| I was going down Alonzo Smith and I saw a stack brokerage recycle the paper. I bring it up in my car. | 00:00:00 | |
| So I had the chance to spend all day with them on Thursday. | 00:00:06 | |
| Recycling. | 00:00:10 | |
| Thank you. | 00:00:14 | |
| What are you gonna be doing with him? | 00:00:17 | |
| The same thing they do. | 00:00:19 | |
| Oh, taking stuff out of your car and bumping it into a. | 00:00:21 | |
| Really. Yeah. | 00:00:28 | |
| Because I'll drive up and they're like, oh, here's the cat can lady. | 00:00:29 | |
| Thanks for being 2 minutes behind, although that clock I think might be a hair fast. | 00:00:35 | |
| In fairness to me. | 00:00:40 | |
| If you'll join us for the Pledge of Allegiance. | 00:00:42 | |
| I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America. | 00:00:44 | |
| And to the Republic for which it stands. | 00:00:48 | |
| One nation under God. | 00:00:51 | |
| Indivisible. | 00:00:53 | |
| With liberty and justice for all. | 00:00:54 | |
| All right, welcome and thank you. We have. | 00:00:58 | |
| Fairly busy agenda if you will. Please silence your cell phones and if you need to use them, the hallway is yours. | 00:01:00 | |
| And we'll begin with a moment of silence, just for individual prayer, meditation, or reflection. | 00:01:08 | |
| In preparation for tonight's meeting. | 00:01:14 | |
| All right. Thank you very much. | 00:01:33 | |
| New business. | 00:01:37 | |
| Of Nick Creevy. | 00:01:39 | |
| You ready? | 00:01:41 | |
| Deep in thought. | 00:01:44 | |
| I don't have much. | 00:01:46 | |
| To present here for the first two items, we have bid openings for equipment at the road department. | 00:01:47 | |
| And a bit opening for the building at 3317. | 00:01:52 | |
| OK. Do we have any? | 00:01:58 | |
| One president who would like to submit a late bid or a timely bid in person for the 2026 road department equipment. | 00:02:00 | |
| All right, seeing none, how many do we have for the road department? | 00:02:08 | |
| We have 2. | 00:02:12 | |
| Commissioner Loop will open those up. | 00:02:21 | |
| Read Aloud and Commissioner Sharp can. | 00:02:24 | |
| Document that. | 00:02:27 | |
| This is from. | 00:02:47 | |
| Kenworth, Louisville. Palmer Trucks. | 00:02:49 | |
| Total cost for two trucks. | 00:02:55 | |
| 433,400. | 00:02:57 | |
| OK. | 00:03:03 | |
| OK, since we got a lot of tape on. | 00:03:15 | |
| Well, that is a double closed bid. | 00:03:23 | |
| 3 layers of tape on that. | 00:03:27 | |
| It's like one of my Christmas presents. | 00:03:29 | |
| This one's from Brown. | 00:03:34 | |
| Equipment. | 00:03:36 | |
| This one is. | 00:03:56 | |
| OK, I'm confused. It says package 2 on it. | 00:03:58 | |
| Does that mean there's package 1 somewhere? | 00:04:04 | |
| Two separate packages were bid. | 00:04:11 | |
| There are two separate proposals, so they must only be bidding on package 2. | 00:04:13 | |
| Oh OK, I get it. | 00:04:17 | |
| That's all that happened there, I believe. Package one in the paper with the trucks. | 00:04:20 | |
| OK. This is for package 2:00 then that's from Brown. | 00:04:26 | |
| For one million 196332. | 00:04:30 | |
| .60. | 00:04:33 | |
| Can you give me that number one time? | 00:04:35 | |
| Frankie, I don't believe so. | 00:04:38 | |
| Hey Sydney, just for public knowledge, if package one was for the trucks, then package 2 was for the ancillary equipment? | 00:04:43 | |
| Yes, it's already been made public record. | 00:04:50 | |
| No, that's it. | 00:04:56 | |
| Yeah, and the advertisements in here. | 00:05:00 | |
| Correct. And you do have an amount on that. | 00:05:03 | |
| Yes. | 00:05:05 | |
| All right, $1,196,332.60. | 00:05:07 | |
| All right. And I'll look for a motion to take these bids under advisement as they were the only two for that road department | 00:05:14 | |
| equipment. | 00:05:17 | |
| Summit second. All in the favor. | 00:05:20 | |
| Aye. | 00:05:23 | |
| All right. We'll move on to the bid opening, Department of Health, Human Services and Inspection Center. Is there anyone here? | 00:05:25 | |
| President, who would like to put in a. | 00:05:31 | |
| Did in person on that. | 00:05:33 | |
| OK. And how many do we have on that? | 00:05:36 | |
| 3455. | 00:05:40 | |
| First ones from AML. | 00:05:54 | |
| To find the page with the total on it. | 00:06:14 | |
| Have we not moved to the cover sheet with the? | 00:06:25 | |
| Prescribed. Highlighted. | 00:06:28 | |
| I apologize, I did not include that in the advertisement for this one. OK. I think going forward we should do that. Just I love. | 00:06:32 | |
| The build up of suspense as much as anybody but. | 00:06:40 | |
| Poor Doctor Jensen's paying Mr. Craft by the hour. | 00:06:44 | |
| That's why he wanted you move to the bottom of the agenda. | 00:06:56 | |
| So they've been on the alternatives. | 00:07:05 | |
| Here it is no. | 00:07:10 | |
| I have a bid sheet from Tyler Pinkster that has all the alternative stuff. | 00:07:16 | |
| And I see the alternatives on there, but there's no base bed. | 00:07:19 | |
| See it shows. | 00:07:23 | |
| What they've done in the past. | 00:07:28 | |
| Is there a second this is the second is other documents? | 00:07:41 | |
| Is it just another problem? | 00:07:44 | |
| This one. | 00:07:46 | |

| What was the estimate on those going into the bidding? | 00:14:05 | |
| 2.4. | 00:14:09 | |
| OK. | 00:14:10 | |
| All right. We're in receipt of those and I'll look for a motion to accept the lowest. | 00:14:13 | |
| With some provisions. | 00:14:19 | |
| Of course, you may outline those briefly, so if you're going to. | 00:14:21 | |
| Award contingent on award to the parent. Lowest bidder. | 00:14:24 | |
| Contingent on review and approval by Tower Pinkster Nick myself. | 00:14:29 | |
| To ensure that they are the lowest, most responsive. | 00:14:33 | |
| So I'll make a motion to accept the apparent low bidder conting. | 00:14:38 | |
| On uh. | 00:14:42 | |
| Not only the price, but the most responsive. | 00:14:43 | |
| And I'll second. | 00:14:46 | |
| All in favor, aye? | 00:14:47 | |
| Aye. | 00:14:49 | |
| Thank you to everyone who submitted the bid on both of those packages. | 00:14:50 | |
| Before proceeding to item one, CI do have a couple of. | 00:14:54 | |
| Items I'd like to add to the agenda under. | 00:14:58 | |
| Mr. Creevy. | 00:15:01 | |
| 1st and I failed to do this earlier so I apologize. I'd like to have these added by unanimous consent number. | 00:15:04 | |
| First item is item 1G which would be to. | 00:15:10 | |
| Add the acceptance of a household hazardous waste RFP. | 00:15:15 | |
| And the second is for the addition of a dumpster for the Grant Line Rd. preliminary demolition for the Health Department building. | 00:15:18 | |
| I'll make that motion with unanimous consent. | 00:15:26 | |
| Now second all in favor. Aye aye. | 00:15:28 | |
| Alright, thank you. | 00:15:31 | |
| All right. Continuing with 1C. | 00:15:38 | |
| Item C Development agreement and license to use right away at 750 Highlander Point. | 00:15:41 | |
