It's very dirty, probably a little bit. 00:00:05
Welcome everyone to the July 21st meeting of the Floyd County Commissioners. If you will, please rise and join us in the Pledge of 00:00:10
Allegiance. 00:00:13
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America. 00:00:19
And to the Republic for which it stands. 00:00:23
One nation under God, indivisible. 00:00:26
With liberty and justice for all. 00:00:29
All right, if you have a cell phone, please put that on silent. 00:00:32
And do we have anyone sign in on OK, uh. 00:00:36
No one signed in for agenda items, but we'll have. 00:00:39
Open mic here at the end. 00:00:43
If you will, before we get started properly. 00:00:46
Join us for a moment of individual. 00:00:49
Silence for just reflection, prayer. 00:00:52
Meditation as you see fit. We'll get ready for the meeting. 00:00:57
All right. Thank you and welcome again. We'll begin with new business under item one, J Rack, Judge Stiller and. 00:01:19
You brought Anne Carruthers with you. Is Ian going to be joining you at the podium? She's well if she would in case there are 00:01:27
questions. 00:01:30
Hi, good evening. 00:01:33
And today I am here on behalf of. 00:01:34
The Floyd County J Rack Justice Reinvestment Advisory Council as chair. 00:01:38
And I am bringing to you a recommendation as you saw in your e-mail for. 00:01:44
Opioid fund expenditure. This is a renewal request for Clark Floyd System of Care. 00:01:49
For $110,000. 00:01:55
This was voted, presented and voted to the full J rack. 00:01:58
Earlier this month and. 00:02:02
Just as a reminder, as judges, we do not vote on opioid. 00:02:05
Recommendations. 00:02:09
But we do provide information and. 00:02:11
Collaboration, and I will say that. 00:02:15
I know I gave you the report presented. 00:02:19
By missing Carothers on Behalf, she's the executive director. 00:02:22
Of Clark Floyd System of Care and she did a really nice job with her report. 00:02:25
Explaining how the funds have been utilized. 00:02:30
The lights touched and what they're working on going forward. 00:02:33
I would just say. 00:02:37
I'm have a fully Superior Court 1 and also Felicity County JRAC. 00:02:39
Our partnership with Clark Floyd System of Care has really been instrumental to what we do and. 00:02:43
Our work in transforming our criminal justice system here locally. 00:02:47
And something that would be near and dear to your heart as commissioners and the care of inmates funds one of the. 00:02:52
One of the items that were really really. 00:02:57
Drilling down on is our competency. 00:02:59
Restoration cases and how we're handling those. 00:03:02
And we have directive from the state of Indiana to do something about it. 00:03:05
Across the state. 00:03:09
To find ways. 00:03:10
To address. 00:03:12
Cases where competency is at issue. 00:03:14
Other than. 00:03:17
Utilization of the Indiana Department of Mental Health. 00:03:18
And so there's no easy task and they're giving us lots of. 00:03:22
Suggestions and we're working through different scenarios but. 00:03:26
Clark Floyd System of care brings to the table quite a. 00:03:30
Quite a bit of expertise in that regard. So that's kind of one of the. 00:03:33
The big things we've been working on this year and we'll continue to work on in future years with the goal being. 00:03:35
A reduction of the cases needed to be sent to. 00:03:40
Indiana Department of Mental Health for competency restoration. 00:03:45
Probably because of the. 00:03:48
Great expense to the county, as you all well know, but also. 00:03:49
It is not good for the defendants in their cases. Sometimes they're. 00:03:54
Ended up being essentially detained much longer than they otherwise normally would be. 00:03:58
But also for the fact that they're taking spots from. 00:04:03
That are much needed by. 00:04:06
Per in several cases Ed OS. 00:04:09
Emergency detention orders, they just don't have the placement for them because they're being occupied by. 00:04:11
Felony and misdemeanor cases that are. 00:04:16
Competency, anyway, it's a big, big subject matter that we're working on and. 00:04:19
We appreciate Clark Floyd System of Care work on that and many other things. 00:04:23
So I'm asking that. 00:04:27
You consider. 00:04:29
The recommendation presented to fund them for $110,000 for this coming year their fiscal year runs. 00:04:30
Essentially now. 00:04:37
What is it? 00:04:39
July to June, so July 1st to to June. 00:04:40
Is what it would be. 00:04:43
Of next year. 00:04:45
Any questions or other information I can provide? 00:04:46
I have no I don't have any questions. 00:04:53
Frank No. 00:04:57
OK, there no further questions or discussions. 00:05:00
Promotion to approve. 00:05:03
So moved. 00:05:05
2nd. 00:05:07
OK, all in favor, aye? 00:05:08
Thank you, guys. Thank you for being here. Thank you Clark Floyd, System Care and Commissioners. 00:05:11
OK, umm. 00:05:17
Zoom from the Sheriff's Department health. 00:05:18
Good evening, Andrew Benson with the Volcano Sheriff's Office standing for Sheriff Steve Bush. He apologizes. He can't make it 00:05:25
