Pledge of Allegiance: Danielle Ripperton Koch Family Children’s Museum of Evansville |
President Tornatta: Danielle Ripperton? If you’ll come up and honor us with leading us in the Pledge of Allegiance.
(The Pledge of Allegiance was given.)
President Tornatta: Good evening.
Danielle Ripperton: Good evening. Thank you all so much for having me here this evening to talk a little bit about one of the events coming up. I am from the Koch Family Children’s Museum of Evansville, fondly referred to as CMOE. To date we have seen over 191,000 visitors at our downtown location opened September 29, 2006. So, I thought that was an important thing for everyone to note. Part of how we make CMOE affordable for the community is through contributed revenue. Approximately 50 percent of our budget comes from contributed revenue. One of the items that we employ is special events. Upcoming on Saturday, June 20th is the CMOE Discovery Dash. It’s a children’s foot and wheelchair race for children age 0-12. It’s a fun day, kids everywhere, they each win a medal, a t-shirt, a goody bag, and then the top three dashers in each age and gender division also win a trophy, which is exciting for those kids as well. There’s an awards ceremony afterwards, and Mike Blake is our emcee. So, that’s a lot of fun. This is a great event for families, so I appreciate you all giving me a few minutes to talk about it so that families out there might be able to hear about the dash as well. New this year, we’re incorporating a children’s health fair from 7:30 to 11:30 in the morning. That will incorporate community health partners who will have interactive activities for the children to go through and participate in. Late registration for the event is this Friday from 10:00 a.m to 5:00 p.m. at CMOE. Then, the race itself is actually at Harrison High School track, and you can do late registration from 7:30 to 8:30 a.m. at Harrison High School. The race starts at 9:00 a.m., and families are usually out and can enjoy the rest of their day. With their medal they get in free to the Children’s Museum that day. So, they can bring it down to CMOE to enjoy the museum as well. Thank you all very much.
President Tornatta: Sounds great. Any questions of Danielle? Thanks for coming out.
Danielle Ripperton: Thank you.
President Tornatta: Alright.
Substance Abuse Council Presentation |
President Tornatta: Action items, Substance Abuse Council presentation. Shateka Woods?
Shateka Woods: Good evening, gentlemen. My name is Shateka Woods, and I am the program director for the Substance Abuse Council. I wanted to come this evening to share with you some progress that we have made over the last year. In 2007 we were awarded a grant from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. It was awarded actually to the office of the Governor, and also the Family Social Services Administration. What this grant, they were charging us to look at our county, make sure that we are evidence based, meaning that we’ve got current, local data to provide for our planning and also grant writing for the county as a whole. To date we have completed our report, which I have submitted a hard copy, as well as a copy on disc for each of you to view at your leisure. The report will be available for all community agencies. It highlights the use of alcohol for youth in our community among the ages of 18-25. It also looks at some of the risk factors and the protective factors that are here in Vanderburgh County. So, we hope that this document will be readily used by community agencies, for profit, not-for-profit, for community planning, and then also, as I said, to leverage additional dollars for programs and services for our community.
President Tornatta: How does our community stack up to others around us?
Shateka Woods: In terms of use?
President Tornatta: Yes.
Shateka Woods: Of alcohol?
President Tornatta: Correct.
Shateka Woods: I would say that we have a rather high rate. Just a couple of stats off the top, the local college rate, I believe it’s about 80 percent that reported using alcohol within the last year. Among our high school seniors, that number is roughly about 40 percent, and I would say it’s about 30 percent for high school sophomores.
President Tornatta: Now, then, if we go to other similar cities or similar areas, do we see the same type of numbers? Or are we still higher?
Shateka Woods: Well, we didn’t really look at other cities. We compared our data to the State of Indiana, which our rates were significantly higher than the State rate, and then also the National average for use among those age groups as well. That is included in the report.
President Tornatta: Okay. Alright, anything else?
Shateka Woods: We’re having a release breakfast on July the 2nd from 7:30 to 9:00 a.m. at the Centre. It is free. It is open to any community agency, community leader that would like to come and hear a little bit more about the report, and then also receive a copy of that. If you all know of any agency, organization, or individuals that could use this report, it is free of charge. So, you all have my business card, please have them contact me, because we would like to spread this throughout the community.
President Tornatta: Alright.
Shateka Woods: Thank you for allowing me to come.
Commissioner Winnecke: Quick question. To what extent have you partnered with Youth First, either on this survey or other projects?
Shateka Woods: They were on our, on several of our work groups to complete this initiative. They’ve been very instrumental. We do have, there’s a list of agencies as well in the report that have participated in the process.
Commissioner Winnecke: Will they be part of the release breakfast on the 2nd?
Shateka Woods: They will.
Commissioner Winnecke: Okay, thank you.
