WEBVTT

00:00:00.322 --> 00:00:09.204
- to call to order this work session of the Monroe County Board of Commissioners. We're going to add an

00:00:09.204 --> 00:00:18.174
- item at the end regarding the SUDAC budget, so just for reference for folks. And in the interim, while

00:00:18.174 --> 00:00:27.230
- I'm waiting for this to load, let's hear from the Parks Department, Ms. Whitmer, about nature preserve.

00:00:29.474 --> 00:00:36.882
- Well, I want to talk to you before we really start going down this path to see if this is the path you

00:00:36.882 --> 00:00:44.147
- want to travel. I think you will. We've been working very closely with US Fish and Wildlife Service.

00:00:44.147 --> 00:00:51.340
- And they don't use the word grant. They said it's not a grant. It's just money or programs. However

00:00:51.340 --> 00:00:57.022
- you want to look at it. And we want to plant trees. We want to plant prairies.

00:00:57.122 --> 00:01:02.958
- We're going to be responsible for some money. They're going to be responsible for most of the money.

00:01:02.958 --> 00:01:08.736
- And when I wrote this, this was Tuesday of this week, they called me late last night and said, Hey,

00:01:08.736 --> 00:01:14.515
- we might have another $50,000 for you. Okay, that will require our staff to rearrange and we'd have

00:01:14.515 --> 00:01:20.062
- to rearrange our priorities. But this is a one in lifetime opportunity. This 50 is just because

00:01:20.642 --> 00:01:26.604
- of their financial year is closing down and they're trying to gather money and looking at shovel-ready

00:01:26.604 --> 00:01:32.393
- projects, which, hey, we're the most shovel-ready project there is, plus they think this is once in

00:01:32.393 --> 00:01:38.239
- a lifetime opportunity for Monroe County with this particular piece of property. So in the end, I'll

00:01:38.239 --> 00:01:44.259
- keep this short, and this is fast math because we have to do all the math and we're gonna get this done

00:01:44.259 --> 00:01:47.038
- this week, bring it back to you with contracts.

00:01:47.234 --> 00:01:53.604
- It could be 75 acres of trees. It could be 15 acres of prairie. It could be the U.S. Fish and Wildlife

00:01:53.604 --> 00:01:59.850
- pays $66,000. It could be we pay only $19,000 with our park labor. They actually might bring in some

00:01:59.850 --> 00:02:06.282
- of their labor to help us because this is not what we were planning on Tuesday. This is Wednesday. Now,

00:02:06.282 --> 00:02:12.652
- this is Thursday. This is all great news for the Nature Preserve because we are always planning to put

00:02:12.652 --> 00:02:15.806
- more trees in, always planning to put prairies in.

00:02:16.258 --> 00:02:23.745
- We just have to figure out how to manage it and how to maintain it with also the funds from the trust.

00:02:23.745 --> 00:02:31.378
- And that's going to have to hire people to we all realize that we just have to move faster and different

00:02:31.378 --> 00:02:38.720
- now. But we want to make sure this is the path that you all think is good for the nature preserve. I

00:02:38.720 --> 00:02:41.918
- like the word path. Yes. This is brilliant.

00:02:42.210 --> 00:02:50.399
- It's brilliant and cannot thank you enough for being so creative in thinking about this. And I know

00:02:50.399 --> 00:02:59.079
- there's been a lot of discussion about what goes where, when, and how, and you've got that sort of mapped

00:02:59.079 --> 00:03:07.349
- out in a big way, right? And to me, this is just such a great opportunity and rarely does news about

00:03:07.349 --> 00:03:11.198
- funding get better over time. So glom onto it.

00:03:11.490 --> 00:03:17.458
- I'm on board. I'm on board personally. Do you have questions or comments? No, I'm definitely on board.