this evening. He's out of town. 00:05:29
Before you should be the memorandum for special purchasing for body cameras. 00:05:33
I believe he sent it along with the contract a couple weeks ago. 00:05:39
Commissioners at 2:00. 00:05:43
A Christy Fox with her review. 00:05:44
From my understanding from the e-mail traffic, she didn't have any further issues with it. Some adjustments were made. 00:05:46
To her satisfaction. So before you for approval, see. 00:05:52
No, they only requested I would have is if we're going to approve this point, move to a contingent upon funding. 00:05:58
Of Life County Council. 00:06:03
Uh, within your budget. 00:06:05
Yeah, correct. He met with the he was at the council meeting this past week. 00:06:07
There was a consent consensus for OK. 00:06:13
There was no appropriations at that time because we didn't have the time to advertise for it. 00:06:18
OK. Thank you for the clarification. 00:06:23
No, I think it's a step in the right direction, so. 00:06:27
And I'm glad that. 00:06:30
The recommendations that were discussed have all been. 00:06:32
Ironed out, I suppose. Yep, I think all the changes that I had requested were made. Point out some other things to the Sheriff's 00:06:35
Department just so that they make sure to dock it and keep track of. 00:06:39
And to make sure that we have sufficient IT services to support those things. So I think they've worked on all that side. 00:06:44
You guys just from a statutory perspective are putting your blessing on allowing Sheriff Bush to sign off on the contract, I think 00:06:50
contingent on approval by the County Council for funding purposes would be. 00:06:56
Appropriate. 00:07:02
All right, then I will. 00:07:04
Ask for such a motion. 00:07:07
So moved. 00:07:08
I'll second. 00:07:10
Contingent on the funding. 00:07:11
All right, motion and 2nd all in favor, aye. 00:07:13
I thank you very much. 00:07:17
Chief Financial Officer Stan Howe, while you're making your way up, I'll say we've got 4 bids in place. Is there anyone else here 00:07:20

1,828,496 thousand. 00:11:10
And that's what we have. 00:11:20
Alright, we have 5 biz. 00:11:21
From a parliamentary standpoint, can you clarify for me? Do these need to be read into the record a second time? 00:11:23
Nope, you do not need to read them into the record a second time. 00:11:28
Then I'll look for a motion to take those bids under advisement. 00:11:31
So moved. 00:11:34
I'll second. 00:11:35
All in favor, aye? 00:11:36
All right. Thank you on that item. 00:11:39
Thank you very much. 00:11:42
The second item is the Edwardsville School gym demo contract. 00:11:44
The quotes were received at the July 7th Commissioners meeting. 00:11:49
The local was temple and temple. It's been presented to the attorney. 00:11:53
For legal review, there were some modifications that were requested or suggested. 00:11:58
Those were all adhered to in the contract language. 00:12:04
I believe the original the revised contract has been presented to the commissioners for. 00:12:08
Review and for approval and signature at this point. 00:12:14
The dollar amount. 00:12:22
40. 00:12:24
3280 dollars. 00:12:25
Yes, yeah, yeah. 42,280 two 180. 00:12:27
This is a 42 to 43. 00:12:34
4343 thousand 280 OK. 00:12:36
Alright, I have no further questions on that. 00:12:41
Did he approve that? 00:12:47
Yeah, we'll need to approve that motion to approve. 00:12:48
I'll second. 00:12:51
All in favor, aye? 00:12:52
All right. Thank you. 00:12:55
The third item here is C This is preventing the maintenance software. 00:12:58
The. 00:13:03
County Road Department Highway Director Sydney, Maine have been working diligently trying to. 00:13:05
Protect and preserve a lot of our capital assets and one of the things that we needed in place was some form of a. 00:13:10
Preventive maintenance control. 00:13:18
Software application process. 00:13:21
So what we've. 00:13:24
Narrowed down to as a an organization, RTA has presented a. 00:13:25
Very reasonable. 00:13:30
Opportunity for the county to. 00:13:32
Enter into an agreement. 00:13:35
To maintain the and preserve our capital assets. 00:13:36
This is not only our vehicles, but also our capital asset equipment as well. 00:13:40
This engagement and this initial cost outlay is for what I would suggest to the commissioners would be for a one year contract 00:13:45
agreement. 00:13:49
It's $11,349 for a one year agreement for the. 00:13:54
The software support and application. 00:13:59
There is a. 00:14:02
Very insignificant startup fee. 00:14:04
My suggestion is that we cover this with the funds from the auction. 00:14:07
To move forward with this particular program. 00:14:12
Sydney is here if you have any questions with regards to the intricacies of the of the. 00:14:15
The program offer we vetted this with our IT specialist, Gary Bierman. 00:14:20
To ensure that both of the system, our system that's in place. 00:14:26
And this cloud based system interact without any. 00:14:30
Issues or concerns are breaches of security for the county itself. 00:14:34
