Got

for
mr

to
approve
the
agenda.
All
those

say:

next.
We
have
the
citizen
comment
period,
I'll
remind
the
audience
that
you
have
three
minutes
for
speaker,
and
this
is
for
something
that
we
do
not
have
a
public
hearing
on.
So
we
have
a
couple
of
proclamations
and
we
have
a
public
hearing
on
firearm
prevention
and
protection
regarding.

lives.
We

that
the
other
week
didn't
we,
whereas
this
week
is
one
of
the
most
important
events
of
the
year
for
nursing
homes
for
another
reason,
as
it
provides
recognition
to
the
residents
and
their
families
residents
and
their
families
are
at
the
center
of
the
national
home
model
of
the
nursing
home
model.
I
We
are
entrusted
to
support
the
lives
and
people
and
to
take
care
of
this
responsibility
very
seriously.
So
now,
therefore,

The

of
bedford
county

8th
through
14th
2022
as
national
skilled

and

bedford,
county's
commitment
to
supporting
the
work
at
the
nursing

and
to
express
our
sincere
gratitude
and
appreciation
for
those
dedicated
caregivers
and
support
staff
and
to
acknowledge
the
residents
and
their
families.
Bedford,
cal,
nursing
home
is
truly
a
great
place
to
work
and
live.
J
E
K
K
You
allowed
us
to
test
for
covid
when
it
was
just
a
recommendation.
It
wasn't
a
requirement,
but
in
doing
so
you
helped
us
to
identify
cases
early
and
mitigate
the
risk
to
our
residents
and
our
staff
once
it
became
a
requirement.
Everyone
was
doing
that,
but
this
helped
us
to
prevent
from
having
the
tragedy
that
we
heard
about
on
the
news
that
we
read
about
in
the
papers
not
only
nationwide,
but
here
locally
there
were
tragedies
we
were
able
to
avoid
that
and
then
came
along
rapid
tests
and
the
inaccuracy
of
them.
K
Maybe
they
didn't
test
positive
that
day,
but
you
allowed
us
to
take
the
necessary
precautions
to
not
have
them
in
there,
possibly
spreading
the
risk
of
spreading
covert
throughout
the
facility.
They
were
able
to
be
honest
with
us.
We
were
able
to
pay
them
to
be
able
to
stay
home
without
fear
of
them
losing
their
paycheck.
You
allowed
us
to
do
that,
and
I
thank
you
and
that
kept
the
residents
safe.
K
The
recommendation
of
having
a
quarantine
wing
was
open.
Quarantine
beds
allowed
us
to
establish
a
10-bed
quarantine
wing
so
that,
in
the
event,
if
we
did
have
a
coveted
outbreak,
we
could
isolate
them
from
the
remainder
of
the
residents
in
there,
thus
preventing
these
tragedies
that
we
had
read
about
and
heard
about,
and
I
thank
you
for
that
when
we
did
have
outbreaks,
we
were
able
to
utilize
that
and
that
helped
us.
K
K
K
K
So
I
just
wanted
to
acknowledge
you
and
thank
you
on
behalf
of
myself,
the
nursing
home
residents
and
the
nursing
home
staff
for
all.
You
did
during
covet
to
assist
us
your
backing
and
support
was
tremendous
and
the
nursing
home
is
who
it
is
today
because
of
your
backing
and
support,
and
I
thank
you.
F
A
L
Thank
you,
mr
chair,
and
I
would
classify
this
as
a
housekeeping
amendment
to
our
ordinance.
The
fire
and
rescue
ordinance
lists
out
the
volunteer
departments
that
are
part
of
our
fire
and
rescue
and
emergency
services
team.
There
were
two
units
that
had
been
in
the
ordinance
that
are
no
longer
active,
and
that
was
the
bedford,
life-saving
crew
and
then
the
good
volunteer
rescue
squad,
the
ordinance
that's
before
you
was
simply
to
remove
the
references
to
those
in
our
ordinance
so
that
they're
no
longer
active.
G
L
A
G
A
All
right
there's
a
motion
from
his
second
from
mr
tuck.
All
those
in
favor
say
aye
aye
any
opposed
ocean
carry
unanimous.
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
Next
we
have
action
and
discussion
items.
First,
is
a
consideration
of
a
resolution
authorizing
a
contract
for
fire
alarm
replacement
of
the
bedford
county,
courthouse
resolution,
r050922-03.
J
I've
come
before
you
previously
to
request
issuing
an
rfp,
which
we
did.
We
received
three
proposers
going
through
their
base,
primarily
upon
time
and
schedule.
We
have
scored
those
and
the
vsc
fire
and
security
was
our
successful
proposer,
and
I
ask
for
your
approval
to
move
forward
with
a
contract
in
the
amount
of
ninety
six
thousand
dollars.
Seven.
Ninety
six
thousand
seven
hundred
and
ninety
nine
dollars.
A
C
G
L
We
need
to
have
a
special
election
here
in
november
and,
in
the
meantime,
have
someone
appointed
as
an
interim
commissioner
of
revenue,
the
suggestion
being
tracy
patterson.
So
what
the
resolution
before
he
does
is
authorize
submitting
the
necessary
paperwork
to
the
circuit
court
here
in
bedford
to
process
both
of
those
requests.
D
N
N
The
the
goal
for
this
is
to
have
the
funds
used
for
replacing
of
the
the
old,
the
old
boiler
that
is
currently
located
at
the
cannery.
The
boiler
is
pushing
20
years
old
has
constant
issues.
Mechanical
a
new
boiler
would
have
would
assure
that
the
facility
continues
to
operate
in
the
the
coming
future
and
allows
us
to
look
at
possible
upgrades
or
expansion
and
I'd
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions
you
may
have
any.
G
G
N
D
G
G
A
F
G
F
A
H
H
Total
project
cost
for
the
xytel
project
alone
is
just
under
19
million
dollars
when
factoring
in
county
and
isp
matching
funds.
There
is
also
the
dhcd
requirement
that
these
projects
be
completed
in
18
months.
The
project
will
provide
broadband
access
to
over
4
100
serviceable
units,
including
166
businesses.
So
prior
board
and
authority
actions
include
the
issuance
of
rsps
number.
H
Two,
the
approval
of
granted
grant
application
number
three:
the
approval
of
use
of
county
arpa
funds
to
match
the
state
money,
so
all
of
which
brings
us
to
this
evening's
action,
which
is
contract,
approval,
the
county
review
team
and
I'd
like
to
thank
robert
and
amanda
ashley's
been
part
of
it,
patrick
skelly,
eric
smedley,
jordan,
mitchell
and
myself
began
meeting
in
january.
Wasn't
it
robert
january
and
began
identifying
county
priorities?
H
We
have
spent
march
april
and
may
going
back
and
forth
negotiating
these
contracts,
and
so
I'm
very
pleased
to
say
that
late
last
week,
zytel
agreed
to
the
last
iteration
and
we're
ready
to
move
forward
with
them.
So
there
are
still
some
other
contracts
that
we
have
to
work
through
with
shintel
and
river
street.
We're
doing
that.
I
hope
we
can
do
that
expeditiously.
H
There
are
still
some
remaining
issues
that
we
have
with
the
department
of
housing
and
community
development.
They
still
have
a
contract
that
we
have
to
execute
with
them
as
well.
We
are
waiting
on
the
latest
iteration
of
that
contract,
so
there
is
more
work
to
do.
We've
done
a
lot
and
again
I'd
like
to
thank
robert
and
everybody
that
helped
us
get
these
contracts
moving.
So
this
is.
This
is
a
long
time
coming,
but
this
is
a
good.
H
This
is
a
good
development,
so
I
don't
know
if
y'all
have
any
questions
for
me
or
robert
is
anything
else
you
think
about
anything.
I've
missed,
I
mean
you've
been
doing
this
a
lot
longer
than
I
have
so
he
knows
he
knows
a
lot
more
about
this
stuff
than
I
do,
but
I'm
happy
to
take
any
questions.
If
you
have
any.
D
C
Pto
meeting
they
talked
about
ken
king
spoke
about
the
infrastructure
funds,
the
bill
that's
coming
and
whatever
the
goes
towards
the
transportation
issues
in
the
counties
that
whatever
state
the
states
that
get
those
funds
they're
probably
going
to
be
distributed.
Instead
of
coming
straight
to
the
county,
they're
going
to
be
distributed
through
the
ptos,
which
doesn't
really
excite
you
that
much
and
then
you
gotta,
then
the
pto's
got
it.
You
gotta
go
go
into
that
arena
and
fight
for
it.
A

