We do not have one from Greater Freeport Partnership. 00:02:03.770 --> 00:02:04.970 The report's attached. 00:02:07.930 --> 00:02:11.290 We'll go on to Mrs. Williams. 00:02:11.290 --> 00:02:17.770 All right, I'll make this fast. Deposit for the month of June totaled $4,938.16. 00:02:18.410 --> 00:02:25.530 Total deposits to date for the general fund are $167,653.26. 00:02:25.530 --> 00:02:33.110 sense. It was a quiet month. We received the no permit list from the assessment office. We issued 10 code 00:02:33.110 --> 00:02:38.830 violations in the month of June. Those were all for no permits. Most of them were the no permit from the 00:02:38.830 --> 00:02:45.970 no permit list. I had five of them come in today already, which was great. I should have the 00:02:45.970 --> 00:02:52.410 information from our building inspector early next week. He did go out to all four sites and take photos 00:02:52.410 --> 00:02:58.770 and write up some things so he'll have the letters to me. Nicole performed 12 inspections and I performed 00:02:58.770 --> 00:03:03.350 nine for the month. Nicole and I assisted animal control with packing, moving, and helping incoming 00:03:03.350 --> 00:03:09.730 clients during their relocation to the new facility. We have started the process once again of scanning 00:03:09.730 --> 00:03:17.050 files for property file folders to upload them into our software and I have reached out to 00:03:17.050 --> 00:03:21.650 Great Report Partnership regarding potential grant funding to support the update of the county's 00:03:21.650 --> 00:03:48.710 26-year-old land use plan. Also reached out to Ms. Newcomer, and she then included Chairman Helms to get a meeting scheduled. That's all I have. Any questions? Sounds like it's been a busy month. It was quiet, but it was busy. Yeah. Mr. Chairman? Yes, I'd like to ask a quick question. It's hard to comment. Linda Diddens is back in town. Oh, she is. Yeah. 00:03:48.710 --> 00:04:18.690 I tried to call her I know you had some indirect communication I don't know if I had to contact her or anything she paid through real estate taxes I don't expect you to know this off the top of your head but roughly do you know what the liens are how much 60,300 approximately yes do you question do you want me to 00:04:18.690 --> 00:04:20.850 to start sending out letters again. 00:04:21.010 --> 00:04:21.610 Yes, it was. 00:04:21.890 --> 00:04:22.430 I'll do that. 00:04:23.170 --> 00:04:25.570 There was just a piggyback on it. 00:04:25.610 --> 00:04:29.550 There was a car at that house out on 26 today. 00:04:29.930 --> 00:04:30.730 Windows are open. 00:04:32.090 --> 00:04:35.630 They weren't previous to about a week or so ago. 00:04:36.210 --> 00:04:39.550 I think what I'll do is post it on the door as well. 00:04:40.370 --> 00:04:41.710 If you can get to it. 00:04:42.670 --> 00:04:44.290 Put it on the garage door too, hopefully. 00:04:44.470 --> 00:04:45.570 If you can get to it. 00:04:45.870 --> 00:04:46.010 Yeah. 00:04:47.010 --> 00:04:47.450 Okay. 00:04:47.450 --> 00:04:48.090 Thank you. 00:04:48.090 --> 00:05:14.490 with some more, making a comment, piggyback on that, if you, in Silver Creek Township, there's property that she's part of that's falling apart. Linda is? Mm-hmm, the whole family, her and Lyle, her brother. Do you want to contact me tomorrow? It's on the corner of Springfield and Orchards. Okay. 00:05:14.490 --> 00:05:25.190 If you want to see the other one that they're part of, that's not in our county, but it's right on the county line, right smack in the middle of Baylorville, and stuff's just piling up around that too 00:05:25.190 --> 00:05:26.650 Oh, I know, which one you're talking about 00:05:26.650 --> 00:05:27.590 Yeah, that house, there 00:05:27.590 --> 00:05:28.470 Yeah, okay 00:05:28.470 --> 00:05:34.810 So, it's not like it's, I don't want to say it, something new 00:05:34.810 --> 00:05:44.150 Right, and the ones in the city, they're all in a mess as well, and I just don't understand why city doesn't, there's no letters on doors there, nothing, so, but 00:05:44.150 --> 00:05:47.250 I will send out those letters and post them to the property. 00:05:47.670 --> 00:05:48.170 Thank you. 00:05:48.970 --> 00:05:56.100 I did not make it to the Southern Water District meeting this month, so I won't have any comments on that. 00:05:57.000 --> 00:06:02.240 So we'll go on to 7.4, and I know Mr. Diddens has some comments on Recreation Trail. 00:06:02.240 --> 00:06:15.980 Yeah, they're working on their budget, upcoming budgets, and they would like us to commit to three years of funding $16,500. 00:06:16.480 --> 00:06:27.720 annually. We previously had an intergovernmental agreement that is no longer in effect. So, I'm not real sure how we handle that. Do we do another intergovernmental agreement? 00:06:28.600 --> 00:06:31.800 I would like to have another agreement in place before we contribute. 00:06:32.080 --> 00:06:32.360 Okay. 00:06:32.460 --> 00:06:33.540 And who makes sense? 00:06:33.760 --> 00:06:36.340 Who puts that together? Joel? 00:06:37.420 --> 00:06:42.660 No, I think the receiving party should start that process. 