| The Floyd County Planning Commission Plat Review Committee. | 00:15:48 | |
| Reviewed the project the. | 00:15:52 | |
| Owner is requesting the county permit. | 00:15:54 | |
| Him to use. | 00:15:58 | |
| Apparent County right away. | 00:16:00 | |
| In order to extend the parking lot. | 00:16:03 | |
| It has been reviewed by the Planning Commission and approved by the Planning Committee. | 00:16:06 | |
| In the development agreement. | 00:16:11 | |
| There is provisions. | 00:16:13 | |
| To relinquish that. | 00:16:16 | |
| Area. | 00:16:18 | |
| Should when, when and if the county requires that right away back. | 00:16:19 | |
| For either roadway expansion or any other purposes. | 00:16:25 | |
| And allows for 30 days to do that. | 00:16:28 | |
| County Attorney Christy Fox has reviewed that development agreement. | 00:16:31 | |
| And and approved the language in there. | 00:16:36 | |
| Yeah. I think we've had ample opportunity to review this. I have no further questions or concerns on it. | 00:16:39 | |
| I'm either I'll make a motion that we accept it. | 00:16:43 | |
| I'll second. OK, All in favor, aye aye. | 00:16:47 | |
| All right. Thank you, gentlemen. | 00:16:50 | |
| And I, I should have bumped you up to the beginning. I apologize, but we had several people waiting on the other. | 00:16:52 | |
| All right, item D We have the Floyd County Government Center office furniture we received. We requested quotes and received 2 | 00:17:03 | |
| quotes, one from Starlight Design. | 00:17:08 | |
| Another from. | 00:17:14 | |
| LW. | 00:17:16 | |
| Office Furniture LLC. | 00:17:19 | |
| The low quote was from Starlight Design in the amount of. | 00:17:22 | |
| $41,526. | 00:17:26 | |
| And this is to provide furniture for the. | 00:17:30 | |
| Second and third floors of that all right, and we already had. | 00:17:34 | |
| Money is allocated for that. | 00:17:37 | |
| Yes, yeah, OK. | 00:17:39 | |
| I have no further questions on this I. | 00:17:41 | |
| I would. | 00:17:44 | |
| Proposed that we. | 00:17:44 | |
| Move forward with the longest bid. Yeah, I'll make that motion to move forward with the Starlight designs. | 00:17:46 | |
| I'll second all in favor, aye. | 00:17:51 | |
| The next item is an elevator maintenance monthly quote. | 00:17:55 | |
| For the 3317 Grand Rd. building. | 00:17:58 | |
| We obtained 2 service quotes, one was from Murphy Elevator Company. | 00:18:03 | |
| We provided A quarterly service. | 00:18:08 | |
| In the amount of $195 per quarter. | 00:18:11 | |
| And then we had a quote from Executive Elevator company which provided for monthly service. | 00:18:17 | |
| At $100 per month. | 00:18:24 | |
| Staff recommendation would be to proceed with the Murphy quarterly. It's a it's lower for similar service. | 00:18:27 | |
| Make a motion to accept Murphy's. | 00:18:35 | |
| And I'll say. | 00:18:38 | |
| A motion and a second all in favor, aye? | 00:18:39 | |
| Item F is a lake maintenance agreement. This is was referred to the commissioners from the Redevelopment Commission. This is for | 00:18:44 | |
| maintenance of the lakes ponds. | 00:18:50 | |
| At. | 00:18:56 | |
| April through September by. | 00:18:58 | |
| Weekly treatment of that. | 00:19:00 | |
| Of those ponds to prevent outrage old. | 00:19:03 | |
| Blooms and, you know, unsightly vegetation growth. | 00:19:06 | |
| The amount is 2880. This is. | 00:19:10 | |
| Renewal contract. This is whoever is. | 00:19:13 | |
| Brett Pryor. | 00:19:15 | |
| Where did that come out? | 00:19:18 | |
| Did that redevelopment or not? | 00:19:19 | |
| So funding is out of edit maintenance lineup. | 00:19:21 | |
| I'll make a motion to approve. | 00:19:28 | |
| I'll second. | 00:19:30 | |
| All right. All in favor, aye. | 00:19:31 | |
| Item G which was added or the dumpster. | 00:19:35 | |
| For preliminary demolition at the 3317 Grant Line Rd. building, just just for continuity, I think G was the household hazardous | 00:19:40 | |
| waste, as I verbally put it, and I apologize. That's fine. | 00:19:46 | |
| Item G is then the household hazardous waste. | 00:19:53 | |
| This was a RFP response from Caldwell Environmental. | 00:19:57 | |
| I believe we just are. | 00:20:04 | |
| Awarding, awarding the RFP to that response and then we will negotiate. | 00:20:07 | |
| OK. And that was the only bid on that. So I would look for a motion to accept. So moved. | 00:20:14 | |
| 2nd. | 00:20:19 | |
| All in favor, aye? | 00:20:20 | |
| And then item H is the dumpster at. | 00:20:22 | |
| The Grand Line Rd. building. | 00:20:25 | |
| We obtained 2 quotes for that. One was from got to go. | 00:20:27 | |
| For 4:50. The other was a one for 5:05. | 00:20:31 | |
| Staff would recommend the $450 vote for you. | 00:20:36 | |
| Got to go. | 00:20:39 | |
| Motion to accept. Got to go. | 00:20:41 | |
| And I'll second. | 00:20:43 | |
| OK, motion and a second all in favor? | 00:20:44 | |
| Aye. | 00:20:46 | |
| And while I'm up here, I'll go ahead and provide a. | 00:20:49 | |
| Bridge 51 update. | 00:20:52 | |
| Take this opportunity to do that. We held the. | 00:20:55 | |
| Preliminary. | 00:20:58 | |
| Pre construction conference. | 00:21:00 | |
| For the project last Friday. | 00:21:02 | |
| The contractor has received notice to proceed from NDOT. | 00:21:05 | |
| They intend to begin work in March. | 00:21:11 | |
| First week of March, they'll probably be out there staking. | 00:21:14 | |
| The site with clearing to set forth shortly after that. | 00:21:16 | |
| The. | 00:21:23 | |
| Intermediate. | 00:21:24 | |
| Completion date. | 00:21:25 | |
| Is. | 00:21:26 | |
| July 30th. | 00:21:27 | |
| July 31st. | 00:21:30 | |
| 2027. | 00:21:32 | |
| So that should be when it all goes according open to public. | 00:21:33 | |
| All right. And just to decode for the public bridge 51 is. | 00:21:39 | |
| Black is the Millbridge. There you go. The contractor was milestone. | 00:21:43 | |
| The question, we're going to have to come up with an answer at some point as well. | 00:21:47 | |
| Still be named the same thing. There is no Blackstone Mill anymore. | 00:21:51 | |
| I guess there's blacks in the road, so. | 00:21:54 | |
| Maybe we'll. | 00:21:58 | |
| I think we. | 00:22:00 | |
| Have a contest, OK. | 00:22:01 | |
| All right, Chief Probation Officer Kelly. | 00:22:05 | |
| The Kelly Deuser Bridge. | 00:22:10 | |
| Yes, I'm here for approval on two of my grants that I'd like to apply for in 26. | 00:22:12 | |
| The first one is for our A Todd brand. This comes from the Alcohol, Tobacco and Other Drug Task Force. | 00:22:20 | |
| And this helps us to give grants to some of our probationers that can't afford their drug screen. | 00:22:27 | |
| So it allows us to give maybe 200 screens at no cost. | 00:22:34 | |
| OK. | 00:22:37 | |
| And we're going to ask for $8000 this year. | 00:22:39 | |
| OK, you go ahead and give us the second one as well. And then the second one is our. | 00:22:42 | |
| 2027 Community Corrections and Justice Reinvestment Grant. This is for our FLIP program. | 00:22:47 | |
