We'll go into our departmental reports. First one is animal control. 00:01:37.760 --> 00:01:58.439 I'm sorry, I hope a comment. No, that's fine. I'm sorry. No, you're good. Okay. Um, in March, we took seven cats in three were surrenders. Three were city streets. One was returned. It was adopted previous month. 00:01:58.439 --> 00:02:12.439 Five were transferred to rescues, or sorry, three were transferred to rescues, four are still adoptable. Our dog intake was nine dogs, two surrendered, seven county strays. 00:02:12.439 --> 00:02:18.439 Five of those dogs are adoptable, two were reclaimed, and two went to rescue. 00:02:18.439 --> 00:02:24.439 Our current animal inventory is 14 adoptable cats. 00:02:24.439 --> 00:02:33.800 Two are on hold. Dogs, we have 21 adaptable, one foster and three on hold. Two of those are 00:02:34.680 --> 00:02:44.439 Jessica Jones' court date dogs. Today we went to court. She is claiming that the Great Dane, 00:02:44.439 --> 00:02:51.879 the one that we were mainly charging her, was not her dog. There is no way we can prove it was her 00:02:51.879 --> 00:03:01.960 Dog. So I asked if we could just have her at least sign the Chihuahua over. And since 00:03:01.960 --> 00:03:09.879 she's not claiming the Great Dane, then we've had it for July of 24. Nobody's 00:03:09.879 --> 00:03:14.879 reclaimed the dog. So he's ours then if she's claiming it's not hers. So she did 00:03:14.879 --> 00:03:20.359 sign the Chihuahua over. So both dogs are ours now to go ahead adopt them out 00:03:20.360 --> 00:03:23.840 Luterum, Rescue, whatever we feel fit. 00:03:23.840 --> 00:03:26.240 It's not the outcome I would have liked, 00:03:26.240 --> 00:03:29.480 but these dogs have been with us long enough. 00:03:29.480 --> 00:03:32.560 We're not going to prolong it any longer. 00:03:32.560 --> 00:03:36.120 Andrew, crisis cases were also today. 00:03:36.120 --> 00:03:40.100 He did get a continuance on them. 00:03:40.100 --> 00:03:41.720 I don't know the date of that. 00:03:41.720 --> 00:03:46.520 I believe it was June for another bench trial. 00:03:46.520 --> 00:03:51.520 Mary Mankey, which is the Cocker case. 00:03:52.500 --> 00:03:55.060 She somehow did not do something. 00:03:55.060 --> 00:03:58.939 I believe it might been the mental health part of the case. 00:03:58.939 --> 00:04:01.379 So that's back in court 512. 00:04:02.340 --> 00:04:05.180 She's been paying and I don't think she has more than two dogs. 00:04:05.180 --> 00:04:07.740 So that's the only thing I can think of that was part of 00:04:07.740 --> 00:04:10.780 that her order was the mental health. 00:04:10.780 --> 00:04:28.379 Other things, unfortunately, I was in an accident with a work van, we're still waiting on insurance. However, Bakker Auto Group donated a 2007 uplander van with 94,000 miles on it. 00:04:29.379 --> 00:04:40.379 It was originally owned by an older couple, very well maintained, I think we'll have many, many years on it. I've driven it about a week now, I think it's been licensed. 00:04:40.780 --> 00:04:54.780 It's running good, perfect. It's basically the same as the old van, a little longer front end, I gotta get used to, but no, it's running really good. I'm very thankful for Delbert and his group for doing that. 00:04:54.780 --> 00:05:07.780 Otherwise, in the front of your pack, this check came in yesterday, I had Stephanie look into it because of the amount. 