I want I want to talk about the Declaration of Independence and where we are celebrating the hundred and fiftieth sign signing that next next year. But I I want to talk about the signer a little bit little bit. In June 1777, this committee was commissioned to draft to draft declaration of independence. This committee, committee, consisted of Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Roger, Roger, Robert, Louis, Winston. The draft draft was made by Jefferson and after verbal alterations by doctor Franklin and mister Adams. It was it was a dependent on the June 28. On the July 1, nine states voted for independence. On the July 4, the 13th United Colonies declared themselves free independent states. John John Hong, the president of congress, was the only one who signed a date. It was a release to the world where only his signature, but on but on second, summit, summit, summit, summit, six, six, all but one of the six signers signers, their pens, parch parchment. Matthew, the loan alone team did not sign until September. Until November. And that's and that's was because he, wasn't elected to the Congress Congress Congress held them. But a little bit of information on John John John Hancock. Sorry. I got a little bit of my page here. A simple 76. His fault signature was only one on the document. The first elected governor of Massachusetts, Hancock, instrumental in getting his state ratified by the new US Constitution in 1788. And I think it's really it's really pristine. I I picked this up, this box box, and I just came back from vacation there. And it's interesting to read about signers signers was was done done down down down.

Is he is he is smiling? He's like that. Like that. He's gay.
Always glad to see you, Ryan. Well, it's good to good to hear to thank you for giving me a few minutes of your your meeting. Your meeting. I'm a cash value cash value. Logan, so it's all good to be. That's why I'm also I'm smiling, especially when he come in when he come in the palace like Cole like so. So Yeah. So so I'm really excited to be here two years ago when we came to the council. It was under part of your circumstances. We issued a report detailing some very serious violations, election law procedures. We did a four to twenty twenty three municipal election. We couldn't find anything that deemed those elections invalid. But we did find procedural issues of issues of crime. So in that in that report, we were pretty blunt. We couldn't have been any more. I think we ended up with thirty one thirty one recommendations there. It honestly it honestly seven days. So so Much much different Now for this election, I spent four days up here at different times at times at the ballot center, visiting with staff through the for the reissue two years ago through each and every item item from that report. And we wanted to we wanted to give ourselves the implementation of that. So we saved that report. I don't know. I'm going through one of those recommendations, but it's in the it's in the record record. I did public public can go through and read that. But I am happy for that they have they have met or exceeded every single recommendation in that report. That gives a lot of credit to Bryce and the Sysberg. And I think Bryce would recognize this business, but more importantly to the staff and those kinds of things. Occur. Occur. You know, there's kind of there's kind of two ways to react react and they react the appropriate way and they really did an, I think, a, like, an honorable job job improving election elections. I think all of us got to have a lot of confidence in the process. Process is not how that's done. So I'd like to read the letter from the governor. The county. In December 23, prior to your taking your taking office, my staff conducted a review of Cash County and commitment to your overall thoughts and responsibility to administer elections in Cache County. During the twenty twenty five twenty five election, members of my staff today's in caching cash during the interview process, their elections, their review process processes, and how the recommendations have been implemented. I am pleased to write that they will verify verify every recommendation made a report and have been implemented. Their findings are detailed and attached to We encourage you to continue to find convenient processes in the spirit of continuous improvement. Based upon our observations, our observations have included suggestions that will support this continued continued process. With this all, the foundation now encourages you to remain diligent and looking for new ways to strengthen cash counter elections and upholding your financials and upholding your financials and upholding your financials and secure. My staff is committed to resources, training, and training so that you can continue your work. Sincerely, sir. Henderson and governor. So it's it's truly it's truly an honor to hear. To hear. To watch that progress. And on top of that, I'm kind of showing you continued improvement mindset. Both Bryson and Michelle and Michelle both certification teaches a series of series classes that are sponsored by the through interstate university and they're still leading that leading that last month. And Kylie, I believe you have one more one more one more class to do. But there there's the mindset mindset that I think Frank Warren Foundation really can really continue on going forward, you know, the changes that you've been made. And I think that I think that mindset mindset shifted to where people think they think they should be able to make the election. So Thank you, Ryan. Does Ryan have any questions you wanna ask Ryan?
No questions. No questions. Thank you. Thank you for being here.
Thank you.
Thank you. Thank
you. Alright. Alright.
Mentioned there is 31 concerns. Concerns that you have. And there could have been a lot more seventy, seventy, 80 possible possible. The lot of the the rest of the rest of those is is
Did they have they have action the 31. They they did. They did. We kind of we kind of we kind of we kind of we kind of we tried to narrow it down. We have that have that part as part of the into into into into into into work, so it's not major ones
and tangent tangentially. So as you I into those things. You have to put in the right sequence sequence and and and exactly exactly, you know, procedure, procedure, all that stuff and and I when I retrieved my retreat to do that, that there's there's two words two words mentioned that I mentioned that stood out to that. Fully, I thought I thought. It says a lot. It says a lot. You know, it really says a lot. It's partially partially We didn't quite get quite that means that it makes it, hey. They weren't gonna they were gonna sell it was there. Was perfect. And I'm I'm actually quite proud. Quite proud. Quite proud of it.
And I think it takes a lot of you to to, you know, you know,
everything that hard on hard.
Thank you. Thank you. K. Anybody else? Anybody else? I just I just wanna make a comment. I, I know I know Bryce and campaign promise to bring back boring. And, you see a lot of people get into public offices, blame their predecessor. I I even I even tempt intent to do that. I may do it. Maybe I'll try to avoid it and avoid it. It's all very simple. But he didn't he was unsuccessful the first time in the training. He ran again. He was successful the next time. And, he's truly a man that didn't do this to do this to spot the spot. In fact, quite the opposite. When administrating things roughly smoothly, often they're often seen and often seen and seen unnoticed. And that's exactly what Brian what Brian was hoping was hoping. So we're so just congrats congrats. Great job. Great job.