Just for the record, the auction cleared. 00:14:40
Right at 53,000 or. 00:14:42
Yes, it was slightly over 53,000. There was 59 I think brought in the administrative fees were approximately 6000 ish which left. 00:14:44
A net profit to the county of. 00:14:53
Just over $53,000. 00:14:55
In the one year. 00:14:58
Contracted price on this. 00:14:59
11,349. 00:15:02
It's it's almost 17 with the startup, with the startup cost. Yes ma'am. 00:15:05
Total, yeah, it's a one that that's a one time startup, correct, Of course, yes. 00:15:10
No, I think it's overdue. That's a good idea and funding has been creatively found for. 00:15:15
I have no questions on it. 00:15:24
Make a motion to accept. 00:15:26
This. I'm sorry to chime in here, but if you could also approve to allow Al to sign this outside of a meeting please. 00:15:29
They came to a doctor to accept and allow all the sign outside the meeting. 00:15:35
I'll second all in favor, aye. 00:15:39
Thank you very much. 00:15:44
Item D The crow engagement. 00:15:46
Agreement. 00:15:49
Grow has provided the county with a TIF neutralization report, so the last several years. 00:15:51
This is just an engagement letter to allow Crow. 00:15:58
To move forward with this year's tip neutralization. 00:16:01
Hosting I guess to the gateway system. 00:16:07
Right. And I would also look for a motion to approve this. 00:16:10
Grant me permission to sign this outside of the meeting. 00:16:14
So moved. 00:16:17
2nd. 00:16:19
OK, all in favor, aye? 00:16:20
The final item I would. 00:16:24
Like to request Frank walk up and for instance, Frank Walden, while you're doing that, I want to a point of order. I needed to add 00:16:27
one other item to the agenda. 00:16:31
Which is under your purview as well. It's just the. 00:16:35
So. 00:16:39
We had an additional administrative plat that needed a signature for Sundown Farms. 00:16:41
That's correct. This promotion to add that to the. 00:16:46
Agenda for tonight With unanimous consent, I'll make that motion. 00:16:48
2nd. 00:16:52
Thank you all in favor, aye. 00:16:53
Alright, thanks. Thank you, Sir. 00:16:55
Good evening. 00:17:01
I've got plot approval for Shaw Ridge Administrative Replat, which is plat #1593. 00:17:02
This three plot was to split one lot into two for creation of a new residential building site. 00:17:09
A waiver of the shared driveway requirements was also granted by the Plan Commission. 00:17:15
I personally went out and bought 2 pins. 00:17:31
And you do need a motion to approve with us before you sign. Yeah, motion to approve this so moved to your signature. 00:17:36
2nd. 00:17:42
OK, all in favor, aye? 00:17:43
If you want to proceed with, sure. 00:17:47
I have a plot approval for Shaw Ridge Administrative replat plat #1577. This replat was displayed one lot into. 00:17:50
To for creation of a new residential building site. 00:17:57
Since an administrative plat was submitted last year. 00:18:00
This required Planning Commission approval for this one as well. 00:18:03
Hey. 00:18:08
Approval for signature on that plat as well. Make a motion. Approve. 00:18:10
2nd. 00:18:13
All in favor, aye? 00:18:14
Aye, and I all right. 00:18:17
2 pins. 00:18:23
Be careful when you fold that up. 00:18:33
Maybe keep it flat for a little bit. 00:18:36
Do we need to sign both copies or just one sign first? 00:18:44
You going to watch that arm? 00:18:49
I know I'm trying to watch it. 00:18:53
I'm left on the left hand. 00:18:57
You should wear gloves from now on to. 00:19:02
All right, well, Commissioner Luke. 00:19:05
Is working on those two. I will ask for approval. 00:19:07
Of the Commissioners meeting minutes for July 7, 2026. 00:19:11
So moved. 00:19:14
Second, all in favor? 00:19:17
Aye, and also approval of the joint meeting minutes from May 15, 2026. 00:19:19
Yeah, we're addressing that here because we did not have, we cancelled the last couple of joint meetings. We're not meeting again 00:19:27
till September and we have a bond issue that needs to have approved minutes. So we decided to go ahead and break it apart at each 00:19:30
meeting. 00:19:34
Yeah, so move. 00:19:39
And 2nd, 2nd. 00:19:40

Is there are there any? 00:20:03
Government officials would like to comment tonight. 00:20:05
Yeah, by Shaw County Council. 00:20:13
I'll just beat up Dead Horse, but I just think it's so cool that we got. 00:20:15
People talking to space shuttle. 00:20:19
Space station in Louisville, Floyd County. 00:20:22
That's a red bar thing yesterday also. 00:20:24
I've been around a long time, but what's bridge 27? 00:20:27
I think it's. 00:20:29
Greenville, Georgetown Railroad, Greenville Rd. But. 00:20:30
When we said Britain, I know Bridge 51 blacksmith, so I'm learning what? 00:20:34
Bridge numbers. 00:20:38
Greenville. 00:20:39
Georgetown Rd. Yeah, right near the Conservation Club. 00:20:40
Any other government officials? 00:20:46
Anyone from the public who would like to speak tonight? 00:20:48
Mister Man. 00:20:51
I just want to remind everyone that this is for public comment. This is not a public hearing tonight. 00:20:52
