All right, Council members, it's 6-0-1. And we'll call the voting session to order. We already have a pledge allegiance in the moment of silence. Roll call, please, Ms. Lawrence. Mr. Haas. Here. Ms. Kushinevsky. Here. Mr. Lascavige. Here. Ms. McDermott. Here. Mr. Perry. Here. Mr. Savitino. Here. Mr. Thornton. Mr. Will Blvd. Here. Mr. Lombardo. Here. All present. Thank you. All right, We have several ceremonial proclinations tonight. The first one that for child prevention and mental proclination, that is working out. That will be on the next meeting. So we have the first one is Bleeding Disorders Awareness Month. Whereas we are proud to commemorate March 20, 25 his bleeding disorders awareness month in the county of Luzern, and whereas this designation will formalize to expand upon the federal designation 30, you to go on March 1986, it's hema-felia awareness month and in 2016 where the entire of the bleeding disorders community came together to encompass all bleeding disorders and whereas the federal department of health and human services designated March 2016 is actually believing the source of the leading disorders community came together to encompass all leading disorders and where as the federal Department of Health and Human Services designated March 2016 as National Bleeding Disorders Month. And whereas these leading disorders which share the ability to form a proper blood clot, are characterized by extended bleeding after injury, surgery, trauma, or menstruation, and can lead to significant more bend. The end can be fatal if not treated effectively. And where as many individuals with hemophilia become infected with HIV and hepatitis C in the 1980s due to the contamination of the blood supply and blood products. And where as this awareness pump lose our county or general, generate greater awareness and understanding of not only hemophilia but all in arable bleeding disorders, including bond and will of run disease and rare bleeding disorders which affect millions of individuals around the world. And whereas this awareness month will bring light to the great scientific achievements in the treatment of pleading disorders for which there is no cure, and the great pursuit of advance therapies and cure of the disorders. And whereas the pleading disorders community's relationship with policy makers have often numerous medical and policy amazements beneficial to all those affected by bleeding disorders and their loved ones. And whereas this month, this awareness month will foster a great rate of understanding of community and shared purpose among individuals with an empirical bleeding disorder and whereas this awareness month will elevate awareness of engagement in the empirical bleeding disorders journey beyond our community to the general public. Enabling the prevention of illness, unnecessary procedures and disability. Now therefore, we will lose our county council due here by per play, the month of March 2025, as the legal disorders awareness month gave the county a loser. Thank you. Next up, we have casual day proclamation, and I think we have a representative from casual day. So you can come call me and receive it when after I review. That's okay to eat like to say a few words at the point until you're more than welcome. Whereas coal and rectal cancers are one of the most frequently diagnosed cancers in Northeastern Pennsylvania, and it's whereas incidents and mortality rates in some areas are 14% and 17% higher than the US average. and we about 70%, 75% of new cases of colabular rectal cancer are current patients of average risk. And whereas approximately 516 new cases are diagnosed in about 200 patients die from colab cancer each year in the counties of Blackwanna, Luzern, Monroe, Pike, Suspohana, Wayne, and Wyoming combined. And whereas the Northeast Regional Cancer Institute has been easing the burden of cancer in Northeast Pennsylvania for over 30 years through the community and patient services, hospital and practice support services, and cancer surveillance programs, specifically designed to meet the unique needs of our region. And whereas on Thursday, March 27, 2025, the Northeast Regional Cancer Institute will sponsor the 20-odd annual casual colon cancer awareness saves unlimited adult lives a day to increase colon cancer awareness throughout the Northeast Imperial Region. And where as casual day was established by the family of Helen Phillips, Uphonic courageous battle against colon cancer and died in the summer of 2002. Now therefore, we, the Lutheran County Council, do hereby urge residents of Lutheran County at all of Northeastern Pennsylvania to be screened for the early detection of colon cancer, participate and support the Northeast Regional Cancer Institute in its colon cancer awareness efforts, and designated the month of March as colon cancer awareness month and March 27, 2025, as casual day in Lutheron County. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thanks for this opportunity. You're just trying to make on floor. Yeah, I'm sorry. Yeah, we're going. I don't talk much, but I did want to thank you, little happy me here for recognizing this proclamation. As you said, it's over 20 years of this event, and it's amazing how much support we get. Casual is an acronym as you have read, but it is a dress down event where participants dress down at work or at school or within their community anywhere and they participate by wearing a designated design to shirt each year socks or hat. The importance of this is to have casual conversations about the family history about risk factors that you may have. And one more important message is to be screened. The recommended screening age now is 45. If you're at average risk, meaning you have no risk factors, the acquainted age is now 45. So it's just a reminder of this every year and teachers are still available. Before Thursday, casual day at Harold's pharmacy and at Gary's hands to be part way and at our office. We do have a bookstair office right here on North Franklin Street. We've been in community for 30 years and we are a resource to you on anything really. Thank you. Thank you very much. All right, next up we have a destination for 4H and there are some members of 4H that would like to maybe say a few words after the proclamation, you can call them receive the proclamation as well. Whereas 4H is a member of this large, it's used to develop youth development organizations supporting nearly 6 million youth across the country. And whereas 4H has helped 131 youth in the