I CALLED THE JULY 19TH, 2022 MEETING TO ORDER, AND IF EVERYONE WOULD STAND FOR THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE, PLEASE, THE FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA PUBLIC, FOR WHICH IT STANDS ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL.

UM, ORDER IS TO ADOPT THE AGENDA.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

AND THANK YOU ALL FOR COMING OUT THIS EVENING.

FIRST,

[B. Adoption of Agenda – Additions or Deletions]

ARE THERE ANY ADDITIONS OR DELETIONS? UM, YES.

MA'AM.

I LIKE TO ADD AND HEAR ME.

I LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO ADD THE APPROVAL OF THE FRONT ROYAL SKYDIVING

[00:05:01]

OPERATION AT THE FRONT ROW WARREN COUNTY AIRPORT TO THE CONSENT AGENDA.

ARE THERE ANY OTHER ADDITIONS OR DELETIONS MR. HAM? YES.

LIKE TO ADD TO NUMBER K THREE, SECTION 2.2 37, 11 A SEVEN AND EIGHT CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL REGARDING VARIOUS MATTERS, INCLUDING LITIGATION.

ARE THERE ANY OTHER ADDITIONS OR DELETIONS AT THIS TIME? IS THERE A MOTION TO, YES, SIR.

I WOULD ALSO SUGGEST ITEM J 10 IS, UM, A INCENTIVE PAY FOR, UH, ADVANCED LIFE-SAVING AND THE VIRGINIA CODE PROVIDES THAT ANY BONUS NEEDS TO BE DONE BY ORDINANCE AND IN VIRGINIA COUNTY CAN ONLY DO AN ORDINANCE AFTER PUBLIC NOTICE ONCE A WEEK FOR TWO WEEKS.

SO YOU CAN DO THIS, BUT IT'S GOTTA BE IN THE FORM OF AN ORDINANCE FOLLOWING PUBLIC NOTICE.

AND I WAS JUST LOOKING AT THE CALENDAR AND THERE WOULD BE TIME TO GET IT IN THE PAPER FOR YOUR AUGUST 2ND MEETING.

SO YOU COULD REMOVE IT FROM TONIGHT'S AGENDA AT THIS POINT, IF YOU WANT TO, OR YOU COULD DEAL WITH IT LATER ON IN YOUR MEETING.

UM, REMOVE ANY OTHER ITEMS. OKAY.

I DO J 13 MALES.

WE WOULD ASK TO REMOVE THAT.

SO WE HAVE THE ADDITION OF THE SKYDIVING FOR THE AIRPORT AND THE REMOVAL OF J 10 AND J 13.

IS THERE A MOTION TO AMEND THE AGENDA WITH THOSE ITEMS? AND I'M SORRY.

AND WE ALSO INCLUDING K THREE REGARDING THE CLOSE MEETINGS AND THE SKYDIVE FROM RURAL.

IS THAT GOING TO BE J 15 ON THE CONSENT AGENDA? THAT'S CORRECT.

CAN I ASK A QUESTION? IS IT NECESSARY FOR THE BOARD TO APPROVE A BUSINESS AT THE AIRPORT? AND IF SO, WHAT AUTHORITY IS THAT APPROVAL UNDER? WE'VE NEVER DONE THAT BEFORE.

I DON'T KNOW.

JUST GOT THIS RECENTLY.

SO BETTER TO APPROVE THE, NOT TO APPROVE, I GUESS.

UM, THERE ARE WITH THERE'S A BUSINESS OUT THERE, THIS OPERATING, NOT SOMEBODY WHO'S JUST PRIVATE, A PRIVATE COMPANY WHO JUST HAS A PLANE OR SOMETHING AND RENTS A HANGER.

BUT IF YOU HAVE A BUSINESS OPERATING THERE, THEN IT'S USUALLY APPROVED BY THE GOVERNING BODY TO YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE THIS ACTIVITY IS COMPANY AT YOUR AIRPORT.

OF A RESOLUTION SPECIAL RECOGNITION OF REGINALD REGGIE CAZENA HALL.

SO IS THERE A MOTION TO AMEND THE AGENDA WITH THOSE FOUR ITEMS? IS THERE A SECOND, SECOND ROW CALL MRS. SHIRAKI MR. MABE, MRS. COOK.

[C. Adoption of Resolution re: Special Recognition of Reginald “Reggie” Cassagnol]

AND WHEREAS REGIONAL CASANOVA WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE AIRPORT OPERATIONS, MANAGING HANGAR TENANTS RECORD RECORD, KEEPING MANAGING MULTIPLE AVIATION SERVICES, BUILDINGS, GROUNDS MAINTENANCE, AND EXCELLENT COMMUNICATION WITH THE AVIATION COMMUNITY, AS WELL AS THE FRONT ROW AND WARREN COUNTY COMMUNITY.

AND WHEREAS REGIONAL CAST AND ALL SERVE THE AIRPORT COMMISSION, THE WARREN COUNTY, THE COUNTY OF WARREN AND THE FRONT RURAL WARREN COUNTY COMMUNITY EQUALLY WHILE FOSTERING A PASSION OF ALL THINGS, AVIATION AND A CURIOSITY FOR ADVENTURE.

THAT IS A MANTRA OF THE FRONT WORLD, WARREN COUNTY, AIRPORT, AND WARREN COUNTY AIRPORT COMMISSION.

AND WHEREAS REGIONAL CASANOVA RETIRED AS THE AIRPORT MANAGER OF THE FRONT ROAD, WARREN COUNTY AIRPORT IN 2020.

AND NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT THE WARREN COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS IS .

IS THERE A SECOND, SECOND? WE HAVE PLENTY OF SECONDS.

ROLL CALL MRS. SHIRAKI MR. BUTLER, MRS. OATES.

I MADAM CHAIR.

I MRS. COOK I MR. MABE AND THANK YOU FOR EVERYONE THAT CAME OUT TONIGHT IN HONOR OF HIM.

WE, WE APPRECIATE YOUR ATTENDANCE.

PUBLIC COMMENT PERIODS, 60 MINUTE PERIOD OF TIME WHERE THE SPEAKERS.

UH, I APPRECIATE YOUR, UH, DONATION.

