There is a large space that is currently a storage room, but it will be a new area for the clerical staff. A concern is: what if they grow and run out of run. To smaller offices are available in case they need to expand. The chart shows the possible rent amounts. They will be getter a lot more space with less money paid. John says, “Option 1 is to take the back area”. This will give them a doorway. Melissa mentioned, “they are looking at areas to make it look nice.

Brad says we want to give some to the youth shelter. Brad would like to go with Windows 8. All of the computers are under warranty for 5 years, they send someone out to fix a computer that is down. This includes all of the software that we would need. The license would be based on the machine. Our vendors are not supporting XP because of the security issues, we need to update the computers. Brad asked about the bidding, most things takes 3 bids, do you know if it takes 3 bids. Steve would recommend that we take do 3 bids. Brad is looking for a consensus to move forward, and he will need to ask for the money next month. Brad thinks will get the money from the Telecom savings has helped us save money, that will save us 8200 per year, a City contract will save us 40,000 a year. The agreement with the City is that they will give us 10,000 a year, but last year they paid us 50,000 so they should give us an additional 40,000 for this year. Brad mentions that we could ask for money from the Office holders for the additional amounts. Brad called the Office holders today, and he has a list of Office Holders are willing to help with the costs. Brad’s list shows how many computers that we will need and the number of computers that we will need. Scott mentioned that we will only need 34,000 for the contract. For this calendar year the amount is less, but it’s still 60 months, but if we sign next month, it will be a lower amount for the remainder of the year. If we go with the monthly option it will be less money. Per Brad, “the price is only good until Friday”. The Commissioner’s have agreed to sign the lease if the Council is okay with it. All Council members have said that they would support. Next month, we will be asking for the money from the Council. 16. | |

Old Business – Property Committee The committee did meet and the properties discussed are the annex building and the frontage, there are roughly 22 acres, called the O’Brian property, the Reitz building, and they discussed better utilization of Pineview, and discussed the hospital. The Reitz building house community corrections and adult probation. We can’t have adult offenders and juveniles housed around the same facility. “Housed.” They will have to look into the statue to find out what “housed” would mean exactly. Brad is working with Don Lopp about space at Pineview, it’s Brad’s hope that they might be able to have something by next month. Steve is concerned that if we sell the property be sold to a “big box” store, would it be annexed into the City and we end up losing tax revenue on the property. Lana mentioned, that if we don’t sell it, it just sits there and we get no money on it. Trish Byrd, mentioned that the Annex property is already in the City, they don’t pay taxes to because it’s County owned. We do have an offer it’s in the area of .5 of a million dollars for the building and a little bit of land, but Jim Wathen can’t say to whom, yet. John wants to talk about the budget transfer amounts that the Council President is allowed to sign for. If we don’t make an amount all transfers will come before the Council. Motion: Motion to sign for transfers up to 2500 dollars outside of this meeting, but it should come back to Council at the end of September., Action: Adjourn, Moved by John Schellenberger, Seconded by Lana Aebersold. Motion passed unanimously. PUBLIC Pat Biggs has mentioned that Judge Hancock was able to get his amount raised back up to the original amount for his public defenders. They now have 3 public defenders at 34,600 and 5 at 28,000, they need to keep that in mind when they talk about it. Motion: , Action: Adjourn, Moved by John Schellenberger, Seconded by Tom Pickett.