Anybody else? Thanks so much, Brian. Thanks for being with us. K. K. Six b, we have We have Elma. Elma.

Any opposed? Any opposed? Okay. Thanks, Andrew. Thanks, Andrew. Okay. Okay. We'll turn some time over to our executives to talk about budget process.
We have been working working each and each department, going I don't make any decision that you will make will make. This this sheet kind of Bear in mind mind, the property tax tax is is historic, historic prime prime under our general general fund. At this point, our sales tax is a little larger than our property across the board or cost them living, living, which which frankly, definitely does research out. In this case, with what we've you're going to have to increase that. We used the year 09/00/9019. In Paris. Point. There there is 26% inflation
inflation in 2019.
Our population increased increase to eleven eleven and a half percent. If you combine nine, though, that that factor increase in about about 40 and a half percent, we would expect to see to see. That would be increased cost off off. That would just be pays. So some increase to back to back. We we the result of our meeting part part of the text, we've been able to to competitively come up from a record of negotiations that would reduce budget budget by by 2,000,000 million $867,904 dollars. Those are both earned all dollars. And those cuts will get us again. 7,600,000.0. But the 2.877 is a good start. Let me just let me just change that. These cuts cuts are are agreement agreement department are led by ads and office. I mean, we have worked together and reduced the standard. In some cases, we're talking about reduction done for force and personnel. We haven't haven't done any further for it. We haven't just penciled those in, but but we will we'll have reduction done for for us by this budget. How many many again determined by the county council? I want I want to hear the part of the department's effort they assets and the mill railroad levy that you place on. That's the best percentage of the value that you pay. People have have the money having time to balance the mill levy, which is different. We don't we don't read the fact that you're paying more income tax tax when your income goes, we don't regard that as as increased income income tax. If you're paying the same percent, you have more income. We don't regard paying more tax. We also also don't take the sales tax tax went up because you bought more goods. The rate rate is the same. But we've cut it up less to the ground. Property taxes in an in an taxation. But if if we raise more revenue because our property is more valuable or because we have new growth that we have we have increased revenue growth. We have to go through a group of taxation here, which is which is is is an odd, odd way to handle handle it. That is the rate rate is the same. And you would still still have to have a tax action But but we're gonna talk about that. Citizens. Let me just mention that. Determine value. He's charged with making value the mill that we use was six six seven eight. Using the same fraction, our mill that we use now is $4.01 y $5.08. That's a that's a 3030% reduction of mill that we use. Years. So while property while Europe Europe, dollars are in and your population increase leasing. You three years years mill levy by 30 to our citizens as we approach the budget budget, cut the budget, cut its fancier, and we're gonna try and try and make revenue keep track of growing growing incidences. So this this is the RDR as of as of this day. Alright? This is the debit. 7,600,000.0. Our proposed cost savings that we we're going to about them.
Your
property property tax increase would give us another another 770,000.00. We have we've gone back to our sales sales forecast and the judge did that. That's a men's and car car. Trying to get mad mad to get to what's gonna happen in sales sales. We've adopted today's state's forecast for sales. That that that we've done that. Yes. Yes. Yeah. So we've taken their sales sales tax. Before Matt, Matt was predicted in more service early. I don't wipe deficit. However, I understand, Dan, chairman Nerman, that you have made a change in our allocation with respect to the property of the sale sales tax. That's what this this is. Million $1.01 $53.03. Right. Difference with that with that. So so we we feel like we feel like we've got there and then we've got one more million do that continually, build a budget budget matter that will support for the whole
world.
So so today today, you said word word got out. I've had seven calls, emails, emails about those cuts. Those are those that are not, I guess, I guess, say item B. Correct? Correct?
Library. Library. The library is redidly black.
It is redidly black. It is redidly black. I won't even mention others and other others or other in here as well. Okay. Okay. Just that just that one. Just one last Seven today. But I appreciate the same sentiment involvement in doing it. That's great. That's great. I do have a couple other points. We talked about inflation inflation. There are some things that are not counted inflation.
I believe health care costs are part of that as well as some of the energy costs. Maybe aim even aim even aim even aim even aim even aim even aim even aim even aim even aim even aim even aim even aim even aim even aim even aim even aim even aim even aim even aim even aim even aim even aim even aim even aim even aim even aim even aim even aim even aim even aim even aim even aim even aim even aim even aim better benefits.
Are affecting affecting cost the cost. These are going to go more than motivation inflation. In today's survey of studying, height, height, height, cost, cost, cost, cost, cost is about 25% in three years. So so our pillar, everybody who drives a vehicle is getting land with the cost. So just make us that aware. Where is your comparison to our inflation place? That's fair. We just use the general, general place. And and and applying a standard figure that to that is crazy. Crazy.
And and so and so Budget budgets are just tools to they're not decisive. I think I think Stronger that that personnel or you talk about cola. Your cost on health care care, we almost double double the cola cola. That that might might be is
And I will say this on the count on the count of five years. Thank you. Thank you for taking the time to dig into this into this. I've not seen us being this nor on the other panel. The other council members. I mean, it's not fun fun. Because this is a decision decision that you get to make your recommendations. We get to see here and make the decision. I don't like that. Like I appreciate the digging digging into this. I believe I believe one of us on the council has asked us and beg for a review and check-in check-in to those. So I
am pleased to see this. I mean it's News that we've got to deal with. Deal with. Deal with. Deal with. Deal with. Deal with. Deal with. Deal with. Deal with. Deal with. Deal with. Deal with. Deal with. Deal with. Deal with. Deal with. Deal with. Deal with. Deal with. Deal with. Deal with. Deal with. Deal with. Deal with. Deal with. Deal with. Deal with. Deal with. Deal with. Deal
County. We appreciate appreciate those. Yeah. I do I do would tell you if this office office sit down sit down in a stress stress situation. Talk with talk with them. We have we have a good legal work for work. And I might and I might say, with respect to the library, we have a the library board is doing a good job in managing resources. That's not the issue with the library. There's no disfunction that way that way. But I have I have to live off the confidence, and I got I got on a foreigner last last weekend by by a group of late late work that worked with my my my my my my my wife who set me
And people have asked me if we can give consideration. Right? And everybody understands that. Not everybody does. Find it. Exceptionally valuable. For children, children, people, people. And we all know learning is part of our society. I just hope as we look at that and we can say okay we do this, this, open, open, hear, hear, hear, other ways you and Luke are citizens citizens benefit. And that's tough. I hope I hope we get the right to the right. Sense. I mean, I mean
But the citizens don't actually have to change their lives. So there's no profit made here by anybody by anybody and turn it into library services. No. No. You you can go to go to to hire a
is going going. Yeah.
