A

Motion carries already under pza if we can get the title of the resolution in the.

B

Cba case 19-13 text amendment to County Code, section 121 295, citing a wind energy conversion system already.

A

Needed a motion to approve on that one. First, mr. Dunhill's, second miss Peters all righty. Do you want to do some explanation.

H

Try that all right we have currently, there are two wind farm companies looking for to establish new wind farms in Kankakee County and over the past several months, they've been advising us of some different changes and trends in the industry which are going to larger towers and fewer of them. So we brought it forward to the Zoning Board of Appeals to see if the they would like to change the ordinance to allow for taller towers and the Zoning Board of Appeals did agree that we should do that.

H

So what we are doing is raising the height of towers from four ninety nine to six hundred ninety nine feet and associated with that is increasing setbacks for participating dwellings from 1,000 feet to 1.5 arc season from 600 feet to either 1,000 feet or 1.5 times the tower height and the minimum distance from non participating dwellings from 1,200 feet to either 1,200 feet or two times the tower height, but was owning board and planning, and zoning have recommended approval of this ordinance.

H

A

Questions for Dell on this one or anything else.

A

Already uh it says roll call, but that's a voice vote. All those in favor, say aye. Those opposed same sign motion carries already GBA 1906 in the GBA.

B

Case 1906 variances to section 121 394 for DES C, D and E, billboard in the c2 general commercial district, 16 berm, a Township.

A

Is there a C? Do we have a motion on the floor here?

A

It would be I want to make sure this here before I ask for the motion, because this one was a motion to deny I believe. Yes, this motion to deny is that by mr. Hoff and the second by mr. Donnell any discussion after we go ahead and go through the explanation. All.

H

Right, mr. Jarry father purchased the property located on the you see on the map on the screen, that is on Arthur Burke's Drive in bourbon, the township, and he wishes to install a digital billboard at that location.

H

We went through several several public hearings on this, and the proposal changed at every hearing we originally started out with. Excuse me a three sided digital billboard, which, in order to get that, would have required for variances, as we only allow a two phase sign. They wanted 40-foot tall instead of 30 feet tall.

H

They wanted a 10-foot setback from the road instead of the required 40 feet and a variance to allow more than one billboard in a 25 hundred foot interval, then on September 9th their proposal changed again this time they wanted to single sided billboards, one at each end of the property, which would have only required one variance, which would have been the 2500 feet between bill works on November 4th. It changed again and they went to two digital billboards on the north part of the property. This would have required a setback.

H

Variance of they want to be 13 feet from the road instead of the full tree, quired 40, and still the variance to allow for the twenty five hundred foot interval the map on the screen. There shows that there are five billboards already within twenty five hundred feet of this location, so this would have just been adding to that situation. There.

H

So the Zoning Board of Appeals developed findings of fact and I can go through every one if you'd like, but really the most important one I think.

H

Which remember it's going to be on sorry, I'm, not feeling too well today is number three, and that is that the Board finds that the applicant is asking to relax codes that address safety and those safety measures should not be taken away to appease the applicants desires. So the Zoning Board unanimously voted.

H

Recommend denial and Planning and Zoning agreed with them.

A

Party questions mr. Schneider I.

G

Noticed from the photography that there was a standard billboards that they have- and this is a digital billboard, which is somewhat different in that it looks or appears as we go through the county, that there are these new digital billboards, pasted up, more I, guess user-friendly paper saving, etc.

G

Environmental trend. As you would say, it appears from the conversation that there was one that would have worked because it only required. One variance. Did they consider and then tell the individual, which would be the no.

H

No, the proposal changed each time. The previous proposal was no longer considered. Okay, so and as far as our ordinance is concerned, digital or non digital doesn't make a difference in the commercial district. Well,.

G

Not to argue the digital nineties, I just know, Dennis, that's where it's kind of going, so he would be. The first was a nun. I mean what's a non-standard version with the digital before I. If they deny this, he has opportunity to reapply with something.

G

That's within reason. He always has that option. Okay and then what is the safety issue being ten.

H

Feet from the road: yes, the side.

I

Has their attention to.

H

Fall across the road and therefore block the road that Arthur Brooks drive is the only Road in and out of that area. Okay,.

G

Under standard 150 across the road would not do that. Well,.

