Thank
you
ma'am
before
you,
you
hit
the
minutes
of
the
november
meeting.
What's
your
pleasure
so
mo.
Let's
support
begin,
we
have
motion
and
support
any
discussion.

I
I
Okay,
so,
as
you
all
know,
we
are
in
the
midst
of
a
surge
since
the
end
of
october,
and
we
want
to
talk
about
a
few
things
that
have
been
taking
place
in
the
last
few
weeks
and
I'm
going
to
start
off
with
this
graph
and
we're
going
to
start
off
kind
of
doing
this
clockwise
with,
on
the
right
hand,
side
with
case
investigation
and
tracing.
I
We
are
seeing
in
an
abnormally
large
number
of
cases
and
have
seen
an
abnormally
large
number
of
cases
since
the
end
of
october,
so
much
so
that
we've
had
to
prioritize
our
engagement
into
two
categories.
One
is
from
residents
who
of
age
0
to
22
because
of
the
school
age
and
the
potential
for
spread
within
the
schools,
and
also
residents
aged
60
and
over
for
obvious
reasons,
because
they
may
be
more
more
vulnerable
but,
more
importantly,
that's
the
largest
population
segment
here
in
bay
county
and,
as
I
said
before,
right
now.
I
As
far
as
reaching
out
and
speaking
with
them
personally,
we
limit
that
to
those
two
groups,
and
we
ask
that
the
adult
population
in
between
report
their
their
health
status
if
they
test
positive
via
our
online
case
investigation,
form
and
we've
had
varying
degrees
with
success.
With
that
we're
hoping
to
to
build
upon
our
success
with
that
in
the
future.
I
Currently,
our
test,
positivity
rate
is
17,
and
that
is
one
of
the
highest
rates
in
the
state
of
michigan.
Ideally,
it
should
be
one
percent
or
less
and
really
should
be
no
higher
than
10
percent.
Getting
above,
10
percent
gets
us
into
the
highest
population
category,
with
the
michigan
department
of
health
and
human
services
on
the
same
rate,
the
average
number
of
cases
per
million,
the
daily
rate
of
cases
per
million
over
time
is
about
610
per
9
and
that
ideal
rate
should
be
50
or
less,
and
just
to
give
you
some
perspective.
I
Two
months
ago,
at
the
beginning
of
october,
we
were
about
30
cases
per
million,
so
we've
actually
grown
pretty
the
number
of
cases
that
has
exponentially
grown
since
that
time
and
has
remained
high.
I
So
our
hospital
capacity
and
our
testing
capacity,
while
we
were
facing
we
are-
and
we
still
are
facing
some
strains
on
both
of
those
they
are
holding
up
presently,
but
it's
we
have
to
all
work
together
within
the
community
and
to
try
to
limit
the
spread
of
the
virus,
because
what
we
see
happen
is
that,
with
high
numbers
of
cases
that
will
usually
translate
within
a
week
or
two
into
high
hospitalization
rates
and
currently
at
mclaren
bay
region,
we're
looking
at
about
anywhere
of
an
average
of
about
80
to
90
persons
that
have
tested
positive
and
that
have
been
admitted
onto
an
inpatient
basis
at
mclaren
bay
region.
I
We
work
with
mclaren
bay
region.
We
talked
with
them
several
times
a
week
and
we
stand
by
them
and
ready
commit
ready
to
commit
resources,
whether
it's
extra
testing
capacity
or
trying
to
leverage
extra
capacity
from
the
state
of
michigan
as
well,
but
for
right
now,
they're
doing
they're
holding
their
own,
but
they
are
filled.
They
are
at
capacity
while
we
speak,
and
that
is
happening
too.
Regionally.
I
I
Time,
just
to
kind
