21 souththeastward has called them and I have I believe that guy lives in California. So >> it goes up to auction next month. Yeah. Was there a uh
contract sent to you or and other commissioners from um the uh unit director for for the court system? I don't see one.
>> She me email yesterday when I was trying to have her health savings set up and >> we should probably update the somebody should probably move to update the >> Well, you can do that. You want to what
do you want to add? >> Well, one of the commissioners needs to add it when you get into your meeting. Oh >> yeah, >> court static. >> Yeah, I got an email yesterday about something
>> um from >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> sent it to Perry, myself, and Megan Hoffman. >> Yeah, that's her assistant. Can you forward that to me? >> Yeah. question from
order. >> All right, it's 8:17 in the morning. We call the October 7th County Commissioner meeting order. Everyone get a chance to look over last meetings minutes. So, can I get a motion to approve them?
>> I'll make that motion. I'll second by Chris and the second by Perry. All in favor? >> I opposed. Motion carried. Any additions to the agenda? You want for support updates?
Yeah. Any other additions? Golden was Golden Lake on there. >> There's not. But Matt, did you need a meeting today? So clear that out in the back end. >> The leases for next month.
>> Talking about the leases. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> I'll move to approve the agenda as Amanda. >> Okay. Motion by it. >> Oh, there it is.
>> You good? >> I'm good. >> Okay. Waiting for a second on the agenda. Second. >> Okay. All in favor? I try both. Motion approved.
Where do you want to start at? You want to do the gold wire? >> Sure. Quick. >> Um, so Krueger and I have been kind of talking about this for a little while and uh I talked to you guys about this a couple of months ago, I think. um just
trying to get everything updated and everything how it needs to be and how it probably should be out at the lake and then throughout the county. Um one of the things that we are missing is a siren out there like the ones that go off when tornadoes happen and um got a quote for
it. It's like 30,000 and change for the install that does not include electric. um it can come out of 911 and there is a good chunk of funding in there that can cover all of it without any dipping into anything crazy. So, um originally I was
like, "Wow, if it's only going to be a couple thousand, that's something easy to do." Uh but since it was 30,000, uh Brandon and I thought that we should bring it to the whole board and let you guys make that decision. But I don't see a reason why we shouldn't. It's my opinion.
If I remember right, we were when we were talking about it. I don't know if they really approved anything though. So, you know, I told Ben to kind of look into it. So, um >> we looked at a quote I think last meeting, right? >> Maybe. I don't
>> I remember seeing a quote. Must have been in the paperwork at least. >> Yeah. So, um the quote that I got I did only get one. It's from Federal Signal. That's the main people that put up sirens in the Midwest. Um you're not going to get a cheaper one anywhere else. So, >> where
on the east side >> right by the shelter will go in there. Electric's already there. We just got to get it hooked up to it. Um, it'll go off the Portland repeater cuz that's the closest. So, we got to get
the tones and stuff in there. Dispatch will be able to set it off. We'll be able to set it off. So, >> I think it's a good idea. >> You have you have enough money in 911 to do that? >> Yeah, there's like 90 some thousand in
there. That keeps growing every month. So, >> okay. >> I'll move to approve going forward with the siren at Golden Lake with the funds that Ben mentioned. >> Motion may carry. >> I'll second that. >> Second by Ker. All in favor?
>> I I opposed. Motion carry. Thanks guys. There is a Did I give you I give you that piece of paper for Brandon to sign with the quote. There's a letter that you have to sign just accept the quote, you know,
the letter. Thank you guys. I believe KT is assessing Sharon today, so he's not going to be here. But those two building permits that he sent in with packets for how and Johnson
both okay. very legit on those but >> Yep. That's what he said. Yep. >> Make a motion. We approve them both of them. >> Oh, no. That's what I mean. >> Motion to approve both of them. >> I'll second. >> Second. All in favor?
>> I opposed. Motion approved. Y >> read your district morning guys. Morning. >> Um, I have an estimate for you guys for
the hope building for putting uh stripping it and then putting a blue board on it for insulation and then thinning it. Right. I
>> got two estimates. Oh, that one. Everybody got one? Okay. Um Darren Hoffen, he had submitted a bid for just the front um at first and then Richard wanted well
get a price on the whole thing. So Hoffman, he said he would make it an even 30,720 uh if he did the whole works. His lumber is coming from his brother up
in Wangden. Um the second estimate uh from uh the other young guys. This is Richard had told me to contact this guy uh and
he's getting his stuff from Northwood. He the he also I mean they they both recommended that you know if you guys are going through that much work maybe you guys should put new door in it in walk-in door and new windows
to me I don't know uh we have 13,000 in that in the budget for for the building stuff. We're going to need another 15,000
uh to make it work. Uh but that's if if you guys want to do this, >> I got a way to make this work probably and you guys don't have to spend a whole lot of extra money. Um the we're going to run this through FEMA. >> So since it was caused in the June 20
disaster, um FEMA came back and they approved that declaration. So the county is involved in that. Now um since it was a public infrastructure building isn't is it is an allowable expense underneath FEMA. So technically
this could come out of the emergency fund >> even though it's short. So we would run it through insurance um whatever insurance cuts the check flow fee would cut the difference should cut
>> right now uh the heating situation um on a really cold months then they have to fill that that 500gallon tank
just about every every another week down there >> cuz it's it's brick, right? >> Just brick. >> Yep. >> Yep. There's no insulation in the walls. >> So, I mean, it would help tremendously on the heat. And also, I think it would
look it they're going to do a lighter cream color on the on the walls and stuff and then with the little darker corners. So, I mean, it'll reappl
>> What are the what's the quality of the the walk-in doors and the windows? >> Are they in Are they in good shape or they >> They work fine. I mean, for me, I I just
I don't think you'd need to do that. I mean, we don't open the windows anyway, you know. Uh, in the in the walking door is a metal door, you know. I mean, it shuts good and everything.
