No Bookmarks Exist.
We play all right, Thursday night they got a. | 00:00:00 | |
To the flag of the United States of America. | 00:00:11 | |
To the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. | 00:00:15 | |
Welcome to our December 3rd meeting. | 00:00:23 | |
I'll phone. Please put it to silent feel. We'll begin with a moment of silence for individual prayer, meditation, reflection. | 00:00:26 | |
As we prepare for tonight's meeting. | 00:00:36 | |
Alright, thank you. We're gonna have a slight agenda change here. | 00:01:00 | |
We have Honorable Judge Justin Brown with us tonight. He was under #2 on new business, but he has a guest with him who is | 00:01:05 | |
impatient to leave. So we'll have you guys come up first and. | 00:01:11 | |
Talk about office space update discussion appreciate commissioners, Commissioner Shellenberger Can able Sharp. | 00:01:20 | |
This is Theodora. | 00:01:27 | |
So I appreciate you all adjusting the. | 00:01:28 | |
Agenda for us. So we have something getting done in the next few weeks. The plan if you if you all been to Circuit Court before, | 00:01:31 | |
as you come in there's a little lobby area. | 00:01:36 | |
And. | 00:01:41 | |
Yeah, I think I can speak on behalf of the other commissioners having reviewed the plans. We won't get into the details on those, | 00:02:12 | |
but we always appreciate when somebody comes in and they're agreeing to play by the rules over there. So none of the wall spaces | 00:02:18 | |
are going to be violated or the ceiling. So they'll be no exposure to any hazardous materials. And we really love it when somebody | 00:02:23 | |
comes in. They know how they're going to pay for it. So do you need any? | 00:02:29 | |
Thing from us with a formal letter I think. Miss Fox, Do you think there's anything specific I would need? | 00:02:35 | |
I think just some motion to laugh and move forward that would be appropriate. | 00:02:43 | |
I'll see such a motion so moved second. OK, all in favor, aye. | 00:02:48 | |
All right. Thank you. Yeah, safe travel. | 00:02:54 | |
And for the astute observer, we have Miss Christie Fox sitting in for attorney Rick Fox tonight. And so she's been fully briefed | 00:02:58 | |
on everything that's going on and we'll. | 00:03:05 | |
Stand in for our usual County Attorney this evening. | 00:03:12 | |
Under old business, we have a second reading for Floyd County Ordinance 2024-330, an amendment to the AARP implementation plan. | 00:03:16 | |
Mr. Lop is not here to present that tonight, but if that needs to be read formally in then I'll ask Miss Paul. | 00:03:25 | |
To do so, of course. So what you have on your agenda there is the second reading of FCO which Floyd County Ordinance 2024-30, | 00:03:34 | |
which is the amendment to the AARP implementation plan. The changes under that ordinance were kind of reallocating the funds under | 00:03:40 | |
that they are funds that you had received and how those would be used and you did a first reading last month. So this would be a | 00:03:46 | |
second reading of that ordinance. | 00:03:52 | |
OK, if there's no new information for discussion, I'll ask for a motion to approve. I'll make a motion to approve Floyd County | 00:03:59 | |
Ordinance 2024-30 amendment to the ARP Implementation Plan. OK, I'll ask for a second. | 00:04:07 | |
And I'll second that myself. All in favor, aye. Opposed. | 00:04:15 | |
Passes 2 to one and I believe that is already on the Councils agenda for action. | 00:04:22 | |
At their next meeting, new business director of highway and public works and county engineering ratio ERITIA annual bid openings. | 00:04:28 | |
Do we have anybody else here wanting to put in a bid this evening? | 00:04:37 | |
You have a bed sheet. | 00:04:42 | |
These are we take these under under advisement, right? This is for the. | 00:04:44 | |
A whole host of things. | 00:04:50 | |
Is there any sheet for secondary reporting that we need? OK. | 00:04:53 | |
First one is Shelby County Co-op. | 00:04:59 | |
I believe. | 00:05:07 | |
I don't think we read them all, all the prices down. I think we just. | 00:05:09 | |
Just put them under advisement. | 00:05:15 | |
All right, and received the. | 00:05:19 | |
Shelby County Coop. | 00:05:23 | |
John said. We didn't either. | 00:05:37 | |
There's a hope. There's a hope, Chris is a whole list of stuff here. You know, that's fine. So after you open all of them, you can | 00:05:41 | |
just name them off as you go, who the NC is. And then at the end, I assume you guys will probably take them under advisement and | 00:05:46 | |
then make a decision. | 00:05:50 | |
And I didn't, I didn't announce that one, sorry. | 00:05:55 | |

Most would take these under review and advise. | 00:09:12 | |
All right. And I'll 2nd that the motion is second all in favor, aye? | 00:09:16 | |
Thank you. Thank you. | 00:09:21 | |
All right. Mr. Gary Bierman, IT Director. | 00:09:23 | |
Gary Biermann, Pulley County IT Director I'm here to present 2. | 00:09:30 | |
Resolutions for the Floyd County Technologies Security. | 00:09:35 | |
One is. | 00:09:40 | |
Do I need to read the whole thing? | 00:09:43 | |
So 1 is basically. | 00:09:45 | |
So the first one is. | 00:09:49 | |
It mandates that our users do cyber security training and that a new user does it within 14 days and then current users gives them | 00:09:52 | |
about 30 days to complete it. We have pretty good compliance now. | 00:09:59 | |
As far as that, but we're on the state is currently pushing us to have a lot of policy in place. So this is one of the first steps | 00:10:07 | |
for my department and getting all that policy. | 00:10:13 | |
So that one is just getting the users trained for cyber security. We do that yearly. Every user gets retrained and then we fish | 00:10:20 | |
you all. | 00:10:25 | |
Regularly. | 00:10:30 | |
And then the second resolution is. | 00:10:33 | |
In reference to. | 00:10:36 | |
That anything that plugs into the network gets approved through UST department before we allow it on the network. | 00:10:38 | |
That way we don't have anybody trying to plug anything malicious into the network, right? | 00:10:47 | |
I appreciate you being proactive about these and the full resolutions will be on the website for public. | 00:10:53 | |
Review as well, but they're nice. | 00:10:59 | |
Common sense, I think I do this for three or four different companies. So I have annual cybersecurity training 4 * a year. You | 00:11:02 | |
brought everybody in the room, probably does from somebody so. | 00:11:08 | |
Umm, something we really look forward to. | 00:11:14 | |
And Gary, the. | 00:11:19 | |
The 22, the. | 00:11:22 | |
20/24/22 Access to Floyd County computer network. | 00:11:26 | |
That's strictly for the Sheriff's Department is different from that. Is that correct? Yeah. They've got their own server, their | 00:11:30 | |
own iTunes and everything. OK. | 00:11:34 | |
Just want to make sure. | 00:11:39 | |
OK, if there's no further discussion, I'll look for. | 00:11:42 | |
Motion to approve. We can do these separately. | 00:11:46 | |
Easy enough Most approved Floyd County Reds Floyd County Resolution 2024 Dash 21 Enhancing protection of Floyd County computer | 00:11:49 | |
systems and network. | 00:11:54 | |
Motion is second all in favor. | 00:12:01 | |
Motion to approve Floyd County Resolution 2024-22 Access to Floyd County computer network. I'll second a motion and 2nd all in | 00:12:04 | |
favor. Aye aye, thank you very much. | 00:12:10 | |
All right. Next we have an update on the impact the advisory committee We have Mr. Billy Stewart and Mr. Jason Copperweight. | 00:12:17 | |
OK. | 00:12:27 | |
He rides alone. | 00:12:30 | |
Sir, thank you. | 00:12:33 | |
Thank you. | 00:12:37 | |
Thank you so much. | 00:12:40 | |
