[00:00:07]
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.
OKAY, EVERYBODY'S HERE AND WELCOME NEW MEMBERS.
AND, UH, FIRST THING ON THE, UH, AGENDA IS THE CONSENT AGENDA.
DID EVERYBODY LOOK AT THE MINUTES? AND DOES EVERYBODY OR ANYBODY HAVE ANY CHANGES OR ANY PROBLEMS WITH THEM? NO.
WE'LL BE APPROVED AS, UH, AS WRITTEN.
NEXT, UH, ITEM IS THE ELECTION OF VICE CHAIRPERSON.
IS THERE ANYBODY WHO WISHES TO NOMINATE THEMSELVES FOR VICE CHAIR I'D LIKE TO NOMINATE, UH, SUPERVISOR HARTWIG.
[a. Election of Vice-Chairperson]
SEEING NOBODY ELSE ARE, ARE YOU ACCEPTING THE NOMINATION? SURE.SEE NO OTHER NOMINATIONS, I GUESS.
UH, WE DON'T NEED THE BALLOTS THEN, RIGHT? UH, I'LL JUST DO A MOTION IN A SECOND AND RAISE YOUR HAND AS WELL.
WE'LL MAKE A MOTION IN A SECOND FOR YOU.
WANNA MOVE TO YOUR RIGHT? SURE.
ITEM B, MINOR GRANT TO FUND FOR LAKE AND EASEMENT FOR THE RELOCATION OF POLK SPRINGS.
DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING? OH, I'M SORRY.
I GUESS I WON'T SAY TOO MUCH ON IT.
I KNOW I'VE BEEN, I'M PROBABLY PAUL BACKUS.
[b. Minor Grant to Fund for Lake and Easement for the Relocation of Polk Springs Associated with the Highway P Construction]
A TECHNICIAN IN THE LAND RESOURCES DIVISION AND NATURAL RESOURCES DEPARTMENT.I'VE BEEN, WE STEEP IN THIS PROJECT NOW FOR A COUPLE MONTHS.
I KNOW I PUT SOMETHING IN YOUR AGENDA PACKET WITH SOME MAPS AND A DESCRIPTION OF IT.
CHAIRMAN PAUL, I'M JUST CURIOUS, YOU CAN SEE KIND OF WHERE THE CRICK WENT YEARS AGO ACROSS THAT FIELD.
DO WE HAVE AN IDEA WHEN IT CHANGED? UH, SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 1937 AND 1941.
'CAUSE WE HAVE AIR PHOTO OF A 37 AND A 41 AND BACK IN 37 YOU COULD SEE IT GOING ACROSS THE FIELD.
AND 41, IT MOVED ALONG THE FENCE LINES.
I, I KNOW I'M ALWAYS KIND OF PERSONALLY SURPRISED AT WHAT PEOPLE IN THE THIRTIES AND FORTIES GOT ACCOMPLISHED AND IT'S KIND OF IMPRESSIVE IN ITS OWN WAY.
YOU MEAN WHAT THEY COULD GET AWAY WITH
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? I JUST HAVE ONE QUESTION.
UM, WHEN IS THE PROJECT GONNA BE COMPLETED? UM, WE'RE ACTUALLY LOOKING AT STARTING VERY SOON AND WE'RE HOPING TO HAVE THIS ALL KIND OF MOVING ALONG AT A VERY SIMILAR TIMELINE AS THE COUNTY HIGHWAY P RECONSTRUCTION.
SO I'D ANTICIPATE THAT THE PROJECT WILL BE COMPLETED PROBABLY LATE SUMMER, EARLY FALL WITH KIND OF ALL THE, ALL THE GRASS PLANTED LANDSCAPING COMPLETED AND KIND OF TIE IN TYING IN THE STREAM ALL AROUND THE SAME TIME AS WHEN THE, UH, KIND OF THE WORLD'S ROADS WHITENING AND WIDENED AND ALL THE WORK'S BEING COMPLETED.
I WAS JUST WONDERING, I HAD A LOT OF PEOPLE ASKING ME WHEN IT'S GOING TO BE COMPLETED BECAUSE WHY ARE YOU DOING P AND HIGHWAY 60? EVERYTHING AT ONE TIME.
'CAUSE PEOPLE GET NERVOUS GOING TO WORK IN THE MORNING, BUT JUST QUESTIONS I THINK.
WE ORIGINALLY DIDN'T WANT TO DO OUR COUNTY HIGHWAY PROJECT IN THE SAME YEAR AS THE DOT'S HIGHWAY 60 PROJECT, BUT THE FUNDING THAT WAS TIED TO OUR PROJECT, THEY FORCED US ESSENTIALLY WITH THE FUNDING TO DO IT THIS YEAR.
EVEN THOUGH WE, WE'VE VERY OPENLY SAID, HEY, THERE'S GONNA BE A CONFLICT AND THERE'S GONNA BE A LOT OF CITIZENS THAT ARE GONNA BE FRUSTRATED WITH ALL THIS GOING ON IN THE JACKSON AREA.
SO NOW I HAVE A GOOD ANSWER THAT WAS NOT ON US ANSWER TO GIVE TO PEOPLE.
AND I'VE DRIVEN THROUGH JACKSON AND I SECOND THAT.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? NO, FOR ME.
WE'LL MOVE ON TO FACILITIES QUARTERLY REPORT.
UM, I'M THE FACILITIES MANAGER FOR WASHINGTON COUNTY.
AND, UM, OUR, UH, OUR GOALS, UM, UH, HAVE
[c. Facilities Quarterly Report]
OVER THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS HAVE CENTERED AROUND[00:05:01]
TWO, UH, SEPARATE, UH, PRINCIPLES WITHIN OUR DEPARTMENT.UM, PRIMARILY, UH, CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIP AS WELL AS THE, UH, INFRASTRUCTURE OF OUR BUILDINGS.
UM, IN THE LAST COUPLE YEARS, WE HAVE COMPLETED FOUR OF OUR GOALS.
UM, YOU'LL SEE THEM HIGHLIGHTED IN YELLOW ON YOUR REPORT.
UM, SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHTS FROM, UH, THE COMPLETION OF THOSE GOALS, UM, INCLUDE THAT WE'VE GOT AN ESTABLISHED KPI, UM, THAT WE REPORT ON, UH, WITH REGARDS TO NEW AND COMPLETED WORK ORDERS.
UM, WE, UH, INITIATED A CUSTOMER SATISFACTION SURVEY LAST YEAR AND, UM, AND WE'VE, UH, CONDUCTED IT THREE TIMES WITH AN AVERAGE SCORE OF 4.2, FIVE OUT OF FIVE.
UM, WE COMPLETED A OF, OF, UH, INVENTORY OF OUR ASSETS, PRIMARILY OUR MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT, ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT, ET CETERA.
UM, AND UPDATED OUR, UH, OUR SYSTEMS. UM, AND WE REVIEWED ALL OF OUR PREVENTATIVE, PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE SCHEDULES, WHICH HAD BEEN DEVELOPED BY, UH, JOHNSON CONTROLS BACK IN AROUND TWO, UH, AROUND 2010.
