| Get out in a couple years. Two years. That would be the Republic for which stands one nation under God. | 00:00:01 | |
| Indivisible with liberty and justice for all. | 00:00:08 | |
| Alright, thank you for joining us for our first. | 00:00:13 | |
| Meeting of March. | 00:00:19 | |
| And. | 00:00:21 | |
| If you will, please silence your cell phones. | 00:00:23 | |
| And if you do need to use them when they have the hallway out there for your use. | 00:00:27 | |
| And please join. | 00:00:31 | |
| Me and a hormone of silence, just for individual prayer, meditation or reflection. And we'll get ready for tonight's meeting. | 00:00:33 | |
| Alright, thank you. We have a couple of. | 00:01:02 | |
| Adjustments to tonight's agenda. | 00:01:07 | |
| I look for a motion to table item 1D the approval of equipment purchase. That information is not ready. | 00:01:10 | |
| And uh. | 00:01:16 | |
| Also look for. | 00:01:18 | |
| Motion to add a unanimous consent. 2 items 1 is a letter of. | 00:01:20 | |
| Support. | 00:01:25 | |
| For Georgetown's efforts to secure. | 00:01:26 | |
| I think funding for an amphitheater, I don't know if it's a grant or or funding individually. | 00:01:28 | |
| And then also for the storm water department. | 00:01:33 | |
| An item to allow signature outside of this meeting. | 00:01:39 | |
| For an MS-4 IDEM annual report. | 00:01:43 | |
| That request has been made by Storm Water Board that we. | 00:01:48 | |
| Consider that. | 00:01:51 | |
| Tonight. | 00:01:53 | |
| So moved second. | 00:01:54 | |

| We'll start with new business under CEO Nick Creeby. | 00:02:00 | |
| Christy, where did you want those items that we added to be? | 00:02:06 | |
| Listed Did you want the item report under your? | 00:02:10 | |
| I dim Report can go under stormwater director Chris Moore if he's OK with that. | 00:02:15 | |
| And then the other letter, Nick, are you familiar with that letter? We can throw the Georgetown letter under Nick then. So E and | 00:02:20 | |
| then two. | 00:02:24 | |
| OK. | 00:02:29 | |

| Second, all in favor, Aye. All right. Thank you for everyone who took the time to submit a proposal for us. | 00:06:46 | |
| OK, the next item I have is a. | 00:06:56 | |
| Interlocal agreement and addendum. | 00:06:59 | |
| To existing agreement we have with the Greenville. | 00:07:01 | |
| For building services and train Commission services for the town, this is a 2 year extension. | 00:07:04 | |
| The original. | 00:07:13 | |
| Our agreement was from 2022. We've extended it several times. | 00:07:14 | |
| Subsequently. | 00:07:19 | |
| All right. Any questions for Mr. Creevy about? | 00:07:23 | |
| This extension. | 00:07:27 | |
| Now I'll look for a motion to approve. | 00:07:29 | |
| I'll make a motion to approve. | 00:07:32 | |
| And I'll second. | 00:07:34 | |
| All in favor, aye aye. | 00:07:35 | |
| All right. We'll move on to the awarding of the bids that were opened at last meeting for the road department. | 00:07:41 | |
| We have. | 00:07:50 | |
| Palmer truck bid was the. | 00:07:52 | |
| Bid for the tandem trucks, the total was four, 33400. | 00:07:54 | |
| For 2 tracks. | 00:07:59 | |
| All right, and. | 00:08:09 | |
| Would you like to discuss financing on that or not? | 00:08:11 | |
| I hope you already have some. | 00:08:15 | |
| Some proposal in that correct? | 00:08:17 | |
| We'd like to, we'd like to suggest that that money for the tandem trucks and the rotational process comes out of the Gold Bond | 00:08:19 | |
| funds. | 00:08:23 | |
| We, we kind of laid that out there as a tentative plan for you to evaluate. | 00:08:28 | |
| As well so. | 00:08:32 | |
| That that's a that's kind of what we're hoping will sustain. | 00:08:34 | |
| This rotational process for these trucks for. | 00:08:38 | |
| OK. I mean, I think we've had plenty of time to look that over. | 00:08:42 | |
| And. | 00:08:45 | |
| We're definitely in need what we we had. | 00:08:46 | |
| Three trucks go down during the last or four. OK, I was. | 00:08:49 | |
| I thought that one might have been hopefully. | 00:08:52 | |
| Possibly repairable. | 00:08:55 | |
| 334 have been periods. | 00:08:58 | |
| Got it. OK, alright. | 00:09:01 | |
| I have no further questions regarding the matter. | 00:09:03 | |
| We look for a motion. | 00:09:08 | |
| Yes, please. Yeah, I'll make a motion to approve. | 00:09:10 | |
| I'll second. | 00:09:12 | |
| OK, all in favor, aye? | 00:09:13 | |
| Then the second bid. | 00:09:16 | |
| We had from last week was or from last meeting was for the equipment for the road department. | 00:09:18 | |
| That total was 1,000,196 three 3260. | 00:09:25 | |
| For various equipment. | 00:09:31 | |
| Stan can update you on the. | 00:09:33 | |
| Payment financing. | 00:09:36 | |
| I reached out to Ron Mangas at the Indiana Bond Bank. | 00:09:39 | |
| Not wanting to commit Gold Bond monies. | 00:09:42 | |
| But what it? | 00:09:45 | |
| Ron had offered a couple of suggestions we already have. | 00:09:47 | |
| Floyd County already has established accounts through the Indiana Bond Bank. | 00:09:50 | |
| Which makes this process. | 00:09:53 | |
| And I've sent all the documentation with Christy to review a little bit more seamless. | 00:09:55 | |
| We don't have to go through an application process. It's already on file. They know where financial status is. | 00:10:00 | |
| They sent us back a an estimated. | 00:10:06 | |
| Timeline payment. I asked for a maybe a potential six year plan. | 00:10:09 | |
| To pay it over a period to six years. | 00:10:13 | |
| The payments were, I believe it was 107. | 00:10:15 | |
| Roughly $500. | 00:10:18 | |
| Semi annually for the payments for the next 6 years starting in August of this year. | 00:10:20 | |
| We just had the one go bond that actually or the one. | 00:10:26 | |