UH, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR, WELL, THANK YOU FOR SHARING HIM WITH US FOR ALL THESE YEARS.

WE APPRECIATE THAT.

WOULD ANYONE ELSE? I, I APOLOGIZE.

I DIDN'T REALIZE YOU WERE THERE.

YOU'RE ON THERE.

MY PERIPHERAL.

UM, WOULD ANYONE ELSE THAT'S THERE LIKE TO SAY ANYTHING? YES.

MA'AM THANK YOU.

PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD IS A 60 MINUTE TIME PERIOD.

UH, THE

[D. Public Comment Period (60 Minute Time Limit)]

PEOPLE GET THREE MINUTES TO SPEAK ON AND WE DON'T HAVE ANY PUBLIC HEARINGS TONIGHT, UM, ON ITEMS THAT ARE NOT PART OF A PUBLIC HEARING, BE COURTEOUS.

THERE SHOULD BE NO BOOING, APPLAUDING OR PUBLIC DISPLAY OF, UM, POSTERS OR THAT KIND OF THING.

AND MS. SHIRAKI HAS ANYONE SIGNED UP TO SPEAK? YES.

MADAM CHAIR, MELISSA CHAPPELL, WHITE.

AND AS YOU KNOW, YOU NAME AN ADDRESS FOR YOU, HUH? I'M GOING TO TRY TO REMEMBER THAT AND I'M EVEN GOING TO DO THIS TOO.

TO BE GOING FORWARD, WHERE PEOPLE WILL BE FREE TO SPEAK.

I'M MELISSA CHAPEL, WHITE ONE 40 DOGWOOD FARM ROAD IN THE SHENANDOAH FARM SANITARY DISTRICT.

AND I JUST WANTED TO TAKE A MOMENT TO, UM, PUT IN THE RECORD THAT I ATTENDED THE FIRST MEETING OF THE NEW ADVISORY COMMITTEE FOR THE SHANANDOAH FARM SANITARY DISTRICT LAST WEEK, THE FIRST MEETING.

AND IT WAS REALLY IMPRESSIVE.

IT'S A GREAT GROUP OF PEOPLE THAT YOU ALL CHOSE AND APPOINTED.

THEY'RE PROFESSIONAL, THEY'RE EARNEST, THEY'RE SINCERE, AND THEY SEEM VERY DEDICATED TO WHAT THEY'RE TAKING ON.

AND THEY BROUGHT A LOT OF SKILLS TO THE TEAM, OR THEY'RE BRINGING, EXCUSE ME, A LOT OF SKILLS TO THE TABLE.

THEY HAVE IT SKILLS, YOU KNOW, COMPUTER STUFF, ONLINE STUFF, AND, UM, SKILLS IN CON ROAD CONSTRUCT, YOU KNOW, ALL THESE THINGS.

SO, WELL, YOU WILL ALREADY KNOW THIS, BUT THE PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY DON'T OWN ALL THIS.

SO THAT'S WHY IT'S IMPORTANT TO GET IT, YOU KNOW, GET IT IN THE RECORD.

AND SO IT WAS VERY IMPRESSIVE AND THEY'RE SETTING UP ALL KINDS OF THINGS TO FACILITATE COMMUNICATION WITH THE FOLKS IN THE SANITARY DISTRICT, UH, WHICH IS TOTALLY NEW AND, UM, NOT TO TAKE UP TOO MUCH TIME, BUT I HAD COPIED YOU ALL A MONTH AGO, MORE THAN A MONTH AGO ON A DOCUMENT THAT I HAD FILED IN A COURT CASE THAT THE FORMER SANITARY DISTRICT MANAGERS HAD FILED AGAINST ME, UM, TO PENALIZE ME FOR SPEAKING UP AND EXPRESSING OPINIONS THAT WERE NOT FAVORABLE TO THEM NOW, I, AND THIS IS THE OPPOSITION AND I COPIED YOU ALL ON THAT.

SO I JUST WANTED TO BRING A COPY IN FOR THE RECORD, BECAUSE I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE MAKE A RECORD OF THE DISTINCTION BETWEEN THE WAY IT WAS BEFORE AND THE WAY IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S GOING

[00:15:01]

THEY WILL BE FREE TO TALK ABOUT HOW THEY'D LIKE THEIR SANITARY DISTRICT TAX DOLLARS USED, AND NO ONE'S GOING TO THREATEN THEM OR INTIMIDATE THEM OR TRY TO SUPPRESS THEIR OPINIONS.

SO WITH THAT, I YIELD THE FLOOR BACK, BUT I THANK YOU VERY MUCH BECAUSE I KNOW YOU ALL DID A LOT OF WORK TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN.

SO THANK YOU.

MA'AM ANYONE ELSE, MRS. SHAHRAKI? YES.

MADAM CHAIR, THOMAS SAYER.

THOMAS SAYRE PO BOX 56 FRONT ROYAL, VIRGINIA.

IS THAT GOOD ENOUGH? YOU WANT MY PHYSICAL ADDRESS? IS IT SHIRAKI? DOES THAT MEET YOUR NEEDS? YES MA'AM.

SO I'M HERE A COUPLE THINGS REAL SHORT.

THE FIRST IS OUR FORENSIC AUDITORS HAVE DONE A GREAT JOB, GETTING A REALLY GOOD JURY VERDICTS HERE.

AND I KNOW THAT YOU ALL ARE PROBABLY AS CONCERNED AS I AM AND, AND, UH, JUST, UH, FORENSIC AUDITORS THAT ARE FANTASTIC JOB GETTING THE EVIDENCE.

SO THERE WAS A TRAIN BLOCKING SHADOW SHORES ROAD BACK ON FRIDAY, JUNE 17TH, 2022.

AND I WAS ASKED BY A NUMBER OF PEOPLE, IF WE COULD FIGURE OUT WHAT HAPPENED, WHY WAS THE TRAIN JUST SITTING THERE? IT WAS ABANDONED.

UH, FRONT ROW POLICE SHOWED UP.

THEY HAD TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS NOBODY ON THE TRAIN ANYWHERE, UH, THROUGH THE TIME PERIOD.

I WAS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT HAPPENED.

IT TOOK ME A FEW WEEKS INVESTIGATING, UH, DR.

