SO IF THIS ORDER PASSES, IT RUNS FROM NOW UNTIL CANVASS, AND THEN IT DOES NOTHING PERMANENT. IT JUST PREVENTS US FROM HAVING TO ADD A 14TH POLLING PLACE, WHICH WOULD REQUIRE MORE EQUIPMENT, MORE MANPOWER, AND HAVING TO FIND A LOCATION WHEN WE'RE KIND OF STRUGGLING TO FIND SUITABLE LOCATIONS ALREADY.

AND ALL OF THE RESULTS, EVERYTHING, EVERYTHING GETS REPORTED STILL AS IF THEY WERE THEIR OWN INDIVIDUAL. IT REALLY IS IN NAME ONLY THAT THEY ARE COMBINED. OKAY. IT'S ONLY FOR THIS ELECTION, CORRECT? YES. AND IT'S ONLY FOR THE ELECTION. IT'S NOT PERMANENT. IT JUST GOES ON OUR WEBSITE LETTING PEOPLE KNOW THAT WE'RE, IN THEORY, HAVING 26 PRECINCTS. OKAY, OKAY. VERY GOOD. THANK YOU.

RIGHT. I HAVE SOME QUESTIONS HERE BEFORE WE GET TO A VOTE. FIRST, I BELIEVE THIS IS BECAUSE THE PRECINCT TWO IS NOT ON THE C K NEWBERRY CONTRACT LIKE PRECINCT ONE AND PRECINCT FOUR ARE. IS THAT CORRECT? THE ACTUAL I THINK THE INVITATION TO BID WAS FOR JUST FOR NEVER BEEN IN THERE PRICE. THERE WAS A PRICE SCHEDULE WHENEVER WE WENT OUT BACK IN JUNE OF LAST OR MAYBE MAY OF LAST YEAR, THE CONTRACT WAS SIGNED AND, AND OR THE AGREEMENT WAS SIGNED IN JUNE. BUT THE THERE WERE ONLY THERE'S ONLY A PRICE SCHEDULE. AND I THINK THE THE INVITATION WAS ONLY FOR FOR PRECINCT, ONLY FOR. OKAY, OKAY. BECAUSE I HAVE C K [00:30:06] NEWBERRY DOING WORK IN ACCORDANCE WITH THAT CONTRACT. THAT'S WHY I ASKED. THAT'S RIGHT. YOU KNOW. SO. ALL RIGHT. VERY GOOD. AND SO THE CONTRACT. YEAH. BUT THE BUT THE AGREEMENT IS IT STATES COUNTY. IT NEVER IT DOES NOT STATE SPECIFICALLY A SPECIFIC PRECINCT. OKAY.

AND SO ACCORDING TO CODE, OUR OFFICE CAN'T APPROVE WITHOUT DOING WORK WITH THIS AMENDMENT, WE NEED TO HAVE KIND OF LEGAL TERM, LEGAL SITUATION. WE NEED TO BRING YOU A CODE RIGHT AWAY IF WE'RE DOING SO. SO WE HAVE A POA. YOU DO ISSUED AUGUST 7TH. OKAY. BUT THE ISSUE IS IT JUST IT WAS AFTER THE FACT THAT THE WORK WAS DONE. YEAH. COURT WAS.

THAT'S WHY I JUST AFTER THE PRICE, BUT NOT BEFORE THE WORK, BUT BEFORE THE WORK IS DONE THOUGH. OKAY. RIGHT. ALL RIGHT. SO I BETTER GET YOU A POA RIGHT AWAY THEN. SO. YES, SIR.

AND SO DISCUSSING WITH JOHN, THE CONCEPT THAT HE CAME UP WITH WAS, WELL, WE'LL JUST ADD THIS ON TO THE EXISTING CONTRACT, WHICH I DIDN'T. I DIDN'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT. I MEAN, IF THAT'S WHAT HE TELLS ME TO DO, THAT'S WHAT I'LL DO. BUT WHAT WE DIDN'T DO AT THE TIME WAS PUT OUR PURCHASE ORDER IN OR, OR COME PUT AN AGENDA ITEM ON.
