Councilmember Raben: Okay, next under Riverboat 1490-2230 Garage & Motor $20,000, 1490-3051 Lodging of Inmates 150,000, 1490-2240 Medical $25,000, 1490-3050 Patient/Inmate Care $200,000, 1490-3798 Food Services 100,000, 1490-1850 Overtime 35,000, and Utilities1490-3200 for $10,000. I make that in the form of a motion.


Councilmember Tornatta: Second. For a total of --?


President Winnecke: I’m sorry, Mr. Raben, what was the Utilities line?


Councilmember Raben: Utilities is $10,000, for a total of...someone may want to double check this, $545,000.


President Winnecke: I think we’re missing one. We’re missing Commissioner’s Legal.


Councilmember Raben: No. They have a transfer.


President Winnecke: Oh, a transfer, I’m sorry. I stand corrected. And what was the total appropriation then? 545?


Councilmember Raben: 545.


President Winnecke: Questions or discussion?


Councilmember Abell: I have a question. Why are we not taking this Inmate Care and the expenses for prisoners out of our Jail Fund?


Councilmember Raben: For the simple fact that this is – this is General fund so we would have had to re-advertise and would not be able to vote on it until December.


Councilmember Abell: Well, I could live with my vote not until December. I just don’t think its fair to all the other departments that we pull these out of Riverboat funds, that they could all pull out of if they needed something. But they can’t pull out of the Jail fund is they need something, so it really hinders every other department in this county except the Sheriff’s department and the Jail. I don’t think that’s fair to the other departments. Now if the Treasurer came in here and they needed something that was $100,000, we could take it out of Riverboat, but we couldn’t take it out of the Jail fund.


Councilmember Raben: Well, the Jail set aside is not – that wasn’t set aside for Patient and Inmate. In fact, Patient and Inmate is a Commissioners account, not a Sheriff’s account. But, –


Councilmember Abell: But it still has to do with jailing of prisoners. I mean, you’re not jailing private citizens in Patient/Inmate.


Councilmember Sutton: Well, I think I asked a similar question last week and that’s just really related to the Lodging of Inmates. I recognize what our situation is with our General Fund and being that it is at a rather low level but they’re part of the reason why our General fund is where it is in terms of how low it is, is because of the regular payments we’ve made out this year due to the Lodging of Inmates. You know, since we’ve got that fund there that’s specifically for jail related expenses and I would consider this a jail related expense...I would have preferred that it would have come from the Jail fund that we’ve already got set up. You know, and the other thing, too, just reservation-wise, you guys have heard me say this many times over, I just feel somewhat uncomfortable when we begin to draw on those Riverboat dollars especially for operational expenses. That Riverboat money, I am fine when we do one-time projects, specialized projects, things that we ordinarily could not do through the General fund, but many of these things are just day to day operational issues. Now the other side of that coin would be that the expenses, the things that have caused us to have the financial situation where we find ourselves with the General fund is depleted, having been caused by Jail related things that we won’t see in 2006. But if we are in a situation next year and we are considering, we’re even considering drawing on Riverboat dollars for operational expense, I will vote against them. This year, given just the special nature of what we’ve had to deal, what we’re faced with, I’m going to vote in favor of this when we vote, but like I say, if we have this again, I can’t support it.


Councilmember Tornatta: I would just like to make a suggestion and maybe we can clarify this and maybe make it a little simpler in December by transferring funds from that Jail set aside money back into the General fund.


Councilmember Raben: I don’t think we can transfer from fund to fund, can we?


Councilmember Sutton: Bill?


Bill Fluty: It was always General fund money, you’ve just named it, earmarked it as Jail project, so it could be – I think as a body you could decide to move that money.


Councilmember Sutton: It is almost the equivalent of going from like one account to another if we were to make a transfer say next month.


Bill Fluty: With proper advertising, I believe it can be done.


Councilmember Tornatta: I guess I would have asked this question before, but what is the difference between the Riverboat monies and its setting and the set aside money, because it was General fund money at one time.


Bill Fluty: I believe the Riverboat money was always in the General fund but you’ve asked it to be kind of split out as you see the two columns in the financial statement, the unappropriated General fund and the Riverboat are actually one in the same. But they are just split out because of the way that you like to spend Riverboat money compared to General fund money.


Councilmember Tornatta: Well, I guess what I’m asking you is the set aside.


Bill Fluty: The set aside is different because you set that aside in a different fund.


Councilmember Tornatta: Okay, so we’d have to advertise to get that over. So if we were to do that, we could do that in December and then reimburse the General Fund for the amounts that we spent out of maybe in Patient/Inmate Care and Medical, Lodging of Inmates, something of that nature.


Bill Fluty: If that would be your pleasure, yes.


Councilmember Raben: And I might, just as matter of clarification, I think I mentioned this to a few people, we might at some point, it might be in the first quarter of next year or whenever, but once we realize that the jail is up and running and there aren’t any emergency situations or hidden surprises or something like that, you know, we can look at some point renaming that fund. I mean, it no longer would have to be Jail set aside. If we have a big capital project or, you know, we need to use it for enticements for new business, just whatever, but we can rename that fund at some point when we’re comfortable with that.


President Winnecke: Right now we have a motion on the floor and a second for the approval of the appropriations as Mr. Raben has described for a total amount of $545,000. Any other discussion or questions? Roll call vote please.

LOCAL EMERGENCY PLAN COMMISSION


Councilmember Raben: Okay, Mr. President, last week we had discussed someone from LEPC speaking on this request. I didn’t...does anybody have questions on this or do you wish to move forward?


Sherman Greer: Sherman Greer with the Emergency Management Agency representing the Local Emergency Planning Committee.


President Winnecke: Could you describe briefly the nature of these requests?


Sherman Greer: The $8,000 that we –


President Winnecke: Excuse me, Sherman, could you pick up the microphone? We have a new podium in here and we don’t have the gooseneck yet.


Sherman Greer: Okay, the $8,000 that we’ve asked to be transferred is for the exercise that we just did in September. And that money is going to be – three quarters of that money will be reimbursed to us from the Department of Homeland Security. But we had to front the money up front.


President Winnecke: Other questions?


Councilmember Sutton: So when you receive the reimbursement, what occurs then?


Sherman Greer: It goes back into this account.


Councilmember Sutton: In the form of a repeal or...


Sherman Greer: Yes. This money that we’re using for the LEPC is, I’m pretty sure you’re all familiar with it. You’re the custodians of it. This is not LIT tax money or anything of that sort. This is from fees that are paid to IDEM, we get 50% of that back into our community to do training, to buy equipment for hazardous materials to do all those different type things that the fund was set up for in 1996 by President Reagan and SARA Title III after the Bhopal incident, so that we can account for all manufacturers and non-manufacturers of hazardous materials within our community, and then be able to educate the public about that, and then also help the first responders to be able to use that money. I have a couple letters here, a letter here that explains all of that if you would like to have a copy.


President Winnecke: That would be great. Any other questions of Mr. Greer?


Councilmember Raben: Okay, Mr. President, I’m going to move that 2861-3310 through 2861-3130 be approved as listed, for a total of $6,800.