MARY KAY CLARK CALLS ME TO BLOODHOUND, SOMETHING TO OCCUR ABOUT 20 SOME YEARS AGO.

UH, MCKEITH RENOWNED, UH, MCDONALD FOUND OUT WHEN I INVESTIGATE, I TRY TO DO A VERY THOROUGH JOB.

SO WITH WHAT HAPPENED WITH THE NORTH FORK AND SOUTHERN RAILROAD ROCKY IN THE SHADOW SHORES ROAD ON THAT DAY, I WAS ABLE TO FIGURE OUT THAT, UM, APPARENTLY THERE'S A FEDERAL LAW THAT SAYS PERTAINING TO HOURS OF SERVICE REGULATIONS AND THAT THE CREW HAS THE REST.

WHEN CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME GOES BY AND THE PERSON WHO I WAS ABLE TO FINALLY CONTACT WITH SAID THAT THERE'S A CREW.

I ASKED THEM HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE ON THE TRAIN.

AND HE SAYS A TRAIN LIKE THAT WOULD HAVE A CREW OF TWO PEOPLE.

FEDERAL LAW HAS REGULATIONS PERTAINING TO HOURS OF SERVICE REGULATIONS.

APPARENTLY A CREW HAD TO HAVE TO HAD USED UP THEIR HOURS AND HAD THE REST.

I WAS NOT TOLD HOW THE CREW DISAPPEARED, BUT IT WAS SUGGESTED THAT A RELIEF CREW MIGHT'VE BEEN CALLED.

UM, THERE WAS AT THE TIME BEING, WE WERE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS GOING ON.

THIS IS THE TRAIN SITTING THERE AND THE, UM, THAT SOME PEOPLE WERE COMING FROM MANASSAS.

SO EXACTLY HOW TO CREW PHYSICALLY LEFT THE TRAINS.

UNKNOWN TO ME.

I SUSPECT THE CREW ABANDONED THE TRAIN AFTER HOURS WERE UP AND THEY WANTED TO MAKE A STATEMENT, BUT THIS IS ONLY MY PERSONAL THING.

I DON'T HAVE PROOF, BUT THE TRAIN JUST SAT THERE, BLOCKING PEOPLE, PEOPLE, OR TRYING TO GET TO WAR MEMORIAL HOSPITAL.

THEY WERE THREATENED WITH ARREST AS THEY WERE CROSSING.

I WITNESSED THAT WITH MY OWN EYES.

ONE PERSON EVEN SAID, HEY, THERE'S MY TAXI.

THAT'S TAKEN ME TO THE HOSPITAL TO AN IMPORTANT APPOINTMENT.

HE WAS THREATENED WITH ARREST.

OH, ANOTHER LADY SAID SHE HAD TO GO TO SURGERY WAS THREATENED THROUGH ARREST WHILE SHE WAS CROSSING.

SO I WAS TOLD THERE WAS A POINT OF CONVERSATIONS WERE HAD REGARDING THE TRAIN BEING ABANDONED OR WHATEVER THE RAILROAD WANTS TO CALL IT AND LEFT IT THERE AS IT WAS.

BUT THE EXACT IS THAT MY TIME UP? YES, SIR.

AND YOU ALL HAVE A GREAT DAY.

ANYONE ELSE, MR. ROCKY? NO ONE ELSE HAS SIGNED UP MA'AM WOULD ANYONE ELSE LIKE TO SPEAK AT THIS TIME? YES, SIR.

IF YOU COULD COME UP TO THE PODIUM, THEN YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS POLICE ARE, UH, DAVID WILLIAM CONNER, AND 9, 9, 9 LANE IN FRONT RAIL.

UH, I HADN'T INTENDED TO SPEAK, BUT AS HE'S TALKING ABOUT THE TRAIN BLOCKAGES, QUITE OFTEN, A ROCKLAND ROAD, THE TRAINS ARE BLOCKING.

THEY JUST SIT THERE FOR HOURS SOMETIMES.

AND THEN YOU GO AROUND ALL THE WAY AROUND AT TWO FAIRGROUNDS.

SOMETIMES IT'S BLOCKING THERE TOO.

SO WHATEVER YOU GUYS CAN DO TO GET NORFOLK SOUTHERN, TO TAKE CARE OF THESE THINGS, IT'D BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

[00:20:01]

THANK YOU, SIR.

ANYONE ELSE AT THIS TIME, SECOND CALL COMMENT ON THE TRAIN AND THE FLIGHT.

WE'VE ACTUALLY TALKED BEFORE.

IF YOU'RE GOING TO COMMENT, YOU GOT TO COME UP FRONT WELL, BUT YOU CAN'T ARE.

SO DO THAT UPFRONT.

OR WE'VE HAD SEVERAL MEETINGS WITH NORFOLK SOUTHERN.

THEY HAVE BASICALLY TOLD US WHATEVER WE DECIDE TO DO TO THEM.

THEY WILL JUST MAKE THEIR TRAINS LONGER.

AND WHEN THEY SHUT IT DOWN, SAY, THEY'RE RIGHT, THEY HAVE A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME THAT THEY CAN RUN THOSE TRAINS.

THEY GET OFF.

AND WHEN A CREW CAN REPLACE THEM, THEY CAN REPLACE THEM.

SO AS FAR AS IF YOU LOOK BACK IN THE CODE BOOK ACROSS THE, UH, FOR THE HISTORY OF OUR COUNTRY, THE RAILROAD COMPANIES HAVE MORE POWER THAN I THINK PRETTY MUCH ANYBODY BECAUSE IT'S FEDERAL LAW AND ANYTHING ON THAT TRACKS DOES NOT BELONG TO WARREN COUNTY.

IT BELONGS TO THE RAILROAD COMPANY.

IF WE, AS LAW ENFORCEMENT, EVEN STEP FOOT ON THOSE TRACKS, WE ARE TRESPASSING AND CAN BE ARRESTED.

SO POORLY PUTS US IN A BIND.