| We have I'm doing a request of $150,000. | 00:22:53 | |
| We've had two probation officers that have been funded through this grant since about 2016. | 00:22:57 | |
| OK. If there are no questions for Miss Dusser, I'll. | 00:23:04 | |
| Look for. | 00:23:08 | |
| Permission to green light those applications. Motion to approve. | 00:23:10 | |
| Second all in favor, aye. | 00:23:14 | |
| Thank you very much for that. | 00:23:17 | |
| You as well, Sheriff Steve Bush. | 00:23:20 | |
| 2026 grant proposals. | 00:23:22 | |
| Yes, before you is we're going to apply for a body worn can grant. | 00:23:24 | |
| Deadlines March 12th. I think it's up to $50,000. | 00:23:29 | |
| I'm sorry, how much? | 00:23:33 | |
| 50,000. | 00:23:34 | |
| So it's basically for small departments under 50. | 00:23:35 | |
| Police officers, tribal, so I don't. | 00:23:38 | |
| I don't know if we'll get it or not, but we're going to apply for it and try. | 00:23:40 | |
| Let's see if we can do it. We'll have another one. | 00:23:44 | |
| They're working with IUS on probably coming from the next month or so. But when I get that information all for that on, but for | 00:23:46 | |
| tonight, it's just one for right now. | 00:23:49 | |
| OK, that. | 00:23:53 | |
| Any total startup cost estimates on that? And I know it'd be very. | 00:23:56 | |
| Broad at this point in time, right, I mean, so we are working at going with Exxon? | 00:24:01 | |
| The cost is 160,000. | 00:24:06 | |
| Right now I have 75,000 budgets so I got to make sure if I come for you all to sign a contract to have that in place funding wise. | 00:24:08 | |
| The first year we're fine, we're going to help cover the rest of it, but the next year's budget is what we're looking at to get | 00:24:14 | |
| the whole amount in the budget. | 00:24:17 | |
| So probably around. | 00:24:21 | |
| We'll figure that out once we start having our discussions on our budget. | 00:24:23 | |
| Is the first year more expensive or not? I mean you can do a different funding ways, but they're all the same. So five year | 00:24:25 | |
| contract. | 00:24:28 | |
| And most of the equipment's. | 00:24:31 | |
| Rented and storage is included and all that. Kind of like the city of New Albany's was OK. | 00:24:33 | |
| So we're hoping with the grant that would help us offset the cost. | 00:24:38 | |
| You know, one or both of them. | 00:24:41 | |
| OK, so if everything worked out, at what point would? | 00:24:42 | |
| Be implemented. | 00:24:45 | |
| If it stick to the the sign, the contract in June takes about two months to get the equipment in with the training officers with | 00:24:47 | |
| the policy written. | 00:24:50 | |
| So we're looking at August. If we start in June, if it's July, then it's another month. | 00:24:54 | |
| Further, we want to get it started this year for sure. | 00:24:58 | |
| Right. Well and I thank you for being proactive on trying to attain funding for that and. | 00:25:00 | |
| Yeah, look for motion to. | 00:25:06 | |
| Approve submission of that grant application. | 00:25:09 | |
| So moved second. | 00:25:11 | |
| All in favor, aye? | 00:25:13 | |
| Thank you very much. Thank you very much. | 00:25:15 | |
| All right. Parks director Matt Dennison. | 00:25:17 | |
| Good evening. | 00:25:23 | |
| 3 grant proposals as well I think first up right Sam Tech. | 00:25:24 | |
| It is a. | 00:25:34 | |
| Digitalization project that we are proposing. | 00:25:36 | |
| To apply for this would help with our reservation system for shelters. | 00:25:38 | |
| And facilities, we also have a new website that's under development. | 00:25:43 | |
| It'll help tile this together and including new signage at a lot of the shelters and facilities that are rentable. | 00:25:46 | |
| With not only updated rules, but also QR codes just. | 00:25:52 | |
| Again, all based along digital, further digitizing our parks operations. | 00:25:56 | |
| There an amount on there, yeah, 35,035 thousand. | 00:26:01 | |
| And item 2. | 00:26:07 | |
| Item 2 is the Indiana Department of Health. They have opened up a Tactical Urbanism grant. | 00:26:10 | |
| We're applying for $10,000. | 00:26:15 | |
| It's all based around safety along parks, roads, trails. | 00:26:18 | |
| This would allow for some increased signage. | 00:26:23 | |
| Pavement markings. | 00:26:25 | |
| Other traffic control and parking measures. | 00:26:27 | |
| OK. And item 3. | 00:26:30 | |
| Ready 2.0 through the Indiana Economic Development Corporation. | 00:26:34 | |
| Our ask is for $625,000. This is a. | 00:26:38 | |
| Reimbursement grant because of some of the other funds that we either have received through grants or. | 00:26:42 | |
| Have been notified that we're going to receive. We feel comfortable with that 600 and. | 00:26:48 | |
| $25,000 figure is a is a number. | 00:26:53 | |
| This will be for further and much needed additional. | 00:26:56 | |
| Projects within San Pedro community park this would help finish up an amphitheater project which. | 00:27:00 | |
| We believe is going to be covered by another grant a good portion of that. | 00:27:06 | |
| Also further trail improvements, landscaping and parking improvements. | 00:27:09 | |
| OK. Can you clarify? | 00:27:14 | |
| 625, you said it was a reimbursement. | 00:27:18 | |
| That means you're paying it back. | 00:27:22 | |
| They would reimburse us as we spend the 625. They're going to pay you for reversible grant, yes. | 00:27:24 | |
| Thank you. No problem. | 00:27:31 | |
| All right, let's make a motion. We accept all three of his. | 00:27:34 | |
| And I'll second. | 00:27:38 | |
| All in favor. | 00:27:39 | |
| Aye. | 00:27:40 | |
| Thank you. You want to read into the record how you spent your late morning? Yeah, I was going to mention that as well. Thanks. | 00:27:41 | |
| Very thrilled to have Congresswoman Houchin at Sam Peden Community Park this morning. | 00:27:47 | |
| We were awarded $175,000 in Community project funding. | 00:27:52 | |
| Which was basically an earmark 2 projects in Floyd County. | 00:27:57 | |
| Receive money. One was in the town of Georgetown and then at our park. | 00:28:01 | |
| We're thrilled for that. I think you know that. The hillside connection between Sam Peden. | 00:28:05 | |
| And the 4H has been in disrepair and there's been a hillslide dating back to some time of. | 00:28:10 | |
| In 2024, along with some County Council appropriation last year that we've been holding for this. | 00:28:14 | |
| This 175 will help us get over the hump with that project. | 00:28:21 | |
| We hope that projects not only a repair project and a correction project, but also improves that hillside. It would be fully Ada | 00:28:25 | |
| accessible. | 00:28:29 | |
| And we also hope that that's kind of the first project or one of the first projects. | 00:28:34 | |
| Related to the master plan that we brought before you a few months ago, so. | 00:28:38 | |
| The trail study has been done. The parks board selected. | 00:28:42 | |
| The option to move forward with, I think it was really the only option that we had within cost perspective. | 00:28:46 | |
