Lifesavers Walk Presentation |
President Korb: Action items, the first item is the Lifesavers Walk presentation. Janie Chappell, are you here?
Janie Chappell: I am here.
President Korb: Come on up.
Janie Chappell: Okay.
President Korb: Introduce yourself please to the audience. Believe it or not, people watch this on t.v.
Janie Chappell: Oh, cool.
President Korb: Yes.
Janie Chappell: My name is Janie Chappell. I’m the manager of community services at Deaconess Cross Pointe here in Evansville. I’m also the chairperson of the Southwestern Indiana Suicide Prevention Coalition. Next week is actually suicide prevention and awareness week. Our coalition has planned several activities, one of which is the Lifesavers Walk, however, the Lifesavers Walk is not held until September the 27th, primarily due to the Komen race. We kind of pushed it back a little bit longer, but we do have a couple of other events next week planned for the public; a suicide prevention and awareness training next Tuesday evening that’s free to the public, and next Thursday, at lunch time, we have a suicide prevention awareness program for the clergy. So, I’m just here to talk a little bit about the Lifesavers Walk. In Indiana we are 27th in the nation in terms of our suicide rate. In Vanderburgh County, unfortunately, we are sixth in the state in terms of how high our suicide rate is. The primary at risk group are white males of working age, of which there are several in this room, so, just a little red alert there. The primary means of people dying by suicide is with the use of a firearm, generally one that’s already owned in the home. Our primary mission then for the suicide prevention coalition is to educate and raise awareness on suicide prevention efforts and what you can do if you or someone you know is suicidal. Generally, the first person that somebody will tell if they’re suicidal is a friend, and that includes teenagers. So, our goal is to educate as many people as we possibly can in how to recognize those signs and take them seriously and get that person help. So, that’s pretty much what I have to say, unless, I would be happy to answer any questions.
President Korb: Janie, can you give us some details about the walk? Is it a fundraising walk? Is it an awareness raising walk? What’s your hope there?
Janie Chappell: It’s actually both.
President Korb: Okay.
Janie Chappell: It is for fundraising, but it’s mainly an awareness walk, and also a walking in memory of. One of the things that we find with people who’ve lost loved ones to suicide is they don’t get the opportunity to do traditional types of grieving, because generally the loss is so traumatic and it frightens everybody, there’s a lot of stigma attached to mental illness and suicide. So, they often don’t get to commemorate their loved ones in the normal grieving process. So, this provides a little bit of an opportunity for people to do that. So, families will pull teams together, where they can walk in memory of their loved one, and we do some commemorative types of activities. The fundraising aspect of the program is to help train trainers to go out and teach other people about suicide prevention. So, it’s a three pronged attack in terms of terms of a fundraiser, raising awareness, and then a way for family members to commemorate their loved one.
President Korb: Do you all have a phone bank, a volunteer phone bank that you use for, you know, the Suicide Hot Line, or anything like that?
Janie Chappell: There are several different numbers that we publish, but there is a crisis line for the Youth Service Bureau, who we primarily funnel our calls through for that. I don’t have that number on me. I could certainly get it for you.
President Korb: That’s fine.
Janie Chappell: I did bring a work, excuse me, our flyers for our walk, if you’re interested.
President Korb: Great.
Janie Chappell: I’ll be expecting you all to sign up.
President Korb: Sure.
Janie Chappell: So, I’ll be watching.
President Korb: The cost is how much?
Janie Chappell: Twenty dollars.
President Korb: And, do we get a t-shirt out of the deal?
Janie Chappell: You get a t-shirt out of the deal.
President Korb: Great.
Janie Chappell: And, the satisfaction of knowing you’ve furthered the effort of suicide prevention in our community.
President Korb: And, the dates one more time for the walk are?
Janie Chappell: September the 27th. It’s at the Evansville State Hospital. Registration starts at 8:00, and the walk actually begins about 9:00.
President Korb: How far are you going to make us walk?
Janie Chappell: Not quite a mile.
President Korb: That’s okay.
Janie Chappell: So, if you want to go very far—
President Korb: That’s okay.
Janie Chappell: –you’re going to have to go around several times.
President Korb: That works, just don’t make it like a marathon thing.
Janie Chappell: No, it’s only a mile.
President Korb: Great. Commissioners? Anybody else?
Commissioner Nix: Yeah, it says southwestern Indiana, how big an area do you cover? Because these meetings are televised and to get the word out to people beyond Vanderburgh County.
Janie Chappell: We have people that are members of our commission from Dubois County, Warrick County, Gibson County, there are several of us who have agencies that are in all of our surrounding counties. So, pretty much, I would say about a hundred mile radius.
Commissioner Tornatta: Janie, you said we were sixth in the state?
Janie Chappell: Uh-huh.
Commissioner Tornatta: Is that Vanderburgh County, or is that the southwestern?
Janie Chappell: That’s Vanderburgh County only. There are studies that list the suicide rates by county. The only ones that are ahead of us are Knox County, interestingly, which is pretty close to us is higher than we are, Green County, of which Bloomfield is the county seat, Delaware County, where Muncie is, I believe Clinton County, so, we are actually pretty much the largest metropolis type of county in terms of how high our suicide rate is. It’s been that way since at least 2001.
Commissioner Tornatta: And, about what is a yearly number in suicides?
