All right. Would you please rise and join me in the pledge of allegiance? I allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. All right. Well, thank you. I do not see anyone in our audience today, our short meeting today, for a public for public comment. So, can I get a motion for an agenda review and adoption? So, move, Mr. Chair. Second. I have a motion by Uterman and a second by Lynch to approve the agenda. Any discussion? Seeing none, all those in favor say I. I. Those opposed. Uh it looks like Fehee makes a motion and Anderson seconds the minutes. So move for March 18th, 2025. Indeed. Indeed. Any discussion on that forced vote? Seeing none, all those in favor say I. I. I. Those opposed? Motion passes. Community announcements. If I could, Mr. Chair, I would like to uh congratulate Wakonia native Max Mcali for a third place finish in the NCAA 174 pound weight class for the golfers. Uh he's he had two losses this year and uh were both two former national champions that he tied both and then lost in overtime. He's a great future in U because he's a a freshman. He's a freshman at the UN. He's a great future ahead of him. So, really looking forward to that. And then only that continue on to u St. Joe's fish fry. Uh they have them every Friday during Lent and they are wonderful from 4 to 7 at uh St. Joe's at the school in Wakonia. Uh Commissioner Lynch, what happened to Mr. Gabe Stevenson? um he had uh teched and pinned everyone all the way up to and that's the heavyweight wrestler from uh the Gophers and then he overlooked an individual and actually got tired out and lost five to four in the finals. It uh if they ever if they ever wrestle again he won't overlook him and he'll never lose again. The only other time he'd wrestled him uh the individual from Oklahoma State. So, uh, but he did lose five to four and, uh, if they wrestle again going for the, uh, Olympics, I believe that Gable Stefson will win. I think he has a good future. He didn't need me to say that. Commissioner Fehee, thank you, Mr. Chair. I had the opportunity to attend the AMC leadership conference up in Brainard last week. I learned a few things and a few takeaways that will probably help me as we move into our strategic planning and budget process. One of the first ones was to show up consistently. Uh do your do you own the day or does the day own you? Uh learn to build peak performance routines by utilizing the vital 4%. And this strategy boosts productivity and is one of the best ways to ensure more highquality days. The other one is to communicate effectively. The next level of influence in leadership is not what you say, it's how you say it. discover the the type, the timing, the tone, and the body language that expert communicators use to delegate with empowerment, deal with difficult people, and to foster a psychology safe place for others to thrive. Uh, so those were very enlightening. And then also the guest speaker was Scott Wellie. Excuse me. He uh outperformers are not born, they're made. We all have the capacity to raise our game, said Mr. Welli. And in his bio uh he states that for fun, he's been doing multiple Iron Man triathlons. And so it's always a great feeling to be motivated by a fellow Iron Man triathlete. So I really enjoyed those couple of days up in Brainer. And then uh Commissioner Anderson and I had the pleasure to sit down with Mayor Courtney Johnson from the city of Carver uh to Gus, excuse me, to discuss a couple of things. One was the growth. The Met Council population estimate is 14,900 uh by 2050. future development, commercial, residential or commercialindustrial development, residential development. Uh the the design carver, their 2040 comp plan. We talked about long-term financial management plan that they have. They're in their second one of a 10-year plan. and then strategic action planning uh what was coming soon and an update and just a shout out to the city of Carver's team Aaron Smith Brent Merrick the city council the mayor uh Aaron Schmidt from Bolton Mink just in reviewing their comp plan the dedication the planning process the time the effort that goes unnoticed but it is appreciated and recognized and is definitely paying off for the city of Carver. Keep doing what you're you are good at. The economic development ple piece, the strategic planning, the comprehensive plans and maps. Your hard work has paid off in the past and it is paying off currently and is setting the foundation for the future of the city of Carver and Carver County. I really like their five strategic priorities. um enhance financial strength, improve operations, response development, uh their stable infrastructure systems, the sewer capacity. The city is connected to the Met Council wastewater collection and treatment system. They did that in 2010 and has the capacity to support their current needs in the master plan growth areas. And then also the focus communication is one of their strategic priorities. And the mission with the city of Carver with a foundation of community integrity and stewardship. We are committed to serving current and future residents, businesses, and organizations in the city of Carver. So