whoops bottom push it in can you hear me yeah that's better thank you guys for having me um i'm kasia harrington as you all know this is my mother rebel harrington my sister brooklyn harrington and my brother trayvon green um you still can't hear me i'm sorry did you guys hear my family introduction that's better okay okay well yeah that's my mom rebel harrington my sister brooklyn and my brother trayvon green to speak a little bit about my experience and the transition i'll be taking from ellensboro to harvard believe it or not it'll probably be the exact same type of environment as many of you all well you may know if you read any of the things that i talk about whenever i've been in the news own sprawl the ap track is very elite it's very exclusive it's very conservative but not in the right way and i think that that's going to be following me to harvard but similarly to how i got to harvard i don't think that i'll ever succumb to that or accept that for just injustice for just is as amanda gordon says and that i'll consistently fight to not necessarily compromise

with vital deals but try to teach people where my values come from and why i so strongly believe in empathy and helping other people and just being very aware of the privilege that we have and how we can utilize it to better humanity and i hope to do that at harvard as well it looks like you're done well you know keisha we need lots of young people like you to to set the example for the other young people in this community uh it just thrills me that we're going to have the opportunity to send someone to a school as renowned as harvard and then have you come back and hopefully use what you learned the experiences outside of this community i'm an old biologist and in genetics we know that when you bring new genes into the gene pool you make a stronger gene pool and when we send young people out of our community and then they come back they make our community a lot stronger so we're so proud of you we are extremely proud of you and wish you all the success uh in the world commissioners anything that you would like to say just do like um just an outstanding job and we are proud of you and don't forget where we live

i just want to say congratulations to you and wish you well and i know that mom and brother and sister over there are very proud of you as well thank you and for the commissioners i hope you guys use me as an example of what happens when you invest in communities that typically are not invested in like baptism mechanicsville right okay good thank you now you may stay for the rest of this i guarantee you it's going to be boring but if you want to stay you're welcome too if you want to leave you won't you won't hurt our feelings all right yes all right next item jenny b davis county fiscal court audit report for year ending june 30 2021. mr hendricks as you know we have an annual audit this is the final approved audit report from the state apa reports clean the uh all the monies were supposed to be all the bank accounts reconciled all the reports were filed appropriately there's only one what looks to be a like a little negative glitch at the end of the letter to state the davis county fiscal court submitted ineligible

expenses for reimbursement from the corona virus relief line that actually stems from a disagreement between dlg davis county fiscal court and the auditor's office however it was easily reconciled we just amended the report that we filed with dlg because what happened was the first pay period we paid in in march was actually from a pay period in february we thought it was okay because that's when it was paid dlg said that's fine auditors took a different issue so we just modified the period we picked up one later same net result so we now have submitted no ineligible expenses and we also did not have to return any of the money so all in all the the report is good that the books and finances of davis county fiscal court are recorded as they should be and everything's in good shape okay questions if not uh the report's on file with the clerk uh at our davis k fiscal offices 212 saint ann anyone that wants to see it and read through it's welcome to i wouldn't advise it because you'll fall asleep