In a nutshell. | 00:12:48 | |
The first thing we did was identify which. | 00:12:51 | |
Impacts we can do. | 00:12:54 | |
According to state law. | 00:12:56 | |
To Rosen bridges sanitary sewer systems. | 00:12:59 | |
Parks, flood control and water treatment facilities. | 00:13:02 | |
And we came up with roads and bridges. | 00:13:06 | |
That's what we want to concentrate on. | 00:13:09 | |
Course, the county doesn't do water treatment. | 00:13:11 | |
The county doesn't do. | 00:13:13 | |
Santorini sewers. | 00:13:15 | |
Of course, this money can't be used to fix old problems. | 00:13:17 | |
Just new issues come up, a new business. | 00:13:21 | |
Second thing we did was request qualifications for consulting. | 00:13:26 | |
We get two companies approached this stand. | 00:13:30 | |
Strange Associates. United Consultant. | 00:13:33 | |
After interviewing them, we picked. | 00:13:35 | |
Not a consultant. | 00:13:38 | |
Not a consultant has done like eight of these. | 00:13:39 | |
Studies for different cities in Indiana. | 00:13:43 | |
Strain has done 0. | 00:13:46 | |
And then he had all. | 00:13:48 | |
So it was an easy choice. | 00:13:50 | |
And then the process of it right now is identifying. | 00:13:53 | |
A part of county we're going to put impact fees on. | 00:13:56 | |
And what's a proper fee structure And that's what we're looking at right now. | 00:14:00 | |
Of course you can include. | 00:14:04 | |
Romney, Georgetown or Greenville? | 00:14:07 | |
Of course you really don't want the other areas of county is not going to be. | 00:14:09 | |
Develop ever. | 00:14:13 | |
And these impact studies are very, very expensive. | 00:14:15 | |
So you really want to limit it where you're going to put, we believe you're going to have. | 00:14:20 | |
Growth. | 00:14:25 | |
Every five years you get to do another study. | 00:14:27 | |
And so you're basically looking at 10 years. | 00:14:30 | |
So that's what we're doing right now is trying to identify. | 00:14:33 | |
Which sections of the county we believe? | 00:14:36 | |
Overall and then once we identify that, we'll have a. | 00:14:39 | |
Was going to cost us. | 00:14:44 | |
You can spend 100,000 to. | 00:14:45 | |
$500,000. | 00:14:47 | |
Just for the stud. | 00:14:49 | |
So wherever you pick, you want to make sure. | 00:14:51 | |
He's gonna recover the cost of the study, plus of course generate revenue from Canada. | 00:14:53 | |
So that's the step around right now. | 00:14:59 | |
Once that's done, then we will. | 00:15:02 | |
Review the contract. | 00:15:04 | |
And we'll present a contract to your board. | 00:15:06 | |
And you guys had the only decision whether or not? | 00:15:09 | |
To move forward. | 00:15:11 | |
When you when you put this committee together. | 00:15:15 | |
You had three private citizens. | 00:15:17 | |
And four other people involved into. | 00:15:20 | |
Realtors. Builders. | 00:15:23 | |
And I was very pleased that we all were able to come together. | 00:15:25 | |
And actually. | 00:15:29 | |
Unanimously. | 00:15:31 | |
I believe in putting fees forward. | 00:15:33 | |
So all the builders and stuff. | 00:15:35 | |
Supporting this. | 00:15:38 | |
On this committee and the actual cost some cities 2003 thousand dollars. | 00:15:39 | |
A new home. | 00:15:47 | |
Some more, some less, but we'll have actual numbers. | 00:15:48 | |
The first height. | 00:15:54 | |
Thank you wholeheartedly for doing this. Mr. Mann's part of the committee. Is everyone else here that's on the committee tonight | 00:15:55 | |
other than you and Mr. Mann? | 00:15:58 | |
I think. | 00:16:02 | |
My thanks to both of you in the entire committee. | 00:16:04 | |
When you say that we're going to, you're going to have to redo this every five to 10 years. The study has been done every five | 00:16:07 | |
years. So that would be. | 00:16:11 | |
Is the update cost as much as the original study because you'll actually have a basis to go off with? | 00:16:15 | |
So yeah, every five years, supposed to be less constant. | 00:16:23 | |
As we started, we started from scratch. We have nothing. | 00:16:27 | |
So they're actually going to build. | 00:16:30 | |
So there actually would probably be a break even point on. | 00:16:32 | |
The initial cost outlayer. | 00:16:38 | |
In some cities are charging so much as Maine half dollars for like a Walmart. | 00:16:40 | |
Facility for impact fees, OK. | 00:16:45 | |
John, do you guys? | 00:16:50 | |
I don't think we put any. | 00:16:52 | |
Limits on. | 00:16:54 | |
The appointments that were made to the committee, so. | 00:16:57 | |
I would anticipate at some point we'll just remove everybody for 2025. If you feel like it's a really good functioning group. It | 00:17:01 | |
is. I mean it's very diverse group and you have a farmer, you have a retired businessman, you have. | 00:17:08 | |
Private citizen yet? | 00:17:15 | |
Realtors you have engineers and builders. | 00:17:17 | |
So you have a pretty good group of people. | 00:17:20 | |
Yeah, the former commissioner and you know. | 00:17:23 | |
The group was put together with the intent that it would work, but you never know when personalities in the room so. | 00:17:26 | |
Sounds like. | 00:17:32 | |
Suzanne, can you double check and make sure we didn't have expiration dates on those board appointments and maybe just put on for? | 00:17:39 | |
Early 2025 reappointment on those for the. | 00:17:46 | |
Following year if we can't do that. | 00:17:49 | |
At the next meeting. | 00:17:51 | |
And let's say I like to also publicly thank Nick. | 00:17:53 | |
Creating director villain. | 00:17:57 | |
He's done an excellent job keeping us off. | 00:17:59 | |
Information for. | 00:18:01 | |
Good. We appreciate the update. | 00:18:03 | |
Look forward to. | 00:18:06 | |
Seeing where this leads next year. | 00:18:08 | |
Any other questions? | 00:18:10 | |
Thank you very, very much. | 00:18:13 | |
All right, Mr. Chase Blakeman. | 00:18:17 | |
Phenomenon group regarding closure of corner lane. | 00:18:21 | |
Hopefully that temporary. | 00:18:26 | |
Yes, OK. | 00:18:28 | |
Chase Blakeman with Paul Primavera and associates on behalf of Don. | 00:18:32 | |
Apologized that he couldn't make it here tonight. He's. | 00:18:37 | |
On his way out of town. Would you like raising the microphone a little bit? Sorry, it's alright. | 00:18:39 | |
Is that better? Yeah, Yeah, I think so. So the theme group is requesting a temporary Rd. closure of Corner Lane. This closure is | 00:18:45 | |
requested for December 18th from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM to allow for the installation of the six inch water line. | 00:18:53 | |
The backup date for this closure is requested as December 19th, just in case they incur inclement weather. | 00:19:03 | |
Public notice will be issued to the News and Tribune a week prior to the requested date if approved. School Systems 911 Law | 00:19:11 | |
Enforcement EMS will also be noticed a week prior to this closure if approved. And local access will be allowed to their driveways | 00:19:17 | |
during the time of the closure to make sure everybody can access their homes. And we have provided you all with the Maintenance of | 00:19:23 | |
Traffic plan. | 00:19:30 | |
As prepared by Safety, Co will be handling all of the signage. | 00:19:37 | |
During that closure. | 00:19:42 | |
If you all have any questions please. | 00:19:45 | |
Was this this was approved and delayed earlier in the year? Is this correct or not? Is it or is this a different closure? I think | 00:19:47 | |
it's same same place. It's just a different closure and it is New Albany, Floyd County Schools even in session that. | 00:19:53 | |
On the 18th and 19th, do we know? | 00:19:59 | |
Her last day may be the 18. | 00:20:04 | |
