Five were transferred to rescue, or sorry, three were transferred 00:02:02.760 --> 00:02:12.080 to rescues. Four are still adoptable. Our dog intake was nine dogs, two surrendered, seven county strays. 00:02:13.180 --> 00:02:19.380 Five of those dogs are adoptable. Two were reclaimed and two went to rescue. Our current 00:02:19.380 --> 00:02:31.100 Animal Inventory is 14 adoptable cats. Two are on hold. Dogs, we have 21 adoptable, one foster, and three on hold. 00:02:32.480 --> 00:02:40.180 Two of those are Jessica Jones' court date dogs. Today we went to court. 00:02:41.460 --> 00:02:48.420 She is claiming that the Great Dane, the one that we were mainly charging her, was not her dog. 00:02:49.380 --> 00:03:13.760 There is no way we can prove it was her dog. So I asked if we could just have her at least sign the Chihuahua over. And since she's not claiming the Great Dane, then we've had it for July of 24. Nobody's reclaimed the dog. So he's ours then if she's claiming it's not hers. 00:03:13.760 --> 00:03:43.440 so she did sign the Chihuahua over so both dogs are ours now to go ahead adopt them out neuter them rescue whatever we feel fit it's not the outcome I would have liked but these dogs have been with us long enough we're not going to prolong it any longer Andrew crisis cases were also today he did get a continuance on them I don't know the date of that I believe it was June 00:03:43.760 --> 00:04:10.440 for an hour bench trial. Mary Mankey, which is the Cocker case, she somehow did not do something. I believe it might have been the mental health part of the case. So that's back in court 512. She's been paying and I don't think she has more than two dogs. So that's the only thing I can think of that was part of her order was the mental health. 00:04:13.760 --> 00:04:19.600 Other things, unfortunately, I was in an accident with the work van. We're still waiting on insurance. 00:04:20.300 --> 00:04:40.200 However, Bakker Auto Group donated a 2007 uplander van with 94,000 miles on it. 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. 00:04:40.200 --> 00:05:09.940 it's running good perfect it's basically the same as the old van little longer front and I gotta get used to but no it's running really good I'm very thankful for Delbert and his group for doing that otherwise in the front of your pack I this check came in yesterday yesterday I had Stephanie look into it because of the amount and it's a legit 00:05:09.940 --> 00:05:18.800 tracking number. And so that went in the bank yesterday. We're going to give it a 30-day grace to make sure it's all legit. 00:05:19.320 --> 00:05:20.000 Where's it from? 00:05:21.820 --> 00:05:25.600 I don't think you've got that. I don't know if I sent you the copy of it or not. 00:05:27.200 --> 00:05:36.000 So we did some research. There is an 80-year-old woman with that name in Pecatonica, and I think that's probably where it came from. 00:05:36.000 --> 00:05:43.120 I'm going to send her a letter to thank her, hopefully it's, if it's not her, she'll obviously 00:05:43.120 --> 00:05:48.700 say it's not her, but just because there's no way else to thank her, and I'd like to thank 00:05:48.700 --> 00:06:02.580 her for that donation, that was very generous, and will help a lot, 14,890, yeah, so a whole bunch 00:06:02.580 --> 00:06:12.640 things are going to get made. Yes. I'm like, let's see. She could have a whole room. I'm thinking a bench 00:06:12.640 --> 00:06:20.700 outside. Nice. If I figure out it's her, yes, I'm going to ask her what she would like. Yeah. Seriously. 00:06:21.060 --> 00:06:26.260 Yeah. Cause I like maybe the isolation room could have a nice, whatever. She wants to dedicate it to 00:06:26.260 --> 00:06:56.260 one of her past animals type thing so I really want to find her and hopefully that's her impact I'm thinking it is because that name is in this area so Emmett I don't know that's it for that plans were the usual and an oil change on the old man because is it total oh 00:06:56.260 --> 00:06:56.600 Oh, yeah. 00:06:56.780 --> 00:07:01.660 It had $234,000 for decoys, so. 00:07:01.940 --> 00:07:02.380 Yeah. 00:07:02.560 --> 00:07:05.520 I didn't, you said, we haven't got any official word, but. 00:07:05.540 --> 00:07:09.480 I don't think that Jogerst would have been out to it, but it's rest in pieces. 