ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? RICHARD? WE HAVE A MOTION FROM COMMISSIONER FAVOR SAY AYE.
A OPPOSED? ALRIGHT, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
I'M HERE TODAY TO ANNOUNCE THAT WE'VE RECEIVED A THOUSAND DOLLARS GRANT FROM THE FIREFIGHTERS CHARITABLE FOUNDATION AND WE'D LIKE YOUR PERMISSION TO SPEND THE MONIES, UH, TO PURCHASE SMOKE DETECTORS TO BE GIVEN TO OUR AREA FIRE DEPARTMENTS IN OCTOBER.
THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE NAMED IN OCTOBER, WE CREATED A FIRE EDUCATION PROJECT AMONGST, UM, OUR FIRE DEPARTMENTS AND OUR FIRE MARSHAL'S OFFICE AND WE STARTED COLLECTING AND GETTING DONATIONS FOR FIRE SMOKE DETECTORS TO TAKE TO HOMES AND GIVE TO OUR VOLUNTEER FIREMEN TO BE ABLE TO GO INTO HOMES.
UM, I WOULD LIKE YOUR PERMISSION TO USE SOME FUNDS THAT WE HAVE RECEIVED TO PURCHASE MORE FIRE ALARMS OR SMOKE ALARMS TO GIVE TO OUR FIRE DEPARTMENTS.
WE HAVE COVERED THREE OF THE 13, SO WE STILL HAVE 10 THAT WE NEED TO COVER AND ANY FUNDS THAT ARE LEFT OVER FROM THAT TO USE FOR EDUCATION, FIRE, ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? YOU ASK HOW MANY? UH, SMOKE DID DID THAT IN OCTOBER WE WERE ABLE TO GIVE THE THREE DEPARTMENTS I BELIEVE GOT 10 EACH.
AND SO WE WOULD LIKE TO GIVE 10.
IF WE GIVE 10 TO EACH OF THE DEPARTMENTS, THEN THAT PUTS OUR FIREMEN, OUR VOLUNTEER AND REGULAR FIREMEN KIND OF MORE AND CONTROL OR OR MORE PERSONAL CONTACT WITH THEIR, WITH THEIR RESIDENTS.
THEY KNOW WHO MIGHT NEED THEM, WHO REALLY NEED A LITTLE HELP.
THE MORE THAT WE CAN EDUCATE THE PUBLIC ABOUT FIRE SAFETY, THE BETTER OFF WE ARE, THE BETTER OFF OUR FIRE DEPARTMENTS ARE AND GIVE THEM THAT LITTLE BIT OF EXTRA TIME TO GET THERE TO STAY.
THE ALIVE QUESTION WILL BE SOME TYPE OF APPROVE THAT THEN WE'LL BRING A LINE OUT ON OUR BUDGET AND IF APPROVED FOR HER, SUSPEND IT LIKE WE DID, WE DID FROM YEAH, WE'VE ALREADY RECEIVED A A THOUSAND DOLLARS GRANT FROM THE RAISE SET GROWTH GO PROGRAM AND I'M ALSO GLAD TO SAY THAT KAUFMAN UH, FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS ANOTHER RECIPIENT OF ONE OF THE THOUSAND DOLLAR GRANT.
THERE ARE PEOPLE OUT THERE WHO WANT TO HELP OUR FIRE DEPARTMENTS AND THAT'S WONDERFUL.
AND THIS READY SAY GO IS ONE OF 'EM.
IT'S ALL ABOUT EDUCATING THE PUBLIC.
SO MAN MOTION ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE.
UH, MRS. COOPER HAS ASKED THAT THE TABLE ITEM NUMBER FOUR, UH, WE'RE STILL DOING THE CONVERSION ON THE SOFTWARE FINANCIAL REQUEST.
I HAVE A MOTION ITEM, A MOTION THAT I HAVE.
SECOND, SECOND, SECOND FROM COMMISSIONER UH CLARK.
[00:10:01]
IN FAVOR SAY ITEM NUMBER SIX IS TO DISCUSS THIS SOMEBODY GAVE US.OH, I'M SORRY BUT THIS IS A GOOD ONE TOO, GIVEN US A LOT OF MONEY.
GOOD MORNING GENTLEMEN ON THE REPORT.
UH, I KNOW SOME OF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN THIS REPORT BEFORE, SO I'M JUST GONNA GIVE A LITTLE BIT OF WALKTHROUGH OF WHAT WE'RE SEEING HERE.
THE UH, FIRST COLUMN IS LAST YEAR'S AMOUNT THAT WE WERE TRYING TO COLLECT, WHICH WAS 29 MAY 120,267 AND WE HAD COLLECTED 6% BY THIS TIME LAST YEAR.
THE NEXT COLUMN SAYS CURRENT ROLL AMOUNT.
WE ARE HOPING TO COLLECT 29,244,000, $147.
AT THIS TIME WE'VE COLLECTED 40%.
