Commissioners for County, Florida. It's August 5th, 2025. It's 9:30. Uh at this time, I'm going to ask Commissioner Andrews to uh lead us in prayer and a flag. Before we pray, I would like to ask that
everyone remember the Roman Alvarez family. He passed away. Um he was a great person in this community. He was a pastor and he worked for the sheriff's department for many years. U you a just
a fine servant of God. Um um he was I consider him officer friendly. uh a person who uh would come into our community and help us to to fight crime and educate us. Um but more importantly, he was a community servant and we would
sorely miss him and we lift your family in our prayers. But please keep them in your your prayers. We'll pray now. Dear heavenly father, Lord, we thank you for this day. God, we thank you for the peace that we find and dear Lord, we ask that you be with this board. Lord, help
us to make the best decisions that we can. God lead God and direct us in everything that we do and in your name we pray. Amen. >> To the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for it
stands one nation under God indivisible with liberty and justice for all. >> Okay. The first item on the list public comments. Um, I have one uh from Mr. Paul Steel. Paul Steel, 14167 Southwest 101st
Avenue, start Florida. I wanted to talk to you today about two topics. Uh, one is the uh Trail Ridge South Mine uh county special permit for mining and the other issue is flooding throughout the county. I'm going to start with the Trail Ridge
South Mine. This happens to be the document, the sport document uh that has the operational plan that was approved uh basically by the county and this was drafted in 2019. Uh there's been many changes in that
operation since then and I would urge the county to ask more to revise this plan and update it. Uh those changes have included the uh some unpremitted discharges uh of
wastewater and the big one is the movement of uh their discharge point from the Fairwood South line for part of their water uh from going down towards Hampton that now goes to Alligator Creek. And
the problem with that is that in addition to uh what they've found is they have a they've exceeded the radium limit uh for uh discharged water. Radium is a radioactive element and if it's uh
discharged into Alligator Creek, it has the potential to contaminate homes in the Country Club Estates would be the the uh area with the highest risk. But there would also be risks furthered on down into uh the city of Stark as well.
And so I think that's important that the county uh seek clarification that on the radium issue. The uh and the best way to do that is to actually have the plan revised and
updated. We now want to shift into uh the uh issue of flooding throughout the county. And I want to just mention I don't think the county is ready for a major rain event. The waterways are significantly blocked by trees and
debris. And we have a very serious problem uh with this water management district project in stock. It's called the Edwards Bottomland Project. It's slowing the water that flows down alligator creek. When that happens, it
actually results in more debris being mobilized and this debris then becomes trapped and we could have something very similar to what happened during Hurricane Irma when debris got trapped and Alligator Creek eventually
essentially was completely uh clogged up, blocked until the trap uh broke down and washed away. And so I think it's real important before we get to a major hurricane event that we take
some action to address these issues. Thank you. Thank you, M. That's all the public comment cards I have. Uh we'll move on to item three, approval of the consent agenda. I'll make a motion to approve, but I would like to strike item J from the consent
agenda. I just don't think that uh the timing of that expenditure right now is necessary. Do you want to remove it and then we'll discuss it? Is that >> we can do that? >> The bottom line is I just don't think
it's a necessary expenditure. Continue to talk about it if you'd like. >> Okay. Any questions? >> Elaborate on the the need for that at this time. >> Sure. Yes, ma'am. When the crews right
now, there's fillings out there. So when they come back from a fire to clean their hose, they're having to run into city of Stark to come to station one here to clean their hose because there's nowhere for them to be able to wash their hose off, decontaminate it. Um, and so they're having to to again come
into town to come clean their hose, wash that off. Um, you know, in addition to that funding being in reserve, we do have 22,000 that we've generated from approximately 22,000 been generated from
our apparatus sales as well as our standby events that we've done for uh events like out of the firm and things like that. So we do have 22 around 22,000 that were generated from that. Um so it would actually really only be about 10,000 of you know unencumbered
money that we're that we're asking for there out of reserves. But I I just hate to see a brand new, you know, fire station out there with with a mill parking lot, but uh you I think I it's we've got a great opportunity to do it once and do it right here. And I would certainly would appreciate the
opportunity and I think it would again serve the citizens well for keeping our apparatus in that district. >> Chief Carter, I think we do what we can with what we have. We've really done that last couple years and really stretched out. So again, that would be
and based on, you know, what I read and what I'm hearing, I know there is an opportunity to clean those hoses in other areas and even station 10, you know, somewhere like that that hasn't had out front. It's not, you know, too far away. But again, I just uh looking
at expenditures and I know you're saying that you know there's other apparatus apparati that were sold and things like that but same time you know I think that uh your department you know with the fire assessment if it goes through at 50% there's still