| Design phase that RFP will go out soon. | 00:28:52 | |
| And we hope that we can break ground on it late spring or early summer. But it was great to have her and. | 00:28:55 | |
| A commissioner can able council president short with us and good morning for community Park for sure to get that funding. There's | 00:29:00 | |
| going to be a lot of other projects that we're gonna. | 00:29:05 | |
| Apply for grants and be back in touch with you guys on. | 00:29:10 | |
| Thank you all and I want to publicly. | 00:29:14 | |
| Just call out Mr. Dennison for. | 00:29:16 | |
| Prioritizing that repair. | 00:29:19 | |
| And also to council president. | 00:29:22 | |
| Who pointed out that possible avenue of funding? | 00:29:24 | |
| I mean, the congresswoman stated that that was the first time that. | 00:29:28 | |
| Money of that. | 00:29:31 | |
| Magnitude of that sword had come back to Floyd County in roughly 20 years. Has something to do with the the way that earmarks have | 00:29:33 | |
| kind of been eliminated. | 00:29:37 | |
| But also to the proactive nature of local government seeking out those funds. So yeah. | 00:29:41 | |
| Absolutely, Yeah. Thank you, Matt. I really appreciate all your hard work. Thanks, Sir. | 00:29:47 | |
| Thanks. | 00:29:51 | |
| County Attorney Christy Fox. | 00:29:52 | |
| Yes. So we have before you all Resolution 2026. | 00:29:54 | |
| Dash. | 00:29:59 | |
| That is a resolution establishing the intent to conduct Commissioner sale. | 00:30:01 | |
| For some properties that have failed to set sell at tax sale. | 00:30:05 | |
| And to move forward that process attached to that resolution is Exhibit A. | 00:30:10 | |
| Which lists those parcels in the minimum bid which those would sell for. | 00:30:15 | |
| OK, that will all be posted online for the public. | 00:30:19 | |
| Tomorrow or this evening, or. | 00:30:23 | |
| The the resolution you pass. | 00:30:25 | |
| I would ask Susannah tomorrow. It'll go up tomorrow on the website. | 00:30:28 | |
| OK. And you know the whole idea behind that is to take property that's been sitting. | 00:30:32 | |
| On the sidelines in some cases for. | 00:30:37 | |
| 2020 plus years. | 00:30:39 | |
| Get them back actively generating some tax revenue. | 00:30:43 | |
| So these are. | 00:30:47 | |
| The items listed, correct me if I'm wrong, are you going to be going for? | 00:30:48 | |
| Basically 75% of assessed value, correct? | 00:30:51 | |
| Correct. That is correct. That's what the minimum bid number is. So that'll be the minimum bid on those. And again, that'll be | 00:30:54 | |
| available tomorrow and the sale will be approximately when we have it set. I think we're aiming for April. | 00:31:00 | |
| Perfect. | 00:31:07 | |
| OK. All right. Look for a motion to approve. | 00:31:09 | |
| I'll make a motion to approve Floyd County Resolution 2026-01, the intend to conduct the commissioner cell to sell tax certificate | 00:31:13 | |
| for properties. | 00:31:17 | |
| And I'll second. | 00:31:21 | |
| All in favor, aye aye. | 00:31:22 | |
| OK. The next one is a contract addendum to allow Sri. | 00:31:26 | |
| Which, uh. | 00:31:30 | |
| The Treasurer's office and the Auditor's Office currently use allow them to help us conduct that tax. Sorry, Commissioner Sale. | 00:31:30 | |
| It they would receive. | 00:31:38 | |
| Their payment is 15% of whatever we bring in on that commissioner sale Plus would be responsible for the costs. | 00:31:39 | |
| And the legal ads and stuff that are required as part of the commissioners sale. | 00:31:45 | |
| OK. I'll look for a motion to approve that. So moved. | 00:31:52 | |
| Second all in favor, aye. | 00:31:56 | |
| And we have nothing else but I just want nothing else from the County Attorney. But I just want to ask do you do you have any idea | 00:31:58 | |
| when the last? | 00:32:02 | |
| Such sale took place in Floyd County. | 00:32:05 | |
| It's been a long while. | 00:32:13 | |
| Actually, I think at one point when I was still an employee in the treasurer's office, we attempted to have a certificate sale. I | 00:32:14 | |
| do not know that it was a success, because we weren't. | 00:32:19 | |
| Heavily involved in it at that point. | 00:32:24 | |
| But it is something that. | 00:32:27 | |
| Has been. | 00:32:30 | |
| Infrequently encouraged. | 00:32:31 | |
| At least through the Treasurer's office, not necessarily through my office until the last couple years. | 00:32:33 | |
| There were a lot of other things that had to be addressed and caught up on before we could bring this back before the | 00:32:38 | |
| commissioners as a way to try and get inactive properties back on the tax rolls. | 00:32:42 | |
| I commend you all. | 00:32:46 | |
| For for taking this on this year, because it is. | 00:32:48 | |
| It's not new but it is new ish to us if that makes sense. | 00:32:52 | |
| So it's it's been a long while since we've had a certificate sale. | 00:32:56 | |
| Yeah, I think it's just another example of how your office, the treasurer's office, the commissioners, the council continues to | 00:32:59 | |
| work together to try. | 00:33:02 | |
| To find. | 00:33:06 | |
| Ways to save money in some. | 00:33:07 | |
| Places, but also. | 00:33:09 | |
| Look under the. | 00:33:11 | |
| Cushions on the couch to find a little bit of money. Do our best. | 00:33:12 | |
| So I appreciate it. | 00:33:15 | |
| Thank you for working with us on this. | 00:33:17 | |
| Thank you. | 00:33:18 | |
| All right, asking for approval of the Commissioners meeting minutes from February 3rd, 2026. | 00:33:20 | |
| Second all in favor, aye. | 00:33:25 | |
| And approval of payroll and claims. | 00:33:28 | |
| Motion to approve. | 00:33:31 | |
| Second all in favor, aye. | 00:33:32 | |
| And our next Commissioners meeting will be Tuesday, March 3rd, 2026 at 6:00 PM. We did have a special meeting today at 4:30 to | 00:33:36 | |
| address solid waste issues. | 00:33:40 | |
| Any board and committee reports? | 00:33:47 | |
| I have nothing. | 00:33:49 | |
| No OK I have none either any. | 00:33:50 | |
| Comment from elected officials this evening. | 00:33:54 | |
| Yeah, Box, I'll County Council on you open those beds. I was. | 00:34:02 | |
| Somewhat concerned that we were going to get that project done. | 00:34:06 | |
| So later it worked out that. | 00:34:09 | |
| That's a good thing. I think we got. | 00:34:12 | |
| 5th September we got to be out and I think where we're at. | 00:34:14 | |
| I think. | 00:34:17 | |
| Thanks, membership. Yes, project movement. I'm glad you move forward. | 00:34:19 | |
| 2. | 00:34:23 | |
| Taking under advisement and all that process. | 00:34:24 | |
| We've been trying to light a fire under that project for a time. | 00:34:26 | |
| Mr. But I would like to say I was concerned it. | 00:34:29 | |
| We might get done because. | 00:34:33 | |
| Most people went way over what it was. | 00:34:35 | |
| Right. Well, I speak for both commissioners that I'm. | 00:34:37 | |