00:03:17.458 --> 00:03:23.483
- This is awesome. Thank you. OK. And County Legal is also going to put an exhibit to any agreements that

00:03:23.483 --> 00:03:29.682
- we make with US Fish and Wildlife to talk about the Huntington Trust and recreational purposes. So they're

00:03:29.682 --> 00:03:35.592
- aware of where we are in the world and where they're in the world. And everything we're doing is also

00:03:35.592 --> 00:03:39.358
- getting proofread, as I said, or by the Indiana State Biologist.

00:03:39.522 --> 00:03:46.121
- So we have the U.S. biologists, the state biologists, all free, helping us out. And Monroe County Soil

00:03:46.121 --> 00:03:52.719
- and Water has been instrumental in bringing everyone together. And I have to say, you moving them into

00:03:52.719 --> 00:03:59.382
- the showers building has been very advantageous for us being physically close. So I can find them every

00:03:59.382 --> 00:04:05.789
- day. And I've heard the same from Stormwater and I've heard the same from them about Stormwater and

00:04:05.789 --> 00:04:07.262
- parks and planning and

00:04:07.778 --> 00:04:15.822
- It's huge. I mean, it's just, I'm so glad it worked out. I'm so grateful. It is good. And like I said,

00:04:15.822 --> 00:04:23.710
- we are also working with pheasants and quail forever in the Turkey Federation. Purdue University has

00:04:23.710 --> 00:04:31.520
- helped us out. Monroe Lake Watershed Group has been involved immensely in stormwater. Oh, Erica was

00:04:31.520 --> 00:04:34.878
- there. So everyone's pitching in for free.

00:04:35.522 --> 00:04:41.948
- We probably have the best minds in the entire state here figuring out what we should do, when we should

00:04:41.948 --> 00:04:48.126
- do it, and how we should do it. So I'm getting a lot of calls from the neighbors and whatnot. And I

00:04:48.126 --> 00:04:54.491
- keep promising them. I said, we have the best advice. It's going to be absolutely gorgeous. It's going

00:04:54.491 --> 00:05:00.916
- to take a few years. Everyone set tight. I may have to move priorities around to stay within my budget.

00:05:00.916 --> 00:05:03.326
- Everyone just hold on. It'll get done.

00:05:03.586 --> 00:05:10.090
- I think it's just fabulous and I welcome the opportunity to review a contract about this. And I mean,

00:05:10.090 --> 00:05:16.594
- because I know, for example, Martha Miller at Soil and Water Conservation District is a big, huge fan

00:05:16.594 --> 00:05:23.034
- of the prairie grasses and the prairie growth, the flowers and their pollinators. I mean, it's just,

00:05:23.034 --> 00:05:29.602
- you do have the best experience and minds working on this, including your own. I know you wouldn't say

00:05:29.602 --> 00:05:30.750
- that, but I will.

00:05:31.202 --> 00:05:38.047
- you understand parks, you understand the community in a way that a state biologist might not too. So

00:05:38.047 --> 00:05:45.027
- I appreciate that. Oh, and another thing is we've also be coming with a contract with we have a farmer

00:05:45.027 --> 00:05:52.007
- that is working with the trust, but we also need to work with this farmer to plant beans to leave, not

00:05:52.007 --> 00:05:59.258
- to harvest. County legal has looked this over and everything is OK because this helps prepare our prairies

00:05:59.258 --> 00:06:00.478
- and our trees and

00:06:00.994 --> 00:06:07.679
- to make sure all the animals have enough food. So you'll be seeing that contract come through and you

00:06:07.679 --> 00:06:14.298
- go, why are we doing this? It's all part of the environmental plan. I appreciate you're able to spin

00:06:14.298 --> 00:06:21.180
- so many plates at one time and get such a great result. No other questions? Good. Yeah. All right. We'll

00:06:21.180 --> 00:06:27.799
- keep going. You'll see them. Thank you. That's really good news. I'm excited. Absolutely. All right.

00:06:27.799 --> 00:06:30.814
- And be sure to take a lot of before pictures.

