This is labor only to erect the building cuz we've done purchased the building, so. And this is metal inside, outside, insulation. All the labor to to build that complete building. Uh another one was $243,580. And another one was $160,000. And we compared all those, and every one of them's apples-to-apples, exactly the same thing that they was going to supply. So, as for the supply of the

labor as far as putting insulation in, doing the inside work, and doing the outside work, and also the roof and everything. So, — I'll make I'll make a motion to take the cheapest bid. — All right.

Josh Bratcher is who got that is who got that bid. So old business old business Okay, old business under this UTV ordinance has been brought up back in July I think was the last time that we spoke of it. And what we wanted to do some research on the KSP for staff crash statistics

and that type thing and apparently they don't have anything just yet that's sort of numbers that they can give out I guess cuz it you know it's so new but uh anyway I said you all probably need to go out and talk to some of your constituency about you know what what you what you want to do and uh some of the guys that came down I asked them I said you probably ought to get with the city too because it's going to create create a problem if we pass something in the county and the city doesn't pass something because nobody's going to stop at the city limits and get off and walk. So that's why we had initially said you probably ought to get with them and see what their plan is and see what their you know see what their idea is and and apparently they went down there I talked to the mayor uh I think it was Tuesday, maybe yesterday, Wednesday, I guess. And um They was wanting to get with everybody and see exactly what we was going to do. So, uh If you want to get with some of the uh uh some of the council members, I mean, you

know, you could. You know, and talk to them, or we could just go ahead and and make a motion and either vote it up, vote it down, have Jeremy write up an ordinance if we decide to pass one. You know, it's completely up to you all. So, I mean, you all talked to the people, I'm sure. And I've talked to a few that's wanted it, but I've honestly talked more that probably don't. So, — I've got more people that don't want it, especially around the lake. — Me, too. I mean, and and besides that, I can't. You know, I've got a problem with a kid getting killed on one or something like that. Uh — I think well, the city's got a 35-mph speed limit, you know, these things are going to be on a 55-mph road, as well. So, out in the county. — And it's my understanding, you know, farmers can already go ahead and use these. If we do pass it, they're going to have to — What's the law as far as the farmers go right now? They can do They can — They can go from from farm to farm, like their land to their — their land, and they can travel certain distance to cross roads. — Mhm. — If If it was to pass, do they have to
