her what she needs and then, 00:40:01.954 --> 00:40:10.150 - try to tap into other sources of revenue to give them what they need as well. Okay. Are there questions 00:40:10.150 --> 00:40:18.426 - or comments? All right, seeing none, yes, Councilor Iverson. So I do think it was really helpful hearing 00:40:18.426 --> 00:40:26.543 - you two talk about, this is the Monroe County Fire Protection District, talking about the projects and 00:40:26.543 --> 00:40:30.878 - kind of prioritizing your list. That's always helpful. 00:40:31.554 --> 00:40:39.405 - given the situation, and it's really helpful to hear kind of what's going on at the Karst farm. I think 00:40:39.405 --> 00:40:46.955 - I've been kind of divvying things up in a mix on a spreadsheet here, and I don't know if we need to 00:40:46.955 --> 00:40:55.033 - get to that point tonight to make a recommendation about how to divvy up that 315,000, but I think hearing 00:40:55.033 --> 00:40:58.430 - your prioritization really helped with that. 00:41:00.066 --> 00:41:07.532 - And it sounds like from the auditor's office, because we've already de-appropriated, you know, those 00:41:07.532 --> 00:41:14.997 - types of things, the recommendation would be that we do something instead of just leaving it kind of 00:41:14.997 --> 00:41:22.020 - flapping in the wind. And then again, we would do what we need to do here. And then pass those 00:41:22.020 --> 00:41:28.894 - recommendations to the commissioners, the office to have a discussion for possible approval. 00:41:30.850 --> 00:41:39.212 - Yes. Do you, do you recommend that we then, um, move to appropriate pending approval by the commissioners 00:41:39.212 --> 00:41:47.180 - so that we get that done and they don't have to re-advertise appropriation? So yes, the motion would 00:41:47.180 --> 00:41:55.147 - be contingent on, um, commissioner approval of the project. Okay. And then as Woodruff, I would also 00:41:55.147 --> 00:41:59.486 - ask that then your D appropriation also be contingent. 00:41:59.682 --> 00:42:08.265 - so that we don't have a de-appropriation without an appropriation. So we'll have to go back and have 00:42:08.265 --> 00:42:17.019 - Councilor Iverson restate the motion. That just helps with everything remaining obligated. Okay. Okay. 00:42:17.019 --> 00:42:25.602 - And I think I saw Commissioner Thomas is hanging back up again. Yes, I'm sorry. Thank you. Here's my 00:42:25.602 --> 00:42:26.622 - suggestion. 00:42:27.010 --> 00:42:34.839 - y'all can do what you want to do tonight. Obviously, we know we're shorthanded, but we can 00:42:34.839 --> 00:42:43.615 - get a recommendation to you before your next meeting, okay? And so I don't know if there's any way to 00:42:43.615 --> 00:42:52.305 - put this on for ratification at your next meet. I don't know how you wanna do that, but we could get 00:42:52.305 --> 00:42:55.230 - you that information by then and, 00:42:55.842 --> 00:43:05.773 - and that will also indicate where we stand as a board. Does that help? Well, and I'm seeing some heads 00:43:05.773 --> 00:43:16.089 - shaking here in the room with the auditor's office, because again, they're saying we need to do something. 00:43:16.089 --> 00:43:24.766 - So technically, what we can do is we could technically, all of this is contingent, right? 00:43:24.866 --> 00:43:32.534 - we could say this is contingent upon approval and then pass the ball to the commissioners. And then 00:43:32.534 --> 00:43:40.432 - at our next meeting, if there is something that needs to be retweeted and changed, it could be brought 00:43:40.432 --> 00:43:43.806 - back to us then, correct, Ms. Turner-Keene? 