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. I'm going to say I'm going to try to tell you what we're going to do. So we have a motion to leave for the board to make the balance. So we will continue to do the rest of the recommendation for most of the commission's and the court of bounds. So say, thank you, boy, for the person in I'm going to go ahead and say hi. Next, the current ABC board for the close to distribution came up with a schedule. Yes. Chairman, Michael Pregnant, Chair, we see board, you know, that's the question that the mission is to bring them to the waiting scene board that is actually what and what is the mission approval on what kind of particular that mission came up schedule that is traditionally what we made March, personally in March of each year. Thank you, discussion. We have a motion of the police. I'm going to accept the request for an individual. So I think that much is needed. Okay, for a second. So the first and second, I'll very say aye. Thank you. We have special projects on the problem in the solar problem, pay, should have done it available. We'll be skipping over the problem in the solar problem, pay, we should not have done it available, we'll be skipping over that point at the time, okay? And moving on to the next. Next is going to be a learning domain in the grant, and we'll show the possible progress of the day, because the system can't have a day strong on. Good morning, Doug. Good morning, everybody else. the point. The point. The point. The point. The point. The point. The point. The point. The point. The point. The point. The point. The point. The point. The point. The point. The point. The point. on your next year's desk that I'm going to talk about with this. If you will, there are a lot of people in here and there are several new and commissioners who may not be totally aware of this. The grant and what we got and how it was allocated and what purpose of it was. So if you give me about five minutes to talk about that and then we can talk about next steps and what we need to do. The intent of the grant was not singing. Okay, the intent of the grant was to expand the emergency response capabilities and increase fire suppression of technical rescue support, as well as address the need for hazardous material response in areas such as Lewis and Woodville area and in the Maryhill Midway area Purdue and evoka. There was a. I'm sorry I'm like very ahead of you. There was a more. All right, the way the allocates was broken up, it was so out. Three million dollars to address the facility facilities for fire suppression and EMS and fire suppression. One and a half million to go to Lewis and Woodville area. One and a half million to go to Midway, Mary Hill. Two and a half million was set aside to, was allocated to fire trucks for the Kelford, Lewiston, Midway and Mary Hill areas and also a main dogs house for a ladder truck in Windsor. There's an asterisk by that Windsor ladder truck because my understanding is is there are some other needs for fire equipment there that maybe ladder truck is not the best piece of equipment to go there right now. And so that would be something we of the where it was distributed. We'll talk about first about the Lewis and Woodville Fire area, the intent of the grant was to build out the existing building, apparently if they were to get a new vehicle. And I'm saying a lot of apparently because mid-droid this before he was here and so I don't know a whole lot about the specifics except for the fact that apparently if they get a new fire truck the current facility will not house it and so in order to house that and to provide better fire and EMS protection in that area the intent was to build out that building to go ahead and turn it to the next page, as you can see, to expand upon that building to build another bay that would house the fire trucks and also create a EMS with bay with quarters in the existing building. And what that would also do is to increase the fire rating of that area and so that was the first one. The second one is the Maryhill midway. Also again, go ahead and put to the next page so we can see the picture also to expand about the the existing building to create a fire station EMS building and to increase the fire range of that area, that 750,000 loss of the woodville was allocated 1.5. The Mary Hill midway site was $750,000. What more paid? There's also the option, also allocated in the grant was to build a Substation which would not house fire any MS. That's my bad just house fire a fire truck in the midway Maryhill area Closer to evoka and to O'Connor which would Decrease the response time for that area for roughly 10 minutes if I'm correct. Go ahead and put it on the tight. There's the this is the general area of what we're talking about where this station, this substation would be. It would just house a fire truck. That's all it would be. We have several volunteers that live in that area that we would get to that very quickly. And then address the fire needs. The factors in that are the, are the, it does decrease the response time by about 10 minutes, but puts areas that are currently have no insurance protected classes, that it's not a protected class, it will give them a protected class rating, which will decrease their insurance rates substantially. And as a result, it also increased the economic development potential for that area. Because right now it's the highest because they have no fire protection. The insurance rates are extensive. Okay, next one. So, I'm sorry, back up. Okay. So the recommendation and what I think what Administration has been discussing is our next steps. We think we really need to coordinate the equipment needs with the fire departments To find out again, like I said from Windsor. Is it a ladder truck that need now or do they need a pump or I think it's a larger tanker truck, right? Or something to that effect and There are piggyback beds that are available for the fire equipment So once we get with the fire department to determine what they need. I know Lewiston has already I have a copy of one that was given to me, Lewis, and it already actually scoped out a fire truck. So there's one that they have identified. It's about 400 and it's under $500,000. I won't quote, journal access. But because of that, I think it's important that we meet with the departments to scope out what they need and then look at what we can piggyback and order and go ahead and order them. Fire trucks take two years to get. So, and the good news is that they also get, fire stations also get grants from the state. Is it right? All right. From the state that I'm asking from coaching over here because I don't know the thing in these guys are, I saw these guys here, it's all SM. But they get 100% grants from the state, which they can use to equip the fire trucks with the equipment that's needed on them to address suppression and first response for hazardous calls of that nature. The next thing to do is also would be to coordinate the location and building needs with the fire departments listed will bill and midway Mary Hill so that we can determine what needs they have and then we have an RFQ that's for an engineering firm that's already developed that we can then my problem was I didn't know what to put down as far as what type of building or where so that's why we need to meet with them to discuss those and Then once we've done that select an engineering firm to design an engineer the building and move forward with it um I think I've covered everything that's the whole the intent of the grant and the purpose of it our next steps for basically to work with the fire departments to find out what type of equipment they need and How we best need to address the building and facility. And the location identify location in that. Mary Hill area, I think there is some ideas out there, but I didn't want to point out any particular property until we know something for sure once we we do that, then we can move forward. We've received the funds, the funds are in the bank. So it's now just a matter of coordinating and moving forward with getting. Yeah, I think he said for the lines of the, so against the different, I'm not going to talk about the second thing that we have talked about the lowest and the lowest for the organization that said, yeah, I didn't notice the benefit of that. We weren't there for it. It's not our fifth moment on the end. It's a different relief place than we built. It was a 20-mile-hour run, so they came here with the annual disputes. But when we built the end of the stage in one, we used it in the end there, to be able to do that. But it doesn't mean it can't be recent order to make that happen. You know, what we get in here and it's going to add an omit to it. The same thing with bid money. Okay. Oh, good. Good point. It's an exception. We're going to have a state situation where there are also, the men who are going to be involved in that. the same situation there also. The demand for a good model and that's pretty much quite a good one. We involved with this with several of them there. I like it hard walking this way through. We've used the system for the anti-manager. We've wanted to get these things lined