WHO? MAKE THAT MOTION. DO WE HAVE ANY SERIOUS QUESTIONS? SINCE WE DO NOT, LET'S CALL THE VOTE. ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. OPPOSED? THAT CARRIES. CONGRATULATIONS, SARAH. I KNOW YOU DO A NICE JOB. WE APPRECIATE IT. I APPRECIATE REPUBLICANS. DEMOCRATS APPRECIATE IT. WE APPRECIATE ALL OF YOU. ALL RIGHT, LET'S MOVE ON TO 0865 AGAIN. BOARD OF ELECTIONS, REAPPOINTMENT OF NICOLE SHORTELL AS COMMISSIONER OF ELECTIONS FOR THE REPUBLICAN PARTY FOR A TERM TO EXPIRE AGAIN DECEMBER 31ST, 2026. ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE COMMITTEE? SINCE THERE ARE NO QUESTIONS, LET'S CALL THE VOTE. ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE. AYE. OPPOSED? THAT CARRIES.
CONGRATULATIONS. LET'S MOVE ON. NEXT PAGE 0829. BOARD OF LEGISLATORS. APPROVAL OF THE PROPOSED WORKMEN'S WORKERS COMPENSATION BUDGET FOR 2025. DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE CHAIRPERSON OF THAT COMMITTEE? WHO'S BEEN THE CHAIRPERSON FOR MANY, MANY YEARS? AND HE DOES A FINE JOB ALSO. WELL, THANK YOU SIR. ANY QUESTIONS? NO QUESTIONS. LET'S CALL THE VOTE.
ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE. AYE. OPPOSED? THAT DOES CARRY. OH 773 HAS BEEN PULLED. SEVEN. SEVEN.
FOUR HAS BEEN PULLED. YEAH. SEVEN. SEVEN FOUR. SEVEN. SEVEN. FOUR. SEVEN. SEVEN THREE IS THE CANNABIS LAW. THAT'S THE LAW. CANNABIS LAW SEVEN FOUR IS CONVENIENCE STORES. THEY EXPLAIN THAT TO ME AGAIN. SO 774 WAS THE TOBACCO. OKAY. THAT HAS BEEN UNDERSTOOD. UNDERSTOOD. SEVEN.
WE'RE GOING WITH JUST. OKAY. SO 0773 IS LOCAL LAW. INTRODUCTION E OF 2024 LOCAL LAW AUTHORIZING ONEIDA COUNTY TO CONDUCT REGULATORY INSPECTIONS AND TAKE ACTIONS TO ENFORCE NEW YORK STATE CANNABIS LAW PURSUANT TO NEW YORK STATE CANNABIS LAW, SECTION 131. DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? GO AHEAD. CHAD. THANK YOU. WHO AM I ASKING? OH, AMANDA, JUST FIRST OFF, AMANDA, SINCE THIS WAS A STATEWIDE AUTHORIZATION, WHY DOES IT FALL ON THE COUNTY TO HAVE TO POLICE THIS THING AND NOT STATE WITH STATE POLICE OR WHAT HAVE YOU? THE COUNTY DOES NOT HAVE TO DO THIS. IN APRIL, THE THERE WAS AN AMENDMENT TO CANNABIS LAW ENACTED THAT ALLOWS THE COUNTY.
IT ALLOWS THE COUNTY OR CITY TO ENACT LOCAL LAWS TO THEMSELVES TO TAKE PARTICULAR ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS PRIOR TO THIS, THE ONLY ENFORCEMENT BODY WAS THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND IT WAS DEBATE AS TO WHETHER THE STATE HAS DONE A GOOD ENOUGH JOB DOING THAT OR WHETHER THEY'RE FRANKLY, STAFFED ENOUGH TO DO IT. SO THIS LEGISLATION ALLOWS COUNTIES AND CITIES TO ACT INTO A LOCAL LAW TO TAKE THESE PARTICULAR ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS. THESE ARE NOT THE FULL BREATH OF ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS THAT THE STATE HAS AT THEIR DISPOSAL. SO IT'S LIMITED, BUT IT DOES ALLOW US TO DO SOME ENFORCEMENT ON THE LOCAL LEVEL. OKAY. AND THEN FINALLY, WHEN I READ THE PROPOSED LAW, IT'S UNDER THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH. IS THAT CORRECT? BUT I IMAGINE THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT WILL BE PULLED IN, JUST LIKE THEY GET PULLED INTO OTHER THINGS THAT THE COUNTY EXECUTES ON. SO THE PROVISIONS IN THE CANNABIS LAW ALLOW WHOEVER THE COUNTY CHOOSES TO BE THERE, YOU KNOW, THEIR ENFORCEMENT AGENCY TO UTILIZE THE ASSISTANCE OF LAW ENFORCEMENT. WELL, ONE LAST FOLLOW UP. HOW MIGHT THE COUNTY APPROACH INVESTIGATING THE ONES THAT ARE ROGUE OR NOT LEGAL? SO THIS THIS LOCAL LAW WOULD CREATE A COMPLAINT PROCESS. COMPLAINTS CAN BE FILED BY BUSINESS OWNERS. THEY CAN BE FILED BY CITIZENS. THEY COULD REALLY BE FILED BY
[00:05:05]
