Veterans Services: Plaque Presentation in Memory of

Robert J. Moran


President Musgrave: Our first action item, it’s a great pleasure to welcome the veterans here from Post 1114. If you’ll please come forward, Mr. Acker, and bring your guests with you.


Mark Acker: Good afternoon, Commissioners. It’s my proud privilege this afternoon to introduce former Commissioner Robert Willner and former Commissioner Rick Borries. Shirley Cox was to be here, but, unfortunately, could not make it this afternoon. We are here today to honor a veteran, and I’m not going to toot the horn too loud, because as the story was told about Bobby Moran, known as Robert J. Moran, he was a Vietnam veteran, lost both his legs, was severely injured while in the Republic of Vietnam and brought home, went through arduous surgeries, and life was very difficult for him. But, he was the type of individual who could and took life one day at a time, and was a model of an individual who took adversity and turned it into triumph. He is an individual that I learned to respect and then love as a brother veteran, as a good friend. A friend of my family, a friend of the veteran. Bobby was a County Service Officer from 1974 to 1983. I was very proud that he recommended me to be the Assistant Service Officer in 1983 with Mr. Willner, and I won’t tell you what Mr. Willner said to me when he interviewed me, but it was poetic, believe me. At this time I would ask Mr. Willner if he would come forth to do this presentation, along with Mr. Borries, if they would like to say a few words about Mr. Moran. Thank you.


President Musgrave: Welcome, Mr. Willner and Mr. Borries.


Commissioner Nix: Commissioners.


President Musgrave: I’m sorry. Commissioner Willner and Commissioner Borries. Do we have like a double quorum here today?


Bob Willner: We would like to thank you for giving us a few minutes to honor Bob Moran. We have a plaque here that we hope the Commissioners would put in an appropriate place so that we don’t forget. Bob Moran was a veteran of the Vietnam war, a double amputee, came back and was Veterans Service Officer for Vanderburgh County, he served both Republicans and Democrats, and it didn’t matter to him which you were. If you were a veteran, he wanted to help you. Bob was always upbeat. You never saw him down. I’m sure he was sometime, but he never let us see him that way anyhow. After he served Vanderburgh County, he went on to Washington to serve on a National veterans organization, and then on to Florida in the same capacity. So, he worked all his life for the United States, and Vanderburgh County and the veterans. We would like to honor him at this time with a plaque. But, before we do that, if there’s anybody else that would like to say a few words, let them do so now.


Rick Borries: Well, I usually don’t get the last word. It’s good to see all of you. Bob Moran was an American hero. I think that’s the best that I can, the best I could say about him. Thank you for allowing us to be here today to present this plaque.


Bob Willner: Thanks, Rick. Before I do this, I want to recognize someone in the audience that knows full well what Bob Moran went through. Sitting in the back, Jess Thurman. Jess was a Korean veteran–


Rick Borries: As you were.


Bob Willner: –as I was, right. He has been in that wheelchair now going on 57 years. What more can you ask of a man? I don’t know. So, Jess, thank you, that’s all I can say. I want to thank the present Service Officer. When I called him and asked him if we could present a plaque, Mark said, well, I’m awful busy. I said, that’s why I asked you to do it, because if you’re busy, you’ll get the job done. He certainly did. He got this whole thing together, and I appreciate it. Thanks to you. Here is the plaque, and I want to show everybody. We hope that the present Commissioners put this in a place that the general public eye can see it, and that is so that we shall not forget. Thank you very much and God bless you.


Commissioner Nix: Thank you.


President Musgrave: Thank you very much for coming, and for honoring one of Vanderburgh County’s veterans. I think this honor does credit to all of our veterans, whether they are recent veterans, or they’ve been in a wheelchair for 57 years. As a military brat myself, the veterans are family to me, and I feel a special regard for the efforts of all our military. I do think that this deserves a place of honor. We would like to hang it where you want it to be hung, so that it does the most credit. I understand that you want this to be hung in the Commission office where the public comes in, is that correct?


