Okay, I will call the meeting of the Stevenson County Finance Committee to order circa Friday, February 13th.

And I will ask to see if anybody else wants to break.

I'll take it.

Lord God Almighty, thank you for offering us the opportunity to serve the people of this county on this Finance Committee.

I pray you help us get through the things we need to get through, understand the things community to understand, to communicate and collaborate as we need to on things and do the best we can for the folks of this County, how we spend their money.

So thank you and praise you, Jesus, and that's it.

All right, I have an entertaining motion to approve the agenda for today.

I have a motion and a second, and any other discussion?

All those in favor say aye.

Aye.

Opposed?

Motion carried.

Meeting minutes for January 12th, 2026 meeting.

I have a motion to approve this.

Second.

And a second.

I need discussion.

Okay.

Hearing none, all those in favor say aye.

Aye.

Opposed?

Motion carried.

There's a little claims, I had claims in the amount of, we got a, I'm going to just roll these together.

We've got claims for zoning.

Well, for the Finance Committee is 554-34-77, cash requirements, 489-341-48, manuals, for a total of $1,043,676.25.

May I suppose get you separate?

Yeah, okay.

So what's your plan here?

Sold.

Second.

I have a motion to approve.

Second.

Any discussion on claims?

All those in favor say aye.

Aye.

Opposed?

Motion carried.

I have a motion to approve and a second.

Any discussion?

All those in favor say aye.

Opposed?

Motion to pay that fee.

So I have public comments.

Seeing none.

The first committee, Madam McWright, you have the floor.

Good morning, happy Valentine's Day to my favorite clients.

My clients are like my children.

I have no favorites, they're all just kidding, just kidding.

Good morning, I am here to talk about the property casualty work comp and group health.

Is you going to update on a few things?

I assume you have the presentation in front of you that I said earlier.

So I will flip through that.

I'm going to go through the papers real quick, talk about claims and the public employees to sit down with the F on the KC side.

Again, we ensure a lot of stuff as you know, buildings, contents and equipment.

There are property appraisals going on right now.

Every so often, I think three, four years, the carrier sends out property appraisals to make sure that the replacement costs are up to date and adequate for coverages.

Generally speaking, we do see that those appraisals results in somewhat significant increases in replacement costs for property managers.

So be aware once we get that out, I will let you guys know what that is.

As you know, in the world today, the replacement costs have increased in terms of inflation and labor and materials.

So that will probably be the substance of these prices.

Any questions on that?

Real quick, I go through this every time.

I'm going to skip through this pretty quickly and just highlight one thing.

So we have liability coverages, public officials, general liability, employment practices, and law enforcement liability.

We do have a $10 million umbrella over our liability coverages.

Work comp, we have unlimited coverages, as you know.

I highlighted that $50,000 deductible on the work comp for a reason.

I will get to that in a moment.

We also cover a whole bunch of autos, over 100 units.

Any questions on the end of your chat?

Next page.

This is just kind of a regurgitation of the last time we went.

You can see the premium history there.

We have gone down significantly in the last several years, which is good news.

That is the work we've done in terms of reducing work costs, claims, the work that ICRT does, the loss control rep, Mark Bell does a great job.

It's all those department heads to remind them of safety.

So we're really proud of that.

Nothing really of note there.

Down below are the insured values.

You can see those have kind of creeped up for inflation over the years.

With this property appraisal, I suspect those numbers will increase more than inflation.

Any questions?

You can skip this PNC work cough claims.

ICRMT went through an update on their reporting and flames tracking system.

we were unable to pull updated claims.

So you can ignore that.

I do know of property claim out of the health department that's pretty small, five, six, $7,000.

And there might be a small work out there since the last time we talked, but nothing other than that or nothing significant to report on that in that regard.

Next page, PETA, the Public Employee Disability Act.

I wanted to make you guys aware that there is a law or an act or a statute in the state of Illinois that requires employers of police officers, fire law enforcement officers, firefighters that get hurt in the job for work comp.