Mr
chair,
I
just
have
a
couple
of
the
potholes
at
the
bedford
library
still
exist,
I'd
like
to
see
if
we
could
jump
on
that
and
get
those
fixed
been
that
way
for
quite
some
time
now,
and
I've
heard
several
complaints
about
that,
the
second,
I
guess
inquiry
or
complaints
really
from
citizens
that
have
not
received
their
tax
bills
this
year.
If
somebody
could
address
what's
going
on
and
when
they're
coming
out.
E
G
Just
wondering
if
we're
cutting
it
kind
of
short
with
the
time
they're
going
out
to
the
time
they're
actually
receive
until
the
due
date.
Are
we
going
to
have
a
grace
period
of
extending
that
time,
because,
typically,
we
have
them
out
by
you
know
april.
That's
why
we
always
set
the
tax
rate.
They
want
to
know
what
the
tax
rate
is.
E
G
A
A
G
E
D
F
F
C
C
D
D
L
L
L
L
L
E
Staff
has
been
working
very,
very
hard
to
prepare
for
it.
The
it
staff
commissioner
revenue,
treasurer's
office,
finance
office
and
community
development
are
all
impacted
and
actually
all
the
all
internal
users
too,
so
anyways,
where
I
want
to
make
it
kind
of
public.
Is
that
we'll
be
having
to
shut
the
system
down
at
noon?
Well,
really
a
little
bit
earlier,
but
for
all
intent
for
all
public
purposes.
E
Yeah
may
23rd,
we
will
have
a
work
session
and
an
annual
dinner
with
our
cooperative
extension
office.
I
think
that's
always
a
good
event
that
we
have
every
year
we'll
learn
about
their
activities
and
their
their
their
foragers
and
other
participants
will
help
serve
food
that
evening.
So
we
can
break
bread
together,
of
course,
we'll
have
a
budget
public
hearing
that
night
on
may
23rd.
Also
june
13th
we'll
have
a
regular
meeting.