another 50% that needs to be funded. So, you know, wherever there's other money that could be spent and I would certainly recommend, you know, looking at it that way, but again, it's just my own opinion. In my opinion, is um too many times in
the county um we start projects and we do them halfway and leave the other half undone and never go back. We have discussed on this board the um some of us being afraid that if we pulled from the agenda that it will
never come back up. I have places in my district that that that was done. we ran out of this and so we couldn't complete that and we just leave it a mess and this will be another situation where for a small amount of money
we can complete this sense and have it where it should be and how it should be and then we don't have to go back to it um because as it sounds like uh just leave it like it is. So I disagree we have the money and and
let's finish the project and do it right. when we started the project, we should have finished it then. And again, >> oh, great. >> This just came up. >> This isn't some This came up, you know, as an an addendum to the agenda. Again,
it's not something that it's just never going to be revisited. But again, it's something that just came up. >> I understand. But the reason it just came up is because they just completed the project. They just built the building. So, I agree. it should have been paid back when it was built. I
totally agree, but it wasn't. >> That could have been considered. >> And so we can correct that mistake from the past and um and then move on. We won't have to worry about >> Well, you know, we had to set aside 33,000 to pay Brooker Park, too.
>> Pardon me. >> We had set aside 33,000 to pay Brooker's parking lot, too. >> Certainly, we won't leave it undone. Well, that's why they're spot. >> Just a question, Mr. Thompson. Is that your opinion that is not something that
we can do within our budget? >> We're getting closed down to that minimum reserve. And then the question for the chief was it your intended that will come out of your contingency funds other um that you have above the 22.
>> That's correct. Yes ma'am. >> So it's in your contingency funds right now. >> We do. We've not touched our contingency funds. We have 500,000 in that contingency fund and our goal. We may end the year with not having toard the last few reports. were contributing to
know our our fund balance and not using our fund balance the last few reports. So I I just you know and I think that I would hate to have a brand new new fire station out there something that we're incredibly proud of and the community is proud of and we use it as a sandbag fill
site when we have hurricanes. We always put put there for the public to come in and use as well. So just think it's a we have an opportunity right now. The county is going to be doing the the work uh themselves. We're not contracting that out. So the county uh Jason will be
him and his team will be completing the work. I just think it's uh again something that that needs to be done. >> When we discussed our capital improvement plan, is there any consideration to putting that in? There was not uh this was and if you
remember this was done all the station itself was done through appropriations. So uh but that was back this this is a long long process because this was the appropriations that was obtained under the sheriff's office. So we had to go back to the state get reappropriated for
the Samson city building. So there were a lot of funds that uh again we we got transferred over but it's just with cost the way that they are with construction u you know it's just not not enough to cover the parking lot itself. And again we're not talking about just the parking
lot. We're talking about the apparatus aprons where they can pull in back in. We've got you know brand new truck there that that is is going to be covered in dust and dirt tracking into a brand new station and everything else. I just think that again we for not saying that
it's a small amount of money but I think for again with the the money that we generated from our equipment sales and standby revenue I think that it's certainly reasonable to to ask for that >> and when would this take place? I mean
>> this this week starting tomorrow. >> Really? >> Yes. The station's I mean we're great great news is we're about 90 95% done with that project. So that's really one of our our big holdups right now is getting something done with
that. So you're trying to get this done so that when um the contractor is done with a building and then you'll have your grand opening and >> Yes. >> everything will be complete and done. >> Yep. So to the parts point then moving forward
is the payment of that going to be in your account that would be in his in his proposal but I definitely will >> just I'm just saying so these things don't just come up 3 days before >> our meetings you know and I think that's
where we get blindsided stuff >> this this one we were hopeful that the contractor would have enough at the end of the project to be able to pave the parking lot and and he was able to pave an 8ft uh concrete apron, but 8 foot doesn't cover much when you're talking about a 40ft fire truck. So, uh he was
able to put a 8ft concrete apron out there. Uh and then working with with Jason and his team to try and get asphalt. Obviously, concrete is not even within the realm of possibility due to the cost of it. U so we we went with asphalt, you know, for the for the option. Um, and so again, I think that
would be the best to be able to tie into it and make it a, like I said, a nice presentable and functional place to use. >> And I think he's done an excellent job with the amount of money. I mean, he is he's done everything he can to stretch
the dollars and and do his part. So, I think he's done a very good job with that. >> With the money he had, >> I I don't know concrete dolls, Mr. Ud. So, So, you're basically saying you
need, you know, to pay 32 feet of the apron. Um, you know, since the contractor can only do eight. So, is there any chance, Mr. Dods, if it could be done um for any less paper lines?