Typically work comp coverage is when a claim comes through, they pay for all medical and then lost time is paid at 66% of their salary.

that is how it generally works.

With the exception of firefighters and law enforcement, there's an Illinois state statute that says you have to pay them 100% while they're off getting better.

So just a heads up there, we had one claim that that happened with.

So if you go to the next page, ICRMT offers additional coverage on the work comp to cover the remaining 33.3% of payroll in the event someone is off due to an additional 9,000 in premium.

However, we have a $50,000 deductible on the work comp.

So I will not recommend we add this endorsement to the work but I wanted to talk to you about it and let you know and make you aware of it.

Any questions on that?

So if we want to revisit that at renewal, we can, we'll certainly get an updated goal for that, but as long as we keep the $50,000 deductible to workshop things, there's really no need for this additional publishing.

Moving on to benefits, a couple of things that are going on in the benefits world.

We use a system called Ease for online open enrollment.

This system or this company got bought out by employee navigator two years ago.

There has been a migration that has gone super slow over the last couple years.

They keep pushing out the migration date or the drop dead date when Ease is turning off and employee navigators turning on.

This will eventually affect the county where we have to migrate everything on the EES, our online opener platform to employee navigator.

I don't know when that's going to be.

Might be the end of this year, might be into 2028 or 2027, in the 2028.

Don't know the additional costs or the implementation timeline.

Costs will be minor.

Right now the EES system is free to the county, Employee Navigator, I have heard has some nominal costs, 100 a month, $50 a month, something like that, that will keep the board updated on that one thing.

Just a heads up, the employee navigator system is more robust, lots of bells and whistles that can be used for the county.

But again, not sure on the timeline.

I'm going to go through the plans just to review with you, can remind you, talk about planes and then talk about RXMAP for an update with that.

Next page, you can see the plan migration from 24 to 26.

Just a reminder that a couple of things last over 2025, the $1,500 deductible plan was no longer offered by Blue Cross Blue Shield when we had to go to an $1,800 plan that was mandatory.

We had no other choices in that. It was in 2026. The $2,500 deductible plan was not offered and it went to 2017.

You can see the number of employees in each plan has changed somewhat.

I am most proud of the $3,500 HSA deductible of 12 employees in 2025.

That has jumped up to 25 employees in 2026.

Those are things that we'd like to see.

We'd like to see employees moving to higher production.

Any questions on that?

Next page, 2025 claims. This is a full year effect of 2025. No surprise there. The county paid approximately 4.4 million and changed in premiums. Total claims paid out was about 4.6 million. The graph below is probably a better visual of how claims come in.

and again, we are running in the red.

So just a reminder that, hey, insurance is working here.

We, I say only have to pay 4.4 million in premiums.

If we were self-insured or on different plans, we would have had to pay 4.6 million.

Again, we always track this number to try to get a feel for what the renewal will come in at.

I have no feel for that right now, but based on 2025 numbers, we can expect an increase on the renewal because we're trying to get a loss from here.

Gary, can I take you back one step?

Sure.

Back to the benefits plan.

Yeah.

We had 20 employees on the last one to talk about all the plans this year, what's the cause of that?

I was going to say there's less employees this year than last year, so that's a little bit...

Let's see, the bottom there, you can see, let's flip to the next page, sorry, the bottom I might make a note, hey, of the total 4.6 million in claims, high cost claimants are 2.3, that's an issue that I will talk about here in a moment.

Next page just gives the high cost prescription claims.

Prescriptions drive about 780,000 of the high cost payments.

These brand names you may be familiar with.

I have a slide that I present to a lot of groups that I stole from someone that says you are one Super Bowl commercial away from huge pharmacy planes.

And if you recall, if you watch TV at all, you will recognize a lot of these pharmacy names.

Nothing wrong with that.

It's just that, you know, cutting edge pharmacy is great.

It helps people tremendously, but it is super, super expensive.

