[26-I-57 A RESOLUTION OF THE QUORUM COURT OF PULASKI COUNTY APPOINTING WILLIAM WESLEY WALKER TO SOLEMNIZE THE MARRIAGE OF NATHANIEL LEE STARK AND KATIE RUTHANN JONES IN PULASKI COUNTY, ARKANSAS, ON SEPTEMBER 19, 2026.]

MADAM CLERK, PLEASE READ IT FOR US WHEN YOU'RE READY.

A RESOLUTION OF THE QUORUM COURT OF PULASKI COUNTY APPOINTING WILLIAM WESLEY WALKER TO SOLEMNIZE THE MARRIAGE OF NATHANIEL LEIGH STARK AND KATIE RUTHANN JONES IN PULASKI COUNTY, ARKANSAS ON SEPTEMBER 19TH, 2026.

MISS CURRY, YOU'RE RECOGNIZED FOR A MOTION. MOVE FOR APPROVAL.

SECOND. MEMBERS, YOU'VE HEARD THE MOTION. YOU'VE HEARD THE SECOND. ARE THERE ANY COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS REGARDING RESOLUTION 26-I-57? THANK YOU. DO YOU HAVE A QUESTION? I DO. SO THE PROBLEM WITH THIS THE SYSTEM.

IF YOUR LIGHTS ARE INITIATED, YOUR MIC HAS TO BE OFF.

WHEN YOUR MIC IS ON, YOU WON'T ACCEPT IT. AND USUALLY IT'S A WHACK A MOLE THING TRYING TO KEEP UP WITH THE MICROPHONE. SO IF THE COURT PREFERS THAT THE MICROPHONES BE OFF SO THAT YOUR BUTTONS WORK, I'M GLAD TO DO THAT. I LIKE IT THAT WAY, BUT.

ANYBODY CARE? IT DOESN'T MATTER TO ME. DOESN'T MATTER.

SOUNDS LIKE GENERAL LACK OF CARING. IF YOU WANT IT OFF OR ON.

YOU CHOOSE. BUT I DO HAVE A QUESTION. GO AHEAD.

I'M SORRY? I DO HAVE A QUESTION. YOU'RE RECOGNIZED FOR THE QUESTION, MISS DAVIS.

DIANE, CAN YOU EXPLAIN THIS? WELL, I WOULD LIKE FOR MR. BLAGG TO EXPLAIN, BUT THEY ARE IN MY DISTRICT.

RIGHT. SO THIS IS ONE OF THE RARE THINGS THAT THE QUORUM COURT DOES.

WE HAVEN'T DONE IT IN A LONG TIME, BUT THE QUORUM COURT HAS THE ABILITY TO ALLOW SOMEBODY TO SOLEMNIZE A WEDDING.

IS THAT RIGHT? YES. WITHIN THE COUNTY. SO.

TO PERFORM A WEDDING. YOU GIVE THEM BASICALLY A ONE DAY, ONE VENUE OPPORTUNITY TO OFFICIATE A WEDDING WITHIN THE COUNTY.

AND THEN AFTER THAT WEDDING, IN THE SPECIFIC TIME AND DATE AND PEOPLE, THEN IT CEASES TO BE VALID.

BUT WE HAVEN'T DONE ONE IN A WHILE, BUT WE'VE DONE QUITE A FEW OF THEM OVER THE YEARS.

SO THIS IS NOT ENTIRELY UNCOMMON. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? MADAM CLERK, THERE BEING NONE, PLEASE CALL THE ROLL FOR THE ADOPTION OR THE APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION 26-I-57.

[00:10:31]

1 ABSENT AND 14 AYES. THANK YOU, MADAM CLERK.

JUSTICE CURRY, YOU. 13 AYES. 13? OKAY. YOU'VE PASSED YOUR RESOLUTION.

THANK YOU. JUSTICE. MADAM CLERK, PLEASE READ FOR US RESOLUTION 26-I-59.

[26-I-59 A RESOLUTION OF THE QUORUM COURT OF PULASKI COUNTY AUTHORIZING THE PULASKI COUNTY JUDGE TO SUBMIT AN APPLICATION TO THE ARKANSAS ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION FOR AN ARKANSAS COMMUNITY ASSISTANCE GRANT.]

26-I-59. A RESOLUTION OF THE QUORUM COURT OF PULASKI COUNTY AUTHORIZING THE PULASKI COUNTY JUDGE TO SUBMIT AN APPLICATION TO THE ARKANSAS ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION FOR AN ARKANSAS COMMUNITY ASSISTANCE GRANT.

JUSTICE KEITH, YOU'RE RECOGNIZED FOR THE MOTION. I MOVE FOR THE ADOPTION.

YOU'VE HEARD THE SECOND. ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS REGARDING RESOLUTION 26-I-59? THERE BEING NONE. MADAM CLERK, CALL THE ROLL FOR THE ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION 26-I-59.

13 AYES, 1 ABSENT. THANK YOU, MADAM CLERK. JUSTICE KEITH, YOU PASSED YOUR RESOLUTION.

NOW READ FOR US, MADAM CLERK, WHEN YOU'RE READY, RESOLUTION 26-I-60.

[26-I-60 A RESOLUTION OF THE QUORUM COURT OF PULASKI COUNTY ACKNOWLEDGING THE BALLOT INITIATIVE ALLOWING THE CITIZENS OF JACKSONVILLE, ARKANSAS, TO DECIDE WHETHER TO REPLACE THE CURRENT AT-LARGE CITY COUNCIL VOTING SYSTEM WITH A WARD-BASED SYSTEM.]

A RESOLUTION OF THE QUORUM COURT OF PULASKI COUNTY, ACKNOWLEDGING THE BALLOT INITIATIVE ALLOWING CITIZENS OF JACKSONVILLE, ARKANSAS, TO DECIDE WHETHER TO REPLACE THE AT LARGE CITY COUNCIL VOTING SYSTEM WITH A WARD BASED SYSTEM.

I THOUGHT WE DID THIS ONE LAST.

OKAY. SO WE'VE DONE A RESOLUTION LIKE THIS BEFORE? I MEAN, THIS SOUNDS KIND OF CONFUSING. WE'RE GETTING INTO A VOTE.

WE'RE ENDORSING A VOTE IN THE CITY OF JACKSONVILLE ON THEIR BOARD.

IT IS NOT ENDORSING. IT JUST SAYS YOU'RE ACKNOWLEDGING THAT IT WAS SUBMITTED TO THE CLERK'S OFFICE, SIR. IS THIS YOURS? YES. BY LAW. YOU'RE REQUIRED TO DO THIS BY LAW? YES. IS THAT CORRECT? I'VE JUST NEVER SEEN THIS BEFORE.

I DON'T KNOW IS A LEGAL ANSWER. I DON'T KNOW IS A LEGAL ANSWER.

OKAY. SO THERE IS A PROVISION FOR COUNTY LARGE, AT LARGE ORDINANCES TO RECEIVE SOME TYPE OF AT LARGE BALLOT INITIATIVES TO RECEIVE SOME TYPE OF ACKNOWLEDGMENT FROM THE QUORUM COURT AND STATE.

BUT THE BEING THAT THIS IS JACKSONVILLE, THE QUESTION AS TO WHETHER OR NOT SOMETHING WAS NEEDED COULDN'T BE ANSWERED.