up. and then we'll call for everybody. So you've just going on. Money out. You got a name for the patient, which you know, like you know, let's get it. Why? Yes. Oh, if they're going to start that kind of thing, one of our, we can see the way we, we don't get one of the three things. We can't wait for it. All of the, and we're going to have a wonderful, great thing. It's been a winter, a long, all over the franchise, to come and have a wonderful, loud and sedation, it's been a very, very, very, very, very, very, very exciting. Cause, it's all about the problems. They just put them down now. Okay. All they're gonna say about that is that, thank you, Mr. Good for receiving it. I think the most important thing is that any people all of our farmers are going to get the volume done here. I'm trying to get an understanding of what we've evolved in meaning. I'm only involved with our consultants getting back to the state and saving through the money. I'm just wondering what the reason why the fire movements were seen and what I like this is because the basis of the money in the world's economy has a very first response. And the two biggest hazards, I'm sorry, then the county is going to be above the emergency and then produce in the group area. And I'll get into them and say, well, it's a little more step. We've got a lot of houses in there. We have a lot of people going to the area and that produced the area. I've had the centers there and the US centers are already and they see what has it is the source. The community is not in a community. We thought the money was $8,000. They got $20,000 a piece. They got $40,000 a little bump. L.P. All those cities there were substandard wouldn't play the fight by five. The other thing is there are no waterlines now. We're going to put the water in the water. These are all in the fire. I'm just going down the water. You've got the best place to land that down there now. You've got nasty gas substations over there. The car ran the extraction was sent on there. You got, you got, Berlin has two in their building, it was total five, and we're master exploded, and we're also revealed that if you look up the fire at the pit, it was up there, it's almost like they just big. They had a chemical in that plant that were actually hit at a chemical, but we sure. And you can pretty darn believe it's a specific site site, so we can find that also a few periods of time, we can have a thing with the store and with the, with the got there to, as, just get a minute to respond to the problem. How fitting are trucks? Some place we may not be able to fight with more. Just going to have you some sort of phone call. I don't love these things that we're going to get in touch with them and talk to you about this about. So, and again, if I could be very supportive of that, there's a big reason I think we're going to have that as a major disaster. And if you've only ever believed out of the video, talk to three more by mile radius before the evacuation. I'm thinking then that our next steps with this would be I'd like to schedule some meetings with the fire departments in regards to the vehicles equipment first and then maybe get get that started. I tried, I did send out an email to the grantor, but I have not heard back from them yet in regards to if $5.5 million is not going to cover everything that I've just identified here, you know, two buildings, three buildings and four trucks, then do we, are we able to prioritize and if we do, then we'd have to come back to you once we get all the information together to identify you know where we're going to spend the money what's the first money. If for example the million dollars we've set aside for a new ladder truck it's not what you need me didn't and I'm just throwing it out numbers here the truck that we find is $750,000. Are we able to allocate that additional money to one of the other issues that we identified in here? You know, add on to the building or a different truck or that type of thing. I'm waiting for response to them to find out what types of commitment we have because the granted itself doesn't specify only $500,000 to this place, only $500 to this one. It basically has a grouping, this much for vehicles, this much for building construction. that we studied about the cost of the time, getting the standard, even in the current, so there's, it was clear that we were likely not going to be able to get enough of our all of what we do to lead priority standards. The impact that we're on the Western unfortunate of the county, where this Johnson and the June, and one of the pieces that we really have the skeptics for the possibility of having a impact in which serving on the right is because I have a significant impact in which it is not a big impact. That's a big problem here. But I just gave the right for the possibility that the value of the individual portion that the expansion of the life of reaching the peak. So those were the two, you know, top spots that we want to hold, to go up the village, right? But it doesn't mean that there can't be a digital spot that we can fly forward, but we need to get started. Right. And I hate to say it, but the possibility of a problem right there, we cannot have it, but I by the reason I had it, or the reason I was gathered, but that's what my question is. What is our plan around the evacuation? Back in what you think, so that would wanna be brought, but you have to, I don't see it in engine here in the tunnel. There was nothing in the grant that identified that, so I didn't cover any of that because I didn't,'m not aware of that this is first I've heard from this. to get a floor and a room to serve the whole time. Guy, of course, that time of the year, was much better because that yellow and yellow made a thing about that for the other. Height was to a year, that is more guessing. It was more than a million thousand miles that brought him the last set of downs and he'd love the director also to get the stuff ripped up. All that was filed for action. And more than a million dollars, to get the stuff ripped up, all that was filed for it. And for me, I'm going to be telling all of Mexico a lot. OK, that was the pushing me into the back. Specialty is playing such an important part. Once we get back, we soon have a set of suit we can get that money also. But look at what we have here. I mean, it's a big star. It's big enough. So I told the fact that for it, it's a big star, big, big, small, to fly up for a big, tiny star, so I'm going to move forward. The loss of that one, and not being too big, that it's not going to be a problem. But when we get that through our case, and that means something that's like, like, front, that if we are saying that these funds will accomplish product on the bed stuff, that's great. But in case something does happen, in any kind of work we're going to need to evacuate both. I want to make it clear that the system evacuation, the ability to not be standard in the product. So we're going to make sure we need to make sure that that's given a power of 24. Very good. Okay, so just to recap then, what I want to do is make sure that I meet with the fire departments to identify the vehicle's equipment first and get that lined up. Not move forward until we get the, you okay with here. But because we haven't been able to determine yet either if I can say, hey, Jody, you've got $500,000 to go by trucking to me, bring me the invoice. I haven't been able to figure it and get that confirmation yet. So until we know we are the one we can do that or not, we're going to manage the funds, but we're going to work with you to identify the vehicles or whatever we need to do and we'll work through that if that's done. The second piece will be then to meet with the fire stations to lose in an area and the Lewis and Woodville areas. He's that I don't want to just exclude him and the Mary Hill midway area apartments to talk about what we see the facilities to be and what we need from that. And along with that, John, I can work with them to start identifying your evacuation plan and how we get up that piece of it. Okay? All right. Thank you for that. the Okay, this is the which one is this I got two things on my animal shelter. All right, so in regards to the animal shelter, I've attempted to reach Bill Daggett, but he's been out of the state. Well, he didn't, he lives in Virginia, but he has been in Kansas visiting families for the past several weeks and so he won't be back until Wednesday, but I've submitted some questions to him. The questions I've sent to him are it does the Tarell County Shelter plan is provided, which I gave him another copy of for meet the current state NC State uniform building codes and the requirements for the Animal Welfare Act. And if so, can you would you be willing to develop plans that would replicate that shelter? And also told him, I said, realizing this is above the scope of his current contract, what does that mean in terms of, how we need to address that before, if he does it. I also reached out to Amy Lynn, who's our state inspector for the animal welfare. And asked her a number of the same questions. I asked her if she was familiar with the trail county shelter. If she if she