We just thank you, Lord, and for giving us this opportunity to continue on in our work on today. In Jesus' name, amen. 00:00:45.760 --> 00:01:15.740 Yeah. Approval of tonight's agenda. So moved.

Seeing none, we move on. Report two committees, sheriff's department. 00:02:18.960 --> 00:02:23.800 Good evening. We have two that are in the field training program where they've been there a lot a month and they're doing well. 00:02:24.440 --> 00:02:31.420 You've got the crime suppression unit stats today. My chief deputy was a little late on that. He has been off and got her off today. 00:02:31.940 --> 00:02:39.060 I don't have anything to report from old business, but the need for the sheriff's office. We've got our first overweight vehicle, I believe, a week ago. 00:02:39.060 --> 00:02:41.680 I will keep everyone posted to see how that goes. 00:02:41.780 --> 00:02:47.340 I'm not sure how it proceeds through the court system with us doing it, but we will find out. 00:02:48.600 --> 00:02:53.660 28,000 pound overweight with a gravel load on a belt truck. 00:02:54.020 --> 00:02:54.080 Okay. 00:02:54.080 --> 00:02:57.880 So it was coming out of the quarry, some other things that happened. 00:02:58.560 --> 00:03:08.880 It was pulled over for no license, and then they did the rest of the inspection and weighed the vehicle and ended up being 28,000 over the weight, the proper weight for the axle. 00:03:09.060 --> 00:03:37.540 Okay. I don't know anything else about that. We had a water main break at the jail. It was out in the front parking lot, the south parking lot. The water was bubbling up between the seam of the curb and the parking service. We had no idea what was coming from. I called the water department. They verified that it appeared to be the main. I called the chairman immediately as plans were being put in motion for contingencies, just so everyone here is kind of up to date on how things could happen at the jail. 00:03:37.540 --> 00:03:42.960 So the first thing that we found out was the water could have been shut off anywhere from four to five hours. 00:03:43.560 --> 00:03:52.660 We would then have a toilet issue with the flushing, and then we would put on a boil order for 72 hours to have the jail if that were the case. 00:03:53.800 --> 00:04:03.620 A worst case scenario was we would have had to transfer inmates to neighboring jails for hoarding until the water main was fixed and the jail was up and running with water. 00:04:03.620 --> 00:04:10.720 is we have to have water in order to maintain our Illinois Department of Corrections standards. 00:04:11.260 --> 00:04:14.680 The great news is, is the water department was able to reroute the water. 00:04:14.860 --> 00:04:16.260 We did not have to have a boil order. 00:04:16.360 --> 00:04:17.840 We had water the entire time. 00:04:17.900 --> 00:04:18.640 We were not down. 00:04:19.500 --> 00:04:25.520 They were able to fix that within a few hours, and we're up and running. 00:04:25.520 --> 00:04:31.100 The only bad thing is, is they had to cut into our one-year-old surfaced parking lot. 00:04:31.100 --> 00:04:34.420 But it is the city's responsibility, though, to fix that. 00:04:34.740 --> 00:04:38.860 They'll be in that condition for about two months, and then they will resurface it for us. 00:04:42.600 --> 00:04:50.460 And the last thing I have, we've added some new pictures to the county boardroom that I've been working on for about three to six months with the Historical Society. 00:04:50.960 --> 00:05:00.520 You're going to see the courthouse in different phases throughout the years, starting with the first one, which was erected in 1837, and it was torn back down in 1840. 00:05:00.520 --> 00:05:26.320 you're going to see the monument progression and the second courthouse and also some pictures of the original jail so I think it looks pretty good and in the future you will have little placards to tell you exactly which each phase is I'm getting everything all the information correct from a 1970s historical book to make sure that pictures go with the description. Any questions for me? 00:05:26.320 --> 00:05:28.600 What's the population, Mr. Giles? 