Board of Supervisors Special Meeting   1/29/2026

And everything else.

I always say technically it was two appointments.

I just stayed out.

Until I got to Hagerstown, Maryland.

Yeah, that's like I moved down there for a year and a half.

That's exactly what I did.

I was like, I'm out.

It's a little longer distance-wise, but it's a lot easier.

Right there, Charleston.

I went to the wrong point.

Yeah, apparently they built this thing at a different point, like they call it the tube.

Man, when I got into Charleston, I was like, I need a fuel pad.

And I was like, man, they had those little tubes.

Hail, high winds, we stopped on the interstate.

All I was focused on was the tail light in front of me.

It rained.

Man, I found a bridge that sat underneath of it.

In a pack of 20 of us, we just

We got a motorcycle hanging down here and it was piled up.

60 centimeter, 75.

Went home, put the bike in the shed, walked into the front door, took the shoes off, poured water out of them, wring my socks out, and started stripping in at the front door to wring the water out of my clothes.

Headed to the house and hearing the

Can't walk up there.

Can't walk up there.

Not allowed.

No, no, no.

I'll go up and buy something.

Yeah, that's right.

Yeah, you know, I've been thinking about it.

That's what everybody's ever done to me in my whole life.

I didn't get wise until I was about 27, riding at night time.

And I said, man, what am I doing?

You know what?

I mean, everybody else got to be able to.

Four people I know just passed over.

They're insane.

Well, let me say that again.

My dad takes another bike.

Oh, and they start ruffling and ruffling?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Four people in the club stuff is insane.

Can you help me a little?

Maybe when he's 85.

Yeah, yeah.

That's true.

Two weeks later, he tried it again.

Man, you got to thank you.

Those guys went through that arch the other day.

About the time the guy in front of me decided to get over and then I realized what it was, a truck and trailer tire in the middle of the road.

It wasn't flat on the side.

I hit back down and all I could see in the mirror was that thing rolling off the hillside.

Man, that'd been like hitting a wall.

We'll call them road gators anyway.

That's what they call that.

We call them gators.

One bottom part was all the way to the center line and then about four feet off the ground there was another limb there.

And I'll be like, I'm a Marine from Mars.

Jackie Morris?

Is that the Morris family?

They live here?

The name of the town isn't that interesting why it happened.

And that's what the town keeps telling everyone, but it's not the truth.

Yeah.

I don't know which clock I was at.

The phone is supposedly allegedly right.

But she knows that, you know, if I get to sleep, I better sleep.

Good evening, everyone.

I'd like to call a special meeting of the Greene County Board of Supervisors to order.

Ms. Kemp, that's good?

That's fine.

Additionally, tonight, if it's the board's pleasure, I would like to discuss the process of appointment

So are there any comments from board members on either of these issues before we get into it?

We put ourselves in a lot of liability if we don't follow the letter to the law in general.

Okay.

Correct.

Did he, did he email you or something initially first?

No, he dropped that letter off in person.

He dropped that off.

The next meeting, Ms. Kemp, am I correct, will have the writ of special election on the agenda for the next meeting?

It can't be on the same day as a primary, for example.

I'm asking for the date of the special election.

Like I said, it can't be on a primary day or some other little things like that.

Understood.

I guess another question would be when did the 45-day time for us to appoint somebody start?

Would it have been the 26th then?

Right, the 21st is when the letter was delivered.

So if there was a way we could like, you know, just use that as a justification maybe to maybe push it to November or whatever, you know, winds up happening.

I don't think I'm speaking out of term when I say that it's easier for her office.

Significantly cheaper for the taxpayers.

I just picked that up.

Is that what you're reading from?

It says that 24.2-228 can be, I was just wondering.

So if you all don't follow the procedures, it's sort of, they could be challenged, but

Go ahead.

it would that be enough time for us to kind of have like a list together the things that we need to make sure we do and and have that like set up for motions for the board to like say these are the like we all look at the calendar and say these are the dates we want to have that public meeting and stuff like that.

So in case that was, you know, the chairman asked me to look at the calendar and figure out some dates because the sooner we

actually eight days for people to be able to come and look at it before you appoint them so to be able to do the interviews on the 16th they would have to be due on the 12th of February which is a Thursday and that gives us Friday to get everybody organized and you know we'll be setting up interviews and all of that on the 16th of that if you're agreeable to that schedule

We can do that.

You all can talk about how you want to.

So I guess once you start seeing what you have, you start narrowing down kind of where, what candidate qualifies.

We do have to have time to check and make sure they live in Greene County.

Legal requirements.

I keep thinking it's Tuesday because we're having a board meeting.

Yeah, I've kind of been weird all day.

You may get like double digits, I don't know.

So in November, that's different.

on the ballot and then they have to get the signatures all like that.

It'll be easy for them to get that knowledge.

So if they want to run again, then they'll have to, that's exactly what happened.

It's almost like the timeframe is almost identical.

I would make the appointment effective Monday the second that gives them three days to go and gets worn in.

Yeah, some of us had trouble getting that done.

So if you give them three whole days, then they could go, and then they would be in place on Monday, and then we have the first budget workshop on Tuesday.

Yeah.

And we're under the 45 days by a few days.

Just before the appointment, like that night?

No, go ahead.

I don't think you have to leave them out.

You could always add another, you know, like the 16th if for whatever reason that doesn't work out or you can only do a half day or you decide you want to interview everybody or whatever.

We could always add other evenings or something like that.

Not that I'm advocating for y'all to keep up for Saturday.

That was like, wait a minute.

The seventh is a Saturday, right?

I would like to direct staff to follow that timeline and to get started on circulating the profile sheets and do all social media whatever you need to do to market it.

Yeah, so I'll make the motion that we follow Kathy's timeline that she laid out and do the marketing and everything else in relation to the interim appointment.

And then on the agenda, next meeting we have the writ, the actual legal writ, is that correct?

Yes, it sounds like you all would like me to prepare a petition and a writ asking the court to set it on the, I think it's November 3rd, regular election date.

Do you need a motion for that?

No, we can put it with the agenda packet next week.

And we'll make the motion then accept it.

Yep.

Anybody have anything else?

Mr. Koolsby?

Time to adjourn.

The chair votes aye.
