We'll go into our departmental reports. First one is animal control. 00:01:37.980 --> 00:01:57.980 I'm sorry, public comment. No, that's fine. I'm sorry. No, you're good. Okay. Um, in March, we took seven cats in. Three were surrenders. Three were city strays. One was returned. It was adopted previous month. 00:01:57.980 --> 00:02:04.140 month. Um, five were transferred to rescue, or sorry, three were transferred to rescues, 00:02:04.140 --> 00:02:11.580 four were, um, are still adoptable. Our dog intake was nine dogs to surrender, seven, uh, county 00:02:11.580 --> 00:02:17.580 strays. Um, five of those dogs are adoptable, two were reclaimed and two went to rescue. 00:02:18.620 --> 00:02:25.580 Our current, um, animal inventory is 14 adoptable cats, two are on hold, 00:02:25.580 --> 00:02:35.819 on hold. Dogs, we have 21 adaptable, one foster and three on hold. Two of those are Jessica's 00:02:35.819 --> 00:02:44.939 Jones' court date dogs. Today we went to court. She is claiming that the Great Dane, the one 00:02:44.939 --> 00:02:51.659 that we were mainly charging her, was not her dog. There is no way we can prove it was 00:02:51.659 --> 00:03:01.699 her dog. So I asked if we could just have her at least sign the Chihuahua over. And 00:03:01.699 --> 00:03:10.300 since she's not claiming the Great Dane, then we've had it for July of 24. Nobody's reclaimed 00:03:10.300 --> 00:03:15.780 the dog. So he's ours then if she's claiming it's not hers. So she did sign the Chihuahua 00:03:15.780 --> 00:03:22.419 over. So both dogs are ours now to go ahead, adopt them out, neuter them, rescue, whatever 00:03:22.419 --> 00:03:28.580 we feel fit. It's not the outcome I would have liked, but these dogs have been with 00:03:28.580 --> 00:03:34.819 us long enough. We're not going to prolong it any longer. Andrew crisis cases were also 00:03:34.819 --> 00:03:42.580 today. He did get a continuance on them. I don't know the date of that. I believe it 00:03:42.580 --> 00:03:46.539 it was June for an hour bench trial. 00:03:48.180 --> 00:03:51.560 Mary Manke, which is the Cocker case. 00:03:52.500 --> 00:03:55.060 She somehow did not do something. 00:03:55.060 --> 00:03:58.939 I believe it might been the mental health part of the case. 00:03:58.939 --> 00:04:01.379 So that's back in court 512. 00:04:02.340 --> 00:04:03.180 She's been paying 00:04:03.180 --> 00:04:05.180 and I don't think she has more than two dogs. 00:04:05.180 --> 00:04:06.939 So that's the only thing I can think of 00:04:06.939 --> 00:04:10.759 that was part of her order was the mental health. 00:04:12.580 --> 00:04:19.579 Other things, unfortunately I was in an accident with the work van. We're still waiting on insurance. 00:04:19.579 --> 00:04:28.579 However, Bakker Auto Group donated a 2007 uplander van with 94,000 miles on it. 00:04:28.579 --> 00:04:36.579 It was originally owned by an older couple, very well maintained. I think we'll have many, many years on it. 00:04:36.579 --> 00:04:40.579 I've driven it about a week now, I think it's been licensed. 00:04:40.579 --> 00:04:55.579 It's running good, perfect. It's basically the same as the old van, a little longer front end I got to get used to, but no, it's running really good. I'm very thankful for Delbert and his group for doing that. 00:04:55.579 --> 00:05:03.579 Otherwise, in the front of your pack, this truck came in yesterday. 00:05:03.579 --> 00:05:10.779 um I had Stephanie look into it because of the amount and it's a legit tracking number 00:05:11.819 --> 00:05:17.500 and so that went in the bank yesterday we're gonna give it a 30-day grace to make sure it's 00:05:18.139 --> 00:05:25.500 all legit. Where's it from? I don't think you've got I don't know if I sent you a copy of it or not 00:05:26.779 --> 00:05:33.019 yeah so we did some research um there is an 80 year old woman with that name in Pecatonica 00:05:33.019 --> 00:05:40.459 and I think that's probably where it came from. I'm going to send her a letter to thank her. Hopefully 00:05:40.459 --> 00:05:47.019 it's, I mean, if it's not her, she'll obviously say it's not her, but just because there's no way 00:05:47.019 --> 00:05:51.660 else to thank her. And I'd like to thank her for that donation. That was very generous and will 00:05:51.660 --> 00:06:21.579 14,890. So a whole bunch of things are going to get made. Yes. I'm like, let's see. And she could have a whole room. I'm thinking a bench outside. If I figure out, yes, I'm going to ask her what she would like. Yeah, seriously. Yeah. 00:06:21.660 --> 00:06:25.019 Cause I like maybe the isolation room could have a nice whatever. 