VANDERBURGH COUNTY

BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS

MAY 13, 2008

The Vanderburgh County Board of Commissioners met in session this 13^th day of May, 2008 at 5:02 p.m. in room 301 of the Civic Center Complex with President Jeff Korb presiding.

President Korb: Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. It is, that clock is not correct. It’s 7:15 somewhere in the world, but not here. It’s 5:02, let’s begin our meeting. If you would, please, join me in the Pledge of Allegiance.

(The Pledge of Allegiance was given.)

President Korb: We’ll start with our introductions from my right, Marissa?

Marissa Nichoalds: Marissa Nichoalds, Superintendent of County Buildings.

Ted C. Ziemer, Jr.: Ted Ziemer, County Attorney.

Commissioner Nix: Bill Nix, County Commissioner.

President Korb: Jeff Korb, County Commissioner.

Commissioner Tornatta: Troy Tornatta, County Commissioner.

Madelyn Grayson: Madelyn Grayson, Recording Secretary.

Bill Fluty: Bill Fluty, County Auditor.

President Korb: That’s great. Permission to open bids. Mr. Ziemer?

Ted C. Ziemer, Jr.: Somebody has to give me permission.

Commissioner Nix: I would like to make a motion that we open VC08-05-01, VC07-05-01, those two, okay, one’s seven and one’s eight, excuse me, and VC08-04-01.

Commissioner Tornatta: Second.

President Korb: All those in favor say aye.

All Commissioners: Aye.

President Korb: Opposed same sign. The motion passes.

Commissioner Tornatta: Just to–

President Korb: Keep going?

Commissioner Nix: Yeah.

President Korb: Great.

Commissioner Tornatta: If you don’t mind, just read in the record what those are corresponding to.

Commissioner Nix: The first one, 08-05-01 is the Allen Lane over Locust Creek bridge rehabilitation. The second, 07-05-01 is Cross Pointe Boulevard extension from Virginia Street to State Road 62. The third, 08-04-01 is concrete repairs of various roads.

President Korb: Great. Thank you very much. Mr. Ziemer, we’ll let you do that, and we’ll carry on.

President Korb: Our first action item is a proclamation by the Mental Health Awareness month. This is Mental Health Awareness Month, and we have, you may come on up. We have with us this evening, I hope you’re Theresa Arvin?

Theresa Arvin: Yes, I am.

President Korb: Great. If you would, just turn on the microphone and speak your name for the record.

Theresa Arvin: My name is Theresa Arvin, I am the Board Chair for Mental Health America of Vanderburgh County. I want to thank the Commissioners for supporting and promoting mental health in our community by proclaiming May Mental Health Month. I have a proclamation to read.

President Korb: Please, go ahead.

Theresa Arvin:

“Whereas, mental health is essential to everyone’s overall health and well being; and, Whereas, mental health problems can affect all areas of a person’s life, including; school, home and work; and, Whereas, mental health problems will strike one in five adults each year, regardless of age, gender, race, ethnicity, religion or economic status; and, Whereas, nearly 30,000 American lives are lost each year to suicide and mental illness; and, Whereas, all Americans from combat veterans to hurricane victims are vulnerable to chronic mental health problems associated with trauma and can benefit greatly from early identification and treatment; and, Whereas, people can recover from mental illness and lead full, productive lives in the community; and, Whereas, an estimated two thirds of adults and young people with mental health problems go without the help they need; and, Whereas, the cost of untreated and mistreated mental health and substance abuse problems to American businesses, governments and families has grown to $105 billion annually; and, Whereas, each business, school, government agency, health care provider, organization, and citizen bears the burden of mental health problems and has a responsibility to promote mental wellness. So, therefore, the Commissioners have proclaimed May as Mental Health Awareness Month in Vanderburgh County. The Commissioners also encourage all citizens, government agencies, public and private institutions, businesses and schools to recommit to increasing awareness and understanding of mental health and the need for appropriate and accessible services for all people with mental illnesses.”

So, we thank you so much for your support. We had our second Mental Health Awareness Day this past weekend at Garvin Park. We had a fair crowd. I would like to have seen more people out there, but we truly want to connect individuals who are struggling with the services they need, and to really try to break down all the stigmas related to mental illness. So, thank you.

Commissioner Nix: I would like to make that in the form of a motion.

President Korb: Absolutely.

Commissioner Tornatta: Second.

President Korb: Great. Thank you. All those in favor say aye.

All Commissioners: Aye.

President Korb: Opposed same sign. Congratulations, and thank you for all the hard work that you do.

Theresa Arvin: Thank you.

President Korb: We really appreciate it. I just want to be sure though that there wasn’t a specific reason why you came here with this with us three, us here leading this whole mental health.... I guess not. Thanks, Theresa. Have a good night.

Madelyn Grayson: Theresa, if you would like to wait a second, they can give the original proclamation to take with you.

President Korb: Oh, great.

Commissioner Tornatta: While they’re signing this, the next action item would be the University of Southern Indiana entrepreneurial class, at the Old Courthouse. Do you have that? Yes, Brenda? I’ve delivered to all the Commissioners a packet. The packet is actually the presentation, which we may or may not be able to run this, but, if we can, they do a conclusion and then a thank you. Essentially, we had the 2008 entrepreneurs class from Dr. Les Nunn at USI, and the students were trying to figure out different ways and different things that we could do with the Old Courthouse. They have a CD in the packet, and we’ll try and get the CD on the website, if that’s okay, Marissa? We’ll put it there for all who need, who want to view it, but, essentially, the class took the time and looked up the history and looked up the many benefits that the Old Courthouse has, and the opportunities that they have at the Old Courthouse to make things better, and to change some things that have not been going so good and give their interpretation of things that we could be doing better. So, hopefully, we’ll take that into advisement and be able to use that at some point. But, they’ve talked about also, Dr. Khayum has talked about potentially doing some more things with the county as far as, even with the Old Courthouse. So, I think it opened up a door and the students got a lot out of it, and I think that the faculty did as well. So, I appreciate the board allowing us to continue with that and use USI as a viable opportunity to make things happen in our county.

