03-24-2026 Commissioners [17:17-22:23]

Okay. Any thoughts, Jim? Yeah. I'm going to ask our attorney. Yeah, the attorney. In fact, we are eligible for anything that would happen with this vehicle. Whose name is going to be on the title and that kind of stuff. That's a question I have. When I was given the information, please see me today's meeting. I wrote and sent you guys an opinion letter. It does not look as though the county would be responsible. It does look like it would afford a shot with township with equipment that they can make appropriate use of. And I see no reason not to support their grant application. With that understanding, I would move to prove the application for the grant. I have a motion. All in favor, say aye. I have a motion's passes. Thank you. Thank you. Next is Brad. Mr. President, commissioners. I'm Vice President of the Lawrence County Historical Society. I'm also one of the Simiquence Centennial Committee to celebrate America's 250th birthday. At the last Simiquence Centennial meeting, it was brought up that our bison is in need of some repair. And I was wondering if there was any way we could talk about in the future, getting the bison repaired prior to July 4th, when we will have the large Simiquence Centennial celebration here on the square. Each one of those items on that bison represents a piece of Lawrence County history. And if anybody had any questions about what any particular item represents, I'd be happy to explain that. Is this physical damage or is it just the painting? It's the painting that's peeling off. So did we have the original artist who ever did that? I think I know it was, but I can't come up with the name right now. Is that who you're anticipating would do the repairs? I would be open to anything that the commissioners would decide upon to be very frank other than painting over the whole thing. But like I say, each depiction on there is very significant for the county. What I would suggest, if we knew what the cost of the possible cost would be, we'd have a better understanding of what we would be. Obligating the county to do, I'm not a disagreement with repairing it, but I just like to know what the possible cost might be. Okay. Sounds reasonable. I think we should just make a motion today to take the under advisement until we get further information and then we will. I would agree with that. Thank you, Mr. President. I appreciate that. Thank you. Thank you. Next, we have under items consideration, we have a resolution with the area 10A, you know, in rural transit to give them the permission to apply for a grant for our rural transportation for the coming year. I'd entertain a motion to that. That's acceptable to you guys. All right. I have a motion. All in favor? Say hi. Hi. All right. So moved. All right. Next is Brian's. Kathy highway. Good morning. I don't really have much talk about the day. Endot is going to be working on a deck overlay on 158. Seems like I get the dates for that. They say they're not going to close it down. They're just doing one lane at a time. And they will be closing down some work on highway 450 and May. So when I get the hard dates and I'll send out detours because they're going to close the road. I told you about Bud's dip blew out this morning. So we got that close right now to fix that. And then we are looking for pot hose and repair them. It's that season finally. That's really all I have reports on them. Thank you. Okay. Bye Brian. Thanks for having me. And then my house up from Earth's management again. Should have just let you done it all once. That's a great idea. Well, it's been a nice warm week.