I THINK WHAT OUR COUNTY NEEDS AS FOR OUR BOARD OF SUPERVISORS TO ACTUALLY APPROACH OUR CONGRESSMEN AND SO FORTH AND THEN STAY AND ACTUALLY PUT UP SIGNS THAT SAYS DIRECT NUMBER TWO, NOT THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE, BECAUSE THERE'S NOTHING WE CAN DO ABOUT IT, BUT TO THE ACTUAL CONGRESS TO ACTUALLY APPROACH RAILROAD COMPANIES, BECAUSE IT IS A PROBLEM.

AND OUR SHERIFF'S OFFICE HAS BEEN WORKING ON IT FOR ALMOST TWO AND A HALF YEARS.

ANYONE ELSE LIKED IT? ANYONE ELSE LIKE TO SPEAK AT THIS TIME ON ANYTHING? THIRD AND FINAL CALL.

AGENDA IS APPROPRIATIONS AND TRANSFERS.

NEXT ON THE

[E. Appropriations and Transfers]

ANY DISCUSSION OR QUESTIONS ON THAT? NO, MA'AM NO, MA'AM HEARING NONE.

IS THERE A MOTION TO ACCEPT AS PRESENTED? SO MOVED SECOND, SECOND, ROLL.

CALM IS A CHEROKEE.

MR. MABE, MRS. COOK.

I MADAM CHAIR.

I MRS. OATES I, MR. BUTLER

[F. Approval of Accounts]

APPROVAL OF ACCOUNTS.

ANY DISCUSSION OR QUESTIONS THERE? NONE FOR ME, MAN.

HEARING NONE.

IS THERE A MOTION TO ACCEPT AS PRESENTED? SECOND, SECOND.

ROCOM IS THIS SHIRAKI MR. BUTLER.

ALL RIGHT, MRS. OATS.

[G. Reports – Board Members, County Administrator, County Attorney]

MR. BUTLER.

I HAD NOTHING TO REPORT AT THIS TIME.

YEAH, I JUST HAVE A COUPLE OF THINGS HERE.

UM, A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO, WE MET WITH THE SCHOOL BOARD AND, UM, WITH THE, AND THE BOARD OF SUPERVISOR FINANCE COMMITTEE, WHERE WE SAT AND WE DISCUSSED, UM, A PATH FORWARD TO CLOSE OUT THE FISCAL YEAR 22 BUDGET, AND ALSO TO ADEQUATELY ALLOCATE THE REMAINING 25% OF THE COUNTY'S CONTRIBUTION BETWEEN THE OPERATIONS AND THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN.

SO, UM, SO THE MESSAGE I WANT TO PUT OUT THAT WE'RE COMMUNICATING AND, UM, WE WILL BE MEETING IN EARLY AUGUST TO, TO CONTINUE ON, UH, THE SECOND ITEM I'D LIKE TO REPORT ON IS THAT, UM, I ATTENDED THE TECHNOLOGY PURCHASE REVIEW COMMITTEE TO EVALUATE AND APPROVE THE ACQUISITION OF THE ELECTRONIC AGENDA MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, THAT WE ARE GOING TO BE APPROVING, UM, THE C DEAN FOR THE COUNTY.

UM, MAINLY THE, THE COMMITTEE, THIS KIND OF LOOKS OUT THE ACQUISITION AND DECIDES IF IT'S, UM, THERE'S VALUE BRINGING IT TO THE COUNTY AND IF WE HAVE THE APPROPRIATE RESOURCES TO PURSUE.

AND THEN LASTLY, WE HAD OUR FIRST FINANCE AUDIT COMMITTEE LAST THURSDAY.

UM, I JUST WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW THAT WE HAVE A GREAT PUBLIC AND COUNTY MEMBERS WITH, UH, WITH MANY YEARS OF FINANCIAL EXPERIENCE AND ACADEMICS.

UM, OUR DIS OUR FIRST, UH, DISCUSSION WAS ON THE VARIOUS GAPS THAT ARE IN OUR FINANCIAL POLICIES AND PROCEDURES AND PROCESSES.

AND SO I'M, I'M LOOKING,

[00:25:01]

I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO WORKING WITH OUR, OUR TEAM AND TO, TO FILL THESE GAPS THAT WE HAVE, UM, THAT WE WILL IMPROVE THE COUNTY'S EXISTING POLICIES AND PROCEDURES.

SO IT WAS A REALLY, REALLY GOOD MEETING.

UM, I W I WANT TO THANK EVERYONE WHO'S PARTICIPATING AT CONSISTENTLY THAT IS REALLY GOING TO BENEFIT US OVERALL.

THAT'S ALL I HAVE.

OF THE, UH, SAFETY ISSUES THAT WE HAVE.

MA'AM MR. MAY, THE BIGGEST THING THAT I'VE GOT TO REPORT IS, UM, UH, LAST MONDAY'S, UH, ESTABLISHMENT OF THE NEW CENTER OR FARM SENATOR DISTRICT ADVISORY REPORT.

IT WENT VERY WELL.

UM, WE TALKED ABOUT LOTS OF THINGS THAT NEEDED TO BE DONE, AND I BELIEVE THAT WE'D GOT ABOUT 80% OF THAT STUFF THAT THEY QUESTIONED US ON.

WE'VE ALREADY GOT, THAT, GOT THAT ACCOMPLISHED.

UM, I'M IN SUPPORT OF IT, AND, UM, I'M GLAD THAT IT'S AROUND.

UM, THAT'S ALL THAT I HAVE MET IN CHAIR.

THANK YOU, SIR.

MS. OATS.

THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR, UM, WITH RESPECT TO THE JUNE 17TH CLOSURE OF, UM, AT SHENANDOAH SHORES, UM, I HAD A CONSTITUENT REACH OUT TO ME AND I HAVE REACHED OUT TO CONGRESSMAN KLEIN AND, UM, I SO FAR, I HAVE NOTHING TO REPORT, BUT I DO WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT IT IS A CONCERN.

UH, ROCKLIN ROAD HAS BEEN BLOCKED MULTIPLE TIMES.

IT CREATES AN EMERGENCY CRISIS SITUATION, AND WE HAVE TO FIND A RESOLUTION.

UM, THERE IS AN ACT, I BELIEVE THAT IT'S DATED BACK TO 1918, GIVING THE RAILROAD COMPLETE AUTHORITY OVER ITS PROPERTY, WHICH ARE THE RAIL LINES.