So, I mean, and I I think that that but it's totally up to you guys if you guys wanted to. I mean, the door frame is still the old door frame and everything, you know, but uh it might be easier if they do
to do it all right now, you know, and I suppose you'd probably add another $500 or whatever to to the cost on the bolt. So, but I was thinking, well, they're there. It's kind of one of them where they
encase it all. Old old doors leak too. Maybe a new door would be something. I can't remember. I don't recall how many windows are in there. >> Two. >> Can't be many. Yeah, >> just two. One on the east, one on the west. >> One walking door.
>> They're just And they're just they're only like two foot by two foot or something like that. You know, they're there would be very inexpensive windows that would go in there, you know. I think uh
and they'd be vinyl, you know. These are wood ones that are in there, you know. So then they're only single pane. >> Yeah, that's probably single pane. >> I think we should do the door and windows. >> Yeah, I do too. Yeah. And I think uh
So do you What do we want to do? You want to add them have them add that in here and then take the cheapest bid? that much is that what we want to do on this today or when are you looking to get this done? >> So I mean
granted I mean he he is a lower lower bid >> but he doesn't have >> uh windows and door >> when did they think they could get to it? Huh? When did they think they could get to it? Oh, >> maybe an extra year project or
>> that I don't know. I mean I mean a lot of these your guys they do them outside projects like that if it's nice out all winter long, you know, just depending. Um, >> I think I think you should get a hold of
them, find out about the windows and door and if if it's a time thing, we could have a Zoom meeting or something to approve it. >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> We better find out what that is first. So, right. >> Okay. >> And just approve it. >> Yeah.
>> Okay. We do that. Okay. Um we are mowing now with the cattail mulling >> and stuff. Uh we started on that. A lot of guys I'm calling them and they
need to clean up their road edges. You know they mowed them in August or a little even first part of September nor what not. They've grown it up. I mean, there's some that are growing up,
you know, 6 in high and some some of the grass is probably 6 in high and some of them other weeds are are 2 ft high, but I know everybody is busy in the field and uh but
it's like that every year. Um, otherwise, uh, we have about a month at least with the cattail mower and over all the different townships that we do and everything. And, uh, hopefully then
we'll hook back up to our batwing and do some more cleaning. We'll pretty much mow until it snows. So, uh, we are do going with the skid steer mower also. you know, right now doing approaches, just doing approaches and around all the signs. We did around
all the bridges on our infrastructure already. Uh that was the first thing we we do is go around all the bridges and stuff so that the farmer can mow up too and we usually mow like maybe 5 ft away
from everything. So I mean it's easy that they're not going to hit nothing. So, uh, trying to help them out and stuff. Uh, the new motor, it's a possibility that
they would, they're going to deliver it to us soon as it gets done. Um, and that might be in December >> and stuff. So, they're fine with that to wait and they'll get paid after January.
So, um, and stuff. So, um the project that of our 238 and 11, great job done. Uh they did have a hose that blew out in front here. They
actually come with a a vacuum cleaner truck which sprays high jet power water and and suction at the same time and stripped that off in 6 in strips and sucked that that paint back up again.
And then the next day they came and fog sealed that area again cuz it it took up all the fog seal too, you know. But it looks good. Yesterday they were here actually pulling off all the reflective
strips that they had put on. I've never seen that before. I called I called uh Tyler and I said they're here pulling them reflective strips up. I said I've never seen that before. He goes, I've never seen that. But the so they're
really caring about their work and their quality. >> Uh which is nice to see. Uh yesterday I pulled up the rest of the stakes uh that this that our survey crew had put out
for the signs. I pulled all them up. So and uh I found one 55 mph sign. It was still covered up. I uncovered that yesterday. So uh CSI has been hauling out of the pit down of the
burn. uh been having a little problems with them as far as stopping at that stop sign. So I did call Wayne last night and told them I said cuz I'm getting some complaints. They're calling me down there instead of I said call
Wayne and tell Wayne, >> you know, but they're calling me the people. And uh so I was down there this morning. They did have both the truck entering signs back up again this morning and they had four sandbags on each on each sign now. Uh through this
weekend's wind that had blown them into the ditch and I and uh but they got them up now and stuff and now there was another train sitting blocking blocking them again. >> The one day the train had blocked them for two hours. There was trucks on both
sides. At least it ain't on pavement. Yeah, but uh it's just they had a problem with the switch. I talked to the rail master down there and uh he said it's not normal that they would sit that
long. So, and I So, um otherwise everything's looking pretty good that way, guess. Any other questions? You guys, have you heard it or anything or
anything? >> Were you going to do anything for striping on the Golden Lake Highway where they patched it? >> Yeah, they got stripes on that, too. That That's done now. That looks good. Um, so
Mike was going to have some papers to sign. He's He looks like he's online. that online >> cuz he had one that Bo was going to sign or did you get that? >> Uh,
>> okay. So, they were going to they got to get this the paperwork signed for the pay uh Aztec. So, um and I know that they
were going to bring that up, but We'll have they'll have to get it emailed up here or something. >> I think the guys are working on our roads that are staying I think campground and hope. >> Are they the chip and see guys?
>> No, them guys there are >> No, they don't. They're not in hope. Okay, that's we're going to have to >> That's a Mexican mafia one. >> No, no, no. This is uh six RVs that moved in. >> Oh, really? >> Or three weeks ago.
>> Oh. >> And these campgrounds. >> Oh, the east one. >> Yep. >> Wow. >> Somebody said they were working. >> It could be CSI. It >> But I don't know that for a fact. I'm just wondering. >> I know right now there's a lot of
campers down by Lever. I'm just wondering because we're going to have to shut the water off there pretty quick. >> Okay. But >> if you don't want to with them, that's why >> I'll I'll ask her today when I talk to her if there's any there. So, >> I'll just stop there and talk to her
when I get back to the home. >> Uh we did pull the buoys out to the lake and we pulled the one dock in front of the store. We pulled that and stuff. Um, we'll wait to just about freeze up before we pull the other docks.
So, when it start to freeze a little bit on the water, I'm pulling them. >> Yep. >> So, I'll get you guys. So, you want to look at the We want to see
windows and doors on that. >> Both people on the doors or just Okay. new balls come in. >> Over there around doors >> that that's the front doors. He was going to put the seals and stuff all around the front doors and and uh new
ones on the door and stuff. So, okay, I'll have that. B, you want to let me know when you get those and then I can put up a quick Zoom meeting to approve it. >> I mean, it probably only take five minutes.