of
give
you
some
perspective
of
perspective,
of
the
number
of
cases
that
we've
had
since
september.
You
know
in
the
beginning
of
august,
when
the
decision
was
made
to
put
a
pause
on
some
of
the
in-person
school,
we
thought
we
had
a
high
case
load.
Then
it
was
actually
a
little
over
200,
maybe
300
that
went
down
significantly
in
september
to
about
190
and
as
a
result,
that
number
actually
tripled
in
the
month
of
october
and
then
from
the
month
of
october
to
the
month
of
november.
I
That
time,
the
amount
of
confirmed
positive
cases
was
about
five
times
that
amount.
So
you
can
see
just
the
magnitude
of
where
we're
at
right.
Now
now,
in
this
first
week
of
december,
we
have
a
total
of
about
551
cases,
and
if
we
keep
things
up,
we
will
probably
be
on
par
to
just
being
a
little
over
2000,
maybe
2
500
through
the
month
of
december.
I
The
number
of
deaths
in
the
months
of
november
and
december
is
pretty
much
double
that
that
has
taken
place
since
the
beginning
of
the
pandemic,
and
one
of
the
things
that
one
of
the
questions
we
get
from
time
to
time
and
do
people
take
this
seriously
and-
and
it
really
depends-
but
I
do
want
to
point
this
out,
then
this
is
a
reason
why
people
should
take
this
seriously
and
to
give
you
some
historical
perspective
on
things
right
now
we
are
at
about
110,
maybe
about
115.
I
I
As
far
as
the
number
of
fatalities
go
to
cobit
19.,
the
number
of
fatalities
that
we
had
for
servicemen
during
world
war
ii
in
bay
county.
There
was
about
194
deaths
to
soldiers
and
sailors
to
bay
county
res
that
were
bay
county
residents
during
world
war
ii.
I
We
could
easily
surpass
that
here
in
the
month
of
december,
so
while
this
may
not
why
people
may
think
that
this
doesn't
affect
me
or
it
affects
you
know
just
older
people
or
people
that
aren't
as
healthy,
it
really
does
affect
all
of
us
and,
as
we
had
warned
from
the
beginning,
the
consequences
of
our
actions
can
have
catastrophic
can
be
catastrophic.
I
But
I
do
want
to
end
on
a
message
of
hope
and
of
what
and
and
to
give
you
some
perspective
as
to
what
we
are
doing
here.
We
are
not
only
trying
to
track
every
case
of
cobit
19,
but
we
are
actively
planning
and
preparing
to
provide
vaccines,
starting
in
the
coming
weeks.
I
I
I
This
is
not
something
that
the
hospital
can
do
alone
or
the
health
department
can
do
alone
or
just
the
health
department,
in
conjunction
with
the
hospital,
in
order
to
achieve
herd
immunity
that
is
to
basically
get
back
to
our
equilibrium
where
we
were
before
the
the
pandemic
erupted
here
in
bay
county,
we
need
to
vaccinate
up
to
70
000
residents
at
two
shots
each.
So
it's
140
000
shots
for
for
that
time
period.
This
is
the
largest
public
health
initiative
in
bay
county.
I
Just
to
give
you
some
perspective
on
the
number
of
shots
that
we
have
to
distribute,
we
normally
on
average
administer
about
4
500
shots
to
children
and
adults
here
in
the
bay
county
health
department
on
an
annual
average.
So
this
is
quite
an
exponential
number
of
shots
that
we
have
to
provide
and,
as
I
said
before,
the
largest
public
health
initiative
here
in
bay
county
history,
and
it
requires
the
coordination
and
cooperation
of
just
about
all
of
our
medical
providers,
our
businesses,
our
schools,
