OLD BUSINESS- none
NEW BUSINESS
Annex Update - Maxwell Construction - Chris Grabosky- Columns completely done by end of next week. Final punch list aper that. Parking lot scheduled for Sat if it doesn’t rain. Back rails and front rails by end of this month. Being powder coated in Indy currently. Appreciate everyone working thru this frustrating end of the project. Trying to hand sand the columns to get the markings off them. Trying to get a product to patch and a stain or coating to be compatible with that. Caulking and sealing to be done on those caps by next week.
Grant Application Approval- Life time Resources- Dana Hildebrand- Guardianship program for about 20 years- and it was supported by Judge Humphrey. No match needed form county. Have 23 people who they are guardians for in Dearborn. Also have less in Ripley and Ohio County. County is just the pass thru for this. Grant forms not available yet and Nov 9th is due date. Will get it to Connie Fromhold as soon as they get it. Commissioners approved the grant request.
911 Director- Jared Teaney:
Spillman- Ohio County Coming on as Shared Agency for the Spillman server. They have an agreement for this - same as with Aurora and Greendale. Ohio County 911, Rising Sun and Ohio County police coming on the shared server. Commissioners approved and gave permission for sheriff to sign it. Advantage is to share data and we share a judge and prosecutor’s office also already. No additional cost to the county. Ohio County is on the hook for any connection fees for the server.
911 Board Member Nomination- Jason Eckoff- resigned and has another job elsewhere. Nominated Kevin Redelman runs on St Leon and Bright EMS. Approved.
NG911 Federal Grant Letter of Intent- This is a 60/40 grant match for the county. Updating some GIS data will be something they can use this for. $1.9 million available for the country. The 911 funds will cover the 40%. This is just an intent to apply. They will come back after they decide what they will apply for. This would help with locating 911 runs. Approved.
Installed 2 new workstations in 911 from previous grant. Maintenance waxed their floors.
Dearborn County Regional Sewer District- Steve Renihan, President:
Texas Gas Road Project- Request to Approach Council- County fund 4917 to cover this to extend sewer to Texas Gas Road. They have 2 estimates. One to get it out Texas Gas and help 49 homes. Going out half the distance and do 18 homes. It would be better to do it all at one time. It allows the sewer board to get into the black along with the operations of their sewer plant. This will cover day to day bills and operating cost of sewer plant. Total cost estimate $496,803.45 plus. Grinder pumps at $5000. Some will pay it at once - some will do it over 5 years. Fund 4917 has $1,156,364.06 in it. They will send letters out to people. 12-14 people have expressed interest at their sewer board meeting. Mike Hrezo- said the 49 homes are depicted in red and have direct access to the sewer line. Some are sitting off the road pretty far and they could get another septic or they could sign on. Commissioners gave permission to approach Council for this project. 49 cost $10K er property and if only 18 it would be $16K each.
Guilford Update- to of interest in this. Uptick of interest from residents at their meeting. Looking at how to get grants to get put there. They need an updated study of this. They need to update a 2015 study. There is only a 2 year time frame to get that federal money for the county. They need an interlock agreement with SDRSD thru Greendale or Lawrenceburg. They have one with Lawrenceburg for Wilson Creek Road - worked on for 2 years and now almost done. LMU didn’t want to do another till they saw how this worked out with Wilson Creek. For Guilford to get fed money they need to fix the problem in the most cost efficient manner. And maybe add a little more capacity- nothing like a big gravity fed sewer. Force main to L-bg or Greendale or a treatment plant right there. (Due to the flood plain area there, going thru lines already in existence with Lawrenceburg at Perfect North Slopes may be most efficient process)
Grant Application Approval- Superior Court II- Approved.
Resolution Establishing Employee Contribution and Copay Rates for Health Insurance- Baudendistel read the resolution- to address the rising costs of health benefits. For 2019- $35/mo for single for $100 for family.

They also increased other copays for ER visits etc. Open enrollment in October 2018. Rates effective 2019. Commissioners approved and signed the resolution.