If they are, then they absolutely, you know, so the buses are not impacted or I just think it'd be awfully beneficial if they | 00:20:07 | |
weren't just get the work done. Absolutely. | 00:20:12 | |
They're closed. | 00:20:20 | |
They're in school on the 18th. | 00:20:21 | |
I mean it's. | 00:20:26 | |
It's funny the way it's just, it's a little work, a little easier. Yeah. In addition to the Tribune, will there be any signage | 00:20:27 | |
there for a few days beforehand telling people that there's going to be a closure or not? It's not necessarily in the maintenance | 00:20:32 | |
of traffic plan, but if that is something I would like for that to happen. We just had an issue with old Vincents earlier, Iranis | 00:20:38 | |
shaking his head back there. That probably helped. | 00:20:44 | |
Yeah. What? 48 hours? OK, Yeah. | 00:20:51 | |
What day is the 18th on? Is that a son of? | 00:20:58 | |
Wednesday and Thursday, 18th and through Wednesday. | 00:21:03 | |
Yeah, I mean, you think 48 hours is sufficient? | 00:21:07 | |
Yeah, OK. | 00:21:10 | |
Play. | 00:21:13 | |
I'll have done get the safety code, make sure that they put that in their maintenance traffic, OK. | 00:21:14 | |
Any other questions, concerns, recommendations? | 00:21:19 | |
I like to recommend that you have another date just in case. I mean, we're getting the winter time. | 00:21:24 | |
You know I mean. | 00:21:30 | |
And I'm planking maybe give you that Friday as well. | 00:21:32 | |
If that's something that we can write into this approval just to have on hand, it wasn't something that was necessarily planned | 00:21:36 | |
for 1/3 date. I'm just saying that way in case you have bad weather on. Yeah, because it's happened many a time. | 00:21:43 | |
So we approved for the 18th, 19th and 20th. Yeah, that's what I'll make on my motion. | 00:21:50 | |
One second, have a motion and 2nd to allow for temporary closure of Clarendon Lane on the dates listed. | 00:21:57 | |
All in favor, aye. Thank you all very much. Thank you. | 00:22:04 | |
Tell Mister Theme when we missed it. | 00:22:09 | |
I will, all right. | 00:22:12 | |
County Attorney Christy Fox, Contract Employee Yes. So I have reviewed this contract and this is the contract for consulting | 00:22:13 | |
services for 2025. | 00:22:19 | |
Any questions that you all have? | 00:22:26 | |
Be looking to approve that with a motion and then. | 00:22:30 | |
Publicly here, why? We're seeing what we're doing momentarily. | 00:22:35 | |
I'm good. | 00:22:39 | |
All right, motion approved. Council move. | 00:22:41 | |
Second. OK, all in favor. | 00:22:43 | |
So what we approved is a consulting contract for. | 00:22:46 | |
Mr. Don Lot for the year 2025. He has. | 00:22:51 | |
Given his notice of retirement effective early January, January 4th I believe. | 00:22:57 | |
First week of January 2025. And so there's been a great deal of question about how those responsibilities are going to be taken | 00:23:05 | |
over and the plan that we've developed. | 00:23:09 | |
Still has some moving parts to it, but it's taking shape that. | 00:23:15 | |
Mr. Nick Creevy is going to be taking on the majority of the day-to-day functioning of what Mr. Lough was doing. | 00:23:19 | |
We have a provisional. | 00:23:30 | |
Enhanced job description that we worked through with human resources for Mr. Creedy, and he'll be taking over the title of the | 00:23:32 | |
Director of Building and Development Services. | 00:23:37 | |
And they'll have oversight of. | 00:23:43 | |
Just as it says multiple buildings and development. | 00:23:47 | |
He's going to be sharing budgetary oversight. | 00:23:52 | |
With. | 00:23:56 | |
Mr. Lobb in a consultative basis and also a third party who were still negotiating a contract with. So as soon as we get that | 00:23:57 | |
worked out, we'll reveal that as well. But. | 00:24:02 | |
We're going to have Mr. Creevy taking on the vast majority of Mr. Lops day-to-day responsibilities. | 00:24:07 | |
We're going to have the. | 00:24:17 | |
Department heads. | 00:24:19 | |
Reporting to the commissioners with at least quarterly reports and sit downs with us and we're all available day-to-day as well. | 00:24:22 | |
And. | 00:24:33 | |
So I'm looking for. | 00:24:35 | |
We're actually going to have triple oversight during 2025 during what I think could be. | 00:24:37 | |
It's a transition period. I mean, Mr. Lott did a lot of things and that job description grew around him over 20 some odd years. | 00:24:43 | |
And to try to ask anyone person to step in immediately and take over that role was fraught with a lot of difficulty and anxiety. | 00:24:52 | |
For myself and I believe the other commissioners as well, so. | 00:25:01 | |
We're going to be backfilling Mr. Creevy's job at planning, and this should all be budget neutral the way that we worked it out, | 00:25:06 | |
because we have. | 00:25:11 | |
The difference between what Mr. Creevy is going to be paid and what Mr. Lop was being paid. We have Mr. Creevy's existing salary. | 00:25:18 | |
So. | 00:25:25 | |
That's where 2025. | 00:25:28 | |
Shakes out at this point in time. | 00:25:30 | |
The thought process is that Mister Lopes involvement is probably going to be much more involved in the early part of 2025 than the | 00:25:33 | |
latter part of 2025. | 00:25:37 | |
And we'll be having at least weekly meetings with Mr. Creeby as well as the individual who's going to hopefully be signed in the | 00:25:41 | |
near future for that secondary budgetary oversight, at least weekly with at least one of the commissioners throughout the year, | 00:25:48 | |
just to ensure a very, very smooth transition with no balls dropped. | 00:25:54 | |
There's a lot of institutional memory wrapped up in Don Law, and there's a lot of little things that pop up on the calendar | 00:26:01 | |
annually that he knows about intuitively. | 00:26:06 | |
I talked to him about this today. We were having a discussion about the transition. I told him I likened it to when my grandmother | 00:26:12 | |
gave me her recipe for chicken and dumplings. She wrote down exactly how she did it. And I have followed that and it's never | 00:26:19 | |
tasted as good as my grandma's chicken and dumplings were. So there's a recipe to follow, but there's also an art to this. And | 00:26:25 | |
again, in just an intuition, intuition that we need to build upon, so. | 00:26:31 | |
And feel confident that this plan is going to cover all our bases and minimize the chance free balls being dropped. | 00:26:39 | |
And it's going to require a little bit of flexibility on the commissioners part, Mr. Creevy part, Mr. Lops part, as well as. | 00:26:46 | |
Are soon to be named other consultant, but. | 00:26:53 | |
I really believe it's a good pathway forward and it's going to work so. | 00:26:57 | |
You have comments, John or Jason? | 00:27:03 | |
Out of this town, OK. | 00:27:05 | |
There was an item for New Albany Township Fire Board appointment that's being tabled this evening. | 00:27:08 | |
I'll look for approval of the Commissioners meeting minutes for November 19th. | 00:27:14 | |
Most approved All in favor aye for approval of payroll and claims. | 00:27:18 | |
Motion approved. Second a motion a second. All in favor? Aye, aye. | 00:27:26 | |
We had a storm water meeting today at 4:30. Our next Commissioners meeting this Tuesday, December 17th, 24 at 6:00 PM. | 00:27:31 | |
We had no one sign in formally, but we'll open it up here in a minute anyway. Do we have any public? | 00:27:39 | |
Government official comments this evening. | 00:27:45 | |
All right, public comment. | 00:27:50 | |
Yes. | 00:27:52 | |
Daleman, Georgetown. | 00:27:59 | |
Thank you first. | 00:28:01 | |
Saying what we've been doing pretty much hit it right on the hit what I'm asking everybody doing and every time I talked to state | 00:28:04 | |
