Re: Meeting Minutes
As explained in my email dated 10/4/25. Due to the length of meetings, I purchased a program
that will allow us to transcribe the meetings in a summarized format. This program will allow us
to cut our administrative time significantly. Since our meetings are streamed on YouTube, I feel
this is a more efficient way to complete our minutes and captures the spirit of the meeting. I am
also able to download a full transcript of detail by speaker if needed for historical reference. To
have a more accurate recording of voices, I would like to request that speakers do not interrupt
each other so they can be identified easily. I appreciate your consideration in helping my office
be more efficient.

OVERVIEW
The meeting opened with the flag salute and prayer. The commissioners, along with the county clerk,
engage in an extensive review of the budget, line-item by line-item, to determine the appropriate mill levy
and spending cuts. Key topics covered include:
1. Reviewing the budget and mill levy projections
2. Discussing statutory requirements and constraints around certain budget items
3. Analyzing potential spending cuts and their impact on services and reserves
4. Reaching a consensus on the final mill levy and budget allocations
KEY TOPICS
Budget and Mill Levy Review
The commissioners reviewed the budget and mill levy projections, starting with the draft budget
presented by the Budget Advisory Committee (BAC).
They discussed the differences between the published budget and the draft budget, including
changes made to certain line items.
Concerns were raised about the accuracy of some budget projections, particularly around the Tri-
Valley allocation and the coroner’s budget.
Statutory Requirements
The commissioners discussed the statutory requirements and constraints around certain budget
items, such as the intellectual disabilities fund, the elderly appropriations, and the fair board.
They reviewed the relevant statutes and determined that some budget items were “shall” items,
meaning they were required by law, while others were “may” items, allowing for more discretion.
This discussion highlighted the need for the commissioners to have a better understanding of the
applicable statutes and their implications for the budget.
Spending Cuts and Reserves
The commissioners explored various options for spending cuts, including a 25% reduction in
commodities across the board and a 5% reduction in commodities.
They analyzed the impact of these cuts on the overall budget, the mill levy, and the county’s cash
reserves.
Concerns were raised about the potential impact of these cuts on services and the need to balance
fiscal responsibility while maintaining essential county functions.
Consensus and Final Decisions
After extensive discussion and analysis, the commissioners reached a consensus on the final mill
levy and budget allocations.
The agreed-upon mill levy was set at 59.930, which was lower than the published budget but
higher than the revenue-neutral rate.
This decision resulted in a cash reserve of approximately $450,000, which the commissioners felt
was a reasonable balance between fiscal prudence and maintaining essential services.
The meeting demonstrates a thorough and collaborative approach to the budget decision-making
process. The commissioners engaged in a detailed review of the budget, carefully considering the
statutory requirements, potential spending cuts, and the impact on the county’s financial position. The
final decisions reflect a balanced approach that aims to address the county’s fiscal challenges while
maintaining essential services for the community.
SPEAKER OVERVIEW
Here is a summary of the key points from the transcript, organized by speaker:
David Beerbower, Commissioner
Suggested cutting 25% of commodities across the board to reduce the mill levy

expenditures the same
Expressed concern about departments coming back and asking for more funding if commodities
are cut

Apologized for being terse at the beginning of the meeting and appreciated the collaborative
process
Mika Milburn-Kee, Commissioner
Cautioned that cutting commodities could lead to service reductions and impact personnel

Expressed concern about departments coming back and asking for more funding if the budget is
cut

needed to make up the difference in the 2025 budget causing the need to increase the levy for the

Explained the challenges with the Neighborhood Revitalization Program and the need to adjust the
budget accordingly

to ensure accuracy and consistency with the decisions made during the meeting.

excessive.

medical costs, and proposes creating a separate fund for the jail revenue, with 60% going to the
Sheriff’s office and 40% going to the county.

and the use of the jail tax fund.