Like I can comment that ScareBusy is, is, you know, this is an order.

You can say J.Kirk or Humira.

Most of these are autoimmune.

Again, lots of advances in the audio autoimmune space, but it is expensive.

that we have implemented RxMatter to hopefully help that.

And then I'll talk about that.

Specialty claimants, 10 employees utilize these drugs.

What was that, specialty claimants?

Where are you?

Right hand side of that.

Yes, yes.

The next page is just a graphic view of the field.

and you can see 2025 saw a big jump, significant jump over 2024 in specials drugs, which is not the best trend we want.

I'll flip to the RxMapper.

So given what I've showed you on the pharmacy side, we really hope that RxMapper will be able to help moved the needle on the pharmacy claims.

So the whole point of RxMapper was to do DNA sequencing for folks that are on specialty drugs, those who qualify for the sequencing.

You know, the ROI again, you all approved to spend around up to $13,000 on for 10 employees to take advantage of RxMapper.

And the ROI there was spending 13,000 to offset almost over 200,000 claims.

So we really hope to see that in this year and into next.

And I can say that so far five individuals are currently enrolled and participating in the program.

That means they did the swab, or they met with the clinicians over the phone, clinician did determine that that person was a good candidate.

that they got the DNA kit, sent the swab in and they're getting sequenced.

There was another one scheduled for a screening call later this week.

And then there was one that did not qualify.

So that's great.

And that is only in the month of January.

So again, you guys approved up to 10.

We're already at 586, just in the month of January.

So I'm very, very excited about you.

So we'll see what the results are.

Hopefully.

And again, I'll remind you, you approved up to 10.

That doesn't mean you have to spend all that money.

You will only spend for the folks that get to see it.

If we go over 10, then I would have to go to the board to get a tool to get that 11th, 12th, 13th person.

Any questions on that?

What did we do with this?

It's too dumb.

We only have five, so where is it?

So the marketing started, I believe, early January or late December.

We sent out, Diamond Brothers sent out heads up marketing.

We did talk to the department head saying, hey, this is coming.

You know, tell your employees, RXMapper has sent out email blasts almost weekly since then.

So RXMapper, we kind of handed it off to RX.

We introduced the concept.

We talked to the department heads.

We tried to get the word out.

I've sent emails out as well.

Now, RxMapper has a trip campaign going out to every single employee every day.

We also talked about it in the Department of Fed Meeting this morning.

Is it possible to put a message on Facebook?

Yeah.

Maybe try it out.

Yeah, sure. It doesn't hurt.

So, I am on the RxMapper page. There's a highlight there.

On the bottom, the January invoice was just sent to Jogerst or Kupo.

and you can see everything is lagging so there's only two people on that invoice that got sequenced.

There's three more people that will be billed in February. The really only sunk cost is the per employee per month membership fee of two bucks. You know nobody participated in the plan let's say. We would be out two dollars per employee per month and then as people do get sequenced it's It's about $600 for each employee, but again, we have that date to actually have it.

So we'll just get Bill as it is.

Any questions?

I'm really excited about it.

Just got a point, more people that participate that are included on the screen, think about it off the earth.

So hopefully we can move, we don't know now.

Let's say 10 people do get enrolled.

What's our cost on those 10 people next year?

I would assume the same.

They don't get sequenced.

Unless they could take a new drug, they get sequenced again.

I will ask that question and get back to you.

I would assume it's the same.

Yes, sir.

Let's get a look back to PNC.

Sure.

You know, as you're doing these audits, and I know it's early in the year, have you seen any, I guess what rating increases are of this point, 26 or at least the fourth quarter of 25 during these audits, just as a percentage.

You mean the appraisals?

Well, we've increased in the previous, obviously the cost of the buildings replacement, things like that are going up.

So I'm just curious if you're saying a 10%, 15%?

My CRMD does a really nice job of keeping costs low. They are better than most carriers. I will tell you. First-hand knowledge.

I don't want to give you a number.