President Korb: I’m thinking it’s not working.

Commissioner Tornatta: It’s not working.

Brenda Jeffers: It’s the mouse.

President Korb: Kill it. I mean, no, trap it. No, get a new one. I tell you what let’s do–

Commissioner Tornatta: Alright.

President Korb: –let’s do this in the next meeting. Because I think that we have enough people that watch this on television that would be interested in seeing this, so we’ll be sure to bring that up at our next meeting.

Commissioner Tornatta: Alright.

President Korb: Is that okay?

Commissioner Tornatta: Alright.

President Korb: Okay, don’t let us forget to do that. We’ll give you a couple more seconds. What do you think?

Brenda Jeffers: Well, I could try to reboot.

President Korb: That’s fine.

Brenda Jeffers: You can move on.

President Korb: Yeah, that’s great. We’ll come back, and that’s not a problem at all. Thank you.

President Korb: The next item is the first and final reading of CO.05-08-011. It’s the ordinance that’s amending chapter 2.56 of the code of ordinances of Vanderburgh County in the State of Indiana. What I need is a motion to waive the second reading, if I can please?

Commissioner Nix: So moved.

Commissioner Tornatta: Second.

President Korb: All those in favor say aye.

All Commissioners: Aye.

President Korb: Opposed same sign. The motion passes.

Commissioner Nix: We need a roll call on that.

President Korb: Commissioner Korb votes yes. The next item is the first and final reading of CO.05....I’m sorry?

Commissioner Tornatta: We have to do a final, right?

Ted C. Ziemer, Jr.: All you’ve done is waive second, now you have to vote on the first reading.

Commissioner Tornatta: Right.

President Korb: Should we ask for public comment while we’re here? Absolutely. Anybody wish to publicly comment on this? If not, we’ll go ahead and do a final vote. I need a motion.

Commissioner Nix: So moved.

Commissioner Tornatta: Second.

Commissioner Tornatta: So moved.

Commissioner Nix: Second.

President Korb: All those in favor say aye.

All Commissioners: Aye.

President Korb: Opposed same sign. Any public comment on this? Seeing none. We’ll now ask for a roll call vote. Wait, did we take a voice vote?

Ted C. Ziemer, Jr.: Did you do roll call on the waiving of the second reading?

President Korb: Yes, we did.

Commissioner Tornatta: Yes, yes.

President Korb: Did we do, we did? Okay, great. Roll call vote?

Commissioner Tornatta: Right.

President Korb: Commissioner Nix?

Commissioner Nix: Yes.

President Korb: Commissioner Tornatta?

Commissioner Tornatta: Yes.

President Korb: Commissioner Korb votes yes.

President Korb: The next item is permission to award crushed stone. Debbie Spalding, are you here? There you are. If you would, just state your name, even though we know who are, for the record, please.

Debbie Spalding: I’m Debbie Spalding with the Purchasing Department with the City and County. We are actually looking at two different awards today. One is for crushed stone, another one is for sand and gravel. This is an annual price agreement that’s done with the city for estimated costs of what we will be purchasing for the entire year. Always in the past we’ve received one bid, and that’s always been from Mulzer Stone. In the past we’ve always received a fixed cost for the entire year. Unfortunately, because of the fluctuation of fuel prices this year, they were required to put a stipulation in their bid about an escalation clause. We did ask for further explanation of when we could expect to see increases. So, they attached, with the prices that you have in front of you, are an explanation, three different letters, as a matter of fact, describing that. The first time they sent the letter, this is with the Board of Public Works, was asking for a better explanation of what happens if the fuel prices decrease. I guess, they were optimistically thinking maybe they would. Then the second letter addressed that concern, but there was an additional concern of the dead band, they wanted more information on, the prices were set at three dollars a gallon for fuel, and the increase is going to be looked at quarterly. So, they were, they asked for a better explanation of how that would work. Would it be an escalation on the last price they had, or would it go back to the three dollars. So, the final letter there explains that it would go back to the three dollars each time, each quarter that they look at it.

Commissioner Nix: Debbie, I was curious, and you might know this from the city, does the city stock pile this material? Or, do they just use it on an “as needed” basis?

Debbie Spalding: They, the city generally goes and picks up the material themselves. That was a question that the Board of Public Works had, if we are picking up the material ourselves, why would there be an increase or decrease? But, the costs–

Commissioner Nix: I guess, my question is though, are, is the city most of the time using the material “as needed”, or are they stock piling it at the yard and then using it from that point forward?

Debbie Spalding: It depends on the material.

Commissioner Nix: Okay.

Debbie Spalding: I believe they do stock pile some sand, for instance, in the winter months–

Commissioner Nix: Okay.

Debbie Spalding: –they might stock pile sand.

Commissioner Nix: But, you don’t know that they stock pile a lot of things?

Debbie Spalding: I don’t think they stock pile a lot.

Commissioner Nix: Okay, because we do some in the county. If you could maybe give me a call tomorrow, I’ve got an idea on something maybe we could talk about.

Debbie Spalding: Okay.

Commissioner Nix: Okay.

Debbie Spalding: Okay. We did advertise this amount, both of these bids, because the estimated cost was expected to be over the amount that we had to advertise. They were advertised twice in the Courier, you see the dates there at the bottom. Again, the only response we had was from Mulzer Stone. So, I’m recommending that this body awards these two.