was, could this shelter be replicated and meet all the animal welfare act requirements as well as the NC State Building codes? I asked her, what would we need to do to bring the existing Bertie County animal shelter up to 100% compliance so that they would be happy with that and explain to her that we had funds available. Basically, it's made to her that we did everything we promised them we would do. We put together a plan, we reached out to develop a new shelter. It just caught the expenses of it were more than what we had available. So we're looking at other options. And then I asked her, asked her if she needed to come and look at the animal shelter again to give us a better feel for what needed to be done to bring it up to a hundred percent compliance. Which you like to come and visit again. Well, that's great because now I have an inspection coming up. But that's okay. We're ready for that. Our response was that the last facility compliance inspection was in March of 24 and it was approved. So technically the shelter is in compliance, technically. The items that I have seen are more of a staff issue than building issues. Most of the non-compliant problems, proper sanitation, documentation, maintenance of the dog houses, continuous fresh water, cleaning and fans, et cetera. Could resolve if there were more staff. The current shelter for now, but larger shelter is into accommodate the growing population and hopefully decrease the shelter's euthanasia, put numbers. It would be ideal to have an indoor outdoor shelter with guillotine doors to keep the animals comfortable, temperature, starting to winter in summer months. I don't recommend the layout of the trail county, in my opinion, that setup is no better than what you have now. And I hope you have had your answer to your questions. If not, the shelters do for its annual inspection. Let me know when I can come down and see you. So I'm going to call and get her to come down here and do it. That's where we are right now with that. We, um, I'm waiting here back from, um, still by the middle to the end of this week. So maybe by the next meeting will be having a little bit more information for you on that. And, um, based off of that, and by then, um, hopefully, Amy will have come down and we can talk a little bit more about that as well. But the, uh, the thing that problems for having now, we have one full time gentleman who is responsible for cleaning the shelters twice a day and hosting them down, feeding the animals, walking the animals, which is what the Humane society helps with feeding all the animals and it's it's task that he can do, but in terms of that pretty much takes all of the day. So doing the repair work and the clean the other cleaning the fans and the updating the fencing and the painting and stuff like that are additional duties that what she has identified a lot of the violations that we've had over the past several years or even before I was here are because those things have been like go and so what she's suggesting it which which I'm just what she said is more mean of power probably would eliminate some of that, that more people could focus on the issues that they need to be done. Thanks. Yeah, I think, just a little bit of a novel we've talked about last time. I just checked that. I think the official payroll managed to do is that new standard data that we've been talking about. Is that open air for him to the cost when we care about the cost? Yeah. But that is something that we need something better. I was just looking at another option. Should we not be able to do move forward with anything else? What can we do to that one to at least keep it going? going a couple more years. Is it a manpower of the shoeboards that at the time of the past? Pardon me? Is it a manpower of the shoeboards that at the time of the past? No, I mean, it's a manpower of the past. I would honestly believe both. It's not it's not it's about. Okay. If I hear it when I get my responses back from both her and from Bill, I'll bring that forward again at the next meeting we can at least have a little bit more input on that. I'm still I'm next to so ask about court. All right, so I want to, I'm, I was asked on them. Okay, if you recall, in February, we put an RFP out for construction of a basketball court at the Bertie County Recreation Complex. And we posted it in the State procurement site. We posted it on our website and on our Facebook pages. The proposal included clearing and grabbing the area to be accessed and grading the area installation of an asphalt court, installation of basketball posts and goals, regulation basketball court, the lines for it, but sport lighting up and fencing. The proposal included two addendums, which are basically give us this price, but then add, tell us how much more it would cost to do this and how much more cost to do that the two endendums addressed including a pickle or pickle ball court equipment and striping for it and want to address tile flooring rather than asphalt and I can't even find a view on April 8th and explain to you that we had received no proposals for this project. When I brought this to your attention, I asked for directions for the next steps. I provided several options, which included reallocating the funds to several other projects that you were trying to address at that time as well as reposting the RFP. The consensus that we had at that meeting was to include this on an upcoming work session to discuss. And because I believe Mr. Wesson, I believe you were out on the 8th, so we really don't want to discuss anything to you there. On Friday, County Manager brought us to my attention. I've actually since then, I've contacted Donna Mizzale, our Parks Recreation Director, and requested that she do some additional research to determine if there were any companies in Bertie County that might be willing to consider this project. It's my opinion that the success of this project might benefit from further discussion from Y'all as to the location and the success of this project might be, might benefit from further discussion from you all as to the location and build out of this project. What it is you want to see on this project and because, I mean, what exactly you were exactly and what are you willing to do for good? We only had about $53,000 for that, right? So I mean, the RFP that I put out was based off of several conversations we had, but there's things that you's, no one's. No one's. For us. It was always out in the early days of the moment area. They didn't have that. Now the heritage, no one's been to Detroit, D.C. So they were to do the whole of my yards. That's the end of the yard. Then they made a big ball in the one place. What a shame. That was an additional part of it. That's why that was an addendum just to see how much more that would cost it was an initial part of it. Maybe we can get a bit of a circle, but we wouldn't do the feet tree, but he's don't know that. We'll make players around here, and we'll grab Garwin and think of it without any lectures involved. Well, we have, I'm sure we have no fans. We can go with the living question. I think it's something that I'm going to do in the United States. I think that can. Well, the location that we identified as putting it in I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. The location that we identified as putting it in was one of two areas at the recreation center. This was the one that had parking already existing parking next to it and had power coming to the parking lot so that we could extend out to to provide the lighting for the court. I mean, I'm going to wear them all. I think those said it's about minutes. Sorry. Probably really a genuine comment there. The mayor. In the end, this is the set on our agenda. We're doing time that we get this job. We need to go, and we need to get it done, because we know that citizens have asked for it. I think it calls me. Every single month saying, why can't a county to the South Pole basketball? And there's no excuse for that. I mean, I don't understand we can look at that. I understand it came back. But my recollection is that the last meeting I attended, we said the same thing we were saying in a day, we should look for local donors of contract who can get the job done. That was two months ago. And yet now we say the same thing. Whatever we need to do, David. Another meeting with the board, whatever it is, what it's got task boards together, we need to get this done. We need to get some things that we can have forward. We need to make it a simple we can't afford. We need to be tomatoes, and we need to be, not the label case, right? Because one of the things that the community said to us is that they did not want to copy. They wanted to composite surface, right? That was something that we asked for originally, I know. But anyway, let's give this some time already and move this thing along. You know, there's no reason we can't get this done. I'm just gonna be wondering if we don't have this kind of time. That's just moving. Okay. So here's my problem. My concern, not a problem is, you know, here. But a concrete court basketball court down. But the composite down, but lights on it, don't put lights on it, put it where