H

We have a: we have a maximum 30 foot sign with a 40 foot setback. So therefore, there is no possible way that the if you follow the the regulations that the sign could fall across the road there's a 10 foot buffer, built into that. Okay.

A

Any other questions already we have a motion to not approve, so there will be a voice vote, all those in favor of not approving, say aye. Those opposed same sign mr. Bern, who was no so motion, carries already moving on 19, 14 c.

B

Ba case 19 14 request for a special use: permit 13, C single-family home in the r1 single-family residential district on a parcel generally situated in section 14 of bourbon, a Township.

A

I guess on that one is there: a motion to approve would be in order on this. One we'll go with mr. feather link, and mr. Donnell is the second. If we can get that one kind of described a little bit mr.

H

Olynyk owns the property outlined in red on the screen and will be consolidating the two parcels into one nine point: one six, eight core parcel. Our zoning ordinance requires that in the r-1 district, any to build a single-family home on any parcel larger than two acres requires a special use permit.

H

So he is asking for special use permit to build one single-family home on that property. The Zoning Board of Appeals agreed and recommends the approval, as does PCA any.

A

Questions for Dell on this one, all righty, all those in favor, say aye. Those opposed same sign motion carries under finance thanks Dale hope you feel better.

A

The COO you get the title of 202 read in the record. Please.

B

Resolution of the county border cain't key County regarding the tax year 2019 levy, request, alrighty.

A

Starting off, we just need a motion to approve on that. Mr. leer second miss Dunbar steve is here we can get into questions if people have questions about the specific levy, requests or anything that is associated with that comments.

A

J

Chairman and Finance Committee, it was noted that the levy request gives say: I will call it an extra boost to the Veterans Affairs Commission, and this is an attempt to meet some of the needs that they have. They had been pulling down some of their reserves and now we're trying to help them with those reserves.

J

This is something the full board should be aware of. Yeah.

A

That was that, some some years ago, when we were really in financial trouble. Well, it seems like that was a lot of years for long, but they were draining their reserves, and now that you know we are we committed to upping the levy to get those to get them more money, going back their direction so they're having a 14 and a half percent increase, which is the largest on here so and we we can. We expect that to continue for the foreseeable future.

A

You know to get them back where they need to be any other questions or comments.

A

Alrighty that'll be a roll call vote. Please. Mr. Washington.

B

All right, mr. Hess, mr. Follin, mrs. Polk mr. Snipes all right mr. Bern thank.

Wheeler hi motion carries if we could move on to 203. Please get that resolution.

B

Of the County Board of kinky County Illinois regarding amendments to the combined annual budget and appropriation for Kankakee County Illinois 2018-2019 fiscal year already.

A

On this motion to approve on this one here, we mister Zen's. Second, mr. Parker, alrighty and Steve is here to answer any questions on this one as well we've kind of gone through this at Finance. This is typically what we do is at the end of the year. We try to kind of acknowledge some things that it may come in as far as higher revenues, which we had substantially higher revenues than we budgeted and Steve I.

A

Don't know if you have any specific comments unless there's questions, but it's we try to level things off at the end of the year. Basically,.

A

No questions: it's a roll call vote that mr.

B

Washington mr. Hess hi mr. Tolin, mrs. Polk mr. Snipes mr. Bern aye mr. C Roy mr. leer hi, mrs. Weber, mrs. Peters mr. Paden, mrs. Parker, miss Dunbar mr. Kinzinger mr. Fairfield mr. Zen's mr. Carrick Oh mr. Hoff hi mr. Smith, mr. cool, oh hi, mr. fatherland hi mr. Donnell, mr. Miller I missed her long I. Mr.

A

Wheeler hi motion carries will be gone to 204. We can get that rather long. Title ready resolution.

B

Of the County Board of Kankakee County Illinois regarding authorizing the County Board Chairman or as designee, to grant the authority to execute a 60-month of global positioning system, monitoring agreement for a method of electronic surveillance.

A

All righty need a motion to approve there. Mr. Hess. Second sorry, mr. culo, is there any explanation on this needed? You have questions. Go with you, mr. mr. Burton. First Thank.

K

You mr. chairman I, ask this in criminal justice and Finance and again I'll. Ask it again here: is there a way we can invoice the parents of these juveniles that will and we are undertaking the cost for this service? Is that possibility.

