   Jack Mariano

   28:51Aye. Motion passes. Thank you. And C ninety six, and we already we already approved this and Mr. Scheibel, it's nothing to obviously to do with you or your department. I just wanted to have a conversation because and Commissioner Starkey, I'm sure, can attest to that or may want to weigh in a little bit. Um we're approving the uh T Barta contract. Um You know, Hillsbrook County voted seven oh that T Barta could not use any of their funds for their lobbying efforts. I and I I just go back to I mean I mean, when

   29:21do we start deciding how money is spent And we're gonna is this gonna happen with, you know, Regional Planning Council, is gonna happen with every other committee on board that we're a part of moving forward. to allow a county to m make stipulations on how just their money spent. So are they going to put a separate pot to the side and say this is Hillsboro's money and nobody else can be involved? So does that mean that going forward That The representative, which I think is a mis is

   29:52a Commissioner Kemp. Does that mean Commissioner Kemp? And this is something for you, Commissioner Starkey, because I would like this brought up to maybe the to that board um at the next meeting um that she not be allowed to vote on any items pertaining to or Hillsboro County does not get a vote on how any of those funds are used in the future since they've already delegated that their money cannot be used going forward for any of those efforts. So they should not be able to participate in votes related to that all at all. In my opinion.

   Kathryn Starkey

   30:22And I would agree with you, Commissioner Moore. We we uh We had a discussion that we thought this was totally inappropriate um and unheard of and we were all dismayed that they took this action. And um we think that there was some misinformation that was given to the Hillsborough County M PO and um they were gonna be given some more factual information. and maybe re do a re revote.

   Jack Mariano

   30:52Commissioner Starkey, let me could I ask you this? Um So can and I'll ask the board, would you be willing to do a motion to reconsider C ninety six and then we go ahead and put a stipulation on that funding ourselves to say that if we're gonna go ahead and continue funding our portion of T BARA that Hillsburg County is not able to have or participate in a vote concerning any we're getting a little feedback, Commissioner Starkey I'll have to ask you to microphone for a second.

   31:20Okay, thank you. Um that again that if we're gonna continue to fund that they're not able to participate on any votes, any relation whatsoever to any of lobbying efforts going on within T Barda. if they're not participating in funding those efforts.

   Kathryn Starkey

   31:39Um you know I don't w I I we we're talking about being a regional player. Let me check that with the attorneys and um and I'll bring it back for the next meeting.

   Jack Mariano

   31:48Okay. So So I did a motion could I have a motion to reconsider and then we'll table this?

   Kathryn Starkey

   31:55Yeah, I'd l I'd like to I'd like to go ahead and vote yes on this and then we can we can stipulate later.

   Jack Mariano

   32:01Okay, I'm fine with that. That's fine. That's fine. So okay. No, I'll withdraw my motion to reconsider and leave it as is.

   Jack Mariano