Your property premium will go up slightly because you're a crazy rich country.

I think it would be single digits.

I think the property values would go up to 10-ish, maybe in the teens percent, but ICRT does a really nice job of keeping property rates in the bottom, so it would be offset.

your work cop is a great story that has really gone down a lot.

There's only other choose our liability and those have gone down a lot too.

I mean, there's been a really good, you know, the departments that are engaged with Barbell and the safety teams really do a nice job that you can make good and can be able to go to safety.

You know, the things that you can't control, broken pipes or weather related things that's going to happen.

I'm not worried about anything else, but they're doing very well. I don't have any other concerns in any other lines of coverage.

Property will be going up because of the appraisal to the due. Other than that, I don't have it.

That's right.

Senator, any questions?

Senator, thank you.

She has somebody else who wants to go.

I have this off the top of your head, but I'd be a little curious.

Dollar percentage increase year over year for health insurance points and they work.

4.6 for 25, just 24, 23, 26.

Yes, you know, I can get you that.

Yes. I will do that. Yes. If you recall back in 2020 or 2021, we moved from the state plan to Blue Cross Blue Shield for a savings of $2 million, which was huge.

And we have kind of eaten into that now by this time.

I think it's been a lot of years.

I will give you a history on that.

Blue Cross Blue Shield just say, we're never going to get our money back.

We'll bear how high should we increase the premium?

I don't know.

I don't see that happening. I just see them increasing it from teens to 22% over here.

I really do. That's why it's, again, I have this conversation with a lot of my employers.

What you can do inside four walls helps you on the outside. When you can control your health plan, you will control your costs tremendously.

has zero incentives to help with anything.

They just, if it's a million dollar drug, they'll pay it and they'll charge you for it next year.

That's how it goes, which is neither good nor bad.

Again, the reason you pay for insurance is to insulate yourself.

These are costs that you have to have.

Every five years, generally speaking, your group is going to have a really bad year.

So within those four years, you know, you're, you're bankrupt.

So, um, that's why we put in our XMAP and that's why we're doing the wellness.

That's why there's a lot of other things we can do.

That's why we're trying to increase the deductibles, not to punish employees by any means, but to get them engaged and educated on the health care spent, being good up their consumers.

Just like you shop for a car or a microwave or refrigerator, you should shop for Medical Services, MRI's, have scans, and the way the medical systems work, they make it really convenient for you to get an MRI and just go right down the street, or right down the hall in that effort to get an MRI. Whereas if you went down the street, literally, the MRI process happens. So if there are higher deductibles for employees, again, not to punish them, but to make them, oh, well, this is my money. You know, people forget, I was guilty of it for a long time, too. It's a mindset change.

to the constraints that we have, we're working on that. You can see kind of the progression of the deductibles. I think before we had zero, except some people we passed and we're getting that, but it's a long road, it's a long one.

Lastly, Joseph, you've done a great job of giving us, giving us tools to try to get beyond the deductible, which seems like in the brainer.

Is there anything else out there that we haven't utilized that you can think of?

There's nothing now if you can, I guess, just go back to the drawing board and see what else is out there.

What we try to do is send out employee communications and campaigns, educating them on the tools that they can use.

There are tools in the Blue Cross Blue Shield app to really try to harp on folks when we do online enrollments and when Terry and I are here onsite talking to employees Hey, download the app.

Look at the costs.

Download the GoodRx app.

Look at the costs between Walgreens, CVS, Walmarts, and Liar.

Use the tools that you're given.

There's a lot of online tools to do.

We try to educate them and keep them informed.

It's kind of a whole, bring the horse to water, can't make him drink, but.

It's your word to us, Dr. Seach.

I was just thinking that.

I'll find out.

Thank you.

Chairman, I have a question.

It does probably isn't a curative question, but at the auto insurance, we're insuring 108 units at $5.6 million.

This has been brought up before.

Do we need to do a, you know, check and see if we're, all 108 of these units are still in service?

