Grant Application Approval Request Heath Dept- Mary Calhoun- Health Dept Leader- annual that they have had since mid 1980’s. Part time help, supplies, mileage, meeting expenses, some maintenance, etc. Approved to move forward with the grant.

Highway Engineer- Todd Listerman:

Consulting Contract for Bridge Inspections- These have to be done every two years and some have to be every 12 months. United Consulting has done it the past 12 years and now American StructurePoint has been selected. They were the inspectors prior to United Consulting. This contract is April  1 2019 to March 31 2023. Contract is for $ 248,162.08. It is 80/20 cost to county. Approved. 

Agreement for Inspection of Bridge 95 (Triple Whipple Pedestrian) - This is on old SR 56. It is presently a pedestrian bridge. INDOT does not allow federal highway funds for inspecting pedestrian bridges any more. This gets inspected once every 4 years. It is a fracture critical bridge because of the length and construction type. American Structure Point will do this also for $3,634.82. Approved for them to inspect at this price. Major maintenance gets shared with Ohio County under a very old 80/20 agreement. But bridges on borders have different rules. In our case we do east and south bridges. Luckily we have no east bridges on the Ohio state line. This is one of our south bridges. Approved Triple Whipple. 

Community Crossing priority will be: Resurfacing road in Dearborn County and one for Bridge 76 on Jamison Road and Losekamp. Still waiting to see what happens with those to applications .

Lawrenceburg Library Appointment- Gary Gellert expires 9/30/28- Approved to reappointment of Gellert.

COMMISSIONER COMMENTS:

Little-  Labor Day has passed but temp indicates summer is not over.  Have neighbors looked out for if they are older. And Yes I have someone to look after me.