00:43:44.034 --> 00:43:50.441 - As an alternative approach, you could table the deappropriation and the appropriation to the 14th meeting, 00:43:50.441 --> 00:43:56.668 - and that gives the commissioners the time to make their recommendation. And then at the council meeting 00:43:56.668 --> 00:44:02.895 - on the 14th, you can handle the deappropriations and the appropriation. And that would also not require 00:44:02.895 --> 00:44:08.943 - re-advertisement. I do want to say it has been advertised for both meetings. So what you could do is 00:44:08.943 --> 00:44:13.374 - you could wait till next meeting, or you could do your contingencies now. 00:44:13.474 --> 00:44:21.366 - and if they fall through, then you could amend those and do that at the next meeting. So you have many 00:44:21.366 --> 00:44:29.182 - options. Okay. And I saw two hands go up virtually. So I saw Council Member Henry's hand up first and 00:44:29.182 --> 00:44:36.920 - then I'll go back to Councilor Decker next. Yeah, thank you. So I just saw I understand the workflow 00:44:36.920 --> 00:44:40.062 - here. So the open requests that came in, 00:44:40.194 --> 00:44:52.777 - that we don't have requests from other open projects, right? That's correct. Okay, so having said that, 00:44:52.777 --> 00:45:05.359 - and I'm looking at three items that are here, and I think, you know, in my mind, like I think Councilor 00:45:05.359 --> 00:45:10.078 - Iverson mentioned, you know, trying to 00:45:10.242 --> 00:45:17.328 - come up with proportions or whatever. I'm looking at three things here. But Commissioner Thomas, you 00:45:17.328 --> 00:45:24.414 - had mentioned something about septic and regional counties as an idea. Are we to expect if the Board 00:45:24.414 --> 00:45:31.500 - of Commissioners meets that we'll have additions to this list? Are you looking to add septic to this 00:45:31.500 --> 00:45:39.358 - list or are these the three items that you'll be discussing? These will be the three items. I mentioned septic, 00:45:39.458 --> 00:45:48.122 - because it's a different funding source, not related to ARPA. So we're gonna continue working on getting 00:45:48.122 --> 00:45:56.704 - more septic service, better septic service in our community. Other ways. Yeah. So no, just what's here. 00:45:56.704 --> 00:46:05.038 - Councilor Decker. Well, my question is, we can't table a de-appropriation because I think we already 00:46:05.038 --> 00:46:07.678 - voted to de-appropriate, right? 00:46:08.098 --> 00:46:15.522 - If we're following the best housekeeping items of how to handle this fiscally, we'd need a counselor 00:46:15.522 --> 00:46:23.019 - with some sort of motion so that it kicks it to commissioners. Commissioners either accept it or send 00:46:23.019 --> 00:46:30.516 - it back or what have you and triggers that process. I'm not offering to do that necessarily, but what 00:46:30.516 --> 00:46:35.294 - I think we already voted to be appropriate. Yeah, I would agree. 00:46:35.906 --> 00:46:44.450 - Okay counselor Iverson did you have your hand raised? I did not have my hand raised. Okay so essentially 00:46:44.450 --> 00:46:52.750 - what it sounds like we should do is since we've already voted is maybe make would you agree counselor 00:46:52.750 --> 00:46:59.422 - Decker that we should do you agree with the notion that we should go ahead and um 00:47:00.834 --> 00:47:09.094 - Council Iverson's first motion on deappropriation, if he restates that and make that contingent upon 00:47:09.094 --> 00:47:17.273 - Commissioner's approval, is that what you're saying? I thought we already roll called that original 00:47:17.273 --> 00:47:25.452 - deappropriation, so now those dollars are deappropriated and have to be appropriated. But if I have 00:47:25.452 --> 00:47:29.950 - that wrong, somebody correct me. Yeah, and he did. OK. 00:47:30.658 --> 00:47:37.482 - So we have a couple options ahead of us, right? So we could re appropriate what I just D appropriated 00:47:37.482 --> 00:47:44.240 - and get us back to square one. And that would meet that would give the commissioners time to do what 00:47:44.240 --> 00:47:50.998 - they need to do. And then we can do all this at our next meeting. Option number two is I could amend 00:47:50.998 --> 00:47:58.157 - my motion contingent upon the commissioners action. We can move forward to the motion on the appropriation 00:47:58.157 --> 00:47:59.294 - of this 315,000. 