Janie Chappell: Last year we had 40, which was a record number. It was a record high. The year before that we had 29, and the year prior it was 30. We had had a little bit of a lower rate this year, but through, in July, it took a pretty significant jump, and I think July of last year we were at 26, and July of this year we are at 23. So, we’re kind of catching up with ourselves, so to speak, which isn’t a good thing. The other thing that we’ve tried to do is we’ve formed a suicide review board, which is similar to the perinatal review board that reviews all infant deaths, to try and determine what that’s about, and to make some recommendations. We’ve been, just been doing that, along with the County Coroner’s office, for the last six months. So, we’ve really only had two meetings. We’re doing it quarterly, to try and review those cases and see if there’s any similarities that we might be able to pick up that we could do some further education efforts with. But, I don’t have any hard and fast data, necessarily. The hand gun, excuse me, the firearm is one pretty common thing that we’ve read, that we see. The other is relationship issues. A third thing that we see is alcohol and drug use is very high related to suicide. So, those three issues are particularly big.
President Korb: That is the Lifesaving Walk, suicide prevention, it’s going to be held on Saturday, September the 27th, and starts at 8:00 a.m. in the morning, and the cost is twenty dollars. We hope that you come and walk, for those of you that are watching. Janie, is there anything else that you would like to share with us this evening?
Janie Chappell: I don’t think. Thank you for allowing me to come and talk about it.
President Korb: Absolutely.
Janie Chappell: I appreciate it.
President Korb: Thanks for coming. Appreciate it.
Janie Chappell: Thank you.
President Korb: Appreciate it.
LEPC Hazardous Materials Awareness Week Proclamation |
President Korb: Next on our item is a proclamation for the Hazardous Materials Awareness Week. I have that in front of me. It goes like this:
“On behalf of the citizens of Vanderburgh County, we, Jeff Korb, Bill Nix, and Troy Tornatta, County Commissioners, hereby proclaim Saturday, September 5-12, 2008 as Hazardous Material and Chemical Awareness Week, sponsored by the Local Emergency Planning Committee. Whereas, citizens of Vanderburgh County need to be conscious of the role that chemicals play in their daily lives, the benefits and hazards posed to our families, especially our children, and the ways to prevent possible harm; and, Whereas, all citizens have a right to know of the types, locations, hazards and quantities of reportable hazardous materials and chemicals within our community and to know proper procedures to take in case of an accident or emergency; and, Whereas, better communication between local emergency planning committees and local businesses, industries, retail, services and farming sectors is necessary to increase the involvement of off-site emergency planning for hazardous materials accidents; and, Whereas, first responders, such as firefighters, law enforcement, and emergency medical services personnel, must be informed of reportable types and amounts of hazardous materials and chemicals that are present within our community and must be properly trained to safely respond in the event of an accident or emergency; and, Whereas, the Local Emergency Planning Committees, LEPC, must become knowledgeable and thus also raise the understanding of the citizens they serve about the manufactured chemicals used or sold in the factories, companies, retail stores and farms in their areas; and, Whereas, it is essential for local governments and the Local Emergency Planning Committees to help prevent the accidental release of hazardous materials to prepare plans for responding to accidental releases, and to implement programs to protect the well being of all citizens and visitors to this area; and now therefore be it, Resolved, that we, Jeff Korb, Bill Nix, and Troy Tornatta, do hereby proclaim September 5-12, 2008 as Hazardous Material and Chemical Awareness Week in Vanderburgh County as a means to support the goal of working cooperatively together to effectively address the concerns of local communities and plan for a safer future in Vanderburgh County. Dated this the second day of September, 2008.”
Commissioner Tornatta: Motion to approve.
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. I see Sherman Greer back there. Sherman, is there anything you would like to say about this?
Sherman Greer: The chairman of the LEPC is right there, Dwayne Caldwell.
Commissioner Tornatta: There you go.
President Korb: Great, come on up, Dwayne, and introduce yourself, if you would, please.
Dwayne Caldwell: Alrighty. My name is Dwayne Caldwell. I’m the chairman of the Vanderburgh County Emergency Planning Committee. Just a brief background on this, the LEPC is a state committee which is manned by county employees, which is mandated by federal law. You can’t get anymore ecumenical than that, now can you? Basically, after the Bhopal, India accident way back a long time ago, nearly twenty years now, where approximately 5,300 people died due to a release of a chemical from a plant, Congress decided that the American people needed to be more prepared. They created the Local Emergency Planning Committees to collect information from businesses, to disseminate that information to the people, and to form plans that will help us to respond to protect those people should anything go wrong. We mail information on sheltering in place, which is our main goal, that people find out about this week. During a survey a couple of years ago we found out that several people have a plan of what to do if there’s a tornado, a few more have a plan of what to do if there’s an earthquake, but hardly anyone had a plan as to what they were going to do if there was a hazardous materials release. That, despite the fact, that at last count Vanderburgh County had 88 facilities with 10,000 pounds or more of hazardous materials on site, plus all the pipelines that run through the county, plus the roads and highways and streets that are traveled by large tanker trucks everyday, and air traffic as well, are opportunities to have a very bad incident, unfortunately, are very good. So, we appreciate you guys helping us out by making this proclamation, and we also have some information on how to keep ourselves safe. I’ll entertain any questions you might have.
President Korb: Great. Thank you. Commissioners? Seeing none, we just want to say thank you for coming.
Dwayne Caldwell: Fair enough.
The Centre Update |
President Korb: The next item on the action item list tonight is the Centre update with Darren Stearns and Todd Denk. Good evening, Darren. How are you?
Darren Stearns: Good evening. How are you?
President Korb: Great.