ANYBODY. AND THEN ONCE A COMPLAINT IS RECEIVED ABOUT POTENTIAL ILLICIT RETAIL SALE, IT WOULD ALLOW THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT TO GO IN AND DO THOSE INSPECTIONS AND THEN ULTIMATELY MAKE THOSE DETERMINATIONS. VERY GOOD. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. QUESTIONS. GO AHEAD KEITH. SO THE OTHER NIGHT WE HAD A FORUM OUT IN THE COMMUNITY AND WE HAD ONEIDA COUNTY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE REPRESENTED, DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE WITH SHERIFF MARSHALL WAS THERE IN OUR OWN LITTLE TOWNSHIP OF WE ACTUALLY NOW WITHIN THE CONFINES OF THE VILLAGE AND THE OUTSKIRTS OF THAT HAVE THREE COMPETING, QUOTE UNQUOTE, SMOKE SHOPS AND THE WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE TEETH OF THIS CHAD, IT'S REALLY TO COMBAT THE ILLEGAL PIECES. AND I'M MENTIONING THAT SOME OF YOU RECOGNIZE TOO. AND TIM HAD JUST ASKED ABOUT ONEIDA INDIAN NATION AND THE SALES NATION LANDS ARE EXEMPT FROM THESE REGULATIONS. SO WE'RE HOPEFUL THAT THEY'RE COMPLYING WITH THE STATE. BUT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE PRIVATE BUSINESSES UNDER THE NEW REGULATIONS, OF THE THREE THAT EXIST, THERE'S PARAMETERS THAT LIMIT THE DISTANCE FROM EACH OTHER SO THAT YOU DON'T STACK THEM UP LIKE YOU MIGHT SEE IN A LARGE MUNICIPAL LIKE NEW YORK CITY, AND ALSO THEIR DISTANCE TO WHAT YOU COULD SAY IS SENSITIVE RESIDENTIAL AREAS LIKE OUR ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS. SO I THINK THAT THE COMBINATION AND THE COUNTY EXECUTIVE HAVE TAKEN THIS INITIATIVE BECAUSE THE STATE RUSHED IN TO PUT IN PLACE LEGAL SALES, BUT THEN DIDN'T REALLY ADDRESS THIS THIS END OF ENFORCEMENT. AND I THINK UNDER THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH, THE REGULATION AND THE REPORTING SYSTEMS, COUPLED WITH SOME OF THE FINES AND ABILITY TO SHUT THEM DOWN. I KNOW IN OUR FORUM THE OTHER NIGHT, THERE WAS A LOT OF POSITIVE DISCUSSION OF THIS COULD BE VERY HELPFUL IN THE COMMUNITY. SO I WANT TO THANK LEGAL FOR THEIR ASSISTANCE OUT THERE TOO. THANK YOU. DO WE HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON ON THIS DOCKET? AGAIN, LOCAL LAW 0773. THIS IS ANOTHER EXAMPLE IN THE STATE MOVING FORWARD WITH LAWS WITHOUT ACTUALLY DOING THEIR DUE DILIGENCE. SO THE COUNTY NEEDS TO SWEEP IN AND TAKE CARE OF BUSINESS AND MAKE MAKE THE LAW MORE REASONABLE FOR COUNTY RESIDENTS. AND THAT'S WHAT THIS LAW DOES. GO AHEAD, TIM. WOULD THERE BE AN OPPORTUNITY OR A NEED EVEN TO CREATE PEACE OFFICER STATUS AMONG SOME OF THESE HEALTH DEPARTMENT EMPLOYEES IF THEY'RE GOING TO GO IN AND ACTUALLY CHECK THESE PLACES? I MEAN, MAYBE THEY'RE CERTAINLY NOT GOING TO BE WELCOME. SO THIS BY ENACTING THIS LOCAL LAW, WHOEVER WE DETERMINE IN THIS CASE, WE'VE DECIDED TO LEAVE THE PUBLIC HEALTH DIRECTOR. THIS STATUTE ENABLES THEM THE AUTHORITY TO GO IN AND DO THAT. IF A BUSINESS IS NOT COOPERATING, WE CAN GO GET COURT ORDERS TO ENTER AS WELL. SO THE IN THIS CASE, IN THE INSPECTION AND ENFORCEMENT PROVISIONS ARE NOT CRIMINAL. THEY'RE NOT THOSE INSPECTIONS ARE NOT DONE BY LAW ENFORCEMENT PERSONNEL ON THE STATE LEVEL AS WELL. SO WHEN WE UTILIZE LAW ENFORCEMENT PERSONNEL TO ASSIST US IN GAINING ENTRY INTO ASSISTANCE, FEATURES AND LOCKING OF BUSINESSES, IF KIM GOES THERE AND THEY'RE NOT WELCOME, CHANCES ARE PRETTY GOOD THAT OWNER IS GOING TO KNOW THAT YOU'RE COMING BACK AND YOU'RE GOING TO COME BACK WITH THE PROPER PAPERWORK AND THE PROPER PERSONNEL TO GO THROUGH AND DO THAT AT THAT TIME. SO, I MEAN, IT IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO PERHAPS START THE PROCESS WITH GOING IN AND BEING ABLE TO DO THAT INSTEAD OF TIPPING THEM OFF. YEAH. WITHIN THE STATUTE, BUSINESS OWNERS REFUSAL TO ALLOW AN INSPECTION CAN BE USED AS PER SE EVIDENCE THAT THEY ARE ENGAGED IN ILLICIT SALE AND THAT WE, THROUGH AN ENFORCEMENT ACTION, THE LAW DEPARTMENT WOULD BE ABLE TO BRING AN ORDER TO CLOSE THAT BUSINESS. SO THE STATUTE, THE WAY THE STATUTE IS WRITTEN IS IT ALLOWS YOU TO BASICALLY USE MAKE AN ASSUMPTION THAT IF A BUSINESS OWNER WILL NOT ALLOW AN INSPECTION, THAT IT IS BECAUSE THEY ARE ENGAGED IN SUSTAINABLE.YEAH. ARE WE ALL SET ON THIS? ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM COMMITTEE? LET'S CALL THE VOTE ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE. AYE. OPPOSED. THAT DOES CARRY. LET'S MOVE ON TO 0611.

