COMMISSIONER ROLAND, WOULD YOU LEAD US IN THE INVOCATION? OH YEAH. 10:00 A.M.

FATHER WHICH ART IN HEAVEN, THE FATHER OF OUR LORD AND SAVIOR.

JESUS CHRIST.

FATHER, WE THANK YOU SO MUCH JUST FOR BEING GOD ALL BY YOURSELF.

LORD, I HOPE THAT WE CAN DO THINGS TODAY THAT WOULD PLEASE YOU BECAUSE IT IS HARD TO PLEASE YOU BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, MAN, HE'S ALWAYS GOT TROUBLE WITH SINNING AND ALL.

I KNOW YOU HATE SINS, BUT LORD, I PRAY RIGHT NOW IN THE NAME OF JESUS THAT YOU WOULD LOOK AFTER US AND THAT YOU WOULD BLESS EACH AND EVERY ONE THAT'S WITHIN THE SOUND OF MY WEAK VOICE. AND LORD, I JUST WANT TO JUST SAY THANK YOU ONE MORE TIME IN THE NAME OF JESUS.

I PRAY. AMEN.

[1. Discussion/Action to consider the approval of the Permit filed as Old Settler's Music Festival for an Outdoor Music Festival as follows]

ITEM ONE DISCUSSION ACTION TO CONSIDER THE APPROVAL OF THE PERMIT FILED AS OLD SETTLERS MUSIC FESTIVAL FOR AN OUTDOOR MUSIC FESTIVAL AS FOLLOWS SO THEY, OLD SETTLERS HAS FILED FOR THEIR OUTDOOR MUSIC FESTIVAL PERMIT FOR THIS YEAR, AND IT'S GOING TO BE OCTOBER, WHERE'S THE DATE OCTOBER 21ST THROUGH THE 24TH, 2021.

I KNOW THAT OUR EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT HAD SOME QUESTIONS AND THEY'VE ADDRESSED THEM.

ARE YOU OK WITH THOSE ANSWERS, HECTOR? VERY GOOD. AND KEVIN, WOULD YOU GUYS MIND JUST COMING UP TO THE TO THE PODIUM JUST IN CASE COMMISSIONERS HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR YOU? JJ IS THERE.

DID WE EVER GET ANYTHING FROM DR.

LAWRENCE? I'VE NOT SEEN ANYTHING YET.

I HAVEN'T SEEN ANYTHING, JUDGE.

OK, WE'LL WE CAN.

WE CAN MAKE WHATEVER MOTIONS WE MAKE PENDING PENDING HIS APPROVAL.

AND I THINK, DID YOU GUYS CONTACT THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT FOR TRAFFIC AND ALL OF THAT KIND OF STUFF? RIGHT? YEAH, OK. ALL RIGHT.

WE NEED TO MAKE SURE WE TAKE CARE OF THAT.

AND THE GUY YOU NEED TO TALK TO IS STANDING RIGHT THERE.

COME ON UP, KIRK. THERE'S BEEN NO PROBLEMS IN THE PAST. MY BRAIN WANTS TO SAY LAST YEAR, BUT WE'LL JUST SAY LAST TIME.

ABOUT THE WAY THEY DO IT THEY STAGGER OUT THE SHOWS SO THERE'S NEVER A MASS INFLUX OR MASS OUT WHEN THEY HAVE THEIR CAMPERS IN.

THAT STARTS ON MONDAY. SUNDAY.

SUNDAY. THE CAMPERS START COMING IN ON THE SUNDAY THE WEEK PRIOR, AND SO THERE IS NEVER A MASS EXODUS OR A MASS ENTRANCE.

OK. THE ONLY TWO CONCERNS WE WOULD HAVE IS THE RAINSTORMS WE HAD LAST TIME WHERE THE MAIN ENTRANCE WASHED OUT THE SECONDARY EXIT HAD BEEN COMPLETELY [INAUDIBLE].

IS THAT ALL DONE NOW? YES, THAT'S OK. SO, SO YOU'RE GOOD THEN.

YEAH, THIS I THINK WE HAD EIGHT CALLS FOR SERVICE LAST YEAR DURING THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE WEEK, SIX WERE MEDICAL.