UM, AND WE WENT THROUGH THOSE SCHEDULES AND WE REVIEWED AND UPDATED, UH, REMOVED, UH, A A LARGE NUMBER OF, OF NON IN NON, UH, BASICALLY JUST LIKE KEEP BUSY TYPES OF WORK ORDERS AND, UM, AND THEN ADDED SOME WORK ORDERS THAT WE FELT WERE IMPORTANT FOR OTHER PIECES OF EQUIPMENT.
UM, THE NEXT STEPS WE'VE ADDED, UH, SOME GOALS, UH, TO DO INCLUDE, UH, DOCUMENTATION AROUND OUR STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES.
UM, AGAIN, UH, UH, DOCUMENTS THAT HAVEN'T BEEN UPDATED SINCE THE JOHNSON CONTROLS, UH, TIME, UH, UH, 15 YEARS OR SO AGO.
SO WE'RE GOING THROUGH, UH, OUR MOST CRITICAL, UH, PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE, UM, TASKS AND MAKING SURE THAT WE HAVE DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO PERFORM THOSE PMS. UM, WE ARE, UH, WORKING TOWARDS FORMALIZING VARIOUS COMMUNICATIONS WITH OUR CUSTOMERS, UM, AS IT RELATES TO, UM, THINGS THAT ARE HAPPENING ON AN EMERGENCY BASIS, ON A PROJECT BASIS, UM, AS A, AND ALSO WITH REGARDS TO A ONE-ON-ONE BASIS, UM, AS NEEDED.
UM, AND WE'RE CONTINUING TO WORK ON OUR MASTER PLAN, INCLUDING, UM, INCLUDING, UH, SPACE PLANNING, UH, WITH AN ARCHITECT, UH, THAT WE'VE RECENTLY HIRED.
UM, I THINK ALL OF YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH THAT 'CAUSE YOU, UH, WE PRESENTED AT THE, UH, COUNTY BOARD MEETING.
UM, AND IN ADDITION TO THAT, WE'RE, UH, WE'RE CONTINUING TO WORK WITH, UH, MANAGING OUR ASSET REPLACEMENTS, UM, BASED OFF OF PREDICTIVE AS WELL AS AGE REQUIREMENTS.
SO, UM, SO THOSE ARE SOME THINGS THAT WE'RE CONTINUING TO WORK ON IN OUR GOALS FOR US GOING FORWARD.
UM, I AM, UH, ABLE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE.
I JUST, I JUST, JUST AN OBSERVATION ON MY PART.
UM, ON THE, THERE'S A COUPLE OF DUE DATES THAT ARE PAST DUE.
SO, UM, SO THERE'S ONE THAT HAD AN ERROR THAT WAS RIGHT OFF THE BAT WHEN I ENTERED IT.
UM, AND THAT WAS THE ONE, UM, IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE, UM, 2024 AND IT WAS ENTERED IN ERROR AND YOU CAN'T FIX IT IN THE SYSTEM.
UM, SO SORRY, I DIDN'T NOTE THAT BEFORE.
I THINK, UM, I'VE TALKED ABOUT THAT AT OTHER MEETINGS BEFORE.
THERE'S A, THERE'S A SECOND ONE DOWN IN ON THAT LAST PAGE TOO.
SO, UM, THAT'S ONE THAT I'VE ADDED TASKS TO OR ADDED GOALS TO, UM, INTO THAT SAME GOAL.
SO IT'S CONTINUING ON, UM, SYSTEM-WISE, I HAVE NOT, UM, I HAVE NOT ADDRESSED HOW TO, HOW TO UPDATE THAT.
MAYBE YOU CAN TALK TO THE IT GUY WHO'S NEXT?
ANYTHING ELSE? GUYS? SEE NOTHING ELSE.
NEXT ON THE LIST IS THE, UH, INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY QUARTERLY REPORT.
I'M THE DIRECTOR OF IT HERE AT WASHINGTON
[d. Information Technology Quarterly Report]
COUNTY.UM, I KNOW I'M NEW TO THE, UH, COMMITTEE HERE IN PUBLIC WORKS, SO IT FEELS GOOD TO BE HERE.
UH, JUST TO KIND OF RECAP SOME OF THE, AT A HIGH LEVEL, SOME OF OUR INITIATIVES IN IT, UM, IN ADDITION TO KINDA KEEPING THE LIGHTS ON, KEEPING UPDATES AND ALL THAT STUFF, THESE ARE SOME OF THE HIGH LEVEL PROJECTS THAT WE'RE WORKING ON.
A LOT OF THESE PROJECTS, UM, ARE RELATED TO OUR CAPITAL EXPENDITURE, UM, THAT WE'VE PUT IN.
UH, THE FIRST ONE, UH, REDESIGN ACCESS DATABASES AND APPLICATIONS.
THIS IS BASICALLY TAKING DATA FROM STUFF WE'VE BEEN KEEPING IN EXCEL SPREADSHEETS AND MICROSOFT ACCESS
[00:10:01]
AND PUTTING 'EM INTO A MORE CUSTOMIZED APPLICATION, EASIER TO RUN REPORTS ON QUERIES, ADD INFORMATION TO, AND, AND REALLY STREAMLINE PRODUCTIVITY FOR DEPARTMENTS.UM, A LOT OF THESE RIGHT HERE ARE TAKING, UH, PERMITS THAT WE'VE HAD ON PAPER AND PUTTING THEM INTO AN APPLICATION THAT'S ONLINE.
PEOPLE CAN FILL OUT, UH, INTERNAL, UH, EMPLOYEES CAN KIND OF TAKE THAT DATA AND THEN IT'S ALL INTERNAL.
IT'S ALL BACKED UP ON PAPERWORK AND HAS OR OUT IN THE, IN THE SYSTEM AND HAS WORKFLOW AND EVERYTHING TO IT.
THAT'S A LOT OF WHAT THIS IS ABOUT RIGHT HERE.
SO LAND SOURCES NEXT GENERATION PERMITTING THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH NEXT GENERATION HOUSES.
THAT'S JUST A, A PEJORATIVE FOR, UH, UH, YOU KNOW, THE NEXT, YOU KNOW, THE NEXT THING FOR PERMITTING, YOU KNOW RIGHT.
THAT'S NOT, THIS IS JUST THE PERMITTING.
THIS IS NOTHING TO DO WITH NEXT GEN HOUSING.
SO WE'RE USING THAT TERM NEXT GENERATION ON A NUMBER OF THINGS.
THIS IS THE KIND OF THINK WHEN WE USE THE TERM NEXT GENERATION HERE, IT'S, WE'RE GOING FROM PAPER YEAH, YEAH.
TO THE DIGITAL WORLD, SO, YEP.
SO THAT'S JUST THE NEXT, NEXT GEN, THE NEXT BEST THING.