Darren Stearns: Darren Stearns, Assistant General Manager with SMG. We just wanted to come to the Commissioners tonight and give a report over the first six months of the Centre’s year, and the coming six months of what’s going to be happening. Every event that we have at the Centre an event survey is sent out, which gives us feedback on personal attention, knowledge of staff, catering options and service, the operations of the building, the facility space, and the overall experience. The scoring is from one to five, and the average score that we have, at this point, through the first six months, was 4.42, with one being poor and five being excellent on the scale. The Centre has hosted 108 events, in 151 event days through the end of June, with just under 80,000 people coming through the doors. Revenues for the first six months of 2008 are at 91 percent of budget. The fall months are usually the highest grossing months for the Centre, so, we’re looking forward to that. The Old Courthouse Ballroom, which started bookings in March, we have 18 bookings for 2008 already, with five bookings and nine room holds already in 2009. The carpeting has been replaced in the meeting rooms in the auditorium, along with the pre-function areas that surround them. The new LCD monitors and software are now in place, the training is taking place this week so that all the meeting rooms have a monitor that we can break out all of our break out sessions in and we can get rid of the white boards. We had most of them done, we’ve got the rest of them done now. Also, it saves us on our web hosting fees. We had a web hosting fee site and technical support monthly payments that we no longer have with this new system. The 2008-2009 Broadway season has been finalized. Irving Berlin’s, I Love A Piano, Ain’t Misbehavin’, which features Ruben Studdard from American Idol and Frenchie Davis, Oliver, Bye, Bye Birdie, Rain, The Beatles Experience, The Drowsy Chaperone, and Cats. That’s the season for 2008-2009. The season is on sale now, and the first show is in October. The Centre has hosted six concerts, or family shows in the first six months, with numerous dance recitals and six trade shows. That’s besides the banquets and the fundraisers and the wedding receptions that we normally do. In the coming months we have eight concerts on the books, two cheerleading events, and at least three trade shows, possibly four, we’ll find out about that one next week. Then, lastly, in December we’re going to end up this year with something that’s pretty exciting to us. The Centre will be hosting in Evansville, will be hosting the Indiana Farm Bureau Convention, with an estimated 500 to 600 room nights. This is the first time this convention has ever left Indianapolis. So, the first time they’re moving somewhere it’s going to be Evansville. So, we’re pretty excited about the prospects of that, and look forward to hosting them here in December.
President Korb: Todd, are the, I mean, Todd? Darren, are the trade shows up for the year? I mean, six sounds more than what we’ve had in the past, or is that about the same?
Darren Stearns: It’s actually up through the first six months about two shows.
President Korb: Okay.
Darren Stearns: We’ve got a few more food shows that go into that trade show than we had in the past.
President Korb: Okay, and you may not have the answer to this, because you’re basically just the booking agent, but the floor at the Old Courthouse, we had some issues with that. Do you know, are we fixing that? We are? Okay.
Darren Stearns: That’s what I was told the day that there was, I guess, some different options that were being pursued on that, for the upcoming events. The bookings are going real well, as far as getting through the events. We’ll have one event per weekend right now–
President Korb: Wow!
Darren Stearns: –because of the resetting of the event, we can’t really do a Friday and then a Saturday. But, we will usually book one or the other. So, there, it’s hot and heavy down there right now, actually.
President Korb: Good.
Commissioner Nix: Just an FYI on the floor, we’re looking at just basically a big rug in there, it will be hemmed on the edge, and it will, they’re, I guess, we’re in the process right now of getting the colors and all that picked out, which I’m not going to have a part of, thank goodness.
President Korb: Because we know you’re color blind.
Commissioner Nix: That’s right.
President Korb: We love you, but, okay. For those of you that are watching, we have had a couple of events there, and there were some dents put in the floor by supposedly high heels and shoes. So, we’re in the process of addressing that.
Darren Stearns: Right.
President Korb: Great, great job. Any other questions of Darren?
Darren Stearns: Okay.
President Korb: Thanks, Darren. Appreciate it.
Darren Stearns: Thank you.
President Korb: Thanks, Todd for coming.
Permission to Advertise Rule 13 Renewal Public Notice |
President Korb: Next on the action item list is permission to advertise Rule 13 renewal of public notice. I need a motion to approve please.
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.
Permission to Advertise Notice of Public Hearing Concerning New Property Tax Billing System |
President Korb: The next item is permission to advertise notice of a public hearing concerning the new property tax billing system. I need a motion to approve, please.
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.
Tax Sale Title Search Quote Update |
President Korb: Next we have the tax sale title search quote update. Ted, would you please enlighten us on that?
Ted C. Ziemer, Jr.: Certainly. We will have, for the tax title sale this year, 285 properties. As is traditional, to accomplish this, we have to obtain title searches for each of those properties. We’ve received quotes from Evansville Titles, who would do it for $290 a property; Bosse Title, who would do it for $225 a property; Southwestern Land Title, who would do it for between $225 and $250 per property, that is it would vary depending on the property, I guess; Bowers Harrison who did all the title searches last year when the number was substantially less than 285. What was it, Bill, 110?
President Korb: 130.
Ted C. Ziemer, Jr.: 130 last year. They would be $225 per property, and then Total Title Search Company would agree to do it for $125 per property. The bidders, or the quoters, however, indicated that, except for Bosse Title, none of them would be able to do all of the title searches within the 90 day period in which they have to be accomplished. Bowers Harrison indicated that they could do them for, they would, they could do half of them. Bosse Title said they could do all of them, but their bid is $225 a property, which is the same as Bowers Harrison’s, and we have experience with Bowers Harrison. Then we have Total Title, who said they would do it for $125 per property. Our recommendation is then, since no one other than Bosse could do it for, do all of the 285 properties, our recommendation would be that we accept the quote of Bowers Harrison to do one half of the properties at $225 per property, and the quote of Total Title search to do one half of the searches for $125 per property. Bosse Title is the same as Bowers Harrison, but we’ve had experience with Bowers Harrison and the quotes are identical. So, anyway, that’s the basis for our recommendation.
Commissioner Tornatta: Okay, and just real quick, now the recommendation from the office was to split the other half between Bowers Harrison and Bosse Title. Or was it not?
Ted C. Ziemer, Jr.: I don’t know what office you mean.
Commissioner Tornatta: Well, I mean, I just got it from your office.