00:05:07.780 --> 00:05:14.580 and it's a legit tracking number and so that went in the bank yesterday we're 00:05:14.580 --> 00:05:22.420 gonna give it a 30-day grace to make sure it's legit. Where's it from? I don't 00:05:22.420 --> 00:05:28.180 think you've got, I don't know if I sent you a copy of it or not. Yeah so we did 00:05:28.180 --> 00:05:33.340 some research there is an 80 year old woman with that name in Pecatonica and I 00:05:33.340 --> 00:05:36.580 and I think that's probably where it came from. 00:05:36.580 --> 00:05:40.260 I'm going to send her a letter to thank her. 00:05:40.260 --> 00:05:42.260 Hopefully it's, I mean, if it's not her, 00:05:42.260 --> 00:05:45.220 she'll obviously say it's not her, 00:05:45.220 --> 00:05:48.020 but just because there's no way else to thank her. 00:05:48.020 --> 00:05:49.740 And I'd like to thank her for that donation. 00:05:49.740 --> 00:05:52.740 That was very generous and will help a lot. 00:05:56.060 --> 00:05:58.100 14,890. 00:05:58.100 --> 00:06:04.100 So a whole bunch of things are going to get neat. 00:06:04.100 --> 00:06:08.100 Yes, I'm like, let's see, and she could have a whole room. 00:06:08.100 --> 00:06:14.100 I'm thinking a bench outside. 00:06:14.100 --> 00:06:19.100 If I figure out it's her, yes, I'm going to ask her what she would like. 00:06:19.100 --> 00:06:27.100 Yeah, seriously. Yeah, because I like maybe the isolation room could have a nice whatever she wants to dedicate it to one of her past animals. 00:06:57.100 --> 00:07:14.820 234,000. Yeah, we're not. We haven't got any official word, but. I don't think the adjustment went out to it, but it's rest in pieces. I thought maybe, you know, you just scraped something. No, no. 00:07:14.820 --> 00:07:22.260 Tickets issued? What? Tickets issued? Yes, I got a ticket. So what was it that you were ticketed for? 00:07:22.259 --> 00:07:37.259 Failure to reduce speed or avoid an accident, something like that. 00:07:37.259 --> 00:07:46.259 It was my fault. I had a coughing fit and by the time I realized they were stopped ahead of me, there was not enough time to stop. 00:07:46.259 --> 00:08:07.379 I tried. I floored the brakes. I meant there was no time. I was crushed. I got out of the van, hobbled to the lady, and she was fine, but no, no. I had airbag related. I went to urgent care. 00:08:07.379 --> 00:08:36.379 Jordan told me to go there just, you know, close to expo. Yeah. And I, you know, learn from the airbags, but otherwise sore, obviously. But and I called the lady that was in the accident with me and she was fine. And I called her like, think two days later and she was doing fine. And so unfortunately, trust me, that's the last thing I want to happen. I'm sure I've my record was beautiful. 00:08:37.379 --> 00:08:48.379 Anyways, yeah, so, I mean, we got a van, got it licensed, went to Mary's and got it licensed and it's insured and everything's good on it. 00:08:48.379 --> 00:08:56.379 Tires looked good. This is a question, I guess. Okay, we pulled the seats out. 00:08:56.379 --> 00:09:04.379 Can we dispose of the seats or do we need to keep the seats? We're never going to use the seats. So what we did right now is we put the seats in the old van. 00:09:04.379 --> 00:09:12.179 Plans. Because that's going to get totaled and taken away. So why not? But I didn't know. 00:09:12.179 --> 00:09:22.939 It was donated. Don't ask, don't tell. Okay. Who's going to ever use them? It's your new 00:09:22.940 --> 00:09:52.940 Benji. Yeah, thank you. We're in trailer. No, that's all right. I was thinking somebody had mentioned one of the bars, bobbers uses old seats. I'm like, I think we just go away. Anyways, um, the weekly intakes. Um, like I said, the pickups, we really haven't been getting 00:09:52.940 --> 00:09:59.940 I've been picking up dogs, they just haven't been getting re-blamed, unfortunately. He's had a lot of dumped dogs. 00:09:59.940 --> 00:10:09.460 He's had a lot of dogs. I think the one day, end of the month, I picked up three dogs one day. 00:10:11.300 --> 00:10:18.260 One cat for bite order and nobody's coming to get these dogs. They're just, I don't know, 00:10:19.540 --> 00:10:24.420 springtime we usually pick up on pickups, but they also get picked up by their owner. So I don't, 00:10:25.220 --> 00:10:29.220 people are just in a rough spot that they just can't afford them anymore. 