SO YEAH, WE STILL HAVE TO MAKE THE CORRECTIONS TO APPROVE THEM.

IT SAID NOT IT'S JUST THE, YOU KNOW, ON PAGE 200 AND BUSINESS, INSTEAD OF MRS. FELIX CAN NOT BE COMMISSIONER AND SECRETARY, IT SHOULD BE CHAIRMAN, NOT COMMISSIONER.
THAT'S WHAT THEY USED TO THAT'S THE NUMBER, BUT IT USED TO BE DESIGNATED FOR THE NEW CBIRC THREE POLICING.
IT HAS SINCE CHANGED TO EIGHT TWO, AND THEN PAGE FOUR UNDER IN-PERSON ABSENTEE, BLUFFING SHOULD BE 61 B.
SO DO I HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE MINUTES WITH THOSE CHANGES? OKAY.
THERE'S NO UNFINISHED BUSINESS.
SO WE'LL MOVE ON TO COMMITTEE REPORTS.
MR. CLIFFORD, DO YOU HAVE A FACILITIES COMMITTEE REPORT? WELL, I'M SORRY, I'M SORRY.
NOT REALLY WITH THE, UM, PRECINCT GRADE PORTION COMMITTEE.
THE REAPPORTIONMENT COMMITTEE MET ON OCTOBER 7TH, 2021 AT THREE O'CLOCK PRESIDENT.

THEN WE WILL REALIGN PRECINCT LINES BASED ON THE MOVE POLITICAL DISTRICT LINES.
IDEALLY, WE TRY TO, UM, HAVE NO MORE THAN ABOUT 1500 VOTERS IN ONE PRECINCT.
UM, SO THE REAL REAPPORTIONMENT COMMITTEE ROLE REALIGNED THE PRECINCT LINES BASED ON THIS, UM, GOAL OF 1500, UM, THAT'S ABOUT IT, UH, EXCEPT TO MENTION THAT, UM, IT IS THE GROWTH IN THE VOTER POPULATION THAT NECESSITATES THIS COMMITTED TO FUNCTION AND THE CAPACITY THAT I ALLUDED TO EARLIER IN THE REPORT THAT IS TO REDRAW REDRAW THE PRECINCT, UM, BALANCE.
[00:05:01]
THE FACILITIES COMMITTEE, I'VE GOT SOME GOOD NEWS AND I JUST GOT THIS MORNING BECAUSE I SOMEHOW FOUND WORK ROOMS, A NEW CELL PHONE.I HAD ONE, BUT IT WAS NOT THE RIGHT NUMBER AND KEPT GETTING SHUTTLED OFF.
AND ANYWAY, I GOT AHOLD OF HIM THIS MORNING, DRIVING HERE ABOUT OUR NEW BUILDING.
HE SAID THE NEW BUILDING IS FINISHED.
THE SECURITY SYSTEM IS IN STOCK.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT WE'VE BEEN ASKING THEM FOR TWO MONTHS TO CALL US TO LET US GO LOOK AT IT.
STURDY SYSTEM IS INSTALLED, BUT NOT CONNECTED TO THEIR NETWORK YET HARD.
GRAY HAS THIS FOR ACTION AND THEY'RE WORKING ON IT.
DO NOT RECOMMEND PLACING VALUABLE EQUIPMENT IN THE BUILDING TILL WE HAVE THE SECURITY SYSTEM CONNECTION.
BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE OUR BUILDING IS READY.
NONE OF US HAD SEEN IT, BUT THE BUILDING'S READY IN SECURITY WHO WENT IN.
I TALKING ABOUT BLUFFTON OR THE ONE DOWN ONE DOWN HERE THAT WE'RE GOOD.
AND WE HAVE TO GO TO THE LOCAL.
IT'S THE OLD HARRIS PILLOW FACTORY FACTORY.
IT WAS BEFORE THE INDUSTRIAL PARK.
YEAH, NO, IT'S WELL-MARKED THOUGH.
SO SOMEBODY CAN GO LOOK AT IT AND MAKE SURE THAT YES IT'S.
BERNADETTE, DO YOU HAVE A REPORT? NO, NOT AT THIS TIME.
UM, MR. PELI IS NOT HERE COMMITTED MR. ROWE, DO YOU HAVE A REPORT? I'M GOING TO GO AND GET CLOSE TO MY TIME AND CALENDAR AS I CAN.
I HAVE A COUPLE OF THINGS COMING UP THAT WE'LL BE IN CONTACT WITH THE MEMBERS.
I'D LIKE TO SEND SOMETHING UP TO YOU.
SOME CHANGES THAT I'VE MADE AND THEY WOULD BE FOR REVIEW BY THE COMMITTEE MEMBERS FIRST.
SO I'LL SEND THOSE OUT TO YOU.
PROBABLY I WOULD EXPECT THOSE WOULD COME TO YOU IN THE NEXT 10.
