You

We

A
F

A

H
H
Lacefield
executive
director
of
the
Kentucky
office
policy
and
good
morning,
it
is
great
to
be
back
with
you
as
Bill
and
I
were
walking
in
I
said.
You
know,
I
look
forward
to
this
every
month.
This
I
feel
like
this
is
our
chance
to
come
and
and
let
the
decision
makers
know
what's
going
on
with
the
AG
development
funds,
and
it
continues
to
be
a
busy
busy
time
in
Kentucky
agriculture.
I've
got
some
special
guests
with
me.
H
Today,
Hannah
Johnson
comes
every
every
month
with
us
and
she's
the
one
that
gets
all
our
reports
over
to
you
and
takes
care
of
that.
Her
titles,
the
boards
and
special
events
manager-
and
she
also
rides
heard
over
making
sure
we've
got
all
of
our
board
members
coming
to
each
board
meeting
with
28
total
board
spots
and
27
different
board
members
that
and
all
the
volunteer
board.
H
As
you
know,
that
that
takes
some
doing
to
coordinate
and
we
appreciate
everything
she
does
Tara
Roberts
with
us
has
been
with
us
a
few
months.
He
is
our
new
Loan
program
manager.
We
have
two
of
those
running
our
Finance
program
again
over
110
million
in
assets
and
we're
doing
that
with
two
dedicated
employees,
and
that
is
largely
thanks
to
the
partnership
that
we
have
with
our
participating
lenders
and
was
going
to
have
both
of
my
interns
with
us
this
summer.
We're
very
excited.
H
They
started
this
week
and
our
interns,
a
large
part
of
what
they
do
each
summer,
is
work
on
the
annual
report
that
we'll
be
providing
you
all
in
the
fall.
H
That
is
the
best
Outreach
publication
that
we've
got
and
showcases
all
that
we
have
going
on,
but
only
had
one
was
able
to
make
it
Braden
Porter
and
chairman
Dawson
you'll
you'll
recognize
the
porter
name
from
Christian
County
he's
a
Christian
County
native,
as
is
the
the
chairman
and
I,
and
his
father
was
my
dentist
Dr
Wesley
Porter
and
he's
a
at
the
University
of
Kentucky
AG
econ
and
finance
major
and
has
spent
spent
last
summer
interning
with
judge
Atkins
back
back
home.
H
So
he's
getting
the
experience
of
AG
policy
with
us
today,
our
other
intern
and
since
I
guess
we
won't
have
a
July
meeting.
You
won't
get
a
chance
to
meet
him,
but
you
you
knew
his
older
brother
that
came
with
us
several
times:
Martin
Williams
that
worked
in
our
our
office
for
several
years,
but
Benjamin
Williams
is
another
UK
AG
econ
student
from
Nelson
County,
and
he
is
former
State
president
of
FFA
and
is
missing
today,
because
he
is
interviewing
for
a
National
FFA
office.
H
So
we're
very
proud
of
him
and
definitely
gave
him
an
excused
absence
for
what
he's
doing
since
bill
and
I
were
with
you
last
time,
we've
had
another
board
meeting
for
both
AG
finance
and
AG
development,
but
have
also
continued
operations
throughout
the
state.
But
right
after
we
left
you
all.
Last
last
month,
bill
and
I
went
over
to
Scott
County
to
Elmwood
stock
farms
and
and
tour
that
operation.
Max
stone
is
one
of
our
board
members
on
the
AG
Finance
board
and
he
and
his
family.
H
The
Bell
family
operate
this
and
it
is
a
fascinating
operation,
a
regenerative
agriculture,
organic
doing
doing
cells
to
Consumers
through
both
the
CSA
or
the
community,
supported
agriculture
model
and
then
through
retail
sales.
But
as
we
were
Touring
that
I
lost
count
with
how
many
different
Enterprises
they
have
I
I
just
was
blown
away
with
everything
that
they
were
doing
and
Bill
and
I
usually
travel
with
a
cooler
as
we
travel
in
two
of
these
places.
So
we
can
purchase
some
samples
everywhere.
We
go.
H
My
wife
wonders
why
I
keep
you
know
the
freezer's
full
Brian,
but
yet
you
keep
adding
to
it,
but
I
gave
a
good
taste
test
to
several
of
their
stakes
and
getting
getting
Prime
grade
on
a
grass-fed
beef
that
that
was
impressive.
We
bill
and
I
also
spoke
to
the
Virginia
AG
leadership
group.
Talking
again
about
this,
this
this
International
model
Senator
Webb
of
of
what
has
happened
here
in
Kentucky
with
the
master
settlement
agreement
dollars
and
that's
always
a
great
one.
H
We
get
to
share
with
other
states
what
what
is
going
on
in
Virginia,
also
a
very
tobacco
dependent
State
at
the
time.
This
happened
and
has
not
done
the
same
as
we
have
with
the
the
spring
allocation,
this
year's
money
hitting
all
the
county
accounts.
We
have
had
a
lot
of
County
Council
meetings
across
the
state.
H
The
other
night
we
had
six
spread
out
across
the
state
and
thanks
to
a
great
team,
we
were
able
to
cover
every
one
of
them
and
and
assist
with
with
facilitating
those
and
continue
to
have
our
training
for
our
county
level.
Administrators
of
our
program.
H
So
it's
been
a
been
a
busy
month,
but
getting
a
lot
out
the
door
go
to
page
two
in
your
your
packet
that
we
provided
is
our
update
from
the
AG
Finance
last
month,
a
busy
month,
first
time,
I
think
in
a
while
we
have
had
all
five
of
our
loan
programs
represented.
We
had
five
different
participation:
loan
programs,
our
AG
infrastructure
program,
our
AG
processing
the
deal
program,
which
is
the
diversification
through
entrepreneurship
and
AG
business.
H
It's
our
AG
business
loan
and
then
our
large
and
food
animal
veterinary
Loan
program
that
when
we
we
do
not
have
I
think
that
makes
the
18th
loan
we've
done
on
that
that
project,
but
five
AG
infrastructure
loans.
Seven
beginning
farmer
is
that's
the
the
biggest
portion
of
our
our
number
of
loans
and
dollars
in
the
portfolio
and
then
one
of
each
of
the
the
other
three
programs.
H
But
2.29
million
in
total
participation,
loans
from
AG
Finance
funds,
but
a
total
part
of
7.7
million
in
capital
projects
across
the
state
I
thought
it
was
a
good
representation
of
participating
lenders.
We
had
two
of
our
three
Farm
Credit
Systems,
six
different
Community
Banks
and
one
Economic
Development
Corporation,
so
just
again
showing
the
diversity
of
participating
lenders
that
we
work
with
and
again
credit
these
partners
for
how
we're
able
to
to
do
so.
Much
all
right,
I'll
pause
there
and
then
bill
can
walk
you
through
some
of
the
county
level
programs.
I
All
right,
we'll
turn
to
page
three
and
we'll
get
an
update
on
the
approval
for
the
cape
program.
County
Agriculture
investment
program,
you're
called
about
16
million
dollars,
was
allocated
to
the
counties
this
year
when
the
master
settlement
agreement
payment
came
in
it's
about
85
percent
of
that
County
money
is
invested
in
the
cape
program.
So
there's
a
couple
of
counties:
I
want
to
point
out.
Webster
County
has
the
asterisk
Webster
County
Union
County,
Pike,
County
and
Martin
County
or
counties
that
are
getting
the
third
year.
I.
I
Think
we've
done
of
the
state
funds
being
allocated
those
counties
that
don't
receive
a
lot
of
money
or
less
than
thirty
thousand
dollars.