00:10:29.940 --> 00:10:35.940 So you've got about 35 animals right now, 14 cats, 21 dogs? 00:10:35.940 --> 00:10:39.940 Yeah, as of this report, it's gone down. 00:10:39.940 --> 00:10:46.940 So what capacity do you have? I mean, at what point do you no longer take animals? 00:10:46.940 --> 00:10:51.940 We're no longer taking dogs right now, other than our county strays. 00:10:51.940 --> 00:10:54.940 So what's your total capacity right now? 00:10:54.940 --> 00:10:59.940 We're at it right now with the, I would say 25 dogs. 00:11:02.140 --> 00:11:02.980 Yeah. 00:11:04.220 --> 00:11:08.700 25 dogs, 14 cats, 15 cats. 00:11:08.700 --> 00:11:12.860 We could do more cats, but 25 dogs is the highest we can go. 00:11:12.860 --> 00:11:14.360 So how many cats did you take? 00:11:14.360 --> 00:11:16.780 If you can not take more than 25 dogs, 00:11:16.780 --> 00:11:18.220 how many cats do you think? 00:11:21.420 --> 00:11:22.660 Probably about the same. 00:11:22.660 --> 00:11:26.660 So 50 animals, give or take? Yeah, probably. 00:11:26.660 --> 00:11:29.660 Thank you. 00:11:29.660 --> 00:11:37.660 But on the cats we have, we have, I think, 00:11:37.660 --> 00:11:40.660 there's actually not even 14 cats right now. 00:11:40.660 --> 00:11:44.660 We have four kittens, 00:11:44.660 --> 00:11:50.660 four kittens, an adult cat born at Anderson Humane Society on Saturday, and I think 00:11:50.660 --> 00:12:20.660 3 cats going to Iowa County Humane Society on Saturday. So we just, the cats, we can move out. Dogs, we're just, everybody's so full that for some reason, the cats are moving right now and the dogs are just sitting everywhere. Friends forever is full. I had somebody call me yesterday wanting to sign a nine month old dog over. I'm like, I can't, what am I supposed to do? I'm like, I don't know. We can't take any more in. And if we don't have room, we can't take them. Where do you take them? 00:12:20.660 --> 00:12:38.460 Iowa County, which is Dodgeville, Wisconsin, is taking three cats and then Anderson, Cummine is in Elgin, there's transports going that way from other shelters. 00:12:50.660 --> 00:12:54.400 Any questions on the weekly? 00:12:58.820 --> 00:13:01.259 And then the mental stride really didn't change a whole lot. 00:13:01.259 --> 00:13:06.259 I did have LA taxes do a 250 check for, 00:13:08.900 --> 00:13:11.360 it's a cat condo price, but she says whatever. 00:13:11.360 --> 00:13:12.460 She doesn't really care. 00:13:12.460 --> 00:13:13.900 She just did the 250. 00:13:13.900 --> 00:13:18.900 So she can, she doesn't care what it owes to. 00:13:18.900 --> 00:13:28.900 Any other questions, guys? 00:13:28.900 --> 00:13:29.900 Is there anyone else? 00:13:29.900 --> 00:13:30.900 Okay, thank you. 00:13:30.900 --> 00:13:31.900 Thank you. 00:13:31.900 --> 00:13:32.900 All right. 00:13:32.900 --> 00:13:35.900 We're going to go ahead and do our highway reports. 00:13:35.900 --> 00:13:36.900 Thank you. 00:13:36.900 --> 00:13:37.900 Oh, that's got to go first. 00:13:37.900 --> 00:13:44.900 On the last month, I guess it started out, I think, after our last meeting, we ended 00:13:44.900 --> 00:14:07.060 of, uh, well, I think for three days, I mean, that's most of them after we, that, that next week. Um, and then since then we've been cleaning curb and gutters in some of the smaller towns where we maintain them, uh, working on shoulders, patching potholes, started sweeping intersections this week. 00:14:07.060 --> 00:14:25.060 and we did do some cutting brush with the boom mower, cleaned up some downed trees from high windings and started maintenance on the, or taking piles off, painting the front of them to get the trucks ready for some work. 00:14:25.060 --> 00:14:47.180 I'm still waiting for a letting date for the Cedarville and Dakota Road projects. 