So that's not AQ and A and. 00:20:57
We'll limit folks to two. 00:20:59
I just want to tell you. 00:21:02
Bridge 27. I remember when they redid that. 00:21:04
And hopefully the contractor that did it. 00:21:07
That's only that's only like 50 years ago. 00:21:09
Get the most 55, zero or 1/5. 00:21:12
You say 50 or 50. It should have been about 50 some years ago when that bridge was done. 00:21:16
And I bridge lifespan I thought would be a lot longer. 00:21:21
We got some that one endorsed. I'm going to bear with me. It's been there forever. 00:21:26
That bridge had been done and and they read, they redid it. 00:21:30
Not very long ago. 00:21:34
I know Frank members when that bridge was probably. 00:21:35
As we jump off as a kid, but that's not very long lifespan for three years. 00:21:39
That's a lot of money. Thank you. 00:21:43
Thank you. 00:21:45
Any other public comment tonight? 00:21:47
Yes, please. 00:21:52
Jerry Brewer at 1907 Graybrook Lane, New Albany. 00:21:54
I'm not asking for any money, I know you're not the council anyway, but. 00:22:00
I would ask for your consideration for support for the public. 00:22:03
On the EBT grant. 00:22:07
That that the governor did not. 00:22:09
Sign he's let it go again. They've got a $4 billion surplus. 00:22:12
Took $12 million to return $100 million to Floyd County. 00:22:18
For poor people. 00:22:23
Not for what you stay. 00:22:25
Floyd and. 00:22:26
I have little power and each one of you individually really don't. 00:22:28
But you 3 collectively if you could pass a resolution. 00:22:32
And address a letter. 00:22:36
To the Governor to consider. 00:22:38
Helping the poor people of. 00:22:40
The steak. 00:22:42
That's just a request. 00:22:45
Also I have another request. 00:22:47
I know you asked with the Floyd County Library. 00:22:49
We had the food pantry. 00:22:53
And one of the reasons that one of the members was here a while ago. But she laughed at the library. 00:22:55
One of the problems we had with the food and the food pantry is the USDA grant. 00:23:00
Went away. 00:23:06
We didn't get it. 00:23:07
So again I would ask. 00:23:08
That this board, in unison, passed a resolution. 00:23:10
To Ashtar 9th District Congressman Houchin. 00:23:14
Senator Baines. 00:23:18
And Senator Todd Young to reconsider, to write a letter to USDA. 00:23:20
To bring back funding for four people at four people at the food pantry. 00:23:25
In the Floyd County Library. 00:23:30
No money, just. 00:23:32
Could you help us? 00:23:34
You know I understand how it work, could come a lot from you 3IN in general, but. 00:23:36
We do need the help. 00:23:41
A couple other quick items. 00:23:42
Purdue, I don't, I don't know if you. 00:23:47
I know there was some discussion on Purdue. 00:23:50
But we got in the. 00:23:52
Farm Newsletter. 00:23:53
That they're going to be reorganizing regionally. I don't know how much you know about that. This was in farm week. I'm not making 00:23:55
it up. 00:23:58
But we will be in Region 12, Clark, Crawford, Floyd, Harrison, Orange, Scott and Washington counties. 00:24:02
So I just wondered how that will affect your budget? 00:24:08
Educator, are we going to have a full time? 00:24:11
You know, something for you to consider and and see. 00:24:14
If they're cutting service. 00:24:18
Do we have to make the same commitment to Purdue? 00:24:20
For office. 00:24:23
Educator or what? 00:24:24
So, you know, I don't know how much you know about it. You have 30 seconds, Sir. 00:24:26
You have 30 seconds. 00:24:30
30 seconds. Yes Sir. 00:24:32
Well, OK, I'm gonna talk really quick. 00:24:35
I asked you before about the Floyd County occupational tax. I know the council puts it on. 00:24:37
But I know it was done for Jamie Knoll to kind of take care of the ambulance problem. 00:24:42
I just wish you could consider. 00:24:48
Reasoning that you said you got $300,000 on the edit tax. 00:24:50
But that really come from taxpayers. 00:24:54
Dead attacks. I'm fine myself, but there's a lot of people struggling. 00:24:56
And I want. 00:25:00
Please give me one second and I'll try to be as discreet. 00:25:01
It's probable. 00:25:05
But what we are concerned about the six. 00:25:07
The uh, uh, two months. 00:25:10
That we're losing. 00:25:13
In state funds for gas tax that will affect the county. 00:25:15
I know it's going to be made-up some. Do you know if it's all together? 00:25:19
Is it do you? Is it there they making it all up? 00:25:22
That If not, there's concern. 00:25:24
That there will be layoffs, surgeons expired. Thank you. 00:25:27
Could I? We could talk after the meeting if you like. 00:25:30
Could I please ask what? 00:25:33
Your times expired, Sir. Thank you. 00:25:35
Or anyone else from the public tonight? 00:25:38
All right. If not, any closing statements from the commissioners? 00:25:43
I'm done. 00:25:48
2nd. 00:25:49
Good motion to endure. Accepted. 00:25:50

Event transcript
It's very dirty, probably a little bit. 00:00:05