I really thanked um Mayor Johnson to sit down with us and it was a great meeting. That's all I have, Mr. Chair. Great. Thank you. Uh, do you want to weigh in on Gabe Stevenson? I watched that match. I was totally shocked like everyone else. Uh, Commissioner Udman, uh, I got my tax statement in the mail as everybody else did, property tax statement, and as I do every year, I put the percentage, uh, increases and decreases and and take a look at it, um, from a pragmatic standpoint. Actually, I've talked to a handful of lawmakers to see if we could change the format so that it shows very transparently. So, I live in a house that is the average size house in Carver County or within that range. Property taxes or property value went up8%. Um, if I looked at my overall taxes just for this parcel, it went up 2.8%. And then if I did the math for the county line, um, the county line went up 3.1%. If I look at the school district line, um, actually went down close to 2%. In fact, the voter approved levy went down 8.7% on my home uh, year-over-year. The part that was a little bit concerning was the city line. The city line on mine went up 8.6% year-over-year. And I know that that's on the heels of a a five-year projection that you'll see double digit tax increases um levy year-over-year. How that fell down to my taxes. It went up 8.6%. Also, I've long had property in other communities um in uh one is in Henipin County. Um, my property valuation there went up 7.7% but they have yet to set out the tax statement as to what we can expect for taxes. And then I have a property in Iowa as well. And what's interesting about the Iowa property is they actually show tax rates. And so they show current tax rate for the city, for the county, for the school district, and in all accounts, um, the property tax rate went down year-over-year. Um, and I wouldn't exactly say Cedar App is a hotbed for growth. And so I share that to say um I I've had conversations with a lot of folks and look at the the growth and the trajection of of Carver County. We are the fastest growing county in the state. If we look at our budget uh book that's coming out, uh you'll notice that our 65 plus uh age range is growing exponentially in Carver County. Um some of that's tied to affordability or lack of affordability in Carver County. And you'll notice the up to 18 or under 18 uh demographic is plummeting in Carver County. And so, um, some of the concerns that I have as I move forward is is how does how does our community look as we're planning 2020 2050, as Commissioner Fehee said, as we're moving into our strategic direction. And so, great times ahead. Uh, a lot of energy and enthusiasm coming into those conversations this week and next. Uh, spent a good amount of time yesterday simply driving around our community, mostly in the district that I represent. Um, but I saw at least five major projects where they flipped the signs on yesterday um, to start their building construction. And I met with a number of residents and stakeholders within the area to say, "Have you been communicated well?" And almost unequivocally, people are upset because there's all these projects as we can anticipate. But everybody said that communication has been great. Maybe you could do this differently. And you talk through some of those different things. And so I just wanted to applaud Lyndon. I know about five years ago when I first got elected, one of the first things I did is I jumped in a truck with Lyndon and we went to 82nd Street, which is the road south of the arburitum. And at that time, everybody was pointing at Chaza for this road not being done. because there was a $10 million gap and darn it, Chesa is the one that's got all the things to do there. The arburitum can't contribute to it because of their their tax status. Victoria is the one that probably stands the most to gain from it and half a quarter of a half of the road uh is in their area. Um but it was a $10 million problem and I said, "Why don't we get with the state lawmakers and try and figure this out?" And so to um former Rep. Bose's credit, he he authored a bill to the credit of um current Rep. frame and and Senator Coleman, they carried that bill over the top and this week they're starting on the work on 82nd Street. And I'm like, "Wow, this is pretty cool. It's going to cause a lot of disturbances. Some people that live on the road aren't going to like it. There's going to be a lot of cars that go through there." But 6 to 8,000 people will travel through that road, many of them school-aged children and their families um to get safer and better roads to um uh to school. And so I just wanted to elevate that because there's hundreds of meetings that go into those things. Hundreds of conversations, hundreds of Facebook posts and conversations. And these are five examples within our county that are happening right now where those meetings actually led to results that are going to benefit the community and the county for um a good time to go. Last thing I wanted to say is I was watching a clip um that was circulating and it was somebody that was uh leading um the equivalent of the HHS at the federal level. Heather, I'm looking at you. I don't remember what the guy's name is, but um the quote that he said was, "The federal government has 700 HHS systems and 72, no, sorry, 27 CIOS that run it." That's crazy. 