EXCUSE COMMUNICATIONS

[5 COMMUNICATIONS WITH AND REPORTS OF THE COUNTY EXECUTIVE]

FIRST, I HAVE HANDOUT FOR YOU LEGISLATOR, MEGAN SMITH.

UH, MY OFFICE IS EMAILING YOU THIS RIGHT NOW.

MEMBERS OF THE BODY, YOU ARE SITTING ON $16 MILLION WORTH OF 9 1 1 FUNDS THAT HAVE BEEN SITTING IN, UH, THE BANK FOR A WHILE.

THERE ARE LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES THAT COULD USE THESE FUNDS.

WHAT I'VE GIVEN YOU TODAY IS JUST A DRAFT REVIEW OF WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO BRING BEFORE THE BODY IN THE NEXT WEEK OR SO.

UM, WE HAVE A, A, UH, LEGISL.

BARCA HAS A RESOLUTION RIGHT NOW ABOUT THE CITY OF BUCKNER, AND WE'VE BEEN WORK, MY ADMINISTRATION HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH MARK AND ALSO WITH THE MISSOURI 9 1 1 TRUST FUND ABOUT WHAT ISSUES ARE AVAILABLE AND AREN'T AVAILABLE UNDER THE 9 1 1 FUNDS.

UM, THEY FIRST, AND THIS IS AN ADVISORY CAPACITY, THEY ADVISE US THE CAPACITY THIS BODY GETS TO DO WHAT THEY WANT TO DO WITH THESE FUNDS, BUT THAT WE NEED TO FOLLOW THEIR ADVICE, I BELIEVE.

UM, ONE OF THE ISSUES FOR SPECIFICALLY BUCKNER, THEY DIDN'T BELIEVE THAT, UH, AUTOMOBILES FELL UNDER THAT, AND THEN SOME OF OTHER SURVEILLANCE THEY HAD ON TOP OF THEIR, UH, UH, BUILDING.

SO THIS IS, THIS IS KIND OF THE FUNDS THAT THEY AGREED WOULD FALL.

AND ALSO, UH, I WANNA MAKE SURE THIS BODY KNOWS THAT YOU DID PASS SOME RADIO HANDHELD RADIOS TO THE CITY OF GREENWOOD IN THE PAST.

SO I THINK THIS BODY HAS KIND OF MADE THE DECISION THAT THE HANDHELD RADIOS DO FIT UNDER THE 9 1 1 FUNDING, UH, FOR THE DISPATCH.

SO ALL THIS IS TODAY IS TO GIVE IT TO YOU AS, AS WHAT I'D LIKE TO BRING BEFORE THIS BODY THE NEXT WEEK OF WHAT WE WOULD DO A SORT OF A, A, UH, COMPREHENSIVE FIRST SHOT AT THIS, THIS WOULD BE ALMOST $5 MILLION WORTH OF 9 1 1 FUNDS.

UH, YOU WOULD STILL HAVE ALMOST $12 MILLION LEFT TO TAKE CARE OF ANY OF THOSE FUNDS OUT THERE OR ANY OF THOSE, UH, MUNICIPALITIES.

SOMETHING WANNA DEAL WITH 9 1 1? I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE WORK ON THESE.

NOW, UH, AS FAR AS THE FIRST ONE IS THESE IN JACKSON COUNTY, UH, REDUNDANT DISPATCHING CAPACITY THAT'S IN LEE SUMMIT.

I WANNA BRING SOMEONE FROM LEE SUMMIT AND TELL YOU WHAT THEY'RE DOING, HOW THIS MONEY WOULD HELP THEM WITH MORE STAFF TO BE ABLE TO DO THEIR DISPATCHING FOR ALL AROUND EASTERN JACKSON COUNTY.

UM, I THINK THE CITY OF BUCKNER HAVE BEEN BEFORE THEY TOLD YOU ABOUT THEIR CONCERNS OR ISSUES.

SU CITY OF SUGAR CREEK AREA.

AND THEN YOU, YOU DID HEAR, UH, ABOUT THE PEREGRINE, UH, PUBLIC SAFETY TECHNOLOGY ISSUE THAT WOULD HELP WITH THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT, CITY OF RAYTOWN, CITY OF BLUE SPRINGS, CITY OF INDEPENDENCE, CITY OF GREENVIEW, AND THE CITY OF GREEN VALLEY, WHICH HAS HELPED THEM WITH THEIR LAW ENFORCEMENT EFFORTS.