ANY QUESTIONS? NO QUESTIONS. IT'S. OH GO AHEAD CHAIR. YEAH. AMANDA I'D LIKE TO ASK YOU IN CONNECTION WITH THIS, THE ASSIGNED COUNSEL THAT'S GOING TO CHANGE HOW YOUR DEPARTMENT WORKS IN PART. IS THAT RIGHT? THAT'S SOMETHING NEW. BASICALLY, EXPLAIN HOW THAT'S GOING TO UNFOLD. THE ASSIGNED COUNSEL PROGRAM IS NOT PART OF THE LAW DEPARTMENT. IT IS IT WOULD BE AN ETHICAL PROBLEM FOR IT TO BE PART OF THE LAW DEPARTMENT.
BECAUSE WE REPRESENT OPPOSING COUNSEL. WE HANDLE THINGS FOR THE OPPOSING PARTY AND THE SOCIAL SERVICES. BESIDES, THE PROGRAM ACTUALLY FALLS UNDERNEATH THE BUDGET DEPARTMEN, SO IT WILL THE PROPOSAL THAT IS IN THE BUDGET FOR 2025 WILL CHANGE IF ADOPTED, WILL CHANGE THE WAY THE PUBLIC DEFENSE IS PROVIDED IN THE IN CIVIL MATTER, BASICALLY IN FAMILY COURT. BUT IT DOES NOT IMPACT THE LAW DEPARTMENT. OKAY. VERY GOOD. THANK YOU. WE HEARD FROM THE COUNTY EXECUTIVE DURING BUDGET. BUDGETARY HAS CHANGED.

[00:15:02]

QUESTIONS NO QUESTIONS. LET'S CALL THE VOTE. ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE. AYE. OPPOSED. THAT CARRIES SHERIFF DEPARTMENT ON OH 729. TRANSFER OF 1.1 MILLION 231 1031 10.25000. AUTOMOTIVE EQUIPMENT.
SHERIFF, THERE WAS A LOT OF DISCUSSION. HONESTLY, A LOT OF REAL GOOD QUESTIONS BACK AND FORTH ON THIS TOPIC WHERE WE WERE, WHERE WE ARE, WHERE WE'RE GOING. WE HAD QUITE A BIT OF INFORMATION FROM THE LAW DEPARTMENT ON THIS, AND FROM THE SHERIFF AND HIS IS THE DEPARTMENT, BUT LEGISLATORS HAD A LOT OF GOOD QUESTIONS. WHY DON'T WE HAVE A LETTER ON THAT? SO THERE IS A NEW LETTER FROM THE COUNTY EXECUTIVE'S OFFICE CHANGING THE FUNDING MECHANISM FOR IT. WE WILL HAVE TO AMEND THAT. BUT THE RESOLUTION ON YOUR DESK REFLECTS THAT AMENDMENT. WE MONEY WOULD BE $500,000. THE SHERIFF'S BUDGET TO THE AUTOMOTIVE EQUIPMENT THAT THAT COVERS THE CURRENT LEASE AGREEMENT WITH ENTERPRISE AND THEN $600,000 ALLOTMENT FROM THE ARPA FUNDING TO PURCHASE NEW VEHICLES FOR THIS YEAR. CORRECT. YOU GUYS HAVE THIS LETTER? THIS LETTER? I DON'T THINK YOU GUYS HAVE COPIES. IT'S IS IT IN FRONT OF. IT'S ON. EVERYBODY'S DONE.