Rep. | 00:28:07 | |
Our impact fees were very limited what we commuted for. | 00:28:11 | |
And that has to be changed through the state. Indiana has got some of the most worst things that for impact fees that we can do. | 00:28:14 | |
All the other states allow you for schools, fire, police. | 00:28:19 | |
But not the state of Indiana, and that's really where our costs are. | 00:28:24 | |
And I'm asking is everybody every time you talk to state Rep? | 00:28:29 | |
Come, but we need. I don't think they understand. | 00:28:33 | |
The impact that this county is getting from development is tremendous. | 00:28:36 | |
In the way the impact fee is now, it's sort of like a TIF district. You have to use it in that district. | 00:28:41 | |
Pretty much or that area. | 00:28:47 | |
For the developer and we've been through statewide, we tried to push for statewide, probably not going to get that. | 00:28:49 | |
Trying to have to pick areas and they had to stay in that area. So it's sort of like a gym. | 00:28:56 | |
That's why we need to talk to your state reps and try to get it changed where we can charge impact fee for FAR, EMS, schools and | 00:29:01 | |
everything else that really impacts us. And that's all I'm asking for when you see them or call them and talk to them because | 00:29:08 | |
that's what we need. A couple of recommendations on that. Might I ask you and the committee to consider drafting a letter? | 00:29:16 | |
With the signatures of the committee that we could forward to our representatives in the state legislature and the other. | 00:29:24 | |
Recommendation. I would recommend perhaps inviting our state representative, state senator to one of your meetings and. | 00:29:30 | |
Having AQ and a with them and I'm sure they would, they would both come. But if you will draft such a letter, I'll make sure that | 00:29:38 | |
it's. | 00:29:42 | |
And delivered and we just compare us to our surrounding states. | 00:29:46 | |
Where were terms? I know Florida is much more liberal And is Ohio as well on that list? California. I mean there's $45,000 a | 00:29:52 | |
house. | 00:29:57 | |
In Florida is around 25,000. | 00:30:03 | |
Yeah. And most we're going to be able to charge with this is probably 2, if even that. | 00:30:06 | |
I don't think you all are recommending that we charge those amounts, right. I mean, I think what you would like to do is see the | 00:30:10 | |
money be able to be used. | 00:30:13 | |
Enhanced infrastructure, right? Yeah, yeah. Instead of just roads. And it needs to be with the, you know, our EMS, what it's going | 00:30:17 | |
to impact, what our fire, with our police schools, that's the impact. | 00:30:23 | |
We can't even charge for that. Let me ask a question and I understand what you're saying, but when you look at it. | 00:30:29 | |
So you, you, you've got a new subdivision, 100 homes. Well, there's going to be a. | 00:30:36 | |
School. | 00:30:41 | |
Property tax taken out of that so that is that not part of that of that impacting in the same way with like with like Fire | 00:30:43 | |
Protection, you know you have you have a fire district tax. | 00:30:50 | |
So I mean, so are you not adding twice to that? I'm just curious. I mean, I can see where police because we don't have, but we | 00:30:58 | |
have, we have, we have the lift tax and now we have that safety tax. But I'm, I'm just kind of trying to understand how do you, | 00:31:04 | |
how do you put an impact fee for those? Because they're already paying a portion of that with the property tax. They don't pay the | 00:31:10 | |
property tax after the homeowner owns if the impact fee is paid at time of when they get their permits. So you've got the money up | 00:31:16 | |
front. | 00:31:21 | |
OK. That makes a big difference. That's a whole year that you're getting something for what they're gonna cost for that whole | 00:31:27 | |
year. That's what that's the way I look at it. They are one time, correct. | 00:31:33 | |
That's a whole year ahead. OK, that makes sense. That's that's just the way I look at it. Thank you. So this is something me and | 00:31:41 | |
you have talked about a great length of the impact fees and to be quite honest with you, I haven't stopped talking to our state | 00:31:46 | |
representatives about it. So. | 00:31:50 | |
And I can't remember every time I get a chance. | 00:31:56 | |
But if you don't keep doing it, there's not that many areas in this state that does it because it might not be worth it. It might | 00:32:00 | |
not be worth it in discount. | 00:32:04 | |
But that's what we're working. | 00:32:09 | |
Thank you. Thank you. Any other public comment? | 00:32:11 | |
Committee reports. | 00:32:16 | |
Jason, I think you're up first this time. Yeah, so. | 00:32:18 | |
On Tuesday, November 26th, I took part in the contract negotiations with the collective bargaining unit for the Floyd County Road | 00:32:21 | |
Department and we're awaiting a vote. I believe it's going to be on Thursday from their membership to see if they would like to | 00:32:27 | |
continue forward and we might possibly have an agreement but to put in front of the commissioners and the council, so. | 00:32:33 | |
Looking forward to that. And then on Thursday, November 21st, I attended a presentation of the proposed Fire Protection territory | 00:32:40 | |
that included Franklin. | 00:32:44 | |
Georgetown, New Albany Townships. Of course, there was no official action taken during the meeting, was all set to meet statute | 00:32:48 | |
for a public meeting for all the boards to be able to sit down and discuss the information that they had requested together. So | 00:32:53 | |
I'm looking forward to see how that progresses. | 00:32:58 | |
That's all I got. | 00:33:03 | |
OK. On the 21st attended the River Hills Full Commission meeting. On Tuesday the 26th attended the LEPC meeting here at the | 00:33:06 | |
Pineview EOC and attended with Jason the Teamsters negotiations for the road department. And today we had the stormwater meeting. | 00:33:13 | |
Jason did mention the. | 00:33:20 | |
The far the territory meeting and obviously several calls after it's in the newspaper and the constituents were calling 1 to know | 00:33:28 | |
when the next fire. | 00:33:32 | |
Territory meeting is going to be and they're also asking if they if they could maybe be held at Pine View so that way they could | 00:33:38 | |
watch and be better informed, you know, instead of I'm not sure when the other one when the next one's going to be. But this way, | 00:33:44 | |
you know, they can't attend and that way they can see, you know, I guess more transparent, they can see what's being discussed and | 00:33:50 | |
all that. So I think that would be something that I would suggest to the. | 00:33:56 | |
To those arranging those meetings. | 00:34:03 | |
That's all I have, OK. | 00:34:07 | |
Thank you. November 21st attended a teams meeting on Flaxton Mill Bridge property acquisition. Primarily the take home is that | 00:34:08 | |
we're on schedule on that. | 00:34:14 | |
1121 later today. | 00:34:22 | |
A Zoom meeting with our building representative on the Chase Building and the County Building. | 00:34:26 | |
No change in the schedule on that business opening. Wanderlocks hair salon. I did not get a haircut but it looks like a nice place | 00:34:30 | |
down on Silver Street. New Albany. December 1st December 2nd. I've had multiple meetings with. | 00:34:37 | |
Our HR Director Nick Creeby Don Lock Gardner transition today at 4:00 PM I was at the Floyd County Legacy Foundation meeting and | 00:34:44 | |
we did set a spend rate that I need to have read into the record and have opportunity for discussion. We set a 3.5% spend rate | 00:34:51 | |
