ALRIGHT. THANK YOU ALL. OKAY, WITH THAT, WE'LL MOVE INTO THE PUBLIC COMMENTS. MISS KNOTT. OH, ACTUALLY, CLIFF, YOU GOTTA BE SIGNED UP REMOTE.

NOPE. OKAY. MISS KNOTT, ANYBODY SIGNED UP? YES, SIR.

MR. CHAIRMAN. CONNIE. LEONARD. OKAY. MS. LEONARD, IF YOU WOULD STATE YOUR ADDRESS WHEN YOU COME UP, PLEASE. MY NAME IS CONNIE LEONARD AT 14964 PLEASANT GROVE DRIVE, DISPUTANTA.

GOOD EVENING, MR. CHAIRMAN. MR. VICE CHAIRMAN, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, MISS PUDLOW AND MR. KINGSBURY. I'M HERE TONIGHT SPEAKING ABOUT THE LEASE RENEWAL PROCESS FOR THE CENTRAL WELLNESS CENTER.

I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE THE BOARD AWARE THE PROCESS IS BROKEN IN OCTOBER OF 2022.

THE BOARD APPROVED THE NEW COMMUNITY USE FACILITY'S POLICY.

THEY INCLUDED ESTABLISHING A NEW LEASE RATE OF $3 A SQUARE FOOT FOR USE OF SPACE AT COMMUNITY COUNTY FACILITIES.

EXCUSE ME, AND THIS NEW RATE WOULD APPLY TO SPACE AT THE CENTRAL WELLNESS CENTER LEASE HOLDER.

ORGANIZATIONS SHOULD HAVE RECEIVED SOME TYPE OF OFFICIAL NOTICE OF THE NEW APPROVED POLICY IN 2022.

ORIGINAL LEASE HOLDERS WERE NEVER MADE AWARE OF THIS UPDATED POLICY, WHICH INCLUDED 60, INCLUDED A SIGNIFICANT RATE INCREASE AND

[00:05:03]

WOULD HAVE AN EFFECT FOR FUTURE LEASE RENEWALS.

HAVING THIS INFORMATION WOULD HAVE AFFORDED ORGANIZATIONS AN ADVANCED OPPORTUNITY TO PLAN FOR BUDGETS THAT INCLUDED THIS NEW OBLIGATION.

I BELIEVE FOR COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES, LANDLORDS ARE REQUIRED TO PROVIDE A SUFFICIENT NOTICE TO TENANTS ABOUT RATE INCREASES, SO THEY HAVE AMPLE OPPORTUNITY TO TO PLAN FOR SUCH INCREASE.

IN AT LEAST ONE INSTANCE, AN ORGANIZATION NOTIFIED THREE BUSINESS DAYS PRIOR TO HAVING TO DECLARE THEIR INTENT TO RENEW THEIR LEASE AT THE WELLNESS CENTER, THAT THE NEW LEASE RATE WOULD BE IN EFFECT.

AND OH, BY THE WAY, HERE'S THE COPY OF THE 2022 POLICY GOVERNING THAT RATE INCREASE.

THEY WERE TOLD THAT THE SHORT NOTICE WAS NECESSARY SO THE COUNTY COULD MEET THE REQUIREMENT TO ANNOUNCE A PUBLIC HEARING AND GAIN BOARD APPROVAL, SO THE LEASE COULD BE SIGNED BY MARCH THE 24TH.

I HOPE THE BOARD WILL SEE. THIS CURRENT PROCESS HAS BEEN A BIT UNREASONABLE FOR ORGANIZATIONS WHOSE ONLY MISSION IS TO DO GOOD WORK FOR THE CITIZENS OF OUR GREAT COUNTY.

YOUR AGENDA TONIGHT INCLUDES THE REQUEST TO APPROVE ADVERTISING PUBLIC NOTICES FOR THOSE LEASE RENEWALS FOR THOSE 3 ORGANIZATIONS.

IT IS MY HOPE THAT THIS PROCESS, AS THIS PROCESS MOVES FORWARD, THE BOARD WILL CONSIDER SOME FINANCIAL RELIEF FOR THESE ORGANIZATIONS AS THEY ARE JUST NOW RECEIVING NOTICE OF THIS OBLIGATION, WHICH IS A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON THEIR NEAR-TERM BUDGETS.

THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK ON THIS MATTER.

THANK YOU, MA'AM. THANK YOU. OKAY. ANYONE ELSE SIGNED UP? NO, SIR. MR.. ALL RIGHT. I'LL OPEN IT TO THE FLOOR.