00:06:31.074 --> 00:06:39.888
- you know, like drone shots or whatever, because it's going to look really different. It's going to be

00:06:39.888 --> 00:06:48.787
- beautiful. Yeah. All right. Next resolution 2026-10B. Would you go ahead and make a motion to approve?

00:06:48.787 --> 00:06:57.774
- I would like to approve resolution 2026-10B, amendment regarding transfer property to the Monroe County

00:06:57.774 --> 00:07:00.798
- Capital Improvement Board. Second.

00:07:04.066 --> 00:07:10.797
- Yes. And, uh, Jeff Cockerill, Monroe County legal department, uh, at the last meeting you approved the

00:07:10.797 --> 00:07:17.724
- resolution 10. Um, this is 10 B we did at that meeting. We did, we had a request to meet with my sister's

00:07:17.724 --> 00:07:24.325
- closet and the capital improvement board. I will say that did occur. And what I'm about to say is an

00:07:24.325 --> 00:07:30.991
- outcome of, of, you know, kind of the discussion that we had, what I had with the capital improvement

00:07:30.991 --> 00:07:33.278
- board. Um, they were asking about,

00:07:33.634 --> 00:07:39.600
- really two things and one of them made it into this and apparently I did not forward the most up-to-date

00:07:39.600 --> 00:07:45.793
- version when I sent this in so I'll tell you about that but there were two things one was what it references

00:07:45.793 --> 00:07:51.702
- sort of our historic properties historic districts and things like that working with John Baten talking

00:07:51.702 --> 00:07:57.555
- to him that's not that's that's not clear that these properties have that kind of historic designation

00:07:57.555 --> 00:07:59.998
- so we're taking that out of the resolution

00:08:00.802 --> 00:08:08.067
- in a day if it does, it does, right? But it certainly is not clear to be right now. And then the second

00:08:08.067 --> 00:08:15.122
- is there was an inconsistency with the potential to transfer that day. The whereas clauses says when

00:08:15.122 --> 00:08:22.317
- the justice center is complete, the actual language in the ordinance said after the November election,

00:08:22.317 --> 00:08:27.486
- kind of want to make that both read after the justice center is complete.

00:08:28.322 --> 00:08:33.730
- just internally consistent with the documents, I will say that the CIV would rather work out an arrangement

00:08:33.730 --> 00:08:38.787
- with the with the board of commissioners and the county to get that transferred earlier and preserve

00:08:38.787 --> 00:08:43.994
- that kind of preserve the parking needs that the county would have through a contract or something like

00:08:43.994 --> 00:08:48.851
- that, as opposed to delaying the transfer. But that but this would allow that to happen as well.

00:08:48.851 --> 00:08:52.606
- So I mean, it says you may withhold it. It doesn't say you have to. Right.

00:08:58.498 --> 00:09:05.372
- Was there something about your conversation with? Oh, I mean, it was an initial conversation. I think

00:09:05.372 --> 00:09:12.179
- it was clear that the C.I.B. had the C.I.B. didn't have the full board there. They have. They really

00:09:12.179 --> 00:09:18.986
- and it was clear that the leadership at that meeting hadn't talked with the rest of the members. And

00:09:18.986 --> 00:09:25.995
- so they were just it was kind of fact finding. I think it went really well. I actually between meetings

00:09:25.995 --> 00:09:27.006
- was talking to

00:09:27.842 --> 00:09:34.001
- our building commissioner, because there are some questions about timing and timelines that came out

00:09:34.001 --> 00:09:40.039
- of that meeting. I think I talked with some other local landlords in the downtown area, including,

00:09:40.039 --> 00:09:46.442
- you know, what do we have as far as some kind of interim use for a couple months? So there's some moving

00:09:46.442 --> 00:09:52.785
- parts there, but it was a good, I guess we delineated the needs very well, the needs of the my sister's

00:09:52.785 --> 00:09:55.102
- closets and kind of where the CID is.