which would equate to. | 00:34:58 | |
$657,299 in grants for the next cycle. | 00:35:05 | |
So I just need that formally in the minutes that. | 00:35:12 | |
That information was accepted by the board. That's all I have. | 00:35:17 | |
Any closing comments? | 00:35:21 | |
Thank you all for coming. Appreciate it. | 00:35:23 | |
Motion to adjourn. | 00:35:26 | |
Thank you all. | 00:35:28 |

We play all right, Thursday night they got a. | 00:00:00 | |
To the flag of the United States of America. | 00:00:11 | |
To the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. | 00:00:15 | |
Welcome to our December 3rd meeting. | 00:00:23 | |
I'll phone. Please put it to silent feel. We'll begin with a moment of silence for individual prayer, meditation, reflection. | 00:00:26 | |
As we prepare for tonight's meeting. | 00:00:36 | |
Alright, thank you. We're gonna have a slight agenda change here. | 00:01:00 | |
We have Honorable Judge Justin Brown with us tonight. He was under #2 on new business, but he has a guest with him who is | 00:01:05 | |
impatient to leave. So we'll have you guys come up first and. | 00:01:11 | |
Talk about office space update discussion appreciate commissioners, Commissioner Shellenberger Can able Sharp. | 00:01:20 | |
This is Theodora. | 00:01:27 | |
So I appreciate you all adjusting the. | 00:01:28 | |
Agenda for us. So we have something getting done in the next few weeks. The plan if you if you all been to Circuit Court before, | 00:01:31 | |
as you come in there's a little lobby area. | 00:01:36 | |
And. | 00:01:41 | |
Yeah, I think I can speak on behalf of the other commissioners having reviewed the plans. We won't get into the details on those, | 00:02:12 | |
but we always appreciate when somebody comes in and they're agreeing to play by the rules over there. So none of the wall spaces | 00:02:18 | |
are going to be violated or the ceiling. So they'll be no exposure to any hazardous materials. And we really love it when somebody | 00:02:23 | |
comes in. They know how they're going to pay for it. So do you need any? | 00:02:29 | |
Thing from us with a formal letter I think. Miss Fox, Do you think there's anything specific I would need? | 00:02:35 | |
I think just some motion to laugh and move forward that would be appropriate. | 00:02:43 | |
I'll see such a motion so moved second. OK, all in favor, aye. | 00:02:48 | |
All right. Thank you. Yeah, safe travel. | 00:02:54 | |
And for the astute observer, we have Miss Christie Fox sitting in for attorney Rick Fox tonight. And so she's been fully briefed | 00:02:58 | |
on everything that's going on and we'll. | 00:03:05 | |
Stand in for our usual County Attorney this evening. | 00:03:12 | |
Under old business, we have a second reading for Floyd County Ordinance 2024-330, an amendment to the AARP implementation plan. | 00:03:16 | |
Mr. Lop is not here to present that tonight, but if that needs to be read formally in then I'll ask Miss Paul. | 00:03:25 | |
To do so, of course. So what you have on your agenda there is the second reading of FCO which Floyd County Ordinance 2024-30, | 00:03:34 | |
which is the amendment to the AARP implementation plan. The changes under that ordinance were kind of reallocating the funds under | 00:03:40 | |
that they are funds that you had received and how those would be used and you did a first reading last month. So this would be a | 00:03:46 | |
second reading of that ordinance. | 00:03:52 | |
OK, if there's no new information for discussion, I'll ask for a motion to approve. I'll make a motion to approve Floyd County | 00:03:59 | |
Ordinance 2024-30 amendment to the ARP Implementation Plan. OK, I'll ask for a second. | 00:04:07 | |
And I'll second that myself. All in favor, aye. Opposed. | 00:04:15 | |
Passes 2 to one and I believe that is already on the Councils agenda for action. | 00:04:22 | |
At their next meeting, new business director of highway and public works and county engineering ratio ERITIA annual bid openings. | 00:04:28 | |
Do we have anybody else here wanting to put in a bid this evening? | 00:04:37 | |
You have a bed sheet. | 00:04:42 | |
These are we take these under under advisement, right? This is for the. | 00:04:44 | |
A whole host of things. | 00:04:50 | |
Is there any sheet for secondary reporting that we need? OK. | 00:04:53 | |
First one is Shelby County Co-op. | 00:04:59 | |
I believe. | 00:05:07 | |
I don't think we read them all, all the prices down. I think we just. | 00:05:09 | |
Just put them under advisement. | 00:05:15 | |
All right, and received the. | 00:05:19 | |
Shelby County Coop. | 00:05:23 | |
John said. We didn't either. | 00:05:37 | |
There's a hope. There's a hope, Chris is a whole list of stuff here. You know, that's fine. So after you open all of them, you can | 00:05:41 | |
just name them off as you go, who the NC is. And then at the end, I assume you guys will probably take them under advisement and | 00:05:46 | |
then make a decision. | 00:05:50 | |
And I didn't, I didn't announce that one, sorry. | 00:05:55 | |

Thank you. Thank you. | 00:09:21 | |
All right. Mr. Gary Bierman, IT Director. | 00:09:23 | |
Gary Biermann, Pulley County IT Director I'm here to present 2. | 00:09:30 | |
Resolutions for the Floyd County Technologies Security. | 00:09:35 | |
One is. | 00:09:40 | |
Do I need to read the whole thing? | 00:09:43 | |
So 1 is basically. | 00:09:45 | |
So the first one is. | 00:09:49 | |
It mandates that our users do cyber security training and that a new user does it within 14 days and then current users gives them | 00:09:52 | |
about 30 days to complete it. We have pretty good compliance now. | 00:09:59 | |
As far as that, but we're on the state is currently pushing us to have a lot of policy in place. So this is one of the first steps | 00:10:07 | |
for my department and getting all that policy. | 00:10:13 | |
So that one is just getting the users trained for cyber security. We do that yearly. Every user gets retrained and then we fish | 00:10:20 | |
you all. | 00:10:25 | |
Regularly. | 00:10:30 | |
And then the second resolution is. | 00:10:33 | |
In reference to. | 00:10:36 | |
That anything that plugs into the network gets approved through UST department before we allow it on the network. | 00:10:38 | |
That way we don't have anybody trying to plug anything malicious into the network, right? | 00:10:47 | |
I appreciate you being proactive about these and the full resolutions will be on the website for public. | 00:10:53 | |
Review as well, but they're nice. | 00:10:59 | |
Common sense, I think I do this for three or four different companies. So I have annual cybersecurity training 4 * a year. You | 00:11:02 | |
brought everybody in the room, probably does from somebody so. | 00:11:08 | |
Umm, something we really look forward to. | 00:11:14 | |
And Gary, the. | 00:11:19 | |
The 22, the. | 00:11:22 | |
20/24/22 Access to Floyd County computer network. | 00:11:26 | |
That's strictly for the Sheriff's Department is different from that. Is that correct? Yeah. They've got their own server, their | 00:11:30 | |
own iTunes and everything. OK. | 00:11:34 | |
Just want to make sure. | 00:11:39 | |
OK, if there's no further discussion, I'll look for. | 00:11:42 | |
Motion to approve. We can do these separately. | 00:11:46 | |
Easy enough Most approved Floyd County Reds Floyd County Resolution 2024 Dash 21 Enhancing protection of Floyd County computer | 00:11:49 | |
systems and network. | 00:11:54 | |
Motion is second all in favor. | 00:12:01 | |
Motion to approve Floyd County Resolution 2024-22 Access to Floyd County computer network. I'll second a motion and 2nd all in | 00:12:04 | |
favor. Aye aye, thank you very much. | 00:12:10 | |
