In a minute. 2025-03-11 12:03:51

At the board and the help. 2025-03-11 12:03:57
Health department aren't being kept up to speed on all new. 2025-03-11 12:04:00
Development with the new building. 2025-03-11 12:04:03
And I just. 2025-03-11 12:04:06
Just wanted to comment that I sent out an e-mail. 2025-03-11 12:04:09
With regards to this. 2025-03-11 12:04:12
Particular issue and I sent it out to. 2025-03-11 12:04:15
All members of the board here. I sent it out. 2025-03-11 12:04:18
To Doctor Harris. 2025-03-11 12:04:21
And Charlotte Bass. 2025-03-11 12:04:24
And you know. 2025-03-11 12:04:27
Purpose of the e-mail was communication. 2025-03-11 12:04:30
To the board and the health department with. 2025-03-11 12:04:33
Regard to the status of where we were at. 2025-03-11 12:04:36
And basically. 2025-03-11 12:04:39
In regards to the e-mail. 2025-03-11 12:04:42
What I laid out is what the Commissioners are doing. 2025-03-11 12:04:45
And specifically. 2025-03-11 12:04:48
Buying the building for the health department. 2025-03-11 12:04:52
They're going to provide 1.1 million. 2025-03-11 12:04:55
For improvements. 2025-03-11 12:04:58
To that building. 2025-03-11 12:05:00
Uh. 2025-03-11 12:05:01
And of course, that's for budgetary purposes. 2025-03-11 12:05:04
For the Floyd County Health Department, so. 2025-03-11 12:05:07
They know what they have in terms. 2025-03-11 12:05:10
Being able to move forward that way. 2025-03-11 12:05:13
1.1 million obviously plus whatever. 2025-03-11 12:05:16
Additional monies that the Floyd County Health Department. 2025-03-11 12:05:19
Has in terms of being able to. 2025-03-11 12:05:22
Umm add. 2025-03-11 12:05:25
That that they have in their coffers. 2025-03-11 12:05:28
I indicated in the e-mail. 2025-03-11 12:05:31
Of that we expect the. 2025-03-11 12:05:34
Clothing on the property to be. 2025-03-11 12:05:37
Towards the end of April or early. 2025-03-11 12:05:40
May I indicate? 2025-03-11 12:05:43
With regard. 2025-03-11 12:05:46
Floyd County Health Department What their. 2025-03-11 12:05:49
Their responsibilities were and that is. 2025-03-11 12:05:52
You know, make sure that. 2025-03-11 12:05:55
You have identified all your wants. 2025-03-11 12:05:58
With regards to this building. 2025-03-11 12:06:01
So that that can be built into the plan. 2025-03-11 12:06:04
The process that. 2025-03-11 12:06:07
That I laid out with regards to this. 2025-03-11 12:06:10
Recommended Basically a bottoms up. 2025-03-11 12:06:13
Umm, that. 2025-03-11 12:06:16
What the Floyd County Health Department. 2025-03-11 12:06:19
And board needs to do to deter. 2025-03-11 12:06:22
What type of design space is needed? 2025-03-11 12:06:25
Umm, to be able for the. 2025-03-11 12:06:28
Employees to do their. 2025-03-11 12:06:31
Job effectively. 2025-03-11 12:06:34
And. 2025-03-11 12:06:34
Plants needed to be developed. 2025-03-11 12:06:37
With the architect with that in mind. 2025-03-11 12:06:40
And so you know, I could read. 2025-03-11 12:06:47
Through it. But you know, I think it was clear in. 2025-03-11 12:06:49
To what the? 2025-03-11 12:06:52
Where what the status was with re. 2025-03-11 12:06:55
Regards to this in terms of communicating with. 2025-03-11 12:06:58
Between the Commissioners and this Board. 2025-03-11 12:07:01
And the Floyd County Health Department. 2025-03-11 12:07:04
And the Commissioners? 2025-03-11 12:07:07
Are not involved in any other way shape. 2025-03-11 12:07:10
Perform with regard to the deep. 2025-03-11 12:07:13
Of the improvements that's left to this board. 2025-03-11 12:07:16
And the Floyd County Health Department. 2025-03-11 12:07:19
And so the whole purpose of this was not only. 2025-03-11 12:07:23
To inform, but also to say hey. 2025-03-11 12:07:25
We're going to be closing this thing. 2025-03-11 12:07:29
In short order, if you. 2025-03-11 12:07:31
Well, and so you really need to be. 2025-03-11 12:07:35
Moving forward, with regards to putting the. 2025-03-11 12:07:38
Designed together so that. 2025-03-11 12:07:41
You know that that thing is built just to the. 2025-03-11 12:07:44
Effects of what you need to be able to do your job. 2025-03-11 12:07:47
Effectively and you know making sure that all. 2025-03-11 12:07:50
There, the twos are there. 2025-03-11 12:07:56
That you got once that it's in your budget? 2025-03-11 12:07:59
You can add to the once. 2025-03-11 12:08:02
And prioritize those so that. 2025-03-11 12:08:05
What I laid out in my memo SO. 2025-03-11 12:08:08
You know that came the same month as. 2025-03-11 12:08:11
The board meeting so I think in terms. 2025-03-11 12:08:14
Of informing, you know, I think the. 2025-03-11 12:08:17
Commissioners have done their job with regards to. 2025-03-11 12:08:20
To going forward, I will. 2025-03-11 12:08:23
As the last comment, just say that. 2025-03-11 12:08:26
Doctor Kneel has advised me. 2025-03-11 12:08:29
Advise all of you that. 2025-03-11 12:08:32
That. 2025-03-11 12:08:35
You can contact him anytime with. 2025-03-11 12:08:38
To any issues that that. 2025-03-11 12:08:41
That you have or that you want to discuss. 2025-03-11 12:08:44
With the commissioners and Doctor Knabel. 2025-03-11 12:08:47
Says I'm open for any communications. 2025-03-11 12:08:50
He said. I haven't received a phone call from anybody. 2025-03-11 12:08:53
In 20 4th Ave. I'm basically available. 2025-03-11 12:08:56
For any communication. 2025-03-11 12:08:59
That somebody wants to make with me. 2025-03-11 12:09:02
And the other commissioners are the same and I can tell you if there's personal. 2025-03-11 12:09:05
Experience and working with them, they take off. 2025-03-11 12:09:08
Phone calls so if this board has any quest. 2025-03-11 12:09:11
With regard to where the Commissioners. 2025-03-11 12:09:14
Stand or who's doing what or whatever. 2025-03-11 12:09:17
I'm available, the commissioners are at. 2025-03-11 12:09:20
Available. 2025-03-11 12:09:23
And that is the same with everybody. 2025-03-11 12:09:26
Everybody else that has an interest in this. 2025-03-11 12:09:29
Background noise starts now. 2025-03-11 12:09:29
Make those comments that you know the commissioners are. 2025-03-11 12:09:32
Are doing their best to move. 2025-03-11 12:09:35
Forward with regards to this process. 2025-03-11 12:09:38
And they're not going to be in the middle. 2025-03-11 12:09:41
Specifically, the design. 2025-03-11 12:09:44
Where the plugs are going to be? 2025-03-11 12:09:47
Whatever the case may be. 2025-03-11 12:09:50
Foot with good cover under the building update it's like. 2025-03-11 12:09:54
Clarify all this because we have. 2025-03-11 12:09:56
Yeah, I feel like anyway. 2025-03-11 12:09:59
What was in the minutes? 2025-03-11 12:10:02
Was one of those cons. That was one. 2025-03-11 12:10:05
Person's comment. 2025-03-11 12:10:08
Sam, he walks in. The minute I got it, I think it was. 2025-03-11 12:10:12
Important to respond to what is in. 2025-03-11 12:10:14
Minutes that you know an allegation. 2025-03-11 12:10:18
Are not communicating well. 2025-03-11 12:10:20
I'm kind of that. That person that is. 2025-03-11 12:10:24
Representing both boards and statutorily and. 2025-03-11 12:10:27
Put in that position. 2025-03-11 12:10:30
And so you know. 2025-03-11 12:10:33
It's a balancing act in terms of going. 2025-03-11 12:10:36
Back and forth, but there's very clear lines that are. 2025-03-11 12:10:39
Wrong here as to who's doing what and that's why. 2025-03-11 12:10:42
To get the e-mail app so I could lay that. 2025-03-11 12:10:45
So that there's no misconception as to. 2025-03-11 12:10:48
What? And I think Christie laid that out at the last. 2025-03-11 12:10:51
Meeting also, I think she said that the commissioners are. 2025-03-11 12:10:54
Or not involved in micro. 2025-03-11 12:10:57
From managing what's going on here, they're buying a building for you that. 2025-03-11 12:11:00
What they're doing and they're going to provide 1.1 million. 2025-03-11 12:11:03
That might have been that might have been some. 2025-03-11 12:11:06
You know, I talked about, I don't know if we actually talked about it in the meeting, right? 2025-03-11 12:11:09
Like I I came up here before the meeting and we talked. 2025-03-11 12:11:12
Yeah. I don't know if they got into the meeting OK. All right. 2025-03-11 12:11:15
Rick, I've got one quick question. So, uh, so with. 2025-03-11 12:11:18
That in mind, I mean at what point can. 2025-03-11 12:11:21
The board and Doctor Harrison Char. 2025-03-11 12:11:24
Start working with the architect to start. 2025-03-11 12:11:27
Start doing the design phase even though we don't own the building. 2025-03-11 12:11:30
Yeah, yesterday, yeah, yeah. 2025-03-11 12:11:33
Can I have last name that would be appropriate for us to have a? 2025-03-11 12:11:36
You know a a product. 2025-03-11 12:11:39
Maybe not a public meeting to start. 2025-03-11 12:11:42
I'm currently working on. 2025-03-11 12:11:45
You know, designer, architect is is we have to. 2025-03-11 12:11:48
I don't remember what the answer was. I asked the question but I can't remember what. 2025-03-11 12:11:51
What the answer was if we had to get RFP? 2025-03-11 12:11:54
To get that process started because I know that takes a while. 2025-03-11 12:11:57
So that's stuff we were gonna cover under Building Update. 2025-03-11 12:12:00
OK, OK, OK. Well, we can start. 2025-03-11 12:12:03
I can go into more detail about the process then. 2025-03-11 12:12:06
OK, I got you. OK. 2025-03-11 12:12:09
So should we take that comment out? 2025-03-11 12:12:12
Well, I think there's a motion on the floor too. 2025-03-11 12:12:15
To approve the management, Rick is giving his update then. 2025-03-11 12:12:18
My motion still saying. 2025-03-11 12:12:21
That is a minute, Yeah, sure. 2025-03-11 12:12:24
OK. Second, a few seconds. Yeah, OK. 2025-03-11 12:12:27
Nobody. OK. 2025-03-11 12:12:30
And carries the minutes are approved. All right, on to budget. 2025-03-11 12:12:33
Does anybody have any questions about budget? 2025-03-11 12:12:36
Nobody has any questions about the budget. 2025-03-11 12:12:45
What do we? 2025-03-11 12:13:00
Doing with it. 2025-03-11 12:13:03
This is a separate vet. 2025-03-11 12:13:22
From the seasonal first. 2025-03-11 12:13:25
OK. 2025-03-11 12:13:34
There's no real plan. 2025-03-11 12:13:36
To go with an avian vaccine at this point. 2025-03-11 12:13:40
There have. 2025-03-11 12:13:43
Sense of attention. Recently you said that state level for the. 2025-03-11 12:13:46
Flew through the occasion. 2025-03-11 12:13:49
Mercer County, Ohio. 2025-03-11 12:13:52
And they're up to human. 2025-03-11 12:13:55
Cases now spread out across the US, but. 2025-03-11 12:13:58
And I bring it up. 2025-03-11 12:14:01
Because we had a case over the weekend at the hosp. 2025-03-11 12:14:04
Yesterday, so there. 2025-03-11 12:14:09
There have been the elegant terms to be popular. 2025-03-11 12:14:13
Two populations of poultry in Washington. 2025-03-11 12:14:16
