We do. We can be as important as an end review. Thank you. I'm going to go to the next slide. I'm going to go to the next slide. I'm going to go to the next slide. I'm going to go to the next slide. I'm going to go to the next slide. I'm going to go to the next slide. I'm going to go to the next slide. I'm going to go to the next slide. I'm going to go to the next slide. I'm going to go to the next slide. I'm going to go All right, 2024, our secondary primary election, update election director, Miss Peel. The board of conditions. All right, all right. We have to move on. And also listening to this question. Just go to give some. the first crime of the election. So, on the day of the election, the government is also the government of auditors, which is also a Republican seat. And although this is a state violation, only certain voters are eligible to vote to this track. Elton voters for this term, primary and community votes for our registered members. And so, violation only certain voters are eligible to vote in the stack. Elton voters for the seven primary and the votes for our violation. Those are all I will vote. Those are all vote. I will vote for the vote tomorrow. In a man that's the first person to come back to us, vote for the vote. If the person has an imbalance within an immigrant, just very far, doing a much primary election, you've got nothing to vote for, it's a crime. Okay, so your next election vote for the next election. Okay, so you've run an election, we'll be the no-no-no-no-no election, but those no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no- the I'm going to ask you a question. There's only a question. There's also a little bit of a question. There's also a little bit of a question. Is that a primary relation? And by the end of the question, what do I mean? It is a good question. And my presentation. I'm going to ask you a question. What do you think? Do we have any additional questions? I'm going to say that we can get a few more questions. I have a question. You've got a part of the proposal. There's a question. The record. Well, there's more of this year's real age. You're right, I'm just using my hands to get a picture. You want to listen to me? I'm just using my hands to get a picture. I'm just using my hands to get a picture. I'm just using my hands to get a picture. I'm just using my hands to get a picture. I'm just using my hands to get a picture. I'm just using my hands to get a picture. Well, I'm going to be doing this. So we're going to be doing this. Right. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. We're going to be doing this. We're going to be doing this. We're going to be doing this. We're going to be doing this. We're going to be doing this. We're going to be doing this. We're going to be doing this. you realize so whatever we get requests from different polarizations to different patients and patients, which also is a disaster. So if you get to know that somebody got yelled at, oh, whatever. I'm being a really good guy. I just don't know what to say. But I just want to say I've known that all the board of elections is working very hard to give them a lot of unfunded mandates from the state. Air grid, yeah, but we're working on it. We have the goal plan, the goal of info, as right in the air. We have to have the, uh, we're on the little side, in where all of us make seven. We're all about next year. Okay. And part of that. That's where we stand. I'm sure that that's the case. The, the, what, great. The ship. Oh, pretty good. But. Really. No, by the way, it's in some relations. The West. What in what's that? One impact. Great. So, man, I know there's additional, whatever in that, but. Good. This is me. I'm not. I just want to go for what I need you to do is the high-out citizens come to take a third of the things that's going to be you a hint of what you can laugh at. It's a set of the numbers. The interest in getting a set of the numbers is a set of the numbers. Right. The key is to get the numbers. The number of the numbers. The number of the numbers. Okay. Okay. They can't be. The number of the numbers. The number of the numbers. You have to be there. With the info. Want pass. Yeah, it's more. I'm going to say it without saying anything but I'm going to say it. Thank you. All right. Strategic planning discussion project consultant, Miss Robin Panth. Thank you, Miss. Thank you. In few sessions today. First off, everybody take those with the paperwork that have been enlarged. She's going to be writing it in large, but I think she's adding more thanks to the piece of paper. So. All right. So the first session. Moving beyond just. Focus area. And I want to make sure what the goal is for each of the fiscal year one and two objectives. services doesn't necessarily get taught to find certification. Floyd, we can contact them. I was. I was very lucky. We're doing that for accessibility. Those who are not able to do do 20 minutes to a grocery store. That's very good. Also. Any other discussion around. Uh, in reference to groceries. Okay. One was been in hot. Or some has to do that. Of the past by the people that took their groceries. Contents and made. The other thing is Jack. We would lose some of my side of the conversation and rough growth. These are some of the things that are just here. the population area. In the case of sites, and then plus with the three-file plus properties and valley protein, which is darling now and the other sub-opattractors are working in those areas. So that is for I will have left off with also talking with the structural pharmacy. No, basically, We have a dark building society and the So that's the deal that all of the sound researchers can know from that. They're moving on. So we can include that. Progress needs a day in the new rate of them the next step with the economic development. We can work to tighten it up so we can take that knowledge and make a decision. Yes. Please. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. So that means that kids and elementary and middle school will not be getting begin meals. And trust me, that number has grown to right now with feeding 200 and 50 to every single cost that now has over $50,000 for us. And quite frankly, it would be difficult for us to raise that money. We're all in. I'll follow you. We have to be in the due time. It's going to be easy. It's going to be easy. Good. Thanks. Thanks. Thanks. Thanks, like. Beautiful. I guess. The dress up. Is this what recommendation department used to take care of? Yeah, thanks to the dealer. Kind of tells We're actually just left the basket all over. Nobody. Nobody. Nobody. Nobody. Nobody. Nobody. Nobody. Nobody. Nobody. Nobody. Nobody. Nobody. Nobody. Nobody. Just a thumb. You and together but to be in a master point. What center would need the right. Yes. Yeah. I've been trying for a week now. I've been trying for a week now. The system can't be dangerous enough. I've been trying for a week now. I've been trying for a week now. I've been trying for a week now. I've been trying for a week now. I've been trying for a week now. I've been trying for a week now. I've been trying for a week now. I've been trying for a week now. I've been trying for a week So the basketball. And that's. So I can get copies of. And. Okay. Not someone to talk about. We're on the construction that drop in back in point again. As far as the aug shelter, I want to get your specs that you have. Okay, and get them to a couple of the local contractors. So, okay. I would have, what would it be? It means to be respect on it. To be honest, you. It's a bunch. Since it's been very clear, but what about this? I understand it, you can get a bit. I think we need to. You know, look at every product. We do the building since it's going to have for them. We need to look at every project to do the building. Since it's going to happen, I'll call around to all the counties, to have some similar things, some similar things, up on the corner points. And again, I just did a completely different thing about that, for some to get out of that. We just keep things out here there that look for people. So, perhaps, we have to go to the next meeting. We can do this. So, I ask my partner, please, have a very good question. Let's move to the next meeting. For public good, you have to put it out there and let people come to you. That's what you can put people in the public office. For public budget, you have to put it out there and let people come to you. I want that very clearly stated that we cannot go to people to tell them to be it on something. I mean, if we go to one, we need to go to several because as a public beard, it should not just go to time and somebody. It's going to be the question of patriotism and the ramifications. For the record record record record record record record record record record record record record record record record record record record record I don't know where to go, but as a facility, you have all your points. You have to go on with everything. Okay. And you have to make time to put a lot of money. So. So, sometimes what you would do is take the list if you have five or six contractors. And as long as you send an email. But then if you engage with one, it will actually impact all of them. The question is, I hope that again, obviously we have to put out a bid. Yeah. That's it. That's the priority period. Let's make it different way that you are. I have stayed out. Absolutely. And that's the end of the question. How much do I have to pay the bill. Absolutely. We're going to see how much of this will come up with that. If you say, I'm saying we put that into a lot of paper, but then it's going to be like, I'm saying that it's going to be a great deal. Because, right. Right. We're going to do it. We're going to do it. Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh I'm going to go with the week. I'm going to go with the week. Which is them about can't. There's a line. The director. The big boss. I'm not going to start. We have to read the web. Can't. One of the board members, there's nothing out there, and the board member from the committee. Certainly, it's time for the Jackson. Very projection and re-advertise on how to make the program cost less. So I see no reason why you can't talk to a general contract by face to get a result of the election. The bill is beginning and the a result of the election. You're getting an easy to lose the money contract is can't talk to sub tractors. Ain't done what the ideas of how much a scaled down cheaper version. At the post would cost the contractors would just need to understand the way how it's very less cheap. He does not say it can build it. It regardless of how impressed the county commissioners are, they still have to get it bid out. And if it's under 500,000 dollars, it's a little bit good. At that time, and that's one of those bid outs, and it goes out for the bills to bid. The reason why anybody on this board can't come back to come to terms. Okay, this is what we got. This thing priced out, these are the numbers. What's going on? I'm glad. And I've got all the general statues that he sent with me. And these are things I want to discuss with you, David, today. But since we're on this subject, we just might go have it. Recreation. So egg basketball court. Be moved forward on please to expand or to understand what recreation expanded recreation opportunity for citizens would look like. I propose issuing an RFQ to bring in an architect or planning team to help develop the schematics, not architectural drawings. This is a schematic on a footprint and where the likely locations could be and so that we can at least move forward on some discussion around it. I understand the value of doing that and that makes sense. But where does the initial conversation we had about the Southwestern Gen and using that as a to be able to expand recreation since it's a current facility as opposed to down the road building something. I know we what the wreck would like to have down the road. Yeah, we need to plan for it. But what is the use of space we have right now? What does that come? Yeah, and that would be part of what is expanded recreation look like. It's not going to be focused just on Westver. I mean, on the complex, it would be everything. What are the resources now? Because as we're looking atanding the comprehensive rec plan, which you really need to do a lot has happened a lot of ideas are in there You know you all know it helps with grant opportunities for us To get that in there It goes to the brother and the ex-boyfriend. And it goes well and standard as we want to explain in that. So we've already submitted for congressional funding to the public. And I did a basic problem and I mean glass. I did not have a solid opinion, but I did go out there, view everything, and really I believe $2,000,000, you would have upvied that Mr. Jim, and if it was comfortable for now, probably the belt was the most role of playing and we would give our recreation policy to the relief and our 80th of the relief policy. They're really cramped in to the positive relief. And I hate people, I don't really care. They're really crap, even, and the jail question. We have outstanding, the part of me that is, that was a great hire, it was cheery to this, if our heart was in it, she's aggressive, and they need the space, and we have the space and we have a vision of acreage of the size that we can be just by leaving it on and we can do it at a cost that will not be as heavy as building a brand new building. We can put that off on the future and see what life is doing there. But I did submit that on Friday. I mean, that's what we talked about doing, but I want to make one great, kind of personal funding, and so it takes a window sharing here in time. They opened the portal up at April 19th at the 30th with the end loud 1819 to the Eocop. So but we already had grants in place and we just went for a portal. And so all of ours got in there. And the vision of I think this where basically you work in bigger. And so it will place the balance, talk with you all in the work sessions. And it kind of, so you get submitted. Don't know who we get in the back. You know, whether we get it or not, yet one fact that should also be known, and then we talked this previously, Carolina Rebuilders Ministry, who's right there on site, is open to discussion around using volunteer, free labor to do the work, if we would only have to pay for the actual materials. They bring in experts. That can be an option for us, but I think you did the right thing. You did what we talked about, which is try to find sources of funding, right? Yeah. So there's also potential. So again, if we could just get some schematics together so that we can understand best steps moving forward, it will help us get funding beyond the 200 for the wherever it is. This is our proposal for fiscal year one and two. Instead of addressing one recreation spot at one time, if we look at it as a bigger picture, then I think we stand to get a lot more grants, we stand to make a lot more tracks. And then as we have more and more citizen input, people understand where we're it a wilderness. And what DC would like to see is not only exercise and only remediation, but helping well as classities to go down here, to dining, to pack a kitchen, and live I'm not saying that it's a permanent piece, but I'll say it's a star. And what you want to add, what is that? So we have a break. All the break, all the break, all the break, the babies. I want to give you a second. Just basically what I saw. And you're going to be patient. If we get it. You know, So sometimes the end of the queue waiting in will talk some people later on. I'll be glad to go to the next go round. Thanks for that. The first trial I don't, you know, you go again and you're very clear about it. Because you know, I, you know, I, you know, I, you know, I, you know, I, you know, I, you know, I, you know, I, you know, I, you know, I, you know, I, you know, I, you know, I, you know, I, you know, I, you know, I, you know, I, you know, I, you know, I, the world, they don't know the world. So I mean, it's just to play on more or we want to be something different with that is a very large spot. There's just sitting there. It's all about a camp so it makes sense to update rather than you know, at least at least judge rather than try to give a bigger build than just to give you the numbers just like things. And if I always share accounts that you're solving, I just, my job is to listen with you more and try to be, you know, a heroine I mean, you know, a hero needs a perfect, and so, I think that's why I'm so happy. Let's go ahead. Thank you. Access to healthcare. We talked a few commissions. There's so many different. So having information that is available to the public. We're here to hear. So we would come up with just a simple identification of what's available, but then it's better. So the meeting that we attend was here that day. I've got information from everyone. Very important. One thing, I know we have it on here. We have O opioid crisis response. That's the opioid settlement dollar, right? Yes sir. Well you know we're going to need this. We could just spend them. There's an effort going on right now that's been funded now need to look at opioid, right? And that's the network that's meeting at seniors and here. Right. And they have some they're doing the same thing with in all the players together and then this remote you can't trillion you've got everybody. Yes. This is three months, you got trillium, you got everybody. Yes, yes. We see the month. We see the month. Yes. We see the month. Yes. We see the month. Yes. We see the month. Yes. We see the month. Yes. We see the month. Yes. We see the month. Yes. We see the month. Yes. We see the month. Yes. working on that working on the we're watching understanding how we can to some degree there's dark or you'll wait in your meeting that we have that we have to have another meeting before the end of the fiscal year. So yes, and there's some work that we're trying to get the conference before the next meeting, but we will have another meeting before June 30 where we bring out the stakeholders together and discuss where the gaps are. And we'll have a conversation on the ones with best views. Okay. And why? Get the table invite them to come to us because they're all the players already there. They've been working on it for a year, right? But they don't understand what our rooms are right so we need to engage them. Okay, so one you'll take care of that I read down. Okay. I'm sorry, I to the department of social service and this is the most recent information received from his little. And so I think she. She provided a great right up about what their goals are. It's to bring DSS up to current standards and make sure they're providing four citizens and that they're prepared for the increase in services required. Senior Services Council on Aging provided by Rebecca Stapleton. We went over this before. She's definitely got more than enough square footage at their current location and she wants to expand programming. and computers, supply the funding that's necessary, just to fix some leaks, do a asbestos check. That's