UM, SO THAT'S WHAT THE, AND IN WASHCO APPS, YOU SEE THAT WORD ON THERE? THAT'S OUR INTERNAL APPLICATION SERVER THAT WE, WE BUILD THESE APPLICATIONS IN.
UM, IN THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR, WE HAD AN APPLICATION FOR THE, UM, A REQUEST FROM THE MEDICAL EXAMINER'S OFFICE.
THEN WE HAD A NEW MEDICAL EXAMINER COME INTO WASHINGTON COUNTY AND KIND OF LOOKED AT EVERYTHING AND, AND DECIDED TO WORK A DIFFERENT ROUTE.
SO THIS ONE WAS, WAS KIND OF CLOSED OUT FOR US EARLY.
WE, WE HAD BEEN WORKING ON AN APPLICATION FOR THEM, KIND OF THE SAME THING, GETTING OFF OF A OLD ACCESS AND EXCEL TYPE OF SETUP TO, INTO AN APPLICATION.
BUT THE NEW MEDICAL EXAMINER DID FIND AN APPLICATION THAT ALREADY SUITS THEIR NEEDS AND IS EXACTLY WHAT THEY NEED CANNED ALREADY.
SO SHE DECIDED TO GO THAT ROUTE.
UH, THE NEXT INITIATIVE IS KINDA LOOKING AT CLOUD SERVICES.
WHAT CAN WE DO IN THE CLOUD, UH, VERSUS BUYING MORE STORAGE AND MORE COMPUTERS AND MORE SERVERS HERE ON PREMISE.
UM, SO THIS IS ALL ABOUT TAKING US FROM TRADITIONAL FILE STORES HERE ON, ON SITE AND APPLICATIONS HERE IN OUR DATA CENTER AND MOVING THEM TO THE CLOUD.
UM, CLOUD SEEMS TO BE, UH, MORE ADVANTAGEOUS NOW IN BUSINESS BECAUSE OF COSTS ARE COMING DOWN VERSUS COSTS OF BUYING PHYSICAL EQUIPMENT.
SO WE'RE, WE'RE LOOKING AT THAT.
UM, JUST A QUESTION I, ON THE CLOUD PART OF IT, IS THERE ANY CONCERN WITH OTHER SECURITIES SECURITY ISSUES? I KNOW WE'VE ALWAYS WORKED REAL HARD, WE'VE ALWAYS WORKED REAL HARD ON SECURITY, BUT IF WE MOVE IT TO THE CLOUD, ARE THERE OTHER CONCERNS ABOUT SECURITY WITH THE INFORMATION? I, I THINK THE CONCERN IS EQUAL.
SO, UH, WE JUST SHIFT FROM DOING ONSITE SECURITY TO CLOUD SECURITY.
SO THAT'S WHERE THE FOCUS WOULD JUST CHANGE.
UM, THE THREAT LANDSCAPE IS THE SAME.
UM, YOU KNOW, THERE'S, THERE'S PROTECT PROTECTIONS IN CLOUD SERVICES.
YOU KNOW, FOR EXAMPLE, THE ONE WE WORK WITH MICROSOFT, THEY'RE IN A, A, A DATA CENTER THAT HAS MORE SECURITY THAN A TYPICAL CONSUMER BECAUSE OF THE GOVERNMENT ASPECT OF US.
SO THERE'S A LOT MORE SECURITY INVOLVED IN SOME OF THESE CLOUD SERVICES THAN MOST PEOPLE THINK OF.
UM, I WOULD SAY THAT THE MICROSOFT TENANT THAT HOSES OUR EMAIL IS HIGHLY SECURE.
UM, AND THEY, THEY GET MORE RESTRICTIONS AROUND THEIR DATA CENTERS FOR GOVERNMENT THAN THEY DO ON THE COMMERCIAL SIDE.
BUT THAT IS SOMETHING WE WILL TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION AND SOMETHING THAT WE INCLUDE AS WE LOOK AT THESE SERVICES.
YOU KNOW, WHAT'S THE SECURITY BEHIND? IS THERE TWO-FACTOR AUTHENTICATION? YOU KNOW, WHAT'S THEIR, UH, AUDITING POLICY LOOK LIKE? CAN WE AUDIT THEM OURSELVES? THERE'S ALL THESE THINGS.
AND LIKE I SAY, IT'S JUST MOVING THE SECURITY FROM HERE TO SHIFTING IT OVER THERE.
THE ONLY QUESTION I HAVE ON THAT IS, UH, IT WOULD BE IN, IN COST IMPACT.
YOU SAID THAT THE CLOUD SERVICES HAVE COME DOWN IN PRICE.
SO IT'S YOUR OPINION THAT IT'S CHEAPER THAN MOVING IT OFF BASE THAN BUYING THE EQUIPMENT AND BACKUPS AND ALL THAT AND KEEPING THAT GOING HERE.
I I'VE SEEN SHIFTS, UH, THE, THE, THE COST OF CLOUD COME DOWN.
SO A LOT OF THAT COST HAS COME DOWN IN WITH, WITH CLOUD SERVICES, AND WE'LL CONTINUE TO KEEP EVALUATING THAT, MAKING THE BEST DECISION.
IN GOOD INTEREST FOR THE COUNTY.
UM, WITH, UH, MICROSOFT, WE HAD GONE TO TEAMS BRIEFLY AND THAT DIDN'T WORK OUT TOO.
YOU WANNA, CAN YOU EXPAND ON THAT A LITTLE BIT AT A HIGH LEVEL? SURE.
I, I WOULD SAY TEAMS WAS, WAS NOT A FAILURE.
[00:15:01]
IN FACT,AND I THINK IT WAS ONE OTHER DE THERE WAS ONE OTHER DEPARTMENT THAT STILL HAD A NEED NEED FOR ZOOM.
UM, BUT I THINK THAT'S MORE OF A EQUIPMENT ISSUE IN THAT ASPECT.
THE REST OF THE COUNTY HAS BEEN SUCCESSFUL ON TEAMS. UM, HEALTH DEPARTMENT USES THE HEAVILY HUMAN SERVICES DEPARTMENT USES THE HEAVILY IT, I MEAN, WE HAVE WEEKLY MEETINGS IN IT.
UM, SO I THINK SOME OF THE EQUIPMENT WAS A FACTOR INTO THAT ISSUE.
AND I THINK WE'RE GONNA LOOK AT REPLACING EQUIPMENT, MEANING OUR COMPUTERS, UH, MEANING THE, UH, ACTUALLY THE ZOOM ROOMS IS WHAT WE HAD THE MOST ISSUES WITH.
SO THE ZOOM ROOMS WERE PURCHASED DURING COVID-19 AND, AND DURING, WITH THOSE, UH, COVID FUNDS.
SO IF WE LOOK AT THAT EQUIPMENT'S FOUR AND FIVE YEARS OLD NOW.
UM, AND UNFORTUNATELY TECHNOLOGY IS WHAT IT IS.
IT'S NOT MEANT TO LAST LIKE IT WAS.