A

While I don't have the student loan payments for to be a lawyer, I don't see how I don't know. If you have comment on that, but I don't think I see how the parents can be held accountable in that manner.

K

For their own children's being.

A

At this point, no, we do know that we have reached out to some of the municipal partners and there is a willingness to look at curbing some of this cost going forward, especially when this is really needed for certain situations where the people that are on home detention are out in the community doing some things that need to be monitored mm-hmm, so they need GPS for that. So, oh.

I

G

Mr. Sykes I had approved this I believe this is the dealing with the ankle bracelets in the whole nine yards in its initial state.

G

We have to have something: that's that's going to deter or hopefully let the youth know, there's a consequence for the actions, those that are abruptly shooting all over the place and doing whatever they're doing that's. Why I went with this? We if we were to try to set up to the juvenile detention center. That would be exhorting costs compared to what this eight was, the eight dollars or whatever cost the heirs for the bracelet I mean this bracelet is at eight dollars or something a day.

G

That's a daily yeah, okay, so the the cost-benefit is definitely a savings, but at the same time we have to have a tool in place. I hope at some point we can look in the fit for federal grants or something to kind of help us with this juvenile issue or whatever. But this is the reason why I approved it and trust that the board will do so as well. Any.

A

Other questions Misner mark Thank.

D

You chairman there's just a scriveners error on the estimated cost. There's an extra zero in there.

F

A

The resolution itself- okay,.

A

We had it's been a scriveners meeting, this man.

E

A

Any other questions about that. Mr. Kerr co-chairman.

L

I do agree that this is important. I, think that is important. You have that in place, so we can better monitor those individuals. However, I also have to agree that we should not be placing this burden on taxpayers for the fact that parents need to be. Oh, you know yeah countable, for whatever it's happening with their own children, because you boys, Mike my children I'll be one to take care of that situation.

L

So for that reason, if we cannot impose any kind of a fee for parents, then I will not be in favor at that, and.

A

As I thought about it, a little bit too and I I have to look it up, but I think Dylan's rule applies where we don't, because the county boards aren't specifically given the authority to put fees on the courts that all comes from the state I believe we set levels of the the fees that they're already established by the state like we can adjust what a I think.

D

We look it I, think I can look into whether or not we can start including it as a court fee I mean that's something. We'd have to work with the judiciary on and and but this is kind of, like the first step to get going to try to do that. I mean I know we can charge. You know probation for your different fees in the court cost, which would you know potentially go into the parents, but that's something we'd have to explore. We'd have to look into to see how we would do yeah.

A

It's kind of a no, but no, no, that we have to get moving on this pretty quickly because there is an impetus, as per mr. Latham's comments in the past. So I do understand your point, yeah mr. snipe. Second time.

G

Yeah I do understand his position. However, we also must understand that I know we put a lot of blames and things up on the parents, but a lot of these children are in foster homes and a lot of these foster parents are doing what they possibly can. They can't take the liberties that you can as a parent to spank them or do anything so as a result, these kids are running rapid and there's nothing to hold them accountable.

G

So, even though I understand that we want we, we have the traditional values in place, we're living in a society in a generation where those traditions are not that's common and one person has done all they could. We just spoke this weekend. What can you do and I did state that we were passing this piece of this resolution to kind of move in that direction, because the kids feel that they run away? They can't be found, at least with this. They can so we have to kind of.

G

We can't throw the bathwater out with the you know, with the sole whatever you want to say. We do have to at some point. Take some initiative- and this is initiative in the regulation gotcha.

A

Any other comment all right, we're spending money. That's got to be a roll call vote please. Mr.

B

Washington aye mr. house, mr. Follin, mrs. poke, mrs. mr. Snipes all right. Mr. Byrne I mr. Cyr aye aye mr. leer, all right, mrs. Webber, mrs. peters mr. Paden, mrs. Parker, MS Dunbar mr. Kinzinger mr. Fairfield, mr. Zen's aye, mr. Kirk, oh hey mr. Eko hi, mr. Smith, mr. cool, oh mister, father length, mr. Donnell mr. Miller aye. Mr. long mr. wheeler.

A

I motion carries moving on to 205. Please.