Tipper and Unloader Refuse Trailers
Designed for Optimum Payload
First in Aluminum Trailers
East Refuse Trailers Deliver Strength W
The ideal balance of strength, weight
and design for optimum payload.
More Payload
East refuse trailers have excellent
“empty weight,” and still give you
the strength to handle the stresses
of hauling refuse every day. With the
Genesis® smooth-sided design you
get an extra 5 cubic yards over tradi-
tional external post.
Easier to Maintain
It costs less to repair and maintain East
refuse trailers. Wall repairs are not as notice-
able because the trailer walls are welded
individually. Typically, wall repair doesn’t
require top rail removal.
More Versatility
For more profitability, the combination of light-
weight, strength and high load ratings gives you
versatile and flexible load options.
Higher Resale Value
East has earned the reputation for quality that
consistently brings a higher resale value.
East Tipper and Unloader Moving Floor Refuse
Trailers stay on the job longer, reducing downtime
and increasing profits. By incorporating lightweight
and longer-lasting components into each and
every trailer, East has earned the reputation
of time-tested performance and higher
resale value.
The East design uses high-quality aluminum
with 33% more yield strength than the
industry standard. The unique 2-inch thick,
double-wall extruded aluminum panels that
are tongue-and-grove design, are robotically
welded together, vertically inside and out
for superior strength and resistance
to twisting.
GENESIS®SMOOTH-SIDED ALUMINUM
We revolutionized refuse trailers with our smooth-sided Genesis® design that customers tell us can add
up to ½-mile per gallon compared to traditional external post trailers. The aerodynamic design is easier to
clean, and will not show any dents on the outside, improving resale value and keeping your trailer looking
good. The outboard Genesis design provides more capacity than traditional external post trailer
Stronger Sidewalls
Genesis aerodynamic design has unique 2-inch-
thick, double-wall extruded aluminum panels,
robotically welded vertically inside and out for
superior strength and resistance to bowing. It will
not show pings, dings or dents. Vertical panels
resist bowing better and reduce maintenance
costs. In addition to maximum strength, welding
inside and out reduces corrosion.
Advanced Wall-to-Floor Construction
The welded union of cross members, floor plates
and sidewalls result in greater trailer strength for
a super strong floor-to-wall attachment. Cross
members and floor plates interlock
into the bottom rub rail. The rail forms
a pocket to accept the sidewall
panels. The 3-inch spacing of
interior panel ribs give
8 times more wall
support than exter-
nal posts. The inside
walls stay flatter for
more even wear and
longer life.
Lightweight, Smooth-
Walled Tailgate
Less weight without
sacrificing strength or
durability. Dirt, mud,
snow and ice are less
likely to build up on
the smooth surface.
Without Sacrificing Payload
TRADITIONAL EXTERNAL POST
When a traditional external post trailer fits your needs,
East is setting the standard for long-running value.
Sidewalls Resist Deflection
Our traditional external post refuse trailer has thicker
maximum strength sidewalls than most competitive
models, and posts are continuously welded for
greater durability. A full-length boxed top rail
interlocks with the sidewalls. All outside joints
are continuously welded for greater load-bearing
strength and durability.
Superior Floor-to-Side Wall Joints
Unique extruded 7-inch bottom rail allows maximum
strength welding of side posts and sidewall sheet
directly onto the bottom rail before the dirt-shedding
wedge plate is added. Heavy-duty 5-1/2-inch by
9-inch top rail has an integral reinforcement to help
eliminate side bow and damage to sidewall from
overhead loading.
Tough Tailgate
90º wall joints are continuously welded, rather than
stitch welded, to five different structural members,
maximizing strength-to-weight ratio and joint integrity.
TIPPER REFUSE TRAILERS
East Tipper – Genesis
The new Lightweight East Tipper Trailer is designed
to maximize payload and still provide the strength to
handle the stresses of hauling refuse day in and day
out in the harshest conditions. As part of our continu-
ous improvement and commitment to increase value
to you, East has reengineered the Tipper trailer to
increase payload by removing over 1,000 pounds of
excess weight by converting many steel components
to aluminum and yet maintaining maximum strength.
East Tipper – Traditional External Post
The East traditional external post Tipper Trailer has
been a long-time leader in performance and durability.
The durable design of the East traditional external post
Unloader, proven to perform with top efficiency and
minimum downtime, gives you a better bottomline.
The Tipper is typically used for high volume operations.
East V-shape cross members provide major performance
advantages. It has more structural support. East refuse
trailers have less unsupported space in the trailer floors.
That translates into more support in top-loading opera-
tions, and more support if you run a forklift in the trailer.
Other manufacturers use I-beam supports on a 14-inch
center. The flooring of an East Tipper is supported by
V-shaped cross members 9 inches apart. This means
it will have more support — front-to-rear — and less
susceptibility to floor wave.
UNLOADER REFUSE TRAILER
When the operation requires a moving floor, Hallco®
and Keith® moving floors ensure fast, efficient unload-
ing with specifications matched to your needs.
Our subframe with an integrated push bumper and two
tow hooks is designed for greater durability. Access
holes in the bulkhead provide easy access to hydraulic
and plenty of space for technicians to work on moving
floor hydraulic systems.
East Unloader – Genesis
With Genesis design, the smooth-sided Unloader of-
fers the maximum combination of payload capacity,
durability and operating savings. The aerodynamic
design makes the Genesis Unloader easier to oper-
ate, reduces fuel consumption and adds 5 cubic
yards more than traditional external post.
East Unloader – Traditional External Post
The East traditional external post Unloader has been
a long-time leader in performance and durability. The
5-1/4-inch I-Beam cross member offers 30% more
bending resistance than the 4-inch cross
members that competitors use.
REFUSE TRAILER FEATURES
Extruded Aluminum I-Beam
The subframe uses an 11-inch extruded aluminum I-beam,
adding durability for strength and to reduce maintenance.
Integrated Bumper with Push Block
Subframe has an integrated bumper with push
block that’s designed for greater durability.
Extra-Wide Landing Gear
Landing gear features extra-wide wings, diagonal support braces
and C-channel cross members to withstand frequent shocks.
Low Maintenance Hardware
Top hinges and side-swing hinges are greaseable. Greaseable
tailgate hardware is designed for longer life, reducing
maintenance.
Strong Fifth-Wheel Assembly
Fifth-wheel assembly is designed for maximum load-bearing
strength with a stainless steel band to protect against galvanic
corrosion.
Integrated Light Panel
Rear-extruded light panel integrated into gate.
Latching System
East’s latching system with bolt-on receivers allow for easy
maintenance.
Sealed Lighting System/Trouble Free LED Lights
Sealed plug connections are designed to prevent moisture
infiltration and corrosion.
Plug-Together Wire Harness
Plug-together wire harness eliminates all junction boxes, and
comes with a 10-year warranty.
East Elite™ Wheel-End Warranty
Standard wheel-end parts are warranted for 5 years or unlimited
mileage. The assembly is filled with synthetic oil, which resists
high-temperature breakdown.
Filtered Glad Hands
Prevents contamination of the airlines.
OPTIONAL FEATURES
Front Access Door (Mandoor)
The door allows a driver access to the inside
of the trailer without climbing a ladder.
Waterseal Tailgate
Waterseal tailgates are available for traditional
external post trailers.
Airflow Gate (Gate-n-Gate)
Customers have indicated that they have
increased fuel savings when the gate is
open when traveling empty.
Cable-Operated Drains
All air tanks have cable operated drains.