00:06:25.019 --> 00:06:28.019 She wants to dedicate it to one of her past animals. 00:06:28.860 --> 00:06:30.379 That's a good thing. 00:06:30.379 --> 00:06:35.379 So I really want to find her and hopefully that's her impact. 00:06:35.379 --> 00:06:38.300 I'm thinking it is because that name is in this area. 00:06:38.300 --> 00:06:41.180 So I mean, I don't know. 00:06:43.540 --> 00:06:45.100 That's it for that. 00:06:45.100 --> 00:06:49.579 Things were the usual and an oil change on the old man. 00:06:51.660 --> 00:07:19.160 is it total? Oh, oh yeah. I've had 234,000. So yeah, I didn't use it. We haven't got any official word, but I don't think that Johnson's been out to it, but it's rest in pieces. I thought maybe, you know, and you just scraped something. No, no, tickets issue, but tickets issue. Yes, I got a ticket. 00:07:19.160 --> 00:07:23.160 So what was it that you were checking it for? 00:07:23.160 --> 00:07:37.480 Failure to reduce speed or avoid an accident, something like that. 00:07:37.480 --> 00:07:45.480 It was my fault. I had a coughing fit and by the time I realized they were stopped ahead of me, there was not enough time to stop. 00:07:45.480 --> 00:08:04.639 Stop. I, I tried, I floored the brakes. I meant there was no time. I was crushed. I got out of the van, hobbled to the lady and she was fine, but no, no. I had airbag related. 00:08:04.639 --> 00:08:11.879 I went to, Urgent Care, Georgia told me to go there just, you know, close to Expo. 00:08:12.000 --> 00:08:12.439 Yeah. 00:08:12.560 --> 00:08:17.680 And I, you know, learned from the airbags, but otherwise sore, obviously. 00:08:17.680 --> 00:08:21.839 But, and I called the lady that was in the accident with me and she was fine. 00:08:21.839 --> 00:08:25.920 And I called her like, I think two days later and she was doing fine. 00:08:25.920 --> 00:08:32.879 And so unfortunately, trust me, that's the last thing I want to happen. 00:08:32.879 --> 00:08:48.000 I'm sure. My record was beautiful. Um, anyways, yeah. So I met, we got a man, um, got it licensed, went to Mary's and got it licensed and it's insured and everything's good on it. 00:08:48.720 --> 00:09:01.840 Um, tires looked good. Um, this is a question, I guess. Okay. We pulled the seats out. Can we dispose of the seats or do we need to keep the seats? We're never going to use the seats. 00:09:01.840 --> 00:09:08.720 So what we did right now is we put the seeds in the old vans because that's going to get totaled and taken away. 00:09:08.720 --> 00:09:12.919 So why not? But I didn't know it was donated. 00:09:12.960 --> 00:09:14.080 Don't ask, don't tell. 00:09:14.120 --> 00:09:18.440 Okay. It was who's going to ever use them? 00:09:22.440 --> 00:09:23.440 It's your new bench. 00:09:27.639 --> 00:09:28.440 Yeah, thank you. 00:09:28.440 --> 00:09:39.120 No, that's all right. I was thinking somebody had mentioned one of the bars bobbers uses 00:09:39.120 --> 00:09:50.799 old seats. I'm like, I said, we just go away. Anyways, the weekly intakes. Like I said, 00:09:50.799 --> 00:09:55.919 the pickups, we really haven't been getting. I've been picking up dogs. They just haven't 00:09:55.919 --> 00:09:58.159 We've been getting very blamed, unfortunately. 00:09:58.159 --> 00:10:00.159 We've had a lot of dumb thoughts. 00:10:00.159 --> 00:10:07.519 He's had a lot of dogs. I think the one day, end of the month, I picked up three dogs one day. 00:10:09.360 --> 00:10:16.320 One cat for bite order and nobody's coming to get these dogs. They're just, I don't know, 00:10:17.600 --> 00:10:22.480 springtime we usually pick up on pickups, but they also get picked up by their owner. So I don't, 00:10:23.279 --> 00:10:27.279 people are just in a rough spot that they just can't afford them anymore. 