00:09:55.490 --> 00:10:00.956
- in terms of their process. So we're trying to work and see how those will all get together. I think

00:10:00.956 --> 00:10:06.751
- everybody left the meeting fairly positive, but knowing that there weren't any decisions made and there's

00:10:06.751 --> 00:10:12.436
- a lot of work to have. Sure. And of course, yeah, I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that we'll

00:10:12.436 --> 00:10:18.066
- do what we can. If there's anything we can do as a county to help provide a temporary space or storage

00:10:18.066 --> 00:10:23.806
- or something, if that's what they need, we'll figure it out. I mean, it's such a great organization, but

00:10:23.906 --> 00:10:30.659
- But really the fact that they we gave them a reduction in rents and then it's it's we've been as as

00:10:30.659 --> 00:10:37.479
- kind and generous as we could be to help them get into their new location, which is also going to be

00:10:37.479 --> 00:10:44.300
- very exciting. But and then on the historic side, this doesn't preclude the city of Bloomington from

00:10:44.300 --> 00:10:51.188
- a historic investigation into the buildings, but it doesn't require it because this isn't necessarily

00:10:51.188 --> 00:10:52.606
- a historic district.

00:10:53.154 --> 00:10:59.766
- Correct. Taking that out doesn't change any processes that are available to anybody. It's just not having

00:10:59.766 --> 00:11:06.003
- the conclusion that hasn't been made yet included in the document. Got it. Thank you. Thank you for

00:11:06.003 --> 00:11:12.303
- that. All right. Do you have any comments or questions? Yes, I'd really hate to see any interruption

00:11:12.303 --> 00:11:19.102
- in services for those who use my sister's closet. That really is such an integral service for the community.

00:11:19.266 --> 00:11:27.972
- And I echo you and we'll do everything we can. And I'm glad that we don't have to bind the CIB's hands.

00:11:27.972 --> 00:11:36.427
- I do hope that the city will investigate any avenue it can, particularly for housing. Yeah, that was

00:11:36.427 --> 00:11:41.534
- our big concern, really. Absolutely. And our hands are tied.

00:11:41.666 --> 00:11:47.550
- because we are not a housing authority. And of course, we don't have those powers, but I'd like to see

00:11:47.550 --> 00:11:53.320
- that outcome very much. So thank you. That may be what the CIB does. But it may not be. But at least

00:11:53.320 --> 00:11:59.261
- we put it out there that that's our interest and that is our concern. Yes. And again, I think they have

00:11:59.261 --> 00:12:05.374
- to transfer that to the city to really effectuate that purpose. Right. Right. CIB cannot do that. Correct.

00:12:05.954 --> 00:12:14.444
- Thank you. All right. Let's see if there's any public comment on this. I have you raise your hand teams

00:12:14.444 --> 00:12:22.770
- or come to the podium. And we don't have to ratify this since it's an amendment. I think you're fine.

00:12:22.770 --> 00:12:29.790
- It's really more of a covering up for the attorney's mistake. Covering your attorney.

00:12:30.338 --> 00:12:42.683
- All right, seeing none. All those in favor of resolution 2026-10B signify by saying aye. Aye. Motion

00:12:42.683 --> 00:12:55.028
- carries to zero. Thank you for bringing that to us. Next we have a planning presentation. Mr. Smith,

00:12:55.028 --> 00:12:58.206
- are you? Oh, there he is.

00:12:59.106 --> 00:13:08.565
- Okay, hello, good morning. Oh, you are muted. There you go. Okay, can you hear me now. Okay, perfect.

00:13:08.565 --> 00:13:17.374
- All right. Good morning commissioners TSD, if you could promote me so I could share my screen.