>> Okay. Okay. Okay. That'd be good. >> You mean kind of want a time frame, too, on material and when they could do it again, if it's going to get done this year or if it's going to be into next year. >> Okay. >> Cuz next year I could budget. We could a
little easier for it if it was for >> budget for it. >> Oh, no. Okay. Yeah. Okay. >> Mike, you have anything for us? Mike, you got something for us to talk about or he's on there?
I'll be driving. Or you just want to do the HR update here. Just do the HR update since you're here. >> Okay. So, as everybody knows, uh, ACR was done last Thursday. We coordinated to get ads
out right away on our social media and then I don't think it's even run in the paper yet, >> right? >> And the response has been I think word of mouth too, but response has been pretty positive and then I think we received
eight or nine applicants already. So, uh, and we have one applicant that has what, four years of prior experience as an assistant, uh, court recorder in in
modern times, so to speak, where she, you know, did the worked on the Odyssey platform and the Docu Docu Pro for uh the recorder position. That's pretty uh that'll be helpful if
if we decide to go that route. So, what I'd like to do is um we need to get going as quickly as possible obviously. Um so, the question is how many people do you guys want to interview or do you want to just interview one at a time to see
if that personaliz? >> Well, right now we have I think eight, but some of them some of them are qualified and some of them aren't. Okay. Um >> I'd I'd like for you guys to narrow it down a little bit to three or four
applicants. >> Yep. >> And then I think we interview the top three, four. >> Yeah. And that works for me. Um like to do it if we can maybe late next
week, >> I think. Uh yeah. Well, everyone want the interview committee. >> I'll do it. And then Janna and myself maybe. >> I think that would be good.
>> The way it is >> and Wayne or Ben can sit in then too if they want. >> Yes. >> So, okay. I'll get it arranged and get moving. >> Text messenger, phone call to them. >> Sure. depends on checking my email as much as normal. So,
>> and then as a fill in, Satie has agreed to to do that during the interm here. Um, there was a lot of I just looked, there's a lot of work that was left undone, so to speak. A lot. And, um, so
I initially asked Satie if she'd be willing to do it for a $2,000 month. It's probably going to be a month or maybe month and a half. >> When she saw all it's going to be done, she said, "I really think I'm going to need need some additional funding
because of all it's got to be done." So, she asked if she could get 3,000 a month. And I said, "I think that that would be okay." Like I said, it should be max a month to month and a half. And we've got money now because obviously we're not paying
the salary. So, you guys okay with that? Well, Satie gets married this month, don't she? After next month, >> I was just saying. So, she's got a lot going on. >> And it's her busiest time. >> So, she said she's going to probably spend after hours, too. So,
>> are we going to need any additional help, Charlie? >> We should. >> In the past, we got help from Trail County. >> Um, I've talked to Trail. They're willing to help as needed. Yep. And then they're willing to help train if uh need be too.
>> Okay. >> But they do that >> because that'll be pretty important too. >> Yes. >> Yeah. Because we want to get whoever we hire, we have to get them training. So So I will uh make a motion that we pay Sat
3K a month to fill in to catch up. Um, also if we need help from Trail County, be it at a hourly rate like we've done with the tax. >> Yeah, I'll talk to him about that. I know they in the past they've done it
and haven't charged >> in the past was an hourly rateless. So I will make motion to approve the three 3k a month for Sadi. Um and for Charlie to if there need is needed
additional help to to make that contract rate at an hourly wage with with Trail County >> whatever we did in the past >> whatever we did in the past or you know like the tax director what was it like 50 bucks an hour or something like that. So
>> I won't go over that. Well, just like I said, just negotiate that. >> Yep. We'll do that. >> That's my motion. I'll second. >> All in favor? I wish.
Then we have uh some issues going on relative to what was taken out of the out of that office and what shouldn't have been taken. I'm working on that. I don't know if we're ever going to get to the bottom of it, but I'm at least going to make an effort at it. So, and Janice's
looked at a lot of that, provided me with a list. I've sent that to to Macy and haven't really heard back from her yet. So, sounds as though there might have been a lot of county purchase supplies that were taken out of the office. I don't know that for sure yet,
but it looks that way. So, >> and again, I don't know if we're ever going to get, you know, if we're talking about two to 400 bucks, are we really going to push it? It's just it's kind of a nuisance thing, but still going to look into it.
Apply a little pressure, so to speak. So, other than that, I don't have anything good to go. >> Great. >> Thanks, Charlie. >> I'll work with Ben and Jan on picking up two or or three or four of the of the
best candidates and then we'll try to get them arranged for probably Thursday, Friday, and next week. I'll keep in keep in touch with Brandon on that. And I did just another housekeeping matter. I did look at the Golden Lake
leases and I do have information for you for you guys and that's going to be next month that we're see aware that discussed kind of in the park board email that we have to redo the leases because some of the leases go
past the game and fish lease. Yep. >> So, we're going to have to rewrite a lot of the leases and just have them sign a new one because we don't know when the sale is going to happen and what's going to happen out there. >> So, it's discussed that everyone's going to get a new lease agreement
lease that >> goes past the >> uh So, those are sub leases. The main lease is between artboard and >> correct. So, anything's past that. >> Yeah. Did you break that then? So,
>> all right, Mike, you got something for us? I do have confidence. >> I was listening, but this is easier. This is better. >> Um, so, uh, um, heard rates Reed's discussion on the seal coat. So, uh, we're still waiting for just a little
information on the, uh, painting of it. So, this would just be the, uh, um, first payment, um, for the majority of the cost on the Silk Coat project. So, this pay request is for 1,9454.31. So, if you guys are happy with where the Silk Coach is at, if you want to sign
that one and we'll get Janna a copy and she can issue payment to Aztec for Sil being pretty close. Then next month we'd come with the final pay request once we get all the the uh pavement marking information.