AND SO THIS IS BEING DONE TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE COMPLIED WITH ALL OUR OBLIGATIONS THAT WE KNOW OF.

OKAY. BUT IT IS JUST AN ACKNOWLEDGMENT THAT THEY HAVE FOLLOWED THE CORRECT PROCEDURE FOR A BALLOT INITIATIVE.

IT IS NOT US SAYING WE AGREE, WE SUPPORT. IT IS JUST SAYING THEY FOLLOWED THE LAW.

THAT'S JUST AN ACKNOWLEDGMENT. AS A COURTESY TO OUR MAYORS WHO WE ALWAYS TRY TO GET ALONG WITH, JACKSONVILLE'S MAYOR HAS CALLED AND ASKED THAT WE NOT APPROVE THIS.

SO I PASSED THAT ON. WE'VE ALREADY READ IT, HAVEN'T WE?

[00:15:04]

YOU JUST READ IT, DIDN'T YOU? I DID READ IT, YES.

GREAT. IS MISS YOUNG-BAKER HERE? MISS WARD, WOULD YOU LIKE TO MOTION FOR THIS TO BE ADOPTED? YES. I'LL MAKE THE MOTION FOR THE ADOPTION. RIGHT.

SECOND? SECOND. YES.

RESOLUTION 26-I-60? I BELIEVE AARON WAS FIRST AND THEN WANTED TO MAKE A CALL.

MR. ROBINSON, YOU'RE RECOGNIZED FOR A QUESTION. THANK YOU, JUDGE. SO ONCE AGAIN, BEING A RESIDENT OF JACKSONVILLE, I DO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THIS RESOLUTION, SPECIFICALLY THE THIRD WHEREAS.

IF YOU ACTUALLY READ THE THIRD WHEREAS, IT SAYS THAT THE QUORUM COURT ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE CITIZENS OF JACKSONVILLE DESIRE TO REPLACE THE CURRENT AT LARGE.

SO IT SOUNDS LIKE THE CITIZENS OF JACKSONVILLE HAVE ALREADY VOTED, WHICH IS NOT THE CASE.

SO THE THIS RESOLUTION BEING TOLD TO US THAT IT IS JUST AN ACKNOWLEDGMENT.

AND IF YOU READ THE WORDS, THE ENGLISH. IT'S FALSE.

ALSO THE CITY COUNCIL OF JACKSONVILLE VOTED AGAINST THIS ISSUE.

I BELIEVE IT IS EITHER A 9 TO 1 OR 8 TO 2 VOTE THAT THEY.

THIS THAT THE CITY COUNCIL DOES NOT WANT WARD BASED.

REPRESENTATION. THEY WANT A CITY BASED ELECTION.

SO I SAY ALL THAT IN THE RESOLUTION IN ITS CURRENT FORM, I DON'T THINK WE NEED TO APPROVE IT, AND I YIELD. MISS DAVIS, YOU'RE RECOGNIZED. CAN WE MAKE A MOTION TO AMEND IT AND TAKE OUT THOSE, SO WE'RE ONLY STATING THAT THEY HAVE COMPLETED WHAT THEY NEED TO, BUT TAKE OUT THE PART WHERE IT INCLUDES THE WHOLE PART OF JACKSONVILLE? SO YOU'RE ASKING IF IT'S APPROPRIATE FOR YOU TO MAKE AN AMENDMENT TO PROPOSE AN AMENDMENT? YES, IT IS. YES. I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO AMEND THIS RESOLUTION AND TAKE OUT LIKE STRIKE. THE FIRST ONE IS ACCURATE. THE SECOND ONE CAN BE FACTUAL.

THE THIRD ONE COULD BE AN OPINION. SO STRIKE THE THIRD PARAGRAPH THAT AARON STATED.

AND STRIKE THE FOURTH IS MY MOTION. LET ME GET THIS.

YOUR AMENDMENT IS IN THE BODY, NOT IN THE TITLE.

CORRECT. YES, SIR. LET ME GET THERE, PLEASE. THAT'S MY 60.

OKAY. ARE YOU HAVE YOU GOT OPENED UP TO 60? IF I CAN FIND IT IN THIS MIXED UP MESS. TWO.

I DON'T HAVE IT. I HAVE A QUESTION. YOU GUYS HAVE IT IN YOUR BOOK? NO. OH, YOU DON'T HAVE BOOKS? I HAVE IT. IT'S ONLINE.

LET ME SEE WHICH ONE. CAN I ASK A QUESTION WHILE WE TRY TO FIND THIS? TO LET. LET'S, LET'S LET'S TAKE THE TIME TO TRY AND MAKE SURE WE HAVE THIS AMENDMENT CORRECT.

OKAY. JUST BEAR WITH ME. YES, SIR. YOU. KNOW, JUST JUST BECAUSE IT'S OPINION.

MR. BLAGG, I DON'T HAVE 60 IN MY BOOK. I DON'T HAVE IT EITHER.

WE DON'T HAVE IT. I'M JUST LOOKING AT IT ON THE IPAD. DO YOU HAVE IT ON THE IPAD? YEAH, I JUST CLICKED IT ON THERE.

I NEED THE BODY, NOT THE TITLE. YEAH. JUST YOU CAN CLICK THE BLUE THING. I NEED THE BODY.

THAT'S WHAT I NEED. THERE WE GO. THERE WE GO.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. YOU READY TO COPY DOWN WHAT THE AMENDMENT IS? CERTAINLY. CAN YOU GIVE IT TO US AGAIN, MISS DAVIS, PLEASE? YES. IT'S EVERYTHING EXCEPT. PLEASE STRIKE THE THIRD AND FOURTH, WHEREAS.

THIRD. AND AT LINE 31. IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE SAYING? YES, SIR. LINE 31 THROUGH LINE 43. MADAM CLERK, DO YOU HAVE THAT? YES. DOES EVERYBODY HERE UNDERSTAND CLEARLY WHAT THE AMENDMENT PROPOSED AMENDMENT IS?

[00:20:04]

YES, I HAVE A QUESTION. I HAD A QUESTION ALSO WHETHER IT NEEDS A SECOND.

YES, IT NEEDS A SECOND. SECOND. SECOND. WHERE? WE HAVE A MOTION FROM JUSTICE DAVIS. AND WE HAVE A SECOND FROM JUSTICE.

CAPPS IS THAT CORRECT, MISS CAPPS. LEWISON. BLACKWOOD.

LEWISON. LEWISON. GIVE IT TO LEWISON. ONE THREE.

DID ANYBODY OUT THERE? SO THAT'S JUST SAYING THEY MET THE REQUIREMENTS.

FOR THAT. WHY. ARE WE DOING. SO YOU HAVE YOU HAVE IT. MISS. CURRY. YES, I DO WANT I DID WANT TO SAY SO, BUT WE HAD JUSTICE PERSONS HAD ASKED FOR A QUESTION.

I WANTED TO MAKE SURE EVERYBODY GOT WHAT WAS IN FRONT OF THEM.

STRAIGHT JUSTICE PERSON. YOU'RE RECOGNIZED FOR A QUESTION OR COMMENT? YES, I WAS WANTED, PERHAPS DIRECTED AT JUSTICE DAVIS INQUIRING ABOUT THE REASONING FOR STRIKING THE FOURTH, WHEREAS ON LINE 39.