Commissioner Tornatta: So moved.

Commissioner Nix: And that would be for both of them, stone and gravel?

Commissioner Tornatta: Yeah, motion to approve crushed stone and sand and gravel.

Commissioner Nix: Second.

President Korb: A motion has been made and seconded. All those in favor say aye.

All Commissioners: Aye.

President Korb: Opposed same sign. The motion passes.

Debbie Spalding: Thank you.

President Korb: Great. Thank you, Debbie. It’s amazing how much prices of fuel have gone up just since those letters were written in April. So, hmm.

President Korb: Contracts, agreements and leases. I need a motion to amend contracts please for the removal of the Bernardin Lochmueller on supplemental agreement number two for Cross Pointe Boulevard.

Commissioner Tornatta: Do you want to take them all?

President Korb: All at one time? Yeah, that’s what we talked about. Yeah, that’s great. Let’s go ahead and just do them all at one time.

Madelyn Grayson: You want to pull that one out, the Cross Pointe agreement.

President Korb: Because we’re making an amendment to that?

Madelyn Grayson: John Stoll is here, maybe he can explain.

Commissioner Tornatta: That’s fine.

President Korb: Mr. Stoll, are you here? Could you please come and address this for just a moment please? We were going to approve all of these contracts at one time. So, our question is, do you want us to pull out the one for Bernardin Lochmueller on Cross Pointe Boulevard?

John Stoll: Yes. There’s still some on-going discussions with the railroad as far as what they’re looking for.

President Korb: Okay.

John Stoll: Rather than deal with two separate supplementals, we felt that it would be better if there were additional design changes or anything like that, that the railroad came back with, then we could just deal with it in a single supplemental at a later date.

President Korb: So, that’s the only piece of the puzzle you want removed?

John Stoll: Yes.

President Korb: Okay.

Commissioner Tornatta: Which one is that?

President Korb: That’s going to be the first one–

Ted C. Ziemer, Jr.: Number 13, Roman numeral 13.

Commissioner Tornatta: Yeah, 13. Okay. Do you want to just run through those and give a brief?

President Korb: Absolutely.

Commissioner Nix: I can do that. Is that fine?

President Korb: Yeah, if you would like to, that’s fine.

Commissioner Nix: Number one, let me get my microphone on, Superior Court Misdemeanor Probation Department, this is an agreement with Deputy Sheriff Kelly Williams. The second one is Superior Court Misdemeanor Probation Department agreement with Deputy Sheriff Ryan Barrett. The third is the Community Dental Clinic affiliation agreement with EVSC. The fourth is Maximus professional consulting services agreement. The fifth is Dell master evaluation agreement. The sixth is the Sheriff amendment number two to the Department of Corrections grant to the Sheriff’s Office. Number seven is the Emergency Management Agency Homeland Security sub-grant agreement amendment number one. The eighth is the Health Department Teletask, Incorporated proposal for software maintenance. The ninth is the Commissioners, this is for the Bernardin Lochmueller supplemental agreement number one for Burdette Park-USI trail. Ten is a Commission contract with IKON for maintenance services for Burdette Park copier. Eleven is Commissioners three year dispenser lease agreement with Gehl Foods for Burdette Park. Twelve is the Commissioners lease agreement with American General Finance for use of Burdette Park facilities. We’ve omitted thirteen, is that correct?

President Korb: Yes, sir.

Commissioner Nix: Fourteen is the Health Department, State Department of Health for Lead Poisoning Prevention grant amendment number five. Fifteen is the Commissioners agreement for real estate purchase at Cross Pointe Boulevard project parcel number seven. Sixteen is Commissioners Old Courthouse Ballroom event lease agreement, which has been amended. Seventeen is the Health Department WIC program breastfeeding peer counselor contract. I would like to make that in the form of a motion for approval.

Commissioner Tornatta: Second.

President Korb: All those in favor say aye.

All Commissioners: Aye.

President Korb: Opposed same sign. The motion passes.

Ted C. Ziemer, Jr.: Excuse me, we have one other agreement that was e-mailed about that didn’t get put on this list. We had a conflict in dealing with Webb on the final negotiations of the purchase of lot seven. We engaged Jeff Ahlers at Kahn Dees Donovan and Kahn to handle it, because of our conflict. They’ve done that very successfully. We have a short form of agreement here, which is our standard form of agreement between the county and Jeff Ahlers to perform services in place of us. If you would approve that. You did receive an e-mail on it and a copy of the agreement.

Commissioner Nix: And, this is just an amendment to 15 then, for the parcel seven?

Commissioner Tornatta: No.

Ted C. Ziemer, Jr.: It’s a separate agreement to retain the services of Jeff Ahlers of Kahn Dees Donovan and Kahn.

President Korb: With us this evening is Kelley Coures, President of the Old Courthouse Foundation. Kelly, please come up, if you would.

Kelley Coures: I didn’t expect to be here so soon, Mr. President.

President Korb: Thank you.

Kelley Coures: Your friendly Old Courthouse Foundation Board, you said you wanted, we found some prints, as you know, they are signed and numbered, Jerry Baum prints that he did many years ago as a fundraiser for the Old Courthouse, and you had indicated that you liked them so well that you wanted one for the Commissioners office. So, your friendly Courthouse Foundation Board had one framed and matted just for the County Commissioners–

President Korb: Wow!

Kelley Coures: –office in gratitude for all that you’ve done to make our Old Courthouse beautiful again.

President Korb: Absolutely.