At one point in time, I had heard that there were units that were being insured that were no longer even owned by the county.

So I don't know who that, who would do that?

I would say the last couple of years, we've really, between the asset listings and the renewals, I'd say we've really railed that, that in.

So along with that, you're tracking the titles, right?

So we should know.

We have 108 titles. We have 108 vehicles. That's a lot of titles.

If you should know, now my question, do we know, but apparently George is all so good.

Thank you, Kerry.

Yeah, thank you.

All right. Madam Administrator, you have the floor.

All right. Update, which we'll talk about more later with past two vendors and settlement offers with the nursing home continuing to work on those. I had a conference call with a new shredding service company. They're going to, it's going to be a couple months till we actually transition over to that company. They need to send pictures of the two different types of receptacles they use to determine what's needed in each department for their are pickups, so we have a follow-up at the end of this, hopefully, by the end of next week.

Greater Fruit Park Partnership meeting was on the 28th of January. New Board President and two new members were appointed. Annual dinner was on the 5th with the awards, and I spent, our next meeting there is on the 25th, in court on the 11th, there was another continuance in the nursing home case to March 4th at 1.30.

There's been an uptick in boyas lately.

Last week, I received nine, in talking with the County Clerk and a few others, there's a group that is playing neighboring counties as well.

So most of the ones I got most of the neighboring counties received as well.

Um, it was overtime reports, um, contracts were executed documents.

There was, there was a lot of paywall stuff.

Uh, January 30th, uh, was the ribbon cutting for the new line at Sabensia, Floyd, Lena, the governor was there and they're rolling out a new product line to make little three-bytes, and they only place it in the other U.S. that will be producing it, but a new line.

So health screenings, I met with Empower Health.

Those health screenings will take place April 2nd and April 9th.

and we narrowed it down to two locations as opposed to three.

Trying to hit our minimums at each location with the insurance coverage, they're going to cost the county a few dollars more for the participant for the full panel that the county employees are used to seeing.

Once that's approved at the board next week, then the information flyers and things will start being distributed.

and Matt with Mark.

I met with Mark Bell on the 4th and he'll be coming to our April Department Head meeting.

He was talking about the new platform that you mentioned, Origami, but it'll be easier for us to access more detailed information about the flames that we're seeing.

So he was very excited about it and we talked about the open flames that they still have and he'll be presenting more of that information to the department heads in April and then just kind of piggybacking on what Ms. McRex said on Tuesday is when our appraisals are done on-site.

Any questions?

All right.

Carrying on, we'll have the minutes for record and we're up.

So just to touch on the Revenue and Expense Report, it's just through January so we're just getting started.

you can see in nursing center a lot of vendors have been paid so the percentage used is quite large and then I did want to mention in fund 22 and 25 there were grant dollars that came in that kind of looks slightly inflated for January. Did anyone else have any questions on this report specifically?

So moving into the audit update, the auditors were on site on February 4th, the goals basically during this time were to conduct fraud interviews and review the internal processes of accounts payable, cash receding, payroll, and any corrections to the general ledger.

So we did that and most departments were very responsive uploading documents to the SureLink portal before the auditors were on site.

I can tell who's actually accessed the site and who hasn't. The nursing center did access the site, but nothing was uploaded.

So we do not have any information currently on the requests made to the nursing center.

Yeah, so that's unfortunate, but we did get the final field work requests this week.

The circuit clerk and kind of a countywide, which encompasses the treasurer's office and in our office are the ones that do the majority of that work.

So they are going to be back on April 27th.

So we have a couple months to upload that information, but that's the update as it stands.

Any questions?

Thank you, Adam.

President's report, hopefully everybody got a copy of that, there's a link in the I'm blind, maybe I'm not going to be going through it.

I've been shooting rigs to do synopsis of things, but we still have money, so that's good.

So any other thoughts on that?

Hearing none, moving on.

Approval of payment prioritization of outstanding benefit claims for the nursing center.