Ted C. Ziemer, Jr.: Not–
Commissioner Tornatta: It said, it’s our recommendation that half the properties–
Ted C. Ziemer, Jr.: Oh, I’m sorry. Yes, I’m sorry. I was reading this wrong. We want half of the properties to be divided between Bowers Harrison and Bosse Title. We could give it all to Bosse Title, but Bowers Harrison we have experience with and they’ve done it in the past. We could give it all to Bowers Harrison, because the bids are identical between Bowers Harrison and Bosse. So, yes, we recommend that one half of them be given to, be split between Bowers Harrison and Bosse, or one fourth for each, and then one half be given to Total Title since their bid per property is a hundred dollars less than the bids of Bosse and–
Commissioner Tornatta: Now, at this point do we, are they all going to do the property searches for $125?
Ted C. Ziemer, Jr.: No. The–
Commissioner Tornatta: Okay.
Ted C. Ziemer, Jr.: Total Title says they can’t do 100 percent–
Commissioner Tornatta: Do all of them.
Ted C. Ziemer, Jr.: –they said they could do half of them in the 90 day time period that we have.
Commissioner Tornatta: Okay.
Ted C. Ziemer, Jr.: So, we felt that certainly we should use Total Title for as many as they could, since their bid is a hundred dollars less per property. After that we have two bidders who are identical and that’s Bosse and Bowers Harrison, and we suggest that we split it between those two.
Commissioner Tornatta: Okay, and there was a bond associated with this, or not?
Ted C. Ziemer, Jr.: There is not.
Commissioner Tornatta: A performance bond.
Ted C. Ziemer, Jr.: No.
Commissioner Tornatta: Okay. What do we do in the event, if Total Title, we have no relationship at this point, what do we do if they don’t meet up to what we need in 90 days?
Ted C. Ziemer, Jr.: Sue them.
Commissioner Tornatta: Okay. Thank you very much.
Bill Fluty: Just one comment, Ted, I think we have to send out notifications before 90 days. So, we would need those, I guess, title searches done, I’m sure we–
Ted C. Ziemer, Jr.: Bill, as you know, you worked with Kathryn Schymik in our office on this, but the basic period within which the search has to be done is 90 days. It may be 87 days, I don’t know exactly what that notice time is, but none of them can get it done within the specified period to do all, except Bosse Title could. Bosse Title has said we could do all 285 searches within that period, however, their bid is $225 per property, $100 more than the bid of Total Title.
Bill Fluty: Well, just a reminder that if they hand all two, whatever, at 90 days, we don’t have time to get the notification out on time. So, we need something earlier than 90 days.
Ted C. Ziemer, Jr.: Yeah, okay, whatever the number of days are, and they can meet that–
Bill Fluty: Probably two weeks before that.
Ted C. Ziemer, Jr.: What?
Bill Fluty: We’ll probably need two weeks before the 90 days. If they are received in our office, we will be able to get the notifications out.
Ted C. Ziemer, Jr.: That’s not a problem.
Bill Fluty: That’s what I wanted to hear.
Ted C. Ziemer, Jr.: Well, except that I’m a little at a disadvantage sitting here at the meeting, because I assumed that that had been worked out actually between Joe and Kathryn in arriving at this. So, let me change it and say, for the period of time within which we need these title searches, Bosse could do all of them within that period of time for $100 more per title search than Total Title is willing to do it. So, we felt that we certainly wanted to have Total Title do as many of them as possible, since it saves the county $100 per title search.
Commissioner Tornatta: Okay, and would it be possible, if we talked to Total Title, and they did not think they could accomplish this in the amount of time, their portion, in lieu of them being in litigation, would we then look to Bosse and to Bowers just to split it in half? I don’t know if we have time to come back to another meeting to talk about that. So, maybe we talk about that today. Because I don’t know.
Ted C. Ziemer, Jr.: I can tell you that our firm has used Total Title to do other searches in connection with Black Beauty Coal Company and other matters. They’re a capable title company.
Commissioner Tornatta: Okay.
Ted C. Ziemer, Jr.: They can do their job. I don’t think there’s, you ask that question, and I don’t see, I have no reason to believe that they will not get the work done within the time that they’re supposed to do it.
Commissioner Tornatta: Okay.
President Korb: So, you’ve had experience with them from a performance standpoint?
Commissioner Tornatta: Okay, that’s what I’m asking about.
Ted C. Ziemer, Jr.: In other non-county related matters, yes.
Commissioner Tornatta: Okay, okay. I make a motion to let Total Title do half of the title work for the property search, and split the other half between Bosse Title and Bowers Harrison.
Commissioner Nix: Second.
President Korb: So, we’re looking at 50 percent to Total Title, 25 percent to Bosse, and 25 percent to Bowers Harrison?
Ted C. Ziemer, Jr.: Exactly.
President Korb: Great.
Ted C. Ziemer, Jr.: With the fees of Bosse and Harrison to be–
Commissioner Tornatta: With Total Title doing it for $125 per property.
Ted C. Ziemer, Jr.: –$225 and Total Title at $125.
President Korb: So, we have a motion on the floor, we have a second, discussion? Hearing none. All those in favor say aye.
All Commissioners: Aye.
President Korb: Opposed same sign. The motion passes.
Prosecutor: Meth Check License Agreement (Deferred) Health Dept.: Breastfeeding Peer Counselor Agreement: C. Mehringer Health Dept.: Lieberman Technologies HIPPA Business Agreement Emergency Management Agency: Performance Grant Sheriff: DOC Community Corrections Grant Amendment No. 3 |
President Korb: The next item is contracts, agreements and leases. The Prosecutor Meth Check license agreement.
Ted C. Ziemer, Jr.: We would like to recommend that that be taken off the agenda. We have been in contact with the other party and made two recommendations for changes in the contract; one regarding the automatic renewal of the contract from year to year without making any provision for appropriation of funds, and second, to revise the indemnity provision of the contract. They have not gotten back to us with regard to either of those. So, in our opinion, it’s not ready to be approved.