AND THE ONLY NEW BUSINESS, UM, THAT WE HAVE WOULD BE THAT IT WOULD BE PRUDENT FOR THE, TO HELP OUT THE VOTER REGISTRATION OFFICE.
IF WE STARTED WORKING ON GETTING OUR POLL MANAGERS AND CLERKS SET UP WELL IN ADVANCE.
SO THE NEXT ELECTION IS JUNE 14TH.
UM, WHEN THOSE SAID, IDEALLY OPEN WONDERFUL.
IF HE HAD LISTS BY MARCH, BECAUSE THEN THEY COULD DO SEVERAL HANDS ON TRAINING AND IT'S NOT A RUSH TO GET EVERYBODY TRAINED AT THE END.
AND IF SOMEBODY FALLS OUT, THEN YOU'VE GOT TIME TO GET A NEW PERSON OR ALSO SO THAT THEY, YOU KNOW, JUNE IS IN THE SUMMER, THEY'RE GOING TO BE PLANNING VACATION.
SO IF THEY KNEW IN MARCH, FEBRUARY THAT THEY'RE GOING TO BE WORKING, THEY COULD PLAN THEIR VACATIONS AROUND IT AND IT WOULD HELP US OUT.
AND THEN NOW SHE, UM, THAT'S THE PRIMARY, JUNE 14, JUNE 14.
AND THAT'S BOTH OF THEM WOULD BE ON THE SAME DAY, JUNE 14, JUNE 14TH, FLAG DAY.
UM, WHAT, WHAT, WHAT WE, WE NOT GOING TO WAIT UNTIL THOSE MAINS TO HAVE HANDS ON, WE'LL START.
AS SOON AS DISTRICTS GET REDISTRICTING AND STUFF IS DONE.
AND WE KNOW LIKE HOW MANY COULD, WE MAY HAVE ONE OR TWO MORE PRECINCTS, BUT AFTER WE KNOW THAT, THEN WE'RE TO, ONCE YOU'RE FINISHED WITH THAT, WE'RE GOING TO START THE OTHER TRAININGS.
UM, AND ALSO, YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW HOW SHE'S GONNA LOOK AT IT.
WE DON'T KNOW WHAT COVID IS GOING TO BE DOING.
LIKE, SO RIGHT NOW, AS FAR AS THE OTHER STUFF, THE MAJOR BRIEF, AND THEY'RE PROBABLY STILL BE VIRTUAL.
IT DEPENDS ON HOW EVERYTHING IS GOING BY THE TIME.
BUT THE HANDS-ON WE MAY ADD, CAUSE I'M LOOKING AT THE ROOM AND WE CAN PUT UP ROAD TABLES RIGHT THERE AND PROBABLY DO IT AT AT LEAST THAT MANY MORE PEOPLE BACK IN HERE TO DO THE HANDS-ON.
BUT WHEN WE GET STARTED WITH THAT, WE WILL, UH, MORE CLASSES FOR THOSE PEOPLE AND, AND YOUR CLERKS.
AND I, I THINK YOU SHOULD MAKE IT MANDATORY FOR YOUR CLERKS REALLY SHOULD BECAUSE I HAD SOME TELLING ME THAT, YOU KNOW, I HAD, I HAD A CLERK TELLING ME TODAY WITH, YOU KNOW, THESE PEOPLE WAS HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE MACHINE.
HE WAS HAVING TROUBLE WITH SHIT.
SO ME, I WOULD, I WOULD, I WOULD BEHOOVE YOU TO MAKE IT MANDATORY FOR YOUR CLERKS TO COME TO THE HANDS-ON TRAINING.
I MEAN, THE STUFF IS NOT HARD.
AND SOME OF THEM WERE IN SOME OF THEM NOW WE HAVE NEW PEOPLE.
WHO'VE NEVER DONE IT BEFORE PEOPLE HADN'T BEEN AROUND IT BEFORE THEY CAME AND DID AN OUTSTANDING JOB, YOU KNOW? SO THAT LETS ME KNOW THAT YOU MIGHT WANT TO CHANGE OUT CLERKS TO SOME OF YOUR CLERKS REALLY.
AND MARIE WOULD, WOULD, WOULD, WOULD ALSO TELL YOU THIS.
I THINK EVERYBODY KNOWS WHAT IT'S GOING TO BE LIKE IN JUNE.
SO THOSE CLERKS AND PEOPLE WHO DON'T WANT TO CHANGE AND DO THINGS THE RIGHT WAY, YOU MIGHT WANT TO REALLY LOOK AT SCRUBBING BECAUSE THEY'RE GOING TO BE A TON OF PEOPLE WATCHING THIS NOW IN JUNE, ESPECIALLY IN JUNE.
SO YOU WON'T, WE, THE NEWER PEOPLE, THEY LISTEN AND THEY WILL
[00:10:01]
DO THE STUFF, THE ONES THAT WERE DOING IT THEIR OWN WAY, THEIR OWN TIME.THEY'RE STILL TRYING TO DO THAT, EVEN WITH THE NEW STUFF AND IT'S NOT GOING TO WORK.