00:10:28.000 --> 00:10:35.000 So you've got about 35 animals right now, 14 cats, 21 dogs? 00:10:35.000 --> 00:10:38.000 Yeah, as of this report, it's gone down. 00:10:38.000 --> 00:10:45.000 So what capacity do you have? I mean, at what point do you no longer take animal? 00:10:45.000 --> 00:10:50.000 We're no longer taking dogs right now, other than stray, our strays, our county strays. 00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:53.000 So what's your total capacity right now? 00:10:53.000 --> 00:10:58.000 We're at it right now with the, I would say 25 dogs. 00:11:00.259 --> 00:11:01.100 Yeah. 00:11:02.360 --> 00:11:06.840 25 dogs, 14 cats, 15 cats. 00:11:06.840 --> 00:11:08.080 We could do more cats, 00:11:08.080 --> 00:11:11.000 but 25 dogs is the highest we can double. 00:11:11.000 --> 00:11:12.480 So how many cats did you take 00:11:12.480 --> 00:11:14.919 if you can not take more than 25 dogs? 00:11:14.919 --> 00:11:16.360 How many cats did you take? 00:11:19.549 --> 00:11:20.789 Probably about the same. 00:11:21.990 --> 00:11:24.069 So 50 animals, give or take? 00:11:24.069 --> 00:11:37.129 probably. Thank you. But, um, on the cats we have, we have, I think there's actually 00:11:37.129 --> 00:11:44.970 not even 14 cats right now. Um, we have four kittens, four kittens, an adult cat born at 00:11:44.970 --> 00:11:51.769 Anderson Humane Society on Saturday, and I think three cats born to Iowa County Humane 00:11:51.769 --> 00:12:03.529 Sadie on Saturday. So we just, the cats, we can move out dogs. We're just, everybody's so full that for some reason the cats are moving right now and the dogs are just sitting everywhere. 00:12:03.529 --> 00:12:17.289 Transcriber's full. I had somebody call me yesterday wanting to sign a nine month old dog over. I'm like, I can't, what, what am I supposed to do? I'm like, I don't know. We can't take any more in. I, and if we don't have room, we can't take them. I. 00:12:17.289 --> 00:12:19.850 and where are you taking the other ends? 00:12:19.850 --> 00:12:26.210 Um, Iowa County, which is Dodgeville, Wisconsin is taking three cats. 00:12:26.210 --> 00:12:30.049 And then Anderson Cummine is in Elgin. 00:12:30.250 --> 00:12:31.450 And they're coming to get them? 00:12:31.690 --> 00:12:36.529 Um, there's transports going that way from other shelters. 00:12:36.569 --> 00:12:36.889 Okay. 00:12:36.889 --> 00:12:39.889 So it's coming, picking them up and taking them, not delivering. 00:12:39.889 --> 00:12:40.250 No. 00:12:49.930 --> 00:12:52.250 Any questions on the weekly? 00:12:53.529 --> 00:13:17.740 and then Medals Drive really didn't change a whole lot. I did have LA Taxes do a $250 check for, it's a cat condo price but she says whatever, she doesn't really care, she just did the $250 so she can, she doesn't care what it goes to. 00:13:17.740 --> 00:13:26.269 Any other questions, guys? 00:13:26.269 --> 00:13:30.269 Is there anyone else? It's good. Okay, thank you. 00:13:30.269 --> 00:13:36.269 Thank you. All right, we're going to go ahead and do our highway reports. Thank you. 00:13:36.269 --> 00:13:39.269 Oh, that's got to go first. See you. 00:13:39.269 --> 00:13:44.269 On the last month, I guess it started out, I think, after our last meeting, we ended up 00:13:44.269 --> 00:13:50.269 falling, I think, for three days. I mean, that's most of them after that next week. 00:13:50.269 --> 00:13:57.149 and then since then we've been cleaning curb and gutters in some of the smaller towns where we 00:13:57.149 --> 00:14:04.909 maintain them, working on shoulders, patching potholes, started sweeping intersections this week 00:14:05.710 --> 00:14:12.669 and we did do some cutting brush with the boom mower, cleaned up some downed trees from high winds 00:14:12.669 --> 00:14:27.379 and started maintenance on the, or taking piles off, painting the front of them to get the trucks ready for some work. 00:14:27.379 --> 00:14:31.379 Any other information? All right. 00:14:31.379 --> 00:14:39.379 You got the department updates in front of you. I've highlighted our construction work that has changed since the last meeting. 