00:06:42.700 --> 00:06:42.920 Okay. 00:06:42.920 --> 00:06:45.800 At least give us an idea of what they're asking for. 00:06:46.040 --> 00:06:46.300 Okay. 00:06:46.480 --> 00:07:14.480 the existing agreements are a good template to use against it's not broke so why fix it kind of thing but regardless of what they send us you will look at it Carl Larson will look at it make sure it's something that we can legally enter into and that you want to enter into yeah I'm a little hesitant committing to three years you know that's well and to be fair 00:07:16.480 --> 00:07:36.540 I served in your capacity on that board previously, and maybe this is no longer the case, but previously they did want a multi-year agreement because they planned for grants to go out for a certain number of years and they have to fund those, so they want to make sure they've got the funding committed for getting into it. 00:07:37.120 --> 00:07:44.580 But again, that may be something that they would answer if you have that question specifically, why three years instead of an annual, but it's up to you guys. 00:07:44.580 --> 00:07:54.280 Steve Elbeck is supposed to come to our next meeting. He was unavailable today. He's planning on coming to next month's meeting and discussing this bill. 00:07:54.280 --> 00:08:09.960 It'd be ideal if they had proposed intergovernmental agreement to Georgia prior to that. It would be real nice since we're going to be starting the budget process in another month for her to have that, to have in front of you to consider. 00:08:09.960 --> 00:08:15.160 Okay, I'll get a hold of Steven and pass that along 00:08:15.160 --> 00:08:17.780 Yeah, we get by the end of the month, that'd be great 00:08:17.780 --> 00:08:27.260 The only other thing on the trail is Mr. Zimmer is renting out bicycles, weather permitting 00:08:27.260 --> 00:08:33.140 You have to go to his website to find out where, what location he's at on a given day 00:08:33.140 --> 00:09:02.220 He does, I think he does Chuddy Crossing and Orangeville and I think there was one out by the hotel, Block, Block, I think it was Block, I think he does those three locations and, you know, the weather's been not real cooperative for him, but he's had a lot of interest in, you know, people stopping him, so you're interested in taking an electric bike ride? 00:09:03.140 --> 00:09:33.310 Branch, Get Removed Out of West Block, It Was Shoved Up Under the Dock, I didn't want to come my way home, it's not the ideal, I think it was, but I don't know, it's terrifying, honestly, thanks, sorry, Darren, that's all I have, very good, so we'll look forward to that next month, oh, Black Hawk Hill, there is a short, oh, I'm sorry, 00:09:33.310 --> 00:09:58.530 No, we don't have a board meeting, an executive board until like the third week of this month, so I'm being up to date. I will say this, since you're getting it done, I would like to see, we received a lot of money a while back. I would like to see a housing project, and they've been talking about housing, how they've improved, and the Lord knows we have lots of vacant lots in our communities. 00:09:58.530 --> 00:10:23.000 in our community. So, you know, I don't know what we'll do, but I'm going to bring it up that maybe if there's some money to be spent, that they spend some money in our county to maybe jumpstart a housing project. It would just be good to see a new house get built in the city to go somewhere, but even where. That's my thought. That's something I'll bring up. I'll share with them. 00:10:23.000 --> 00:10:36.360 I was just going to mention there was a short little update recap attached to the agenda and I believe Mr. Pat up here next month to kind of update to a report. Dan, Pat. 00:10:36.360 --> 00:10:51.700 Oh, Pat. I didn't hear you. Thank you. Okay. I have nothing to add, so we'll move on. I don't have, we have a report from Mr. Rivers. 00:10:51.700 --> 00:11:09.480 I reached out to him. He's a little behind on the mowing, but he was dealing with some illness in the family. And I know he has some work out at the cemetery that he would like to propose and get done as well. 00:11:09.480 --> 00:11:13.540 And that's the one on the arts? 00:11:13.660 --> 00:11:14.380 Yeah, yeah. 00:11:14.380 --> 00:11:35.680 Okay, 7.8, just to point your attention to the climate security report for May, if you're having a chance to look at it, somebody would like to make a comment, Senator, Mr. Chairman, if you wanted to, okay. 00:11:35.680 --> 00:12:05.120 Again, for some Facebook posts, the company out on Lamb Road across from Anchor Harvey was hiring between about $20 an hour and $26 an hour, depending on your experience in Danfoss, Danfoss has had an ad on there too, so I know about some pretty good jobs, if you're qualified. 00:12:05.120 --> 00:12:08.780 Oh, Titan has openings? 00:12:09.900 --> 00:12:12.660 Well, Titan is sad to drive by Titan anymore. 00:12:13.480 --> 00:12:17.120 A whole lot of cars are when I go by, like at East Street. 00:12:18.720 --> 00:12:20.580 They're still making tires, I guess. 00:12:20.760 --> 00:12:21.340 Yes, they are. 00:12:21.660 --> 00:12:21.920 Good. 00:12:22.260 --> 00:12:24.660 And there's a lot of skilled labor positions available. 00:12:25.880 --> 00:12:28.840 Just have to find qualified workforce to do it. 00:12:31.190 --> 00:12:34.990 And, I mean, Furner's hiring, Snack King's hiring, 00:12:34.990 --> 00:12:40.690 So there's a lot of places that don't even need a ton of skill. 00:12:40.930 --> 00:12:41.070 Right. 00:12:41.450 --> 00:12:42.230 There's opportunity. 00:12:42.810 --> 00:12:43.070 Yes. 00:12:45.710 --> 00:12:46.530 All right. 00:12:46.710 --> 00:12:52.370 We have no other old business that I know of and no new business at this point. 00:12:53.310 --> 00:12:55.690 So I would entertain a motion to adjourn. 00:12:56.610 --> 00:12:57.210 Second. 00:12:57.650 --> 00:12:58.410 All in favor. 00:12:58.610 --> 00:12:58.910 Aye. 00:13:00.190 --> 00:13:01.150 That motion carries. 00:13:02.890 --> 00:13:03.250 Okay. 00:13:03.250 --> 00:13:08.740 in Chicago, it's hardly worth waiting for them.