For
example,
Union
County
922
dollars
was
their
allocation,
so
they
haven't
been
able
to
do
many
programs
in
that
county.
Pike
County
is
one
of
those
two
counties
not
being
the
other
one.
That
does
not
get
any
allocation,
and
if
you
recall
that
the
allocation
formula
was
set
up
back
in
house
bill,
611,
11,
Senator,
Webb
I
think
was
representative
Webb
at
that
time.
I
So
when
we
get
that
County
money
allocation,
then
we
plug
that
into
that
formula
and
let
the
counties
know
how
much,
for
example,
representative
Mercer
County
received
this
year,
230
279
dollars
and
they
they
approved
204
000
of
it
for
the
cape
program
going
down
some
of
these
other
counties:
Davis
County,
they're,
Cape
administrators
Green,
River
beef,
Improvement
group,
their
allocation
this
year,
Senator
Boswell's,
is
209.
I
Any
questions
on
the
cape
program
again,
there's
11
different
investment
areas
in
the
cape
programs,
that
was
2
million
five
hundred
fourteen
thousand
six
hundred
thirty
four
dollars.
Next.
Moving
on
to
page
four,
we've
got
some
different
programs
here:
first
starting
off
the
the
cease
farm
animal
movable
program,
so
that
was
three
entities
which
all
our
Fiscal
Court
administer
and
the
dead
animal
removal,
a
program
for
thirty
four
thousand
eight
hundred
thirteen
dollars,
and
they
can
utilize
County
money
up
to
25
percent
of
their
total
budget,
not
to
exceed
fifteen
thousand
dollars.
I
So
for
Montgomery
and
Nelson
County,
the
Fiscal
Court.
They
have
a
dedicated
truck
an
employee,
picking
up
dead
animals
taking
them
to
the
landfill
in
Harrison
County.
They
contract
with
a
company
called
Countryside
on
moving
on
to
the
next
Generation
program.
So
this
is
can
be
a
county,
can
select
a
Target
beginning,
Farmers
age
18
to
40.
That
may
not
be
as
competitive
in
the
the
cape
program.
I
So
again
it
gives
the
the
county
opportunity
to
set
some
money
aside
on
a
cost,
share
basis
or
cost
share
program
that
basically
mirrors
the
cape
program
under
shared
use
of
equipment.
You've
got
two,
two
counties
were
approved
and
the
most
is
reported
in
the
past.
The
most
popular
shared
use,
equipment
purchased
is
no-till,
drills.
That's
the
case.
I
Here,
Hart
County,
Cattlemen's
Association,
so
that
thirty
six
thousand
dollars
that
represents
75
five
percent
of
the
purchase
price
of
so
the
applicant
comes
up
with
25
percent
and
then
Christian
County
representative
dossett,
that
is
for
purchase
of
a
manure
spreader.
So
apparently
that's
a
demand
or
a
need
that
they
have
in
the
county
and
that's
on
what
we
have
a
pre-approved
list.
A
And
Bill,
let
me
share
something
on
that.
I
hear
a
numerous
times
during
the
month.
For
my
my
wife,
that's
just
about
to
many
are
being
spreaded
there
that
spread
there
close
to
my
house,
but
it
as
I've
had
Farmers,
say
it's
gold
he's.
I
Gone
I
was
lobbing.
You
a
softball
on
there,
I
thought
you
might
run
with
that,
one
all
right
and
then
moving
on
to
the
youth
program.
Again,
this
is
a
opportunity
to
make
investments
with
County
money
to
to
use
to
cost
share.
Most
of
them
are
livestock
recently
in
Nicholas
County
working
on
a
new
administrator
up
there
and
we
turned
Some
Farms,
where
the
app
the
youth
are
used,
the
money
to
for
goats,
sheep,
Hogs
or
cattle
that
they're
going
to
show
in
a
different
shows
county
level.
I
Maybe
it's
a
it's
a
state
fair
as
well,
so
that
totals
two
million
seven
hundred
sixty
thousand
six
hundred
and
eighteen
dollars
and
then
moving
on
to
page
five.
So
there's
there's
three
Cape
administrators
here
that
have
been
approved
back
in
March,
so
they're
all
able
to
utilize
some
of
their
bounce.
I
They
had
at
that
time
to
go
ahead
and
start
administering
or
running
the
cape
program
and
then,
when
the
new
money
comes
in,
they'll,
come
in
and
amend
it,
so
you
can
see
on
Campbell,
County,
Conservation,
District
they're
approved
back
in
March
for
thirty
thousand
seven
hundred
twenty
five
dollars.
I
So,
oh,
the
added
thirty
thousand
seven
hundred
twenty
five
dollars
to
to
their
amount
that
was
approved
earlier
back
on
March
and
they
have
a
year
to
spend
the
money
and
they
can
go
retroactive
back
six
months
from
the
time
that
Brian
Lacefield
signs
the
legal
agreement.
So
we
we
learned
early
on
that.
You
had
to
set
a
deadline
to
disperse
the
funds.
If
not,
they
send
it
back
and
then
it
rolls
over
in
their
account
and
they
can
use
it
for
for
next
year.
I
So
Montgomery
County,
Conservation
District
originally
approved
for
83
000,
so
they're
going
to
add
117,
000
or
new
money
to
bring
that
up
to
200
and
then
Owen
County
Farm
Bureau
was
approved
initially
for
150
and
so
they're
going
to
add
300
000
of
their
new
funds
to
bring
it
to
450
000.
H
And
let
me
just
jump
in
real
quick
bill,
while
you're
doing
that
we've
got
so
many
new
committee
members
with
that
and
one
one
of
the
things
is
I.
I
travel,
the
state
and
the
staff
does
in
talking
with
the
different
members
of
these
county
councils
is
a
misunderstanding
that
these
funds
could
end
up.
If
you
don't
spend
them
all
in
one
year,
they
could
disappear,
be
turned
back
to
the
state.
That
is
not
how
the
statute
is
said.
H
That
is
not
how
the
accounting
works
that
once
the
the
funds
are
allocated
based
on
that
formula,
Bill
talked
about
they.
They
remain
in
that
county
for
forever
and
even
our
paid
interest
on
any
of
the
county
balances
that
are
in
there
and
when
you
see
these
in
amended
applications,
I
I
actually
really
like
when
I
see
counties
do
this
because
they
the
cape
program.
H
Obviously,
as
we
talk
about
every
every
time,
we're
here
is
is
the
most
popular
use
of
County
funds
out
there,
but
you
also
don't
know
what
other
applications
may
come
in
throughout
a
year
and
if
all
the
money
is
allocated
day,
one
to
one
program,
you
may
miss
out
on
some
really
good
opportunities
that
the
these
County
councils
may
want
to
support.
I
All
right,
we'll
move
on
to
projects
we're
on
page
six,
we've
got
the
Woodford
County
Fiscal
Court
requested
fifty
thousand
dollars
from
their
County
Agriculture
Development
Council
was
subsequently
approved
by
the
AG
development
board
for
50
000
of
Woodford
County
funds.
So
apparently
the
Woodford
County
County
Council
decided.
This
was
something
this
was
a
priority
that
they
wanted
to
support,
so
they
did
commit
fifty
thousand
dollars
of
their
funds
for
to
install
permanent
bleachers
there
in
the
Woodford
County
Parks.
A
lot
of
Agriculture
activities
go
on
there
at
the
at
the
Woodford
County
Park.
I
Next,
we
have
on
page
seven
Auburn
University
is
requesting
sixty
four
thousand
dollars,
sixty
four
thousand
eight
hundred
eighty
dollars
in
state
funds
over
a
two
two
year
period
for
to
fund
travel
costs
and
student
stipends
for
Recruitment
and
supportive
veterinarians
in
rural
areas
of
of
Kentucky.