The county is the closest bird. 2025-03-11 12:14:19
Before we could just go on about. 2025-03-11 12:14:22
I need we need to go back up to budget and improve those. 2025-03-11 12:14:25
I need a motion. 2025-03-11 12:14:31
So moved. 2025-03-11 12:14:34
OK. Any opposed? OK, go ahead. Just. 2025-03-11 12:14:37
OK, go on. 2025-03-11 12:14:40
Oh yeah, that's all. 2025-03-11 12:15:01
And 1:00 and 2:00. 2025-03-11 12:15:04
That's awesome. Thank. 2025-03-11 12:15:10
Anything more on the? 2025-03-11 12:15:13
H5 N one Doctor Harris No. 2025-03-11 12:15:16
OK, building update. 2025-03-11 12:15:19
So we're just gonna cover what we're gonna. 2025-03-11 12:15:22
Yes, the the building is good. 2025-03-11 12:15:25
Christie lit a fire under. 2025-03-11 12:15:28
Meeting to get that done sooner than later. 2025-03-11 12:15:31
And yes, the health. 2025-03-11 12:15:34
In particular, the people that run the health department. 2025-03-11 12:15:37
Are going to have the most input on what you want that for. 2025-03-11 12:15:40
Yes, we need to hire an art. 2025-03-11 12:15:43
Architects, now the architect we hire. 2025-03-11 12:15:46
There doesn't have to be the architect that we ultimately. 2025-03-11 12:15:49
Because once we get. 2025-03-11 12:15:52
Plans and you guys have everything that you have. 2025-03-11 12:15:55
Have to have that, you have to have the generator way. 2025-03-11 12:15:58
The I see everything. 2025-03-11 12:16:01
Budget, then actually we'll get bids from. 2025-03-11 12:16:04
People and the Commissioners will make a decision on. 2025-03-11 12:16:07
Who is going to actually get the big? 2025-03-11 12:16:10
Because they have to pay for it so. 2025-03-11 12:16:13
So no, we have complete control over. 2025-03-11 12:16:16
What we want in that building and the committee. 2025-03-11 12:16:19
Don't care, we just have to stay. 2025-03-11 12:16:22
I guess my question is still though. 2025-03-11 12:16:25
Do we need to submit an RFP? 2025-03-11 12:16:28
Proposal Do we need to have the committee? 2025-03-11 12:16:31
Need to get up the ability to get an RFP or. 2025-03-11 12:16:34
Get one. We've already sort of generated a plan for the 1st. 2025-03-11 12:16:37
Words y'all seen from the I think. 2025-03-11 12:16:40
My understanding is we can just. 2025-03-11 12:16:43
Go ahead and pay for an architect to start on the plan. 2025-03-11 12:16:46
That that's that's independent. 2025-03-11 12:16:49
That doesn't mean that we're going to use that architect in the. 2025-03-11 12:16:52
In the final thing, right once. Once the. 2025-03-11 12:16:55
I mean what I'd recommend just process. 2025-03-11 12:16:58
That's why is to let the. 2025-03-11 12:17:01
Put together preliminary drawing in. 2025-03-11 12:17:04
Then get. 2025-03-11 12:17:07
Floyd County Health Department. 2025-03-11 12:17:10
All this with the employees, the people that are. 2025-03-11 12:17:13
Gonna be working there. 2025-03-11 12:17:16
But then. 2025-03-11 12:17:16
Ask questions, you know, hey, you'd be better off for us in terms. 2025-03-11 12:17:19
Of our workflow as this was here and that was here yeah so let's. 2025-03-11 12:17:22
So when we first started looking at building. 2025-03-11 12:17:25
You know, we had two architect propos. 2025-03-11 12:17:28
For this particular building, Lynn Armstrong. 2025-03-11 12:17:31
Was one of the recommendations from the county. 2025-03-11 12:17:34
And then Pinkerton and he. 2025-03-11 12:17:37
When it actually came out and stood with us outside the building. 2025-03-11 12:17:40
Walk through the building with this and you know he. 2025-03-11 12:17:43
We've got several phases, you know, he's got the initial phase. 2025-03-11 12:17:46
With working with Tom and Charlotte. 2025-03-11 12:17:49
The employees and doing the initial site design for. 2025-03-11 12:17:52
For a fee and then if we want him to proceed. 2025-03-11 12:17:55
With the next phase and then the following the. 2025-03-11 12:17:58
Final phase of contractor. 2025-03-11 12:18:01
Blueprints and all that, all that stuff. 2025-03-11 12:18:04
Three separate phases he you know that they would do but. 2025-03-11 12:18:07
You know he's already been out there. He's. 2025-03-11 12:18:10
He's got a good understanding he price wise was. 2025-03-11 12:18:13
They're virtually saying when Armstrong and him were virtually the same. 2025-03-11 12:18:16
I mean, but you can certainly get another bid if you want another. 2025-03-11 12:18:19
But he we had a statutory. 2025-03-11 12:18:22
Process for the appraisal, we had to have three bids. 2025-03-11 12:18:25
So you're telling me we don't have to have that? 2025-03-11 12:18:28
You select who you want, yeah. 2025-03-11 12:18:31
And you select who you want. 2025-03-11 12:18:34
And so that would be the first step for this board to solve. 2025-03-11 12:18:37
Select who they want as an architect. 2025-03-11 12:18:40
And then you ultimately as you go. 2025-03-11 12:18:43
Through whatever process you decide in terms of. 2025-03-11 12:18:46
Making this happen that architect will. 2025-03-11 12:18:49
Use the drawings. 2025-03-11 12:18:52
Bid drawing and so once. 2025-03-11 12:18:55
You get that then. 2025-03-11 12:18:58
The commissioners can go through. 2025-03-11 12:19:01
Their process of just going ahead. 2025-03-11 12:19:04
Doing the advertising and everything for the bid. 2025-03-11 12:19:07
All have done what you're trying to. This is what we want and then. 2025-03-11 12:19:13
It's just a matter of getting the bid. 2025-03-11 12:19:16
For that and then passing it back to this board and letting. 2025-03-11 12:19:19
The board make a decision as to how you want to go forward. 2025-03-11 12:19:22
Because depending on the contractor, some of the contractors. 2025-03-11 12:19:25
To do the secondary architectural stuff in house. 2025-03-11 12:19:28
Versus an outside entity, so some. 2025-03-11 12:19:31
Some of them have you know, in order to value. 2025-03-11 12:19:34
Here they do it themselves and have their own people that. 2025-03-11 12:19:37
Safe cost, so depending on which. 2025-03-11 12:19:40
Bill. 2025-03-11 12:19:40
Building firm you end up going with you know they may not. 2025-03-11 12:19:43
Need the second and third. 2025-03-11 12:19:46
Say Pinkerton. You know they. 2025-03-11 12:19:49
Do it in house so but the first phase is. 2025-03-11 12:19:52
You know, so my question though is so. 2025-03-11 12:19:55
Let's just say it's Pinkerton that we choose and. 2025-03-11 12:19:58
What if you know he wants, you know upfront money? 2025-03-11 12:20:01
We need to get started. I mean, where's where's that money come from? 2025-03-11 12:20:04
We submit it to my understanding. 2025-03-11 12:20:07
According to the minutes from the last meeting, is that this? 2025-03-11 12:20:10
Board approved $170,000. 2025-03-11 12:20:13
That you have to put forward with regard. 2025-03-11 12:20:16
To this process. And so you've got that money, right? 2025-03-11 12:20:19
To go ahead and pay for this ongoing. 2025-03-11 12:20:22
Effort as to how you choose to allocate your. 2025-03-11 12:20:25
Sources. So let me clarify one thing and I think. 2025-03-11 12:20:28
Somebody, the commissioners are buying the building. 2025-03-11 12:20:31
We have 1.1 plus the HFM. 2025-03-11 12:20:34
Money to do the reset. 2025-03-11 12:20:37
That's what we. 2025-03-11 12:20:37
So the arcade. 2025-03-11 12:20:40
Tech is going to come out of our pocket. 2025-03-11 12:20:43
So we, we, we just need to make a decision on which one. 2025-03-11 12:20:46
So, Tom, do you have a preference? 2025-03-11 12:20:50
On who we get to do the preliminary? 2025-03-11 12:20:53
You know my my preferences, of course is that they would base. 2025-03-11 12:20:56
What they're doing off of the floor plan that. 2025-03-11 12:20:58
Came up with through the department because we've all kind of metal. 2025-03-11 12:21:02
That tried to, you know, go close to the exam and. 2025-03-11 12:21:05
We like the the original plan we came up with. I don't have a prep. 2025-03-11 12:21:11
For our architectural design. 2025-03-11 12:21:13
I think it's reasonable that, you know, we have somebody. 2025-03-11 12:21:17
A set of workable floor plan that would be. 2025-03-11 12:21:20
The code basically and then. 2025-03-11 12:21:23
From there, the 2nd and 3rd phases would probably be. 2025-03-11 12:21:26
Contingent upon. Contingent upon. 2025-03-11 12:21:29
You know what actual construction companies looked at? But. 2025-03-11 12:21:32
Yeah, I think, I mean, I think we should move ahead. 2025-03-11 12:21:35
With a architect. 2025-03-11 12:21:38
An architect I don't. 2025-03-11 12:21:41
To have a preference one way or the other, as long as they're going. 2025-03-11 12:21:44
To take, you know, our input for what we. 2025-03-11 12:21:47
So I will go to the. 2025-03-11 12:21:50
Say that I personally vetted the two. 2025-03-11 12:21:53
People because I have friends in the business and I'm not going to say. 2025-03-11 12:21:56
Because they didn't give you permission to, but I I would. 2025-03-11 12:21:59
Highly recommend the sky. 2025-03-11 12:22:02
Pinkerton, yeah. And again, he's ready. He's ready to. 2025-03-11 12:22:05
Yeah, he's so, I mean all your. 2025-03-11 12:22:08
All I gotta do is make phone call. 2025-03-11 12:22:11
So I mean, and it's what it was, in fact. 2025-03-11 12:22:14
The 84 papers and yeah. 2025-03-11 12:22:17
Yeah, I think this board needs to make a motion. 2025-03-11 12:22:20
And in terms of selecting. 2025-03-11 12:22:23
It is that you want, so I would make the motion to move. 2025-03-11 12:22:26
Forward Pinkerton. 2025-03-11 12:22:29
OK. 2025-03-11 12:22:29
All in favor. 2025-03-11 12:22:32
Anybody opposed? Motion carried. 2025-03-11 12:22:35
And so the process is left. 2025-03-11 12:22:47
70 could be used for anything, yeah. 2025-03-11 12:22:53
Towards the recession. 2025-03-11 12:22:56
That wasn't clear to me before. OK, that was I'm sorry. 2025-03-11 12:22:59
After the last meeting I went to their. 2025-03-11 12:23:02
And yes, that money, they just said we can. 2025-03-11 12:23:05
They're not putting it towards the building. 2025-03-11 12:23:08
My understanding and I guess just one other thing to add. 2025-03-11 12:23:11
To the building. So John, you know we get. 2025-03-11 12:23:14
Talk to the current tenants and they're going to be but they're. 2025-03-11 12:23:17
They're leaving all the all the things that are we. 2025-03-11 12:23:20
Saw in that building they're going to be leaving all of that so that. 2025-03-11 12:23:23
All you know helpful for. 2025-03-11 12:23:26
Saving money and costs. 2025-03-11 12:23:29
Desk, chairs and also in the building. 2025-03-11 12:23:32
Purpose. We're not going to have a tenant to deal with in there. 2025-03-11 12:23:35
We know when they're moving out. 2025-03-11 12:23:38
John acted like it was soon so. 2025-03-11 12:23:41
February 28th. I'm yeah. February 20. I thought they were. 2025-03-11 12:23:44