governments
and
other
organizations.
I
It's
going
to
require
precise
scheduling
and
administration
because
of
those
two
doses
and
once
you're
on
track
with
one
vaccine.
You
can't
mix
that
with
another
vaccine.
If
you
receive
a
moderna
vaccine,
you
have
to
finish
with
the
durian
vaccine.
If
you
receive
a
pfizer
vaccine,
you
have
to
finish
with
that
pfizer
vaccine
and
then
each
one
has
separate
dosing
schedules.
One
is
at
21
days,
as
I
mentioned
before,.
I
So,
as
I
said
before,
this
requires
an
immense
amount
of
coordination
and
cooperation
we'll
be
talking
about
that
later
on
during
the
board
meeting,
but
not
only
within
our
county
here,
but
within
our
neighboring
counties
in
the
region,
and
we
know
that,
based
on
our
previous
experience
with
other
flu
clinics
and
h1n1,
the
the
vaccines
that
we've
provided
for,
that,
we
can't
just
have
people
crowd
into
a
gym
or
a
large
auditorium
to
give
out
vaccine
we've
got
to
maintain
social
distancing.
I
I
Cooperating
with
saginaw
and
midland
counties
as
well,
and
we've
had
actually
a
few
meetings
already
with
them,
with
their
health
departments
and
with
other
providers
and
businesses
and
community
organizations
to
help
meet
this
goal.
Our
ultimate
goal
is
to
meet
these
metrics
by
july
4th
of
this
year.
I
I
would
love
to
see
that
we
would
have
a
firework
celebration
like
we
had
in
the
past,
and
you
might
say
that
this
is
a
pretty
a
pretty
tall
order
for
a
short
period
of
time
and,
yes,
it
is,
but
it's
something
that
we
can
measure
ourselves
and
strive
to
meet
in
that
in
that
time
period.
But
in
the
meantime,
we
still
all
have
to
do
our
part
by
wearing
a
mask
watching
our
distance,
washing
our
hands
using
appropriate
hygiene.
I
A
Joel
I
mike
duran
check
here.
Thank
you
very
much
for
the
presentation
and
my
question
is
the
refrigeration
is
required?
Have
you
do
you
have
the
refrigeration
or
the
storage
capacity
at
the
health
department
currently.
I
So
we
have
on
order
right
now:
we've
got
a
deep
freezer
that
is
capable
of
storing
the
pfizer
vaccine,
which
has
to
be
stored
at
70
degrees
centigrade.
That
should
be
here
by
the
beginning
of
2021,
the
first,
the
first
week
of
january.
I
We
have
some
limited
capacity
right
now
to
store
the
moderna
vaccine,
which
only
has
to
be
stored
at
negative
30
degrees
centigrade
and
that
actually
has
a
longer
shelf
life
once
it's
constituted
and
can
be
refrigerated
as
well.
So
we
can
extend
that
as
well,
but
we
are
extending
our
storage
capacity.
D
I
just
had
one
point:
I'm
trying
to
sell
the
vaccine
to
a
lot
of
people,
so
I
have
been
mentioning
that
this
is
a
different
vaccine.
This
is
a
messenger
rna,
it's
not
a
weakened
form
of
the
virus.
Some
people
seem
to
be
worried
that
the
previous
shots,
like
flu
shots,
are
a
weakened
form
of
the
virus.
But
this
is
this
is
a
different
entity.
I
You
you
are
correct,
commissioner,
those
those
the
pfizer
vaccine
and
the
moderna
vaccine
are
mrna-based
vaccines
and
they
are
not
weakened
forms
of
the
virus
or
they're
not
attached
to
another
type
of
virus
like
an
adenovirus
that
actually
will
be
coming
in
the
astrazeneca
vaccine.
If
it
is
approved.
I
One
of
the
major
concerns
which
is
unfounded
is,
if
I
take
an
mrna
vaccine,
will
that
