If you'll stand for the pledge and a moment of silence. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and
justice for all. All right. At this time, we have the recognition of our esteemed retiring employee, Teresa Norwood. Theresa Norwood. Mr. Chair, if I may, just a couple of of
words. Over the past three and a half decades, Theres Norwood has been a cornerstone of the Crowing County team, a steady hand, a trusted colleague, and a source of vast knowledge and support for so many. Her commitment,
professionalism, and heart have left a lasting mark, not only on the work that we do, but on all of us fortunate enough to work alongside of her. Throughout her remarkable 35-year career, Theres has prepared over 2,000
meeting agendas, compiled minutes from almost 1500 meetings. She has worked with two county auditors, four county administrators, 25 county commissioners, and countless individuals across our organization.
Each and every one of them has benefited not only from Teresa's exceptional professional skills, but more importantly from her friendship and personal connection. While we will miss her presence deeply, we are grateful for the
legacy she leaves behind and the example that she set for others to follow. Thrice, thank you for the years of outstanding service. We wish you all the best in this next chapter of life. May it be filled with joy, adventure,
and well-earned relaxation. Congratulations on your retirement. Oh, wow. Thank you very much, Debbie. It's hard to believe it's been 35 years since I first walked through the doors of this very building. As a freshfaced 19-year-old in my bright red dress,
ready to take on the world, I settled into my big old gray steel desk and fired up my word processor with a floppy disc drive with not a clue to what I was doing. Who could have imagined how different the world would look three and
a half decades later? Back then, there was no internet, email, or voicemail. But the one thing that hasn't changed over the years are the great people that I've worked with. Not only have I had some of the best co-workers, but I've also had some of the best bosses. Two
county auditors, four county administrators, 25 county commissioners, each with their own story, personality, and leadership style. Working for elected officials is not for the faint of heart, but as you all know, I am not the faint of
heart. I love making those personal connections with each of my commissioners. I want to wish you all happiness and success in your own lives. And I sincerely hope our paths will cross again someday. I'll miss you guys.
the one. Hey, I got a lot further than I thought I was going to get. So, on behalf of Crowing County, I'd like to present this certificate of excellence. And that is a true statement in your case. So, thank you very much
for this 35 years of great service. And if you don't know the she is a bulldog. So, she keeps us all on the straight and arrow. Thank you. Wait, do you want to hold this to it? Okay.
Okay. Ready? And it wouldn't be the true fashion if we didn't take one from a different angle, right? Uhhuh. One more. Okay, they're all done. Thank you very
much. Thanks. All right, we'll move on to number three, which is open forum. If there's anyone here who wishes to speak on something other than what's on our agenda, this would now be the time. Yes, sir. If you'll come up and
state your name and your address. Good morning. My name is Steve Zalinsky, 15965 County Road 25 Brainard. I represent Crowing Green Group. We are a small hemp and cannabis company in Oaklan
Township. I sent you all all an email last week. I don't know if you had time to read it with the holiday weekend going on. If not, I hope you can find time to do so. I'd like to take touch a little bit on our situation. We have been licensed by the Minnesota Department of Agriculture to
grow hemp on our property since 2019. When OCM was created in 2023, they took over our hemp licensing. We started the process of switching to a micro business license through OCM in 2024 as a social equity
applicant as I am a veteran. We currently hold a preliminary license approval from OCM to operate as a micro business, meaning we can grow no more than 5,000 square ft of cannabis canopy indoors and open one retail location.
