8 August 2013 Dearborn County Redevelopment Commission Meeting Notes

The Dearborn County Redevelopment Commission met August 8^th at 5 PM following a one hour executive session. No decisions were announced following the executive session.

Register Publications also covered this meeting.

Members present were: John Rahe, Chairman, Dave Deddins, and Jim Helms.

ABSENT: Kevin Lynch who was in INDY with a friend who had lost his 23 year old daughter in a car accident and Jim Deaton, who was on vacation, per Randall.

Andrea Ewan, Attorney, Terri Randall, Administrator, and Sue Hayden, took minutes.

Maynard Barrett, Councilman, was also in attendance.

 

Minutes were approved for July with the correction that Wade Kimmon was in attendance.

New Business:

Terri Randall stated that the budget for 2014 was submitted to Council for $100,000 instead of the $75,000 from previous years. CVTB ( Visitor’s Bureau) pays $50,000 and the Council pays $25,000. She is asking Council for additional $25,000 to match CVTBs $50,000. The Redevelopment Commission approved the budget request.

Terri Randall received approval to pay the following invoices:

1.       Lonnie Steele- $400 per month ($800 so far) for mowing in the West Harrison TIF. She researched this price and found out it was reasonable.

2.       Sue Hayden- $80 for 5 hours of staying late to do minutes at $16/hour. She is paid higher that her salary rate as she is a private contractor for this and gets a 1099.

3.       Bayer Becker Engineering- $385

4.       Terri Randall- $63.71 reimbursement for taking broker to lunch in preparation for the grant project.

**They did NOT pay the IN OH Railway as Bayer Becker advised them not to yet- further research on that bill for $630.

Terri Randall reported that they need to contract with DCEDI because they are a separate entity now. DCEDI asked for an updated agreement and payment of $17,000 to finish 2013. She was approved to work on that agreement/contract.

The flood plain proposal by a company for a study in the West Harrison Corridor for $8600 was discussed. Terri Randall will meet with Planning dept and others in the county to see if we don’t already have much of that information already. If they go ahead they will get at least 3 quotes. This is needed for land purchases in that TIF area.

Terri Randall reported that the report for County Council was submitted on time on August 1 and will go to DLGF ( State Board of  Accounts) by Oct 1. It lists the TIFs, parcels, and balances of their TIF accounts.

Meeting adjourned at 5:15 PM

6 August 2013 Dearborn County Commissioners Meeting Notes

6 August 2013 Dearborn County Commissioners Meeting Notes

Present: Shane McHenry, President, Art Little, and Kevin Lynch

Also present:, Teresa Randall, County Administrator, and Andy Baudendistel, Attorney.

ABSENT: Gayle Pennington, Auditor. Connie Fromhold covered for the Auditor, Gayle Pennington

OLD BUSINESS:

Township advisory Board vacancy Washington Township- tabled repeatedly. Tabled again.

Support Letter for St. Leon- Mark McCormack, Planning Director- asking for a letter required by Lawrenceburg for their land acquisition of about 50 acres and another of 160 acres for economic development. Randall said she might touch base with St Leon about the new policies and rules with Lawrenceburg for their 10 county grants. Lawrenceburg is talking about a maximum of $1million for each county. She thinks that this information and the rest she knows would help increase the likelihood of them getting a grant. Jim Kinnett – the consultant hired by St. Leon- prepared the application so far.  [NOTE: Wouldn’t Kinnett know the Lawrenceburg rules? He worked for DCEDI.] Kinnett has talked with some of the people in Lawrenceburg per McCormack. They are asking for a large amount of money. They may have to pare it back. They want to apply for the whole thing first and see what happens. [NOTE: Lawrenceburg needs to see the whole scope. If they only fund part- then St Leon needs to know whether or not future money will be likely.] Both McHenry and Lynch were supportive and McHenry said that it is up to St. Leon to get this in the proper form for application. But he was supportive of it either way. Randall didn’t want to get sideways of anyone in Lawrenceburg by just approving anything. She wanted them to be aware of the changes going on in Lawrenceburg and also was meeting with Grant Hughes anyway so she could talk to him. Commissioners approved sending a letter pending Randall’s research.