Kelley Coures: You will be glad to know we swiftly and speedily approved a motion today to begin receiving bids from commercial real estate agencies.

President Korb: I heard that, yeah. Thank you very much.

Kelley Coures: It was so fast you would have fainted.

Commissioner Nix: Like a gazelle. Like a gazelle.

Kelley Coures: It was gazelle-like. It was gazelle-like.

President Korb: For those of you–

Kelley Coures: The three treasures, actually, the only treasure that’s missing is the Old Post Office. But, those are the last three treasures in downtown, other than Ted Ziemer.

Ted C. Ziemer, Jr.: Oh, get outta here.

President Korb: What we would like to do–

Commissioner Tornatta: Get outta here?

President Korb: –is introduce Kelley Coures, he is the President of the Old Courthouse Foundation, and I basically begged as a public official we would like to have something updated and nice hanging in our office. So, Kelley thank you so much.

Kelley Coures: You’re more than welcome.

President Korb: I really appreciate it. You’re very kind.

Kelley Coures: The print, the framing and everything was picked out by Dennis Au.

President Korb: He did a great job. This is where you get to give a shameless plug for the Old Courthouse Ballroom.

Commissioner Nix: A shameless plug?

President Korb: Yeah, go ahead.

Commissioner Nix: Please rent from us.

Kelley Coures: Please rent.

President Korb: Thank you, Kelley.

Kelley Coures: It is beautiful. If you haven’t had a chance to see it, you need to get up there and see it.

Commissioner Tornatta: Will do it.

Kelley Coures: Thank you.

Commissioner Tornatta: Thank you.

President Korb: Wow, that’s great. Thanks, Kelley, for waiting patiently. Next on the item list we have, had a couple of phone calls actually, the Old Courthouse clock, for those who are paying attention, has not been chiming. The reason for that is, it has been basically out of commission. What we have done is, we have asked, we have a volunteer, basically, who is in the process of repairing that clock and trying to find parts for it. So, as soon as we get that accomplished we’ll have the Old Courthouse clock keeping time for us again. So, again, thank you to the local volunteer who has asked to remain nameless on that, that works out well.

Commissioner Nix: One of the questions that was asked today was that if we could change the time from 12:00 to 5:00 so that as everybody is getting off work at that time? It would make them feel better, I think, so.

President Korb: Oh, you’re so funny. That’s great. Next, also on new business, celebrating this year, and I went to a banquet yesterday, actually, for the Legal Aid Society, and it is celebrating its 50^th year in our esteemed community. Everything that I’m hearing about it is that it is one of the most advanced pro-active Legal Aid Society’s that really benefits an awful lot of underprivileged citizens in our community. So, that’s a great thing, and want to commend them and congratulate them on the air for that. The next item that we have under new business is the SBA disaster assistance for flood damage. Indiana residents and businesses affected by severe storms and flooding through March 18-20 of 2008 can now apply for low interest disaster loans from the U.S. Small Business Administration. Residents are eligible for loans up to $40,000 in repair or replaced damaged or destroyed personal property. Loans up to $200,000 are available to homeowners to repair or replace damaged or destroyed real estate. For information on the application process in Vanderburgh County you may visit the Southwest Indiana Disaster Resistant Community Corporation, Suite 207 at 318 Main Street. Office hours will be open, I’m sorry, Monday through Thursday, 8:30 a.m to 5:30 p.m., and if you didn’t write that down fast enough you can contact the Commissioners office and we’ll be more than happy to give you that information. Also, additional information is available on the Commissioners home page at Vanderburghgov.org.

Commissioner Nix: Do we have any department head reports?

President Korb: Yeah, do we have any other department heads that wish to make a report? Gary?

Commissioner Tornatta: This is Gary Heck, and Gary has been instrumental, to say the least, in helping out with this program. The prescription drug card program started a little over a year ago, and Gary is going to kind of give some reports and give some updates on what’s being done now, and some new people that we’re trying to reach out to get them taken care of.

Gary Heck: Gary Heck, the Vanderburgh County Health Department. Thank you, Commissioners. I’ve been asked to give you an update on the National Association of Counties prescription drug card that’s been operating here in Vanderburgh County. Before I give you the actual report, I just wanted to let you know that we have reordered cards. We went through the initial allocation that we had, and they’re all out in the hands of the 46 participating pharmacies that are here in the county. When we did our reorder, we ordered both English and Spanish versions, and English and Spanish versions of the posters. These are some of the new cards, samples of the new cards that we have here with us. For the year that just ended, and we went from April to April, there were 34,694 utilizers of the Vanderburgh County prescription drug discount cards. It saved those 34,694 utilizers over $704,000. That was an average of about $10.21 per prescription, or it saved them about 23.8 percent of the total cost of those prescriptions. So, it’s a very successful program. When you look at the Indiana totals, the 34,694 utilizers that are in Vanderburgh County, Indiana has actually had the program longer, they’ve been in operation in one of the counties started in November of 2005, and there’s 362,204 utilizers of those cards over the entire state of Indiana. So, Vanderburgh County makes up a pretty good share of those folks that are saving money with this program. This program is at no additional cost to the county. It’s one of the extra benefits of being a member of the National Association of Counties. It certainly has helped save money, and it’s been well worth the cost for that membership, at least in my opinion, just on this one program, and there’s several more, though. So, we want to thank you for that.

President Korb: Gary, for the benefit of the folks that are watching at home, could you just share a little bit about the program, and who is eligible, who is not? Is it everybody in Vanderburgh County? People just that are at the poverty level? Help us understand that please.