I'll make a motion to approve the pay request or ask that. I'll second it. All >> in favor? I opposed. Motion approved. Does everybody happen to still have
their maps that we talked about last time for the federal aid flex fund bridge removals? If you don't, I've got a couple extra copies here if you're interested. >> I need I think two three extra ones going take one pass for
now. Maybe I have four. I got another one too if you want. I got you got them or no? Okay, guys. I got to bring my backpack side. >> Anybody else? >> All right. >> Yep.
>> Okay. So, if you recall the discussion from last time, this is part of the flex funds process. So when they came out with the flex funds, they came out with a first request for the federal aid bridges to put together a list of uh your top five priorities for replacement
and your top five that you would be able to consider for removals. Um as we've talked before, the DOT's interest is in trying to get as many deficient inspected bridges off the roll as possible. So what they came back on um
at the beginning of September and said the next piece of the process is uh we've considered your list and these are the ones that we would consider funding. Please follow up with some additional cost information. So the only ones that they considered are four on the list for
removal that we talked about last time. Um, so you guys were going to do a little more discussion and uh take a look at a couple of these bridges and uh decide um what our answer should be back to the DOT. Um they're looking for these
cost estimates uh by next Wednesday. Um, in order to be able to move to the STE next step, what they're going to do is all the counties that they sent these out to, they're going to add up the total of uh all the cost estimates that come in, compare it to the money they have, and then they'll probably have to
whittle the list down further from there. But unfortunately, as we said last time, they didn't select any of your preferred replacement alternatives. They only selected four potential removements, removals of bridges that they would pay for. Um, so I know
Richard was going to take a look and talk to some land owners on a couple of these. I don't know, Brandon, if you got an opportunity. You said you were going to take a look and see what >> you thought. >> So,
kind of getting to decision time. What do we want to tell the DOT? Um, are all four of these or some of these um ones that you would consider for removal and no replacement and they would pay for the removal cost through
the flex fund. >> What were the four bridges again? >> So, um on the first page of that map, that one circled in red up on the top, the 119-01 >> um was one of them. If you go to the uh lower right of that
map, 124-15.1, you flip to the next page, the bridge just south of that, 124-15. So there's two way on the eastern part of the county. And then the uh the fourth one would be in Sherbrook
Township uh um 116-17. So we could probably start with that one. Um, my thoughts on that one for 116-17. Um, I specifically wrote it into the original response that the reason you were considering you would consider
removal on that one is if you were able to get funding to replace the one to the west. So, that particular one, I think it's really easy to respond to them and say, "We can't remove this bridge until we get the one replaced to the west, and you didn't provide us any money for that. So, we're not going to provide a
cost estimate. We're going to decline that one. >> Yep. I would agree with that. >> Does that make sense? >> Yeah. >> Yep. >> Yep. Um so then you've got two that are a mile apart on the east side and then the one way up on the north end. Um as we talked
about that one on the north end before, I think we' had a map um of that or looked at that last time. That one's kind of out in the field. Not so much for roads up there. So, >> the one way up on the north end. >> Yep. >> Yeah. There is even a road to it
anymore. >> You can't get to it if you wanted to. >> You can drive to it. >> And which direction >> did they needed to get to one part of the field though or something? Chris wasn't thinking about >> cuz they they plant that line on cuz uh
Kings and Johnson's farm that line. I don't think you can drive that line. >> Sergeant line. Yeah. So far so dead ends of the house that farm. >> Me personally, I don't know if I'm ready. >> Oh yeah, that one. I'm thinking of
different yeah >> butman tip lane on the south side. >> Yeah. with the you know I I the discussion that's been had with some of the land owners I don't know I just don't know how far that's
actually gone at the moment I'm good with not removing any thinking they're not giving us anything >> not giving us anything anyway so >> not for replacements they'll pay for the removal right, >> is what they're asking for. So, and like I said before, their incentive is that they want to get deficient bridges off
the rolls because they have to pay 80% of the inspection costs every two years and you pay 20%. So, and it's can be upwards of a couple thousand dollars a bridge. So, they're interested in getting off the rolls. They don't have to pay that. But, it's also uh just
simply uh you know their their federal rating. Um they're trying to get their deficient bridges taken care of. >> Well, they need to come up with a better solution. >> Yeah. Let's let's leave them and revisit it in two years then. >> I just
not with cuz the problem is we go remove a bridge and then we're going to it's going to not saying that it's passable or it's passable still with a vehicle. We're going to hear about it for a long time. I'm not saying that we got bridges that
we've had to close down. We're probably gonna have more here in the coming years >> just for the fact that's going to be to rel them. Um, but we kind of have to keep these
roadways somewhat passible. But my thing is is if we don't have an an option to replace where some of these we could set a culvert in, I just don't understand that. That's just boggles my mind. Not quite sure what you mean there. It
>> Well, they just want to remove them, right? >> Yep. >> And we could come back in and put a culvert in, but it can only be so >> It just makes no sense. >> They're not going to allow it to be and and that's just simply the the big push that's out there. I've said that before. The governor's been on the radio and
said we're not going to be able to afford to replace all bridges. So, that's >> that's their push is that they just don't ever feel the money is going to be there. So, >> but the thing is to me is is and this is probably legislature issue is why
wouldn't they put in there a reasonable uh replacement even if it's on on the county a reasonable replacement as a culbert we could still do that >> to replace it in the future
>> I'm take I'm talking they pay to remove the bridge we come in and put in a 30-foot culvert They don't give us that option. They won't let us do that. >> Uh, and I'm talking we just do it in the on
the countywise, you know, they remove it, we put the we put a cover back in so it remains passable and still flows water. >> Yeah. I think uh I don't know that we've actually ever seen that in writing that they're not
going to allow you to replace it with a bridge that needs to be inspected in the future. Um >> because the bridge is gone. If they remove it, it's gone. Yep. Then >> say we want to keep it passible. We don't want to put a 20 foot cart in cuz it's it's >> or whatever their specifications are.
