I'm calling to order this meeting of Monroe County Board of Commissioners.
 It is Thursday, May 29th, and I'll note for the record that Commissioner Jones and myself
 are present here in the NatU Hill Room.
 We'll begin with our public statement.
 We the Monroe County Board of Commissioners renew our commitment to welcome and protect
 the rights of all people regardless of age, race, color, creed, disability, sexual orientation,
 gender, gender identity, marital status, economic status, and national origin.
 And we affirm the right of every person to live peacefully and without fear, and we will
 fight and resist at every step discrimination and harmful policies, whatever their source.
 We believe in diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging.
 We also stand in support of our county public school systems, both RBB and MCCSC.
 And with that, we will move on to our department updates will begin with the Health Department.
 Good morning, commissioners. As of May 27th, emergency department visits for COVID-like
 illness have continued to decrease, as well as wastewater concentrations.
 As of May 22nd, there have been a total of 1,046 confirmed measles cases across the United
 States, but there have been no new cases in Indiana as of April 21st.
 Our public health clinic has vaccines available for all ages.
 You can call 812-353-3244 for an appointment.
 Thank you so much. Comments or questions?
 Commissioner Jones? No, I don't.
 I know there's a new COVID variant that's pretty active in other parts of the world
 right now. Is that something we're going to be able
 to track with the new administrations? Or is that something where we're just going
 to be able to track it through wastewater? I think that we still have a lot more information
 to learn on that. There are lots of changes being made and
 even changes to eligibility for the COVID vaccines that will be coming up for this fall.
 But right now we can still do that through our wastewater testing and we'll have more
 information I think at the end of June about upcoming changes.
 Great. Thank you so much. Appreciate that. Thank you.
 All right. I believe we also have emergency management joining us this morning for an
 update. Good morning.
 Good morning. I wanted to start by saying we have completed
 the install of four new outdoor warning sirens at the Seven Oaks Station 25 Monroe Fire Protection
 District, Smithville Ball Diamonds and the Fairgrounds. Those sirens are complete, complete
 install and working as of last week. I did want to give an update on where we
 are with tornado recovery. So we have several means of assistance in place currently.
 If you do not have an open case with the Red Cross, please call 1-800-RED-CROSS to start
 that process. They have some resources available. Definitely
 get that started if you have not touched base with them already and you are affected.
 If you are a veteran status, please get in touch with the County Veterans Affairs.
 If you are in need of furniture, St. Vincent DePaul at 812-961-1510 and press 3.
 I will put all of these numbers in the chat, so don't get bogged down with trying to write
 them down if you are currently trying to. If you are in need of clothing, Salvation
 Army is open and available for that. Hoosier Hills Food Bank is available for
 any food needs. And we are currently still waiting on the
 official word for the Small Business Administration Declaration.
 As I understand it, the packet has been completed and it is waiting for a Governor's signature.
 Now once that occurs, we will have a site established where people can come in and apply
 for SBA loans. Now, I do encourage everybody to come in and at least have the conversation
 with those workers, because it opens the door for different things. The State Disaster Relief
 Fund will have people there as well to talk about those benefits as well. If you don't
 qualify for an SBA loan, you could qualify for those funds.
 And it's a conversation worth having. It is not an obligation. If you apply for the loan,
 you are not obligated. It does not behave like a traditional loan where you apply for
 it and you have to take it. You can say no at any time. But I do encourage everybody
 to at least come and have the conversation. And we will be advertising that a lot on all
 of our platforms and encourage sharing with as many entities as possible. And it will
 be for a week. We do have dumpsters available for debris at the road intersection of Elrin
 and Harmony Road. There are two dumpsters there for house debris and one for tree debris,
 small tree debris. Another one at Jackson Creek Drive and another set at Lighthouse
 Christian Academy. And those are being dumped regularly.
 Great. Thank you. Let's see if there's I just was notified that Commissioner Madeira has
 joined the meeting. Welcome Commissioner Madeira from Europe. Commissioner Jones, do you have
 any questions? No questions. Just thank you very much for all that you all have done to
 try to help out people who were impacted by this? Yeah, it was a big storm. So we've we've
 had questions about the county role and what we should be doing or why aren't we picking
 up tree debris from yards, etc. I don't know if that's something you want to address regarding
 FEMA, regarding the state, etc. So the FEMA piece, this did not meet any thresholds for
 FEMA. So while Monroe County was greatly impacted, we were the only one that received this much
 of an impact. While Greene County did have impacts, it was not as impacted as Monroe
 County. Brown County was also impacted not as much as we were. Same with Bartholomew
 County. Whenever you in the expectation that we are going to see a reaction from FEMA,
 it has to be large and widespread beyond one county. Great. So the need was not at the
 threshold to bring in FEMA. Right, right. Thank you. And their their threshold has increased
 as well of uninsured losses. And is so one of the issues that has come up from residents
 is, you know, oh, I need help getting trees off my property. That's a property owner responsibility.