AND SO IT'S A VERY DIFFICULT SITUATION, BUT WE'RE GOING TO FIND A RESOLUTION BECAUSE WE CANNOT HAVE CHILDREN WHO AREN'T ABLE TO GET TO THEIR PARENTS OR PEOPLE WERE UNABLE TO GET TO HEALTHCARE.

UM, SO THAT'S THE FIRST THING I WANT TO REPORT ON.

UM, THE SECOND THING IS ON JULY 8TH, I WAS INVITED BY THE COUNTY TO THROW OUT THE FIRST PITCH OF THE, AT THE FRONT OIL CARDINALS GAME.

AND JUST LET ME TELL YOU, IT'S A GOOD THING THAT I DIDN'T PLAY BASEBALL.

UM, SO I BELIEVE IT BOUNCED OVER THE PLATE, BUT WE WON'T, WE WON'T TALK ABOUT THAT, BUT I WAS HONORED TO REPRESENT THE COUNTY, UH, ON COUNTY NIGHT AT THE FRONT ROW CARDINALS GAME, AND IT WAS A BLAST.

UM, AND THEN THE LAST THING I WOULD LIKE TO SAY, AND THIS IS A REAL SERIOUS, UM, PIECE, IS THAT I WOULD LIKE TO THANK ALL OF THIS COUNTY AND MY FELLOW SUPERVISORS, THE TOWN COUNCIL, AND EVERYONE WHO HAS SUPPORTED THE EFFORT TO CREATE A DRUG TREATMENT COURT IN OUR COMMUNITY.

LAST TUESDAY AT NOON, WE HAD A COMMUNITY MEETING WITH OVER 85 PARTICIPANTS, PEOPLE WHO SHOWED UP WHO WANTED TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT THE DRUG TREATMENT COURT.

UM, I'D LIKE TO THANK THE PEOPLE WHO WERE INSTRUMENTAL AND PRESENT, UH, PRESENTING TIM COINED.

THE PUBLIC DEFENDER, DID A WONDERFUL JOB IN PRESENTING.

AND I'M SAD TO TELL YOU THAT PART OF HIS REPORT WAS THAT LAST YEAR, THE UNITED STATES REACHED 100,000 OVERDOSE DEATHS IN ONE YEAR.

IT WAS THE FIRST TIME THAT WE HAD EVER REACHED THE SIX FIGURES.

AND, UM, UNFORTUNATELY, UH, THAT DOES NOT LOOK TO CHANGE.

AND SO, UM, I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO THANK ASHLEY BAILEY.

UH, SHE WORKS AS A TREATMENT COORDINATOR AND SHE PRESENTED, AND IT WAS WONDERFUL, BUT MY BIGGEST THANKS.

UM, OUR TWO KENNETH AND EMILY KING QUIK AND THEIR FAMILY THAT WAS AFFECTED BY, UM, DRUG ADDICTION.

AND EMILY GAVE HER TESTIMONY AS A RECOVERY, A PERSON WHO HAD RECOVERED AS A RESULT OF THAT TREATMENT COURT.

AND, UM, WHEN SHE WAS DONE, I DON'T THINK THERE WAS ANYBODY IN THE ROOM, UM, WHO HAD A DRY EYE BECAUSE IT IS A, IT IS A VERY PERSONAL SITUATION.

AND IF WE CAN HELP TO BRING TREATMENT SERVICES TO WARREN COUNTY, IT WILL PROVIDE HOPE TO SO MANY FAMILIES THAT CURRENTLY DON'T SEE ANY THERE.

UM, AND THAT'S IT.

THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO REPORT.

OH, THANK YOU.

UM, JULY 1ST, WE WERE INVITED AS A BOARD TO WITNESS THE INVESTOR CEREMONY FOR JUDGE FUNK.

UM, I THINK JUDGE FUNK IS A FUN EXAMPLE OF, UM, THE TYPE OF PERSON WE NEED AND WANT IN WARREN COUNTY FOR A JUDGE.

AND I WISH I WISH HIM THE BEST IN THAT JULY 8TH.

WE HAD A MEETING HERE WITH, UH, RESONANCY ENGINEER FROM STANTON, RANDY KAISER AT CARTER, OUR RESIDENT ENGINEER FROM EDINBURG THAT COVERS THIS AREA AND MR. MERRILL, WHO IS ON THE VIRGINIA TRANSPORTATION BOARD.

AND WE DISCUSSED, UM, ROAD IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS HERE FOR WARREN COUNTY AND HOW WE CAN GET OUR ROSE A. LITTLE, UH, IMPROVED ON SOME

[00:30:01]

WE DISCUSSED THE RAILROAD AT THAT POINT.

AND, UH, MR. MERRILL SAID THAT HE TOO WOULD LOOK INTO THAT.

UM, I THINK WE TOLD HIM THAT WE WOULD MOUNT A STATUE SOMEPLACE IF HE ARE A MONUMENT IN HIS HONOR, IF HE WAS ABLE TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THAT RAILROAD.

SO WE ARE ACTIVELY TRYING TO DEAL WITH, UM, BECAUSE IT, IT HAPPENS IN BENTONVILLE TOO.

THEY, THEY CROSS AND LEAVE IT THERE AND IT BLOCKS TWO ROADS IN MY AREA AS WELL.

SO THEY'RE NOT JUST PICKING ON THE NORTHERN END OF THE COUNTY.

THEY ARE EQUAL OPPORTUNITY PAIN IN THE BEHIND.

UM, BUT WE WERE REACHING OUT TO EVERYBODY WE CAN REACH OUT TO.

UM, AND UNFORTUNATELY I THINK EVERYBODY'S COMING UP WITH THE SAME THING.

WHAT DO YOU DO WITH THE RAILROAD, BUT WE'RE WORKING ON IT.

UM, AND I TOO WAS ABLE TO GO TO THAT LUNCHEON AND THANK YOU TO EVERYONE.

UH, THIS DRUG COURT HOPEFULLY IS GOING TO BE A GREAT THING TO, UM, TO BENEFIT THOSE THAT HAVE A PROBLEM THAT ANY OF US COULD HAVE ON ANY GIVEN DAY AT A TIME.