PLEASE COME UP. STATE YOUR NAME AND YOUR ADDRESS.

MY NAME IS JOHN BUKOWSKI. I LIVE AT 18890 HALIFAX ROAD IN CARSON.

I WAS HERE AT THE LAST BOARD MEETING TO REQUEST THE RESOLUTION AGAINST THE ILLEGAL EARLY VOTING ON THE GERRYMANDERING REDISTRICTING REFERENDUM THAT WE'RE NOW IN THE MIDDLE OF VOTING ON. AND NOW I'D LIKE TO TALK TO THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS ABOUT PASSING A RESOLUTION AGAINST THIS ENTIRE REFERENDUM, AS IT IS NOT FAIR OR JUST TO THE CITIZENS OF PRINCE GEORGE'S COUNTY.

AND WHY IS IT UNFAIR TO OUR COUNTY, THE AREA THAT IS NORMALLY CALLED NORTHERN VIRGINIA, THE COUNTIES OF ARLINGTON, FAIRFAX, LOUDOUN AND PRINCE WILLIAM, AND THE CITIES OF ALEXANDRIA, FAIRFAX FALLS CHURCH, MANASSAS AND MANASSAS PARK MAKE UP APPROXIMATELY 27% OF THE POPULATION OF VIRGINIA, AND THEY CURRENTLY HAVE 3 CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICTS IN THIS AREA.

UNDER OUR CURRENT NONPARTIZAN CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT PROCESS THAT WAS PASSED IN 2020 BY 67% OF THE OF OUR POPULATION.

UNDER THE DEMOCRATS ONE PARTY GERRYMANDERING PROCESS, THIS AREA WOULD PICK UP 5 DISTRICTS, WHICH WOULD THEN MEAN THAT 27% OF THE POPULATION WOULD CONTROL 45.5% OF THE DISTRICTS OF OUR STATE.

I DON'T SEE HOW THAT'S FAIR. ON TOP OF THAT, THE THE THE RURAL COUNTIES THAT WOULD BE ATTACHED TO THOSE FIVE DISTRICTS WOULD NOT HAVE AN EQUAL BALANCE OF VOTERS.

SO THERE WOULD BE MORE DEMOCRATIC VOTERS IN THOSE REGIONS THAN THE VOTERS IN THE RURAL COUNTIES.

SO THE RURAL COUNTIES VOTES WOULD NEVER COUNT.

SO AGAIN, THE RURAL COUNTIES AND THOSE THOSE DISTRICTS WOULD NEVER HAVE A VOTE FOR THE NEXT 6 PLUS YEARS.

AND AT 5 OF THE 6 DISTRICTS THAT THAT THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT BEING DISTRICT DEMOCRATIC DISTRICTS WOULD BE DONE THE SAME WAY.

THEY WOULD HAVE A BUNCH OF DEMOCRATS IN RURAL AREAS, AND THEN THEY WOULD ATTACH RURAL COUNTIES TO THOSE THAT WOULD HAVE NO VOTES.

AND DISTRICT 4 FALLS INTO ONE OF THOSE. THAT'S WHERE WE LIVE.

DEMOCRATS WANT TO ADD OTHER COUNTIES TO DISTRICT 4.

THE ISSUE IS THAT WE DON'T KNOW WHAT DISTRICT 4 IS GOING TO LOOK LIKE, LOOK LIKE, BECAUSE THE AMENDMENT ONLY STATES THAT IT GIVES THE DEMOCRATS THE RIGHT TO MAKE CHANGES AS MANY TIMES AS THEY WANT. AND RIGHT NOW THEY'VE PRESENTED 2 DIFFERENT MAPS OVER THE OVER THE LAST 30 DAYS THAT SHOW 2 DIFFERENT DISTRICT 4'S, WHICH AGAIN WOULD. EACH ONE OF THEM WOULD INCREASE THE BLUE VOTING AND AND DECREASE OUR OUR VOTING OR TAKE OUR VOTING AWAY. AND IT WOULD EVEN PROBABLY ELIMINATE MCCLELLAN AS OUR REPRESENTATIVE.

BECAUSE IF THE IF THE MAP THAT TAKES THE THE WESTERN COUNTIES OUT HAS A, A DEMOCRAT REPRESENTATIVE THAT'S GOING TO LOSE HIS

[00:10:08]

DISTRICT AND HE WILL BE RUNNING AGAINST MCCLELLAN AND HE'LL PROBABLY BEAT MCCLELLAN.