700 different systems and 27 CIOS. And so I quick sent a text and was wondering, you know, what does that look like? And it's not a whole lot different at the state level. And we've been talking about it and talking about it for 20 plus years. We've got some DOSsbased systems that date back to the 80s. Um, many of our employees are spending 75% of their time inputting things and not dealing directly with the care of our people through it's not our own fault. And so I met with a company recently that has technology that can address that. They're using AI. They're using um information and technology that can connect with people that may not look like the people that are in this room to get better results and better care and solution-based focus. And so I'll meet with them again in a couple weeks. I'll probably bring a couple folks with me to say, can we plug this in to be part of the solution for something we've been talking about for so very long about how broken the system and is how inefficient it is at a time when the federal government and the state government says we need solutions, maybe we can be that solution. So super encouraged by those conversations. If anybody's interested, I'm happy to share more. Thanks. Great. Thank you. No commentary on Gopher Wrestling. I think that Gopher wrestlers and other wrestlers make really good employees. So maybe we should encourage Max and what's the guy's name? Gabe. Um I see somebody in the back of the audience. Her kid plays wrestles a lot too. Wrestlers make really good employees. So maybe we could invite Max to come back and consider a role with the county. Thanks. Never met a bad wrestler. Commissioner Anderson. Right. No comment on wrestling. I was a former wrestling teacher, cheerleader, but that way I put a pass. Uh yeah, it's past me now. Um, Commissioner Workman and I um were able to review the progress on the off leash dog park at Minwashta uh Regional Park. This is one of the most highly used facilities in our park system. It's closed at the moment due to um some maintenance and and taking care of some ash trees. Um and like your own home, sometimes you just have to bite the bullet and um take the time and money to address these things. So, this facility will reopen on uh April 12th. If you have a well- behaved dog that gets along with other dogs, I encourage you to check it out. Um, I was also able to attend the ribbon cutting for the CAP AY's office in downtown Chesa. Um, the CAP agency assists and empowers individuals and families to achieve social and economic well-being in partnership with our community. I'm honored to serve on the board of the CAP agency as the liaison for Carver County and wanted to encourage you to attend the community fundraiser which is happening on April 10th 6 pm at the Chesa Event Center. You can purchase your tickets online and as Commissioner Fehee mentioned uh he and I were able to meet with Carver's mayor Courtney Johnson. She shared the future plans of Carver. Uh the city of Carver, as everyone said, one of the fastest growing cities in our county. Um as you know, cities are responsible for both housing and economic development. And our role is to come alongside and provide support in infrastructure as necessary. Growth is an interesting dance um uh between too fast and too slow. Um, I often say that local government is a team sport and it reminds me of one of the very first courses that I took in leadership years ago when I was in graduate school. Uh, and it really talked about the importance of followership because followership following is too often the harder task. So, um, after meeting with Mayor Johnson, seeing her plans of Carver County, knowing the talented staff and passionate, uh, city council, I'm more than confident in following her lead. And that's the end of my report. Thank you very much. Uh, that's right. You weren't going to make a comment. Um, I was going to boycott the Olympics for the rest of my life because they were toying with the idea of getting rid of Roman Greco wrestling some years ago, which I think that wrestling was like one of the first sports ever in the Olympics and not just running 27 miles. Uh but uh but anyway um it sounds like everybody was busy last week. I didn't do anything last week and that in Chad asked me call that diddly squat. I didn't do anything. Um uh like you guys I I attended checked out the tree. We checked out the pardon me. We checked out the dog park. We did. We did the be the best park. Um, and uh, Commissioner Fay, he's still going to get me out on fatty bikes out to Baylor, so I can see a little of that. I think we're around the corner from the good weather. Um, I like to play favorites, even though I love all of our parks, so I might say that Minowasha is the best. We did I did have a a role in getting that 19 acre off leash park and I think I think the number was a thousand trees were taken out of there. Um and a lot of firewood there. Um but but that was