SO THIS IS JUST TO, UH, GET THE BALL ROLLING.

I WANTED TO GET IN FRONT OF YOU.

UH, I WOULD DEFINITELY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, DISCUSSION NOW, BUT I DON'T HAVE A PIECE OF LEGISLATION IN FRONT OF YOU RIGHT NOW, BUT I WOULD AN ENTERTAIN ANY QUESTIONS BEFORE I MOVE ON? YES, PLEASE.

UH, THANK YOU FOR PUTTING THIS TOGETHER.

UH, WE HAD CONVERSATION ABOUT HAVING A POOL FOR ANYBODY TO, TO, UH, SEND FOR ANY OF THE MUNICIPALITIES OR DISPATCH CENTERS TO, TO SEND IN REQUEST.

HAS THAT BEEN DEVELOPED OR SHOULD THEY JUST GO AHEAD AND SEND IN REQUEST INDIVIDUALLY? THAT'S GOOD.

GOOD QUESTION.

WHAT I, WHAT I WOULD PROCEED TO DO IS WE'VE WORKED WITH THESE, THIS, THESE ISSUES.

WE KNOW THAT THEY'RE READY TO GO, UH, SEE IF WE CAN GET THESE PASSED AND THEN, UH, WITH THE REMAINING $11 MILLION, START THE PROCESS OF THE POOL AND ASK FOR ALL THE AGENCIES TO NOW SUBMIT APPLICATIONS.

GIVE THEM A TIMEFRAME, UH, WITHIN 30 DAYS, 45 DAYS.

AND THEN AT THE END OF THAT, WE WILL HAVE ALL OF THOSE IN TO DEAL WITH THE $11 MILLION THAT ARE REMAINING.

OKAY.

THANK YOU.

ANY OTHER, OH, LET'S CLEAR MICHAEL.

HOW, WHERE'S THIS COMING FROM AND IS IT INCREASING? IS THIS FROM A TAX OR THIS IS THE 9 1 1 TAX, THE, THE, OR DOES IT KEEP GOING UP? KEEPS GOING UP EVERY YEAR.

ABOUT HOW MUCH, DO YOU KNOW? I DON'T KNOW SPECIFICALLY HOW MUCH, HOW MUCH COMES IN.

NO, YOUR AMOUNT IS A DOLLAR ON CELL PHONES.

IT'S ON YOUR CELL PHONE BILL THAT STAY THE SAME.

SO IT, IT IS PRICE PER CELL PHONE BILL THAT COMES IN.

SO IF YOU KEEP USING YOUR CELL PHONE, THIS TAX WILL STILL BE PAID.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM THE LEGISLATURE? AN ANOTHER ISSUE IS THE RFPS HAVE GONE OUT ON MCCUNE SCHOOL AND THEY EXPIRE ON

[00:10:01]

IF ITS BODY REMEMBERS, WE HAVE TWO, UH, RFPS GOING OUT AT THE SAME TIME.

NUMBER ONE IS FOR IF SOMEONE WANTS TO PURCHASE AND THE REQUIREMENT IS TO DEMOLISH THAT PROPERTY, UM, THEY HAVE TILL SEPTEMBER 1ST TO GET THAT, THAT, UH, PROPOSAL IN.

AND ALSO AT THE SAME TIME, WE HAVE JUST AN RP JUST FOR THE DEMOLITION, FOR ANY DEMOLITION COMPANY THAT WOULD PROPOSE HOW MUCH THAT WOULD COST TO JUST DEMOLISH THE FACILITY AND LEAVE IT READY FOR SOMETHING ELSE.

OF COURSE, WE WANNA LOOK AT THE, THE BEST CASE SCENARIO.

IF SOMEONE WANTS TO BUY IT AND DEMOLISH IT, WE MAKE MONEY AND THAT'S GOOD.

IF WE JUST HAVE TO DEMOLISH OURSELF, THAT'S MONEY THAT WE HAVE TO TAKE OUT OF OUR COFFERS TO MAKE THAT, UH, THAT DEMOLITION.

SO JUST WANTED TO KNOW THE BODY THAT THAT IS GOING OUT THERE AND IT, IT ENDS SEPTEMBER 1ST.