And and and why why they have discussions, gosh, we gotta know that we do. We do.
Would you email that doc that doc you have prepared and sent to Andrew, please, and then he and then he make sure we all we all have a copy of this. Electron electronic. That would be That just that was sometime sometime tonight. We've been given a text that says our audio is going really bad really bad. Yes. I don't know what that is about that. I've done that. I've done the campaign again. So so
Two. Two. Out of town town
Would it help if he'll shut with some mic on the mic? I think I think I think we've doubled up a little bit on the mic, haven't we? Yeah. Yeah. So so Mine's mine's up. Mine's mine's up. Okay. Okay.
We'll just have to see. I I I can turn my turn to you exactly because I talk about it. How about how about when you're non talking talking? Okay. Okay. Alright. Alright. K. K. Thank you very much. Very much. Executive executive. Okay.
It's not in the budget.
Georgia, the committee, I'd like I'd like to say thank you. As no one said in the in the five years years that I've been here, we never have access. And it is it is a great great tool Tool. Thank you. Thank you. For all the world you're doing. Thank you to your community. It really helps a lot a lot. Yes. We're getting a lot a lot of feedback back from constituents, but but It really it really helps us to be better better paired paired in the time that comes and comes. And Thank you so much. Appreciate
it. Appreciate it. You're welcome. You're welcome. Sir, draw. I had I had a question question. There were there were some instances I thought were trans transferred to the to to the general general fund. I think we probably ought to ought to look back on some of those of those. Okay. Yeah. That that that was another issue that then pushed us pushed us.
Are you referring to referring to the reallocation work?
Shocker. Is it basically basically that that It's tough to get in half to get in apples. It's kind of Harrison when you made that made that that adjustment.
But I I I appreciate I appreciate all of this innovation together yesterday. Just like, I'm one of those Lay it lay it table, table, and then then and then we really vetted it. We vetted it. We vetted it great so that we can look deeper and deeper and so that we can make decisions because It will be make decisions saying saying, do I wanna pay higher taxes? Or do I want do I want service service? That's the decision that has to be made. So so have have.
Municipal municipal services. Yes.
Okay. Okay. That's that's not exactly visible. Yeah. Creates creates a a situation where people value jumps jump dramatically rather than deathly. And we we need the family check shift to things to things with but that's that's state statewide to allow to a lot of these single things. So so the fact that you don't have have enough commercialization affects that, and then that should actually down about AMAs where we where we have a have a service surplus. Huge. Huge. So to holding her levy Even even. If we do that that, we'll generate a $3,000,000 per year to year in property tax. And you would be paying the same tax rate on your property. We did that. That's and over long periods of time, there could be a adjustment. But over the long term, that should more or less Which
the discussion got lunch lunch was was about about the dog's dog's hats. The dog's dog's hats. The dog's dog's hats. The dog's dog's hats. The dog's dog's hats. The dog's dog's hats. The dog's dog's hats. The dog's dog's hats. The dog's dog's hats. The dog's dog's hats. The dog's dog's hats. The dog's dogs. The dog's dogs
Can I make a concrete comment? First thing. First thing. I just wanna make a couple of comments. Comments. A couple of a couple go for the jug question. At the end. I do appreciate the recognizing the importance of relationship between budget, budget, and revenue. Seems fundamental. I'm glad we're getting back to that. And I think and I think you probably should, you know, bear the burden of the burden of the burden of the security score for making those recommendations. Just like we bear the burden of increasing taxing tax rate. That should be a healthy health contention. I appreciate the dynamic recognition of roles in this situation. The the two questions I have are when when we see a tentative budget budget, and
property that that all the property that come on the line. Add to add in that increase. In addition, this is the property. Right. Right. I think the difference in the middle
Well, the the impact impact of growth is $509,000.
Approximately. Yeah. Approximately.
Thanks. Thanks. I think I think as mister mister alluded to to I think I think having discussion with certain situations about these are the services for the tax. I think those are the discussions we want. Because ultimately ultimately, we want to represent the general public in what they're what they're to pay and pay and they want to get to get. It's a value it's a value exchange. The the more effective we present we present that way that way, I think, the more productive conversations you're gonna
be.
Answer questions about the budget budget, and it'll be an informal setting. It it I'm not sure I would invite council to that because you're gonna be conducting that here and here and later by that. But I want I want to make department parts available what he's doing. I'm gonna try and get our part parts to be here available. We're also also present materials
to them to talk about about property taxes and mill that together. How the world works with the idea of the
idea of the Communication at the time I'm taxation here. To be honest, I've been on those hearings. 50 or six or six cent of the of the submissions, which just are just off the wall. Don't have any idea what we're dealing with or how property tax is. Your figure. Or even even who it is who it is, the charge charge property taxes. I'll bet you that one element of a citizen understands that our budget is only 77¢ of a profit and profits tax bill. Well well, this is our chance to try and get a gas across the first person with the with the with whoever whoever shows up about that day. But everyone Everyone's against us. Know that we'll get an invitation to that
Can you have

Students, but I think she's pricing price. She's a state university in math population relation within our Now we have Jennifer Buse for one year for one year. Jennifer is the director of special education in Cash County, Nashville District. This first council has a pretty council there. We have an individual individual business school as well. So school districts are very well represented in this in this council. In this council. Her focus focus, she's got a bachelor's master's in special education and education. Great advocate for those with for those with disabilities and within our community community. And then Anna Marie Turner Turner for one year. She is an individual minority who has experience experience behavioral health services services.