Mark Acker: Yes, Ma’am.


President Musgrave: Alright. I think that that’s perfectly fine. We’re very pleased to do so. Thank you for the thoughtfulness that this represents.


Mark Acker: Thank you, Commissioners. One last note, Bobby was laid to rest at Arlington Cemetery on May the 30th. So, his place of honor is now forever with those that earned that right in Arlington Cemetery. That’s a great honor for this community for a man that served so well, so long, for so many. Thank you.


President Musgrave: Thank you, Mr. Acker.


EMA Advisory Board Update

 

President Musgrave: We have next on the agenda the EMA Advisory Board update. We were expecting Keith Kahre, but I understand that we have Sherman Greer here today. This is one of the boards to which the Commission appoints members. As part of our weekly series to give an update on the activities of the board, of the items on their agenda, and perhaps their plans for the upcoming year. So, welcome, Mr. Greer.


Sherman Greer: Mr. Kahre is trying to get cars out of his parking lot now. It’s being flooded. It seems like we never can tell what a day is going to bring. What I’ve got before you is some of the accomplishments that we’ve made between 2006 and 2007 that the Emergency Management Agency’s been involved in. We just now finished up the 2005 grant, working on the 2006 grant, starting on that. We have applied for a hazardous mitigation grant, that’s still in the workings. I think something came down that we didn’t make the first cut, but we’re still looking into that. The mitigation plan, we were the second one in the State of Indiana to have a functional mitigation plan, and we’re going back into that because it’s time for an update on it. Citizens Corps Council grants, as you can see there, the Community Emergency Response grants, GIS training for the city and county workers, we’ve been involved in on that. We use our emergency operation center as a computer lab for that. Coordination for emergency response. We’ve also had some Presidential declarations, in 2006 for flooding. That was a stretch. If you’ll remember correctly, it was the farthest north you could go, and the furthest south you could go, and we got put in on that declaration and everything, and that was a lot of hard work from the Indiana Department of Homeland Security to get that done and everything. But, it really was beneficial to our citizens here that was flooded. We also were under a declaration for the USDA Agricultural Emergency declaration for the freeze that we had at the beginning of the year that caused some problems, and is probably going to have a big effect. This rain is beneficial to us, but some damage has already been done. As you can see there, with the exercises, we just completed the June 19th exercise, SONS exercise, along with the Coast Guard and the EPA. We’re still getting feedback on that, and getting an after action report put together to put on that. We would like to thank Commissioner Musgrave and Commissioner Tornatta for showing up to that. There again, we’ve got a cyber exercise, the state assigned us exercises to do this year for District 10, which is made up of 12 counties. They want us to do a cyber exercise. Now, I asked them why a cyber exercise for us? They said, well, it’s the most difficult one to do, and we know you guys can pull it off. So, is it an honor? I don’t know. But, it’s a headache right now to put together a cyber exercise with the 11 other counties. Working hard on that right now. Bird, bird flu? The pandemic flu, we’ve had teleconferences, we’ve had a school exercise on that, and we do a quarterly exercise with them as of right now. There again, that’s one of those things we don’t know if and when it’s going to happen. The only other thing, you can see all the other accomplishments that we’ve done, but the most recent one is when we got our four sirens up, with the one replaced at Stockwell and Morgan. Our first go around on those sirens, we had only, four of them didn’t work. We tested them again this last Friday, all five of them worked, plus the other 26 that we have. So, we have 30 sirens within the community that’s working. My goal is to get three more of them put up before the end of year. I would like to get that done. I’m pretty sure we can get it done before the end of the year. Any questions?


Commissioner Tornatta: I would just like to kind of make a comment, and that is that a lot of people don’t get to see some of the things that go in to preparedness. One of the things that I learned from this SONS exercise was the amount of thought that goes into preparing for an event, and that’s why you have these exercises. I think it’s a credit to your staff, and those who participated, which there were 80 to 100 in that room when I walked in.