MAY I HAVE THE FLOOR? MAY I HAVE THE FLOOR, JUDGE.

JUDGE. CAN I HAVE THE FLOOR? OKAY. I'LL JUST TAKE IT.

BECAUSE IT IT DOES INSINUATE THAT THE CITY COUNCIL OR WHATEVER, WHATEVER THEY ARE, ARE DIRECTLY CONNECTED TO WHERE THEY THEY LIVE. SO AGAIN, TO ME, IT'S JACKSONVILLE. SO WHATEVER THEY WANT TO VOTE ON AND DO, THAT'S UP TO THEM.

SO I JUST FEEL COMFORTABLE TO VOTE ON THE PART THAT THEY HAVE MET THE T'S OF THE LAW.

BUT I WOULD LIKE TO LEAVE ALL OPINIONS AT LEAST MYSELF TO JACKSONVILLE AND LET THEM, YOU KNOW, DUKE IT OUT. I YIELD. IT JUST SEEMS LIKE FROM LINE 39 TO LINE 43. WELL, IF YOU WANT THAT ONE IN, WE CAN KEEP IT IN IF IT'LL HELP IT GET THROUGH.

WELL, I'M JUST TRYING TO GET SOME UNDERSTANDING, BUT YEAH, I MEAN LET'S SEE.

YEAH. IT DOESN'T NECESSARILY SEEM LIKE AN OPINION, BUT YOU KNOW IT.

DOESN'T SEEM LIKE AN OPINION HERE. I'M NOT SAYING THAT I DON'T NECESSARILY DON'T WANT TO JUST GATHER SOME INFORMATION.

JUST TAKE OUT 31. WOULD YOU ALL PLEASE PULL THE MICROPHONE TO YOUR MOUTH SO THAT WE HAVE AN ACCURATE RECORD OF WHAT TOOK PLACE TODAY? TERRY, CAN WE JUST TAKE OUT LINES 31 THROUGH 37, PLEASE? SO SO ARE YOU CHANGING YOUR AMENDMENT? I AM. COULD YOU REPROPOSE IT FOR US? I WOULD LIKE TO CHANGE MY AMENDMENT, PLEASE. WE'RE GOING TO INCLUDE LINES 39 THROUGH 43 AND JUST TAKE OUT LINES 31 THROUGH 37, PLEASE. 31 THROUGH 37. YES, MA'AM.

OKAY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. QUESTIONS.

EVERYBODY UNDERSTAND THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT? MISS CURRY.

YOU'RE RECOGNIZED. WELL, I'D JUST LIKE TO SAY THAT I'M NOT AGAINST ANY ORGANIZATION THAT WORKED TO HELP PUT THIS RESOLUTION TOGETHER, BUT IT WAS A LITTLE BIT MISLEADING.

I WOULDN'T I WOULDN'T FAMILIAR WITH ALL THE OTHER THINGS THAT HAD GONE ON, JUST LIKE I'M SURE THE REST OF US ARE MAYBE IN THE SAME SITUATION, BUT IT IS A MUNICIPALITY VERSUS THE COUNTY, AND I DON'T FEEL EXACTLY COMFORTABLE SIGNING OFF, ESPECIALLY WITH THE SITUATION BEING WITH THE MAYOR ASKING THAT IT BE PULLED FROM JACKSONVILLE.

THANK YOU. THAT'S MY COMMENT. ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? THERE BEING NONE, MA'AM. YES, MISS DAVIS, YOU WANT TO CLOSE FOR YOUR AMENDMENT IF I CAN.

I WOULD JUST LIKE TO RESPOND TO THAT. OKAY. PLEASE.

I HAVE THE SAME EXACT FEELING. AND THAT'S WHY I DID ASK TO TAKE OUT THE LINE 31 THROUGH 37, BECAUSE IT TAKES AWAY THAT SENTIMENT. AND ALL WE ARE SAYING IS THAT THEY DID WHAT THEY NEEDED TO DO FOR THE LAW, NOT. AND SO WE'RE TAKING OUT THE PART THAT KIND OF GIVES THE THE MORE.

MORE DEFINING IT AND MORE OPINIONATED PIECE. THAT'S JUST I YIELD BACK.

THANK YOU. LOOKS LIKE THERE'S BEING NONE. MADAM CLERK, PLEASE CALL THE ROLL FOR THE APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT NUMBER ONE FOR 26 RESOLUTION 26 I 60. I GOT THAT RIGHT. GOOD.

[00:25:07]

SO IT'S 26 I 60, AS AMENDED. THE AMENDMENT? NO.

WE'RE VOTING ON JUST JUST THE AMENDMENT NOW. JUST THE AMENDMENT.

WE HAVEN'T WE HAVEN'T VOTED ON THE ON THE ITEM YET.

YOU WANT TO PLEASE NOW READ FOR US THE ITEM 26 I 61.

I DON'T KNOW HOW. I DON'T HAVE IT.

RESOLUTION EXPRESSING SUPPORT FOR THE PROTECTION OF THE VOTING DISTRICTS OF THE ELECTORS OF PULASKI COUNTY.

JUSTICE OF THE PEACE DISTRICT 10. AND FOR THE CERTIFICATION OF ALL LAWFULLY CAST VOTES FOR THE DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY ELECTION ON MARCH 3RD, 2026. JUSTICE CURRY YOU RECOGNIZE FOR THE MOTION.

I MOVE APPROVAL. SECOND. MEMBERS YOU'VE HEARD THE MOTION.

YOU'VE HEARD THE SECOND. ARE THERE QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS REGARDING RESOLUTION 26 I 61.

MR. CHAIR, I'D LIKE TO MAKE A COMMENT. MISS CURRY, YOU RECOGNIZED.

YES. I'D LIKE TO SAY THIS IS TRULY AN EXPRESSION, AND IT'S BEEN ON THE BOOKS WITH DISCUSSION OF THE VOTES NOT BEING RELEASED, ALTHOUGH WE KNOW IT'S IN THE COURT SYSTEM.

BUT I DID RECEIVE AND KNOW SEVERAL PEOPLE FROM DISTRICT 10 THAT REALLY EXPRESS THEY FEEL THAT THEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO AT LEAST KNOW WHAT THE ACTUAL VOTE WAS. AND THAT'S THE REASON WHY I PRESENTED THIS RESOLUTION.

IT'S FROM THE PEOPLE OF THAT DISTRICT. AND THERE'S QUITE A FEW, I'M SURE, IN HERE TONIGHT FROM DISTRICT 10.

AND ITS ONLY THAT EXPRESSION THAT I WANTED TO MAKE AN EFFORT.

SO, MEMBERS.

OKAY. WASN'T THERE AN ISSUE FROM THE COURT TO NOT COUNT THOSE VOTES? SO DO WE JUST WANT TO DO THIS, OR DO WE THINK THAT WE CAN OVERRIDE A CIRCUIT COURT HERE? WELL, I'M JUST ASKING, I DIDN'T. CAN I JUST COMMENT FURTHER? I DID NOT KNOW THAT IT WAS IN THE COURT ORDER ITSELF.

IF I NEED TO PULL THE ORDINANCE, PULL THE RESOLUTION, IT STILL IS AN EXPRESSION FROM THE PEOPLE.