And she's been
in the past for health and also for safety purposes of the health department. And she's actually engaged in volunteering in the community community. I don't know. I was gonna list a long list of the state she's volunteering in the community community with a focus on advocating for improving mental health access services for those who are in need of it. She's pretty fun. She's pretty fun too. So Questions? Questions on any of those? Or I have a question.
So we're law we're law enforcement guys. We deal with we're standard standard behavior for people to help. Do we have representation for law enforcement law enforcement in that area that area would be because because they're out they're out there dealing with what I see what I see worse by worse. I can help some representation there. Does that make sense? That makes sense? Yeah. So so Box Elder County. We have we have Michael Crane. He's been appointed and appointed. He is the health and health court.
He's a health court probation officer for that area that area with APMT for about five years. And then we just discussed Do we need do we need that within that area area? We broke in that conversation. But we we can we spend so much time already. We have this CJC. We we talk with probation officers probably daily at the health department. Department. Health department. Mental health. Mental health. Health department. Mental health. Mental health. Health. Mental health. We Yeah. We'll we'll we'll we'll quarterly. And our focus will focus on advising, advising, and counseling council on the the area planning plan for carrying out behavioral health and and mental health and substance abuse counseling and services. And so and so initially, we're gonna have to establish bylaws. I haven't been on accounts like four. One of the things on my list on my list to do is see who else is state is doing this and go attend go attend some of those meetings or getting some feedback from back from them. But that'll be the that'll be the main thing to the area plan as we work on it work on it and then come up with recommendations to the cash county cash county council to consider as we work on that plan plan. So it is an advisory council to just to help advise on that. That's why we're trying to have different different. Like, I that's why that's why it's important to support enforcement. Involve them involved because they work as they work with that as much as much as anyone else.
I don't see I don't see her economic development director here here. Renee's Renee's wife's wife. Okay. Is that a is that a pro or con? I don't I don't think I don't think he's a cop is an officer interesting. K. K.
And then these are then these are staggered. We found we found if we found the first year
that we were really lacking areas I out of my question, which we don't have. From county From county county was law
enforcement law enforcement and first responders. So So You know, during this first year years, two years, so that that is missing is missing. Could always could always make those new appointments at those times too. These individuals have
not continued
as well as well. But there there will be there will be room in the next year or two that changes needed as well. Thank you. Thank you.
I'm gonna summon summon when they leave me. Turn on my mic mic for this. This is Cash County's statement statement. We intend to levy a tax rate that exceeds the certified tax rate. Cash County is using an 18% property taxing taxing of $3,000,000 and $21,500 for 2026. The inflationary cost of personnel personnel public safety. And and This this there are very, very, very strict tax commission process process to go through in order to get in order to get the taxation hearing and the first step that had to be done fourteen days before November 4. So so that is our that is our statement statement and then we'll move forward forward with all the other steps that we have to take to get taken to get taxation. So we really so we really don't need to stop that tonight. Right? I just had to read it.
Well, do you know it's being enforced? The Cash Castle District.
They were denied denied denied denied despite voting rights. Because of because of procedures like this. So we're we're having we're having our esteemed Step by step by step. Make sure we do everything for everything, whatever we decide. K. Board of legalization and transportation. Over to Diana. Take care of that next. Take care of that next.
So so you see that that first item is a significant change change have this color coded coded spreadsheet on your iPad. Right? That's right. So if you flip to the last page back that Page eight eight. See that color key? Tells you like these headlight nose changes, cream, cream, cream. If they're if they're if they're that lavender headlight change, there's some loose on that last dismissed or withdrawn or late and denied hearing the hearing because the petition was
to rise to the level of the level
of admitting that late and late. But the bright the bright yellow was with the order of the agenda agenda. I think you're gonna turn to three three and you'll see that it is highlighted highlighted. You can see that there's a one there's a $12,000,000 drop of 47%. Significant adjustment by law by law in 1959, 02/2000 or or is one that drops drops $1,000,000 and 20% original original. So we just have we just have that one this year this year. Think on the agenda. The agenda Yes. Yes. Commercial office space. If you if you would like to speak to that to that real quickly. This adjustment will be for an appraisal appraisal divided by tax payer. County sells comparison Nurses approach. Approach. And they have low market
rents. 30%, 30%, 30%, 30%, 30%, 30%, 30%, 30%, 30%, 30%, 30%, 30%, 30%, 30%, 30, 30%, 30%, 30%, 30%, 30%, 30%, 30%, 30%, 30%, 30%, 30%, 30%, 30%, 30%, 30%, 30%, 30%, 30%, 30%, 30%, 30%, 30%
deferred maintenance maintenance and also full service services that the tenant the tenant highlighted highlighted or bolded bolded those that may be particular interest because they were such a steep drop. So you'll see that but see that has to be in and. So that is why that why that only one qualified special special agenda. So if you want if you want, just a little bit more about that. That's summary summary. We dropped that back to the back to the back there are 339 hills heels. And I'd like to not like states to state public public. A lot of work a lot of work goes into these into these hearings from our council members over over over a month for a month time. They make themselves available in two to twice a week or if the appraisal team is ready to take the case's case to hearing. So I'd really like to thank you for that within that month. We had service ranging from four to four to four hours for our council members, you know, you know, outside of all committee assignments and and no extra no extra pay besides besides to spend to spend time with time with staff staff. Priceless. Priceless. So I will say, I will say, you're cutting yourself
short. The county has
amazing hair. Yes, I am. I am. He guides us. He guides us. He guides us. He'll know. He'll be very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very,
very a very thank you. Thank you for your expertise
and your guide. Want that want that want that right. Right. Thank you. My thank you. To the council. To the council. Like I said, we're really, really appreciative of that time that time they put in for the taxpayers. And,
you know, you know Yeah. But we could do. We could do another job in there to help. Well, somebody's got
his
mortgage. Multiple people. All people.
