Sorensen said they did look at bringing the service in-house, but it was only about <br /> $10,000 difference. When the county went out for bid the first time, we did not receive <br /> any bids and the second time we only received 1 bid. When you look at the MAAA cost <br /> they are half of what it costs the county. We would need to look at a larger scale to <br /> reduce the costs. MAAA ride cost is $55.00 to $60,00 range. We need to have some <br /> options for rural transit but with Brown it would be about $300.00 a trip. Scott said he <br /> would recommend holding the public hearing for the service and consider cancelling the <br /> service. <br /> Peterson stated there is no action just set the public hearing for June 30,2026. He ask <br /> if the people can be notified of the hearing and Bob stated that they will have the drivers <br /> hand out flyers to them. <br /> Sorensen wanted to make sure the news media knows that Crane has not changed this <br /> is the rural transit service. <br /> 12. DISCUSSION & POSSIBLE ACTION REGARDING A NEW BOARD POLICY— <br /> Richardson distributed information to the board members. This policy addresses any <br /> items placed on tables or the horseshoe in the boardroom that is not reasonably <br /> necessary and interferes with the orderly conduct of any meetings. This can be <br /> enforced by the chair. She noted that she has received comments that the display is <br /> unprofessional. <br /> Richrdson made a motion and Sorensen seconded to approve the policy addressing <br /> items that are placed on the horseshoe that are not reasonably necessary and <br /> interferes with the orderly conduct of any meetings. <br /> Quandt questioned, who decides what is reasonable he gets compliments on them. <br /> Richardson stated that toilets are not necessary or reasonable to county board <br /> business. <br /> Quandt said it shows waste of taxpayer money he get compliments. <br /> Richardson said it is an embarrassment to the community. The board sees otherwise <br /> Lancaster expressed concern about this and what the action would affect. She noted <br /> that the shelf on the horseshoe was installed to hide items from the public. If there was <br /> a prior policy, then there would not be an issue. The shelf makes it look more <br /> professional. <br /> Marty stated this is a close call and he has done research. The county commissioners <br /> have a right to free speech just like any member of the public, but the county has the <br /> ability to control it own environment to show a professional setting. He believes this is <br /> neutral it does not target anything and if anything, that we deem is not professional, the <br /> board chair can ask that it be removed. This is not targeting any one thing or person, <br /> 5 <br />