Sherman Greer: Yeah, there was about 75 that were there.


Commissioner Tornatta: Yeah, and, so, I mean, for the general public out there to know that we’re going over these exercises for an event that we hope never comes, but, if it does, we hope to be as prepared as possible. We’re running through scenarios, and we’ve talked about many of those things, and just any comments would the exercise that you would like to throw out?


Sherman Greer: Well, I think communications. You know, we were testing three things, three objectives that we had; communications, evacuation, and continuity of government and continuity of operations. I had two County Commissioners and the Mayor to show up, legal counsel to show up from the city and different things like that. That brought it together for continuity of government, continuity of operations and everything. The other thing was the communications, and we run a, the amateur radio people prove to be invaluable for us, you know. When we have a situation like that of a 7.7 earthquake was the scenario, we can’t count on cell phones, we can’t count on regular telephone lines and things of that sort. So, by having those amateur radio people from counties north of us, way up north of us, radioing in to us, and from Louisville down to Paducah, communicating with each other. There is a way to communicate. What we’ve got to do is just bring them together a little bit more. Then, the evacuation, we didn’t even get started into the evacuation, because of the scenario that had happened. We didn’t know what roads were open. We didn’t know what we could do at that time. We didn’t set ourselves up for failure, but we set ourselves up for reality into that. SONS started to say, okay, you know, the Red Cross is going to open shelters up, and they were going to do these things, but we couldn’t move people at that time because we had no idea what routes to use. So, you know, it was more of a realistic thing than we really realized when we were planning it.


Commissioner Tornatta: One of the things that was brought to mind was actually the amount of time that could go in between an emergency response.


Sherman Greer: Oh, yeah.


Commissioner Tornatta: And as we were going through, there were 12 hours at times before even the assessment, or the windshield assessment of some of the emergency responders.


Sherman Greer: Exactly, because, there again, you know, with 270 some firemen, Sheriff’s Department has got, what, 100 people? You’ve got Public Works and the Highway Department and people out there. It’s going to be some time before they can get in. Most of the times they’re only going to be able to tell you what they can tell you is right around their own hometown and where they live and everything, I mean the area where they live. So, it takes time to get those things done.


Commissioner Tornatta: And, they’ve been advised, if I’m not mistaken, to make sure that they’re okay and that their families set up first, and then they do their job?


Sherman Greer: Yes, sir. Yes, sir.


President Musgrave: For anyone who may have just begun listening to your presentation, I want to emphasize that you’re talking about an exercise.


Sherman Greer: An exercise.


President Musgrave: A game that, you can call it a game–


Sherman Greer: Yes.


President Musgrave: –that was being played.


Sherman Greer: Most definitely.


President Musgrave: The scenario was a 7.7 earthquake.


Sherman Greer: All simulated.


President Musgrave: All simulated. The effects of that earthquake would be devastating and perhaps maybe we wouldn’t be able to recover from something like that.


Sherman Greer: We would, but it would take some time. You know, it’s just like Katrina right now and everything, I mean, it’s going to be years in recovery, you know. The emergency response comes quick, but recovery can take years.


President Musgrave: I think that the point that should be taken home by the folks who are watching or listening is that you ended up with a, it would be 10 days before anyone would come to help you. So, you do need to be prepared, and your family in your own circumstances for 10 days.


Sherman Greer: Yes. Initially we asked for three days. In a situation like this, it’s 10 days, at least. At least.


President Musgrave: Okay.


Sherman Greer: Thank you.


President Musgrave: Thank you very much for coming.


Reading of Bids for APA-017-2007:

Guard Rails and Various Culvert Pipe


President Musgrave: Next on our agenda is to award quotes. Is Debbie Spalding here? I don’t see her. Oh, there she is. Debbie, I’m going to ask our County Attorney to read the bids though for APA-017-2007 guard rails and various culvert pipe, if you are ready.