AND THEN WE. AND THEN WE WON'T HAVE REPRESENTATIVE ALL IN OUR COUNTY, DEMOCRAT, REPUBLICAN OR ANYBODY FOR 6 YEARS.

RIGHT. THANK YOU SIR. ANYONE ELSE? OKAY. SEEING NO MOVEMENT, I'LL CLOSE PUBLIC COMMENTS AND WE'LL MOVE TO THE CONSENT AGENDA. EVERYBODY HAS HAD A CHANCE TO LOOK AT IT.

[D. Consent Agenda]

DO I HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE OR IS THERE ANYTHING NEED TO BE PULLED? MR. CHAIR, I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE CONSENT AGENDA AS PRESENTED.

OKAY. I HAVE A MOTION TO HAVE A SECOND. SECOND.

I HAVE A SECOND. FURTHER DISCUSSION? HEARING NONE.

ROLL CALL. MR. WEBB. YES. MR. COX. YES. MR. HAMMEL.

YES. MR. PHILIP PUGH. YES. MR. FORD PUGH. YES.

OKAY. WITH THAT, WE'LL MOVE TO SUPERVISOR COMMENTS, AND I'M GOING TO START TONIGHT ON MY LEFT TO MR.

[E. Comments]

FORD PUGH. THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR. I APPRECIATE EVERYONE COMING OUT TONIGHT.

APPRECIATE MR. BUKOWSKI AND MISS LEONARD'S COMMENTS TONIGHT.

I DIDN'T MENTION IT IN MY INVOCATION TONIGHT, BUT I HOPE GOD WATCHES OVER US IN THIS REFERENDUM IF IT GOES OUT ALL THE WAY TO APRIL 21ST. I THINK IT'S A HOT TOPIC ISSUE AND I DON'T AGREE WITH IT, BUT I DON'T THINK THAT MATTERS.

BUT I HOPE EVERYBODY'S VOICE IS HEARD DURING THE REFERENDUM AND WHATEVER THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE DOES WITH IT, I'LL HAVE TO LIVE WITH, BUT I. I DON'T LIKE THE PRACTICE.

I DON'T THINK US GETTING INVOLVED IN PARTIZAN GERRYMANDERING TO OFFSET OTHER.

WHAT OTHER STATES HAVE DONE IS A GOOD PRACTICE TO GET INTO.

SO I THINK THAT'S ALL I'VE GOT.

ALL RIGHT. THANKS, SIR. MR.. WEBB. THANK YOU ALL FOR COMING OUT.

AND I'M GOING TO SHORTEN IT BY JUST SAYING I AGREE WITH MR. FORD. YOU JUST SAID I DON'T THINK WE BELONG IN IT.

DON'T AGREE WITH IT. I SEE IT PLAYS OUT.

I'M SORRY. ALL RIGHT. MR. HAMMEL, ECHO THE PRIOR COMMENTS.

WE'VE ALSO GOT A COUPLE OF OTHER THINGS COMING THROUGH GENERAL ASSEMBLY THAT I THINK ARE GOING TO HAVE AN IMPACT ON WHETHER OR NOT OUR LOCALITY CAN DETERMINE WHAT WE WOULD LIKE FOR OUR CITIZENS AND FOR OUR COUNTY. AND SO DEFINITELY STAY PLUGGED IN.

SOME OF THESE THINGS ARE GOING TO CONFERENCES, WHICH ARE A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT THAN COMMITTEES.

SO I THINK SOMETIMES THESE THINGS GO IN AND THEY COME OUT REAL FAST RIGHT THERE AT THE END. SO DEFINITELY KEEP REACHING OUT TO YOUR REPRESENTATIVES AT THE STATE LEVEL. I KNOW WE ARE. AND LET'S, LET'S HOPE AT LEAST WE'VE GOT A COUPLE MORE THINGS THAT WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO GET TAKEN OFF BEFORE THEY GO THROUGH.

SO THAT'S ALL I HAVE, SIR. THANK YOU SIR. MR..

PHILIP. I'M GOING TO ECHO EVERYBODY ELSE'S COMMENTS TONIGHT.

I THINK WE'RE KIND OF ALL ON THE SAME PAGE AS THIS BOARD AND WHAT WE STAND UP FOR AND WHAT WE BELIEVE IN.

OUT OF THE PUBLIC COMMENTS TONIGHT. MISS LEONARD, PLEASE REACH OUT.

I'D LIKE TO SEE IF I CAN HELP YOU IN ANY WAY WITH YOUR WITH YOUR LEASE AGREEMENT AND SEE WHAT I CAN DO FOR YOU ON THAT.

