SO I HAVE A MOTION. MOTION. DO I HAVE A SECOND? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? THANK YOU.
MOTION CARRIED. ALL RIGHT. ITEM B IS THE REQUEST FROM LAGRANGE HOUSING AUTHORITY THIS AFTERNOON. I WAS ABLE, THROUGH THE HELPLACK WITH THE LAGRANGE HOUSI, TO REACH THEIR ARCHITECTS. I DID WITH OUR COUNTY ENGINEER. WITH MAKING A REQUEST FOR APPROVAL.
TWO ITEMS. ONE IS, I THINK, TALKING WITH THE COUNTY ATTORNEY, WE ARE IN NEED OF SOME SORT OF A JOINT FUNDING AGREEMENT. I'VE SHARED THAT REQUEST WITH BOTH MISS HURD AS
[00:05:05]
WELL AS PATRICK CITY MANAGER. AND SO IT'LL IT'LL BE HAVE PLACED THAT ON THEM TO HELP TO ESTABLISH THAT AGREEMENT AGAIN THAT WILL SOLIDIFY THE FUNDING MECHANISMS BETWEEN THE THREE ORGANIZATIONS IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO MOVE FORWARD. WE DO BELIEVE, SIMILAR TO THE CITY, WE CAN PROVIDE SOME IN-KIND SERVICES FOR THE PAVING OF THE PARKING LOT THAT WAS TALKED ABOUT THIS MORNING. THIS PARKING AGAIN. THERE'S CERTAINLYEEDSEX TO BE SOME FURTHER CONVERSATIONS WITH. BUT JUST WANT TO NOTIFY YOU ONHE PROGRESS THAT WE HAVE MADE SINCE THIS MORNING'S MEETING. WELL. SIR, THE CONTRACT BASICALLY, WOULD IT BE SOME SORT OF A JOINT FUNDING AGREEMENT TALKING? MARK, THIS WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT WOULD BE EITHER DRAWN UP BY JEFF TODD OR THE ATTORNEY THAT SERVES THE HOUSING AUTHORITY WELL IN THAT CONTRACT. WOULDN'T IT HAVE TO SHOW SOME KIND OF WHAT TRIPP CGOING TO RE? YES. AND MARK, YOU CAN. OF UNLIKE A CITY, THERE'S NO DIRECT STATUTORY AUTHORITY FOR THETY T. AUTHORITY. THE COUNTY CAN ENTER INTO ESSENTIALLY AN INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT WITH ANOTHER GOVERNMENTAL ENTITY LIKE THE HOUSING AUTHORITY AND OR THE CITY. AND THE KEY TO THAT IS THAT THE SUBJECT OF THAT AGREEMENT HAS GOT TO INVOLVE SOMETHING THAT ALL THE ENTITIES COULD PROVIDE, COULD DO. CERTAINLY THE COUNTY CAN, BUT WITH THE WITH THE APPROVAL OF THE CITY, PROVIDE PAVING SERVICES WITHIN THE CITY. AND ALSO THAT THERE'S SOME SOME EXCHANGE OF VALUE, SOME CONSIDERATION GOING BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN ALL THE PARTIES INVOLVED. SO MY REQUEST TO THE BOARD TODAY WOULD BE TO, TO TABLE THIS AND STAFF AND ATTORNEY TO CONTINUE TO. FORMALIZE THIS AGREEMENT AS WELL AS COME UP WITH. MOVE FORWARD WITH THE PROJECT WOULD BE BETTER TO. TABLE IT INSTEAD OF CONTINUING IT TO THE NEXT MEETING. OR HOW WHAT WOULD BE THE. I THINK IT'S ONE OF THE SAME, I MEAN, BASICALLY, RIGHT. IT'S THE SAME. YOU JUST CHOOSE NOT TO TAKE ACTION AND GET IT BACK ON THE AGENDA. YOU CAN TABLE IT. YEAH. IT'S SEMANTICS. WE GET ALL THE INFORMATION. ALL RIGHT. DO I HAVE A SECOND? SECOND? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, VICE CHAIR.INTO ITEM B I'LL MAKE SURE I. I WILL RELAY THAT TO MRS. HURD AS WELL AS PATRICK BUIE OF DECISIONS BOARD AND WHAT WE'RE WAITING ON. SO ALL RIGHT NEXT ITEM IS ITEM C IS CONSIDERATION OF THE BRUNCH BILL RESOLUTION. I BELIEVE MR. HARPER IS HERE. GOOD EVENING. GOOD EVENING. WE BRIEFLY SPOKE ABOUT THIS THE OTHER WEEK. AND YOU WOULD NEED TO APPROVE A RESOLUTION FOR IT TO GO ON THE BALLOT. AND THEN OUR BOARD WOULD HAVE TO DO THE ACTUAL CALL AND PUBLISH THE CALL IN ORDER FOR IT TO GO FORWARD BEFORE THAT. THAT HAPPENS. SO WE CAN'T PLACE IT ON THE BALLOT UNTIL Y'ALL TELL US TO PUT IT ON THE BALLOT. AND THAT WOULD BE THE RESOLUTION THAT Y'ALL ARE LOOKING AT TODAY. WHAT'S THE TIME SCHEDULE. IT'S TIGHT LINE. IT'S THIS IS THE WE AT THE END OF THE TIGHT LINE FOR THE FOR THE NOVEMBER. IF NOT IT WOULD BE A SPECIAL ELECTION BY ITSELF BECAUSE AT THE TIMELINE IS NOT A NORMAL 90 DAY WINDOW. IT'S A 45 DAY WINDOW IN A MUNICIPALITY THAT YOU CAN ADD IT TO A 45 DAY WINDOW VERSUS A 90. SO YOU WOULD LOOK AT A SPECIAL ELECTION ALL BY ITSELF THAT WOULD BE ON THE BALLOT WITH THE COUNTY, WOULD HAVE TO HOLD AND OPEN ALL PRECINCTS. SOMETHING SIMILAR TO WHAT WE HAD LAST NOVEMBER. YES, THIS IS THE SAME DEAL. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS CHANGING THE TIME FROM 1230, BACKING IT UP TO 11 A.M. TO BE ABLE TO SELL ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE ON ON PREMISES AT 11 A.M. INSTEAD OF WAITING TILL 1230 AFTER LUNCH.
OR THEY CAN GET THEIR MIMOSAS AND EVERYTHING BEFORE WHEN THEY WHEN THEY EAT BREAKFAST. ALL IT? NOT THAT I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION. SO THE MOTION IS TO FOR THE. YEAH FOR THE RESOLUTION FOR

IT WOULD JUST TAKE ONE BECAUSE THIS IS ACTUALLY GOING TO BE A CERTIFIED JAIL OFFICER. TWO WE'LL SEND THIS INDIVIDUAL TO JAIL OR SCHOOL SO THEY COULD HELP OUT WITH CORRECTIONAL FACILITY THINGS AS WELL AS MENTAL HEALTH. SO OKAY. ANY QUESTIONS? YES, SIR. LIAISON POSITION. SO MOVED. MR.

WE STARTED THE PROGRAM AND IT'S BEEN A GOOD PROGRAM FOR US. VERY SIMILAR, SOMEWHAT SIMILAR TO THE PROGRAM WE HAVE WITH CATERPILLAR FOR OUR LEAST TRACTORS.