SO I THINK A LOT OF THAT WILL FIX THAT.
SO FOUR YEARS IS CONSIDERED OLD IN THE COMPUTER WORLD NOW, UNFORTUNATELY, EVERYTHING'S DISPOSABLE NOW.
WELL, MY COMPUTER'S EIGHT YEARS AT HOME, SO I SHOULD PROBABLY BE SEARCHING THEN
YEAH, IT, IT IS, IT IS AMAZING.
I REMEMBER THE, UH, THE FIRST IBM THINK PADS.
OH, THOSE THINGS WERE TANKS, YOU KNOW, THEY WERE BIG AND SURE.
AND YEAH, THOSE THINGS RAN FOR YEARS NOW.
WE WE'RE LUCKY IF WE CAN GET A BATTERY TO LAST A YEAR ON A, A NEW LENOVO
BUT WE'LL CONTINUE TO DO OUR DUE DILIGENCE ON, ON CLOUD AND KIND OF EVALUATE WHAT MAKES SENSE.
YOU KNOW, WE'RE TAKING IN SECURITY COST, ALL THAT.
SO ON THE ADVANCING APPLICATIONS AND WORKFLOW IN WASHINGTON COUNTY, YOU SEE THE WORD MY AVATAR, THAT'S AN APPLICATION, AN ERM FOR THE ELECTRONIC MEDICAL RECORDS PROGRAM FOR THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT, OR, I'M SORRY, HUMAN SERVICES DEPARTMENT.
UM, SO WE WENT THROUGH JUST A, A BIG IMPLEMENTATION.
WE HAD IT STAFF THERE WORKING WITH A THIRD PARTY VENDOR, AND THAT HAS BEEN SUCCESSFUL.
I'VE HEARD GOOD FEEDBACK FROM THAT.
UM, I MET WITH THEIR, UH, THEIR DEPARTMENT LAST THURSDAY AND HAD A GOOD UPDATE AND THEY'LL CONTINUE TO, TO LOG, UH, DIFFERENT CHANGES AND THINGS THAT THEY NEED.
SO TYLER MUNI IS OUR, KIND OF LIKE OUR ERP SYSTEM HERE.
THAT'S OUR, ALL OF OUR FINANCIAL, UM, GENERAL LEDGER AND ALL THAT.
UM, THAT ACTUALLY COMPLETED LAST WEEK ON TIME ON THE NINTH.
SO THAT IS WHEN THIS PAPER WENT TO YOU.
UM, THAT WAS A HUGE UNDERTAKING.
COUNTLESS HOURS OF, OF DOING THAT MIGRATION.
WE ACTUALLY TOOK THE COUNTY DOWN FOR THURSDAY AND FRIDAY AS OUR VENDOR WORKED ON THE MIGRATION.
BUT ALL IN ALL, IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S SUCCESSFUL.
UM, NOW IT'S JUST A MATTER OF WORKING OUT LITTLE MINOR BUGS THAT COME UP, BUT WE'RE KEEPING SOFTWARE UP TO DATE, WHICH IS IMPORTANT.
SO WE GET THIS, THE SECURITY BEHIND IT, AS WELL AS GETTING, MAKE SURE WE GET THE UPDATES, NEW FEATURES, ALL OF THAT.
AS SOFTWARE AND EQUIPMENT GETS OLD, YOU KIND OF LOSE THAT SUPPORT.
SO IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE KEEP UP ON THESE.
UM, AND THEN THE CHILD SUPPORT DOCUMENT SCANNING PROJECT THAT'S STILL IN DRAFT.
UH, I'M, I'VE REACHED OUT TO OUR, UH, ATTORNEY TO SEE IF THAT'S SOMETHING THEY STILL WANNA PURSUE.
AND, AND IF THEY DO, THEN WE'LL LOOK AT WHAT THAT ENTAILS.
UH, ENHANCEMENTS TO IT INFRASTRUCTURE.
SO THIS IS, THIS IS ALL THAT EQUIPMENT THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HERE.
NOW, THE, THE PHYSICAL HARDWARE THAT WE BUY, UH, THIS YEAR WE WENT THROUGH A BACKUP SERVICES, UH, UPDATE.
SO THIS IS THE BACKUP EQUIPMENT THAT BACKS UP OUR DATA FOR US AND SENDS IT OFFSITE FOR US AS WELL.
THAT WENT THROUGH, UH, WE HAVE SOME SERVERS ON HERE.
SO PHYSICAL HARDWARE THAT HAS AGED OUT BECOME END OF SUPPORT.
SAME WITH THE, UH, THE NETWORK SWITCHES.
NETWORK SWITCHES IS, IS WHAT EVERYONE'S LAPTOP CONNECTS TO ONE OF THESE GUYS.
IT COME CONNECTS BACK TO A CLOSET THAT'S A SWITCH.
UM, SO SWITCHES HAVE BEEN IN THE COUNTY FOR QUITE SOME TIME.
IN FACT, I JUST PULLED ONE OUT YESTERDAY.
THAT'S BEEN, IT WAS MANUFACTURED IN 2004.
UM, I HOPE THE NEXT ONE I PUT IN LAST THAT LONG
THEY'RE SCHEDULED TO GET ALL THEIR NETWORK CLOSETS REFRESHED.
AND THEN IN 25 WE'LL LOOK AT THE PUBLIC AGENCY CENTER, UM, FOR SWITCHES.
AND THEN THE WIRELESS ACCESS POINTS ARE COMING UP TO END OF SUPPORT, END OF SERVICE.
WHERE WE'RE, WE HAVE TO LOOK AT REPLACING THOSE IN 2025.
ENHANCEMENTS TO CYBERSECURITY, UH, THIS YEAR, ONCE AGAIN, WITH THE HARDWARE, THE, THE, THE ACTUAL FIREWALL THAT KIND OF KEEPS BAD GUYS OUT OF THE NETWORK, UM, WAS REPLACED IN, UH, MARCH OF THIS YEAR.
[00:20:01]
A, A SUPPORT ISSUE.THE VENDORS SAY, HEY, WE'RE NOT GONNA SUPPORT THIS DEVICE ANYMORE, SO WE GOTTA UPGRADE IT.
SO WE DO, UH, WE'VE ACTUALLY CREATED A, UH, CRIMINAL JUSTICE INFORMATION SECURITY COMPLIANT NETWORK FOR OUR SHERIFF'S OFFICE.
AND WE'VE MOVED SERVERS OVER TO THAT NETWORK, MEETING THAT CRITERIA FROM THE AUDITS, FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF SET, BY THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE.
UH, WE'RE CONTINUING TO BUILD OUT OUR VULNERABILITY MANAGEMENT.
SO ANYTHING THAT IS CONSIDERED A WHOLE IN OUR NETWORK, WE HAVE SOFTWARE THAT KIND OF IDENTIFIES THAT ON A DAILY BASIS.
AS NEW THREATS COME OUT, THIS SOFTWARE KEEPS UP WITH THAT, AND THEN THIS SOFTWARE REPORTS BACK TO US.