 Correct. Correct. I don't know, Ms. Ridge, if you want to chime in on the tree issue
 related to county roadways. So, yeah, we we've been monitoring the roads, say, ice and road.
 We've kind of stayed out of the way. But while utilities were trying to get power telephone
 service back in place, we are out there today just to make sure that there's nothing within
 the roadway. And that is our responsibility to make sure that the roadway is safe for
 the traveling motorist. We don't enter onto properties, private property to remove to remove
 the debris. I know a lot of people are putting debris in subdivisions out into the roadway.
 It would be our responsibility. We won't be hauling it off. That's an expense to the county.
 We would be putting it back onto the property out of the roadway. So we just encourage the
 public not to put their debris, their pieces of their we've seen furniture and housing
 and everything put into the roadway. Again, our responsibility is to maintain the roadway
 for the traveling motorist. And thank you, Ms. pretty. Did you have anything you wanted
 to add based on this conversation? I think so. I think that it's difficult for our community
 when we when they experience this kind of loss, devastation. And there is this hope,
 I think that county government can provide an assistance that that's not under our county
 government's umbrella. And ideally, when he was talking about when Jamie was talking about
 FEMA, that would be what would normally assist homeowners with this kind of devastation.
 But the the requirement, the cost requirement that is involved with for FEMA to come into
 play is so high that this county has not made that level. So it is it is it's a difficult
 time for our community and for our members. And it'd be nice if we could see some maybe
 of our local people who like to have a skid steer and play with it and chainsaws if we
 could work out something to get our own little team go and just go out there and help some
 people. But that's just that's just me. Yeah. Yeah. Did you have something? Yeah, I think
 that's a really good. That's a good point you brought up because in the winter we keep
 a list of private contractors for snow removal for property owners. So it would be great
 if we, you know, were able to put together a contractor list that we could provide to
 the public. And maybe we can work with emergency management management on that. So that way
 we can at least provide names and people that have equipment that are capable to help the
 property owners in these types of situations. So that's yeah, I'm glad you mentioned that.
 Yeah. But actually, us actually organizing it is beyond anything that that is a normal
 scope of our operations, unfortunately. And there is an opportunity through the volunteer
 network at the city of Bloomington to sign up to assist property owners who request assistance
 through emergency management. So there are opportunities to help. And of course, there
 are a lot of it was a frightening, a frightening storm. We made it out without any fatalities,
 thank goodness. And there were some injuries, but it is difficult if you're facing this
 kind of loss to your home or your business. But there are a lot of folks who have stepped
 up to help. For example, donating to pals, which was hit particularly hard. The food
 bank always needs assistance, but you can help by helping those organizations as well
 if you can actually physically go out to help. So there's a lot that can be done. And I've
 seen a lot of great things that neighbors are doing to help neighbors. And it's really
 inspiring. This is a wonderful community. And we've really all come together in the
 way that I knew we would, and it's heartwarming. So a big thank you to everyone who's helped
 out big or small after this storm. It's been a real test. I'm sure there are more to come.
 Commissioner Madera has joined us. Do you have any questions for Ms. Nibel?
 No, I don't. I just wanted to say thank you so very much for everything you're doing.
 And I've been following everything for the last week and a half because I've been out
 of the county. And I think I would like to see us get more organized in the future as
 far as a volunteer network. But we're just getting, I think, into the season. And so,
 thank you to everyone who has helped. Yeah, we do thank you, Ms. Nibel and Mr. Baker
 with emergency management. I know Monroe County Fire Protection District did an amazing job
 immediately after the storm and then helping provide some statistical information on damage
 to help with the assessments at emergency management with the state. So, we really appreciate
 everybody stepping up and questions can be directed to emergency management beyond that.
 Thank you. Thank you so much for being here this morning. All right. Any other department
 updates? Okay. Seeing none, we'll come back for our next agenda item, which is public
 comment. Public comment is time reserved on our agenda for items that are not elsewhere
 on our agenda. Each speaker is limited to three minutes per person. Please give us your
 name and county of residence. And you may raise your hand on teams or come to the podium.