Gonna be gone by March 1st but I don't know if they are officially. 2025-03-11 12:23:47
Shortly but. 2025-03-11 12:23:50
OK. 2025-03-11 12:23:56
Yeah, I just want to make sure they were going to be affected by. 2025-03-11 12:23:59
John told me they were. 2025-03-11 12:24:02
Yeah, OK, yeah, he told me they were supposed to be, but yeah. 2025-03-11 12:24:05
OK. 2025-03-11 12:24:08
Anybody else want to say anything about the building? 2025-03-11 12:24:11
***. 2025-03-11 12:24:14
OK, on to new business. 2025-03-11 12:24:17
Coronary, please. 2025-03-11 12:24:20
Yeah. 2025-03-11 12:24:23
We have a. 2025-03-11 12:24:26
Issue with the corner I. 2025-03-11 12:24:29
Spoken with the new corner, I think 4 on 4 separate. 2025-03-11 12:24:32
January 1st this issue. 2025-03-11 12:24:38
There was a guy who was. 2025-03-11 12:24:41
Under Hospice care, we went through the cardiologist's office. 2025-03-11 12:24:44
And died basically. 2025-03-11 12:24:47
Cardiologist's office he was. 2025-03-11 12:24:50
Was not coded or attempted to do. 2025-03-11 12:24:53
Patient because he's been hospital status. 2025-03-11 12:24:56
But the office didn't really know what to do. 2025-03-11 12:24:59
And so the office called the coroner. 2025-03-11 12:25:02
Who didn't do anything. 2025-03-11 12:25:05
The Funeral Home wouldn't pick up the body because the. 2025-03-11 12:25:08
Corner didn't release the body and this. 2025-03-11 12:25:11
A doctor's office called the police. 2025-03-11 12:25:14
Who came and said, well, this is not a crime or. 2025-03-11 12:25:17
We're not involved. 2025-03-11 12:25:20
On the office who had a. 2025-03-11 12:25:23
Dead patients put a sheet over the. 2025-03-11 12:25:26
Patients hiding into a wheelchair and if you. 2025-03-11 12:25:29
From the office in professional art. 2025-03-11 12:25:32
Building across the. 2025-03-11 12:25:35
Through the hospital and parked him outside of security. 2025-03-11 12:25:38
To get a burial transit form. 2025-03-11 12:25:41
Who? 2025-03-11 12:25:44
There were several requests. 2025-03-11 12:25:48
Did everyone here see weakened Bernie? 2025-03-11 12:25:50
Very reminiscent. 2025-03-11 12:25:53
So. 2025-03-11 12:25:57
I got involved once. The security was there and they didn't know what. 2025-03-11 12:26:00
Going on. So we talked. 2025-03-11 12:26:02
Up in the corner, we we hope that we. 2025-03-11 12:26:05
Have corrected this issue. 2025-03-11 12:26:09
We've had issues in the past with a. 2025-03-11 12:26:12
A corner a few years ago. 2025-03-11 12:26:15
And you know, we had looked into. 2025-03-11 12:26:17
Trying to establish. 2025-03-11 12:26:20
Parameters for them is the health option we have to. 2025-03-11 12:26:24
In the health department, I have to, ultimately. 2025-03-11 12:26:27
Certificate from the health department also. 2025-03-11 12:26:30
Have to maintain records of all the deaths so. 2025-03-11 12:26:33
So we do have, you know, input into what. 2025-03-11 12:26:36
Goes on, but there isn't. 2025-03-11 12:26:39
Really any way to directly approach? 2025-03-11 12:26:42
Corner issues with an outside agency other than approaching the corner. 2025-03-11 12:26:45
Themselves, themselves, themselves. We've done that. 2025-03-11 12:26:48
So we'll see if this is going to become an. 2025-03-11 12:26:51
This is kind of. 2025-03-11 12:26:54
Tom Macab. 2025-03-11 12:26:57
To to Really. 2025-03-11 12:27:00
You know, something could easily it could have been. 2025-03-11 12:27:03
Easily released by the corner the. 2025-03-11 12:27:06
Funeral Home would have gone to the office and picked the body up. 2025-03-11 12:27:09
And that would have been the end of it had the coin. 2025-03-11 12:27:12
What was the coroner's reason for not releasing? 2025-03-11 12:27:18
He thought the office would just know. 2025-03-11 12:27:21
If he said that they were going to do an autopsy, that that. 2025-03-11 12:27:24
Then the body was released. 2025-03-11 12:27:27
And you know, you know, we, we, we had a. 2025-03-11 12:27:30
A long talk about how office depths are new. 2025-03-11 12:27:33
You know, at least involve a. 2025-03-11 12:27:36
It it it really was terminology. 2025-03-11 12:27:42
And and then I think it it. 2025-03-11 12:27:45
Sort of devolved down to the person who's getting a lot of calls. 2025-03-11 12:27:48
They thought they were done and we're going to do anything and even the police try. 2025-03-11 12:27:51
You know, but they didn't without a crime. 2025-03-11 12:27:54
Well, the Funeral Home could have. 2025-03-11 12:27:57
The phone call and called the corner and said this body really? 2025-03-11 12:28:00
And been done, I mean. 2025-03-11 12:28:03
Like a lot of people. 2025-03-11 12:28:05
MMM, yeah. 2025-03-11 12:28:06
Yeah, it was. It was one of the things for this. 2025-03-11 12:28:09
Back over the hospital. 2025-03-11 12:28:12
Part of the part of the deal was the corner. 2025-03-11 12:28:15
An unusual circumstance which should be there. 2025-03-11 12:28:18
You know that's what they do is they do nothing. 2025-03-11 12:28:21
Unusual circumstances here was the case where clearly. 2025-03-11 12:28:24
Did not know what to do and at that point you should have stepped up. 2025-03-11 12:28:30
And said, OK guys, let me make a couple calls for you. 2025-03-11 12:28:33
How it's done and that doesn't happen. 2025-03-11 12:28:36
True. 2025-03-11 12:28:39
Yeah. So we're we're hopefully that. 2025-03-11 12:28:42
That issue has been addressed and we're going that route. 2025-03-11 12:28:45
And this is sort of ahead. 2025-03-11 12:28:48
For you guys, was the patient in a constant? 2025-03-11 12:28:51
The patient was unaccompanied. 2025-03-11 12:28:54
Treated like an in home depth, yeah, it's just. 2025-03-11 12:29:03
Been a little more tender. Yeah, they got a a water. 2025-03-11 12:29:09
From the hospital about the guy. 2025-03-11 12:29:12
You know, hide into a wheelchair outside the security office. 2025-03-11 12:29:15
It's a very public place, you know, in the afternoon. 2025-03-11 12:29:18
And yeah. 2025-03-11 12:29:21
In the future, we're keeping a close eye on cause. 2025-03-11 12:29:30
Of death and things like that, we get a. 2025-03-11 12:29:33
Function. 2025-03-11 12:29:36
Should also probably bring up that all these. 2025-03-11 12:29:39
A corner from the previous. 2025-03-11 12:29:42
Were terminated because this is a. 2025-03-11 12:29:45
Not only a new coroner who has had a job before, but all. 2025-03-11 12:29:48
To his administration. 2025-03-11 12:29:54
Old business. 2025-03-11 12:30:06
I have some old business. This is a state. 2025-03-11 12:30:09
So we talked about the septic. 2025-03-11 12:30:12
System thing and so. 2025-03-11 12:30:15
Rick has another alternative. 2025-03-11 12:30:18
Which we're having a small executive session for which. 2025-03-11 12:30:21
Only certain people can go because it's unpublished. 2025-03-11 12:30:24
And then after that, we'll be coming up and after we. 2025-03-11 12:30:27
We will get back to you all on an altern. 2025-03-11 12:30:33
Replace. 2025-03-11 12:30:42
Can't get it done any other way. 2025-03-11 12:30:45
We don't know that all. 2025-03-11 12:30:51
Details where it's going to explain it to us and. 2025-03-11 12:30:54
In which we can only have small groups of people. 2025-03-11 12:30:57
And yes, because it would be considered a meeting. 2025-03-11 12:31:00
If we. 2025-03-11 12:31:03
Held it otherwise with three members of this board it. 2025-03-11 12:31:06
Not considered a meeting. 2025-03-11 12:31:09
What we're trying to do is to get. 2025-03-11 12:31:12
Members of the board. 2025-03-11 12:31:15
The health department together and. 2025-03-11 12:31:18
Discuss all the nuances. 2025-03-11 12:31:21
And it is complicated and drive. 2025-03-11 12:31:24
Now we're talking about that before the meeting. Umm. 2025-03-11 12:31:27
There's two different statutes that allow you to. 2025-03-11 12:31:30
Set up. 2025-03-11 12:31:33
District and. 2025-03-11 12:31:36
That's Title 13 and Title 36. 2025-03-11 12:31:39
Each have different ways that you can set up. 2025-03-11 12:31:42
About the district and pros and cons. 2025-03-11 12:31:45
In terms of. 2025-03-11 12:31:48
To use and also. 2025-03-11 12:31:51
Considerations that need to be made with regard. 2025-03-11 12:31:54
To the size of the territory. 2025-03-11 12:31:57
That you're going to bring into the district and. 2025-03-11 12:32:00
All these need to be vetted with regard. 2025-03-11 12:32:03
To the pros and the cons so that we can make it. 2025-03-11 12:32:06
Informative and. 2025-03-11 12:32:09
An appropriate decision with regards to moving forward. 2025-03-11 12:32:12
With. 2025-03-11 12:32:15
District we want and how we want that district. 2025-03-11 12:32:18
To operate and so I got a lot of. 2025-03-11 12:32:21
You know this and that. 2025-03-11 12:32:24
To consider when it comes to going through the. 2025-03-11 12:32:27
So that's. 2025-03-11 12:32:30
The whole. 2025-03-11 12:32:30
Purpose of getting us together and it. 2025-03-11 12:32:33
It's too complicated to sit down and do this and. 2025-03-11 12:32:37
This setting and I prefer doing. 2025-03-11 12:32:39
Things in a public meeting. 2025-03-11 12:32:42
Through experience of. 2025-03-11 12:32:46
I found that we need. 2025-03-11 12:32:48
You take the whole day off if we're going to do that. 2025-03-11 12:32:52
So it's better to get. 2025-03-11 12:32:54
A group together and invent all this. 2025-03-11 12:32:58
And then expand that to the full. 2025-03-11 12:33:01
Let the full ball. 2025-03-11 12:33:03
Ask questions. 2025-03-11 12:33:06
And we can go forward from there. 2025-03-11 12:33:10
They're the ones that would pass the order. 2025-03-11 12:33:16
On Title 36. 2025-03-11 12:33:22
Title 13 is a different setup where you're filing. 2025-03-11 12:33:25
Petition with idam. 2025-03-11 12:33:28
And going through just a different stack. 2025-03-11 12:33:31
The way I. 2025-03-11 12:33:34
Even it was titled 36 the ultimate you know. 2025-03-11 12:33:37
The commissioners have the option to decide it themselves. 2025-03-11 12:33:43
Set up a wastewater district and delegate it to them. 2025-03-11 12:33:46
But even if they do that. 2025-03-11 12:33:49
I'm sure veto power is not the right. 2025-03-11 12:33:52
Term for it, but the state can still say no. 2025-03-11 12:33:55
We've read your ordinance. We've read your plan. We don't like it. 2025-03-11 12:33:58
Start over. And So what we want to do for the? 2025-03-11 12:34:01
People who, you know, weren't willing to do this right the first time. 2025-03-11 12:34:04
You know, for the people who are going to want to start the. 2025-03-11 12:34:07
System pretty much as soon as the wastewater. 2025-03-11 12:34:10
District is in a factor of the commissioners approved. 2025-03-11 12:34:13
And so at that point, we don't want to have a scenario where we. 2025-03-11 12:34:16
Ongoing construction projects with the state. 2025-03-11 12:34:19
