A
We
say
that
again
I'd
like
to
call
the
public
hearing

If
we
could
get
a
roll

C
A
Thank
you.
So
I
have
to
read
something
into
the
record,
but
I
did
want
to
note
one
change
on
it.
I
found
this
morning
it's
in
the
it's
in
towards
the
three
quarters
of
the
way,
the
the
first
paragraph
that
starts
good
morning.
Ladies
and
gentlemen,
it
said
the
existing
animal
control
facility
and
it's
actually
a
new
animal
control
facility.
So
when
that
was
drafted,
they
had
existing,
where
we
are
definitely
leaving
that
behind
far
behind
erase
it
from
our
memories.
No,
but
no
that
I
just
wanted.
A
So
if
there's
a
motion
to
approve
on
that,
so
I
can
get
through
reading.
I
can
read
this
into
the
record,
mr
hunter
and
mr
smith,
so
let
me
get
on
that
here.

Is

comments
to

I
didn't
receive
any
we
did.
A
Is
there
any
in-person
comments
on
this
matter
from
the
public
in
a
second
time
already
now
board
member
comments
or
questions
regarding
this?
Yes,
one
of
the
back
ms
peters.
D
Thank
you,
mr
chairman.
I
want
to
bring
to
the
attention
that
ed
valorum
taxes
means
that
that
is
an
assessed
value
of
an
item
such
as
real
estate
or
personal
property.
So
it
is
your
personal
property
which
is
guaranteeing
this
1.5
million
dollar
bond.
That
we've
been
told,
really
isn't.
Gonna
cost
us
anything,
but
it
can
and
probably
will,
and
so
I
will
be
voting
no.
A
Sure
is
there
anybody
that
has
a
thought
on
that
or
excuse
me
a
thought
on
the
bond
issuance.
E
E
So
the
question
was
we
also
had
on
the
website
that
someone
looked
and
asked
that
they
could
not
find
it.
So
I
want
to
make
sure
that,
if
we're
going
to
do
anything
as
far
as
bond,
I'm
not
an
objection
to
what
we're
doing
I'm
just
making
sure
the
process
is
such
as
can
be
transparent
to
the
people
and
that
they
had
a
real
obligation.
E
I
mean
a
real
opportunity
to
know
what
we're
doing
and
how
we're
going
to
proceed
in
doing
it
or
whatever,
and
then
this
I
do
agree
with
janice
avalorum
has
the
tendency
to
attach
the
taxpayers
properties
to
this.
E
Even
though
we
have
four
stated
that
it
will
be
coming
out
of
animal
control
and
that,
but
if
something
goes
south,
then
the
taxpayers
will
be
attached
to
this,
because
their
full
faith
and
credit
is
being
attached
to
this
via
their
property
tax,
which
allows
us
to
attach
it
to
a
bond
as
a
source.
So
you
stated
that
everything
that
needed
to
be
done
has
been
done
and
that
we
in
that
regard
is
my
understanding,
okay
and
then
the
last
part
of
this
is
the
avalorum
taxes.
E
Could
they
explain
that
particular
process
because
it
appears
as
if
individuals
are
having
some
concerns
with
what
is
an
avalorum
tax?
We
know,
but
do
they
know
and
that's
just
a
brief
narrative,
so
that
they're,
when
they
come
back
to
this
segment
after
we're
gone,
they
can
review
it
and
they
have
that
information.
A
Sure,
mr
mccarty
can
your
guest.
Do
you
guys
want
to
step
up
to
the
microphone
to
say
why
that
paragraph
is
in
there
the
way
that
it
is,
and
maybe
the
financial
dedication
that
we
actually
voted
on
already
within
the
finance
committee?
So
yes,
it'll
be
just
a
moment
because
we've
we've
been
through
this
process.
That's
one
of
the
things
that
we
actually
have
is
the
video
that
talks
about
all
of
this
as
well
up
there
forever.
So
please
go
ahead.
F
Thank
you
chairman,
good
morning,
good
morning.
Everyone
in
regards
to
the
question
about
the
ad
valorem
tax.
That
is,
a
backup
pledge
of
the
county
to
make
sure
that
the
bonds
are
paid.
So
the
pledge
revenues
to
pay
the
bonds
are
any
animal
control
revenues
that
are
being
collected
in
the
animal
control
fund
as
a
backup
pledge
to
get
the
best
interest
rate
for
the
county.
There's
a
property
tax,
assuming
there
are
no
other
revenues
available
from
the
county,
no
revenues
from
animal
control.
F
G
E
To
put
to
sleep,
the
reason
that
we