00:05:29.000 --> 00:05:33.360 It's about 72. It goes up and down, so I believe this morning it was 72. 00:05:36.420 --> 00:05:39.200 Okay. Any questions? 00:05:41.940 --> 00:05:43.280 Inspirationally available. 00:05:44.400 --> 00:05:45.000 Yes. 00:05:45.780 --> 00:05:46.840 Go ahead. 00:05:49.600 --> 00:05:51.300 Now, we move on. 00:05:52.340 --> 00:05:54.060 Emergency Management Agency. 00:05:54.560 --> 00:05:55.960 Thank you. Good evening, everybody. 00:05:55.960 --> 00:06:01.400 It's been a busy month this month for us, wrapping up things in LENA. 00:06:01.760 --> 00:06:14.100 We were working very closely with IEMA and the Small Business Administration trying to extend loan interest loans to those individuals and businesses in LENA that would need that help. 00:06:15.060 --> 00:06:22.320 The last report I received, I think there was 38 individuals and businesses from the LENA area that did request SBA assistance. 00:06:22.320 --> 00:06:30.660 That doesn't mean that they're going to take a loan out, but it means that they sat down and fulfilled the application and they may decide in the future to do that. 00:06:30.660 --> 00:06:40.420 But businesses have, I want to say, over a year to decide. Residents have a little over three months to decide if they want to get into the program. 00:06:41.700 --> 00:06:50.580 They finished shop, they closed up shop today, as a matter of fact. So that doesn't mean anything. They can still buy online, they can still pursue this online. 00:06:50.580 --> 00:06:58.980 but the actual Disaster Loan Outreach Center, they call it D-Lock, that was at the Legion Hall and has been shut down. 00:06:59.460 --> 00:07:05.300 We spent a lot of time canvassing the neighborhoods and the business districts, sending out emails, 00:07:06.420 --> 00:07:11.460 going door-to-door, trying to get people informed and educated about this opportunity. I think we did 00:07:11.460 --> 00:07:17.380 everything as well as we could possibly build staffing that we had. I'd like to thank IEMIN, 00:07:17.380 --> 00:07:23.700 and our SBA systems there, they were outstanding. 00:07:25.300 --> 00:07:30.300 We attended a EMA coordinator meeting at Davenport, Iowa. 00:07:33.300 --> 00:07:36.900 It was a workshop type thing where they explained 00:07:36.900 --> 00:07:39.400 and they reviewed all of their practices 00:07:39.400 --> 00:07:43.300 as far as putting out warnings, the thresholds for the warnings 00:07:43.300 --> 00:07:44.960 and watches and so forth and so on. 00:07:44.960 --> 00:07:47.080 It was pretty interesting, last about two and a half hours 00:07:47.080 --> 00:07:53.540 gave us input on what we feel is the best way to get word out to you guys. 00:07:53.840 --> 00:07:55.380 You know, we're kind of in between that. 00:07:55.500 --> 00:07:59.580 They'll send it out, obviously, to get to television, get to your forum, all kinds of different apps. 00:08:00.520 --> 00:08:07.800 But again, you know, as far as Stevenson County, I want to make sure that the stakeholders and decision makers get the utmost up-to-date information. 00:08:08.380 --> 00:08:13.560 We have some severe weather possible tonight, tomorrow through Thursday evening, I believe, coming in. 00:08:14.600 --> 00:08:16.860 And I do send that out if you guys receive that. 00:08:17.080 --> 00:08:20.320 So that was interesting. It's kind of nice to put a face with a name. 00:08:22.360 --> 00:08:25.180 We had our EM2 Region 2 meeting in Hennepin. 00:08:26.200 --> 00:08:28.760 Obviously, the tornado was a topic of major discussion. 00:08:28.920 --> 00:08:31.140 I went through that pretty much start to finish. 00:08:31.860 --> 00:08:37.020 I guess now would be because of times I'd like to take the opportunity to compliment our sheriff, Steve Stoll. 