00:07:10.560 --> 00:07:13.280 I thought maybe, you know, you just scraped something. 00:07:13.480 --> 00:07:14.720 No, no. 00:07:14.860 --> 00:07:15.220 Got it. 00:07:15.340 --> 00:07:15.900 Tickets issued? 00:07:16.460 --> 00:07:16.760 What? 00:07:16.980 --> 00:07:17.700 Tickets issued? 00:07:18.040 --> 00:07:18.920 Yes, I got a ticket. 00:07:19.280 --> 00:07:22.040 So what was it that you were ticketed for? 00:07:22.040 --> 00:07:35.360 um failure to reduce speed um failure to reduce speed or failure yeah I think failure to reduce speed or 00:07:35.360 --> 00:07:41.940 avoid an accident something like that it was my fault I had a coughing at coughing fit and by the 00:07:41.940 --> 00:07:48.700 time I realized they were stopped ahead of me there was not enough time to stop I I tried I floored the 00:07:48.700 --> 00:07:59.720 breaks. I meant there was no time. I was crushed. I got out of the van, hobbled to the lady, and she was fine. 00:07:59.720 --> 00:08:10.020 What? No, no. I had airbag related. I went to urgent care. Georgia told me to go there. Just, you know. 00:08:10.940 --> 00:08:18.620 Post-expo. Yeah. And I learned from the airbags, but otherwise sore, obviously. But and I called 00:08:18.620 --> 00:08:47.980 the lady that was in the accident with me and she was fine and I called her like I think two days later and she was doing fine and so unfortunately trust me that's the last thing I want to happen. My record was beautiful. Anyways yeah so I met we got a van and got it licensed went to Mary's and got it licensed and it's insured and everything's good on it. 00:08:48.620 --> 00:09:12.740 Um, tires looked good. Um, this is a question, I guess. Okay, we pulled the seats out. 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, because that's going to get totaled and taken away. So why not? But I didn't know. It was donated. 00:09:12.740 --> 00:09:14.000 Don't ask, don't tell 00:09:14.000 --> 00:09:14.440 Okay 00:09:14.440 --> 00:09:18.440 Who's going to ever use them? 00:09:22.100 --> 00:09:23.400 It's your new bench 00:09:23.400 --> 00:09:28.600 Yeah, thank you 00:09:28.600 --> 00:09:29.860 You're in a trailer 00:09:29.860 --> 00:09:33.800 No, that's all right 00:09:33.800 --> 00:09:38.660 I was thinking somebody had mentioned one of the bars, bobbers 00:09:38.660 --> 00:09:40.100 uses old seats, I'm like 00:09:40.100 --> 00:10:00.000 I say we just go away. Anyways, the weekly intakes, like I said, the pickups, we really haven't been getting, I've been picking up dogs, they just haven't been getting reclaimed, unfortunately, we've had a lot of dumb thoughts. 00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:27.280 He's had a lot of dumb dogs. I think the one day end of the month, I picked up three dogs in one day, one cat for a bite order, and nobody's coming to get these dogs. They're just, I don't know. Springtime, we usually pick up on pickups, but they also get picked up by their owners. So I don't, people are just in a rough spot that they just can't afford them anymore. 00:10:28.000 --> 00:10:34.080 So you've got about 35 animals right now, 14 cats, 21 dogs? 00:10:35.280 --> 00:10:37.700 Yeah, as of this report, it's gone down. 00:10:38.320 --> 00:10:44.900 So what capacity do you have? I mean, at what point do you no longer take the animal? 00:10:45.700 --> 00:10:50.240 We're no longer taking dogs right now, other than strays, our strays, our county strays. 00:10:50.600 --> 00:10:52.860 So what's your total capacity right now? 00:10:52.860 --> 00:11:20.330 We're at it right now with, I would say, 25 dogs. Yeah. 25 dogs, 14 cats, 15 cats. We could do more cats, but 25 dogs is the highest we can go. So how many cats can you take? If you can not take more than 25 dogs, how many cats can you take? Probably about the same. 00:11:20.330 --> 00:11:23.590 Okay, so 50 animals, give or take? 00:11:23.950 --> 00:11:24.310 Yeah, probably. 