B

Resolution the County Board of Kankakee County Illinois regarding authorize from the Kinki County Board Chairman, or, as does me, to sign an agreement with Hitchcock Design Group for the purposes of releasing enterprise zone funds for Kankakee riverfront initiatives, zero.

A

Motion on this one, mr. feather wing second, mr. Dunbar- approve excuse me I- can give the brief explanation. Enterprise Zone is comprised of all the mayor's that are in the enterprise zone. They have an administrator which is actually Ben Wilson, as the county employee used to be like that mill that the funds in that are held by the county, but they're, not the county's money. The enterprise zone gets those funds from applications to be to enjoy the benefits of those businesses and the enterprise zone.

A

Tax benefits from the state and this the city of Kankakee, came and asked for not to exceed $30,000 for some projects. The first project they kind of changed midstream. You may have remembered this. This came before us in the past. They changed the actual projects, but not really the total dollar amount.

A

So our auditor kicked it back to us and said you know this I can't sign off on this, because you didn't authorize this amount of money which we signed our money, but that's, okay, um it's basically not to exceed number where that's what we approved from the enterprise zone I'm a member of that board, along with the other mayor's, so we said not more than 30 thousand dollars in total. So this is allowing us to be able to take their money out of our and give it to them. For them to spend.

A

Is that kind of shore up okay? So we don't have to keep coming back here, nickel, dime and every time they want to use part of that money. So any other questions or any questions on that alrighty I guess that'll be a roll call vote please. Mr.

B

Washington I miss dress, hey mr. Tolin, mrs. Polk mr. Snipes hi mr. Bern I mr. C Roy mr. leer hi. This is Weber aye, mrs. Peters mr. Payton, mrs. Parker, mrs. Dunbar mr. Kinzinger mr. Fairfield mr. Zen's mr. Carrick, oh hi, mr. Eckhoff, mr. Smith, mr. cool, oh hey, mr. father, Ling mark mr. Donnell mr. Miller aye. Mr. long mr.

A

Wheeler I motion carries under 206 before it reads in the record: I'll just note that there's a scriveners error on the date- it should be today's date instead of September or November November, just want to mention that. So if we get that title, please resolution.

B

The County Board of kinky County Illinois regarding state's attorneys appellate prosecutor program fiscal year. Twenty point.

A

And that would need a motion to approve mr. Eickhoff. Second, mr. Snipes we're ready any questions about this. This is something we do every year.

A

Okay! Well, for the public's sake, it's so we have access to attorneys from the appellate prosecutor's office instead of paying a lot of per hour rate for outside attorneys when we need them. This is a relatively low rate for any help that we may need what usually it's labor negotiations and things like that, so it's only using if you pay for it, if you use it type stuff. Oh excuse me, this is a retainer I believe yeah, it's a retainer, so we have access to that program.

A

Instead of you know, $500 an hour to use an outside attorney. Okay, there's no more questions, roll call vote. Mr.

B

Washington mr. Haas mr. thorne misspoke mr. Snipes mr. Bern I mr. Cyr oi mr. leer, mrs. Weber mr. Peters mr. Peyton, all right, mrs. Parker, miss Dunbar hi mr. Kinzinger mr. Fairfield mr. Zen's mr. Kirikou mr. Hoff mr. Smith mr. ku Oh mr. fatherland mr. Donnell mr. Miller. Mr. long mr. wheeler hi motion.

A

Carries moving on to 207, please read in the record resolution.

B

Of the County Board of can't Keith County Illinois regarding authorizing the can't key County Board Chairman or his designee, to sign an agreement to contract with bright architecture for courthouse, EDA improvements, ready.

A

On that would need a motion to approve first mr. Washington. Second, mr. Kinzinger I will say that just for some background on this, it's been probably what 10 years since the ABA things started way back when roughly.

A

It's been a problem for a while, but when the Attorney General got a-holes is about ten years ago, I believe and we finally have approval to do the last part of construction, which is an ad a courtroom and the ramp going in to downstairs into the basement. We have preliminary drawings which they approved. This is for the more detailed drawings that to actually get the work done and we're going to talk about in building and grounds.

A

Next month we identified, we know the courtroom, and we now know when it's going to be done in April of next year, it's about a month, construction for that courtroom and for the jury room and for the ramp going in. So this is the work for that and and mr. bright is also the county's architect. So this is outside of the scope of what he normally does, but he's been working on this the whole time.

