We'll get started here. First of all, we want to welcome you here. It's our new facility. Today's a proud day for not only the staff, the volunteers. It should be a proud day for everybody in Ohio County. The animal world is changing. We changed with it. And we've got a new facility. Thanks to Hardwork, elected officials here, like Senator Roe, and the Judge Johnson, and Representative Thompson, that worked together in getting us funding and for building like this. Before we get much further, I feel like we need to say word to prayer. I want to ask the last Johnson, our former county clerk to do this. Thank you, last. I know a lot of you here on your lunch hours. We're going to speed this up. I don't want to get all our thank yous in. But first in my ad, Judge Johnson said a few words. I know how proud he is of this project. And he's finished it all here at the end. A lot of things you see wasn't necessarily in our grant. He made sure we got the funding to finish this thing out right and do a good job. So I'm going to do Judge Johnson right now. Thank you, Judge. I really appreciate all of you coming out. And I'll be county officials that are here. If I try to name all of you, I'll miss somebody. And especially if I miss the sheriff, he'll be in the comments. But I appreciate all of you being here. Appreciate Senator Roe. And my counterpart in Davis County, Judge Executive Al Madingley is here. I'm really proud that he's here. Mayor Charlotte Hendrix is here. I'm really proud of this facility. We're going to be able to take a better care of our animal control situation now. In addition to the new shelter, we have a new ordinance in place that will show us lower intake. Meaning we can handle better what we do get. And hopefully guarantee a better outcome for animals that have to come here. So, with that said, I'll say one more time. How proud of what I already did. I have this new facility. And I'm sure, Johnson, don't show it off in a little bit. Thank you, Judge. Again, I can't say how much he's really pushed me to push this project. So he's all 400%. Representative Tommy Thompson called me yesterday. And he couldn't be here. And he's going to come here in a couple of weeks and take a turn. Him, like I said, along with Senator Roe, was a big part of $60,000 for the funding for just building and securing that and co-send him some money. So we're proud that Senator Roe is here. And we're going to give him a few moments to speak as well. Thank you, Senator. Thank you very much. And last I think you hit it on the head. We have a lot of responsibilities and citizens to our environment. But we have a responsibility to store animals. And I don't know. I hope we don't have a whole lot more out on the road because they've got a new hotel to stay in. But this is really nice. I think it shows again what we can do when we work together. These things don't come easy. They don't come quickly. I know I've gotten many emails from Josh and Tina and others about the need for this. And when we work together with our grants, with our co-severage money, with the county's help, we can do things like this. And I think it really speaks well for a county to be able to have a facility like this. A lot of counties would just really be very ambitious of what we have in this county. It speaks well for what we hold as our responsibility for animals. And I want to congratulate David and all of his record members and everybody who's worked with us. I talked to Tommy Thompson on the way over. He's a legislative conference down Alabama. He's certainly regrets he could be here. But we work very closely together in this project. And I'm very happy to be a part of it. So thank you all for coming. And we appreciate all of your help. Thank you, Josh. I'll say I want to say, hey, County Judge, exactly Jackson Cassons here, Tina. I was looking for him. I didn't see him all go. He's here. We appreciate all of you being here. Again, I don't want to leave anybody out. There's been a big part of this project. First of all, my staff, they can hear the round of glorious here and staffing. This Brandon's still here. He's here to leave. Here he is. Take it up here. Brandon. Oh, we've all been together for seven years. And we better up some downs and our fights and our scratches like those cats on that. But we've got through it. And they help us out a lot. This is Gloria. She wrote the grant for that we got from the Kentucky Animal Control and Advisory Board. So thanks to her writing, it was about $77,000. I went to this building. So I think that deserves around the world. Brandon over here. He's my handyman. Anytime I'm harder for something, he's going to go and get to. He may not go real fast, but he'll get that. He gets it done. So in step, he's our newest member. She was a volunteer for a while and we're working her in the wires each year. She's our crazy cat lady. She takes care of the cats. So we appreciate all of them. Next, somebody that I can't leave out. Obviously, Tina, you're going to get in here where you want to or not. Tina, Tom. She went out her own and built a facility to help us and taking rescue animals. And there's a lot of good work for us. And we don't know where we would be without her the last two years. And I appreciate her, along with all her friends and the shelter, her volunteers. And this kind of inside joke, but I appreciate you building people too. You know what I'm talking about? Well, I understand that. I appreciate it. I really appreciate you. I know we all sometimes disagree. We agree to disagree. But we all love animals. We got to remember that time ago, each and every day, it's the same as many as possible. And sometimes we're putting tough spots. And somebody's going to make those decisions. And a lot of times that's all on my shoulder. So we do the very best that we can. We thank all of you. We plan to kind of start planning this building in the judge who is famous for his committees. But you get an animal shelter committee. And that consisted of the sheriff's wife, Kay, who's here, Tina, Gloria, Master Jason Hulok, and our director Susan Chen. They were all part of that committee. And we really fought for this spot. And Susan fought just as hard to keep it. I don't blame her, but it's such a pretty spot. Then the end, we all come together and worked it out. I don't think we could have been anywhere nicer. I think we could get outside and look around this facility. We've got all this territory to work with, to expand in the future. So I appreciate Susan working with us. Because this was part of the park. And so we appreciate her cooperation. And if we just get up here. Finally, we're planning on being up here in full operation around the first week. Thanks for giving us. So we're going to kind of be in transitional mode for the next couple of weeks. So, bear with us. We'll take care of your colleagues and complaints. But we're going to be in the process of moving. Hopefully we'll be here in a couple of weeks. And again, I appreciate everyone who's coming. I hope I've said it to the news reporters. I've said to the news paper. I feel like the day you'll how county has hit the lottery when it comes to the animal business. Okay. All I can do is I promise you all you got to do is you've never been down there. Take five minutes and drive down there. And walk through and you'll come back to the new appreciation for this building. Okay, I promise you give me goose bumps every time I want to get here. So we're going to have a little ribbon cutting ceremony. So you guys are free to start turning and start eating. The lady is going to help you here. Get some ice and drinks. I know a lot of you aren't going to lunch hours. We appreciate all of you coming. Stay as long as you want to. If you have any questions, ask more of us. And we'll try to answer for you. So again, thank you very much. So... Applause