THANK YOU.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR THE COUNTY EXECUTIVE? AND FINALLY, UH, WELL NOT FILE JULY 23RD, I FILED A MOTION TO THE COURT TO CANCEL THE DELINQUENT TAX SALE ON JULY 24TH.

JUDGE HARRELL SIGNED THAT ORDER, SO THAT TAX SALE HAS OFFICIALLY BEEN CANCELED.

UH, AND THEN FINALLY, UH, WE HELD A JOINT PRESS EVENT ABOUT THE CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT.

THIS BODY AUTHORIZED ME TO ENTER INTO A MEMO OF UNDERSTANDING WITH THE CLASS ACTION LAWYERS.

UH, WE HAD A GOOD PRESS CONFERENCE AND TALKED ABOUT ALL THE ISSUES.

UM, WE HAD A HEARING THIS MORNING.

I THINK THE NEXT DATE FOR THAT, THE COURT HEARING IS AUGUST, MR. COUNTY COUNSELOR.

AND WHAT WILL BE GOING ON NOW IS THE LONG FORM OF THE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT.

THE TWO, THE, UH, UH, BOTH COUNSEL WILL BE WORKING ON THAT.

UM, BUT UH, JUST TO REMIND YOU, UH, WE'VE COME A LONG WAY AND SO THANK YOU THIS BODY FOR, UH, APPROVING THAT SETTLEMENT AND, UH, WE, THERE IS A LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL IN THESE TAX ISSUES.

SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR COLLABORATION ON THAT.

THAT'S ALL I HAVE.

THANK YOU.

ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE COUNTY EXECUTIVE? YES.

LEGISLATOR PARKER.

UH, MR. EXECUTIVE, WHAT'S THE TIMING WE'RE LOOKING AT TO GET REFUNDS OUT THE DOOR? I KNOW THAT WAS A REFERENCE THAT WAS MADE OVER THE WEEK.

SO WHAT, WHAT'S OUR TIMING ANTICIPATED FOR THAT, UH, WHEN YOU'RE SPEAKING ABOUT PROPERTY TAX ASSESSMENTS? YEAH.

UH, SO OUR TIMING IS TO GET THE CREDITS READY TO BE APPLIED OCTOBER 1ST.

SO EACH PROPERTY OWNER WILL BE ABLE TO LOOK AND SEE WHAT THEIR CREDITS ARE FOR THE NEXT THREE YEARS AS FAR AS REFUNDS.

THERE ARE SPECIFICALLY PEOPLE WHO PAID UNDER PROTEST AND FOLLOWED THE SPECIFIC PROCEDURE, UNDERPAY UNDER PROTEST.

AND THOSE ARE BEING RECALCULATED RIGHT NOW.

SO THOSE REFUNDS ARE GOING OUT EVERY DAY.

THE PROCESS.

UM, AS FAR AS OTHER REFUNDS, THERE ARE NO OTHER REFUNDS EXCEPT FOR THE, THE MOVERS AS WE CALL 'EM.

THERE'S TWO CATEGORIES OF MOVERS IN THIS PLAN.

MOVERS ARE ONE, YOU HAD PROPERTY IN JACKSON COUNTY, YOU SOLD IT, YOU HAVE A NEW PIECE OF PROPERTY.

WE'RE GONNA GET GIVE YOU TAX CREDITS ON THAT PROPERTY OVER THREE YEARS.

WE'RE GONNA APPLY THOSE.

THE OTHER ONES ARE THE MOVERS WHO HAD A PIECE OF PROPERTY IN JACKSON COUNTY, HAVE SOLD IT AND DO NOT HAVE ANOTHER RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY.

THOSE PEOPLE ARE GONNA GET ACTUAL REFUNDS AND THEY'LL GET REFUNDS THREE YEARS IN A ROW, A THIRD OF IT EACH WAY PAID TO THEM UNDER THE REFUNDS.

THOSE WILL GO OUT, THOSE REFUNDS AND THAT WILL START THIS FALL, OR EXCUSE ME, THIS JANUARY OF 27 FOR THE REFUNDS FOR THE MOVERS WHO HAVE SOLD PROPERTY AND DO NOT HAVE A PROPERTY, RESIDENCE PROPERTY IN JACKSON COUNTY ANYMORE.

AND I'M SURE HOPEFULLY THAT'S, THAT WAS THE QUESTION YOU ASKED.