| US Bancorp. | 00:10:30 | |
| Lease agreement, Lease to buy agreement roll off. We've made our final payment. | 00:10:31 | |
| The first part of this year. | 00:10:35 | |
| Which would free up some money. | 00:10:37 | |
| To allow us to sustain the payments over the next six years. | 00:10:39 | |
| It just seemed like a plausible time frame. I did get A5 and A7. | 00:10:43 | |
| It's we got a 3.69 rate for the six year. | 00:10:47 | |
| It's still active as of today. So I don't know if Christy had any additional questions at this point, but. | 00:10:52 | |
| No other than $30,000 down payment. | 00:10:59 | |
| Prior to. | 00:11:02 | |
| Entering into the lease to purchase lease purchase agreement with US Bancorp for the remaining balance, correct? | 00:11:05 | |
| That because we had all that we had already had already requested the quote. | 00:11:12 | |
| We can go back and re request if DB. | 00:11:16 | |
| But. | 00:11:19 | |
| An option would be to take $30,000 of the gold mine funds. | 00:11:20 | |
| Apply that to the difference between the 1.169 that. | 00:11:24 | |
| US Bancorp proposed in financing for this project. | 00:11:28 | |
| Which was what we were given during the initial process. | 00:11:31 | |
| Versus the 1.196? | 00:11:35 | |
| Which is the final? Well, the current bid. | 00:11:38 | |
| That's on the table right now, so that $30,000 will make up that difference. | 00:11:41 | |
| To allow us to move forward. Yes, ma'am. | 00:11:45 | |
| So I think. | 00:11:47 | |
| Umm, are you saying there would be two options? Either they could take out the full 1.196 but we have to go back and negotiate | 00:11:48 | |
| with Bancorp? US Bancorp or? | 00:11:52 | |
| Pay 30,000 from the GO bond and stick with the current schedule that US Bancorp has provided. | 00:11:57 | |
| With 107. | 00:12:02 | |
| 1000 twice a year for six years. Yes, ma'am, that's correct. | 00:12:04 | |
| And so with that in mind, the proposal or what we have from US Bancorps, a proposal, so. | 00:12:09 | |
| If that's the route we're going to go, is paying 30 from go bond proceeds and then. | 00:12:15 | |
| Utilizing the schedule US Bancorp has set out as a proposal. | 00:12:19 | |
| That you all prove that. | 00:12:23 | |
| And accept the proposal and use the 30,000 from Go Bonds. | 00:12:25 | |
| And then obviously. | 00:12:29 | |
| The actual lease and loan documents from. | 00:12:30 | |
| U.S. bank coordinates to come back to the board for approval. | 00:12:33 | |
| I don't know timing on that, if we if we would get that and then line that up with the March 17th meeting or? | 00:12:37 | |
| After speaking to U.S. bank or my contact there says that really they're ready to go since we've already applied and got the | 00:12:43 | |
| entire process laid out. | 00:12:47 | |
| I'm sure that they could meet the March 17th Atlantic man. | 00:12:53 | |
| OK. And we've already itemized these. | 00:12:57 | |
| Purchases. | 00:13:00 | |
| At public meeting before, but I'd like to make sure that they're available for the public, so. | 00:13:01 | |
| Cindy, I don't know if you have that list of equipment. | 00:13:06 | |
| We we have them here that we. | 00:13:09 | |
| Make them available on that input. Please read it off briefly. I mean communal multi purpose tractor with orbital 7 boom. | 00:13:12 | |
| With multiple attachments, enter enter green American model. | 00:13:21 | |
| Aspen Fast 7 Boom Taco Hurricane 425 Deer our leaf collector trailer. | 00:13:25 | |
| Step manufacturer Asphalt dump trailer hot box. | 00:13:31 | |
| Step manufacturer manufacturing mastic machine in a 2014 global M4 St. sweeper. | 00:13:35 | |
| OK. If there are no further questions from the board, I'd look for. | 00:13:43 | |
| Formal approval of the equipment purchase contingent upon. | 00:13:46 | |
| Financing working out as. | 00:13:50 | |
| Discuss this evening. | 00:13:52 | |
| Select second. All in favor aye. | 00:13:54 | |
| Thank you. And that's. | 00:13:59 | |
| A lot of moving parts on that particular one, yeah. | 00:14:01 | |
| And then the final item is the. | 00:14:05 | |
| Letter of support for the town of Georgetown. This is as you'll lead to the for amphitheater. It is for a grant application. | 00:14:07 | |
| For Ready to Arts and Culture funding. | 00:14:16 | |
| They just requested that we provide a letter of support for that. | 00:14:20 | |
| And I've drafted one up. | 00:14:25 | |
| Yeah, I think they're doing wonderful things over there. It's been like one thing after another in Georgetown, so. | 00:14:27 | |
| Yes, they certainly have have. | 00:14:34 | |
| My support and I suspect collectively as well, absolutely, I agree with you. I think they're doing a fantastic job out there, but | 00:14:36 | |
| both them in Greenville. | 00:14:39 | |
| They're doing some great things so. | 00:14:43 | |
| I'll make a motion to approve. | 00:14:45 | |
| I'll second all in favor, aye. | 00:14:46 | |
| All right. Stormwater director Chris Moore. | 00:14:54 | |
| Thank you gentlemen, for letting me come up. | 00:14:59 | |
| This evening. | 00:15:01 | |
| Got three things for you? | 00:15:02 | |
| 1st. | 00:15:04 | |
| Is the seeds grant. | 00:15:04 | |
| The state of Indiana is providing. | 00:15:07 | |
| Grants did their Indiana Office of Technology. | 00:15:10 | |
| We are asking for $7500. | 00:15:14 | |
| This grant is for. | 00:15:18 | |
| Getting our. | 00:15:21 | |
| Parcel layer. | 00:15:23 | |
| Our center line. | 00:15:24 | |
| Road layer and our address layer up to the new. | 00:15:25 | |
| Next Gen. 911 standard Next Gen. 911 basically takes. | 00:15:28 | |
| Whenever you call a 911 system. | 00:15:33 | |
| It takes it to where it used to be Rotary phones and they could. | 00:15:36 | |
| Tied in that way, which is the old M sag. | 00:15:39 | |