Luzurm County to become competent and dependent resilient and compassionate leaders as they learn by doing. And whereas 4H in Pennsylvania is delivered by Penn State Cooperative Extension in rural areas, small towns and cities in all 67 counties of the Commonwealth to more than 77,000 youth ages 5 to 18. And whereas 4-H youth in Pennsylvania are certified network staff members and more than 6,000 adult volunteers who engage in mentor youth in learning activities and hands-on projects and topics such as animal science, civic engagement, STEM, and health and wellness. And whereas Pennsylvania's 4H week showcases the incredible ways that 4H inspires kids to achieve and highlights the remarkable 4H youth in Los Angeles County who work each day to make a positive impact on those relationships. And whereas 4H's network provides youth with opportunities for leadership, development, career exploration, problem solving, friendships, community involvement, passion and and purpose. Now therefore we lose our county council, do here by per plane. March 16 to the 23rd, 2025. As Pennsylvania 4-H, we throw out loser county and encourage our citizens to acknowledge and celebrate 4-H, praise valuable service, and continue efforts to empower you for the foundation of success for our lifetime. Thank you. Thank you. Thank lifetime. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Good evening, everybody. My name is Jennifer Mercero, and I'm the new client relationship manager for Area 4 for Penn State Extension. Thank you for helping us today. Two words come to mind when I think of 4-H, Inspire and Prepare. It inspires to think bigger and it prepares them to do better. I have a list of things that 4-H offers that's already been listed in our proclamation, so I'll just go ahead and introduce Jennifer Hainline who has been our 4-H educator since 2023. Many people think of farming animals, which is very important, and we do have that when they think of 4-H, but Jennifer brings something interesting to it. She has a CAT program and a dog program. She teaches the mentality. It wouldn't even do the program justice, but I did spend over a slide deck, which has some information in there. And the CAT program is coming up. It's a two-day show this weekend where they will compete with other people across the entire Northeast region. So thank you Jennifer for probably a break into the students. We have Zayn Bumble with us tonight and Ryan Hyngline. One of the things that I think 4H does is it brings students that might be a little bit introverted or quiet and it gets them to really become leaders. And one of the things that is done for saying he's nonverbal and it has brought him out and able to lead in programs that he participates in. So I just want to say thank you if anybody has any interest in for each or other extension programs, please find me after the meeting where you can look up at extension.psu.edu. And you as always for your support to all of you. Thank you very much. Applause Finally we have a proclamation of the Battles of Lexington and Concord, which Councilman Haas did a reading. Actually thank you for your attention. Thank you Mr. Chair and thank you for the Councilman for supporting this proclamation. We're kind of on the 250th anniversary of the very first battle of American Revolution. The time was the public. I'm sure the local media and the National League will be reporting on this but this is really something to celebrate so thank you Mr. Chair again. Proclamation reads, whereas on April 19, 1975 the battles of Lexington and Concord in Massachusetts marked the commencement of the eight-year struggle on colonial dependence known as the American Revolutionary War, with a quote, shocker around the world. And whereas the historic confrontation is demonstrating in wavering resolve of American patriots to defend their rights and freedoms against tyranny, and whereas people 12 people 19th, 2025, commemorates the 250th anniversary of these pivotal battles, as an opportunity to reflect upon and honor the sacrifices made by those who fought for nations independence. And whereas it is fitting and proper to recognize and celebrate the significant milestone in our nation's history as we acknowledge the enduring principles of freedom, justice, and self-governance that continue to guide our nation. Now, therefore we, the loser candid counsel hereby to claim Saturday, April 19, 2025, as they have remembrance and celebration in honor of the 250th anniversary of the Battle of Lexington Concord and Courageal Citizens to reflect upon the derriolacy of our nation's founding principles. All right, thank you very much. All right, well, now move on to the agenda. Are there any additions or deletions for the voting session agenda? You actually have one addition that I would like to add. I'd like to entertain a motion for it. I would like to make a motion to add a motion regarding the review of the Nanocoat bridge statements of interest. I'm going to be like an explanation of that. I'm happy to have you explain. I'll make that motion. I'll take it. Motion a second. Is there anybody who wants explanation? Just on the question. Sheriff Pyramid. Is that a voting issue? We have to vote on receiving the report? No. No. What my thought is, I really would like us to streamline this process. As we, I'm sure her from a number of residents throughout the Nanoco area and the West Nanoco climate area, I would like to at least streamline the process of pairing down the bids so that council doesn't have to necessarily be involved in every single little aspect of this. We obviously will have to approve one of the top three at the end, but right now I believe there are five statements that were received at the correct manager croak moh. I don't think that it's necessary for us to go from reviewing the five statements then to go to the three technical bits. So I think if we can hand over that process to the administration, let them streamline it and get it done as quick as possible, then bring it to us, we can go from there. Sounds good. So the motion is to streamline the process by allowing the five letters of interest from the engineering firms to allow the administration to pair that down to three. Yes, that's the motion is. But we're just voting on Adam, it's the agenda right now. pass. Okay. Okay. So there's a motion second on paper. I can hold. All right. That's happened. That'll be number six on under Council items. Any other additions or deletions? Is there a motion to adopt the agenda? I'll