THE PEOPLE SPEAK JUST LIKE PEOPLE ARE HERE TONIGHT TO SPEAK.

AND EXCUSE ME, WITH THE SELLOUT SIGN, YOU CAN TAKE IT DOWN.

EXCUSE ME. YOU CAN TAKE IT DOWN. MA'AM? NO SHOUTING OUT NOW, NO SPEAKING OUT.

PLEASE RESPECT THE DECORUM OF THE ROOM. BUT IT IS AN EXPRESSION.

SO IF I DO NEED TO PULL IT BACK BECAUSE OF THE COURT ORDER, I'M WILLING TO DO THAT.

BUT IT IS AN EXPRESSION FROM THE PEOPLE THAT VOTED IN THOSE ELECTIONS.

AND THEY WANT TO KNOW. JUSTICE WARD, YOU'RE RECOGNIZED.

I'M JUST TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT'S YOUR INTEREST FOR DISTRICT 10? IF YOUNG-BAKER REPRESENTS DISTRICT 10, HOW DID THAT BECOME YOUR INTEREST? I CAN JUST SAY THAT SEVERAL PEOPLE FEEL LIKE STILL THEY'RE NOT BEING TOTALLY REPRESENTED WITH SEVERAL GROUPS THAT HAVE APPROACHED. I MEAN, I'M NOT AGAINST ANYONE, BUT IF PEOPLE EXPRESS, I FEEL THAT IT IS RIGHT FOR US TO BRING THINGS FORWARD, FOR AT LEAST LET PEOPLE KNOW THAT THERE ARE CONCERNS AND MAYBE THINGS CAN BE WORKED OUT BETTER WITH THE REPRESENTATIVE OF THAT DISTRICT.

WELL, I CAN IF I NEED TO. EXCUSE ME. OTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS REGARDING 26-I-61.

MISS BLACKWOOD. YES. CAN WE GET AN OPINION FROM THE COUNTY ATTORNEY?

[00:35:06]

YES, MA'AM. SO THIS DISTRICT 10 AND SPECIFICALLY THE ELECTION, THE PRIMARY ELECTION THAT WAS HELD ON MARCH 3RD INCLUDED A CANDIDATE. AND I WANT TO BE RESPECTFUL OF THAT CANDIDATE.

IF SHE DOESN'T WANT HER NAME SPOKEN, I DON'T WANT TO SPEAK IT, BUT IF SHE GIVES ME PERMISSION, I WILL. A CANDIDATE WAS INCLUDED ON THAT BALLOT.

THAT WAS DETERMINED BY A COURT TO NOT BE ELIGIBLE TO RUN FOR AND OR HOLD OFFICE IN ARKANSAS.

THAT DOESN'T PRECLUDE FEDERAL ELECTIONS CAN'T RUN FOR THOSE.

BUT THAT ORDER WAS ISSUED BY OUR CIRCUIT COURT ON FEBRUARY 2ND OF THIS YEAR.

IT WAS ISSUED BY OUR 11TH DIVISION AND IT SPECIFICALLY STATES.

OKAY. THANK YOU. THE THE PULASKI COUNTY BOARD OF ELECTION COMMISSIONERS ARE HEREBY ORDERED TO ABIDE BY THE RULING OF THE COURT, AND THE RULING OF THE COURT WAS TO EXCLUDE THAT CANDIDATE FROM THE BALLOT AND OR DO NOT COUNT VOTES CAST FOR THAT CANDIDATE. THE REASON WHY IT WAS TWOFOLD IS BECAUSE BY THE TIME THE ORDER CAME DOWN, THE PROVISIONAL BALLOTS HAD ALREADY BEEN SENT. IT WAS TOO LATE TO REMOVE THAT CANDIDATE FROM THE BALLOT.

AND SO THE ELECTION COMMISSION ABIDED BY A COURT ORDER AND DID NOT COUNT THOSE VOTES.

SO WHEN WE SAY THAT COUNT ALL VOTES, ALL LEGAL VOTES WERE COUNTED, ALL VOTES CAST FOR A LEGAL CANDIDATE WERE COUNTED TO FOR FULL DISCLOSURE, BECAUSE I WANT TO BE VERY TRANSPARENT.

THAT CASE IS BEING APPEALED. YES, IT IS CURRENTLY BEFORE THE SUPREME COURT.

THERE IS NOT A STAY IN PLACE, MEANING THERE'S NOT A STAY OF THIS ORDER IN PLACE, MEANING PULASKI COUNTY ELECTION COMMISSION STILL HAS TO COMPLY WITH THIS ORDER, AND THE SUPREME COURT DECLINED TO GIVE AN EXPEDITED REVIEW OF THIS ISSUE.

OKAY, SO LET ME I'M CONFUSED. SO LET ME ASK A SIMPLE QUESTION.

I JUST WANT TO KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS, NOT HOW TO MAKE THE WATCH. YES, SIR. IS THERE A CIRCUIT COURT ORDER TO NOT COUNT THESE VOTES? TO NOT COUNT VOTES CAST FOR YOU? DOES THAT ANSWER YOUR QUESTION? YES. AND IF I NEED TO PULL IT BACK, I'M GOOD WITH THAT.

WHATEVER I NEED TO DO. WELL, WE'RE. IT'S UNDER CONSIDERATION, MA'AM.

SO ARE THERE ANY ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS THAT YOU ALL WANTED TO MAKE ON ON 26 I 61.

THERE BEING NONE. MADAM CLERK, PLEASE CALL THE ROLL FOR THE ADOPTION OF THE APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION 26 I 61.

MISS MEDLOCK. NO. MR.. ELLIOTT. NO. MR. MCCOY.

YES, YES, MISS MATLOCK, I 12 EYES, TWO ABSENT.

THANK YOU, MADAM CLERK. NOW ORDINANCE 26, I 64.

AN ORDINANCE DECLARING A TEMPORARY 90 DAY MORATORIUM ON THE ACCEPTANCE, PROCESSING REVIEW AND APPROVAL OF ALL NEW AND EXISTING APPLICATIONS FOR PERMITS, ZONING AMENDMENTS AND SITE PLANS FOR HIGH INTENSITY DIGITAL INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS IN THE UNINCORPORATED AREAS OF PULASKI COUNTY. THANK YOU, MADAM CLERK.

MEMBERS. I'LL ACCEPT A MOTION. JUSTICE BLACKWOOD YOU RECOGNIZE I MOVE FOR THE ADOPTION.

SECOND. MEMBERS YOU'VE HEARD THE MOTION. YOU'VE HEARD THE SECOND.

ARE THERE QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS REGARDING 26 I64.

JUSTICE CURRY. YES. COULD WE BRING MR. TAB TOWNSELL UP? I WANTED TO ASK SOMETHING FROM IF WE NEED TO.

IF WE NEED TO DO THAT, THEN LET'S RETURN THIS TO THE AGENDA COMMITTEE WHERE WE HEAR TESTIMONY AND.

POINT OF ORDER. I THINK WE CAN ASK QUESTIONS AT THIS MEETING.

YEAH, THAT'S NOT SOMETHING WE NORMALLY DO. SO.

SO THERE'S REALLY NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AN AGENDA COMMITTEE MEETING AND A QUORUM COURT MEETING. IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE TELLING ME? IT'S NOT MY THING.