SO WE NEED TO BE EMPATHETIC INSTEAD OF, UM, FEELING LIKE IT'S SOMETHING THAT COULDN'T HAPPEN TO US.

AND JULY 14TH, WE HAD BUILDING COMMITTEE MEETING WHERE WE DISCUSS AS A GROUP OF ALL THE PEOPLE AND, UM, INVOLVED IN THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS.

SO WE DISCUSSED THE SENIOR CENTER AND, UM, THE PROGRESS THAT'S GOING ON THERE TO, UM, FIX UP THE OLD CAFETERIA AND THE 15TH STREET SCHOOL TO HAVE THAT THE NEW SENIOR CENTER, HOPEFULLY BY SPRING AND MORGAN FOR BOAT LANDING, WHICH IS, I THINK PRETTY MUCH DONE.

WE NEED TO HAVE A DEDICATION AND WE'LL LET PEOPLE KNOW WHEN WE'RE GOING TO DO THAT.

UM, BENTONVILLE BOAT LANDING IS A WORK IN PROGRESS.

WE HOPE TO GET THAT STARTED.

I'D LIKE TO THINK NOVEMBER, BUT IT MAY BE SPRING, BUT, UM, ROCKLIN, UH, PARK PROJECTS, THE BASKETBALL COURT IS THERE.

THINK IT NEEDS A LITTLE BIT OF TWEAKING, BUT IT'S, UM, YOU CAN TELL IT'S A BASKETBALL COURT AND THERE'S OTHER PROJECTS OUT THERE THAT WE ARE LOOKING, UM, TO GET ACCOMPLISHED.

WE'VE GOT SOME GRANT OPPORTUNITIES.

SO WE WANT TO MAKE THE BEST OF THOSE, THE COOLEY COMPACT OR SITE FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT USE THAT SITE, UM, FOR TRASH DISPOSAL OUT NEAR THE WALMART AREA, WE HAVE PLANS TO THAT.

AND SO THAT'S A WORK IN PROJECT PROGRESS AS WELL.

AND HOPEFULLY WE'RE GOING TO MAKE THAT A MUCH BETTER SITE FOR EVERYONE.

UM, DO YOU USE IN THE FUTURE? AND THEN WE ALSO HAVE PLANS TO DO SOME, UH, WORK WORKUP AT THE TRANSFER STATION.

THE GUYS UP THERE DON'T HAVE A DECENT PLACE TO GO SET THEIR LUNCH DOWN IN, UH, HAVE A GOOD PLACE TO EAT LUNCH AND WASH THEIR HANDS AND STUFF.

SO WE'RE GOING TO TRY TO FIX THAT THE RECENT STORMS IN OUR AREA THAT KNEW A LOT OF PEOPLE WERE AFFECTED.

WE HAD SLAMMED BACK TO BACK STORMS THAT HAVE WASHED OUT ROADS AND DOWN TREES THAT I THINK SOMEONE IS HOUSE WAS HIT BY LIGHTNING.

UM, ONE OF ALIGNMENT UNDERSTAND WAS ELECTROCUTED DOWN IN THE SHAMBO SHORES AREA.

I BELIEVE SO.

WE THANK EVERYBODY THAT HAD TO GET OUT AND DO THE REPAIRS TO ALL THAT.

AND OUR PRAYERS GO OUT TO THAT PERSON THAT WAS ELECTROCUTED AND HOPE THAT HE'S DOING WELL.

AND, UM, WE APPRECIATE, UM, OUR PUBLIC WORKS, OUR ARVIDA AND ALL OF OUR LAW ENFORCEMENT.

AND WE'VE GOT A COUPLE OF DISPATCHERS HERE.

I KNOW THAT IT ALWAYS INCREASES YOUR JOB DURING THAT.

SO WE APPRECIATE ALL THAT YOU DO FOR OUR COMMUNITY.

AND THAT'S WHAT I HAVE DR.

DAILY.

ABOUT TWO MONTHS FORWARD AND TWO MONTHS BACK.

MA'AM WOULD REMIND YOU THAT THE AUDITORS ARE HERE AND, UH, STARTING TO WORK, UH, TO COLLECT DATA FOR THE, FOR THE AUDIT.

AND THEY'RE ALSO WORKING ON THE EDA AUDIT FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS.

NO, WE HAD 18 AND 19 FISCAL YEARS, 18 AND 19 WERE DONE BY BROWN EDWARDS AND WE'VE BEEN WORKING TO GET THE SCHOOL YEAR'S 20 AND 21.

AND, UH, THEY ARE, THE AUDITORS ARE WORKING ON GETTING ALL OF THE DATA AND GETTING THAT TO MATCH FROM BROWN EDWARDS SO THAT THEY CAN THEN BEGIN AUDITING FROM WHEN THE COUNTY TOOK OVER THE RECORDS IN JULY OF 2019.

UH, WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE ANNUAL REPORT AND YOUR BOOKLET, YOU SEE LOTS OF NUMBERS THAT LOOK VERY ODD WOULD REMIND YOU THAT THE AUTOMAKERS ARE GOING TO MOVE THINGS FOR

[00:35:01]

SO THERE'S A TWO MONTH SWING IN FOUR MONTHS, SWING IN THERE.

UH, EXAMPLE BEING THE SALES TAX IS ALWAYS TWO WEEKS, TWO MONTHS RATHER BEHIND WHEN IT'S TRANSFERRED.

SO IT SHOWS RIGHT NOW AS A MUCH LARGER NUMBER THAN IT WILL BE WHEN IT IS FINALIZED, BECAUSE THOSE TRANSFERS HAVE TO BE MADE.

UH, GOOD.

ALSO, UM, THE WORST THING IN THE AUDIT REPORT IS PROBABLY THE FACT THAT, UH, INTER TRANSFERS ARE DOWN ABOUT THREE AND A HALF MILLION THAT'S BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO TAKE ANY MONEY OUT OF YOUR FUND BALANCE.

SO SHOWS AS A ZERO, UH, W AND JUST ABOUT A YEAR AS WE START THIS NEW YEAR, UH, THE GROUP YOU SEE IN THE BACK THERE, YOU SEE A NUMBER OF THEM HAVE BEEN HERE JUST ABOUT A YEAR.