00:14:39.379 --> 00:14:44.379 I'm still waiting for a letting date for the Cedarville and Dakota Road projects. 00:14:44.379 --> 00:15:04.379 We executed a joint agreement on February 19th, it's down in Springfield, then on our desk, waiting for them to fully execute it so we can let the project, and I've been on the district, and they're waiting to sign a flexible, so I don't know what that means. 00:15:04.379 --> 00:15:24.379 So as soon as they sign the agreement, then we can go to letting on the city bill, and I'm packaging the Dakota Road with it. That's totally local funding, but I want to do them both together because they're both filled up reclamation jobs. So we'll get better bids if we get them both at the same time. 00:15:24.379 --> 00:15:32.379 The West Point Bridge was let earlier this week, and then we got a second one. 00:15:32.379 --> 00:15:36.059 Uh, the preliminary plans were submitted and we're going to have another, uh, 00:15:36.100 --> 00:15:38.379 leg spring, uh, lending for that project. 00:15:38.579 --> 00:15:41.579 So I can't let them at the same time because they're in the same road. 00:15:41.819 --> 00:15:45.299 We have to open up the one before we can let the open up the other one. 00:15:45.299 --> 00:15:46.740 Otherwise we'll landlock somebody. 00:15:47.180 --> 00:15:53.420 So, um, monthly or yearly overweight permits, uh, right now, the only permit 00:15:53.420 --> 00:15:55.579 process we have is per use permit. 00:15:55.940 --> 00:15:59.299 And it hasn't been a problem to date until we got a phone call this week 00:15:59.299 --> 00:16:07.700 from St. Place about somebody who's an overweight hauler hauling raw milk products to a kid. 00:16:07.700 --> 00:16:14.500 Two trips a day, six days a week, he's hauling $110 to $120 a bottle. 00:16:14.500 --> 00:16:15.819 You want to share a little bit? 00:16:15.819 --> 00:16:19.220 He just called. 00:16:19.220 --> 00:16:25.299 The state cop had stopped in earlier late last year at one point, which is kind of curious 00:16:25.299 --> 00:16:37.819 on a permit process because he stopped a trucker, a milk hauler, and said that they're hauling 00:16:37.819 --> 00:16:45.500 two times a day, six days a week, and when they're loaded, they're about $120,000. And 00:16:45.500 --> 00:16:52.460 up until this time, they said which contractor it was, and we had never gotten a permit from 00:16:52.460 --> 00:17:01.180 and so it had gone basically through October and I didn't know, I can't contact, he didn't have any 00:17:01.180 --> 00:17:08.299 information on who the contractor was or anything like that and then he came in earlier and brought 00:17:08.299 --> 00:17:15.579 in like the permit that they get from the state which is a thousand dollars a year per truck 00:17:15.579 --> 00:17:23.779 Rock, and it's supposed to be only on the highway or state roads, not local roads. 00:17:23.779 --> 00:17:33.779 So I contacted, I went off the permit, so I contacted that, it's TIA Trucking. 00:17:33.779 --> 00:17:40.420 So I contacted them and his first response was they have basically have a permit for 00:17:40.420 --> 00:17:41.420 state roads. 00:17:41.420 --> 00:17:46.779 and I was like well that's the state roads that doesn't include the local roads and he's like 00:17:47.500 --> 00:17:53.339 so then he replied to that he's like after more looking into it you're I was incorrect so it does 00:17:53.339 --> 00:17:59.180 it's not included in the the price because he thought it was if you're delivering within so far 00:17:59.180 --> 00:18:06.700 of a state road it's included on the permit. It's in full type on the state permit says this does 00:18:06.700 --> 00:18:08.259 does not include local roads. 00:18:08.259 --> 00:18:10.139 You have to contact local authorities. 00:18:10.139 --> 00:18:12.139 And they just, a lot of them, they just ignore it, 00:18:12.139 --> 00:18:14.019 say, oh, they think it's good. 00:18:14.019 --> 00:18:14.860 Yeah. 00:18:14.860 --> 00:18:17.900 Yeah, so I guess the question is, do we want it? 00:18:17.900 --> 00:18:20.259 Do we want to go through trying to set up 00:18:20.259 --> 00:18:22.819 a monthly or yearly permit process? 