The sewer connection is being dug in now for the jail.
Rullman noted that Lawrenceburg did not forgive the sewer tap connection.
Planning and Zoning-
Mark McCormack- Proposed Changes to the
Subdivision Control Ordinance:
Staff has been working to articulate survey requirements as
required by state law, Indiana Rule 12, and some more specific ones that
auditor’s and surveyor’s offices want on their plats. All 6 members present at
PC favorably recommended these. Some retracements for consolidation are exempt
from this. Now we are requiring
retracements to go through Planning and Zoning to be sure all requirements are
met. This was advertised. Public hearing was held and no public commented.
Article 2 Section 200- Subdivision Types – was approved by
commissioners.
Article 2 Section 262 Retracement Survey Requirements- was

breakout and fill next week.
Low key ground breaking ceremony on the jail project is
tomorrow.
Per Listerman Randall said North Dearborn Road project
finished and is opening up.
EMS Alliance meeting
on Saturday with Kevin Lynch and Randall went well. There were a couple
departments who were not at the meeting which concerned Lynch ( and he never
stated who was missing)- but they were very encouraged by the ones present who
are working together. Progress is being made. They should have a recommendation
for commissioners in the next 30 days. It always comes down to the money. The
EMS groups are using Lawrenceburg as a benchmark or pilot program for them.
Lynch praised the EMS teams in the county. Randall said that having a
commissioner come out and sit with each of them was a first and that helped
move things along. We do need to look at as a county- what are we funding on
these groups and what others make. The $20,000 per unit has been in place for
about 10 years now, she said.
Randall went in: As
you know there are changes in the chamber, DCEDI, and redevelopment. We
contracted with them for Rozow and Kunkel. They are no longer there. We will
restructure this thru the auditor’s office and move this money over here. Still
checking with state board of accounts on this and will have to get Andy
Baudendistel do some sort of a HOME RULE on this.
AUDITOR: Gayle
Pennington- claims approved.
Per state statute the
treasurer must have a tax sale each year. SRI does the tax sale and revised
(for new legislation time limits on the advertising for this) work plan
agreement was signed by commissioners for this purpose. Tax sale will be Sept
13th. Treasurer will work with people to set up payment plans in
advance of this sale. Baudendistel reviewed the agreement at the meeting. Phil
Weaver had not sent it to him in advance. Commissioners signed the agreement.
It’s $75/parcel for anyone not in a payment plan on the certified list.
Pennington sent 2 sets of minutes and commissioners approved
May 7th and June 18th minutes.
ATTORNEY: Andy
Baudendistel- trying to acquire ROW for Stateline project. Listerman told him
they have the last one on the condemnation suit settled without going to court
appointed appraisers. Amicably settled.
COMMISSIONER COMMENTS- Lawrenceburg and Bright ad in local paper on
fireworks was commended by Kevin Lynch.
Little thanked Lynch
and Randall for all the time they spent visiting EMS groups. Take a moment to
think about the July 4th celebration of the nation’s birthday.
McHenry reiterated
the EMS thanks and also said they got a nice thank you letter from the 4H youth
who received all the fencing from Animal Shelter. It is being put to good use.