>> Yep. Why couldn't we just go put a whatever needs to be in there and done with it? >> Because if it's over 20 foot long, then the federal regulations say it's a bridge and it has to be inspected for
safety standards. That's what the program is about. >> So what happens is if you put one in that's longer than 20 foot again, then what you're doing is you're putting it >> back on the inspection rolls. >> Maintenance goes down dramatically.
the I mean the uh the rating of the structure then is fine but you know they look at it from the longer term perspective again is that okay next generation you're going to have the same problem now you guys have a structure again and it's wore out and nobody can afford it now we're going to do
>> so that's the way they're looking at it I mean the other the just just looking for if if that's what you guys' preference is it's not my decision that's fine but I'm just looking for language to be able to support this because what you want to be able to do is you want to be able to state this in
a certain way where they don't say well heck with Steel County then next time they want money for a bridge we're not I mean you don't want that to enter into their mind so I just want to be careful about how we state this to them so the question becomes on that bridge up north one thing that has been discussed with
that is that if that's a bridge that you know it it dead ends and then it's a prairie trail up in the north side of it um if it becomes basically a landowner convenience to get from one side to the other. There has also been that
discussion of could you say Mr. landowner if you want this bridge we can't afford to replace it it's yours we'll do the paperwork and then you guys are off the hook once it becomes a private bridge then it no longer has to be federally inspected it's theirs. So
you would have to go through the agreement process to gift them the bridge and then probably abandon the road as well. So just wanted to throw that out there too if there's any interest in pursuing that. I >> think that one way up north you could
definitely do that. Abandon it or what he just said. >> What he just said? >> I just don't I mean you got to I just don't know how much they use it. I don't know. That's what we >> It's too small for I mean maybe a rock tractor would be it's just too narrow. I
mean >> they're not taking trucks over nothing. >> No. >> No. You know what I mean? >> Southside leaned in along quick if I think that's a viable option we could look at too if they want to keep that open. We got to have some more
discussion with the land owners there on that. >> Okay. So, what that gives me is that that's in my answer to the DOT is the city's the city, I'm sorry. The county is exploring the uh possibility of being able to turn this bridge over to the land owner. So, they don't want to
remove it at this time. That's the statement that I use. That's how I take care of that one. So, >> so then the the last two on the other side. Um there's you've got three miles in
between County Road 15 and County Road 11. So you've got these two bridges in between those two county roads that have bridges on it. Um, if you keep these two bridges open at this point, I think your chances of ever
getting them to help you with funding to be able to replace either one of these two is pretty much impossible. Um, just simply because your detour route is only a couple miles either direction. So, just to keep that in mind, too. If the
hope is is you keep this bridge and at some point you can find funding to replace it, not with federal or state funding would be my opinion. Um unless for some reason they come into tons of money and they're able to replace a lot of bridges. But if you look at the
statistics for what has been applied for for flex funds, I think they're like four times as much as money that they have. So just just wanted to throw that out there, too. So on those particular ones, um the answer to that is is that you've reconsidered and uh you think
that there is uh enough life left in the bridge to get the traffic across it needs to at this point. So you want to hang on to it for a few more years. Okay. Can do. Sometimes it's creative writing. >> That's the information I was looking for.
everyone the same. So just uh briefly um discussion on uh the 2026 uh project up north for uh replacement of a bridge, removal of a historic bridge and realignment around uh um the Bo Farmstead up in the
northeastern part of the county. Um we've had some different discussions with different ones of you guys about different things on this. I know Richard reached out to the Bose um to consider road realignment south of that farmstead and uh they have a a preferred route
that they would like to go to be able to keep more of that property farmable. So that uh is what we'll be submitting through the DOT to keep this project moving forward. Um the one bridge that is slated for removal is a historic structure. So hopefully uh if we can get
uh um the archeological report that's been in progress for 2 years now, if we can get that uh accepted soon, it'll move the process along where uh we can start uh working on the adoption of that bridge to get that thing out of the way so that uh we can hopefully still get
the new bridge and the road realignment constructed next year. So, just uh wanted to give you a quick update on how that is or isn't moving along and uh see if you had any questions on that project up there. So, the preferred alternative for the uh
um bridge replacement one is a single span bridge. Not all that much different than some of the other bridges that have been built over the channel up there. So, if you're looking more for more specifics, certainly ask away um or contact me
after. >> That was one of the bridges that Steve inspected last week, >> was it? Okay. >> He asked, he text me. He goes, "Are you guys still going to replace that in 2026?" I go, "Yep." Okay. That's all I needed. >> Yep. He's still got to do the process
until it's actually done. So, so any thoughts on that? just struggling along. Okay, that's all I had unless you guys had anything else. >> Appreciate the time. >> Thanks, Mike.
[Music] mountains. >> Oh, you got to leave us with a viable option. I mean, that's just >> Well, one of those bridges on the east side there is really narrow or anything going across
>> like down down in broadland or >> it doesn't go anywhere. >> Well, if you if you look at that, you know what I mean? You got County Road, County Road 10, County Road 15. you can you can get to them. >> Yes. >> And like I said, the the issue is we're
just basically kicking the can down the road until we got to until we got to actually pull these bridges cuz eventually they're going to make them that way where they're going to tell you, well, you got, you know, two weeks to close this bridge. That's happened. Um,
but it's just the way I see something very good. You could, you know, you remove the bridge, put in a structure that can still flow water and you can still make passable, but there's all the red tape with it. Drives me insane. >> Well, my thing is that, you know, I used
to spray a lot over there to try to make this corner off this road to to get through here. You can't make it with a truck. >> It's impossible. >> Impossible. I mean, you maybe could, but everything's getting bigger. >> Yep.
>> So, I mean, if that intersection was better, they would Yeah. >> But people do have to move their equipment around, >> right? >> So, just getting rid of all bridges is never going to work either. Yep.
And and it's just always going to be a a continuous update whether it's a culverts or bridges. It just is. There's a there's a lifespan for everything. So, right. What should we do next here?
the name of the state secretary of state. It's just saying that still county is following the industry standard and protocols for the elections and we're partnering with the state
to have a good election next year. So, is this >> Yeah, just need an approval of it and then uh Brandon will sign it. >> I'll move to approve the Secretary of State safety election memorandum.