 

NEW BUSINESS:

Permission to seek bids for annual cyclical review- Gary Hensley, Assessor said  this goes on at a rate of 25% across 4 years. Having the data as current as possible should make it easier for the consultant to hit the ground running.  Contract will be reviewed by DLGF in addition to the commissioners and county attorney. Baudendistel has reviewed the contract. He is asking approval to seek the bids. Commissioners approved allowing assessor to seek these bids.

Jack’s Forever 3 Walk/Run- Approved with the stipulation that they notify homeowners of road closures on a Sat morning run in September. They will also notify the other depts. such as fire/ems/sheriff etc.

GIS Usage agreement- Wade Kimmon- They used another county’s usage agreement as a backbone. This was to protect the county from solicitation, and other liabilities. Access can be denied to groups based on their intended use of our GIS data. Commissioners approved this agreement letter that has been reviewed by Baudendistel. Commissioners welcomed Wade and said this letter proved he was hitting the ground running.

Building Dept/Planning and Zoning/GIS- Permitting Software Purchase- Bill Shelton said they had reviewed and seen this software running. They wanted to get approval to go to Council to raise fees to keep this running. Ongoing maintenance costs $6500 plus. It would only be about $5 fee increase. If the money is set aside to cover the service it perpetuates the service, per McCormack. Permits can be done from home even. As they build their work flows it can be used in other departments. It can be used for complaints for example. Listerman supports it too. It saves driving and time as well for the citizen using it. It is all tied together and it is a better tracking system. Our fees are moderate compared to others around us. There is a lot of disconnect in the system right now- this would help unify things. Baudendistel suggested getting the auditor’s office to check with the county who uses this system to see about setting up a separate fund for this. Commissioners support this process and approved them going forward to raise fees to get the necessary funding for the permitting software. They will send the fee schedule to Commissioners and them if approved specifically they will take it to Council. They will also see Pennington to get public notice out on the fee schedule.

Randlall said that McCormack has been instrumental in helping them get fees for and wrote the text for RFQ on the county website. Wade Kimmon will be  a big help in seeing how to use IS for economic development etc. The commissioners thanked them for their extra service.

Coroner- Steve Callahan- approval to go to Council for another cot for their vehicle. The one they have is only rated for 250 lbs. One of his deputies presented the information. One is expensive from Striker which is electronic. This eliminates lifting from the couch position which is the lowest position they load from. He cited issues with lifting injuries also. Only 2 cot manufacturers and the other one doesn’t have the lifting abilities needed. Mortuary cots are like lawn chairs and no liability for the decedent if dropped as if when a live patient is on it. Truck is already set up for the wiring on these. [NOTE: Coroner deals with only deceased people.] Commissioners allowed  coroner to go to council to seek $32,765 for a Striker Self loading cot.

HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT: Todd Listerman, Highway Engineer:

Change order- Bridge #34- for over and under runs in the contract and an additional field entrance for one resident- $1341.95 for total cost $483,536.15 for ShortRidge bridge. Approved.

Award Contract for Lake Tambo Bridge #41- 3 bidders $383134.18 McAllister, 389460.55 O’Mara, and 283,287.25 Rohe. Rohe was approved as lowest bidder and will proceed right away.

Tim Grieve, Highway Superintendent:

Truck Quotes for the 3 pickup trucks that council approved seeking. He tried to get them appales to apples but some are red delicious and some are yellow delicious. The differences are in heated rear glass etc. Haag  $27,712 each.  Herlinger Chevy  $28489.85.  Lawrenceburg Chevy  $28986.78. Wyler  $36,000. Lawrenceburg Chevy was actually late at submitting quote. Commissioners approved the low quoter – Haag Ford.

