AUDITOR: - Leah
Bailey presented the claims. Approved.
There were no minutes to approve.
ATTORNEY: Andy
Baudendistel- talked about the small claims forms filled out by Hensley for him
for the PTABOA hearing no shows that have a $50 fine. They will end up with
$140 in court costs too and maybe requesting attorney fees. Because the statute
says SHALL- they have to charge this. The petitioner signs a form acknowledging
that they will be fined if they fail to show per Hensley. He said that he needs
an attorney. They had 12 last year and all 12 paid their fine. There are 4
unpaid this year. Hensley doesn’t like having to do this. Spending more money
than the fine to get it paid. Commissioners agreed to allow Baudendistel to
represent Hensley on these claims.
The last thing on Old Orchard is 2 easements for access to
do maintenance to retention areas between lots 72-73 and 65-66. Tucker signed
these and there is also one thing remaining to complete on Seldom Seen
Subdivision. The easements were approved. Tucker is to give $10,000 for the
county to fix some roads in Seldom Seen.
COMMISSIONER COMMENTS-
Lynch- this was a very emotional meeting- Lauren Hill is very
inspirational. He also wanted to recognize two women’ soccer teams and also
both Terri Randall and Celeste Calvitto as women of Distinction.
Little said no
parent should outlive their kids and he knows that first hand.
McHenry said
Donna Hartman working at Community Corrections also was recognized as a woman
of distinction. He said that Lauren is an amazing young woman and on social
media- she is helping other people in this fight of her life. We can pray for a
miracle, he said.
LATE ARRIVAL
INFORMATION- Bill Black- EMA- wanted to use the grant they got to work on
sirens. It won’t cover it all though. He needs to divide the money into 2
amounts to upgrade radios also. $125 per radio because now $75 extra is needed