THERE ARE PEOPLE, THERE ARE, I, I, THERE ARE 3000 ACTIVE, THERE ARE 3,313 POLL WORKERS WHO ARE STILL SAYING THAT THEY'RE ACTIVE ON THAT LIST.
SO IF I SEND YOU A BIG THING OF YOU, I TRY TO BRING YOU YOUR ZIP CODES.
I GO DOWN TO CALL AND SO TRY IT AND YOU'LL GET PEOPLE IN THERE.
I, I WAS WATCHING IN THE BURKE CENTER, BUT THEY HAD THE EPB FACING THE VOTER AND HAVING THEM PUT THE DRIVER'S LICENSE.
AND THEN THEY FLIP IT AROUND, PICK THE PERSON, FLIP IT BACK AROUND AND SIGN IT, FLIP IT BACK AROUND.
WHY DON'T YOU DO IT THE OTHER WAY? THEY SAID, NO, THIS IS THE WAY IT'S WRITTEN UP BECAUSE OF COVID.
CAN WE CHANGE THAT? BECAUSE THAT IS COVERED.
SO YOU REMEMBER SPINNING IT AROUND WHAT EVERYBODY ELSE WAS LOOKING AT THE SCREEN AND TAKING THE DRIVER'S LICENSE, PUTTING IT INTO THAT BECAUSE YOU COULDN'T TOUCH, YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO TOUCH THE CAR.
THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED WAS COVID.
YEAH, BUT I MEAN, WE'RE STILL, WE STILL HAVE TO GO ON THE COVID QUARTER POWER.
WE HAVE TO, WE HAVE TO MANDATE THAT OUR ROBOT WORKERS WEAR THEIR MASK THE WHOLE TIME THEY'RE WORKING WITH A BOOK WITH THE BOULDER UNTIL THEY TELL HER IT'S STILL, THE STATE SAYS, OKAY, Y'ALL CAN DO IT WITH, WITH THAT.
THAT'S THE ONLY IT'S ON THE SIDE.
AND YET IT'S SUPPOSED TO SPIN AROUND.
WE'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO MAKE ANY CONTACT WITH YOU REALLY DON'T YOU, YOU REALLY DON'T MAKE ANY CONTACT WITH ANYTHING OF HIM AT ALL.
EVEN THE BATTLECARD YOU GIVE IT TO THEM AND THEN THEY GO AND WE DON'T TOUCH THE BELL PARK IN IT.
SO YEAH, I HAD TO CLICK THE X ABOUT ASSISTED WITH THE CORRECT IS THEIR GO-TO FOR THAT, THAT, LIKE, WHEN I WAS ALREADY TELLING YOU THAT SHE HASN'T BECAUSE SHE WANTS TO, THAT IS ALREADY, UH, THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN IN PLACE.
Y'ALL HAD ALREADY ADVOCATED THAT THE WAY IT'S SUPPOSED TO WORK IS THAT IF YOU HAVE SOMEBODY THAT YOU LOVE TO BE AN ASSISTANT CLERK WHO WOULD BE THE PICKUP, YOU WOULD HAVE THEM, UH, SHELL.
AND THEY GET PAID THAT ONE TIME AS A SHADOW, BUT THEY HAVE A TITLE OF ASSISTANT CLERK.
SO ANYTIME THEY CAN PULL UP, BUT IT WON'T BE THE CLERK PAID UNLESS THEY'RE A CLERK.
SO WHERE DO YOU PAY THEM? THAT ADDITIONAL TIME TO 1 95 FOR THIS WAS THE SHADOW.
COME WITH THEM TO PICK UP STUFF, HELPING THEM WITH PAPERWORK AND ALL OF THAT.
THE FIRST TIME, JUST ONCE, CAN YOU OUTLINE A LIST OF THINGS THAT THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO DO AND THEN SEND THOSE TO US? OR SHOULD I JUST TAKE NOTES ON IT? WELL, YOU MEAN THE ASSISTANT PERSON? YOU MEAN THE SECOND THING THE CLERK SAY ANYTHING? CLERK.
THEY JUST GO, YEAH, IT'S ALL GT.
ONE TIME THEY GET PAID THE CLERK PAY, BUT THEN THEY KNOW, YOU KNOW, OH, THAT'S MY OTHER CLERK, CASEY.
UM, HISTORICALLY WE DON'T HAVE DECEMBER MEETINGS, SO THANK GOODNESS.
UM, DO WE HAVE A MOTION TO THE DECEMBER MEETING?
AND UNLESS ANYBODY HAS ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? SO I HAVE A MOTION TO ADJOURN THE BOARD TEACHERS IN THE ROOM, JUNE 14TH.
ARE YOU DOING A SESSION OR A SKILL? THERE'S NO SCHOOL.