Shateka Woods: They will.
President Tornatta: Thank you, Shateka.
Shateka Woods: Thank you.
President Tornatta: Alright.

President Tornatta: A request to close road, 7200 block of Ridgeway Avenue on 4th of July for neighborhood block party and fireworks display.

President Tornatta: Just, give us your name real quick.

President Tornatta: Alright, Scott.
Scott Anderson: Every year, I’m not sure how many years we’ve been down here requesting to close this road, I think maybe this is the sixth or seventh year that we’ve done it. Basically, what we do is we just take a section of Ridgeway and close it off for an entire neighborhood cookout, block party, and then in the evening we do have fireworks.
President Tornatta: Okay, and I believe everything is submitted?
Ted C. Ziemer, Jr.: Yes, unless your son is going to be setting off the fireworks, in which case we’ll have to increase the limits of the liability.

County Attorney |
President Tornatta: Alright, under new business....any other department head reports, by the way? Okay.
Ted C. Ziemer, Jr.: Do you want to do the County Attorney?
President Tornatta: Yeah, let’s go ahead and do that here.
Ted C. Ziemer, Jr.: I have two items. The section, chapter 1.4, or 1.14 of the county ordinances permits the Commissioners to authorize any person that they want to designate to enforce certain ordinances. We suggest the Commissioners consider approving a motion that would authorize the County Engineer, or his designee, to issue citations for fines and penalties for enforcement of ordinances under which the County Engineer is the designated enforcer.
Commissioner Winnecke: So moved.
Commissioner Melcher: Second.
President Tornatta: A motion and a second. Discussion? Roll call vote, please.
Madelyn Grayson: Commissioner Winnecke?
Commissioner Winnecke: Yes.
Madelyn Grayson: Commissioner Melcher?
Commissioner Melcher: Yes.
Madelyn Grayson: President Tornatta?
President Tornatta: Yes.
(Motion approved 3-0)
Ted C. Ziemer, Jr.: The second matter is that currently under the lease between the Commissioners and the Veterans Council for the Coliseum space, the lease provides that the Council will insure the building for $800,000 for fire and extended coverage. The Commissioners, I mean, the County already insures that property for fire and extended coverage with a $100,000 deductible. We could do one of two things, either increase the deductible from $100,000 to $800,000 and let the Veterans Council continue insuring it for $800,000. That would save the county about $1,000. On the other hand, if we lower the amount of fire and extended coverage required of the Council from $800,000 to $100,000, leaving the county insurance as it is, that would save the Veterans Council $2,500. We recommend that the lease be modified to reduce the fire and extended coverage required of the Veterans Council from $800,000 to $100,000. Also, the lease provides, currently provides, that the Veterans Council will have liability insurance in the amount of $100,000 for each injury, $300,000 for each accident, and $5,000 property damage. That’s far too low under today’s general coverage limits. The Council currently is maintaining coverage for one million dollars general aggregate, one million dollars for leased premises and one million dollars for personal injury. We recommend amending the least to provide that the Veterans Council will maintain liability insurance at the amounts they are presently providing, and that is okay with them.
Commissioner Melcher: I would like to go on record, I’m Commander of the Veterans Council in Vanderburgh County. Our Council is the one that’s been looking at ways about trying to help the Coliseum. They’re the ones that made this suggestion. So, I’m going to abstain from the vote tonight so it won’t be perceived in any which way or fashion.
Commissioner Winnecke: Mr. President, I’ll move that we accept the County Attorney’s recommendation to modify the leases as recommended.
President Tornatta: And, I’ll second the motion. Discussion? Roll call vote, please.
Madelyn Grayson: Commissioner Winnecke?
Commissioner Winnecke: Yes.
Madelyn Grayson: Commissioner Melcher?
Commissioner Melcher: Abstain.
Madelyn Grayson: President Tornatta?
President Tornatta: Yes.
(Motion approved 2-1. Commissioner Melcher abstained.)
President Tornatta: Okay. Super.
New Business |
President Tornatta: Under new business, requests for Burdette Park pool passes for the World Changers group for July 15th. Steve, if you’ll make your way up here I’ll kind of explain what we’ve got. The World Changers group will be in Evansville to rehabilitate homes for low income and elderly homeowners from July 11th through the 18th. They’ve done this in the past. There will be approximately 300 youth volunteers. Doug Ohning with DMD submitted this request, and was asked to attend today, but was unavailable. So, we asked Steve to tell us, typically, what 30 to 50 people take advantage?
