VANDERBURGH COUNTY

BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS

OCTOBER 23, 2007

The Vanderburgh County Board of Commissioners met in session this 23^rd day of October, 2007 at 3:31 p.m. in room 301 of the Civic Center Complex with President Bill Nix presiding.

President Nix: Good afternoon. I would like to call to order the Board of Commissioners of Vanderburgh County, October 23, 2007 at 3:31. We’re a minute or so late. I’ll start with introductions to my far right.

Marissa Nichoalds: Marissa Nichoalds, Superintendent of County Buildings.

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

Commissioner Korb: Jeff Korb, County Commissioner.

President Nix: Bill Nix, County Commissioner.

Commissioner Tornatta: Troy Tornatta, County Commissioner.

Madelyn Grayson: Madelyn Grayson, Recording Secretary.

Bill Fluty: Bill Fluty, County Auditor.

President Nix: If you would please join me in the Pledge of Allegiance.

(The Pledge of Allegiance was given.)

President Nix: If you would, I missed one introduction. To my right here is, excuse me, two introductions. To my right is–

Andrew Ritter: Andrew Ritter, Mater Dei High School.

Ellen Scherger: Ellen Scherger, Central High School.

President Nix: Thank you.

President Nix: The first item is permission to open quotes. I understand that we’ve had somewhat of a little bit of a concern about the quotes, the way they’ve been presented. We’re probably going to look at a no bid on this. Go ahead.

Ted C. Ziemer, Jr.: I don’t know. Have we solved the problems? Or do we still have problems? Debbie?

Debbie Spalding: Debbie Spalding with the Purchasing Department. We did find the drug policy, after closer review, is in the package. As far as the MBE/WBE policy, there was verbiage that the information could be found after the instruction to bidders. Those documents weren’t physically in the package. Mike Shoulders was saying, the architect was saying that many times a contractor will go ahead and, they know what the documents look like, and they will go ahead and include them with the bid. So, I’m not sure if that’s what happened, if they’re in the bid or not.

Ted C. Ziemer, Jr.: Well, the Commissioners have the option, if they are concerned about whether the bids, as advertised, and then in the specifications for the bids, whether or not they contained all the county requirements for bidding. If you have reason to believe that they did not, you can reject all of the bids. We won’t open them, we’ll readvertise and open them at the subsequent meeting.

President Nix: I would feel more comfortable with not opening the bids at this time and revisit this, I guess, in two weeks, making sure that all the information is correct. I don’t know if the Commissioners have any other opinion.

Ted C. Ziemer, Jr.: Well, excuse me, we either reject them or we open them. If we reject them, we readvertise and every, so, it won’t be ready, I don’t think in two weeks. It might be ready in two weeks. I don’t know whether we can make it in two weeks.

Mike Shoulders: Can we open these bids, examine them, see what the contractors have included, and then if we elect to reject them, do so after the review, the full reviewing of what’s inside?

Ted C. Ziemer, Jr.: Mr. Shoulders, my concern about that is, after we’ve opened them, they become a part of a public record. So, other potential bidders would have the opportunity to know what these bids were.

Mike Shoulders: Well, that’s fair, if you think you might have to reject them.

Ted C. Ziemer, Jr.: So, there’s no harm, no foul if we just reject the bids today, readvertise, these bidders and any other bidders that want to bid can submit bids for the next bid opening, and then everybody’s on the same footing. In the meantime, before we advertise we make sure that the ad and the specs do contain all of the county’s standard provisions for bidding.

Mike Shoulders: Okay, we, you know, the project’s been sort of schedule challenged and I hate to see us move it back, but if you feel that that’s the prudent way to go, then I can’t argue with it.

President Nix: I guess, the question I have is, is there a way to get this on the 13^th of November’s agenda, and receive the bids and accept them that day, and then also maybe award that day? If at all possible.

Debbie Spalding: The advertising rules state that they have to be a week ahead, the second advertisement is a week ahead of the bid opening, at least. Then the previous is a week ahead of that. So, I don’t know if, since it was already advertised, if we could say that it was advertised and we’re just extending it like an addendum? That would be a question.

Ted C. Ziemer, Jr.: The problem is that other bidders who did not respond to the first advertisement wouldn’t know that they’ve got an opportunity to bid again.

Debbie Spalding: So, you’re saying we should advertise again?

Ted C. Ziemer, Jr.: If we are going to reject the bids, I think we should readvertise.

Mike Shoulders: That’s true there, because a bidder may not have had time, as of this date, and had that person known that this was extended for one or two weeks, that person may have elected to be in the bidding process, and could turn around and cause us problems. So, I think that is correct what you’re saying, at least from where we sit and our experience.

Ted C. Ziemer, Jr.: It’s just that while we would like to bend over backwards, I think, plus the law requires it, that we don’t give any advantage to any bidder, nor do we place any bidder at a disadvantage by some prior knowledge or anything that we gave to any other bidder. So, I think the best course of action, if we are not going to open them today, will be to reject them, readvertise and open at the advertised date.

President Nix: Run me through this one more time. When could we do that then, with today being the 23^rd of October?

Debbie Spalding: It can’t happen in two weeks.

President Nix: Okay.

Debbie Spalding: If you’re having a meeting in two weeks, because of the advertising dates.

Mike Shoulders: The law is that you advertise twice, seven days apart, and then no sooner can they be opened than 10 days after the second bid, so that’s 17, and then it takes some notice to get it in the newspaper. They can’t just, like, it takes like three days before the newspaper can get it in the hopper to be published. So, it’s at least 21 days, I think, or something like that.

Commissioner Tornatta: Okay, hold on a second. You say ten days, not seven?

Mike Shoulders: No, no, it’s, okay you run the first ad that’s when the period starts.

Commissioner Tornatta: We could run it on say, it’s the 23^rd–

Madelyn Grayson: The paper’s got to have a three day notice. So, the earliest you could get it in the paper would be Saturday. If that’s an okay publication date?

Mike Shoulders: Then you would have to advertise a second time, seven days later, and then you would have to allow ten days after the second running of the ad before you can actually open those bids. So, that’s 17 days, plus the three or four days to get it in the paper.

