The Vanderburgh County Board of Commissioners met in session this 10^th day of October, 2006 at 3:30 p.m. in room 301 of the Civic Center Complex with President Cheryl Musgrave presiding.

President Musgrave: Good afternoon. I would like to call to order the October 10, 2006 meeting of the Board of Commissioners of Vanderburgh County. It is just about 3:30. We will start with introductions to my right.

Marissa Nichoalds: Marissa Nichoalds, Superintendent of County Buildings.

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

Commissioner Nix: Bill Nix, County Commissioner.

Preston Edge: Preston Edge, Memorial High School.

President Musgrave: County Commissioner Cheryl Musgrave.

Commissioner Shetler: Tom Shetler, County Commissioner.

Rachel Krampe: Rachel Krampe, Central High School.

Madelyn Grayson: Madelyn Grayson, Recording Secretary.

Bill Fluty: Bill Fluty, County Auditor.

President Musgrave: Would you please join me in the Pledge of Allegiance?

(The Pledge of Allegiance was given.)

President Musgrave: Is there a motion to approve the minutes of October 3^rd?

Commissioner Nix: So moved.

Commissioner Shetler: Second.

President Musgrave: All those in favor?

All Commissioners: Aye.

President Musgrave: The motion carries.

President Musgrave: We have an action item, County Treasurer, Z. Tuley is here to award the bid for cash management, which we took bids for last week. Treasurer Tuley?

Z. Tuley: Hi, I’m Z. Tuley, Vanderburgh County Treasurer. I did get the packets up to the Commission office. I don’t know if you had time to review them or not, but the basic overall picture comes right down to the bottom line of who is going to have the least expensive annual cost, and that would be Old National Bank at $11,500 for an annual fee.

President Musgrave: So, your recommendation is to award the bid to ONB on the basis that it was the most competitive?

Z. Tuley: It was the best bid.

President Musgrave: Best bid?

Z. Tuley: Uh-huh.

President Musgrave: Commissioners, are there any questions?

Z. Tuley: It was the lowest bid, I should have said.

President Musgrave: Okay.

Commissioner Nix: Move approval.

Commissioner Shetler: I will second.

President Musgrave: All those in favor?

Commissioners: Aye.

President Musgrave: The motion carries.

Z. Tuley: Thank you.

President Musgrave: Good luck.

Z. Tuley: Then, Ted will get back with me on the contract after review? It’s in your packet.

Ted C. Ziemer, Jr.: Oh, is it in here? Okay, yeah, sure I will.

Z. Tuley: Thank you.

President Musgrave: We move now to the Building Authority, here to ask for approval for six flow meters for the Centre using Food and Beverage Funds. Mr. Dave Rector.

Dave Rector: Good afternoon, Dave Rector, Building Authority. I think I forwarded to you Scott Moore’s e-mail, just describing what we needed to do. I thought his explanation might help. But, the flow meters control and help stage the boilers and chillers for the HVAC system. We need to replace six of them at a cost of approximately $12,000, and wanted to request we do that with F&B funds.

President Musgrave: Any questions? Is there a motion?

Commissioner Shetler: So moved.

Commissioner Nix: Second.

President Musgrave: All those in favor?

Commissioners: Aye.

Dave Rector: Thank you.

President Musgrave: The motion carries.

President Musgrave: Health Department HIPPA agreement. This agreement with MRC, the IT contractor for the county, has been reviewed by the County Attorney and has been found to be satisfactory. Are there any questions? Is there a motion?

Commissioner Shetler: So moved.

Commissioner Nix: Second.

President Musgrave: All those in favor?

Commissioners: Aye.

President Musgrave: The motion carries.

President Musgrave: Department head reports, Mr. Stoll, County Engineer.

John Stoll: I’ve got two items, the first is a supplemental agreement for the University Parkway project, phases two and three. This supplemental agreement is for $26,500, and it is required by INDOT as part of some additional soils work that is necessitated by the fact that the road alignment has been shifted. About 1.3 miles of the road alignment was shifted, as you know, and because that’s on a new alignment, that additional soils work has to be done to comply with INDOT. The supplemental is with Bernardin Lochumueller’s original design agreement, and I would request approval of that supplemental.

President Musgrave: This is all part of the alignment that was shown at the public hearing that we had some months ago.

John Stoll: Right.

President Musgrave: So, there have been no changes in alignment since that time?

John Stoll: Right, this is just to do the soils work for that alignment that was presented at that time.

President Musgrave: Alright, is there a motion?

Commissioner Shetler: So moved.

Commissioner Nix: Second.

President Musgrave: All those in favor?

Commissioners: Aye.

President Musgrave: The motion carries.

John Stoll: The second item I have is a deed for a right-of-way dedication on Boulder Pass at Browning Road. This right-of-way dedication is for the owner/developer of the ground off of Boulder Pass to do some improvements to the intersection of Boulder Pass and Browning. It’s a privately maintained road. It’s all going to be done without any county funds or county forces, and the right-of-way dedication’s just needed because it is an expansion of an existing, platted public right-of-way.

President Musgrave: Is there a motion to approve?

Commissioner Shetler: So moved.

Commissioner Nix: Second.

President Musgrave: All those in favor?

Commissioners: Aye.

President Musgrave: The motion carries.

John Stoll: That’s all I have.

President Musgrave: Okay, thank you. I understand that none of the department, other department heads had anything to report. Is anyone else here? Mr. Ziemer, any reports?

Ted C. Ziemer, Jr.: No.

President Musgrave: Alright, we move on now to board appointments. Pigeon Creek Greenway, Sue McCool Lochmueller to fill our vacancy on that. Is there a motion?

Commissioner Shetler: So moved.

Commissioner Nix: Second.

President Musgrave: All those in favor?

Commissioners: Aye.

President Musgrave: The motion carries.

President Musgrave: Is there any new business? Is there any old business?

President Musgrave: Is there anyone here to make public comment to the Commissioners? I see no one.

President Musgrave: We have a consent agenda. Commissioners, is there a motion to approve the consent agenda?

Commissioner Nix: So moved.

Commissioner Shetler: Second.

President Musgrave: All those in favor?

All Commissioners: Aye.

President Musgrave: Any other business?

Commissioner Nix: Motion to adjourn?

President Musgrave: Thank you.

Commissioner Shetler: Second.