YEAH. I DIDN'T SEE IT. OKAY. LET'S READ IT AGAIN. DEAR CHAIRMAN, THIS IS AUGUST 19TH, 2024. IF YOU DON'T MIND, SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT HAS BEEN USING ENTERPRISE LEASING TO SUPPLY ITS DEPARTMENT WITH VARIOUS VEHICLES OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS. IT HAS BEEN DECIDED TO MOVE AWAY FROM LEASING AND START PURCHASING VEHICLES THROUGH THE BIDDING PROCESS IN NEW YORK STATE. PRICE. THE SHERIFF HAS APPROXIMATELY 17 VEHICLES, WHICH ARE AT THE END OF THEIR LEASE PERIOD AND NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT ALSO NEEDS TO MOVE SOME FUNDS TO COVER AN ANTICIPATED SHORTFALL IN THE ENTERPRISE LEASING AGREEMENT, AS IS NECESSARY TO TRANSFER FUNDS TO COVER THOSE PURCHASES AND THE ANTICIPATED SHORTFALL IN THE COMING MONTHS. FORTUNATELY, THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT IS EXPECTED TO HAVE A SURPLUS IN ITS SALARY ACCOUNT DUE TO THE NUMBER OF VACANT POSITIONS AS THEY HAVE INCURRED IN THE ONEIDA COUNTY JAIL, AND THERE STILL IS SOME ARPA FUNDING LEFT. I THEREFORE RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THE FOLLOWING 2024 BUDGET TRANSFER. THIS IS THE COUNTY EXECUTIVE'S LETTER AGAIN TO OUR CHAIRMAN, CHAIRMAN FIORINI TWO AUTOMOTIVE EQUIPMENT 500,600. TO RENT LEASE EQUIPMENT. THAT'S WHERE WE GET THE 1.1 MILLION. AND IT'S COMING FROM SALARIES A HALF A MILLION, 500,000 AND 600,000 FROM ARPA.
SHERIFF IS HERE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS. THE MAN IS HERE. OTHER QUESTIONS. LET'S GO. CHAD, THEN I'LL COME BACK. SHERIFF, I'M GOING TO VOTE FOR THE TRANSFER. BUT MY QUESTION IS, BASED ON WHAT YOU AND JOE LISI HAD TO SHARE WITH US THE OTHER DAY, THE UNDERSHERIFF AND YOU, THE BIG. MY BIGGEST TAKEAWAY SINCE I WASN'T ON THE COMMITTEE IS LISTENING TO WHAT WAS GOING ON, IS ENTERPRISE NEVER LIVED UP TO THEIR OBLIGATIONS IN TERMS OF HAVING SUFFICIENT VEHICLES.
EVERY YEAR FOR US TO ACQUIRE, HAD THEY PROVIDED SUFFICIENT VEHICLES BASED ON WHAT YOU GUYS NEEDED EACH YEAR, WERE THERE OTHER MAJOR FACTORS OR SALIENT ISSUES THAT WOULD HAVE STILL MOVED YOU TOWARDS GOING BACK TO BUYING VEHICLES VERSUS LEASING? LIKE I SAID THE OTHER DAY, THE THING THAT INITIALLY BROUGHT US HERE IS THE CONTRACT WITH ENTERPRISES EXPIRED. OBVIOUSLY, THE WAY IT IS BEING DONE, IT'S THE WAY IT'S BEEN DONE IN THE PAST FIVE YEARS, HAS TO CHANGE FOR LEGAL REASONS. AND TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, TO GO BACK A LITTLE BIT, THE SUPPLY CHAIN ISSUE, FIRST COVID, THEN THE SUPPLY CHAIN ISSUE. SO THERE WERE YEARS AND I HAVE THEM IN MY
[00:20:05]
NOTES. I KNOW I RATTLED THE NUMBERS OFF IT AT PUBLIC SAFETY. THE YEARS WE WERE EXPECTING A NUMBER OF CARS TO COME, AND WHAT WE ACTUALLY GOT WERE QUITE A BIT DIFFERENT FOR A 2 OR 3 YEAR PERIOD, WHICH OBVIOUSLY SET US BACK. SO I MEAN, I DON'T KNOW, AS THOUGH I WOULDN'T SAY IT WAS ENTERPRISE THAT LED US THAT THAT, YOU KNOW, LED US DOWN THE WRONG PATH. IT WAS A BUNCH OF FACTORS. I MEAN, IF THEY COULD HAVE GOT US THE CARS, THEY WOULD HAVE GOT US THE CARS. THE REASON FOR THE SHORTFALL, AS I EXPLAINED THE OTHER NIGHT AND THE UNDERSHERIFF EXPLAINED THE LAST YEAR, THIS YEAR OF THE LEASE, THE MORE CARS CAME IN THAN WE ANTICIPATED WERE GOING TO COME IN. SO THAT'S THAT'S WHERE THE SHORTFALL CAME FROM. SO OKAY. THANK YOU. YEP. GO AHEAD. NORA, I WAS WONDERING THE NUMBERS IN THIS DOCKET, DO THEY ACTUALLY REFLECT WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN? YOU KNOW, IS THIS SOUNDS LIKE WE'RE CHANGING HOW WE'RE DOING THIS MOVING FORWARD.THAT'S A WHOLE NOTHER CONVERSATION. AND WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO MEET, YOU KNOW, AS A GROUP COLLECTIVELY TO FIGURE OUT IF IT'S ALL OUT PURCHASING, BECAUSE I KNOW THERE'S SOME DIFFERENT IDEAS THAT ARE OUT THERE, BUT THAT'S THAT'S NOT THIS IS JUST A BAND AID FOR 2020 FOR WHAT WE'RE DEALING WITH TODAY. SO YEP. ANYBODY ELSE GO AHEAD BOB. SO THE 500,000 ARE THOSE VEHICLES ALREADY RECEIVED THE ENTERPRISE. YES. THAT'S YES THAT IS CORRECT. WE HAVE VEHICLES ACTUALLY LANDING FROM ENTERPRISE AS WE SPEAK THAT WERE TO PURCHASE. NO. WELL NO. ONCE THIS IS APPROVED, WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH COMMISSIONER BEASLEY AND HE'S HE'S SEARCHING.