a lovely uh hour walk in the woods. Um and the only other thing I have to say is longtime resident Kurt Robinson passed away last week. He uh a huge lion with all of us. I took over the highway cleanup from him. Uh they haven't been cleaned since really for lack of good leadership. Uh he's got a funeral coming up sometime I think in June, but uh another one of those uh local Chan icons that is no longer with us and we will definitely miss him. So, okay, the consent agenda. Can I get a motion? So moved. Second. Got a motion by Anderson, a second by Fehee to approve the consent agenda. Any discussion? Seeing none, all those in favor say I. I. Those opposed? Motion passes. All right, we're in our regular session and we're going to hear from the sheriff's office on uh recognition proclamations. Chair, members of the board, I appreciate the opportunity to be here. Uh, I looking at the agenda, this should be fairly quick. Uh, Commissioner Workman has already demonstrated he has the gavl and if I get too long-winded, why he will shut me down. So, um, and because I got to weigh in on the wrestling piece, you're right, wrestlers do make good employees. I have uniforms downstairs. So, those who are helping recruit, let me know. We'll get them fitted right away and put them to work as early as Tuesday. Is it the sheriff's office singlets? Sorry. I'm just looking for a visual. We have one now. Thank you. Thank you for that. No, I you know I uh this is one of my favorite parts about being sheriff is I get to um recognize the good work that that our employees do and and call attention to it. And and that's what brings me here today is I'm I'm asking for this group to review the proclamations and assign them recognizing our employees for their dedicated service to our mutual constituents. And we'll start with the National Public Safety Telecomun Telecommunicators Week, which is April 13th through 19th. We commonly call them n 911 dispatchers. These are the first first responders. You know, uh years ago, this job was answer the phone and parrot the information from the caller out to the patrol staff or to the ambulance or fire personnel and respond. Fast forward to today, these folks are trained in providing telephonic instruction how to how to perform CPR so that the people who are making the calls can begin the life-saving efforts while the units are in route. These are people who are trained in uh quick and dirty crisis therapist kind of think of them like uh crisis paramedics, right? they're able to start the deescalation and help these folks to to deescalate situations again before the units respond. And and frankly, uh we just would not function uh as well as we do but for the work that they do on the front end. And uh we have some of the best uh dispatchers uh going and we have great technology that helps them be successful and uh and and I'm I'm grateful for it. in our office. You know, national uh administrative professionals day is April 23rd and you know there these are folks who ensure that the office runs smoothly. This office generates oodles of data and it has to be maintained and categorized and integrated with state records, county attorney uh records. It has to be shared widely and then of course it has to be retrievable uh because of need for it in the process but also data requests and all of that and it's our administrative professionals who uh hold that uh all together for us. We have National Correctional Officers Week uh May 4th through the 10th. And this I I would say that most people don't really think about uh corrections in the uh jail setting or the prison setting as a career path. Typically when people go to school for corrections, they're typically looking to go into uh probation or or you know to be a parole officer. And you forget that there are people who are staffing our our correctional detention facilities 247 365. And um they have uh tremendously positive impacts on the lives of people in in the facility. And we know that because we get letters back from past inmates who thank us and thank my team for simple things, being respectful, treating them with dignity and and helping them get on the path and navigate the criminal justice system. Um, and I'm also proud to say that there are a fair number of people who uh are of the mind that if you have to go to jail, Carver County is the place you want to do it because they treat you with respect and dignity. And um our hope is that they don't come back. But some people do for a variety of different reasons. and uh our staff um make it a tolerable thing for them, but they also keep them secure in our facility, which helps with the public safety piece. And along with that, when those people are in our care and custody, uh there's a fair number of medical issues that present themselves because when they're on the outside of the facility, they are often self-medicating. And when they're in our facility and they find sobriety, they realize there's aches and pains and unadressed medical issues that become our problem because they're in our care and custody. And we have nurses who focus on the inmate health and wellness. They prevent diseases