Yeah. Yeah. That's that's what I meant. That's what I meant. Service. Service. Just follow 309% of those were given an adjustment. I thought it would be an exchange metric metric for you to know that 45% of those adjusted residential, residential, 23% to land land, 22% commercial commercial, 8% to ag. I think that's all that's all the category I have and I have unless you have some big questions forming on these. Recommendations that you have all made for the full the full Ward 2 Ward 2. Ratify Ratify fifty fifth. Janet, are are we the first of just just on this one? I think that's made and maybe we should Just the one Is it one I think we should go into board. Organization.
We ought to do that. We ought to do that. Let's do that and then and then we separately stepped on these just on the significant change change is is what I understand my understanding. Okay. Okay. Someone wanna make that motion. I'll second second it. It's been moved in second and seconded the board of depolarization. Say aye. Say aye. Aye. K. Does someone make a motion to accept this one one adjustment adjustment that the significant adjustment that has just been presented been presented.
I'll make a motion to fully approve your a certificate in adjustment of justice, which is greater than greater than 1,000,000 greater than 20%.
I'll second up. K. So we can second and second the approve and approve this adjustment of justice. Just presented. Any opposed? K. I'm gonna sign this right this minute. And then do we move on move on to to
Now now I'm now I'm I would I would be we accept accept all of the all of the recommendations, the court of the court of the court of the court of the court of the court of the court of the court of the court of the court of the court of the court of the court of the court of the court of the court of the court of the court of the court of the court of the court of the court of the court of the court of the court of I would go ahead and go ahead and we accept we accept those. I'll second up.
K. It's been moved in second. Is that we approve all the decision decisions that have been made in May 2025 for revitalization andization. Those in favor say aye. Can you
I just I just Maybe for the public's sake, this was my first one. So I think, it'd be be it would be helpful for me to know how these decisions are made. So for example, for one of the properties we looked at, we found that part of the area was on the wheels, like a wet, like a wetland. So it was being assessed as the potential value of value of what it could be. Of the highest highest invested trades. Right? Yeah. But but in reviewing that, we found that we found that it was as valuable as it was initially assessed. That's No no slight on our own. Assessors. I've got a lot of work to do. A lot of property. Some of the stuff is up here. Satellite. These require more scrutiny. And we appreciate the coming in, in, giving us, giving us information. We want it to be fair to all parties. To all parties. It's not a burden. It's not a burden. I hope they feel like they feel like they approach an elected official to plead their case. We will hear it. So they are so they are taxpaying tax sparingly. So I just I just thought I would communicate that just people people maybe can maybe understand the process. I I did. I for the record, I record I did not enjoy it. I enjoyed it. I I said it was educational. That's true. That's true.
So so that's yeah. That's yeah. That's Okay. So then you have your signature page now that you've had your vote your vote. Yes. So Yes. So under your tags, your tags, labeled ball ball. Three different different ones. They're they're Let's start with the one that comes with a recommendation for approval. Ends in 0001. A Logan resident. He's he was approved in twenty four four. White White Low. Low. He is is 8,200 for twenty four four. He's eligible. He is eligible. He is eligible at percent the maximum maximum we can we can
grant by and by law. I I looked at that and that. Everything. Everything. I don't I think I've I've seen I've seen this before. Yeah. Yeah. And so and so I think that there there it's been vetted and vetted, and I would when I would go ahead and go ahead and approve 0001 that ends in the 000101 with 88 with a 50% abatement.
I'll second I'll second the
Is the one that's not gonna work? Okay. Okay.
Yeah. And moving on to the second two, which which both of these the one They're both they're both from Hiram. From Hiram. And and a 00044. The second and second is 0099. Consider them together. They both are coming together. They both are coming together. They both are coming together. They both are coming together. They both are coming together. They both are coming together. Denial denial. Denial denial. Both for for the same the same reason. They were not complying in providing providing their financial information. As you as well know, these programs are based on income eligibility. And if we can't receive the documentation in term that. If we can't receive their documentation, then it would be would be unequitable I would
just I'd just like to make a comment. My heart goes out to these people, but
but as
As Diane Diane said, we need to hold them to the You know, the same same as what is what's wired by others. And I'm I'm, you know, I you know, I I feel bad for them. They they need to understand. I I don't know. Someone's been trying to help them. What what apparently Something is a miss in all of it. So so I'm sorry, but I'm sorry, but we need to hold them to the to the what is being required of the other
In the in the Tax commissions standards standards states states that the burden of burden of all of these tax relief programs is on the applicant. It's not on us to amend the rules because because well well If the one gas she had an extra 19,000 plus in in deposits deposits, which which we, you know, would have to count to count if they can't show the size of the virus.
Which brought the number of the miraculous taxes, the exact number you needed. Did
you notice that? Well, well It's interest interesting. It's interest interesting. You know, I I would I would But I but I think that I thought there was a lot to be had had. They would've they would've In in in this in this instance instance, she did not she did not fight all the right statements, the tax return, October, and then didn't claim the 99,000 that they did have on partial partial
Right. Bank statements. I would move I would move that we we have a decision to tax administration on zero zero zero zero zero nine nine. And we we deny the deny the applicants because they because they non Have a good evening. Good evening.