SEARCHING. AND I CAN'T SPEAK FOR HIM. I DON'T KNOW IF HE'S ACTUALLY LOCATED THEM, BUT THAT'S WHAT THAT MONEY WILL BE USED TO PURCHASE PATROL CARS. SO BASIC PATROL CAR TODAY NOT READY TO BE EQUIPPED IS 50 ABOUT 55,000. AND TO EQUIP IT WITH THE LIGHTS RADIO SIRENS CAGE WHATNOT IT'S SOMEWHERE BETWEEN DEPENDING ON WHICH VEHICLE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT. SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 8 AND 12,000 FOR UPFITTING ON TOP OF THE 55. SO WE JUST DOING THIS AS A ONE TIME THING. AND ARE WE CONSIDERING AMENDING THE AGREEMENT WITH ENTERPRISE? WELL, THE AGREEMENTS OVER WITH ENTERPRISE, IT'S DONE. AND AGAIN, THOSE ARE FOR FUTURE MEETINGS WITH, WITH OBVIOUSLY WITH WITH THE COUNTY EXECUTIVE, WITH LEGAL WITH WITH DPW. I, I'M NOT SURE WHERE THAT ENDS UP IF IT'S GOING TO BE, YOU KNOW, FUTURE ALL OUT PURCHASE OF EVERYTHING. IF IT'S GOING TO BE A PARTIAL LEASE OF SOME AND PURCHASE OF OTHERS OR SO AGAIN, THAT'S I CAN'T ANSWER THAT FOR YOU TODAY. SO. QUESTIONS JUST TO SUM IT UP, TIM WAS AT A MEETING. I WAS AT A MEETING. JERRY COUNTY EXECUTIVE, THE COMPTROLLER. AS WE THE VERY COMPREHENSIVE EVALUATION OF THIS WHOLE PROCESS, BECAUSE IT SHOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED THE WAY IT DID. A LOT OF EVENTS WERE BEYOND OUR CONTROL. COVID BEING ONE OF THEM AND SUPPLY CHAIN AND ALL OF THAT. WE WILL NOT GO DOWN THE PATH AGAIN OF JUST BITING ON THIS. IT'S NOT REALLY EVEN A LEASE FROM WHAT THE DEFINITION IS. SO WE'RE COMING UP WITH SOME POLICY THAT WILL ALL VOTE ON. BUT IT'S GOT TO BE COMPREHENSIVE FOR EVERY VEHICLE IN THE COUNTY FLEET, WHEREVER IT IS. SO WE'RE LEARNING A LOT FROM THIS. BUT WE'RE GOING TO GET TO THE BOTTOM OF IT. THIS WAS A SHORT TERM STOPGAP JUST TO GET THEM OUT, GET ENTERPRISE AND THEN GET SOME CARS STARTED. BUT WE'RE GOING TO HEAR A LOT MORE ABOUT IT. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? GO AHEAD. KEITH I KNOW SHERIFF, THAT YOU HAD MENTIONED THE OTHER DAY, I THINK LIKE 15 OTHER COUNTIES THAT WERE SIMILAR OR HAD HAD PURCHASES LIKE THAT. THERE ARE 15 OTHER COUNTIES THAT DEAL WITH ENTERPRISE NOW WITH THEIR SPECIFIC CONTRACTS. ARE AND HOW THEY'RE SET UP. AND IF THEY'RE THE SAME AS US OR DIFFERENT THAN US, THAT I DON'T KNOW. SO I GUESS A QUESTION LONG RANGE MOVING FORWARD, IS THERE ANY OPPORTUNITY TO PARTNER WITH THOSE COUNTIES SO THAT WE COULD MAXIMIZE A FLEET AND SAY OUT OF THE OUT OF THE 15 COUNTIES INSTEAD OF 30 CARS, WE'RE LOOKING AT 300 CARS TO LOCK IN. AND I DON'T KNOW IF THROUGH THE DIRECTOR OF PURCHASING HAS OBVIOUSLY BROUGHT THAT UP WHERE WE CAN PIGGYBACK ON AGAIN, THOSE ARE FOR FUTURE, YOU KNOW, FUTURE CONVERSATIONS ON HOW WE MOVE FORWARD. BUT THE DIRECTOR OF PURCHASING HAS MENTIONED THAT WE CAN LEGALLY PIGGY. I THINK THE TERM HE USED WAS PIGGYBACK ON SOME OF THE OTHER COUNTIES. AND IF THAT HAPPENED, I KNOW AT ONE POINT YOU TALKED ABOUT BEING LOCKED IN WITH THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL OF VEHICLE. YEAH, OUR MARKED PATROL CARS ARE ALL FORD EXPLORERS. THAT WAY WHEN ONE COMES OUT OF SERVICE, THE CENTER CONSOLE THAT ALL THE RADIOS ARE IN CAN FIT IN THE NEXT FORD EXPLORER. THE LIGHTS AND THE GRILLE FIT IN THE LIGHTS IN THE
[00:25:03]
BACK. THE BACK WINDOWS FIT IN EVERYTHING. EVERYTHING IS UNIVERSAL, SO YOU DON'T KNOW HOW THOSE OTHER COUNTIES WHAT WHAT IS THERE A STANDARDIZATION ACROSS SHERIFF OFFICES? NO, NO.SOME SHERIFFS ARE THEY USE DIFFERENT MODEL CARS. BUT WE'RE PRETTY LIMITED WITH MARKED PATROL CARS. THE ONLY, I BELIEVE, THE ONLY POLICE PACKAGE. NOW THAT CHEVROLET MAKES IS THE TAHOE. AND THAT THAT'S ACTUALLY GOING TO BE PHASED OUT TOO. SO VERY GOOD.