Request to talk to hiring committee to replace some of staff that they lost. It is not asking for extra help- it is in the budget. Employees that left either quit, fired, and one promoted to Listerman’s staff. And two more before that. Commissioners approved Grieve to go to hiring committee with his request.

ADMINISTRATOR: Teresa Randall- Lynch and she had final meeting with Dillsboro EMS. She has their contract  for $40,000 for 2 units. Approved.

60 parking spaces blacktopped in the Votaw Shumway site. Will be landscaped soon. The commissioners may want to designate this space for a certain use. She also said there are issues with Health Dept visitors in the lot behind the adm building also. They are trying to get employees to free up these spaces as well as the lot in front of the adm building. Eric Hartman and she will come to them before the next meeting on how to manage this. The lot in front of the jail should be open in the next two weeks.  They will still lose 4 spots there. The goal is to make it convenient for everybody. McHenry wants to be there when she and Eric meet and also include Pennington’s input.

Brad Ruhlman from Maxwell Construction on the jail progress. They are on schedule and on budget. They had sewer connection issues, etc.  They are doing the geo piers and helico piers. They are pouring curbs for front lot and starting on foundations next. They are going to get share CSX lot for some vehicles. They installed a conduit from existing jail to EMA building. Perfect time now that the ground is torn up. Indicom ran fiber over there to get rid of Centurylink’s monthly fee. Total cost was about $8,000 for the complete setup. The Centurylink fee was $600 per month. The conduit access was $2000 plus. Payback is a little over a year. Gravel and drainage is being worked out in the lots too. Baudendistel asked for lien waivers to be reviewed and the first payment application is working its way through. This protects the payment o suppliers and vendors.

Another vehicle auction is coming up soon.

AUDITOR: Connie Fromhold presented for Pennington. July 16^th minutes signed and approved. Claims approved.

ATTORNEY: Andy Baudendistel:

Redevelopment Commission Fund Ordinance- Auditor’s office needs these monies separated into their own fund. They were managed by the Lovell Group and Aug 1^st the county is now handling them. He cited that they can assume any power that is not expressly denied by statute. Baudendistel read the ordinance and Commissioners approved it with Lynch abstaining as he is on the redevelopment Commission.

Drug Free Workplace Ordinance- tabled

COMMISSIONER COMMENTS – Lynch wished Randall happy Birthday on Friday. And also Sue Hayden who had a birthday yesterday.

Baudendistel will be absent at next meeting due to pending birth of his next child.

16 July 2013 Dearborn County Commissioners Meeting Notes

Present:  Shane McHenry, President, Art Little, and Kevin Lynch

Also present: Gayle Pennington, Auditor, Teresa Randall, County Administrator, and Andy Baudendistel, Attorney.

OLD BUSINESS:

1.        Teresa Randall proposed the Commissioners assign Amy Kosee (sp) as the Region 9 Workforce Board Representative, who comes recommended by the Chamber of Commerce, and is a HR Director for a company in Aurora.  Ms. Kosee has asked to be considered for this position, and there has been no one else interested.  Kevin Lynch motioned that Amy Kosee be appointed the Region 9 Workforce Board Representative, Art Little seconded, all ayes.

 

2.       Township Advisory Board Vacancy – Washington (tabled).

 

3.       Marlene Underwood gave the Animal Control Report update and report of calls from January through June.  They have been open during the summer months until 6 pm, due to more incidents of dog bites in the summer.  Shane McHenry said they should continue staying open during the summer until six, and asked if they are working on getting a kennel  available  when Animal Control is not open, so officers can have a place to put non-dangerous dogs until their facility is open.  Ms. Underwood replied they are trying to find a solution, and will follow-up with email informing the Commissioners if any progress is being made.