And
so
We have to we have community unity. Alright. Alright. Public hearing here. So that's also that's a two way to study that. Right? And we would like to encourage the public to have them come in meetings meetings. Ideas for these communities to develop grants
I'll make a motion to motion
Madam chair, I'd I'd set we'd set hearing from over twenty eight twenty eight, 05:30 PMPA for 2025 dash 30 dash 30 dash 30 dash 30 dash 30 dash 30 dash 30 dash 30 dash 30 dash 30 dash 30 dash 30 dash 30 dash 35. Solar solar amendment. Ordinance 2025 dash 37 adjustments just compensation. Appointed appointed deputy officials. The ordinance twenty twenty five dash 38 on the eight on the schedule schedule schedule schedule schedule schedule
schedule adjustment adjustments. I'll second second that. Okay. Okay. The second is set. We set before meeting hearings of hearings of hearings of '20 eight '28 in favor of the Okay. It. It's been moved in second and second. Hey. Hey. 11:11 a. We need Amy. Amy.
Good evening, council. I come to you with a proposal from our compensation committee to amend to amend county procurement policy, jurisdiction, sign b to include in our lease hours of absence. Number six, parental parental leave. We have an approach by many of our many of our employees and and we listened to as a compensation commission committee and policy policy for for parental parental leave. At this time, the Cash County does not provide any for the birth for the birth of a child or a doctor or a doctor or a child or any children in their place in foster care. And so this would allow this would allow employees that have that have any significant significant significant in their lives to to to to weeks of of Paid time off. Paid time off. Be able to be able to bond with our family with this with this wonderful experience that we have in the family. And so the the the policy is outlined for you. I hope you've had a chance had a chance to read through it. It's a little bit lengthy because we because we cover a lot of ground with that. But I'm happy I'm happy to get any questions that you may have.
So they need to make take that all at once.
They can take it within within the first year of the birth or place of the child child, and they can take it take it I I believe it does leave it does take it and take it all at once. The two weeks that she gets
together. And FMLA
federal federal level is eleven or twelve weeks, but it doesn't guarantee doesn't guarantee pay. Right. It doesn't guarantee pay. And so this would run would run for FMLA. So it's not it's not exactly FMLA. Time time. With FMLA, they leave their personal time, but if they don't have any first time, it would be I would be unpaid. So what we're running in running is generally those that are having their habits are those that are newer in their corners, and they haven't had a chance to accumulate family for that first time. And so they're they're either financially able to table time off or don't have that personal leave time. Able to table to take time. So this is supporting us.
When when is this something that they're doing from competitive with salary salary and other benefits?
Part of that. Part of that. Yes. Yes. But I I was a by a group of of employees from the sheriff and also from this campus that were interested in in hearing that other employers bring up and then being those those young children themselves as well as working for some support from the county as they brother families.
And Amy, as we as we discussed in this about how many year are you looking
at this
So Thanks for bringing that up, Margaret. When we when we have the compensation condition about this, we had been through about the first six months of the year and and twelve twelve employees had
to the insurance.
Now there could be there could be a few there that maybe their spouse has the insurance insurance. So we're seeing that newborn being needed for that that child at all. So so it could be a few more but but we're we're probably looking at about twenty five or thirty years throughout the year.
So are there are there because obviously obviously, it's gonna continue their pay or it's already it's already in budget. This is extra extra expense expenses. Right.
Right.
Yeah. We always that in that competition commission. Barbara, do you have any company comments on that about that? No. No. Hell Hell hell no. Yeah. So so it wouldn't extend is is budget already for you, but there may be a chance that people need to cover some coverage like what you were saying. And so so, you know, that could be a little bit of expense. However, people that are willing to do that when people are going to help fill in.
Can there be any For instance, I have an incident where a mother delivered baby and baby passed away husband had us to have the grand grand grand grand grand grand grand grand grand
grand grand Yes. Yes. So we would take we would take consideration into any special circumstance. If the grand grand where there's stuff that we're stepping in If the
grandparents were stepping in as the parents. The parents. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Okay.
Right. I don't see anything for for miscarries. That's
covered as a different a different a different policy because we do allow for that for them. And it's in our it's in our birth policy.
Thanks. Thanks.
This is just a consideration of this year, so we're not we needed it. Yeah. Yeah.
I see no reason. No reason to continue it. I will I will suspend the rules. The rules. Recommend. Resolution.
Nine. Suspend the rules and approve the approval of the legal policy. Those in favor, say aye. Say aye. Any opposed? Any opposed?
K. K. I hope that makes sense.
No offense. I think that's that's the disagreement.
Is that if not if if if I don't understand. You're saying that?
Okay.
Okay. Twelve a. Angie. Angie. He's not here. He's not here. He's not here. Andrew, do you wanna handle this? Explain explain what this is. Let's just do this, please. Yes. Yes. So ordinance twenty twenty five dash one dash 28 is important.
By the county council council last meeting.
The reason the reason why
it is back on the agenda despite being passed is after some after some review were there were some significant pieces of information that were uncovered after after cash and cash's office and getting getting opinion from the cash and attorney attorney. It was it was essentially determined that this wasn't this wasn't an complete complete It's our it's our final form form. So so until until some additional additional information can be can be provided and verified. That that ordinance would not be ready to be passed in final final form. So so that being said that being said, my recommendation is is to leave the pending action until that final final information can be provided. You still have me still have the actual actual physical description description? I I not a verified version of version of version of what I understand the the overlay description from the survey from the app, but I don't I don't know fact. So don't know that one. But but that still needs to go to those services and be verified for it for it over. So I think they'll take they'll take
they said yes. It's a physical description that we've given given, including 16 acres. So we have we have to verify verify just that just that result. So so then should I just shut this back back to consoling I don't think so because they because they it was all intended to be just the portion. It was just the just the legal the legal description was not not written exactly exactly. But they did but they didn't have a deal. So
Taylor. Taylor. What's your thoughts? I thought
Yeah. The $25.25 $25.30
is what it what it was. I don't know. We we we back up back up and then we do all we do. I can't see why why we have here together to find them and zoning
k. What do you think? What do you think? Nolan Nolan.