00:14:47.180 --> 00:14:53.540 We executed a joint agreement on February 19th at Stout and Springfield and on a desk waiting 00:14:53.540 --> 00:15:23.540 for them to fully execute it so we can let the project, and I've been on the district and they just say, they're waiting for, they're waiting to sign a flexible. So I don't know what that means. So, so as soon as they sign the agreement that we can go to letting on the city bill and I'm packaging Dakota Road with it. That's totally local funding, but I want to do them both together because they're both full debt reclamation jobs. So I will get better days if we get them. 00:15:23.540 --> 00:15:24.780 both at the same time. 00:15:26.600 --> 00:15:31.600 The West Point Bridge was let earlier this week, 00:15:32.480 --> 00:15:34.580 and then we got a second one. 00:15:34.580 --> 00:15:36.140 The preliminary plans were submitted, 00:15:36.140 --> 00:15:39.040 and we're gonna have another leg spring 00:15:39.040 --> 00:15:40.500 letting for that project. 00:15:40.500 --> 00:15:42.300 So I can't let them at the same time 00:15:42.300 --> 00:15:43.740 because they're in the same road. 00:15:43.740 --> 00:15:46.340 We have to open up the one before we can let the, 00:15:46.340 --> 00:15:49.100 open up the other one, otherwise we'll landlock somebody. 00:15:49.100 --> 00:15:53.740 So, monthly or yearly overweight permits, 00:15:53.740 --> 00:15:56.260 right now the only permit process we have 00:15:56.260 --> 00:15:59.500 is per use permit, and it hasn't been a problem to date 00:15:59.500 --> 00:16:03.900 until we got a phone call this week from Safe Place 00:16:03.900 --> 00:16:05.940 about somebody who's overweight, 00:16:05.940 --> 00:16:09.660 how we're hauling raw milk products to a kid, 00:16:09.660 --> 00:16:12.760 two trips a day, six days a week, 00:16:12.760 --> 00:16:16.420 he's hauling 110 to $120 a bottle. 00:16:16.420 --> 00:16:46.380 He just called, the state cop had stopped in earlier, late last year at one point, we're just kind of curious on the permit process, because he stopped a trucker, a milk hauler, and said that they're hauling two times a day, six days a week, and when they're loaded, they're about 110, 120,000 pounds. 00:16:46.420 --> 00:17:16.420 and up until this time they said which contractor it was and we had never gotten a permit from them and so it had gone basically to October and I didn't know, I can't contact, he didn't have any information on who the contractor was or anything like that and then he came in earlier and brought in like the permit that they get from the state which is $1,000 a year 00:17:16.420 --> 00:17:45.420 Per Truck, and it's supposed to be only on highway or state roads, not local roads, and so I contact, I went off the permit, so I contacted that, it's TIA Trucking, so I contacted them, and his first response was they have basically have a permit for state roads, and I was like, well, that's the state road, that doesn't include 00:17:45.420 --> 00:17:51.340 does it include the local roads and he's like so then he replied to that he's like after more 00:17:51.340 --> 00:17:57.660 looking into it you're I was incorrect it doesn't it's not included in the the price because he 00:17:57.660 --> 00:18:03.900 thought it was if you're delivering within so far of a state road it's included on the permit 00:18:04.620 --> 00:18:10.220 now it's in