AND THAT'S ALL I GOT AT THIS TIME. OKAY. ALL RIGHT.

AND AGAIN, I WILL ECHO THOUGHTS, BUT THE THING I WILL SAY TO EVERYBODY IN THIS ROOM, NO MATTER WHICH SIDE OF THE COIN YOU COME DOWN, PLEASE VOTE. YOU HAVE TO HAVE YOUR VOICE HEARD.

SO TAKE TIME AND GO VOTE. OTHER THAN THAT, AGAIN, THANK EVERYBODY FOR COMING OUT.

WE'RE INTO SOME BEAUTIFUL WEATHER, BUT I THINK WE'RE GETTING SPOILED.

I THINK WE GOT ANOTHER COLD SNAP HEADING OUR WAY, SO BE PREPARED.

BUT AGAIN, THANK EVERYBODY FOR COMING OUT. ALRIGHT.

AND I JUST CONTINUE TO SUPPORT YOU ALL AND EVERYTHING WE DO AS A AS AN AGENCY.

AS WE MENTIONED LAST MONTH, OUR FOCUS WAS CONTINUING TO BE WORKING ON WORK ORDERS AND POWER REPAIRS.

[00:15:05]

CHAIRMAN COX, THE AREA HEADQUARTERS WAS ON GOLF COURSE ROAD TODAY.

GOLF COURSE DRIVE FROM PUMP HOUSE ROAD TO ROBIN ROAD IS ON OUR FY 2017 PAVING SCHEDULE, BUT IT'S PENDING APPROVAL.

VICE CHAIRMAN PUGH, REGARDING POLE RUN ROAD. THE PRINCE GEORGE AREA AREA HEADQUARTERS WAS ALSO ON THAT ROAD TOO.

AND FIX THOSE POTHOLES THERE. MR. HAMMEL. YOUR EMAIL CONCERNING THE CITIZENS CONCERNS ON SIEBERT ROAD.

THAT HAS ALSO BEEN ADDRESSED. AND MR. PUGH. YOUR EMAIL CONCERNING THE SHARED SHARED THE ROAD REQUESTS.

NOT ALL LOCATIONS MET THE CRITERIA. THEY HAD ADEQUATE SIGHT DISTANCE.

I WAS SEEING YOUR EMAIL THAT WHICH ONES ARE WARRANTED.

I'M JUST WAITING FOR CRYSTAL TO JUST GIVE ME THAT FINAL YAY OR NAY.

THANK YOU SIR. PAUL HENSON, OUR LAND USE ENGINEER ASKED ME TO BRIEF YOU ON THE UPCOMING RAILROAD CROSSING CLOSURE BY NORFOLK SOUTHERN.

THEY ARE SCHEDULED FROM MARCH 16TH THROUGH MARCH 25TH.

DISTRICT TRAFFIC HAS ALREADY APPROVED THE DETOUR ROUTES.

THE CROSSING INTERSECTIONS INTERSECT WITH ROUTE 460 AT THE FOLLOWING LOCATIONS.

ROUTE 624 AT ALDEAN ROAD, ROUTE 625 ERARD ROAD, ROUTE 6618 ROBIN ROAD AND ROUTE 629 RIVERS ROAD.

AND I BELIEVE YOU ALL ALREADY HAVE GOT THAT MESSAGE, BUT IF NOT, I'LL MAKE SURE MS. PUDLOW GETS IT. SO JUST PASS IT OUT. AS ALWAYS, SCHEDULES ARE ALWAYS SUBJECT TO CHANGE, AND WE'LL NOTIFY YOU FOR ANY ADJUSTMENTS THAT OCCUR. LASTLY, WE LOOK FORWARD TO THE CITIZENS ACADEMY EVENT ON THE 19TH.

THANK YOU AGAIN FOR YOUR TIME AND YOUR CONTINUED PARTNERSHIP.

SO WITH THAT, DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? HAVE I GOT QUESTIONS? COMMENTS? GOT AN EMAIL TODAY FROM A CITIZEN ABOUT THWEATT DRIVE.

THWEATT. THWEATT T H W E A T T. PROBABLY CLOSER TO GOLF COURSE.

SAME THING. POTHOLES. AND THEN THE CURVE IN TAVERN ROAD NEAR SOUTH ELEMENTARY.

IT'S BEEN FULL OF WATER NOW. IT'S NOT. BUT A LOT OF THE ROAD'S BEEN CUT OUT.