President Korb: Great. We’ll just table that until the next meeting. The next item is the contract, agreement and lease for the Health Department with regards to breastfeeding peer counselor contract with Chrystal Mehringer. The breastfeeding peer counselor contract between the county on behalf of the County Health Department WIC program and Chrystal Mehringer. Per the contract, Ms. Mehringer will provide counselor services. The contract is identical to the one entered into on May 2008 with Latisha Minor.
Commissioner Tornatta: Motion to approve.
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. The next item is also with the Health Department, it’s a software agreement with Lieberman Technologies. It’s an agreement between the Vanderburgh County Health Department and Lieberman Technologies for their HIPPA release form.
Ted C. Ziemer, Jr.: Let me just comment that–
President Korb: Sure.
Ted C. Ziemer, Jr.: –it’s really incorrectly described as a software agreement. It’s an agreement required by HIPPA regarding confidentiality, and we enter, the Health, customarily enter into agreements like this with agencies providing services for the Health Department in order to meet the HIPPA requirements. That’s what this agreement would do, if approved by the Commissioners.
President Korb: Great.
Commissioner Tornatta: Motion to approve.
Commissioner Nix: Second.
President Korb: Discussion? Hearing none, all those in favor say aye.
All Commissioners: Aye.
President Korb: Opposed, yeah, opposed same sign. The motion passes. The next one is the Emergency Management performance grant. It’s an Emergency Management performance grant sub-grant agreement to be executed by the County. This grant is to reimburse the County Commissioners for a portion of salaries paid to the EMA staff from October 1, 2006 through September 30, 2007, plus 13 percent of this amount for indirect costs. However, such amount is not to exceed $77,553.40. I need a motion please.
Commissioner Tornatta: So moved.
Commissioner Nix: Second.
President Korb: All those in favor say aye.
Commissioner Tornatta: I just had a question on it.
President Korb: Okay. Discussion?
Commissioner Tornatta: What is the 13 percent indirect costs? Sherman? Just curious.
Sherman Greer: I’m sorry, I have no idea.
Commissioner Tornatta: Okay.
Sherman Greer: I have no idea. To be honest with you, I don’t know.
Commissioner Tornatta: I mean, I know how these normally work, they’re to take care of certain parts of your office, and indirect costs are those–
Sherman Greer: Fifty percent of it comes from the feds, and then 25 percent from the county and 25 percent from the city.
Commissioner Tornatta: Okay.
Sherman Greer: The 13 percent indirect costs, I have no idea.
Ted C. Ziemer, Jr.: Those would be the costs of providing materials and supplies used–
Commissioner Tornatta: That’s what I was wondering.
Ted C. Ziemer, Jr.: – by those employees, and whether your cost is more or less than that, the state, under this grant, is willing to provide–
Sherman Greer: To provide that.
Ted C. Ziemer, Jr.: –up to 13 percent of those indirect costs.
President Korb: Which is $77,553.40?
Commissioner Tornatta: And that’s also–
Ted C. Ziemer, Jr.: No, that’s plus.
Sherman Greer: Plus, yeah.
Ted C. Ziemer, Jr.: The grant is for $77,553.40–
President Korb: Oh, okay.
Ted C. Ziemer, Jr.: – and then, plus the 13 percent.
Commissioner Tornatta: Okay, but that’s for stuff–
Ted C. Ziemer, Jr.: Oh, no, will not exceed $77,553.40.
Commissioner Tornatta: Those costs are things that have been spent prior to, and where does that money go?
Sherman Greer: The money goes–
Commissioner Tornatta: The $77,000.
Sherman Greer: The check comes in to the County Auditor’s office, and then they send it up to the Controller’s office and then they split it up from there.
Commissioner Tornatta: And, does that go into the EMA account or back into the county–
Sherman Greer: That goes back into the County General Fund.
Commissioner Tornatta: County General? Okay, thanks.
President Korb: We have a motion on the floor, with a second. Any further discussion or questions for Sherman Greer? Hearing none, all those in favor say aye.
All Commissioners: Aye.
President Korb: Opposed same sign. The motion passes.
Commissioner Nix: Thanks, Sherman.
President Korb: Thanks, Sherman.
Sherman Greer: Thank you.
President Korb: The next item is a DOC community corrections grant amendment number three. It’s an amendment to the existing DOC grant. The Sheriff’s not here. So, we need a motion please.
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.
County Engineer |
President Korb: Department head reports. John Stoll? Good evening, John.
John Stoll: Good evening. The first item I have is a reimbursement agreement with Vectren. This is for the Baseline Road bridge project. This would provide reimbursement to Vectren in the amount of $110,893.57, and that covers the electric transmission line relocations that are required for the project. Basically, they have to move their poles out and around the proposed project limits. This covers both design and construction costs associated with the relocation.
Commissioner Nix: Is that a fixed, firm fee? Or is that a not to exceed?
John Stoll: That is an estimate. It’s based on, we’ll reimburse them on the basis of actual unit costs.
Commissioner Nix: Costs, okay. So, if some work isn’t performed, we could possibly get a reduction in that fee?
John Stoll: Correct.
Commissioner Nix: Okay.
President Korb: John, are we, on that project, is it going to be a two lane road, or will it be a four lane?
John Stoll: It’s two lanes.
President Korb: Okay.
Commissioner Nix: With the engineering in place to make it four, at a later date.
John Stoll: The right-of-way was widened to accommodate four.
Commissioner Nix: Yeah, it’s engineered to add two.
President Korb: Okay. Great. So, I need a motion to accept that.
Commissioner Nix: So moved.
Commissioner Tornatta: Second.