To answer your question, there's always the opportunity to do it for less, but you reduce the amount that that that they're uh requesting to be done. Um that cost is just strictly asphalt and striping of the parking area. That does not include our labor, trucking, or
fuel. >> Yes. Um it it seems reasonable if you are able to do it out of your apparatus sale and then you have um 10,000 that would be out of your contingency.
Um although it's it is a last minute kind of a thing but it would seem to be um a reasonable thing. It just always amazes me. Amazes me how we just we're always
money. >> Well, I I did concur um that we we need to know we need to know up up front, you know, and then it's not a a maximum thing as you mentioned.
>> Anyway, that was my motion. So, I think we beat this to death. We do have a motion on the table. I have a motion second. >> And that's to remove item J. >> So we have a motion and a second to
approve this except for item J. Okay. All right. We have a motion second. All in favor by a sign of I. >> Any oppose? >> Yes. >> I posted.
>> Okay. Okay. So that's 32 for the motion fails. Um now do I have a motion to to approve the consent agenda the way it's written? >> I'll make a motion we approve. >> Okay. I have a motion from Commissioner
Thompson to approve the consent agenda. Second from Commissioner Andrews. All in favor by >> I. >> I. Any opposed? >> Nay. >> Okay. his name? >> No. >> Oh, okay. Okay. So, I think motion
carries 41. Okay. Moving on to item four. Uh, reconsider funding requests by the Bradford Cowboys to be funded for 7500 to match the um feral year fiscal year 2425 rate.
>> Yes. And I I brought this um forward because of the situation with the cowboy board that we did not um having have to consider um this nonprofit um agency and existing for 51 years. They had extra
expense to the school where they had to pay I didn't realize $1,200 each use of their field um for their um games. Um, in addition to that, their insurance costs, their helmets, um, the cost for
each team. Um, this is not a flyaway kind of team, but it's been existing for a long time. They provide a community service, and without the county's assistance, it would greatly negatively impact their ability to to function in
the community. And so I would um ask uh for a motion um I would motion for reconsideration of the previously funding for the nonprofits uh agencies that we made on July 17, 2025
consideration. I have a motion for uh >> can I interject? >> Yes. >> Chair rate department I don't think Punk cowboys $150,000 a year.
>> And that um I'll be honest, that's where I was torn with this because in our meeting for the for the recreation uh even Mr. Rodney Rodney Mosley even said that it would be
great to get one recreation department with everybody under it. Um, so I thought that's the way that the board had the consensus is that's the way we were going that we were taking all the wreck funding and putting it towards the
recreation the 150,000 to support um a full-time rec. So that's and and again like I said I'm torn with this because I don't want to take money away from any kids on any sports but I I just remember if if I'm reme remembering correctly
that's we had that discussion and that's what we all talked about that we would be funding the recreation full 150,000 >> um and and so I along with the the body
um consented to holding that but not realizing ing that their their team is already underway and um they're already formed and without that fund for them now it it will deplete what they need to be
able to do. So, but if the recreation fund that 150 is going to cover that expense, then that's a different situation. But that's not the case. >> Yeah. And at this point, I can't say yes or no because we haven't even Well, I
just got nominated to be on that board. I don't even know who's on the city board yet. Uh much less the TDC board hasn't met. They won't meet until August till this month. Uh and then we got to put out to get, you know, the public's involvement. So there there, in other
words, there's no board set up right at this point. >> And there's there's no interlocal agreement signed or nothing between the city and the county yet. We're just still working on correct. >> Yes. And that lies in the dilemma um that's going to happen or proposedly
will happen but right now it's already existed. It's like school starts next week but it's like waiting saying that we'll wait until maybe 6 months to get some funds but then they would need it now if that makes sense.
So, we reduce your rate department about $7,500 this year. >> You can't because we've already got we've already said that with the city. We've already told them we'd put in 150 and the city's already agreed to 150. So, you can't you can't reduce it.