Welcome everyone to the July 21st meeting of the Floyd County Commissioners. If you will, please rise and join us in the Pledge of 00:00:10
Allegiance. 00:00:13
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America. 00:00:19
And to the Republic for which it stands. 00:00:23
One nation under God, indivisible. 00:00:26
With liberty and justice for all. 00:00:29
All right, if you have a cell phone, please put that on silent. 00:00:32
And do we have anyone sign in on OK, uh. 00:00:36
No one signed in for agenda items, but we'll have. 00:00:39
Open mic here at the end. 00:00:43
If you will, before we get started properly. 00:00:46
Join us for a moment of individual. 00:00:49
Silence for just reflection, prayer. 00:00:52
Meditation as you see fit. We'll get ready for the meeting. 00:00:57
All right. Thank you and welcome again. We'll begin with new business under item one, J Rack, Judge Stiller and. 00:01:19
You brought Anne Carruthers with you. Is Ian going to be joining you at the podium? She's well if she would in case there are 00:01:27
questions. 00:01:30
Hi, good evening. 00:01:33
And today I am here on behalf of. 00:01:34
The Floyd County J Rack Justice Reinvestment Advisory Council as chair. 00:01:38
And I am bringing to you a recommendation as you saw in your e-mail for. 00:01:44
Opioid fund expenditure. This is a renewal request for Clark Floyd System of Care. 00:01:49
For $110,000. 00:01:55
This was voted, presented and voted to the full J rack. 00:01:58
Earlier this month and. 00:02:02
Just as a reminder, as judges, we do not vote on opioid. 00:02:05
Recommendations. 00:02:09
But we do provide information and. 00:02:11
Collaboration, and I will say that. 00:02:15
I know I gave you the report presented. 00:02:19
By missing Carothers on Behalf, she's the executive director. 00:02:22
Of Clark Floyd System of Care and she did a really nice job with her report. 00:02:25
Explaining how the funds have been utilized. 00:02:30
The lights touched and what they're working on going forward. 00:02:33
I would just say. 00:02:37
I'm have a fully Superior Court 1 and also Felicity County JRAC. 00:02:39
Our partnership with Clark Floyd System of Care has really been instrumental to what we do and. 00:02:43
Our work in transforming our criminal justice system here locally. 00:02:47
And something that would be near and dear to your heart as commissioners and the care of inmates funds one of the. 00:02:52
One of the items that were really really. 00:02:57
Drilling down on is our competency. 00:02:59
Restoration cases and how we're handling those. 00:03:02
And we have directive from the state of Indiana to do something about it. 00:03:05
Across the state. 00:03:09
To find ways. 00:03:10
To address. 00:03:12
Cases where competency is at issue. 00:03:14
Other than. 00:03:17
Utilization of the Indiana Department of Mental Health. 00:03:18
And so there's no easy task and they're giving us lots of. 00:03:22
Suggestions and we're working through different scenarios but. 00:03:26
Clark Floyd System of care brings to the table quite a. 00:03:30
Quite a bit of expertise in that regard. So that's kind of one of the. 00:03:33
The big things we've been working on this year and we'll continue to work on in future years with the goal being. 00:03:35
A reduction of the cases needed to be sent to. 00:03:40
Indiana Department of Mental Health for competency restoration. 00:03:45
Probably because of the. 00:03:48
Great expense to the county, as you all well know, but also. 00:03:49
It is not good for the defendants in their cases. Sometimes they're. 00:03:54
Ended up being essentially detained much longer than they otherwise normally would be. 00:03:58
But also for the fact that they're taking spots from. 00:04:03
That are much needed by. 00:04:06
Per in several cases Ed OS. 00:04:09
Emergency detention orders, they just don't have the placement for them because they're being occupied by. 00:04:11
Felony and misdemeanor cases that are. 00:04:16
Competency, anyway, it's a big, big subject matter that we're working on and. 00:04:19
We appreciate Clark Floyd System of Care work on that and many other things. 00:04:23
So I'm asking that. 00:04:27
You consider. 00:04:29
The recommendation presented to fund them for $110,000 for this coming year their fiscal year runs. 00:04:30
Essentially now. 00:04:37
What is it? 00:04:39
July to June, so July 1st to to June. 00:04:40
Is what it would be. 00:04:43
Of next year. 00:04:45
Any questions or other information I can provide? 00:04:46
I have no I don't have any questions. 00:04:53
Frank No. 00:04:57
OK, there no further questions or discussions. 00:05:00
Promotion to approve. 00:05:03
So moved. 00:05:05
2nd. 00:05:07
OK, all in favor, aye? 00:05:08
Thank you, guys. Thank you for being here. Thank you Clark Floyd, System Care and Commissioners. 00:05:11
OK, umm. 00:05:17
Zoom from the Sheriff's Department health. 00:05:18
Good evening, Andrew Benson with the Volcano Sheriff's Office standing for Sheriff Steve Bush. He apologizes. He can't make it 00:05:25
this evening. He's out of town. 00:05:29