All right. Next we have an update on the impact the advisory committee We have Mr. Billy Stewart and Mr. Jason Copperweight. | 00:12:17 | |
OK. | 00:12:27 | |
He rides alone. | 00:12:30 | |
Sir, thank you. | 00:12:33 | |
Thank you. | 00:12:37 | |
Thank you so much. | 00:12:40 | |
In a nutshell. | 00:12:48 | |
The first thing we did was identify which. | 00:12:51 | |
Impacts we can do. | 00:12:54 | |
According to state law. | 00:12:56 | |
To Rosen bridges sanitary sewer systems. | 00:12:59 | |
Parks, flood control and water treatment facilities. | 00:13:02 | |
And we came up with roads and bridges. | 00:13:06 | |
That's what we want to concentrate on. | 00:13:09 | |
Course, the county doesn't do water treatment. | 00:13:11 | |
The county doesn't do. | 00:13:13 | |
Santorini sewers. | 00:13:15 | |
Of course, this money can't be used to fix old problems. | 00:13:17 | |
Just new issues come up, a new business. | 00:13:21 | |
Second thing we did was request qualifications for consulting. | 00:13:26 | |
We get two companies approached this stand. | 00:13:30 | |
Strange Associates. United Consultant. | 00:13:33 | |
After interviewing them, we picked. | 00:13:35 | |
Not a consultant. | 00:13:38 | |
Not a consultant has done like eight of these. | 00:13:39 | |
Studies for different cities in Indiana. | 00:13:43 | |
Strain has done 0. | 00:13:46 | |
And then he had all. | 00:13:48 | |
So it was an easy choice. | 00:13:50 | |
And then the process of it right now is identifying. | 00:13:53 | |
A part of county we're going to put impact fees on. | 00:13:56 | |
And what's a proper fee structure And that's what we're looking at right now. | 00:14:00 | |
Of course you can include. | 00:14:04 | |
Romney, Georgetown or Greenville? | 00:14:07 | |
Of course you really don't want the other areas of county is not going to be. | 00:14:09 | |
Develop ever. | 00:14:13 | |
And these impact studies are very, very expensive. | 00:14:15 | |
So you really want to limit it where you're going to put, we believe you're going to have. | 00:14:20 | |
Growth. | 00:14:25 | |
Every five years you get to do another study. | 00:14:27 | |
And so you're basically looking at 10 years. | 00:14:30 | |
So that's what we're doing right now is trying to identify. | 00:14:33 | |
Which sections of the county we believe? | 00:14:36 | |
Overall and then once we identify that, we'll have a. | 00:14:39 | |
Was going to cost us. | 00:14:44 | |
You can spend 100,000 to. | 00:14:45 | |
$500,000. | 00:14:47 | |
Just for the stud. | 00:14:49 | |
So wherever you pick, you want to make sure. | 00:14:51 | |
He's gonna recover the cost of the study, plus of course generate revenue from Canada. | 00:14:53 | |
So that's the step around right now. | 00:14:59 | |
Once that's done, then we will. | 00:15:02 | |
Review the contract. | 00:15:04 | |
And we'll present a contract to your board. | 00:15:06 | |
And you guys had the only decision whether or not? | 00:15:09 | |
To move forward. | 00:15:11 | |
When you when you put this committee together. | 00:15:15 | |
You had three private citizens. | 00:15:17 | |
And four other people involved into. | 00:15:20 | |
Realtors. Builders. | 00:15:23 | |
And I was very pleased that we all were able to come together. | 00:15:25 | |
And actually. | 00:15:29 | |
Unanimously. | 00:15:31 | |
I believe in putting fees forward. | 00:15:33 | |
So all the builders and stuff. | 00:15:35 | |
Supporting this. | 00:15:38 | |
On this committee and the actual cost some cities 2003 thousand dollars. | 00:15:39 | |
A new home. | 00:15:47 | |
Some more, some less, but we'll have actual numbers. | 00:15:48 | |
The first height. | 00:15:54 | |
Thank you wholeheartedly for doing this. Mr. Mann's part of the committee. Is everyone else here that's on the committee tonight | 00:15:55 | |
other than you and Mr. Mann? | 00:15:58 | |
I think. | 00:16:02 | |
My thanks to both of you in the entire committee. | 00:16:04 | |
When you say that we're going to, you're going to have to redo this every five to 10 years. The study has been done every five | 00:16:07 | |
years. So that would be. | 00:16:11 | |
Is the update cost as much as the original study because you'll actually have a basis to go off with? | 00:16:15 | |
So yeah, every five years, supposed to be less constant. | 00:16:23 | |
As we started, we started from scratch. We have nothing. | 00:16:27 | |
So they're actually going to build. | 00:16:30 | |
So there actually would probably be a break even point on. | 00:16:32 | |
The initial cost outlayer. | 00:16:38 | |
In some cities are charging so much as Maine half dollars for like a Walmart. | 00:16:40 | |
Facility for impact fees, OK. | 00:16:45 | |
John, do you guys? | 00:16:50 | |
I don't think we put any. | 00:16:52 | |
Limits on. | 00:16:54 | |
The appointments that were made to the committee, so. | 00:16:57 | |
I would anticipate at some point we'll just remove everybody for 2025. If you feel like it's a really good functioning group. It | 00:17:01 | |
is. I mean it's very diverse group and you have a farmer, you have a retired businessman, you have. | 00:17:08 | |
Private citizen yet? | 00:17:15 | |
Realtors you have engineers and builders. | 00:17:17 | |
So you have a pretty good group of people. | 00:17:20 | |
Yeah, the former commissioner and you know. | 00:17:23 | |
The group was put together with the intent that it would work, but you never know when personalities in the room so. | 00:17:26 | |
Sounds like. | 00:17:32 | |
Suzanne, can you double check and make sure we didn't have expiration dates on those board appointments and maybe just put on for? | 00:17:39 | |
Early 2025 reappointment on those for the. | 00:17:46 | |
Following year if we can't do that. | 00:17:49 | |
At the next meeting. | 00:17:51 | |
And let's say I like to also publicly thank Nick. | 00:17:53 | |
Creating director villain. | 00:17:57 | |
He's done an excellent job keeping us off. | 00:17:59 | |
Information for. | 00:18:01 | |
Good. We appreciate the update. | 00:18:03 | |
Look forward to. | 00:18:06 | |
Seeing where this leads next year. | 00:18:08 | |
Any other questions? | 00:18:10 | |
Thank you very, very much. | 00:18:13 | |
All right, Mr. Chase Blakeman. | 00:18:17 | |
Phenomenon group regarding closure of corner lane. | 00:18:21 | |
Hopefully that temporary. | 00:18:26 | |
Yes, OK. | 00:18:28 | |
Chase Blakeman with Paul Primavera and associates on behalf of Don. | 00:18:32 | |
Apologized that he couldn't make it here tonight. He's. | 00:18:37 | |
On his way out of town. Would you like raising the microphone a little bit? Sorry, it's alright. | 00:18:39 | |
Is that better? Yeah, Yeah, I think so. So the theme group is requesting a temporary Rd. closure of Corner Lane. This closure is | 00:18:45 | |
requested for December 18th from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM to allow for the installation of the six inch water line. | 00:18:53 | |
The backup date for this closure is requested as December 19th, just in case they incur inclement weather. | 00:19:03 | |
Public notice will be issued to the News and Tribune a week prior to the requested date if approved. School Systems 911 Law | 00:19:11 | |
Enforcement EMS will also be noticed a week prior to this closure if approved. And local access will be allowed to their driveways | 00:19:17 | |
during the time of the closure to make sure everybody can access their homes. And we have provided you all with the Maintenance of | 00:19:23 | |
Traffic plan. | 00:19:30 | |
As prepared by Safety, Co will be handling all of the signage. | 00:19:37 | |
During that closure. | 00:19:42 | |
If you all have any questions please. | 00:19:45 | |
Was this this was approved and delayed earlier in the year? Is this correct or not? Is it or is this a different closure? I think | 00:19:47 | |
