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.

OUR CONSENT AGENDA COVERS THE MINUTES OF OUR LAST MEETING.

UH, LOOK FOR A MOTION AND A SECOND.

SO MOVED.

SUPERVISOR SICE, SUPERVISOR BOSEK.

ANY QUESTIONS OR DISCUSSION? THERE BEING NONE AND ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE.

AYE.

ANY OPPOSED? OKAY.

OUR FIRST DISCUSSION OR POSSIBLE ACTION ITEM IS, UH, A 2023 RESOLUTION FOR THE GENERAL FUND TRANSFER FOR EMERGENCY SERVICES AND FIRE GRANTS FROM ARPA FUNDING MOTION BY SUPERVISOR CHADRON.

SECOND BY SUPERVISOR TIES.

ANY DISCUSSION, UH,

[a. 2023 Resolution: General Fund Transfer for Emergency Services (EMS) & Fire Grants to Replace Allocated American Rescue Plan Act ARPA Funding]

SO, UH, THERE'S BEEN SOME, UH, CONFUSION COMMUNICATED TO THE PUBLIC, UM, BY A PUBLIC FIGURE, UH, REGARDING WHAT IS ALL ENTAILED IN THIS FIRE AND EMS STUDY.

SO TO BE CLEAR, IT IS NOTHING WITH DISPATCHING.

DISPATCHING IS A LAW ENFORCEMENT FUNCTION.

FIRE AND EMS IS STRICTLY AMBULANCE PARAMEDIC, FIRE TRUCK AND FIREFIGHTER.

THAT'S ALL THAT THIS IS ABOUT.

THIS IS NOT ABOUT DISPATCH.

SO I WANT TO CLEAR THAT UP FOR THE RECORD AND I MAY DO THAT DURING THE FULL COUNTY BOARD MEETING AS WELL TONIGHT.

THAT'S A GOOD CLARIFICATION.

ANYONE ELSE WISH TO SPEAK? I'M GOOD.

OKAY.

UM, I MEAN, I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS IF YOU'VE GOT ANY.

UM, UH, THIS ONE IS SPECIFIC TO THE GRANT AND NOT THE STUDY, BUT IT'S, IT IS EMS RELATED.

SO I JUST CAME FROM A MEETING UPSTAIRS WHERE THE, THE TASK FORCE PRINCIPLES ARE TALKING ABOUT IT, SO.

SURE.

UM, AND IT WAS A REALLY GOOD DISCUSSION GOING ON, SO I'M CONFIDENT WE'RE GONNA GET SOMEWHERE WITH THIS.

I, I GUESS I DO HAVE ONE QUICK QUESTION.

SURE.

YES SIR.

OBVIOUSLY THIS IS GOING OUT TO THE FIRE DEPARTMENTS, RIGHT? DO WE KNOW HOW IT'S ALLOCATED YET? OR IS THAT TO BE DETERMINED? UM, WE'VE, WE'VE GOT A DRAFT OF A FORMULA, UM, FOR THE ALLOCATION.

UM, BUT IT, IT'S GOTTA GO THROUGH THE, THE APPROVAL PRO OR THE, THE, WE WANT TO PUT IT IN FRONT OF A COMMITTEE, UM, FIRST.

SO WE DO HAVE A, A FORMULA THAT WE HAVE SET UP FOR THE THING.

UM, BUT AGAIN, WE WANT TO KINDA WALK IT THROUGH THE COMMITTEE PROCESS.

DO YOU KNOW ABOUT WHEN THAT WOULD BE READY FOR? I, I'M THINKING NEXT MONTH.

I'M THINKING ITS VERY, VERY SOON.

OKAY.

AND THE, THE ELECTED OFFICIALS OF THE COUNTY HAVE SEEN ALL THIS.

IT'S ALREADY BEEN DISCUSSED, SO CORRECT.

OKAY.

THEY SAW THE, UH, A DRAFT.

YEAH, I DON'T THINK IT FALLS TO US TO DECIDE.

I THINK THAT'S KIND OF BEEN .

NO, I WAS JUST CURIOUS.

JUST SO IF I GO TO MY TOWNSHIPS, I CAN SAY, HEY, WE'RE GETTING, YOU KNOW, THIS MUCH OR TOWN CHAIRMAN IS ALREADY AWARE.

GOTCHA.

UH, WHICH COMMITTEE IS THAT GONNA GO THROUGH? EXECUTIVE OR PUBLIC SAFETY OR ANOTHER OR THAT DECIDE? UM, I, I, WE HAVEN'T FULLY DECIDED ON IT YET.

IT, I, IT COULD BE ONE OF EITHER OF THOSE TWO.

UM, RIGHT.

OR BOTH I GUESS.

I, I DON'T KNOW YET.

THANK YOU.

SURE.

THIS, ONCE WE HIRE, UM, THE CABINET POSITION, WHICH IT'S GONNA OVERSEE YOUR COMMITTEE, THAT'S WHO'S GONNA BE OVER AT ALL.

SO THAT'S A GOOD INDICATION OF WHERE IT'S GONNA END UP.

YEAH.

EITHER THERE OR EXECUTIVE.

YEAH.

SO.

OKAY.

ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? I ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE.

AYE.

AYE.

ANY OPPOSED? OKAY.

YOU WANNA PRESENT A LITTLE BIT? SURE.

UM,

[b. 2023 Resolution: Amend 2024-2029 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) – County Attorney and County Board Office Relocation]

UM, AND KARA IS CERTAINLY HERE TO, TO SPEAK.

UH, SHE CAN SPEAK ABOUT THE BUDGET AND THEN BOTH KARA AND BRAD CAN SPEAK ABOUT, YOU KNOW, THE, THE NEED, THE NEEDS FOR THE MOVE AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

BUT JUST GENERALLY SPEAKING, YOU KNOW, THAT BUDGET IS BETWEEN A HUNDRED AND $150,000 DEPENDING ON

[00:05:01]

UM, AND SO A PROJECT WAS IDENTIFIED THAT FINISHED UNDER BUDGET.

UM, AND SO THERE'S SOME FUNDS AVAILABLE WITHIN THE CIP NOW, SO WE'RE NOT ASKING FOR A GENERAL FUND TRANSFER OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

IT'S, IT'S, UM, JUST DOLLARS THAT ARE SITTING UNSPENT IN THE CIP AT THE CIP FUND AT THIS POINT.

SO, UM, WE WOULD BE ASKING FOR AN AMOUNT UP TO THE ONE 50, BUT OBVIOUSLY IF THE TOTAL COMES IN LESS, UH, WE WOULD SPEND LESS DISCUSSION.

THIS THING'S BEEN HASHED OVER MANY TIMES ALREADY.

VERY CLEAR.

YEAH.

MM-HMM, AND I WILL SAY THAT, UH, BECAUSE IT FALLS WITHIN THE BUDGET, WE HAD MONEY LEFT OVER, WE COULD HAVE JUST APPROVED THIS IN THIS COMMITTEE, BUT IN TALKING WITH, UH, ATTORNEY STERN, WE AGREED IT'S BEST TO RUN IT THROUGH THE WHOLE COUNTY BOARD.

GOTCHA.

SO IT'S VERY TRANSPARENT.

MM-HMM.

.

OKAY.

SO ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE.

AYE.

AYE.

ANY OPPOSED? OKAY.