| But your friend knows a little bit about this. | 00:15:41 | |
| Frank still has a Rotary phone. | 00:15:43 | |
| They're going back to. | 00:15:46 | |
| Cell phones, which is. | 00:15:48 | |
| Takes it to the next gym. | 00:15:50 | |
| Of the E 91. | 00:15:52 | |
| E911. | 00:15:53 | |
| System Now our layers aren't used in dispatch. | 00:15:55 | |
| This batch has their own layers and everything else, but what? | 00:15:58 | |
| This will do is. | 00:16:00 | |
| Our layers are used by EMA and other departments so it would then match. | 00:16:02 | |
| What the dispatch has so it. | 00:16:07 | |
| For some reason. | 00:16:09 | |
| They can't get dispatches. | 00:16:10 | |
| Letters, they have our layers to be able to use that would be able to show up and everything else. So it's the pass through Grant. | 00:16:13 | |
| No match money needed by us. | 00:16:20 | |
| We have a company that will do the work for 7500 and. | 00:16:24 | |
| We're just asking for. | 00:16:28 | |
| Commissioner's approval. Do you know when that's going to be awarded? | 00:16:29 | |
| It's basically awarded now as long as we say yes and it's good from the. | 00:16:33 | |
| 31st of. | 00:16:39 | |
| March of this year until. | 00:16:40 | |
| March 31st of 2027. Fantastic. | 00:16:42 | |
| Make a motion. | 00:16:46 | |
| Accept that grant proposal. | 00:16:48 | |
| I'll second all in favor, aye. | 00:16:50 | |
| All right. Thank you. Yep, Next on the list is that a? | 00:16:53 | |
| Quote contract renewal for professional services from. | 00:16:57 | |
| A company called Compass com Compass com. | 00:17:00 | |
| Deals with what's called. | 00:17:03 | |
| What are called ABS? | 00:17:04 | |
| Automated vehicle location devices. | 00:17:06 | |
| These devices are on our Rd. department vehicles, so. | 00:17:09 | |
| During snow storms and everything if. | 00:17:14 | |
| It will alert us if a. | 00:17:17 | |
| Truck is off the road or something happens, we get alerts. We can also track them on maps. | 00:17:19 | |
| That the GIS department provides. | 00:17:26 | |
| To this and so. | 00:17:29 | |
| All this works to where we can check if people are speeding or if a. | 00:17:31 | |
| That their dump truck is. | 00:17:37 | |
| The the bed is up, it should be down and everything else so we can track and make sure that our employees are safe out there at | 00:17:40 | |
| the Highway and Public Works Department. We've been with Compass Confer. | 00:17:45 | |
| Over 8 years that's been a professional services. | 00:17:51 | |
| Contract. | 00:17:53 | |
| They were running a special this year where we could pay 3. | 00:17:55 | |
| Three different ways to pay. Normally it's just been a monthly payment, but they've changed their pay structure a little bit. We | 00:17:59 | |
| can now pay either the monthly, which is that first total. | 00:18:03 | |
| You see, which is a 1575 per month. | 00:18:08 | |
| Or we can pay quarterly, which is that second? | 00:18:11 | |
| Number that you see. | 00:18:14 | |
| And then lastly. | 00:18:17 | |
| On the second page, that would be the yearly amount if we wanted to. | 00:18:18 | |
| Pay it yearly so you have three payment options. | 00:18:22 | |
| I did talk to Stan about it. That's why he's. | 00:18:25 | |
| Here in case. | 00:18:27 | |
| You have any questions about payment types or anything like that? But I have some questions in review in that. So there's three | 00:18:28 | |
| different payment options in the. | 00:18:33 | |
| Dollars look to be quite different, but. | 00:18:37 | |
| When I was looking at it, it's like the first one is a monthly payment option. It's a three-year contract which will be 36 months. | 00:18:40 | |
| Not 42. | 00:18:46 | |
| 42 is the amount of units that. | 00:18:48 | |
| We are, you know that we have out there at the road departments. It's per truck. | 00:18:50 | |
| Yes. | 00:18:55 | |
| So you're paying 1575? | 00:18:56 | |
| 75 per truck. | 00:18:59 | |
| Per month, yes. | 00:19:00 | |
| Oh, got it. | 00:19:02 | |
| OK, so that first total is. | 00:19:04 | |
| Per month total. | 00:19:06 | |
| Yes. | 00:19:08 | |
| And then the next one is a. | 00:19:10 | |
| Quarterly. | 00:19:12 | |
| Total. | 00:19:14 | |
| So if you OK. | 00:19:17 | |
| Yeah, I'm with you. I'm trying to figure out. | 00:19:18 | |
| Figure out. | 00:19:22 | |
| The punch line on this force, for how much it is per total, what the total is. | 00:19:23 | |
| Per option I think when you look at the annual amount. | 00:19:27 | |
| That's probably going to offer one of the better opportunities for Floyd County financially. | 00:19:30 | |
| To do an annual. | 00:19:35 | |
| OK. | 00:19:37 | |
| So that would help our insurance as well too, do you know? | 00:19:39 | |
| I don't, I'll be honest, I I really don't know. | 00:19:44 | |
| We've had come for eight years, so, so. | 00:19:48 | |
| I'm sure I would hope that they're aware. I never really thought about that's a great question. I can I'll reach out to I'll reach | 00:19:55 | |
| out to Tracy tomorrow morning and make sure that that they're aware and. | 00:20:00 | |
| Could have an impact. Well, I think it's a beneficial program nonetheless, but you know, if they could. | 00:20:05 | |
| Help us out in that realm. That would be great too. Absolutely, Sir. We're always looking to save a few pennies. | 00:20:09 | |
| So it looks like the annual option is your best route. | 00:20:14 | |
| OK. Is that correct, Stan? | 00:20:17 | |
| Yes, yeah. | 00:20:20 | |
| Sorry. | 00:20:22 | |
| Oh no, that makes a lot more sense. | 00:20:23 | |
| That's OK and and that's going to be paid out of. | 00:20:26 | |
| I'm looking at the GIS fund since it's all driven by that particular apt. I think of it consulted with Chris. | 00:20:30 | |
| He feels that's probably the safest investment. | 00:20:37 | |