AND THEN WE HAVE OUR ACTION AND MARCHING ITEMS TO KIND OF ADDRESS THOSE SECURITY CONCERNS.
UM, THAT'S A NEVER ENDING BATTLE, AND I'M SURE THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT WE'RE GONNA GO ON INTO THE FUTURE HERE.
UH, WE CAN, WE DID COMPLETE OUR 2004, OR I'M SORRY, 2024 ANNUAL SECURITY AUDIT THAT WE HAVE HOSTED BY A THIRD PARTY VENDOR.
THEY ACTUALLY COME IN, THEY SIT, SIT DOWN WITH ME FOR TWO DAYS.
WE GO OVER ALL OF OUR, UH, INTERNAL CONTROLS.
WE TAKE A, I TAKE 'EM ON A ZOOM, UH, TOUR OF THE BUILDING, UM, SHOW 'EM, YOU KNOW, THAT THE DATA CENTER HAS CARD ACCESS TO GET IN.
WE KIND OF DO ALL OF THIS BIG AUDIT.
IT'S, IT'S TWO DAYS FULL, FULL TWO DAYS.
UM, WE DID DROP, THERE'S A COUPLE FINDINGS THAT WE HAVE TO ADDRESS ON THOSE.
ONE OF THE BIG FINDINGS FOR THAT WAS, UM, LAST YEAR WE HAD KIND OF A, OR LAST COUPLE YEARS, WE HAD A DEDICATED PERSON FOR SECURITY THAT WAS ME BEFORE I TOOK THE DIRECTOR ROLE.
NOW AS ME TAKING ON THE DIRECTOR ROLE, WE DON'T HAVE SOMEONE THAT'S DEDICATED SOLELY FOR SECURITY.
SO THAT WAS A BIG FINDING THAT KIND OF DROPPED OUR SCORE.
SO THEY, THEY GIVE YOU A SCALE FROM LIKE 208, OR I'M SORRY, 300 TO 800, AND RIGHT AROUND, WE'RE RIGHT AROUND THAT SIX 60, I BELIEVE.
UM, AND SO THAT'S WHAT, WHAT WE'LL CONTINUE TO LOOK AT.
AND WITH THESE AUDITS EVERY YEAR THERE'S NEW CRITERIA.
SO THAT'S JUST STUFF WE JUMP ON AND EVALUATE AS WE GO THROUGH THIS.
JUST, JUST A QUICK QUESTION ON THAT ASPECT.
I KNOW IN THE PAST WE'VE COME BEFORE THE BOARD AND DONE A REVIEW OF THIS.
IS THAT SOMETHING THAT WILL COME BEFORE THE, THE FULL BOARD AS FAR AS REVIEW OF THAT AUDIT AND THE FINDINGS OF IT? WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO DO? ABSOLUTELY.
I THINK THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT, UH, TO GIVE THE BOARD A KIND OF A PULSE ON WHERE WE'RE AT.
SO IF WE RANK DOWN BECAUSE WE DIDN'T HAVE A DEDICATED SECURITY PERSON, WHAT'S THE OUTCOME NOW? OR DO WE, ARE WE GETTING ONE? THAT'S SOMETHING I'M IN TALKS WITH, UM, WITH, UH, UH, SCOTT ABOUT, AND THAT IS ON MY, MY FORECAST.
BUT I, I, I DO BELIEVE THAT IS A NEED.
UM, AND THEN IN 25 WE'LL DO ANOTHER AUDIT, BUT THESE ARE JUST ANNUAL AUDITS THAT WE DO INTERNALLY, UM, IN CONJUNCTION WITH EVERYTHING ELSE THAT WE GET, YOU KNOW, FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE AND ALL THAT.
UH, LASTLY, OUR IT SHARED SERVICES ARE GOING WELL.
IN FACT, TONIGHT YOU'LL SEE A, UM, A PROPOSAL BEFORE YOU FOR A ANOTHER MUNICIPALITY THAT WE WANT, WE WANNA BRING ON.
UH, SO FAR WE HAVE, UM, THE VILLAGE OF NEWBURGH, THE VILLAGE OF KI WASUM, AND RECENTLY THE TOWN OF ADDISON.
WE HAVE BROUGHT THEM ONTO OUR, I IT SHARED SERVICES.
UM, GOOD REPORTS FROM THE, THE, THE TOWNS AND VILLAGES THAT THEY'RE APPRECIATING THIS SERVICE.
UM, THEY, THEY LIKE THE PERSONNEL AND THEY ACTUALLY LIKE BEING ABLE TO REACH OUT TO US AND HAVING THAT KIND OF KNOWLEDGE FROM TRANSFER FROM US TO THEM.
SO THAT'S BEEN WORKING OUT WELL.
I KNOW WE'VE HAD, UM, INTEREST FROM THE VILLAGE OF GERMANTOWN THAT, WE'LL, I'LL BE REACHING OUT TO THEM AGAIN TO FOLLOW UP AFTER WE KINDA GET THROUGH THE, THE NEXT ONE HERE.
UM, THE TOWN OF AARON HAS REACHED OUT AS WELL.
AND THEN THE TOWN OF WEST BEND, LIKE SAY, WHICH IS A PROPOSAL LATER ON TONIGHT.
YEAH, I WAS GONNA SAY THEY JUST APPROVED IT, UH, TUESDAY.
DID THE TOWN OF WEST BEND APPROVED IT.
SO THAT WOULD BE, YEAH, WE HAD GOOD CONVERSATIONS THERE AND I, I SUSPECTED THEY WOULD'VE MM-HMM.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? ALL RIGHT.
OKAY, THE NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA AND FOR THE NEW PEOPLE HERE, THIS TRANSIT RIDERSHIP REPORT, WE'VE BEEN FOLLOWING IT FOR AS LONG AS I'VE BEEN ON THE BOARD.
UM, OBVIOUSLY WE GOT RID OF THE WASHINGTON COUNTY COMMUTER EXPRESS, SO THAT IS NO LONGER ON HERE.
SO WE JUST FOCUS ON THE TAXI RIDERSHIP.
MY NAME IS, UH, CHARLES KAFTA.
I'M THE TRANSIT MANAGER FOR WASHINGTON COUNTY.
I MANAGE THE GRANTS, THE CONTRACTS, THE VEHICLES, THE BUDGET, AND I DO THE REPORTS FOR THE STATE AND FEDS.
[00:25:01]
LET'S SEE, LITTLE BACKGROUND.UH, AS, AS HE MENTIONED, THE, UH, WCC ENDED IN 2023.
[e. Transit Ridership Report]
UH, THE PANDEMIC, IT LOWERED RIDERSHIP AND IT INCREASED COST FOR BOTH THE TAXI AND THE, AND THE BUS.UH, THE TAXI IS A DOOR TO DOOR SERVICE.
UH, IT WAS APPROVED IN 2023, AND IT STARTED IN 2024.