full type on the state permit says this does not include local roads yeah you have 00:18:10.220 --> 00:18:15.180 to contact local authorities and they just a lot of them they just ignore it they think it's good 00:18:15.420 --> 00:18:36.420 Yeah, so I guess the question is, do we want to do some go through trying to set up a monthly or yearly permit process, or do I just say he has to follow the same procedure as everybody else and because we have local contractors that like Fisher, for example, they do quite a few each year. 00:18:36.420 --> 00:18:47.420 And if we're, I guess if we're going to do this for a non-local contractor, we would do it for a local contractor. 00:18:47.420 --> 00:18:54.420 And so, and that size of a load is $300 a permit. 00:18:54.420 --> 00:19:02.420 And realistically, that doesn't cover the damage that it's probably doing to the road. 00:19:02.420 --> 00:19:32.420 and you're saying three sounds a year? No, no, no. And he's been, I mean, he's got, and the state count basically said when he was talking to this trucker, there was another one that was coming through and they were going on 20. And I'm assuming they go 20 to 10. And this one was coming off of 73, going on doubling. So this company is just doing 00:19:32.420 --> 00:19:59.910 Twice a day, six days a week. What's that? What's that? What's that? Contractor tiffage. No, I don't. He was not. I think that's $3,600 a week. But how did they know how they were being bought? Because the officers spoke with them, like talked to them, like they pulled them over and just gave them a warning. So he gave them that information voluntarily. He didn't have to weigh the truck. Yeah. I mean, like the permit that was sent that they had. 00:19:59.910 --> 00:20:14.910 I was sent that they had said it was like 110,000 pounds or whatever, but the guy, the officer told me that the guy basically said it was around 104 to 110,000 pounds. 00:20:14.910 --> 00:20:21.910 So it's like three truckloads instead of him doing it twice, they need to be like having a truck. 00:20:21.910 --> 00:20:34.910 Generalistically, I mean like the talent doubled in Canada, I mean, those are 80,000 pounds, but, or 73,280. 73,280, so they're not designed to handle 110, 120,000 pounds. 00:20:34.910 --> 00:20:40.910 And you're permitting local companies know that they have to get permits. 00:20:40.910 --> 00:20:47.910 Yeah. So when Fishery asks for a permit, we give them for use permits. So every time he hauls, he gets a permit. 00:20:47.910 --> 00:20:56.509 Permanent, but this is kind of an unusual situation where he reads 12 permits per week and he 00:20:56.509 --> 00:21:00.190 hasn't, he's got one permit and he hasn't gotten anything else. 00:21:00.190 --> 00:21:01.190 He's got his load down. 00:21:01.190 --> 00:21:02.190 Was that the other day? 00:21:02.190 --> 00:21:03.190 He's got to cut his load down. 00:21:03.190 --> 00:21:08.110 Yeah, that's the other option is just don't go overweight. 00:21:08.110 --> 00:21:11.110 And how do you monitor this? 00:21:11.110 --> 00:21:16.470 Yeah, you're sticking with the road saying, okay, you can't go over there. 00:21:16.470 --> 00:21:19.750 Yeah, that comes down to an enforcement. That's a Sheriff's Office. 00:21:20.390 --> 00:21:26.030 Now we have, we have the scales and we, yeah, yeah, we have the scale for it. 00:21:26.030 --> 00:21:30.950 So, so let me ask, do you anticipate that there are many other companies 00:21:30.950 --> 00:21:36.269 that are doing the same thing and you need to put in a new permit? 00:21:37.269 --> 00:21:38.310 I mean, I have no idea. 00:21:38.310 --> 00:21:41.190 No, there might be other, there might be other ones doing the same thing. 