AND I THINK YOU CAN THINK ABOUT AND REFLECT WHAT AN AMAZING JOB THEY HAVE DONE IN THAT LAST YEAR.

THANK YOU, MAN.

YOU GUYS HAVE DONE A GREAT JOB.

AND YOU, AND YOU DID IT, UH, UNDER SOME ROUGH CIRCUMSTANCES IN THIS PAST YEAR.

SO WE REALLY APPRECIATE YOU, UH, AND YOUR VERSATILITY THROUGH ALL THIS.

SO MR. HAM, ANY REPORT, I HAVE NO REPORT.

BAYLOR FOR SELLING PROPERTY

[J. Consent Agenda]

ITEM SIX FOR DISCUSSION.

ANY OTHER ITEMS NEED TO BE PULLED FOR DISCUSSION

[00:40:04]

HEARING NONE.

IS THERE A MOTION TO ACCEPT THE CONSENT AGENDA WITH THE EXCEPTION OF ITEM SIX? I MOVED TO ACCEPT THE CONSENT AGENDA WITH THE EXCEPTION OF ITEM SIX SECOND, SECOND.

ROLL CALL, MRS. SHIRAKI MR. MABE, MRS. COOK.

I MADAM CHAIR.

HI, MRS. OATES.

HI, MR. BUTLER.

[6. Resolution to Establish the Hardsurface Improvement Project Rating System Policy – Mike Berry]

ITEM NUMBER SIX.

UM, THAT ONE IS THE RESOLUTION TO ESTABLISH THE HEART SERVICE IMPROVEMENT PROJECT RATING SYSTEM POLICY BY MR. BARRY.

UM, I'VE GOT A COUPLE OF QUICK QUESTIONS AND I'M SURE YOU CAN HELP ME THROUGH IT.

UM, THE WAY THAT THE, THE WAY THE THING IS WRITTEN, I BELIEVE THAT I UNDERSTAND IT.

UM, BUT I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT, UM, WE HAVE ALL OF THE COMMITTEES THAT THEY TALK ABOUT ESTABLISHED.

UM, THEY WERE LOOKING FOR, EXCUSE ME, A DESIGNATED TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE AND ALSO A TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE, UH, THAT, THAT HAS THE ABILITY TO AUTHORIZE THINGS.

HAVE WE ESTABLISHED THOSE COMMITTEES YET? AND IF NOT, WHY NOT? NO, SIR.

WE HAVE NOT.

WE'VE DISCUSSED THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE COMMITTEE, BUT WE HAVE NOT ESTABLISHED IT.

WE HAVE, WE HAVE, UH, THE BOARD HAS ALREADY APPROVED THE ROAD WRITING POLICY AND THE, UM, UM, UM, THE RATING SYSTEM AND THAT THIS DOCUMENT IS BASICALLY TO LET V DOT KNOW THAT WE HAVE ESTABLISHED A POLICY FOR THE ROAD RATING AND TO LET THEM KNOW THAT THE BOARD HAS ALREADY APPROVED IT.

AND THIS RESOLUTION IS JUST TO LET IT BE THAT AND KNOW HOW WILL BE, UM, UM, SETTING UP THESE RIGHTS FOR OUR FUTURE PROJECTS.

AND SO WE'RE NOT PUTTING THE CART BEFORE THE HORSE.

WE'RE JUST SAYING THAT WE'VE GOT IT RIGHT PREPARED.

THIS IS THE LEVY THAT NO SIMILAR TO, WHEN WE SAY YES, WE WILL ACCEPT, UM, YOU KNOW, THIS IS OUR PLAN.

WE HAVE THIS REVENUE SHARING PROJECT AND THIS PROJECT AND THIS PROJECT AND THE BOARD HAS COMMITTED TO, UM, THESE REVENUE SHARING PROJECTS.

AND WE TYPICALLY DO A RESOLUTION FROM THE BOARD SAYING THAT, YOU KNOW, WE DO AGREE THAT THESE ARE THE COUNTY'S PRIORITIES.

THE LAST AND FINAL QUESTION IS WHEN DO YOU ANTICIPATE SETTING UP THESE COMMITTEES TO HELP YOU GET THROUGH THIS? WELL, IT'S AS QUICKLY AS WE CAN.

UM, WE WILL, WE WILL EVALUATE THE ROADS AND THE COUNTY, AND WE'VE ALREADY DISCUSSED, UM, UM, A NUMBER OF ROADS THAT THE BOARD FELT WERE THE NEXT PRIORITIES BASED ON THE PREVIOUS PLANS.

UM, WE'VE ALREADY TOLD ABOUT THOSE ROADS AND, AND OUR DESIRE TO GET THEM IN THE V THAT DOCUMENT IN THE NEXT CYCLE.

UM, WE WILL REVIEW THAT ANNUALLY.

AND WHEN WE GO THROUGH THE ROADS, WE WILL NEED TO ESTABLISH THIS COMMITTEE.

SO, UM, I KNOW THERE WAS SOME INPUT FROM THE CHAIR IN REGARDS TO POSSIBLY HAVING SOME COMMUNITY MEMBERS IN THERE.

UM, WE JUST NEEDED TO DETERMINE, UM, THE, THE FINAL NUMBER AND, UM, MAKE A DECISION, YOU KNOW, WHETHER, YOU KNOW, IT'S AN INTERNAL GROUP OR INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL GROUP, I THINK IT SHOULD BE RELATIVELY SIMPLE.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

I HAVE NO MORE QUESTIONS.

THAT THEY CAN ACTUALLY NOMINATE ROADS, BECAUSE THERE ARE TIMES WHEN WE CAN'T COVER OUR ENTIRE MAGISTERIAL DISTRICTS AND KNOW WHAT OUR CONSTITUENTS ARE THINKING AND WHAT CONCERNS THEY HAVE.

SO, MR. BARRY, I BELIEVE THAT WE DISCUSSED ON THE COMMITTEE HAVING MAYBE REPRESENTATION FROM THE VARIOUS MAGISTERIAL DISTRICTS.

IS THAT STILL THE, UH, AND THAT'S STILL THE PLAN, CORRECT? THAT EACH OF US WOULD TRY TO FIND SOMEBODY WHO WANTS TO HAVE SOME INPUT INTO THE ROOM WITH ME PRIORITIZATION, RIGHT.