A

So I just wanted to get the background out there where we're at and we got a grant for this I believe 170 lb was about a huh 163 we had $163,000 has to be spent by June I mean the end of June this next year.

A

So that's why this timing is kind of critical lining all this construction up so looks like we're all you know blazing the head on this and we're gonna be done with the immediate things the Attorney General wants to it, but we still have to keep improving our all of our buildings as we go along. So that's the background where we're at so mr. leer, first and.

J

Thank You, mr. chairman. Clearly this is a vital project that we need to move forward on just a side note. This was not discussed in finance, it was I, believe highway and getting the buildings and grounds committed, yeah, Finance Committee. Many members need to recognize. This has been vetted by committee and is one that I would say. We need to move forward on yep.

A

And just so, thank you for that. I appreciate the clarification and then also I mention the Historical Preservation Commission as a signed off on this as well, because it does take a slight modification to the outside of the building. It's not major. It's just. We have to shave a little corner off of the building to make a turn radius in case somebody that's in uses a wheelchair could turn around and go back up the ramp.

A

So it was either that or spend about another seven hundred thousand dollars, believe it or not to move the circle drive and everything down the hill. That would have been a mess. So mr. Washington first and then mr. Snipes.

I

Materials have been taken out of the courthouse and.

I

We use I, don't.

A

Know that we have I haven't asked that question directly. I can check I'd asked if the stuff that was in judge rx courtroom, the one that's gonna, be the ABA courtroom had any historical significance and by the laminate that was coming off of the benches. I could say no, that there isn't anything in there, but she's gonna get new carpeting and she's really liking that too, but no it's it's there's nothing in that room.

A

That has historical significance, but I didn't asked what you're asking specifically so I can check on that and see if there's something that warehouse somewhere yeah I.

I

Just think it's important to maintain the genuineness of the game right changes. Sure.

A

Yeah and I I didn't think about the house. I can't see where we would have but I'll ask the question: I even asked her if they want to keep the 1970 forge, you know chairs they have in there the green, oh they're, just lovely card decals back right yeah, so they didn't laugh. Actually they wanted going or any other questions about how Mr snipe. Sorry, you.

G

Probably alluded to some of the things I understand that we are taking approach to meet the ATA requirements, but when we look at bright, Agrotech, I guess I'll save it from new bids because I'm looking at some of the carpet and things that's in that course. I courthouse. It has not been changed in years and stains when I was in certain circuit clerk's office.

G

That I'm thinking can we change this carpeting or put it back regular floors, but at another time, but I do think, there's a step in the right direction with making an ABA compliant, but at the same time I'm wondering if we can go a little further and just kind of look at what can we do to kind of liven up that courthouse? The health-wise.

E

G

A

Sorry did you want me to turn the mic on there? Mr. C Roy, no I get you and- and it would be nice at some point to go through and do all of that stuff for just not quite there. Yet yeah, we still got a couple years until we we really don't have to. We don't have to borrow money this year. Thank and hopefully that trend continues but you're right. It is there's the the floors and they're stained and I mean it was here.

A

I mean the chairs you're sitting in from The Brady Bunch I believe is where they got this.

E

A

Mean these are so again we get it, we get it. Yes,.

E

I was gonna say to you, mr. Snipes, that mr. row is live inning up that courthouse pretty well so.

A

Disco ball. Maybe you know the Rotunda.

A

All right, so we moving on I just want I, can't we're laughs, we're having a good time about this, but this was a long hall and there was a time we thought the Attorney General was gonna file in court to take over our budget and force us to do the things that we knew. We should have done so about three years ago.

A

We really started working on this, and this is the end of a long road of first we fix the minor stuff, then the more expensive stuff now we're into the really expensive stuff that turned into not being a million and a half dollars. You know we're getting it done a lot less expensive and they worked with us. The Attorney General did so I want to thank them for this any other. Any other questions already there'll be a roll call vote in mr.

B

Washington aye mr. has mr. Solon mrs. Polk mr. Snipes mr. Bern hi mr. Cyr Oh mr. leer, mrs. Weber, mrs. peters mr. Paden, mrs. Parker, mrs. Dunbar mr. Kinzinger mr. Fairfield hi mr. Zen's mr. Kirk, oh hi, mr. Eko, mr. Smith, mr. cool Oh, mr. faoud erlang, mr. Donnell mr. Miller. Mr. long missed we lured, okay.