ONE WAS A THE HEY, THE [INAUDIBLE].

AND THE OTHER ONE WAS THERE'S MUSIC PLAYING AND WHAT'S GOING ON? OK, SO THERE WAS REALLY NO COMPLAINTS.

THE MEDICAL CALLS WERE ENVIRONMENTAL RELATED, NOT DUMB RELATED.

AND SO THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE HAS NO PROBLEM WITH THEIR VENUE.

OK, AWESOME. THE COMMISSIONERS, Y'ALL HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS.

I DO NOT. OK.

SO I GUESS JJ, CAN WE MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THIS PENDING? OH, I DO HAVE ONE QUESTION, KEVIN, WOULD YOU? SORRY, Y'ALL ARE REQUIRING PROOF OF VACCINATION.

IS THAT RIGHT? WE'RE REQUIRING ACTUALLY A PRINTED 48 HOUR

[00:05:02]

NEGATIVE COVID TEST.

AND ALSO THEY COULD SHOW A VACCINATION IN LIEU OF THAT.

OK, GOOD. ALL RIGHT.

THEY HAVE A CHOICE. WE'RE NOT REQUIRE VACCINATION.

JUST A NEGATIVE COVID TEST, OR IF THEY'D RATHER SHOW THEIR VACCINATION.

OK, THAT'S FINE.

ALL RIGHT. DOES THAT INCLUDE THE VENDORS TOO? INCLUDES VENDORS, ARTISTS, CONTRACTORS, ANYONE COMING ON FESTIVAL GROUNDS.

VERY GOOD. AND JUDGE, AS WE MENTIONED EARLIER, I HAVEN'T SEEN ANY KIND OF REPORT FROM DR.

LAWRENCE, BUT THE COVID 19 PROVISIONS THAT WE JUST TALKED ABOUT ARE ALSO CONTAINED WITHIN THE APPLICATION. IT INCLUDES A SECTION REGARDING MINIMUM STANDARDS FOR SANITATION AND HEALTH, AND THOSE COVID PROVISIONS ARE SPECIFICALLY OK.

GOOD. THAT WAS THAT WAS ONE ONE QUESTION I DID HAVE.

I HAD NOTICED THAT ACL'S DOING SOMETHING VERY SIMILAR, SO I THINK THAT'S PROBABLY GOING TO BE GOOD. YES, SIR.

INCREASED THE HAND-WASHING AND PORTABLE RESTROOM FACILITIES TO ACCOMMODATE FOR THAT.

SO. EXCELLENT.

GOOD. ALL RIGHT.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? OK, GO AHEAD, KEVIN.

YES. DO YOU MIND MOVING OVER THERE SO WE CAN BECAUSE WE'RE ON SWAGIT AND THEY CAN'T HEAR YOU. WE HAVE A COPY OF OUR EMERGENCY ACTION PLAN HERE, SO THAT WOULD BE IN A SUPPLEMENTAL ATTACHMENT OR FILING WITH OUR APPLICATION.

OK, VERY GOOD. I DON'T KNOW WHO.

PROBABLY HECTOR AND CAPTAIN [INAUDIBLE].

WE'LL GET YOU A COPY.

THE THE EMERGENCY ACTION PLAN, THIS IS THE FIRST TIME YOU ALL HAVE SEEN IT FOR THIS YEAR.

IT'S VERY SIMILAR TO WHAT WE'VE SUBMITTED IN THE PAST.

I DID PROVIDE HECTOR WITH WRITTEN RESPONSES TO THE FIVE QUESTIONS THAT HE HAD RAISED.

SO ARE THOSE QUESTIONS.

THE RESPONSES ARE EXTRACTED FROM THE FROM OUR EMERGENCY ACTION PLAN.

OK.

OK, PERFECT.

ALL RIGHT. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? THEN I GUESS I LOOK FOR A MOTION TO APPROVE THE OLD SETTLERS MUSIC FESTIVAL PERMIT PENDING THE LETTER FROM DR.

LAWRENCE, UNLESS HE HAS ANY OBJECTIONS I THINK WE'RE READY TO GO FORWARD.