>> We'll second that. All in favor? >> I moved. And then with the election, with me being on the election, if nobody I talked to Erica about it, and most counties, if someone is running against the auditor, the auditor kind of steps
back a little bit and lets the deputy auditor um kind of run the election, I'll be there obviously to help CIA, but she will be more hands-on if someone is running against me. If not, then I can just do what I did last time. So,
>> just so you're aware of it. >> I wish the budget quick. >> So, in front of you are the final um >> not the final. We still have to approve it, but this could be the final one if you guys approve it. So, um, it's just everything that we talked about in the
last couple months. Um, the one I think that you guys will look at the most is this one right here. It has the totals that I've made by me and the amounts. Um, we didn't really change any of the amounts because whatever we were
cutting, we put into that courthouse project fund. Um, so that did grow quite a bit. Just because we want to keep those mills kind of at the theme. If >> I have that sheet on the back page one
>> and then on the very back page of those one highlighted it has the breakdown of each mill. So on the very back side it goes. >> I think this is a pretty sto >> I didn't give you paper Chris.
>> Nope. But this was sitting here. So >> So yeah, this one right here is just the breakdown of all the mills. So um exact same mills as last year. So nothing too crazy.
And I don't know if Charlie discussed um there was a few people that went up a few more graves than normal. We discussed that earlier. I don't know if you sent an email to the commissioners. There's a few people that went I know we discussed going up a step and over a
grade. There was a few people that went up two or over two. Um you guys didn't raise any red flags about the amount. So I don't know if you guys are heard. Well, one was Macy. >> Yeah, >> that's probably nice.
>> You have the individual. >> Yeah, that's this one. This is the other one. >> Yeah, but I just need to see the >> Oh, this was the other one. >> Yeah. No, salary on the court. Oh, I get
the rambling sheet >> that 44. So, I mean there is room to move that up to 50. That's what you guys are looking at. We'll just take that capital fund project and move it up to the court. >> I think we should move it up
to the canvas we have. But so this was a salary for this year if she were >> correct. Yes. Just as a salary issue with an application. >> That's right. >> Correct. >> Yes. >> So what I think we should do for the clerical court is bump it.
>> Is this is that one step or where's one step? I'm pulling up. Don't know. I don't know. >> That's her foundation account. Oh broke out. Yeah. I got it.
>> Next. Looks like she asked for two Greg. Two grade >> two steps. >> No, two grades. >> She increased her grade. and >> doesn't look like any steps, but it was two grades on the sheet that I have for you.
>> The steps are the ones that go horizontal. Grades are vertical. >> Yes. >> What else? >> The other one step. >> Yeah, that's that's right. But I think we should um she did call
for two grades. >> Two grades. from the number. >> Yeah. [Music] >> I think that we should um
if so Ben go up a grade from the 2004 2005 >> where would it go >> for next gen from >> grade 11 to grade 11. >> Hold on. Yeah. >> Great. I mean a step. Sorry.
>> Oh, go. >> Excuse me. You just want them straight now. She go up to 103 that put you at 44. >> But if you did a grade that put you at 46, you had two grades that put you at 47.
You're doing two great in a step. That's 48. But what was the 2025 amount? That's what I want. 4.35. >> Are you sure? >> Why is it saying here estimated? >> That's just estimated. That's
>> not [Music] >> because we have someone different in that office. And then >> correct. And then their budget that's actually sad budget that's not >> Yeah. Okay. So >> that's the budget that we estimated when
Satie was in there. >> Where's the 4667? Where's that at on the scale? Hence 46 677. >> What would be 12th grade and TF?
would have been yes 25. So I think we have to have that just what I've been hearing. I think we should probably get that great for next year up to what 47 grade
46 670 or 677. So great don't mean we have to get there but I think we need to have some pushing. >> Yeah. Grade 12 step two if you do 2% like you guys said agreed to last meeting is that 47 611 49 >> 47
>> 61 we need that you also approve a range if you live like too >> well I think we just say that's our max and go process and Charlie's just going to negotiate it down about 30 grand >> yeah
so where was the other So you guys vote on the 47 611, right? And then the other one was >> down. >> There was the only other one that personally did
more than one step. It was Megan in her uh for her assistant. And I don't know I don't know if she started that with anything or 87. >> I believe she sent documentation to the
commissioners, I believe. Did >> Yeah. >> So, I I just want to point that out that you guys need to address that one. Otherwise, all the all of the budget submitted were with this one step. >> Yeah. >> Okay. One step. >> Yeah. >> So, she that that was what I was
concerned concerned about. I was wondering she'd send support information for that. We pay half of that. >> We pay all of that. >> All the support. >> Correct. And then we pay half of it. >> Okay. So, >> yes.
>> You decide whether she deserves a bigger increase than all the other employees. >> It's It's one step though, right? >> Yeah. It's one step. >> Great. >> Yeah. It's a It's a $900 increase.
>> 900. Sorry. 900 increase over what she'd otherwise be getting if it was just a one step. If it was just a one step, she would go to um it's a $500 increase. If she was just going to do one step on the sheet I got
here, it shows the same grade but one step. >> Do you have a sheet? Yeah, I have it as a grade eight and 25. >> This is the sheet, Chris, that Ben provided.
>> Yeah, cuz I'm looking at sheet that you sent me. You said >> the two. >> There you go. [Music] >> So, it depends on what we do for cola. We did 2% 2%
last meeting, remember? You look at hers. >> So, there you see there's where she is and that's what they're proposing is >> nine or whatever. Yeah. Nine and seven.
So, >> it's an additional $500 to what it would normally be from your 107. I don't necessarily >> think she did all her. >> Oh, she was gone. One way or the other. No.
I'll make a motion to approve the 2026 budget with the change for clerical court. I'll second it. >> All in favor? I >> I
motion carried. >> So that um money will just come out of the capital fund project and bump up into that support. Y >> so everything will stay the same just moved into the room. Steve Pasha nominated herself again. So
>> perfect. >> Um she won't she won't be able to go to the meeting. So if anybody else would like to go to the meeting um but she said she would be the delegate but she'll >> Are they both going? I believe Brandon will be gone also. >> I just want to go to the fair, not
>> when is it? >> Uh, November. >> November. >> November 18th is the meeting. Yeah, Burks got surgery in Rhode Island. So, >> so, but she said she would be on it and so I honestly don't know what it all involves. So, she nominated herself. So,
>> just has to be a resident of >> correct. He used to be commissioner and a commissioner's wife and because they had grand so they would actually go out there and spend time do all that stuff and then since that commissioner is no
longer commissioner fast to be off of it that's when we kind of scrambled and Tasha likes that kind of stuff and agreed for that >> probably yeah you should make a motion
to have Tasha as the delegate I'll move to approve Tasha safer delegate. I'll second it. >> All favor. >> I moved. I'm going to exclude myself from that. >> Yep.