SO IF YOU CAN TAKE A LOOK AT THAT. YES, SIR. THANK YOU.

ANYBODY ELSE? ALRIGHT. I GOT ONE AREA. THANK YOU FOR GOLF COURSE DRIVE HARWOOD ROAD POTHOLES.

AND WE'VE ALSO GOT A PROBLEM WHICH YOU ALL WORKED ON LAST YEAR.

IT GOT BETTER, BUT I THINK IT'S GOTTEN WORSE AGAIN RIGHT THERE. WHEN YOU TURN OFF A FOUR 60 AND GO JUST PAST GOLF COURSE AND START THE FIRST TURN, WATER COLLECTS ON THE INSIDE OF THAT CURVE. IF THE ROAD IS CAMBERED THE WRONG WAY SO THE WATER HAS NOWHERE TO RUN, IT'S JUST IT PUDDLES THERE AND GETS WORSE AND WORSE WITH THE RAIN.

COULD YOU GET SOMEBODY TO TAKE A LOOK AT THAT AGAIN AND SEE IF WE NEED TO FILL IN SOME MORE, OR WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE TO GET THAT WATER OFF THE ROAD RIGHT THERE, SIR.

OKAY, SIR. I'LL EMAIL YOU ALL WITH THAT OR AARON WILL BRIEF YOU ON NEXT TIME.

ALL RIGHT. WELL, THANK YOU, SIR, AND GOOD LUCK GOING BACK TO ASHLAND.

WE'LL MISS YOU. YES, SIR. THANK YOU. APPRECIATE YOUR TIME WITH US. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. CAN WE GET AN UPDATE ON THE BAXTER ROAD? WITH THE BEAVERS? I KNOW Y'ALL WERE GOING TO LOOK INTO IT A WHILE BACK, BUT DIDN'T KNOW WHATEVER CAME OUT OF THAT. YES.

SO THE CURRENT UPDATE ON THAT ONE, WE WENT THROUGH THE PROCESS OF REACHING OUT TO THE LANDOWNERS AND THEN WE HAVE ALL OUR APPROVALS.

WE'RE STILL WE'RE JUST WAITING ON CRYSTAL AGAIN FOR THAT APPROVAL.

AND WORKING WITH THE WITH THE WITH CENTRAL OFFICE SINCE THEY'RE DOING A SURVEY ON THAT ONE.

SO WE, WE HAVE A GENERAL IDEA OF WHAT MIGHT BE THE PROBLEM AND WHERE IT MIGHT BE, BUT THAT'S ALSO IN THE WORKS, BUT I'LL MAKE SURE THAT YOU GET MORE INFORMATION ON THAT. THANK YOU.

YEP. AGAIN, THANK YOU SIR. THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

YOU TOO. OKAY WITH THAT WE'LL MOVE TO THE ORDER OF BUSINESS.

[G. Order of Business]

ANY QUESTIONS? COMMENTS? NO, SIR. NOT AT THIS TIME.

OKAY, KNOTT. I'LL ASK FOR A MOTION. SO MOVED.

[00:20:01]

I HAVE A MOTION OF A SECOND. SECOND. HAVE A SECOND.

FURTHER DISCUSSION. HEARING NONE. ROLL CALL. MR. WEBB. YES., MR. FORD. YES. MR.. HAMMEL. YES. MR..

PHILIP. YES, MR. COX. YES. AND I'LL BE BY TO SEE YOU.

I'M GONNA SWEETEN THE POT FOR YOUR FIRST 6 PEOPLE.

THANK YOU. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. MOVING TO THE NEXT ITEM.

RESOLUTION. APPROPRIATION TO THE 2025-26 BUDGET FOR THE DCJS.

STATE CRISIS INTERVENTION PROGRAM. MRS. DREWRY.

SIR. GOOD EVENING, MISTER CHAIRMAN. BOARD MEMBERS, MISS PUDLOW, MR. KINGSBURY. MISS DANEHILL, WHO IS ALSO IN THE AUDIENCE THIS EVENING CAME BEFORE THE BOARD IN SEPTEMBER TO APPLY FOR AN SIP GRANT THROUGH THE DEPARTMENT OF CRIMINAL JUSTICE SERVICES.

SHE WAS RECENTLY AWARDED THAT GRANT, AND WE ARE SEEKING AN APPROPRIATION OF THOSE GRANT PROCEEDS IN THE AMOUNT OF $140,794. THERE IS NO LOCAL MATCH FOR THIS GRANT.