Commissioner Tornatta: Okay, and that would be on the 13^th, that would be on the 13^th.

Ted C. Ziemer, Jr.: Yeah, really we’ve got three weeks here. Now, does somebody got a calendar? You’re looking at a calendar?

Commissioner Tornatta: Yeah.

Ted C. Ziemer, Jr.: Let’s say we advertise Saturday, then the second advertisement, or Saturday is the what?

Madelyn Grayson: October 27^th.

Ted C. Ziemer, Jr.: The second would be the following Saturday, which is what date?

Commissioner Tornatta: The 3^rd.

President Nix: That would be the 3^rd.

Ted C. Ziemer, Jr.: Okay, then is it ten days between that and the 13^th? It could be done.

Mike Shoulders: Yeah, it could just barely be done.

Commissioner Tornatta: Maybe even a day early.

President Nix: We’ve got someone here that’s–

Tom Groves: I’m Tom Groves with ARC Construction. I’ve faced this situation before on minor technicalities, and what’s happened before is there’s a statement in the bidding documents the owner has the right to reject or accept any and all bids no matter if it’s just a small technicality for the WBE and the MBE form was not attached. Well, some people went ahead and included that in their bids. It’s a minor, real minor technicality, and it’s penalizing the people who has already bid the job today, in my opinion.

Ted C. Ziemer, Jr.: Well, I don’t know that it’s penalizing anybody, because nobody knows what your bid is.

Tom Groves: Yes, but still the bid date was today, and, like I said, now it’s just going to give more people opportunities. The bid date was set, and if people didn’t read it, or didn’t pick the plans up, it’s giving an unfair advantage to the people who didn’t bid the job today, in my opinion.

Mike Shoulders: The only difference, Tom, is what’s being said is that there was something left out of the specs. It’s not a defectiveness on the part of a bidder. We’re saying, or they’re saying, or we’re all saying that there’s a WMBE form that was not in there. Now, what he’s saying is that most of the contractors have that form, they’ve used it a hundred times, and since it’s alluded to in the specs, they will fill it out and include it. If we open the bids, we may find it in there, but we may not. So, you know, I think the prudent legal, I’m not the attorney, Ted’s the attorney, so, we need to follow his prudent–

Ted C. Ziemer, Jr.: Thank you for that.

Mike Shoulders: –you know, I mean, I know more than he does, but at least he’s got a sticker and a stamp that says he’s an attorney see.

President Nix: Okay.

Tom Groves: I just know the owner has done that by saying we can accept or reject any and all bids.

President Nix: Okay, thank you, sir.

Tom Groves: Thank you.

Mike Shoulders: Thank you, Tom.

Tom Groves: Thank you.

President Nix: Commissioners? Commissioners?

Mike Shoulders: If I could add something here, I heard, and this is totally unofficial, off the wall street talk, that there was some confusion and the bids might be higher than they could have been with some clarification that we didn’t have time for at the end of the bid period by addendum. We can do that now, and probably save ourselves some money. So, if that factors into it. I mean, that’s unofficial, that’s not, that’s just something here say, but I’m thinking there could be some truth to this.

Commissioner Korb: Mike, when was construction supposed to start?

Mike Shoulders: Pardon me?

Commissioner Korb: When was construction supposed to start?

Mike Shoulders: Well, you know, it’s not weather challenged, it’s just, you know, we would like to start booking engagements around the first of the year. But, I mean, we’re pushing that and we’re not going to....is there a wedding reception scheduled?

President Nix: There’s talk of a reception, I don’t have the exact date in March, we have not booked that. So, that’s not--

Mike Shoulders: In the specs, I think the scheduled completion date was, Tom, do you remember? Was it March 1^st or March 15^th?

Tom Groves: March 15^th.

Mike Shoulders: It was March 15^th , and maybe they can still meet that, if we do meet this 13^th, you know, date.

Commissioner Korb: Well, my inclination is that it’s, someone new going to bid is probably not going to get that wound up and into it on such a short time notice and time table, we only have two bids here, but, unfortunately, I think it’s the legality of it all. We don’t want to expose ourselves to that, that would be kind of silly.

Mike Shoulders: I agree, but you may lose those two bidders too though. So, I just don’t, I think the prudent action is to go with counsel’s recommendation. Our apologies for missing that one sheet of MBE/WBE, but it happens and we’ll be sure it’s in there this next time.

Commissioner Korb: Are you going to clarify the other stuff that you said was...okay. Okay.

President Nix: I’ll entertain a motion.

Commissioner Korb: So moved.

President Nix: What are we voting on?

Commissioner Korb: Well, we’re voting on rebidding this thing and putting it in the newspaper on the timetable that we discussed. Is that right, counselor?

Ted C. Ziemer, Jr.: Yes.

President Nix: The motion has been made.

Commissioner Tornatta: Second.

President Nix: And seconded. Any other conversation? If not, all in favor?

All Commissioners: Aye.

President Nix: Opposed same sign.

Madelyn Grayson: Commissioners, could we get clarification on who will be placing the legal ad? Is that something I’ll be placing on behalf of the Commissioners, or Purchasing?

Ted C. Ziemer, Jr.: I would prefer that you did, because you know exactly what it’s supposed to say.

Mike Shoulders: I’ll work with you, but you be sure it’s placed, okay? Fair enough. It needs to follow the invitation to bid that’s in the project specs. So, we furnish it, you may want to actually, you know, take it to the paper.

Madelyn Grayson: So, you’ll, can you e-mail it to me?

Mike Shoulders: I can, and the paper anymore they want it electronically.

Madelyn Grayson: I will need to have it by tomorrow morning by noon to have it run on Saturday.

Mike Shoulders: You’ll have it before noon, but, yes.

Madelyn Grayson: Okay, thank you.

President Nix: Thank you, Mike, appreciate the help.

Mike Shoulders: Okay, thank you.

President Nix: The next action item is Roger Lehman. He is here to speak on behalf of the Fortified for Safer Living Proclamation. Mr. Lehman, good afternoon, sir.