00:18:22.819 --> 00:18:26.460 Or do we just say, he has to follow the same procedure 00:18:26.460 --> 00:18:27.299 as everybody else? 00:18:27.299 --> 00:18:30.099 And because we have local contractors that, 00:18:30.099 --> 00:18:34.500 like Fisher, for example, they do quite a few each year 00:18:34.500 --> 00:18:43.700 and if we're, I guess if we're going to do this for a non-local contractor, do we do 00:18:43.700 --> 00:18:54.299 it for local contractors and so on and that size of a load is $300 a program and realistically 00:18:54.299 --> 00:19:00.099 that doesn't cover the damage that it's probably doing to the road. 00:19:00.099 --> 00:19:03.740 and you're saying three sounds a year? 00:19:03.740 --> 00:19:07.139 No, no, for years, for two a day. 00:19:07.139 --> 00:19:09.259 And he's been, I mean, he's got, 00:19:09.259 --> 00:19:12.440 and the state cap basically said 00:19:12.440 --> 00:19:16.960 when he was talking to this trucker, 00:19:16.960 --> 00:19:18.820 there was another one that was coming through 00:19:18.820 --> 00:19:20.980 and they were going on 20. 00:19:20.980 --> 00:19:23.019 And I'm assuming they go 20 to Kent. 00:19:24.299 --> 00:19:28.039 And this one was coming off of 73, going on Dublin. 00:19:28.039 --> 00:19:33.039 So this company is just doing it twice a day, six days a week. 00:19:33.940 --> 00:19:34.779 What's that? 00:19:34.779 --> 00:19:35.619 What was that? 00:19:35.619 --> 00:19:37.200 Contractor Tifton. 00:19:37.200 --> 00:19:38.519 No, I don't. 00:19:38.519 --> 00:19:39.360 He was not. 00:19:39.360 --> 00:19:41.200 I think that's $300, $600 a week. 00:19:41.200 --> 00:19:43.720 But how did they know how they were being employed? 00:19:43.720 --> 00:19:47.840 Because the officer spoke with them, like talked to them. 00:19:47.840 --> 00:19:50.559 Like he pulled them over and just gave them a warning. 00:19:50.559 --> 00:19:52.519 So he gave them that information voluntarily. 00:19:52.519 --> 00:19:54.240 He didn't have to wait until after. 00:19:54.240 --> 00:19:56.759 Yeah, I mean, like the permit that was sent 00:19:56.759 --> 00:19:58.000 that they had. 00:19:58.000 --> 00:20:11.000 I was sent that they had said it was like 110,000 pounds or whatever, but the officer told me that the guy basically said it was around 104 to 110,000 pounds. 00:20:11.000 --> 00:20:18.000 So it's like three truckloads instead of him doing it twice, they need to be like having a truck. 00:20:18.000 --> 00:20:26.279 And realistically, I mean, like, the top, Dublin and Cannes, I mean, those are 80,000 pounds, but or 73,280. 00:20:26.279 --> 00:20:31.599 73,280. So they're not designed to handle 110, 120,000 pounds. 00:20:31.599 --> 00:20:37.440 And you're permitting local companies know that they have to get permits. 00:20:37.440 --> 00:20:41.799 Yeah. So when Fishery asks for a permit, we give them for use permit. 00:20:41.799 --> 00:20:44.599 So every time he hauls, he gets a permit. 00:20:44.599 --> 00:20:51.960 so but this is a kind of an unusual situation where he he's reached 12 permits per week and 00:20:51.960 --> 00:20:57.480 wow he hasn't he's got one permit and he hasn't gotten anything else he's got his load down 00:20:58.359 --> 00:21:02.119 was that the other day he's going to cut his load down yeah that's the other option is just 00:21:03.000 --> 00:21:09.960 don't go overweight and how do you monitor this yeah you're sticking with the road saying okay 00:21:09.960 --> 00:21:18.759 That comes down to an enforcement. That's the Sheriff's Office. Okay. Now we have the scales. 00:21:20.759 --> 00:21:27.000 Yeah, we have the scale for it. So let me ask, do you anticipate that there are many other companies 00:21:27.000 --> 00:21:36.359 that are doing the same thing and you need a new department? I have no idea. There might be other 00:21:36.359 --> 00:22:06.360 what happens when they get a state permit? I'll get like, not these yearly ones. I don't get notification for this, but if they, if somebody gets a state permit and it's going on a township road or a county road, I'll get like an email from the state, like showing me the permit. And then if I notice that they don't, if I have time and notice that they haven't gotten a local permit, I'll send an email to the county. 