00:11:26.250 --> 00:11:26.990 Thank you. 00:11:28.230 --> 00:11:38.570 But on the cats we have, we have, I think, there's actually not even 14 cats right now. 00:11:39.390 --> 00:11:47.270 We have four kittens, four kittens, an adult cat going to Anderson Humane Society on Saturday, 00:11:47.270 --> 00:12:17.250 and I think three cats going to Iowa County Humane Society on Saturday so we just the cats we can move out dogs I 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 what am I supposed to do I'm like I don't know we can't take anymore and I and if we don't have room we can't take them I 00:12:17.250 --> 00:12:19.610 Okay. Where are you taking the other ends? 00:12:19.950 --> 00:12:29.850 Iowa County, which is Dodgeville, Wisconsin, is taking three cats, and then Anderson, Cumaine is in Elgin. 00:12:30.210 --> 00:12:31.390 They're coming to get them? 00:12:32.450 --> 00:12:36.350 There's transports going that way from other shelters. 00:12:36.570 --> 00:12:38.370 Okay, so they're coming, picking them up? 00:12:38.370 --> 00:12:38.530 Yeah. 00:12:38.930 --> 00:12:39.810 They're not delivering? 00:12:39.910 --> 00:12:40.130 No. 00:12:40.130 --> 00:12:40.650 Okay. 00:12:40.970 --> 00:12:41.310 Thank you. 00:12:42.550 --> 00:12:51.930 Any questions on the weekly? 00:12:53.490 --> 00:13:17.020 And then Meadows Drive really didn't change a whole lot. I did have L.A. Taxes do a $2.50 check for the cat condo price, but she says whatever. She doesn't really care. She just did the $2.50, so she doesn't care what it owes to. 00:13:20.580 --> 00:13:22.540 Any other questions, guys? 00:13:26.590 --> 00:13:27.810 Is there anyone else? 00:13:28.230 --> 00:13:35.650 That's good. Okay. Thank you. Thank you. All right. Well, we'll go ahead and do our highway reports. Thank you. 00:13:36.430 --> 00:13:49.250 Well, that's got to go first. On the last month, I guess it started out, I think, after our last meeting, and we ended up, well, I think for three days. That's most of them after we, that next week. 00:13:49.250 --> 00:14:18.910 And then, since then, we've been cleaning curb and gutters in some of the smaller towns where we maintain them, working on shoulders, patching potholes, started sweeping intersections this week, and we did do some cutting brush with the boom mower, cleaned up some downed trees from high winds, and started maintenance on the, or taking plows off, 00:14:18.910 --> 00:14:23.070 paint in the front of them to get the trucks ready for some of the work. 00:14:27.500 --> 00:14:28.580 I have information. 00:14:29.980 --> 00:14:30.740 All right. 00:14:31.580 --> 00:14:31.860 Good. 00:14:32.380 --> 00:14:35.440 You got the hiring department updates in front of you. 00:14:35.540 --> 00:14:39.400 I've highlighted our construction work that has changed since the last meeting. 00:14:40.060 --> 00:14:44.180 I'm still waiting for a landing date for the Citaville and Dakota Road project. 00:14:44.900 --> 00:14:49.100 We executed a joint agreement on February 19th. 00:14:49.100 --> 00:14:50.040 It's down in Springfield. 00:14:50.040 --> 00:15:19.700 and on a desk waiting for them to fully execute it so we can let the project and I've been on the district and just say they're waiting for, they're waiting to sign a bunch of them so I don't know what that means 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 filled up reclamation jobs so I 00:15:19.700 --> 00:15:46.560 and we'll get better bids if we get them both at the same time. The West Point Bridge was let earlier this week and then we got a second one. The preliminary plans were submitted and we're going to have another late spring letting for that project. So I can't let them at the same time because they're in the same road. We have to open up the one before we can let the open up the other one. Otherwise, we'll landlock somebody. 