Before you should be the memorandum for special purchasing for body cameras. 00:05:33
I believe he sent it along with the contract a couple weeks ago. 00:05:39
Commissioners at 2:00. 00:05:43
A Christy Fox with her review. 00:05:44
From my understanding from the e-mail traffic, she didn't have any further issues with it. Some adjustments were made. 00:05:46
To her satisfaction. So before you for approval, see. 00:05:52
No, they only requested I would have is if we're going to approve this point, move to a contingent upon funding. 00:05:58
Of Life County Council. 00:06:03
Uh, within your budget. 00:06:05
Yeah, correct. He met with the he was at the council meeting this past week. 00:06:07
There was a consent consensus for OK. 00:06:13
There was no appropriations at that time because we didn't have the time to advertise for it. 00:06:18
OK. Thank you for the clarification. 00:06:23
No, I think it's a step in the right direction, so. 00:06:27
And I'm glad that. 00:06:30
The recommendations that were discussed have all been. 00:06:32
Ironed out, I suppose. Yep, I think all the changes that I had requested were made. Point out some other things to the Sheriff's 00:06:35
Department just so that they make sure to dock it and keep track of. 00:06:39
And to make sure that we have sufficient IT services to support those things. So I think they've worked on all that side. 00:06:44
You guys just from a statutory perspective are putting your blessing on allowing Sheriff Bush to sign off on the contract, I think 00:06:50
contingent on approval by the County Council for funding purposes would be. 00:06:56
Appropriate. 00:07:02
All right, then I will. 00:07:04
Ask for such a motion. 00:07:07
So moved. 00:07:08
I'll second. 00:07:10
Contingent on the funding. 00:07:11
All right, motion and 2nd all in favor, aye. 00:07:13
I thank you very much. 00:07:17
Chief Financial Officer Stan Howe, while you're making your way up, I'll say we've got 4 bids in place. Is there anyone else here 00:07:20

Wishing to present a bid in person for the Bridge 27 replacement project. 00:07:26
All right then. 00:07:33

1,828,496 thousand. 00:11:10
And that's what we have. 00:11:20
Alright, we have 5 biz. 00:11:21
From a parliamentary standpoint, can you clarify for me? Do these need to be read into the record a second time? 00:11:23
Nope, you do not need to read them into the record a second time. 00:11:28
Then I'll look for a motion to take those bids under advisement. 00:11:31
So moved. 00:11:34
I'll second. 00:11:35
All in favor, aye? 00:11:36
All right. Thank you on that item. 00:11:39
Thank you very much. 00:11:42
The second item is the Edwardsville School gym demo contract. 00:11:44
The quotes were received at the July 7th Commissioners meeting. 00:11:49
The local was temple and temple. It's been presented to the attorney. 00:11:53
For legal review, there were some modifications that were requested or suggested. 00:11:58
Those were all adhered to in the contract language. 00:12:04
I believe the original the revised contract has been presented to the commissioners for. 00:12:08
Review and for approval and signature at this point. 00:12:14
The dollar amount. 00:12:22
40. 00:12:24
3280 dollars. 00:12:25
Yes, yeah, yeah. 42,280 two 180. 00:12:27
This is a 42 to 43. 00:12:34
4343 thousand 280 OK. 00:12:36
Alright, I have no further questions on that. 00:12:41
Did he approve that? 00:12:47
Yeah, we'll need to approve that motion to approve. 00:12:48
I'll second. 00:12:51
All in favor, aye? 00:12:52
All right. Thank you. 00:12:55
The third item here is C This is preventing the maintenance software. 00:12:58
The. 00:13:03
County Road Department Highway Director Sydney, Maine have been working diligently trying to. 00:13:05
Protect and preserve a lot of our capital assets and one of the things that we needed in place was some form of a. 00:13:10
Preventive maintenance control. 00:13:18
Software application process. 00:13:21
So what we've. 00:13:24
Narrowed down to as a an organization, RTA has presented a. 00:13:25
Very reasonable. 00:13:30
Opportunity for the county to. 00:13:32
Enter into an agreement. 00:13:35
To maintain the and preserve our capital assets. 00:13:36
This is not only our vehicles, but also our capital asset equipment as well. 00:13:40
This engagement and this initial cost outlay is for what I would suggest to the commissioners would be for a one year contract 00:13:45
agreement. 00:13:49
It's $11,349 for a one year agreement for the. 00:13:54
The software support and application. 00:13:59
There is a. 00:14:02
Very insignificant startup fee. 00:14:04
My suggestion is that we cover this with the funds from the auction. 00:14:07
To move forward with this particular program. 00:14:12
Sydney is here if you have any questions with regards to the intricacies of the of the. 00:14:15
The program offer we vetted this with our IT specialist, Gary Bierman. 00:14:20
To ensure that both of the system, our system that's in place. 00:14:26
And this cloud based system interact without any. 00:14:30
Issues or concerns are breaches of security for the county itself. 00:14:34
