ABSENT: Charlie Keyes, Ryan Brandt

Also present: Connie Fromhold, Auditor

TITLE VI STATEMENT FOR COMPLIANCE- was read by Liz Morris

SUPERIOR COURT II – Judge Sally McLaughlin presented by Connie Fromhold

Grant Signature- annual $500-1000. No match. Approved. 

SIRPC – Patty Jackson 

Housing Preservation Grant- USDA Rural Development for matching dollars was received. $70,268. This is 2-3 times the usual amount. It needs to benefit all of Dearborn County. The Council approved using it throughout the county.

LIFE TIME RESOURCES – Sally/Dana presented for guardianship dept. $75,000 with Dearborn Ohio and Ripley with us being the main. Guardianship for seniors. Lifetime Resources providing the match. Approve dot sign the grant.

DEARBORN COUNTY COUNCIL – Liz Morris

Financial advice- Professional services for Umbaugh and Associates for research and analysis for the LOIT ( local income tax increase)- $5,892.02 approved.

DC REGIONAL SEWER DISTRICT – Steve Renihan

High Ridge West expansion, US 50- Renihan presented with Doug Baer from public Health Dept - wants funding for Texas Gas and Sharon Dr. problem area. Baer presented the severity of the problem. Majority of homes built in the 60s before the health dept. had septic permits. Enforcement cases are ongoing. Sewer arrangements are a cost effective solution for these residents. Renihan said the sewer plant in High Ridge needs more customers to cover its operating expenses. This is the most densely populated area close to the plant with problems. the is the only project we have that we can serve ourselves- about 49 customers. Other areas will be partnered with municipalities and so they will not bring income into the DCRC fund. This will cost just about $500,000. Need at least 30 customers to meet operating expenses there.They have never compelled anyone to hook on. At least 70% usually sign on in their experience. Realtors are all asking home sellers about selling. Average bill is about $35/mo. They will work out payment arrangements. Some get home equity loans. Some do a 6% interest rate and monthly payments to DCRC. $5000 for grinder, pipe to road, and destroying the septic system. Average new septic system costs $15,000 -20,000. So signing on to sewer is cost effective from the construction standpoint. Some of the homes are older than records in health dept and they do not meet the codes currently. Plant operator costs about $14,000/year. This operator also operates the Milan plant. Once they do this project they will be about at capacity. They can double the plant if needed- and if development comes the development can pay for the expansion. Council approved the money out of Fund 4917. Goodman thought this was a good idea and it helps put DCRC in the black.  

PARK BOARD – Jim Red Elk- long list of items $133,000 in the account. Will get $33,000 in 2019. Asking for is about $47,000. Liz Morris asked him to try to use County Farm Fund 4925 from logging etc. first before capital account. 

Bright Meadows Improvements- building repairs ad split rail fence- $13,000

County Farm Improvements (shooting range)-$2,000

Gladys Russell Improvements-Improvements-Poor system, -powder post beetle infestation in barn, and painting and repairs- $16,750

Guilford Covered Bridge Improvements- pedestrian bridge- $2,000

Rullman Park Improvements- electrical service-  $8,000

Kraus said they want to get these things covered at budget time, not really emergencies. Council approved the above expenditures out of park funds. Applied for $25,000 grant for a Kubota and got $20,000 from DCFoundation and will get the additional $5,000 from another source. Approved the above requests.   

COMMISSIONERS – Sue Hayden- presented by Connie Fromhold

Goodman wanted to spend the money more on work force training.

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.

2020 - $212/month ad $595/mo for family.If employee takes part in well living program rates stay they same as in 2019. Last rate raise was in 2007.