Declining on their review of the order. 2025-03-11 12:34:22
So we want to try to get things to organize it all. 2025-03-11 12:34:25
Want to make sure that we can actually give these people off? 2025-03-11 12:34:31
A proper legal Go ahead. 2025-03-11 12:34:34
And get the project started. 2025-03-11 12:34:37
We're looking at a handful of places currently. 2025-03-11 12:34:40
Cast is why the net is possible to specific up to. 2025-03-11 12:34:46
Yeah, I think that the. 2025-03-11 12:34:49
We talked to the commissioners, they sort. 2025-03-11 12:34:52
Boned his back. 2025-03-11 12:34:55
In fact, find workshops, we do workshop and then. 2025-03-11 12:34:58
By April, we should be able. 2025-03-11 12:35:01
Hopefully you can go out to speak with our project and and just. 2025-03-11 12:35:07
To kind of tell you what kind of. 2025-03-11 12:35:10
And sinking through the process. 2025-03-11 12:35:13
And looking at the complete statute with regards to a. 2025-03-11 12:35:16
Projections that you can get and. 2025-03-11 12:35:19
Trying to limit the. 2025-03-11 12:35:22
The ability of getting the. 2025-03-11 12:35:25
Because that adds to the. 2025-03-11 12:35:28
Kind that you have to go through the process and see. 2025-03-11 12:35:31
To me that. 2025-03-11 12:35:34
A happy place to land might be. 2025-03-11 12:35:37
Because we've got a range of anywhere from the South. 2025-03-11 12:35:40
Seven properties that we have right now that you could make a difference. 2025-03-11 12:35:43
Street all the way to. 2025-03-11 12:35:46
The whole unincorporated county. 2025-03-11 12:35:49
But this flow can only go to. 2025-03-11 12:35:52
A. What's it called? 2025-03-11 12:35:55
Unrestricted, Unrestricted waterway. 2025-03-11 12:35:58
Of which there's only one that we know of, and it's really not. 2025-03-11 12:36:01
An area that's in place. 2025-03-11 12:36:04
But but it is again it's another another project. 2025-03-11 12:36:07
Period. Another another hoops to make. 2025-03-11 12:36:10
So if we're able to identify all the prop. 2025-03-11 12:36:13
Properties that could take advantage of that. 2025-03-11 12:36:16
Then where? Where? 2025-03-11 12:36:19
Remedying the amount of objections that we. 2025-03-11 12:36:22
Week and a half because there's going to be a huge. 2025-03-11 12:36:25
Accounting that this doesn't apply to. 2025-03-11 12:36:28
That when you have the authority to establish fees. 2025-03-11 12:36:31
On these people they're going to come out of the woodwork with. 2025-03-11 12:36:34
Regards to that, I can just tell you. 2025-03-11 12:36:37
And so if we're able to limit. 2025-03-11 12:36:40
The exposure to the. 2025-03-11 12:36:43
That we can help with regards to this district. 2025-03-11 12:36:46
Were able to identify those and I think we can. 2025-03-11 12:36:49
And say OK, here's the layout of the property give. 2025-03-11 12:36:52
Exam specific notice with regards to that. 2025-03-11 12:36:55
I think we're limiting our fault. 2025-03-11 12:36:58
Here to objections and. 2025-03-11 12:37:01
Additional time. 2025-03-11 12:37:01
And we're able to hopefully. 2025-03-11 12:37:04
Get this thing through for the people that you. 2025-03-11 12:37:07
And have is available for. 2025-03-11 12:37:10
The people that don't need it now, but me in the future. 2025-03-11 12:37:13
Well, I'm author. 2025-03-11 12:37:16
Government and limited boards so. 2025-03-11 12:37:19
Can do this without another layer of bureaucracy. 2025-03-11 12:37:22
I support that and. 2025-03-11 12:37:25
That's the whole concept. 2025-03-11 12:37:28
Anybody else have anything else? 2025-03-11 12:37:31
Anybody have anything? 2025-03-11 12:37:37
I need a motion to enter in the meeting. 2025-03-11 12:37:40
Thank you people. Thank you. 2025-03-11 12:37:46
OK. 2025-03-11 12:38:07
Right now it. 2025-03-11 12:38:13
Got back to the Commission there, so you know. 2025-03-11 12:38:17
I guess they wanted. 2025-03-11 12:38:20
Have the board to know that they are very. 2025-03-11 12:38:23
Call me if you have any questions. 2025-03-11 12:38:25
We haven't received any phone calls and now we're told we're not. 2025-03-11 12:38:29
OK. 2025-03-11 12:38:38
Well. 2025-03-11 12:38:43

Anyone from the public would like to speak about? 2025-03-11 18:02:13
Anything before we get into? 2025-03-11 18:02:16
Our agenda. 2025-03-11 18:02:19
At this time, we're going to open up a public hearing on an Ord. 2025-03-11 18:02:22
Improving the issuance of general obligation bonds. 2025-03-11 18:02:25
The purpose of this is for the. 2025-03-11 18:02:28
Purchase of the Health Department building. 2025-03-11 18:02:31
Is there anyone from the public that would like to speak? 2025-03-11 18:02:34
For or against the issue? 2025-03-11 18:02:37
Of the bond. 2025-03-11 18:02:40
Going once, going twice. 2025-03-11 18:02:43
Alright, seeing. 2025-03-11 18:02:46
None. We will close the public hearing. 2025-03-11 18:02:49
We'll move on to old business. 2025-03-11 18:02:52
Item number one. 2025-03-11 18:02:55
Good evening. It's good to see you. 2025-03-11 18:03:01
This body, I don't think I've seen you all since. 2025-03-11 18:03:04
The this new body was formed, so it's not. 2025-03-11 18:03:07
I am Judge Maria Greenberg. 2025-03-11 18:03:10
I have two grants that we. 2025-03-11 18:03:13
The first being an additional appropriation for personnel. 2025-03-11 18:03:16
To round out three positions that. 2025-03-11 18:03:19
Work with the Veterans Court of Southern Indiana. 2025-03-11 18:03:22
For the duration of 2025. 2025-03-11 18:03:25
So that's what that additional appropriate. 2025-03-11 18:03:28
And that's why I delayed it too. 2025-03-11 18:03:31
I want to make sure the figures were correct so they're less than what I have. 2025-03-11 18:03:34
Originally advertised, but the items that amount. 2025-03-11 18:03:37
Here are accurate. 2025-03-11 18:03:40
On #1 #2. 2025-03-11 18:03:43
Is a transfer from a. 2025-03-11 18:03:46
Another grant fund for the Family Navigation Grant. 2025-03-11 18:03:49
So that we can go ahead and continue on. 2025-03-11 18:03:52
On with collecting the data through that program. 2025-03-11 18:03:55
Grace of this year. Motion to approve. 2025-03-11 18:03:58
Prove 1A and B. 2025-03-11 18:04:01

All in favor say aye. 2025-03-11 18:04:13
Thank you. 2025-03-11 18:04:16
All right. 2025-03-11 18:04:19
New business number one is the Ordinance 20. 2025-03-11 18:04:22
25-O3 in order for the Floyd County Council Office. 2025-03-11 18:04:25
Authorizing the issuance of general obligation bonds and bond. 2025-03-11 18:04:28
Anticipation notes of the county to finance the. 2025-03-11 18:04:31
Compartment building project and incidental expenses appropriate. 2025-03-11 18:04:34
During the proceeds thereof and approving certain matters re. 2025-03-11 18:04:37
Made it there too. 2025-03-11 18:04:40
Here Mr. Brad Bingham online so. 2025-03-11 18:04:43
Good evening, members of the Council. Tim Berry with Crow Penny. 2025-03-11 18:04:52
Advisor on this? 2025-03-11 18:04:55
Project and Brad Bingham is here. 2025-03-11 18:04:59
Thornburg Online. 2025-03-11 18:05:01
Fred, do you wanna walk through the ordinance? 2025-03-11 18:05:04
And then we can talk about sure, the other. 2025-03-11 18:05:07
Yeah. Thanks, Tim. Happy to do. 2025-03-11 18:05:10
That and I I can hear everyone but. 2025-03-11 18:05:13
See things that hopefully focus in here and see me. 2025-03-11 18:05:17
Fine. Tell me if you have anything. OK, fantastic. 2025-03-11 18:05:19
As you mentioned and and Councillor Shoreman. 2025-03-11 18:05:23
The bond ordinance is for the. 2025-03-11 18:05:26
Purchase of the existing building to be used for the. 2025-03-11 18:05:29
Health Department. The ordinance would authorize the issue to. 2025-03-11 18:05:32
General obligation bonds in a maximum principal amount not to be. 2025-03-11 18:05:35
$3.2 million and. 2025-03-11 18:05:38
Pending the issuance of those bonds, it would authorize. 2025-03-11 18:05:41
The issuance of bond anticipation though, so bond. 2025-03-11 18:05:44
Face note for band is just a fancy. 2025-03-11 18:05:47
Work for interim financing and. 2025-03-11 18:05:50
Previous discussions to my understanding that the Council. 2025-03-11 18:05:53
Would like to do issue a ban for this. 2025-03-11 18:05:56
Financing with the intent that you're going. 2025-03-11 18:05:59
Free up money from your general fund that. 2025-03-11 18:06:02
To amortize the band so that bonds would never be issued. 2025-03-11 18:06:05
And that's perfectly fine to do, but. 2025-03-11 18:06:08
In order to abandon, you still have to authorize the the openly. 2025-03-11 18:06:11
The issuance of the bonds in case that would ever be necessary. 2025-03-11 18:06:14
That's really what this ordinance does, is it? 2025-03-11 18:06:17
Both arms and bands. Umm the. 2025-03-11 18:06:20
Proceeds will be used to finance the purchase of the existing. 2025-03-11 18:06:23
Building offers a small amount to be. 2025-03-11 18:06:26
Renovations to make it usable as the county. 2025-03-11 18:06:29
Health department facility, we also. 2025-03-11 18:06:32
Allow us to do what's called capitalized interest. 2025-03-11 18:06:35
So again, knowing that your overall plan of. 2025-03-11 18:06:38
Finances to shift some expenses from your general fund to. 2025-03-11 18:06:41
Public safety with fund. This is going to give me time. 2025-03-11 18:06:44
Time and doing capitalized interest gives you time to kind of figure out. 2025-03-11 18:06:47
And the shipping those expenses before? 2025-03-11 18:06:50
And start finding a source of revenue to pay pay the interest on. 2025-03-11 18:06:53
On the on the band and then again the proceeds because. 2025-03-11 18:06:56
Softly be used to pay the issuance for the. 2025-03-11 18:06:59
Transaction the. 2025-03-11 18:07:02
The ordinance also makes an additional appropriation, so. 2025-03-11 18:07:05
Again, because this amount wasn't included in your existing budget that. 2025-03-11 18:07:08
The purpose of the hearing was to allow folks. 2025-03-11 18:07:11
Asked about this additional appropriation, but it does allow. 2025-03-11 18:07:14
Make this the additional preparation $3.2 million at. 2025-03-11 18:07:17
Again, would be funded with the proceeds of the financing. 2025-03-11 18:07:20
Together with any investment earnings on those proceeds. 2025-03-11 18:07:23
The last last point to kind of point out in this, which is. 2025-03-11 18:07:26
Normally by anticipation, notes are secured. 2025-03-11 18:07:29
So we buy the proceeds of the bonds if and when issued. 2025-03-11 18:07:32
This ordinance does authorize. 2025-03-11 18:07:35
And the backup, the ability to levy. 2025-03-11 18:07:38
Tax to pay interest on the band if that were next. 2025-03-11 18:07:41
Necessary. And again, it's kind of because of the unique nature. 2025-03-11 18:07:44
This financing that we put that in here because. 2025-03-11 18:07:47
The Perks of the Band is going to. 2025-03-11 18:07:50
