11-04-2025 Commissioners [24:29-29:34]

And the reason for that is, if you look at the number of, and some of you don't have this, I'll give this to you. Now, I apologize. It's just an asshole. I know you're not counseled. But I did not re-type about it. I just copied it. We're just called dead. I'm going to put it, put it, put it, put it on the castle. The reason we need this is because, if you look at the number of, English runs in the county, not just fire. We've been a number of, a number of times. You see that in the Bedford Hospital, 795 times, Birmingham Hospital, 93 times, pay old hospital, three times. And then we see the runs in each of the townships that we go into, or the cities of Bedford, or the Arctic, wherever it may be down in the Mitchell. The reason, basic reason why we're asking for a contract for $65,000 is because the county council removed the public safety money from the forestation. We've had it for a long time. I know that they, I know if you look at some of the new rules coming down. Yes, you have, you can, they can remove it, according to those rules. But that doesn't mean that they have to. And here's the reason we need it. Is that this keeps these ambulances on the road. We're preparing to purchase a new ambulance come January. Hopefully, there'll be one available at that time. So what I'm asking for from the commissioners is a contract with, she also went to her party department for $55,000 for a backup ambulance for IU. Is IU actually covering everything? No, they're not. And I've got a lot of different, shall we say, information all the way from Bloomington and other places where they're covering. I believe I'm correct. They have IU has a $400,000 contract with Lawrence County. Is that correct? Yes. Okay. So I believe that we can keep the ambulance rolling and take care of the people in this community in Lawrence County. So we're having a request. I hope that you will look at that seriously and take it into consideration and give it, come back with us for an answer. I don't expect you to make that answer today. I wish you could say, yeah, that sounds like a good idea. But it's important that we have the ambulance as well as the party department out there in this county. Any questions for me? No, but as you said, we'll take the center of advisement. Do you have a prepared contract? I have not it. We have not. Yes. Okay. We will take the item under advisement and consider it. Okay. So I will have our attorney come up with a contract and if you want to look at it and see what you can do. Any other comments? Okay. Thank you, Miller. Thank you. Yeah, thank you, Miller. Next on the agenda is an ordinance provided by Dave Smith. Gentlemen, good morning. As you are aware, the highway department had received complaints that there were some vehicles operating at unsafe speeds in Robinhood of states. I was superintendent and the sheriff compared notes. The sheriff toured the roads and questions submitted a report dated October 27, 2025. Recommending that all the streets in Robinhood of states have a new speed limit set at 30 miles per hour based on his understanding of the road street, the roads themselves, their condition. And statutes regarding reduced speeds in areas similar to Robinhood of states before you was an ordinance establishing for Robinhood lane, Locksley Court, Sherwood Lane, Calingham Court and King's Way Street, a maximum speed limit of 30 miles per hour. Along with the directive in the ordinance that the highway superintendent make the necessary efforts to post and otherwise mark those streets upon approval of the ordinance, the new speed limit of 30 miles per hour.
