So the bill was brought to me by several people in my school district and Representative Wardlaw as well, and he put the bill together. in short what it does allows schools to follow the department of health guidelines health department guidelines and have the option of giving the excess food from lunch or breakfast service to schools to consume on campus or to take home with them versus throwing it in the trash or disposing of it other ways all

Chair. This is not a controversial bill. Senator English has been throwing at us all day.

Education Committee - Senate & House Meeting Jointly with Advanced Communications & Information — Feb. 8, 2021 (50:20)

Easy way of putting it, the question, what are you changing as far as the options

a page two. Same thing. When Senator Elliott and Senator Chesterfield were discussing this section here, I was going back and reading it, it seems that there's,

Legislative Joint Auditing - Counties & Municipalities — May 13, 2021 (1:54:31)

we know what the health department violation was for?

Legislative Joint Auditing - Counties & Municipalities — May 13, 2021 (1:53:49)

Of course, the census just came out. They might have

Legislative Joint Auditing - Counties & Municipalities — May 13, 2021 (1:37:39)

dollar impact listed on there or something like that i think that may be the actual concern. I'm not... No,

Legislative Joint Auditing - Counties & Municipalities — May 13, 2021 (1:37:18)

controls and additions but what it looks like is the one of the one of the big glaring points is that you have things listed on there that are below the policy amount so i don't know what your what your actual city code is i don't know if it's five hundred dollars

Legislative Joint Auditing - Counties & Municipalities — May 13, 2021 (1:37:11)

fixed assets I see where there was mentioned about the proper

Legislative Joint Auditing - Counties & Municipalities — May 13, 2021 (1:36:05)

the payment back towards the street fund you've been paying a hundred dollars a month for eight years on that

Legislative Joint Auditing - Counties & Municipalities — May 13, 2021 (1:36:17)

so far yes sir at what point in time are we going to increase the amount that's being paid towards

Legislative Joint Auditing - Counties & Municipalities — May 13, 2021 (1:22:24)

Yes. If those titles go missing, if those cars go missing, the sheriff's coming

Legislative Joint Auditing - Counties & Municipalities — May 13, 2021 (1:22:19)

It's simply protection for you, is what it is, because you're responsible ultimately.

Legislative Joint Auditing - Counties & Municipalities — May 13, 2021 (1:21:33)

a little delay getting the check over to you, too, when they get paid for it. I'm not accusing your sheriff for anything, but that's the problem with the procedure that I can see. Just a suggestion. Your suggestion is it may be beneficial going forward to receive payment before you give up ownership.

Legislative Joint Auditing - Counties & Municipalities — May 13, 2021 (1:20:17)

there was no checks no money exchange hands you still have the vehicles and that's correct just what's your procedure going forward for this most people require even if you're a bank for example and you're holding the title to my vehicle and i come to you and ask you and say I tell you I want to sell it, you don't give me the title. I have to pay you for it before you get the title, right? Do you allow the Sheriff's Department to just sell for whatever value they want with no oversight?

Legislative Joint Auditing - Counties & Municipalities — May 13, 2021 (1:20:04)

came or someone from the sheriff's department came, walked me through this here, someone from the sheriff's department came, said hey we want to sell these and you gave them the titles right they didn't sell them