And maybe it just keeps me off.

Is she the one driving that?

She is kind of the one driving that and speaking to vendors.

So she'll probably have to come.

She's just right outside or maybe come back to it.

So approval of settlement, the agreement with McKeeson's corporation.

She got that one, too.

Yeah, I'd love to go back to that.

Oh, here she comes.

So that's all we got.

So it's two lines. Yep.

And I apologize, Lee.

So the approval of payment prioritization of outstanding vendor claims for the nursing center.

Yes, kind of an updated spreadsheet was attached. I sent something that out. I did get a settlement offer last night from Fox Tire, which they were the third green one. They did make a settlement and an offer of $15,288.

They were in my pay next category anyway, but just kind of wanted to update there and see if my line of thinking is in line with what your guys' directive was, but what's the...

I mean, I've got notes in most of them, but if you have any questions about any of them.

So all the greenies are going next until, uh, I do want to keep, well, and, and you do need to keep a cushion in there.

We're reserving the money for the civil money penalty because we don't know what that would come back at.

So we're not comfortable going below what, um, we've also had, um, a few employee payouts that now that the sale is not taking place, vacation time, things that were owed to them.

would have rolled onto the other payroll that were going to be worked out through the sale.

We've had to now come back and pay. It was under $8,000 total for the two, but I don't want to not have funds available for that as well. So that is kind of the plan. We're still going with the ones that are making settlements, prioritized and then working down. And then and the local others.

Were you able to figure out how much is left next year?

I did get a message from the Treasurer.

She said her wealth number was about $48,000, $49,000, but without her coming in and double checking the accounts.

Any questions on that?

I'm sorry.

Do you need us to do anything, because there's an approval statement on these, Jim?

I think as long as we're in approval of this document, I would entertain a motion to approve the spreadsheet as per law.

I have a motion and a second.

Any other discussion?

If I could just notate, the payment that was made to country and in suites was made from the money that Mr. Perez has been reimbursing us.

So I just wanted to notate that, that's why it's the two different colors.

Yes, through our financial support we have to pay for the invoice, we have to hold the dollars until we can pay a complete invoice. I just wanted to let you know that for clarification.

I have a motion and a second. All those in favor say aye. Aye. Opposed? Motion carries.

Approval of Settlement Agreement with the Keeson Corporation.

So that is the payment amount that you see notated on what was just approved.

They sent the formal agreement that needs more approval, otherwise I would have been able to probably pay it through the prior authorization, but that is what they are offering for their settlements, so that's why I say things.

and Carl's looks at this.

Yes, Carl, let's see that.

All right.

I have a motion to approve, can I have a second?

I have a second.

Any other discussion?

All those in favor say aye.

Aye.

Opposed?

Motion carries.

All right.

So as far as the chair reports, I don't really have anything specific.

I think things are rolling along pretty good.

As Dale mentioned, we did in fact sell our house recently and closing on the 23rd, but we're doing a rent back because we're struggling to find the right place to go to, we'll give the Rockford land area.

So, you probably haven't heard of that yet.

Where are you from?

I thought everybody knew.

I took a different job about, I was in June of last year and I didn't think it would change anything necessarily after that, but it's got me going into the Chicagoland area at least three or four days a week.

and while we're here, that's an extra 45 minutes.

I look at it from that interchange between 20 and 90 when I get off there and what it takes to get, and we just talked a lot about it and looked at the different scenarios and ways that we can play it out and it just makes a lot more sense for us to be there because this company that I'm with now, I'm probably going to finish with, which is another seven years, I'm figuring give or take, I feel like a couple more.

and so it just works better for a famous situation to be over there.

We go over there every other week because my wife likes Meyer for shopping, the gals probably get that.

She got used to that over in Rockford and we were in Michigan.

And so we go over there every other week as it is.

Why doesn't he go back over there?

It's all solidified groceries.

Yeah, he's gotten that.

My mom's situation is solidified a little bit.