President Korb: All those in favor say aye. Oh, I’m sorry, discussion first?
Commissioner Tornatta: Yeah, I do want to say that–
President Korb: Sure.
Commissioner Tornatta: –I’m going to, I’m going to vote to approve this, and do have a meeting with some people out in that area to talk about just the project in general. So, you know, my hope is that there is need out there for this project, and we’ve discussed that in the past.
President Korb: Sure.
Commissioner Tornatta: I would vote to approve that.
President Korb: Great. Any further 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 the Mylar cover sheet for the Baseline Road bridge plans. This would just be attached to the final plans when it goes out, when the project goes out for bid, assuming that the funding is approved by Council at their next meeting. I just need the Commissioners signatures on the plan sheet.
Commissioner Nix: Move approval.
President Korb: Second. Discussion?
Commissioner Tornatta: I cannot vote for this until I talk to those people out there. So, at this point, I will not be able to vote aye on this.
President Korb: Okay. All those in favor say aye.
Commissioner Nix: Aye.
President Korb: Aye. Opposed same sign.
Commissioner Tornatta: Aye.
President Korb: The motion passes.
John Stoll: The next item I have is the notice to bidders for the Green River Road project between Lynch Road and Millersburg Road. This would call for a bid opening on October 7th.
Commissioner Tornatta: Motion to approve.
Commissioner Nix: Second.
President Korb: Discussion? Am the only one excited about this? I mean, how long have you been working on this, John? Two years?
John Stoll: Too long.
President Korb: Three years?
John Stoll: Actually, it started, I can’t remember the exact start date, but there was an original design phase between Lynch and Hirsch that was originally going to be separated out. I think that dates, pre-dates any of you becoming Commissioners. So, quite a while.
President Korb: Wow!
Commissioner Tornatta: I’m excited we’re keeping the road open.
President Korb: You bet.
Commissioner Tornatta: I mean, that’s a necessity, and we’re saving, on estimates of six million on a detour. So, I mean, I think it’s the right decision.
President Korb: Great.
John Stoll: We’ve got a number of issues too that will still have to be resolved while we’re soliciting the bids on the project. We still have right-of-way issues, we still have to secure the environmental permits, and we’re also working on utility relocation plans as well. But, at least that can run concurrently with taking the bids. So, hopefully, we’ll get some good bids come October 7th.
President Korb: Good. So, the vote we’re taking right now is to release the bidding process?
John Stoll: To advertise on Friday the 5th and Friday the 12th.
President Korb: Great. Good. I need a first, a motion. Do we have one? A second? Great. Discussion? We just had that. All those in favor say aye.
All Commissioners: Aye.
President Korb: Opposed same sign. The motion passes.
John Stoll: Next, I have the IDEM notice of intent letters that have to be filed with IDEM for the next five year permit cycle on the storm water regulations. They’re set up for the Commission President’s signature. Basically, the designation is called the MS4 operator. That’s different than the previous submittal, because, in the past, that was set up as my signature, but the consultants who have been working on this, which is Christopher Burke Engineering said it needs to really be the highest elected official. So, it’s set up for Commissioner Korb’s signature, as well as my signature. But, it’s paperwork that has to be filed with IDEM by this Friday. So, it just provides a brief rundown of what the county is going to do to comply with the storm water regulations, and, I guess, in conjunction with that, we do have Christopher Burke Engineering evaluating where we stand currently, so they can advise us where we need to go to make sure we are in compliance, as much as we can be. In the meantime, I just need your approval to get your signature and forward this to IDEM.
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: The next item I have is an agreement between the county and the Evansville Water and Sewer Utility for the Cross Pointe Boulevard project. This is in the amount of $360,681. This calls for the Sewer Department to reimburse the county for all the reimburseable relocations that are being done on the Cross Pointe Boulevard project. It’s a unit cost project. So, here again, whatever the final quantities of water and sewer lines are constructed, that will be what we’ll be reimbursed on. But, it’s been reviewed by the County Attorney. So, I need your signature so that we can forward it on to the Utility Board.
Commissioner Tornatta: Motion to approve.
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, real quickly on that, if we can, would you mind getting with the contractors at Summit? We had talked about potentially taking some of that top soil, if we had any extra, and letting the YMCA use that to build some proposed soccer fields on that east side complex.
John Stoll: I’ll follow up with them on that.
President Korb: That would be great. Thank you.
John Stoll: Okay. The last item I have is an amended offer on parcel number 33 on Green River Road. This is owned by Dauby Properties and Investments LLC. The new offer amount is $53,900, and this was amended on the basis of changing some right-of-way limits. Those right-of-way changes were made because the developer had proceeded with his development plans while the county had been pursuing the design of the project. So, the county’s consultants and the developers consultants got together and came up with new right-of-way limits, and once those new limits were appraised, the appraiser came up with $53,900 as the offer amount. I just need your approval on that offer.
President Korb: I need a motion.
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: That’s all I have, unless you have questions.
Commissioner Tornatta: Question, John? What is the, what’s the timetable, or what do you think the timetable would be for CSX’s involvement with Baseline?
John Stoll: From what American Structurepoint has said, they felt they had addressed what URS Corporation, which is CSX’s review consultant, they felt like they had addressed what URS was looking for. So, they submitted paperwork to URS last week. As far as timetables on that approval and getting final flagger agreements and things like that, I’m not sure at this point.
President Korb: During budget hearings, I’m sorry, were you finished, Commissioner?
Commissioner Tornatta: I was just trying to figure out, do we wait for them to say they’re going to pay us part of the money if this job’s done? Or, is that in limbo as well?
John Stoll: From talking to Ted in the past, I guess, since it was in the statutes that they had, that the railroad was supposed to reimburse five percent of the total project cost, it was my understanding, talking to Ted, that the county’s recourse would be to sue the railroad if they didn’t voluntarily participate. You can probably state it better than I can, Ted, but that’s–
Commissioner Tornatta: Ted, do they take care of any of those costs of litigation if they’re found, if they’re supposed to pay?