one aging can. It's a new one. It's very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, at a time aging. Kevin. Students. Future future. And veterans and reviscence. Both of the veterans in third week. This is the last. She wanted to provide opportunities for veterans. Currently they're going out to other counties to have in the region. Now, the volume is see where I come from. New and current monies versus Department overlap one and I'll talk after this. This this money that's on this strategic plan and already requested it so we need to The plan juice plan needs an update. Traces is still taking different webinars through grant opportunities. Sign replacement, she peels as a property. Housing, a lot of good work already done to date. We got a plan like it's 10 different priority locations. Looks like you're zeroing in on a couple of properties and going to move forward on that. Economic development. Things talked about getting a new website layout. And of course, would be tied into if they're going to website package with thick plus we feel like we'd be able to get a lot of information out in a timely manner on different mechanisms. but also the resources that need to carry out. I think I'm developing for the mortar. We've streamlined that to look at the mortar, not just the self-negative or separating industry, and then it's all business back to the nonprofit. We've got a lot of brick and mortar that's a lot of potential out there. Honing in on that, developing, so that we can do something, have something ready to show people, whether it's a small business or a business. Stan, what you're saying saying I had a question that I think we looked at carpet of extension skipping I had a question On here we've got parking lot Pay right if you guys you guys have a source of funding yet consider you need to look at golden leaf because since golden leaf fund events That's infrastructure and that They're real quick through golden leaf and we've got a contact there Build this if we can show that we need a Park a lot that's what they put money in infrastructure stuff You can be pretty easy not on about easy, but have a good chance of getting it. Okay. Okay. So I get up with you. All right, brick and mortar. Bertie Beach, again, it's our fourth one. And Donna, included $155. And the storage building budget requests. The water, this is Ricky Spivey, his priorities, and this folds right into the infrastructure that's necessary. And looks like machinery operating efficiently. And move back up. Franklin added job and workforce analysis, and that was with the EDT. and I have been talking about this kind of job. When we do actually do business here, we sit down and we can tell them that we've got some of the work that we're available to do with our agents, which we can do with, to be able to achieve. So that's how we do business. And then they can go to achieve today's. That's what we're going to use. We'll use the information. Frank, let me. As question to you, you and Robert, I mean, one of the. You know, sometimes you have to use a negative. That a county has. in order to get support. We had in the last census the largest population loss 16.3% of any county in the state of North Carolina. For the next census is another 15. My feeling is that we are to be using it as a way to get funding that would change that positive way, whether that's housing, whether that's jobs, and you can relate that to other. But you understand what happened here. We lose 32% of our tax base here at Citizens. How do we make that up and revenue? So we should be pushing that from state to say, help us fix this. Right? I mean, I. Is that I think we're on the right track because the developers lined up. You got the whole line. Properties. That's the right track to go on. To see what we can also take you to West Bertie and also around the central Bertie area. We're not even on the map with any of them. I meant that we were getting that going. Start assembly. I'm going to get somebody that got team British. Well, the thing is too, you know, I met with a lady that, but Timence that had been contracted by Norfolk Shipyard. This was about four weeks ago, five weeks ago, and they wanted to look at the industrial sites that could be close to rail. All the rail is in West Burti County, okay. And she took numerous pictures, took all the stuff, and she was going to be getting back to you any now, Franklin, all this. Once she tabulated, she was taking pictures of road signs, since she can map all this stuff out and show this to the people that have contracted with her or her company, I should say, and referenced all of this. And then I believe it last meeting with DOT there, and their statement was, is that one of the main roads they want to get for widening is highway 11. Starting in Bertie County and Indian in Bertie County because the amount of traffic flow we got going on 308 and right there at highway 11 and turning left on the right head in that direction and going on into the shipyards so that's still moving slow but it's moving. Don't forget and it's a Wednesday coming. That is the state's number expectation initiative and we're halfway between the ports in Virginia and Mo ahead city. So they're saying that we should be one of the key distribution centers for equidistage between the ports. So you know we know it's not true but not funded yet. So we need to begin in there saying you talk about industrial site. If we got the interstate right here. Come on. I mean how good is that? Come on, I mean, how good is that? So if we could work on the database that's not just going to go beyond industry and then Kelly said she would help. Get all that mapping done and have that information available. And then we have a meeting with DOT on Friday. Okay. I brought my note, please. I'm going to talk to you about the drug research in New Phong's. We need to identify that area of brain cells. This is urgent. And when we said, when we said, information, the benefits of organization, and we are identified as birch and cattle in terms of the price of the years, and they all are claiming. We're trying to do the right one more, do the right one more. So if we could get that done, that's as we do, and I'm just done and gone, and gone race, but this is first of all, but maybe no traction. The other thing is on that, all that land is basically privately owned. And I think you would need a converse with the attorneys to see if that label can be put on that land. Okay. I don't know if it can if it's privately owned. You know that property was a solar fields rat and things that nature's least property. They're leasing that property to put the solar fields on them. Of course you got Purdue, you got Wellington, all that and Darlin and the garages and methane plants, all that land is owned, but the balance of it is being leased. I would get with them to see if there's the legalities of that's gonna allow that to, you know what I'm saying? To say. That's land is privately owned and actually I believe Tom Jackson, that they're producing all the land on the map. That's land is privately owned. And actually, I believe Tom Jackson, who has deceased his family members own all that land. Okay. And the other is on the right hand side, of course, that is owned by the facilities that are there. Now to his death, whether he's proceeded to sell that, these companies, what they've, he's done. So that's all there's to it, but it's still privately owned. So. Organizational excellence in the next page, Internet technology. We could do a lot. We had that explain website capability. The rest of what Joe's department is listed is it's really just improved efficiency is forward. I wanna speak for you. Did you request in your annual or? I did, I was sure. I was expecting to see the finals back. So, I think that's a part of the case. County buildings. And this is Anthony's list in yellow is his fiscal year one. And I think he's also again requesting this money and his annual budget. But I think the goal is that keep county buildings the property that you own up in in good condition. Keep them on the road able to tackle tasks much faster and not sub out a lot of the work. Work to the board. This is a request. It's a small one. It's efficiency updated software. It can print and handle simple tasks more easily. Register of deeds. The past four sentences. She had a lot of calls requesting that from citizens. Elections, ADA accessible machines. Latoya, I didn't. Okay, good time. In the next two years, the SIR and the SIR will be closed to the city. Thank you, follow up. All the past two's now, I just think it's a pretty good thing Okay. and we can't manage our resource in 60% access. But we need to train in and I won't even look for the next one, but it's good. So, okay. But we do get the trade in our own box. So, we bring it down. This is a little bit of this one. And that's for next year? Oh, no, the next year. Oh, okay. Okay, I got that. And there's no funding that assists with that. It may be an excellent reader. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Got it. That's fine. I'll grab it from David. That's fine. Thank you, dear. Human resources, laturios, recruitment, and onboard software, again, it's efficiency. So pretty much organizational excellence, it's the efficiency. Being able to stay current with technology and making tasks more fluid faster, being able to engage better with citizens and businesses. Any questions? So we'll start going ahead and writing up narrative, distribute, and then that is what we'll use, our public, and our meetings with different municipalities partners as well, but we'll talk about that in the next session. Okay. Okay. All right. 