UH, THIS YEAR WE HAVE, UH, LESS CONTRACTED HOURS SCHEDULED THAN THE PREVIOUS, PREVIOUS TWO YEARS.
AND THEN WE ALSO HAVE A CROSS COUNTY PROGRAM WITH OZAKI THAT STARTED AS A PILOT IN 2021.
SO PEOPLE, THE PUBLIC CAN REQUEST A RIDE TO BE PICKED UP IN WASHINGTON COUNTY AND DROPPED OFF IN, IN OZAKI COUNTY.
AND THEN IF YOU WANNA COME BACK TO WASHINGTON COUNTY, YOU HAVE TO SCHEDULE WITH OZAKI AND THEY'LL BRING, BRING YOU BACK TO WASHINGTON COUNTY.
UH, WE CAN'T PICK UP IN OZAKI COUNTY DUE TO GRANT FUNDING AND DUPLICATION OF SERVICE.
UM, SO INCLUDED ARE THE REPORTS FOR RIDERSHIP.
UH, DOUG NEWMAN REQUESTED THE OPERATIONAL STATISTICS FOR THE, THE COST PER TRIP AND THE FAIRS PER TRIP.
WE ALSO HAVE THE CROSS COUNTY TRIPS.
UH, WE HAVE THE TRIPS BY FAIR TYPE.
UH, THESE ARE THE, THE FAIR TYPES THAT WERE, UH, AFFECTED BY THE FAIR INCREASE FOR 2024.
WE ALSO HAVE, UH, A TRIP PURPOSE.
WE JUST THOUGHT IT'D BE, UH, NICE TO SEE THE, YOU KNOW, MO MOST OF THE TRIPS ARE, ARE USED FOR, UH, HIGHEST IS EMPLOYMENT AND MEDICAL.
AND AS YOU CAN SEE, THE HIGHEST, UH, CATEGORY OF PEOPLE TAKING IT ARE, UH, DISABLED AND ELDERLY.
AND THEN WE ALSO HAVE, UH, TRIPS BY HOUR AND, UH, DAY OF WEEK, UH, THE BUSIEST TIME IS, UH, 2:00 PM ON, UH, ON A WEDNESDAY.
THAT'S THE BUSIEST, UH, DAY AND TIME.
AND THEN IT REALLY, YOU KNOW, DROPS OFF AROUND AROUND 6:00 PM UH, OUR HOURS ARE FIVE TO 10:00 PM MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY.
AND WE'RE OPEN EIGHT TILL EIGHT TILL FOUR ON SUNDAY.
AND WE ALSO THOUGHT IT'D BE NICE TO INCLUDE THE HOW MANY DRIVERS, UH, ARE WORKING, UH, THOSE DAYS.
AND AT THAT TIME, JUST SO YOU SEE HOW IT'S, UH, STAFFED FOR THOSE, FOR THOSE BUSY AND SLOW, UH, PERIODS.
UH, DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, SUPERVISOR? UH, JUST, JUST, UH, THE NUMBERS ON THE VERY FIRST PART THERE, BETWEEN 2023 AND 2024, THERE WAS A CONSIDERABLE DROP.
WAS THAT BECAUSE OF W'S THAT THE W WASHINGTON COUNTY COMMUTER EXPRESS? UH, THIS IS JUST FOR THE, FOR THE SHARED RIGHT.
SO THE NUMBERS DROPPED, UH, DUE TO, UH, THE, THE CONTRACTED HOURS, THEY'RE LOWER THIS YEAR.
SO THEY'VE BEEN, THEY'RE CURRENTLY UNDER THEIR PROJECTION FOR THE YEAR.
SO YOU'LL SEE THE RIDERSHIP, UH, LIKELY INCREASE IN THE NEXT TWO MONTHS AS THEY MANAGE THOSE HOURS TO MEET THE, THE YEAR.
BUT, UH, THE REASON THOSE ARE LESS AVAILABLE HOURS.
UH, THE REASON FOR THE DECLINE BETWEEN 2023 AND 2024 FROM JANUARY TO APRIL, I, OH, IF I CAN INTERJECT HERE.
I THINK BECAUSE OF THE FAIR INCREASES THAT HAD SOME EFFECT ON IT AS WELL.
THE FAIR INCREASE ALSO WOULD LIKELY, UH, AFFECT, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE WERE GONNA KIND OF WATCH, UM, BECAUSE THEY, THEY WEREN'T INCREASED BEFORE FOR 20 YEARS YEAH.
SO WE DECIDED LAST YEAR TO KIND OF BRING THEM UP.
AND THEN WE THOUGHT IT WOULD TAKE A HIT.
SO AS PEOPLE GET USED TO IT, I THINK, UH, THAT'S WHAT WE'RE HOPING FOR, RIGHT? MM-HMM.
UM, IF YOU COULD SHARE WITH THESE PEOPLE TOO, UH, WITH THE NEW MEMBERS HERE, DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY BUSES WE HAVE OR HOW MANY TAXIS WE HAVE? WAS IT 35 OR, UH, WE HAVE 30 TAXIS.
SO IT'S A COMBINATION OF, UH, MINI BUSES AND, UH, CUTAWAY, UH, LIKE BARIATRIC VANS, THAT'S KIND OF IN BETWEEN A, UH, MINI, UH, MINI BUS AND A, AND A MINIVAN.
AND THEN WE HAVE A FEW MINIVANS.
WE JUST GOT FOUR BARIATRIC VANS THAT WERE ORDERED IN 2021.
SO THOSE JUST SHOWED UP, UH, UH, JUST THIS LAST MONTH.
SO THEN I HAVE A QUESTION FOR CHARLES.
UM, AND JOHN, MAYBE YOU KNOW THIS.
SO, UH, AND AGAIN, YOU KNOW, I'M A NEW GUY HERE, SO JUST A CLARIFY.
UH, ON THE FIRST PAGE UNDER OPERATIONAL STATISTICS, WHEN I READ ACROSS, UH, TOTAL COST, COST PER TRIP FARES, AND THEN FARES PER TRIP.
SO, UH, LET'S JUST SAY JANUARY, UH, OF THIS YEAR, 9 36.
SO FROM THE, FROM THE ACTUAL USER, I'M COLLECTING 9 36 AND THE ACTUAL COST IS 36 29.
[00:30:02]
SO COST PER TRIP AND FARES PER TRIP.OH, THAT'S JUST A, IT'S JUST A BREAKDOWN OF THE, UH, THE FARES DIVIDED BY THE TRIPS.
SO, SO $9 AND 36 CENTS, THAT'S WHAT THAT IS, RIGHT? RIGHT.
SO WE'RE ROUGHLY, SO WE ROUGHLY PICK A, OR, OR THEY'RE PAYING ROUGHLY 25% OF THE ACTUAL COSTS RIGHT.
AND THEN NEXT TO IT IS BILLED HOURS.
WHO ARE WE BILLING THOSE HOURS TO? LIKE, YOU KNOW, WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? BILLED HOURS? OH, OKAY.
YEAH, THAT'S WHAT THE, THE CONTRACTED PROVIDER.