I
So
this
is
trying
to
address
Senator
Boswell,
the
shortage
of
large
animal
veterinarians,
and
this
has
been
a
trend
for
several
years,
not
only
in
Kentucky,
but
it's
Nation
Nationwide
and
several
years
ago
we
developed,
and
we
still
have
that
program.
We
I
think
we
reported
on
that
a
large
large
animal,
large
food
animal
veterinary
Loan
program
that
we
again
several
years
ago.
We
established
that
what
we
learned
was
when
students
graduate
from
veterinary
school
at
Auburn.
I
They
usually
come
back
and
work
in
a
practice
a
couple
of
years,
and
then
they
decide
about
three
different
Avenues:
either
they
they
a
sales
employee
or
buy
into
the
practice.
They
might
work
off
the
back
of
their
truck
Ambulatory
Service
or
they
may
build
their
own
practice,
and
so
we've
provided
AG
Finance
funds
to
help
that
end.
I
Where
we
get
back
to
this
project,
back
in
2017,
Auburn
University
was
approved
for
a
240
248
000
USDA
Grant,
to
be
able
to
do
some
Outreach
in
Kentucky.
So
it
was
over
several
years,
starting
in
2017,
where
they
coordinated
meetings
with
veterinary
clinics
across
the
state
to
basically
evaluate
their
business
with
some
of
their
students
and
then
make
recommendations
on
maybe
how
the
business
could
be
more
efficient,
be
more
profitable
because
there's
certainly
more
challenges
with
large
animal
practices
versus
small
animal.
I
That's
what
they're
competing
with,
because
in
a
small
animal
practice
they
the
clients,
bring
them
into
the
veterinary
clinic
and
just
like
a
regular
I
guess,
human
doctor,
you
go
from
room
to
room
and
to
provide
the
medical
service
and
that's
same
thing
on
small
animals.
That's
more
profitable!
So
that's!
Why
we're
seeing
more
of
the
veterinarians
gear
gravitate
to
small
small
animals,
but
part
of
this
study
that
Auburn
did
again
fundable.
I
So
the
thought
was:
let's
visit
with
auburn
Keith
Rogers
chief
of
staff,
department,
Agriculture
and
and
myself
visit
with
Auburn
University
back
last
fall
to
talk
about.
How
could
we
continue
to
address
this
this
issue
and
he
said
well
what
about
us
duplicating
this
study?
It's
a
proven
model
with
ag
development
board,
be
supportive
of
doing
it
again
here
in
2023.
So
that's
how
this
application
came
about,
and
certainly
the
AG
development
board
is
supported.
So
this
study
will
help
address
it.
I've
already
talked
about
that
AG
finance
loan
program.
I
The
AG
development
board,
has
also
provided
some
grant
money
available.
I
think
we've
got
an
application
later
that
Brian's
going
to
present
on
where
a
veterinarian
can't
access
up
to
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
as
a
grant
to
buy
into
practice
or
existing
practice
to
buy
equipment
related
to
our
large
animal.
Talk
a
little
bit
more
about
that
when
that
project
comes
up
where
they
can,
if
they
access.
If
they
get
a
commitment
of
County
money,
they
can
access
State
money
up
to
a
five
five
to
one
match.
A
Bill
one
moment:
Senator
Webb.
J
I
just
want
Auburn
was
up
here
too
for
the
benefit
of
the
new
members
a
few
years
ago
in
Mass,
really
with
their
people
from
the
vet
school
asking
you
know.
Having
that
communication
I
appreciate
you
following
up
like
that.
I
think
this
is
one
of
the
innovative
ways
to
do.
This
I
speak
to
pre-vet
students
at
Moorhead,
quite
a
bit
in
trying
to
encourage
them
to
not
only
come
home,
but
to
do
large
animal
practice.
Yesterday,
I
got
a
call
from
Ashland
now
they're
saying:
there's
not
enough
small
animal
bits.
J
Okay,
so
I
mean
this
is
just
asking.
You
know
what
we
could
do.
I
said
well
we're
trying.
You
know
we're
trying
to
incent
and
do
these
things,
because
these
kids
get
out
with
a
load
of
student
debt
and
it's
hard
to
buy
into
to
anything
but
I
think
when
the
modernization
ACT
I
think
the
veterinary
Practice
modernization
Act
that
we
did
here,
you
know,
does
have
a
Telehealth
component
and
I
think
what
we're
going
to
have
to
see.
J
I
think
that'll
alleviate
the
burden
on
the
existing
large
practitioners,
but
also
the
federal
drug
laws
are
going
to
increase
the
pressure
on
those
relationships
and
their
presence
being
needed
everywhere
with
antibiotics
and
those
other
other
Federal
Regulations,
so
I.
J
What
I
anticipate
too
is
that
you're
going
to
get
some
requests,
maybe
for
veterinarian
Telehealth
and
especially
in
the
large
animal
field
and
I,
think
that's
going
to
be
something
that
we
can
do
to
help
these
individuals
be
more
accessible
in
the
Large
Animal
Practice,
because
the
federal
regulations
and
the
kvma
protocols
are
going
to
put
additional
pressure
on
what
practitioners
we
have.
But
thank
you.
I
Okay,
continue
all
right.
Move
on
to
page
eight
you've
got
the
Logan
County
Conservation
District
was
approved
for
50
5400
in
Logan
County
funds
to
purchase
a
material
roller
be
used
as
shared
use
of
equipment
to
oh,
the
application
is
spreading
out
these
soil,
erasing
soil
erosion,
blankets,
you've
probably
seen
them
on
the
highways
going
down
the
going
down
the
interstate,
where
they
roll
out
these
erosion,
blankets
that
have
grass
seed
in
them.
I
H
All
right
on
page
nine,
we've
talked
about
veterinarians
quite
a
bit
and
Bill
did
a
great
job
that
was
several
of
the
things
I
was
going
to
talk
about
in
in
in
this
loan
about
the
initiative.
What
we're
doing
and
again
want
to
complement
the
commissioner
and
his
leadership
of
bringing
a
task
force
together
to
to
get
all
the
stakeholders
involved
to
have
these
discussions
about
what
we
can
do,
because
to
Senator
Webb's
point:
it's
going
to
take
a
combination
of
things.
H
There
is
not
one
thing:
that's
going
to
fix
this
this
problem
and
we're
we're
thankful
that
we
have
a
couple
of
tools
within
the
AG
development
toolbox
that
that
we
can
help,
and
this
one
was
the
new
program
that
that
has
launched
out
of
out
of
the
these
discussions
and
as
of
needs.
Loans
are
great,
but
Senator
Webb
mentioned
when
you
graduate
from
from
professional
school,
and
you
have
a
pile
of
debt,
which
we
learned
even
with
the
reciprocity
agreement.
H
That's
provided
with
with
the
general
assembly
to
send
Kentucky
students
to
Auburn
our
students
are,
are
leaving
with
nearly
a
quarter
million
dollars
in
debt,
and
so
the
the
loan
is
is
good,
but
we
we
thought,
is
there
other
incentives
around
for
doing
that,
and
so
we
launched
a
grant
level
program
to
provide
up
to
75
percent
of
cost
share
for
projects.
H
That
would
be
anything
that
is
related
to
the
the
original,
the
original
Loan
program,
where
you
can
buy
into
an
existing
practice,
whether
you
can
expand
to
practice
or
whether
you
can
buy
equipment
and
the
the
requirement
is
the
equipment
has
to
be
related
to
large
animal.
That
I
mean
could
could
be
small,
animal
could
use
it,
but
it
has
to.