Gary Heck: Well, the first thing is that this isn’t insurance, but the one thing that’s really great about this particular program is that there is no age requirements. There’s no limits on income. It’s for the entire family, and in this particular case the pets in your family also are included as family members. So, if for whatever reason your pets are taking prescription medication, and those prescription medications are covered under the plan, they get the discount just like any other family member. If you do have insurance, and your insurance does cover prescriptions, then that is the, you have to use that program first. But, if for whatever reason your insurance coverage doesn’t cover a particular prescription that you’ve been prescribed by one of your health care providers, then you can certainly use this card. It’s also available for those individuals who are in the, what’s commonly called the “donut hole”, when you get into your Medicare/Medicaid kind of operations. If you choose to use it during that time when you’re paying 100 percent of the cost, you certainly can use this here. Those are things individuals have to make their own decisions about, because if you choose to do this, when you look at, you’re going to be saving money and it will take you longer to get to the point where the program would start picking up the cost again once you reach the $5,000 or whatever that upper limit is. So, those are things individuals still have to make their decisions about. But, for anybody that chooses to use it, it’s a great program, it’s available for any resident in Vanderburgh County, and they’re at every one of the participating pharmacies. All you have to do, you don’t have to call anybody, when you go in to get your drugs, prescription drugs filled, you just ask them and they’ll use the card, and you can make a choice. They’ll show you the prices under the card program, what the regular savings program is, and then you can make your own choice if you want to save money or not. If you do choose to save money, you’re going to save an average of $10.21 on every one that you buy though. Then, you can use that to put some gas in your vehicle maybe.

President Korb: Maybe a gallon or two. So, if somebody wants a card they go to the Health Department?

Gary Heck: They can go to any one of the participating pharmacies is the easiest way. They can come to the Health Department and we would be more than happy to give them to them.

President Korb: Okay.

Gary Heck: But, if they want to cut out the middle man, all they have to do is go to any one of the 46 participating pharmacies and it’s virtually every one that is in town, and just go to the prescription desk and ask and they’ll see posters and they’ll see little displays with these cards in them.

President Korb: That’s great.

Ted C. Ziemer, Jr.: And, Gary, it is all of the major chains, I mean, CVS and Walgreen’s and so forth which have numerous branches, any of those?

Gary Heck: Any major chains, any local pharmacists that are here locally, that only have stores just in Evansville, they’re at both of the hospitals, so, any one of them, they’re all available.

President Korb: Great. Good, thanks, Gary. Anything else?

Gary Heck: Nothing from me.

President Korb: Okay. Great. Thank you very much. Super, yeah that would be great, Marissa or Bill. Any other department heads that need to speak?

President Korb: Hey, Joyce. How are you?

Joyce Moers: Great.

President Korb: Good. If you would just state your name and where you work.

Joyce Moers: Joyce Moers, Burdette Park. We just wanted to make the Commissioners and everyone from the public aware, this Saturday we’re going to have a bike race. It’s going to start at the BMX race, it’s called the Second Wurst Bike Ride. They got the name from bratwurst, that’s where the wurst came from. They’re inviting everyone to participate. It’s to increase awareness of the Burdette Park’s Discovery Trail bike routes. You can ride as little as six miles, or you can go as far as 32 miles, if you feel like you want a longer ride. It does go along into the river bottoms, so it can be a scenic ride. You can take your kids, your grandkids, anyone you would like to from your family. There is no registration fee. It’s all free. At the end of the ride it’s gonna have, they’re gonna have lunch. They’re going to have hot dogs and bratwurst and drinks for everybody to enjoy. It’s going to start about eleven, or 9:30 and should end around 11:30-12:00, something like that.

President Korb: And, meet at the BMX track?

Joyce Moers: Yes.

Commissioner Nix: Could you run by the sponsors one time, if you haven’t done that?

Joyce Moers: The Evansville Bike Club, and the drinks are furnished by RC, and I think the food was donated by one of the bike–

Commissioner Nix: That was brought up just a little while ago. Does anyone remember who that was? It was bicycle–

Joyce Moers: Dan’s Cyclorama, I think.

Commissioner Nix: Dan’s, that’s it.

Joyce Moers: Okay.

Commissioner Nix: Okay, just to give them a plug.

Joyce Moers: Right. That’s it.

President Korb: That’s it? Thanks, Joyce.

Joyce Moers: Thanks.

President Korb: Appreciate it.

President Korb: Mr. Stoll? Our infamous County Engineer.

Commissioner Nix: Engineer of the Year.

President Korb: Engineer of the Year.

John Stoll: Not anymore. I’ve got several things. First is a utility agreement for the Green River Road-Millersburg Road project. This is for the AT&T relocations on that project. The contract amount is $123,710.53, and I need your approval on that.

Commissioner Tornatta: So moved.

Commissioner Nix: Second.

President Korb: Discussion? Hearing none, all those in favor say aye.

All Commissioners: Aye.

President Korb: Opposed same sign. The motion passes.

John Stoll: Then, next I have a request from the YMCA on the acquisition of their property for the Cross Pointe project. They have requested an increase of $2,800 to cover the costs of a light pole that was within the right-of-way limits that wasn’t shown in the appraisal. The increase of $2,800 increases their final offer amount to $32,200, and I would request that you approve that amended offer amount.

Commissioner Tornatta: So moved.

Commissioner Nix: Second.

President Korb: A motion has been made and seconded. Discussion? Hearing none, all those in favor say aye.

All Commissioners: Aye.

President Korb: Opposed same sign. The motion passes.

John Stoll: Next, I have street acceptances for Sections D and E of Willow Creek Subdivision. This covers 855 feet of Willow Creek Drive, 555 feet of Jillian Court, 730 of Greystone Court, and 527 feet of Allison Drive. All of the repairs have been completed, so, it’s requested those be accepted for maintenance.