make the motion. Second. On paper. I'm post. All right, the agenda is adopted. We'll have public comment on agenda items only. And anybody in the audience per agenda items only? Control and ribbon. The only item I wanted to talk about is item number two on the agenda. That was to renew the lease to the city in Apoch. Back in 2022, I believe the controller's office didn't audit for all the lease and the magistrate's offices. And I'm happy to see that on the agenda that the court is actually working towards getting those up to date. So who knows who the court administrator called Heimarsh for that? That particular lease was 1994, believe it or not. So it's well, well passed the time on meaning to redo that lease. And the work that was done to get that done is very much appreciated by the Detroit office as well as some of the others that need to be corrected. And I know it's working towards that. I just want to thank the Court Administration and the manager for getting that done. Thank you. Thank you, Ms. Griffin. Any other comments from the public? In the audience? Anybody on the Zoom? All right, here we go. We'll be moving on to agenda. Is there a motion to approve the minutes of the March 11th, 2025 votes in the voting session? Second. Motion to second.

Yes. Mr. Thornton. Yes. Mr. Wallabbe. Yes. Mr. Haas. Yes. Mr. Krishnowski. Yes. Mr. Lombardo. Yes. He knows. a lot of economic revitalization tax act. So, there's a motion kind of second. Let's make motion kind of second. Like to make an amendment of the circumstances chair? On the question? Got it. If, um, look at page 2 I agree with that. That's an individual. Oh, for me. I have all the data. One page you say, Mr. H. I was looking at the room. Page 23 starts. Yes, it starts at 24. Page 24. Do you want to give a schedule? I think so. I'll give you a round. I'll give you a round. I'm going to get a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a. And we got to remember I really appreciate Mr. Williams and Mr. Stahl and Hazel not wanting to develop this piece of property and moving us forward in the real 21st century where they act with. I think it's needed, but I just again question as I've done to the past several means about this, the amount of the embankment. Again, knowing that we're also getting as part of the deal, patterned after the last or the council approved for that piece of property that was really my discard land. I see this is not being as urgent. I think this is more of a reprisal or more negotiation. If we could amend the abatement schedule from years 1 to 7 instead of 90% of abatement, have that 70% abatement. So in other words the county taxpayers will still be giving back 70% of payment. So in other words the county tax various will still be giving back 70% of taxes the formal pay 30 year 8 will be 60% of payment year 7 will be 50% of payment and year 10 will be 40% of your nine, you say your seven. Here's one through seven will be 70% of a minute. Year eight will be 40% of payment. Year 90, you say year seven. Year's 1 through seven will be 70% of payment. Year eight will be 60%, year nine, 50% and year 10 and 40% of payment. So, and again, I understand too that this is only on improvements in the property. So, in these earlier, there's not gonna be a giant windfall for the taxpayers. Anyway,'s still going to be largely underdeveloped. But again, I just think if Hazel not wants to really show forth a good faith effort, the taxpayers will still open this up and pay about two thirds of the tax in the end of the day, even with this amendment schedule. So, for that out there, I'm going to have a councilist. Is there a second on that motion? Is there a second? You'll second. Who second? Okay. Miss McDermott. Okay. Motion to the second. On the question. Mr. Woolberg, Mr. Gordon. Mr. Hoss, you have the numbers of how much does the January revenue want? Yeah, so right now if you look at the approximate value of phase one, the nasonant wants to give us about a million in change for that. So you figure one mill on all that property, maybe like $12,000 per those for a seven years per. Is that equal to the one mill is two different things? Yeah, because one mill is a $1,000 and $30,000 just has property. So when you break down what the figures are, you just extrapolate from there. If your first figure is the one point, I mean that's the payment looting, right? That's one. The first number you presented, the one million, would you say about that? Not the mill, the number. But what the payment is in when we look at what Hazelon wants to give us in payment in a little taxes, you look at that, not the milk that number. Well, what the payment is in, when we look at what he's not wants to give us in payment in lieu of taxes, you look at that milk. And then you factor the backtrack it from $1,000 per every $1,000 per $1,000 to set that up. Mr. Burns. Yeah, thank you, Mr. Chairman. So my first question, I guess, to kind of add your work, were these numbers as are printed on here, were they these already presented to the developer and were these negotiated already? Yes, I sort of negotiated at the infrastructure meeting. I believe right in the infrastructure committee negotiated these. They were further spoken about at the work session of our previous council meeting. And we are calling on the truck. Here's the other question. For not question, comment, I've read again today when I was reading, I think the developer has agreed to pay the county to lump some payments or amounts of lump sum payments aside from the schedule completely of approximately, they were 529,000 and they got 150,000 like that if I remember. It was like a fact to spoil. I think the numbers are there. There are here. So yes, those are the numbers. So it's $25,000 an acre, half on the building kind of being issued and half upon the applicant's amendment. And I think it was $2.65 to $2.65, I read for page one. Okay, so that was gonna be sizable amount of love stuff. All together it's gonna work out to be about one point to one. Okay, so we are realizing the substantial amount. The side for this schedule that we'll give it to that. All right, thank you. And I appreciate Ms. Warren-Tuin, and I will say to you share for the discussion you already wrote on this, that the previous project, that was Mindscarland, and I thought that was a very, very valuable project. There's been a tenet identified. So the big difference here is that somebody's going to win it here very quickly. Okay, and that's a principle different. These