Ted C. Ziemer, Jr.: I am. Actually, we’re not going to be able to read very much. We received four sealed bids, one bidder, St. Regis Culvert, Inc. states that they are unable to bid at this time, but they would like to be kept on the list. Three other bidders have bid various amounts for various kinds of pipe, culvert and so forth that were specified. Rather than, I can tell you that M & W Concrete Pipe and Supply Company appears to have bid on each item, but various amounts for each item. Tri-State Fence Company appears to have bid on, oh, the ten gage guard rail, 12 gage guard rail, 12 gage guard rail end sections, terminal end sections, but not the aluminum culvert pipe, pre-coated galvanized steel culvert pipe. Then, CPI Supply Company has submitted pages of dollar quotes for various kinds of piping that was specified, and I think you don’t want to take the time for me to try to read all of this into the record. They were all just opened. They are all a matter of public record for anybody who wishes to to inspect. My recommendation would be that we, that you take the bids under advisement, and let them be reviewed by Mr. Stoll.


Commissioner Tornatta: I move to take the bids under advisement and let them be reviewed by Mr. Stoll.


Commissioner Nix: Second.


President Musgrave: All those in favor?


All Commissioners: Aye.


President Musgrave: The motion carries.






Award Quotes: VC07-06-01:

Boonville-New Harmony Road Culvert #192 Repair

 

President Musgrave: And, now, I’m sorry, Ms. Spalding, it’s not you who will address the awarding quotes for VC07-06-01, Boonville-New Harmony Road culvert number 192 repair, it’s Mr. Stoll, County Engineer.


John Stoll: I would request that that be awarded to CCC of Evansville for the amount of $31,825.46. CCC gave us the low quote on the project.


Commissioner Tornatta: So moved.


Commissioner Nix: Second.


President Musgrave: Tell Ted to turn his microphone off. All those in favor?


All Commissioners: Aye.


President Musgrave: The motion carries. Thank you, sir.


County Engineer: ESRI Maintenance Quote


President Musgrave: We go now to contracts, agreements and leases. There’s an ESRI maintenance agreement, which is the GIS software for the engineer’s office. I believe that’s the only one today. Is there a motion to approve?


Commissioner Tornatta: So moved.


Commissioner Nix: Second.


President Musgrave: All those in favor?


All Commissioners: Aye.


President Musgrave: The motion carries.


County Attorney


President Musgrave: Department head reports. Mr. Ziemer, do you have an agreement.


Ted C. Ziemer, Jr.: I don’t. John, did you do the DLZ?


Commissioner Nix: Did we have something come through for Weights and Measures?


President Musgrave: Weights and Measures.


Ted C. Ziemer, Jr.: Oh, I thought we did that.


Commissioner Nix: No, we haven’t done that one yet. It seemed like there was two, Weights and Measures and one other one.


Ted C. Ziemer, Jr.: I’m sorry.


President Musgrave: Turn your microphone on.


Ted C. Ziemer, Jr.: Yeah, I’m sorry. We do have, we have two DS1 agreements, one for the Department of Weights and Measures, and the other one, which is an identical agreement, but it’s for WIC, which is Womens Infants and Children Department of the Health Department. Both of them provide for a fee of $80 a month. What I understand this to mean that these provide for connectivity to the system here in the Civic Center. We find that they are satisfactory for execution from a legal perspective.


Commissioner Tornatta: I would approve the Weights and Measures and the WIC DS1 agreements.


Commissioner Nix: Second.


President Musgrave: All those in favor?


All Commissioners: Aye.


County Engineer


President Musgrave: Next, we move to the County Engineer. I understand that you have an agreement for supplemental work on Green River Road, as well as a cover sheet for the plans for the St. George Road bridge rehab.