A

Motion carries under highways and buildings number 208, please resolution.

B

Of the County Board of Kankakee County Illinois resolution and ordinance for the establishment of an altered speed zone on 6000 North, Road traveling west from 2000 each Road in Manteno township road district, their.

A

Motion to approve here the mrs. Peters second, mr. Zen's any questions there be a voice vote. All those in favor say: aye. Those opposed same sign alrighty under other business I have an opening on manteno number nine drainage, one opening on X line, Creek drainage, district, two openings on the Regional, Planning Commission believe I've gotten one application. Nope I actually got the application for the next one, the architect so that'll be on executive. So we did find an architect who is interested so under old business. Is there any old business, misspoke I.

C

Need to ask a question: is there any way? I wasn't here for the vote of concerning the marijuana and I was wanting to know? Is there any way that we could talking for my two cents? Where did.

A

Miss Paul call me about that a couple weeks ago, when I told her that she would have to say that under old business to see, if the board wanted to allow her the opportunity to vote on that issue, the the only way to to do that would be at first. It was thought a motion to reconsider, but since we adjourned that meeting it would have to be a motion to rescind and then another vote would happen.

A

So the question is: is that she's asking for the opportunity and I guess it was due to a health issue? You told me you should instead of come at the meeting, she went to the hospital, so she was asking I said we have to ask the board and that's that's your guys's decision, whether you want to rescind that vote and vote again on this at another meeting, because that is part apartment, its parliamentary procedurally proper.

A

If you will to do so, it's just a matter if this board would so choose to do it, so it would take a motion and a second and then a 3/4 vote to have that rescind rescinding happen at this meeting, I'm trying to think of the right word, recension.

L

That's an actual word I.

A

Don't know what the word is: I just made some up, but anyway, the um or or would be at a future meeting. We could have the motion or to rescind and then the revote right after that. So it's really at this board's discretion on how they want to handle it. I told her. I would just uh sure the conversation and let you guys, you know, obviously make golf.

I

A

Okay, there is a motion in a second to rescind okay at this okay, because this is part of old business, so we can't do it. This is correct. So now we can go with questions from here hold on a second here who had their hand up for mr. feather, only okay, Thank.

H

You, mr. chairman, just give the opportunity to the other people who weren't here at that meeting. Also yeah.

A

Everybody can vote, it would be a complete revote. So if we vote to rescind, then it would go to the next full board meeting for the same resolution to be heard again then that everybody that's there would have the chance to vote. Okay, that's that's the question and that was miss post request, so I told her I'd put it from the board. Mr. Snipes I think.

G

That I mean it's something we have not. It's, not a president that we have done with the board where the individuals are here and I do hear the exception to the rule. However, apprehensive about going back and then really citing something and re arguing something that we've already have approved in place, but I am I mean, but there is an opportunity up under our business if that individual. If mr. Pope wants to establish on the record, why?

G

If she's for or against the proposal of the out the unincorporated areas, but I, do not think that we need to rehash and revisit something that we kind of argued before the public already just.

A

Any other comment there on those lines, so the mr. Washington I don't.

I

Think that's useful because it doesn't give everybody an opportunity to vote on and again, if we're gonna do it, we need to do it wholesale and complete and.

A

That's what this would allow, if you rescind that vote, then it goes back to the full board to vote again with it everybody putting their their vote in at that time. That's all she was asking for I. Believe yes, mr. Kalou.

C

A

Would be the next me the next month yeah? If we have 3/4 pass it here further rescinding, then it would go to the full board next one it wouldn't go back to committee. We just go to full board mr. house Thank.

M

You, chairman and I understand Pat's. You know a few point on this. So what happens.

M

Hurry ready, yeah.

A

Sorry give me it's two-thirds, not not three pi-thirds.

M

What happens if perhaps I don't make the next board meeting can I request the same thing: we're going to keep continuing till this thing passes. I, guess.

A

Well, that's not that's not mine, I'm.

M

Just asking the question it was voted down before I agree with mr. Snipes, which I very seldom do.