It
has
to
be
specifically
for
large
animal
one.
H
Additional
component
of
this,
as
we
we
learned
in
visiting
with
with
existing
veterinarians
and
our
stakeholders,
is
the
the
ambulatory
practice
that
bill
was
mentioning
where
a
lot
of
times
there
isn't
an
actual
brick
and
mortar
practice,
but
the
practice
is:
is
mobile.
It's
the
truck
and
the
vet
kit
on
the
back
of
the
truck.
So
this
this
was
a
lot
of
discussion
within
the
committee
and
then
ultimately,
the
board
on.
Do
we
go
that
route
because
we
have
not,
in
our
our
existence,
funded
things
with
motors?
H
It's
not
been
where
we've
not
done
the
the
vehicles,
but
in
this
case
an
exception
was
made
for
for
this
program
to
include
this
and
wanted
to
try
to
think
too
how
we
can
continue
to
provide
oversight
for
what
we're
doing
and
so
made
a
component
that
is
different
than
a
lot
of
our
other
state
level
programs.
H
But
it's
a
requirement
to
have
county
level
participation,
so
you've
got
the
the
gatekeeper
there
at
the
the
local
level
and
that's
the
thing
that
was
set
up
the
best
when,
when
House
Bill
611
created,
this
is
keeping
as
much
Authority
at
the
local
level
as
possible,
and
and
so
this
this
requirement
again
will
do
a
five
to
one
match.
H
So,
there's
a
real
big
leverage
of
County
to
State
funds,
we'll
put
five
dollars
in
estate
funds
for
every
dollar
of
County,
but
have
to
have
those
County
funds
involved
because
they're
going
to
be
the
ones
that
know
is
this
practice
taking
care
of
the
needs
of
the
folks
in
this
community,
and
we
had
our
very
first
one.
We've
had
a
lot
of
conversations
and
we're
working
through
some
other
applications.
H
This
one
A
Little,
River,
Veterinary
Clinic
in
Trigg
County,
was
the
first
one
and
it
is
not
I
just
it
is
not
for
a
vehicle.
It
is
just
for
for
equipment.
But
I
wanted
to
explain
this
to
this
oversight
committee,
the
that
we
may
see
one
of
those
coming
through
sometime,
and
that
was
the
spirit
of
what
we're
doing.
But
this
this
this
request
was
for
a
total
project
of
seventy
eight
thousand
two
hundred
ninety
nine
dollars
for
for
the
equipment
and
the
the
building
equip
building
and
equipment
for
this.
H
The
practice
that
is
a
large
animal
practice,
and
so
with
the
math
to
get
the
48
936
dollars
of
State
funds,
Trigg
County,
committed
9788,
and
that
was
our
approval
last
month,
was
contingent
upon
that
I
can
report
that
they
met
last
night
and
and
did
approve
this.
So
all
this
this
will
happen
and
then
the
other
25
percent
coming
from
the
the
applicant
so
I
think
this
has
been
a
good
example
of
this
month.
H
Where
we've
had
we've
had
a
loan
with
the
veterinary
program,
we've
had
the
grant
where
we're
going
to
be
working
with
the
precept
program
and
then
now
our
first
Grant
on
the
AG
development
side
so
excited
to
see
some
things
coming
out
of
these
stakeholder
meetings.
That
we've
been
talking
about.
B
Thank
you,
Mr
chair.
It's
more
of
a
comment
than
a
question
for
the
benefit
of
the
committee
members.
I
would
like
to
draw
your
attention
to
the
paragraph
about
application
summary
if
you're
not
familiar
with
especially
cattle
handling,
it
talks
about
efficiency
and
and
other
considerations
there,
but
it
is
a
huge
safety
consideration.
If
you're
trying
to
convince
an
animal
the
size
of
a
Volkswagen,
what
to
do
to
help
treat
them
and
care
for
them,
they
don't
feel
good
they're
grouchy,
but
these
sweep
tubs
and
these
alleys.
B
So
some
people
may
not
realize
again
how
dangerous
it
can
be
to
you
know
to
to
medicate
and
treat
cows,
but
if
you
think
of
them
as
trying
to
convince
a
Volkswagen
that
you
want
them
to
do
something
they
may
not
be
so
inclined
to
do,
it
may
make
that
paragraph.
Make
more
sense.
Thank
you
very
much
to
keep
those
people
safe
well,.
A
H
H
Can't
appreciate
it,
and
that's
that's
something
too,
that
you
can
tie
back
to
the
success
of
this
whole
program
when
you
look
at
the
cattle
handling
facilities
that
have
been
bought
with
with
call
share
money
at
the
county
level
throughout
the
state.
It
has
been
a
game
changer
over
the
last
two
decades
and.
B
One
example
of
how
that
can
work
is
picture
in
your
mind,
a
huge
field,
and
then
we
bring
them
into
a
smaller
field
and
then
a
smaller
pin
and
things
are
just
getting
smaller
and
smaller.
The
animal
is
calm
and
not
considering
this
threatening
and
then
the
sweep
tube,
just
kind
of
convinces
them
to
go
into
this
shoot
and
then
receive
the
care
and
and
tender
care
that
they
need.
So
thank
you.
I.
Just
don't
know
that
everybody
realizes.
D
J
You
can
tell
Carrie's
got
a
good
farm
hand,
but
when
you
consider
the
age
of
The
Producers,
including
myself,
you
know
that's
more
important
than
ever,
but
I
just
the
budget
side
of
me.
You
mentioned
something
about
slots
and
again
we've
got
some
new
members
and
when
you
see
those
slot
allocations
in
the
budget,
that's
very
important.
It
is
a
historical
thing
that
we
have
done.
J
We
have
tried
to
expand,
but
the
main
thing
is,
as
we
come
to
the
budget
cycle,
that
we
preserve,
we
preserve
those
slots
and
the
funding
attached
there
with
to
continue
that
feeder
program.
If
you
will
veterinarians
from
Kentucky-
and
you
know-
maybe
something
that
we
want
to
enhance
so
the
budget
side
of
me
just
felt
compelled
to
to
say
when
you
see
that
in
the
budget,
that's
a
historical
well-proven
expenditure
that
we
might
want
to
look
to
expand.
But
thank
you.
That's.
I
Good
point:
Senator
Webb
and
my
observation
and
discussion
I
had
when
went
to
Auburn
University
on
how
to
address
that
one
way
would
probably
be
the
selection
process
of
the
students
or
the
students
willing
to
go
back
and
work
large
animals.
So
I
think
they've
got
to
look
at
their
evaluation.
They've
agreed
to
do
that
as
well.
So
there's
a
lot
of
different
tools,
as
Brian
mentioned,
that
we're
we've
gotten
a
toolbox
to
try
and
address
this
going
for
them.
C
Have
more
of
a
comment
than
a
question
recently:
I
I
attended
back
home
a
Farm
Bureau
meeting
and
I
want
to
congratulate
you
on
your
messaging,
because
I
think
the
messaging
that
there
is
a
need
for
more
large
animal
veterinarians
was
quite
evident
in
that
meeting
when
they
were
awarding
scholarships
to
newly
graduating
high
school
students,
and
it
was
a
long
selection
process
and
a
lot
of
applications.
C
But
I
was
very
encouraged
to
see
a
law,
a
large
number
of
those
scholarships
awarded
to
those
going
in
to
the
vet
field
and
particularly
large
animals.
So
I
just
want
to
congratulate
you
on
that.
I
think
that
messaging-
and
you
spoke
of
it
earlier,
is
sharing
that
message
and
getting
that
out
and
there's
a
lot
more
people
involved
in
this
and
than
just
the
state,
but
I
see
that
messaging,
taking
hold
and
I
see
our
youth
starting
to
to
gravitate
towards
that
program.