| Glad that your concerns were alleviated. Yeah. Hey, Dale, if you would please give Sharon our. | 00:34:40 | |
| Our wishes for speedy recovery as well. | 00:34:44 | |
| All right, public comment this evening. I know that no one signed up. | 00:34:48 | |
| All right, seeing none, any closing comments? | 00:34:53 | |
| We'll look for a motion to adjourn. So moved second, all right. | 00:34:57 | |
| Thank you. | 00:35:00 |

| I was going down Alonzo Smith and I saw a stack brokerage recycle the paper. I bring it up in my car. | 00:00:00 | |
| So I had the chance to spend all day with them on Thursday. | 00:00:06 | |
| Recycling. | 00:00:10 | |
| Thank you. | 00:00:14 | |
| What are you gonna be doing with him? | 00:00:17 | |
| The same thing they do. | 00:00:19 | |
| Oh, taking stuff out of your car and bumping it into a. | 00:00:21 | |
| Really. Yeah. | 00:00:28 | |
| Because I'll drive up and they're like, oh, here's the cat can lady. | 00:00:29 | |
| Thanks for being 2 minutes behind, although that clock I think might be a hair fast. | 00:00:35 | |
| In fairness to me. | 00:00:40 | |
| If you'll join us for the Pledge of Allegiance. | 00:00:42 | |
| I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America. | 00:00:44 | |
| And to the Republic for which it stands. | 00:00:48 | |
| One nation under God. | 00:00:51 | |
| Indivisible. | 00:00:53 | |
| With liberty and justice for all. | 00:00:54 | |
| All right, welcome and thank you. We have. | 00:00:58 | |
| Fairly busy agenda if you will. Please silence your cell phones and if you need to use them, the hallway is yours. | 00:01:00 | |
| And we'll begin with a moment of silence, just for individual prayer, meditation, or reflection. | 00:01:08 | |
| In preparation for tonight's meeting. | 00:01:14 | |
| All right. Thank you very much. | 00:01:33 | |
| New business. | 00:01:37 | |
| Of Nick Creevy. | 00:01:39 | |
| You ready? | 00:01:41 | |
| Deep in thought. | 00:01:44 | |
| I don't have much. | 00:01:46 | |
| To present here for the first two items, we have bid openings for equipment at the road department. | 00:01:47 | |
| And a bit opening for the building at 3317. | 00:01:52 | |
| OK. Do we have any? | 00:01:58 | |
| One president who would like to submit a late bid or a timely bid in person for the 2026 road department equipment. | 00:02:00 | |
| All right, seeing none, how many do we have for the road department? | 00:02:08 | |
| We have 2. | 00:02:12 | |
| Commissioner Loop will open those up. | 00:02:21 | |
| Read Aloud and Commissioner Sharp can. | 00:02:24 | |
| Document that. | 00:02:27 | |
| This is from. | 00:02:47 | |
| Kenworth, Louisville. Palmer Trucks. | 00:02:49 | |
| Total cost for two trucks. | 00:02:55 | |
| 433,400. | 00:02:57 | |
| OK. | 00:03:03 | |
| OK, since we got a lot of tape on. | 00:03:15 | |
| Well, that is a double closed bid. | 00:03:23 | |
| 3 layers of tape on that. | 00:03:27 | |
| It's like one of my Christmas presents. | 00:03:29 | |
| This one's from Brown. | 00:03:34 | |
| Equipment. | 00:03:36 | |
| This one is. | 00:03:56 | |
| OK, I'm confused. It says package 2 on it. | 00:03:58 | |
| Does that mean there's package 1 somewhere? | 00:04:04 | |
| Two separate packages were bid. | 00:04:11 | |
| There are two separate proposals, so they must only be bidding on package 2. | 00:04:13 | |
| Oh OK, I get it. | 00:04:17 | |
| That's all that happened there, I believe. Package one in the paper with the trucks. | 00:04:20 | |
| OK. This is for package 2:00 then that's from Brown. | 00:04:26 | |
| For one million 196332. | 00:04:30 | |
| .60. | 00:04:33 | |
| Can you give me that number one time? | 00:04:35 | |
| Frankie, I don't believe so. | 00:04:38 | |
| Hey Sydney, just for public knowledge, if package one was for the trucks, then package 2 was for the ancillary equipment? | 00:04:43 | |
| Yes, it's already been made public record. | 00:04:50 | |
| No, that's it. | 00:04:56 | |
| Yeah, and the advertisements in here. | 00:05:00 | |
| Correct. And you do have an amount on that. | 00:05:03 | |
| Yes. | 00:05:05 | |
| All right, $1,196,332.60. | 00:05:07 | |
| All right. And I'll look for a motion to take these bids under advisement as they were the only two for that road department | 00:05:14 | |
| equipment. | 00:05:17 | |
| Summit second. All in the favor. | 00:05:20 | |
| Aye. | 00:05:23 | |
| All right. We'll move on to the bid opening, Department of Health, Human Services and Inspection Center. Is there anyone here? | 00:05:25 | |
| President, who would like to put in a. | 00:05:31 | |
| Did in person on that. | 00:05:33 | |
| OK. And how many do we have on that? | 00:05:36 | |
| 3455. | 00:05:40 | |
| First ones from AML. | 00:05:54 | |
| To find the page with the total on it. | 00:06:14 | |
| Have we not moved to the cover sheet with the? | 00:06:25 | |
| Prescribed. Highlighted. | 00:06:28 | |
| I apologize, I did not include that in the advertisement for this one. OK. I think going forward we should do that. Just I love. | 00:06:32 | |
| The build up of suspense as much as anybody but. | 00:06:40 | |
| Poor Doctor Jensen's paying Mr. Craft by the hour. | 00:06:44 | |
| That's why he wanted you move to the bottom of the agenda. | 00:06:56 | |
| So they've been on the alternatives. | 00:07:05 | |
| Here it is no. | 00:07:10 | |
| I have a bid sheet from Tyler Pinkster that has all the alternative stuff. | 00:07:16 | |
| And I see the alternatives on there, but there's no base bed. | 00:07:19 | |
| See it shows. | 00:07:23 | |
| What they've done in the past. | 00:07:28 | |
| Is there a second this is the second is other documents? | 00:07:41 | |
| Is it just another problem? | 00:07:44 | |
| This one. | 00:07:46 | |
| That's what the basement and then you'll want to read all the alternatives. | 00:08:05 | |
| OK, this is from AML. | 00:08:12 | |
| Base bid was. | 00:08:16 | |
| 3 million. | 00:08:18 | |
| 246. | 00:08:19 | |

| What was the estimate on those going into the bidding? | 00:14:05 | |
| 2.4. | 00:14:09 | |
| OK. | 00:14:10 | |
| All right. We're in receipt of those and I'll look for a motion to accept the lowest. | 00:14:13 | |
| With some provisions. | 00:14:19 | |
| Of course, you may outline those briefly, so if you're going to. | 00:14:21 | |
| Award contingent on award to the parent. Lowest bidder. | 00:14:24 | |
| Contingent on review and approval by Tower Pinkster Nick myself. | 00:14:29 | |
| To ensure that they are the lowest, most responsive. | 00:14:33 | |
| So I'll make a motion to accept the apparent low bidder conting. | 00:14:38 | |
| On uh. | 00:14:42 | |
| Not only the price, but the most responsive. | 00:14:43 | |
| And I'll second. | 00:14:46 | |
| All in favor, aye? | 00:14:47 | |
| Aye. | 00:14:49 | |
| Thank you to everyone who submitted the bid on both of those packages. | 00:14:50 | |
| Before proceeding to item one, CI do have a couple of. | 00:14:54 | |
| Items I'd like to add to the agenda under. | 00:14:58 | |
| Mr. Creevy. | 00:15:01 | |
| 1st and I failed to do this earlier so I apologize. I'd like to have these added by unanimous consent number. | 00:15:04 | |