And how are they gonna get paid interest every six? 2025-03-11 18:07:53
Months until until the maturity of the band and. 2025-03-11 18:07:56
So again, we all understand the intent is to use your. 2025-03-11 18:07:59
Freedom, you know, general fund cash flow, but. 2025-03-11 18:08:02
Credit standpoint, it gets kind of hard for a bank or. 2025-03-11 18:08:05
Credit analyst to review that especially when when. 2025-03-11 18:08:08
That overall shift in the expenses may not have. 2025-03-11 18:08:11
Yeah. So again the the property tax levy. 2025-03-11 18:08:14
They backstop and pay interest on the case. 2025-03-11 18:08:17
That that would be necessary, but again, I don't know. 2025-03-11 18:08:20
Necessarily to state happiness, I'll pause. 2025-03-11 18:08:23
They're happy and quiet to know that, uh. 2025-03-11 18:08:26
This is not what I am. 2025-03-11 18:08:32
Happening. I anticipated our tax. 2025-03-11 18:08:35
Have an opinion? I anticipated that pay. 2025-03-11 18:08:38
Interest, I thought that's what we talked about that. 2025-03-11 18:08:41
We were going to pay the interest as we go. 2025-03-11 18:08:44
Can we still do that? Oh, we can. 2025-03-11 18:08:47
That is exactly what would be anticipated. 2025-03-11 18:08:50

Health department aren't being kept up to speed on all new. 2025-03-11 12:04:00
Development with the new building. 2025-03-11 12:04:03
And I just. 2025-03-11 12:04:06
Just wanted to comment that I sent out an e-mail. 2025-03-11 12:04:09
With regards to this. 2025-03-11 12:04:12
Particular issue and I sent it out to. 2025-03-11 12:04:15

And Charlotte Bass. 2025-03-11 12:04:24
And you know. 2025-03-11 12:04:27
Purpose of the e-mail was communication. 2025-03-11 12:04:30
To the board and the health department with. 2025-03-11 12:04:33
Regard to the status of where we were at. 2025-03-11 12:04:36
And basically. 2025-03-11 12:04:39
In regards to the e-mail. 2025-03-11 12:04:42
What I laid out is what the Commissioners are doing. 2025-03-11 12:04:45
And specifically. 2025-03-11 12:04:48
Buying the building for the health department. 2025-03-11 12:04:52
They're going to provide 1.1 million. 2025-03-11 12:04:55
For improvements. 2025-03-11 12:04:58
To that building. 2025-03-11 12:05:00
Uh. 2025-03-11 12:05:01
And of course, that's for budgetary purposes. 2025-03-11 12:05:04
For the Floyd County Health Department, so. 2025-03-11 12:05:07
They know what they have in terms. 2025-03-11 12:05:10
Being able to move forward that way. 2025-03-11 12:05:13
1.1 million obviously plus whatever. 2025-03-11 12:05:16
Additional monies that the Floyd County Health Department. 2025-03-11 12:05:19
Has in terms of being able to. 2025-03-11 12:05:22
Umm add. 2025-03-11 12:05:25
That that they have in their coffers. 2025-03-11 12:05:28
I indicated in the e-mail. 2025-03-11 12:05:31
Of that we expect the. 2025-03-11 12:05:34
Clothing on the property to be. 2025-03-11 12:05:37
Towards the end of April or early. 2025-03-11 12:05:40
May I indicate? 2025-03-11 12:05:43
With regard. 2025-03-11 12:05:46
Floyd County Health Department What their. 2025-03-11 12:05:49
Their responsibilities were and that is. 2025-03-11 12:05:52
You know, make sure that. 2025-03-11 12:05:55
You have identified all your wants. 2025-03-11 12:05:58
With regards to this building. 2025-03-11 12:06:01
So that that can be built into the plan. 2025-03-11 12:06:04
The process that. 2025-03-11 12:06:07
That I laid out with regards to this. 2025-03-11 12:06:10
Recommended Basically a bottoms up. 2025-03-11 12:06:13
Umm, that. 2025-03-11 12:06:16
What the Floyd County Health Department. 2025-03-11 12:06:19
And board needs to do to deter. 2025-03-11 12:06:22
What type of design space is needed? 2025-03-11 12:06:25
Umm, to be able for the. 2025-03-11 12:06:28
Employees to do their. 2025-03-11 12:06:31
Job effectively. 2025-03-11 12:06:34
And. 2025-03-11 12:06:34
Plants needed to be developed. 2025-03-11 12:06:37
With the architect with that in mind. 2025-03-11 12:06:40
And so you know, I could read. 2025-03-11 12:06:47
Through it. But you know, I think it was clear in. 2025-03-11 12:06:49
To what the? 2025-03-11 12:06:52
Where what the status was with re. 2025-03-11 12:06:55
Regards to this in terms of communicating with. 2025-03-11 12:06:58
Between the Commissioners and this Board. 2025-03-11 12:07:01
And the Floyd County Health Department. 2025-03-11 12:07:04
And the Commissioners? 2025-03-11 12:07:07
Are not involved in any other way shape. 2025-03-11 12:07:10
Perform with regard to the deep. 2025-03-11 12:07:13
Of the improvements that's left to this board. 2025-03-11 12:07:16
And the Floyd County Health Department. 2025-03-11 12:07:19
And so the whole purpose of this was not only. 2025-03-11 12:07:23
To inform, but also to say hey. 2025-03-11 12:07:25
We're going to be closing this thing. 2025-03-11 12:07:29
In short order, if you. 2025-03-11 12:07:31
Well, and so you really need to be. 2025-03-11 12:07:35
Moving forward, with regards to putting the. 2025-03-11 12:07:38
Designed together so that. 2025-03-11 12:07:41
You know that that thing is built just to the. 2025-03-11 12:07:44
Effects of what you need to be able to do your job. 2025-03-11 12:07:47
Effectively and you know making sure that all. 2025-03-11 12:07:50
There, the twos are there. 2025-03-11 12:07:56
That you got once that it's in your budget? 2025-03-11 12:07:59
You can add to the once. 2025-03-11 12:08:02
And prioritize those so that. 2025-03-11 12:08:05
What I laid out in my memo SO. 2025-03-11 12:08:08
You know that came the same month as. 2025-03-11 12:08:11
The board meeting so I think in terms. 2025-03-11 12:08:14
Of informing, you know, I think the. 2025-03-11 12:08:17
Commissioners have done their job with regards to. 2025-03-11 12:08:20
To going forward, I will. 2025-03-11 12:08:23
As the last comment, just say that. 2025-03-11 12:08:26
Doctor Kneel has advised me. 2025-03-11 12:08:29
Advise all of you that. 2025-03-11 12:08:32
That. 2025-03-11 12:08:35
You can contact him anytime with. 2025-03-11 12:08:38
To any issues that that. 2025-03-11 12:08:41
That you have or that you want to discuss. 2025-03-11 12:08:44
With the commissioners and Doctor Knabel. 2025-03-11 12:08:47
Says I'm open for any communications. 2025-03-11 12:08:50
He said. I haven't received a phone call from anybody. 2025-03-11 12:08:53
In 20 4th Ave. I'm basically available. 2025-03-11 12:08:56
For any communication. 2025-03-11 12:08:59
That somebody wants to make with me. 2025-03-11 12:09:02
And the other commissioners are the same and I can tell you if there's personal. 2025-03-11 12:09:05
Experience and working with them, they take off. 2025-03-11 12:09:08
Phone calls so if this board has any quest. 2025-03-11 12:09:11
With regard to where the Commissioners. 2025-03-11 12:09:14
Stand or who's doing what or whatever. 2025-03-11 12:09:17
I'm available, the commissioners are at. 2025-03-11 12:09:20
Available. 2025-03-11 12:09:23
And that is the same with everybody. 2025-03-11 12:09:26
Everybody else that has an interest in this. 2025-03-11 12:09:29
Background noise starts now. 2025-03-11 12:09:29
Make those comments that you know the commissioners are. 2025-03-11 12:09:32
Are doing their best to move. 2025-03-11 12:09:35
Forward with regards to this process. 2025-03-11 12:09:38
And they're not going to be in the middle. 2025-03-11 12:09:41
Specifically, the design. 2025-03-11 12:09:44
Where the plugs are going to be? 2025-03-11 12:09:47
Whatever the case may be. 2025-03-11 12:09:50
Foot with good cover under the building update it's like. 2025-03-11 12:09:54
Clarify all this because we have. 2025-03-11 12:09:56
Yeah, I feel like anyway. 2025-03-11 12:09:59
What was in the minutes? 2025-03-11 12:10:02
Was one of those cons. That was one. 2025-03-11 12:10:05
Person's comment. 2025-03-11 12:10:08
Sam, he walks in. The minute I got it, I think it was. 2025-03-11 12:10:12
Important to respond to what is in. 2025-03-11 12:10:14
Minutes that you know an allegation. 2025-03-11 12:10:18
Are not communicating well. 2025-03-11 12:10:20
I'm kind of that. That person that is. 2025-03-11 12:10:24
Representing both boards and statutorily and. 2025-03-11 12:10:27
Put in that position. 2025-03-11 12:10:30
And so you know. 2025-03-11 12:10:33
It's a balancing act in terms of going. 2025-03-11 12:10:36
Back and forth, but there's very clear lines that are. 2025-03-11 12:10:39
Wrong here as to who's doing what and that's why. 2025-03-11 12:10:42
To get the e-mail app so I could lay that. 2025-03-11 12:10:45
So that there's no misconception as to. 2025-03-11 12:10:48
What? And I think Christie laid that out at the last. 2025-03-11 12:10:51
Meeting also, I think she said that the commissioners are. 2025-03-11 12:10:54
Or not involved in micro. 2025-03-11 12:10:57
From managing what's going on here, they're buying a building for you that. 2025-03-11 12:11:00
What they're doing and they're going to provide 1.1 million. 2025-03-11 12:11:03
That might have been that might have been some. 2025-03-11 12:11:06
You know, I talked about, I don't know if we actually talked about it in the meeting, right? 2025-03-11 12:11:09
Like I I came up here before the meeting and we talked. 2025-03-11 12:11:12
Yeah. I don't know if they got into the meeting OK. All right. 2025-03-11 12:11:15
Rick, I've got one quick question. So, uh, so with. 2025-03-11 12:11:18
That in mind, I mean at what point can. 2025-03-11 12:11:21
The board and Doctor Harrison Char. 2025-03-11 12:11:24
Start working with the architect to start. 2025-03-11 12:11:27
Start doing the design phase even though we don't own the building. 2025-03-11 12:11:30
Yeah, yesterday, yeah, yeah. 2025-03-11 12:11:33
Can I have last name that would be appropriate for us to have a? 2025-03-11 12:11:36
You know a a product. 2025-03-11 12:11:39
Maybe not a public meeting to start. 2025-03-11 12:11:42
I'm currently working on. 2025-03-11 12:11:45
You know, designer, architect is is we have to. 2025-03-11 12:11:48
I don't remember what the answer was. I asked the question but I can't remember what. 2025-03-11 12:11:51
What the answer was if we had to get RFP? 2025-03-11 12:11:54
To get that process started because I know that takes a while. 2025-03-11 12:11:57
So that's stuff we were gonna cover under Building Update. 2025-03-11 12:12:00
OK, OK, OK. Well, we can start. 2025-03-11 12:12:03
I can go into more detail about the process then. 2025-03-11 12:12:06
OK, I got you. OK. 2025-03-11 12:12:09
So should we take that comment out? 2025-03-11 12:12:12
Well, I think there's a motion on the floor too. 2025-03-11 12:12:15
To approve the management, Rick is giving his update then. 2025-03-11 12:12:18
My motion still saying. 2025-03-11 12:12:21
That is a minute, Yeah, sure. 2025-03-11 12:12:24
OK. Second, a few seconds. Yeah, OK. 2025-03-11 12:12:27
Nobody. OK. 2025-03-11 12:12:30