2024. 2020 for the point. Mr. Billy. I'm going to go to the next slide. I'm going to go to the next slide. I'm going to go to the next slide. I'm going to go to the next slide. I'm going to go to the next slide. I'm going to go to the next slide. I'm going to go to the next slide. I'm going to go to the next slide. I'm going to go to the next slide. I'm going to go to the next slide. I'm going to go to the Next for me. So, one of the most exciting things that I get to do today in report on is two new faces here, two new staff members with our proper extension. So, it's an equal young. She'll be speaking with you. The great agent, we have a chance to introduce her to you. Back in January, she'd been boots on the ground, meeting people, and folks in the community making contacts and that sort of thing. Yeah, the skills agent. You would recall. People are here. It's an other condition, but we're able to secure Rebecca. Thank you. Thank you. I'm just going to be on board just a short period of time. From both of these, ladies and just a little bit of bice and things they've got playing and what we've been able to put together. Thank you. Okay, here. You know, the challenge is to bring certain particular base unbiased information to citizens if you can. Make better decisions and improve the. Um, base to face contacts. The world. Zoom sessions or handouts. So in 2022, three, I offered to provide a 369 educational sessions to citizens in the county. And this was to youth and adults clients throughout the county. So of this, there were about 1,700 people attending these sessions and we participated in coordinated local sessions and also regional sessions. And one example that we had from back there had a regional civil being school here in this room here. That's one reason we talked about expanding the parking lot. We had that when we had Medicare thing, and we had a bit of a bit of people there, and it's going to be down there. That's a meeting with us about maybe expansion. So, to run a successful extension program, and to do work in our community, to build the building, to build the house, and $500, as far as the right development and what that was worth. But this happens in various ways. And master food volunteers, community beats. Big. We. Last thing was supposed to get after it. Working with radio program to the schools. Uh, the latest. It's getting their volunteer hours that they needed for their programs. There. A graduation, but also help give them some some leadership experience to them. Also, where we have growers that are participating in foot from. So in 20, 20, 30 in addition to all the funding that came. Great, but people are. We just love 99,000 dollars in funds to help. To, um, citizens in the county. That's that you hear a little bit about later. We have some don't aim. For meetings and also in kind products and help us put on old form test and that sort of thing through our work. So we're actually there and just kind of want to point out what that meant to it. So this time we'd like to move into some reports. So we'll start with Tanequa and then we'll follow that Rebecca, the liaison then. I'm still new for our vinhus and Jane Ray. And if you don't know about 4k pictures, that's a YouTube development program. And it's like, I'm not going to talk about it. I appreciate it. Egg. But we were in. And kids finding out the things that they're not. I'm not sure if you're going to have to have a conversation. I appreciate it. I think we're going to have to have a conversation. I appreciate it. I think we're going to have to have a conversation. I appreciate it. I think we're going to have to have a conversation. I appreciate it. I think we're going to have to have a conversation. I appreciate it. I think we're going to have to have a conversation. I appreciate it. I think we're We try to send campers every year. And for campers for free. And what they do, they do kayaking, canoeing, crack up against rock climbing. It's an honor different things that they get to do. And we recently just wrapped up our short race sale to raise money. It's pretty much for free. Because we want them to have those opportunities and have them get to see things like that. I have to opportunity to go camping when I was a kid, but I think I would have liked it if I had to, but it's a hundred camp. So that's not easy money to come by. So we do try to find ways so that they don't really have to come up with an item. So last year for our summer camps, we had several different summer camps. And of them was the RONO River Wild Life Day. They went down to the RONO River and got on the platoon boats. They talked about the lost economy and rolled down the river to see sights and different things like that. Me personally, I had never been before and Miss Cindy took me about two weeks ago to the museum and I thought it was cool. I like it and we are doing that again this year and the good thing about some accounts this year, I think they were a hit last year so they filled up very fast this year. Clicking Camp is a hit. So this year we were going to do 12 students and we got calls from some childcare singers and from a lot of different people. And we was like, again, I was like, what can we do to make sure other people have the opportunity to come? So we heightened our numbers and over black camp this year. But last, it couldn't count. And we had 10 in the COVID-19. Black camp is ages five to eight. And then you have the regular age group kids. That's not to 11. Um, they learn how to cut things. Good eat night steels, hygiene skills, washing hands, but they also learn things like washing dishes. I know our kids don't like to wash dishes so we make them prepare them a food, click and do it, but you also have to do them to different recipes. The camp is cooking around the world for each day. So one day, there have something for me. So let's take a look. So if you want to come up with a question, just a kid. Let's go. Let's go. Maybe we got a spoon. OK. But we do have Bertie Beach and some of the things that we running on offer every year. I don't know how to swim. And if I had the opportunity to go to the campus because swim camp is expensive, we send them free for a week and they learn swim skills. So the first day they just talk about safety of the water, what to do, what not to do. And throughout the week they teach them different things. We call it doggy pain, it's part of the tiger crawl now and that's the, they go throughout that throughout the entire week and we do the cover blood camp first and know we do the regular age group first and then the cover blood camp second. That's the opportunity for the older kids to come back and volunteer and help us in the pool with the younger kids. Then we have CPR first day training. That's always something good to have to put in your pocket just in case because we don't know when you might have to use CPR or when you might have to use some of your first day skills and we offered it for our kids to get their minds checked. We put them to the screen. Creamery toward last year. That was campus agency 5 to 12. They learned about the different types of child farm management and ice cream production. And I will say NC State has that own dairy farm. So my goal next year is to take the kids to the dairy farm at NC State because you learn about the different types of health they have and they also have an in-house creamery and they make their own ice cream. Then we have add day they went to the material farm. There were about 10 campers in the ages of 5 to 12. They spent three hours learning about life and working on the farm and then after they stopped their power and stokes and earned about some peanut production. And then there is Hunter safety. We do have an eye to act here. We do have an eye to kids that are interested in hunting. There are three campus that participating is and they learned about safe gun and archery practices. And babysitter back cut. We know in the summertime, a lot of people don't want to pay for childcare. So in our entire time, they get teenagers or older brothers and sisters to watch their younger siblings. And it's a good thing that they learn these skills so they know what to do when they have to watch younger siblings or have to watch cousins or they want to start their own-the-day care business for the sum of the make extra money. This is a good program for them to participate in. And that's it. That's our some cancer last year, but I will say moving forward, my vision for the police program is move towards a STEM program, I still wanted to add the culture, but I also have been on it for time talking to my kids, talking to teachers, and they're running it and computer science, cobbin, things like that. So I'm looking forward to NC State, NC State is at, but ANT and finding those opportunities and things for kids that are more about. Then questions. How is your information set to the center of the virtue calendar? The campus is done for me. So me and Cindy print out. It had to be a thousand or 1200 fires and we dropped them off to every single school. So every single child got one, sent home in the backpack. We posted it on our Facebook page and then I sent a broadcast email and I phoage online account to youth that have already been in the program. So some emails are still in there and that's how we broadcast to get that out. And we've been doing some outreach, I've reached things with the schools. So if I get, I do try to go to those. And can you value that one still volunteer? Let me know