Roger Lehman: Good afternoon. Roger Lehman, Building Commissioner, also representing the Disaster Resistant Community Corporation, who is working with the Institute for Business and Home Safety, IBHS, which is referred to in the document. We are working to obtain a grant from an insurance carrier to construct a fortified for safer living in Evansville-Vanderburgh County. This home would be a demonstration model used for educational purposes for both students, contractors, the public on extra things that can be done to make your home safer from wind, from earthquakes and other hazards. It also will incorporate some green aspects of construction. We kind of put that in our own, because we feel like this is an opportunity to do something that kind of cuts across several layers of interest from potential homebuilders, both the ones who construct the homes, and the ones who are going to be purchasing them to live in. Part of our push to get this grant is to get the city and county to agree in concept with the IBHS philosophies on encouraging safer construction, encouraging protection of our citizens. Of course, those things are in the best interest of both the city and the county executive branches. So, with that, we would, I would ask that the Commissioners consider approving this resolution. It doesn’t bind us financially to anything, it just does indicate that the county is interested in its citizens being safer, and that this project that IBHS is working on with us is a way of demonstrating that to the whole community.

President Nix: Roger, on behalf of the Commission and the other hat I wear also, I want to thank you for the time that you’ve put into this thing to make this work. I know you’ve worked hard and spent a lot of hours, and I think it’s a very, very good thing that we do. So, Commissioner Tornatta, do you have the proclamation?

Commissioner Tornatta: I do. Proclamation Fortified for Safer Living:

“Whereas, the County of Vanderburgh wishes to grow and become a better place to live, work, raise a family, and conduct business, and; Whereas, helping the county’s home and businesses better resist natural disasters, such as tornadoes and earthquakes is fundamental in achieving that goal, and; Whereas, Vanderburgh is a County with a commitment to this principle, and was recognized as such by the Nonprofit Institute of Business and Home Safety as its first showcase community, and; Whereas, Evansville and Vanderburgh County, in conjunction with Posey, Warrick, Gibson and Spencer Counties make up the Southwestern Indiana Disaster Resistant Community Corporation, the first FEMA Project Impact Community in the State of Indiana, and; Whereas, using its own resources and those available through partnerships with various public and private organizations, the County desires to build on these achievements and serve as a model for other local governments. Therefore, be it proclaimed that the County of Vanderburgh does hereby pledge to support programs and services to help protect homes and families against natural disasters and keep businesses open and preserve jobs following these events.”

President Nix: Is that in the form of a motion?

Commissioner Tornatta: It is.

Commissioner Korb: Second.

President Nix: All in favor?

All Commissioners: Aye.

President Nix: Opposed same sign. Thank you.

Roger Lehman: Thank you all very much.

President Nix: Appreciate your time.

Roger Lehman: Okay.

President Nix: The next action item is Steve Craig from Burdette Park is here to discuss the USI bike path update. Good afternoon, Mr. Craig.

Steve Craig: Good afternoon, Commissioners. We’re going to have the ribbon cutting for the Burdette Park-USI pedestrian bike and nature trail, and it will be on Friday, November 2^nd at 10:00 at the Burdette Park trail head. It is located due north of the Discovery Lodge at the park at the entrance of the campground. The trail is getting it’s finishing touches, and it’s ready for the ribbon cutting. It’s point six mile of beautiful, sculptured trail through an old growth logs and trees and timber at the park. It is very unique in the concept that we’re building it through existing forest and not putting it around other structures. It will go to USI, and it’s the first phase of the trail system that will connect Vanderburgh County with USI and the New Discovery Bicycle Trail that was recently installed last year. I want to invite everybody in the tri-state to attend and to see what a truly unique and beautiful trail that the Burdette Park-USI Southern Indiana pedestrian hiking and nature trail really is. I would like to invite everybody to come out Friday morning, November 2^nd for the ribbon cutting at 10:00. It’s really a unique trail, and I think everybody will appreciate it. One more thing I have is that I had presented to the Commissioners an application to the National Recreation Trail, and I would seek their signature on it so that we can apply for this. This would put us on the National Recreation Trail website. When we apply for other monies, and apply for information about trails, our trail will be on their website nationally. At this time I wish that the Commissioners could sign this, and then I could get it sent away so that we can start having this exposure.

President Nix: I believe we’ll need that in the form of a motion.

Commissioner Tornatta: Motion to approve.

Commissioner Korb: Second.

President Nix: All in favor?

All Commissioners: Aye.

President Nix: Thank you. Mr. Craig, did you want to discuss the tree memorial?

Steve Craig: Yes, also, I guess, on November 1^st , the day before the ribbon cutting for the trail, we have a tree memorial that we’ve started at the park, and it’s going to help replace the trees that was removed from the woods when we did the trail, and over the years the trees we’ve lost at the park. This is a unique concept, people can put a tree out at Burdette, and it will be in their name. They will be able to purchase it. You can get on our website, it’s got all the facts and figures. I don’t know if I can get them all right, right now, but you can get on the website either attached to the Fox website, and it will put you to ours, or to the Burdette. It’s an opportunity that you can plant a tree and your family can watch it grow, your kids can watch it grow. It also helps save Vanderburgh County money in the sense that these trees are not being purchased, but they’re going to be planted at the park. If you’ve got any other questions, I can answer them.

President Nix: I’m just curious. You’ve had quite a few families and individuals put, bring trees to you to plant, or have you picked them up? Or however that process is done, are you going to send a mailing out to those families that have participated in this already? Or has that taken place already?

Steve Craig: Yeah, at the present time, we have all of them listed and the trees that they have purchased and we have planted in the park. We have a list and we’re in the process of sending them an invitation at the present time to attend the tree memorial cutting. We will have a journal, first of all, that will have them all marked, and then we want to have them on the GPS system where they will be able to look it up and be able to find their tree in the park. They can look them up that way. I know kids will get into that, but, you know, they can also come out to the park and find it. Some people have just planted trees and don’t want them marked or anything. You can get a plaque put at the bottom of your tree. We’re going to, we have that set up with Tri-State Trophy that there’s two types of plaques that we will accept, and you can go down and get a plaque if you would like something in that way to point out that the tree is a memorial for one of your relatives or friends or something.

President Nix: Okay. Thank you. Questions? Thanks, Steve.