they can access it at night, but we can't do it at night without lights. You put it at the rec center, if the rec center is only so many places, we can put it where there's not something already there, which we would have to make, cut the woods, clear and grab it to make it done. Put it in the right center and have it at night, but yet the facility closes at dark. So then if we leave it open and that means there's more staffing issues that are addressing making sure that there's people there. So please, days, not months, make a decision about what we want. Okay. If you get the money, we knew what we wanted. Don't even know what we wanted. Mr. Wesson, I did, we did make a decision as to where we were going to put it and we identified that. We put two, and but the problem is that it's going to cost money to do that piece of it. But like I said, I'm getting mixed messages to each time concrete versus composite. Which one do we do? We're going to just do a concrete. We'll do a concrete. I didn't do a concrete bid because I was told that we wanted a composite. So, you tell me what you want me to put out there and I will try and get the quotes to do that. But when I have different responses each time as to what to do, the RFP that I put out covered lighting and fencing and asphalt, and then added on the composite as an additional piece. That's a few people. Keep positions, recreation, you data that's a public yet they need me that come back to us with these answers. Back to what you just said. Probably. You can tell me that that's what the. The word is however, again, from along the New York, it's like I'm talking about it, but it's still some idea of being caught out there. There was nothing that you come from the board. So we know something that you know from the board. That's how I'd be like to more. We knew that I'm like the same. That over here because we didn't get any bias, we wouldn't hold out before and we said we were discussing at this work session. So now we discussed it because we get some direction from the board so we know exactly what you like. Can you just take a pencil plus ball and also here that is a concrete cord, two cord. You have a promise to citizen, a cord with lines, to be able to make a line, to make a line, to make a line, to make a line. The last gift is your promise. The promise is going to be going before the concrete is going to be going. And that's what happened. That's what happened. That's what happened. That's what that's what that's what that's what that's what that's what that's what that's what that's what that's what that's what that's what that's what that's what that's what that's what that's what that's what that's what that's what that's what that's what that's what that's what that's what that's what that's what that's what that's what that's what that's what that's what that's what that's what that's what that's what that's what that's what that's what that's what that's what that's what that and you really just like your nail, you got that right. So why can we have that back? That's what I heard. And that's what we say we're gonna do. I don't know why I'm gonna run it. Right? What I'm now saying, you know, you got to make that today, what I come up with, what we can do with the fun, what we've had, right? And what these other things that might go beyond would have taught. Right? Because our homes are seen. Right? So we didn't get any bit of need on money. And so we said, well, I don't want to be the same. Right? That's just, we didn't have to have enough. And we have some hands with the nation of all of them. What we did, this is what we did. We did what we wanted, what we wanted, and what we did, and how much of that can be done with the language of that. And what we did, the digital clock, the others, how many of them are going to get it right? And what if they work together? We need to reinvest a bit of something in overlook, or we need. And this community doesn't like that. They don't like it at all. And we can't get it done. Okay, so you want us to get a group of people together, committee together to identify the need to... Thanks for the question, Senator. Thank you. What's it now? What do you think we have? What can we do for people who are working with us? And what do we love to make sure? I'm just thinking about that because, you know, we have shown enough money. What can we do with that? You're not gonna be be possible because if we follow the water, we need to get out of the water together. All right, so you understand that I mean, I put out a statewide request for responses, but also put it on a Facebook page and our, um, website. I don't. Who else should I be reaching out to? I mean, I don't, you know, have only been here for years. I mean, who are the people that you are suggesting I reach out to get quotes on how to build this? Because I don't know who they are. I mean, I'm serious. I'm not trying to be a procedure. I just don't know who else, that's the only way I know to advertise it. That was your, for a two pass. I just don't know who else did that's the only way I know to advertise it. Let me show you. For a two-person. Just strike down. We've done the field. Those contracts there are respectivizes in that type of. And what I also did is to be on. To the team. But together. The money we have. We gave it to strength together. The money we have, we gave them everything together, the ones that we've been having, all we just do in the faces. But he's one of them. He's two at no time. Maybe he doesn't. I'll be blamed if I'll be in my time to speak with Mr. Peele in the last few months to quite the systems and the ten, to see more of the contracting through the Cain's last few months and that will appear. That's the start that we have all people that's in the middle of the contract. Then what this side then would you be paying in that work for us will put the lands in. Hello, I'm the new EMS chief or Berchie County. My name's Kimi and Corey. I've met a few of you but I really were I've seen you in passing. So we're going to talk about a few ideas we've come up with, the non-emergency transport side, just where we were, where we're at now. So what are goals for, at least that were portrayed to me, were to reduce our costs, increase our revenue, increase our staffing, and increase in consistent patient transports. The consistent patient transports, you're going to see that a few times. So what that means is patients that we constantly take, not one that we may pick up from the hospital and never see again, patients that we take at least three or four times a month roughly. So then and now I just went back to the budget ear because that's when all these decisions were made. At the time we had four full-time net employees which means they can operate two trucks. We have to be partnered together to do our job. Three part time and two net captains. Now we have seven full-time net employees, which means we can run three full-time, three full trucks in a half a truck. So that's when our part time staff will step in and hope out and then we have our two net captains. I'll For my understanding before the budget year, we had eight positions on net, but I believe on this was cut due to this issue. Next. So some quick little facts that people may not know. People can pay out a pocket for our transport side. I don't know the exact number, just because it's based off of mileage, but we built the Medicaid cost, and then we add on mileage, depending on where they go. One discharge from Berkty to just our local nursing facility or rehab facility can make us about $400. That does not include, so say they're being discharged from Bertie to somewhere in Ahaski. We also add on mileage as well, and then depending on the type of discharge or transfer, it depends on what we do in the back. If it's an advanced level discharge or transfer, then if we're put them on a cardiac monitor, medicines, then that also costs or, you know, receive more money back for that. Also, patients must, patients that are deemed stretch or qualified from their doctor or the hospital. After we start taking them, they can no longer get in a car ever. So 15 years ago, it really wasn't that big of a deal, but now insurance is cracking down. So if we see a patient or one of our patients out in the store that we just took two dialysis, we can no longer take them to dialysis. The reason why is because if they can get into a card to go to the store, they can get into a card to go to a dodge appointment. And if we continue to do it, then that is insurance-free I don't are in. And that. And also today, we're not today, but this last couple of months is the first time we've been fully staffed on net and EMS in years. So. So what do we do now? I didn't print out any. I should have. So right now having more staff means that we can increase the number of patients and runs. So we didn't have the runs were coming in when we were short staffed. We just didn't have the staff to take them. So either we would have to, we would try to initially try to reschedule their daughter's appointment. Maybe don't a day that we can take them. And if that wasn't case, then we would have to turn it down. So it's not that we didn't have the