00:21:41.190 --> 00:22:11.190 What happens when they get a state permit? I'll get like, not these yearly ones. I don't get notification for this. But if they, if somebody gets a state permit and it's going on a township road or a county road, I'll get like an email from the state, like showing me the permit. And then if I notice that they don't, if I have time and notice that they haven't gotten a local permit, I'll send an email to the contact on the 00:22:11.190 --> 00:22:25.470 The Permanent, three times out of 10, maybe they'll get a permit. But realistically, we have no, I can't, we can't enforce it. So you can't drive this road without getting a permit. 00:22:26.670 --> 00:22:28.430 Until they get caught. 00:22:29.150 --> 00:22:39.910 And even then, oh, sorry, if they'll give a ticket, if they get caught. I mean, this contractor got caught and still hasn't, twice, and he still hasn't gotten a ticket. 00:22:39.910 --> 00:22:45.910 So you say the Sheriff, I'm not understanding if they can enforce this, so does the Sheriff write 00:22:45.910 --> 00:22:49.030 overweight tickets? Sheriff can write them, state police can write them? 00:22:49.990 --> 00:22:54.070 They can write them, but didn't write this guy wrong. They did, but they haven't asked. 00:22:56.070 --> 00:23:02.070 Two separate issues though, right? It is, right. So you definitely, we definitely do not want 00:23:02.070 --> 00:23:08.789 overweight trucks on our roads and roads are bad enough as they are severely underfunded to repair. 00:23:09.910 --> 00:23:18.910 My personal opinion is absolutely there needs to be permits, because you're trying to get people to not do what they're doing. 00:23:18.910 --> 00:23:32.910 The other side of it, that's public property and safety, that's talking to the Sheriff, who's an elected official and asking them to be looking for this type of thing. 00:23:32.910 --> 00:23:36.910 There are two separate issues. 00:23:36.910 --> 00:23:50.870 Well, so am I understanding correctly, you, we already have a policy in place, but it's been kind of used as needed point by point, because this would be such a continuous use, that's what makes the situation unique? 00:23:52.269 --> 00:23:57.070 Correct, I mean, his, in reality, he'd have to get 12 permits 00:23:58.950 --> 00:24:03.390 per week, at 300 a pop, so 3600. 00:24:03.390 --> 00:24:03.910 It would be. 00:24:03.910 --> 00:24:11.910 So, he won't do it because his state permit is $1,000. So, he'll just have to hold $80,000 dollars. 00:24:11.910 --> 00:24:12.910 Which is very gross. 00:24:12.910 --> 00:24:13.910 Right. 00:24:13.910 --> 00:24:17.910 At the end of the day, we want to make money off of this. 00:24:17.910 --> 00:24:27.910 I'm trying to keep the policy as it is, but I just wonder, I want to see your feelings on what to do with it. 00:24:27.910 --> 00:24:32.390 Leaving it alone, can I just say this, leaving it alone seems to be more of a 00:24:32.390 --> 00:24:40.390 partnership to make a new right. If we can then talk to our public safety about doing a few checks 00:24:40.390 --> 00:24:46.390 to put some pressure on. That's not putting any pressure on by making it yearly, but we can 00:24:46.390 --> 00:24:53.190 talk to our other department about doing a few courtesy checks that might help them to put that 00:24:53.190 --> 00:25:13.150 from the Cheese Factory, and actually even the state police have been very cooperative 00:25:13.150 --> 00:25:14.150 ones. 00:25:14.150 --> 00:25:18.390 If we let them know that somebody's run overloaded, they'll get out there and check it. 00:25:18.390 --> 00:25:20.390 They'll need a couple of tickets. 