My personal my personal opinion is go back to P and Z person. Because I sent them because I sent them for P and Z server. So
And I I I I have the hat descriptions. I thought it came in just before the meeting. Before the meeting. It actually came
the day the day for the meeting. The day after the meeting is is but it's still not correct. It's still not correct. But you have this still not correct. Office had two different two different maps, and then we projected on maps on maps.
It it wasn't even it wasn't even in the coal parts. Okay. Okay. I I I I I this sounds like this is not this is not this is not this is not this is not this is not this is not this is not this is not this is not this is not this is not this is not this is not this is not this is not this is not this is not this is not this is not this is not this is not this is not this is not this is not this is not this is not this is not this is not this is not this is not this is not this is not this is not this is this is not this is
And then because I know the after I know the after we can move forward to get this self put up.
I know one of the one of the things that the Paradise Paradise leadership leadership in their letter was letter preferred on top of the building. That's available. That's available. If this if this puts it puts it much closer to building that, it would change something. Per per month per month. So I I don't know that I don't know that it will. My other point my other point is that it's tall enough. Good on the fairways.
Yeah. Yeah. Lucky's for lucky's
We're a stealth we're a stealth we're a stealth we're a stealth we're a stealth we're a
we'll we'll get this cleared up cleared up. K. K.
12 b. 12 b. Oh, I gotta leave. I gotta leave.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
Let's try. Let's try. Yeah. Yeah. K. K.
Okay. Let's see. Let's see if we can the door.
Okay. Okay. This is an ordinance to amend the compensation county council members members. We were given a recommendation by the by the compensation committee. Committee. Catherine made an amended amended proposal proposal proposal last the last the last meeting that was there was no second second. That motion died. So it died. So I don't know where where you start on this on this. I would I would entertain a motion or some discussion discussion. Numbers numbers, time change, time change was last time last time. Yeah. So we should review review what those are.
Okay. Can can we can we we'd have to pass this all in the class classes with the chair and chair is separate from the council members on pay.
I think In the proposal in the proposal, the chair is a different Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We have to pass it. Oh, I see what you're saying.
With with the with the
Cool. Cool. K. K. So the the numbers that we have tonight tonight, council members being number 36,000. Council chair 44, 20% more. The original original information from the compensation was I believe, $4,045,000. For for accounts and for account systems. This was the amount that Catherine Catherine's last time. Last time. That's just a place to begin the conversation. Conversation. Wants to get their get their recommendation. Make a motion. Make a motion. I would like to stick right in the mud and say say
chair. Chair. Chair is is to
I'll put it right up. I'm not ready to I'm not ready to I'm not ready to I'm not ready to I'm not ready to I'm not ready to I'm not ready to
I I Looking to split that. That point. My feelings. My feelings. Is that the amount that you that you're rec you're recommending? Uh-huh. Is that the one that was asking? Mhmm. Mhmm. Because that's down that's down that down 1212 from before before. I don't remember. I don't remember. Prior number. Right. 884545
is It was recommended was recommended by the council chair to 54,000. So it is $12,000 from what was recommended to reminimented from the compensation committee. K. So if I just point out
Dave is Dave. Jamie has been chair. Barbara has been chair. You guys tell us what he is. I believe it is amazing, amazing amount of time. And that's why and that's why I'm trying to set it as separate. If you'll indulge, indulge me.
Can I I have I have Some comments? Comments? I have I handed out this council members assignments and county You know, we look at the first of the year and say, okay, okay, I'll do that. Mark, will you do this? And we look at that and that that I never look at it again until the first of the year next year and decide decide going to do this. And I want want everyone to take a look at exactly what everyone is doing for this for this kill. And I think I think that we need to realize that, yes, we are putting in a lot of time doing things that I know some of us takes away from our jobs and we end up end up, you know, doing things that doesn't doesn't mean that we don't don't enjoy serving our community. We do. If we didn't we didn't enjoy it, we would be here. Right? Right? We wouldn't we wouldn't we wouldn't fill a responsibility to our county our county constituents. But I think it's also to let the public know that it's just not two meetings a month a month that we're coming to. We have responsibilities Because because on our on our the best of what we want of what we want for our constituents and what How we want to serve. To serve. I I think we have a value. And and, our value is is based on how we're serving on these different boards. And what we're doing to our constituents. And how we're helping our different departments. And and letting them know that council that we are helping them as much as we can. We enjoy that that we have now have a significant step in to those department parts and thank you so much. But we also we also want, you know, you know, we want the department heads to know that we as a council listen to them to to them also. So I do think we have a value. And and I'm gonna say something He's not. The count the sheriff the sheriff is not. Here. He's on the he's on the compensation committee. And he did say did say If I hear anybody say you're not what you're getting, I'm not gonna be happy about it because he knows what kind of service we're giving to our community and what we're doing. Now I'm okay with the recognition of the original agenda. I'm okay with that. And if we need to discuss you know, different different than we presented tonight, I might came with that too. But I think we need to give ourselves some credit. For what we're doing here and realizing Yeah. We do we do Boy, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair I am not I am not reelect reelection next time. And and I'm not In favor of favor of this because this is gonna make me richer richer whatever whatever. I'm not doing that doing that. But I do think that we need to make it. And I don't want to say The word I don't I can't think of the word. But I think that when people replace me replace me they need to know that there is there is more stability and that there is there is the cost to our time and what we're putting in. Putting in. That's my comment my
comment. I'll say this I'll say this one thing that's out there that they're running out running on. I'm sad. All the other. All the other. I think.