mess
up
my
dna
and
the
answer
is
unequivocally:
no,
it's
not
going
to
cause
any
damage
to
any
person's
dna,
and
I
I
will
say
this
too.
I
am
very
confident
in
the
ability
of
fda
and
the
independent
oversight
boards
that
are
looking
at
the
vaccine
and
the
the
data
from
the
vaccine
and,
as
has
been
reported
countless
times,
these
vaccines
deep,
are
seem
to
be
safe
and
very,
very
effective.
Much
more.
L
Joel,
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
I
think
I've
heard
this
before,
but
like
it
reiterated
if,
if
people
I
know,
a
lot
of
people
have
had
the
the
covet
already
and
they
would
it'd
be
it'd,
be
a
good
idea
for
them
to
get
this
vaccine.
Also.
Even
though
they've
had
it
they've
been
exposed
to
it
and
have
been
treated
for
here
or
lived
through
the
coven
19
already.
I
E
I
So
what
we
can
say
for
certainty
right
now
is
about
five
percent
have
confirmed
positive
cases.
We
can
extrapolate
that
we
can
probably
double
that
number
and
it's
about
probably
10
overall
have
been
exposed
at
the
very
least.
Now.
The
good
question
is
of
those
people
that
either
have
confirmed
positive
cases
or
exposed
do
they
have
antibody
protection
that
is
sufficient
to
protect
them
from
further
reinfection,
and
at
this
point
in
time
we
cannot
say
that
with
certainty.
E
If
I
could
follow
up
on
that
you're
talking
about
70
of
immunity
or
hurt
immunity
by
july
at
what
point
prior
to
july,
if
the
vaccinations
start
late
in
december
or
january,
where
can
we
get?
Where
do
you
see
or
does
the
cdc
or
the
state
see
where
people
can
get
back
to
some
of
a
more
normal
life
than
we're
at
right?
Now,.
K
I
Reduction
in
the
number
of
of
infections
and
hospitalizations-
hopefully
that
will
come
fairly
soon
and
then,
with
the
number,
the
more
and
more
that
people
are
vaccinated
and
the
more
and
more
that
we
see
that
that
the
spread
has
pretty
much
been
blunted.
I
I'm
hoping
that,
as
I
said
before
in
the
first
part
of
june,
all
the
way
up
into
july
that
you
know
we
see
a
really
really
significant
reduction
in
those
cases.
Now
there
may
be
minor
cases
still
and
we
still
may
have.
We
still
will
probably
have
covid19
cases
throughout
the
year
even
past
july.
But
what
we're
hoping
to
see
is
that
the
severity
of
those
cases
has
really
been
blunted
and
that
the
death
rates
and
the
hospitalization
rates
come
down
almost
to
nothing.
J
As
we
know,
it's
happening
across
the
country
across
the
state,
and
it
is
because
I
think
you
know
some
people
are
facing
pandemic
fatigue
and
others.
You
know
still
maybe
question
whether
or
not
the
virus
is
real
or
injurious
to
human
health
can
and-
and
I
see
some
good
public
advertising
regarding
vaccinations.
J
What
is
the
legal
status
of
that,
and
also
are
you
seeing
progress
through
the
public
communication
and
messaging
relative
to
you
know
why?
Why
we're
seeing
the
surge
and
the
fact
that
close
contact-
and
you
know
family
celebrations
as
much
as
we
love
them
all-
have
been
a
contributing
factor
to
the
recent
rise
that
we've
seen
as
well
as
the
cold
weather?
You
know
it's,
it's
not
just
human
behavior.
J
It's
part
of
nature
too
we're
spending
more
time
inside
and
we're
and
we're
we're
seeing
the
onset
of
the
holiday
season
will
be
on
