Yes, it's just the people who work over there during those 30 days of elections. Yeah, go need. But it didn't work out quite like we discussed either. So we'll keep working on it and get it resolved at some point. Thank you. Thank you. And there's one coming up, the next one, but I want to read something because this is going to affect a couple of three things. Penny, you're up next, but hold this for a second. And what I'm going to do is I'm going to read this off the salary ordinance. This deals with hiring and the process on that hiring and how this actually works. And this is on the salary ordinance. It's public record, if anybody wants a copy of it or more than welcome, get it with Martha or whatever. But the second one that I'm going to read on this one, and like I say, this is public record. So anybody's capable of just getting a copy of it. If any position becomes vacant, then the elected official or the department heads shall inform the commissioners and the county councils. The position can be reevaluated to determine whether the position should be filled. And if so, what salary should be assigned to that position? The auditor's office will not, shall not process any new employee paid without council approval. This is on the, I know there's been some issues brought up on this more times than one. But this is the 2026 salary ordinance. So if anybody wants a copy of it, you're more than welcome to it. And that, I know there was talk on this that and the other, but I think Ted and View and I talked about this in Martha. But that is actually, and then there's a paper that's turned into the auditor's office, correct? Yes, but it's a higher information. New higher information, which is really short, it's not a very big page, the whole nine yards. And the reason for that is, that's how, when you fill that out, any department head fills that out, that's how it gets to us. That's how it comes to us. And our pockets and our folders, and that way, we are all on the same page. And I think it works pretty well and I don't know that anybody's got a problem with that set up. But I just wanted to get that out there because I know there's been some confusion in a couple of different places. But it looks like that's directly from the 2026 salary allowance. OK. Panty, you're a good evening. Good evening. How's Penny? I'm OK. Long day? Yes, it was a long day. This is, our office hasn't been slow. But that's why I'm here because my first deputy got off of her own job back with the rays, with the rays, and much better benefits than cheaper prescriptions. And so she went back. So I have to fill my first deputy position. But also, I worked a person short with my seasonal employees last fall. And we're needing one, especially me and two people out right now because I still have to do some interviewing after this for my first deputy, which I've got a girl part time that I know has notified me that she would like to work part-time if there was somewhere open. And so I told her I had to go to the meeting and let her know. But so that's what I'm here for. It's just my seasonal, which the line's already in my budget every year, just a certain amount of money. And once it's gone, it's gone. And we use it during the spring and the fall. And then, of course, my first deputy. She does most of the bookkeeping, accounting, cash book, and the other stuff. Receipts quite. This is what some customer has changed as a phone. So I can fill that position. That's all I mean. First deputy is by statute. Yes. First deputy is also by statute. The second one that you're talking about will be the part-time. Yeah, it's a seasonal part-time. It's always been called seasonal part-time. And that's just one? Yes. Yeah, because I just have a certain budget. I mean, I just have my line. So we usually would have about four of them. Right now, I'm only got three, but one's kind of hit and miss. Because that's some health issues. I got any questions for opinion. OK, I'll entertain a motion on this one. This is the floor for her first deputy and the part-time. Motion to approve both positions. OK, I got a motion from best and on both positions. Janie seconds. Any further questions or comments? All in favor of motion? Please say aye. Aye. Opposed? OK. Thank you. Thank you, Penny. OK. Jeopardyknight.