Steve Craig: Thank you.

President Nix: The next item is permission to award APA-015-2008. This is traffic signs. I believe Ms. Spalding is here today to speak to that. Good afternoon, or, yes, good afternoon again.

Debbie Spalding: Good afternoon. You have in front of you the bid tabulation. The traffic signs and road materials were sent out, advertised September 19^th and the 26^th , and the bids were opened on October the 4^th at the Board of Public Works meeting. We’re requesting that this contract be awarded to two vendors. All the four vendors that responded said that they would accept a portion of the bid. Most of the aluminum sign blanks would be with Vulcan Signs, and then the various road materials would be between Vulcan Signs and 3M Company. Not all vendors bid on all the items. So, it was necessary for us to allow two vendors. So, our recommendation would be awarding the traffic signs and road materials to Vulcan Signs and 3M Company.

Commissioner Tornatta: Upon the recommendation of the Purchasing Department, I would like to approve the traffic signs and road materials.

Commissioner Korb: Second.

President Nix: All in favor?

All Commissioners: Aye.

Debbie Spalding: Thank you.

President Nix: Thank you.

President Nix: The next action item is VC07-10-01. This is St. Joe Avenue bridge number 1924 installation. I believe Mr. Stoll is here today to address this. Good afternoon.

John Stoll: Good afternoon. I would request that you would award that contract to CCC of Evansville for the amount of $77,535.27. They provided the low bid on the project.

Commissioner Tornatta: Motion to accept.

Commissioner Korb: Second.

President Nix: All in favor?

All Commissioners: Aye.

President Nix: Opposed same sign. Thank you.

John Stoll: Thanks.

President Nix: The next action item is the second and final reading of ordinance CO.10-07-013. This is the sex or violent offender fees, establishment of administrative funds. We heard the first reading on this last week. Is there any public comment on this ordinance? Seeing none. Questions from the Commission?

Commissioner Korb: None. Motion to approve.

Commissioner Tornatta: Second.

President Nix: All in favor?

All Commissioners: Aye.

President Nix: Opposed same sign. This will require a roll call vote. Commissioner Tornatta?

Commissioner Tornatta: Yes.

President Nix: Commissioner Korb?

Commissioner Korb: Yes.

President Nix: And I vote yes. It passes.

President Nix: The next action item is contracts, agreements and leases. Mr. Ziemer, good afternoon.

Ted C. Ziemer, Jr.: Good afternoon. I think, John, I’ll let you come up and make the presentation on the Armstrong contract.

John Stoll: We’ve got a supplemental agreement on the Burkhardt-Virginia intersection project. This is being designed by R.W. Armstrong. The supplemental agreement is for an amount of $34,845. The supplemental agreement will cover the right-of-way engineering which will give us the legal descriptions for the parcels affected by the project. It also covers some design changes to deal with the right turn lane at Burkhardt and Columbia. It also deals with cost adjustments associated with the project being on hold for roughly two years while the Burkhardt-Lloyd interchange project was being evaluated. The County Attorney has reviewed it, and they’ve made the changes that were requested.

Ted C. Ziemer, Jr.: John, I think you have the signed agreements, do you? You’ve already given them to Madelyn? And the insurance certificate?

John Stoll: I received that too.

Ted C. Ziemer, Jr.: And Madelyn has that?

John Stoll: I’ve got that, but I can get her a copy.

Ted C. Ziemer, Jr.: Okay, good. Thank you.

President Nix: Questions from the Commission?

Commissioner Korb: John, is this just what happens when we wait two years to do a project like this?

John Stoll: Basically, yes.

Commissioner Korb: Okay.

John Stoll: This was put on hold on the county’s end. It was through no fault of the designer that the project was delayed. The reason for the delay was INDOT was looking at the interchange at Burkhardt and Lloyd.

Commissioner Korb: Right.

John Stoll: Depending on how that project was done, if they closed off the access points on the north side of Lloyd it would have substantially increased the amount of traffic that would go through Burkhardt and Virginia. If that was done, then we would have had to have gone back and change the scope of work to deal with all that extra traffic. Since it’s not being done, it’s reverted back to, basically the original scope, but there was a substantial delay. Like I said, it wasn’t because the consultant didn’t perform, it was we put them on hold.

Commissioner Korb: Do you see the State coming back and saying, oh, sorry, we’re going to go ahead and close this access anyway?

John Stoll: At this point I think the project’s on hold indefinitely.

Commissioner Korb: Okay.

John Stoll: They’re supposed to be looking at a corridor study of Lloyd from, I believe, 41 all the way out into Warrick County. Until that’s done, I don’t think they’ll have a game plan on what they intend to do. The last I heard this interchange was taken out of their ten year plan.

Commissioner Korb: Okay.

John Stoll: So, nothing on the immediate horizon is going to change out there on the Lloyd.

Commissioner Korb: So, you’re comfortable with moving forward then?

John Stoll: Yes.

Commissioner Korb: Okay. Great.

Commissioner Tornatta: Motion to approve.

Commissioner Korb: Second.

President Nix: All in favor?

All Commissioners: Aye.

President Nix: Opposed same sign. Thank you. The next item is the Health Department 2008 AIDS prevention grant agreement.

Ted C. Ziemer, Jr.: Yes, sir. This is a new grant agreement for $119,760, which may vary, up or down, by ten percent, depending upon the necessity of those funds to meet the purposes of the grant. It would be administered by the Vanderburgh County Department of Health, and it will run for the period from January 1, ‘08 through December 31^st, ‘08. It is satisfactory for execution from a legal perspective.

Commissioner Tornatta: Motion to approve.

Commissioner Korb: Second.

Ted C. Ziemer, Jr.: The next agreement is–

President Nix: Hang on a second. All in favor?

All Commissioners: Aye.

President Nix: Opposed same sign. Thank you.

Ted C. Ziemer, Jr.: The next agreement is also a grant for the Health Department for sexually transmitted disease intervention. This is actually an amendment to an existing grant. It extends the amount of the grant by $69,910, to a total of $144,092, with a $69,910 of that amount to be spent for the period of January 1, ‘08 to December 31^st, ‘08. It is satisfactory for execution from a legal perspective.