The city of Brainard has already held its first reading on an ordinance to allow two retail locations in the city limits and to issue permits to persons that have pre-approval from OCM on a first serve basis. The second reading is planned to
be held at the next council meeting now that the governor has signed the omnibus cannabis policy bill which now states that permits can be issued with preapproval instead of a license. Since we were the first to approach the city, we will be in a position to hold one of the two Brainer
permits. It is and always has been for many years now our goal to grow indoor cannabis on our rural property in Oaklan Township and open a craft cannabis retail store in the city limits. Now that OCM and the state have come to agreement on how everything will play
out as a small craft business, we find ourselves at a disadvantage to the large corporate cannabis companies when it comes to the county's land use ordinance for cultivation. We are asking the county to please go back and look at the land use ordinance and find a way to help the
small craft businesses succeed without the burden of following the strict rules of corporate corporate cannabis companies. We are willing to work with you in any way to make this happen. Thank you for your time. Before you leave, if I can just ask a
question. Have you spoken with land services? I have about this issue. So they So you have communicated together. You know what the issue is then? Chris, Mr. Chair, go ahead. I believe Mr. Zalinsky has an a
meeting with the DRT committee meeting this morning. Is that correct, sir? So he is working through the process that we have laid out for that which would be to get zoned commercial but I can't see that happening. So I'm asking coming to you today to ask is there any way we can
change the ordinance? Okay, we'll take that under consideration. Thank you. Thank you very much. Anyone else that would like to speak during open forum? Seeing none, we'll move
on to number four, which is review and approve the minutes from May 13, 2025. Motion to approve. Second. Motion by Commissioner Coring, second by Commissioner Franzine. Any discussion? All in favor
signify by saying I. I. I. That motion passes. Move on to the review and approve of the agenda. Are there any additions? No changes or additions, Mr. Chair. Motion to approve. Motion by Commissioner
Franzine. Second by Commissioner Coring. All those in favor signify by saying I. I. Not in favor. That motion passes. Thank you. We're on to the consent
agenda. Mr. Chair, if it please, the uh board, I would like to remove uh 617 land use amendment map uh from the uh consent agenda and I would make a motion to table for further looking and
detailing of said table. Let's look at first pulling it from the consent agenda and we'll place it after we've dealt with the consent agenda. Okay. Any other considerations for the consent agenda?
Motion to approve with the uh taking out of 617. Second. Motion by Commissioner Coring, second by Commissioner Franzine. All those in favor signify by saying I. I. I. I. Those not in favor, same sign.
That motion passes. We will deal with number 6.17, land use MA map amendment. Mr. chair. I now I will make that motion to table that. Um I've not been able to do all the uh homework and research on it and I think there's some areas in there
that I um question and I'd like to have a little more time on it before we uh approve it as it is uh taking care of quite a few properties. So with your motion, would it be to and bring it back at the next meeting? Address it at the next meeting. And address it at the next meeting.
So, we have a motion to table 6.17, the land use map amendment. Do I have a second? Do I have a second? I'm going to pass the gavl to the vice chair and I will make that
second. Any discussion? I know I know that's a non-debatable motion, but I I I guess I'd like to know more about it, but I guess we can't debate it now. So, I'll be voting no. All those in favor signify by saying I. I. I. Those not in
favor, same sign. No. No. No. Motion fails. That motion fails. Yep. Thank you. Could we Mr. Chairman? Yes, sir. Could we just have an explanation? I I if you give me more of an explanation of what you're what's going on, then maybe I
could be with you, but I don't understand. Well, since it's been cancelled, um, what I will say is that I looked at a lot of those and I didn't go to each property, but there were some that were moving from commercial to rural residential, which I kind of questioned in the in the um unorganized
territory. Mr. Chair, perhaps I can shed a little bit of light on this topic, and if not, Gary and Chris could maybe help fill in as well. This is to clean up some mistakes that were on or errors that were on the map after we went through the update last year. There were
a couple of parcels that got listed on the map as being in commercial or real residential five when they should have been in 2.5. There were a few areas on the map where the zoning actually has not changed, but the map was incorrect. So, these changes were to update to make
sure that it was reflective of what it really is truly supposed to be. There was a wrong error. There was errors on the map and this is correcting what those errors were. And I was one of those who when I looked at it there was so many of them there. My concern was I
didn't have a chance to review them that there is significant number of persons. You you mentioned a few errors. I would have caught those but it was a significant number of errors and um and I wanted to do a little more research on that and that's that's the reason I would it's not changing what any of the
zoning was was for any of the areas. It was correcting the erroneous map is what it was doing which we did approve that erroneous map correct one time. So the motion to table failed. I'll look for a motion to approve 6.17.
