B
Your
Lord
help
us
to
be
ever
mindful
that
you
are
the
great
counselor
and
the
great
guide
as
new
and
returning
County
board
members.
We
ask
your
help
in
leading
and
acting
in
ways
that
are
in
the
best
interest
of
Those,
whom
we
represent,
help
us
to
make
decisions
that
are
based
on
accurate,
complete
and
useful
information,
and
let
us
fill
our
thoughts
with
open-mindedness,
compassion
and
a
Cooperative
spirit
and
always
Lord.
Let
us
be
instruments
of
your
will
and
let
us
be
kind
in
Christ's
name.
We
pray,
amen.
B
A
All
right
we
have
a
quorum.
Do
we
have
any
public
comment?
Mr
Cavender
did
you
know
Mr
Ashcraft,
everybody
runs
away
from
the
mic.
You'll
learn
so
under
under.
We
have
really
no
old
business
new
business.
We
have
the
seating
of
the
current
and
the
new
board
members.
So
there's
gonna
be
a
little
bit
of
variation
here.
Over
the
last
two
elections
we
haven't
been
able
to
follow
through
on
a
tradition
which
was
as
the
old
board
members
or
excuse
me
departing
board
members
back
out
of
their
seats.
A
Excuse
me
Mr
Lair,
no
offense
intended
we,
the
the
current
members
by
seniority,
get
a
chance
to
move
around
the
room
if
they
want
to
pick
a
seat.
So
that's
we
haven't
been
able
to
do
that
because
of
covet.
So
if
you
are
my
seniority,
we'll
go
down
the
list
in
just
a
moment
here
and
everybody
can
move
their
seat
around
if
they
so
choose
and
some
may
decide
to
stay
there.
A
So
the
first
thing
I
want
to
do
is
to
thank
all
of
these
departing
board
members
for
your
service.
These
past
years,
we
do
have
a
special
recognition
recognition
for
Mr
Lear
who
served
from
2003
to
2010
and
then
again
from
2012
to
2022..
A
There
was
quite
a
career
here
at
the
board,
you've
seen
probably
good
times
bad
times
real
bad
times
and
then
hopefully
good
times
again.
So
it's
it's
been,
the
wave
you've
been
riding
it
the
whole
time,
and-
and
we
want
to
thank
you
for
that
and
I-
don't
know
if
Dan,
if
you
could
read,
maybe
read
that.
A
A
So
with
that,
if
we
could
the
current
members
that
are
departing
aboard,
if
you
would
please
rise
and
then
step
to
the
back
and
then
all
other
board
members
please
rise
at
the
same
time,
then
we're
going
to
fill
in
these
seats.
So
if
we
could
I'll.
A
And
again,
thank
you
all
for
your
service.
What,
after
this
Dan,
will
be
reading
off
by
seniority
and
if
you
want
to
stay
where
you're
at
when
you
hear
your
name
just
sit
down?
If
you
want
to
tap
someone
on
the
shoulder,
when
you
hear
your
name,
please
feel
free.
Are
we.
A
C
A
A
A
A
Done
we
are
done
all
right
so
with
the
presentation
of
certificate
elections
oath
and
the
bond
and
the
swearing-in
from
Judge
Dickinson
I
will
please
turn
it
over
to
you
judge,
and
could
you
check
that
mic
over
there
just
I
apologize
that
should
be
working?
If
you
need
to
I'll
turn
it
on
all
right
all.
E
Members
rise
and
good
morning,
and
congratulations
and
good
luck
to
you
all.
If
you
please
raise
your
right
hands
for
me,
I
I,
having
been
elected
to
the
office
of
County
Board.
C
A
C
C
C
A
So
before
we
adjourn,
that
is
a
a
distinction
that
I
remind
all
the
County
board.
Members
of
this
is
not
a
commission
style
government,
so
we
are
not
Commissioners.
We
are
County
board
members,
I'm,
not
a
stickler
on
that,
but
as
I
just
always
mentioned
that,
if
we
are
commissioned,
form
of
government
will
be
called
Commissioners.
So
you
say
it
doesn't
matter.
Just
thought.
I'd
mention
it
with
that.
Is
there
a
motion
to
adjourn
this
meeting
with
Mr
Hess?
