we
uh provide the moral obligation ernie
it's in our pack
right that we authorize signature that
moral obligation
project
i don't think i have enough information
okay that will be and that'll be two
essentials i'm gonna say that also
because i don't get good enough from
some of the partners
environment studies all right so
all those things yes
all right second here's the resolution
okay i'd like to make a motion that four
to supervisors and russell county hereby
agreed
to appropriate one million dollars to
currently unannounced
industrial project to be held for the
purpose of giving
uh unnamed industry alone
together with the additional project
local uh
participant localities subject to the
finalization of a revenue sharing
agreement
among the participants and localities
uh do you want to post extension please
five guesses and i'm going to abstain
also
ram chair at this time i'd like to make
a motion to have the proposed
transactions
and related contracts be reviewed
by outside special counsel these are
very complicated transactions with many
parts that need to be carefully reviewed
before final commitment
i further propose that we engage the
firm gentry lock
as special counsel because we already
have a connection with the firm
and they are in close proximity and we
already have this connection
to this extent that there aren't any
procurement
issues i also move that we expedite this
process
i also move that normal procurement
procedures
should be suspended for this engagement
oh gosh i'm so sorry you might need to
turn me up okay
i'm making a motion to have the proposed
transactions
and related contracts be reviewed
by outside special counsel these are
very
complicated transactions with many parts
that need to be carefully reviewed
before final commitment i further
propose that we engage the firm
gentry lock as special counsel
because we already have a connection
with the firm
they are already in close proximity and
we already have this connection
to this extent there aren't any there
should not be any procurement
issues i also move that we expedite this
process
i also move that normal procurement
procedure should be suspended for this
engagement
is this something that you all can do or
well i think we need to ask they're
comfortable with these
i mean obviously and again i don't know
that i really want to be giving you too
much advice
as it relates to an announced industry
out here
there are some novel projects but i do
just my perspective i don't know that
especially when we're working with other
localities such as
was mentioned in the motion i think you
have to be careful bringing in
people who are not familiar and have
those relationships i mean
if the board decides to do this and
that's that's fine
but i i i feel uncomfortable
discussing this in open session at this
point
all right all those in favor of this
motion
uh those opposed
right thank you
all right anything else
all that said are there any matters
presented before the vote
do you have anything you want to talk
about no
thank you yes man i just have a couple
things please
uh i had had lonzo provide you all a
bridge name and resolution
uh i have been approached by
uh quite a few veterans uh
there in the swords creek area the
bridge there uh
that when you first turn into miller
creek there the concrete bridge
they have asked me to present to the
board to
and we have got proposed uh
you want to take some donations up as
far as having names
uh erected on a particular sign in a
piece of property there that's owned by
a resident
but i want to get this bridge as a
veterans memorial bridge
they had talked to me about doing it as
a particular
military but then after we had more
discussion
we want to designate this bridge as a
memorial bridge for all people that
serve
in this great nation so
i want to make a motion that uh that we
bring past this resolution to ask
i'd like to ask the board to support
this for to name that as a veterans
memorial bridge
there the first bridge is to turn into
military
you all have that document there before
you and lonzo has the information for
his location
right route
i made a motion to i'd like to make a
motion that we passed this to name that
as a veterans memorial bridge

to present it to be
for approval oh okay all right all those
in favor of naming this event
three egypt military
you want to post i've got
uh just one more thing uh the senior
league lights
down on the field at home acre uh
there's a bunch of them out i know the
kids are not able to play but
they have asked me to request that maybe
since you know we have some downtime and
stuff if you take a look at that lonzo
discretionary well that ain't my
district that's carl
can i i'll make a motion
hey
well no thank you one other one other
thing i had a lady that had called me
and asked that if we could designate a
day
uh to support our police and first
responders
something that the county would enact uh
as an appreciation
for their services and what they do in
our community in our county
i said it'd be nice if we could have
sheriff die maybe attend
uh maybe maybe the next meeting or
something like that and maybe it's
before we consider
taking this up and designating a
particular day
to ask people to put in a blue light
and support our law enforcement they're
really under attack in these days that
we live
in it's hard to find them they want to
have a job they want to do this kind of
work anymore
and i think that we absolutely need to
show them that we support them and our
first responders in
in you know times living in but uh
i won't even bring it for emotion madam
chair lady we want to
look at a day or maybe a designated time
or a day that you
think would be good for us to do that or
maybe get with county administrator
pick out a particular time that we could
do a designation
but i would like to do something and
maybe bring it into the next meeting
all right thank you i appreciate that
thank you
adjourn and set our next meeting it will
be
if i get my calendar
november the 2nd
there may be a need for a special call
meeting but there's no