00:08:37.160 --> 00:08:40.800 I worked side by side with him during that whole evolution and incident in Lena. 00:08:40.800 --> 00:08:46.060 And I'm going to say flat out, and we probably have the best sheriff in Illinois, 00:08:46.060 --> 00:09:16.060 in Illinois. Not in Illinois, but in Illinois. He is an outstanding individual. The way things played out, the command he took, I was impressed from day one and all throughout that incident. So thank you, Steve, for your professionalism and leadership in that incident. It was incredible. Thank you. We're looking at some classes. I know I promised a NIMS class for elected officials. We did not get the timing done on that. We're still looking in October and November. And we also have been requested to put on a NIMS 3 and 400 00:09:16.060 --> 00:09:37.600 Those are classes mostly for police officers, fire officers, and like maybe administration officials for schools and hospitals, possibly some county people will be involved with that too if they so desire and we're looking to do that in the fall too. Other than that, that is all I have. Do you have any questions for me? 00:09:37.600 --> 00:09:42.000 What does NIMS stand for? 00:09:42.580 --> 00:09:44.460 National Incident Management System. 00:09:44.460 --> 00:09:50.640 It's the federal government's program that we follow in major incidents. 00:09:51.280 --> 00:09:56.120 It outlines the chain of command and outlines who is in charge. 00:09:56.680 --> 00:09:59.920 It goes from a small incident like a traffic accident. 00:09:59.920 --> 00:10:05.000 from an incident like a traffic accident to a large incident like Bethelina to Hurricane Katrina. 00:10:05.000 --> 00:10:11.000 It's a uniform system that everybody trains on and needs to be aware of. 00:10:11.000 --> 00:10:12.000 Thank you. 00:10:12.000 --> 00:10:15.000 Anybody else? 00:10:15.000 --> 00:10:23.000 Well, Scott, I want to thank you and commend you, too, on handling this situation and working with the land as well. 00:10:23.000 --> 00:10:26.000 I hope you guys were taking care of this. 00:10:26.000 --> 00:10:52.000 Yeah, the one thing that we both talked about is there was nobody in there beating their chest saying I got to be in charge. It was all what needs to be done and what's the best way to get it done as quickly and safely as possible. And it was it was really was it completely by the book of the system? Absolutely not. But I've been in the Rixie management for over 30 years now and every incident is different. 00:10:52.000 --> 00:11:09.220 for the town, the village of Lena, I thought things went exceptionally well, and most importantly, nobody was injured, nobody was hurt from the storms, there was some minor injuries after, but that happens day to day in life anyway, so. 00:11:10.100 --> 00:11:13.020 So it was a scary incident, I mean, yeah. 00:11:13.780 --> 00:11:21.740 Yeah, I got some footage from the National Weather Service that they're not letting out, but on the backside of the storm, 00:11:22.000 --> 00:11:26.800 As it hit Lena, they figured that tornado was nearly a half mile wide 00:11:26.800 --> 00:11:31.860 So 135 to 145 mile an hour wind 00:11:31.860 --> 00:11:33.900 So I'm pretty lucky 00:11:33.900 --> 00:11:37.720 And it stayed up high enough that it didn't come down in those houses 00:11:37.720 --> 00:11:39.200 Yeah 00:11:39.200 --> 00:11:40.340 Take them totally out 00:11:40.340 --> 00:11:42.560 Yeah, the footage is pretty remarkable 00:11:42.560 --> 00:11:43.580 It really was 00:11:43.580 --> 00:11:48.540 They had some satellite photos too of the damage before and after 00:11:48.540 --> 00:11:57.020 and solar fields with a solar field circular motion of damage going through it and it's pretty impressive. 00:11:57.640 --> 00:12:05.440 And there was no looting or anything either, was there? Which is very nice. It just tells a lot about the community too. 00:12:06.480 --> 00:12:15.920 Yeah, the residents I spoke to from Lena had nothing but wonderful things to say about both of your departments and how wonderfully everything was handled and swiftly. 