THE APPROPRIATION, IF APPROVED, WILL SUPPORT CONTRACTED SERVICES FOR A DEFENSE ATTORNEY, A PART TIME TEMPORARY INTERN, A PART TIME DEPUTY SHERIFF, INCLUDING SOME SUPPLIES.

SOME COSTS FOR STAFF TO ATTEND A NATIONAL CONFERENCE.

HOUSING ASSISTANCE FOR PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS. SO WE ARE ASKING FOR AN APPROPRIATION IN THE AMOUNT OF $140,794, AND I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS, AND I'M SURE MISS DANEHILL IS AS WELL.

ANY QUESTIONS? COMMENTS? GOOD. HOW LONG IS THE GRANT GOOD FOR? THIS GRANT? AWARD PERIOD IS FOR ONE YEAR, 15 MONTHS.

SORRY, 2 1 THROUGH 6 30. OKAY. THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? YES, SIR. DOES THIS FUNDING SUPPORT A NEW POSITION OR SUPPLEMENT EXISTING STAFF? IT WOULD SUPPORT A NEW PART TIME TEMPORARY DEPUTY SHERIFF AND THEN AN INTERN.

AND THEN IS THERE AN EXPECTATION AT THE END OF THIS THAT THE COUNTY WOULD EVENTUALLY PICK UP THAT SALARY? I'M NOT POSITIVE. MISS DANEHILL, I KNOW THAT MOST GRANTS ARE DESIGNED TO BE A STOPGAP OR TEMPORARY IN NATURE TO IMPROVE OR EXPAND AN EXISTING SERVICE. SOME ARE ISSUED WITH THE UNDERSTANDING OF CONTINUATION FUNDING FROM THE LOCALITY IF THE GRANT IS NOT RE-AWARDED.

THERE ARE SOME OPPORTUNITIES TO APPLY FOR GRANTS TO RETURN OR CONTINUATION GRANTS, BUT I DON'T KNOW THAT THEY'RE GUARANTEED.

OKAY. THANK YOU. OTHER QUESTIONS? IF NOT, I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION.

I'M SORRY, I APOLOGIZE. JUST TOUCHING ON THE QUESTION ABOUT THE CONTINUATION OF THE POSITION.

I'VE ALREADY BEEN CONTACTED BY THE GRANT OFFERING TO DOUBLE THE TIMELINE FOR THIS GRANT, BUT THEY'RE ASKING THE FEDS FOR OFFICIAL APPROVAL, SO THAT HAS NOT YET BEEN OFFICIALLY APPROVED.

BUT BECAUSE OF SO LITTLE OTHER PROGRAMS APPLYING TO THIS GRANT AND US TAKING THE OPPORTUNITY TO APPLY FOR FUNDING AND TO HELP OUR PROGRAM IMPROVE, THEY OFFERED ALREADY, THEY SAID, WOULD YOU LIKE TO DOUBLE THE TIMELINE? AND IF SO, WOULD YOU LIKE SOME MORE MONEY AS WELL? SO IT WAS A IT WAS A NICE CONVERSATION TO HAVE, BUT THAT WILL HOPEFULLY ADD ON ANOTHER 15 MONTHS TO THIS GRANT.

OKAY, AWESOME. YEAH. ANYTIME WE GET MORE MONEY AND MORE TIME.

ALL RIGHT. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? IF NOT, I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION.

MR. CHAIR, I MAKE A MOTION. I HAVE A MOTION OF A SECOND.

THIS WILL JUST OFFSET FUTURE BUDGETARY REQUESTS. OKAY.

QUESTIONS? COMMENTS? THERE'S NO LOCAL MATCH, SIR.

3RD PARTY. MS. BILLING AND COLLECTION SERVICES TO MSMCMS MANAGEMENT AND CONSULTANTS.

GOOD EVENING, MR. CHAIR. MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, MISS PUDLOW, MR. KINGSBURY, ALL ASSEMBLED THIS EVENING. WE ARE REQUESTING AUTHORIZATION OR AWARD OF CONTRACT TO MSMC FOR MS AND COLLECTING BILLING AND COLLECTION SERVICES.

AS YOU KNOW, WE HAD IDENTIFIED SOME CHALLENGES WITH OUR CURRENT SYSTEM DUE TO TECHNICAL MATTERS AND STAFFING AND INCREASED LOAD, AND WE FEEL THAT MOVING FORWARD.

HIRING A 3RD PARTY BILLER WILL GET US BACK UP TO SPEED AS FAR AS THE MS REVENUE, AND LIKELY WILL INCREASE SOMEWHAT FROM WHAT WE HAVE HAD IN THE PAST.