THANK YOU. YEP. STEVE, THIS IS FOR PROBABLY THE NEXT MEETINGS. BUT WHAT WAS THE LIMIT ON THE AMOUNT OF MILEAGE YOU COULD PUT ON YOUR CARS BEFORE YOU HAVE TO TURN THEM? WELL, THAT'S PART OF THE PROBLEM. PART OF THE QUESTION I GUESS I, I KNOW THERE WAS OUR MARKED PATROL CARS WERE LEASED FOR TWO YEARS. I DON'T KNOW IF THE COUNTY ATTORNEY REMEMBERS IF THERE WAS ACTUALLY MILEAGE IN OUR IN OUR LEASE YEARS ARE MILEAGE IN THE MASTER LEASE AGREEMENT WAS SUPPOSED TO CONTEMPLATE A UP TO THREE YEAR, UP TO 15,000 MILE A YEAR LEASE AGREEMENT. EACH INDIVIDUAL CAR THAT IS DELIVERED WAS A SEPARATE AGREEMENT TO THE COUNTY. THOSE HAVE NOT BEEN COMING TO THE LAW DEPARTMENT. SO I CAN'T SPEAK TO THE SPECIFICS OF DIFFICULTIES, BUT THE MASTER LEASE AGREEMENT THAT WAS ULTIMATELY SIGNED WAS WE HAD THE CHOICE TO DO, YOU KNOW, UP TO THREE YEARS OR 36,000 OR UP TO THREE YEARS OR 45,000. SO EITHER 12 OR 15,000 MILES A YEAR. SO JUST THINK OF EITHER WAY, WE CAN NEVER MEET THOSE EXPECTATIONS BECAUSE A PATROL CAR PUTS ON AN AVERAGE BETWEEN 50 AND 75,000 MILES PER YEAR. SO MAYBE IN THE FUTURE OWNING WOULD BE BETTER THAN A LEASE ANYWAYS, BECAUSE MAYBE YOU COULD TAKE AFTER YOUR USEFUL LIFE IS OVER. AS FOR A SHERIFF'S CAR, YOU COULD TRANSFER IT TO ANOTHER PART OF THE COUNTY. WELL, AN UNMARKED CAR, PROBABLY BECAUSE OF THE LESS MILEAGE, BUT A PATROL CAR? WHEN WE'RE DONE, I'M GOING TO BE HONEST WITH YOU, WHEN WE'RE DONE WITH A PATROL CAR, THERE'S NOT A LOT YOU CAN DO WITH IT BECAUSE IT'S GOING TO HAVE 150, 175, 200,000 MILES ON IT. SO YOU'RE KIND OF LIMITED TO WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH IT. YEAH, YEAH. THANKS, SHERIFF. WE'RE GOING FROM LAKE CAR TO LAKE CAR. SO OBVIOUSLY THE FIT OUT ISN'T $12,000 8 TO 12,000. IT'S OBVIOUSLY LESS ON A NEW. THAT IS CORRECT. ONE COMING IN. RIGHT.
THE COST TO CHANGE OVER LIKE, SAY TAKE EVERYTHING OUT OF THE ONE VEHICLE AND PUT IT I DON'T KNOW I'D HAVE TO LOOK THAT UP FOR I DON'T KNOW I HAVE NO IDEA. WOULD YOU KNOW UNDERSHERIFF A CHANGEOVER WHEN THERE'S NO EQUIPMENT BEING REPLACED, WE CAN REUSE. A LOT OF TIMES WE CAN REUSE WHAT'S IN THE VEHICLE. SO WE DON'T BUY NEW BETWEEN 8 AND 10,000 TIMES. WE CAN BUY. WE CAN GET THE STUFF THAT COMES WITH THE EQUIPMENT OUT OF ONE CAR THAT'S OCCASIONALLY USED TO EXPLORE ONE. THE ONLY TIME WE COME TO A PROBLEM IS IF THEY CHANGE MODELS AND THEY LUCKILY THEY DON'T DO THAT FOR 4 OR 5 YEARS. WE DO THAT. GOD BLESS YOU. BLESS YOU. JPG YEAH. YEP.
OKAY. WHO ELSE. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS. GO AHEAD. MIKE THIS ONE'S A LITTLE OFF BASE SHERIFF.