00:13:33.442 --> 00:13:42.550
- the commissioners see the screen okay we sure can thank you okay um good morning commissioners the request

00:13:42.550 --> 00:13:51.318
- before you is an outline plan amendment the second one to be exact which pertains to the highlands pud

00:13:51.318 --> 00:13:59.916
- specifically for parcel e also known as links edge subdivision or perhaps more commonly known as the

00:13:59.916 --> 00:14:01.278
- wick apartments

00:14:02.914 --> 00:14:11.859
- And this is a fairly long report, so I will be jumping around just a bit here. The site is located off

00:14:11.859 --> 00:14:20.717
- of South Rockport Road in Perry Township, with the inner streets being South Lincoln Street and South

00:14:20.717 --> 00:14:29.749
- Rangeview Circle. Going to jump around again here. So the image on the screen gives you a better layout

00:14:29.749 --> 00:14:32.094
- of what it is that you are

00:14:32.482 --> 00:14:40.032
- Voting on, so for this purpose of the outline plan amendment south range view circle is the street before

00:14:40.032 --> 00:14:47.225
- you that you will be voting on whether to grant the petitioners request to make range view a private

00:14:47.225 --> 00:14:54.348
- road. Should the commissioners vote to deny the petitioners request range view circle would stay as

00:14:54.348 --> 00:14:59.262
- a planned public road required to meet all public road improvements.

00:15:00.610 --> 00:15:09.395
- And I'm going to jump around again here to provide a little background on this petition. I did want

00:15:09.395 --> 00:15:18.531
- to note that this subdivision is part of the Highlands PUD, which is a PUD that was originally approved

00:15:18.531 --> 00:15:25.822
- under the city of Bloomington planning jurisdiction in 1996 under ordinance 96-05.

00:15:26.626 --> 00:15:33.319
- In 2018, the developer did receive approval for the current subdivision and development plan with a

00:15:33.319 --> 00:15:40.145
- revision to the outline plan having been approved by the Monroe County Board of Commissioners to have

00:15:40.145 --> 00:15:46.838
- a reduced front setback from 25 to 15 feet. It was during this time that the developer preferred to

00:15:46.838 --> 00:15:53.665
- have Rangeview Circle become a private road versus a public road. However, when this was presented to

00:15:53.665 --> 00:15:55.070
- the plan commission,

00:15:55.362 --> 00:16:03.477
- There were concerns that were raised over the course of that process about placing an economic burden

00:16:03.477 --> 00:16:11.513
- on the future presidents of that subdivision to pay to maintain the roadway should the developer opt

00:16:11.513 --> 00:16:19.787
- to sell that property either to an HOA or another private entity. As such, the intent to make Rangeview

00:16:19.787 --> 00:16:24.958
- Circle a private road never made it into the final outline plan.

00:16:25.314 --> 00:16:32.739
- and therefore the road was approved to become a public road, which the developer did agree to at that

00:16:32.739 --> 00:16:40.527
- time. The planning commission forwarded a positive recommendation seven to one to the county commissioners

00:16:40.527 --> 00:16:48.024
- on October 18th, 2018. And the county commissioners approved that outline plan amendment to reduce the

00:16:48.024 --> 00:16:54.430
- front setback from 25 to 15 feet on December 5th, 2018. And that was under ordinance 28

00:16:54.530 --> 00:17:03.854
- 18-34. The current petition request first began in 2023. However, the petition was withdrawn for reasons

00:17:03.854 --> 00:17:13.355
- unknown to planning. It wasn't until November of 2025 that the petitioner came back to planning to restart

00:17:13.355 --> 00:17:19.038
- this request. And that is the request that is before you today.

00:17:20.546 --> 00:17:28.212
- This petition did receive extensive review and discussion over the past few months, going to ordinance

00:17:28.212 --> 00:17:35.952
- review committee on December 8th, 2025, the planning commission administrative meeting on February 3rd,

00:17:35.952 --> 00:17:43.544
- 2026, and the preliminary planning commission regular session on February 17th, 2026. And I will jump

00:17:43.544 --> 00:17:44.958
- around here again.

