Motion carries.

A

Under old business we have anything under old business. Tell you have anything. I.

C

Don't know if it'd be old business or new business, but uh we've been involved in the committee for the accelerate broadband program, we're looking at various options to bring broadband services county-wide throughout the county.

C

Sometime today on the county board's facebook page will be a a posting about our survey that we are distributing to collect information from our residents about their broadband service.

C

One of the most important parts of that survey is that there's a speed test where you can test the actual speed of your home internet to see if you're being adequately served or not. So I would encourage everyone to take that test and fill out that survey.

A

Okay, how's that available dell.

C

It's on it'll, be on the county board's facebook page. We are also going to be doing some direct mailings through uh various organizations. Okay, direct emails, okay,.

A

Yes, anyone have any questions about that. Okay, mr wheeler.

D

Thank you, mr chairman. The key is is that we, as board members and and reaching out to our list, ask our list of people to share it within their community, especially if they're connected to the rural area of the county. It's mainly for the people who don't have a comcast or uh what's the one in in moments, mediacom media mediacom. It's for people who don't have that local. You know service on for home internet, that's what we're trying to get to, but they usually get their internet on their phone.

D

You know through 5g or whatever 4g.

A

Okay, well, I don't think I get the right amount from comcast.

C

And it's okay for you to take it because you may be underserved even though you're getting comcast I'm getting charged. Your signal might not be as strong as it should be so yeah and anyone in kaneki county can take the survey okay, but our focus really is the rural areas. So any questions on that.

A

uh We have one opening on the kenky county, historic preservation, commission, um I don't know if anybody knows anybody is that have to be for a particular area. Dell.

C

uh No- uh and it doesn't say that it has to be for a particular uh uh background either, so it could be a board member then uh county board. No okay could not be a county board. Okay, that's what I.

A

Want to check right now: okay, anything else in a new business. Now you.

C

Have six openings on the kanke county, regional planning? Commission? Oh sorry,.

A

Are those uh actual vacancies? Are they.

C

One is saying: okay, are you just saying.

A

You need six, and you know five of them are going to stay here. One.

C

Is an actual opening? uh Five of them have not renewed their uh appointment yet. Okay,.

A

D

Mr wheeler, thank you, mr chairman. I would uh just suggest that some of those or most of those, the other five, are two and three years old uh that haven't been re because you're appointed in this in this paperwork until a replacement is found.

D

So if they're not going to reapply and if they I'll leave it up to dell to tell us if there's attendance issues, maybe we consider voting to make those spots vacant and then go out and find other people, because we're kind of holding them for them if you will, but we need to know that they're still active and engaged in the process.

D

I hope that makes sense. So the only thing that we would have to do would be to vote here to make those open seats. Okay,.

A

And that can't be board members either. No okay, well.

D

Actually, two candidates.

C

Yes, two county board members: okay, yes right! That was this.

A

In the paper we advertised it for this.

C

I don't believe we advertise it in the paper. No, it's on our it's on the website. Okay,.

A

C

Have any applications, I'm not aware of any attendance issues with any of these members either, but okay we'll look into it and see where we're at on it. Thank you.

A

Okay, anyone anyone else have anything for new business. If not I'd entertain a motion to adjourn mr snipes, I saw your hand move up through. First look at ms hudson, all in favor, say aye.
