13:5813 minutes, 58 secondsOkay. Question for the way health safety and properties committee. That's me.
14:0614 minutes, 6 secondsIt was a very abbreviated meeting. I don't think it lasted seven minutes, but some of the more chatty members of the public safety realms weren't in the
14:1514 minutes, 15 secondsroom. Uh, but we do have a little bit of business. You had you had should have been in front of you when you sat down.
14:2314 minutes, 23 secondsWell, what's happening is department heads and the elected officials have been doing a lot of spring cleaning over the past couple of weeks and this didn't
14:3214 minutes, 32 secondsquite make the deadline to get it into the package when the packet was emailed out to us.
14:3914 minutes, 39 secondsI hope you've had a chance to look at it.
14:4214 minutes, 42 secondsIt's uh there's no real value on it, but most of
14:4914 minutes, 49 secondsit's got numbers on it and the rest of it needs a vote from this body to authorize the department heads and elected officials to sell it.
14:5914 minutes, 59 secondsThe on the second page, there's three things they want to accomplish with
15:0415 minutes, 4 secondsthis. So, I'm making a motion that uh
15:1115 minutes, 11 secondspublic safety authorized them to do this and the county commission declare the items listed above as surplus property.
15:2215 minutes, 22 secondsAuthorize the sale of said items be a gov deals to the highest bidder and number three of the motion. Authorize
15:2915 minutes, 29 secondsthe disposal of any items that do not receive a bid. That's a motion. Okay. Commissioner Clark has made a motion.

16:1216 minutes, 12 secondsUh, Mr. Chairman, I guess this would Dusty just did the solid waste. Um,
16:1816 minutes, 18 secondssolid waste is at 5 5:00 on a week from today.
16:2516 minutes, 25 secondsDo do you think solid waste can fit in an hour this?
16:3016 minutes, 30 secondsYeah. Being the first month we won't have that many reports. George's here, right? you back.
16:3716 minutes, 37 secondsBut but first there I uh being being so early in the month we can go through the reports in a hurry. I think we make it in and out.
16:4616 minutes, 46 secondsI was going to offer to invert my meeting and your meeting so that if it if it were to take longer.
16:5316 minutes, 53 secondsWhat do you think Jordan?
16:5616 minutes, 56 secondsThumbs up. We do it an hour with solid waste at 5:00 6:00.
17:0717 minutes, 7 secondsMy meeting starts at 6 after that. So the solid waste will only have an hour.
17:1117 minutes, 11 secondsMy question is, do you do you think solid waste will fit in that hour? Cuz I know public safety can be made fit in
17:1817 minutes, 18 secondsthe hour. I I was going to swap meeting times with you to to give solid waste more time. I think that's smart.
17:2617 minutes, 26 secondsWhat? Okay. We'll be at six. Hey, he hasn't been called that today.

24:0024 minutesAll in favor say I.
24:0624 minutes, 6 secondsUh the the calendar um you have in front of you and there's been already a few things that have been
24:1424 minutes, 14 secondsmentioned. uh swapping the time on uh the health safety and properties. You just need to make sure that all the
24:2224 minutes, 22 secondsdepartment sheriff he was here. He still is here and make sure Pete's here and EMS and
24:3024 minutes, 30 secondsstuff like that they get the word they get to be here a little bit earlier go home a little bit earlier I guess. So M Christian you'll take care of all that.
24:3924 minutes, 39 secondsMr. Chair.
24:4024 minutes, 40 secondsYes. Uh, one other thing that I we had discussed was that on the 18th uh uh public hearing, we're going to move that to the 19th.
24:4824 minutes, 48 secondsOh, yeah. That's right. Same time. That's right. Yep. Yep. Christie, you know, you know. Okay.
24:5724 minutes, 57 secondsUh, any other uh discussion on the the meeting calendar?
25:0425 minutes, 4 secondsOkay.
25:0825 minutes, 8 secondsUh, is there any unfinished business that you know of?