| That to to build this into and pay it from so OK. | 00:20:39 | |
| I mean we, we are the ones that create the maps for it and create all the things that you can see it. | 00:20:43 | |
| On the screen, so without the GIS it. | 00:20:47 | |
| Would not be. | 00:20:50 | |
| A product we would use so is this. | 00:20:52 | |
| What's reasonable? | 00:20:55 | |
| Well, I'll make a motion that we approve on the. | 00:20:57 | |
| Annual schedule. | 00:20:59 | |
| I'll second. OK, all in favor, aye. | 00:21:01 | |
| All right, and. | 00:21:05 | |
| Yeah, one more. Yep, at the. | 00:21:08 | |
| This afternoon stormwater board meeting, it was passed to the commissioners. | 00:21:10 | |
| We have to do a. | 00:21:14 | |
| Annual MS-4 report that talks about all the great things we've done in the stormwater department when it comes to public outreach. | 00:21:16 | |
| Illicit discharge. Good Housekeeping. | 00:21:22 | |
| Public education and everything else. | 00:21:26 | |
| That report is due April 1st. | 00:21:29 | |
| You don't have it in front of you because there is a still a couple of things. | 00:21:33 | |
| We were missing on it, but we do expect to have those by. | 00:21:37 | |
| The end of the week and. | 00:21:41 | |
| What we are asking is. | 00:21:42 | |
| For the. | 00:21:44 | |
| Commissioners to allow. | 00:21:46 | |
| A signature outside of this board meeting. | 00:21:48 | |
| To approve the. | 00:21:51 | |
| Sending the annual port up to item. | 00:21:52 | |
| OK, so, um. | 00:21:56 | |
| Again, as discussed at Stormwater and then reviewed again by Mr. Moore here, I'd just like to have a motion to. | 00:21:58 | |
| Be allowed to sign this outside. | 00:22:04 | |
| Of meeting the contingent upon review by Mr. Moore. | 00:22:06 | |
| And Miss Fox and myself. | 00:22:11 | |
| So moved second. | 00:22:14 | |
| All in favor, aye? | 00:22:16 | |
| Appreciate you. All right. Thank you, EMA Director Kent Barrow. | 00:22:18 | |
| Good evening saving money. | 00:22:26 | |
| Safety Com is a company out of Bloomington. | 00:22:31 | |
| Who is now doing siren maintenance for our? | 00:22:35 | |
| Tornado warning sirens. | 00:22:38 | |
| We've been using in the past federal Field Services, which comes out of Ohio. | 00:22:40 | |
| And that's not been real. | 00:22:45 | |
| Pleasant the last few years trying to get them down here when we have an issue or something because they're so far away. | 00:22:47 | |
| So we've looked into Safety Calm. They've given us a quote for. | 00:22:52 | |
| The 18 sirens that we have, plus the. | 00:22:57 | |
| System that sets them off in dispatch for. | 00:23:01 | |
| $8100. | 00:23:04 | |
| Which is about $450 cheaper than federal SO. | 00:23:05 | |
| So what time of year do they usually do that? | 00:23:09 | |
| Well, that's been another issue because. | 00:23:11 | |
| Federal would come down later in the year. | 00:23:16 | |
| Yeah. | 00:23:19 | |
| And. | 00:23:20 | |
| So we've had conversation with. | 00:23:21 | |
| Safety comma about doing. | 00:23:23 | |
| Now. | 00:23:25 | |
| Now, right? | 00:23:26 | |
| Before the storm season, so they said that's not an issue. | 00:23:28 | |
| Clark County and Harrison counties looking at doing the same thing. | 00:23:32 | |
| Going with the same company. So I don't think it'll be an issue with them at all. Yeah, well, I mean there's a brief discussion | 00:23:36 | |
| about. | 00:23:39 | |
| You know, there's so many ways to. | 00:23:42 | |
| Notify people now, but I think the redundancy is good, so I think. | 00:23:45 | |
| You know, it's a big expense. It's a big expense, but you know, and when you when you hear that siren, that gets your attention | 00:23:50 | |
| and sometimes the other methods don't. | 00:23:54 | |
| Quite work because there's just too much. | 00:23:58 | |
| Noise, right? | 00:24:00 | |
| Can't while you're here, could you? Just briefly? | 00:24:02 | |
| Explain to the public how that process works, how the sirens go off. | 00:24:04 | |
| We're getting ready to get into Storm season. If you could just give a. | 00:24:08 | |
| And we have 18 sirens throughout the. | 00:24:11 | |
| County and city of New Albany. | 00:24:13 | |
| The National Weather Service will issue a. | 00:24:16 | |
| Tornado warning. | 00:24:18 | |
| And our dispatch center picks that that gets that warning sent to them through. | 00:24:20 | |
| Their system and. | 00:24:27 | |
| Then they initiate the warning sirens from. | 00:24:30 | |
| From dispatch. | 00:24:33 | |
| OK. | 00:24:34 | |
| All right, all right. Well, I have no further questions. They still test them on Saturdays. Test first Saturday of the month. | 00:24:36 | |
| It was 10:00 or something. It's at noon, noon unless there's inclement weather. | 00:24:43 | |
| We asked him, you know not to do that then. | 00:24:48 | |
| And next week is. | 00:24:52 | |
| Tornado Awareness Week, so they'll be sounded next probably Tuesday or Wednesday. I'm not sure of the date yet. | 00:24:58 | |
| I'll make a motion. Approve. | 00:25:06 | |
| I'll second. | 00:25:08 | |
| And motion and a second. All in favor, aye. | 00:25:09 | |
| Alright, thank you. | 00:25:12 | |
| Thank you. And that has been coming out of E911 money. | 00:25:13 | |
| Yeah. | 00:25:17 | |
| All right, Thank you. County Attorney Christy Fox. | 00:25:19 | |
| Of course, first thing I have is the award of bids for 3317 Grant Line Rd. This is the health department slash building department | 00:25:22 | |
| slash. | 00:25:26 | |
| I don't know if we have an official name, Nick. | 00:25:31 | |
| Health and Human Services Building. Thank you. | 00:25:35 | |
| So this was actually awarded at the last meeting, contingent upon the apparent low bidder being the low responsible and responsive | 00:25:38 | |
| bidder. | 00:25:44 | |