00:15:46.560 --> 00:16:14.060 So, monthly or yearly overweight permits, right now the only permit process we have is a per-use permit, and it hasn't been a problem to date until we got a phone call this week from a safe place about somebody who's an overweight hauler hauling raw milk products to, again, two trips a day, six days a week, he's hauling $110,000 to $120,000. 00:16:14.060 --> 00:16:43.980 He just called, he had, the state cop had stopped in earlier, late last year at one point, which is kind of curious on the permit process, because he stopped a trucker, a bill caller, and said that there's, they're hauling two times a day, six days a week, and when they're loaded, they're about $110,000, $120,000. 00:16:44.060 --> 00:17:03.700 Council. 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. 00:17:03.700 --> 00:17:22.880 And then he came in earlier and brought in the permit that they get from the state, which is $1,000 a year per truck, and it's supposed to be only on highway or state roads, not local roads. 00:17:22.880 --> 00:17:51.960 and so I contact I went off the permit so I contacted that but it's TIA um 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 roads that doesn't include the local roads and he's like so then he replied to that he's like after more looking into it you're I was incorrect 00:17:51.960 --> 00:18:21.220 it doesn't it's not included in the price because he thought it was if you're delivering within so far of a state road it's included on the permit it's in full type on the state permit says this does not include local roads you have to contact local authorities and they just a lot of them they just ignore it they think it's good yeah yeah so I guess the question is do we want to do go through trying to set up a monthly yearly 00:18:21.220 --> 00:18:51.220 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 and if we're I guess if we're going to do this for a non-local contractor do we do it for local contractors and so and that size of a load is $300 00:18:51.220 --> 00:18:59.880 and realistically that doesn't cover the damage that it's probably doing to the road. 00:18:59.880 --> 00:19:03.420 And you're saying $3,000 a year? 00:19:03.800 --> 00:19:06.500 No, no, no, for a year, for two a day. 00:19:07.160 --> 00:19:20.880 And he's been, I mean, he's got, and the state cop basically said when he was talking to this, this trucker, there was another one that was coming through and they were going on $20,000. 00:19:20.880 --> 00:19:50.280 and I'm assuming they go 20 to Kent on Kent and this one was coming off a 73 going on Dublin so this company is just doing it twice a day, six days a week. What's that? Was that contract particular? No, I don't know. I think that's $3,600 a week. So how did they know? Because the officers spoke with them, like talked to them, like they pulled them over and just gave them a warning. 00:19:50.280 --> 00:19:53.680 So he gave that information voluntarily, he didn't have to weigh the truck 00:19:53.680 --> 00:19:57.980 Yeah, I mean, like, the permit that was sent that they had 00:19:57.980 --> 00:20:03.740 was sent that they had said it was like 110,000 pounds or whatever, but the guy, the officer 00:20:03.740 --> 00:20:09.100 told me that the guy basically said he was found 104 to 110,000 pounds. 00:20:10.620 --> 00:20:15.700 So it's like three truckloads instead of him doing it twice, they need to be like having a truck. 00:20:17.420 --> 00:20:23.720 And realistically, I mean, like the town Dublin and Canada, I mean, those are 80,000 pounds, 00:20:23.720 --> 00:20:31.160 but 473, 280, 73, 280, so they're not designed to handle that 110,000, 120,000 pounds. 00:20:31.420 --> 00:20:37.200 And you're fermenting local companies know that they have to get permits. 