because we are really looking for. I want to go to the library. I can't go to the library. Thank you. Oh, thank you. I'm Rebecca Chinette. I come from playing piano together to move that I need to be a great person. I've been coming to Bertie County all my life. My daddy's baby sister. She was my uncle and I know you all probably know her. I'm not a weird Negro. I'm a Bertie Chinette. Also for the extension. I participated in the court because I was an avid for HR so I'm really excited to back. And stuff. I. This role as the digital skills agent and I'm going to be carrying with me a lot of a part about driving in Bay, T County when I was in. I've been on the executive board of the Arts Council for a member of the Bertie Business Network and I know that you have to really work hard to get the word out here and piggyback. Also partnering with other organizations locally, both for the thing to get participation in the programs you're offering. Basically, what we want to do with this program is to empower every North Carolinian and my specific mission, every Bertie County resident with the digital skills for success and work, health and life. We're going to do what the extension has. We take knowledge from the university and we demonstrate. We take it from the university to the field. We demonstrate that technology and we help people adopt that technology. It's keeping with that tradition of extending knowledge from the university to the community. Bosses, one, you know, right here, Mr. Billy Barrow, the other has a problem. His name is Kenneth Sharon, and he authored a grant last year for 1.33 million dollars. It came from the North Carolina Department of Information Technology, but more specifically from the office of Digital Equity and Literacy. And there's just a growing interest in getting this kind of work done. And now that we have this glorious broadband, we want to teach our residents how to take advantage of that to thrive. And I am excited to teach classes in basic computer skills. They have armed me with an amazing traveling classroom kit consisting of 10 Mac Airbooks, projector, and my fi, which is a hot one. And I just got trained up on that in Raleigh last week. I'm really excited to say that as long as I have a cell phone signal, I can set up a classroom and teach people. So I've started targeting community contacts I have. I'm very, very excited to work with our seniors right out of the gate. The Council on Aging Staff has been super supportive and they already have a full class and a waiting list for me. So I am developing a curriculum specifically geared towards seniors. One of my biggest personal platforms going into this is going to be scam prevention because anybody can be targeted by scams and it's out there and they are coming for us. So we have to be paired and it's out there and they are coming for us. So we have to be prepared, critical of our emails and everything like that. I am going to be based around the county a little bit as I go through this sort of a burning period. I will be at the Indian Woods Baptist Church with the extension on Sunday the 28th. I'm gonna be out there on the 4th of May on Wednesday. The company missed to Niko and we're going to go out to the Bertie and see and maybe make contacts out there to see how I can help them. I will also be going to the scam jam. I don't know if you've heard about this, but the Council on Aging is hosting a scam jam on the 24th of May, where they're going to have police and speakers and a great big shredder truck. So people can learn more about how not to be victimized by. Have a safe way to dispose of sensitive information documents and whatnot. And I think that's about all I've got to say I am really working hard to master the setup of that classroom kit to get the most out of it. I'm working on that curriculum. And my ultimate goal personally is to begin delivery of classes within the first half of May. Does anyone have any questions or any suggestions about types of topics you'd like to see me cover? Anybody I could be partnering with that I might not be thinking about? Yes, first of all, we're delighted first of all to have you. Thank you. Thank you. That's for sure. Somebody where your background is I'm sure filled a job quite well. A couple of things. I'm pleased to see that. I think the base community. Yes, and Indian woods. And I think that's important in our county, right? It is especially important in this county, right? And that's one name I do want to give you. Yes, so people name of Linda McNair. Linda McNair. Yeah, Mount Olet Missionary Baptist, right? Okay. One of the larger churches in the community and they have a Outreach program. They're doing, you know, we have the Medicaid expansion program here. That's the SS coming up and they've run a lot of, you know, different technology piece would be something they would. And they are well funded. The second thing is that, you know, broad band, there's grant that's already available as part we do around expanding broad ban with the cab expansion it's called digital digital learning I'm not sure what, but it's really key for communities like ours, right? So, I would be a little bit more careful in the person that reached to because this is really great for us. We haven't moved into Cabby. We did a great, great piece, but we're going to move in the new year into Cab. But this piece is just waiting for us, you know what I mean? I'm excited to hear about it. Yeah, I mean, that's two things. It get it. It focuses on people to understand the importance of broadband, right? But also get discount funded that they sign up. And I think it's $30 and the price that they get, which is subsidized by the. You know, and they have a lot of funds that try and is really well suited to get some. I agree and I'm a little nervous. Mr. Sharon Bernard initially meeting last Monday, what my first day he had suggested that funding is going to be renewed this year in the legislature. Sounds like a lot of chance of getting that subsidy. But obviously it's something we're pushing a lot. And I just, I almost forgot what I'm going to be doing is to help and people learn how to use it. And so I'm thinking like, what does it do? I'm thinking like, what does it do? And I would love to partner with the possible people. I use my charts and all that and keep up. This is how you, you know, and once we do get through a lot of these, these periods go to the end. I love the idea of maybe even taking it up. I'm saying maybe even how to use the online graph design. I'm going to go to the website and I'll show it a few. I'm going to go out and see how these are going to work. on graph design. I shot a few at the Internet all out. There's a lot of things that are happening. Whichever way works best for Bertie County residents. That's a great idea. We have a great facility here. We saw the equipment that now you have because we had, we were using computers all over the place. So, you know, I know I focus his own Bertie, but what a facility like this, there's even an opportunity maybe for reaching those something like, I'm very, very, very, very, very, folks together. It worked for Medicaid grants. I'm very very to that. Most counterparts in surrounding communities, the closest one, I think would be probably my family. She's going to be my mentor or my counterpart over. Very open to it. I'll probably be reaching out to a lot of the other just the count. I'll want to give you a call. But I'll give you the information. Okay, I'll look forward to it. Maybe I can follow it with a quick email to you after we're done. And this and Bill, this is going to pertain to you also. You know, we asked, we asked him we have a Parval Six wish with transportation in Bertie County. Okay. We have a lot of children They're in the western part of the county okay that don't have the ability to get to this location But there are locations there in West Bertie County Different things there also for example you get past a cord and is now over the Baptist church and after what her the kill for and then again you've got other pastors and there's two community centers actually we got two community centers and also a 7,000 square foot vitality center that was built and put together in the town of Louiston. Okay? Any of these people, and of course we ourselves have transportation when it comes to community vans, I mean we have recreational vans and things of that nature. If you wouldn't want to go to those locations, we need to work something out to where we're using our vans to be able to go to one of the churches and pick up the kids that are at these churches that would love to participate in what you guys are putting on because 4-H, what we're doing here is out of reach as far as transportation. Yeah, and again, that's reason we're pushing so hard West Bertie. You can't, somehow I can give you these numbers and you start making these pastors. I can guarantee you their attempt to set up to do something with you as far as getting their transportation, either their vans, our vans, the meet community center or one church or two churches picked the kid without bringing him here to do their thing then and get him back home at the same time or back to the church where you picked him up from. I couldn't agree more with my work with the arts council right and grants for some of these gorgeous murals that you've seen going up downtown. Sometimes I get the feeling that folks in our outlying municipalities is sort of like Marsha, Marsha, Marsha wins or wins or wins or and I want to make sure that we're covering the whole county geographically and just