principles and it not intended to be it is not necessary to comply with the state of kentucky's rules which we do uh anyway the bottom line for all that is that i concur with the balances and believe them to be true and correct to the best of my knowledge and belief i have submitted the fourth quarter report to dlg and have heard nothing on the preliminary review for that with that if once the court approves we are already in contact with the auditor the audit will begin in the i believe second week of september so with that i would request your approval jim so this is subject to that final audit that we get every year correct uh and lastly details of all these transactions are available at your office monday through friday during normal working hours anyone wants to see it questions or comments commissioner [Music] question or comment by the public no scott you can't ask a question there being none all in favor uh signify by saying aye aye opposed motion gary's next item d order of allowance to the board of assessment appeals

you don't have to i can that's good uh dr scott williams is here to make sure that we approve this lease we have approximately a 28-acre track at the corner of fours and 231. is this the third year or fourth year fourth year several years ago dr williams came to fiscal court and said that they had a ag tech some agricultural programs that they were teaching they would like to lease a couple of acres on the back side near the the ditch and the old road bed uh we said absolutely fine but in return we expect you to maintain the entire 28 acres so they mow it keep the trash off of it it's a good deal for both sides is that a fair assessment yeah okay this this is just renewing that lease for one year and octz may extend it for four additional one-year terms any questions or comments yeah if he could refresh my memory what he does with that uh property dr williams come up and tell us what those programs are all about

[Music] talk loud i can probably talk a lot enough you all know me that well so anyway so our agricultural technology program is a two-year program designed for students that are going into the agricultural industry so the property gives us the opportunity to get those students some hands-on experience with agronomy so growing any type of agronomic crop so we've done corn some years we've done vegetables and so that gives them the opportunity we've got the equipment that they need we just the the land gives us an opportunity to have a site to do that so it's basically you can think of it as an outdoor lab it gives them the opportunity to do some hands-on experience with agricultural production i don't think we would care but but do you ever see a need where you might expand over the the small portion that you're using for that there could be a day when that occurred so you know but right now the four acres typically is plenty for us so uh we would uh but if that opportunity ever arose we certainly would come back to you guys and that might be an option