00:12:15.920 --> 00:12:19.460 and they couldn't have asked for a better team. 00:12:20.460 --> 00:12:21.040 Thank you. 00:12:21.180 --> 00:12:21.500 Thank you. 00:12:21.680 --> 00:12:28.300 More resources that you guys noticed that would be helpful in the future or you guys had everything you needed or? 00:12:29.640 --> 00:12:34.620 Yeah, there's a lot of things we can, you know, do different or could have done differently. 00:12:35.040 --> 00:12:37.740 I think we'll talk about communication is always an issue. 00:12:38.060 --> 00:12:40.860 Salt Howard, Redound, that was kind of something we battled through. 00:12:40.860 --> 00:13:10.800 You know, we have a group of people called COIA that can come in and assist, but in a small town like Lena, what really impressed me was the women's auxiliary firemen. Their wives came in and they turned into like assistant managers for Senate Command. They did everything as far as checking people next, eventually them, assigning duties. You know, was that fair to them? Probably not. We probably could have found maybe some people that wouldn't be, you know, 00:13:10.800 --> 00:13:14.200 could have at least relieved them a little bit more off of what they got. 00:13:14.520 --> 00:13:18.760 But telling people to go home when it's their community, it just doesn't happen. 00:13:19.060 --> 00:13:22.760 Telling the sheriff to go home when it's his county, it just doesn't happen. 00:13:23.080 --> 00:13:26.400 You know, we want to be there and make sure that all the needs are getting met. 00:13:26.480 --> 00:13:26.860 And they work. 00:13:27.460 --> 00:13:36.520 It's amazing the amount of different organizations, community organizations that come out, Red Cross, Salvation Army, local organizations that come out and help. 00:13:36.520 --> 00:13:41.800 and the resources that we have that you don't really know that you have until you have something like this. 00:13:42.700 --> 00:13:44.500 So what about Pearl City? 00:13:45.540 --> 00:13:47.960 Pearl City, it was a very smaller version of that. 00:13:48.080 --> 00:13:55.880 Their biggest issue was the power along Highway 73, and there was substantial damage to trees 00:13:55.880 --> 00:14:00.840 and slight damage to some buildings around the high school campus area, but that was about it. 00:14:00.840 --> 00:14:05.980 That tornado went north of the actual city itself. 00:14:05.980 --> 00:14:33.500 There was some damage, there was some straight line damage, but the actual tornado they figured was north of Pearl City, and they were afforded the same opportunities I met with, I don't know how to say this, he's not Lena's village president, but he is like the number two guy, I don't know, I met him at the fire station, we sat down and had a couple hour conversation, and I gave him all the information that he had, got words out, we made door-to-door it in Pearl City also, 00:14:33.500 --> 00:14:41.340 Bill, but there was not even near the amount of personal home damage in Pearl City that there was compared to Lisa. 00:14:42.340 --> 00:14:42.480 Okay. 00:14:43.880 --> 00:14:55.980 One thing about the small, like, Pearl City and Maine, the driver's school both in Decoder and Pearl City, I notice how the closeness that community is. 00:14:57.260 --> 00:15:03.000 It's a small, it's not as big as Freeport, but they're folks. 00:15:03.500 --> 00:15:04.140 Stay close. 00:15:05.660 --> 00:15:06.460 You're close. 00:15:06.860 --> 00:15:07.340 Okay. 00:15:12.060 --> 00:15:14.600 Conor, Conor, Conor, Conor's report. 00:15:15.020 --> 00:15:20.380 So, Conor reports that the truck that had the hail damage from Molina storm is now back in service. 00:15:20.500 --> 00:15:27.980 He wants to put out a special thanks to Deputy Conor Dwayne Coleman and Tom Temple for using their personal vehicles while the truck was down for a week. 00:15:28.560 --> 00:15:34.740 The truck was then, I think a few days after they got it back, it was backed into, in Dakota. 