So
thank
you
for
that.
Well,.
I
I
Farmers
Market
projects,
which
typically
benefit
the
producers
or
farmers
in
the
county,
are
going
to
be
limited
to
County
money
only,
but
the
AG
development
board
has
made
farmers
markets
a
priority
for
several
years
now,
where
they
will
provide
with
County
money,
contributed
up
to
or
up
to
250
000
between
County
and
state
money.
So
this
is
the
case
here
where
the
AG
development
board
approved
50
000
County
money
into
200
000
in
state
funds
to
help
get
this
project
moving.
I
I
The
next
one
page,
12,
Senator,
Boswell
I,
think
there's
a
project
in
your
area.
Davis
County,
Conservation
District,
is
administering
their
own
youth
youth
program.
It's
a
little
bit
different
in
that
it's
more
competitive.
Where
this
the
program
we
reported
on
earlier
requires
that
a
county
that
adopts
the
state
guidelines
for
youth
program
in
the
county.
The
money
has
to
be
prorated
among
the
the
applicants.
In
this
case,
it's
a
scoring
system
where
each
one
that's
a
youth,
that's
approved,
is
approved
for
up
to
a
thousand
two
hundred
and
fifty
dollars.
I
All
right,
staying
with
Davis
County,
so
on
page
13,
Green
Day,
was
approved
for
twelve
thousand
dollars
in
County
funds
for
their
2024
Expo.
So
it's
my
understanding.
This
is
going
to
be
the
50th
year
of
the
Ag
Expo.
So
they've
requested
more
money.
I
They
normally
do
usually
in
a
budget
around
the
five
thousand
dollars,
so
I
think
they're
wanting
to
add
a
little
bit
more
Glitz
to
the
the
program
in
2014
when
they'll
be
celebrating
their
50th
year
of
having
Ag
Expo,
and
this
attracts
vendors
that
sell
equipment
and
farmers
in
in
the
region
to
attend
this
program
and
it's
coordinated
with
UK
with
some
educational
sessions
as
well.
I
All
right,
moving
on
to
page
14,
another
youth
program
has
been
submitted
by
Justin
County
FFA
Alumni
Association
mentioned
here.
They've
been
administering
a
youth
program
since
2001
on
a
50
50
cost
share
up
to
500
dollars,
so
they
have
a
graduation
type,
Arrangement
or
structure
to
theirs.
With
they
come
back
a
second
year,
they're
going
to
less
money
until
they
eventually
graduate
out
as
a
way
to
spread
the
money
around
in
Jessamine
County.
H
They
they
have
received
AG
development
funds
in
the
past
for
other
other
projects
that
they
have
done
and
I
had
a
new
request
in
for
for
a
million
dollars
that
was
going
to
expand
their
facility
and
get
equipment
that
is
necessary
to
wash
refine
and
process
beef
tripe
now
normally
trife
is
part
of
the
try
to
the
awful
is
the
waste
and
would
not
be
utilized.
This
is
a
chance
to
to
capture
this
and
turn
it
into
further
value-added.
H
Good
tripe
buffer
for
those
that
are
not
familiar
is
the
the
stomach
lining
of
a
ruminant
animal
and
most
of
the
time
it's
beef
consumed.
It
is
more
popular
outside
the
US
than
inside
the
U.S,
and
they
have
a
a
a
arrangement
with
China
that
is
going
to
be
buying
this
tripe
as
they
process
it.
So
there
will
be
some
some
expansion
to
capacity,
but
largely
this.
H
This
project
is
going
to
further
make
the
the
processing
more
more
valuable,
as
is
taking
something
normally
be
a
waste
product
and
turning
it
into
a
to
a
finished
product
to
sell.
H
So
the
AG
development
funds
will
fund
this
at
a
million
dollars,
but
we'll
transfer
it
over
to
the
AG
Finance
Corp
to
where
this
will
be
a
this
will
be
returned
with
principal
and
interest
subject
to
the
terms
of
how
the
AG
Finance
would
be
so,
we've
done
several
like
this
and
how
that
how
they
have.
But
that's
that's
how
this
this
project
was
funded
and
was
approved.
K
Like
a
good
project,
just
have
one
question
so
on
the
money
that
that
the
million
dollars
has
put
up
the
whole
project
on
the
money.
That's
being
put
up
this
project,
how
who
oversees
the
construction
so
that
so
you
know
there
are
some
well
anyway.
How
do
I
know
that
the
money
is
spent
for
that
building
and
who
oversees
the
project?
Oh.
H
That
is
a
great
question
and
thank
you
for
asking
for
benefit
of
all
the
the
new
new
members
on
the
committee
we
fund
at
the
end
on
our
our
project.
So
this
will
work,
and
this
is
the
same
process
as
everything
we
do
with
the
AG
Finance
part
of
our
our
portfolio
and
Shop.
Is
we
partner
with
the
participating
lenders
they're?
They
lend
money
for
a
living.
We
we
come
in
at
the
end
of
the
project.
H
After
everything
is
complete
and
then
we
will
buy
the
participation
up
to
50
percent
and
we
will
have
documentation
for
the
draws
and
everything
that
was
spent
from
that
Banker
or
remember
the
Farm
Credit
system,
but
because
of
that
exact
problem
of
making
sure
we're
having
to
be
oversight
on
every
draw.
That's
why
we
pay
the
lenders.
The
75
basis
points
out
of
the
the
the
interest
that's
paid
back
from
the
The
Borrowers
is
for.
E
J
Well,
and
in
in
the
shop
shop
scenario,
I
mean
they
have
a
historical
track
record
as
well.
They
were
one
of
the
first
meet
projects
that
we've
done
years
ago
and
I'm
pretty
familiar
with
it.
It's
close
to
me
and
if
you
go
to
the
stockyard,
you
see
the
volume
of
meat
they
buy
in
the
Bluegrass
area.
So
as
a
producer,
but
I
mean
this
particular
entity
has
a
pretty
proven
track
record
and
their
expansion,
you
know,
would
be
deemed
to
me
in
that
light.
But
thank
you.
Mr
chairman.
You.
I
Remember
Senator
Webb
that
originated
out
working
with
with
the
wolf
County
Fiscal,
Court
or
executive
director
that
time
Roger
Thomas
to
help
them
launch
that
project,
so
they've
been
able
to
scale
that
business
up
into
a
profitable
business.
It's
taken
them
several
years,
but
it's
a
major
player
in
the
in
the
cattle
industry
here
in
Kentucky
now.
H
If
no
other
questions
we'll
move
on
to
page
16.,
this
was
an
application
from
Robert
Fox
Jr
from
Lee
County
was
requesting
five
thousand
dollars
in
state
funds
to
purchase
a
portable
sawmill
for
his
property.
This
this
project
was
denied
by
the
by
both
board
and
then
the
Lee
County
funds
for
limited
producer
impact.
So
this
was
denied.
However,
this
would
be
an
eligible
project
under
the
AG
finance,
and
that
has
been
the
the
the
stance
for
the
the
board.
H
A
lot
of
these
individual
for-profit
projects,
with
with
limited
producer
impact,
have
been
referred
to
the
AG
Finance
program
and
not
through
grants.
I
All
right
next,
on
page
17,
this
was
a
request
from
the
Callaway
County
Cattlemen's
Association
to
the
County
Council,
so
I
attended
this
meeting
and
a
lot
of
discussion
goes
on
in
these
counties
especially
have
limited
funds,
so
Callaway
County
gets
about
30
to
40
000
a
year.