IF YOU WILL, RIGHT? YEAH, WE WILL.

WE WILL MEET AS DESCRIBED.

WE'LL, WE'LL REVIEW THE ROADS WITH V THAT WE'LL, WE'LL ACCEPT, YOU KNOW, IF SOMEONE HAS INPUT TO THE ROADS THAT THEY FEEL SHOULD BE A PART OF THE PLAN, AND THEN WE REVIEW THEM BASED ON, YOU KNOW, OUR METRICS THAT THE BOARD ESTABLISHED AND THEN YOUR COMMITTEE THAT YOU HAVE SELECTED AT THIS POINT, WE'LL REVIEW THIS LISTING AND PUT THEM IN A PRIORITIES PRIORITIZE LIST FOR, UM, V DOT.

UM, AND THEN WE'LL HAVE A LISTING, YOU KNOW, I MEAN, OF COURSE FUNDING IS APPROVED ANNUALLY, YOU KNOW, AND, YOU KNOW, WE CAN HAVE, WE CAN HAVE 30 ROADS ON THE LIST.

UM, IT WON'T MEAN WE WILL GET TO ALL 30 OF THOSE RIGHTS ON THE LIST, BUT, YOU KNOW, EACH YEAR WE HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO BACK AND HAVE YOUR COMMITTEE REVIEW, SEE IF THERE'S ANY CHANGES.

UM, AND WE'VE, I THINK WE'VE DISCUSSED THAT SOMEWHAT.

UM, BUT, UM, YEAH, WE CAN, WE CAN HAVE A WORK SESSION ON THE DESIRES OF THE COMMITTEE IF YOU'D LIKE.

I THINK THAT WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO IS GET THE CONSTITUENTS INVOLVED SO THAT THEY UNDERSTAND

[00:45:01]

AND SO THIS MIGHT BE A, AN AVENUE FOR PEOPLE TO FEEL LIKE THEY CAN NOMINATE A ROAD FOR CONSIDERATION OFFER IMPROVEMENT IN THE FUTURE.

I GET CALLS FREQUENTLY, AND MANY OF THEM ARE PRIVATE AND THEY DON'T KNOW THAT WHEN THEY'RE CALLING ME.

UM, SO IT'S, YOU KNOW, IT'S A MATTER OF, OF JUST BEING ABLE TO HAVE SOMEBODY THAT IS THEIR POINT OF CONTACT, IF YOU WELL, AND I HAVE RECEIVED THE, A LISTING OF UNPAVED ROADS AND THE COUNTY FROM VIETNAM, AND I HAVE, UM, ASKED GIS TO CREATE A MAP OF THOSE ROADS, AND THEN ALSO TO, UH, SHOW YOUR, YOUR DISTRICTS WITHIN THAT MAP TO HELP YOU, UM, AND, AND THE COMMITTEE AS WE MOVE FORWARD.

AND THIS COMES BACK TO AFTER, AFTER ALL THIS PROCESS HAS DONE, IT COMES BACK FOR FINAL APPROVAL OF THIS BOARD.

YES.

YOU'RE SO YOU'RE, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE A, I MEAN, YOU'RE ANNUALLY GOING TO HAVE TO HAVE A PUBLIC HEARING, UM, YOU KNOW, ON WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO AND V THAT WE'LL BE HERE AS A PARTNER, BUT INTERNALLY WE'RE GOING TO WORK ON THE ROADS.

SO WE'RE GOING TO EVALUATE THE ROADS AND THEN YOUR COMMITTEE IS GOING TO REVIEW THOSE RIGHTS AND PRIORITIZE THOSE ROADS.

AND HOPEFULLY WE CAN DO IT IN A TIMELY FASHION SO THAT WE CAN GET ON V THAT'S, YOU KNOW, SHEET THAT YOU WERE CONCERNED WITH THIS YEAR FOR THE RIGHT.

BUT I MEAN, WE NOW ON MOST OF OUR COMMITTEES, THERE'S A BOARD REPRESENTATIVE.

I DON'T SEE THAT WITH THIS, THAT, THAT I THINK THE MAKEUP OF THE BOARD REALLY, UM, CAN BE THE BOARD APPOINTED BY THE BOARD, SIR.

SO THE BOARD CAN PUT ANYBODY YOU WANT ON THERE.

YOU CAN PUT YOURSELVES, YOU CAN PUT ANYBODY YOU WANT IN YOUR DISTRICT OR IN SOMEBODY ELSE'S DISTRICT.

IT'S TOTALLY YOUR CHOICE.

YEP.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR ME? NO, THANK YOU.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE, MR. BAKER.

WELL, WE JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE WE DO THIS RIGHT.

UH, ROADS ARE A BIG CONCERN TO EVERYBODY IN THE COUNTY AND TRYING TO MAKE SURE WE DO THIS FAIR AND EQUITABLY ACROSS THE COUNTY WITH THE LIMITED AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT VDI GIVES US.

AND, UM, THAT WE'RE GETTING THE BEST BANG FOR THE BUCK IS PART OF IT.

SO I'D RATHER TAKE IT SLOW AND STEADY AND GET IT RIGHT THAN RUSH THROUGH IT.

AND THEN WISH WE HAD TAKEN IT SLOW AND STEADY.

SO THAT'S WHY I'VE ASKED SO MANY QUESTIONS.

ONE TO, TO MAKE SURE WE ARE GETTING THIS RIGHT.

SO ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, AND IF NOT, IS THERE A MOTION? I MOVE THAT THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS ADOPT THE PROPOSED RESOLUTION TO ESTABLISH THE HARD SERVICE IMPROVEMENT PROJECT RATING SYSTEM POLICY.

SECOND WE'LL CALL MR. SHIRAKI.

MR. BUTLER AGAIN, PLEASE.

MR. BUTLER.

UH, THIS IS, UH, DEVOTE.

WE ARE NOW DOWN TO THE CLOSED SESSION CHART AND I THINK THIS IS THE NEWEST VERSION OF THE COURT SESSION.

YOUR NAIL ON THE HARD SURFACE, UM, IMPROVEMENT PROJECT RATING SYSTEM POLICY.