00:17:48.578 --> 00:17:55.801
- Because the petitioner's request of waiver of final hearing was denied, this petition was heard again

00:17:55.801 --> 00:18:03.378
- at the Plan Commission administrative meeting on March 3rd, 2026, and the Plan Commission regular session,

00:18:03.378 --> 00:18:10.459
- also known as its final hearing, on March 17th, 2026. So during the Plan Commission meetings, there

00:18:10.459 --> 00:18:17.470
- were extensive and spirited discussions regarding the construction and intent of this development.

00:18:17.890 --> 00:18:26.201
- including a number of deficiencies that are currently an issue with this development. Much of this discussion

00:18:26.201 --> 00:18:33.983
- ultimately led staff to create a visual aid to help illustrate what exactly these deficiencies are and

00:18:33.983 --> 00:18:42.143
- where they are located. So the deficiencies on your screen are taken directly from the Highway Department's

00:18:42.143 --> 00:18:42.974
- inspection

00:18:43.170 --> 00:18:50.290
- were they noted deficiencies that needed to be corrected before they would accept Rangeview Circle into

00:18:50.290 --> 00:18:57.137
- the county road inventory. Planning did sit down with the petitioner and the petitioner's engineer,

00:18:57.137 --> 00:19:04.052
- petitioner's engineer being Daniel Butler with Bynum Vanyo to see what or if any public improvements

00:19:04.052 --> 00:19:10.899
- they were willing to make as part of their request to make Rangeview a private road. And you'll see

00:19:10.899 --> 00:19:12.542
- the items on the screen

00:19:12.738 --> 00:19:23.439
- In red being improvements the petitioner is unwilling to make. And then the improvements in green being

00:19:23.439 --> 00:19:33.729
- that the public improvements the petitioner is willing to make as part of their request. And you'll

00:19:33.729 --> 00:19:37.022
- see on the screen I have made a

00:19:37.346 --> 00:19:46.660
- planning map here, just identifying the areas of concern, the deficiencies specifically that the petitioner

00:19:46.660 --> 00:19:55.715
- is unwilling to make. So I have identified what those deficiencies are and then its approximate location

00:19:55.715 --> 00:20:05.374
- on this aerial view. You'll note that many of these deficiencies range from cracked sidewalks, parking stripes,

00:20:05.474 --> 00:20:13.394
- We've got a six foot ADA sidewalk requirement. We have cross slope issues. And we also have private

00:20:13.394 --> 00:20:21.472
- signs that are within the right of way. So a number of different issues that are noted in the packet,

00:20:21.472 --> 00:20:30.025
- but certainly issues that the highway department would like to see corrected. But ultimately the petitioner

00:20:30.025 --> 00:20:34.302
- is requesting that Reggie would become a private road

00:20:34.722 --> 00:20:45.187
- So they are opting to not do these improvements. I'm going to jump around here. I did want to state

00:20:45.187 --> 00:20:56.070
- that planning's original recommendation to the plan commission was to forward a positive recommendation

00:20:56.070 --> 00:21:02.558
- to the county commissioners with four conditions of approval.

00:21:03.106 --> 00:21:11.725
- much of this is based on the Highway Department's stance that they would not be able to accept Rangeview

00:21:11.725 --> 00:21:20.098
- Circle in its current state. And you'll see on the screen the letter that was provided by the Highway

00:21:20.098 --> 00:21:28.553
- Director, Lisa Ridge, her letter to the Plan Commission dated March 10th, 2026, and that's what I have

00:21:28.553 --> 00:21:31.262
- up here on the screen. She noted

00:21:31.618 --> 00:21:39.347
- the highway department's position as well as a number of their concerns that they had with this site.

00:21:39.347 --> 00:21:46.924
- However, the first condition of approval that planning had recommended was that the petitioner work

00:21:46.924 --> 00:21:54.502
- to get South Wiccan Street accepted into the county inventory by the Planning Commission meeting on

00:21:54.502 --> 00:21:59.806
- March 17, 2026. To planning staff's knowledge, this has not occurred.