Steve Craig: Yeah, they come to Evansville, I think, and work for six days and they have a free day. They pretty well offer them, I think, the option of doing anything they want in the city, but they do bring some of them out to the park, some of them drive to the park. In the past we’ve had 50 of them maybe, sometimes more, we make 300 passes available, because there’s 300 kids, or around that amount. So, if they all would want to go swimming, they could, but some of them have other interests than swimming. So, it’s just something that we give back to them, because they come and work on underprivileged people’s homes, dilapidated houses. They come in and do a great job. We offer that to them on their one day of recreation that they have.
Commissioner Melcher: It’s really a great program. These kids, it started about eight years ago, I think, here in Evansville, and they actually pay, I think they pay $1,500 to come here. They have to earn that money. They can’t, their parents can’t give it. So, they have fundraisers and they earn the money to come. So, it’s a great thing for our community. So, I’ll make a motion to approve it.
Commissioner Winnecke: Second.
President Tornatta: A motion and a second. Discussion? We do appreciate all that they do when they come here. So, obviously, we’ll extend our arm in accordance. Roll call vote, please.
Madelyn Grayson: Commissioner Winnecke?
Commissioner Winnecke: Yes.
Madelyn Grayson: Commissioner Melcher?
Commissioner Melcher: Yes.
Madelyn Grayson: President Tornatta?
President Tornatta: Yes.
(Motion approved 3-0)
Steve Craig: Thank you very much
President Tornatta: Thank you, Steve.
Commissioner Winnecke: Thank you, Steve.
Old Business |
President Tornatta: Under old business, anything? I’ve got a couple of things. We talked last time we were here about our parks stimulus fund. We’ve kind of narrowed it down to around $50,000 that we will look to give ten parks matching funds up to $5,000 on matching funds. This would be for parks that raise private dollars and use no public dollars outside of the incorporated city of Evansville. So, that would be, for instance, a Moutoux Park, or a McCutchanville Park. I think we’ve identified two or three other parks since we’ve talked about it. But, just for instance, and maybe even the 4-H Park, that comes to mind. So, anybody that has submittals we would ask you to submit those to the County Commissioners office. They will be taken and distributed amongst the Commissioners and the staff in the Commissioners office and we will then look at your project that you submitted. At that point we will decide if it’s worthy, and through the criteria that we’ve established. If it’s not, we will send you a letter saying so. If it is, we’ll ask you for your matching funds, up to $5,000.
Commissioner Melcher: My understanding is this is going to be for capital projects?
President Tornatta: Capital projects only.
Commissioner Melcher: Does this have to be a non-profit organization?
President Tornatta: Yes.
Commissioner Melcher: So, they should bring in their 501(c)3 , and insurances and stuff?
President Tornatta: They might not have a 501(c)3.
Commissioner Melcher: Okay.
President Tornatta: You do not need a 501(c)3 for this. Any other questions of the Board? Okay. The next is the wrapping up of the Walking to Freedom program that we had. Almost three months ago we started Walking to Freedom in Vanderburgh County. It caught on pretty quick. We had 31 teams, I believe, of five. The Commissioners threw out the challenge to try and let these other offices beat us, and they did.
Commissioner Winnecke: Only ten.
President Tornatta: But, ten or eleven. Ten or eleven, so–
Commissioner Melcher: Ten.
President Tornatta: Ten, alright. We have an opportunity to finish eleventh. But, we were good sports and we kept on walking. A lot of steps, and not a lot of elevators, not a lot of escalators, but it was a great opportunity to recognize health in our community and health in the Civic Center. So, I appreciate all the employees of Vanderburgh County that took advantage of this opportunity and used it to potentially drop a couple of pounds, potentially to get in better physical fitness. Obviously, we would like to see it because it helps us make sure that we are leaders in our community, especially in the health care area. So, any other questions or comments on that?
Commissioner Melcher: I think we ought to touch on that we did it because of the Freedom Festival. The Freedom Festival, that’s why it’s ending. It starts actually, it will start Thursday at 11:30 at Old National Bank will be the opening ceremonies and it will go through the weekend. It’s going to be kind of like what the West Side Nut Club, instead of bringing in for profit groups, it’s going to be non-profits. For the first time children under 15 are going to get in free. All the veterans are allowed to get a band free to come in. To do that they’ve got to go down to 318 Main, the old Evansville Store, which is GAGE to get it. All the arm bands are $15, and they can get them at any bank or anything.
President Tornatta: And any not-for-profit that is still selling the bands get a two dollar a band bonus back to their not-for-profit. So, I really think they set things up, they’ve got a concert series, I think it’s going to take off. We still have the boats downtown and a lot of acts. So, I know Lloyd’s on GAGE, anything else?
Commissioner Winnecke: No, you guys have covered it all.
President Tornatta: Okay. Alright, and just a last reminder, if, those of you who are computer savvy, or maybe not so much still, we’re on Facebook, the County Commissioners. So, if you want to get any of our agenda items, you can go on to Facebook and be a friend of the County Commissioners and get any updated information that we would have.
