| Begin to test Medicaid patients, show them how to. | 00:32:38 | |

| Good morning, Commissioners. Roberto Solve with the Emergency Management Office, the application you have before you were | 00:33:36 | |
| requesting to submit that the state was moved to electronic process. So there's no signature forms, but there are the process of | 00:33:43 | |
| submitting the application. We did submit a pass around memo on November 8th. The board agreed to go through that process and to | 00:33:50 | |
| allow us to submit that application. | 00:33:56 | |
| Quarterly reporting and checks and balances. We'll do the quarterly reporting. | 00:34:04 | |
| And then the controller will sign up on the financial review as we've been doing for our quarterly reports for the last several | 00:34:08 | |
| years. So we request that the Board authorize us to submit the application. | 00:34:14 | |
| Should mention the dollar amount is 91,000. | 00:34:20 | |
| $496. | 00:34:24 | |
| Any questions for Roy? | 00:34:27 | |
| Watching my Commissioner saying to approve contract ID 8920 second by Commissioner Buck. | 00:34:30 | |
| In this case, there we go, All those in favor signify by saying aye aye. All of those same sign contract ID 8920 passes. | 00:34:35 | |
| I'm #7 considered contract ID 8927 change order #2 to agreement for construction services for riggsdale sand and readership | 00:34:47 | |
| project bin number B23 hundred 177 authorized share signed TCC corporation good morning good morning commissioners Patrick | 00:34:55 | |
| O'Neill, director of facilities the construction of the new greater shadow briggsdale was awarded to TCC construction during the | 00:35:02 | |
| process of construction it was realized and determined that the. | 00:35:10 | |
| Island position wasn't going to work. Therefore this request is for a change order to for the construction necessary to move the | 00:35:17 | |
| fuel island to a different location on the site, which allows for easier mobility of turn around for trucks and also side by side | 00:35:27 | |
| fueling for unleaded for such a sharp vehicles. So the resulting change order request and asking for approval of 64,000. | 00:35:37 | |
| $5.76 for this additional work. | 00:35:47 | |
| Any questions? | 00:35:53 | |
| Yes, just curious as to why it didn't work. | 00:35:56 | |
| So the existing design had the fuel island close to the building. | 00:35:59 | |
| And so this new design has it away from the building, it allows for easier turn around of trucks. And then the other aspect was it | 00:36:05 | |
| was a single side fueling. And this new position allows for side by side fueling, one side being diesel, the other side being | 00:36:12 | |
| unleaded fuel, which allows for easier access of for sheriff vehicles. So sheriff's vehicle could fuel up at the same time as a | 00:36:18 | |
| diesel truck is fueling up. | 00:36:25 | |
| That makes great sense, but why didn't we realize that before? It cost us $64,000. | 00:36:34 | |
| So that going to this site, the plans aren't as always as clear, seeing it on paper, which is fair, going to the site it it became | 00:36:39 | |
| much more clear. | 00:36:45 | |
| 2nd. | 00:36:56 | |