00:48:00.002 --> 00:48:07.693 - depending on commissioner action. I think those are the two options ahead of us. And either way, we 00:48:07.693 --> 00:48:15.385 - are good for our next meeting because it's already been advertised. Right. Okay. Do you go and then 00:48:15.385 --> 00:48:23.230 - I'll go to Ms. Turner King. I think that option two makes a lot of sense because there was no need to 00:48:23.230 --> 00:48:27.614 - keep touching the same topic over and over again, unless 00:48:28.290 --> 00:48:35.158 - And this is the second point I had. It's important that we acknowledge that we are making these 00:48:35.158 --> 00:48:42.670 - appropriations in the spirit of a recommendation to the commissioners. It's not that we're telling them. 00:48:42.670 --> 00:48:49.824 - I mean, I think just to be fair, it is important to mention that. And that's the contention upon is 00:48:49.824 --> 00:48:57.694 - the fact that we would be making a recommendation if we had all the time in the world. That would be correct. 00:48:58.210 --> 00:49:05.866 - Okay, you're welcome. No, you're totally fine. Ms. Turner King. And though procedurally to the option 00:49:05.866 --> 00:49:13.598 - to which Mr. Iverson identified, you can't amend the motion because it's already been passed. So you'd 00:49:13.598 --> 00:49:21.104 - be making a new motion to make the previous motion contingent. Yes, that is yes. Okay. So Councilor 00:49:21.104 --> 00:49:27.710 - Iverson, would you? Okay, so let me throw two things out there and Council Member Wilts 00:49:28.258 --> 00:49:37.380 - please let me know. The first way I thought about this was splitting up the 315 in terms of starting 00:49:37.380 --> 00:49:46.862 - with the airport. We max out the airport at $50,000. Then we provide the ambulances with the replacement 00:49:46.862 --> 00:49:56.435 - stretchers and the tablets for $167,500. And then the remainder is given to the parks. That's $97,725.41. 00:49:56.435 --> 00:49:57.790 - An alternative 00:49:58.242 --> 00:50:08.483 - would be to start with round numbers. The park's $100,000, the ambulance is $200,000, and the airport 00:50:08.483 --> 00:50:18.523 - would get the remainder of $15,225.41. So I can go either way. It's a matter of where do you start? 00:50:18.523 --> 00:50:27.358 - Councillor Henry. Yeah, thanks. So Councillor Iverson, so option B, are you just taking 00:50:27.714 --> 00:50:35.650 - to get to what seems like two-thirds for the fire protection, a third for the parks. Is that how you 00:50:35.650 --> 00:50:43.743 - got there? That's exactly right. Yeah, the sum of both of those options needs to be $315,225.41. Yeah, 00:50:43.743 --> 00:50:52.150 - I had similar math at my end. I was more like $60.40, but I could support that option B. Hold on. Whenever 00:50:52.150 --> 00:50:57.022 - I speak confidently, it seems like Carly has her hand raised. 00:50:59.170 --> 00:51:07.724 - and missed the number, but can you just restate how much you would give to parks? In the option one. 00:51:07.724 --> 00:51:16.364 - Option two. Option two, $100,000. Okay, thank you. Yeah. Does the auditor just have to see any issues 00:51:16.364 --> 00:51:19.582 - with what Councilor Iveson mentioned? 00:51:24.578 --> 00:51:33.954 - The only issue would be that if the airport project does overrun, they would have to pay for those expenses 00:51:33.954 --> 00:51:42.982 - out of a different fund. And the same presumably with the ambulances. $200,000 doesn't get you anywhere 00:51:42.982 --> 00:51:50.014 - close, but at least gets you those stretchers and maybe some of the electronics. 00:51:55.362 --> 00:52:01.212 - Does anybody have any questions, comments, or concerns about either of those options? Why don't you 00:52:01.212 --> 00:52:07.061 - just go through the option two numbers for me one more time? I don't think I have it right here. My 00:52:07.061 --> 00:52:13.028 - math isn't working. I got option one down. So option two numbers again. Option two, let's go in order 00:52:13.028 --> 00:52:19.111 - that it's on. Karst Fields Project would get $100,000. Monroe Fire Protection District ambulances would 00:52:19.111 --> 00:52:22.270 - get $200,000. And the airport would get the remainder 00:52:22.498 --> 00:52:31.563 - which is $15,225.41. That's what I couldn't figure out. It's the remainder. Thank you. All right. Okay. 00:52:31.563 --> 00:52:39.931 - So option. I'm hearing a consensus on option two. Yeah, that's what I was gonna say. All right. 