There is a motion to approve 6.17. I will by Commissioner Coring. Second by Commissioner Lubkey. All those in favor signify by saying I. I. I. I. Not in favor same sign. That motion passes. Thank you for the clarification,
administrator. I number seven, I would look for a motion to open a public hearing regarding the update to the Crowing County solid waste ordinance. So move on that motion. Second motion by Commissioner Coring, second by
Commissioner Franzine to open the public hearing. All those in favor signify by saying I. I. I. I. Not in favor. Same sign. That motion passes. We'll open the public hearing at 9:15. Anyone who would Well, I have Mr.
Layman. Is that correct? Yep. If you would like to come up to the microphone and speak. Yeah. Just if you would give us your name and your address again, please. Yeah. Brett Layman, 19210 Spencer Road. And that's
Brainard. Righty. Uh, good morning, commissioners. I stand before you as a concerned citizen and a firm believer in individual liberty to address the existing ordinance limiting abandoned, inoperable, or unlicensed vehicles as well as vehicle parts on private
property. While the proposed amendment to lift some of these restrictions is a step in the right direction, I urge you to go further and completely eliminate restrictions on the number of inoperable or unlicensed vehicles a landowner may
keep. The current ordinance, even with the proposed charges, remains an overreach of government authority that undermines the core principles of personal freedom and property rights, which are the bedrock of a free
society. I believe individuals should have the autonomy to use their property as they see fit pro provided that they do not have a direct harm on others. The existing ordinance, which restricts the number of inoperable or unlicensed
vehicles, whether a classic car awaiting restoration or a project truck, infringes on that fundamental right. It assumes the county knows better than the individuals how their land should
function. This is not about public safety or nuisance. It's about control. Consider this. Would the county next regulate how many flower pots I can have on my porch, deeming them cluttered, or limit the number of books
on my shelves? They are they're a fire hazard. These examples may sound absurd, but they illustrate the slippery slope of government overreach. If the county can dictate the number of inoperable or unlicensed vehicles on a private
property, what's to stop it from po police policing sorry uh policing the personal choices such as the number of garden gnomes or the style of backyard shed. Property rights are sacred. They
empower individuals to pursue their passions, whether restricting vintage cars or restoring vintage cars or collecting spare parts for future projects. Inoperable or unlicensed vehicles harm no one. Yet, the current
ordinance treats land owners like children who need supervision, eroding personal responsibility and trust. The personal uh I'm sorry, the proposed amendment to loosen these restrictions acknowledges that they that
the rule is overly restrictive, but it doesn't go far enough. Partial relief uh still subjects land owners to arbitrary limits on their freedom. I urge the county to fully
repeal the restrictions of interoper inoperable and unlicensed vehicles in the ordinance. Focus on real issues like roads, schools, public safety, not micromanaging private property. Let's preserve Crowing County as a place where
freedom thrives, not where bureaucracy stifles it. Trust land owners to manage their property responsibly. eliminate the ordinances restrictions entirely and uphold liberty. Thank you. Thank you very much.
Yep. Thank you. Anyone else who would like to speak on the solid waste ordinance? Anyone else who would like to speak? Hearing none. And seeing none, I will close the public hearing at 919.