 

4.       Teresa Randall represented Brad Rullman, Maxwell’s Construction Manager, regarding Jail Bid #8.  Ms. Randall said the contractor went to bid the second time, and the low bid was Jail Correctional Projects from Ohio, in the amount of $869,000, which is significantly lower.  We have done due duty and the financials of the company checked out and we are ready to go.  The standard forms were ready for signatures.  Andy Baudendistel said he sat in on the meeting and reviewed the documents and there are no issues.  Kevin Lynch made a motion to accept Jail Bid #8, Art Little seconded, all ayes.  All three Commissioners had to sign all three documents.

NEW BUSINESS:

1.       Craig Beckley asked the Commissioners to sign documents for a Federal grant for Heart House.  Also, he wanted to thank them for contacting the State Board to get a third member on his advisory board.  Mr. Beckley gave an update of their successes with helping people who need to get back on their feet.  The Federal grant of $31,000, pays 2/3 of their utilities.  Heart House is the largest shelter outside of Indianapolis.  83% of the people they help are employable and get a job.  Heart House is not just a warm bed and hot meal place, they have a measurable success rate.  Art Little motioned to approve signing the Federal grant, Kevin Lynch seconded, all ayes. The Commissioners congratulated Mr. Beckley for his work.

 

2.       The Commissioners were requested to sign the YES Home Owner Certification.  Kathy Kelly, of the SE Planning Commission asked them to approve and sign the annual CDG Housing grant.  There are no issues, this is standard process, and the last time this report is necessary.  Shane McHenry had to sign and the document had to be notarized. McHenry checked with Andy Braudendistel , and he concurred.  Kevin Lynch motioned to sign the certification, Art Little seconded, all ayes.

 

 

3.       There was no issue with the OKI Agreement for $16,444, and the Commissioners could sign  according to Andy Baudendistel .  There were two copies of the agreement and an operating budget, for the same amount of funding.  Ms. Randall said the amount was a little lower.   Kevin Lynch said he believes we are building good relationships with OKI.  Shane McHenry was told everything was okay with the agreement.  Art Little made a motion to approve $16,444 for the OKI Agreement, Shane McHenry seconded, all ayes.

 

4.       Todd Listerman, County Engineer asked for the Commissioners signatures on the new INDOT form for LPA Federal Aid Verification of Schedule.  Mr. Listerman explained these forms are for project verification for the slide correction on Stateline Road, and also for Collier Ridge.  Kevin Lynch motioned to approve the schedule adjustment for Collier Ridge and to approve adjustment for Stateline Road, Art Little seconded, all ayes.

 

Shane McHenry said he has received calls regarding some road issues in the County.  One is in the Pinhook area.  The road is starting to slip away, and the Post Office said they will no longer deliver the mail.  Todd Listerman said he will go up and take care of it.  McHenry asked Todd to send him an email to let him know it is ok.  Also, R#1 Sawdon Ridge—the problem is solved, but a citizen called about Ridge Road to say there is speeding there now and other issues.  Todd said he will call the Sheriff for patrols out there.

 

5.       Request letter of support for St. Leon (tabled).

 

6.       Mark McCormack and members of the Planning Commission Board, who were in attendance, were there to discuss Zoning Ordinances and the Zoning Map, which was on display.  Mark said since 2009, there have been many meetings with the Zoning Commission, the Planning Commission, the Board of Zoning Appeals, and an Advisory Committee made up of citizens with associated interests.  The changes were presented to the Commissioners, and were in text and pictures.  An overview was given of executive summary of Articles 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, and 22.  The changes demonstrate what will work better for our community in business districts-- Industrial/manufacturing, agriculture and residential areas, landscaping options, etc.  Mr. McCormack wanted to know if the Commissioners thought  these changes were generally acceptable because we are supposed to update the text and maps every five years.  The question is doing just the text at first, or maps, or both?

 

Shane McHenry said the presentation was user friendly, and he did not want to slow down the process—it looked fairly reasonable, some things he took issue with, but nothing to hold up the process.  Kevin Lynch suggested they go to business areas and get their side, share with Economic Development people.