Just for the record, the auction cleared. 00:14:40
Right at 53,000 or. 00:14:42
Yes, it was slightly over 53,000. There was 59 I think brought in the administrative fees were approximately 6000 ish which left. 00:14:44
A net profit to the county of. 00:14:53
Just over $53,000. 00:14:55
In the one year. 00:14:58
Contracted price on this. 00:14:59
11,349. 00:15:02
It's it's almost 17 with the startup, with the startup cost. Yes ma'am. 00:15:05
Total, yeah, it's a one that that's a one time startup, correct, Of course, yes. 00:15:10
No, I think it's overdue. That's a good idea and funding has been creatively found for. 00:15:15
I have no questions on it. 00:15:24
Make a motion to accept. 00:15:26
This. I'm sorry to chime in here, but if you could also approve to allow Al to sign this outside of a meeting please. 00:15:29
They came to a doctor to accept and allow all the sign outside the meeting. 00:15:35
I'll second all in favor, aye. 00:15:39
Thank you very much. 00:15:44
Item D The crow engagement. 00:15:46
Agreement. 00:15:49
Grow has provided the county with a TIF neutralization report, so the last several years. 00:15:51
This is just an engagement letter to allow Crow. 00:15:58
To move forward with this year's tip neutralization. 00:16:01
Hosting I guess to the gateway system. 00:16:07
Right. And I would also look for a motion to approve this. 00:16:10
Grant me permission to sign this outside of the meeting. 00:16:14
So moved. 00:16:17
2nd. 00:16:19
OK, all in favor, aye? 00:16:20
The final item I would. 00:16:24
Like to request Frank walk up and for instance, Frank Walden, while you're doing that, I want to a point of order. I needed to add 00:16:27
one other item to the agenda. 00:16:31
Which is under your purview as well. It's just the. 00:16:35
So. 00:16:39
We had an additional administrative plat that needed a signature for Sundown Farms. 00:16:41
That's correct. This promotion to add that to the. 00:16:46
Agenda for tonight With unanimous consent, I'll make that motion. 00:16:48
2nd. 00:16:52
Thank you all in favor, aye. 00:16:53
Alright, thanks. Thank you, Sir. 00:16:55
Good evening. 00:17:01
I've got plot approval for Shaw Ridge Administrative Replat, which is plat #1593. 00:17:02
This three plot was to split one lot into two for creation of a new residential building site. 00:17:09
A waiver of the shared driveway requirements was also granted by the Plan Commission. 00:17:15
I personally went out and bought 2 pins. 00:17:31
And you do need a motion to approve with us before you sign. Yeah, motion to approve this so moved to your signature. 00:17:36
2nd. 00:17:42
OK, all in favor, aye? 00:17:43
If you want to proceed with, sure. 00:17:47
I have a plot approval for Shaw Ridge Administrative replat plat #1577. This replat was displayed one lot into. 00:17:50
To for creation of a new residential building site. 00:17:57
Since an administrative plat was submitted last year. 00:18:00
This required Planning Commission approval for this one as well. 00:18:03
Hey. 00:18:08
Approval for signature on that plat as well. Make a motion. Approve. 00:18:10
2nd. 00:18:13
All in favor, aye? 00:18:14
Aye, and I all right. 00:18:17
2 pins. 00:18:23
Be careful when you fold that up. 00:18:33
Maybe keep it flat for a little bit. 00:18:36
Do we need to sign both copies or just one sign first? 00:18:44
You going to watch that arm? 00:18:49
I know I'm trying to watch it. 00:18:53
I'm left on the left hand. 00:18:57
You should wear gloves from now on to. 00:19:02
All right, well, Commissioner Luke. 00:19:05
Is working on those two. I will ask for approval. 00:19:07
Of the Commissioners meeting minutes for July 7, 2026. 00:19:11
So moved. 00:19:14
Second, all in favor? 00:19:17
Aye, and also approval of the joint meeting minutes from May 15, 2026. 00:19:19
Yeah, we're addressing that here because we did not have, we cancelled the last couple of joint meetings. We're not meeting again 00:19:27
till September and we have a bond issue that needs to have approved minutes. So we decided to go ahead and break it apart at each 00:19:30
meeting. 00:19:34
Yeah, so move. 00:19:39
And 2nd, 2nd. 00:19:40

All in favor, aye, All right. And our next Commissioners meeting will be Tuesday, August 4/20/26 at 6:00 PM. 00:19:56
Is there are there any? 00:20:03
Government officials would like to comment tonight. 00:20:05
Yeah, by Shaw County Council. 00:20:13
I'll just beat up Dead Horse, but I just think it's so cool that we got. 00:20:15
People talking to space shuttle. 00:20:19
Space station in Louisville, Floyd County. 00:20:22
That's a red bar thing yesterday also. 00:20:24
I've been around a long time, but what's bridge 27? 00:20:27
I think it's. 00:20:29
Greenville, Georgetown Railroad, Greenville Rd. But. 00:20:30
When we said Britain, I know Bridge 51 blacksmith, so I'm learning what? 00:20:34
Bridge numbers. 00:20:38
Greenville. 00:20:39
Georgetown Rd. Yeah, right near the Conservation Club. 00:20:40
Any other government officials? 00:20:46