letters, I categorically, really disapprove of some of them, but I think it's kind of more beneficial than others. and I we've been around this on the Mr. Sabote, the District of Committee as well as last week's work exception. I'm just carrying through what I just think the majority of people would support this. Thank you. I just want to add one comment to the conversation here that just kind of a correction on something Mr. Haas said earlier that the taxpayers would be footing 70% of the bill for this. That's not It is a matter of that's not accurate the taxpayers won't be paying anything for this if this minesguard Whatever this land was to remain undeveloped. We would be getting no additional revenue from the land regardless of What happens for the upcoming you know decades, whatever. By giving this tax evading, we're encouraging somebody to develop this undeveloped land. In most cases, yes, it is my ins guard. In this, we're bringing a different kind of set of jobs to this area of the county, which I think that's something that people on this council have discussed before, or something you want to see if we're bringing potential tax evidences in front of this body. And the taxpayers are not actually paying any money. The county's not paying any money to give a tax evade. And what we're doing is we're delaying the receipt of the money that we would receive. But we are still receiving more money than we would if we had not developed the money. So I mean, I personally don't see the downside to this when it comes to the economic summit, when it comes to, we can have discussions about what the benefits or attractions of having a facility like this in that area of the county would be. But as far as the economics, I don't really see the paying downsides to this personally. But I still have to. And I remember during the work session, these jobs are going to pay well. These aren't $15, $18 an hour jobs. So this is something that I think that we should welcome little ones, because that's That's for great jobs and we need them in this area. I agree with John, everything he said and I think that we should welcome little ones because that's their great jobs and we need them in this area I agree with John everything he said and I think that this is something that should happen You know comments from council members. Yeah, I will just say to it I couldn't share anything here absolutely right I forget I'm trying to explain this the education of public it might not understand all the nuances're absolutely right. We're getting no tax assessment on any taxes on non-development there. You're absolutely right about that. But again, the age we'll argument is we're putting our fingers on the scales. We're helping out one area or one firm's a developed land that maybe might be developed elsewhere. And that's, again, what we've got to keep in mind. This is that one chance that we, as a brick and mortar institution, who's in Canada, we have a chance to recruit some of the risk to. Because we're taking a rich too, because we're giving away a tax rate to the developer wherever we're not going to sell out of people. Just that wage agreement. But thank you. Thank you. I agree with that to some extent, but I will say that after reading through the Learn a I do believe that there is opportunity for other individual developers to actually utilize this Learn a Law. Instead of just somebody that's building a large facility. Obviously this is something that happens. We see the speakers that's a large amount of money, but individuals I believe could also utilize this law. Any comments? We call the question. Sure. Oh, the question they call. Sorry. Sorry. All right. There's a motion to the second roll call. Oh, you wait. Two silver on the other. No, it is. Oh, okay. All right. No, it's this. This is the call for the amendment, right here. Yes God. And then you can comment after. Sorry. Go ahead. Roll call this far. Mr. McDermott. Yes, Mr. Perry. Yes. Mr. Sabatino. No. Yes, Smith? Yes. You got it. Oh. Thanks, Eric. I think the government is a place to assist in economic development, but I really believe we must find a fair balance which may be encouraging such development and or tasking people. So I will yes to this. Mr. Stevenson? Yes. Mr. Willowicz? No, on the economy. Mr. Haas? Yes. Mr. Krzyszowski? No. Mr. Lewis-Gaivich? No. Mr. Lombardo? No. 560 fails. All right, thank you. Missed if you want to comment now for on the question. No. OK. I do have to answer. Good. OK. I said I'm on the first. OK. Under the procedure for attaining exemption, I think we've had some really good conversations in our legislative session. And we've had some very good conversations in general about really investing in our workforce. So I'd like to add an amendment to this under the procedure of the change of the exemption that in order to be eligible for such an exemption, the program that is developed and must place priority on hiring who is ready to work at the workplace. Okay. Is that where would you place that in, would it be three point? Yes, 3.1. Okay. 3.1. 4.1. 8. And this one. Come here. Okay. Okay. Yes. 3.1. Okay. Good. Good. 1. Okay. Missed him. Can we ask the question? Is this? I don't think that's mine. Is there a second? Is there a second on that? Okay. What if we wanted to stress it? I'll second it for discussion purposes. But is this the bill or to vote to staff? To bill word I have to do is to do it in the program. I mean I'd love to be stopped here but I'm sorry, but we can. Attorney's key, I'd like to ask a question if that's okay. Is this something that we can place into our contract that would be legal. One, I don't know. I don't know that it would be legal or practical because we'd be hampering the developer and if they couldn't find people filled in the, from whose own county, it would be the project for fail. That's not at all what the United States just says, place priority on hiring those aren't how you workers. Instead of having companies bus people up from Kentucky, which I know has happened past with these kind of developments, I much prefer to see at least incentive for them to hire the wrong kind of workers. Furthermore, I don't know why I don't leave it with the against the law as we make our own, we're the people who decide how an applicant becomes eligible for such alerta. For example, they are eligible for alerta if we pass the new schedule that Kaz Minhaz had just suggested. It's simply us deciding who is eligible for our own return. Mr. Scharn. Okay. Well, the copy