00:22:06.360 --> 00:22:12.839 contact on the, the permit three times out of 10, maybe they'll get a permit. 00:22:12.839 --> 00:22:17.240 But realistically, we have no, I can't, we can't enforce it. 00:22:17.960 --> 00:22:21.599 So you can't drive this road without giving a permit. 00:22:22.880 --> 00:22:28.200 But until they get caught, and even then, I, oh, sorry. 00:22:28.200 --> 00:22:32.160 If they'll give up ticket, if they get caught, I mean, this contractor got 00:22:32.200 --> 00:22:36.160 caught and still hasn't twice and he still hasn't gotten tickets. 00:22:36.160 --> 00:22:40.599 So you say the sheriff of Miami Stanley can enforce this. 00:22:40.599 --> 00:22:43.279 So does the sheriff write overweight tickets? 00:22:43.279 --> 00:22:46.160 Sheriff can write them, the state police can write them. 00:22:46.160 --> 00:22:48.880 They can write them, but didn't write this guy wrong. 00:22:48.880 --> 00:22:52.389 They did, but they have in the past. 00:22:52.389 --> 00:22:53.910 Two separate issues though, right? 00:22:53.910 --> 00:22:54.910 It is, right. 00:22:54.910 --> 00:22:59.269 So we definitely do not want overweight trucks 00:22:59.269 --> 00:23:02.509 on our roads, and roads are bad enough as they are, 00:23:02.509 --> 00:23:05.349 severely underfunded to repair. 00:23:05.349 --> 00:23:14.349 My personal opinion is absolutely there needs to be permits because you're trying to get people to not do what they're doing. 00:23:14.349 --> 00:23:18.349 The other side of it, that's public property and safety. 00:23:18.349 --> 00:23:27.349 That's talking to the sheriff who's an elected official and asking them to be looking for this type of thing. 00:23:27.349 --> 00:23:31.349 There are two separate issues. 00:23:31.349 --> 00:23:47.349 Well, so am I understanding correctly, we already have a policy in place, but it's been kind of used as needed, point by point, because this would be such a continuous use, that's what makes the situation unique? 00:23:47.349 --> 00:23:59.349 Correct. I mean, in reality, he'd have to get 12 permits per week at $300 a pop, so $3,600. 00:23:59.349 --> 00:24:01.349 It would be. 00:24:01.349 --> 00:24:08.349 So, he won't do it because his state permit is $1,000, so he'll just have to haul $80,000. 00:24:08.349 --> 00:24:09.349 Which is really gross. 00:24:09.349 --> 00:24:10.349 Right. 00:24:10.349 --> 00:24:14.349 At the end of the day, we don't want to make money off of this. 00:24:14.349 --> 00:24:24.349 I'm inclined to keep the policy as it is, but I just wonder, I want to see your feelings on what to do with that. 00:24:24.349 --> 00:24:30.349 Leaving it alone, can I just say, is leaving it alone seems to be more of a hardest work to make a new right. 00:24:30.349 --> 00:24:38.349 If we can then talk to our public safety about doing a few checks to make, to put some pressure on. 00:24:38.349 --> 00:24:44.389 that's not putting any pressure on by making it yearly but we can talk to our other department 00:24:44.389 --> 00:24:50.309 about doing a few currency checks that might help them to put that other truck in play 00:24:50.309 --> 00:24:57.750 like you said because they need to be having another loan to try to enforce this or something 00:24:57.750 --> 00:25:07.509 so from the cheese factory that would do it about 100 percent yep and actually even the 00:25:07.509 --> 00:25:12.309 Stapleys have been very cooperative ones. If we let them know that somebody's run or overloaded, 00:25:13.029 --> 00:25:17.750 they'll get out there and check it. They'll need a couple of tickets. Yeah, it's not going to take 00:25:17.750 --> 00:25:21.509 much. You could probably send a letter to the cheesetap and say, listen, we're going to start 00:25:21.509 --> 00:25:26.630 checking in here. Got to help up here. They don't get anything much. I think the driver's going to 00:25:26.630 --> 00:25:31.670 get tickets. It's going to have the trucker's license and his insurance for the tickets. So 00:25:32.710 --> 00:25:36.309 that's their livelihood. There was a super load that went through 00:25:37.509 --> 00:25:44.630 I got township and sheriff stated please slow them over and I got a phone call from the 00:25:44.630 --> 00:25:49.750 turkey company the next day asking if there's anything I can do about his $30,000 ticket 00:25:50.869 --> 00:25:56.150 because he was running $190,000. I think it was like 250 like was it yeah I think it was like 00:25:56.150 --> 00:26:02.630 two arcs and I think there's a couple yeah I think there was one that had already gone through the 00:26:02.630 --> 00:26:05.630 This one actually got stuck. 