Motion. I'm sorry. I need a motion. Motion to close the public hearing. Motion by Commissioner Coring. Second. Second by Commissioner Franzine to close the public hearing. All those in favor signify by saying I. I. I. I. Not in
favor. Same signed. That motion passes. We'll move on to number eight. Good morning. Morning, Mr. Chair, county board. Um, I am here today, Keratary Community Services to uh ask for your approval for up to
$30,000 out of the federal opioid settlement dollars allocated to Crowing County for our administrative efforts in community services. Uh, a little bit of a backstory. So, in 2019, um, several community members, sheriff's office,
local law enforcement, and community services, uh, got together to talk about our increased child protection numbers. the skyrocketing budget and the number of individuals in the county jail related to substance misuse. um we got together and talked and
decided to form the Briner Lakes Area Drug Education Coalition or BLADED um to help to not only support individuals who were in active um use but also those who were seeking treatment um and who were trying to live um a life free of
chemicals, but also to do preventative work within the community. Uh early on, the sheriff's office allocated about $10,000 in their budget uh to be able to move the coalition work forward. These dollars were used for things like sending our coalition members to the
Minnesota prevention conference trainings to learn more about preventative measures, uh to support our work at the Blade booth in the Crowing County Fair, the home expo, and then training sessions within the community. um all were supported under those
dollars. In 2022, Crowing County received notice that we would be um receiving an allocation of a little over $2.5 million in federal opioid funding. Those dollars were from settlements in at the federal level for producers,
manufacturers, and distributors of opioids and the impact that the opioids had on across the United States. Um, as I said, Crowing County was allocated the $2.5 million over the course of 18 years, and we've received
uh significant uh contributions thus far. As I noted in the request for board action, a part of the um responsibilities associated with the federal opioid dollars is through the public health department, which is under community services.
So um public health has been um named as the chief strategist for the public or for the opioid dollars, excuse me. Um it is our responsibility to convene multis- sector meetings and lead efforts that
build upon local efforts um like our community health assessments, our um community health improvement plans through the hospitals and um fostering community focused collaborative evidenceinformed approaches to reducing
substance misuse in our county. That takes um quite a lot of work. And early on with the $10,000 in the sheriff's office budget, we felt we had adequate resources at the time because we were a new coalition. We then received um some um
additional public health funds through the state with CO dollars. Um there were workforce dollars through public health and that supported those dollars supported our work as well. So we didn't feel there was a need to draw down administrative costs in the opioid
funding. Now those dollars have been cut as well, thus reducing our our budgets related to public health. We feel like this is the time then to look at allocating some administrative dollars through the um federal opioid dollars towards our work. Um the memorandum of
agreement that Crowing County signed with the uh office of attorney general for the state notes that we can claim reasonable administrative costs up to 10% of the relevant uh allocation of opioid settlement funds. So we're asking
for $30,000 annually for administrative costs. That would be toward my salary, toward Tammy Luick, our adult services manager salary, and April Mleski, who is our business manager, toward her salary. 10% or
$30,000 is a lot of money, and it is uh a small amount related to the overall uh personnel costs and the work that we do. Some of the work that we have been doing within the last couple years um in terms of the um blade opioid work um is the
$200,000 um grant allocations that we did a bit over a year ago. I brought those grant updates to you at the beginning of this year. We are also rolling out an additional $200,000 grant um process. Individuals can apply on our website. Um, as a part of that work
alone, uh, myself, Tammy, and April are responsible for, uh, receiving all of the applications, going through them, and making sure they're complete. Um, scheduling and facilitating the grant, the grantee presentations, um, bringing the information to you guys for
approval, etc. Um, so I am here today, oh, I just will mention too that it is normal for community services to take an administrative fee off the top of grants to support the work that we're doing administratively um within the
department. So, this isn't something new. This is something that we typically do. We wouldn't do it um if we were still receiving adequate public health funding. Um, but that's the reason I'm here for you today before you today is because that funding was um taken back.
So, I ask for your approval today to um allocate up to $30,000 annually for administrative costs out of the blade or federal opioid dollars to the community services budget. Thank you. Any questions for Director Terry?