00:20:37.200 --> 00:20:51.040 Yeah, so when fishery asks for a permit, we give them for use permits, so every time he hauls, he gets a permit, so, but this is kind of an unusual situation where he makes 12 permits per week. 00:20:51.040 --> 00:20:56.300 and he hasn't, he's gotten one permit and he hasn't gotten anything else. 00:20:56.300 --> 00:20:57.580 And then he cuts his load down. 00:20:58.320 --> 00:21:04.060 Well, that's the other option is just don't go away. 00:21:04.180 --> 00:21:07.180 And how do you monitor this? 00:21:07.640 --> 00:21:10.980 Are you sticking at the wrong saying, okay, you can't go over there? 00:21:12.440 --> 00:21:14.860 That comes down to an enforcement. 00:21:15.080 --> 00:21:16.180 That's the sheriff's office. 00:21:16.180 --> 00:21:18.860 Now we have, we have the scales. 00:21:18.860 --> 00:21:22.260 Yeah, we have the scale for it 00:21:22.260 --> 00:21:28.880 Do you anticipate that there are many other companies that are doing the same thing 00:21:28.880 --> 00:21:32.220 and you need a new permit? 00:21:32.680 --> 00:21:34.240 I have no idea 00:21:34.240 --> 00:21:37.400 There might be other ones doing the same thing 00:21:37.400 --> 00:21:42.520 What happens when they get a state permit 00:21:42.520 --> 00:21:47.140 I'll get, like, not these yearly ones, I don't get notification for this 00:21:47.140 --> 00:22:17.120 but 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 permit three times out of 10 maybe they'll get a permit but realistically we have no I can't we can't enforce it. 00:22:17.140 --> 00:22:24.540 So you can't drive this road without giving a permit Until they get caught 00:22:24.540 --> 00:22:30.360 And even then, I don't know if they'll give a ticket if they get caught 00:22:30.360 --> 00:22:34.000 I mean, this contractor got caught and he still has it twice 00:22:34.000 --> 00:22:36.040 And he still hasn't gotten the ticket 00:22:36.040 --> 00:22:40.560 So you said the sheriff, in my understanding, can enforce this 00:22:40.560 --> 00:22:43.000 So does the sheriff write overweight tickets? 00:22:43.000 --> 00:22:45.120 Sheriff can write them, state police can write them 00:22:45.120 --> 00:22:50.240 They can ride them, but didn't ride this guy. They did, but they have in the past. 00:22:50.500 --> 00:22:53.630 Two separate issues, though, right? 00:22:53.890 --> 00:22:54.390 It is. 00:22:54.730 --> 00:22:54.810 Right. 00:22:54.910 --> 00:23:04.890 So we definitely do not want overweight trucks on our roads, and roads are bad enough as they are severely underfunded to repair. 00:23:06.330 --> 00:23:14.150 My personal opinion is absolutely there needs to be permits because you're trying to get people to not do what they're doing. 00:23:14.150 --> 00:23:30.810 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, for two separate issues. 00:23:30.810 --> 00:23:46.910 Well, so if I'm understanding correctly, 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? 00:23:48.130 --> 00:23:59.290 Correct. I mean, in reality, he'd have to get 12 permits per week at $300 a pop, so $3,600. 00:23:59.290 --> 00:24:29.050 would be so he won't do it because his state permit is a thousand. So he'll just have to hold 80,000 pounds, which is what we are. Right. We want to make money off of this. I'm going to keep keep the policy as it is. But I just want to I I want to see your feelings on what what to do with it. Leaving it alone. Can I just say leaving it alone seemed to be more of a honest 00:24:29.050 --> 00:24:38.350 to make a new right if we can then talk to our public safety about doing a few checks to put some pressure on. 00:24:38.730 --> 00:24:46.590 That's not putting any pressure on by making the yearly, but we can talk to our other department about doing a few courtesy checks. 00:24:46.990 --> 00:24:53.810 That might help them to put that other truck in play, like you said, because they need to be having another loan. 00:24:54.110 --> 00:24:57.590 Senator Weatherford saying we're going to enforce this or something. 00:24:57.590 --> 00:25:00.190 from the cheese factory. 00:25:02.010 --> 00:25:03.010 That would do it. 00:25:03.330 --> 00:25:04.230 Yeah, 100%. 