CAN I HAVE SOMEONE ASK QUESTIONS? CAN I EXPRESS MY CONCERN? I JUST WANTED TO MAKE A OBSERVATION. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR OF SUSPENDING THESE RULES, WHICH I THINK ARE.

THE RULES INDICATE SO BY SAYING I. THIS ISN'T RULES FOR FOR YOU TO HEAR FROM US.

SO WE NEED TO SUSPEND THE RULES. I THINK THAT YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO SUSPEND THE RULES TO HEAR TESTIMONY.

SO SO UNDER YOUR RULES, THE DISCRETION OF HEARING TESTIMONY DURING DEBATE AT THE QUORUM COURT IS UP TO THE DISCRETION OF THE PRESIDING OFFICER.

THAT IS YOUR RULE. IF YOU WISH TO SUSPEND THAT RULE AND HEAR TESTIMONY, THEN YOU CAN SUSPEND THE RULES TO HEAR TESTIMONY AND ASK QUESTIONS.

OKAY, I MOVE TO SUSPEND THE RULES. SECOND. MEMBERS, YOU'VE HEARD THE MOTION AND THE SECOND, TO SUSPEND THE RULES. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR INDICATE SO BY SAYING I.

I. ANY OPPOSED? NO. OKAY. SO WHOEVER YOU'D LIKE.

OKAY. I'D LIKE FOR MR. TOWNSEND TO COME FORWARD, PLEASE.

I'D JUST LIKE TO ASK RIGHT NOW, CURRENTLY WITH OUR EXISTING CLIENT THAT'S GOT A PERMIT, HAVE THEY MET ALL OF THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE INITIAL APPLICATION? HAVE IS EVERYTHING BEEN SATISFIED TO. THEY HAD A SITE PLAN WITH.

OKAY. EXCUSE ME. SORRY ABOUT THAT. NOW YOUR MIC SHOULD BE HOT.

OKAY. THANK YOU. HEAR ME? YEAH. OKAY. CAN YOU NOT HEAR ME YET? YES. OKAY. THEY DID HAVE A SITE PLAN WITH CONDITIONS LISTED ON IT THAT DATED BACK INTO LAST YEAR.

MAYBE THE YEAR BEFORE. ALL OF THOSE CONDITIONS HAVE BEEN SATISFIED.

SO WHAT I WANTED TO KNOW. THANK YOU. VERY GOOD.

THANK YOU. SURE.

DOES THAT GIVE YOU WHAT YOU WERE LOOKING FOR? WELL, I GUESS THE OTHER PERSON I'D LIKE FOR TO COME FORWARD WOULD BE MR. KELLY. MARK. MARK. OH, THE CHAIR OF THE PLANNING.

MR. WILSON, I'M SORRY. MARK. WILSON. EXCUSE ME.

[00:55:04]

YES, MA'AM. I'M MARK WILSON, CHAIR OF THE PLANNING BOARD.

YES. THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR THE. I BELIEVE YOU ALL PRESENTED THIS ALONG FROM THE PLANNING BOARD TODAY.

CORRECT. THE THIS EMERGENCY ORDINANCE. AND I GUESS I'M ASKING BECAUSE THERE'S A RECOMMENDATION FOR A 30 OR 90 DAY TEMPORARY MORATORIUM.

I'M NOT SURE I WANT TO UNDERSTAND. PROBABLY THE MOST OF THE RATIONALE WHY YOU MADE THAT DECISION.

WELL, THE THE MAIN THING THAT WE DISCUSSED TODAY IN OUR IN OUR MEETING WAS REQUESTING A 90 DAY EXTENSION OF OUR TIME TO CONSIDER THE ORDINANCE BEFORE US.

ON THE HIGH INTENSITY DIGITAL INFRASTRUCTURE USES ORDINANCE.

AND THE MORATORIUM WAS ADDED ON AS A.

PLACEHOLDER TO STOP OTHER PROJECTS FROM COMING IN.

THAT'S, THAT'S WHAT THE BOARD VOTED FOR. SO NOT SO MUCH TO.

STOP THE EXISTING APPLICATION BASED ON WHAT'S HOW IT'S PRESENTED.

I'M JUST TRYING TO MAKE SURE I UNDERSTAND IT SAYS EXISTING AND NEW.

WELL, IT WAS MY IMPRESSION THAT THE BOARD VOTED TO SUSPEND.

WELL, TO SUSPEND CURRENT AND FUTURE APPLICATIONS WHILE WE CONSIDER THIS A NEW ORDINANCE. OKAY. ARE YOU ANYBODY ELSE LIKE TO ASK SOME QUESTIONS? THANK YOU, MR. WILSON. THANK YOU, MR. WILSON.

SO. I'M GOING TO I'M GOING TO REMIND YOU. AND YOU'RE WHAT? I LEFT THE PODIUM ON. SORRY ABOUT THAT. BUT THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO BE ABOUT 56 FIRST.

BECAUSE I'M VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS. THE COUNTY ATTORNEYS HAVE ADVISED US THAT TO STOP AN APPLICATION IS GOING TO SUBJECT US TO SUIT.

AND THEY PREDICT THAT WE WILL LOSE. I KNOW YOU'VE BEEN TOLD OTHERWISE.

YOU DON'T HAVE A VOTE. OKAY. THE THE VAIL PROJECT IS WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.

IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING, I THINK, THAT MR. TAB TOWNSELL HAS JUST CONFIRMED FOR YOU THAT THEY HAVE COMPLIED WITH ALL CURRENT LEGAL REQUIREMENTS THAT THE COUNTY HAS.

I DON'T DENY TO YOU THAT THAT THAT WE SHOULD HAVE ZONING ORDINANCES.

I'VE BEEN PREACHING THAT HERE FOR TEN YEARS, BUT I DON'T BELIEVE THAT THAT YOU'RE GOING TO LEGALLY BE ABLE TO MAKE SOMEONE PAUSE THEIR CONSTRUCTION PROCESS AFTER THEY'VE ALREADY DONE EVERYTHING WE LEGALLY REQUIRE.

SO I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT GOING FORWARD, BECAUSE I'M AFRAID WE'RE GOING TO GET IN A LOT OF TROUBLE AND IT'S GOING TO COST A LOT OF MONEY. SO FOLKS, IF YOU GOT A COMMENT TO MAKE, MAKE IT IN THE HALLWAY.

THAT'S NOT THAT'S NOT WHY YOU'RE HERE. OKAY. MR..

MCCOY. YOU'RE RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU. SO I'VE NOTICED IN THIS MORATORIUM OF WHICH I'VE BEEN ABLE TO REVIEW FOR OFF AND ON FOR THE LAST WHAT HOUR? I'VE NOTICED. TWO THINGS. ONE PARTICULAR THAT CONCERNS ME AND IT IS WE DEFINE ON PAGE TWO. 14 WE DEFINED THE ENTITY THAT WE'RE TRYING TO PLACE A MORATORIUM ON IS FIVE MEGAWATTS.

26 I 56 WAS TEN. SO I AND WE AND SAME THING ON PAGE NINE, I'M SORRY, LINE 19 OF PAGE TWO, WE SAY FIVE. SO I MAKE A MOTION THAT WE STRIKE LINE 13 ON PAGE TWO, THE WORD FIVE AND THEN PARENTHESES FIVE IN PARENTHESES AND REPLACE IT WITH THE WORD TEN PARENTHESES ONE ZERO IN PARENTHESES.