 

Mark said there are places that are zoned for business where it is not going to happen because the area is in a flood plain, and he mentioned other areas that are not zoned correctly which need to be corrected.  Mark said changes to the map and changes to the text –what process? Kevin Lynch said to reach out to town boards, St. Leon, Dillsboro, the more people included you get a better  and workable product.  Mark explained that all the towns are on the Advisory Committee.

 

Andy Baudendistel said since we do not have a 90 day window, get the text, and then work on the current map. Mark McCormack asked the Commissioners if they wanted to talk to any of the Plan Commission Board in attendance. 

 

Mike Hall said the end product is to change the climate for land use, and provide the tools to facilitate, protecting the land owner, without scaring everyone to death, we don’t want to go there again.  Shane McHenry said that is not easy stuff to get through.  Mike Hall said we have good participation with the community.

 

Mark McCormack said we have not made it more difficult, used more scientific methods and have better defined sections.  We will regroup and get something back to you in a timely fashion.

 

Shane McHenry asked Mark McCormack to find out if there is an adequate waterline to the Indian Ridge area.   Mark said there is a requirement for hydrants, provided by the water provider, and he will check into it.  Also, Shane asked about unsightly properties, and ordinances referring to them.  Mark said we have the ability to take care of it.  Also, on Jacobs and Feller Roads, there are issues with four-wheelers and private recreational areas.  Mark said he would contact the Sheriff.

 

Mark McCormack said he and Andy Baudendistel will have a GIS coordinator usage agreement to submit at the next meeting.

Administrator – Teresa Randall – no report.

Auditor – Gayle Pennington -  There were AP claims for the Commissioners approval.  Kevin Lynch motioned for approval, Art Little seconded, all ayes.  Payroll was submitted electronically.  Meeting minutes from July 2, 2013, misplaced minutes of 5/21, 2013, and Minutes from June 4, 2013, were motioned to be approved by Kevin Lynch and seconded by Art Little, all ayes.

 Attorney – Andy Baudendistel said they were going to have a meeting at 9:30 am Monday, for an August 20^th GIS  Usage agreement.    There are no issues, just to protect a living document usage agreement which protects the county.

Commissioners comments:  Kevin  Lynch said Luke Messer, our representative,  has made another visit to our area.  He was at the Children’s Advocacy Center in Dillsboro last week, so we are getting some attention.

Meeting adjourned at approximately 6:50 pm.

2 July 2013 Dearborn County Commissioners Meeting Notes

Present: Shane McHenry, President, Art Little, and Kevin Lynch

Also present: Gayle Pennington, Auditor, Teresa Randall, County Administrator, and Andy Baudendistel, Attorney.

OLD BUSINESS:

Region 9 Workforce Board Representative- tabled again

Township Advisory Board Vacancies for Washington and Jackson Townships- Per McHenry, Lynn Deddins said she wanted to serve so she was named to Jackson township Advisory Board by Commissioners.. Tabled the Washington township one to get all the names in.

Maximus Consultant Contract- Baudendistel read the letter detailing why the contract needs to be for one year but covers 24 months due to the receipt of county data being delayed. $5,300 is the fee. Approved.

Animal Control Report- Marlene Underwood- was not present so they sent her a text to see if she is delayed. She is unavailable today- TABLED.

NEW BUSINESS:

Jail Bids #3 and #8-Maxwell- Brad Rullman- Core Slab Structures of Indianapolis for bid #3 was interviewed and contract. Bids came back with same number, $963,000. Approved.

Bid #8 detention equipment came in slightly lower but interviews are not done- so he will bring that in next meeting.

Alt & Witzig Engineering contract was presented for signature. ATC contacted Terri Randall and Kevin Lynch said they contacted him also with concerns as they were the low bidder. They have a storefront here in town an consider themselves local. $47,400 is the Alt & Witzig bid which was the one accepted by commissioners. $60 was the difference in the bids.

Baudendistel has an agreement with Lawrenceburg Redevelopment property on Maple Street and William Street for parking during jail construction. Approved. The Redevelopment Commission of Lawrenceburg meets tomorrow and they will sign it then also.