00:26:05.630 --> 00:26:06.630 So there was multiple. 00:26:06.630 --> 00:26:09.630 It wasn't just that one. 00:26:09.630 --> 00:26:11.630 These guys know what they're doing. 00:26:11.630 --> 00:26:12.630 They do. 00:26:12.630 --> 00:26:14.630 They try to pull their... 00:26:14.630 --> 00:26:16.630 Say, oh, I didn't know it. 00:26:16.630 --> 00:26:17.630 They both print. 00:26:17.630 --> 00:26:21.630 They know. 00:26:21.630 --> 00:26:24.630 We can bring it up to... 00:26:24.630 --> 00:26:28.630 That'll help us to know what we can do here. 00:26:28.630 --> 00:26:30.630 I think the policy probably checks out. 00:26:30.630 --> 00:26:50.230 Ben Tabbs, I think you've got them in your packet. We had a lighting for the first west 00:26:50.230 --> 00:26:59.269 point Boundstep bridge. We have one, two, three, five bidders. Low bid was 655,430, which 00:26:59.269 --> 00:27:01.990 which is about 3% over the engineer's estimate. 00:27:01.990 --> 00:27:06.990 So it's, thumbs are within 5% or it's, it's a little close. 00:27:08.630 --> 00:27:12.069 And so we had some good vids for that bridge. 00:27:12.069 --> 00:27:14.190 And then we had, on the same day, 00:27:14.190 --> 00:27:18.990 we had our material letting for our pavement preservation 00:27:18.990 --> 00:27:21.509 project on Orangeville Road. 00:27:21.509 --> 00:27:24.910 And we had good vids for that 00:27:24.910 --> 00:27:27.150 and they're under the engineer's estimate. 00:27:27.150 --> 00:27:30.549 so that material will be as a wordable. 00:27:33.950 --> 00:27:36.869 Last thing was the good news for the county. 00:27:36.869 --> 00:27:39.789 We received a rural and tribal assistance grant 00:27:41.230 --> 00:27:44.670 for $523,915. 00:27:44.670 --> 00:27:46.710 That was for preliminary engineering 00:27:47.710 --> 00:27:51.389 for the roundabout at Cedarville Road and Toledo Road. 00:27:51.389 --> 00:27:54.789 The grant is only for preliminary engineering work. 00:27:54.789 --> 00:28:03.630 It was one of 50 projects awarded in the country, and there were two of your favorite ones. 00:28:03.630 --> 00:28:09.789 Boone County got one for some brick bundling project, and we got ours for a roundabout. 00:28:09.789 --> 00:28:18.150 And it's 100% funding, so it'll cover all of the phase one and phase two for the design 00:28:18.150 --> 00:28:20.630 of the new roundabout. 00:28:20.630 --> 00:28:24.910 So then, and this is a federal fund, so that takes about two years. 00:28:24.910 --> 00:28:33.710 So for FY 2028, we'll pursue the safety funds for the construction of it. 00:28:33.710 --> 00:28:41.829 HSIP loves, the federal safety funds love roundabouts, so I don't want to have a good 00:28:41.829 --> 00:28:43.230 shot at it. 00:28:43.230 --> 00:28:52.090 The estimate, I think it's inflated, but the preliminary engineering, the estimate was 00:28:52.090 --> 00:28:59.070 for the exact amount for construction of the roundabout, 3.4 million. 00:28:59.070 --> 00:29:04.509 So I think it will come in a little bit less than that, but I've got an engineer's estimate 00:29:04.509 --> 00:29:06.750 for the construction. 00:29:06.750 --> 00:29:14.429 So somewhere around 2028, we'll try to get funds to build it. 00:29:14.429 --> 00:29:17.389 So everything's moving pretty good along for that. 00:29:17.389 --> 00:29:19.150 So I would say I would follow the stage. 00:29:19.869 --> 00:29:23.389 No, it's a leader road and a senior road. 00:29:23.389 --> 00:29:24.750 Senior road, yeah. 00:29:24.750 --> 00:29:26.909 It's a kind of a skewed intersection. 00:29:26.909 --> 00:29:29.309 And we run into wetland. 