Ted C. Ziemer, Jr.: The statute doesn’t provide for that. So, I don’t think there would be.
Commissioner Tornatta: And the number we’re looking at, $200,000, $300,000?
John Stoll: I haven’t gone back and refigured it since I got new estimates from Structurepoint last week, but two to two fifty would probably be–
Ted C. Ziemer, Jr.: There isn’t much to litigate. The statute says they will pay five percent of it. They have been advised of the–
John Stoll: Overall costs.
Ted C. Ziemer, Jr.: –overall costs for the project, they’re aware of that.
Commissioner Tornatta: But, do they have to approve anything before they’re on the hook?
Ted C. Ziemer, Jr.: No.
Commissioner Nix: (Inaudible. Microphone not on.)
Ted C. Ziemer, Jr.: Yes, right. I mean, it’s, so, what I’m saying to you is that the litigation is not going to be extensive. We’re not going to take a lot of depositions or anything. The cost is what we advised them what the cost was, and the state statute says they are to reimburse us five percent of that cost. The lawsuit will be to get the five percent paid. Which I don’t think will be necessary, but anyway, people that don’t do what the law says, you take them to court.
President Korb: Interesting. One other quick thing, if you could, John, follow up, if you remember Councilman Sutton from the County Council budget hearings had asked us to come up with a prioritized project list. If I remember correctly, he was looking for identification of five projects. We’ve already identified four; number one being Green River Road, which we’re getting ready to take bids on; number two is Cross Pointe Boulevard, which is under construction; number three is University Parkway, which is also getting ready to be under construction for that extension; number four for us would be, potentially, Baseline Road, depending on what the Council votes. If you would, before our next meeting, in the next two weeks or so, would you just come up with what you think would be our next set of projects, what our fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth projects would be?
John Stoll: As far as the large projects, I guess, Oak Hill and Bergdolt and Green River-Millersburg would be the only other two that I can think of.
President Korb: Okay.
Commissioner Nix: And Oak Hill-Bergdolt is–
John Stoll: It’s been awarded.
Commissioner Nix: Yeah, that’s a done deal.
John Stoll: Green River-Millersburg is on a November 19th INDOT bid letting. I guess, I’m just not sure what criteria to use for prioritizing things, because, like the small bridge and culvert projects, if they got funded, we went and did them. No particular order or anything like that. So, I can work with all three of you to try and come up with a listing, it’s just that, in the past, I can’t say we’ve had a numerical–
Commissioner Tornatta: We’ve had a list, and how they are being funded.
John Stoll: Right.
Commissioner Tornatta: In the past, Commissioner Musgrave, I know with Auditor Fluty, had a list drawn up from 2007 to 2010 or 11.
John Stoll: Yeah, the five year plan.
Commissioner Tornatta: I don’t know that we’ve followed it, but, I mean, that list is out there. I don’t think the funds have come in like we expected. So, I mean, there are some, we probably need to revamp that list at first, and then decide if what other projects we can look at with the means that we have.
John Stoll: In, if I’m thinking of the same list, I believe it was the five year plan that you’re referring to, and I can e-mail you a copy of what I had done when she was Commissioner. The only thing was that didn’t say here’s project number one, two, three–
Commissioner Tornatta: Right.
John Stoll: –it just had bridge projects, road projects–
Commissioner Nix: And, the five year list showed Baseline Road as a project.
John Stoll: I believe so, yes.
Commissioner Nix: Yeah.
President Korb: Okay. I’m just trying to be respectful of Commissioner, I mean, Councilman Sutton, and, so, that’s great. I think we’ve got our five. Once we get all these out for bid, and potentially turning dirt on them, we’ll look to our future again and see where we need to be with some of them.
Commissioner Tornatta: In that, I would like to see the funding. We can have projects, we can have a hundred projects, but I think we need funding for those projects, and some type of idea of how they are going to be funded. I think that that’s the one thing that I did appreciate about what Commissioner Musgrave did, is she did put the funding in place with the projects. So, hopefully, we’ll be able to do that again to show that our projects are funded, and we’re not going out and trying to continue to get dollars, essentially it seems like we’re borrowing from the same pocket. That’s what I don’t want to do. If we are, we need to recognize that before we get ourselves in a bind.
John Stoll: I can get the previous list that I had put together, and I’ll forward it to you, and then any comments that any of you have as far as what’s on there and what formats, I’ll be more than happy to try and get something worked out.
President Korb: Great. Well, let’s just keep moving forward on Baseline Road. That will wind up our five. So, that’s good. Thanks, anything else, John?
John Stoll: No.
President Korb: Thanks for coming. Appreciate it. Any other department heads? Steve Craig, have you got anything for us? Okay. Gary Heck, got anything for us?
Gary Heck: Nothing new, sir, no.
New Business |
President Korb: New business to appear before the Commissioners tonight? Seeing none.
Old Business |
President Korb: Any old business to appear before the Commissioners tonight?
Commissioner Nix: Commissioner Korb, I didn’t know if you wanted to announce Tox-A-Way Day this Saturday?
President Korb: Oh, you bet. Go ahead, have you got that?
Commissioner Nix: I don’t have it in front of me here. I think you’re going to be down there.
President Korb: It’s going to be at Roberts Stadium.
Commissioner Nix: You’re doing the greeting, aren’t you?
President Korb: Yep, 8:00 a.m., you betcha. So, Tox-A-Way Day, come, and it’s just, it’s not for businesses. It is just for individuals. Tires and motor oils and paints and lions and tigers and bears, oh my. So, bring everything that you can, and we’ll see you Saturday, 8:00 at the Stadium. That’s a great event. Any other old business?