Anyone from the public who would like to speak tonight? 00:20:48
Mister Man. 00:20:51
I just want to remind everyone that this is for public comment. This is not a public hearing tonight. 00:20:52
So that's not AQ and A and. 00:20:57
We'll limit folks to two. 00:20:59
I just want to tell you. 00:21:02
Bridge 27. I remember when they redid that. 00:21:04
And hopefully the contractor that did it. 00:21:07
That's only that's only like 50 years ago. 00:21:09
Get the most 55, zero or 1/5. 00:21:12
You say 50 or 50. It should have been about 50 some years ago when that bridge was done. 00:21:16
And I bridge lifespan I thought would be a lot longer. 00:21:21
We got some that one endorsed. I'm going to bear with me. It's been there forever. 00:21:26
That bridge had been done and and they read, they redid it. 00:21:30
Not very long ago. 00:21:34
I know Frank members when that bridge was probably. 00:21:35
As we jump off as a kid, but that's not very long lifespan for three years. 00:21:39
That's a lot of money. Thank you. 00:21:43
Thank you. 00:21:45
Any other public comment tonight? 00:21:47
Yes, please. 00:21:52
Jerry Brewer at 1907 Graybrook Lane, New Albany. 00:21:54
I'm not asking for any money, I know you're not the council anyway, but. 00:22:00
I would ask for your consideration for support for the public. 00:22:03
On the EBT grant. 00:22:07
That that the governor did not. 00:22:09
Sign he's let it go again. They've got a $4 billion surplus. 00:22:12
Took $12 million to return $100 million to Floyd County. 00:22:18
For poor people. 00:22:23
Not for what you stay. 00:22:25
Floyd and. 00:22:26
I have little power and each one of you individually really don't. 00:22:28
But you 3 collectively if you could pass a resolution. 00:22:32
And address a letter. 00:22:36
To the Governor to consider. 00:22:38
Helping the poor people of. 00:22:40
The steak. 00:22:42
That's just a request. 00:22:45
Also I have another request. 00:22:47
I know you asked with the Floyd County Library. 00:22:49
We had the food pantry. 00:22:53
And one of the reasons that one of the members was here a while ago. But she laughed at the library. 00:22:55
One of the problems we had with the food and the food pantry is the USDA grant. 00:23:00
Went away. 00:23:06
We didn't get it. 00:23:07
So again I would ask. 00:23:08
That this board, in unison, passed a resolution. 00:23:10
To Ashtar 9th District Congressman Houchin. 00:23:14
Senator Baines. 00:23:18
And Senator Todd Young to reconsider, to write a letter to USDA. 00:23:20
To bring back funding for four people at four people at the food pantry. 00:23:25
In the Floyd County Library. 00:23:30
No money, just. 00:23:32
Could you help us? 00:23:34
You know I understand how it work, could come a lot from you 3IN in general, but. 00:23:36
We do need the help. 00:23:41
A couple other quick items. 00:23:42
Purdue, I don't, I don't know if you. 00:23:47
I know there was some discussion on Purdue. 00:23:50
But we got in the. 00:23:52
Farm Newsletter. 00:23:53
That they're going to be reorganizing regionally. I don't know how much you know about that. This was in farm week. I'm not making 00:23:55
it up. 00:23:58
But we will be in Region 12, Clark, Crawford, Floyd, Harrison, Orange, Scott and Washington counties. 00:24:02
So I just wondered how that will affect your budget? 00:24:08
Educator, are we going to have a full time? 00:24:11
You know, something for you to consider and and see. 00:24:14
If they're cutting service. 00:24:18
Do we have to make the same commitment to Purdue? 00:24:20
For office. 00:24:23
Educator or what? 00:24:24
So, you know, I don't know how much you know about it. You have 30 seconds, Sir. 00:24:26
You have 30 seconds. 00:24:30
30 seconds. Yes Sir. 00:24:32
Well, OK, I'm gonna talk really quick. 00:24:35
I asked you before about the Floyd County occupational tax. I know the council puts it on. 00:24:37
But I know it was done for Jamie Knoll to kind of take care of the ambulance problem. 00:24:42
I just wish you could consider. 00:24:48
Reasoning that you said you got $300,000 on the edit tax. 00:24:50
But that really come from taxpayers. 00:24:54
Dead attacks. I'm fine myself, but there's a lot of people struggling. 00:24:56
And I want. 00:25:00
Please give me one second and I'll try to be as discreet. 00:25:01
It's probable. 00:25:05
But what we are concerned about the six. 00:25:07
The uh, uh, two months. 00:25:10
That we're losing. 00:25:13
In state funds for gas tax that will affect the county. 00:25:15
I know it's going to be made-up some. Do you know if it's all together? 00:25:19
Is it do you? Is it there they making it all up? 00:25:22
That If not, there's concern. 00:25:24
That there will be layoffs, surgeons expired. Thank you. 00:25:27
Could I? We could talk after the meeting if you like. 00:25:30
Could I please ask what? 00:25:33
Your times expired, Sir. Thank you. 00:25:35
Or anyone else from the public tonight? 00:25:38
All right. If not, any closing statements from the commissioners? 00:25:43
I'm done. 00:25:48
2nd. 00:25:49
Good motion to endure. Accepted. 00:25:50