UH, SO WE HAVE A CONTRACTED PROVIDER WHO DOES THE TAXI SERVICE.
THEY'RE CALLED, UH, SPECIALIZED TRANSPORT SERVICES.
AND THEY'RE, UH, THE CONTRACT WITH, WITH THEM IS, THEY'RE PAID BY THE REVENUE HOUR.
IT'S NOT, UH, DEADHEAD HOURS WHERE THEY'RE DRIVING TO PICK UP SOMEONE.
IT'S ONLY WHEN THEY HAVE SOMEONE IN THE VEHICLE.
SO THOSE ARE THE BUILD HOURS FROM THEM TO US.
SO THEY SEND US AN INVOICE EACH MONTH, AND THEN HERE, HERE ARE THE BUILD HOURS, AND THEN THEY HAVE A SET HOURLY RATE FOR THE YEAR.
AND WE'RE PAYING OBVIOUSLY THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE, THE FAIR AND AN ACTUAL COST PER HOUR.
UH, SO THE SET RATE IS AT THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR.
IT'S THE SAME RATE, UH, THROUGHOUT THE YEAR.
AND THE SET RATE FOR THIS YEAR IS ABOUT 30, UH, 30, BETWEEN 36 AND 37.
I, I'LL, I CAN GET BACK TO YOU ON THE EXACT, UH, NO.
SO THAT'S WHAT WE'RE ROUGHLY, OH, SORRY, IS ABOUT 25 CENTS ON THE DOLLAR FOR THE ACTUAL COST.
I THINK THAT'S ONE OF THE REASONS WE INCREASED IT WAS BECAUSE WE WANTED TO CLOSE THAT, THAT IF WE COULD, UM, CHAIRMAN SCH LIFE'S A QUESTION.
UM, YOU NOTE HERE TOO, ON THE SECOND PAGE, UM, THE COUNTIES AROUND US WHEN WE WERE STUDYING IT LAST YEAR, SUPERVISOR CHADRON AND SUPERVISOR HART WIGGLE REMEMBER THIS, BUT THOSE COUNTIES MOSTLY JUST DO MEDICAL, ELDERLY, AND DISABLED.
AND YOU CAN SEE THAT THAT'S WHERE A LOT OF OURS ARE.
SO, UM, IT'S WORKING THE WAY WE HOPED IT WOULD, BUT I, REMIND ME WHAT AGENCY MEANS.
UH, THAT'S WHERE, UH, THE PERSON WRITING, THEY DON'T PAY THE FAIR THEMSELVES.
A FEDERAL OR STATE AGENCY PAYS FOR THEIR TRIP.
AND FROM WHAT I, WHEN I MET WITH SCOTCHMAN THE OTHER DAY, AND HE EXPLAINED WITH THE INCREASE IN THE AFFAIRS, YOU WERE INCREASING ADULT, THE ADULT CATEGORY.
AND BUT NOT LIKE THE SENIORS AND THE DISABLED.
SO YOU'RE KIND OF GEARING IT TOWARDS, UM, THE SENIORS AND THE BRINGING IT TO YEAH.
NEED IT AND WOULDN'T HAVE ANOTHER OPTION.
BUT WE'RE STILL OFFERING IT TO THE ADULTS JUST AT AN INCREASE.
AND WHEN WE HAD THE PUBLIC HEARING A WHILE BACK, WE HAD SOME PEOPLE THAT WERE COMPLAINING ABOUT IT BECAUSE, I MEAN, YOU KNOW, SOME OF THE LOWER INCOME AND STUFF, THEY REALLY APPRECIATED THAT.
UM, BUT I MEAN, IT'S THE HARD PILL TO SWALLOW.
IT'S A DECISION THAT WE HAD TO MAKE.
SO, BUT, BUT YES, THIS, I THINK IS GEARED MORE, UM, FOR THE SENIOR CITIZENS AND STUFF SO THEY CAN GET THEIR MEDICAL MM-HMM.
AND THAT'S KIND, KIND OF OUR FORETHOUGHT ON TRYING TO OFFSET SOME OF THE INCREASED COSTS BECAUSE OF THE INFLATION THAT WE'RE HITTING RIGHT NOW.
SO, AND WE CAN ALWAYS REVIEW THAT IN THE FUTURE.
I WAS WONDERING IF IT, IT PROBABLY WOULD NOT HURT IF WE CAN SHARE SOME OF THAT INFORMATION THAT WE GOT WITH THE NEW MEMBERS HERE.
BECAUSE I KNOW BOB AND I HAVE A LOT OF THAT TO FALL BACK ON.
TO REMEMBER WHY WE ARE, WE'RE AT WHERE WE ARE NOW.
AND I THINK THAT'LL EXPLAIN A LOT TO THESE GUYS.

SO THE ADMINISTRATION'S EXPENSES WERE SPLIT, BUT THIS IS JUST THE, THE TAXI HERE IN 2022 AND 2023.
BUT THAT, THAT'S NOTED AT THE BOTTOM.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? SEEING NONE.

I NEED A MOTION IN A SECOND TO BRING IT TO THE
[g. 2024 Resolution: Resolution Authorizing Washington County Information Technology Department to Provide Information Technology Services to the Town of West Bend as Part of Shared Revenue of the County Sales Tax]
TABLE.I MOVE SUPERVISOR GARATH, SUPERVISOR BI, BOLICK.

SO YES, THIS IS IN CONTINUANCE OF OUR COUNTY SHARED SERVICES, UM, USING THE, UH, COUNTY SHARED SERVICES, UH, REVENUE GRANT PROGRAM.
THE BIG THING TO POINT OUT HERE, UM, THANK YOU TO THE, UH, TO AARON DAHL AND HIS TEAM THAT CAME UP WITH A, A FORMULA FOR US TO KIND OF ESTIMATE THE VALUE OF OUR SERVICES.
AND THIS ONE IS AN ESTIMATED VALUE OF JUST OVER OR JUST SHY OF $19,000 PER YEAR.
THAT'S OUR ESTIMATED BASED OFF OF BASICALLY OUR TIME AND LABOR.
SHOULD WE READY TO TAKE A VOTE THEN? ALRIGHT.
I I HAVE ONE AND I, I JUST, IF IT'S NOT APPROPRIATE, JUST ON DISCUSSION, ITEM B, THE MINOR GRANT, THERE WAS NO ACTION ON THAT.
SHOULD THERE HAVE BEEN AN ACTION? NO.
UM, WERE WE LOOKING FOR A GRANT OR ANYTHING THAT SAID MINOR GRANT TO FUNDS? SO I DIDN'T KNOW IF WE MISSED AN, IF THERE'S, IT WAS DISCUSSION.
SHOULD THERE HAVE BEEN AN ACTION ON THAT? THAT WAS, I BELIEVE IT WAS JUST A DISCUSSION ITEM.