Public Comment |
President Korb: Public comment, please, anybody in the audience tonight wishing to address the public? Good evening. Hi.
Debra Burress: Hi.
President Korb: If you would, just come up and state your name, please, for the record.
Debra Burress: My name is Debra Burress.
President Korb: Hello.
Debra Burress: Hello. I attended a Labor Day festivity at Burdette Park on, yesterday. Was it yesterday? Wait a minute. Sorry, no, it was Sunday, with my grandson, my daughter and my son. We were in the baby pool as my new grandson, Taylor, is nine and a half months old. I was out in the pool getting ready to go around to get him from my daughter, and I noticed a little boy pulling a little girl underneath the water. I told the little boy, “Don’t do that. You’re going to hurt the little girl.” He said, “Okay.”, and he didn’t realize how bad he was, you know, dunking her down. Then, I proceeded to go on to get on to get my grandson and put him in his little boat in the pool. I noticed that little boy and two little sisters of his, I found out later, were going up to other adults and asking, “Have you seen my sister? Have you seen my mother?”, and they had no adult with them. So, I just kind of kept an eye on them, thinking maybe the mother doesn’t realize that they’re being too rowdy. So, myself and some other parents waited, and my daughter, and my family, waited, and we kept watching the children, and no adults came up. So, we went up to the lifeguard on duty that was across from us in the pool and told her those children were there and they were getting dunked and were dangerous and we felt like their parents needed to be called to come get them and to watch them better. She, well, I’m not going to talk bad about Burdette, because I love Burdette, that’s why I’m here. It took, I would say most of an hour to an hour and a half to get anybody to realize that those children were left alone. The lifeguard manager finally, finally, after me having to get angry, finally got somebody to say that those were their children. What alarmed me was during this time there was nobody in charge of those children. They were left alone in that pool, and when they finally did find the adult, or the guardian, I think they were 18 year olds, that weren’t watching those children, they gave them to them, and then it wasn’t five to ten minutes later that those children were back out in that pool. One little girl was in the deep pool getting ready to jump in, and I had to go get her. Not Burdette Park. When I approached the lifeguard manager, he said that’s not my responsibility once I give those children back to the guardian. Well, who’s responsibility is it to make sure those children are safe? I am very alarmed that we don’t have a policy to make sure that those children are accompanied by adults. They walk–
President Korb: Were they left unattended the second time, Debra?
Debra Burress: Yes.
President Korb: Okay.
Debra Burress: Right, and we don’t have a policy to make sure those children, they come in through the window and pay and then it’s a free-for-all. They can leave their children there all day unaccompanied. We could have taken those children. There’s got to be some new ordinance passed to where you either come to the window to pay, you’ve got a child there, you either, I don’t know how it could be done, but something needs, somebody needs to protect the children of Vanderburgh County, that the parents should be protecting that are not.
President Korb: First of all, thank you for being someone who’s concerned enough to say, hey, what’s going on here.
Debra Burress: Right.
President Korb: Second of all, we will be happy to address this with Steve Craig, and if we do not have contact information for you, we will review this at our next meeting.
Debra Burress: Okay.
President Korb: Because you’ve asked a valid question.
Debra Burress: Right.
President Korb: And we’ll give you some definitive answers.
Commissioner Nix: I guess, just in fairness to Steve and the group out there, the Advisory Committee, I think, when do you meet again, Steve, do you know?
Steve Craig: (Inaudible. Not at the microphone.)
Commissioner Nix: Could we wait, I know you and I, we had talked about maybe having the Advisory Committee look at this and see if you could come up with some kind of rule of thumb.
Debra Burress: I’ve spoken to him, and he is very, very nice, trying to get something going.
Commissioner Tornatta: And, in that, we would not have a meeting then until the 17th of, or the 7th of October.
Commissioner Nix: I guess, that’s what I’m getting at, is that before–
Commissioner Tornatta: No, it’s after our next meeting.
Commissioner Nix: Yeah.
Commissioner Tornatta: The 16th.
President Korb: But, the pool is closed.
Commissioner Tornatta: Right.
Steve Craig: It’s closed for the season, and I had wanted to get input from the Advisory Board, from Ted Ziemer, from my personnel on, we have a policy that you have to be accompanied by an adult if you’re under 10 years old to get into the swimming pool. After that, it is something that I can’t, you know, take care of, if a parent’s not watching a kid, it’s something that probably needs to be addressed.
Commissioner Tornatta: So, you--
President Korb: Go ahead, Commissioner.
Commissioner Tornatta: I was just going to say, you know, we have Holiday World that has an aquatics facility, and maybe a couple of aquatics facilities in the tri-state area. If we could maybe just check with them and see what type of policies they have so we don’t have to reinvent the wheel. If there is something that can be done, obviously, we’ll take the Advisory Board, I think that would be a good start.
Steve Craig: I think so.
President Korb: So, Debra, what we’re looking at, probably is now four weeks out, only because the Advisory Board will meet, I mean, after our next meeting that we have here. We’ll stay on top of that, so we’ll come back, Marissa, if you would please remind us to revisit this. Steve, we’ll ask you to come back in four weeks with a recommendation of where we are with that.
Steve Craig: Yes, and any legal questions I will be in contact with Ted–
President Korb: That would be great.
Steve Craig: –to find out what our legal rights are, and what we can do and what we can’t do.
President Korb: That would be great. You know, Debra poses some great questions, because, jeepers, with the way the world is today, you just don’t want to leave kids unattended, especially at a crowded pool like that. Great. Thank you, Steve.
Steve Craig: You’re welcome.
President Korb: Appreciate it very much.
Steve Craig: Thank you.
President Korb: Thanks, Debra, for coming. Appreciate your words. Any other public comment? Seeing no one.
