Highway Engineer, Todd Listerman:
HWC Engineering Memorandum of Agreement- This relates to transportation assessment that is part of Community Crossings program. This covers pavements and HWC does this as an unbiased assessment for the county. They evaluate 50% of the roads each year. They will update the pavement management plan for $15,000. This was $30,000 initially. Now they are cheaper as they are re-evaluating. Approved and signed.
USI Consultants On-Call Professional Services for Consulting Engineer- sometimes there are engineering design work for the highway dept. for spot projects. This is a good company out of Indy. They recently hired Doug Graf who will be in an office on Yorkridge Road. This is for on-call work.They will discuss the scope and costs individually on projects. This is useful for washouts and small projects that infrequently occur. Maximum of $25,000 is the limit per code. Approved.
Bridge #76, Jamison Road Construction Inspection Contract- last paperwork for this for Rohe Paving and also the inspection contract itself for FPBH for $32,125. Both approved.
Baudendistel brought this up while Listerman is present- Bentle’s properties are being acquired but they are not in agreement on the appraisal from the county. Richard Butler, their lawyer, said they are getting their own appraisals. So the county is getting their condemnation files in order. They need this by Jan 11. They will proceed with condemnation filed on Jan 11- but they can still negotiate after that. This is for Stateline project. They court will appoint 3 appraisers and they will proceed from there. This is a federal aid project so this is needed. The county got an appraisal and then had a review appraisal of that one.
ADMINISTRATOR – Sue Hayden- thanked for reappointment.
AUDITOR – Connie Fromhold -Claims/Minutes from Dec 18th approved. Probst abstained form the minutes approval as he was not in office then.
ATTORNEY – Andy Baudendistel- thanked for reappointment. Wilker case- the court ordered a receiver be appointed. Stop work order until the receiver is appointed. Each side gets chance to nominate 2 receivers. Shelton will get two to go into the property and get list and costs. Wilker’s attorneys withdrew from the case after the court order and the court approved that. He is currently without representation. Humphrey is the judge on this case. There is a small claims judgment for $6000 for drainage issues. That judgement is almost paid off. No the aliens on property.
COMMISSIONER COMMENTS- Art Little- looking forward to working with them in new year.
Rick Probst- glad to be here-I obviously don’t know what Im doing yet- the more I learn the more I find there is to learn. Pleased with how a complaint on Gutzwiller Rd and he saw how it worked out, even though he was not commissioner then.