LAUREN FROM MS MC IS HERE. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OF ME.

ANY QUESTIONS? MR. CHAIR, I GOT A QUICK QUESTION.

YES, SIR. WHAT'S THE AVERAGE YOU ARE LOOKING TO HIT? YOU KNOW, 50, 60%. I MEAN, WHAT'S THE IDEAL? BECAUSE I KNOW WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE AT 100%, BUT I KNOW Y'ALL PROBABLY HAVE YOUR MARGINS THAT YOU SHOOT FOR.

UNFORTUNATELY, NOT 100%. WE FEEL THAT YOU SHOULD BE GENERATING AROUND $435 PER TRANSPORT.

WE CALL THAT CASH PER TRANSPORT. THAT'S TYPICALLY A BETTER GAUGE.

WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT PERCENTAGES, THERE'S A LOT OF DIFFERENT FACTORS THAT PLAY INTO THAT.

RATES BEING 1 OF THEM. YOU CAN HAVE ONE COUNTY CHARGING MUCH LESS THAN ANOTHER, BUT THEIR COLLECTION RATE BE HIGHER.

OKAY. BASED OFF OF THE INFORMATION AND I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'VE GOT OUR CALL LOGS AND ALL THAT STUFF YET, BUT WHAT, WHAT ARE YOU APPROXIMATELY THINKING ON REVENUE? WE ARE ESTIMATING AROUND $1.1 MILLION. OKAY. YOU TRANSPORT.

2576 ANNUALLY. AND THEN OUT OF THAT, 1.1 IS 4.75.

THAT'S CORRECT. OKAY. THAT'S ALL I'VE GOT AT THIS TIME, MR. CHAIR. ALL THE QUESTIONS. I DO HAVE ONE, MR. CHAIR, IF I WOULD.

I KNOW THERE'S A DIFFERENTIATION BETWEEN CLAIMS GOING FORWARD VERSUS THE OLD AR PIECE.

I THINK IN THE MODEL IT'S $8 PER GOING FORWARD.

IS THAT SOMETHING THAT IS THE $8 COME OUT OF THE CLAIM? IS THAT SOMETHING THAT IS BILLED DIRECTLY BACK TO THE COUNTY? I THINK WE MIGHT HAVE A SIGNIFICANT BACKLOG WE'RE TRYING TO CATCH UP FROM.

SO JUST KIND OF UNDERSTANDING THE IMPACT OF THAT. YES.

AND LET ME CLARIFY A LITTLE BIT MORE. WHEN WE TALK ABOUT A BACKLOG, ANY CLAIM THAT HAS NOT ALREADY BEGUN THE PROCESS.

SO IF IT'S JUST SITTING IN THE SYSTEM AND HASN'T STARTED THE PROCESS, WE DON'T CALL THAT OLD AR.

[00:30:05]

SO THAT WOULD BE JUST THE NORMAL 4.75%. ANY CLAIM THAT HAS ALREADY STARTED THE BILLING PROCESS FROM THE PREVIOUS PROCESS.

THAT IS WHAT WE CALL OLD AR AND OBVIOUSLY THERE'S A LITTLE BIT OF A COMPLIANCE YOU KNOW, HAZARD THERE.

SO WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE FOLLOWING THE PROCESS AND ABIDING TO OUR COMPLIANCE RULES AND REGULATIONS.

SO IT IS STILL THE 4.75 WITH AN ADDITIONAL $8 ON TOP OF THAT FOR THOSE CLAIMS, JUST BECAUSE IT TAKES A LITTLE BIT MORE WORK.

SO THAT WOULD JUST BE INVOICED, JUST LIKE YOUR REGULAR PERCENTAGE WOULD BE.

AND THE OTHER QUESTION I HAD IS, IS THERE ANY ADDITIONAL HARDWARE OR SOFTWARE COSTS LIKE XUL INTERFACE FEES OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT, THAT WE MIGHT HAVE TO INCUR AS A PART OF MAKING SURE WE'RE REPORTING TO YOU GUYS EFFECTIVELY, NO ADDITIONAL COST. OKAY. THE PRICING THAT WE GAVE WAS ALL INCLUSIVE.

THANK YOU. THAT'S ALL I HAVE. MR. CHAIRMAN. OTHER QUESTIONS? DO WE HAVE A DO WE HAVE A PROPOSED NUMBER OF BACKLOG DOLLARS THAT WE CAN RECLAIM.

AT THE TIME OF OUR MEETING A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO.