runs, we just didn't have the staff. So also, quick little facts. Monday, Wednesday, or Friday, we have 10 dialysis runs. So this means we have five patients, and we take two dialysis and pick up. So that's 10 runs we can bill. That's every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday we have two dialysis patients that's four runs we can bill, two and from. That's not including other patients we do to doctor appointments and discharges. We average about six doctor appointments a week, so that's roughly 12 runs we can bill for. And then we also have our approximately 15 consistent patients. Like I said, this is not include discharges that we may pick up and really never see again. And we've also, because we're now we're fully staffed, we've increased our ability to take appointments on any day instead of just our slowest hoursysis day, which is what we were having to do. So when we were short staffed, someone would call for appointment on Monday, we can't do it because all of our trucks are tied up on dialysis. So we would try to reschedule on Tuesday, Thursday, but now that we have more staff, we can try to accommodate them on the Monday, Wednesday, Friday schedule. Building wise, so we're tight in our paperwork between employees and doctors appointments. We never had to issue with employees turning in their paperwork. It was more or less making sure they fill out the insurance forms correctly on our end or the doctor's office end. Sometimes they don't do it correctly and follow our instructions or sometimes they just wait weeks to fill it out which holds us up. So we're looking at bi-weekly meetings with Collinton, which is our billing system that we use. And also our net captains, now that they can actually focus on paperwork instead of being on a truck, they've made up schedules to keep up with our critical patients. So what that means is so for our dialysis patients, we take them at least three times a week to dialysis. We have prior approval patients which they use a 60 day approved medical necessity or PCS is another term. So their doctor signs a medical assess is good for 60 days. So we just we don't have to consciously get that for our patients going to doctor appointments. They we have to get one every time. So which that's kind of what holds us up. Dallas is most time as long as we get them ahead of time. We're fine as long as we stay on schedule. It's the dodge appointments that hold us up with the paperwork. And also now that our net captains are in the office and more, they have the ability to be more aggressive with getting these paperwork as in. Maybe they have to go to these dodge appointments or these doctor's offices and hey, we need you to fill this, fill this out again. So we're trying to cut down cost After hours, when I say after hours our transport gets off normally around 6 p.m. normally so after hours On Sundays when we don't have transport or even when our transport is busy, EMS will step in and do some discharges to help the community out. We're also saving more money by having full-time net employees because before when we were, we had a really busy schedule and we didn't want to reschedule people. We would pull in full-time staff to work overtime. So we're actually saving money by having more full-time staff. And any full-time staff, if their partner calls out, instead of staying home because they're full-time, we can't cut their hours, we utilize them to go pick up paperwork. If there's paperwork, overdue paperwork, then it needs to get handled. That's their job for the day. Any transport crews that maybe their patients can't sold or we just didn't have a lot of runs that day for some reason. We've been calling the hospitals, calling for a HOSC husky, chew on. Hey, we have a crew until six, any discharges you have call us. So we're trying to get our name out there and trying to get to pick up these discharges. Um, so and if we do get to the point where we need more staff, we already have amluses. We have seven net trucks already. We have nine EMS trucks, which means four EMS trucks are constantly road and we have five backups or spares if something breaks down. Employee retention. So we got the employees now that through dollar raise helped us a lot. And we're also doing something. I'm not going to say no other county is, but a lot of counties are in a hot. We're doing the it's called the 5-through grading skill. So every 5 years that you have your current certification, you get a raise. So if I got hired with Berchtee County, and I came in with five years of experience, they're gonna almost start off at the probationary pay, but once I get an probationary pay, I go up to five year of experience pay. And that brings in a lot of people, because if I've been doing this for five years and Mr. West and you come in doing this for 20 years, do you want to get paid the same as I do? So we pay off experience at your current level and every five years you get three percent raise. Also which this county does longevity. So every year you get some type of kind of like a bonus pay or longevity pay. And I bring that in because I came from a county that you didn't get it into your there for five years. So this is my first year. I was like, Oh, what is this? Then my check. You know, so it's something to look forward to. Um, but what keeps good employees? I've talked to people that have left from here and just any EMS magazine that talks about Why are you leaving companies or why are you going to this company? Good leadership and communication consistently consistency money brings people in but that doesn't keep them leadership Treating them like there or make or letting them know not treating them letting them know they're appreciated Is what keeps people. Also family environment and keeping up the morale that keeps people. Um also advancement in their career um I have in my mind this is something later stair set positions have let people level up give them something to work for and achieve, try to achieve for. Next. Savor, Tasmuth, WISE. We already have an ad that's running the newspaper. We've had that for last few years. Obviously, all the nursing homes in the area, we have facility and other counties that may use us for their services. Post some social media social media is the thing now. So we're gonna have to advertise on that better. Advertisers at Council of Beijing and DSS in Bertie and for Quimins. And I'll bring in for Quimins. We have a point-to-point contract with them. So that means us and one other company can go into Perquimins County and pick up and take to a doctor's office or dialysis into Perquimins County. So one of the company I only was and I want to say we're the primary one. So if we can't do it, then the other company will step in. So no other company can do that. Now other company can go in and pick up and transfer out. But to say in county, we're first line on that one. brochures. So we're in the process of making some brochures up and maybe put them at hospital's doctor's appointments to help the department. Also business cards, maybe even look at getting a radio commercial or just a TV commercial. I know that costs money, but it's advertisement. Also community events. It puts stream out there. It's good PR for us and it lets the community know we're here. And then also contact the news about any events we're participating in. We actually, the news actually stopped by our station one day just let us know, hey, anything you got going on, let us know. We'll, you know, we'll put the word out there for us. We have a few things that we want to participate in coming up. It's good PR, but also puts her name out there. Transport is going to be participating in it. We're going to have all of our advertisement out there. It keeps the morale up for us because it's something we like to persuade in. It looks going the community and people see our name and they meet us. They, I mean, they see that we have good personalities and that we're good people. So then they'll be more willing to call us. And then we're, which this is kind of a lie, I haven't ordered yet. I'm trying to get quotes on it, but I have requested quotes for more PR items since that stock is low. And we're looking at things that are something that people will use. So that way they can pick up and have every day and use it and see our name and our number. I think that's it. Oh, oh, I do have we have some new ideas. We have looked at maybe shifting some of our crews to different hours to keep our crews there longer. We're not longer. So instead of eight to six, maybe a crew will come in from 11 to nine so they can pick up those discharges at night. Focus on discharges back to the facilities because we know they're going to pay. And then I do have some ideas for the future but we can discuss them at a later point because that's going to call some money on us to start up. I wish I wouldn't hear about now. I want to say that's it. Yeah. Do you have any questions? Everybody can have a minute. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. 