Then I would look for a motion to approve. So moved. Motion to approve by Commissioner Lupkkey. I'll pass my gavl to the vice chair. I will second that motion. So, we have a motion and a second to approve. All those in favor
signify by saying I. I. I. Those not in favor, same sign. No. No. That motion fails. I'm sorry. I'm not following. The motion was to approve. Yes, it was
in two again. Okay. I'm sorry. I didn't hear yours, Rosemary. Okay. So, that motion does pass. Thank you very much. Move on to number nine. 9.1 is the Vineyard Estates Preliminary Plat. Chris
Good morning, Mr. Chair and commissioners. Good morning. Um, let me get to my right spot here. Um, we have nine items for your consideration this morning. Uh, the first request is for the preliminary plat of vineyard
estates. This is for parcel numbers 7504515 and 7504516 located in section 4 of Long Link Township. The request is to approve a conventional design preliminary plat consisting of 18 lots. Uh if you go to
the map on page 70, uh this would be the the actual um here we go. I'll try not to blind anybody with this. Uh, and so you have State Highway 25 here. This would be the Butternut Road. To the north of Butternut is Oaklan Township. To the
south is uh is Long Lake Township. This is a joint maintained road between the two townships. And um, actually Oaklan is the uh, does the maintenance on it. You can see they've got these lots here um, across Butternut and then they have these lots to the rear access to these
66 uh, points here. Um and so you'll remember it was a few months ago that uh the zoning was changed on this. This was this was at RR1 currently. Right now the residential one zoning that's why these lots are 1 acre here and then this was the agricultural forested. It got uh
changed to RR 2.5. So that's why you see these 2.5 acre lots here. There's a total of 18 lots um to be considered as part of this plat. Uh the planning commission and board of adjustment held a public meeting had their public
hearing on May 15th of 2025 and made a unanimous recommendation to the board to approve the preliminary plat of vineyard estates.

102, this is a pretty simple uh lot. You've got Warren Lane coming on both sides here. You have Crooked Lake here. And these are the two riparian lots and then you have your one lot back here that is a non-reparing lot. Um just for clarity, a variance was approved in
October of 1985 to allow for 135 foot wide lots here instead of the required 150 ft for recreational development lake. So uh that was approved back in 1985. Uh the plan commission and board of adjustment did hold a public hearing on May 15th of 2025 and made a unanimous

You're already jumping ahead of me like that. That is just so you have three lots here. Uh this is the this is actually Battle Point Road here. You've
got Bay Lake uh here as it wraps around the point. Um, you've got these. This is a non-reparing lot here. This is a repairing lot that comes down and has lake access. And this one does as well.

Second. Second by Commissioner Franzine. All those in favor signify by saying I. I. I. Not in favor. The same sign. That motion passes. We'll move on to 9.7, the Michael and Bernardine Barrett land use map amendment. Yes. Thank you, Mr.
Chair. Uh this land use map amendment is for parcel number 5726506 located in section 36 of DER Township. The request is to amend the land use map from row residential 5 to commercial industrial involving
approximately 40 acres. Um let's go if we can Amber 163. There we go. So this is the gives you an idea of what the zoning map on this is. So you have uh north and south you have K uh state highway 25. You have
Ky road 139 here to the south. The areas that you see in blue would be the rural residential 5. The areas that you see in green would be the agricultural forested. This is rural residential 10. These two here, these would be tax forfeited. And then the area that you
see in blue would be the shoreline district for um any streams or or creeks that we have out in the area. So, the area that we're talking about uh with the Barrett application is this one right here. Um just to give you and just a a point of reference as well, when the
planning commission held their meeting on May 15th, uh they also approved a variance for um the property to have a 168 foot grain mill. Um they needed a variance due to the height of it and that was approved by the planning commission. Um the plan commission did
hold a public hearing on May 15, 2025 and made a unanimous recommendation to the board to approve the land use map amendment for parcel 57260506 from rural residential 5 to commercial industrial involving approximately 40 acres. The planning commission and board of adjustment
developed the finding effect that you'll find in your packet in page 176 through 177 and based on the application submitted the staff packet public comments and the finding effect is recommended to approve the land use map amendment as submitted. Staff have reviewed the file and concur with the recommendation from the planning