The sewer connection is being dug in now for the jail. Rullman noted that Lawrenceburg did not forgive the sewer tap connection.

Planning and Zoning- Mark McCormack- Proposed Changes to the Subdivision Control Ordinance:

Staff has been working to articulate survey requirements as required by state law, Indiana Rule 12, and some more specific ones that auditor’s and surveyor’s offices want on their plats. All 6 members present at PC favorably recommended these. Some retracements for consolidation are exempt from this. Now we are requiring retracements to go through Planning and Zoning to be sure all requirements are met. This was advertised. Public hearing was held and no public commented.

Article 2 Section 200- Subdivision Types – was approved by commissioners.

Article 2 Section 262 Retracement Survey Requirements- was approved by commissioners.

Plan Commission will be back at the July 16 meeting to explain where master plan is.

EMA-Bill Black Jr.- Signatures for Emergency Management Performance Grant- This for 2012 money and he has certificates and transcripts for the training exercises of the three people on staff. Approved and signed. It’s for $39,000/year and covers part of salaries of the staff.

Black said that Rullman has taken care of any EMA issues during jail construction.

ADMINISTRATOR: Teresa Randall- Shumway/Votaw Update- Parking lot- we are ready to execute the contract  for $141,933 for 61 spaces with Dave O’Mara. The work should be substantially complete in 45 days. Fines $255/day it is over the deadline. Performance bonds etc. were all checked by Hrezo. Commissioners approved and signed the agreement with O’Mara. Three copies signed. Hrezo said they will do layout this week and more concrete breakout and fill next week.

Low key ground breaking ceremony on the jail project is tomorrow.

Per Listerman Randall said North Dearborn Road project finished and is opening  up.

EMS Alliance meeting on Saturday with Kevin Lynch and Randall went well. There were a couple departments who were not at the meeting which concerned Lynch ( and he never stated who was missing)- but they were very encouraged by the ones present who are working together. Progress is being made. They should have a recommendation for commissioners in the next 30 days. It always comes down to the money. The EMS groups are using Lawrenceburg as a benchmark or pilot program for them. Lynch praised the EMS teams in the county. Randall said that having a commissioner come out and sit with each of them was a first and that helped move things along. We do need to look at as a county- what are we funding on these groups and what others make. The $20,000 per unit has been in place for about 10 years now, she said.

Randall went in: As you know there are changes in the chamber, DCEDI, and redevelopment. We contracted with them for Rozow and Kunkel. They are no longer there. We will restructure this thru the auditor’s office and move this money over here. Still checking with state board of accounts on this and will have to get Andy Baudendistel do some sort of a HOME RULE on this.

AUDITOR: Gayle Pennington- claims approved.

Per state statute the treasurer must have a tax sale each year. SRI does the tax sale and revised (for new legislation time limits on the advertising for this) work plan agreement was signed by commissioners for this purpose. Tax sale will be Sept 13^th. Treasurer will work with people to set up payment plans in advance of this sale. Baudendistel reviewed the agreement at the meeting. Phil Weaver had not sent it to him in advance. Commissioners signed the agreement. It’s $75/parcel for anyone not in a payment plan on the certified list.

Pennington sent 2 sets of minutes and commissioners approved May 7^th and June 18^th minutes.

ATTORNEY: Andy Baudendistel- trying to acquire ROW for Stateline project. Listerman told him they have the last one on the condemnation suit settled without going to court appointed appraisers. Amicably settled.

COMMISSIONER COMMENTS-  Lawrenceburg and Bright ad in local paper on fireworks was commended by Kevin Lynch.

Little thanked Lynch and Randall for all the time they spent visiting EMS groups. Take a moment to think about the July 4^th celebration of the nation’s birthday.

McHenry reiterated the EMS thanks and also said they got a nice thank you letter from the 4H youth who received all the fencing from Animal Shelter. It is being put to good use.