 And we have Mr. MG joining us. Good morning. Good morning commissioners, both present here
 and online. I am Christopher MG from the Greater Bloomington Chamber of Commerce, a Monroe
 County resident. And today our community is being showcased through Showcase Bloomington,
 the Chamber's Business Expo at Switchyard Park starting at five o'clock. We'll be presenting
 all of the great things and innovative ways that the business community is present here
 and adds to the vitality of the community. We'd love to see you out there today. We did
 it last year. The weather looks perfect again. I don't know how we do it, but two years in
 a row, we'll take it. The one thing I wanted to talk about today in my brief time is SB
 1, this sort of the budget uncertainty there. And I've noted, I think, to one of you that
 the more of it it's explained to me, the less I'm really sure of it. But as we sort of celebrate
 our community, we sort of need to look at SB 1 and what the significant uncertainty we
 have moving forward. And I think this has the potential to be an opportunity here in
 the community, despite the revenue shortfalls and these unfunded mandates that the state
 puts on us. And just to really think about government, not just cuts, but to be creative
 in the duties and the partnerships involved, not just new buildings, but sort of new partnerships.
 Not just expanding staff, but streamlining roles across departments. The fiscal road
 ahead is not smooth, but if we navigate this together, I think we can have it. So when
 you talk about strategic reinvention, we're looking at sort of a pivot point for the community.
 Let's start re-evaluating job descriptions and organizational charge to reduce duplication
 and sort of improve efficiency. It's something we've done in the chamber since Eric Spoonmore
 has taken over. We have an opportunity to do shared service across county, city, Bloomington,
 town of Ellitsville. Once we clear up what this is going to entail, we can start sort
 of navigating together and cross-training certain staff resilience and just adaptability
 to be sort of a leaner operation as we move forward. And collaboration is really in our
 DNA. Tonight, as a personal example, is Little League Baseball at Winslow Park. If you look
 at the 11-player roster, it's 11 players from 11 different schools in the county. That includes
 RBB, Lighthouse, Christian, Seven Oaks. I mean, the gamut of schools are represented
 by our team, and they sort of come together not as Cougars, Panthers, or Mustangs, but
 they come together as a team, which is what the city, the county, and the business community
 need to do going forward, not work in silos, not work in competition, but really come together.
 And when we put Monroe County on the map, that's not just what we build, but how we
 build it. So as we celebrate our community today at Showcase Bloomington, I'd like to
 think we're all on the same team moving forward in this difficult climate. I thank you.
 Thank you, Mr. MG. Appreciate it. Online, we have Maria Douglas. Good morning.
 Good morning. Thank you for having me. For some reason, I was able to get on on my laptop,
 but not my phone. So I don't know. So anyway, I'm Maria Douglas, a 30-year resident of Monroe
 County. And today I'm giving public comment as a county council appointed member of the
 Monroe County Women's Commission. Currently, the Women's Commission, this is our purpose,
 states that the commission shall serve in an advisory role to assist residents, businesses,
 and the government of Monroe County in addressing issues of gender equity in all aspects of
 society. As plans move forward for the new county jail facility, I would like to comment
 on the Monroe County Sheriff's Office of Jail and Justice Center pre-design report that
 was released on February 27. Members of the Women's Commission have reviewed the space
 plans. And while the decision to increase the overall number of beds to 500 is incompatible
 with stopping the trend of increased incarceration in our county and reducing the recidivism
 of people penalized more for their circumstances than any crimes committed, we do want to
 acknowledge
 that this plan includes spaces designed separately for female inmates, for detox bullpen, video
 arraignment waiting, which is great, medical and mental health, holding cells and housing
 units, and an inmate worker dormitory. Alongside the plan, that plan also includes designated
 special housing units in both male and female medical and mental health areas for marginalized
 genders. And we want to make notice of these plans, of those plans, and point them out
 to the public and the board of commissioners so that you can also keep an eye on these
 designated spaces to ensure they remain in place for the safety and dignity of all people.
 So the plan also identifies general population by housing number or rooms, I had to check
 my time there, number of rooms and beds, but does not make note of any separation or designated
 areas for female inmates or other marginalized gender inmates. So this is, that is 384 out
 of the 500 total beds planned for this facility. So bottom line is, is that we would encourage
 more details to be made available to ensure that people incarcerated, unfortunately in
 our jail, in our county jail who are women and other marginalized genders are insured
 the human dignity of being safe in who they are and not further punished for how they
 present themselves to the world. Thank you so much.
