Any other questions for Dr. Bromkin? Okay, thank you. All right, thank you. Thank you. Okay, Sheriff, great day. Okay, anything? Anything? Anything? This is where you start. I heard a lot of really good comments here tonight, and I'm sure you know where I'm going to talk about. The little vibe. Oh, yeah, Saturday night. You guys did an awesome job. Well, thank you. We were prepared for it. We knew it was coming, so we were ready. A lot of people that lives up in that area. Yeah, we got all the good feedback from our audience. Yeah, and then it's okay. Yeah, thank you. Tonight just got a couple quick things. Geo population usually start off with that. At 68 total inmates, one walked out one ago. 53 males, 15 females. Probably seven for DOC. We have zero parole holds and zero level six felons that are serving their time here right now. Second thing. Nothing hurts shattering. I did provide you all with the first quarter commissary report that we're required to do by law. Um, amazing questions. I can answer them, but there's nothing. Some you pay. Well, I may rephrase that. I'm such a riddle. Uh-huh. Explain that to me, please. Um, so some of our inmates aren't always in the best of health, and they have to have beyond oxygen or have oxygen tank. So we are required to rent that from the creditors to come in and make sure they have the oxygen tank instead. Okay. Any questions for sheriff on the commissary report? I noticed there were a lot more disbursements than the income. Is this a result of the change that you talked about? Um, so somewhat. Really, those are just really. No, I'm not on this report here. A lot of this has to do with at the first of the year. There's a lot of our big expenses that come out of here. Like the cars that we bought that came in. Did we have to outfit those? We pay things like that and some of our software that we pay out of there. We pay it in January. So we get in a big hole early and then we kind of build it back up. So this year, building it back up will be a lot slower because of the changes that I talked about. But that's that is why it is that way. I was asking about the E6 with T6 or way down on this one. That's right next to the out. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, the, um, I mean, obviously the fewer inmates we have the less money I bring into. I'm coming. So. Okay. No questions on that. And then you've also got a higher request. Yep. Hiring request. We had a dispatcher just recently leave. So I'm just requesting to be able to hire that replacement. This is not a range of vegetables. That would be fully stacked. Yeah. It's not a new position. It's an existing position. I just need some money to hire somebody to fill it. Okay. Any questions for Greg on the dispatch position? Okay. I'll entertain a motion on the hire for the dispatcher position. I'll make a motion. I made it first. No. Do any made a second? Any further questions or comments? I'll play for the motion. Please say aye. Aye. Opposed? We're good to go. Okay. So I'll be up. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Okay. We've got one left. Chief Public Defender, Tim Slayer. Good evening. Just about every year. The question comes up as to what do we do and how much do we cost? And how does that compare to everybody? And so I generally every year come and explain what services the Public Defender's agency provides. This is going to be a brief explanation of that. One of the things that I wanted to do, and I'll show you how he's out beforehand. The sources of the information that you get are important. The public gets to, because sometimes misinformation, bad information gets out there. And it happened recently. And I wanted to cover a little bit about what the agency costs, how that can compare this. Looking at expenditures, because I think that's what you ultimately get to. When you look at expenditures, that tells you what something costs the county. The first page of the handout is getting your information from social media can be a dangerous thing. You know, used to go to the barber shop, and there'd be a lyre's bench out front of the barber shop.