YEAH.

SO HAVE WE SENT OUT THE INITIAL NOTICE THAT USUALLY COMES OUT, THAT'S THE LARGE NUMBER, THE ASSESSMENT, THE IMPACT ASSESSMENTS HAVE BEEN OUT TO PROPERTY OWNERS.

YES.

SO FOLKS, AND THAT JUST TELLS YOU YOUR ASSESSMENT AMOUNT, WHICH IS THE SAME THING AS IT WAS LAST YEAR, RIGHT? SO DO WE HAVE ANYTHING TRAILING THAT SAYING, HEY, THIS IS ALSO COMING IN THE FALL.

JUST TO BE CLEAR, ANYTHING IN THAT ASSESSMENT NOTICE THAT THAT'S WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT.

ONCE THE OCTOBER 1ST, UH, THE CREDITS ARE APPLIED FOR PARCEL IS TO NOTIFY THE PUBLIC, UH, THAT THAT'S COMING.

AT THE SAME TIME, ONCE THE JUDGE, UH, AFFIRMS AND CONFIRMS THE PROPERTY, THE CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT, EVERY PRO PROPERTY ON RULE, BE RECEIVING A CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT NOTICE THAT GIVES YOU ALL THE SPECIFICS OF THE SETTLEMENT AND, AND YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO APPLY WITHIN A CERTAIN PERIOD OF TIME TO, IF YOU'RE A MOVER, A CERTAIN PERIOD OF TIME FOR THE SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE OR SPECIFIC FUNDS IF YOU NEED TO BE REIMBURSED FOR ATTORNEYS OR APPRAISALS.

OKAY.

THANK YOU.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? THANK YOU.

YES, MR. SMITH.

SO, UM, I WANT TO MAKE SURE I'M, UH, CLARIFY.

SO WE HAVE, UM, PEOPLE WHO, FOR EXAMPLE, UH, HAD THEIR 2023 APPEALS HEARD IN 2025, AND THOSE APPEALS WERE SUCCESSFUL IN, IN THE NORMAL COURSE OF BUSINESS AT JACKSON COUNTY.

LET'S JUST SAY I, YOU KNOW, HAD A PROPERTY THAT DROPPED IN VALUE BY 50% BASED ON APPEAL, BUT I'VE ALREADY PAID MY TAXES IN THE NORMAL COURSE OF BUSINESS IN JACKSON COUNTY.

WHEN OUR ASSESSMENT SYSTEM'S TALKING SUCCESSFULLY TO OUR COLLECTION SYSTEM, WE THEN ISSUE A REFUND CHECK TO THAT PERSON.

THAT'S JUST NORMAL BUSINESS.

AND I'M GOING TO MAKE AN ASSUMPTION AND ASK YOU TO CONFIRM IT, THAT THOSE PEOPLE WHO JUST NOW GOT THEIR APPEAL HEARD FROM 2023 AND WERE SUCCESSFUL, UH, THEY SHOULD BE GETTING A REFUND CHECK JUST LIKE EVERY YEAR.

THEY SHOULDN'T HAVE TO WAIT FOR THREE YEARS FOR THAT.

IS THAT CORRECT? YOU'RE EXACTLY RIGHT.

THAT'S A WHOLE DIFFERENT SPECIFIC THING.

[00:15:01]

YEAH.

UM, YOU, YOU I IDENTIFY, UH, ONE OF THE GLARING PROBLEMS. UH, IT'S WITH ASSESSMENT AND COLLECTIONS, NOT WORKING TOGETHER WITH THE, THE DATA, BUT THOSE ARE BEING DONE RIGHT NOW.

WE HAVE ONE GUY THAT'S, WE, WE GOT HIM KIND OF WALLED OFF HIS OWN HOLE TO DO THAT.

AND IT'S GOING MANUALLY.

RECAL RECLASSIFICATION OF THOSE.

AND ONCE THAT'S ENTERED FROM THE ASSESSMENT INFORMATION TO, TO THE COLLECTIONS, A CHECK IS BEING CUT FOR THEM.

AND THEY WILL, THEY WILL GET, AND THANK YOU FOR THAT SPECIFICATION.

THEY WILL GET REAL MONEY.

CASH MONEY, NOT A REFUND.

I MEAN, EXCUSE ME.