and illnesses from running rampant through the facility. And uh so we will recognize them on May 6th as National Nurses Day. And I'm I will guess that at some point this month uh our public health folks will be here having a similar sort of discussion with you. And then lastly uh May 15th is the peace officer memorial day which is always book the the week of May 15th is national police week. Peace Officer Memorial Day is May 15th and that is the time frame uh in which we recognize those serving as uh peace officers and recognize the sacrifices of the their their work and um and their duty to serve people by safeguarding life and property and and protecting people from violence and disorder. And you know, I it's long been my belief that government's primary function is to keep its people safe. And one of the ways we do that is is with our our peace officers. And um and so during National Police Week, we will recognize them. And in on Memorial Day, of course, that's when we recognize those officer who who have uh who have fallen in the line of duty. And you might recall that in Carver County, we have had uh three uh deputies Caucus and Lura and then uh Deputy Ryman. Uh all three passed in uh in the performance of their duties over the last uh 50 years or within the past 50 years or so. And so with that, I respectfully ask that the board approve those proclamations and recognize those uh time frames u and our our employees for their contributions. Move approval, Mr. Chair. Second. I got a motion by Uterman and a second by Anderson to approve a proclamation for National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week, National Administrative Professionals Day, National Correctional Officers Week. I am not reading all of these uh resolutions. Um National Nurses Day, and then finally National Peace Officers Memorial Day. And I do have a motion. I I I think the board uh could spend the next hour talking about uh this backbone of our government um and everything. Our our deputies and jailers and nurses and administrators and 911 callers or operators um perform every day. I don't live too far from Highway 5. Um, it's a busy corridor. Um, you never know. There must have been an accident near me last night. We could talk about our all of our first responders and fire fire personnel, but uh I know when there's something up, they must have to go down Highway 5 because I can hear it. Um, but I'm usually enjoying something on Netflix when something is going on out there. Uh, so I get to do that, uh, while others are out doing what is some of the not funnest stuff going on. And I think we in Carver County do it very well. And so, thank you. Anybody else got a comment? Wrestling, Tim. Um, Netflix is fine, but how many times can you watch Snow White? The new um, you've said it, I think, the best. He said it's the absolute backbone of what we do and and if you don't believe that all the we've all watched the news where one item goes wrong and then it's front page news and it's the it and it leads on on a thing. The perfect example is when we were down at the 911 center taking a tour several years ago and a death call came in and the absolute professionalism of the 911 operators is still something I'm still impressed with today. And that's just one part of the cog in your wheel that works flawlessly. So with that, congratulations. These are all very welld deserved. Thank you. The the death did not occur because we were in the 911 center. I want to Mr. Chairman, can I make a comment? Of course. Attorney Mets. So I got a greater appreciation for what the corrections officers, the the jailers essentially did when I went through a trial in the last couple years with a very violent, dangerous person. And uh this individual had threatened to kill and find these jailers. And when I preparing for this trial, you have to meet multiple times with these employees and you really get to know them on a different level as well. The impact it had on them, but also what they did on a day-to-day basis. And it it's it really gave me a greater appreciation because it's a very difficult job. You're dealing with potentially violent people that don't want to be there obviously, but they still have to act professionally with humanity and compassion because they're not there to judge them. That's not their role. And their role is to to do their job to assist them, to help them, and they did that with a high level professionalism and care. And even going throughout this case, they still cared for this individual. they would still and and not take their frustration out on them. And what I really also saw was that they have to follow rules and procedures and policies more than probably most employees do. It's very strict and it's can be very monotonous and if you miss that, that just happens to be the day that something horrible happens if you have a a suicide in in the jail or something else or some attack or assault. because if you let your guard down, one of your colleagues could be harmed or another inmate could be harmed. And I really respected and appreciated what they did. And and obviously with the officers as well, when we as prosecutors