00:52:39.931 --> 00:52:49.694 - All right. Council, I move to, let's get my language correct here. I move to appropriate. If I may Mr. Iverson. 00:52:49.890 --> 00:53:00.378 - I think you should make the de-appropriation motion first. So council, I move to de-appropriate $315,225.41, 00:53:00.378 --> 00:53:10.192 - which is the jail locks and the septic. Wait a minute. I think the motion would be I move to make the 00:53:10.192 --> 00:53:16.542 - prior de-appropriation of $315,200. Conditional. Yeah. All right. 00:53:17.634 --> 00:53:26.288 - So I move to make my prior motion on the appropriation conditional upon action by the Monroe County 00:53:26.288 --> 00:53:35.115 - Commissioners. Second. Is that clear? I don't know how it couldn't be any more clear what we're doing 00:53:35.115 --> 00:53:41.086 - here, friends. We spent a lot of time on these technicalities. Okay. 00:53:41.346 --> 00:53:50.134 - So it sounds like we're all good here and no other further questions or comments. So maybe please have 00:53:50.134 --> 00:53:58.837 - a roll call vote. You have to second. I second it. Me? Thank you. You're welcome. OK, so this is just 00:53:58.837 --> 00:54:07.966 - for the motion. The prior motion is conditional upon the board of commissioners approval. Is that correct? 00:54:11.266 --> 00:54:21.639 - Councilor Iverson? Yes. Councilor Feidl? Yes. Councilor Wilts? Yes. Councilor Henry? Yes. Councilor 00:54:21.639 --> 00:54:32.219 - Crossley? Yes. Councilor Decker? Yes. Motion passes unanimous. Thank you. Next up. All right. Council 00:54:32.219 --> 00:54:40.414 - contingent on County Commissioner action, I move to appropriate the following. 00:54:40.610 --> 00:54:50.354 - $100,000 in Project 37 Karst Fields Project, $200,000 in Project 14 MFPD ambulances, and $15,225.41 00:54:50.354 --> 00:55:00.389 - in Project 38 Airport Stormwater Drainage. Second. Okay, we got a motion and a second. Any other final 00:55:00.389 --> 00:55:08.574 - questions or comments, even though I think we've exhausted those, but just in case. 00:55:10.082 --> 00:55:21.187 - All right, and seeing none, may we please have a roll call vote. Councilor Feidl? Yes. Councilor Wilk? 00:55:21.187 --> 00:55:32.507 - Yes. Councilor Henry? Yes. Councilor Krueger? Yes. Councilor DeX? Yes. Councilor Iverson? Yes. Councilor 00:55:32.507 --> 00:55:39.838 - Feidl? Yes. Motion passes unanimous. All right, thank you for that. 00:55:40.386 --> 00:55:52.127 - So we are good on the ARPA conversations. It looks like. There was a recommendation from the auditor's 00:55:52.127 --> 00:56:03.982 - office that at some point, and maybe this can happen later, we make some declaration about what happens 00:56:03.982 --> 00:56:10.366 - to any other projects that don't spend all their funds. 00:56:10.626 --> 00:56:19.577 - and direct what they should be doing with that. Is that something you want us to do now? I would love 00:56:19.577 --> 00:56:28.441 - if you could do that now. Okay. Okay. This is about any leftover. Any leftovers. Anywhere. Okay. Did 00:56:28.441 --> 00:56:32.478 - I just move? Yeah. All right. I move that any 00:56:36.930 --> 00:56:49.605 - outside of the emotions that we just did, any other ARPA projects that do not expend all of their obligated 00:56:49.605 --> 00:57:01.693 - funds, have those funds directed to the Karst Farm Fields Projects Project? I think that's it. Second. 00:57:01.693 --> 00:57:05.214 - We got a motion and a second. 00:57:08.642 --> 00:57:19.854 - commissioners pending commissioners actions in approval okay so we got a motion and a second to move 00:57:19.854 --> 00:57:31.511 - any unexpended items to karst contingent upon commissioner approval is there any other further questions 00:57:31.511 --> 00:57:36.062 - comments or discussions on this item the 00:57:36.290 --> 00:57:43.431 - Ms. Woodruff, is there anything to add to this? Are we good? No, I just want to clarify. Whenever, if 00:57:43.431 --> 00:57:50.573 - a project does come up short, we will still send those through council for the appropriation actions. 00:57:50.573 --> 00:57:57.994 - This is just to put on record what our plan is, correct? Right. Great. And if we surpass the lost revenue 00:57:57.994 --> 00:58:05.136 - balance in CARS, we'll chat then, but let's fingers crossed that we don't get there. Okay. All right. 