00:25:04.230 --> 00:25:04.570 Yep. 00:25:06.290 --> 00:25:09.590 And actually, even the state police have been very cooperative ones. 00:25:09.890 --> 00:25:14.470 If we've let them know that somebody's running overloaded, they'll get out there and check it. 00:25:14.670 --> 00:25:15.950 They'll need a couple tickets. 00:25:16.270 --> 00:25:16.530 Yeah. 00:25:16.790 --> 00:25:18.070 It's not going to take much. 00:25:18.130 --> 00:25:20.390 We could probably send a letter to the cheese tab. 00:25:20.530 --> 00:25:22.430 He said, listen, we're going to start sticking to your guy. 00:25:22.550 --> 00:25:23.210 They'll care. 00:25:23.590 --> 00:25:24.010 They don't care. 00:25:24.010 --> 00:25:24.610 You think much? 00:25:24.970 --> 00:25:27.410 I think the driver's going to get tickets on. 00:25:27.410 --> 00:25:31.250 getting a trucker's license and his insurance for the tickets. 00:25:31.830 --> 00:25:33.750 So that's their livelihood. 00:25:34.490 --> 00:25:41.610 There was a super load that went through my guy Township and Sheriff stated to the police, 00:25:42.390 --> 00:25:47.330 flew him over, and I got a phone call from the trucking company the next day asking if there's 00:25:47.330 --> 00:25:52.810 anything I can do about his $30,000 ticket because he was running $190,000. 00:25:52.810 --> 00:25:54.710 I think it was like $250,000. 00:25:55.030 --> 00:25:55.370 Was it? 00:25:55.530 --> 00:25:56.670 Yeah, I think it was like $2,000. 00:25:56.670 --> 00:26:18.130 and I think there's a couple of them, yeah, I think there was one that had already gone through the township and this one actually got stuck, yeah, so there was multiple, it wasn't just that long, yeah, oh, wow, and these guys know what they're doing, they do, they try to pull their, say, oh, I didn't know it, they both print, they know, 00:26:18.130 --> 00:26:42.490 or we can bring it up to what we can do here, right? I think the policy probably checks out. And again, the inconvenience of it is more the incentive than anything else. You don't want that continuously going across and flows and, you know, all right. 00:26:42.490 --> 00:26:46.390 Okay, BID tabs, I think you've got those in your packet. 00:26:47.090 --> 00:26:51.250 We had a lending for the first West Point Bouncy Bridge. 00:26:51.250 --> 00:26:53.930 We had one, two, three, five bidders. 00:26:54.630 --> 00:27:01.830 A low bid was $650,000, $55,430, which is about 3% over the engineer's estimate. 00:27:02.110 --> 00:27:04.530 So it's within 5%. 00:27:04.530 --> 00:27:07.350 It's a lot of cost. 00:27:08.510 --> 00:27:11.030 And so we had some good bids for that bridge. 00:27:11.030 --> 00:27:30.210 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, is awardable. 00:27:33.630 --> 00:27:39.610 Last thing was the good news for the county, we received a rural and tribal assistance grant. 00:27:41.030 --> 00:27:50.630 for $523,915. That was for preliminary engineering for the roundabout at Seville Road and Galena Road. 00:27:51.510 --> 00:28:00.630 The grant is only for preliminary engineering work. It was one of 50 projects awarded in the country, 00:28:01.510 --> 00:28:07.190 and there were two in the state of Illinois. Boone County got one for some bridge-bundling project, 00:28:07.190 --> 00:28:37.030 and we got artists for roundabout and it's 100% funding so it'll cover all of the phase one, phase two for the design of a new roundabout so then and this is a federal fund so that takes about two years so for FYA 2028 we'll pursue safety funds for for the construction of it um HSIP loves the federal federal 00:28:37.030 --> 00:29:06.490 Both safety funds love roundabouts. So that's what we'll have a good shot at. The estimate, I think it's inflated, but the preliminary engineering, the estimate was for the exact amount for construction, the roundabout, 3.4 million. So I think it'll come in a little bit less than that, but I've got an engineer's estimate for the construction. 00:29:07.030 --> 00:29:14.310 So somewhere around 2028, we'll try to get funds to the builders. 