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. We're going to be in this more random back. We're trying to achieve a next-more sleepwalk. It's going to take you on six-police assaults to recover the back. And then we'll be in. And we can measure the progress and that. Okay, well, we'll put all that and get it back. You're measuring the shoulder. Absolutely. So we know where we are. We're trying to go with the budget name. So I've already had a conversation. We have a. Coming up in staff and we're going to be within on big symptoms. But conditions to some of the staff in contact. We have to be really important. conditions to some of the staff in contact. The building is important, and regular, any questions that are needed. We're also not at the same, it means you're not leaving. So we'll have someone from there staff to come and meet with us to say, is it exactly what we, so that if, you know, what is the problem, let's leave it so that we can get the problems and connect with them. So once we continue getting on those funds, they will give you a quarterbacks. And you can take the current on these boards, so they will know that that pretty much the same. And the goal is that for the legacy, is to for net to be possible. We want to bring one might give you. And again, we're talking about heating and alcohol. We will talk about it. We're long, long. And say, okay, this is our cost. From now, this is actually how much we make within that pool motor. Is it not just a round-new low that you can get three ones into the ball? You see how they had to, okay, you know, like those, and we go in there. That's it. It's not. They're all very presentation ball. I like that. That we see that it games. We be near to begin up and we'll serve to be the life's private thing. They may be too serious. They were very sensitive. But they were already there. They were assuming that we give up time and level of opportunity and all the team on the line to what I'll try to level up to the other team. We're trying to soon as someone nails. We were there. We send a truck to every high school middle school game. Their their direction is if they need an ambulance, they call EMS. They call for another ambulance. If they leave the game stops. So if someone gets hurt, they do what they need to, but also call for a truck in. So that way they can take them. Right. They take them and one always stays there. Friday night was that was a, well, I listened Yes, but there is one at every game every has gone football game I think Jonathan Wright can say we need to look at this in terms of kind of measurable projects in terms of our trying to do see what we expect. So let's be back to the front of the factory right now. New relationship is bad and maybe I can give you the citizens you can see the value of what we're doing. But here's a one point that has trouble me and I want to make sure that everybody's more interested. The way first decided to go, I might be very much changed with it. You know, we license all of these civilians here in Scali in terms of trans-thorough care, the quality of the retranspiration. Okay, because we license that, parents who transporify the quality of the transporify. Of course we do like things there. They have a responsibility to the citizens of Chicago. The way I understand the law says, that if you're transporting someone from a facility either way, that citizen has some choice about who transporify. You know Jim, who you want to transporify. But what we found early on is that a lot of the business was going to the stackers market without it and citizens were not given that show us. So we have to go out and talk to all of these facilities to say no. You know, we have our transport business here and the citizens this county pay for we want to make sure that they're giving children they choose to choose someone else other than us that's fine, but they need to be asked and You need to respond Why did we did that? This is not significant, right? So what did we see people we saw that emergency manager, director, we left? Bad down again because that was an opportunity I think that the market saw well who's checking? And so the same thing is continuing to happen. You know, we need to make sure that facilities understand that citizens need to be given that choice. And if we need to mandate that they would fact keep a record to show that citizens were asked and who they chose, I don't see why we didn't do that. Because we need to make sure that citizens of this county have a choice. That's what this is, and it's what it's important. So we need to make this clear, not only to the care and facility, wherever they are, right, that they must follow the rules. They're a branch and not just a pig, or folks who have both in and of course, them or whatever, right, everybody needs some fresh to share so that's the I know we're going to give the service and I know if you've never asked service enough given to you sir and we've been making some of that that's part of the administration that we've been making sure that I have confidence in you to do Ron Hawking or the office that we're going to have to direct this annual revenues. We're assured that we are making this a fair change. We're considering that. Any other questions, comments, concerns, ideas? Thank you. Thank you. So, I'm going to go to the next one. I'm going to go to the right of the job. I'll add up our address. That's So, So, So, So, So, So, So, we should go to the police and we've been a couple months ago. I have one thing about the letter of the team, Ron, that I've heard what it's called with, informing that the first kind of work has changed in the period of early-annual dawn, so we can go to the department bus and seeing if we are in the city. So at the right hand of the ball, we're in our board with your board of department council. The way it's implemented that, and I want to resume it, maybe for our way to implement it. And I'm going to go ahead and put it in the board. Great. I'm going to move that through. Again, this is what we do. We have to get back to the working guidance when we make the term in particular hall. I was on board. He's named it right've got, is the school words they have right now, so if the county's commissioner say they're not interested in that, the statute said that the school board can and receive to dispose of the facility as we can achieve the things they have selling to the user, so we can exchange the things they themselves, or give us some chaos. We'll have to build our free will treasure and we'll already move. I think you can transfer to your name and you're actually the action purchase. What we're gonna do is we'll do it. We'll do it as a building. That's what we're gonna do. Okay. Team message is not over. I'm not sure what you're going to say. I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to remind you, so we're taking a look at either the carrying or wiring and ship of it and transfer them to ship all in. They're forward, and they're announcing for all the interstate in the red zone. But yeah, you're talking about your set of school boards saying about conveying them to all of the town hall. No, no, that's good. I was saying that all the interstate has conditioner used, no, I'm not going to say that all of you need to be interested as conditioners are used to, right? So we need to have how that can happen. The whole, you know, the other options for that to happen. You can come to the county from school boards or the county's all either forward, or the school board directly to the local. That's correct. Yes. I'm going to kind of stature right now, be sure, just if we need to go out exactly on this work about value steps, but I'm 98% sure that I'm looking at that, but better than not that. That's with the two options. And so if the county are going to take it on as pilot, then it's going to really, it's a twin to count in the school ward, whether there's money paying the seven much. The best way to do that. Yeah, I don't know if this is the word fair more value than it says in, you know, basically if they agree upon a cross, literally, we're one, we're one, we're one, we're one. I can't say that, I mean, I mean, I think that's too much. I'm just going to change. You know, I mean, I think that I'm going to say that I'm going to say that I'm going to say that I'm going to say that I'm going to say that I'm going to say that I'm going to say that I'm going to say that I'm going to say that I'm going to say that I'm going to say that I'm going to say that I'm going to say that I'm going to say that I'm going to say that I'm going to say that I'm going to say that I'm going to say that I'm going to say that I'm going to say that I But you suggested something that's good, that's good, that's good. Right? So, we're going to work with Sprite. I, and the council, we want to take it. Then we can work out the deal about how much it can cost. So, we have to express it, and then we'll start. But, you know what? The main foretab, which you think that was paid for, and we brought the school sell it, or we sell it, or we send the vision of those acts that put about it. People this way and they're coming. And then it's that, is that after your business, more or million, they come out of the house, when the sales of the want to say is that, is that after the New York Register, more or a million people came to the top, when