00:58:05.136 --> 00:58:06.046 - Sounds good. 00:58:06.146 --> 00:58:16.487 - Thank you very much. So seeing no other further questions or comments on this item, may we please have 00:58:16.487 --> 00:58:27.029 - a roll call vote. Councillor Wilz? Yes. Councillor Henry? Yes. Councillor Cross? Yes. Councillor Decker? 00:58:27.029 --> 00:58:32.350 - Yes. Councillor Iverson? Yes. Councillor Feidl? Yes. 00:58:32.770 --> 00:58:41.996 - Motion passes unanimously. Thank you for that. And then it looks like item eight is to discuss the determined 00:58:41.996 --> 00:58:50.383 - next steps for the LATCF funding, which again looks like has an expenditure deadline of 12 31 27. I 00:58:50.383 --> 00:58:58.686 - don't know if there is much more to add to that except we got a little bit more time to talk about 00:58:58.946 --> 00:59:06.372 - that so and we've already heard it's it's not something that we need to have expended right now but 00:59:06.372 --> 00:59:14.095 - it sounds like there might be a potential plan that we can put into play and so that particular funding 00:59:14.095 --> 00:59:19.070 - needs to be approved by both bodies is that accurate or in council 00:59:22.530 --> 00:59:28.601 - understanding is that we don't need a plan like we did for ARPA, but it would require a contract, and 00:59:28.601 --> 00:59:34.851 - the contract would go through the commissioners. Right, so that's where the two-star, okay, that's where 00:59:34.851 --> 00:59:41.101 - the two-part process comes into play. Okay, okay, so that makes sense. Okay, but not necessarily needing 00:59:41.101 --> 00:59:47.589 - to have a joint meeting like this again, we could literally do this separate in our own respective meetings. 00:59:47.589 --> 00:59:48.958 - Okay, all right, well, 00:59:50.274 --> 00:59:57.258 - Yes. Do we have some sort of a plan? Because I know 1231 of 27 is a long time out, but when do we expect 00:59:57.258 --> 01:00:03.909 - to get our plan to do that? You know what I mean? When would we want to put that on an agenda, some 01:00:03.909 --> 01:00:10.627 - timeline or something like that? Well, it sounds like from what Councilor Decker and Councilor Woltz 01:00:10.627 --> 01:00:17.278 - was saying with respect to the Headed Home initiatives, that that's still pending right now. And so 01:00:17.506 --> 01:00:25.591 - maybe when they have more of a concrete idea and plan, then that could change at any given moment, it 01:00:25.591 --> 01:00:33.518 - sounds like. So it sounds like, although 27 is a little bit in distance, it sounds like maybe their 01:00:33.518 --> 01:00:41.445 - plan could be coming soon. And so once they have that plan in mind, then of course, we can add that 01:00:41.445 --> 01:00:47.390 - to our agenda and discuss. Exactly. And then do the two part process where 01:00:47.522 --> 01:00:54.525 - We do that part and then pass on to commissioners for approval for the contract. Perfect. Thank you. 01:00:54.525 --> 01:01:01.805 - You're welcome. Is there, Oh, counselor Decker. I was just going to say we can definitely get something. 01:01:01.805 --> 01:01:08.670 - We can officially report back on that and get it out. I'm not trying to be mysterious on anything. 01:01:08.670 --> 01:01:14.910 - It's just, I don't want to get ahead of the experts on this and start saying things until 01:01:15.266 --> 01:01:22.939 - I know what we should say or who should say it or how we should say it. But we can get get really quick 01:01:22.939 --> 01:01:30.318 - on that. Okay. Appreciate that. So more details will be coming. All right. Is there any other final 01:01:30.318 --> 01:01:37.991 - questions, comments or concerns from council on this item? All right. With that being said, have a safe 01:01:37.991 --> 01:01:43.230 - holiday weekend and Oh, counselor Decker, did you have something else? 01:01:44.546 --> 01:01:52.528 - No, I can't control my hand. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. OK. Just me. It's not you. Keep your hands to yourself. 01:01:52.528 --> 01:02:00.510 - All right. With that being said, everybody have a safe and happy holiday. And we are adjourned. Thank you.