This
this
year
was
31
a
little
over
thirty
one
thousand
dollars,
so
they
historically
rolled
over
one
year's
money
to
a
second
year
where
they
can
run
a
cape
program,
for
you
know
something
less
than
a
hundred
thousand
dollars.
I
So
when
they
get
a
request,
a
lot
of
discussion
goes
on
among
the
County
council
members
about
investing
in
a
in
a
project
versus
the
the
cape
program.
So
at
the
end
of
the
night,
after
much
discussion,
the
the
Callaway
County
Council
elected
not
to
fund
this
request
for
a
portable
shoot
and
encourage
their
Cape
administrator
to
make
application
which,
right
now
their
balance
is
a
hundred
and
fourteen
thousand
dollars.
H
A
A
We've
got
quite
a
few
that
I've
gone
across
the
state
line
and
losing
some
of
those
doctors
that
have
actually
working
from
the
Tennessee
side
rather
than
working
the
Kentucky
side
more
going
more
into
the
small
animal
in
so
like
I
said
anything.
We
can
do
to
encourage
more
of
our
young
people
that
are
involved
that
have
this
interest.
We
want
to
make
sure
we
keep
them
here
and
have
them
lined
up
not
only
small
animal
but
large
animal
as
well
any
additional
questions.
I
A
F
F
I'm
sorry
yeah.
It's
always
pleasure,
testify
in
front
of
this
committee
and
and
update
you
all
on
the
Kentucky
ASAP
program
that
receives
tobacco
settlement
funds.
F
F
Many
many
states
do
not
have
anything
like
this,
and
the
fact
that
we
have
people
at
the
community
level
that
we
can
reach
out
to
and
communicate
with
and
get
feedback
from
on
a
regular
basis
is.
Is
it
valuable
and
I'd
be
remiss
if
I
didn't
mention
Heather,
Wainscott
and
Amy
Andrews
that
work
with
me
that
oversee
the
Lion's
Share
the
work
of
that
program?
F
But
we
are
really
blessed
to
have
Kentucky
ASAP.
F
F
Istically
we'll
lose
six
today
and
that's
just
unacceptable,
so
we
have
to
double
down
and
we
have
to
work
harder.
Majority
of
this
is
caused
by
Fentanyl
and
Fentanyl
analogues.
Well,
over
70
percent
of
the
overdose
deaths
in
this
nation
and
in
this
Commonwealth
are
related
to
Fentanyl
and
Fentanyl
analogues,
precursor
chemicals
that
come
from
China
that
are
bought
by
Mexican
drug
cartels
and
others
create
this
drug
and
the
the
the
thing
that
bothers
me,
the
most
is
they
promote
it
as
legitimate
Pharmaceuticals.
Often
they
disguise
it
to
look
like
a
Percocet
30..
F
They
disguise
it
to
look
like
a
Xanax
bar.
They
disguise
it
to
look
like
an
Adderall
and
a
college
student
who
thinks
he's
taking
an
Adderall
to
study
all
night
overdoses
and
dies
of
a
fentanyl
overdose,
really
drug
poisoning
more
than
it
is
overdose,
and
it's
it's
going
on
far
too
often
and
it's
it's
a
tremendous
problem.
F
House
Bill
353
in
this
last
session,
directs
my
office
and
Behavioral
Health
to
do
a
fentanyl
education
and
awareness
campaign.
We've
contracted
with
a
company
called
shatterproof
to
help.
Do
that,
and
so
hopefully
you'll
be
seeing
that
the
results
of
that
campaign
very
soon
and
mostly
on
social
media.
F
We
were
able
to
go
above
that
and
give
out
another
680
000
in
what
we
call
supplemental
Awards
and
that's
where
our
local
ASAP
boards
write
for
projects
that
they
want
to
do
in
their
Community
and-
and
so
we've
been
doing
that
for
since
2015.,
since
we
got
set
up
a
192
passed
in
2015
and
we've
had
that
extra
money
I
want
to
mention
another
project
that
we're
involved
in
with
with
Kentucky
ASAP
funds
and
that's
a
grant.
F
We
a
matching
grant
that
we
give
to
the
Kentucky
chamber
Foundation
we've
trained
over
5
000,
Kentucky
Business
Leaders
on
being
a
second
chance
employer
to
be
a
recovery
friendly
workplace
right
now,
we're
in
our
third
policy
Academy.
It's
it's
a
fair
chance.
Academy
chamber's
done
a
tremendous
job
of
connecting
with
employers
and
HR
directors
and
making
them
understand,
not
just
just
the
right
thing
to
do,
but
we're
going
to
have
to
do
it
if
Kentucky
is
going
to
fill
its
Workforce
needs.
F
We
can't
leave
people
out
and-
and
so
we've
been
really
really
pleased
with
that
program
and
the
results
we've
gotten
out
of
it-
of
getting
people
linked
with
jobs.
F
Another
project
along
those
same
lines
is
what
partnership
we
have
with
EK
SEPTA
Eastern
Kentucky
concentrated
Employment
Program.
We
have
contracted
with
them
for
the
last
few
years
to
place
somebody
at
all
of
our
Career
Centers
in
Kentucky,
whose
main
focus
is
to
connect
people
in
recovery
in
meaningful
work.
We
call
it
site
the
Strategic
Initiative
for
transformational
employment
when
you
go
through
treatment
and
you're
into
recovery.
If
there's
no
chance
tomorrow
is
going
to
look
any
better
than
today.
F
F
The
other
program
we
fund
is
the
Statewide
call
center.
We
pay
operation
unite
to
run
that,
for
us
it's
833
8ky
help
we
get
about
300
calls
or
so
a
month
into
that
line.
But
more
importantly,
we
do
about
700
calls
out.
So
everybody
that
calls
that
line
gets
another
call
at
seven
days,
30
days
in
six
months,
to
follow
back
up
and
see.
Did
you
get
into
a
program?
Is
there
anything
we
can
do
to
help
you?
F
We've
got
some
great
folks
that
run
that
they're
all
trained
social
workers,
they're
really
good
at
connecting
with
people
they're
really
good
at
explaining
the
bureaucracy
of
substance
abuse
issue
treatment.
That
is
so
many
different
things.
It's
not
all
just
one
thing,
and
they
do
a
great
job
with
that
of
that
screening
and
referral
service
van.
F
We
started
that
project
in
2017
and
it's
really
gone
well
and
finally,
I
want
to
update
you
on
a
recovery
ready
communities
program.
This
bill
was
passed
I
two
sessions
ago,
sponsored
by
representative
bowling,
signed
the
law
by
Governor
Bashir
to
create
recovery,
ready
communities,
we've
seen
storm
ready
communities,
we've
seen
job
ready
communities.
F
This
makes
a
community
take
stock
of
what
they
have
in
treatment,
prevention
and
Recovery
capital.
We
certified
our
first
Community
a
few
weeks
ago.
It
was
Danville
Boyle
County,
our
partner
in
that
project
is
Volunteers
of
America
Mid-States.
They
they
help
us
run
that
program
and
we're
really
excited
we
Perry
County
is
coming
up
very
soon.
Woodford
County
has
been
is
in
the
queue
Northern
Kentucky
has
a
joint
application,
so
that
program
is
moving
along
really
really
well.
F
I
had
the
pleasure
yesterday
to
speak
to
several
hundred
magistrates,
Commissioners
and
judges
at
their
conference
and
really
encouraging
them
as
they
look
how
to
spend
their
opioid
abatement
money
that
they
look
at
this
program
that
helps
them
take
stock
of
what
they
have
and,
more
importantly,
what
they
don't
have
in
their
communities
to
support
recovery.