commission board of adjustment. I'd be happy to answer any questions. Questions chair commission a comment if I may. So, uh, as I sit here, you know, I I think I think back to when I was younger and and, uh, the manufacturing jobs that we
had in Crowing County, we had the paper mill where, boy, if you had a job at the paper mill, that was a a great thing. And you got uh, what's the name of the place up near
CLing? You don't have a whole lot of manufacturing. I think that Crowing County is more based on recreation and people coming up here to their cabins and everything. And so now you got Barretts, Sarah Barretts here. And I
just want to publicly thank Sarah and her family for creating this. And between this facility and Little Falls, I think you're upwards of 400 employees. Am I right? So, and and I believe Sarah
that you're the only one in the whole country that specializes in these specialized uh foods. Could be monkey food, could be dog food, could be whatever. Am I right? So, I just want to publicly thank Sarah and her family
for it. This is in my district and it and it creates jobs for people. It it helps make my community down there stronger. And uh with that, I'm I'm very enthusiastically going to support this and I would move the adoption of the
land use map amendment for the Michael and Bernardine Barrett property. Second. Commissioner Coring makes a motion. Commissioner Franzine makes a second. All those in favor signify by saying I. I. Not in favor. Same sign. That motion
passes. Thank you very much. All right. Thank you, Mr. Chair. The next item we have on the um agenda is land use ordinance amendment. Um just to give you a a quick uh preview of where we're at in the process. Uh um we did um
put this out for a public comment back um in April and then we came to the committee as a whole um and gave you an update in in April uh April 15th. We did a work session with the planning commission board of adjustment on April 17th. Uh there was a public hearing with
the planning commission board of adjustment held on May 19th. Uh and then the 20th last week came back and provided an update through the committee the whole there were three public comments submitted um during that public comment period time. there was nobody came to the public hearing itself on n
on May 19th to testify um regarding the ordinance and um and the three public comments that we did receive were related to article 6.3A which is appointment of the um how the how the county board appoints members of the planning commission board of adjustment.
All three comments um wanted to keep the ordinance the way that it currently is now where uh commissioners would select their u members from their district and not at large. Uh and so um during the at the meeting on the 19th, the planning commission decided to divide the issue
into two um and made two different motions regarding the ordinance. The first motion they made was related to article 6.3A. Um they recommended denying the changes to that um on a 3:1 vote and then they made a a second motion
recommending approval of all the other amendments voting for that four to zero. Planning Commission did just want to be clear that there were two motions. One specifically to 6.3A where they did not support that amendment. Um and they so basically by by making that motion they
wanted to keep the ordinance how it currently reads as the commissioner must appoint a member from their district and not at large. And then motion two was approving recommending approval of all the other amendments. I'd be happy to answer any questions. Commissioner Coin,
Mr. Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, Mr. Chairman, Mr. Coin, I would make a motion to adopt the land use revisions as first proposed. So that would include the uh on page
let's see here on page 291 where it says appointed by each commissioner. I I'm including that in my motion adopted. So to be clear, what we have is a motion
to approve changing 6.3 to at large and the other motion was regarding uh I'm I'm just doing one motion that that
for the whole thing the whole thing but I'm including I'm I'm not dividing it like the planning commission did. I'm adopting the all the ordinance all at once. Okay. Just and when I say as first proposed, this is what was proposed at first
to change it to change 6.3 as proposed. Mr. Chair, Chris, just to make sure everybody's on the same page. We're talking the the motion would be to adopt the revisions as listed on pages 397 and 398. Correct. So that is including item
article 6.3A that a PCBA PCBOA member must be appointed by each commissioner. So it's appointing basically the commissioner has the authority to appoint whoever they want. Slow down and say that to me again. Okay. So the items
that are on page 397 and 398 of your packet, right, are the proposals. This includes all the ordinance amendments including making the appointment of a PCBOA member up to the discretion of the commissioner from each
district. They may appoint whoever they want regardless of where the person lives. Okay, that's what the motion is. That is what the motion is. Commissioner Coring. Yes, Mr. Chair. Uh for a clarification, let me get a second. Oh, a second. Sorry about that. Do I have a second?