Commissioner Tornatta: Motion to accept.

Commissioner Korb: Second.

President Nix: All in favor?

All Commissioners: Aye.

President Nix: Opposed same sign. Thank you.

Ted C. Ziemer, Jr.: The next agreement is a renewal of the lease, this is the 15^th addendum to the lease of space for Weights and Measures in the Executive Inn. The addendum is identical to last year’s. It will extend the period of the lease by one year to December 31, 2008. It increases rent from $5,600 a year to $5,700 per year, or $466.67 a month to $475 a month.

Commissioner Tornatta: On behalf of Loretta Townsend, a motion to approve.

Commissioner Korb: Second.

President Nix: All in favor?

All Commissioners: Aye.

President Nix: Opposed same sign. Thank you.

Ted C. Ziemer, Jr.: The next agreement is for enhanced 911 service with American Telephone and Telegraph Company, between the County and AT&T for enhanced 911 service for the Central Dispatch Board. I’ve sent the Commissioners a two and a half page e-mail on this, but let me summarize by saying that one of my initial concerns about....the agreement is for $2,289,175. One of my concerns initially was whether or not we would be required to seek requests for proposals for this particular hardware and software. On examining, well, on discussing this with Jo Anne Smith, the Director of the Central Dispatch Board, and Craig Bennett, who is an agent for AT&T, I learned that there are really only three entities that could make this service available to the Central Dispatch Board, and they would be AT&T, Verizon and Sprint/Embarq. Neither Verizon nor Sprint/Embarq have the number of lines in Vanderburgh County that AT&T has, so, plus their routers are located distant from Vanderburgh County, Indiana, so, it’s thought that they would have difficulty providing this service in Vanderburgh County. In addition, we have an e-mail from Verizon recommending that we use AT&T, which I thought was something we probably ought to frame. So, I am satisfied that given the specifications for this service, on the part of the Central Dispatch Board, that there really is only one provider for these services in Vanderburgh County, and that would be AT&T. So, I have no concern about there not being, about not seeking requests for proposals. There was a prior agreement for an eight year period starting in 1999, which had a price tag of $1,475,000. This particular agreement is for ten years and would be $2,289,000, but $250,000 of that difference is due to the fact that the agreement runs for ten years instead of eight years. Then, there are other differences which I have e-mailed each of you about. There’s an overall hardware/software enhancement in the new agreement that was not provided for in the old agreement. We now have about 130 access lines in Vanderburgh County as opposed to 125,000, 130,000 as opposed to 125,000 eight years ago. Then, of course, there’s been, as we would expect, a general overall price increase over the eight years. So, it seems that the price is, that, you know, that it’s within the applicable standards. We have several options for paying this price. It could be paid in cash, or it can be paid over four different option plans that AT&T provides. I understand that on the recommendation of the Central Dispatch Board, it going to recommend that we use option four, which would be for paying this amount over ten years by payments of approximately $77,000 quarterly during that ten year period. There are sufficient funds accumulated in the 911 fund, which is collected from vendors of land lines and cell phones in this entire county. Those funds are adequate to support that payment. I will say that if at a later time it was determined that we wanted to pay the balance in cash, to do away with the interest that we’re paying, we can do that. AT&T is fully flexible on when it’s paid. It’s just that until it’s paid, we have to pay interest. The interest is at an attractive, really attractive 4.64 percent interest rate, which is based on the current Treasury note rate. The actual final interest rate will be based on the current Treasury note rate as of the date that installation is completed, but that’s going to be just a short period of time, I think. Jo Anne Smith is here. Jo Anne would you like to address this?

President Nix: Ms. Smith, before you speak, if you would, there is also a termination clause in there too. If you could just touch on that please.

Ted C. Ziemer, Jr.: Oh, yes. Certainly. The agreement, as it was presented to us, had a provision in it allowing both AT&T and the County to terminate the agreement on giving 90 days notice to the other party. I was very concerned, then it goes on to say that if the County terminates they have to pay a termination fee. It said nothing about what AT&T would have to do. It seemed to me that if we were spending $2,289,000 with AT&T over a ten year period, we didn’t want them in maybe six months to decide that they want to terminate this agreement. So, I contacted a representative from AT&T and told them that I would not recommend to the Commissioners that they sign this agreement unless they took that language out, which they did. So, it’s now satisfactory.

Commissioner Korb: Ted, that interest rate, it floats?

Ted C. Ziemer, Jr.: It will not float. It will be fixed at whatever the current Treasury note rate is on the date that installation is completed. That will be the interest rate throughout the ten year term.

Commissioner Korb: And it takes approximately how long to install?

Ted C. Ziemer, Jr.: I don’t know.

Commissioner Korb: Jo Anne?

Jo Anne Smith: Completion will be done in the early spring, probably March will be when the completion is done.

Commissioner Korb: Okay.

Jo Anne Smith: They will get the, they will get the phone call from me today, if the contract is signed. They will then start ordering the equipment. The first part of the equipment that will be ordered will be the recording side of it, because we are in a critical state in our recording system right now, and they’re going to start with that. Then, they will start replacing the phone system.

Commissioner Korb: Can you give me, since I’m the one catching up, just a brief overview of what this enhancement will do for your operation?

Jo Anne Smith: First and foremost, it will give us a digital system, which we do not have right now.

Commissioner Korb: Okay.

Jo Anne Smith: If we get a request from a citizen or from an agency for information and they want a recording, we have to give them a cassette tape. We will be able to do that digitally, we will be able to e-mail information that will be accessed through our network to public safety agencies for our system. Our dispatchers have, at their consoles, instant playback, but they have to push a button on that sometimes work and sometimes don’t, because of their age, and there will be a point and click, it will be right off of their computer. The technology is much improved.

Commissioner Korb: You’ve had this equipment currently for how long?

Jo Anne Smith: It was put in, in 1999.

Commissioner Korb: Got it. Okay. Thanks.

President Nix: But, this is not only equipment, but the service itself. I mean, it’s everything.

Commissioner Korb: It’s hardware and software.