00:15:35.000 --> 00:15:43.000 area. Paint transfer was all I did mention to Tom that he should have a go go take a look at it since it's not 00:15:43.000 --> 00:15:49.160 anyone's we have a faulty driver just make sure the bumpers are still good and all that so he does have 00:15:49.160 --> 00:15:56.280 the accident report for that which we took. The coroner's page on the website coroner's page will 00:15:56.280 --> 00:16:03.800 be updated to include the revised report request FOIA form the updated form list list the updated form 00:16:03.800 --> 00:16:07.160 list of fees permitted under Illinois statutes. 00:16:07.880 --> 00:16:13.220 The updated became, or this update became, sorry, I don't have my glasses and put this in super small font. 00:16:13.580 --> 00:16:21.180 This update became necessary after an issue arose in which an outdated form with outlisted fees was used. 00:16:21.180 --> 00:16:31.720 For the public access counselor, the PAC, and the attorney general's office, the Stevens County Court could not legally charge fees because it was not posted, so he has fixed that. 00:16:31.720 --> 00:16:35.960 and I'm not sure what the fees are so we'll have to make sure you ask him about the next one. 00:16:36.580 --> 00:16:43.380 The more the air filtration system in the more requires a new filter. It was discovered during 00:16:43.380 --> 00:16:49.640 the time that Tom was looking at this new system or the filter for the system. It was currently not 00:16:49.640 --> 00:16:54.700 running and the filter indicator light was on. After contacting the manufacturer he learned that 00:16:54.700 --> 00:17:00.980 the last recorded service was in 2020. The unit is overdue for both annual filter replacement which 00:17:00.980 --> 00:17:06.000 is annual and for a semiconductor sensor replacement required every five years. 00:17:06.520 --> 00:17:11.240 The sensor detects when filters are saturated with solvent and triggers an alarm for safety. 00:17:11.680 --> 00:17:16.880 At this time, we have ordered the filter and sensors to get the unit back up and running. 00:17:17.500 --> 00:17:24.900 And then while inspecting the air unit, they also discovered that the board was equipped with a UV disinfectant lighting system. 00:17:24.900 --> 00:17:34.720 Well, when you use the lighting system, it's done with a remote control because you can't be in the room when you turn it on as it kills all the germs and bacteria. 00:17:34.900 --> 00:17:43.480 The remote control could not be found. So Tom is on it right now trying to replace that system or the remote control. 00:17:44.080 --> 00:17:53.700 Both the air filtration system and the UV lights are critical for maintaining a safe environment, not only for the staff, but also for the personnel in the sheriff's office who work in the building. 00:17:53.700 --> 00:17:55.460 So this will clean that system 00:17:55.460 --> 00:17:57.620 So I will give kudos to Tom 00:17:57.620 --> 00:17:58.860 Since he's gotten in there 00:17:58.860 --> 00:18:01.820 He has found so many things to do 00:18:01.820 --> 00:18:04.800 You know, just making sure he understands his office 00:18:04.800 --> 00:18:06.420 He's getting after it 00:18:06.420 --> 00:18:07.940 So kudos to him 00:18:07.940 --> 00:18:09.740 And that's the end of his report 00:18:09.740 --> 00:18:16.120 All right, there's no old business 00:18:16.120 --> 00:18:19.080 Sheriff, you already did the new business 00:18:19.080 --> 00:18:19.960 You have now, you know 00:18:19.960 --> 00:18:20.840 Okay 00:18:20.840 --> 00:18:23.440 I'm just from a committee member 00:18:23.440 --> 00:18:35.420 I have a question for the chair. Moving forward, is there, who will be in charge of making sure that we get the filter changed? 00:18:36.020 --> 00:18:37.380 The coroner. 00:18:37.460 --> 00:18:41.600 Yes, he's the one that operates in the morgue. So let me give you a little background on this. 00:18:41.600 --> 00:18:45.700 Okay, but who was in charge of it the past six years? 