M

But if she wants to make the vault known and put it on a record, that's fine, but I cannot see going back, rescinding this and then bringing it back to the full board. Again we discussed it at the last month's meeting. It was voted on, it was defeated and now we want to bring it back up again.

A

The any other school no.

A

Ok, so again, the motion to rescind would be just so. It's voted on again and almost president will vote at the next meeting.

G

A

G

Is it in order to rescind that would it have to be the individuals that voted that the positive vote or the controller vote, or just anybody I thought anybody.

A

Down on that, one on the the motion to reconsider in if it's the same meeting has to be the people on a prevailing side, but we're sinned, I've heard it out what I saw from Robert's Rules it can be. Anybody can make the motion that we said that.

G

Can rescind it okay and was this just another point: was this also? This was discussed in committee, correct, didn't we have a that PG a was discussed. Yes, I'm talking with the marijuana, though right.

A

Yeah and it passed dear Betty, okay,.

G

A

So, okay, we all set um get kind of what the vote is the most one. Most one motion that to approve would be, which is on the floor, would be tool to rescind, and if that happens, by two-thirds majority vote, then there'd be a revote at the next foot board meeting. Yes, sir, so.

H

If I have a neighbor, that means that we do not want to resend correct previous decision correct. Thank you.

A

Alrighty motion on the floor and I guess it's a roll call vote. Mr.

Okay, so moving on no more old business, mr. Washington first I would.

Like to follow get to the board, I was supposed to be here to do the prayer this morning, but my both of my sons have been here for the weekend for the first time in a long long time and I enjoyed their company.

No need to apologize, tell Brandon, I said hello.

A

I need a motion to approve there. Mr. Washington second, mr. Snipes, any questions on that. Mr. leer Thank.

J

You, mr. chairman, once again just a minor point: this originally was on the agenda for finance, but we did not have all the information. Finance Committee gave kind of head not to go ahead and send this on to the board. Without any comment on it. Okay,.

A

Yeah I was not ready, so we could bring it here because it has to be done. So we want to make sure I think we're waiting on the state to get the letter. Yeah.

J

A

The way that that went, yeah.

J

A

Wasn't anything mark wasn't dragging his feet for change.

G

Snipes this just FYI. As you know, this is the 40th year for the Black History Program and there's the ad books. That's out and I think this is the last one. I did not I thought I did come to the board, but once I let the board know that this year's the 40s here at book for the Black History Program. As you know, this is a scholarship program that we basically have.

G

It is well attended to the number to the tune of about 2500 or method, see the show and on the sunday show, is packed out what about thirteen nine eleven to wear whatever it is, and you see the wonderful kids in the past five years, we've given out scholarships this one in spending to get it for $1,500.

G

If they participate in the Black History Program, then they qualify for the scholarships we want to give for because of the fortieth year, and so, if you in starting in January after the New Year's you'll, probably see something coming to you.

G

This is what is coming for what happened is at the end, I'm you're, getting a lot of individuals if I have a cutoff date, I can't get it in so to be fair, I'm saying it in December and it's on record so that no one says that I did not say you can be Democrat, Republican, libertarian anything you want to be. If you want an ad in the black history book, all you have to do.

G

You'll get something from me and then after that, let us know and get your stuff ready and our printing people over here on on Jeffrey, we'll be able to get the aircraft I think it is, will get that for you, but we appreciate it again, we're looking to Lisa and for students away with a thousand, but if we get more, it will increase from that point. However, so thank you for in advance for what you give and what you do and that's my spiel. Thank you. The other new.

A

Business spoke.

C

Yes, I would like to say the prayer breakfast is coming up. Roberts night.

C

Xx at the quality and so I'm going to be trying to get ads and tickets for the prayer breakfast for it to anybody that would like to go, and also I would like to say this. If anybody knows a rabbi, because it's an interfaith breakfast I would like to have a rabbi at the breakfast.

C

Thank you, you're.

A

Welcome all right: well, no any more new business! Mr. house.

M

I'm gonna make motion to adjourn, but before I do and that we keep fellow board member and friend Mike Lee, just in our prayers she's not doing very well so and I'd make a motion to adjourn.

A

Second, from miss, Dunbar and I would agree with you. Mr. Hess I need to keep Mike and our thoughts, our prayers, all those in favor say aye aye. Those opposed same sign have a good day.