| After the meeting, it was determined that they had a discrepancy in their bid. | 00:25:49 | |
| And they were not able to honor the low bid that was read aloud at the meeting. | 00:25:54 | |
| And presented on their their bid documents and therefore they have withdrawn their bids so. | 00:25:58 | |
| Asking for you all to enter into a written decision. | 00:26:03 | |
| Accepting their withdrawal of their bid. | 00:26:07 | |
| Given the defect in the bid submitted. | 00:26:10 | |
| And then awarding to the next. | 00:26:12 | |
| Lowest responsible and responsive bidder. | 00:26:15 | |
| Seaford construction so that we can proceed forward with that. | 00:26:17 | |
| So that's the first step. | 00:26:22 | |
| And then I'll talk about their contract thereafter. | 00:26:23 | |
| OK, kind of an unusual. | 00:26:28 | |
| Set of circumstances but. | 00:26:30 | |
| We're following things out to the legal letter on this, so I have no further questions on. | 00:26:33 | |
| OK, I'll, I'll look for a motion to accept and sign the what you call this a letter of explanation of or a letter of acceptance of | 00:26:38 | |
| the withdrawal, the written decision as well as awarding to Seifert. | 00:26:45 | |
| All right, so moved. | 00:26:52 | |
| Second all in favor, aye. | 00:26:54 | |
| OK. The next thing will be that we do expect and anticipate that Seifert will get us a contract. | 00:26:58 | |
| For review hopefully the next couple days here. | 00:27:03 | |
| I would ask that you all. | 00:27:06 | |
| We already expect that to be in the form of a kind of a standard template, and so we would ask that. | 00:27:08 | |
| That be approved. | 00:27:15 | |
| Contingent upon review by Nick and myself, as well as Tower Pinkster. | 00:27:17 | |
| And allow for that to be signed outside of the meeting so that we can proceed forward with that work. | 00:27:22 | |
| Hopefully this week. | 00:27:27 | |
| Yeah, it would be incredible if we could get that underway this week. So looking for a motion to approve. | 00:27:29 | |
| As suggested by attorney. | 00:27:34 | |
| So moved. | 00:27:36 | |

| Now I'll look for a motion to approve. | 00:07:29 | |

| And I'll second. | 00:07:34 | |
| All in favor, aye aye. | 00:07:35 | |
| All right. We'll move on to the awarding of the bids that were opened at last meeting for the road department. | 00:07:41 | |
| We have. | 00:07:50 | |
| Palmer truck bid was the. | 00:07:52 | |
| Bid for the tandem trucks, the total was four, 33400. | 00:07:54 | |
| For 2 tracks. | 00:07:59 | |
| All right, and. | 00:08:09 | |
| Would you like to discuss financing on that or not? | 00:08:11 | |
| I hope you already have some. | 00:08:15 | |
| Some proposal in that correct? | 00:08:17 | |
| We'd like to, we'd like to suggest that that money for the tandem trucks and the rotational process comes out of the Gold Bond | 00:08:19 | |
| funds. | 00:08:23 | |
| We, we kind of laid that out there as a tentative plan for you to evaluate. | 00:08:28 | |
| As well so. | 00:08:32 | |
| That that's a that's kind of what we're hoping will sustain. | 00:08:34 | |
| This rotational process for these trucks for. | 00:08:38 | |
| OK. I mean, I think we've had plenty of time to look that over. | 00:08:42 | |
| And. | 00:08:45 | |
| We're definitely in need what we we had. | 00:08:46 | |
| Three trucks go down during the last or four. OK, I was. | 00:08:49 | |
| I thought that one might have been hopefully. | 00:08:52 | |
| Possibly repairable. | 00:08:55 | |
| 334 have been periods. | 00:08:58 | |
| Got it. OK, alright. | 00:09:01 | |
| I have no further questions regarding the matter. | 00:09:03 | |
| We look for a motion. | 00:09:08 | |
| Yes, please. Yeah, I'll make a motion to approve. | 00:09:10 | |
| I'll second. | 00:09:12 | |
| OK, all in favor, aye? | 00:09:13 | |
| Then the second bid. | 00:09:16 | |
| We had from last week was or from last meeting was for the equipment for the road department. | 00:09:18 | |
| That total was 1,000,196 three 3260. | 00:09:25 | |
| For various equipment. | 00:09:31 | |
| Stan can update you on the. | 00:09:33 | |
| Payment financing. | 00:09:36 | |
| I reached out to Ron Mangas at the Indiana Bond Bank. | 00:09:39 | |
| Not wanting to commit Gold Bond monies. | 00:09:42 | |
| But what it? | 00:09:45 | |
| Ron had offered a couple of suggestions we already have. | 00:09:47 | |
| Floyd County already has established accounts through the Indiana Bond Bank. | 00:09:50 | |
| Which makes this process. | 00:09:53 | |
| And I've sent all the documentation with Christy to review a little bit more seamless. | 00:09:55 | |
| We don't have to go through an application process. It's already on file. They know where financial status is. | 00:10:00 | |
| They sent us back a an estimated. | 00:10:06 | |
| Timeline payment. I asked for a maybe a potential six year plan. | 00:10:09 | |
| To pay it over a period to six years. | 00:10:13 | |
| The payments were, I believe it was 107. | 00:10:15 | |
| Roughly $500. | 00:10:18 | |
| Semi annually for the payments for the next 6 years starting in August of this year. | 00:10:20 | |
| We just had the one go bond that actually or the one. | 00:10:26 | |
| US Bancorp. | 00:10:30 | |
| Lease agreement, Lease to buy agreement roll off. We've made our final payment. | 00:10:31 | |
| The first part of this year. | 00:10:35 | |
| Which would free up some money. | 00:10:37 | |
| To allow us to sustain the payments over the next six years. | 00:10:39 | |
| It just seemed like a plausible time frame. I did get A5 and A7. | 00:10:43 | |
| It's we got a 3.69 rate for the six year. | 00:10:47 | |
| It's still active as of today. So I don't know if Christy had any additional questions at this point, but. | 00:10:52 | |
| No other than $30,000 down payment. | 00:10:59 | |