| First item is item 1G which would be to. | 00:15:10 | |
| Add the acceptance of a household hazardous waste RFP. | 00:15:15 | |
| And the second is for the addition of a dumpster for the Grant Line Rd. preliminary demolition for the Health Department building. | 00:15:18 | |
| I'll make that motion with unanimous consent. | 00:15:26 | |
| Now second all in favor. Aye aye. | 00:15:28 | |
| Alright, thank you. | 00:15:31 | |
| All right. Continuing with 1C. | 00:15:38 | |
| Item C Development agreement and license to use right away at 750 Highlander Point. | 00:15:41 | |
| The Floyd County Planning Commission Plat Review Committee. | 00:15:48 | |
| Reviewed the project the. | 00:15:52 | |
| Owner is requesting the county permit. | 00:15:54 | |
| Him to use. | 00:15:58 | |
| Apparent County right away. | 00:16:00 | |
| In order to extend the parking lot. | 00:16:03 | |
| It has been reviewed by the Planning Commission and approved by the Planning Committee. | 00:16:06 | |
| In the development agreement. | 00:16:11 | |
| There is provisions. | 00:16:13 | |
| To relinquish that. | 00:16:16 | |
| Area. | 00:16:18 | |
| Should when, when and if the county requires that right away back. | 00:16:19 | |
| For either roadway expansion or any other purposes. | 00:16:25 | |
| And allows for 30 days to do that. | 00:16:28 | |
| County Attorney Christy Fox has reviewed that development agreement. | 00:16:31 | |
| And and approved the language in there. | 00:16:36 | |
| Yeah. I think we've had ample opportunity to review this. I have no further questions or concerns on it. | 00:16:39 | |
| I'm either I'll make a motion that we accept it. | 00:16:43 | |
| I'll second. OK, All in favor, aye aye. | 00:16:47 | |
| All right. Thank you, gentlemen. | 00:16:50 | |
| And I, I should have bumped you up to the beginning. I apologize, but we had several people waiting on the other. | 00:16:52 | |
| All right, item D We have the Floyd County Government Center office furniture we received. We requested quotes and received 2 | 00:17:03 | |
| quotes, one from Starlight Design. | 00:17:08 | |
| Another from. | 00:17:14 | |
| LW. | 00:17:16 | |
| Office Furniture LLC. | 00:17:19 | |
| The low quote was from Starlight Design in the amount of. | 00:17:22 | |
| $41,526. | 00:17:26 | |
| And this is to provide furniture for the. | 00:17:30 | |
| Second and third floors of that all right, and we already had. | 00:17:34 | |
| Money is allocated for that. | 00:17:37 | |
| Yes, yeah, OK. | 00:17:39 | |
| I have no further questions on this I. | 00:17:41 | |
| I would. | 00:17:44 | |
| Proposed that we. | 00:17:44 | |
| Move forward with the longest bid. Yeah, I'll make that motion to move forward with the Starlight designs. | 00:17:46 | |
| I'll second all in favor, aye. | 00:17:51 | |
| The next item is an elevator maintenance monthly quote. | 00:17:55 | |
| For the 3317 Grand Rd. building. | 00:17:58 | |
| We obtained 2 service quotes, one was from Murphy Elevator Company. | 00:18:03 | |
| We provided A quarterly service. | 00:18:08 | |
| In the amount of $195 per quarter. | 00:18:11 | |
| And then we had a quote from Executive Elevator company which provided for monthly service. | 00:18:17 | |
| At $100 per month. | 00:18:24 | |
| Staff recommendation would be to proceed with the Murphy quarterly. It's a it's lower for similar service. | 00:18:27 | |
| Make a motion to accept Murphy's. | 00:18:35 | |
| And I'll say. | 00:18:38 | |
| A motion and a second all in favor, aye? | 00:18:39 | |
| Item F is a lake maintenance agreement. This is was referred to the commissioners from the Redevelopment Commission. This is for | 00:18:44 | |
| maintenance of the lakes ponds. | 00:18:50 | |
| At. | 00:18:56 | |
| April through September by. | 00:18:58 | |
| Weekly treatment of that. | 00:19:00 | |
| Of those ponds to prevent outrage old. | 00:19:03 | |
| Blooms and, you know, unsightly vegetation growth. | 00:19:06 | |
| The amount is 2880. This is. | 00:19:10 | |
| Renewal contract. This is whoever is. | 00:19:13 | |
| Brett Pryor. | 00:19:15 | |
| Where did that come out? | 00:19:18 | |
| Did that redevelopment or not? | 00:19:19 | |
| So funding is out of edit maintenance lineup. | 00:19:21 | |
| I'll make a motion to approve. | 00:19:28 | |
| I'll second. | 00:19:30 | |
| All right. All in favor, aye. | 00:19:31 | |
| Item G which was added or the dumpster. | 00:19:35 | |
| For preliminary demolition at the 3317 Grant Line Rd. building, just just for continuity, I think G was the household hazardous | 00:19:40 | |
| waste, as I verbally put it, and I apologize. That's fine. | 00:19:46 | |
| Item G is then the household hazardous waste. | 00:19:53 | |
| This was a RFP response from Caldwell Environmental. | 00:19:57 | |
| I believe we just are. | 00:20:04 | |
| Awarding, awarding the RFP to that response and then we will negotiate. | 00:20:07 | |
| OK. And that was the only bid on that. So I would look for a motion to accept. So moved. | 00:20:14 | |
| 2nd. | 00:20:19 | |
| All in favor, aye? | 00:20:20 | |
| And then item H is the dumpster at. | 00:20:22 | |
| The Grand Line Rd. building. | 00:20:25 | |
| We obtained 2 quotes for that. One was from got to go. | 00:20:27 | |
| For 4:50. The other was a one for 5:05. | 00:20:31 | |
| Staff would recommend the $450 vote for you. | 00:20:36 | |
| Got to go. | 00:20:39 | |
| Motion to accept. Got to go. | 00:20:41 | |
| And I'll second. | 00:20:43 | |
| OK, motion and a second all in favor? | 00:20:44 | |
| Aye. | 00:20:46 | |
| And while I'm up here, I'll go ahead and provide a. | 00:20:49 | |
| Bridge 51 update. | 00:20:52 | |
| Take this opportunity to do that. We held the. | 00:20:55 | |
| Preliminary. | 00:20:58 | |
| Pre construction conference. | 00:21:00 | |
| For the project last Friday. | 00:21:02 | |
| The contractor has received notice to proceed from NDOT. | 00:21:05 | |
| They intend to begin work in March. | 00:21:11 | |
| First week of March, they'll probably be out there staking. | 00:21:14 | |
| The site with clearing to set forth shortly after that. | 00:21:16 | |
| The. | 00:21:23 | |
| Intermediate. | 00:21:24 | |
| Completion date. | 00:21:25 | |
| Is. | 00:21:26 | |
| July 30th. | 00:21:27 | |
| July 31st. | 00:21:30 | |
| 2027. | 00:21:32 | |
| So that should be when it all goes according open to public. | 00:21:33 | |
| All right. And just to decode for the public bridge 51 is. | 00:21:39 | |
| Black is the Millbridge. There you go. The contractor was milestone. | 00:21:43 | |
| The question, we're going to have to come up with an answer at some point as well. | 00:21:47 | |
| Still be named the same thing. There is no Blackstone Mill anymore. | 00:21:51 | |
| I guess there's blacks in the road, so. | 00:21:54 | |
| Maybe we'll. | 00:21:58 | |
| I think we. | 00:22:00 | |
| Have a contest, OK. | 00:22:01 | |
| All right, Chief Probation Officer Kelly. | 00:22:05 | |
| The Kelly Deuser Bridge. | 00:22:10 | |
| Yes, I'm here for approval on two of my grants that I'd like to apply for in 26. | 00:22:12 | |