NOW YOU'LL SEE THE DISPARITY THERE, BUT THAT REALLY DOESN'T MEAN A WHOLE LOT BECAUSE WHAT THAT MEANS IS THAT SOME OF THE MORTGAGE COMPANIES DECIDED TO PAY IN DECEMBER INSTEAD OF JANUARY, UH, SO THAT PEOPLE WOULDN'T TAKE IT OFF THEIR TAXES.
SO THAT'S WHY WE HAD A COUPLE OF HUGE LIKE MULTIMILLION DOLLAR TRANSFERS BASED ON MORTGAGE COMPANIES.
SO THAT'S WHY IT'S UP HIGHER THIS YEAR.
SO WE HAVE, UH, COLLECTED 40% OF THAT FOR THIS YEAR.
YOUR DELINQUENCY AMOUNTS ARE ON THE NEXT PORTION THERE TO THE RIGHT.
LAST YEAR THE DELINQUENCY AMOUNT WAS AT $2,347,448.
THIS YEAR IT'S A LITTLE BIT LESS DELINQUENCY AMOUNT, WHICH IS GOOD NEWS, WHICH IS A $2,204,999.
AT THIS POINT WE HAVE COLLECTED UP TO 8% OF THE MALIGNANCY AMOUNT AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE WORK WITH WITH THE ATTORNEY.
UM, THE BOTTOM PORTION OF YOUR SHEET IS ROAD AND BRIDGE TAXES AND READING IT THE SAME WAY ACROSS.
LAST YEAR WE HAD ABOUT 3.3 MILLION.
THIS YEAR WE HAVE 3.189 MILLION.
SO THAT'S HOW MUCH IN RODENT BRANCH TAXES WE'RE LOOKING TO COLLECT.
AT THIS POINT WE'VE COLLECTED ENOUGH TO BE 40%, SO WE COLLECTED $1,277,443 FOR 40% AT THIS POINT.
THIS IS ALL AS OF THE END OF DECEMBER.
OKAY? AND LAST YEAR DELINQUENT FOR ROAD BRIDGE WE HAD 290,000 4 95 YEAR.
SO WE DO HAVE THE ROAD AND BRIDGE SEPARATED FROM THE REST OF THE GENERAL FUND AND THE GENERAL FUND, WHICH IS THIS TOP NUMBER, THIS 29 MILLION PLUS.
THAT'S WHAT YOU WORK OUT OF TO MAKE YOUR DECISIONS ON WHERE THE MONEY GOES.
SO THAT'S THE, THAT'S WHERE WE'RE FOCUSING IN ON HERE IS THE MONEY THAT YOU'RE GONNA HAVE.
AND JUST SO Y'ALL KNOW, AS A GENERAL RULE OF THUMB, I'VE LOOKED BACK FOR THE LAST 10 YEARS.
GENERALLY SPEAKING, BY THE END OF JANUARY WE WILL COLLECTED ABOUT 80% OF THOSE TAXES AND THE REST OF THE YEAR WE WORK ON COLLECTING AS MUCH AS WE CAN GET UP TO THAT HUNDRED PERCENT OR MORE.
OKAY? DO YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ON THIS FORM ON COLLECTIONS QUESTIONS? ABSOLUTELY.
I HAVE A MOTION TO ACCEPT THE RECORD AS UH, PRESENTED BY THE MOTION.
COMMISSIONER ROSA, ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE.

I MIGHT NOT LET YOU GIVE YOU HATS FOR UP ITEM NUMBER SEVEN, I'M CHECKING AHEAD OF THE TIME TRYING, TRYING TO GET US THROUGH THIS TO DISCUSS AND CONSIDER THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT DONATION OF USED WESTERN HOUSE HATS TO THE GENESIS CENTER PER SECTION 2 63 0.152 OF THE LOCAL GOVERNOR VOTE.

ANY QUESTIONS? I HAVE A MOTION TO UH, CONSIDER UH, DONATING THE HATCH TO THE GENESIS CENTER.
SO MAY COMMISSIONER MOTION HAVE A SECOND, SECOND, SECOND.
ALRIGHT, NOW I HAVE NUMBER EIGHT.
JUST CONSIDER AUTHORIZING THE COUNTY GOODS TO SIGN LEASE PURCHASE AGREEMENTS.
DOCUMENTS RELATED TO FINANCING OF COUNTY VEHICLES FOR AMERICAN MONEY.
UH, GENTLEMEN, THIS IS TOPIC WE'VE ALREADY ALREADY DISCUSSED.
IT'S THE FINANCING FOR THE, UH, CHILD, THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE AND THE ONE VEHICLE FOR THE JUVENILE PROBATION.
WANTED LITTLE BETTER LANGUAGE IN THERE.
THE MINUTES ALL APPROVED AND FOR THE VEHICLE THEY DIDN'T GET ATTORNEY.
AND THIS IS NOT ALL THE VEHICLES WE PAID FOR SEVEN OUTTA LAST YEAR.
AND THE REST WOULD AT LEAST PURCHASE ON FOR THIS YEAR OR TWO YEAR PERIOD I BELIEVE.