>> Well, what I look at the budget that's we we're looking at is $166,000 with I guess 11 in contingency. So 75 could be taken from that continues and still leaves you the 150 that you're speaking of.
>> We're still spending the money that we need to start thinking about >> but that's within the budget that we're we're looking >> I'll make it clear for the record too. There was a consensus on that and I think you asked the attorney if the 4 to one was a consensus
>> because I was opposed to that. So just moving forward when we talk about the body and the board you know the consensus was only four on >> well for the rec but yes but but I do agree you know with you when you guys were
talking about the rec department that included in the rec department that amount of money. Yes. If you fund the additional 7,500 then now you're in Yeah. >> So is that correct? What I see the
166,800 is what's in the budget for the rec department. That's what I see on on um department 21. It's the number 21 on the >> That's correct. 11,800 is what's
budgeted for your parks. >> So if you have rooms, whatnot, and then 150,000 is for what you all voted or the majority consensus at the last workshop for recreation and then you have 5,000
in reserve. You always want to maintain some type of reserve because you never know, you know, if it's going to be damaged and you need to replace something. So, if you were to provide that, that'll still leave you a small amount of reserves.
>> Okay. Well, well, at this time, I have a motion from um Commissioner Spooner. um to reconsider the vote on the recreation. Do I have a second? Okay,
motion fails for lack of a second. All right, moving on to item five, works reporting present tenative 2526 county budget which probably won't change 100 more times down September.
>> Morning chair uh Mr. care commissioners. Uh the binder in front of you contains the tentative budget for fiscal year 2526. It includes detailed line items, both revenue and expenditures for all board departments along with transfers out to
each constitutional office. I want to review a few things we discussed at the July 1st budget workshop. Available fund balance. We use these funds to help balance the budget. These are included on the revenue side of the budget.
The budget summary on the first page reflects the anticipated available fund balance at September 30th for each fund. This is based on quarterly estimates through the end of the third quarter or June 30th. These fund balances are estimates and can be affected by any
large last minute purchases between now and the end of the current fiscal year. Um, for example, there were several items on the consent agenda that I would need to make adjustments for prior to the tenative budget hearing scheduled for September 9th. There was $20,000 for
a John Deere excavator, 58,000 for an emergency fire engine repair, $33,000 for the paving the parking lot at station in uh Samson City, and there was $80,000 for Striker cardiac monitors
uh plus a $15,000 match that you approved at the July 1st meeting. So, this purchase uh is actually a total of 230,000. Um this is the cardiac monitors. It's actually a total of 230,000 of which
135,000 is covered by a grant which leaves 95,000 just the 15,000 match from the approved um that you approved at July 1st meeting and the 80,000 from this meeting today which means this $95,000
is coming from current year budgeted funds. While all of these items have available funding in the current budget year, I want you to be aware that purchases like these can decrease your available fund balance that's expected to carry over to
help balance the budget for next fiscal year. So, in my quarterly updates, you hear me say if revenue and expenditures continue at the same rate, you can expect the fund balance to be such and such. So purchases like these can
potentially be outside of that same rate um category and could affect the transfers needed from the general fund. So additionally on the revenue side revenue includes 10 mills on property values uh received from the property
appraisers office. This includes estimated revenue from other state and local sources based on current year revenue. This does not include anticipated revenue from the proposed fire assessment yet. With this being a new potential revenue source, we will treat any revenue
received in fiscal year 2526 as unanticipated revenue at the end of the fiscal year and will adjust the budget at that time. On the expenditure side, it includes AVMED's final renewal rates at a 3.1%
increase over current year. It includes all county funded CIP items. It includes a 3% cost of living adjustment. It includes current FRS rates and it includes outside organizations as approved at your last meeting.
It includes all budget requests received from board departments and constitutional offices. Uh and in that the fire rescue budget request includes expenditures for the station and Brooker and the clerk's budget request had an overall decrease due to revised FRS and
FNET rates. So if you look at uh the second page in your binder, this is the tenative budget summary and it's broken out by expenditure type. We have total expenditures at 88,911,000.