of kind of a surprise, I was awarded this and it meeting, but I, one thing to end of my immediately was that when franchises of very popular country-wide organizations companies are built, such as a big burger tang, and McDonald's or Arby's or typically those operations bring in their crews of workers because they're all the same kind of building structure utilities, things like that. And they've built 30 of them already, 40 of them of these workers know exactly how to proceed. I think for us, it would have had someone to develop or to make any kind of requirements. I mean, we could say prioritize, who's going to decide at the end of the day, whether or not they really prioritize, would there be litigation error or investigation? And that's, I'm sure this helps pre-arriving in the development of something like this. Another thing I want to ask was this time, SEP, discussed it all with the developer before tonight? No, I was talking about it. Okay, all right, thank you. I can wait, that being a matter of committee, if I could answer this question. Yes. So I encourage me if I'm wrong, remember as the committee is so kind of in and Jimmy, but when we talked with Mr. Stallman strongly, they said, every time we made to utilize local labor when possible. So I think I think that's what you're asking, John, I think I think I need to be binding necessarily, but I think it's just a little codifying our desire that we would use, well played one possible, I don't think it hamstrings the development anyway. It's just an encouraging. If I want to speak to you. No, I don't think it hamstrings the development anyway. It's just an encouraging. I want to speak. No, I want to. I can't use French question. That did come up in the discussion. Kurt, do you have a long Jimmy? No, here we go. And to the question that Vice Chair asked, in how to prioritize this kind of the same way of asking, making them promise they're not going to just leave after 10 years and they're finally willing to pay taxes all the time. We have to rely on the big word of our developers all the time. There's certainly too many small details to hammer out completely in litigation or a contract like that. that and then we can't force them to stay after 10 years, but we hope that they will, and they're supposed to be paying all of their taxes as soon as it's much like this when we ask them to prioritize. for some to stay after 10 years, but we hope that they will, and they're supposed to be paying all of their taxes, as soon as it's much like this, when we ask them to prioritize, and it's developers as well, especially for this one, already indicated that they were interested in using local labor. I don't see any reason for this council not to support prioritizing the use of our local labor. Mr. Holover, thank you. Mr. Holover, thank you. I would like to see what North Plan has to say about this. We'll represent those in North Point-like-2. Make a comment on this. Yes, happy to. Thank you very much for the opportunity to be here this evening. Great question, great dialogue. I use the local labor, I hear support of that, but I think you're identifying some of the issues of saying, if it's prioritizing use of local labor, absolutely. That's a no-brainer, it's like what we're trying to do with all of our projects. It would just be difficult to get a house that being quantified through is that good faith effort We do that already. That would be, you know, when we're developing the projects, we use their higher-age in our contractor, then the general contractor has certain obligations there. So we will certainly make that statement known to general contractor to try to use local labor when feasible. So I'm not sure what the problem with priority in code and codifying that with prior time work. Is this something that you would have a necessarily issue with? No, I mean, it's not necessarily binding. That's certainly certain. And the way the language is written. That's right. But you already are promising to do that, which I don't know if that's necessarily half the language, but if it wasn't in there, I don't think it would be necessarily an issue. That's right. If it was brought up before the seating, we've been happy to propose language in it, and might have said something in a free-amble, maybe an awareness clause, whereas there are kind of counsels passing the resolution to recognize the importance of utilizing local labor and encourages the use of local labor, something like that or a non-binding state in that B.A. as a preamble. That's on the cuff, that's where I would have put something like that into the resolution but happy to have that included no checks on that okay. I think that it's thank you for that. It helps me. You can share it, but it's a good thing there are questions. But if we are going to actually vote on amendment and if that amendment passes, I would like to see some very specific language on it rather than this name. You know, we're going to encourage our prior times, prior to the New York County Labor. I would like to see more detail in description of that amendment. Word such as, however, this is not binding on the developer or contractor. Should the people be hired outside of the Eastern County? And if that proves to be a case, there is no revocation or penalties against the contractor. I'm not sure how that should be ruled. I'm not a lawyer or a manager. I'm not a manager on word. This is nothing that Mr. Will Scoutish. emotional scale. The more you put into something, the more you can stream yourself. So by making it open ended, you know they do open ended. I mean, just saying that they are to prioritize local labor, it doesn't, it does not say that there is a repression, it doesn't say that they have to. It's not binding. Silicon general when he was writing was and you want, but assuming you don't, aren't the best. Vice chair, Vice chair is like right now. Brian? I got it. I asked your question. What was the question? I'm assuming that you're not in love with this amendment. Am I right? Well based on what they said, I was supporting them and I just don't want to push them in a trap for too much. So yeah, with less words. I'm curious to know what their comment is under comment. Go ahead. I'd like to push them into traffic. I wasn't going to finish my sentence. Thanks. OK. Go ahead. I'm going to show us a caption. Sorry. Go ahead, guys. If you have a comment tonight, comment. Other than if we would have had more time before the scene you put on the spot, we would work some in