00:22:00.162 --> 00:22:06.601
- So at that March 17th meeting, Planning had recommended continuing the petition to the next meeting

00:22:06.601 --> 00:22:13.041
- in hopes that the petitioner would work with the Highway Department on getting South Lincoln Street

00:22:13.041 --> 00:22:18.965
- accepted into the County Road Inventory, which the petitioner did agree to finish all final

00:22:18.965 --> 00:22:25.662
- public improvements to get that accepted by the Highway Department. Ultimately, the Planning Commission

00:22:25.922 --> 00:22:33.668
- did vote to vote a negative recommendation to the county commissioners by a vote of five to two. And

00:22:33.668 --> 00:22:41.567
- this is a pretty lengthy report, but I am happy to take any questions that the commissioners may have.

00:22:41.567 --> 00:22:49.389
- I believe the planning director is also online in case there are any questions that she might be able

00:22:49.389 --> 00:22:55.294
- to answer as well. And I will take any questions. All right, do you have any

00:22:55.618 --> 00:23:09.294
- Any comments or questions? No, thank you. I think I understand the issues. I don't have any questions

00:23:09.294 --> 00:23:23.774
- beyond what I posed at the planning commission meeting on this item. I don't think we need to hear from the

00:23:24.418 --> 00:23:36.333
- representative. We have questions for them. I think we'll just put it on our agenda. So Mr. Smith, thank

00:23:36.333 --> 00:23:48.134
- you for the clear presentation. It is a lot. There's a lot going on here. And I'd like to check in with

00:23:48.134 --> 00:23:51.198
- our third commissioner and

00:23:52.194 --> 00:24:01.289
- send some dates to you to put this on our agenda, if that's okay with you. Absolutely. That's fine.

00:24:01.289 --> 00:24:10.748
- I appreciate that. Thank you so much. Okay. Yeah. All right. Thank you very much. Appreciate your time.

00:24:10.748 --> 00:24:19.934
- All right. We have one more added item on our agenda. Is it you Ms. Turner King presenting the SUDAC

00:24:22.274 --> 00:24:30.176
- It was two T's budget. Did it cost more for the extra T? Sorry. All right. So the Substance Use Disorder

00:24:30.176 --> 00:24:37.776
- Awareness Commission, SUDAC, met yesterday and discussed the upcoming summit, which is scheduled for

00:24:37.776 --> 00:24:45.377
- September 1st and 2nd of this year at the Bloomington Convention Center. And one item they discussed

00:24:45.377 --> 00:24:47.710
- was the budget for the summit.

00:24:47.810 --> 00:24:53.872
- And that's what's before you today for approval. So I have provided a copy of the budget to

00:24:53.872 --> 00:25:00.660
- the commissioners. The budget results in an ending balance of $7,147.71 in the SUDAC fund, which would

00:25:00.660 --> 00:25:07.315
- make funds available for future SUDAC events like Paint the Town Purple or the next year's summit. I

00:25:07.315 --> 00:25:13.246
- would note that yesterday it was discussed during the SUDAC meeting that the speaker line

00:25:13.794 --> 00:25:20.288
- in the budget will likely increase as speakers are confirmed and they communicate their fees but even

00:25:20.288 --> 00:25:26.910
- with the anticipated increase it will result in a positive balance in that fund. So SUDAC approved this

00:25:26.910 --> 00:25:33.468
- yesterday and I provided a copy of the resolution that was passed approving the budget or recommending

00:25:33.468 --> 00:25:39.326
- the budget to the commissioners and so that's what is before you for approval today. Great.

00:25:39.586 --> 00:25:46.070
- Thank you so much. So Commissioner Madeira, anything you want to add to this? No, I think that this

00:25:46.070 --> 00:25:52.554
- is going to be a tremendous event. I think this budget looks exceedingly balanced and I think we're

00:25:52.554 --> 00:25:59.362
- ready to go. Excellent. Now I appreciate the Substance Use Disorder Awareness Commission and their work.