K
Thank
you
for
being
here
just
had
one
question
now
you
mentioned
earlier
that
there's
a
lot
of
college
students
that,
for
example,
taking
Adderall
to
study
online
I'm.
Sure
that's
true,
but
also
I
would
have
to
say,
though,
that
my
experience
has
been
in
having
just
recently
had
a
friend
lose
his
son
to
fentanyl,
as
it
unfortunately,
I
found
that
the
majority
of
these
cases
involving
are
involving
people
who
have
been
addicted
to
drugs,
starting
out
at
the
bottom,
but
marijuana
up
to
Xanax,
Adderall
and
so
forth.
K
So
what
I'm,
seeing
not
trying
to
dispute
what
you
said,
although
because
I
know
that's
true,
but
I,
think
we
just
don't
want
to
lose
sight.
I
think
I,
think
the
majority
of
these
are
coming
from
people.
Who've
gotten
gotten
got
started
out
at
the
bottom
and
they've
reached
a
point
where
they're
buying
things
thinking
they'll
go
get
a
certain
feeling
from
these
pills
and
they
end
up
having
fentanyl.
Yes,.
F
But
thank
you
for
that
observation.
Senator
Boswell
report
releases
later
today,
the
largest
demographic
is
35
to
44..
The
second
largest
is
45
to
54.,
so
these
are
not
people
that
started
using
yesterday.
These
are
folks
that
have
have
a
history
of
substance,
use
disorder,
Senator.
L
F
You
know
very
few
of
them
have
started
spending
any
money.
Yet
okay
and
that's
good,
because
my
encouragement
is
come
up
with
a
Five-Year
Plan.
You
know
this
is
an
18-year
payout,
so
you
need
a
five
to
ten
year
plan
and
work.
The
plan,
and
most
of
them
are,
are
considering
doing
that.
L
F
Some
of
them
operate
recovery.
Community
centers,
some
of
them
spend
their
money
with
to
support
their
syringe
service
programs
in
their
community.
Some
of
them
spend
their
money
on
prevention,
education
in
the
schools
and
Club
activities.
So
it's
a
wide
variety.
It's
and
then
we
look.
That's
we
love
that
that
each
Community
looks
at
what
they
think
they
need,
rather
than
Frankfurt
give
them
a
larger
list.
Here's
the
things
you
should
do,
I.
L
L
They
do
they
do
their
Community
is
pretty
solid
and
they
they
really
look
out
for
each
other.
You
can
see
that
in
how
they
and
how
they
work.
Are
you
familiar
at
all
with
some
of
the
work
I'll
use
deviate.
Example,
if
you're
familiar
with
DV8
Kitchen
in
Lexington,
I'm.
L
Longtime
friend
of
mine,
we've
worked
together
for
many
years
on
doing
re-entry
and
he
just
started
working
with
the
Department
of
Corrections
on
some
of
those
helping
an
employer
who
maybe
has
housing
or
who
wants
to
do.
Second
choice:
employment,
helping
them
experience.
What
that
might
look
like?
Are
you
familiar
with
my
those
new
seminars.
F
I
would
encourage
any
of
you
if
you
ever
get
a
chance
to
participate
in
one
of
those.
It's
eye-opening
experience
and
I've
been
doing
this
a
long
time.
I.
L
Thought
it
was
really
amazing
and
that's
one
of
the
things
that
I
wish
they
could
do
more
regionally
throughout
the
state,
because
I
think
an
employer
or
a
housing
one
one
to
do
the
right
thing
and
oftentimes
don't
realize
they
see
it
from
their
perspective
and
don't
see
it
from
the
other
perspective
and
having
them
go
through
that
Civilization
really
helps
you
better,
prepare
yourself
to
be
successful
and
really
employ
someone
to
for
them
to
be
successful.
So
they
don't
go
back
into
that
system.
L
F
The
that's
one
of
the
first
activities
of
our
fair
chance,
Academy
that
we
have
employers
go
through,
is
a
re-entry
simulation
and
it's
as
I
say
it's
eye-opening.
D
Representative
Brown,
thank
you,
Mr
chairman
Mr
England.
Thank
you
very
much
for
an
eye-opening,
very
informative
report.
Two
things
I
would
like
to
request
of
you.
One.
Is
that
all
the
notes
that
you
spoke
from
and
information
you
gave
out?
Can
you
send
it
to
us
or
or
to
me
specifically
if
anybody
else
doesn't
want
it?
And,
secondly,
two
of
my
concerns
you
touched
on
and
I
think
is
very
important.
D
Drug
abuse,
well,
three
re-entry
and
employment,
Second
Chance
of
of
people
who
have
have
had
a
mistake,
a
teenage
indiscretion
discrepancy
or
or
or
youthful
problem
that
causes
them
to
have
a
lifetime
of
difficulty
in
getting
their
lives
together.
So
I'd
like
to
get
the
information
and
your
contact
information.
C
Thank
you
for
being
with
us.
I
have
a
couple
of
questions
you
mentioned
at
the
very
beginning.
The
scourge
of
fentanyl,
70
percent
of
our
overdoses
are
you're
finding
to
be
fentanyl
related.
C
C
I
had
another
question:
if
I
may,
on
the
front
end,
you
know,
we've
got
a
lot
of
the
the
treatment
and
and
the
recovery
and
the
employment
issues.
Are
you
seeing
as
our
executive
director
for
drug
control
policy?
Are
you
seeing
a
a
definite
funding
need
on
the
preventive
side
of
things
with
our
drug
task
force
units
across
the
state
right
now,.
F
So
the
Justice
cabinet
receives
what's
called
Edward
Byrne
Justice
assistance
grant.
C
F
It's
a
little
north
of
two
million
dollars
a
year.
We
just
dispersed
Out
Among,
11
drug
task
forces
when
I
started
in
2004.
That
was
eight
or
nine
million
dollars
a
year
and
that
that
pot
has
just
shrunk
and
shrunk
and
shrunk
over
the
years,
and
it's
kind
of
settled
at
a
formula
where
we
get
about
as
Kentucky
gets
about
2
million
or
a
little
more.
F
That's
enough
to
keep
them
operational
and
that's
pretty
much
it
we.
You
know
they
need
equipment
if
they
need
training.
My
office
does
support
an
annual
training
for
narcotic
officers,
but
other
than
that.
There's
just
not
a
lot
of
money
to
do
anybody
else
and.
C
The
reason
I
asked
that
I've
spent
some
time
in
in
in
Hardin
County's
drug
task
force
unit
and
visiting
with
them
and
they're
they're
very
well
run
and
they're
they're
doing
all
they
can
and
I
was
amazed
at
how
much
they're
able
to
accomplish.
But
I
was
also
made
aware
of
of
the
need
and
the
shortage
of
the
technology
funding
for
Other
Drug
Task
Force
across
the
state.
That
I
think
would
we
really
need
to
to
look
into
yeah.
F
Director
art
does
a
wonderful
job
there
in
Elizabethtown
and
they're
very
active
drug
task
force,
but
funds
are
just
a
bit
hard
to
come
by,
for
that
particular
set
of
needs.
J
F
J
Appreciate
you
I
I
would
ask
you
talked
about
the
criteria
for
the
opioid
settlement
money.
Is
there
I
know,
there's
not
a
handbook
or
where?
Where
could
you
get
him?
My
son's
a
mayor
and
I
think
he's
feeling
the
frustration
of
most
of
my
elected
officials
locally
that
got
this
money.
They
want
to
do,
get
the
most
bang
for
their
Buck.
They
don't
want
to
misspend
it,
and
but
yet
there
doesn't
seem
to
be
a
lot
of
guidance
on
how
to
spend
it.