I'll second it for discussion. Commissioner Lee makes the second for discussion. Commissioner Lubkkey. Uh Mr. Chair, uh clarification um for from you um County Administrator in this if we do make this
we either are voting for it all or not voting for it all. Is there any way that we could take out the 6.3A because otherwise I would have to vote no on the whole thing because I'm opposed to 6.3A. Is there a way I can request that to happen? Is there a procedural way that
that could be happening? The current motion would be to approve everything. If you wanted to offer an amendment to that motion, you could offer an amendment that would adopt all of the provisions with the exception of article 6.3A. I would make that motion to amend it,
but I think that has to be You need a second for the amendment and then you would vote on the amendment. I would make a motion to amend that and then to pull the 6.3A out separately and vote on that separately. Mr. Chair, you your motion would be to
not approve the 6.3A. So, it wouldn't have a separate motion. It would just be to approve the ordinance with the updates except for article 6.3A. So, do I have a second for that amendment
motion? Pass it. I'll make the second to that amendment. So, what we're going to be voting on is to the amendment is what you vote on first. So you would vote on the amendment to approve to remove article
6.3A from the approval. Correct. All those in favor signify by saying I. I. I. Not in favor. Same sign. No. I. I didn't hear
your vote. Voted with the not to remove. So it the amendment failed. So the amendment fails. Okay. The amendment fails and so we're back to the original motion. Any other discussion? One more
item of discussion. Um does this this would be everything all the way through article 123. Correct. All correct. Yes. This includes the changes just for clarification. Mr. Chair, Commissioner Lee, this includes the changes to the solid waste portion.
the junk car piece of it as well. The 12.3 inoperable motor vehicle requirements. There's another there should be another second page to this, I think, as well. Next page down. Yeah. So, it goes all It goes all the way through definitions. So,
okay. So, I won't go any um further with it because I know where the vote will stand. Sorry. I won't go any further with with another uh amendment, but I will say on that 12.3 that I'll I'll go
along with this because 12.3 is an improvement over what we had. Not that it's as good as it should be. Mr. Chair, if I could just clarify, it's in it's in 12.3, 14, and 16. So, it's in three
different articles for that. So, just not just in 12, just for clarity. It's all the same verbage. Yep. Thank you. Okay. All right, we have a motion and a second. All in favor signify by saying I. Any more discussion? Sorry. Did you have I had some more
discussion. Okay. Want to take the disc? I'll take it. Thank you. Um, with all due respect to Commissioner Coring, there are three points I would like to bring up in regards to 6.3A. It is my understanding that none of the previous commissioners that have served this county have asked
their appointee from the planning commission board of adjustment be from outside of the district they serve. Number two, the five people, one of each of our uniquely different districts that we as commissioners appoint to the planning commission board of adjustment are entrusted to carry out the land use
ordinances that we the county board have approved. And on many of those decisions, the decision of the planning commission board of adjustment are final and will not come back to us as the board. The only recourse the applicant has is to appeal this decision to the
court of law. And for the record, the majority of the planning commission board of adjustment recommend no change to ordinance 6.3A and the public comment reflected the same. Number three, as for the people who voted for me to serve the district two, my appointee will be from
that district to do anything else I believe to be a disservice to the people who voted for me. That is my comment. Thank you. So going to start over with the vote.
So we do have a motion and a second. All those in favor signify by saying I. I. Those not in favor. Nay. That motion passes. Move on to 9.9, resolution authorizing adoption of the revisions to
solid waste ordinance in Crowing County. All right. Uh, thank you, Mr. Chair. This is a followup to the public hearing we had earlier this morning. Um basically if you look at the resolution and article 4.1 right now the so remember the solid waste ordinance is an
ordinance that applies um across the county. The land use ordinance applies to the areas that we have our zoning authority. Uh and so what we're proposing in article 4.1 is to state that two inoperable or non-licensed motor vehicles, abandoned vehicles or parts um are still allowed unless
allowed pursuant to articles 12 14 or 16 of the land use ordinance. So, what we're saying is that if you're um if you're you need to be zone resident, if you're zone residential, eggforested or some commercial areas, you can have up to 10 unlicensed vehicles, one per acre.