it's same same place. It's just a different closure and it is New Albany, Floyd County Schools even in session that. | 00:19:53 | |
On the 18th and 19th, do we know? | 00:19:59 | |
Her last day may be the 18. | 00:20:04 | |
If they are, then they absolutely, you know, so the buses are not impacted or I just think it'd be awfully beneficial if they | 00:20:07 | |
weren't just get the work done. Absolutely. | 00:20:12 | |
They're closed. | 00:20:20 | |
They're in school on the 18th. | 00:20:21 | |
I mean it's. | 00:20:26 | |
It's funny the way it's just, it's a little work, a little easier. Yeah. In addition to the Tribune, will there be any signage | 00:20:27 | |
there for a few days beforehand telling people that there's going to be a closure or not? It's not necessarily in the maintenance | 00:20:32 | |
of traffic plan, but if that is something I would like for that to happen. We just had an issue with old Vincents earlier, Iranis | 00:20:38 | |
shaking his head back there. That probably helped. | 00:20:44 | |
Yeah. What? 48 hours? OK, Yeah. | 00:20:51 | |
What day is the 18th on? Is that a son of? | 00:20:58 | |
Wednesday and Thursday, 18th and through Wednesday. | 00:21:03 | |
Yeah, I mean, you think 48 hours is sufficient? | 00:21:07 | |
Yeah, OK. | 00:21:10 | |
Play. | 00:21:13 | |
I'll have done get the safety code, make sure that they put that in their maintenance traffic, OK. | 00:21:14 | |
Any other questions, concerns, recommendations? | 00:21:19 | |
I like to recommend that you have another date just in case. I mean, we're getting the winter time. | 00:21:24 | |
You know I mean. | 00:21:30 | |
And I'm planking maybe give you that Friday as well. | 00:21:32 | |
If that's something that we can write into this approval just to have on hand, it wasn't something that was necessarily planned | 00:21:36 | |
for 1/3 date. I'm just saying that way in case you have bad weather on. Yeah, because it's happened many a time. | 00:21:43 | |
So we approved for the 18th, 19th and 20th. Yeah, that's what I'll make on my motion. | 00:21:50 | |
One second, have a motion and 2nd to allow for temporary closure of Clarendon Lane on the dates listed. | 00:21:57 | |
All in favor, aye. Thank you all very much. Thank you. | 00:22:04 | |
Tell Mister Theme when we missed it. | 00:22:09 | |
I will, all right. | 00:22:12 | |
County Attorney Christy Fox, Contract Employee Yes. So I have reviewed this contract and this is the contract for consulting | 00:22:13 | |
services for 2025. | 00:22:19 | |
Any questions that you all have? | 00:22:26 | |
Be looking to approve that with a motion and then. | 00:22:30 | |
Publicly here, why? We're seeing what we're doing momentarily. | 00:22:35 | |
I'm good. | 00:22:39 | |
All right, motion approved. Council move. | 00:22:41 | |
Second. OK, all in favor. | 00:22:43 | |
So what we approved is a consulting contract for. | 00:22:46 | |
Mr. Don Lot for the year 2025. He has. | 00:22:51 | |
Given his notice of retirement effective early January, January 4th I believe. | 00:22:57 | |
First week of January 2025. And so there's been a great deal of question about how those responsibilities are going to be taken | 00:23:05 | |
over and the plan that we've developed. | 00:23:09 | |
Still has some moving parts to it, but it's taking shape that. | 00:23:15 | |
Mr. Nick Creevy is going to be taking on the majority of the day-to-day functioning of what Mr. Lough was doing. | 00:23:19 | |
We have a provisional. | 00:23:30 | |
Enhanced job description that we worked through with human resources for Mr. Creedy, and he'll be taking over the title of the | 00:23:32 | |
Director of Building and Development Services. | 00:23:37 | |
And they'll have oversight of. | 00:23:43 | |
Just as it says multiple buildings and development. | 00:23:47 | |
He's going to be sharing budgetary oversight. | 00:23:52 | |
With. | 00:23:56 | |
Mr. Lobb in a consultative basis and also a third party who were still negotiating a contract with. So as soon as we get that | 00:23:57 | |
worked out, we'll reveal that as well. But. | 00:24:02 | |
We're going to have Mr. Creevy taking on the vast majority of Mr. Lops day-to-day responsibilities. | 00:24:07 | |
We're going to have the. | 00:24:17 | |
Department heads. | 00:24:19 | |
Reporting to the commissioners with at least quarterly reports and sit downs with us and we're all available day-to-day as well. | 00:24:22 | |
And. | 00:24:33 | |
So I'm looking for. | 00:24:35 | |
We're actually going to have triple oversight during 2025 during what I think could be. | 00:24:37 | |
It's a transition period. I mean, Mr. Lott did a lot of things and that job description grew around him over 20 some odd years. | 00:24:43 | |
And to try to ask anyone person to step in immediately and take over that role was fraught with a lot of difficulty and anxiety. | 00:24:52 | |
For myself and I believe the other commissioners as well, so. | 00:25:01 | |
We're going to be backfilling Mr. Creevy's job at planning, and this should all be budget neutral the way that we worked it out, | 00:25:06 | |
because we have. | 00:25:11 | |
The difference between what Mr. Creevy is going to be paid and what Mr. Lop was being paid. We have Mr. Creevy's existing salary. | 00:25:18 | |
So. | 00:25:25 | |
That's where 2025. | 00:25:28 | |
Shakes out at this point in time. | 00:25:30 | |
The thought process is that Mister Lopes involvement is probably going to be much more involved in the early part of 2025 than the | 00:25:33 | |
latter part of 2025. | 00:25:37 | |
And we'll be having at least weekly meetings with Mr. Creeby as well as the individual who's going to hopefully be signed in the | 00:25:41 | |
near future for that secondary budgetary oversight, at least weekly with at least one of the commissioners throughout the year, | 00:25:48 | |
just to ensure a very, very smooth transition with no balls dropped. | 00:25:54 | |
There's a lot of institutional memory wrapped up in Don Law, and there's a lot of little things that pop up on the calendar | 00:26:01 | |
annually that he knows about intuitively. | 00:26:06 | |
I talked to him about this today. We were having a discussion about the transition. I told him I likened it to when my grandmother | 00:26:12 | |
gave me her recipe for chicken and dumplings. She wrote down exactly how she did it. And I have followed that and it's never | 00:26:19 | |
tasted as good as my grandma's chicken and dumplings were. So there's a recipe to follow, but there's also an art to this. And | 00:26:25 | |
again, in just an intuition, intuition that we need to build upon, so. | 00:26:31 | |
And feel confident that this plan is going to cover all our bases and minimize the chance free balls being dropped. | 00:26:39 | |
And it's going to require a little bit of flexibility on the commissioners part, Mr. Creevy part, Mr. Lops part, as well as. | 00:26:46 | |
Are soon to be named other consultant, but. | 00:26:53 | |
I really believe it's a good pathway forward and it's going to work so. | 00:26:57 | |
You have comments, John or Jason? | 00:27:03 | |
Out of this town, OK. | 00:27:05 | |
There was an item for New Albany Township Fire Board appointment that's being tabled this evening. | 00:27:08 | |
I'll look for approval of the Commissioners meeting minutes for November 19th. | 00:27:14 | |
Most approved All in favor aye for approval of payroll and claims. | 00:27:18 | |
Motion approved. Second a motion a second. All in favor? Aye, aye. | 00:27:26 | |
We had a storm water meeting today at 4:30. Our next Commissioners meeting this Tuesday, December 17th, 24 at 6:00 PM. | 00:27:31 | |
We had no one sign in formally, but we'll open it up here in a minute anyway. Do we have any public? | 00:27:39 | |