>> Motion carried. >> You don't get Does she get paid for it? >> I don't know. >> No, she doesn't. >> You don't need those. >> Are you sure? >> Maybe he didn't want to vote for It's good. It's good practice. Good practice. Conflict interest theory.
>> It's really unless you're seeing money from it. You don't can't really exclude yourself. Just listen to that meeting then. >> Thanks for the help.
bill. >> That's a thank you note. Um, we got a thank you note for buying premiums for the 4. We do $500 each year for council. So there's their thank you note.
This I don't this is stuff that starts in >> you want to be >> I mean yeah I don't know if anybody cares but this is >> the what
stuff >> you want hang on one Oh, >> VSO update. That's our last thing, huh? >> 10, >> huh? >> Five, right?
>> Doesn't matter. >> Do those. >> Let's make a five. >> Yeah. I'll make a motion. Second. All in favor? >> All right. All right. >> It's nice and warm in here. >> Kids aren't going to be your couple.
That was yesterday. Huh? >> What happens this morning at home? >> What? My daughter has a volleyball game. >> Those are

spare 3 hours to spare so >> no it changed the time in the game and so basically was free I basically walked in and I started >> so by sat down stop sweating from driving all
boom that we're already driving. So I was open tomorrow. >> Oh my goodness. >> Well, I'm not crazy. >> We go to Parker third day. So I mean >> I don't know why you decided to do two
back to back. >> Well, that for we went down to Lisbon for high football. >> Yeah. >> Last week. >> Yeah. >> My wife having two hours to Lisbon to watch him play for 10 minutes and then come back. You have to you have to do

there. >> Comfortable because she's like, well, I I go to JB. So, she's like, well, you're going to be there anyway from JB, so >> our child for us, please. Yes. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. take nerves too cuz it just it's gets to be Oh, wait. You have more than
one kid. So during basketball season, not about does me because I'm a boy and a girl for a while. I had >> a varsity boy, a varsity girl, and a junior high boy. That was Oh my gosh. I
sat in the stands from 4:00 till 10:00, you know, watching those games. So yeah, it is >> they're fun years, but they're busy busy. Yeah, once I got into it, understood the thing like the volleyball. I kind of got addicted to volleyball,
>> but I understood my folks coming every Saturday for us and we'd be here by 6:00 in the morning till 9. So, >> yes, >> I understood at that point where sometimes they didn't take it, >> right? Yes. Yes. >> And like my parents hardly ever came to
my name. I mean they just it was one of the thing that parents did as much but honestly they couldn't afford to try >> that much for all the money. However, I remember Trish telling me like cost
[Music] >> you definitely seem better. Yeah. There's a lot of journal with wind damage and frost. Yeah.
>> So hopefully the corn's a little bit more positive than >> going to be the bill paying I think. You guys follow out to the older girl. [Music] Turn ready.
Yeah. So, do we have a fund for it? >> Yeah, we do. >> How much should we set there? >> 100,000 >> and it's >> we got a new server this year and
Ben follows that we're looking for he is more in contact with with Travis and knows all the extra works. I don't know. >> Yeah. Wasn't one of them like $70,000? >> Yeah. >> I think 77 >> and we did all that wiring. So
>> then like this is this every month. So it is >> and I know Yeah. It's not every month. every time. >> That's what it costs every single time they mow. >> Yeah, it should be broke. There should
be linguists behind it. So, I know there was discussion about having it open for bids next year. >> We should probably end recess, too. >> Or call it, >> but 9:32 they do the back fertilizing and
everything else, too. >> Yeah. Yeah. So, I mean, I thought they did a bunch of edging work last month, but I know it was discussed too next year opening up the lawn care open up for bids. >> Yep. >> Well, it looks like it's broke out by each time they mow. It's three bucks.
>> And it Yeah. Like, and I said it varies depending on what they do. Sometimes they edge, sometimes they blow, sometimes they they're not here very long. us. I not how are you fine? Good. >> Well, Dennis, what do you got for us for
an update? >> Well, things are going good and I'm happy. >> Yep. Jan just asked me to come in if I would and then give me a subdate to talk. >> Nope, just an update. >> Okay. Uh
October of this year is my 29th year on this job. Longest serving veteran service officer in North Dakota now. >> Well, thank you. >> But uh I have no plans to quit this job now.
However, reality is I'm probably closer to the end than the beginning. Well, Charlie and I talked about that when I took the job and I told him that I would leave you guys hanging when the day comes that we would talk about in advance
some good ideas on how to smoothly make sure that county's well represented. So, I would do that. Um >> Myron continues to manage the the highly
rural transportation uh part of it. >> Yeah. >> And he's doing well. Every subscri [Music] depending on how many people they're transporting and where they're transporting. So I believe there's three active ones
right now. So Chris for your bet that maybe indulge me and enjoy know but we're steel is considered a highly rural county and as a result then the the uh department of veterans eventually right >> yeah it's a federal program that's
administered through the North Dakota Department of Veterans Affairs >> right and then so that pays for the vans and the people drive and the gas and it transports veterans to from Steel County to who wherever they need to go for medical services.
>> Okay. >> And administration part of it pays for that too. >> And the old county, lack of better terminology handles the administration parts for Grace, all of that the
transportation that it's all ministered through Steel County. Grace County comes along for a ride for it's all done through Janice's office without my >> I don't know what would happen in the program without my feel the most
important person there is. That's not an exaggeration. >> Yeah, there's quite a few veterans that rely on that transportation. >> At one point he was driving down to uh Mayo, I believe. Sophie was bringing someone all the way down there for treatments.