John Stoll: Right. The supplemental agreement for the Green River Road project is with DLZ. It is for an increase of $158,700. That covers the cost to change the design of the overflow structures that were mandated through the DNR permit from precast concrete structures to conventional beam type bridges. Based on some estimates that DLZ provided, it will result in a construction cost savings, by switching from the precast to the conventional bridges, of about $1.1 million. So, it’s in the county’s best interest, based on their cost estimates to switch these out. This does not result in any time differences as far as them getting the plans done. In the cover letter they said they would still have the final plans done by, I believe it was October 29th, if I remember correctly. It won’t introduce any additional delays associated with construction, based on what all the soils reports say. The controlling factor on the construction will be the settlement period for all the fill that will be placed out there. So, all in all it sounds like it’s a win for the county as far as controlling the cost, and not affecting our construction time. Also, in that same contract, it also covers the design of a deceleration lane for the Pedcor apartments, which we will in turn bill that back to Pedcor, in conjunction with an agreement that you had signed earlier this year. It also covers the design of how to phase the construction based on the settlement periods. That was addressed through the soils surcharging that was an e-mail that I sent to all of you. So, based on all that, I would request that you approve the supplemental agreement.


Commissioner Nix: So moved.


Commissioner Tornatta: I have a question here before I–


President Musgrave: Will you–


Commissioner Tornatta: –second. Second. The one thing I want to make sure is that, I know we’re spending 158 additional dollars on the design phase, but the one thing I am concerned about is to make sure that that million dollars is going to be there. Footnote Is there any provisions in their contract that that estimate is pretty locked?


John Stoll: The County Attorney and I talked about that earlier today, and there was really no way to make their design contingent on that savings. They’re basing that savings just on estimates, and, ultimately, since they can’t control what the contractors bid, there was no legal way, based on our discussion, that we could tie the design contract to that figure. They used the best available data to come up with their estimate, but as far as being able to mandate that we see that savings, there was really no practical way of doing it.


Commissioner Tornatta: But, in your opinion, do you think that there is the potential that we could save that million dollars?


John Stoll: Yes. Based on estimates, and, here again, making a comparison to what Bernardin Lochmueller has done on the bridge over Firlick Creek up next to the soccer complex. That’s actually what instigated this whole evaluation, because those costs for that bridge, which is another beam bridge, made it look like the precast structures were a higher cost. So, that’s when I had originally talked to DLZ about looking at this, and they came back with some preliminary estimates of, I believe initially they had come up with up to a million and a half dollar savings. Now that they’ve gone back and refined their estimates, they came back with $1.1, but based on all the data I’ve seen, I think it’s realistic.


Commissioner Nix: I think something else to take into consideration, and, John and I talked about this just a little bit, that during the construction phase, this would probably lend to speeding things up a little bit, steel versus the precast.


John Stoll: All in all, it looks like, from the DNR perspective, there shouldn’t be any problems with that. Construction wise, there are no apparent problems with that, as far as lengthening, they haven’t come up with the exact phasing, so, I don’t know if like Commissioner Nix has said whether we’ll save time, but based on what DLZ has said, it won’t cost us any time. It doesn’t cost us any design time, and based on all the estimates, the savings appears to be legitimate. But, there was no way to mandate and tie their design contract to that savings. I guess, we would almost have to bid both options to do a comparison before you could actually say that the savings was actually realized. The design for the precast structures was never finalized, and if this supplemental agreement is signed, it would never be finalized. There were still some footing design issues that had to be dealt with on the precast structures because of the poor soil conditions. They would have to be pile supported, so that design would never be finalized. So, you never really would be able to get exact final costs on that option, if we pursue this option.


Commissioner Nix: If we were to look at both of them we would end up paying design for precast and design for steel too.


John Stoll: Correct. Theoretically, you could do it that way, you would pay for both, and then have to bid it as an alternate.


Commissioner Tornatta: Okay, thanks.


President Musgrave: We have a motion and a second. Is there any further discussion? All those in favor?


All Commissioners: Aye.


