Patt Biggs appeared before the board asking for the approval of the amounts that were cut from the 2014 budget.  He mentions that these amounts are not a raise, but to get the amounts the amounts of the contract.  They are all General Fund amounts.  Brad Streigel is concerned that the other office holders to come back to the board and ask for the money that was cut to be put back into the budgets.  Brad suggests tabling the amount until next month.  “This is not mandated by the state,” per Patt Biggs.  We have to pay the 30k plus, and change from the ¾ public time to the ½ time.  Which means if this is reduced then we are going to half to reduce the caseload by 1/3, if we do this we will not be able to meet the caseload.  Scott mentions that we have money in the lines to carry forward for 7 or 8 months.  The amount is contracted and we must continue to pay the contracted amount until we make the final decision.  The payment is made monthly for the contract.  John says, “I thought we had this discussion last month”.  Brad asked, “did the budget get approved with the 25% cuts?  The amount was approved with the cuts, per Scott Clark.  There are other departments that have contract services and other departments are effected, per Scott Clark.  Brad Striegel asks, “do you have enough to carry you through until we make the distinction between the necessary services?”  Patt Biggs says, “yes, if they are paid at the montly rate that they have been paid until then”.

Melissa Merida appeared before the Council to ask for the above additional.  They have looked at the ability to lower the rent.  The first page is the page that they currently maintain.  The next page is the entry level floor that they use but do not pay rent for.  The next page is what they are looking at as a possible change.  They are suggesting to let go of part of that space, and the building will make a larger conference room.  The downstairs location would become an area for the college.  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.  That’s the other good news, if we sign a 5 year contract they will be willing to pay for the build-out.”   “More good news, they won’t have to pay for any new lines,” said Melissa. 

 

The rent will decrease by a lot if they do this.  Brad did a quick calculation, and it looks like it’s a saving of $17,000.00 per year. 

 

John asked about the excess equipment. Melissa mentioned that they will need to sell some of the cubicles to make the move possible.  John asked, “Melissa what is the square foot of what you have now”?  Melissa replied, “850 square feet”. 

 

Melissa would prefer options 1 or 2.

 

John said, “they are giving up 1143 and getting about 1100, so it’s almost an even swap”.

 

Tom asked, “what option are you most happy with”? 

 

Jim asked, “have you asked the commissioners if they are okay with a contract”?  She belives so, it only went us a penny from 5 years ago.

 

Motion: Motion to accept option 2, Action: Approve, Moved by Lana Aebersold, Seconded by Brad Streigel.

 

 

 

Motion: Motion to table the request, Action: Approve, Moved by John Schellenberger, Seconded by Steve Burks.

Brad Walker is here to discuss an XP computer issue.  Brad was thinking that it was about 300 computers, but now it’s 180 to 200 because the police has already upgraded.  The amount would be $47,280.96 to upgrade the 180 to 200 computers that need to be upgraded.  We have a lot of computers that are failing and we need to replace the computers. The lease would be for 5 years.  Brad Streigel mentioned, “it’s a fairly new program, we haven’t done it this way before”.  Lana wants to know what we will do with the old computers.  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.

Roger Jeffers appeared before the Council to ask for the above additional.  Brad say’s, ”it’s my experience that the inter-local agreements have been a problem”.  He would like them to only be for time periods and not an open-ended time period.  The parks agreement is a one year agreement.  We will look into it again for the 2015 year.

Roger Jeffers has said that they will run out of money.  The Council has approved too much money, the State has cut the budget, so the Council will need to figure out the rest of the money because they approved the budget.

            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.