NOT A CREDIT A, THEY'LL GET A CHECK FROM THE COUNTY.

RIGHT.

THANK YOU MADAM CLERK ORDINANCE

AS A WHOLE MOVE, WE WILL HOPE.

SECOND, THERE'S A MOTION TO ADOPT.

AND A SECOND.

IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION MADAM CHAIR? YES.

UH, THIS IS ONE OF THE ISSUES THAT I, I BROUGHT UP BEFORE I THINK IS A REALLY GOOD IDEA TO FOCUS ON IN CORPORATE JACKSON COUNTY.

IT'S A TWOFOLD PIECE OF LEGISLATION.

NUMBER ONE IS, IS ESTABLISHING THE ACTUAL FUND ITSELF.

UM, WHICH, UH, YOU CAN SAY PROS AND CONS ABOUT THAT.

IT'S, UH, UH, CREATING ANOTHER CHECKING ACCOUNT.

UM, WHETHER YOU CAN I IDENTIFY FUNDS THAT GO INTO THAT JUST TO BE SPENT ON A CORPORATE JACKSON COUNTY OR IT MIGHT TIE YOUR HANDS OF THAT TOO.

SO I DON'T HAVE AN OPINION ON THAT.

MY OPINION IS MORE ON THE SECOND PART OF IT.

DIRECTING THE COUNTY EXECUTIVE AND COUNTY ADMINISTRATION TO DEVELOP POLICIES AND PROCEDURES FOR THE ADMINISTRATION OF SAID FUND.

UM, LIKE I MENTIONED BEFORE, IT'S UH, UH, IT'S NOT APPROPRIATE LANGUAGE TO HAVE A DIRECTING A RESOLUTION DIRECTING THE COUNTY EXECUTIVE TO DEVELOP POLICIES AND PROCEDURE.

THAT'S WHAT THIS BODY DOES IS ORDINANCES.

THEY PASS ORDINANCES AND, UH, THE ADMINISTRATION EXECUTIVE FOLLOWS ORDINANCE, FOLLOWS THOSE, THOSE COUNTY LAWS.

UH, BUT IF THERE'S SOME SORT OF POLICY PROCEDURES THAT, THAT THIS BODY WANTS TO DEVELOP ABOUT UNINCORPORATED JACKSON, JACKSON, UNINCORPORATED JACKSON COUNTY, UM, I'M DEFINITELY WILLING TO COLLABORATE WITH THEM AND, AND HAVE THOSE BROUGHT TO THIS BODY AS ORDINANCES TO PUT INTO COUNTY CODE FOR THOSE POLICIES.

BUT, UH, IT'S NOT APPROPRIATE WITH DIFFERENT BRANCHES OF THE GOVERNMENT TO DIRECT ONE BODY TO DO THE OTHER.

UH, THIS BODY DIRECTS THINGS TO DO BY ORDINANCE, NOT BY RESOLUTION.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? MOTION FOR ROLL CALL.

VOTE.

UM, COUNTY EXECUTIVE, YOU HAVE STATED THAT, UM, WHILE YOU'RE WILLING TO COLLABORATE WITH US AND MOVE IN THIS DIRECTION, IT IS NOT THE CASE THAT IT IS CUSTOMARY FOR THIS BODY TO INSTRUCT ADMINISTRATION ON HOW TO PROCEED WITH CREATING POLICIES AND PROCEDURES.

IS THAT CORRECT? THAT THAT'S CORRECT.

AND LET'S BE REAL CLEAR ABOUT THIS.

A A A A NO VOTE ON THIS IS NOT SAYING NO TO UNINCORPORATED JACKSON COUNTY.

WE'RE TALKING ABOUT POLICY, PROCEDURE, DIFFERENT BODIES OF GOVERNMENT AND HOW YOU DIRECT ONE THE OTHER, UM, YOU, YOU, YOU, IT JUST, THERE'S NO LEGAL AUTHORITY TO DIRECT THIS.

THIS ORDINANCE WILL HAVE THIS RESOLUTION, NOT AN ORDINANCE.

THE RESOLUTION WILL HAVE NO TEETH AND YOU CAN'T REQUIRE THE COUNTY EXECUTIVE, COUNTY ADMINISTRATION TO DEVELOP POLICIES AND PROCEDURES.