Jo Anne Smith: It is the hardware, software and any upgrades that occur with the duration of this contract. We have a monitor that breaks down, AT&T replaces that monitor. If something happens to our recording system, they come and fix it. We have a four hour max response time on our telephone system from anything that, any problems that we have with our phone system. They have a monitoring system that monitors our system all the time, all eleven of our 911 trunks are monitored by AT&T. There are occasions when they call us and say there’s a problem with one of your trunks. They will address everything, hardware and software is provided.

Commissioner Korb: Okay.

Jo Anne Smith: In total.

Commissioner Tornatta: And there’s also call support, a pretty extensive call support, 24 hours seven days a week.

Jo Anne Smith: Yes, 24/7, 365 days. We also called on them in some construction projects that we’ve done, where we’ve had to have them completely move our phone system to a trailer for us to occupy, it was called, it was renovation done. They also handle, if there is a problem with our equipment, we would have a disaster where our, we would have a failure, our calls roll over to Warrick County. We are also looking at a project now where we would like to be able to, they have what is called a command center, which would be, basically, 911 in a box. We’re looking at that in conjunction with this new system. I’m waiting for figures on that now.

Commissioner Korb: Okay.

President Nix: Any other questions? Ms. Smith, thank you.

Jo Anne Smith: Thank you.

Commissioner Korb: Upon recommendation of counsel, I move that we accept this proposal.

Commissioner Tornatta: Second.

President Nix: All in favor?

All Commissioners: Aye.

President Nix: Opposed same sign. Thank you.

Ted C. Ziemer, Jr.: Madelyn, I just want to inquire, you do have two agreements there to be signed? One is the one that selects the options, and the other one is the other agreement? Thank you. The next agreement I have is an agreement between the County and Data Mail, on behalf of the County Auditor and the County Treasurer, or, I guess, on behalf of the County Auditor. This is with regard to postage or their mail handling and postage, folding and so forth in connection with the, what is it in connection with? What is it, Bill? Help me.

President Nix: Homestead rebate checks.

Ted C. Ziemer, Jr.: Homestead rebate checks, thank you. The cost of the agreement is $24,346, of which $17,531 has to be paid as a postage deposit, and the agreement will last during the duration of the mailing, at which time it will be concluded. We find it satisfactory for execution from a legal perspective.

President Nix: If we could hold for a change of tape, please.

(Tape change)

Commissioner Tornatta: Motion to approve.

Commissioner Korb: Second.

President Nix: All in favor?

All Commissioners: Aye.

President Nix: Opposed same sign. Thank you.

Ted C. Ziemer, Jr.: Then, I have a grant proposal form. I understand that this is not a grant yet, it is just a grant proposal, but it’s on behalf of the Vanderburgh County Prosecutor. It would be a continuation grant for the purpose of identification, investigation, arrest, prosecution of drug trafficking organizations and to halt the importation of methamphetamine, cocaine or other marijuana in Vanderburgh and Warrick Counties. The agreement, I mean, the period of the agreement would be one year from January 1, ‘08 to December 31^st, ‘08, and it would be for $238,682, of which $119,341 will be federal money, and $119,341 will be county matching funds. I’ve checked with the Prosecutor’s office and there is an appropriation of the funds available for the county match.

Commissioner Tornatta: Motion to approve.

Commissioner Korb: Second.

President Nix: All in favor?

All Commissioners: Aye.

President Nix: Opposed same sign. Thank you.

Ted C. Ziemer, Jr.: These aren’t on the agenda, but, I have a couple more items, if I may. You’ve received e-mail from me about these. This is a Byrne grant proposal for the Vanderburgh County Day Reporting Drug Court. It’s a continuation of a prior grant. The grant amount is $104,211, with $52,106 of that being from federal funds, and $52,106 of that being from county matching funds. I checked with and the Superior Court indicates that those funds for the matching grant are also available. We’ve had this kind of grant for the last six years. This is the first time it’s been in as large an amount. As it is, it’s satisfactory for execution from a legal perspective.

Commissioner Tornatta: Just real quick on that. Anybody that’s seen the County Day Reporting Drug Court, or been associated with it, the program is really expanding by leaps and bounds. They’ve even had a report that’s come back, and it’s done by an out-of-state firm and really exemplifies how well Vanderburgh County has taken this program and run with it. It looks like we’re going to be setting the bar for those programs throughout the state. I’ve seen as much as $6,600 per individual savings on a, and there’s some different numbers, but, we’re seeing those type of savings ongoing from having somebody incarcerated, and they come out and they’re fully functioning citizens. So, it’s an 18 month program that lasts a lifetime for a lot of these people. Thanks to Judge Trockman for bringing it up, Debbie Mowbray for working it out. Debbie was recognized from the Governor as being an Outstanding Hoosier. So, this program is doing a great job and we just need more of these programs ongoing. So, motion to approve.

Commissioner Korb: So moved.

President Nix: Second. Or, excuse me, all in favor?

All Commissioners: Aye.

President Nix: Opposed same sign.