Uh and this that just is clarifying this piece of what we just approved in the land use ordinance. So, this is just this is needed so that both ordinances are congruent and uh have the same language. All right. I would look for a motion to approve.
as recommended. Motion to approve. Commissioner Coring makes a motion to approve. Second. Commissioner Franzine makes the second. All in favor signify by saying I. I. I. Not in favor. Same sign. That motion
passes. County Sheriff. Thank you, Chris. Thank you. Morning, Mr. Chair and commissioners. uh fairly uneventful weekend that we had. Good. Um we uh just some regular uh things that uh occurred around the
county that are that uh take a little bit of time to deal with, but uh for the most part only a couple arrests and uh we did have one of our deputies involved in a motor vehicle crash. Uh there was a vehicle that pulled out in front of our one of our squads and and uh he ended up
uh uh hit striking that vehicle corner to corner and then it went down the whole side of the vehicle. So I'm not sure if the vehicle's totaled or not. Um all the airbags were deployed so he received some injuries from the airbags and stuff. So uh but he hopes to be back to work on uh Thursday is what he said.
So that was that was good. Um, yeah. Other than that, I'll take any questions at all from you if you have any. How's your deputy doing? He's doing good. Yeah. Yeah. He's a little sore and stiff from the the joshel jostle that he
took, but yeah, he's doing good. So, I just wanted to say uh Teresa uh thank you all. Thank you very much for everything. And uh we I mean we kind of started you I could tell with the emotional connection that you have with the county and here that you're
emotionally connected to us and I feel the same way with you. Um you know we started together and and I'm definitely totally understand. uh we give our life to this place and uh we love everybody that we work with and the all the opportunities that we have with each
other and uh that's what that's the part that's really going to be hard uh to that we're going to miss. So really appreciate you. Thank you. All right. Thank you. Thank you. County Attorney. Good morning everyone. Actually
Teres otherwise I'd probably be at my desk and coming virtually. I came just to see you. Yeah, but I won't get too mushy because I don't want to make you cry anymore. Um, I don't have anything else today, Mr. Commissioner, but I certainly could answer any questions any member of the board may have for me. Any questions for Don?
Thank you. Thank you, administrator. Mr. Chair, commissioners, given yesterday was a holiday, the senior management team did not meet. So, I have nothing further to report for you today, but I would be happy to answer any questions you may have of me. Any questions for
the administrator? All right. Additional business before that. Okay. Do we have Mr. Chairman, do we have a do we know anything as far as the legislative session is concerned at all or Mr. Chair, Commissioner Coring, as of
this morning, I had not heard of a date that has been called for a special session yet at this point. I believe there is still work that needs to be done by the work groups at the legislature to come to agreement on the specifics of the bills that did not get passed during the regular session.
Originally, there was hope that the the work groups, as they're now called, because once they are no longer in session, they're no longer conference committees. But the work groups were charged with getting some of their work done, the leg work by late last week. That did not happen. So, at this point,
they're still working on getting those items resolved and once they have come to an agreement, the governor has said that he will call a short special session to address those items. So, at this point, there is still a lot of to
be determined yet. Um, there were a couple of bills passed at the end of the regular session, but the ones that are going to have the majority of the impact on county government, namely in health and human services and some of the general government requirements around county program aid and other funding
sources have yet to be determined at this time. Okay. Thank you. If there's nothing else, I would look for a motion to adjurnn. So moved. Motion by Commissioner Franzine, second by Commissioner Coring.
All in favor signify by saying I. I. I. Not in favor can stick around. Otherwise, we're adjourned.