AND ALSO LIKEWISE ON PAGE TWO LINE 19 WE STRIKE THE WORD FIVE PARENTHESES FIVE THE NUMBER FIVE IN PARENTHESES AND REPLACE IT WITH THE WORD TEN PARENTHESES.

[01:00:03]

THE NUMBER TEN IN PARENTHESES. I'D APPRECIATE A SECOND.

I HAVE A POINT OF ORDER HERE. SECOND, I THOUGHT THAT I, I 56 WAS SUPPOSED TO BE READ FIRST.

I'M SORRY MADAM. I WANTED TO KNOW WHY I, 56, WAS NOT READ FIRST.

WHY YOU WENT TO I 64 INSTEAD OF JUST THE ORDER THAT I CHOSE AND ITS PREROGATIVE OF THE CHAIR.

PREROGATIVE OF THE CHAIR. OKAY. THERE'S NO NECESSARY MAGIC TO IT.

THEY ALL FIT IN. I DO MY BEST TO TRY AND PUT THEM IN WHAT I THINK IS THE LOGICAL AND PROPER ORDER.

THAT'S WHAT I'VE DONE. SO THERE'S A MOTION TO AMEND ON THE FLOOR.

IS THERE A SECOND FOR THAT MOTION? SECOND? I DID.

YOU'VE HEARD THE MOTION. YOU'VE HEARD THE SECOND MEMBERS. ARE THERE QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS PROPOSED AMENDMENT? EVERYBODY UNDERSTAND IT. HE WENT THROUGH THE LINE ITEM AND EXACTLY WHAT YOU WERE DOING.

DID YOU COPY THAT? AND DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE ABOUT TO VOTE FOR? WE CAN REPEAT IT AS NECESSARY.

IN EVERYBODY HAS IT. THERE'S NO QUESTION. NO COMMENT.

MISS. MISS BLACKWOOD, YOU LOOK LIKE YOU HAVE A QUESTION OR A COMMENT. MAYBE BOTH. WELL, SO IT IS JUST.

IT'S UP TO YOU WHETHER YOU CAN CHANGE THE ORDER.

AND WE DON'T HAVE A SAY IN IT AT ALL. WELL, I GUESS IF YOU WANTED TO OBJECT, YOU SHOULD OBJECT WHEN IT WAS.

I TRIED TO, BUT I DIDN'T GET RECOGNIZED. WELL, USUALLY YOU'RE NOT SOFT SPOKEN.

I CERTAINLY SORRY FOR YOUR DISCOMFORT, BUT THE ORDER IS CHANGED AND WE'RE NOW TO THE LAST ITEM REMAINING.

WE WE. THERE'S NO WAY TO TURN TURN BACK AND GO.

REDO THE ORDER IN WHICH THESE HAVE BEEN READ.

THIS IS A BECAUSE OF ALL THESE LATE FILINGS, THIS IS THIS IS AN AN AGENDA LIKE NONE I'VE SEEN IN THE LAST 12 YEARS OF LAST MINUTE ACTIONS WHERE PEOPLE HAVE GOT JOBS, THEY HAVEN'T HAD TIME TO REVIEW THESE THINGS.

AND SO WE'RE, WE'RE DOING THE HONEST BEST JOB WE CAN OF PRESENTING THESE.

SO IS THERE A QUESTION? IS THERE A COMMENT OR QUESTION REGARDING THE AMENDMENT THAT IS ON THE FLOOR? NO QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS. I DO HAVE A QUESTION.

IT DID GET A SECOND. YES, MA'AM. OKAY. SO, MADAM CLERK, I SEE NO QUESTIONS.

NO COMMENTS. CALL THE ROLL FOR THE ADOPTION OF PROPOSED AMENDMENT NUMBER ONE TO ITEM 26 I 56.

DISCUSSION NOW IS FOR THE ITEM AS AMENDED. OH, IS THAT CORRECT, MR. JUSTIN? WELL, POINT OF ORDER. I WOULD STILL LIKE TO DISCUSS THE REST OF THE ORDINANCE, BUT.

SO WE STILL HAVE TO APPROVE THE FACT THAT IT'S BEEN AMENDED.

NO, NO. LUKE, YOU'VE YOU'VE AMENDED IT. YES. BUT YOU NOW NEED A MOTION TO ADOPT, AS AMENDED, AND THEN YOU CAN JUST TO BE RECOGNIZED IN DISCUSSION.

OKAY. CORRECT. MY APOLOGIES. MY APOLOGIES. SO DO I HEAR A MOTION? SO MOVED. SECOND. MOTION AND SECONDED. MADAM CLERK, PLEASE READ.

26 I 64, AS AMENDED. AN ORDINANCE DECLARING A TEMPORARY 90 DAY MORATORIUM ON THE ACCEPTANCE PROCESS AND REVIEW AND APPROVAL OF ALL NEW AND EXISTING APPLICATIONS FOR PERMITS, ZONING AMENDMENTS AND SITE PLANS FOR HIGH INTENSITY DIGITAL INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS AND THE UNINCORPORATED AREAS OF PULASKI COUNTY.

WITH AMENDMENTS OF ON 13, 15 AND 19. WHAT IT SAYS 5MW TO 10MW.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO READ THE AMENDMENT. IT'S JUST AS AMENDED. THANK YOU, MADAM CLERK.

MR. MCCOY, NOW YOU'RE RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU. I APPRECIATE IT, JUDGE.

SINCE WE'VE HAD A LITTLE BIT OVER AN HOUR TO REVIEW THIS, I WOULD LIKE TO GET A 15 MINUTE BREAK RECESS TO REVIEW THIS AND CONCENTRATE ON IT.

I AGREE. SECOND. SECOND. SECOND. MEMBERS. YOU'VE HEARD A MOTION.

YOU'VE HEARD A SECOND. TO TAKE A 15 MINUTE BREAK.

THE TIME IS NOW 710. WE'LL COME BACK AT 725. THE MOTION IS APPROVED.

OKAY. EVERYBODY, PLEASE TAKE YOUR SEATS. WE'LL GAVEL BACK IN.

I'M JUST GOING TO. THANK YOU. I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU GUYS ARE GOING TO PUT UP WITH THIS GUY.

HE IS SUCH A. WE WE LOST MR. MCCOY. NO, NO. HERE HE COMES. HERE HE COMES.

YEAH, WE DID LOSE MISS CURRY.

CURRY. SHE LEFT FOR THE NIGHT. OKAY.

JUDGE, YOU'VE CALLED US BACK IN SESSION. I WAS WAITING FOR EVERYBODY TO SETTLE IN, AND I GUESS WE HAVE.

WE'VE LOST AT LEAST ONE MORE. SO MEMBERS, WE'RE BACK IN SESSION.

WE WERE WE WERE IN DEBATE AS AS I THINK WHEN MR. MCCOY ASKED FOR A 15 MINUTE RECESS SO HE COULD PONDER THE LEGISLATION IN FRONT OF YOU.

SO, MR. MCCOY I THINK YOU HAD THE FLOOR WHEN YOU ASKED.