| The first one is for our A Todd brand. This comes from the Alcohol, Tobacco and Other Drug Task Force. | 00:22:20 | |
| And this helps us to give grants to some of our probationers that can't afford their drug screen. | 00:22:27 | |
| So it allows us to give maybe 200 screens at no cost. | 00:22:34 | |
| OK. | 00:22:37 | |
| And we're going to ask for $8000 this year. | 00:22:39 | |
| OK, you go ahead and give us the second one as well. And then the second one is our. | 00:22:42 | |
| 2027 Community Corrections and Justice Reinvestment Grant. This is for our FLIP program. | 00:22:47 | |
| We have I'm doing a request of $150,000. | 00:22:53 | |
| We've had two probation officers that have been funded through this grant since about 2016. | 00:22:57 | |
| OK. If there are no questions for Miss Dusser, I'll. | 00:23:04 | |
| Look for. | 00:23:08 | |
| Permission to green light those applications. Motion to approve. | 00:23:10 | |
| Second all in favor, aye. | 00:23:14 | |
| Thank you very much for that. | 00:23:17 | |
| You as well, Sheriff Steve Bush. | 00:23:20 | |
| 2026 grant proposals. | 00:23:22 | |
| Yes, before you is we're going to apply for a body worn can grant. | 00:23:24 | |
| Deadlines March 12th. I think it's up to $50,000. | 00:23:29 | |
| I'm sorry, how much? | 00:23:33 | |
| 50,000. | 00:23:34 | |
| So it's basically for small departments under 50. | 00:23:35 | |
| Police officers, tribal, so I don't. | 00:23:38 | |
| I don't know if we'll get it or not, but we're going to apply for it and try. | 00:23:40 | |
| Let's see if we can do it. We'll have another one. | 00:23:44 | |
| They're working with IUS on probably coming from the next month or so. But when I get that information all for that on, but for | 00:23:46 | |
| tonight, it's just one for right now. | 00:23:49 | |
| OK, that. | 00:23:53 | |
| Any total startup cost estimates on that? And I know it'd be very. | 00:23:56 | |
| Broad at this point in time, right, I mean, so we are working at going with Exxon? | 00:24:01 | |
| The cost is 160,000. | 00:24:06 | |
| Right now I have 75,000 budgets so I got to make sure if I come for you all to sign a contract to have that in place funding wise. | 00:24:08 | |
| The first year we're fine, we're going to help cover the rest of it, but the next year's budget is what we're looking at to get | 00:24:14 | |
| the whole amount in the budget. | 00:24:17 | |
| So probably around. | 00:24:21 | |
| We'll figure that out once we start having our discussions on our budget. | 00:24:23 | |
| Is the first year more expensive or not? I mean you can do a different funding ways, but they're all the same. So five year | 00:24:25 | |
| contract. | 00:24:28 | |
| And most of the equipment's. | 00:24:31 | |
| Rented and storage is included and all that. Kind of like the city of New Albany's was OK. | 00:24:33 | |
| So we're hoping with the grant that would help us offset the cost. | 00:24:38 | |
| You know, one or both of them. | 00:24:41 | |
| OK, so if everything worked out, at what point would? | 00:24:42 | |
| Be implemented. | 00:24:45 | |
| If it stick to the the sign, the contract in June takes about two months to get the equipment in with the training officers with | 00:24:47 | |
| the policy written. | 00:24:50 | |
| So we're looking at August. If we start in June, if it's July, then it's another month. | 00:24:54 | |
| Further, we want to get it started this year for sure. | 00:24:58 | |
| Right. Well and I thank you for being proactive on trying to attain funding for that and. | 00:25:00 | |
| Yeah, look for motion to. | 00:25:06 | |
| Approve submission of that grant application. | 00:25:09 | |
| So moved second. | 00:25:11 | |
| All in favor, aye? | 00:25:13 | |
| Thank you very much. Thank you very much. | 00:25:15 | |
| All right. Parks director Matt Dennison. | 00:25:17 | |
| Good evening. | 00:25:23 | |
| 3 grant proposals as well I think first up right Sam Tech. | 00:25:24 | |
| It is a. | 00:25:34 | |
| Digitalization project that we are proposing. | 00:25:36 | |
| To apply for this would help with our reservation system for shelters. | 00:25:38 | |
| And facilities, we also have a new website that's under development. | 00:25:43 | |
| It'll help tile this together and including new signage at a lot of the shelters and facilities that are rentable. | 00:25:46 | |
| With not only updated rules, but also QR codes just. | 00:25:52 | |
| Again, all based along digital, further digitizing our parks operations. | 00:25:56 | |
| There an amount on there, yeah, 35,035 thousand. | 00:26:01 | |
| And item 2. | 00:26:07 | |
| Item 2 is the Indiana Department of Health. They have opened up a Tactical Urbanism grant. | 00:26:10 | |
| We're applying for $10,000. | 00:26:15 | |
| It's all based around safety along parks, roads, trails. | 00:26:18 | |
| This would allow for some increased signage. | 00:26:23 | |
| Pavement markings. | 00:26:25 | |
| Other traffic control and parking measures. | 00:26:27 | |
| OK. And item 3. | 00:26:30 | |
| Ready 2.0 through the Indiana Economic Development Corporation. | 00:26:34 | |
| Our ask is for $625,000. This is a. | 00:26:38 | |
| Reimbursement grant because of some of the other funds that we either have received through grants or. | 00:26:42 | |
| Have been notified that we're going to receive. We feel comfortable with that 600 and. | 00:26:48 | |
| $25,000 figure is a is a number. | 00:26:53 | |
| This will be for further and much needed additional. | 00:26:56 | |
| Projects within San Pedro community park this would help finish up an amphitheater project which. | 00:27:00 | |
| We believe is going to be covered by another grant a good portion of that. | 00:27:06 | |
| Also further trail improvements, landscaping and parking improvements. | 00:27:09 | |
| OK. Can you clarify? | 00:27:14 | |
| 625, you said it was a reimbursement. | 00:27:18 | |
| That means you're paying it back. | 00:27:22 | |
| They would reimburse us as we spend the 625. They're going to pay you for reversible grant, yes. | 00:27:24 | |
| Thank you. No problem. | 00:27:31 | |
| All right, let's make a motion. We accept all three of his. | 00:27:34 | |
| And I'll second. | 00:27:38 | |
| All in favor. | 00:27:39 | |
| Aye. | 00:27:40 | |
| Thank you. You want to read into the record how you spent your late morning? Yeah, I was going to mention that as well. Thanks. | 00:27:41 | |
| Very thrilled to have Congresswoman Houchin at Sam Peden Community Park this morning. | 00:27:47 | |
| We were awarded $175,000 in Community project funding. | 00:27:52 | |
| Which was basically an earmark 2 projects in Floyd County. | 00:27:57 | |
| Receive money. One was in the town of Georgetown and then at our park. | 00:28:01 | |
| We're thrilled for that. I think you know that. The hillside connection between Sam Peden. | 00:28:05 | |
| And the 4H has been in disrepair and there's been a hillslide dating back to some time of. | 00:28:10 | |
| In 2024, along with some County Council appropriation last year that we've been holding for this. | 00:28:14 | |