My name's your name is Jim. I wouldn't say say Not always. On the average average of 22 It's just that's just it really is. It really is. But as a as a group, we are paying less than any other like this like state state. And we're and we're one of the low in the minds that I know that benefits.

So if that is that your decision your decision, personally, personally, take not the pay amount of the rates that may be passed. And do that and do that and then we formulate that out. So I just wanted to drill it out there that that that you're doing your decision.
Could could you explain more and more how that works? How it works? This is surplus. Surplus. It's retained and retained in the general
Okay. So so but given that given that still spend
save any save any money. See what I mean? You know what I mean? It would be spent it would be spent in other ways.

I believe his belief is that if you get directed to cash foundation first first first regs income, FICA would FICA would be withheld. And then whatever whatever portion you want to do to that churn or transaction
would be would be, but it would still be taxable
tax less than taxing tax. So I didn't really say really say anybody anything. No.
If if you were going to going to not wanna take not wanna take Right. Right. From 70 out of left out salary salary That's what I would that's what I would do if I were you that's what you want to accomplish accomplish and leave it at that. Leave I think it would from a personal personal tactic. Say that again. Say that again. If you wanted to act out of your salary and just not just pay, pay, you can make that choice. But still still
budget budget salary appropriate appropriated towards the general the general fund. Yes.

I do have the compensation. I don't know that I want that I want to create a dispute between the chair, the chair, the councilor councilor. So Not that I not that I think don't think that the the chair is the chairs are being on that. But I just While we're still while we're still in public, I just wanted to mention that that as we consider next time for next time. As far as my report goes, I'm on the airport board. There were three different developments presented that involved building additional hangers, possibly, possibly, runningways, in certain areas. And these were by three different developers who are non competing. So they all fit very well. I think there's a concern there for the boards that wants the properties back in the back of the county, the county, or the or the sorry, the Logan Cashier and Cashier Airport may not have resources. Slightly behind on our maintenance. And so it's not that we don't But there's just something we need to get in order that the prior to prior to the purples. But I think everyone should know about that. And then COSAC COSAC, some pre application were presented and recorded and merged forward to move forward. Full application. So we should see more of those in the coming months. Coming months. And then they also normally they only once a month once a month. But they schedule the scheduled meeting for for this month, this Monday, the twentieth to review the review that materials. Probably been a probably been a couple of months, but we talked about talked about how they want to send a postcard postcard to those properties, property, the county that the open spaces requirements require make sure they're sure they're aware of that. And and the council accounts expressed an openness to Al to Al to Al to Al to Al to Al to Al to Al to Al to Al to Al to Al to Al to Al to Al to Al to Al to Al to Al to that. So They're gonna find they're gonna find next week next week. We should hear from them hear from them in a council meeting in November. And I'll get with I'll get with you chair lender to get that on get that on the agenda.
To Keegan, to point point, like, disparity is fair enough. If you know the disparity is time, time, warrant up warrant distance, I believe I believe. That's why I suppose that oppose that. So just those more information. My point my point was is is we held we held September 24. Water meeting, water meeting, division meeting. I am shooting for now or now, what, thirtieth, thirtieth. And I hope we can get everybody there. That is when I get Snyder here Snyder has a voice legislation and the water water department department. That's why that's why I'm trying so hard so hard so they're that that happened with Casey, Casey, Chris, Chris, mister Peterson, Peterson. So that's why that's why we're trying thirtieth thirtieth. I will be signing up emails emails. Speak on that. I'm so pleased. Please. Keep that in mind. More of us here. Discuss, discuss, important, important, important facts, facts, and have recently been to the community, community, and Utah, and water, and recommend mad, last use for yard, everything else. These are things we should be considering considering. Water is going down, going down, going down, going down, going down, going down, going down. It's a man that's going up. So that's why I think it's so, so, very, very important. And so that's why I'm showing towards October 30. Do you know what do you know what time? 6PM. 6PM. Okay.

Let's let's see. So so the only thing we touched on is the library library for last week. Last week. I was not I was not in that time. I was back my way back in Utah summit, Which is the first time I first time I've been in the house. It was really good really good, but it wasn't. I went I went unofficially
on behalf of the county of the county of the county of the county of the county of the county of the county of the county of the county of some things, but things
did not send me. So, yeah, the yeah. The library board discuss the some of the things I'm talking about. We've talked about before and the possibility of the North location location. But given certain certain things out there, there's lots of questions lots of questions. So so That discussion tonight might shift might shift the feedback I got. We'll see. We'll see. I mean, I'll I'll I'll I'll I'll I'll I'll I'll I'll I'll I'll I'll I'll I'll I'll I'll I'll I'll I'll I'll I'll I'll I'll I'll I'll I'll I'll I'll I'll I overhead increase would be one person person person or or part of the week. The interested city that we talked to would offer the facility the same the same the city has. And so it's really really I mean, it's shaping up shaping up negotiating really good expansion opportunity to make it make it so that we didn't we didn't run into the scenario where only the south and south end of the area were, you know, just the just the adjacent adjacent We're utilizing the library. But there's also there's also lots of new Lots of new activities last year from around the county. So there will Most likely Most likely that data that gets discussed in in the week to come to come. Now the other thing the other thing I mentioned mentioned is I have not yet contacted Sandy or Catherine to talk about this, but we serve on serve on the as the appointee from UWAC for the outdoor recreation committee committee, the north regions region and board meeting for you. We're gonna be working for proposals for the year. And so I'll get I'll get with the leadership leadership council to come up with how we'd like how we'd like people about getting that feedback feedback ideas we'd propose or or concepts concepts to like to to at least set forth a from a regional regional perspective. This committee this committee's ideas ideas outdoor recreation you know, cross county boundaries and the and the We'll call them the brand, the brand, the brand, the perspective. Big picture. Big picture things. So I have some ideas some ideas on that on that. Council leadership leadership. And