UM, I I WANNA MAKE SURE THAT EVERYONE UNDERSTANDS THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT WE SHOULDN'T BE HELPING UNINCORPORATED JACKSON COUNTY.

WE ALWAYS DO.

DOESN'T MEAN THAT ESTABLISHING A SPECIFIC FUND, UH, FOR UNINCORPORATED JACKSON COUNTY ISN'T A GREAT IDEA.

I'D HAVE TO HAVE A COMMENT ON THAT.

UM, BUT THE OTHER PART OF IT, OF THE, IT'S IMPORTANT, THE LANGUAGE THAT WE'RE PUTTING IN HERE AND I THOUGHT WE'D HAD IT TAKEN CARE OF.

I THINK LEGISLATOR SMITH HAD SAID HE WAS GONNA FINE TUNE THAT.

UH, WE'RE, WE'RE GETTING IN, IN A SLIPPERY SLOPE WHERE A RESOLUTION COMES ACROSS DIRECTING ANOTHER BRANCH OF GOVERNMENT TO DO SOMETHING.

THE OTHER BRANCH OF GOVERNMENT DOES NOT HAVE TO FOLLOW THAT.

AND I DON'T WANT PEOPLE INCORPORATED JACKSON COUNTY TO SEE SOMETHING COMING HERE AND EXPECTING SOMETHING TO COME OUT OF SOMEWHERE WHERE IT IS NOT APPROPRIATE TO DO.

DISCUSSION.

SO THE, THE PREDICATE FOR THIS ACTION IS THAT WE DEVELOP A FORMAL AGREEMENT TO WORK IN COLLABORATION WITH OUR PARK SYSTEMS. I THINK THIS IS SOMETHING WE SHOULD DO BROADLY.

UH, I THINK IT'S JUST THE IDEA TO START WITH KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI PARK, SINCE THEY'RE PROBABLY ONE OF THE OLDEST PARK SYSTEMS IN THE STATE, UH, GIVES US SOME, SOME LANE TO DO A LITTLE BIT MORE COLLABORATION.

OBVIOUSLY IT'S, UM, UP TO THE EXECUTIVE AND ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF TO DO THE WORK ON THAT END, BUT, UH, IT, IT AT LEAST GIVES THE RECOMMENDATION THAT WE COLLABORATE INSTEAD OF DUPLICATE.

UM, SO THAT'S THE OPPORTUNITY HERE.

QUESTION FOR THE YES.

LEGISLATOR SMITH FOR THE COUNTY EXECUTIVE.

SO IS THIS, SINCE IT'S DIRECTING A, I I THINK WE'RE AUTHORIZING AN MOU.

HAVE WE SEEN THE MOUI? THIS IS NEWS TO ME.

I, I, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THIS ISSUE IS.

I AM ALWAYS FOR COLLABORATING WITH OUR, OUR FRIENDS AND OTHER GOVERNMENT JURISDICTIONS.

UM, AND I, I DEFINITELY WOULD, I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S A SPECIFIC DUPLICATIVE PROCESS THAT WE'RE DOING THAT WE NEED TO GET WITH KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI PARKS AND REC.

BUT, UH, I, I DEFINITELY AM OPEN TO THAT.

I, BUT I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THIS.

I THINK BUT TO YOUR POINT, UH, AUTHORIZE AN ACCOUNT EXECUTIVE TO INTRODUCE A MEMBER UNDERSTANDING, I THINK IS THE PROCESS THAT THIS BODY WOULD DO TO, UH, GIVE SOME DIRECTION ON WHAT YOU WOULD LIKE DONE.

YEAH, BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT, WHAT THIS DOES.

YEAH, I I JUST DOUBLE CHECK THE LANGUAGE.

THIS AUTHORIZES YOU TO EXECUTE IT, WHICH MEANS YOU COULD GO ACROSS THE STREET, COME UP WITH SOMETHING YOU LIKE, AND YOU'RE NOT HAVING TO COME BACK TO US TO CHECK IT.

I, I PREFER TO HOLD, UM, GIVEN THAT WE DON'T HAVE A MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING TO AUTHORIZE THE COUNTY EXECUTIVE TO EXECUTE AT THIS POINT.

UM, SO I'LL, I'LL, I'LL JUST SAY I'LL MOVE TO HOLD SECOND.

IT'S BEEN MOVED AND SECONDED TO HOLD RESOLUTION.