THANK YOU FOR IT. DO YOU YOU STILL HAVE THE FLOOR? YOU STILL HAVE MORE TO SAY. THANK YOU. YES. I DON'T KNOW IF WE NEED TO DO THIS, BUT I FOUND A TYPO.

PAGE TWO, LINE 17 AS A QUOTATION MARK. NOT EVEN SURE WHY IT'S THERE.

WHATEVER. I KNOW IT'S PROBABLY NEITHER HERE NOR THERE, BUT IF IT'S THE WILL OF THE BODY, WE CAN AMEND IT TO CLEAN IT UP A LITTLE BIT MORE, BUT WHATEVER. I'LL TAKE CARE OF IT. OKAY. THANK YOU.

ALRIGHT, SO 2626 I 56 OF COURSE I HAD. ARGUABLY, WELL, SEVERAL DAYS TO READ IT AND DIGEST IT. SO THE DEFINITION OF H I'D I U THRESHOLDS ALLOWED ME TO FEEL VERY COMFORTABLE THAT IT WAS LIMITED TO JUST DATA CENTERS.

AGAIN, I KNOW I'M REFERENCING ANOTHER ITEM, I APOLOGIZE, BUT WHAT I'M, I DON'T KNOW WHO I WOULD NEED TO ASK THIS QUESTION TO.

I'LL START WITH THE COUNTY ATTORNEY, ATTORNEY LANE.

WAIT, WAIT, WAIT A MINUTE. ARE YOU ASKING A QUESTION ABOUT 56?

[01:10:02]

OR. NO, NO, NO. MY APOLOGIES. I KIND OF WENT OFF THE RESERVATION, SO I'M GETTING BACK TO 64.

MY APOLOGIES. ALRIGHT. SO, MISS LANE, QUESTION, HOW CONFIDENT ARE WE THAT THIS IS ONLY LIMITED, LIMITED TO DATA CENTERS AND NOT OTHER PROJECTS THAT WE WOULD OTHERWISE AS A COUNTY ALLOW? AND YES, I'VE READ THE EXCLUSIONS, I'VE READ PAGE THREE AND SO FORTH AND SO ON.

BUT ANYWAYS, I THAT'S MY QUESTION. MRS. LANE, HOW CONFIDENT ARE YOU THAT THIS.

AND TAKE YOUR TIME, BUT I'LL ASK IT AGAIN. HOW CONFIDENT ARE YOU THAT THE 26 I 64 APPLIES ONLY TO LARGE HYPERSCALE DATA CENTERS.

SO ARTICLE ONE, SECTION A ONE THROUGH FIVE.

SUBSTANTIALLY LIMITS THE TYPE OF ORGANIZATIONS THAT ALSO.

EXCUSE ME, I PUT A MINT IN MY MOUTH AND I KNEW I SHOULDN'T HAVE DONE THAT.

EVERYONE LIKE I HAVE. EVERYONE LIKES GOOD BREATH. THAT'S WHY. ARTICLE ONE, SECTION A SUBSTANTIALLY LIMITS WHAT COMPANIES AND OR ENTITIES THAT MEET THE THRESHOLD REQUIREMENT FOR MEGAWATTS AND OR YES, FOR MEGAWATTS TO THOSE TYPE OF THOSE TYPE OF ENTITIES.

AND SO IF YOU'RE NOT A DATA CENTER OR CRYPTOCURRENCY, BLOCKCHAIN, CLOUD COMPUTING, IF YOU'RE NOT ONE OF THOSE, THEN IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT YOU WOULD NOT FALL UNDER THIS MORATORIUM.

DOES THAT ANSWER YOUR QUESTION? JUSTICE MCCOY.

YES, BUT WE'RE WE'RE USING THE TERM NOW HIGH INTENSITY DIGITAL INFRASTRUCTURE.

H I'D II WHEREAS IN ANOTHER ITEM THAT WE CONSIDERED AND I THOUGHT WE WERE GOING TO PASS TONIGHT WAS MORE.

H I'D I U HIGH INTENSITY DIGITAL INFRASTRUCTURE USE.

I KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE MAY NOT. I DON'T KNOW THE DIFFERENCE.

AND I'M EXPECTED TO VOTE ON THIS. SO ANYWAYS, NONETHELESS, I GOT REALLY COMFORTABLE WITH THIS OTHER ITEM THAT I THOUGHT WE WERE GOING TO DISCUSS. AND I HOPE WE WILL, YOU KNOW AS WELL.

I DON'T THINK THIS IS THE LAST ITEM 64 ON OUR AGENDA.

BUT ANYWAYS, AND THAT IS JUST MY BASE READING OF IT.

YEAH, I DIDN'T DRAFT THIS. SO PERHAPS THE PERSON THAT DRAFTED IT MAY BE ABLE TO, BUT AS READ, IT DOESN'T APPEAR TO IMPLICATE OTHER OTHER ENTITIES OUTSIDE OF THOSE LISTED HERE.

OKAY. IF IT DOES, WE GOT A PROBLEM. BUT JUSTIN, WOULD YOU LIKE TO COMMENT? SO, OKAY, THIS WAS THE PLANNING BOARD MADE THAT RECOMMENDATION AT ABOUT 515, 530.

OKAY. AND THEIR RECOMMENDATION WAS HIGH INTENSITY DIGITAL INFRASTRUCTURE.

SO THE LANGUAGE THAT'S IN THERE WAS ESSENTIALLY USED FROM A PREVIOUS PIECE OF LEGISLATION. OKAY.

SO THAT'S WHERE THE LANGUAGE CAME FROM. THAT WAS THE DEFINITION THAT THEY WERE REFERRING TO. I HOPE THAT ANSWERS THE QUESTION.

OKAY. SO I READ LIKE COUNTY ATTORNEY LANE MENTIONED, THERE'S THERE'S SEVERAL THINGS THAT TRY TO MAKE THIS NARROW, BUT HAVING AN HOUR AND 30 MINUTES OR SO, NOT EVEN THAT REALLY JUST THE LAST 20 MINUTES TO FOCUS AND CONCENTRATE ON IT.

I'M CONCERNED THAT, YOU KNOW, I'M NOT SO SURE THAT WHAT OTHER LARGE INDUSTRIES AND BUSINESSES ARE DOING THAT WOULD FALL INTO THIS, THAT WOULD THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN BE SUBJECT TO THIS MORATORIUM ACCIDENTALLY AS COLLATERAL DAMAGE.

CHAIRMAN WILSON, CAN YOU COME BEFORE US, PLEASE? I'LL LET YOU THANK YOU, SIR. APPRECIATE IT. HOW CONFIDENT ARE YOU THAT THIS IS ONLY GOING TO APPLY TO DATA CENTERS AND NOT SOMEHOW ACCIDENTALLY CAUSE COLLATERAL DAMAGE ON OTHER INDUSTRIES? I'M NOT CONFIDENT THAT IT WILL BE STRICTLY DATA CENTERS.

OH, I'M SORRY, I THOUGHT I WAS TALKING ON YOUR MICROPHONE, MR. GREEN. NO. YEAH. GO AHEAD. I THINK WE CAN HEAR YOU.

THERE YOU GO. OKAY. YEAH, I WAS TALKING TO. OKAY.

I'M I'M. I'M NOT CONFIDENT THAT IT WILL STRICTLY LIMIT TO TWO DATA CENTERS.