thanksgiving,
but
people
will
be
christmas
shopping.
More
people
are
doing
that
online.
But
do
you
see
increased
risk
as
people
begin
to
shop
for
the
holidays
and
then
celebrate
holidays
christmas
and
possibly
new
year's?
J
But
I
want
to
mostly
say
thank
you
joel
for
your
leadership
and
I
know
I've
gotten
questions
from
people
who
are
wondering
if
bay
county
isn't
doing
enough-
and
I
I
can
say
on
behalf
of
my
knowledge,
what
the
commission
has
done
and
what
our
cabinet
has
done
under
your
leadership
and
the
other,
the
other.
You
know
appointed
directors
in
bay,
county
government
from
central
dispatch
and
ryan
manns
and,
of
course,
chris
warski
and
the
sheriff
and
virtually
everyone
all
working
together
as
a
team
to
try
to
mitigate
the
harm
to
our
local
residents.
J
I
Well,
thank
you.
I
I.
I
appreciate
that
my
my
staff
very
much
appreciates
that
and
as
far
as
messaging
goes,
what
I've
seen
so
far
is
I've
had
very
little
experience
in
people
being
very
skeptical
about
the
vaccine.
I
think
that's
a
bright
light
of
hope
for
people
out
in
the
community,
and
I've
had
extensive
discussions
with
a
number
of
providers
and
and
folks
and
leaders
in
our
community
about
really
encouraging
people
to
get
vaccinated
and
to
do
everything
that
they
can
so
that
we
can
get
over
this.
I
Nobody
is
more
tired
of
this
pandemic
than
I
am,
and
you
know
the
key
thing,
as
I
said
before,
is
if
we,
if
we
give
people
a
goal,
if
we
give
our
residents
a
goal
and
and
provide
them
the
resources
and
the
opportunities
to
be
vaccinated
vaccinated
and
to
get
through
this
holiday
season
in
the
most
healthy
way
and
safely
possible,
we.
A
J
You
know
we're
watching
things
and
I
I
listen
to
our
experts
in
the
health
department,
dr
bender
and
and
director
strauss
and
others
as
well
as
members
of
the
community
and
something
that's
certainly
on
the
table
we'll
be
looking
at.
I
know
that
we've
been
keeping
the
county
open
only
partially
staffed,
most
all
of
the
work,
all
the
work
that
I
know
is
being
done
remotely
and
you
know
so
we're
so
far.
J
I
think
we're
doing
pretty
well,
but
we
will
monitor
that
situation,
mr
chairman,
and
see
exactly
what
happens
on
stimulus.
J
It
may
be
january
before
we're
likely
to
see
the
three
departments
of
the
federal
government
come
to
agreement,
both
the
executive
branch-
the
I
don't
mean
the
judicial,
but
the
senate
and
the
house
and
the
house
seems
to
be
anxious
to
pass
another.
J
And
I
understand
negotiations
are
continuing
with
the
senate
majority
leader
differences,
but
it
looks
like
it's
coming
together,
but
it
could
well
be
that
we're
looking
at
january
but
before
we
see
anything
concrete,
but
I
pledge
that
we
will
monitor
that
and
if
it
is
necessary
it
will
be
definitely
on
the
table
and
I'll
be,
of
course,
seeking
guidance
from
the
commission
as
well
as
my
department,
heads
and
particularly
director
strauss.
A
L
D
So
a
couple
points
number
15
page
six
talks
about
the
pay
and
we're
not
increasing
our
pay.
We've
got
that
frozen
the
travel
miles.
I
know
we've
had
some
disagreement
about
travel
miles
from
our
place
of
residence
to
the
county
building.
I
don't
think
we
should
be
paying
it,
but
apparently
we
we
can't
pay
it
or
we
are
paying
it
and
the
