Wait, — that actually might have been I don't know if it was Andrew's note, but uh there was a pile of garbage on road by the street that I had been about picking up. — What was it? — It could be too. I'm not sure. But it it is looks like 6105. That is for miscellaneous. We get clarification on it, but that's what it was. Probably something that was picked up along the road. We We do that quite a bit. Unfortunately, — and we really don't have a line item for that. So, — okay. Anything else? Hearing none.

— Squire more. Is there a second? — Second. — Second. All right. Okay. Any questions? — I do want to make a note in here because it may be confusing um on this set of claims but won't be going forward. Quick Corner was bought out. Um, so you'll see like the Camela and Camela 2 is the old Quick Corner and then the ones that say Quick Co and Quick Two is the new. Um, the one by Oh, Ace Hardware is going by US60 Valora. And then the one right here by the post office is going by 208 South Main Street Marathon. But they're still going to be called Quick Corner. So that's why it's a little bit different this time is cuz we're closing out that account and and switch it switch it over to the new one. So — okay, anything else? Hearing none, please. — Square Greenwell, — yes. — Judge Lucas, Squire Albbright, — Square Moore, yes. — Square Henning, — yes. — Square Armstrong, — yes. — Square Beavenon, — yes. — You know, yes, this claims approved. Next item is there's no old business. The first item of new business is the road performance report. John,

— as we're running into coming into winter, already had some pretty cold days and snow. We're back to graing and rocking and uh doing some long arming and we have got the ditcher on one of the tractors at this point. No one's done with. We got the ditcher on one of the tractors and we're starting to try to make the round through the county with the ditcher. Uh there's a lot of roads of course and usually come springtime the ditcher comes off and the mower goes back on. So he usually tries to just go from road to road. But you know if the ditcher if you know for a fact that the ditcher's in your area and you've got a road that needs ditches opened up, you might want to say something to us just to make sure that it doesn't get missed. Um, we've got a number of roads that have had digouts done on this past year in anticipation of black top. Some of those roads, of course, haven't been black topped yet. And so, we we're dealing with the fact that the digouts that we've done have settled some, so we're

having to go back and smooth those up. That's about it. Nothing Nothing too new. We mo most of our equipment is we got a couple things down, most of it fixed and back on the road. — Uh this past week, we had a we had two or three pickup trucks that went down on us and we pretty well got them back together and back running again. We still have one that's down. Uh we're probably going to have to uh seek some help from them keep Butler or somebody on on it. Um but the uh other than that we've gotten most of everything else took care of finally. — We did lose a couple more employees this past week. Their last two of them their last eight was Friday. So that's something to keep in mind as well. — Y is that big dinner on Raymond Loberg been doing — on Raymond Loberg? I sent y'all text on it last week or week before. It's it's going to have to have quite a bit of dig work cuz if not it's going to get right back in the same shape too. — It's pretty bad. It's where we've done that new black bad shape.

— We've got a number of roads that not even is that aren't even on the haven list or anything. We've got a number of roads that have soft spots that we're going to have to do some digouts on and some ditch work on them. You take some of these roads in the county that don't have adequate ditch and drainage and then your water ends up just sitting on the sides of the road and of course it over time it seeps into the road bed and causes your soft spots. — Are we putting out anything on trying to get some applications? We haven't yet talked about maybe on the mechanics position to talk to a couple people. — Yeah. — Do we uh have we ever done any exit interviews? — What the exit? No. — Um can we look at doing something like that from here on out? Yeah. — Why we can't retain people whether it's, — you know, money, environment, or anything. I mean, I think uh knowing why

they're leaving is uh could be beneficial in helping us correct some things. — In all honesty, I think if you're going to do exit interviews, I don't think that I don't think that Jeff would be the best ones to give exit interviews. If you're wanting If you're wanting good honest communication from someone, their their immediate supervisors probably aren't the best person to give a an exit interview to. They probably needs to be a someone, you know, a little more neutral like one of the girls from up here at the office or something. I mean, exit interview could be as simple as just a handful of questions and someone write out their answers, you know, for that matter. What percent of the black topping got done this half of the year do you believe? — Um I I don't I didn't bring my paperwork with me. Um you know you've got something like there's 30 some roads on the list. I'd say there — I think we have 17 left. — Yeah. — But as far I mean I've got it in my office if you want me to go to tell you.