And carries the minutes are approved. All right, on to budget. 2025-03-11 12:12:33
Does anybody have any questions about budget? 2025-03-11 12:12:36
Nobody has any questions about the budget. 2025-03-11 12:12:45
What do we? 2025-03-11 12:13:00
Doing with it. 2025-03-11 12:13:03
This is a separate vet. 2025-03-11 12:13:22
From the seasonal first. 2025-03-11 12:13:25
OK. 2025-03-11 12:13:34
There's no real plan. 2025-03-11 12:13:36
To go with an avian vaccine at this point. 2025-03-11 12:13:40
There have. 2025-03-11 12:13:43
Sense of attention. Recently you said that state level for the. 2025-03-11 12:13:46
Flew through the occasion. 2025-03-11 12:13:49
Mercer County, Ohio. 2025-03-11 12:13:52
And they're up to human. 2025-03-11 12:13:55
Cases now spread out across the US, but. 2025-03-11 12:13:58
And I bring it up. 2025-03-11 12:14:01
Because we had a case over the weekend at the hosp. 2025-03-11 12:14:04
Yesterday, so there. 2025-03-11 12:14:09
There have been the elegant terms to be popular. 2025-03-11 12:14:13
Two populations of poultry in Washington. 2025-03-11 12:14:16
The county is the closest bird. 2025-03-11 12:14:19
Before we could just go on about. 2025-03-11 12:14:22
I need we need to go back up to budget and improve those. 2025-03-11 12:14:25
I need a motion. 2025-03-11 12:14:31
So moved. 2025-03-11 12:14:34
OK. Any opposed? OK, go ahead. Just. 2025-03-11 12:14:37
OK, go on. 2025-03-11 12:14:40
Oh yeah, that's all. 2025-03-11 12:15:01
And 1:00 and 2:00. 2025-03-11 12:15:04
That's awesome. Thank. 2025-03-11 12:15:10
Anything more on the? 2025-03-11 12:15:13
H5 N one Doctor Harris No. 2025-03-11 12:15:16
OK, building update. 2025-03-11 12:15:19
So we're just gonna cover what we're gonna. 2025-03-11 12:15:22
Yes, the the building is good. 2025-03-11 12:15:25
Christie lit a fire under. 2025-03-11 12:15:28
Meeting to get that done sooner than later. 2025-03-11 12:15:31
And yes, the health. 2025-03-11 12:15:34
In particular, the people that run the health department. 2025-03-11 12:15:37
Are going to have the most input on what you want that for. 2025-03-11 12:15:40
Yes, we need to hire an art. 2025-03-11 12:15:43
Architects, now the architect we hire. 2025-03-11 12:15:46
There doesn't have to be the architect that we ultimately. 2025-03-11 12:15:49
Because once we get. 2025-03-11 12:15:52
Plans and you guys have everything that you have. 2025-03-11 12:15:55
Have to have that, you have to have the generator way. 2025-03-11 12:15:58
The I see everything. 2025-03-11 12:16:01
Budget, then actually we'll get bids from. 2025-03-11 12:16:04
People and the Commissioners will make a decision on. 2025-03-11 12:16:07
Who is going to actually get the big? 2025-03-11 12:16:10
Because they have to pay for it so. 2025-03-11 12:16:13
So no, we have complete control over. 2025-03-11 12:16:16
What we want in that building and the committee. 2025-03-11 12:16:19
Don't care, we just have to stay. 2025-03-11 12:16:22
I guess my question is still though. 2025-03-11 12:16:25
Do we need to submit an RFP? 2025-03-11 12:16:28
Proposal Do we need to have the committee? 2025-03-11 12:16:31
Need to get up the ability to get an RFP or. 2025-03-11 12:16:34
Get one. We've already sort of generated a plan for the 1st. 2025-03-11 12:16:37
Words y'all seen from the I think. 2025-03-11 12:16:40
My understanding is we can just. 2025-03-11 12:16:43
Go ahead and pay for an architect to start on the plan. 2025-03-11 12:16:46
That that's that's independent. 2025-03-11 12:16:49
That doesn't mean that we're going to use that architect in the. 2025-03-11 12:16:52
In the final thing, right once. Once the. 2025-03-11 12:16:55
I mean what I'd recommend just process. 2025-03-11 12:16:58
That's why is to let the. 2025-03-11 12:17:01
Put together preliminary drawing in. 2025-03-11 12:17:04
Then get. 2025-03-11 12:17:07
Floyd County Health Department. 2025-03-11 12:17:10
All this with the employees, the people that are. 2025-03-11 12:17:13
Gonna be working there. 2025-03-11 12:17:16
But then. 2025-03-11 12:17:16
Ask questions, you know, hey, you'd be better off for us in terms. 2025-03-11 12:17:19
Of our workflow as this was here and that was here yeah so let's. 2025-03-11 12:17:22
So when we first started looking at building. 2025-03-11 12:17:25
You know, we had two architect propos. 2025-03-11 12:17:28
For this particular building, Lynn Armstrong. 2025-03-11 12:17:31
Was one of the recommendations from the county. 2025-03-11 12:17:34
And then Pinkerton and he. 2025-03-11 12:17:37
When it actually came out and stood with us outside the building. 2025-03-11 12:17:40
Walk through the building with this and you know he. 2025-03-11 12:17:43
We've got several phases, you know, he's got the initial phase. 2025-03-11 12:17:46
With working with Tom and Charlotte. 2025-03-11 12:17:49
The employees and doing the initial site design for. 2025-03-11 12:17:52
For a fee and then if we want him to proceed. 2025-03-11 12:17:55
With the next phase and then the following the. 2025-03-11 12:17:58
Final phase of contractor. 2025-03-11 12:18:01
Blueprints and all that, all that stuff. 2025-03-11 12:18:04
Three separate phases he you know that they would do but. 2025-03-11 12:18:07
You know he's already been out there. He's. 2025-03-11 12:18:10
He's got a good understanding he price wise was. 2025-03-11 12:18:13
They're virtually saying when Armstrong and him were virtually the same. 2025-03-11 12:18:16
I mean, but you can certainly get another bid if you want another. 2025-03-11 12:18:19
But he we had a statutory. 2025-03-11 12:18:22
Process for the appraisal, we had to have three bids. 2025-03-11 12:18:25
So you're telling me we don't have to have that? 2025-03-11 12:18:28
You select who you want, yeah. 2025-03-11 12:18:31
And you select who you want. 2025-03-11 12:18:34
And so that would be the first step for this board to solve. 2025-03-11 12:18:37
Select who they want as an architect. 2025-03-11 12:18:40
And then you ultimately as you go. 2025-03-11 12:18:43
Through whatever process you decide in terms of. 2025-03-11 12:18:46
Making this happen that architect will. 2025-03-11 12:18:49
Use the drawings. 2025-03-11 12:18:52
Bid drawing and so once. 2025-03-11 12:18:55
You get that then. 2025-03-11 12:18:58
The commissioners can go through. 2025-03-11 12:19:01
Their process of just going ahead. 2025-03-11 12:19:04
Doing the advertising and everything for the bid. 2025-03-11 12:19:07
All have done what you're trying to. This is what we want and then. 2025-03-11 12:19:13
It's just a matter of getting the bid. 2025-03-11 12:19:16
For that and then passing it back to this board and letting. 2025-03-11 12:19:19
The board make a decision as to how you want to go forward. 2025-03-11 12:19:22
Because depending on the contractor, some of the contractors. 2025-03-11 12:19:25
To do the secondary architectural stuff in house. 2025-03-11 12:19:28
Versus an outside entity, so some. 2025-03-11 12:19:31
Some of them have you know, in order to value. 2025-03-11 12:19:34
Here they do it themselves and have their own people that. 2025-03-11 12:19:37
Safe cost, so depending on which. 2025-03-11 12:19:40
Bill. 2025-03-11 12:19:40
Building firm you end up going with you know they may not. 2025-03-11 12:19:43
Need the second and third. 2025-03-11 12:19:46
Say Pinkerton. You know they. 2025-03-11 12:19:49
Do it in house so but the first phase is. 2025-03-11 12:19:52
You know, so my question though is so. 2025-03-11 12:19:55
Let's just say it's Pinkerton that we choose and. 2025-03-11 12:19:58
What if you know he wants, you know upfront money? 2025-03-11 12:20:01
We need to get started. I mean, where's where's that money come from? 2025-03-11 12:20:04
We submit it to my understanding. 2025-03-11 12:20:07
According to the minutes from the last meeting, is that this? 2025-03-11 12:20:10
Board approved $170,000. 2025-03-11 12:20:13
That you have to put forward with regard. 2025-03-11 12:20:16
To this process. And so you've got that money, right? 2025-03-11 12:20:19
To go ahead and pay for this ongoing. 2025-03-11 12:20:22
Effort as to how you choose to allocate your. 2025-03-11 12:20:25
Sources. So let me clarify one thing and I think. 2025-03-11 12:20:28
Somebody, the commissioners are buying the building. 2025-03-11 12:20:31
We have 1.1 plus the HFM. 2025-03-11 12:20:34
Money to do the reset. 2025-03-11 12:20:37
That's what we. 2025-03-11 12:20:37
So the arcade. 2025-03-11 12:20:40
Tech is going to come out of our pocket. 2025-03-11 12:20:43
So we, we, we just need to make a decision on which one. 2025-03-11 12:20:46
So, Tom, do you have a preference? 2025-03-11 12:20:50
On who we get to do the preliminary? 2025-03-11 12:20:53
You know my my preferences, of course is that they would base. 2025-03-11 12:20:56
What they're doing off of the floor plan that. 2025-03-11 12:20:58
Came up with through the department because we've all kind of metal. 2025-03-11 12:21:02
That tried to, you know, go close to the exam and. 2025-03-11 12:21:05
We like the the original plan we came up with. I don't have a prep. 2025-03-11 12:21:11
For our architectural design. 2025-03-11 12:21:13
I think it's reasonable that, you know, we have somebody. 2025-03-11 12:21:17
A set of workable floor plan that would be. 2025-03-11 12:21:20
The code basically and then. 2025-03-11 12:21:23
From there, the 2nd and 3rd phases would probably be. 2025-03-11 12:21:26
Contingent upon. Contingent upon. 2025-03-11 12:21:29
You know what actual construction companies looked at? But. 2025-03-11 12:21:32
Yeah, I think, I mean, I think we should move ahead. 2025-03-11 12:21:35
With a architect. 2025-03-11 12:21:38
An architect I don't. 2025-03-11 12:21:41
To have a preference one way or the other, as long as they're going. 2025-03-11 12:21:44
To take, you know, our input for what we. 2025-03-11 12:21:47
So I will go to the. 2025-03-11 12:21:50
Say that I personally vetted the two. 2025-03-11 12:21:53
People because I have friends in the business and I'm not going to say. 2025-03-11 12:21:56
Because they didn't give you permission to, but I I would. 2025-03-11 12:21:59
Highly recommend the sky. 2025-03-11 12:22:02
Pinkerton, yeah. And again, he's ready. He's ready to. 2025-03-11 12:22:05
Yeah, he's so, I mean all your. 2025-03-11 12:22:08
All I gotta do is make phone call. 2025-03-11 12:22:11
So I mean, and it's what it was, in fact. 2025-03-11 12:22:14
The 84 papers and yeah. 2025-03-11 12:22:17
Yeah, I think this board needs to make a motion. 2025-03-11 12:22:20
And in terms of selecting. 2025-03-11 12:22:23
It is that you want, so I would make the motion to move. 2025-03-11 12:22:26
Forward Pinkerton. 2025-03-11 12:22:29
OK. 2025-03-11 12:22:29
All in favor. 2025-03-11 12:22:32
Anybody opposed? Motion carried. 2025-03-11 12:22:35
And so the process is left. 2025-03-11 12:22:47
70 could be used for anything, yeah. 2025-03-11 12:22:53
Towards the recession. 2025-03-11 12:22:56