| Prior to. | 00:11:02 | |
| Entering into the lease to purchase lease purchase agreement with US Bancorp for the remaining balance, correct? | 00:11:05 | |
| That because we had all that we had already had already requested the quote. | 00:11:12 | |
| We can go back and re request if DB. | 00:11:16 | |
| But. | 00:11:19 | |
| An option would be to take $30,000 of the gold mine funds. | 00:11:20 | |
| Apply that to the difference between the 1.169 that. | 00:11:24 | |
| US Bancorp proposed in financing for this project. | 00:11:28 | |
| Which was what we were given during the initial process. | 00:11:31 | |
| Versus the 1.196? | 00:11:35 | |
| Which is the final? Well, the current bid. | 00:11:38 | |
| That's on the table right now, so that $30,000 will make up that difference. | 00:11:41 | |
| To allow us to move forward. Yes, ma'am. | 00:11:45 | |
| So I think. | 00:11:47 | |
| Umm, are you saying there would be two options? Either they could take out the full 1.196 but we have to go back and negotiate | 00:11:48 | |
| with Bancorp? US Bancorp or? | 00:11:52 | |
| Pay 30,000 from the GO bond and stick with the current schedule that US Bancorp has provided. | 00:11:57 | |
| With 107. | 00:12:02 | |
| 1000 twice a year for six years. Yes, ma'am, that's correct. | 00:12:04 | |
| And so with that in mind, the proposal or what we have from US Bancorps, a proposal, so. | 00:12:09 | |
| If that's the route we're going to go, is paying 30 from go bond proceeds and then. | 00:12:15 | |
| Utilizing the schedule US Bancorp has set out as a proposal. | 00:12:19 | |
| That you all prove that. | 00:12:23 | |
| And accept the proposal and use the 30,000 from Go Bonds. | 00:12:25 | |
| And then obviously. | 00:12:29 | |
| The actual lease and loan documents from. | 00:12:30 | |
| U.S. bank coordinates to come back to the board for approval. | 00:12:33 | |
| I don't know timing on that, if we if we would get that and then line that up with the March 17th meeting or? | 00:12:37 | |
| After speaking to U.S. bank or my contact there says that really they're ready to go since we've already applied and got the | 00:12:43 | |
| entire process laid out. | 00:12:47 | |
| I'm sure that they could meet the March 17th Atlantic man. | 00:12:53 | |
| OK. And we've already itemized these. | 00:12:57 | |
| Purchases. | 00:13:00 | |
| At public meeting before, but I'd like to make sure that they're available for the public, so. | 00:13:01 | |
| Cindy, I don't know if you have that list of equipment. | 00:13:06 | |
| We we have them here that we. | 00:13:09 | |
| Make them available on that input. Please read it off briefly. I mean communal multi purpose tractor with orbital 7 boom. | 00:13:12 | |
| With multiple attachments, enter enter green American model. | 00:13:21 | |
| Aspen Fast 7 Boom Taco Hurricane 425 Deer our leaf collector trailer. | 00:13:25 | |
| Step manufacturer Asphalt dump trailer hot box. | 00:13:31 | |
| Step manufacturer manufacturing mastic machine in a 2014 global M4 St. sweeper. | 00:13:35 | |
| OK. If there are no further questions from the board, I'd look for. | 00:13:43 | |
| Formal approval of the equipment purchase contingent upon. | 00:13:46 | |
| Financing working out as. | 00:13:50 | |
| Discuss this evening. | 00:13:52 | |
| Select second. All in favor aye. | 00:13:54 | |
| Thank you. And that's. | 00:13:59 | |
| A lot of moving parts on that particular one, yeah. | 00:14:01 | |
| And then the final item is the. | 00:14:05 | |
| Letter of support for the town of Georgetown. This is as you'll lead to the for amphitheater. It is for a grant application. | 00:14:07 | |
| For Ready to Arts and Culture funding. | 00:14:16 | |
| They just requested that we provide a letter of support for that. | 00:14:20 | |
| And I've drafted one up. | 00:14:25 | |
| Yeah, I think they're doing wonderful things over there. It's been like one thing after another in Georgetown, so. | 00:14:27 | |
| Yes, they certainly have have. | 00:14:34 | |
| My support and I suspect collectively as well, absolutely, I agree with you. I think they're doing a fantastic job out there, but | 00:14:36 | |
| both them in Greenville. | 00:14:39 | |
| They're doing some great things so. | 00:14:43 | |
| I'll make a motion to approve. | 00:14:45 | |
| I'll second all in favor, aye. | 00:14:46 | |
| All right. Stormwater director Chris Moore. | 00:14:54 | |
| Thank you gentlemen, for letting me come up. | 00:14:59 | |
| This evening. | 00:15:01 | |
| Got three things for you? | 00:15:02 | |
| 1st. | 00:15:04 | |
| Is the seeds grant. | 00:15:04 | |
| The state of Indiana is providing. | 00:15:07 | |
| Grants did their Indiana Office of Technology. | 00:15:10 | |
| We are asking for $7500. | 00:15:14 | |
| This grant is for. | 00:15:18 | |
| Getting our. | 00:15:21 | |
| Parcel layer. | 00:15:23 | |
| Our center line. | 00:15:24 | |
| Road layer and our address layer up to the new. | 00:15:25 | |
| Next Gen. 911 standard Next Gen. 911 basically takes. | 00:15:28 | |
| Whenever you call a 911 system. | 00:15:33 | |
| It takes it to where it used to be Rotary phones and they could. | 00:15:36 | |
| Tied in that way, which is the old M sag. | 00:15:39 | |
| But your friend knows a little bit about this. | 00:15:41 | |
| Frank still has a Rotary phone. | 00:15:43 | |
| They're going back to. | 00:15:46 | |
| Cell phones, which is. | 00:15:48 | |
| Takes it to the next gym. | 00:15:50 | |
| Of the E 91. | 00:15:52 | |
| E911. | 00:15:53 | |
| System Now our layers aren't used in dispatch. | 00:15:55 | |
| This batch has their own layers and everything else, but what? | 00:15:58 | |
| This will do is. | 00:16:00 | |
| Our layers are used by EMA and other departments so it would then match. | 00:16:02 | |
| What the dispatch has so it. | 00:16:07 | |
| For some reason. | 00:16:09 | |
