Commissioner committee reports

2:08:40Okay, we have five minutes to go before uh break. Uh going pride committee reports. I know mine's gonna take longer, so I'm gonna wait on mine, but

2:08:47mine's short.

2:08:49Mr. Broakley?

2:08:51Uh okay. Go through here. I had um of course we opened up the uh Wilton Simpson Senior Center um part of the this past month and uh it went very well. Um I think we would had w we were a full house at the time but we could have had more people there. W some people didn't get the word but Everything went very well and uh I think uh Kathy, can you tell me that it's

2:09:21going great over there? Hopefully. Kathy Pearson?

2:09:28There she comes up. I haven't heard, but I'm assuming that it's going great over in the senior center.

2:09:36I didn't hear that question.

2:09:38How well is it going in the

2:09:39season? Oh my goodness. Uh Kathy Pearson, Assistant County Ministry of Public Services. We were just there a couple of weeks ago. We brought some parts and recreation. We did Christmas caroling for them. Commissioner Oakley, they're asking for you again. So I think you were hit and you need to come back. Uh they loved you. So they want you to come over

2:09:58and dance and all that.

2:09:59They want you to hang out for a while. Uh so they got

2:10:02it.

2:10:04Thank you for all the support. It's a um absolutely beautiful facility and the seniors they have more seniors there. than they did in their last location. So that's really awesome. Thank you.

2:10:15Okay, thank you. Great job. The uh then I went and spoke at the um community uh meeting on well it calls it Jasmine but it's actually forty one and I seventy five that interchange for the employment issues and I guess uh we had we only had room for thirty some people with seventy two people showed up for that meeting.

2:10:37What for what intersection? What area?

2:10:40Forty one and seventy five. Oh, this is where

2:10:43DOTs were

2:10:44our first northern our northern exit into the county. So Yeah. But they were there to give information. The problem we had with some was uh a lot of people came That were not part of the community and were saying no to everything our folks were saying. But the fact of it is we did gather some good information at what people really wanted and and very much so want to keep it in a rural nature to you know in that and around that interchange because uh

2:11:15there's no water sewer out there right now four or five years ago when I got word of how much. it would cost it was uh twenty two million dollars to put water and sewer there. Uh I guarantee it's way up more than that now. So but that's the opportunities we have in in store for us uh coming for that interchange and that's really the the last interchange to really start moving on on some development around that interchange. Uh the next I was honored

2:11:45to um uh be at the presentation of the first check for those that are in the needy that went through the floods and got that money out to 'em. Uh it doesn't seem like a lot of money but it really helped them through a big issue and And this family really worked together to to make it come to a to a pleasant ending for them and they're still working on things uh in their home. But uh that was just the start of one. I I would assume that some more checks have

2:12:15gone out since then, but uh very good program. Um Oh and uh last thing I have is uh pleasure to recommend Jennifer Tressing on the Commission on the stat status of women and presenting her as uh a new person.

2:12:36Motion second. All in favor say aye. Aye. Aye. Unanimous, okay.

2:12:40Okay. That's