don't
have
to
take
this
to
the
taxpayers,
because
if
we
was
to
initiate
a
tax,
we
would
have
to
send
it
by
referendum
and
let
the
people
approve
it.
This
is
just
used
as
a
backup.
So
therefore
it
doesn't
require
us
to
place
anything
on
the
ballot
for
the
taxpayers,
approval.
F
Correct
this
is
an
alternate
revenue
source
bond,
so
taxpayers
have
the
opportunity
to
petition
the
county
not
to
issue
the
bonds,
but
it
does
not
go
to
a
general
referendum
question
at
a
normal
during
the
normal
election
cycle.
A
So
what
is
the?
What
was
the
projected
bond
payment
per
year?.
A
D
F
A
C
Let
me
just
say
this:
we've
had
our
financial
experts
to
address
this
bond
personnel
we've
had
miss
mccarty.
I
know
that
this
is
one
of
your
your
pet
projects.
I
think
actually
one
of
the
projects
of
all
of
us.
I
would
assume
that
the
present
facility
is
in
the
city
of
canaquila,
seventh
ward,
and
it's
in
substantial
disrepair.
C
This
particular
process
has
been
very
transparent.
I
don't
know
how
many
I
shouldn't
say
man
hours,
but
how
much
time
has
been
allocated
to
address
this
all
facets
that
are
incorporated
in
this
particular
matter.
That's
up
for
vote
have
been
discussed
and
I
I
called
for
the
vote.
E
I
think
it's
important
and
I
you
know,
I
appreciate
the
call
for
the
vote
in
the
whole
nine
yards,
but
when
there's
cause
it
comes
forth,
even
though
individuals
might
have
saw
it
or
they
may
not
have
saw
it
in
the
in
the
committee,
the
finance
committee,
or
even
in
the
committees,
whereas
this
was
also
brought
to
the
attention
of
of
of
the
members
that
served
in
respective
committees.
The
issue
is,
if
there's
at
the
county
board
level,
what
concerned
them.
E
It
wasn't
so
much
because
I
explained
to
them
the
process
of
how
the
monies
are
going
to
be
utilized
that
there's
bark
there's
if
tip
funds
in
the
whole.
Now,
yes,
I
did
that
the
concern
came
up
when
they
saw
the
word
avalor
taxes
and
so
in
order
to
put
it
to,
to
kind
of,
I
won't
say,
put
it
to
rest,
but
to
to
at
least
soothe
the
the
chaos
or
the
questions
that
they
had.
E
The
avalorum
tax
is
added
as
a
as
a
safeguard
and
a
two
to
use
to
lower
the
get
the
lowest
interest
rate
for
the
county.
However,
it
has
been
assured
that
there
is
ample
funds,
since
that,
when
I
sat
in
the
meetings
to
basically
support
and
to
finance
this
specific
project.
E
One
cent
is
there
a
possibility
that
something
could
go
south,
we
can
go
on
the
great
depressions
or
whatever
there
could
be,
but
at
this
point
in
what
I
think
is
110
000
dollars,
that's
going
to
be
contributed
to
this
source.
Looking
at
our
the
budget.
Looking
at
the
fees-
that's
that
has
already
been
collected
in
the
f-tip
funds
and
the
thing
is
going
to
kind
of
offset
some
of
these
these
numbers,
but
just
for
the
purpose
of
clarity.
E
E
I,
as
far
as
bargaining
is
concerned,
to
get
the
lowest
tax
rates
when
I'm
hearing.
F
One
other
important
part
before
we
can
even
even
issue
the
bonds.
Legal
counsel
requires
that
we
have
a
revenue
coverage,
covenant
that
the
revenues
coming
in
from
animal
control
support
at
least
125
percent
of
what
that
annual
payment
is.
F
A
A
So
this
the
concern
is,
is
I
understand
why
there
might
be
those
opportunities
to
to
voice
a
concern,
and
probably
should
people
should
know
that
the
backup,
just
like
all,
alternate
revenue
bonds,
is
the
general
fund,
but
we're
not
going
to
get
there
and
there
will
be
no
property
tax
money
of
our
local
taxpayers
used
in
that
building,
which
is,
I
don't
know,
really
never
happens.
B
A
Thank
you
for
the
record
who
made
the
motion
in
a
second
mr
hunter
and
mr
smith.
Thank
you
all
righty.
Is
there
a
motion
to
adjourn
this
part
of
the
meeting
miss
peter
second,
mr
hess,
all
those
in
favor,
say,
aye
same
sign
will
take
about
a
five
minute
break
or
whatever
need
we'll
come
right
back
with.