BUT AROUND THE VEHICLES, IF THE STATE CONTINUES TO PUSH THEIR INITIATIVES ON EVS AND THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT HAD TO EVENTUALLY GO TO EVS, HAS ANY THOUGHT BEEN GIVEN TO THAT? I HAVE NO IDEA. WE HAVE SIX OF THE HYBRID AND THE ONLY COMPLAINT THAT I'VE RECEIVED SO FAR IS A SIGNIFICANT LACK IN THE ABILITY TO PICK UP SPEED WHEN YOU NEED IT. YOU JUST DON'T. IT'S NOT NOT EVEN COMPARABLE TO A GAS ENGINE. SO I HAVE NO IDEA WHERE WE GO WITH THAT. NO IDEA. IT JUST SEEMS LOGICAL THAT WE'D NEED 2 OR 3 TIMES THE VEHICLES. I MEAN, THEY'RE NOT GOING TO RUN 20 MILES ON A CHARGE. EXACTLY. I MEAN, IF WE CAN SEE WHAT'S HAPPENING DOWN SOUTH RIGHT NOW AND PEOPLE TRYING TO VACATE PARTS OF THE COUNTRY BECAUSE OF MOTHER NATURE, THERE'S, I MEAN, COUNTLESS ELECTRIC CARS STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND PEOPLE ARE BEING MOVED WITH OTHER GAS, GAS VEHICLES. SO, YEAH, I'M GOOD. I'M GOING TO START WITH SHERIFF AND THEN GO TO AMANDA, A COUPLE OF LEGAL QUESTIONS. WHEN WE ENTERED THIS LEASE ABOUT FIVE YEARS AGO. YES, SIR. YOU AND JOE HAD A GOOD THOUGHT, OBVIOUSLY, THAT YOU'D BE ABLE TO MANAGE THE FLEET AND THE NUMBERS WOULD COME IN CONSISTENTLY TO KEEP YOU GOING TO BE ABLE TO TURN VEHICLES IN AND GIVE YOU THE AMOUNT OF NEW VEHICLES YOU NEEDED. AND WANTED GOING FORWARD. BUT COVID HIT, RIGHT? CORRECT. BECAUSE I SEE SOME OF THE NUMBERS YOU THREW OUT ONE YEAR. AGAIN, I MIGHT BE OFF A LITTLE. IT LOOKS LIKE 19 AND 20 HAD 33, THEN 21 YOU HAD SIX, RIGHT? I HAD NINE DOWN THERE. ALL RIGHT. WELL LIKE I DID FIND THOSE NOTES, BUT LIKE THE FIRST YEAR WE WANTED WE WERE HOPING FOR 40. WE GOT 33. THE SECOND YEAR WE'RE HOPING FOR 16. WE GOT SIX. THE THIRD YEAR 16.
WE GOT NINE. THAT'S WHEN WE WERE IN THE COVID SUPPLY CHAIN ISSUE. SO NOW WE'RE AUTOMATICALLY BEHIND BY 7 OR 8 TIMES TWO. YOU'RE BEHIND BY 16 CARS. THEN THE NEXT YEAR WE STARTED TO RECOVER. WE GOT WE THAT'S THE YEAR WE GOT TWO MORE THAN WE WANTED. BUT THEN IN 23 WE NEEDED
[00:30:04]
29. WE ONLY GOT 12 DELIVERED SO WE COULD NEVER GET TO THE POINT OF REPLACING CARS. ACTUALLY, TWO FLEET MANAGEMENT LIKE IT. AND THEN WHAT'S HAPPENING IS WHEN YOU WHEN YOU'RE NOT ABLE TO REPLACE A CAR, I STILL HAVE TO RUN THAT CAR BECAUSE IT'S STILL BEING USED. SO NOW THE MILEAGE IS ADDING UP. NOW WE'RE UPSIDE DOWN IN THAT LEASE. NOW WE OWN. NOW WE'RE PAYING MORE THAN WHAT THAT CAR IS WORTH. SO THERE'S NO CREDIT, NOTHING. I MEAN, YOU'RE UPSIDE DOWN IN A LEASE BECAUSE YOU'RE RUNNING IT LONGER THAN YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO. BUT WE DIDN'T HAVE A CHOICE. IT'S NOT LIKE I CAN PARK IT. WE NEED WE NEED THE VEHICLE. SO, AMANDA, YOU SPOKE AT LENGTH ABOUT THE ORIGINAL LEASE ABOUT FIVE YEARS AGO. REALLY NOT BEING A TRUE LEASE. YOU CALLED IT AN INSTALLMENT PURCHASE BECAUSE IT DID NOT HIT CERTAIN BENCHMARKS, CORRECT. COULD YOU NAME A FEW OF THE BENCHMARKS THAT DID NOT HIT? YES. SO EASILY THERE ARE SEVERAL TIMES IN ATTORNEY GENERAL OPINION THAT THE COURT OF APPEALS OPINIONS THAT KIND OF DEFINE WHAT TYPES OF CONSIDERED TO BE A TRUE LEASE AND ONE OF THE FACTORS IS THAT THERE IS NO THAT IT IS A TRUE LEASE. YOU ARE LITERALLY BASICALLY ALLOWED TO USE THE EQUIPMENT FOR A PERIOD OF TIME, AND YOU GIVE IT BACK WITH NO VALUE IN IT. AT THE END. THE WAY THAT THESE AGREEMENTS WERE OPERATING, WHEN A CAR WAS TURNED IN, THERE WAS SOME, YOU KNOW, RESIDUAL VALUE THAT WAS CREDITED TO THE COUNTY. AND THAT IS ONE OF THE HALLMARK FACTORS THAT IT IS NOT A TRUE LEASE. IT IS ACTUALLY IT IS AN UNDERLYING BASICALLY AN INSTALLMENT PURCHASE CONTRACT THAT THERE'S VALUE GOING BACK TO THE COUNTY.ALSO WITHIN A TRUE LEASE. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THE COURTS LOOK AT IS THE COST OF MAINTENANCE AND THE COST OF THE RISK OF LOS. SO IF THE COST IS MAINTENANCE, OPERATING LOSSES, AND THE COMPANY WOULD BE SAYING THAT IS A TRUE LEASE IF IT IS ON THE IF IT WAS IN THIS CASE, BE ON THE COUNTY. AND THAT IS ONE OF THE FACTORS THAT THE COURTS LOOK AT TO DETERMINE THAT THAT IS NOT A TRUE LEASE. THOSE ARE KIND OF TWO OF THE BIGGEST ISSUES THAT WE HAVE HERE. AND IN IN SOME WAYS, IN THIS CASE, THE ISSUE REALLY COMES INTO PLAY WITH THESE PARTICULAR VEHICLES THAT WE ARE EXCEEDING THE MILEAGE SO QUICKLY. AND WE KNOW THAT WE'RE GOING TO AT THE OUTSET WHEN WE TAKE DELIVERY OF THAT CAR, SO THAT THE FACT THAT THE AGREEMENT SAYS THAT ENTERPRISE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT MAINTENANCE AND THOSE WARRANTY PIECES, YOU KNOW, UP TO WHATEVER IT IS, THE 45,000 MILES WITH THREE YEARS, WE KNOW THAT WE'RE GOING TO EXCEED THAT WITHIN THE FIRST YEAR. SO THAT'S, YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT AS CLEAR BECAUSE THE CONTRACT DOES SAY THAT THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE, BUT BECAUSE OF THAT LIMITATION AND THAT WE KNOW THAT WE HAVE REASONABLE EXPECTATIONS THAT WE'RE GOING TO STAY WITHIN THAT LIMITATION DURING THE LEASE TERM. A SOLID LEASE PURCHASE CONTRACT, WHATEVER. WE'RE GOING TO BE CALLING THAT AGREEMENT FROM FIVE YEARS AGO. SHOULD THERE HAVE BEEN AN INDICATOR OR SOMETHING IN THERE BASICALLY PENALIZING ENTERPRISE IF THEY DID NOT MEET OUR THRESHOLD OF WHAT WE NEEDED EVERY YEAR? SHOULDN'T, SHOULDN'T THERE HAVE BEEN SOME MONETARY COMPENSATION BACK TO THE COUNTY OR YOU CAN'T WRITE A LEASE? YEAH. THE WAY THAT THAT CONTRACT WAS, AGAIN, IT WAS DONE BY AN RFP AND NOT A COMPETITIVE BID BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, THE WAY THAT THE RFP WAS WRITTEN AND THE WAY THAT THE ORIGINAL AGREEMENT IS ENTERED INTO, IT IS CONTEMPLATED TO BE A TRUE LEASE AGREEMENT. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WAS IN THE RFP AND ALSO IN THE CONTRACT, IS THAT THERE WAS NO GUARANTEE EITHER WAY. SO WE WERE NOT GUARANTEEING THAT WE WERE GOING TO ORDER AND TAKE ANY PARTICULAR NUMBER OF VEHICLES, AND THEY COULD NOT DO THIS PARTICULAR DELIVERY TO US. IT WAS A IT WAS A BASICALLY A MECHANISM TO HAVE A LEASING PROGRAM AVAILABLE TO US GUARANTEES EITHER WAY ENTERED INTO THIS CONTRACT AND NOT LEASED A SINGLE VEHICLE FROM THEM. BUT WE COULD HAVE ORDERED, YOU KNOW, 100 IF THERE WAS NO LIMITATION ONE WAY OR THE OTHER. BUT OBVIOUSLY BASED ON COVID, WHICH NOBODY COULD HAVE PREDICTED, WE WERE SEVERELY IMPACTED BY NOT GETTING THE VEHICLES FOR THE FIRST FEW YEARS AND TRYING TO PLAY CATCH UP. SO ALL RIGHT, THANKS, AMANDA. YOU'RE WELCOME I APPRECIATE THAT. ABSOLUTELY. ALL RIGHT. GETTING BACK TO THE DOCKET, I WAS PLEASED TO SEE WE STILL HAVE SOME ARPA MONEY LEFT AND 600,000 IS GOING TO BE UTILIZED FOR THA. AND WE'RE ALSO USING SALARIES.
[00:35:02]
INMATE. SO. 500,000, MAYBE THIS IS A BUDGETARY QUESTION, BUT I THINK I'LL SAVE IT FOR TIME.TIMES USED TO GET IN THIS QUESTION FROM ME RIGHT TIME ABOUT VACANCY RATES AND BECAUSE IT TIES OBVIOUSLY INTO OVERTIME. AND WE'LL TALK ABOUT MAYBE MORE OF THAT.