that perfectly. and again hopefully address all of council's comments. Again, if it's a loose statement about putting priority or the importance of labor using local labor, we're fine. Obviously, it would happen that included green and wool, just to start education as a bit of not mining, just because it creates complexity of policing and has an event, has an event, just creates. And it gets away, I think, from the attention. I mean, the attention here is obviously in getting the improvements built, you know, the other components of the operational side of things, is outside the context of real estate tax piece. But we have that commitment. We do that already, and so we have no issue of the general statement, you can put in the pre-amble, that's not my... Okay, thank you Mr. Oskach. So where I have a problem is this was put through the infrastructure brought to us for a work session. We discussed it. and couldn't re-enable. Okay, thank you, Mr. Oscapsch. So where I have a problem is this was put through the infrastructure brought to us for a work session. We discussed it. It was plenty of time before this meeting to bring up any changes that should have been made but weren't. Now, are you sitting here at the last hour to do it once again? Which I find rather annoying. But in addition to that, we're arguing over a point that's mute. because they're saying they're willing to do it, but they're not going to help with their feet to the fire. So it's kind of a new point, so I don't know why we're talking about it, at the honest. It makes those sense. Uh, uh, Chef, you know, Councilman Smith, would you be open to a front amendment where we make it making a warehouse, like Bayes and Jackson. Councilman Haas, through my view, person here when he grabbed my things so I can't find him in the beginning of it. I don't think there is a warehouse. Yeah, there is. Okay, I can find him. I can't find him. I can't reach that. You can find your stuff periods. Yeah, there's no rest. This would be on this would be on page 23 that we're talking about. Yeah, is there, or is there, I mean, there's the background. But I don't think there's no where. If anywhere I think it could go underneath the final paragraph. That's that, right? Yes. I am the one who is going to practice this and I will finish this. I am trying to do this one time, so I just going to be kind of counsel all over you. I'm going to be kind of counsel all over you. I'm going to be kind of counsel all over you. I'm going to be kind of counsel all over you. I'm going to be kind of counsel all over you. I'm going to be kind of counsel all over you. I'm going to be kind of counsel all over you. I'm going to be kind of counsel all over you. Okay, not as aware as that, but as I'm you know it's the loses most yeah and I'm just asking if you could put it in or the now therefore be resolved. Whereas those are county council encourages the use of local labor when appropriate. So do you want to change the overalls where I think? Where I think those will go to the council? That's good. We don't have to even put the where I asked. We can just put those are county council also believes in prioritizing local labor in this and all construction projects up up up up up whatever So I'm so happy Would you be Would you get a blue that is a front-end amendment? Is this start? You Uh yes I will Right to the language We'll go So we can We can hang on right on order Yeah, I mean if we're gonna vote on something today. We need to have the language. We can add it later on. If we're going to vote for something, if you're just looking here to vote for an amendment that we're going to come to a late date, that's fine. But if we're going to do an amendment that we want to then vote on this to get this over with finally Then we have to have the exact language we'll put it into you guys know your County Council also believes in the prioritization of what the labor in projects where tax abatements are being approved. Therefore, in this particular project, local labor is encouraged where possible. I's something like that. Okay. I think that's very good. Those are kind of doubts that also believes any prioritization of use in local labor and much taxidabins are being utilized. And therefore, believes that you really said that. Therefore recommends. Therefore recommends, even stronger, recommends that we use a local labor be prioritized in I think in this project. Yeah, I would say in this project just sort of. That's the plan. In the conscience of Tino. And this. Sorry, I need to speak out. No, but if it's becoming more and more narrowly tailored to this specific project, I would say it gets away from the broad statement of the encouragement of using local labor in general. So I might just make a comment that I would like the opportunity to read it, but it seems that it's putting more of a requirement than being what the aspirational statement is, which I think was the whole point of the event that was creating aspir aspiration stage and the use of look later when it was possible. I'll be honest with you. I just wanted to agree with Councilman Lascabrage that this is really a last minute amendment. I'm just saying, generally would be supportive of something like this, I think about the compliments that said the same thing, but to have this playing between more Smith the floor of the voting session is time consuming and might not bring us the result that we're necessarily looking for. So just to be fair, it says, Bulletin County Council also believes that the prioritization of the use of local labor in which tax evidences are being utilized and therefore recommends that the use of local labor be prioritized to state projects that can do within projects. Sure. That doesn't say in this context. Well, are we going to amend? That's what the vote is. I know the first you made a motion and it's been changed a couple of times. I am. defendant. Yes, we can make a motion too. How about we withdraw your amendment and then do your new amendment. All right, I will draw my side. I will draw my amendment. Mr. Chair, will the public have to weigh in on this since we're adding your language? I don't think so. Okay. We can amend it now. This is an order to work. Are you going to make an amendment to add a fourth paragraph on the background because the The Luzarn County Council also believes in the prioritization of the use of local labor in which tax abatements are being utilized and therefore recommends that the use of local labor be prioritized in such