ensuring the equity of the distribution of everything to all of our communities. So I appreciate that you said that. Thank you. I think you know, Billy, we need to get a going get that worked out. I'm going to have to. And we're good work. Well, you know, honestly, I mean, we're going down to you. Got to see your center already opened up. Okay. And in the center of the. Think it's a week. But added the centralized the center of the area. I think it's way. But at it, we centralized. You can set the two. We do have a wonderful facility here. Okay. No, the Vitality Center that is in Lewiston, which is 7,000 square feet, and they've got huge meeting rooms like this. One of them is 800 square feet in itself. Okay. I put that building together for the town. So, make the customer a little bit more. Yeah, I meant to be a great place to put on a 4-8-4, you know, which you do. Billy, I mean, there's a whole quark of extension. Okay. So, start stretching out. Do you guys do? Do you do? Speaks highly of everybody for quark. Let's do this. These are just things we need to add. Start. Spend. Whatever help you need. I'm sorry. Okay. Okay. Okay. Is that the same thing as you should shut down for events? Is that a difference? Well, I have been really passionate about here and here without living in Boston, And that's more than a year of equal year. And here we've got a little bit of a positive amount of growth is taking the friend of year to the province of the intake of all coal. We try to figure out where we get any renewable energy where it goes to a particular place that we've got in our time at TDM. So they will furniture just screw it. That's what we keep in handy with. And that's why we need a bunch of champions that are changing that we need to do that. We can turn around and get this up. I mean, I give you the contact number, cell numbers, the whole nine years, which you need to be able to contact these people and get it organized. It's not something for us to try to organize for you because we don't know how to organize what you do, okay, but you would need to do that yourself, okay? You got it, right? Right, right. There's some great resources in the West Apartment site of the county. If I tell you to send this, that's where I use the name of Linda Ben-Nair, because they're already doing that just on a small network, right? But out west, and you mentioned all the other good players out there too, have to coordinate and have to fight. They jump all over them. And the vitality, and I think is really the best place where churches can bring their kids to that location. We just have to deal with one location. And they'll pick them up from there and bring them here. That would work. Absolutely. It would work. If you look at Indian was, look at how much money we put into a recreational center out there in Indian was. You know, the meeting there, and they turn it into almost like it. And I'll say that there's still no five thousand. Very well, but pitched the whole nine yards, we should be doing something out there, expanding our resources and improving it, and having things out there. All that because it's these stuff that come back before the board, but we can look at this because you know what? We're fucking out loss of poverty. You know what I'm going to be in. That's above the spoken on here in Bertie County and we're giving them the opportunity to find something that they figure out to love or look at. One of these young ladies come we honestly. The people you have working here are very inspiring okay and they can look at these people as role models leaders and things that I can do this in the future. I can be a misspeel in the future and you know run an elections board. I mean, the other way we came from the county you said it wasn't tough. One of the counts, one of the counts. I'm going to wait. I'm going to ask for you to go to sleep. Guys, can you do me? And I expect it. The extension helped me and for the woman I am today, they were down about exactly four H. Oh, good. I'm just going to go out to Indian Woods Church. I know that. Go right to go right to the to the. I've already put I've already got feelers out to him because I am so inspired by what he's been doing out there. Every flyer I see is maybe more excited. I've already talked to I've actually already chatted with the people about them because I love what's going on. You need phone numbers. If you need cell phone numbers, call me. If you need it, it's so long that you need it. Take every contact. God, I'm giving it. I'm calling. I'll just say, even though the guys didn't mention it, I may have passed the phone alerts. Thank you. Thank you. You're welcome. I really miss you. Yeah. Thank you. Thank you I think that's a second thing to reach a lot of the community. How I tried to find information about upcoming events with the arts council through the churches because of that. Actually, Ms Patricia Ferguson is the one who put me onto that. She's been a true inspiration to me to figure out how to navigate and meet and just make myself seen. So I'm very, very much looking forward to the next couple of months. Thank you so much. Thank you. We thank all this into our standard vibration package. for our extended evaluation. Oh, missioners. I got a picture of the grant set. I got. Well, I. Center and I went to all and our senior center. So I'm a mother kitchen. I started as a middle kitchen before we got this. So it's definitely. But also they're buying to the program to be from the extension management and the knowledge and that sort of thing. So Billy right now is passing out the North Carolina SCS Extension Association Impact Report for our 2024 National Extension Association FCS. So this highlights our education, full emotional, financial, and environmental health to improve the quality of life within our homes and community. In Bertie, this year, I've served over 1500 reporting 1681 program participants, but also the most recently which I know of Ron, Wes and Elrond. We got Ron. Yeah. The die, we're offering most recently the diabetes prevention and management program. And we have the natural health program dining with diabetes. And I'm a chair. I have one participant. Success story through it has had a correct and positive impact on her wife and diabetes management. She's lost 168 pounds and does it and all say she has a great advocates and she's done the work, you know, we just give the tools. So he's just, um, but she's now one of my program advocates and my extension master food volunteers. So we're really excited about that. Also, like, we are right of diabetes. In West Carolina, it's 12% is about the rate for diabetes. But we are at 19%. So we're 7% higher. And we've been offered to be a part of a CDC grant, offering health extension for diabetes, an evidence-based program from Clemson University. And so we're partnering with Auburn University and Georgia. And so this is. Um. So we're going to be. So we're going to be. We're going to be. No. We're going to be. We're going to be. We're going to be. We're going to be. We're going to be. We're going to be. We're going to be safe. We're going to be safety offered the North Carolina State program. Safe plates for food managers to the to our school cafeteria staff and restaurants and the school had five managers that attended and the restaurants had two restaurant folks and they all sat us as well. They come have to retake. And it turns to be a little more. And so anyhow, but it meets all the requirements needed for the health inspector. So move into childhood obesity prevention. I currently have supported funding from steps to health that snap head persistence to provide within the schools, illness, education, and the families that those recently, we've been interested in that, the award now for the advisory, from what we have to do is to be able to to answer the questions that we have. So, I think it's too, to food and nutrition. This is a 2 which you have a handout for that. This is the red one with these days. The county's highlighted there. We've on our I obese grant to provide clinical and evidence based education program into reduce obesity to our community. So tonight with ECU program. I get fit for six weeks and I have 21 registered currently. So sorry. The greatest impact next year and from all this and I hope you may join to still and share with your constituents. So do you have any questions for me? Thank you. I'm a teacher of teachers, but I'm also a teacher of students. She did that through all the interviews, all ways and interviews. I think the first thing is, is it not where you're at, but the students really do what they want to do. Yeah. So you know, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, not just for this program for private exchange, has been there. You have one coming today from Northwood, Northwood, makes real in French and German. I'm going to say, you're going to be left. I'm going to be left. I'm going to be left. I'm going to say, you're going to be left. I'm going to say, you're going to be left. I'm going to say, you're going to be left. I'm going to say, you're going to be left. I'm going to say, you're going to be left. I'm going to say, you're going to be left. I'm going to Thank you. I'm going to go back to the next slide. I'm going to go back to the next slide. I'm going to go back to the next slide. I'm going to go back to the next slide. I'm going to go back to the next slide. I'm going to go back to the next slide. I'm going to go back to the next slide. I'm going to go back to the next slide. I'm going to go back to the next slide. I'm also the Consumer Horticultural Agent, Marshall Horticultural Agent, Petsite Coordinator, and the Mountain Threatment Coordinator for the town. Some of the research that we're doing to bring information to the farmer directly. Here in quality extension we do a lot of research. We want to bring data to the farmer or to the horticulturalist. quality of extension we do a lot of to want to bring data to the former or to the quarter culturalist. One of the things that we are very proud of is eating up with other counties in the northern coastal plain, corn, hybrid test. So in Bertie, 2023, we're in corn for about. In 2023, we're in corn production. Now, it's mainly motivated. Also about half is top. Very high-quality and top-use tea company. It's giant. It's 40 feet as a US. It's able to. Incy state, the production for one acre of corn will be about $9 the acre and they're from can I think approximately a $220 per acre loss to the best form so margins are not good but it's in for those who just were points in important rotational crop but those who were in peanuts and other stocks are also a very important rotational crop. To keep that to the point for every three months we get through this. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you individual sites and of those sites we had nine dry land locations to simulate dry land production in Bertie County as well as two irrigated sites. So these were all strip trials they weren't replicated in site but it allows us from a research standpoint to pull all that data together and help make recommendations to the grower. We want with some of the seed companies that are locally relevant and their distributors, we use a common check seed through all of those so we could compare cross-slides. So, here in Bertie County, what were two entities? One was the peanut belt research station where we have our prime field and there is going to talk some more about the other research we're doing in the county, but we work a lot with the peanut belt research station. It's a great resource right? And then in the corner of the wing heaps. So this is a lot of data when you bring all that in. It's a very big one. The corn roll or most farmers have, yeah, it's basically, they would recommend management statements. I can't be acceptable to say the death point of point of decision not possible. So I want to strike this down a little bit so I look much. I will go further this down just a little bit and then when the next slide comes up on Eric down to just vertice. So you see this the same day a little bit expanded so you guys can see it next slide. Yeah. Our next part. So then we're going to look just at BOTB next. But this is so like I told you earlier, the county average year of the budget 2020 for you. If you take these types together, we feel like we're representing county pretty well. You can see there's a big difference as far average as 177 versus 119. So speaking the right one, you're located. It's a story. The former is if we generate it, that's not the city of the city. Five or nation. 40 is important has about, but I came on here in the I was a lot more locally relevant data there was plenty of data being generated wanted to give the grow Something that is relevant across Here to get your password really We were interested in the future of the weather. Here it has some really serious issues. So if we take a look across the bottom, spaces across all those dry land sites, these would be in the top third of that. I would encourage the grower to look at this top third. They select from this area. It was good across environments. What point do you think? The next important thing is how can we look at the clock time? So we did this trial in 2020. We only have four stocks. We did in 2023. We're going to do it again in 2024. And you notice that things that are up in the top in 2022. Jeff, Joe. Thanks. I got a lot of things. Thank you. In October, 2022, we're in the top 30. Again, the phone is pretty. You know, the bar is too slow. We can't get that. I thought this was starting a little bit of. Thank you. If you want us to just get workings on, trying to lose people would do which is a thing of always search day. So it's on 22. So you're in top third, you stayed in top third, you win the bottom two third, you stay in the cons of play. You're in the first. Next slide. So the importance of this. I talked to you earlier about the 200 points of breaker law. This is forecasting for the corn growing. If you just look at the data that we generated in our area. If you are hero and you pick that's the best, you lost another two. Well, if you were just average, if you get the next line, and click again, or twice. If would just above average, or from the best to average, it was another $94 a acre. So when we talk about this across the 30th, it loses $4 million and $6 million. It's a very important place to run. It's hard to pay a report, but we can speak about a part of the fair or the least speaking follow up. Here this year they can generate some revenue or profit. So in 2024 we're going to do this again. We're going to add two sites. We're going to add one in Green County. We're going to add one in pick. I'll help bring in number data for us. You're in this county so that we can present that to the fund. The bus data set will be on on your getting and bring to be here again. These are some resources for the 13 county farmer. Look at that. And do you have any questions for me? I have was a lot. I get I got a question. Yes, sorry. We saw a conference or things that my interest self-destructing for the federal backpool of loss. For example, you're sure more than 200 some dollars an acre loss correct? Yes, sir. Is that being subsidized back by the federal government at all? It includes the corporate insurance. Yes. Okay. So if it's there, that's not the property. The state of rural work. You take the the property. You're taking the end date for whoever's providing you to have that profit. So if you do show loss and crop insurance, that's in and take care of it from there. Yeah, they take well, they'll cover a percentage of your historical yield. You yield over five years. I think or something like sir. Yes, sir. If you don't have five years a day, they'll take the county average, average depending on what entity you are. Gotcha. Yes, sir. And I know you guys push a little bit for time. Could you talk a little bit about forestry and importance of forestry here in Berchtey County and the recent association that was just formed around forestry? So I thought that was important. It's very important and forestry in this county is very important as well. And the management of that most of the time if you're of four street landowner you only are going to see maybe one revenue stream off of that or one time to click revenue off of that for you now I will say that Billy's probably more of the authority on this to talk about this than I am especially with forming the association he's been working directly with that but it's very important as a total management plan for landowners. In the numbers what like 40 was about 43 million dollars for a number two in the state. There's another 40. I know we're up there. Yes, really close. So thanks. Okay. Any other question? Yes. All right. I'm sorry. Please. I'm sorry. You're a lot of data. I'm sorry. I need to improve what we can bring forward to the citizens. I'm a little bit about our ability and what we do with corn. Just to kind of let you know we're not getting by other commodities. We had my 13th. In Canada, some of these were with our coal mix both. We had three four sites to do with some research. And we had a variety of trials. Works. We had a few things. We had three different things. We had a few things to do with the other. I can't even mention what Edward is doing. These are ones that run strictly by NC State. We have a soybean site and a cornstripe latch in both of those were in the Watson Party County. One was not too far from rocks, but it was actually close to the reach of the station. But again, that gets information more than we can give to the growers and makes them decisions on that. We had a couple of things we caught and they'd also move on on. We had our fourth meeting and Commissioner Wesson talked a little bit about that. So this is about a six year we've been trying to get our wood and owners together and we finally came about and got our Farge Association formed. You know we've been in the top two but three as far as income. The four to three things to say go back to you. So association is to try to bring education resources to the smaller land owners and the larger land owners. Right, everyone was saying most of these guys were only sale timber once or twice in their in their in their lifetime. So we don't expect to make them experts in what to do, but help them to have ideas of what questions to ask. I know where to go. You know, go to far, to offer to go to consultants and then be able to digest the information that they give them. So that's something we're working on. Also, we're trying to promote the timber industry, you know, within the area. So we mentioned a couple times about the Chrome Regional Ag Exponent. This is something we've partnered with the surrounding county with Hartford, North Africa and Hal Faxx for about four years now. And this has been hosted at the research station in Lewiston. Last year we had over 100 people attending that. There were growers, consultants, Ag business people. We do a survey each year and other people that were there they represent over 57,000 acres, you know in those in those counties. I think it's broken