Article 24 section 2430, Driveway Design- Ordinance to amend Article 24- a lot of this was imported from Boone County and text was cleaned up to make it clearer and allow for certain types of variance requests under certain conditions. No public comment. The commissioners approved the amendments and signed the ordinance to Amend Article 24 of the  Zoning Ordinance. 

McHenry said he was going on record that this was the shortest Planning and Zoning decision ever.

Contract for Construction Inspection for Bridge 24 Cold Springs Road- Commissioners approved contract with Certified Engineering Inc. that Baudendistel had reviewed. It’s a NTE (not to exceed) $125,000 amount. 

Water Rescue- Bill Black Jr.- Vehicle Transfers- Agreement and Ordinance to transfer personal property to water rescue- Ordinance 2017-004 per Baudendistel. Since they were incorporated - they are a separate entity. They had vehicles in water rescue that were titled to Commissioners or EMA. This tarsiers them all to Water Rescue so they can be insured etc by Water Rescue appropriately. Water rescue is a 501c3. There are 12 vehicles and 2 need titles created as the originals were not found. Mostly this cleans things up legally. These  were bought thru different grant processes in the past. McHenry said there were multiple eyes on this to be sure the grant specifications were ok with this. Commissioners approved with no public wanting to comment. Baudendistel also had an agreement for McHenry and Black, Jr. to transfer the vehicles.

There is a memorandum of understanding with EMA and Water Rescue regarding one vehicle for EMA to use also.