projects akin to the below project. Maybe you could put in such projects where possible and just period. I think you can be prioritized in such projects. and share a lot of fun. I'm trying to end it. Do you think it has to be this project? and chair chair chair chair chair chair chair chair chair chair chair chair chair chair chair chair chair chair chair chair chair chair chair chair chair chair chair chair chair chair chair chair chair chair chair chair chair chair chair chair chair chair chair chair chair chair chair chair chair chair chair chair chair chair chair chair chair chair chair chair chair chair chair chair chair chair chair chair chair chair chair chair chair chair chair chair chair chair chair chair chair chair chair chair chair chair chair chair chair chair chair chair chair chair chair chair chair chair chair chair chair chair chair chair chair chair chair chair chair chair chair chair chair chair chair chair chair chair chair chair chair chair chair chair chair chair So, practically meaningless. I don't know how the administration would enforce it. I don't know what the definition of a priority means in this context. I don't know what the term local means in this context. So I also believe it's fundamentally unfair to the developers who went through a series of negotiations that were negotiating with them on floor and they had no notice. It's that business for those that are county to do that. My issue is that they have no issue with that. Well, they're stating in all of its conversation that there have been willing to do this and they prioritize this to begin with. Right, so is this open ended enough? Well, if that's saying your project and just saying the structure project? God, if I may, you know, North Point, although we are a Kansas City-based, I live in this community. Tom Williams grew up in this community, where the mess in this community North Point has been developing in the Reserve County for about a decade, and we pride ourselves on the promises that we make or the promises that we keep, and we kept every single promise here to the Reserve County to its citizens more important to this council. We view council as a true partner in economic development, and we mean, and so when we make a promise, our website, not to sound for it, is beyond the contract.com for a reason. All the words on the piece of paper mean something, our word means even more. You have our word that we will continue to try to prioritize you, rising local labor when you can. I don't want the word smithing, the fly here of, you know, adding to the resolution as important as it is to get in the way of our word argument that you have our commitment. We've done it. We will continue to do it. We will continue to prioritize local labor in all of our projects. Please don't let that sand in the way of needing to include that in a documentation for us to live into that promise. The promise made is the promise kept in our world and we will keep that promise that we have the past nine years. We've had very successful development. The Robin Hood counting continues to stay here and develop going forward. Any minute? I'll do this fact. I don't understand why you don't want to just put that promise over once. And I know, problem. Is there a big one, frankly? I'm not trying to say no to that at all. I'm just trying to say it seems like there's not consensus in agreement on the council and how to handle that. The law which outside of the language that that would be something that Mr. Law will change the language is fine. We've got the question. There's no second. There's no second. Is that language sufficient? Will you read? Yes. In it ends, that's new. Just ready to hold thing, I guess. So Luther and County Council also believe in prioritization of the use of local labor, English taxidied in projects are being utilized and therefore recommends that the use of local labor be prioritized and such projects. Okay, thank you. Is there a second? Is there a second? All right, then the Phil's Black is second. There's a motion of a second on the initial resolution. Roll call. Mr. Perry. Yes. Mr. Sabatino? Yes. Ms. Smith. Yes? Ms. Sabatino. Yes. Ms. Smith. Yes. Ms. Stevenson. Yes. Mr. Thornton. Yes. Mr. Willow. Yes. Mr. Halles. Just tell me your little bit of deal. I'm going to have to say no. Mr. Kushanovsky? Yes. Mr. Laskavans. Yes. Ms. McDermott? Yes. Mr. Lombard? Yes. Janious, one note. Thank you. Number five, motion. Lombard. Yes. Janius Wendell. Thank you. Number five, motion to adopt the resolution, increasing the salary of the County Council. So we'll move. Second. All right, there's motion to the second. Just on the question, this would be Miss Lawrence's merit increase for the year that wasn't automatically done because council has to vote on it. Also, we did confidentially this type of impersonal related, but we did review her performance as council does every year. And without calling it specific, I would say she got an A+. If I was a teacher, so it would be pretty good. So call it a gay verbona. That could be another verb. So there's a motion to that second. Rokal. Mr. Sabatino. Oh, I agree, yes. Miss Smith. 100%. Yes. Miss Stevenson. Yes. Mr. Thornton. Yes. Mr. Willoughbitt. Yes. Mr. Haas. Yes. Mr. Krzyszowski. Yes, and then so. Mr. Lesgaevich. Yes. Mr. McDermott. Yes. Mr. Perry. Mr. Lvartov. Yes. You know, Mr. Thank you. Thank you. All right, number six. I don't have the exact right permission from me, but it was the motion regarding the review of the nannico bridge statements of interest. Oh go ahead. I'll take it to work, similar to what you said. So I would make a motion to allow the administration to evaluate and pair down the five letters of interest of the engineering firms to three interested engineering firms for the nannical bridge price nine is there a second there's no visit no me no you're not sure are you the second most of the second all right um local would just not oh yeah but sorry and you know I think it's a wonderful motion happen to support this, but if this council gets to see the other applications if the bid's aren't sufficient, then it's going to be a right. I mean, just let me maybe want to wait for that. Major Crockignan, you want to do a little background on this. There's a lot of bid stories. If there are not bids, there are statements of interest. and what the administration would do with narrowed down to three, that cannot make any of the names public right now, but at some point we will be able to do that. We have to follow the