| They can't get dispatches. | 00:16:10 | |
| Letters, they have our layers to be able to use that would be able to show up and everything else. So it's the pass through Grant. | 00:16:13 | |
| No match money needed by us. | 00:16:20 | |
| We have a company that will do the work for 7500 and. | 00:16:24 | |
| We're just asking for. | 00:16:28 | |
| Commissioner's approval. Do you know when that's going to be awarded? | 00:16:29 | |
| It's basically awarded now as long as we say yes and it's good from the. | 00:16:33 | |
| 31st of. | 00:16:39 | |
| March of this year until. | 00:16:40 | |
| March 31st of 2027. Fantastic. | 00:16:42 | |
| Make a motion. | 00:16:46 | |
| Accept that grant proposal. | 00:16:48 | |
| I'll second all in favor, aye. | 00:16:50 | |
| All right. Thank you. Yep, Next on the list is that a? | 00:16:53 | |
| Quote contract renewal for professional services from. | 00:16:57 | |
| A company called Compass com Compass com. | 00:17:00 | |
| Deals with what's called. | 00:17:03 | |
| What are called ABS? | 00:17:04 | |
| Automated vehicle location devices. | 00:17:06 | |
| These devices are on our Rd. department vehicles, so. | 00:17:09 | |
| During snow storms and everything if. | 00:17:14 | |
| It will alert us if a. | 00:17:17 | |
| Truck is off the road or something happens, we get alerts. We can also track them on maps. | 00:17:19 | |
| That the GIS department provides. | 00:17:26 | |
| To this and so. | 00:17:29 | |
| All this works to where we can check if people are speeding or if a. | 00:17:31 | |
| That their dump truck is. | 00:17:37 | |
| The the bed is up, it should be down and everything else so we can track and make sure that our employees are safe out there at | 00:17:40 | |
| the Highway and Public Works Department. We've been with Compass Confer. | 00:17:45 | |
| Over 8 years that's been a professional services. | 00:17:51 | |
| Contract. | 00:17:53 | |
| They were running a special this year where we could pay 3. | 00:17:55 | |
| Three different ways to pay. Normally it's just been a monthly payment, but they've changed their pay structure a little bit. We | 00:17:59 | |
| can now pay either the monthly, which is that first total. | 00:18:03 | |
| You see, which is a 1575 per month. | 00:18:08 | |
| Or we can pay quarterly, which is that second? | 00:18:11 | |
| Number that you see. | 00:18:14 | |
| And then lastly. | 00:18:17 | |
| On the second page, that would be the yearly amount if we wanted to. | 00:18:18 | |
| Pay it yearly so you have three payment options. | 00:18:22 | |
| I did talk to Stan about it. That's why he's. | 00:18:25 | |
| Here in case. | 00:18:27 | |
| You have any questions about payment types or anything like that? But I have some questions in review in that. So there's three | 00:18:28 | |
| different payment options in the. | 00:18:33 | |
| Dollars look to be quite different, but. | 00:18:37 | |
| When I was looking at it, it's like the first one is a monthly payment option. It's a three-year contract which will be 36 months. | 00:18:40 | |
| Not 42. | 00:18:46 | |
| 42 is the amount of units that. | 00:18:48 | |
| We are, you know that we have out there at the road departments. It's per truck. | 00:18:50 | |
| Yes. | 00:18:55 | |
| So you're paying 1575? | 00:18:56 | |
| 75 per truck. | 00:18:59 | |
| Per month, yes. | 00:19:00 | |
| Oh, got it. | 00:19:02 | |
| OK, so that first total is. | 00:19:04 | |
| Per month total. | 00:19:06 | |
| Yes. | 00:19:08 | |
| And then the next one is a. | 00:19:10 | |
| Quarterly. | 00:19:12 | |
| Total. | 00:19:14 | |
| So if you OK. | 00:19:17 | |
| Yeah, I'm with you. I'm trying to figure out. | 00:19:18 | |
| Figure out. | 00:19:22 | |
| The punch line on this force, for how much it is per total, what the total is. | 00:19:23 | |
| Per option I think when you look at the annual amount. | 00:19:27 | |
| That's probably going to offer one of the better opportunities for Floyd County financially. | 00:19:30 | |
| To do an annual. | 00:19:35 | |
| OK. | 00:19:37 | |
| So that would help our insurance as well too, do you know? | 00:19:39 | |
| I don't, I'll be honest, I I really don't know. | 00:19:44 | |
| We've had come for eight years, so, so. | 00:19:48 | |
| I'm sure I would hope that they're aware. I never really thought about that's a great question. I can I'll reach out to I'll reach | 00:19:55 | |
| out to Tracy tomorrow morning and make sure that that they're aware and. | 00:20:00 | |
| Could have an impact. Well, I think it's a beneficial program nonetheless, but you know, if they could. | 00:20:05 | |
| Help us out in that realm. That would be great too. Absolutely, Sir. We're always looking to save a few pennies. | 00:20:09 | |
| So it looks like the annual option is your best route. | 00:20:14 | |
| OK. Is that correct, Stan? | 00:20:17 | |
| Yes, yeah. | 00:20:20 | |
| Sorry. | 00:20:22 | |
| Oh no, that makes a lot more sense. | 00:20:23 | |
| That's OK and and that's going to be paid out of. | 00:20:26 | |
| I'm looking at the GIS fund since it's all driven by that particular apt. I think of it consulted with Chris. | 00:20:30 | |
| He feels that's probably the safest investment. | 00:20:37 | |
| That to to build this into and pay it from so OK. | 00:20:39 | |
| I mean we, we are the ones that create the maps for it and create all the things that you can see it. | 00:20:43 | |
| On the screen, so without the GIS it. | 00:20:47 | |
| Would not be. | 00:20:50 | |
| A product we would use so is this. | 00:20:52 | |
| What's reasonable? | 00:20:55 | |
| Well, I'll make a motion that we approve on the. | 00:20:57 | |
| Annual schedule. | 00:20:59 | |
| I'll second. OK, all in favor, aye. | 00:21:01 | |
| All right, and. | 00:21:05 | |
| Yeah, one more. Yep, at the. | 00:21:08 | |