00:18:47.380 --> 00:18:53.040 Not the sheriff's office. So when that system was put in, it was operated by the org. 00:18:53.440 --> 00:19:18.960 what we had learned, which I have no idea. I have not gone into that more. I have no reason to. I've not done any investigation. There's an alarm that goes off in there. And thank God, Tom, after all this time, said, what is that alarm? And people said, we don't know. He got into there and found out it was the filter system, that it was the filter that had been plugged. So then that's when all of this started. So he will be on top of this. 00:19:18.960 --> 00:19:48.440 but we don't have a plan B what's the plan B I don't know you told me we've spent six years we're supposed to have annual filters what's our plan B who who's going to I mean come on I mean it's an annual filter and no one's checked on it in six years there's got to be a backup plan well I think the backup plan was when that building was built I wasn't there I mean that part of the more was built I wasn't there 00:19:48.440 --> 00:19:54.200 and the corner that was there at the time that it was built, they had all that information. 00:19:54.680 --> 00:19:57.960 I'm not sure how that communication went. I'm not sure how. 00:19:57.960 --> 00:20:01.560 communication went. I'm not sure how the exit of one corner and the entrance of another one went if there 00:20:01.560 --> 00:20:07.760 was communication. So the backup plan, which isn't a backup plan, is when there's a new corner, if Tom 00:20:07.760 --> 00:20:13.120 would leave under bad circumstances, I will now at least know you're in charge of this, A, B, and C have 00:20:13.120 --> 00:20:21.020 to be done. Our offices have worked seamless since he has taken over the office. He's upstairs with me 00:20:21.020 --> 00:20:25.860 all the time. I check on him all the time. Anything that we need, we talk about cameras, 00:20:26.000 --> 00:20:32.060 evidence systems, recording systems, all the stuff that he needs for his office. So we've kind of bounced 00:20:32.060 --> 00:20:35.940 things off of each other. So we're working hand in hand. And the morgue is in the sheriff's department? 00:20:36.360 --> 00:20:42.780 The morgue is in the basement of the public safety building. The one on the corner? Yes. Okay. You 00:20:42.780 --> 00:20:47.480 have to remember there's an evidence issue there. So the corner is the only one that can go in there 00:20:47.480 --> 00:20:53.620 when there's a body in there. But the facility is located in another building. I'm just trying to 00:20:53.620 --> 00:20:59.700 And I know what you're getting at. You're making it like I'm the maintenance person of that. 00:20:59.940 --> 00:21:00.500 Somebody has. 00:21:00.500 --> 00:21:05.840 But you have to understand this. It's just like my evidence vault. Do you know I don't have access to my evidence vault? 00:21:07.260 --> 00:21:08.320 That's probably a good thing. 00:21:08.480 --> 00:21:18.320 Yes. It's the exact same thing with the morgue because the morgue is holding evidence. So I'm not responsible for what goes on in the inside of there. So I would not know how any of those things happen. 00:21:18.320 --> 00:21:32.740 The plan B is going to have to be the coroner or the deputy coroner has to understand how those systems work because even if it's beeping, I open that door, I just brought myself into a murder, suicide or whatever's in it. 00:21:33.020 --> 00:21:36.740 I know. I just feel that there should be some administrative backup somewhere. 00:21:36.920 --> 00:21:37.680 I think there is now. 00:21:39.360 --> 00:21:40.140 Mr. Josh? 00:21:40.140 --> 00:22:05.540 So I just sent George two text messages asking for, to ask, because the coroner's an elected official, if they would put together written procedures for everything in the department. So there's something in writing, so if the acting coroner does whatever, not there, someone can pick it up and look after the UV filtration system, the evidence room, who can go in, who can't. 00:22:05.540 --> 00:22:07.700 So we're going to ask 00:22:07.700 --> 00:22:16.460 The other question I was going to ask is if there's a safety committee for the public safety building, courthouse, jail, anything like that 00:22:16.460 --> 00:22:17.460 We have something similar 00:22:17.460 --> 00:22:22.240 There is one for the courthouse through the clerk, I believe, but it's courthouse only 00:22:22.240 --> 00:22:27.240 Well, and