guidelines of Renda. So if it will come a time when you will be able to see it. You can't make the bits public. We can't make that public, but we can give you the name. That's exactly what I'm just going to question. Actually, this is a total faith in the manager, by the way. I have no reflection on that. I just want to make sure we have our shareholder to it. Yeah, I apologize for making this on the fly, but no, I think this time is up the essence in this situation. We saw the fact. Yeah. Yeah. So, um, right now there's only five. Right now the only thing we can know are the names. Right now, you know,, 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,'ve been dealing with Penda. We're following the Penda. Sure. So we would repost. We wouldn't get to know. We wouldn't get to say, okay, we'll do the other two. We're in. We'll send him let's get a bit of that. No, you will be able to never down to three. And then they're made public. And then they're made public. Yeah, they're made public. I just want to know how it. Yeah, so there's. After that, that's all. We have I-S-O-I's. Once we nearer, we're down to three. And that will release the three ranks. and then the two that were submitted in alphabetical order, that's when they're public. And just, I agree, Chair, this is a matter of extreme importance and extreme with time is, however I just can insert in function how much time to the shape of to not look at five letters and only look at three? Well, we just spent 30 minutes debating and then the bill of the law voting sessions. I think that if we can give any ability to streamline this process because it's such a, I wouldn't quite say a dire need but it's pretty close to to a dire need because there are people that rely on that bridge for emergency related purposes that we need to get this done. It's quite possible. And, well, we are going to end up approving one of those three parties who are going to submit technical bids, we'll be able to look at all of that, that will come to council and I'm going to encourage a special meeting at that point so we don't have to rely on our regular meetings, get it all, and then we'll do all of that and have it passed. And like I said, anything we're going to be able to do to streamline this process, I think we'll be helpful to consider this little bit of that area. Can I just get the answer in my question? Which is, go ahead, try to see him go ahead. I think that Nick and Michelle will be able to explain the process. As I understand it, when it gets down to three, the meeting is going to be, if we might have a 12 hour meeting. We have to, we have to under, and that rules, listen to it, to all of them together. And we have to ask each, we have to ask each firm the same question. And that could be approved by PennDOT, the questions. And generally, how many questions are there? That's not the last one. Thank you. So do you guys generally have any questions? Well, PennDOT will give us some of the questions and we will share them with you all. Let's go check. We don't have that number right now. Let's find that out. I didn't ask for a second right now for general. Okay. I would say maybe 10. Okay. Okay. Thank you for the volume. But it's more than just, like, 10 quick questions and it's done. Yeah. But it's more than just like a quick question that's done. Yeah, it's a whole presentation, a whole presentation. And we have to listen to all the learning and all stuff. Mm-hmm. Every. And may I say the five firms are excellent. I don't think we can go wrong with any of them. So we will, we'll look down the free and then we can be up there. And just like we were concerned about disenfranchising the developer from the last presentation. I'm just concerned about disenfranchising developers here. And it's only three to five, but I agree with you, this is a timely matter. And if my comments are not anything that changed anything with my, it's fine. I just wanted to know how much more time would actually take to look at all of them instead of just 30. Because we are, it is our pretty sure you duty to make sure we get the best fit, right? We are, we look for strings. So both and more fists, we might get a better idea. Both in more interested party, we might get a better idea. But I agree with you. We have to balance that chair with how important this situation is. Right. By giving this responsibility to the administration, for this small part of the process, we'll be streamlining it so that they will be essentially responsible for finding us the three best and lowest bins and then we can refer to that when we review all of this information. So if we don't like what they've done at that point then we'll go back now I don't think that would be a wise idea because we're obviously I think they understand the gravity of the situation just as we do. And. And there was no pricing involved right now. Right. There are statements of interest with resumes, qualifications, previous work, and so on. Very well, the president did the manager. Yeah, that might be using the wrong terminology. The storm. Mr. Chair, I think the process you're describing here, will lead down to be scheduled. Meeting that would have to be happened. Meeting that would have to be attended and have more terrorism, but just like already we're meeting. So anything that can get this process from 1A to B, from one side of the river to the other, will be, it'll help. It's a whole question. So I have a whole question to call. OK. There's a motion of a second. We'll call. Miss Smith. I think it's our job to make sure that we have bested anyone ever stand in higher project. And I don't believe that the same to five. In one night, with the bachelor charter and the listening, the tree. And I'd like to let everybody once in a while. Can't see enough. Mr. Stevenson. Yes. Mr. Thornton. Any interest to move in this project forward as quickly as possible? I vote yes. Mr. Willowich? Yes. Mr. Houser? Yes. Mr. Krzyszowski? Yes. Mr. Lyskiewicz? Yes, Mr. McDermott. Yes, Mr. Perry. Yes, Mr. Sabatino. Yes, Mr. Lepardom. Yes, then passes. All right, thank you. All right, that's all we have for you. We'll have public common on non-agenda items. Anybody in the audience will public common on non-agenda items. Anybody? Let's put one in place. Anybody on the Zoom for non-agenda items. Anybody? Anybody on the Zoom for non-agenda items? Hold on, hold on, not psychologically. All right, good. Motion to the second. I'm adjourned. All in favor? I'm opposed. The meeting is adjourned at 7 o'clock.