Government official comments this evening. | 00:27:45 | |
All right, public comment. | 00:27:50 | |
Yes. | 00:27:52 | |
Daleman, Georgetown. | 00:27:59 | |
Thank you first. | 00:28:01 | |
Saying what we've been doing pretty much hit it right on the hit what I'm asking everybody doing and every time I talked to state | 00:28:04 | |
Rep. | 00:28:07 | |
Our impact fees were very limited what we commuted for. | 00:28:11 | |
And that has to be changed through the state. Indiana has got some of the most worst things that for impact fees that we can do. | 00:28:14 | |
All the other states allow you for schools, fire, police. | 00:28:19 | |
But not the state of Indiana, and that's really where our costs are. | 00:28:24 | |
And I'm asking is everybody every time you talk to state Rep? | 00:28:29 | |
Come, but we need. I don't think they understand. | 00:28:33 | |
The impact that this county is getting from development is tremendous. | 00:28:36 | |
In the way the impact fee is now, it's sort of like a TIF district. You have to use it in that district. | 00:28:41 | |
Pretty much or that area. | 00:28:47 | |
For the developer and we've been through statewide, we tried to push for statewide, probably not going to get that. | 00:28:49 | |
Trying to have to pick areas and they had to stay in that area. So it's sort of like a gym. | 00:28:56 | |
That's why we need to talk to your state reps and try to get it changed where we can charge impact fee for FAR, EMS, schools and | 00:29:01 | |
everything else that really impacts us. And that's all I'm asking for when you see them or call them and talk to them because | 00:29:08 | |
that's what we need. A couple of recommendations on that. Might I ask you and the committee to consider drafting a letter? | 00:29:16 | |
With the signatures of the committee that we could forward to our representatives in the state legislature and the other. | 00:29:24 | |
Recommendation. I would recommend perhaps inviting our state representative, state senator to one of your meetings and. | 00:29:30 | |
Having AQ and a with them and I'm sure they would, they would both come. But if you will draft such a letter, I'll make sure that | 00:29:38 | |
it's. | 00:29:42 | |
And delivered and we just compare us to our surrounding states. | 00:29:46 | |
Where were terms? I know Florida is much more liberal And is Ohio as well on that list? California. I mean there's $45,000 a | 00:29:52 | |
house. | 00:29:57 | |
In Florida is around 25,000. | 00:30:03 | |
Yeah. And most we're going to be able to charge with this is probably 2, if even that. | 00:30:06 | |
I don't think you all are recommending that we charge those amounts, right. I mean, I think what you would like to do is see the | 00:30:10 | |
money be able to be used. | 00:30:13 | |
Enhanced infrastructure, right? Yeah, yeah. Instead of just roads. And it needs to be with the, you know, our EMS, what it's going | 00:30:17 | |
to impact, what our fire, with our police schools, that's the impact. | 00:30:23 | |
We can't even charge for that. Let me ask a question and I understand what you're saying, but when you look at it. | 00:30:29 | |
So you, you, you've got a new subdivision, 100 homes. Well, there's going to be a. | 00:30:36 | |
School. | 00:30:41 | |
Property tax taken out of that so that is that not part of that of that impacting in the same way with like with like Fire | 00:30:43 | |
Protection, you know you have you have a fire district tax. | 00:30:50 | |
So I mean, so are you not adding twice to that? I'm just curious. I mean, I can see where police because we don't have, but we | 00:30:58 | |
have, we have, we have the lift tax and now we have that safety tax. But I'm, I'm just kind of trying to understand how do you, | 00:31:04 | |
how do you put an impact fee for those? Because they're already paying a portion of that with the property tax. They don't pay the | 00:31:10 | |
property tax after the homeowner owns if the impact fee is paid at time of when they get their permits. So you've got the money up | 00:31:16 | |
front. | 00:31:21 | |
OK. That makes a big difference. That's a whole year that you're getting something for what they're gonna cost for that whole | 00:31:27 | |
year. That's what that's the way I look at it. They are one time, correct. | 00:31:33 | |
That's a whole year ahead. OK, that makes sense. That's that's just the way I look at it. Thank you. So this is something me and | 00:31:41 | |
you have talked about a great length of the impact fees and to be quite honest with you, I haven't stopped talking to our state | 00:31:46 | |
representatives about it. So. | 00:31:50 | |
And I can't remember every time I get a chance. | 00:31:56 | |
But if you don't keep doing it, there's not that many areas in this state that does it because it might not be worth it. It might | 00:32:00 | |
not be worth it in discount. | 00:32:04 | |
But that's what we're working. | 00:32:09 | |
Thank you. Thank you. Any other public comment? | 00:32:11 | |
Committee reports. | 00:32:16 | |
Jason, I think you're up first this time. Yeah, so. | 00:32:18 | |
On Tuesday, November 26th, I took part in the contract negotiations with the collective bargaining unit for the Floyd County Road | 00:32:21 | |
Department and we're awaiting a vote. I believe it's going to be on Thursday from their membership to see if they would like to | 00:32:27 | |
continue forward and we might possibly have an agreement but to put in front of the commissioners and the council, so. | 00:32:33 | |
Looking forward to that. And then on Thursday, November 21st, I attended a presentation of the proposed Fire Protection territory | 00:32:40 | |
that included Franklin. | 00:32:44 | |
Georgetown, New Albany Townships. Of course, there was no official action taken during the meeting, was all set to meet statute | 00:32:48 | |
for a public meeting for all the boards to be able to sit down and discuss the information that they had requested together. So | 00:32:53 | |
I'm looking forward to see how that progresses. | 00:32:58 | |
That's all I got. | 00:33:03 | |
OK. On the 21st attended the River Hills Full Commission meeting. On Tuesday the 26th attended the LEPC meeting here at the | 00:33:06 | |
Pineview EOC and attended with Jason the Teamsters negotiations for the road department. And today we had the stormwater meeting. | 00:33:13 | |
Jason did mention the. | 00:33:20 | |
The far the territory meeting and obviously several calls after it's in the newspaper and the constituents were calling 1 to know | 00:33:28 | |
when the next fire. | 00:33:32 | |
Territory meeting is going to be and they're also asking if they if they could maybe be held at Pine View so that way they could | 00:33:38 | |
watch and be better informed, you know, instead of I'm not sure when the other one when the next one's going to be. But this way, | 00:33:44 | |
you know, they can't attend and that way they can see, you know, I guess more transparent, they can see what's being discussed and | 00:33:50 | |
all that. So I think that would be something that I would suggest to the. | 00:33:56 | |
To those arranging those meetings. | 00:34:03 | |
That's all I have, OK. | 00:34:07 | |
Thank you. November 21st attended a teams meeting on Flaxton Mill Bridge property acquisition. Primarily the take home is that | 00:34:08 | |

Our HR Director Nick Creeby Don Lock Gardner transition today at 4:00 PM I was at the Floyd County Legacy Foundation meeting and | 00:34:44 | |
we did set a spend rate that I need to have read into the record and have opportunity for discussion. We set a 3.5% spend rate | 00:34:51 | |
which would equate to. | 00:34:58 | |
$657,299 in grants for the next cycle. | 00:35:05 | |
So I just need that formally in the minutes that. | 00:35:12 | |