>> Oh wow. >> So he put and he would go there and back same day. He'd leave here at way early and then sit around until patient was done and then dive back. So >> last time they had to be in Fargo at
6:00 a.m. and be up at 4, whatever it took to do that. You're not going to find another person who's going to do that again. Maybe once in a while, but he will do that every day if that's necessary. >> I don't know. I know right now it's a little bit slow. There's just not as many veterans using the service I believe. So
>> yeah, the two of the main users passed away. >> Yeah. >> But anyway, that it's good Charlie to bring that up for an update. And as long as I don't have anything to do with that, that's fine. I farm full-time and I had to administer that program. I just
have to resign. I just don't have time to I don't have the inclination to do it either. And I don't want to, >> you know. >> Well, I'll talk I'll talk to my next time I see him and see what his long-term plans are. You know,
>> I mean, it'd be harder to replace my at that than it would be maybe me at my job. how many uh Steel County has according to the VA and they know where the veterans are and it's declining rapidly.
There's 115 veterans in Steel County. When I got the job 29 years ago there was like 250. >> Wow. >> But also it isn't just the veterans. It's their families that are served through this too. you know the spouses,
dependence of veterans and ch children their ch children which are less now because the veterans are older. So that one time was probably almost 1/4 of all the people in Still County. You would had 2500 population then go to 250 beds add their dependence what it it was a
lot. Well now it's 115 vets I can see where I look at my vet you know 10 years will be under 100. The need for a veteran service officer still there by law all counties have to have a veteran service officer access to
one. Uh yeah, a lot of count rural counties are they're combining, but invariably you get swallowed up by a bigger county, it's never good for the small counties. Kind of like the sheriff said, if you
could just the reality is small counties are small counties and they're not going to grow back to big counties, but you just keep the stuff you got, you know, is probably a good goal. you know, that's like one of the best pieces of advice I think I've seen. You know, just
just try to maintain the stuff you got, you know, >> so and that could be done. Two light counties like Griggs and Steel could and and and a hybrid of that would work like Trail is much bigger than Steel. I don't
know. And Trails had their own issues with keeping veteran service officers, too. So, there's not a continuity like there has been. all you know all all that I can't say anything much with certainties yet Charlie said you haven't done some
trails so maybe looks differently about that you have been concerned obser now the other thing I was going to bring up in conjunction with this is that uh there's so that the northeast central judicial district which is grandson and
Nelson counties they've had a veterans treatment or several years now. The East Central, which is us, Spargo uh I'm sorry, Cass Trail is implementing a vet court. And what
that does is it allows for veterans who get into criminal if they qualify. There's certain criteria that they have to meet like credited violence and some other things um not allowed into the program. I'd say 90% of
the criminal statutes are covered under it. And we now we just had a a veteran last week get sentenced to veterans treatment court um up in Grand Forest County because the NHC is
up there too. our east central one which includes Trail Steel and CAS is into play then we'll have a direct option for our our veterans who get up all by and that
involves whe they need chemical dependency treatment, mental emotional evaluations and treatment and so on to kind of get to the core of of why or what why things are happening and and
what what resources they need to to give back to the general community. So that's a good deal, too. >> Well, let's hope there's not a lot of need for that in Steel County. You can have just behave behave
>> and that just an example like bigger county swallow smaller counties and it don't work out. She's not there anymore, but the veteran service officer of Barney County, she wanted to put
together like a really old county and so she really wanted some steel county and she was like, "Well, when are you going to quit? When are you going to quit? When are you going to quit?" And she got Lamore County then Barnes County and then she quit. She went and got a job in
Tennessee. So what if she would have had Greg's deal with Le and she would go and put all then what would have happened? I don't know what agreement the county commissioners would have had with them. I don't count I Yeah, I have no idea. But then, you know, things like that happened too,
you know, but and I don't know if you guys would have done that or not, but I was never interested in that anyway, but she would put together a thing like that. Well, get involved in something like that. That that's just an example of like, well, you can't predict the future either, but you can just maintain what
you got to be good. Although I'm not at that point now, but I would talk to Charity in advance, you know. Sounds good. Yeah. Uh and then just some personal things that um
employees you have this this in all the years I've been here, this is the best work environment I've ever seen at this courthouse. Cooperation with all the staff, all the staff, every office is outstanding. just it's yeah got I'm not going to say
through the years there wasn't really really good employees who knew their jobs cuz they're always but overall every last staff person I run into here is just extremely cooperative helpful willing to help knows their job and uh
delight to come to work I've had a lot of hard jobs in my life I worked in coal mines worked in oil fields and and I was always in combat units no matter what where I was in the military as long as you got along with your co-workers didn't make any difference. All hard the jobs where you go and that's the way
this my job isn't that hard here but just fun coming to work. You got a road superintendent that they just go chairman of township. He cares about the townships. Yeah. Just off the subject a little bit but I'm the
chairman of my township. That's the first town I've seen a road superintendent. Yeah. responsibility is probably to the county, but yet he really cares about the townships. He really does. And it's evident, you know, just talk to him. You're not secondary to him. Sure, he
has a responsibility to the county, but you're townships are not secondary to just evident how much he and and Bruce who does our township road, he's the most responsive person I've ever met in the road department. If I send him an
email, if it Sunday night for he'll call, he'll he'll message me immediately. I I'll do something for Monday morning, you know, maybe Sunday night cuz then I'll remember otherwise odds me or forget me or get hired. But he'll mess me up and tomorrow morning
I'm on the job. You know, he is so responsive. It's unbelievable. And it's it's through all your employees. It's up and down just that. I just wanted to share that with you guys. Thank you, Dennis. Appreciate that. >> So, that's that's off my veteran service
officer. So, but top to bottom, all your employees that way. I walk into that auditor's office and just smile or any other office here. I walk into the courthouse, people are smiling at me, you know, Ben left out here. He's an asset to this county that I'm that
position when you got him and just change the kind of pressure off other people what they don't have to do anymore. And they know it's getting done by Benny. Yeah. >> So, that's what I wanted to say.
>> Charlie, so 26 will be 30 years. >> Yes. This year, October 4th was uh the day that Dave Washburn uh he appointed me as veteran service officer. Really, you disappoint so many days. They didn't even have to go through a hiring
