Teresa Randall- no jail project update with Maxwell as she was off last week.
The precast concrete is going up. The courthouse RFP went out for the architect
for Jan 9-10 to start prescreening those architects.
Wade Kimmon is here and the auditor as well- they have
looked at the EMS groups looking at NE county and W county groups. They really
came to the table and they needed to see where all the runs are coming from. They
will decide what to do with the Harrison EMS agreement. They do not want to
enter into a multi year contract- just a one year one and they will discuss
that number. She wants to put a small team together with 911 etc to extract
data to get where runs have been going.

COMMISSIONER COMMENTS-
McHenry said to Keep Little in our thoughts and prayers as he is experiencing
some health issues. Hope to see him at next meeting.
Lynch brought up fire
dept access for Ohio on our radio channels. Hamilton Co does let us have access
to theirs. He asked Bill Black and Chief Johnny Tremain in L-bg to research
this to approach the state about getting this communication issue fixed. Black
said the state does not want to give IDs out of the state and each radio needs
an ID. They could go to a different channel in every radio NIPSPAC can be used.
Black says that just means they have to carry another radio. Lynch has talked
to Randy Frye about this too. McHenry said this seems like government getting
in the way.