The expenditures are broken out by type on the right hand side. So we have regular expenditures at 30,972,000 grant expenditures 13,776,000 transfers out 30,817,000 and then your reserve for contingency is
at 13,345,000. If you look at the top right corner, you'll see the board has reserve of of around 11.2 million. Last budget year, the board established an emergency fund since the GFOA, that's the government finance officers association, re
recommends general purpose government maintain an unrestricted fund balance in the general fund of at least two months of regular operating revenue and expenditures, which for you equates to just under $7 million. If you take the 11.2 2 million we have
in reserves minus the twomonth e emergency fund of just under $7 million. That makes your new general fund reserves around 4.3 million. For comparison purposes, last budget year after accounting for the $7 million
emergency fund, there was around 5.1 million left in reserves. So this does not require board action today, but we can take questions uh from the clerk's office. The last two numbers again last year reserve
>> last year's reserves uh 5.1 million current year budgeted reserves 4.3 >> and last year we paid the 1.7 out of that items made up for a sewer project. Yeah, >> this three and a half million
US treasury that was not something that we already had. >> It was fun, but I mean we could spend it on anything we want to we >> the other 7 was what we already continued for.
>> So really if it hadn't have been for behind the fairly helps we would actually be a little bit improving for this year. A little better than last year. >> Yeah. because we just to remember, you know, some of the
new expenses that will be budgeted next year and then we should be okay in this new coming year for solid waste that we're going to have to contribute half a million, you know, moving forward. Um, so those are just things like at our last meeting that we discussed, you know, just to keep that in mind.
Okay. any other questions from the board? >> Well, not for this, but I I would like um to take a closer look at all of our professional services that we um pay for
to take a look at what those look like. there's anything that we have that we don't necessarily have to have to be able to look at some of those as a county manager job. >> You talk about professional services. I
mean, what categories are you putting >> in any and all category like we look at the details of everything that we may have? No. regard an attorney. That's that's professional service, but that's something that we have. I'm just looking
at everything that we have in terms of professional services. Is there anything that we can live without or live with? >> There's several. I mean there's Meridian and there's North Florida planning
council services consultants >> but you know those are projects that you know when we get DOT approving funding for that those are projects that are helping you know to take care of that but you know I think there's probably
some other maybe some smaller projects that Mr. God's works on needs maybe some of their services. So, but again, I I was just trying to get an idea of >> Yeah. just social service because I did talk to the deputy clerk about our
attorney services and our attorney services based on what they were before when we had a full-time attorney. I think we're we're a little bit less for sure. have
probably more focus on on our legal staff more just because of the the dual role position that our previous one was. But but basically for clarification, just look at all professional services that we have, no
matter what the what they are, just to see if there's any that we can minimize or not have to have or just looking at in general to see if there's any reduction of what we have made. And just another point to that
too, I think, you know, with those professional services that we have, those are not, you know, for instance, we don't have a county engineer in inhouse county. We don't have an inhouse county attorney. So those are things
that, you know, we rely on those services, you know, just for that. I know that, you know, we're we're working at in a different angle now with planning and zoning office when it comes to some of the things that he's working
on. But, you know, before you know, with the planning council, that was something that, you know, it was uh I think it was very obvious that we needed to take a look at that and a closer look and see if we couldn't have our consultants that are currently in your contract working
with us to, you know, cut that cost. >> Commissioner Spooner, as far as, you know, evaluating professional services, we can provide you a list of what you have. agreements. I think that it would be better for you
all as a board to discuss than that at that point because you all have approved these agreements. So, we're assuming that it must have been important to you all to engage those services. And so if it's something that you all wish to look at again and reevaluate that for you all to make that determination on whether
it's necessary or unnecessary, we can certainly work with the county manager's office to put that on the agenda for you all to have that discussion. I I'd like to do that and and I'm if I mistakfully put the illness on you in terms of you all having to make No, I
know we'd have to make that decision, but just to look objectively at everything that we do have to see if there's something that you know we can do about >> Thank you very much. >> I agree with you. I just was wondering kind of what categories you were looking at as far as you said professional
services. Okay, moving on. Uh, sheriff's report. Anybody county manager report? I just do want to take a moment to uh recognize division chief broadcasters in
the room with us today. He'll be graduating from University of Florida on Friday with his bachelor's in fire and emergency services. So, congratulations on that. >> Congratulations. >> Congratulations. >> Okay, that's it. Uh, okay. Uh, county
attorney report, turn it back over to you. >> He also has >> All right. Commissioner's comments. Um, Commissioner, I just want to say again, see have discussions about funding
always able to just, you know, find money somewhere. We need to examine that a little bit closer when it comes to, you know, trying to pull funds from one place or another. Again, I'm I'm more about cutting the budget, trying to figure out how we can make
things happen rather than just pulling stuff out of reserves and contingencies and things like that. I know the contingencies are there for a reason, but certainly as we talked about the capital improvement plan, that is to be able to have that guideline to be able to say, you know, in that contingency
plan, we're going to be able to do what we have said in the plan and then see where our shortfalls are, try to figure out how we can make that happen. But uh again, I urge the board to just consider, you
know, when it comes to the expenditures and And I can't say it enough because I really do think that as the government of the state of Florida moves forward, there is going to be more and more discussion about cutting property taxes and that that would be a huge hit. And
uh we still have, you know, concerns at the landfill who our customers are and you know, if they're going to be with us through the next, say, 10 years to help keep our cost down. If not, then the cost of the
collection assessment is going to have to go up. And I don't think we want to see that. It's it's the same for rainy day, right? So, I think that's really what we need to be super cautious about. Can I say something real quick? If they do that, Lauren, I' I've broken down the
formula. I calculated by account, it will be $550 million fiscally constrained camp. We'll end up about a $3 million shortfall. Y'all keep that in the back of your mind. What you going to cut?