She's still at home and everything, but you know, my brother is here, she's got sisters that are here, it's like that. So it's not as pertinent that we be physically here all the time.

And so it just, it's what we've discussed and got open the door and there's a ministry opportunity. I'm real excited about the Chicatoland area that I'm working with now too.

and so on. A lot of stuff takes me that correction to myself. There's just not time for everything.

Scott, I'd love to continue. It's been a joy being part of this, except for one thing you all know.

It's been a struggle. It's been fun working with all of y'all. So I'm going to be here next month yet. I committed to Scott when all this went down and out because of the rent back and the way tiny works. I can't really make it into April because we would be gone by then. So, but Mark shouldn't be moving physically until probably later part of March of the next with patients.

You were instrumental in the whole nursing fault. I appreciate all the work you did.

Dale, I think that was a God thing, man. I went through all that stuff with my wife's grandparents and learned a ton about that and so it was I was kind of prepared for it on that side of things and I just I'll probably make a statement if the chairman allows me before I start covering the board in March as I I don't understand the way people look at that from the other side that you're just because they have to want to have control it doesn't make any sense to me that business at this point. It just doesn't make sense to have an accounting problem. It just doesn't. You know, three years ago, yeah, maybe, maybe that was different. Well, really, I'm hoping that the public gets that at some point, because I think they're going to be lied to a lot.

And they're going to be told, oh, we need to hang on to it, because it's ours, all this crap.

You see any signs, it just makes no sense. You know, you got to understand the business that that you're in and it's changed, you know, over the last three years.

It's not something, you don't really know what the heck you're doing and what people change on these committees every two years takes no sense for us to be part of, so I'm not selling you any, but anyway, that would be my, anything from administration, if Larry's not here, you know, anything else on that?

I could just talk about, we had action items of approving a walking program through Empowered to run parallel to our wellness screenings.

And that was, I forgot to talk about it in the report, which is what I went out to talk to Ms. McBride about.

She looked it over.

She thought it was a good idea to get everybody moving.

And we're going to run that.

So that'll be before you explore a line with that.

By a wheelchair wellness center.

Nurturing center, 78.

78 census, a new assistant for director of nursing was hired on, a new business office manager was also added to the team and everything is good moving and moving forward.

Just three things, three things to be brought before the committee for a more random agreement for police, for civilian police, for law enforcement, for Patrick, one is a statement about the employee will not receive seniority while off work, pay for and nothing like that. Do you even agree to it?

So, yeah, no choice. The correction for Erwin Corey, who was mistakenly placed on a list due to incorrect number of servers and get calculated, ERT receiving time at half, cop ties with training.

and Dan. That's pretty much all. This calls for freedom of fraternity or the police. It's a new union for the sheriff office, which must be stated, sir.

Thank you, sir. Court Services?

Everything's moving along. Placed it.

All in the notes.

All right.

Planing it all.

So, there will be a special use stalling from it's coming to the whole board and we just did the five-year.

I don't know.

I thought it worked.

All right, does it work?

Well, it got a little chilly out at the highway department during that cold snap.

I had to get down to 61 degrees because a couple of heaters quit.

So, there is a, we've just approved last, you name it, a RFP for HVAC.

New units being put in the roof.

So we'll see where that goes.

They've been doing some fresh work and preparation on Orangeville Road because that's going to be resurfaced in the summer, so soft.

And otherwise it's pretty quiet at the highway.

So Animal Control is working on moving, relocating from the animal hospital over to their new building.

So, yeah, thanks for moving along.

Cool.

Yeah, that's going to be so nice.

And that's what I was much, but getting in and out of that place too is just all, most stations, Chairman, Mr. Bush, I have a motion to adjourn. I have a second. I have a second. Any discussion? All those in favor say aye. Aye. Aye. Opposed? Thank you very much. Thank you. Mr. Snipes, how are you? Sir, how are you? Doing well. Better than I deserved. Well, yeah, that's all right. That's all right. You're still working out?