the citizens were just shouting, hey, for that, they got nothing back to record this. We put a split of the people to look at their government, at your sources. I think that's what we're very, very aware of. So, you know, I think, when the business partners together, and county has included, we ought to be able to work out something weird. When God is the police, right, they ought to be some sharing of the, how do you expect the citizens paid for, and should the citizens paid for and to the citizens. The citizens have to be operating for days there for that. But the county citizens are also included to defer the law of untaxed at each of every race, if we didn't have something like that. I'm not sure if the statute allows it. That just says the community came along with the single. And the public should have heard. There he is. We want to stand up and get a state to the community. And the National Park, there he is, we want to stand up and suggest things to be out there. But we don't believe it. And they didn't have time. Because nobody was going to sit here. And so the way people are going to sit here is we should be there. We have to try to put it to the areas, anything is in there for managing it and moving the project and reading values on to what we had. I'm not sure I had it because I heard about a lot of people that kind of landed in one of the things that would be great. But I believe with the statute. I'd like to read it. The statute is in chapter 115c. It's called disposition of school property. And basically if you get through the basically, some rise of first two sentences and they'll rework for word or your estimate amount. The summarized part is that the board of education and subpoenaing the science that there's some real property that is unnecessary or undesirable for public school purposes. And they can dispose of that property using the statutory provisions in the 160 AR for 12, which is the state statute of accounting, the Ontario same sort of statute of how you can dispose of public property. The minister's providing. When any real property to which the board holds time there's no longer so you're more and necessary to public school purposes. The board of the county commissioners for the county in which the property is located shall be afforded in the first opportunity to obtain the property. Board of Education shall offer the property to the board of commissioners at a fair market price for and a price negotiated between the two boards. If board commissioners does not, she used to obtain the property as offered. The board of education may dispose of such property in order to proceed your ass here in providing. So in other words, they sell public, they would sell the people's property in the same method that we always have to sell property. But it doesn't, it doesn't, you know, that's, that's all the same. So it was a term order we wrote. And we were doing it, and then we got all the buy, so we were going to return. Yeah, that's right. It says that if the school board is the same process that the county would dispose their property, they could, but we have to first off to the school bedroom. Be that the county all land or could not they make that all right if we were to. I'm going to go through the auction bid or the sale of the public negotiate. five or six ways and so is it probably in one? So the need for what What I'm saying is really what I'm going to have is a school board that's not out for being so I come back for $100,000. I'm just already there to get it. So I'm going to go on later to have it. You better take it. I'm not supposed to don't think we need it. So I don't really have to make it. I would, I would, I would, give it more importance. You can see how far we're going. We're going to talk about all of it. I would talk about, you know, like every Maytime, we're going to take it. And whenever it starts, I would, it starts off with it. You're right. I'm going to ask you a question. We think we're going to be able to get through this. So we have a question. We're going to be able to get through this. We're just playing and just, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, actually, we don't know both, but after the word of union, the word of union was Western that I led a small group in certification in a redevelopment. And it's interested in acquiring all the available. Thanks. Well, our interest, we will have a project. Well, of course. Thank you. You can do the next step. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. The next step is, you know, We will have a watch. What we are going to do is we need to connect there and resolve it somewhere. The next day is to get there. Sorry. You know, you know, you know, you know, you can do it. I'm going to go back to the back. No, I'm going to go back to the back. I'm going to go back to the back. I'm going to go back to the back. I'm going to go back to the back. I'm going to go back to the back. I'm going to go back to the back. I'm going to go back to the back. I'm going to go back to the back. I'm going to go back to the back. We don't agree with the belief that the SS of the third one lead because all do be fed. I'm concerned. I have more and I'm I'm asking you to be sure. Thank you. And this I'm going to be great. You got I'm going to speak. I do. I'm like you chose with so you got we're still around I'm going to be ready. You got to come over to speak. I do. I'm like, you're too awesome with something you've got. We're showing the role. Oh, I'm going to show the role. I'm going to show the role. There he is. Right here. All right. All right. Good afternoon, everybody. I'm going to try to make this quick, since you're all there. Press for time. Y'all been here a long time today. Okay, it's been a long day. I just wanna start off by saying that I do appreciate all the increases that you guys have given to the county thus far over the last couple of years. And that I'm here today not really asking you for an increase to my budget. All right. Bertie County DSS continues to provide essential services to improve the health, safety, and well-being of our citizens and collaboration with our partners in the community. And my employees work hard and mostly my supervisors. So when my employees call out, my supervisor step in. They do outreach in the community on the weekends. They're the ones that's doing the training. They're the ones that's setting up doing my recruitment and retention. And when we did the step increases in 2023, I have supervisors that basically didn't get credit for time and service. So I have supervisors that have been with you 24 years or 18 years or 20 years that only receive credit for zero years, seven years or eight years. And because of that, you gave increases to employees who are working for them that didn't have the initiative to become a supervisor. Or they didn't have the developmental capacity to be able to leave someone else. But they have been there for 20 years and they got credit for all of their years and I have a couple employees who surpassed their supervisors salary when you gave those stepping increases. Because of this and my heart working supervisors, I wanted to take $4,500 from my travel line in my existing budget and then $4,500 from my SAA line and basically give my five supervisors that weren't on probation at that time. In $1800 increase to establish some distance between supervisor and employee. Go ahead. We're going to permanently decrease that line I were to talk about the data. And the other line we're talking about, we don't have any in the money, but this year or next year because it's always needed. That's correct. Well, that's better. The center of this is the true. I'll take this off to the main promotion. I'll make motion there. I'll give the cell to the patient. Turn the patient's partner, social service. Sorry. All the votes, the aye. Aye. Thank you so much. I look here, I've got to start out. Yes. I mentioned that the name of the patient, the role model of the patient. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Yeah, I think there's more short LL. I mean, sure, I would have. So usually everybody sees in a nasty position with a questage and the action to flip it. It's been the carpet. It's been the technology of the other. And you probably told the service. For now, but the work says you have the board decided that that position would be more outdated if it's needed to get set. But that explains the percentage of you. So, it was a split the state of rear and verse approximately 25%. If it was just a VHS that's only on position, it could be the state could be in order to be 40 to 50%. Correct. So, it's taking a look at the call of that position. I'm sorry. The right person. The two directors, tattooed record, the double-boiled was paying the assessment record. I mean, little, our vote requesting that that position, he's polite and not coup d'etat to, to one department for another instance. One, we need the position. I teach, you supervise and make maybe, four yen as well as space. So that means that the difference of moving that would be approximately the other. Pointing for the $30,000 that would be the budget area in that. And some funds have been identified. And then I keep my growth. Make that possible. So you get this year. Yes. That's a lot better. Next that what we identified was not referred. All those little case feats, what I actually want to be having probably some recurrent, but the amount that we had been about in I team was only for when. Yeah. You must want to be going to make those. You're going to be going to the place where you're going. Hmm. Okay. You guys can be more in terms for those kids. We don't have to be out of the washroom. You got less. It is not going to work. I think, um, I think the count. The count needs respect. I think you can either. Oh, speaking with the Joe. You know, pretty much times and the past. I've never been in a band. I've never been in a band. I've never been in a band. I've never been in a band. I've never been in a band. I've never been in a band. I've never been in a band. I've never been in a band. I've never been in a band. I've never been in a band. I've never been in a band. I've never been in a band. Well, we're basically on this already. Jack, if they don't, we're going to play. Yeah. We Joe, that's where it is. We actually, the hearing age, you know, Joe doesn't see it. We took DSS versus biggest support. One. Yes. Issues of this. Right. We took that all the way off the split. We took the SS problem split all together. It helped him that first round. So now it's the super low. Okay. He got two for everything except the SS which was the biggest. I'm going to say that it's the biggest area of work. So I just need your understanding, I can communicate and feel, now I can't say that they're all the way. And so- But you didn't. Okay, so let me explain why. I am not an IT person. Okay, and the IT person has to report to Joe because we're on the county network. So he has to be able to provide the knowledge, the training, the support because we are on your network. So giving me a person for me to supervise without that knowledge and experience and training is not helpful. It needs to be his because they're just doing help tickets for us. But the whole mainframe and everything is job. And the part of the other issue is that thing doesn't have space in her building for a person. So that employee would be in my department, but not in my department and not answer to me the way that it needs to be because in order to properly do the evaluations and everything that should be done for an employee, that thing's not going to be able to do that. I'm saying that there's no reason you can't be in charge of anything and there's no reason you can't work with them by advance. What I'm saying is that whatever your half has nothing to do with what you do, supervisor or not. And I'm sorry. I was the president when you all awarded this. So what is this split? What is the split? It's not. If you have 100% of the time. And so that doesn't mean that Joe doesn't go or have a hill and never have this issue that we're making because we want to. Like I just want to mean that very specific about that because if we wanted this work I just want to be that very specific about that. Because if we wanted this to work, this would not be a problem. I'm not sure if this question is once on a, I don't know what it is, but you have a full-time person. It should be a lesson, right? It might not be a case, a factor of not spate. I can't figure this one out. So life for me. And so I'm good. Go ahead. Thank you, my lady. Okay, so if you look, nope, let's, let's not rush because you're talking about adding a person to my budget. So we're not gonna rush through that. What we're saying is you want a full time person for DSS and I'm gonna take what you give me whether I reclassify it later or not. So I'm gonna take what you give me but Joe needs help. So where does that help come from at election time and all that stuff Where does that help come from because if he's on my budget and he's 100% he's still in having additional help He's just not doing DSS stuff anymore, but he still has to teach that person how to do all those things for my building. But I'm going to get anybody that's going to sit in my building for the price you want. Okay. Okay. And if we do the split, it allows us to be more flexible as a IT department. That is that is that is and you might see downrange that you don't need a whole other body next year. If you have the split for this person this time. Share my phone, most fellow. I think most of them, I have a person, a slave to the person between the camera and social service. Wish they, I'll tell you the issue and I understand. Because I don't, I don't really need, I will not have to do. Because I thought you. I don't know. I don't know. Give me a full term person. Originally, the proposal was to split. But because of the budget, the suggestion was made to do a hundred percent DSS because it would increase the state funding. So that was the reason for that adjustment there. But the reason for the split as the initial suggestion was to help out everywhere as opposed to... That's what we're suggesting. Yeah. So we may have to say the issue in the panel. Yes. They have on the time to find more money in the budget. On the other person starting the positive. I'm on. Okay. I want to be an engine. That's all I can do. Thank you, gentlemen. I'm going to play a game. But I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm going to help. So one more thing. I just have I just have one more thing to say. Um, we invited the county manager for our employee celebration on October 17th. Commissioner Ron Robertson has agreed to speak, hoping that the county manager will agree to speak as well. Anna and LaLos to close early. Thank you. Yes, sir. I have a last meeting of the meeting that we had in August. A resolution for after-relations presented to the board on the office. Back up. I can make an office of tax once the data is passed, which will be able to change that. What we come back in, in particular, resolution to enact a TBA, passing the data to the word, extra. asking to be tackled at the word, it's extra speed. Yeah, the two were developed with the EDM. And so the resolution was drafted between the Law and the Federal and they said that's the meeting out of the Federal meeting. God of the me, I looked at our meeting, God looked at our meeting, and we had some discussion about you about a couple of things. Well, one, there was a meeting on the word, remember from the talk on the board, on this FDA, I checked my board, my authority, you said, it's the board, that's TDA. There was an even number, so it suggested that it even I remember basically to put in an even time. And also, so then the question of where's that what the group from? So that's the result and add it to what you have in front of you. Also, there needed to be an exception. Chair and the guests are in the extension or exception for homelessness. And so there's some also a good idea that. So as been added, and then there are groups, add a additional language, language, national and active and session wall, that said, first you can't, and act, you can't, so I should see you again. So I just add similar language, the changes that have been added, browser and yellow, minor and green, and Bronzer and yellow, myron green, and the I can talk about so basically it's that we have and we have changed what we can discuss as much as the words only we want today is the students and the TDA members who they are, what they are. And so it's the official link. I think we should have that and change. So I'll turn after we receive, which of these things you want to discuss. Yeah, so we just got this direct. Yes, I'd like that time to read it out. And you know, you can go to the next day. We are going to do them. Yes, you did. But I know that see bad on the internet, I can't comment on that. I'll say that again. I'm going to tell you what's going on. It's going to be the next meeting. So we're going to tell you this. Okay. I'm going to have to read this. Okay. I don't know if we can do the bill. I'm going to read it. Yeah. Yeah. With the turning up stuff. Like, uh, and what is. We're going to read. Yes. We have three comments that are. They're watching for me and. If you got your day. I'll be writing. You know. We'll see. This. that we will see. So that's, uh, what we, it shows good. Okay. Uh, yeah. I'm sorry. Um, right. So my question is I heard from other sources that he did not have funding that we would totally have had in the back. I mean, I have only come six million and I have a little amount from, so I just wanted to see if we did that to have that where it's confidentialized or that local snowman. Committee right after meeting your referential presentation that is made by our Edna and the vote for their right to be leading and use the Williams. First time is both valid and spoken with confidence after speaking in some of our legislators to say same time, you know, more definite statements and that statement for the big two that because the budget had not been cast. Therefore, we are visually, we do not visually have any of the points that is reasonable. Thank you. Okay, that's all. I'm going to do a third. So say, say, okay, I have to do it. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. you you you