Everybody put bead. That's all I have. >> And I do think um it's important u and it's important to all of us as we look critically at our budget that we reduce spending that we don't need to have. um
that that's important, but that we look at everything. And when I think about the fact that our audit um report will be coming up soon, have we done all the things that we've been asked to do the previous year to reduce the issues and
concerns that we had for the past five years? Um so when we look um the sheriff is in here but when we look at the budgets for our um sheriff department for any of our departments that we if there is any um exceptions uh or
recommendations from our previous audits that they've said we need to do. Have we done them? And and if not why and then how do we make it happen? So, so that even the expenditures for having the audit could be reduced. But when it when
it stretches out for a long period of time, that is the cost that we incur. We incur more each year. So, what what are we doing to ensure that that that doesn't happen. Um and so when I asked the question for
example and looking at our professional services that that's looking at everything to just ensure that we are as detailed as we can and ensure that we have those detailed budgets from every department
so that we know where our money how much. Um, so so to do that and so I appreciate our clerk department and our board as we we're looking at these things that are very sensitive to everyone, but we just wanted to do the best job that that we can in that
regard. Um again I want to express my condolences to um Sheriff Smith and his family Mike Stephanie um for the loss of Mr. Aberance who works for many many many years with our sheriff department. Uh I
want to acknowledge the um programs that occurred over the past week from the uh peace build community come to together day. Uh participation was had from uh um rescue from different people in our
community. Also we had many back to school events um downtown merches and others. um Miss Hutcherson who senate um last week this past weekend um at the Oak Street
um area and um concerned citizens program as well. So let's support all of those program for our children and also with all of the violence that has happened not just in our community but our surrounding communities that are
close to us and within our state so that we try to build up and support one another and discourage violence in our community and also get the help that the people need um that
are suffering from mental illness. And and the other thing that concerns me um chief um too is the heat index and is there anything that we're doing to kind of safeguard the folk in our community? Some places
have cooling stations. Is there anything our community could be doing or have in reserve in case we need to to do that? But I appreciate each and every one of you. And the issue with the cowboys then
if everything is under a department or will be direct department then expenditure such as as they have would then be submitted to our rec department assistance. That's what I
have. Okay. All right. Uh I thank you all. God bless each other. Mr. Anders, >> thank everybody for being here and um and I'm thankful that we we are able to find money when we need it. Um I know
that we have had some big expenses like fairgrounds that has really hit our budget, but we understood that when when we did it that it was going to show up. Um, in the past we have done I mean we grow every year and and we've
done well. So that we will continue that and of course each and every one of us know if we lose our property taxes it's going to hit a start and many of our projects will go by the wayside and we understand that.
So and with the savings that we have, we are prepared beyond what we are required. And so I thank each one of you and thank the board for allowing us to pave the
parking lot in Saxon City. Thank you. And again, I thank everyone for being here. um Cowboys. I we'll see what we can do to work something out with that with the recck department uh moving forward. Um but we do have to get the recck department organized and
together first. I do have a meeting I believe this Thursday uh with the city again and um hopefully we'll be making some more progress moving forward. Um and again I thank everyone for being here today. Uh there's nothing else to
come before the board. Beans are drunk.