00:25:20.390 --> 00:25:22.390 It's not going to take much. 00:25:22.390 --> 00:25:46.510 There was a super load that went through Micot Township and Sheriff stated, please pull him 00:25:46.510 --> 00:25:47.510 over. 00:25:47.510 --> 00:25:51.750 And I got a phone call from the turkey company the next day asking if there's anything I can 00:25:51.750 --> 00:25:56.750 Doob, about his $30,000 ticket. Because he was running $190,000. 00:25:56.750 --> 00:26:01.750 I think it was like $250,000. Yeah, I think it was like $200,000. 00:26:01.750 --> 00:26:06.750 And I think there was a couple of them. I think there was one that had already gone through the township. 00:26:06.750 --> 00:26:11.750 This one actually got stuck. Yeah. So there was multiple. It wasn't just that long. 00:26:11.750 --> 00:26:16.750 These guys know what you're doing. They do. They try to pull their... 00:26:16.750 --> 00:26:37.230 I think the policy probably checks out, and again, the inconvenience of it is more the 00:26:37.230 --> 00:26:41.710 incentive than anything else. 00:26:41.710 --> 00:27:11.710 you know what that continuous is going to cost us loans and you know all right okay big tabs I think you've got them in your packet we had a letting for the first West Point Bound Set Brinch we have one two three five bidders a low bid was six hundred fifty fifty five thousand four hundred thirty which is about three percent over the engineer's estimate so it's thumbs are within five percent you're and it's it's a little 00:27:11.710 --> 00:27:34.710 and so we had some good vids for that bridge and then we had on the same day we had our material letting for our favorite preservation project on Orangeville Road and we had good vids for that and they're under the engineer's estimate so that material will be as awardable. 00:27:34.710 --> 00:27:54.710 Last thing was the good news for the county. We received a Rural and Tribal Assistance Grant for $523,915. That was for preliminary engineering for the roundabout at Cedarville Road in Toledo. 00:27:54.710 --> 00:28:04.710 The grant is only for preliminary engineering work. It was one of 50 projects awarded in the country. 00:28:04.710 --> 00:28:12.710 And there were two of them. Boone County got one for some bridge-bundling project, and we got ours for Roundabout. 00:28:12.710 --> 00:28:23.710 And it's 100% funding. So it'll cover all of the Phase 1 and Phase 2 for the design of the new Roundabout. 00:28:23.710 --> 00:28:36.190 Roundabout. So then, and this is, it's a federal fund, so that takes about two years. So for FYA 2028, we'll pursue safety funds for the construction of it. 00:28:37.750 --> 00:28:47.470 HSIP loves, the federal safety funds love roundabouts, so I think we'll have a good shot at it. 00:28:47.470 --> 00:29:07.990 Askment, I think it's inflated, but the preliminary engineering, the askment was for the exact amount for construction, the round about 3.4 million, so I think it'll come in a little bit less than that, but I've got an engineer's 00:29:07.990 --> 00:29:21.269 S.T.E.S.T.E.M.E.T. for the construction. So somewhere around 2028, we'll try to get funds to build it. So everything's moving pretty good along for that. 00:29:21.269 --> 00:29:23.269 I was going to say, I would follow the stage. 00:29:23.269 --> 00:29:53.269 Uh, no, it's, um, uh, Linear Road and Cedarville Road, Cedarville Road, yeah, it's, um, kind of a skewed intersection and, um, we run into wetlands, so, uh, it looks like roundabout is the most feasible alternative for that because you have to try to fit it, be, stay away from the solar farm, the railroad tracks, the wetlands, the, uh, storage, uh, place right there, so, and there's, there's a tall, uh, 00:29:53.269 --> 00:29:55.269 Power Pole right there, too. 00:29:55.269 --> 00:30:18.869 Everything is looking good. We haven't gotten into the construction season yet. So everything 00:30:18.869 --> 00:30:21.910 is on line with that so far. 00:30:21.910 --> 00:30:25.150 So I'll see if anybody else sees anything 00:30:25.150 --> 00:30:26.389 that there's no... 00:30:32.389 --> 00:30:35.589 Construction season hasn't really started yet, so we're all. 00:30:35.589 --> 00:30:36.430 I should. 