00:25:59.362 --> 00:26:06.171
- And yes, I do think it's going to be a great event. So we should take a vote on this. Yes, Mr. Cockrell,

00:26:06.171 --> 00:26:08.894
- and would we need to ratify it next week?

00:26:09.538 --> 00:26:16.228
- You can just vote on this. I mean, this is a budget. So any contracts associated with the budget will

00:26:16.228 --> 00:26:22.852
- still have to still see it. Got it. All right. Would you make a motion, please? Yes, I would like to

00:26:22.852 --> 00:26:29.672
- move to approve the budget for the 2026 Sudak Recovery Summit. I will second that. Let's see if there's

00:26:29.672 --> 00:26:33.214
- any public comment on this. Teams come to the podium.

00:26:37.314 --> 00:26:46.287
- none all those in favor of approving the recommended budget from Sudak for the recovery summit signify

00:26:46.287 --> 00:26:55.173
- by saying aye aye motion carries to zero thank you there's actually one more Sudak item and that's an

00:26:55.173 --> 00:27:04.058
- amendment to the tall cop says stop contract with the commissioners approved on March 12th after that

00:27:04.058 --> 00:27:06.846
- contract was approved they were

00:27:07.042 --> 00:27:14.643
- The option, it was, there was an option discussed, and that tall cop could provide a report after his

00:27:14.643 --> 00:27:22.170
- presentation and Sudak would like to get that written report and there's a $500 fee for that report.

00:27:22.170 --> 00:27:25.598
- So, it increases the contract amount by $500.

00:27:25.922 --> 00:27:34.307
- says stop organization, submitted an invoice that includes that amount. SUDAC talked about it yesterday.

00:27:34.307 --> 00:27:42.292
- They would like to amend the contract to include that $500. Wow. Can I talk about that a little bit

00:27:42.292 --> 00:27:50.597
- more? That sounds like a lot. This is a report where this particular individual will come and basically

00:27:50.597 --> 00:27:54.590
- do a report dedicated to our local circumstances.

00:27:54.946 --> 00:28:02.868
- Uh, the student team thinks that that would provide very valuable information as an outside professional.

00:28:02.868 --> 00:28:10.342
- Yes. Not embroiled in the community, not from the community looking at it with fresh eyes, somebody

00:28:10.342 --> 00:28:17.965
- who's a professional. I got it. Thank you. Okay. So this would be, um, I'm going to go ahead and move

00:28:17.965 --> 00:28:24.318
- to approve the amended, um, a Chad professional training. Is that correct? Yes. Yes.

00:28:25.090 --> 00:28:33.597
- Um, with the amended total of $3,275. Yes. That is not the full total for clarity. That is the total

00:28:33.597 --> 00:28:42.356
- of the invoice because, um, Mr. Tall Cop, um, we get that's the total amount is broken into two amounts

00:28:42.356 --> 00:28:51.199
- and that is the amount to secure the date. And so that means that the total, um, contract was originally

00:28:51.199 --> 00:28:53.726
- $12,600 and then you had 500.

00:28:55.010 --> 00:29:02.808
- Okay, so 13 one. Yes. Okay. So I'm going to amend my motion to accept the full contract for $13,100

00:29:02.808 --> 00:29:10.449
- to amend it. Yes. I second that. I will second that. Thank you. Yes is good, but I need a second.

00:29:10.449 --> 00:29:15.518
- All right. Let's see if there's any public comment on this item.

00:29:28.226 --> 00:29:36.959
- Seeing none, all those in favor of approving the amended contract with JCHED professional training,

00:29:36.959 --> 00:29:46.390
- signify by saying aye. Aye. Motion carries, 2-0. Thank you. Thanks. All right. With that, we are adjourned.

00:29:46.390 --> 00:29:50.494
- Thanks again, Katz. Thanks again, TSD. Thanks.
