that um per we we haven't as of yet uh Justin's not here but we've done things like that in the past as well okay and and we have so so should I just reach out to to the EMS and and see if there might be some we part yeah you could reach back out to us reach back out to our office and we'll coordinate with Justin and John's here but he can't speak for Justin okay that's fair enough I just know that the it seems like it's going to be hot for the rest of the week and maybe next week as well so I just want to have that thanks so much yes sir Robin Gilford good morning good morning I'm so sad for you all know young man was killed on Friday by the truck sleeping on the side of the expressway on the exits and entrance ramps I am testifying that I called like you instructed that you would

not and what is going to be done are you all even going to step up and ensure that we're safe when we get in on and off the exit ramps are you just going to look at me like nothing happen well first of all you brought this up before and it is a tragedy what happened but as Walt Scher or Sheriff said before this is a you know it's an interstate it's out of our control as Fiscal Court so it even imply that you're putting blame or guilt upon us for somebody losing their life I think it's entirely unacceptable really really what's unacceptable is four five semis parked on the side of the road sleeping and a sheriff sitting on the opposite side of the same exit ramp doing nothing while they sleep and put us in danger every day three were at Brooks this morning does it matter that they're sit there for you I mean you can do something you can advocate for our community I know that and why aren't you this just just kills me that you all will Advocate try I called every day every day I went by there it's on record that's what I could do that's all I can

do but you guys are part of our community you guys are the force of our community and you're not even calling you know this this is so hard for me to stand up here all weekend long I've been sick knowing that someone was going to get killed I almost got killed that's why I got up here you know Step Up help us also have something else to say you know the comprehensive plan we had that meeting you know the the maps were this big he gave us stickers this big and and it was all in um satellite you know when you all make decisions up here you all have a purple and blue and yellow map you know that shows what these things are zoned for I'm asking for a better map to to look at to help to give my information on what I think let's see what else you know I talked to a young man at the um after the last meeting on Thursday night and he said well we have to put up a 100 trees to replace the trees that we