00:29:14.710 --> 00:29:17.410 So everything's moving pretty good along for that. 00:29:17.610 --> 00:29:19.150 So I'm going to say probably 12 of the states? 00:29:19.690 --> 00:29:23.470 No, it's Belita Road and Cedarville Road. 00:29:24.590 --> 00:29:29.310 It's a kind of a skewed intersection and we run into wetlands. 00:29:29.310 --> 00:29:35.530 So it looks like around the bottom is most feasible alternative for that because you have to try to fit at feet, 00:29:35.530 --> 00:29:46.050 Stay away from the solar farm, the railroad tracks, the wetlands, the storage place right 00:29:46.050 --> 00:29:51.470 there, so, and there's a tall power pole right there, too. 00:29:54.660 --> 00:29:56.640 I think 00:29:56.640 --> 00:29:59.260 I think that's it 00:29:59.260 --> 00:30:00.660 Yep, that's it 00:30:00.660 --> 00:30:02.380 Any questions for 00:30:02.380 --> 00:30:03.460 Daniel 00:30:03.460 --> 00:30:10.150 To our budget report 00:30:10.150 --> 00:30:12.810 Everything's looking good 00:30:12.810 --> 00:30:14.870 We haven't gotten into the construction season yet 00:30:14.870 --> 00:30:15.790 So 00:30:15.790 --> 00:30:18.570 Everything's on line 00:30:18.570 --> 00:30:20.530 With that so far 00:30:20.530 --> 00:30:20.990 So 00:30:20.990 --> 00:30:23.810 Unless anybody else sees anything 00:30:23.810 --> 00:30:24.410 That there's 00:30:24.410 --> 00:30:33.280 with all of a sudden construction season hasn't really started yet, so we're all. 00:30:34.280 --> 00:30:35.540 Thank you. 00:30:36.140 --> 00:30:37.420 Thank you. 00:30:38.600 --> 00:30:50.260 We're all business, so we'll move to 8.0 new business, and 8.1 is HD 26.06, the other one. 00:30:50.260 --> 00:31:08.040 Yeah, this is at West Point Township Bridge, it's a township, it's a TBP project, and so that's 80-20 funding, and now it's 100% now, 100%, yeah, so 00:31:08.040 --> 00:31:09.480 Engineering is 00:31:09.480 --> 00:31:11.600 Engineering is 80-10-10 00:31:11.600 --> 00:31:13.020 What construction is 00:31:13.020 --> 00:31:20.200 Construction is 100%, so 655,000 is low bidder, current construction is 00:31:20.200 --> 00:31:27.850 the contractor, and they've done work for it before, and they do a good job, so I recommend 00:31:27.850 --> 00:31:28.550 awarding it. 00:31:30.390 --> 00:31:32.950 Let me make a motion to approve. 00:31:33.130 --> 00:31:40.350 Opposed by Larry, seconded by Marlowe, all in favor say aye, aye. 00:31:40.550 --> 00:31:41.250 Any opposed? 00:31:42.570 --> 00:31:42.850 All right. 00:31:42.990 --> 00:31:43.130 Good. 00:31:43.850 --> 00:31:44.790 Sounding open. 00:31:45.250 --> 00:33:07.070 If you want to try to give additional information. 00:33:07.610 --> 00:33:07.930 I'm good. 00:33:08.570 --> 00:33:29.380 Steve, so Steve, I wanted to approve all the bids for the kennels, and if it's all, it's a picture, information, cheerleaders, kennels. 00:33:29.380 --> 00:33:39.820 Oh, sorry. So, we only got one bid that came in, and actually, I compared it to the company I was originally looking at, 00:33:39.820 --> 00:33:47.960 and they are actually under that company by the fact that the amount they quoted us was with shipping 00:33:47.960 --> 00:33:56.020 and the amount that I was looking at the other place was $16,000 without shipping. 00:33:56.940 --> 00:34:02.860 So I had three companies contact me, only one sent the bed bill. 00:34:02.860 --> 00:34:32.680 and this company actually works with government animal controls so they know you know what the kennels need to be they have everything that the other kennels were going to have in it including like the bulls that swivel in that way you don't have to you can feed without actually going into the kennels the special anti-fight design so the dogs aren't fence fighting 00:34:32.860 --> 00:34:49.820 Yeah, so I did send them a diagram to all three companies that reached out of the terminals we were kind of looking at, and so they had kind of an idea of what we were looking for. 00:34:53.580 --> 00:35:06.910 They're based out of Texas.