next
page
page
seven
number
20
the
per
diem.
D
I
disagree
with
the
per
diem
for
the
county,
commissioner,
since
we're
getting
a
salary
already,
I
agree
with
it
for
the
public
members
of
the
committees,
the
the
jury,
the
elections,
the
board
of
canvassers,
the
building
authority,
michigan
works,
midland
airport
and
the
department
of
human
services
are
getting
the
per
diem
pay.
I
think
we
should,
as
commissioners
should
not
be
getting
that,
but
I
will
still
vote
for
the
resolution
itself.
E
They,
you
know
it's
quite
a
involved
process
here
and
a
lot
of
pages,
a
lot
of
numbers,
and
you
know
for
us
guys
that
we
don't
work
there
on
a
day-to-day
basis,
just
to
get
some
questions
answered
and
to
take
an
initial
2
million
deficit
down
to
350
000.
That
went
through
a
lot
of
work
between
bob
and
kim
presidents
and
and
the
executive
as
well.
E
So
it's.
I
just
think
that.
E
G
C
H
F
F
L
J
We
would
surely
appreciate,
mr
chairman,
the
extension
and
we've
been.
As
commissioner
conan
mentioned.
We've
been.
It's
been
a
whole
lot
of
people
working
a
long
time
on
trying
to
stabilize
the
budget
by
accessing
all
the
federal,
all
federal
and
state
funding
available
and
yeah
this.
This.
I
wanted
to
thank
everyone
for
that,
and
and
and
just
say
that
if
we
have
an
extension
on
this,
we
will
not
be
abusing
that
we've
been
very
frugal.
J
Everything
has
been
submitted
to
finance
department
in
this,
which
our
finance
department
ensures
that
it's
covered
related
and
and
what
you've
done
earlier
has
helped
us,
I
think,
immensely
in
helping
keeping
our
even
though
we're
way
too
high.
It
would
have
been
much
worse
without
the
flexibility
that
the
county
board
than
the
department
heads
provided
by
making
sure
that
we
could
get
a
vitally
needed
ppp
or
ppe
and
and
other
items
we
needed
to
keep
the
county
building
open
and
functioning
and
not
a
danger
to
the
public
in
terms
of
infection
them
by
the
covet.
J
So
if,
if
the
warrant
could
extend
it,
we,
I
know
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
people
would
be
very
appreciative
and
we
have
not
abused
it.
And
I
I
don't
know
I
think
jan
has
could
maybe
comment
on
the
amount
of
money
that
has
been
recovered
in
the
first
150
000
that
that
you
so
graciously
appropriated
from
the
general
fund
or
excuse
me
from
the
stabilization
fund.
K
Of
the
stabilization
fund,
the
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
we've
currently
spent
a
hundred
and
125
thousand
four
hundred
of
that.
We
are
in
the
process
working
through
the
cdbg
covid
money
to
recoup
some
of
that
money,
and
we
don't
know
at
this
point.
It's
been
a
very
slow
process
through
the
state
trying
to
get
that
approved,
but
we
are
still
working
diligently
through
december
31st
trying
to
get
some
of
those
costs.
K
Relieved
we're
sitting
on
a
balance
of
24
000,
we're
asking
for
the
extension,
because
some
of
the
purchases
in
the
last
go-around
stated
may
and
we
need
have
made
purchases
since
then,
so
we're
just
looking
to
extend
it
to
december
31st
so
that
we
can
finalize
these
and
again
unless
there's
a
new
stimulus
package
that
comes
through.
These
will
be
our
final
funds
that
we
can
use
and
get
from
the
state
and
federal
government
to
recoup
our
costs.