prosecute these cases, we meet with them as well. And so we see the impact it has on them on a day-to-day basis, but they're downstairs and they voluntarily come to work. They don't get to look outside and enjoy the lake and the light. and they have their routine and it's stressful and it's intense. It's demanding and they they really do it well. And so I appreciate the opportunity to make a comment because on a personal basis I saw that that I you know from afar maybe you're not meeting with them and you don't go go to the scene and I'm watching videos, hours of videos to see the footage and you know the defense attorney is looking to see did they mistreat this person? Here's an example where you know they didn't provide the proper care. No, that wasn't the case. And they were scrutinizing that the jurors were scrutinizing that too at every step of the way. How do they treat this individual? And you know, in large part, they trusted and found those officer, you know, the corrections officers to be credible and, you know, found this individual guilty on four different cases where he threatened to to kill and harm employees from the sheriff's office. So, you know, thanks for what they do and obviously the others as well that we work with the the 911 operators that we have to rely upon in our cases as well. So, thank you, Sheriff, and for what your staff really does. Well said. Anybody else, Mr. Chair? Yeah. Thank you, Jason, to you and Pat and and your team and for everything that you do. I really like and appreciate that term, the first first responders. I haven't heard that before. So that really kind of sunk in with me because yeah, that's the front line when those calls come in. And you had mentioned about being respectful and treat people with dignity and I think that goes a long way if you can talk about our jail system with respect and dignity. That shows a lot. So keep up the great job. Thank you. I appreciate that. Commissioner, Mr. Chair, sometimes it's unstated uh that it is our top priority, public safety. We've talked about it and we don't always see you in with a level of frequency that other counties come in. That's probably a good thing because we know it's being taken care of. It's being taken care of well. I've made a priority since I got elected to do a ride along um every year and to see the front hands uh front lines. One of the first ones I did um within minutes of getting in the squad, we were zipping down the road at 90 some miles an hour to get to um some incident that was happening. And just to look at the individual, their heart rate going up and down and and how it's this profession is not just show up and have donuts and coffee like the media may portray it. It's not just social justice things. It's real things that we probably never see the truth of in a lot of different ways. I also think that you being here is a um represent. You don't have to be here. you don't have to do this and you do it every year because it's a priority. But there's some things in your leadership that have trickled down to that team that show beyond the um the statements of in these um proclamations um that you that you listen and do things and don't need the fanfare. So, I just wanted to call off a few of these and if your staff's listening, these are things that you did on their behalf that take a lot of work. Um you made a priority for mental health to not just talk about it, but do something about it. checkup from the neckup is something that uh that I've I've admired and and I think it's a big deal for the organization that sometimes it's taken for granted after you do it year-over-year. Um there was adjustments that you came and fought for for your team. Um when it came to the financial side of things when we felt like the state that law enforcement was in, it was needed um and and and earned. Um benefits, your staff and others have shared that the gap uh between maybe what we have for benefits and others. um that was that was area that was hard to recruit and retain and um these young families that they're they're putting their you know loved one in in the line of duty. Um you address those you brought those forward. Even simple things like updating their badges um to reflect so that we're not the we're not the last guy in the block. Um you've initiated in your team uh community equivalent of a touch a truck program. You don't need to do that, but you do it because you want to connect with the community because you know the community demands it and wants it and wants you to be there. I know personally that I've had a chance to connect with you and your staff on people that have had concerns that are willing to actually tackle it with a solution, not just pop it on media or or talk about the rhetoric, but actually meet with. And most recently, you'll recall that we were with somebody that had challenges as it relates to a very hot topic. And uh there was a there was a delta between, you know, perceptions and reality. And we closed that gap through relationship. You didn't need to be there. You didn't need to be bring your team. And so I just wanted to comment on a personal level on that. um