00:30:36.430 --> 00:30:37.250 All right. Thank you. 00:30:37.250 --> 00:30:38.089 Thank you. 00:30:40.089 --> 00:30:41.389 We're all business. 00:30:41.389 --> 00:30:45.069 So we'll move to 8.0, new business, 00:30:45.069 --> 00:30:51.710 Sam, 8.1 is HD2646, the other one. 00:30:51.710 --> 00:31:02.190 Yeah, this is at West Point Township Bridge, it's a township, it's a TPP project, and so 00:31:02.190 --> 00:31:09.750 that's 80-20 funding, and now it's 100% now, 100%, yeah, so. 00:31:09.750 --> 00:31:10.750 Engineering is? 00:31:10.750 --> 00:31:11.750 Engineering is 80-10-10. 00:31:11.750 --> 00:31:12.750 What construction is? 00:31:12.750 --> 00:31:22.950 Construction is 100% so 655,000 is low bidder, construction is the contractor and they've 00:31:22.950 --> 00:31:30.670 done work for it before and they've been doing a good job so I recommend awarding it. 00:31:30.670 --> 00:31:42.670 I'd like to make a motion to approve the policy by Larry, second by Moderow, all in favor say aye, aye, any opposed? 00:31:42.670 --> 00:31:44.670 All right, good. 00:31:44.670 --> 00:31:46.670 We'll sound it over in a second. 00:31:46.670 --> 00:31:48.670 Thank you, Dr. Wyeth. 00:33:00.670 --> 00:33:02.670 and the Chair. 00:33:02.670 --> 00:33:04.670 Can you give us some information? 00:33:04.670 --> 00:33:06.670 I'm good. 00:33:06.670 --> 00:33:08.670 Thank you. 00:33:08.670 --> 00:33:10.670 It takes us to the point of two, 00:33:10.670 --> 00:33:12.670 approval of the bids for the kennels 00:33:12.670 --> 00:33:14.670 and that's all. 00:33:14.670 --> 00:33:16.670 It's a picture. 00:33:16.670 --> 00:33:18.670 Information, 00:33:18.670 --> 00:33:20.670 sharing of the kennels 00:33:20.670 --> 00:33:22.670 and the 00:33:22.670 --> 00:33:24.670 information 00:33:24.670 --> 00:33:26.670 that we have 00:33:26.670 --> 00:33:28.670 in the 00:33:28.670 --> 00:33:40.430 So we only got one bid that came in and actually I compared it to the company I was originally 00:33:40.430 --> 00:33:47.470 looking at and they are actually under that company by the fact that the amount they quoted 00:33:47.470 --> 00:33:56.630 us was with shipping and the amount that I was looking at the other place was 16,000 00:33:56.630 --> 00:34:06.230 Without Shipping, so I had three companies contact me, only one sent the vet though, and 00:34:06.230 --> 00:34:15.110 this company actually works with government animal controls, so they know what the kennels 00:34:15.110 --> 00:34:22.090 need to be, they have everything that the other kennels were going to have in it, including 00:34:22.090 --> 00:34:27.250 like the bulls that swivel in that way you don't have to you can feed without actually 00:34:27.250 --> 00:34:37.409 going into the kennels the special anti-fight design so the dogs aren't fence fighting yeah 00:34:37.409 --> 00:34:46.369 so I did send them a diagram to all three companies that reached out of the kennels 00:34:46.369 --> 00:34:50.929 we were kind of looking at and so they had kind of an idea of what we were looking for 00:34:50.929 --> 00:35:01.769 North. They're based out of Texas. The only thing I have to change, they think they're 00:35:01.769 --> 00:35:07.650 shipping them to the Lamb Road, which I'll get that fixed before we get into it. So they 00:35:07.650 --> 00:35:11.650 understand they're not shipping them there. 00:35:11.650 --> 00:35:17.650 Is there a satisfaction for the two of you?