| This 175 will help us get over the hump with that project. | 00:28:21 | |
| We hope that projects not only a repair project and a correction project, but also improves that hillside. It would be fully Ada | 00:28:25 | |
| accessible. | 00:28:29 | |
| And we also hope that that's kind of the first project or one of the first projects. | 00:28:34 | |
| Related to the master plan that we brought before you a few months ago, so. | 00:28:38 | |
| The trail study has been done. The parks board selected. | 00:28:42 | |
| The option to move forward with, I think it was really the only option that we had within cost perspective. | 00:28:46 | |
| Design phase that RFP will go out soon. | 00:28:52 | |
| And we hope that we can break ground on it late spring or early summer. But it was great to have her and. | 00:28:55 | |
| A commissioner can able council president short with us and good morning for community Park for sure to get that funding. There's | 00:29:00 | |
| going to be a lot of other projects that we're gonna. | 00:29:05 | |
| Apply for grants and be back in touch with you guys on. | 00:29:10 | |
| Thank you all and I want to publicly. | 00:29:14 | |
| Just call out Mr. Dennison for. | 00:29:16 | |
| Prioritizing that repair. | 00:29:19 | |
| And also to council president. | 00:29:22 | |
| Who pointed out that possible avenue of funding? | 00:29:24 | |
| I mean, the congresswoman stated that that was the first time that. | 00:29:28 | |
| Money of that. | 00:29:31 | |
| Magnitude of that sword had come back to Floyd County in roughly 20 years. Has something to do with the the way that earmarks have | 00:29:33 | |
| kind of been eliminated. | 00:29:37 | |
| But also to the proactive nature of local government seeking out those funds. So yeah. | 00:29:41 | |
| Absolutely, Yeah. Thank you, Matt. I really appreciate all your hard work. Thanks, Sir. | 00:29:47 | |
| Thanks. | 00:29:51 | |
| County Attorney Christy Fox. | 00:29:52 | |
| Yes. So we have before you all Resolution 2026. | 00:29:54 | |
| Dash. | 00:29:59 | |
| That is a resolution establishing the intent to conduct Commissioner sale. | 00:30:01 | |
| For some properties that have failed to set sell at tax sale. | 00:30:05 | |
| And to move forward that process attached to that resolution is Exhibit A. | 00:30:10 | |
| Which lists those parcels in the minimum bid which those would sell for. | 00:30:15 | |
| OK, that will all be posted online for the public. | 00:30:19 | |
| Tomorrow or this evening, or. | 00:30:23 | |
| The the resolution you pass. | 00:30:25 | |
| I would ask Susannah tomorrow. It'll go up tomorrow on the website. | 00:30:28 | |
| OK. And you know the whole idea behind that is to take property that's been sitting. | 00:30:32 | |
| On the sidelines in some cases for. | 00:30:37 | |
| 2020 plus years. | 00:30:39 | |
| Get them back actively generating some tax revenue. | 00:30:43 | |
| So these are. | 00:30:47 | |
| The items listed, correct me if I'm wrong, are you going to be going for? | 00:30:48 | |
| Basically 75% of assessed value, correct? | 00:30:51 | |
| Correct. That is correct. That's what the minimum bid number is. So that'll be the minimum bid on those. And again, that'll be | 00:30:54 | |
| available tomorrow and the sale will be approximately when we have it set. I think we're aiming for April. | 00:31:00 | |
| Perfect. | 00:31:07 | |
| OK. All right. Look for a motion to approve. | 00:31:09 | |
| I'll make a motion to approve Floyd County Resolution 2026-01, the intend to conduct the commissioner cell to sell tax certificate | 00:31:13 | |
| for properties. | 00:31:17 | |
| And I'll second. | 00:31:21 | |
| All in favor, aye aye. | 00:31:22 | |
| OK. The next one is a contract addendum to allow Sri. | 00:31:26 | |
| Which, uh. | 00:31:30 | |
| The Treasurer's office and the Auditor's Office currently use allow them to help us conduct that tax. Sorry, Commissioner Sale. | 00:31:30 | |
| It they would receive. | 00:31:38 | |
| Their payment is 15% of whatever we bring in on that commissioner sale Plus would be responsible for the costs. | 00:31:39 | |
| And the legal ads and stuff that are required as part of the commissioners sale. | 00:31:45 | |
| OK. I'll look for a motion to approve that. So moved. | 00:31:52 | |
| Second all in favor, aye. | 00:31:56 | |
| And we have nothing else but I just want nothing else from the County Attorney. But I just want to ask do you do you have any idea | 00:31:58 | |
| when the last? | 00:32:02 | |
| Such sale took place in Floyd County. | 00:32:05 | |
| It's been a long while. | 00:32:13 | |
| Actually, I think at one point when I was still an employee in the treasurer's office, we attempted to have a certificate sale. I | 00:32:14 | |
| do not know that it was a success, because we weren't. | 00:32:19 | |
| Heavily involved in it at that point. | 00:32:24 | |
| But it is something that. | 00:32:27 | |
| Has been. | 00:32:30 | |
| Infrequently encouraged. | 00:32:31 | |
| At least through the Treasurer's office, not necessarily through my office until the last couple years. | 00:32:33 | |
| There were a lot of other things that had to be addressed and caught up on before we could bring this back before the | 00:32:38 | |
| commissioners as a way to try and get inactive properties back on the tax rolls. | 00:32:42 | |
| I commend you all. | 00:32:46 | |
| For for taking this on this year, because it is. | 00:32:48 | |
| It's not new but it is new ish to us if that makes sense. | 00:32:52 | |
| So it's it's been a long while since we've had a certificate sale. | 00:32:56 | |
| Yeah, I think it's just another example of how your office, the treasurer's office, the commissioners, the council continues to | 00:32:59 | |
| work together to try. | 00:33:02 | |
| To find. | 00:33:06 | |
| Ways to save money in some. | 00:33:07 | |
| Places, but also. | 00:33:09 | |
| Look under the. | 00:33:11 | |
| Cushions on the couch to find a little bit of money. Do our best. | 00:33:12 | |
| So I appreciate it. | 00:33:15 | |
| Thank you for working with us on this. | 00:33:17 | |
| Thank you. | 00:33:18 | |
| All right, asking for approval of the Commissioners meeting minutes from February 3rd, 2026. | 00:33:20 | |

| Yeah, Box, I'll County Council on you open those beds. I was. | 00:34:02 | |
| Somewhat concerned that we were going to get that project done. | 00:34:06 | |
| So later it worked out that. | 00:34:09 | |
| That's a good thing. I think we got. | 00:34:12 | |

| Taking under advisement and all that process. | 00:34:24 | |
| We've been trying to light a fire under that project for a time. | 00:34:26 | |
| Mr. But I would like to say I was concerned it. | 00:34:29 | |
| We might get done because. | 00:34:33 | |
| Most people went way over what it was. | 00:34:35 | |
| Right. Well, I speak for both commissioners that I'm. | 00:34:37 | |
| Glad that your concerns were alleviated. Yeah. Hey, Dale, if you would please give Sharon our. | 00:34:40 | |

| We'll look for a motion to adjourn. So moved second, all right. | 00:34:57 | |