F
Office
of
Attorney
General
has
that
on
their
website,
there's
a
set
of
regulations
that
we
voted
on
and
approved
on
the
commission
early
on,
like
in
July
or
October
I,
think
maybe
our
first
meeting
was
in
July
and
we
were
doing
a
race
by
October,
and
so
it
gives
a
pretty
good
idea
of
what
is.
But
it's
not
a
laundry
list
right.
F
It
doesn't
say
everything
the
community
could
spend
their
money
on
and
I
always
recommend
to
Mayors
and
County
Judge
Executives
talk
to
your
county
attorney
too
make
sure
and
have
him
read
the
over
those
regulations
and
make
sure
you're
safe
there.
And
then
you
can
always
contact
director
Hubbard
with
the
opioid
abatement,
commission
and
his
staff,
and
they
can
give
guidance
as
well.
J
J
Seen
them
I
looked
at
them,
but,
like
you
say
you
know
it's
just
they
just
want
to
do.
What's
right,
my
son's
got
a
law
degree.
So
I
mean
he
can
look
at
and
see,
but
he's
probably
a
little
over
cautious
but
I
I
try
to
tell
him.
You
know
there
is
creative
interpretations
that.
A
J
Can
use
but
as
far
as
re-entry
I
appreciate
those
programs,
I
re-entry
is
something
we've
given
lip
service
to,
and
this
body's
as
long
as
I've
been
here
and
not
really
adequately
funded
or
utilized
a
successful
Regional
models
for
consistency
throughout
I
think
the
agency's
con
Corrections
can
do
more.
But
you
know
I
practice,
criminal
law,
and
sometimes
it's
just
a
lot
easier
for
these
guys
and
gals
to
go
back
into
confinement
than
it
is
to
try
to
create
a
new
life.
J
J
So
I
appreciate
that,
but
I
just
always
have
to
say
we
we've
got
to
quit
talking
about
re-entry
and
getting
people
good
avenues
like
you've
mentioned
in
models
consistent
models
throughout
the
state,
particularly
in
those
areas
that
don't
have
those
resources
in
place
and
you're,
Mason,
Kelly
and
they're
a
little
more
blessed,
you're
familiar
with
Northeast,
Kentucky
and
Mason
county
is
more
blessed
than
than
Lewis
County
and
in
my
district,
but
we
you
know,
we
we
need
the
consistency
and
the
commitment
to
funding
for
these
programs
throughout,
and
that's
just
my
commentary.
B
Thank
you
Mr
chair,
thank
you
for
being
here
again
this
this
year
since
we're
in
a
tobacco
settlement
agreement
committee
meeting
and
talking
about
opioid
abatement
leads
me
to
ask
this
question.
Several
years
ago,
when
it
became
apparent,
Kentucky
was
going
to
receive
a
vast
amount
of
money
to
help
help
with
these
protocols,
I
I've
recommended
several
times
to
several
people
and
several
different
organizations
that
they
look
at
the
tobacco
settlement
agreement
put
into
place
as
a
framework
that
should
be
in
place
into
Infinity
I
guess.
F
So
well,
first
is
the
federal
dollars
that
come
to
Kentucky
right
and
when
we
call
that
core
the
Kentucky
opioid
response
effort,
it's
a
division
of
Behavioral
Health
and
runs
great
many
programs,
wonderful
programs,
all
around
the
state
funds,
a
number
of
things
Dr
marks
who
runs.
That
program
was
my
co-presenter
yesterday,
at
with
the
magistrates
and
Commissioners
to
give
them
an
example
of
some
of
the
things
the
state
is
already
funding.
F
You
open,
Money,
General
Assembly,
set
up
a
commission
to
oversee
the
how
those
funds
are
are
utilized
and
we're
in
the
process
now
and
we'll
be
doing
that.
You
know
I
won't
be
doing
it
for
18
years,
but
somebody
will
over
the
next
18
years
that
framework
will
stay
in
place.
So
we
we
have
the
tobacco
settlement
money
as
well,
it's
not
as
large
as
the
other
pots
of
money,
but
it's
it's
very
specifically
locally
focused
to
let
local
communities,
it's
not
a
state-run
program
where
we're
telling
communities.
B
Follow-Up
please,
but
that
is
the
very
Crux
of
my
question.
Why
was
that
decision
made
to
implement
it
that
way,
instead
of
tobacco
settlement
format,
that
has
been
very
successful,
I
think
there
were
a
lot
of
lessons
that
opioid
commission
could
have
learned
and
should
have
learned
from
how
tobacco
settlement
was
set
up.
If.
F
B
Unless
I'm
missing
something
I
think
we're
missing
out
on
a
board
overseeing
applications
that
would
be
vitally
important
in
different
local
communities
across
the
state
to
implement
those.
Almost
like
our
Cape
program
that
we
were
talking
about
a
moment
ago.
I
know
it's
a
little
bit
different,
but
I
think
there
are
lessons
that
this
commission
could
have
learned
from
this
programming
and.
G
Thank
you.
I
had
the
opportunity
to
attend
Kentucky
legal
cities
in
Owensboro,
where
you
and
Dr
Marx
gave
a
presentation
about
the
spending
and
the
opioid
settlement
money
and
the
core
the
core
program
and
I'm
glad
to
see
that
you
all
are
still
continuing
to
spread
that
education
across
across
the
state,
because
I
went
away
from
that
program.
G
Thinking
about
many
options
that
Jefferson
County
could
be
utilizing
and
I'm
excited
to
hear
about
the
more
anti-stigma
campaign
going
on
across
the
state,
because
I
think
there's
so
many
misconceptions
about
folks
that
use
in
recovery
and
the
more
that
we
can.
You
know,
make
our
fellow
man
seen
as
a
human
and
somebody
worthy
of
a
second
chance.
The
better
so
I'm
excited
to
see
that,
especially
on
social
media.
G
So
I
wanted
to
ask
in
terms
of
our
recovery,
mostly
recovery.
How
and
let
me
go
back
to
my
notes
here.
Real
quick
I
have
a
shift
in
files.
Let
me
get
your
Council.
E
G
A
Van
one
of
the
things
that
I
want
to
come
to
is
for
those
that
are
suffering
from
drug
addiction
and
when
we
look
at
them
re-entering
the
workplace.
I
think
it's
important
for
us
to
remember
and
say
thank
you
to
the
employers,
because
these
individuals
relapse
several
many
times
before
they
get
their
lives
straight.
A
How
many
employers
went
through
and
you
can
understand
an
employer
getting
frustrated
if
you're
hiring
someone
and
you're
losing
them,
but
for
those
that
continue
to
rehire
or
hire
someone
that's
facing
this,
we
need
to
remember
them,
because
it
it
puts
a
strain
on
that
business
and
the
hogo
is
to
do
they're
trying
to
help
their
Community
as
well
as
trying
to
make
a
dollar.
A
F
That's
a
great
Point
I've
been
really
pleasantly
surprised
at
how
many
Kentucky
employers
have
stood
up
the
last
four
or
five
years
and
said
we
want
to
be
a
part
of
the
solution.
We
want
to
help
folks
get
into
recovery,
State
and
Recovery,
and
so
we're
very
grateful.
Our
Kentucky
employers
who
do
that.
A
If
there
are
no
other
questions,
thank
you
for
your
presentation.
We
greatly
appreciate
it
to
our
members.
Our
next
meeting.
We
will
not
meet
in
July,
but
our
next
meeting
will
be
on
Thursday
August,
the
10th
at
10
30.,
and
if
there
is
no
other
businessman,
I
have
a
motion
that
we
adjourn.
We
are
adjourned.
Thank
you.