Commissioner Tornatta: So moved.

Commissioner Nix: Second.

President Korb: Discussion? A motion has been made and seconded. All those in favor say aye.

All Commissioners: Aye.

President Korb: Opposed same sign. The motion passes.

John Stoll: Next, I have a street acceptance request for Stonegate Estates Subdivision. This is for 2,044 feet of Skipping Stone Drive, and 822 feet of Crooked Stick Lane.

Commissioner Tornatta: So moved.

Commissioner Nix: Second.

President Korb: A motion has been made and seconded. Discussion? Hearing none, all those in favor say aye.

All Commissioners: Aye.

President Korb: Opposed same sign. The motion passes.

John Stoll: Next, I have a right-of-way offer, this is on parcel one on Green River Road, and it’s owned by Schnepper. The offer amount is $29,600. I request your approval to make that offer.

Commissioner Tornatta: Motion to approve.

Commissioner Nix: Second.

President Korb: A motion has been made and seconded. Discussion? Hearing none, all those in favor say aye.

All Commissioners: Aye.

President Korb: Opposed same sign. The motion passes.

John Stoll: Then, I’ve got another right-of-way offer, this is on parcel four owned by Carey, and the offer amount is $37,350.

Commissioner Tornatta: Motion to approve.

Commissioner Nix: Second.

President Korb: A motion has been made and seconded. Discussion? Hearing none, all those in favor say aye.

All Commissioners: Aye.

President Korb: Opposed same sign. The motion passes.

John Stoll: Then, the next item that I have is a reimbursable utility agreement with Vectren. This is for the Cross Pointe Boulevard project. This covers the relocation of their gas lines and electric lines that are in conflict with the project. The amount that the county will have to pay for those relocations is $306,325.80.

Commissioner Nix: Move approval.

Commissioner Tornatta: Second.

President Korb: A motion has been made and seconded. Discussion? Hearing none, all those in favor say aye.

All Commissioners: Aye.

President Korb: Opposed same sign. The motion passes.

John Stoll: Next, I’ve got a change order on the Hogue Road culvert rehab project. This was at the intersection of Hogue and Vanness. The increase for the change order is $10,281.58. The reason for the increase was due to additional asphalt for the approaches, and we also had to install a curb at the northeast corner of the intersection.

Commissioner Nix: Move approval.

Commissioner Tornatta: Second.

President Korb: A motion has been made and seconded. Discussion? Hearing none, all those in favor say aye.

All Commissioners: Aye.

President Korb: Opposed same sign. The motion passes, and thank you for getting that finished.

John Stoll: It took a while, but we finally got it.

President Korb: Yes, it did. Thank you, Mr. Hardy for staying on us for that.

John Stoll: And, then the last item that I have is another change order. This is on contract VC07-10-01, St. Joseph Avenue bridge number 1924 replacement. This is an increase of $13,931.45. It covers additional stone bedding for the pipes. It has some increases in asphalt quantities on the approaches. Then, we also had to make some modifications in the field, as far as the alignment of pipes and how they came through the sides of the box culvert. I request your approval on that change order as well.

Commissioner Tornatta: So moved.

Commissioner Nix: Second.

President Korb: A motion has been made and seconded. Discussion? Hearing none, all those in favor say aye.

All Commissioners: Aye.

President Korb: Opposed same sign. The motion passes.

John Stoll: That’s all I have.

President Korb: Thank you, John.

John Stoll: Thanks.

President Korb: Under old business, we have the modular home tie down update. The first round of reimbursement claims have been submitted and are in the process of being processed for payment. So, that should be, those checks should be going out shortly.

President Korb: And, the next and final item, or next to close to final item is public comment. Does anybody out there have anything they wish to say? Yes, sir, please come forward.

Wayne Fehd: I’m Wayne Fehd. I live at 13040 Green River Road, Evansville, Indiana.

President Korb: Okay.

Wayne Fehd: The reason I’m here, we’ve got a section of Boonville-New Harmony Road over at Daylight between Young Road and Schlensker Ditch, when Boonville-New Harmony Road was extended from I-164 interchange, and since it’s been built about 18 years ago, or 15, there’s been no maintenance done on it. The ditches are full of siltation on the north side, up to the top of the pipes that go underneath the road. I’ve been in contact with the County Garage over the years, begging them to clean the trees off of the right-of-way. A couple of years ago they took the trees off the north side, on the right-of-way on the ditch on the north side. On the south side they’ve got about two thirds of it done, they quit in front of the house that sits on the south side. From the house driveway to the creek, or Schlensker Ditch, they’ve left the trees there. This is creating a problem, the water is bowing out of that south ditch and going across my field. It’s got a rut there, it’s cut pretty deep, about a foot deep, and, eventually, if we don’t get this corrected, it’s going to go across that field and cut a new ditch down through that farm.

Commissioner Nix: Mr. Fehd, if you would, let me talk to Mike Duckworth about that tomorrow. He had to leave the meeting today, but I would like to get with him tomorrow, and we’ll get out there and take a look at that.

Commissioner Tornatta: That would probably be an opportunity to talk to Bill Fluty, or Bill Jeffers.

Commissioner Nix: Yeah, but it’s more a drainage, it’s more an easement issue along the roadway, isn’t it?

Commissioner Tornatta: It’s drainage.

President Korb: It’s not an easement issue, it’s–

Commissioner Nix: I’m talking about it’s within the easement, the county easement for maintenance.

Wayne Fehd: Yes, yes.

Commissioner Nix: Okay.

President Korb: Okay.

Wayne Fehd: As far as I know.

Commissioner Nix: Right.

Wayne Fehd: I’m just here because the water is going out across my field.