Commissioner,
mcgick
just
want
to
mention
I'm
on
that
mission,
community
action
agency
board
and
they
have
a
lot
of
programs
like
this.
They
are
located
here
in
bay
city.
They
moved
across
the
street
recently
it's
at
the
end
of
washington
before
you
get
to
columbus
and
they
have
other
programs
beside
this
one
available.
So
people
can
take
advantage
of
that.

With
that,
I
think
I
lost
him,
but
from
the
board
of
commissioners.
Vice
chair,
commissioner
of
lots.
F
D
Notice,
debbie
keys
name
at
the
end
there.
I
know
she
ran
the
senior
olympics
she's
going
to
be
hard
to
replace,
as
is
all
the
employees
that
are
retiring
are,
but
especially
debbie
from
the
division
on
agent
and
the
senior
olympics.
B
F
B
F
F
L
A
J
Thank
you,
chairman
duran
check,
and
I
want
to
echo
the
sentiments
of
commissioner
begic
about
the
tremendous
service
that
debbie
keys
has
provided
our
county
and
is,
as
you
know,
is
retiring,
but
she
has
been
a
great
person
leading
our
efforts
at
making
a
better,
ensuring
a
better
quality
of
life
for
our
more
mature
residents
of
bay
county
and
offer
her.
My
congratulations
on
work
well
done
for
her
lengthy
service
for
the
bay
county
division
and
then
later
department
on
an
agent.
J
We
also
want
to
take
this
opportunity
to
unless
we
have
a
special
meeting.
This
may
be
the
last
meeting
of
2020
that
our
county
board
is
all
together,
and
I
want
to
take
this
opportunity
to
thank
commissioners,
lutz
ryder
and
durant
check
for
all
they've
done
in
their
26
combined
years
of
service
to
bay
county.
J
Many
people
do
not
understand
the
time
and
commitment
it
takes
to
fulfill
these
roles
of
public
service,
but
you
all
have
shown
dedication
and
determination
in
pursuit
of
making
bay
county
a
better
place
for
its
residents
and
on
behalf
of
the
residents
and
myself.
I
want
to
thank
especially
the
three
commissioners
who
are
pursuing
other
activities
in
the
next
chapter.
So
thanks
guys-
and
it's
been
great
working
with
you.
D
I
have
some
awards
here,
I'm
the
designated
presenter
here,
so
an
appreciation
to
michael
e,
lutz
for
dedicated
service
to
the
citizens
of
bay
county
as
the
7th
district
county.
Commissioner,
1-1
2013-1231-2020
bay
county
board
of
commissioners
he's
also
my
old
guy
for
a
home
comparison.
F
For
all
the
help
that
they've
been
to
me
and
my
abilities
to
do
my
job
as
funny
person,
they've
always
answered
my
questions.
They've
always
had
the
answers,
maybe
not
right
off
the
bat,
but.
F
D
D
D
A
Any
other
unfinished
business,
new
business,
health
department
information
we
received
resolution
number
2020-245,
all
the
commissioners.
There
was
a
request
from
the
joel
strauss
health
director,
I'm
looking
for
support
on
this.
What
it
amounts
to
is
some
much
needed
health
help
at
the
health
department.
A
B
F
F
D
H
H
H
B
D
D
Sometimes
it
gets
stuck
at
the
state
level,
but
they're
working
hard
to
get
the
funding
to
the
county
level,
hopefully
before
their
session's
over,
if
not
maybe
the
beginning
of
the
next
year,
but
they
are
working
on
some
funding
for
specific
for
counties
so
just
want
to
let
you
know.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
C
If
I
could,
as
kim
had
said
earlier,
I'd
like
to
say
thanks
to
the
county
exec
and
his
finance
department,
bob
redman
for
putting
this
budget
together,
you
know
in
past
years,
we've
always
gone
to
the
very
end
of
the
month
of
december
to
try
to
get
this
through
and
and
your
people
and
and
bob
have
worked
very
well
together.
C
To
make
this
happen,
and
of
course,
we
can't
forget
deanne
being
able
to
get
this
out
for
us
to
review
so
that
everybody
knows
what's
going
on
and
and
the
fact
that
we
can
answer
questions
and
get
answers
to
it.
So
again,
my
hat's
off
to
everyone
that
put
this
budget
together
to
make
sure
that
we
continue
to
provide
the
services
needed
for
the
residents
of
bay
county.
Thank
you.
A
This
is
another
point
of
interest
I
received
from
treasury
also
that
the
courts
all
their
grants
that
we
signed
for
and
everything
about,
two
or
three
weeks
ago,
have
all
been
approved
and
and
they
have
sent
back
the
documents
to
the
courts.
So
that's
another,
I
think,
for
the
2021
budget
for
courts
district
court
in
the
other
court.
A
Appointments
coming
up
in
november
building
authority,
we
already
took
care
of
that
december
department
on
we
have
appointments
district

douglas
dewald.
Excuse
me:
district
4,
sally
kaminsky,
district

mary
donnelly
and
at-large

warden.
A
So
all
our
at
all
our
committee
appointments
for
that
will
end
in
1231
22
have
been
appointed.
Do
we

that
at
the
end.
A
F
F
L
F
A
Thank
you
is
there
any
need
for
a
closed
session?
Mrs

ernie.
I'm
sorry.
C
Not
a
problem,
so,
mr
durant,
I

make
a
motion
to

that

Coming

christmas.
I
hope
everybody

a
very
safe
and
and
healthy