Ted C. Ziemer, Jr.: Finally, I have an agreement, which I sent you copies of individually for Willow Creek Subdivision. Let me just say by way of background, when developers developing a subdivision there are certain street, road, drainage requirements for the subdivision. The developer is required to file a letter of credit indicating that, or which will really ensure the county that the developer will complete the road and drainage requirements, as pursuant to the specifications. In this particular case, Willow Creek Development Corporation did not complete the required work in Willow Creek Subdivision. That started about, I think, ten years ago, or thereabouts. Since that period of time, the work hasn’t been completed, it’s a difficult thing how to approach these letter of credit deficiencies because if the county is going to undertake to do it itself it would have to bid out the work, and really would be doing the work of a private developer, and probably the cost at that time would exceed the amount of the letter of credit, and the county would end up being responsible for payment of the cost of that, when it really should be at the cost of the deficient developer. So, we’ve struggled with this, but you’ll recall that in the case of MJM Subdivision, an individual stepped forward who, on behalf of the developers was willing to complete the drainage work that was required in that subdivision, and that work has been completed, and the funds have been released, and the contractors have been paid, and that was a very happy result. Here, an individual has agreed to, Earl Harp is his name, has agreed to be the agent for Willow Creek Development Corporation. I will say some prior work has already been done in this subdivision by Jerry David and Weber Excavating Company. That was done in the first couple of months of this year. They would like to have been paid out of the letter of credit, but it’s the policy of the county not to pay anything out of the letter of credit until the drainage and road improvements required to be done are completed. So, they’ve been sitting around unpaid for that period of time. Anyway, Earl Harp is going to stand in for, not stand in, be the agent for Willow Creek Development Corporation to select a contractor who will do the road construction work that is yet to be done in Willow Creek Subdivision. The agreement defines the nature of that work, and that definition was established by John Stoll. If the work is completed, pursuant to those specifications in the agreement, then the county will agree to release the letters of credit and the funds represented by the letters of credit will then be used to pay the contractor who completes the work, plus these other two contractors from work that they did in January and February. The county’s only obligation, under this agreement, will be to release the letter of credit after the work has been completed to the standards set by the agreement and approved by John Stoll. I will point out to the Commissioners that due to the lateness in the season for construction, we’ve added a special provision to this agreement requiring the contractor to meet all INDOT specifications for the weather conditions and so forth regarding the laying of pavement and the like so that it won’t be rushed and laid perhaps when it’s too cold to do it or too wet to do it, and, therefore, not have the best kind of job that we can have. The, I think it’s a good arrangement for the county, and it’s a good arrangement for the citizens of Vanderburgh County because the work will get completed, it will be paid out of the letter of credit. It won’t cost the county any additional funds, and I think it’s a win-win situation for everybody. It’s certainly, since I’ve prepared it, satisfactory for execution from a legal perspective.

Commissioner Tornatta: So moved.

Commissioner Korb: I’m moved.

President Nix: All in favor?

All Commissioners: Aye.

President Nix: Opposed same sign. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Ziemer.

Ted C. Ziemer, Jr.: That’s all I have.

President Nix: Appreciate your help on all of those. I know there’s quite a few lengthy ones there. Let’s see here. Are there any other department head reports? I believe Mr. Stoll is stepping forward here.

John Stoll: First, I’ve got a street acceptance request for MJM Industrial Park. Like Ted had said, the work was done, the street is ready to be accepted. I had inspectors out there and they said everything looked great. As far as the drainage work goes, the only thing they’re waiting on there is for grass to grow, but the street is ready for acceptance. So, I would request that you accept that for maintenance.

Commissioner Tornatta: Motion to accept.

Commissioner Korb: Second.

President Nix: All in favor?

All Commissioners: Aye.

President Nix: Opposed same sign.

Commissioner Korb: Good job, John. Thank you.

John Stoll: Next, I’ve got a letter for the Commissioners signatures to send to INDOT to request the use of concrete pavement on the remainder of University Parkway. According to Bernardin Lochmueller, the preliminary recommendation, or, I shouldn’t say recommendation, requirement from INDOT was that the remainder of the University Parkway project would have asphalt pavement, and, for consistency sake, I thought that we should continue with concrete pavement. As a result of that, Bernardin Lochmueller has drafted a letter requesting INDOT take another look at that. In the letter they point out that they have addressed potential settlement issues, and that there wouldn’t be a concern with using the concrete pavement on the fills that might settle. We’ve seen no problems with the concrete pavement that’s been placed on the first two miles. So, I would request the Commissioners sign that so we can send it on to INDOT.

Commissioner Tornatta: So moved.

Commissioner Korb: Second.

President Nix: All in favor?

All Commissioners: Aye.

President Nix: Opposed same sign. Thank you.

John Stoll: Next, I’ve got some revised right-of-way offers for the University Parkway project. It’s for parcel six and parcel ten. They’re both owned by Ralph Mueller. The revised offer for parcel six is $178,800. That is an increase from $157,400 from the original appraisal done in December of 2006. Then, on parcel ten, the new offer is $60,500. This is an increase from $57,300, and that appraisal was dated October of ‘06. What prompted it was that the, in the negotiations the property owners has pointed out the fact that they felt the appraisals needed updated because they were based on old prices. So, I would request your approval to make these modified offers.

Commissioner Korb: So moved.

Commissioner Tornatta: Second.

President Nix: All in favor?

All Commissioners: Aye.

President Nix: Opposed same sign. Thank you.

John Stoll: Next, I’ve got a modified right-of-way offer on the Green River Road project. This is parcel one owned by Schnepper. The offer amount would be $28,000. This is being done just to split the road right-of-way separate from wetland mitigation right-of-way. So, we can treat the two separately. So, that way, if we can get one of them resolved, then it wouldn’t all have to be condemned. So, we’re hoping none of it would have to be condemned, but, if it does, then we can treat the two issues separately. So, I would request your approval for this modified offer.

Commissioner Korb: So moved.

Commissioner Tornatta: Second.

President Nix: All in favor?

All Commissioners: Aye.

President Nix: Opposed same sign. Thank you.

John Stoll: The last item I have is a letter to send to Sherman Dixie Pipe. This is to order all the box culverts that are needed for the Cross Pointe Boulevard project. There are three sizes of pipe that will be ordered, and at the annual bid price, the grand total is $1,207,854. The reason I’m bringing that to you now is so that way we can get the pipe in production so that way next spring when the contract’s awarded on the project, then the pipe would be ready to go for the contractor. We would just, in the contract, instead of having the contractor provide and install the pipe, we would just get an install only price.

Commissioner Korb: So moved.

Commissioner Tornatta: Second.

President Nix: All in favor?

All Commissioners: Aye.

President Nix: Opposed same sign. Thank you.

John Stoll: That’s all I have.

President Nix: Thank you, Mr. Stoll. Are there any other department heads? Seeing none.

President Nix: I’ve got board appointments here, the Pigeon Creek Greenway.

Commissioner Tornatta: Board appointments would be; Steve Craig, Ann Ennis, Fred Padget, Blaine Oliver and Lester Steinmetz. I would like to make that in the form of a motion.

Commissioner Korb: Second.

President Nix: All in favor?

All Commissioners: Aye.

President Nix: Opposed same sign. Thank you.

President Nix: Is there any new business to come before the board?

Commissioner Korb: No, sir.

President Nix: Seeing none.