NO, THAT THAT WAS THE INTENT OF THE THE BOARD MEMBERS, THE BOARD MEMBER THAT MADE THE MOTION AND THE BOARD MEMBERS THAT VOTED ON IT.

IF YOU'RE ASKING ME IF I'M CONFIDENT THAT THAT WILL LIMIT TO STRICTLY DATA CENTERS.

THE ANSWER IS NO. OKAY. I YIELD. I BELIEVE A COLLEAGUE OF MINE HAS A QUESTION.

[01:15:03]

OKAY. THANK YOU. WOULD YOU RECOGNIZE FOR A QUESTION OR COMMENT? YES, I HAVE A QUESTION. SO I THINK I GOT THIS ANSWERED EARLIER, BUT I WANTED TO HEAR IT AGAIN IF I WAS ANOTHER COMPANY, NOT A DATA CENTER. AND I WANT TO, I WANT TO COME BUILD WHATEVER.

CAN I STILL COME TO THE PLANNING BOARD AND ASK FOR LIKE AN AMENDMENT OR AN ACCEPTANCE CASE BY CASE? I DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER TO THAT, HONESTLY. JUSTIN OR DOMINIQUE.

BECAUSE I THINK LUKE IS NOT WANTING TO INTERFERE WITH OTHER BUSINESS.

SO AS LONG AS THEY ARE ABLE TO STILL COME TO THE PLANNING BOARD AND OH, IT'S NOT A DATA CENTER, LIKE, LET'S SEE WHAT WE CAN DO AND THEN DO IT CASE BY CASE.

OKAY. SO TO ANSWER THAT QUESTION, UNLESS IT'S STATED IN THE MORATORIUM, I WOULD RECOMMEND PUTTING THAT IN.

THE MORATORIUM IS WHAT I WOULD RECOMMEND AN AMENDMENT.

BUT ALSO ALSO I WOULD ALSO POINT US TO SUBSECTION C OF THE MORATORIUM AND WHAT IT SAYS IT DOES NOT APPLY TO. AND IT DOES LIST OUT IN NUMBER THREE, A LIST OF OTHER ENTITIES IN WHICH MAY USE, AT THIS POINT, WE'RE CONSIDERING TEN MEGAWATTS MAY USE TEN MEGAWATTS, BUT WOULD THUS STILL BE EXCLUDED FROM AS IT IS CURRENTLY WRITTEN.

DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? SO PUBLIC IT SAYS PUBLIC SCHOOLS, COLLEGES, UNIVERSITIES, HOSPITALS, MEDICAL FACILITIES, WATER AND WASTEWATER FACILITIES, PUBLIC UTILITY INFRASTRUCTURE.

IT LISTS A NUMBER OF ENTITIES THAT WOULD NOT BE SUBJECT TO THIS MORATORIUM.

I DON'T KNOW IF THAT HELPS CLARIFY ANYTHING. SO I GUESS MY QUESTION IS, WOULD THERE BE SOME WHAT IS THE RECOURSE IF A COMPANY FINDS THEMSELVES NOT AS A DATA CENTER AND NOT ONE OF THESE EXCEPTIONS, DO THEY JUST WAIT TILL THE MORATORIUM IS OVER, OR IS THERE A PATH FOR THEM TO TRY AND SEE IF THEY ARE ACCEPTABLE? SO WE'RE IN HYPOTHETICALS. IF A CERTAIN IF THAT SITUATION WERE TO OCCUR AND THE PLANNING BOARD.

WE DON'T PLANNING BOARD IS OR THE PLANNING OUR PLANNING BOARD IS UNFAMILIAR OR DOES NOT KNOW WHETHER OR NOT THIS PARTICULAR ENTITY APPLIES TO THE MORATORIUM.

I IMAGINE I WOULD BE GETTING A CALL OR AN EMAIL ASKING FOR LEGAL ADVICE.

AND SO THAT'S, THAT'S NORMALLY HOW THAT WOULD GO. AND I WOULD SAY BASED ON THE READING OF THIS, THAT WE'RE ACTING AS IF THIS IS HAS PASSED, WHETHER OR NOT IT APPLIES.

AND SO THAT'S USUALLY HOW THAT GOES. OKAY. I JUST WANT TO.

THAT ANSWERS MY QUESTION. I JUST WANTED SOME KIND OF RECOURSE THAT THEY COULD DO IF THEY FOUND THEMSELVES IN THAT SITUATION.

IF OUR PLANNING DEPARTMENT WAS UNFAMILIAR WITH HOW SOMETHING WAS TO APPLY, THEY WOULD CONTACT LEGAL.

OKAY. I YIELD, THANK YOU. JUSTICE BLACKWOOD. YOU'RE RECOGNIZED.

I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE WITHDRAW 64.

MOTION TO WITHDRAW 64 FROM THE AGENDA. WITHDRAW IT FROM CONSIDERATION THIS EVENING.

I THINK THAT'S A WISE MOVE. RUSHING THESE THINGS WITH THE AMOUNT AND THE VOLUME OF WORK THAT'S BEEN DONE, IT'S JUST GOING TO GET US IN TROUBLE. AND YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES.

DO I HEAR A SECOND ON THE MOTION? SECOND. MEMBERS.

YOU'VE HEARD A MOTION. YOU'VE HEARD A SECOND. IS THERE ANY QUESTION? COMMENTS? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR OF WITHDRAWING THE 2026 I 64 INDICATES SO BY SAYING I I I. ALL THOSE OPPOSED. ALL THOSE WHO DON'T CARE.

I THINK THAT THE AYES HAVE IT. WE WITHDRAW THIS ITEM 64.

THAT'LL MOVE US BACK, I THINK, TO OUR LAST ORDINANCE FOR THE EVENING.

[26-I-56 AN ORDINANCE REGULATING HIGH-INTENSITY DIGITAL INFRASTRUCTURE USES IN THE UNINCORPORATED AREAS OF PULASKI COUNTY; CLASSIFYING SUCH USES AS HEAVY INDUSTRIAL; ESTABLISHING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT PROCESS; PROVIDING PERFORMANCE STANDARDS, COST RECOVERY, INSPECTION, MONITORING, ENFORCEMENT, DECOMMISSIONING, AND OTHER SAFEGUARDS; AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES.]

CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG THERE. JUSTIN OR MADAM CLERK PLEASE READ FOR US NOW.

ITEM 26, ORDINANCE 26 I 56.

AN ORDINANCE REGULATING HIGH INTENSITY DIGITAL INFRASTRUCTURE USES IN THE UNINCORPORATED AREAS OF PULASKI COUNTY, CLASSIFYING SUCH USES AS HEAVY INDUSTRIAL. ESTABLISHING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT PROCESS, PROVIDING PERFORMANCE STANDARDS, COST RECOVERY, INSPECTION, MONITORING, ENFORCEMENT, DECOMMISSIONING AND OTHER SAFEGUARDS AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES.

JUSTICE BLACKWOOD YOU'RE RECOGNIZED FOR THE MOTION. I MOVE TO AMEND I 56 SECOND, SECOND.

[01:20:06]

AND WE GOT TO GET THAT ON THE FLOOR FIRST. JUSTIN.

I 56 IN FRONT OF THEM. EVERYBODY KNOWS WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.