President Musgrave: The motion carries. Mr. Stoll?


John Stoll: Like you said a second ago, I also have the cover sheet for the St. George Road bridge rehab plans. Those plans were prepared by Beam Longest and Neff, and I would recommend that you sign that. Based on current estimates, we’re trying to plan on getting that out for bid and get the contract awarded in mid to late August, once the city’s project on St. George east of 41 is completed.


Commissioner Tornatta: So moved.


Commissioner Nix: Second.


President Musgrave: All those in favor?


All Commissioners: Aye.


President Musgrave: The motion carries.


John Stoll: The last item I have is a request to transfer $5,000 from the Mt. Pleasant Road project to our Local Road and Street Legal Services account. That’s account number 216-3610. This would be used to cover general legal expenses that can’t be charged off on any particular project. We’ve used up virtually all the money that’s in that account right now, so, we need to do that transfer. Since Mt. Pleasant’s done that seemed like an appropriate place to take it from.


Commissioner Tornatta: So moved.


Commissioner Nix: Second.


President Musgrave: All those in favor?


All Commissioners: Aye.


President Musgrave: The motion carries.


John Stoll: That’s all I have.


President Musgrave: Thank you, sir.


Board Appointments


President Musgrave: Next on our agenda is a board appointment to the Levee Authority. Is there a motion to approve Mr. Mike Whicker?


Commissioner Tornatta: So moved.


Commissioner Nix: Second.


President Musgrave: All those in favor?


All Commissioners: Aye.


President Musgrave: The motion carries.


New Business


President Musgrave: New business. We have listed on the agenda the cancellation of the County Commissioners meetings on July 17, and that’s just the Commission meeting, not the rezoning, and I’ll call you up in a moment, Mr. Craig, August 7th, September 4th, October 9th, and December 4th. The Commission, if you approve this meeting, then we will be meeting regularly three times a month, instead of four. We already do not meet on the fifth week of a month. Is there a motion to approve?


Commissioner Tornatta: So moved.


Commissioner Nix: Second.


President Musgrave: All those in favor?


All Commissioners: Aye.


President Musgrave: The motion carries.


Ted C. Ziemer, Jr.: I just have a question so I’ll know where to be. On July 17th there will not be a Commissioners meeting, but there will be a zoning meeting, and will that be at the same time, at 3:30?


President Musgrave: They are advertised for 3:30.


Ted C. Ziemer, Jr.: Okay, I thought they had been, yeah. But, that’s the only date that there’s a zoning meeting? Okay, thank you.


President Musgrave: I would like to remind everyone that next week is July 4th. We will not have a meeting next week. So, please mark your calendars. No meeting next week. Mr. Craig from Burdette Park also has some new business. Please come forward.


Steve Craig: Steve Craig, Manager of Burdette. Howell swim team has requested from Burdette the use of our open air pavilion for two and half hours in which that time they will have an award banquet for their swim team, and one hour of that would be included in a pool use for this year end banquet. They’re requesting it on July

16th or 17th, whatever is most convenient to the park. Howell would be responsible for all clean up. We will practice a leave no trace. I request that the County Commissioners would waive any fee for this awards dinner and a one hour use of the swimming pool that evening.


President Musgrave: I understand that if Howell Pool had been opened, they would have had this event there, and they would not have been charged to use the pool there?


Steve Craig: That’s my understanding. They’ve had it there in the past, and being as it’s not open this year, they had leased Burdette for their practice, and now they want to have an awards, where they hand out awards, and I’m requesting that we allow them to use that. They will make, like I said, leave no trace, it will be the same as when they got there. There will be no clean up or nothing for the park.


Commissioner Tornatta: I would make a motion to allow them to use the park as they need on that night.


Commissioner Nix: Second.


President Musgrave: All those in favor?


All Commissioners: Aye.


President Musgrave: The motion carries.


Steve Craig: Thank you.


Old Business


President Musgrave: Any old business?