SO IF, IF THEY, I GUESS I'M NOT SURE WHO CAN HELP WITH THAT, BUT JUST INFORMING THIS COMMITTEE THAT THEY'RE, THEY'VE GOT GRANTS TO COVER THE COST.
SO THERE'S NO FURTHER ACTION NEED.
YEAH, I BELIEVE IT'S JUST A MONEY THING.
NOW WE HAVE TO REALLY, I KNOW IT JUST MAKES, JUST BRING IT UP IF THERE'S, WE MISSED SOMETHING, BUT, ALRIGHT.
AND THEN BEFORE WE CLOSE THE NEXT MEETING'S, TUESDAY, JUNE 18TH, IS EVERYBODY OKAY WITH MOVING FROM THURSDAY TO TUESDAY? AND THE REASON WE'RE DOING THIS IS BECAUSE NOW THERE'S A CONFLICT WITH THURSDAY NIGHTS THE SAME TIME IT WOULD BE FOUR O'CLOCK IF THAT WOULD WORK.
IS THAT ALL RIGHT WITH EVERYBODY THAT TIME? DIFFERENT BAD CHANNEL? WELL, JUST DIFFERENT DAY.
IT'LL JUST BE BEFORE EXECUTIVE AND WE'LL MAKE THE VILLAGE MEETING BY SEVEN.
I'LL TRY TO MAKE SURE I'M QUICK ON 'EM.
SO LIKE, WELL FOR ME TO SAY, LOOK, IF I HAVE TO, TUESDAY'S KIND OF TERRIBLE FOR ME.
I MEAN I JUST FROM A WORK STANDPOINT AND THEN I EITHER USUALLY SHOOT TRAP OR I PLAYED GOLF IN THE WASHINGTON COUNTY GOLF LEAGUE ON TUESDAY NIGHTS, ONE OF THE TWO.
LIKE, I MEAN, I'M JUST SAYING, AND, AND TUESDAY FOR WORK FOR ME IT'S JUST USUALLY ONE OF THESE DAYS.
IT'S USUALLY A LONGER DAY OF THE WEEK.
IS THERE A, IS THERE ANOTHER NIGHT? MONDAY? YEAH.
IS THERE ANOTHER DAY OR ANOTHER? MONDAY.
CAN YOU SPEAK FOR UH,
BUT, UM, I, I I'M NOT AWARE OF ANY CONFLICTS WITH SCOTT, BUT I DON'T SPEAK YEAH.
AND TOO MUCH DEFINITION FOR HIS SCHEDULE.
THEN I'LL TURN, TURN AROUND AND TALK.
DO A DOODLE POLL OR DO NO, YEAH.
OR WANNA WORK IT OUT HERE? UH, WELL I, I MEAN THE OTHER OPTION IS WE COULD GO TO THREE 30 INSTEAD OF FOUR OR SOMETHING.
[00:40:01]
JUST I GOING UP YOUR WORK DAY?WELL, YEAH, I GET THAT JUST MAKES ME GET UP AN HOUR BECAUSE SEE WEDNESDAY THEY WANT TO KEEP 'EM ALL IN THE SAME WEEK.
SAME WEEK AND AGAIN THURSDAY THERE'S JUST A, THERE'S TIME, YOU KNOW, WEEKDAYS IN THAT WEEK I'M, ALL I WAS SAYING WAS FOR ME, WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY, FRIDAY I REALIZED PROBABLY MOST PEOPLE KNOW DO FRIDAY.
SO WEDNESDAY LIKE THURSDAY, YOU KNOW, WORKED WELL FOR ME.
THAT'S, YOU KNOW, WHEN WE MET ALSO WHEN I WAS ON AND LAND USE JUST FOR, I SUPPOSE LAND USE IS IN THE MORNING.
WOULD THE MORNING HOURS WORK BETTER? AND I'M JUST THROWING IT OUT.
LAND USE IS SWITCHED FROM MORNING TO, THAT'S THE CONFLICT.
AND THAT'S THE PROBLEM I HAVE IS MY WORK SCHEDULE MORNINGS ARE ALL TAKE THURSDAY MORNING AT SEVEN 30.
MY MORNINGS ARE DON'T WORK GOOD FOR ME MORNING.
I MEAN, I COULD DO LIKE A THREE O'CLOCK, MOVE IT UP EARLIER.
UH, SCOTT JUST SAID ANY DAY WORKS FOR HIM.
SO LAND USE CHANGED AFTER TODAY.
'CAUSE WE WERE, I WAS HERE THIS MORNING FOR LAND USE AT SEVEN 30.
THEY, THEY WANTED TO GO EVENINGS AS WELL.
UM, BUT I COULD CERTAINLY DO AT THREE O'CLOCK ON THURSDAY.
THAT WAY WE WOULD GET ON THURSDAY I COULD MAKE FOUR O'CLOCK.
I CAN MAKE FOUR O'CLOCK THURSDAY.
THAT'S, WE CAN'T DO FOUR O'CLOCK 'CAUSE LAND USE AND PLANNING AT 4 30, 3 O'CLOCK THURSDAY.
WOULD THAT BE OKAY WITH THE REST OF YOU GUYS? THREE O'CLOCK ON THURSDAY? YEAH.
ARE YOU OKAY WITH THAT? YEAH, WE STACKING MEETINGS.
IT MEANS ONE LAST DAY THAT WE HAVE HERE.
I MEAN, YEAH, THREE O'CLOCK I'D HAVE TO JUST GET OUTTA WORK EARLIER AND I SUNNY DAYS.
SO, ALRIGHT, WE'LL MOVE IT TO THURSDAY.
IT WOULD BE JUNE 20TH I BELIEVE.
IS THAT YOU GUYS MAKING NOTES OF THAT AND LETTING MIKE KNOW? YES.
AND I BELIEVE, I'M SORRY, GO AHEAD.
THE NEXT MEETING DATE THEN WOULD BE THURSDAY, JUNE 20TH.
THURSDAY, JUNE 20TH AT THREE O'CLOCK.
AND THAT GIVES US AN HOUR AND A HALF.
AND I, YEAH, I DON'T THINK IN, IN THE FOUR YEARS I'VE BEEN DOING THIS, WE MIGHT HAVE HAD ONE MEETING THAT WENT MORE THAN AN HOUR.
AND IT'S BECAUSE WE HAD A PUBLIC HEARING.
OTHER THAN THAT, WE GET OUT IN PLENTY OF TIME.
THREE OR FOUR FOR ME ON THURSDAY.
WHATEVER WORKS FOR, FOR EVERYBODY ELSE ON THAT DAY.
SEE THEN I COULD JUST STAY HERE THROUGH LAND USE AND LEARN IT ALL RIGHT AWAY TO TAKE OVER.
AND THEN I'M ASSUMING THAT OUR CALL-INS WOULD BE THE SAME TIME THEN ON THURSDAYS, LIKE IT'S BEEN, YOU KNOW, TO SET UP THE, THE MEETINGS.
I'LL, I'LL HAVE TO CONTACT HER, MICHAEL.
I'M SURE HE'LL GET AHOLD OF ME.