President Korb: Sure.

Commissioner Nix: Let me get with Mike.

Wayne Fehd: And it’s creating a ditch out across my field.

Commissioner Nix: Let me get with Mike tomorrow, and I’ll see what he’s done to it, and what else we can do with it.

Wayne Fehd: They’ve been out there, all of them. John Stoll’s been there. Bill Jeffers’ been there. Mike Wathen’s been there. Nothing gets done. I was promised last year by Scott Wischer that he was going to get the siltation out of the ditch.

President Korb: Scott works for Mike, yes.

Wayne Fehd: Now I’m getting the answer that the county equipment ain’t big enough to get that dirt out of that north ditch. That’s why I’m here.

President Korb: Okay.

Commissioner Nix: Let me look into it. I know you had mentioned that a couple of weeks ago in a meeting we had, and I did not get a chance to do that yet, but I will.

President Korb: Mr. Fehd, for the record, could you just give us some contact information. Not your home address, well, you gave us your home address, but a telephone number, or if you would like to do that off the record, you can. We would be happy to contact you and update you.

Wayne Fehd: Yeah, well, if, my home phone number is area code 812-867-5758.

President Korb: Okay.

Wayne Fehd: That’s my fax number also.

President Korb: Okay, we’ll give you a call.

Commissioner Nix: Yeah.

President Korb: And we’ll get to it.

Wayne Fehd: Okay.

President Korb: Okay?

Wayne Fehd: Now, do I need to stay for the Drainage Board?

Commissioner Nix: For this same issue?

Wayne Fehd: Yes.

Commissioner Tornatta: Uh-uh.

President Korb: No, sir.

Wayne Fehd: Okay.

President Korb: Not unless you want to. You’re welcome to stay if you want to, but you don’t have to.

Wayne Fehd: You’ll let me know what you’re gonna do?

President Korb: We’ll do it. We’ll take care of it.

Commissioner Nix: Thanks.

Wayne Fehd: And, how long will that take until I get an answer?

Commissioner Nix: Let me look at it, and we’ll get back with you.

Wayne Fehd: Next week?

Commissioner Nix: If I can get out there between now and next week, yes, sir.

Wayne Fehd: Before the next meeting?

Commissioner Nix: Well, we have a meeting next Tuesday, is that right? Yeah, let me try, I’ll try to get that done before then.

Wayne Fehd: We want to get that field planted if it quits raining.

Commissioner Nix: Yeah, that’s the other thing too.

Wayne Fehd: We started on it last week.

President Korb: Because, I’m wondering, it might be too soft to get equipment in there.

Commissioner Nix: Well, we’ll just have to look at it and see.

President Korb: Okay, yeah, we’ll take a peek and see what we can find out for you.

Wayne Fehd: Also, where that ditch is bowing out, through that bank there where that culvert pipe, the farthest, I think there’s three culvert pipes that goes underneath the road, the farthest east one, where it’s bowing out on that bank there and cutting out across the field there needs to be some rip rap there or something to take that water when it comes out of that pipe so it doesn’t keep eating on the dirt there.

President Korb: Okay.

Wayne Fehd: I think our biggest problem is that north ditch is full of siltation, about three to four feet deep.

President Korb: Wow.

Wayne Fehd: And, it’s level with the pipes that go underneath the road pretty near.

President Korb: Which definitely obstructs the flow.

Wayne Fehd: It doesn’t let that water on the north side get off into that creek before the other water comes from Scott School down Schlensker Ditch–

President Korb: Right.

Wayne Fehd: –and where we’re putting them all together there and putting pressure on that pipe trying to take that water over there.

President Korb: Sure. We’ll get out there and take a look at it as quickly as we can, and we’ll contact you.

Wayne Fehd: But, you will let me know something in a couple of weeks?

President Korb: Absolutely.

Wayne Fehd: Absolutely in two weeks? Okay, thank you.

President Korb: Thank you. Any other public comment this evening?

Michael Ingram: My name is Michael Ingram. I’m the president of the Windemere Farms Homeowners Association.

President Korb: Hi, Mike.

Michael Ingram: I’ve inherited a problem out there with a retention pond. There is a subdivision on the other side of Kansas Road that’s being developed, and the drainage has been routed into our, under Kansas Road into the lake, as we like to call it, in Windemere Farms. When Windemere Farms was originally built, the residents paid to have this lake dredged out, because there was a lot of silt that came through while the houses were being built. But, now there’s 109 finished houses, and two unfinished lots. So, Windemere Farms is finished, but the subdivision on the other side of Kansas Road, there’s constantly trash coming under the road out into our lake. It’s created an island out there. Every time it rains we get building materials floating out into the lake. It’s a mess. Windermere Farms is kind of an upscale subdivision. We have a lot of rules. Everybody takes pride in their lawn, their houses, we have a lot of rules, and this is just a real eyesore. Plus, there’s been a couple of kids that got stranded out there walking out on the little mud island that had to be rescued. As the new president, I would like to do something about this. I don’t know if you can help me. I need a suggestion. I don’t want to call someone up and say dredge this thing out and find out I can’t do that. I would like some information as to how to proceed. I made six phone calls to different people. Several of the people that the gentleman before me just mentioned, and then I finally talked to a young lady and she said you need to show up at room 310 on the 13^th–

Commissioner Nix: You did good.

Michael Ingram: –and present your case. So, that’s why I’m here.

Commissioner Nix: Do you think, is this all because of construction that’s going on?

Michael Ingram: Yes.

Commissioner Nix: Okay.

Michael Ingram: They’re building new houses, and they’ve stripped all the grass off the land.