| This afternoon stormwater board meeting, it was passed to the commissioners. | 00:21:10 | |
| We have to do a. | 00:21:14 | |
| Annual MS-4 report that talks about all the great things we've done in the stormwater department when it comes to public outreach. | 00:21:16 | |
| Illicit discharge. Good Housekeeping. | 00:21:22 | |
| Public education and everything else. | 00:21:26 | |
| That report is due April 1st. | 00:21:29 | |
| You don't have it in front of you because there is a still a couple of things. | 00:21:33 | |
| We were missing on it, but we do expect to have those by. | 00:21:37 | |
| The end of the week and. | 00:21:41 | |
| What we are asking is. | 00:21:42 | |
| For the. | 00:21:44 | |
| Commissioners to allow. | 00:21:46 | |
| A signature outside of this board meeting. | 00:21:48 | |
| To approve the. | 00:21:51 | |
| Sending the annual port up to item. | 00:21:52 | |
| OK, so, um. | 00:21:56 | |
| Again, as discussed at Stormwater and then reviewed again by Mr. Moore here, I'd just like to have a motion to. | 00:21:58 | |
| Be allowed to sign this outside. | 00:22:04 | |
| Of meeting the contingent upon review by Mr. Moore. | 00:22:06 | |
| And Miss Fox and myself. | 00:22:11 | |
| So moved second. | 00:22:14 | |
| All in favor, aye? | 00:22:16 | |
| Appreciate you. All right. Thank you, EMA Director Kent Barrow. | 00:22:18 | |
| Good evening saving money. | 00:22:26 | |
| Safety Com is a company out of Bloomington. | 00:22:31 | |
| Who is now doing siren maintenance for our? | 00:22:35 | |
| Tornado warning sirens. | 00:22:38 | |
| We've been using in the past federal Field Services, which comes out of Ohio. | 00:22:40 | |
| And that's not been real. | 00:22:45 | |
| Pleasant the last few years trying to get them down here when we have an issue or something because they're so far away. | 00:22:47 | |
| So we've looked into Safety Calm. They've given us a quote for. | 00:22:52 | |
| The 18 sirens that we have, plus the. | 00:22:57 | |
| System that sets them off in dispatch for. | 00:23:01 | |
| $8100. | 00:23:04 | |
| Which is about $450 cheaper than federal SO. | 00:23:05 | |
| So what time of year do they usually do that? | 00:23:09 | |
| Well, that's been another issue because. | 00:23:11 | |
| Federal would come down later in the year. | 00:23:16 | |
| Yeah. | 00:23:19 | |
| And. | 00:23:20 | |
| So we've had conversation with. | 00:23:21 | |
| Safety comma about doing. | 00:23:23 | |
| Now. | 00:23:25 | |
| Now, right? | 00:23:26 | |
| Before the storm season, so they said that's not an issue. | 00:23:28 | |
| Clark County and Harrison counties looking at doing the same thing. | 00:23:32 | |
| Going with the same company. So I don't think it'll be an issue with them at all. Yeah, well, I mean there's a brief discussion | 00:23:36 | |
| about. | 00:23:39 | |
| You know, there's so many ways to. | 00:23:42 | |
| Notify people now, but I think the redundancy is good, so I think. | 00:23:45 | |
| You know, it's a big expense. It's a big expense, but you know, and when you when you hear that siren, that gets your attention | 00:23:50 | |
| and sometimes the other methods don't. | 00:23:54 | |
| Quite work because there's just too much. | 00:23:58 | |
| Noise, right? | 00:24:00 | |
| Can't while you're here, could you? Just briefly? | 00:24:02 | |
| Explain to the public how that process works, how the sirens go off. | 00:24:04 | |
| We're getting ready to get into Storm season. If you could just give a. | 00:24:08 | |
| And we have 18 sirens throughout the. | 00:24:11 | |
| County and city of New Albany. | 00:24:13 | |
| The National Weather Service will issue a. | 00:24:16 | |
| Tornado warning. | 00:24:18 | |
| And our dispatch center picks that that gets that warning sent to them through. | 00:24:20 | |
| Their system and. | 00:24:27 | |
| Then they initiate the warning sirens from. | 00:24:30 | |
| From dispatch. | 00:24:33 | |
| OK. | 00:24:34 | |
| All right, all right. Well, I have no further questions. They still test them on Saturdays. Test first Saturday of the month. | 00:24:36 | |
| It was 10:00 or something. It's at noon, noon unless there's inclement weather. | 00:24:43 | |
| We asked him, you know not to do that then. | 00:24:48 | |
| And next week is. | 00:24:52 | |
| Tornado Awareness Week, so they'll be sounded next probably Tuesday or Wednesday. I'm not sure of the date yet. | 00:24:58 | |
| I'll make a motion. Approve. | 00:25:06 | |
| I'll second. | 00:25:08 | |
| And motion and a second. All in favor, aye. | 00:25:09 | |
| Alright, thank you. | 00:25:12 | |
| Thank you. And that has been coming out of E911 money. | 00:25:13 | |
| Yeah. | 00:25:17 | |
| All right, Thank you. County Attorney Christy Fox. | 00:25:19 | |
| Of course, first thing I have is the award of bids for 3317 Grant Line Rd. This is the health department slash building department | 00:25:22 | |
| slash. | 00:25:26 | |
| I don't know if we have an official name, Nick. | 00:25:31 | |
| Health and Human Services Building. Thank you. | 00:25:35 | |
| So this was actually awarded at the last meeting, contingent upon the apparent low bidder being the low responsible and responsive | 00:25:38 | |
| bidder. | 00:25:44 | |
| After the meeting, it was determined that they had a discrepancy in their bid. | 00:25:49 | |
| And they were not able to honor the low bid that was read aloud at the meeting. | 00:25:54 | |
| And presented on their their bid documents and therefore they have withdrawn their bids so. | 00:25:58 | |
| Asking for you all to enter into a written decision. | 00:26:03 | |
| Accepting their withdrawal of their bid. | 00:26:07 | |
| Given the defect in the bid submitted. | 00:26:10 | |

| Lowest responsible and responsive bidder. | 00:26:15 | |
| Seaford construction so that we can proceed forward with that. | 00:26:17 | |