That wasn't clear to me before. OK, that was I'm sorry. 2025-03-11 12:22:59
After the last meeting I went to their. 2025-03-11 12:23:02
And yes, that money, they just said we can. 2025-03-11 12:23:05
They're not putting it towards the building. 2025-03-11 12:23:08
My understanding and I guess just one other thing to add. 2025-03-11 12:23:11
To the building. So John, you know we get. 2025-03-11 12:23:14
Talk to the current tenants and they're going to be but they're. 2025-03-11 12:23:17
They're leaving all the all the things that are we. 2025-03-11 12:23:20
Saw in that building they're going to be leaving all of that so that. 2025-03-11 12:23:23
All you know helpful for. 2025-03-11 12:23:26
Saving money and costs. 2025-03-11 12:23:29
Desk, chairs and also in the building. 2025-03-11 12:23:32
Purpose. We're not going to have a tenant to deal with in there. 2025-03-11 12:23:35
We know when they're moving out. 2025-03-11 12:23:38
John acted like it was soon so. 2025-03-11 12:23:41
February 28th. I'm yeah. February 20. I thought they were. 2025-03-11 12:23:44
Gonna be gone by March 1st but I don't know if they are officially. 2025-03-11 12:23:47
Shortly but. 2025-03-11 12:23:50
OK. 2025-03-11 12:23:56
Yeah, I just want to make sure they were going to be affected by. 2025-03-11 12:23:59
John told me they were. 2025-03-11 12:24:02
Yeah, OK, yeah, he told me they were supposed to be, but yeah. 2025-03-11 12:24:05
OK. 2025-03-11 12:24:08
Anybody else want to say anything about the building? 2025-03-11 12:24:11
***. 2025-03-11 12:24:14
OK, on to new business. 2025-03-11 12:24:17
Coronary, please. 2025-03-11 12:24:20
Yeah. 2025-03-11 12:24:23
We have a. 2025-03-11 12:24:26
Issue with the corner I. 2025-03-11 12:24:29
Spoken with the new corner, I think 4 on 4 separate. 2025-03-11 12:24:32
January 1st this issue. 2025-03-11 12:24:38
There was a guy who was. 2025-03-11 12:24:41
Under Hospice care, we went through the cardiologist's office. 2025-03-11 12:24:44
And died basically. 2025-03-11 12:24:47
Cardiologist's office he was. 2025-03-11 12:24:50
Was not coded or attempted to do. 2025-03-11 12:24:53
Patient because he's been hospital status. 2025-03-11 12:24:56
But the office didn't really know what to do. 2025-03-11 12:24:59
And so the office called the coroner. 2025-03-11 12:25:02
Who didn't do anything. 2025-03-11 12:25:05
The Funeral Home wouldn't pick up the body because the. 2025-03-11 12:25:08
Corner didn't release the body and this. 2025-03-11 12:25:11
A doctor's office called the police. 2025-03-11 12:25:14
Who came and said, well, this is not a crime or. 2025-03-11 12:25:17
We're not involved. 2025-03-11 12:25:20
On the office who had a. 2025-03-11 12:25:23
Dead patients put a sheet over the. 2025-03-11 12:25:26
Patients hiding into a wheelchair and if you. 2025-03-11 12:25:29
From the office in professional art. 2025-03-11 12:25:32
Building across the. 2025-03-11 12:25:35
Through the hospital and parked him outside of security. 2025-03-11 12:25:38
To get a burial transit form. 2025-03-11 12:25:41
Who? 2025-03-11 12:25:44
There were several requests. 2025-03-11 12:25:48
Did everyone here see weakened Bernie? 2025-03-11 12:25:50
Very reminiscent. 2025-03-11 12:25:53
So. 2025-03-11 12:25:57
I got involved once. The security was there and they didn't know what. 2025-03-11 12:26:00
Going on. So we talked. 2025-03-11 12:26:02
Up in the corner, we we hope that we. 2025-03-11 12:26:05
Have corrected this issue. 2025-03-11 12:26:09
We've had issues in the past with a. 2025-03-11 12:26:12
A corner a few years ago. 2025-03-11 12:26:15
And you know, we had looked into. 2025-03-11 12:26:17
Trying to establish. 2025-03-11 12:26:20
Parameters for them is the health option we have to. 2025-03-11 12:26:24
In the health department, I have to, ultimately. 2025-03-11 12:26:27
Certificate from the health department also. 2025-03-11 12:26:30
Have to maintain records of all the deaths so. 2025-03-11 12:26:33
So we do have, you know, input into what. 2025-03-11 12:26:36
Goes on, but there isn't. 2025-03-11 12:26:39
Really any way to directly approach? 2025-03-11 12:26:42
Corner issues with an outside agency other than approaching the corner. 2025-03-11 12:26:45
Themselves, themselves, themselves. We've done that. 2025-03-11 12:26:48
So we'll see if this is going to become an. 2025-03-11 12:26:51
This is kind of. 2025-03-11 12:26:54
Tom Macab. 2025-03-11 12:26:57
To to Really. 2025-03-11 12:27:00
You know, something could easily it could have been. 2025-03-11 12:27:03
Easily released by the corner the. 2025-03-11 12:27:06
Funeral Home would have gone to the office and picked the body up. 2025-03-11 12:27:09
And that would have been the end of it had the coin. 2025-03-11 12:27:12
What was the coroner's reason for not releasing? 2025-03-11 12:27:18
He thought the office would just know. 2025-03-11 12:27:21
If he said that they were going to do an autopsy, that that. 2025-03-11 12:27:24
Then the body was released. 2025-03-11 12:27:27
And you know, you know, we, we, we had a. 2025-03-11 12:27:30
A long talk about how office depths are new. 2025-03-11 12:27:33
You know, at least involve a. 2025-03-11 12:27:36
It it it really was terminology. 2025-03-11 12:27:42
And and then I think it it. 2025-03-11 12:27:45
Sort of devolved down to the person who's getting a lot of calls. 2025-03-11 12:27:48
They thought they were done and we're going to do anything and even the police try. 2025-03-11 12:27:51
You know, but they didn't without a crime. 2025-03-11 12:27:54
Well, the Funeral Home could have. 2025-03-11 12:27:57
The phone call and called the corner and said this body really? 2025-03-11 12:28:00
And been done, I mean. 2025-03-11 12:28:03
Like a lot of people. 2025-03-11 12:28:05
MMM, yeah. 2025-03-11 12:28:06
Yeah, it was. It was one of the things for this. 2025-03-11 12:28:09
Back over the hospital. 2025-03-11 12:28:12
Part of the part of the deal was the corner. 2025-03-11 12:28:15
An unusual circumstance which should be there. 2025-03-11 12:28:18
You know that's what they do is they do nothing. 2025-03-11 12:28:21
Unusual circumstances here was the case where clearly. 2025-03-11 12:28:24
Did not know what to do and at that point you should have stepped up. 2025-03-11 12:28:30
And said, OK guys, let me make a couple calls for you. 2025-03-11 12:28:33
How it's done and that doesn't happen. 2025-03-11 12:28:36
True. 2025-03-11 12:28:39
Yeah. So we're we're hopefully that. 2025-03-11 12:28:42
That issue has been addressed and we're going that route. 2025-03-11 12:28:45
And this is sort of ahead. 2025-03-11 12:28:48
For you guys, was the patient in a constant? 2025-03-11 12:28:51
The patient was unaccompanied. 2025-03-11 12:28:54
Treated like an in home depth, yeah, it's just. 2025-03-11 12:29:03
Been a little more tender. Yeah, they got a a water. 2025-03-11 12:29:09
From the hospital about the guy. 2025-03-11 12:29:12
You know, hide into a wheelchair outside the security office. 2025-03-11 12:29:15
It's a very public place, you know, in the afternoon. 2025-03-11 12:29:18
And yeah. 2025-03-11 12:29:21
In the future, we're keeping a close eye on cause. 2025-03-11 12:29:30
Of death and things like that, we get a. 2025-03-11 12:29:33
Function. 2025-03-11 12:29:36
Should also probably bring up that all these. 2025-03-11 12:29:39
A corner from the previous. 2025-03-11 12:29:42
Were terminated because this is a. 2025-03-11 12:29:45
Not only a new coroner who has had a job before, but all. 2025-03-11 12:29:48
To his administration. 2025-03-11 12:29:54
Old business. 2025-03-11 12:30:06
I have some old business. This is a state. 2025-03-11 12:30:09
So we talked about the septic. 2025-03-11 12:30:12
System thing and so. 2025-03-11 12:30:15
Rick has another alternative. 2025-03-11 12:30:18
Which we're having a small executive session for which. 2025-03-11 12:30:21
Only certain people can go because it's unpublished. 2025-03-11 12:30:24
And then after that, we'll be coming up and after we. 2025-03-11 12:30:27
We will get back to you all on an altern. 2025-03-11 12:30:33
Replace. 2025-03-11 12:30:42
Can't get it done any other way. 2025-03-11 12:30:45
We don't know that all. 2025-03-11 12:30:51
Details where it's going to explain it to us and. 2025-03-11 12:30:54
In which we can only have small groups of people. 2025-03-11 12:30:57
And yes, because it would be considered a meeting. 2025-03-11 12:31:00
If we. 2025-03-11 12:31:03
Held it otherwise with three members of this board it. 2025-03-11 12:31:06
Not considered a meeting. 2025-03-11 12:31:09
What we're trying to do is to get. 2025-03-11 12:31:12
Members of the board. 2025-03-11 12:31:15
The health department together and. 2025-03-11 12:31:18
Discuss all the nuances. 2025-03-11 12:31:21
And it is complicated and drive. 2025-03-11 12:31:24
Now we're talking about that before the meeting. Umm. 2025-03-11 12:31:27
There's two different statutes that allow you to. 2025-03-11 12:31:30
Set up. 2025-03-11 12:31:33
District and. 2025-03-11 12:31:36
That's Title 13 and Title 36. 2025-03-11 12:31:39
Each have different ways that you can set up. 2025-03-11 12:31:42
About the district and pros and cons. 2025-03-11 12:31:45
In terms of. 2025-03-11 12:31:48
To use and also. 2025-03-11 12:31:51
Considerations that need to be made with regard. 2025-03-11 12:31:54
To the size of the territory. 2025-03-11 12:31:57
That you're going to bring into the district and. 2025-03-11 12:32:00
All these need to be vetted with regard. 2025-03-11 12:32:03
To the pros and the cons so that we can make it. 2025-03-11 12:32:06
Informative and. 2025-03-11 12:32:09
An appropriate decision with regards to moving forward. 2025-03-11 12:32:12
With. 2025-03-11 12:32:15
District we want and how we want that district. 2025-03-11 12:32:18
To operate and so I got a lot of. 2025-03-11 12:32:21
You know this and that. 2025-03-11 12:32:24
To consider when it comes to going through the. 2025-03-11 12:32:27
So that's. 2025-03-11 12:32:30
The whole. 2025-03-11 12:32:30
Purpose of getting us together and it. 2025-03-11 12:32:33
It's too complicated to sit down and do this and. 2025-03-11 12:32:37
This setting and I prefer doing. 2025-03-11 12:32:39
Things in a public meeting. 2025-03-11 12:32:42
Through experience of. 2025-03-11 12:32:46
I found that we need. 2025-03-11 12:32:48
You take the whole day off if we're going to do that. 2025-03-11 12:32:52
So it's better to get. 2025-03-11 12:32:54
A group together and invent all this. 2025-03-11 12:32:58
And then expand that to the full. 2025-03-11 12:33:01
Let the full ball. 2025-03-11 12:33:03
Ask questions. 2025-03-11 12:33:06
And we can go forward from there. 2025-03-11 12:33:10
They're the ones that would pass the order. 2025-03-11 12:33:16
On Title 36. 2025-03-11 12:33:22
Title 13 is a different setup where you're filing. 2025-03-11 12:33:25
Petition with idam. 2025-03-11 12:33:28