Commissioner Nix: We, I guess, rezoned that some time back.

Michael Ingram: Yeah.

Commissioner Nix: That area over there.

Michael Ingram: They have put up silt fences, but every time it rains they’re laying on the ground, and all the trash comes into our lake again.

Commissioner Nix: I’ll be out that way, let me look into that.

Michael Ingram: I’ve lost a couple of tennis shoes myself pulling trash out of the pond.

Commissioner Nix: Your last name is? I’m sorry.

Michael Ingram: Ingram.

Commissioner Nix: Ingram?

Michael Ingram: Michael Ingram, yes.

Commissioner Nix: Okay. I work with a Michael Ingram also.

President Korb: I-n-g-r-a-m?

Michael Ingram: Yes.

President Korb: Okay.

Commissioner Nix: Okay.

Michael Ingram: Like I say, I would just like to have some help as to how to proceed. The neighborhood would really like to get this cleaned up, one way or another.

President Korb: Do you need contact information for him?

Commissioner Nix: No, I’ll, if you could maybe e-mail or call our office tomorrow with that.

Michael Ingram: Okay, well, I can just, I can give you a card, if that would work.

Commissioner Nix: Okay. That would be fine.

President Korb: That would be great.

Michael Ingram: Okay.

President Korb: Good.

Commissioner Nix: I think I know what the problem is there.

Michael Ingram: Okay.

President Korb: Super.

Michael Ingram: Thank you.

Commissioner Nix: Thank you.

President Korb: Thank you for coming. Appreciate it, Mike. Any other public comment? Seeing none.

President Korb: We have some consent items, but we have one addition. Mr. Nix, would you like to make that please.

Commissioner Nix: Sure, that was a travel, hang on a second, let me get, do we have that in front of us now?

Commissioner Tornatta: For Donna.

President Korb: Right there.

Commissioner Tornatta: County Council.

Commissioner Nix: Okay, it was a travel request for County Council to that, and I would like to make a motion we approve the consent items.

Commissioner Tornatta: I would like to pull out employment changes, and approve all other consent items.

Commissioner Nix: Okay, is that in the form of a motion?

Commissioner Tornatta: Yes.

Commissioner Nix: I will second that.

President Korb: A motion is, whoa. Madelyn?

Madelyn Grayson: There’s like a stack that thick of employment changes.

Commissioner Tornatta: We’ll go through the motion.

Commissioner Nix: You’re saying that there is numerous employment changes? Okay.

Commissioner Tornatta: Right. We’ll come back to the employment changes.

President Korb: Okay. Alright, a motion has been made and seconded. Discussion on that? Hearing none, all those in favor say aye.

All Commissioners: Aye.

President Korb: Opposed same sign. The motion passes.

Commissioner Tornatta: Okay, I will make a motion to approve all employment changes but the Cooperative Extension.

Commissioner Nix: And, I second that. Excuse me, I retract that.

President Korb: Yeah. Okay. For the lack of a second. Hearing none. The motion does not pass. I need a motion please to accept all the employment changes.

Commissioner Nix: So moved.

President Korb: Second. All those in favor say aye.

Commissioner Nix: Aye.

President Korb: Aye. Opposed same sign. The motion passes.

Commissioner Tornatta: I might say a cleaner way to do that would be to approve all the other changes, which I approve, but that one point, and then we can vote a no down on that, because I’m fine with the rest of the changes. If you would like to go through that, rescind your motion and go through...I’m okay with the rest of the changes, but the one I’ll vote no and you can vote yes and approve it, and I will vote no.

Commissioner Nix: Is that motion not good enough, for the record?

Ted C. Ziemer, Jr.: Yeah, I’ve lost just exactly how we did this. As I understand it, what Commissioner Tornatta is suggesting, there are numerous employment changes, he is willing to vote with the Commissioners yes on all of the employment changes, but one.

Commissioner Tornatta: Correct.

Ted C. Ziemer, Jr.: On that one he would like you to vote separately so that he can vote no. So, I suggest that you rescind all votes that you’ve taken on the employment changes, make two motions, one to approve all employment changes, we’ll have to identify it by some way or another which one we’re not approving, and then take a vote on that. Then, call up the other employment change and take a vote on that.

Commissioner Tornatta: You have to rescind your motion.

Commissioner Nix: I rescind my motion.

President Korb: Are we able to do that after it’s already been voted on?

Ted C. Ziemer, Jr.: Yes, you can do anything you want to do.

Commissioner Tornatta: Second.

President Korb: You don’t tell me that every week.

Ted C. Ziemer, Jr.: Well, I’ll always tell you that about motions.

President Korb: A motion has been made and seconded. Discussion? Hearing none. All those in favor say aye.

All Commissioners: Aye.

President Korb: Opposed same sign. The motion passes. Now, let’s start over, guys.

Commissioner Tornatta: I would like to approve employment changes, except the Cooperative Extension.

Commissioner Nix: Second.

President Korb: I’m trying to find where that one is on here, Troy.

Commissioner Nix: Well, they’re not–

Commissioner Tornatta: It’s lumped together.

President Korb: Okay. Great. Discussion? Hearing none, all those in favor say aye.

All Commissioners: Aye.

President Korb: Opposed same sign. The motion passes.

Commissioner Nix: And, I would like to make a motion that we approve the employment change for the Co-Op Extension.

President Korb: Second. All those in favor say aye.

Commissioner Nix: Aye.

President Korb: Aye. Opposed same sign.

Commissioner Tornatta: Aye.

President Korb: The motion passes. That being done–

Commissioner Tornatta: Motion to adjourn.

President Korb: Second?

Commissioner Nix: Second.

President Korb: The meeting is adjourned.