00:29:29.309 --> 00:29:33.549 So it looks like roundabout is the most feasible alternative for that 00:29:33.549 --> 00:29:40.429 because you have to try to stay away from the solar farm, the railroad tracks, the wetlands, 00:29:41.150 --> 00:29:51.309 the storage place right there. And there's a tall power pole right there too. 00:29:54.660 --> 00:30:10.509 I think that's it, any questions for Dale to add to our budget report? 00:30:10.509 --> 00:30:15.509 Everything is looking good, we haven't gotten into the construction season yet. 00:30:15.509 --> 00:30:20.509 Also, everything's online with that so far. 00:30:20.670 --> 00:30:23.910 So, I'll see if anybody else sees anything 00:30:23.910 --> 00:30:30.700 that they've noticed that construction season 00:30:31.819 --> 00:30:34.380 hasn't really started yet, so we're all. 00:30:34.380 --> 00:30:35.220 I should. 00:30:35.220 --> 00:30:36.039 All right. 00:30:36.039 --> 00:30:36.880 Thank you. 00:30:36.880 --> 00:30:37.720 Thank you. 00:30:38.779 --> 00:30:40.180 We're all business. 00:30:40.180 --> 00:30:43.859 So, we'll move to 8.0, new business, 00:30:43.859 --> 00:30:48.859 and 8.1 is HD2646 available. 00:30:50.500 --> 00:30:55.500 Yeah, this is at West Point Township Bridge. 00:30:55.619 --> 00:31:00.259 It's a township, it's a TPP project. 00:31:00.259 --> 00:31:05.259 And so that's 80-20 funding and now it's 100%. 00:31:06.819 --> 00:31:08.539 Now 100%, yeah, so. 00:31:08.539 --> 00:31:12.019 Engineering is 80-10-10. 00:31:12.019 --> 00:31:13.140 What construction is? 00:31:13.140 --> 00:31:18.140 Construction is 100%, so 655,000 is low bidder. 00:31:18.700 --> 00:31:21.079 Current construction is the contractor 00:31:21.079 --> 00:31:24.220 and they've done work for it before and they do a good job. 00:31:24.220 --> 00:31:28.789 So I recommend awarding it. 00:31:31.869 --> 00:31:33.190 Make a motion to approve. 00:31:33.190 --> 00:31:38.069 Motion by Larry, second by Moderow. 00:31:38.069 --> 00:31:39.829 All in favor say aye. 00:31:39.829 --> 00:31:40.670 Aye. 00:31:40.670 --> 00:31:41.650 Any opposed? 00:31:41.650 --> 00:31:42.650 Right. 00:31:42.650 --> 00:31:43.650 Good. 00:31:43.650 --> 00:31:44.650 Good. 00:31:44.650 --> 00:31:45.650 Sound it over. 00:31:45.650 --> 00:31:47.930 Thank you Dr. White. 00:31:47.930 --> 00:31:48.930 Thank you. 00:31:48.930 --> 00:31:49.930 Do you have additional information? 00:31:49.930 --> 00:33:06.610 I'm good. 00:33:06.610 --> 00:33:07.610 Good night. 00:33:07.610 --> 00:33:08.610 Thank you. 00:33:08.610 --> 00:33:09.610 It's supposed to be a point or two. 00:33:09.610 --> 00:33:10.610 Probe all the bids for the kennels and that's all. 00:33:10.610 --> 00:33:11.610 It's a big deal. 00:33:11.610 --> 00:33:12.610 It's a big deal. 00:33:12.610 --> 00:33:13.610 Information. 00:33:13.610 --> 00:33:14.610 Kennels. 00:33:14.610 --> 00:33:15.610 Oops, sorry. 00:33:15.610 --> 00:33:16.610 You got it. 00:33:16.610 --> 00:33:18.990 Good luck. 00:33:18.990 --> 00:33:39.160 So we only got one mid that came in and actually I compared it to the company I was originally 00:33:39.160 --> 00:33:46.200 looking at and they are actually under that company by the fact that the amount they quoted 00:33:46.200 --> 00:33:56.200 was with shipping and the amount that I was looking at the other place was 16,000 without shipping. 00:33:56.200 --> 00:34:03.200 So I had three companies contact me, only one sent the vet though. 00:34:03.200 --> 00:34:11.199 And this company actually works with government animal controls. 00:34:11.199 --> 00:34:15.199 So they know, you know what the panels need to be. 00:34:15.199 --> 00:34:22.000 um they have everything that the other kennels were going to have in it including like the bulls that 00:34:22.000 --> 00:34:27.199 swivel in that way you don't have to you can feed without actually going into the kennels 00:34:27.920 --> 00:34:32.639 um the special anti-fight design so the dogs aren't fence fighting 00:34:34.800 --> 00:34:45.539 um yeah so i did send them a diagram to all three companies that reached out of the kennels we were 00:34:45.539 --> 00:34:49.699 kind of looking at and so they had kind of an idea of what we were looking for. 00:34:53.779 --> 00:35:01.349 They're based out of Texas.