I DON'T KNOW THAT YOU HAVE A FOR SURE AMOUNT THAT IS IN THE BACKLOG.

I THINK IT'S KIND OF A MIX BETWEEN BACKLOG, OLD AR AND WHAT WE'LL PROBABLY HAVE TO DO IS DURING THE IMPLEMENTATION PROCESS, GO THROUGH THAT AND FIND OUT WHAT WHAT WE THINK IS TRULY WORTH GOING AFTER.

AND AND THEN, YOU KNOW, WE'LL HAVE A BETTER IDEA.

OKAY. THANKS. THAT'S ALL I GOT. OTHER QUESTIONS? COMMENTS. ALL RIGHT, CHIEF. I'M GOING TO ASK OF YOU ONCE THEY DO THEIR DELVE INTO THE BACKLOG AND EVERYTHING THAT YOU REPORT BACK TO US, WHAT WE HAVE AS FAR AS OLD AR AND BACKLOG STUFF, IF YOU WOULD.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT. IF NO OTHER QUESTIONS, I'LL ASK FOR A MOTION, MR. CHAIR. I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE. I HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE. DO I HAVE A SECOND? SECOND. I HAVE A SECOND FOR DISCUSSION. HEARING NONE.

ROLL CALL. MR. COX? YES. MR. PHILIP PUGH. YES, MR. HAMMEL. YES. MR. FORD PUGH. YES. MR. WEBB. YES.

THANK YOU ALL. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ALL RIGHT.

NEXT ITEM IS THE AUTHORITY TO ADVERTISE LEASING A ROOM IN THE CENTRAL WELLNESS CENTER TO THE WOMAN'S CLUB OF PRINCE GEORGE.

MR. KINGSBURY. HI. GOOD EVENING EVERYONE. IF YOU DON'T MIND, I'LL BE PRESENTING THIS EVENING.

GOOD EVENING, CHAIRMAN COX, BOARD MEMBERS MRS AND MR. KINGSBURY. SO TONIGHT, WHAT I'M ASKING FOR IS PERMISSION TO ADVERTISE.

THIS IS GOING TO BE A LEASE WITH BETWEEN US AND THE CENTRAL WELLNESS CENTER TO THE WOMEN'S CLUB OF PRINCE GEORGE.

THEIR LEASE HAS BEEN IN EFFECT SINCE MARCH OF 2019.

IT IS SET TO EXPIRE ON MARCH 24TH OF 2026. WE HAVE REACHED OUT THEY HAVE EXPRESSED AN INTEREST IN RENEWING THEIR LEASE.

AND SO THIS WOULD REQUIRE HOLDING A PUBLIC HEARING UNDER 15 TO 1800.

SO I'M REQUESTING PERMISSION TO ADVERTISE SO WE CAN HAVE A PUBLIC HEARING ON MARCH 24TH TO DISCUSS THIS MATTER.

ANY QUESTIONS? COMMENTS? HEARING THE PUBLIC COMMENT EARLIER, WHAT IS THE SQUARE FOOTAGE OF THIS LEASE EXPECTED TO BE? THE SQUARE FOOTAGE IS APPROXIMATELY 634FT². THANK YOU.

AND WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LAST YEAR AND THIS YEAR? SO THIS WAS A LEASE THAT WAS INITIALLY ONE YEAR.

AND THAT WAS SET FOR TWO THREE YEAR RENEWALS.

SO THIS IS THE END OF THE SECOND 3RD YEAR RENEWAL.

THERE HAS NOT BEEN A PRICE IMPLEMENTED PRIOR TO THAT BECAUSE OF THE TERMS OF THE PRIOR LEASE.

AND THE FACT THAT OUR RESOLUTION HAD NOT BEEN PASSED UNTIL 2022.

SO THEY HAVE NOT HAD TO COME INTO EFFECT OF A NEW LEASE WITH THESE NEW TERMS. OKAY. ANOTHER QUESTION. DO YOU HAVE WHAT THE PRIOR RATE WAS VERSUS WHAT THE NEW RATE IS? THERE WAS NO CHARGE BEFORE. NO CHARGE. SO. AND THE CHARGE NOW IS BASED ON THAT SQUARE FOOTAGE AND THE $3 PER SQUARE FEET, THE ESTIMATE IS $1,902. AND THAT WOULD BE FOR THE WHOLE YEAR.

OKAY. THANK YOU. NOTHING ELSE? I'LL ASK ONE MOTION.

SO MOVED. I HAVE A MOTION TO HAVE A SECOND. SECOND.