a survey out. The district was always there. They're asking a person for that. They probably information work. They came up with $90. So what about 17,000 acres of the world was there, which paid about $1.6 million of the benefit to those people that were there. The real thing with the inside of that is that we're in a state of the regional major field days in the state. So we're taking to do that. One thing we were excited about was the press covers that we got after this particular session. I think it's not that you fall flat. There's a regional ag public space. We'll give you all the names of those over the night. We'll come to the air. We'll come to the air. We'll come to the air. We'll come to the air. We'll come to the air. We'll come to the air. We'll come to the air. We'll come to the research done with this spying spray machine that John Deers come out with is the first time has been shown in the public. It goes down the road. You can see the You know what? You can see the I think that tried to everybody. I just don't know. It's all with an empty lady. So it's all with us. And so it's okay for that. The experimental model that is was used by NC State. Johnny had got a commercial model there. They run a couple million dollars or so. You know, we put it out there, but it's made to exceed that they got that they've cut off, I've opened it off, I've opened it up, I've opened it up, I've opened it up, I've opened it up, I've opened it up, I've opened it up, I've opened it up, I've opened it up, I've opened it up, I've opened it up, I've opened it up cornpine if it was talking about it. We had one hamburger who's a corn specialist at his son, Dr. Want, the hamburger who... That's the only thing that's fine to talk about. To really find a bite of it, basically, the sub-groups we got. We've been planning the new field trials. Okay, thank you for the product. Correct. Shiloh, there's two. We'll have a cake in the question. Oh, correct. She'll have to be able to take the old one. Here, all the way. About that. It's decided to be a lot better here. Well, it's just. So it'll support any other questions that might have. Our group. Okay, if not, we want to record anything where she had gone out, keep going together, keep going. We're saying, get that direction and we'll, every possible. Thanks. Thank you. Thanks. I will take this. Once again, Jason takes a reach that's right. We're going to be forwarding by one, whether you rely on a few people on half of every 10. The annual date of the pandemic next year, so I would just like to start January, then the most they answered. So the department has been so about the managing unit. Eighth note, eighthundred minutes. We know. We know. What is usually the date that is good by us? We should ask. I think it with April partners. Yeah, April partners. So the project is in the initiatives that's embedded all under partners, you know, the class for Monday. So, I'm trying to give a sense for. Thank you. So, you're talking about for the next next budget. Well, this next budget is in yellow. Yeah, so I'm trying to understand what you're talking about because when you say, when is the, when you talk about January, that's not the next budget, that's the following. Future listed, those are what you're saying. What, the problem is going to be the same. She's not talking about funding. You're talking about planning. What aspect of it? What are you talking about? Because if you're talking about connecting the plan to what's to the money, that's gotta be done. I'll come back next couple of months. Thank you. About this subject, you. Okay. I'm just gonna say. Okay. You're not. What not here on it. What is it? So, Jack, the medicine, the issue that it seemed to be approved. And yes, for you. Well, you're at We're asking if we have some changes in our business schedule plan. The pilot department 50.4. We're being related next year. Which is the beginning of the group. They should be requesting funding for the group to identify and the resources that they need now to go into the FY25 budget, or any FY budget that has to be given in the end so that you may have to see the gateway halfway to the end of the year, and at least have sitting in the game where halfway through the year, and at least, got those things. So we'll just stick to the same timeline that the park had station projects. Pretty much, yeah, because we can't work with adults. If we have to, adults, but if I do, I've heard that. That's the only way it's going to get in. I've been to all the people in the past. But I mean, I've been to all the people in the past. It's got to be the same task. I just interact with the rhythm for due dates. So if we started and then you know, you do, and we have a due date, we can start tracking. When we have to have an information right. We have to have read up a list of great opportunities. Thank you. So schedule for citizen review. I think we just talked about that first. Going to municipalities and having it made my people create a pipeline by the margin for a large power for a 2% from the level of a percentage of them. That's not something. And that's a palliades report. They're stuff today, citizens in open image. I think they have to. Yeah, you know, writing such that the reaching out through the DVD process, you know, destination, routine. Everything is connected. No, it's too simple. It's the first possible. The reason I say this is because it was great that this power is what we want to line up with some of these. We're talking about for them, but with their participation in terms of their dollars. I have an open. There'd be a great place to see them for a lot of time. Right. Yeah. Well, I'd like to hear needs too. Right. Oh, yeah. I mean, I think they were too. They're meeting, right? Oh, so. Yeah. Good. No, that's good. All right. So I'll report to Juan then and David about tightening up the money and see where there's overlap that department heads have already asked for and then pull that apart. I'm fine. Other items needed. We want to speak. And I think bar. Be certain for our planet. Okay. Thank you. So two quick things. And then we just go to work. Why not. This is for a couple of minutes. And I was in the wild. Well, we received planning. And once this engineer report is done and that's the leadership and nation of the group Hopefully, it has passed about the Michigan-Franco-Fruvo. But what I'm giving to not planning the pandemic being the primary agent of David Starbor, and the final superintendent being the second-varied agent. And once this is approved, then we would have so share a trying to play song so that they can then finish the contract documents. I think that was a very good. emotion. These are emotional notes. I think. I think that's what I'm going to do. It's. Third. Better. Yes. Yes. Um. This is a request for activities at the top of the order. No fund ideas required at the count. They're not any customer funds. password funds, but this is the term is needed research right on the work. I started being really active in Berkeley, which is a huge, brand-riding resource, super active in environmental research. She and her fellow named Shoeleon and I, I had a June yesterday and they've already developed a research project on the Northern Downtering, Cliff area and down to the Popsilab, I think, to make more sense. I'm going to make more sense. I'm going to make more sense. I'm going to make more sense. I'm going to make more sense. I'm going to make more sense. I'm going to make more sense. I'm going to make more sense. I'm going to make more sense. I'm going to make more sense. I'm going about this. This will give us a lot of data that we need to move forward on the rest of the phase two phase three. I have another I have another I have another I have another I have another I have another I have another I have another I have another I have another I have another I have another I have another I have another I have another I have another I have another I have another I have another I have another I have another I have another I have another I have another I have another I have another I have another I have another I have another I have another I have another I have another I have another I have another I have another I have another I have another I have another I have another I have another I have another I have another I We've received one from the Sheriff's Office of the Water Department.

If you say what happened the second chance, is that just you're not, I'd be fired. She's in there. For the chance, there will first, there's one, there's one program, then have, you know, about the runnet or what? What? Hmm. Yes. I'm going to So saying We then build a head of faith. So Okay. Please. So I'm Okay. Next time I'm going to go on. I'll oppose. What else would you have done? That is all that I have for the board. So is that for the. Is this going to be the set 37. Is there any resolution to five? All in one event. The mother of. Yeah. We've been the mother of the nine percent sugar. Yeah, I'm just going to know what's the first thing you can do. I'm going to have to just go on with some dirty. Contact. You're obsessed or if they need to be consistent. I tend to invest in the 4H program. And so we've got to check to present to the 4-H program. And so we've got a check to present to the Bertie County. The youth Bertie was founded by another, other than your chair, Ron Wesson. And for the opportunity to be in that. And then folks in a Bercy County. For photos and what we want to go for, right up there, okay, absolutely, that'd be fine. Great. So I don't know, I don't know.