And going through just a different stack. 2025-03-11 12:33:31
The way I. 2025-03-11 12:33:34
Even it was titled 36 the ultimate you know. 2025-03-11 12:33:37
The commissioners have the option to decide it themselves. 2025-03-11 12:33:43
Set up a wastewater district and delegate it to them. 2025-03-11 12:33:46
But even if they do that. 2025-03-11 12:33:49
I'm sure veto power is not the right. 2025-03-11 12:33:52
Term for it, but the state can still say no. 2025-03-11 12:33:55
We've read your ordinance. We've read your plan. We don't like it. 2025-03-11 12:33:58
Start over. And So what we want to do for the? 2025-03-11 12:34:01
People who, you know, weren't willing to do this right the first time. 2025-03-11 12:34:04
You know, for the people who are going to want to start the. 2025-03-11 12:34:07
System pretty much as soon as the wastewater. 2025-03-11 12:34:10
District is in a factor of the commissioners approved. 2025-03-11 12:34:13
And so at that point, we don't want to have a scenario where we. 2025-03-11 12:34:16
Ongoing construction projects with the state. 2025-03-11 12:34:19
Declining on their review of the order. 2025-03-11 12:34:22
So we want to try to get things to organize it all. 2025-03-11 12:34:25
Want to make sure that we can actually give these people off? 2025-03-11 12:34:31
A proper legal Go ahead. 2025-03-11 12:34:34
And get the project started. 2025-03-11 12:34:37
We're looking at a handful of places currently. 2025-03-11 12:34:40
Cast is why the net is possible to specific up to. 2025-03-11 12:34:46
Yeah, I think that the. 2025-03-11 12:34:49
We talked to the commissioners, they sort. 2025-03-11 12:34:52
Boned his back. 2025-03-11 12:34:55
In fact, find workshops, we do workshop and then. 2025-03-11 12:34:58
By April, we should be able. 2025-03-11 12:35:01
Hopefully you can go out to speak with our project and and just. 2025-03-11 12:35:07
To kind of tell you what kind of. 2025-03-11 12:35:10
And sinking through the process. 2025-03-11 12:35:13
And looking at the complete statute with regards to a. 2025-03-11 12:35:16
Projections that you can get and. 2025-03-11 12:35:19
Trying to limit the. 2025-03-11 12:35:22
The ability of getting the. 2025-03-11 12:35:25
Because that adds to the. 2025-03-11 12:35:28
Kind that you have to go through the process and see. 2025-03-11 12:35:31
To me that. 2025-03-11 12:35:34
A happy place to land might be. 2025-03-11 12:35:37
Because we've got a range of anywhere from the South. 2025-03-11 12:35:40
Seven properties that we have right now that you could make a difference. 2025-03-11 12:35:43
Street all the way to. 2025-03-11 12:35:46
The whole unincorporated county. 2025-03-11 12:35:49
But this flow can only go to. 2025-03-11 12:35:52
A. What's it called? 2025-03-11 12:35:55
Unrestricted, Unrestricted waterway. 2025-03-11 12:35:58
Of which there's only one that we know of, and it's really not. 2025-03-11 12:36:01
An area that's in place. 2025-03-11 12:36:04
But but it is again it's another another project. 2025-03-11 12:36:07
Period. Another another hoops to make. 2025-03-11 12:36:10
So if we're able to identify all the prop. 2025-03-11 12:36:13
Properties that could take advantage of that. 2025-03-11 12:36:16
Then where? Where? 2025-03-11 12:36:19
Remedying the amount of objections that we. 2025-03-11 12:36:22
Week and a half because there's going to be a huge. 2025-03-11 12:36:25
Accounting that this doesn't apply to. 2025-03-11 12:36:28
That when you have the authority to establish fees. 2025-03-11 12:36:31
On these people they're going to come out of the woodwork with. 2025-03-11 12:36:34
Regards to that, I can just tell you. 2025-03-11 12:36:37
And so if we're able to limit. 2025-03-11 12:36:40
The exposure to the. 2025-03-11 12:36:43
That we can help with regards to this district. 2025-03-11 12:36:46
Were able to identify those and I think we can. 2025-03-11 12:36:49
And say OK, here's the layout of the property give. 2025-03-11 12:36:52
Exam specific notice with regards to that. 2025-03-11 12:36:55
I think we're limiting our fault. 2025-03-11 12:36:58
Here to objections and. 2025-03-11 12:37:01
Additional time. 2025-03-11 12:37:01
And we're able to hopefully. 2025-03-11 12:37:04
Get this thing through for the people that you. 2025-03-11 12:37:07
And have is available for. 2025-03-11 12:37:10
The people that don't need it now, but me in the future. 2025-03-11 12:37:13
Well, I'm author. 2025-03-11 12:37:16
Government and limited boards so. 2025-03-11 12:37:19
Can do this without another layer of bureaucracy. 2025-03-11 12:37:22
I support that and. 2025-03-11 12:37:25
That's the whole concept. 2025-03-11 12:37:28
Anybody else have anything else? 2025-03-11 12:37:31
Anybody have anything? 2025-03-11 12:37:37
I need a motion to enter in the meeting. 2025-03-11 12:37:40
Thank you people. Thank you. 2025-03-11 12:37:46
OK. 2025-03-11 12:38:07
Right now it. 2025-03-11 12:38:13
Got back to the Commission there, so you know. 2025-03-11 12:38:17
I guess they wanted. 2025-03-11 12:38:20
Have the board to know that they are very. 2025-03-11 12:38:23
Call me if you have any questions. 2025-03-11 12:38:25
We haven't received any phone calls and now we're told we're not. 2025-03-11 12:38:29
OK. 2025-03-11 12:38:38

At this time, we're going to open up a public hearing on an Ord. 2025-03-11 18:02:22
Improving the issuance of general obligation bonds. 2025-03-11 18:02:25
The purpose of this is for the. 2025-03-11 18:02:28
Purchase of the Health Department building. 2025-03-11 18:02:31

Good evening. It's good to see you. 2025-03-11 18:03:01
This body, I don't think I've seen you all since. 2025-03-11 18:03:04
The this new body was formed, so it's not. 2025-03-11 18:03:07
I am Judge Maria Greenberg. 2025-03-11 18:03:10
I have two grants that we. 2025-03-11 18:03:13
The first being an additional appropriation for personnel. 2025-03-11 18:03:16
To round out three positions that. 2025-03-11 18:03:19
Work with the Veterans Court of Southern Indiana. 2025-03-11 18:03:22
For the duration of 2025. 2025-03-11 18:03:25
So that's what that additional appropriate. 2025-03-11 18:03:28
And that's why I delayed it too. 2025-03-11 18:03:31
I want to make sure the figures were correct so they're less than what I have. 2025-03-11 18:03:34
Originally advertised, but the items that amount. 2025-03-11 18:03:37

Purchase of the existing building to be used for the. 2025-03-11 18:05:29
Health Department. The ordinance would authorize the issue to. 2025-03-11 18:05:32
General obligation bonds in a maximum principal amount not to be. 2025-03-11 18:05:35
$3.2 million and. 2025-03-11 18:05:38
Pending the issuance of those bonds, it would authorize. 2025-03-11 18:05:41
The issuance of bond anticipation though, so bond. 2025-03-11 18:05:44
Face note for band is just a fancy. 2025-03-11 18:05:47
Work for interim financing and. 2025-03-11 18:05:50
Previous discussions to my understanding that the Council. 2025-03-11 18:05:53
Would like to do issue a ban for this. 2025-03-11 18:05:56
Financing with the intent that you're going. 2025-03-11 18:05:59
Free up money from your general fund that. 2025-03-11 18:06:02
To amortize the band so that bonds would never be issued. 2025-03-11 18:06:05
And that's perfectly fine to do, but. 2025-03-11 18:06:08
In order to abandon, you still have to authorize the the openly. 2025-03-11 18:06:11
The issuance of the bonds in case that would ever be necessary. 2025-03-11 18:06:14
That's really what this ordinance does, is it? 2025-03-11 18:06:17
Both arms and bands. Umm the. 2025-03-11 18:06:20
Proceeds will be used to finance the purchase of the existing. 2025-03-11 18:06:23
Building offers a small amount to be. 2025-03-11 18:06:26
Renovations to make it usable as the county. 2025-03-11 18:06:29
Health department facility, we also. 2025-03-11 18:06:32
Allow us to do what's called capitalized interest. 2025-03-11 18:06:35
So again, knowing that your overall plan of. 2025-03-11 18:06:38
Finances to shift some expenses from your general fund to. 2025-03-11 18:06:41
Public safety with fund. This is going to give me time. 2025-03-11 18:06:44
Time and doing capitalized interest gives you time to kind of figure out. 2025-03-11 18:06:47
And the shipping those expenses before? 2025-03-11 18:06:50
And start finding a source of revenue to pay pay the interest on. 2025-03-11 18:06:53
On the on the band and then again the proceeds because. 2025-03-11 18:06:56
Softly be used to pay the issuance for the. 2025-03-11 18:06:59
Transaction the. 2025-03-11 18:07:02
The ordinance also makes an additional appropriation, so. 2025-03-11 18:07:05
Again, because this amount wasn't included in your existing budget that. 2025-03-11 18:07:08
The purpose of the hearing was to allow folks. 2025-03-11 18:07:11
Asked about this additional appropriation, but it does allow. 2025-03-11 18:07:14
Make this the additional preparation $3.2 million at. 2025-03-11 18:07:17
Again, would be funded with the proceeds of the financing. 2025-03-11 18:07:20
Together with any investment earnings on those proceeds. 2025-03-11 18:07:23
The last last point to kind of point out in this, which is. 2025-03-11 18:07:26
Normally by anticipation, notes are secured. 2025-03-11 18:07:29
So we buy the proceeds of the bonds if and when issued. 2025-03-11 18:07:32
This ordinance does authorize. 2025-03-11 18:07:35
And the backup, the ability to levy. 2025-03-11 18:07:38
Tax to pay interest on the band if that were next. 2025-03-11 18:07:41
Necessary. And again, it's kind of because of the unique nature. 2025-03-11 18:07:44
This financing that we put that in here because. 2025-03-11 18:07:47
The Perks of the Band is going to. 2025-03-11 18:07:50
And how are they gonna get paid interest every six? 2025-03-11 18:07:53
Months until until the maturity of the band and. 2025-03-11 18:07:56
So again, we all understand the intent is to use your. 2025-03-11 18:07:59
Freedom, you know, general fund cash flow, but. 2025-03-11 18:08:02
Credit standpoint, it gets kind of hard for a bank or. 2025-03-11 18:08:05
Credit analyst to review that especially when when. 2025-03-11 18:08:08
That overall shift in the expenses may not have. 2025-03-11 18:08:11
Yeah. So again the the property tax levy. 2025-03-11 18:08:14
They backstop and pay interest on the case. 2025-03-11 18:08:17
That that would be necessary, but again, I don't know. 2025-03-11 18:08:20
Necessarily to state happiness, I'll pause. 2025-03-11 18:08:23
They're happy and quiet to know that, uh. 2025-03-11 18:08:26
This is not what I am. 2025-03-11 18:08:32
Happening. I anticipated our tax. 2025-03-11 18:08:35
Have an opinion? I anticipated that pay. 2025-03-11 18:08:38
Interest, I thought that's what we talked about that. 2025-03-11 18:08:41
We were going to pay the interest as we go. 2025-03-11 18:08:44
Can we still do that? Oh, we can. 2025-03-11 18:08:47
That is exactly what would be anticipated. 2025-03-11 18:08:50