President Nix: Is there any old business? I do have a couple of items on there. The Hamilton Golf Course public hearing dates are October the 24^th at 6:00 in the evening at the Centre in the Locust Room. That’s the 24^th of October, which is tomorrow evening, at 6:00 in the Centre at the Locust Room. Then, this Saturday at 10:00 a.m. at Oaklyn Branch Library out on Oak Hill Road. I never can get that right. That’s from 10:00 until approximately 11:30. I would like to see anybody that’s got any interest in the Hamilton Golf Course to please attend these meetings. One of the two, or both of them you’re welcome to. Any other old business? Seeing none.

President Nix: Is there any public comment at this time? Anyone that would like to address the board? Please step forward.

Greg DeVoy: Hello, Commissioners.

President Nix: Good afternoon.

Greg DeVoy: My name is Greg DeVoy. I live on Little Schmuck Road off of Koring. We’ve got a situation there that is getting more dangerous as we go, as we move along in time. I’ve got a couple more residents back there. It’s the corner on Little Schmuck Road. It’s a single lane, gravel road that is maintained by the county. We’ve had a handful of fender benders that haven’t amounted to anything, but we have had one that caused some personal damage to a vehicle. What it is, the residents there, we know to go slow around that corner. If either vehicle is exceeding about ten mile an hour, there’s no place to go, you can’t stop, you can’t move to the right or left of the road, due to ditches, and steep embankments. I understand, the county came out there to, one of the problems is we can’t see around the corner due to trees on the inside of the corner. That being the case, again, the residents know to move slow around that corner, but when we get a disposal truck, or a delivery truck, or a non-resident that comes around that corner a little too fast, the person in the smaller vehicle is definitely going to be the loser there, because it’s a no fault accident. So, the county came out to do some work, and I understand there was a right-of-way issue, as far as doing the work on cleaning the trees off that inside corner. So, I was here to ask, and see if there’s something we can do there to make it safer for us to get around that corner.

President Nix: Mr. DeVoy, you and I spoke on the phone the other day.

Greg DeVoy: Yes, sir.

President Nix: And, it’s my understanding that apparently the county right-of-way is pretty narrow back there. So, the obstacles that are in the way, or the things that are obstructing the view are on private property, is that correct?

Greg DeVoy: Yes.

President Nix: Is that the understanding?

Greg DeVoy: Yes.

President Nix: Okay. Have you spoken to the neighbors about maybe working with the county on some type of, I don’t know if an easement would be in place, or something that we could actually help improve the line of site a little bit on that turn, on that curve there? I didn’t know if that was something that would be possible, work with the–

Greg DeVoy: I have.

President Nix: You have? Okay.

Ted C. Ziemer, Jr.: I’m not sure what you’re asking me about, an easement?

President Nix: Well, it’s my understanding, and, John, I don’t know if you’re familiar with that curve right there? If you could step up. Apparently, the county road is as wide as it normally would be back there, is that correct?

John Stoll: Right, the road has a 12 foot right-of-way, and there’s a six foot maintenance easement on either side of that road. This was all established in a lawsuit that was settled back in 2004. As far as where the site distance obstructions are relative to that six foot easement, I’m not sure, because I haven’t been out there recently. But, if they’re outside that six foot easement, then either a temporary or permanent right-of-way would have to be granted in order to get the county crews out there on that property to clear it out to improve the line of site.

Ted C. Ziemer, Jr.: You’re suggesting that the neighbors grant a temporary easement to the county to do that work?

President Nix: Not necessarily, well, I don’t know if the county, I don’t know if that would even be something we could do. That’s my question. It’s private property, but it’s blocking the view of a county road.

Ted C. Ziemer, Jr.: Oh, I see.

President Nix: The curve of a county road.

Ted C. Ziemer, Jr.: No, I’m sorry, I had the impression that this was in, we were going to be working in the public roadway, but that we would need an easement to get to it. No, I don’t think we can do any work on private property at all.

Greg DeVoy: Okay. Well, I don’t know where to go from there. Just start asking questions. It’s really not, I mean, it’s not even, at times it’s not safe to walk around it.

Commissioner Tornatta: Is there any opportunity to get with some of the neighbors and maybe throw some money in a hat to get somebody to come out there and actually do the work?

Greg DeVoy: I’ll have to talk to the property owners again. There’s one property owner there that, this is his property. So, I’ll have to talk to him about it.

Commissioner Tornatta: We’ve kind of been in a situation several times where we’ve had issues that were off of the county property on private property and those terms, we have to let the private property owners take care of those issues at hand.

Greg DeVoy: I understand. What about guardrails?

John Stoll: I guess, my biggest concern on putting any guardrails up would be if it’s a one lane road then what little shoulder might be there, you would have no opportunity to pull off the road to allow another car to pass, if there’s a guardrail up there. We can take a look at it and see if there is specific locations where it might work, but my gut reaction would be that would be one problem you could introduce.

President Nix: You know, we had a situation similar to this on Hillside some time back, somewhat the same, but maybe a little different.

John Stoll: Right, it was a one lane road. In the end, when that was paved, there were no guardrails that were installed. Part of the problem there too was no right-of-way to install the guardrail. Basically, the guardrail would have been on private property, because there was no documented right-of-way whatsoever to place the guardrail on.

President Nix: The property owners out there though did, in fact, grant additional right-of-way for some of the work that we did, was that correct?

John Stoll: One owner did, yes.

President Nix: Okay.

John Stoll: That was part of the overall road reconstruction rather than just a spot improvement where we did some clearing or anything, I mean, there was some clearing, but it was in conjunction with the road widening.

President Nix: That was kind of a neighborhood effort, I think. Everybody kind of got together and said–

John Stoll: Right.

President Nix: –and said, this is what we want to do. The property owners got with us then, and, I don’t know if maybe that’s something that the person that owns that property might entertain.

Greg DeVoy: I’ll start asking some questions.

President Nix: Okay.

Greg DeVoy: See where we can go from there.

President Nix: Okay.

Greg DeVoy: Thank you for your time.

President Nix: Thank you, Mr. DeVoy. Is there any other public comment? Seeing none.

President Nix: I’ll entertain a motion to approve the consent items.