again, this is an asking, this is not telling elected officials 00:22:27.240 --> 00:22:30.060 We have that for the nursing home 00:22:30.060 --> 00:22:50.440 just a safety committee so everybody's on the same page of what could go wrong, who does what, where is this, where is that, so it's on your phone, and maybe everybody will agree, maybe, that that's the right thing to do or not, or maybe there's a better way. 00:22:50.440 --> 00:23:04.100 I think it's a start, because I was going to ask that question, you brought it up, is there anything else in there that needs to be looked at? If that hasn't been looked at, then it's got to be something else. 00:23:04.100 --> 00:23:19.460 I can't answer that question, because like I said, I've looked in the door, I don't know how the cooler works, I don't know how to turn water on, but again, that's one of those off-limits spaces, so the only people that would be able to go in there and understand how that works 00:23:19.460 --> 00:23:22.780 is going to be the coroner or the deputy coroner that go in the right corner. 00:23:23.220 --> 00:23:24.780 And that could be probably what you do. 00:23:25.000 --> 00:23:27.180 That's what your regular procedures would help us, yeah. 00:23:28.120 --> 00:23:34.420 Yeah, I think we need, you know, the sheriff's been working with the new coroner hand in hand. 00:23:35.560 --> 00:23:43.520 I think we've got to remember kind of the history of the coroner's office over the past 10 years or so. 00:23:43.520 --> 00:24:13.500 for I don't know how many years it's been it was out in Lena and really nobody had any idea what was you know lemons took care of the coroner's office and then when Tom gave that up everything moved down to the sheriff's office so we've gone through a couple different corners in a relatively short amount of time so there's pro there's you know getting these new procedures and getting him up to speed I think we need to allow 00:24:13.500 --> 00:24:18.860 give him the time to do what he needs to do in his office. I think he's on a good start. 00:24:19.720 --> 00:24:38.220 And I think you're going to see a policy come out, just like I have a policy for my evidence room. I don't go in there and I don't have a key to it. That's for liability purposes for my office. I think he's going to have to come up with the exact same thing, where he's going to have to have a policy on how things have to go, and that's going to be up to him. 00:24:38.220 --> 00:25:04.220 so that'll be the plan B is there'll be a policy in place and we've already discussed that he doesn't have a little place to turn yet because he hasn't been through the coroner's, the new coroner's training so hopefully and I've talked to him about those things that he is going to have to put a policy in place that everyone can't just walk in and out of that even a deputy court why are you going in there you don't have one of those are not your cases you shouldn't go in there. 00:25:04.220 --> 00:25:31.060 The nice thing is, I don't know that we'll have to recreate the wheel here, every county's corner's office, I think there's probably a coroner's association, a lot of this should be, it may not be specific to the equipment that we have, as you were talking about a policy, that should be very simple to obtain, and this was all thrown on me two weeks ago, I had no idea about this UV lighting system. 00:25:31.060 --> 00:25:35.090 So, can we have a question? 00:25:35.750 --> 00:25:35.990 Yes. 00:25:36.150 --> 00:25:36.590 We're here. 00:25:37.810 --> 00:25:38.610 All right. 00:25:39.550 --> 00:25:42.530 So, I will entertain a motion for adjourn. 00:25:42.530 --> 00:25:43.210 Motion. 00:25:44.170 --> 00:25:51.330 It wrote by Ms. Hayes, seconded by Oscar, I approve. 00:25:51.830 --> 00:25:52.030 Aye. 00:25:52.030 --> 00:25:52.470 Aye, damn. 00:25:54.610 --> 00:25:55.570 Oh, excuse me. 00:25:55.570 --> 00:25:57.570 This is a good chance, wasn't it? 00:25:58.290 --> 00:25:58.850 Ah, I don't know. 00:25:58.850 --> 00:25:59.270 Some power. 00:25:59.370 --> 00:25:59.650 What is it?