25:1725 minutes, 17 secondsVery none. Moving on to new business.
25:1925 minutes, 19 secondsThere are uh three resolutions that are mentioned in new business 2614, 2615, and 2616.
25:2825 minutes, 28 secondsU all of all three of those coming out of the planning commission. Uh this is the first hearing. No action is taken by
25:3725 minutes, 37 secondsuh the legislative body tonight on those that will be in during the main meeting.
25:4225 minutes, 42 secondsUh but we are free to discuss if anybody wishes to choose choose so now ch.
25:5325 minutes, 53 secondsYes. Um, I think I I'd mentioned something to you about the uh 2614 uh as a possibility to change some of
26:0226 minutes, 2 secondsthe wording because I think it's maybe a little uh open now. Whereas, if somebody
26:0926 minutes, 9 secondswas to bring a request to reszone a piece of property,
26:1426 minutes, 14 secondshypothetically, if it was R2 and maybe it failed in R2, but then they wanted it to go from a from A1 to R2, then but
26:2326 minutes, 23 secondsthey would have to wait a year even if they just wanted to go to R1. So, um possibly look at um some some wording on
26:3126 minutes, 31 secondsthat. So just just a thought that I haven't come up with the wording yet, but okay.
26:3526 minutes, 35 secondsUh there may be some more discussion in the night that we approve that for that. Okay, that's on 2614.
26:4626 minutes, 46 secondsWhat are the benefits of extending out the time?
26:5026 minutes, 50 secondsUh it's it's establishes a cooling off period. Um is what is what it does is that the U and I'll tell you what,
26:5826 minutes, 58 secondsAustin's here. He can direct the planes on. He probably can speak a little bit better. There's no objection.
27:0527 minutes, 5 secondsUm, so what it does is it stops somebody if they get denied to go to that from A1 to R2. They can't
27:1427 minutes, 14 secondsimmediately after it got turned down have it run right back through the system because
27:2227 minutes, 22 secondsif nothing has changed about any of the parameters around that property,
27:2927 minutes, 29 secondsthere's no reason for it to have to go back for the planning commission or go back before
27:3627 minutes, 36 secondsy'all because if you voted no and there's been nothing about the situation has changed at all.
27:4627 minutes, 46 secondsIt's a lot of ways a waste of time and it just keeps us from having to
27:5527 minutes, 55 secondssee repeat resilience that have been turned down.
28:0328 minutes, 3 secondsM it it's my interest in it was more the the people that lived around the the resoning that did not want the resoning
28:1128 minutes, 11 secondscame in and spoke about it and they have to stay on top of it and keep coming in month after month after month for the
28:1928 minutes, 19 secondssame thing that's already been turned down like if they let up for a minute it might slide through and that's the
28:2628 minutes, 26 secondspeople I heard from on it have to come down there every month to speak against this because they're doing the same thing again and was an oversight on what
28:3528 minutes, 35 secondsMr. Geon brought up, but I think the the intent was if it's denied that
28:4328 minutes, 43 secondsthe if if they ask for one and then come back and ask for a different one, they haven't been denied. So, we we can clean, but that needs to be more clear.
28:5228 minutes, 52 secondsYou're you're right. It needs to be more clear, but I think the county attorney could probably help us with that.
29:0029 minutesAny more discussion?
29:1129 minutes, 11 secondsOkay,
29:1229 minutes, 12 secondsthat's 264. I mean there we can discuss any of the resolutions uh or is there any other new business uh that chair is aware of?
29:2629 minutes, 26 secondsOkay.
29:2829 minutes, 28 secondsAre there any announcements or statements?
29:3629 minutes, 36 secondsWell, I know we've seen a lot of each other this month and we could still hang around here if y'all like.
29:4329 minutes, 43 secondsMotion to adjurnn. Motion to adjourn by Commissioner Mayberry in a second. But we are ajourned. Thank you.
29:5529 minutes, 55 secondsIt's always nice.