that you not only do that locally, but you do it at the state level, right? You lend some of your time and energies to keep an eye on the pulse and you don't get it right every time. Um but by and large, I think I'd like to echo what you know, Commissioner Fehee, um Attorney Mets, Commissioner, uh Workman have said like we do it pretty well here and I think people can learn a lot of what's going on in Carver County. So, thanks for your service and thanks for your team service. Thank you. We appreciate all your kind words. Commissioner Anderson, we don't always need to have you go last. Uh, it's all good. I'm fine with that. I Sheriff Camude, thanks so much for being here. And I think these are these are more than just important proclamations. And I think that these um is an opportunity for the community to really understand the sacrifices being made. And um my my son served in Afghanistan with from with a Fargo police officer that once he came back he was gunned down. Jake Wallen and um sorry and the sacrifices that you make that could happen any day and and that's not lost on me that the day in and day out risk that the the people on your team our sheriff our deputies make is not lost on me. So, um, so thank you for the work you do from the bottom of my heart and for keeping our community safe because it truly is one of our top priorities. So, thank you. Thank you, Commissioner. Okay. Anything uh anything else? Sheriff, you like that today? That's enough for today. Okay. I have a motion and a second on these great proclamations. Any further discussion? Seeing none, all those in favor say I. I. Those opposed. Motion passes. Thank you very much, Sheriff. Great to see you. I still owe you lunch. We'll do with that. Uh, we're going to have a county administrative. Did you only offer to buy him lunch because he's elected and you can't buy him lunch? Well, I can buy him lunch. Well, I I know the lobbyist laws. Mr. Hemsy. Yeah, Mr. Chair, board members, just a couple calendar notes. You should have seen these come through electronically just to keep things straight. Of course, the groundbreaking this afternoon is canceled unfortunately due to weather. However, the project will go on. It's more important, right? So, we'll reschedule that. We weren't able to do that quickly. Uh we wanted to get Chan and Victoria to attend and we weren't able to do that in a short period of time. So, we'll we'll get it rescheduled within the next few weeks. Mayor Mc McMillan from Victoria was delighted that it was cancelled. She didn't think she would be happy. Yeah. Today, I think we've all been to ground breakings where you're freezing and Yeah. So, yeah, they'll they'll sh save a couple of shovels full of dirt, I'm sure. So, we we'll get that done. And again, uh I agree, Commissioner Rub and others, what what a great project. And well, you could write a case study on that one alone and how difficult it is to get these things up and running and off the ground, but good work by the variety of players. And then this Thursday, you should have received notices too on your one-on- ones with Dave Unmock, right? If not, uh, make sure you connect with Christa here. And also connect with with Christa. It'd be really nice if everybody could get your schedules to her. I know some of you u do some don't to certain degrees but it's really helpful when we're doing scheduling. So the more you can connect with her the better. And finally uh into June the summer months uh due to commissioner schedules where we proposed and and I think think we did send calendar invites too on this cancelling June 17th and instead moving that to June 24th. And just so you're not confused by the word special session, it's really a regular meeting. However, it wasn't on the calendar at the beginning of the year. So there's under law a different term, special session. So So that that meeting again was moved to June 24th. We'll couple that with the work session. And that was triggered by me. Um I have a wedding that weekend over by Green Bay. Thought it would be a great opportunity to head up to Door County again where I was last year. eat some cherry pies. Um, and then I had a discussion maybe about that. Somehow it came up with Commissioner Anderson. She said, "I got a problem then, too." So, um, if you want to fight me over that date, I didn't know if anybody else had a problem or I think we're already having the meeting on the 24th anyway. So, but it would it would be a gap. So, just so you know why. Thank you. My mother is over 90 and I make it a point to spend her birthday with her and that's it that it's that week. So I appreciate it. I would have I would have left after the meeting but this way I can spend more time with her. Excellent. Very good. That's it, Mr. Chair. Thank you. Okay. Commissioner Lynch, do you have anything to say? Uh yes, but I better wait till we adjourn. Oh, I thought you had a motion for me. Move to adjurnn, sir. I have a motion by Commissioner Lynch and a second by Commissioner Anderson to adjourn this this great meeting. Uh any discussion? Seeing none, all those in favor say I. I. I. Those opposed. Motion passes. We are adjourned.