 Thank you so much. And we would really appreciate seeing this report via email if that's possible
 we really appreciate the thought that's gone into this. There, there aren't a lot of details
 in a pre-design and that's, that's part of the pre-design process. So, but I, but it's,
 it's great information to keep in mind. We appreciate that, that this has been studied
 and considered. Thank you. All right. Any other public comment today? Please, please
 give us your name and county of residence and you'll have three minutes.
 I'm Molly Radecki. I'm a Monroe County residence of the town of Steinsville. I'm relatively
 new to Steinsville of two years, which still makes me a newbie there and I love it. And
 I, well, there's a couple of issues that I wanted to address is that there's a historic
 distrust between the town of Steinsville and the Monroe County government. And I would
 like to say that along with the older residents, there's also younger residents that are moving
 in that need some kind of form of communication that's clear and direct with the county to
 get needs met. And I particularly have some needs that need to be met and I don't know
 who to turn to. My house flooded during the April 2nd and 3rd flooding event and it was
 an anomaly. I have water coming in from the street because of poor drainage, as well as
 we are part on septic and in our public sewer system. And my septic tank didn't have a backflow.
 So I had black water coming from my shower drain. I talked to Vanyam-Fanyam, I talked
 to the town of Steinsville, but I'm in this feedback loop where I can't get help because
 Steinsville doesn't give their storm water tax to the county so I can't get help. But
 I hope that someone could help me to tell me who do I direct my needs to that they get
 met and I'm not constantly chasing my own tail. The second thing is I wanted to ask
 who should I direct my questions to. I'm interested in applying for a sustainable partnership
 with the center of rural engagement at IU, which would be due in October. It's a collaborative
 project but I would like to know who can I engage in the county that would be interested
 in helping me to help Steinsville and other entities of rural Owen County to apply for
 this. Okay, great. Thank you. Thank you, Ms. Radecki. I hope I pronounced it right. Okay,
 thank you. I'm wondering, Angie, if you could, if you could at least get a phone number or
 an email and then be in contact and see what what could be done to direct, direct her questions
 as best as possible. I'll do that. Okay, I think I want to hear to me this is a town
 of Steinsville issue, a much of it may be and or maybe a trustee issue. But yeah, and
 I don't know if Ms. Ridge has anything she wanted to. I do know that they collect their
 own stormwater fee. So they they should have I don't know what they use their fee and that
 fund for but it is collected for stormwater issues and drainage issues. So we usually
 when we get requests that fall within the town of Steinsville because we have a MS for
 program also, we refer them to Steinsville because within the city limits, they do collect
 their own fee there. Yeah. If you wouldn't mind, this pretty thank you so much. Thank
 you for coming in. We'll we'll help you direct your questions. All right. Any other public
 comment for items not on our agenda? Let's see. Then we'll come back to our next item,
 please. The approval of the minutes for May 15 2025. Second. Any comments, corrections
 or edits? Okay. All right. We'll go ahead and Mr. Cockrell, will you please call the
 roll on the approval of the minutes for May 15 2025? And just a reminder to Commissioner
 Medeiros, you will have to be visible on camera in order to vote. Commissioner Thomas? Yes.
 Commissioner Jones? Yes. Commissioner Medeiros? Yes. Root three to zero. Thank you, Mr. Cockrell.
 Next item, please. Move approval of the claims docket accounts payable May 29 2025 and payroll
 May 30 2025. We have our auditor Miss Gregory joining us. Good morning. Good morning, commissioners.
 The accounts payable claims docket for today, May 29 2025, total $16,792,063.71. This includes
 all emergency claims and adjustments. Additionally, the payroll docket for tomorrow May 30 2025
 equals $2,266,853.98. That includes direct and indirect costs. Thank you so much. Comments
 or corrections, Commissioner Jones? No, I don't. Any comments or questions, Commissioner Medeiros?
 I have none. Thank you. I don't have any either. Well, I had one and it got answered very quickly.
 I appreciate that. So let's see if there's any public comment on this item. You raise
 your hand on Teams or come to the podium. Seeing none. Mr. Cockrell, will you please
 call the roll on approval of the claim stock and accounts payable May 29 2025 and payroll
 May 30 2025? Mr. Thomas? Yes. Commissioner Jones? Yes. Commissioner Medeira? Yes. Approved
 three to zero. Thank you so much. I will note for the record that we have received a report
 from the treasurer for April of 2025. We will now move on to new business, please. Move approval
 of ratification of a local disaster emergency declaration? I'll second that. And Ms. Purdy
 just sat down and it's her item. Sorry. No, you're fine. I get you going this morning.
 Yes. It's good to get me moving. This is the ratification of the declaration of a weather
 emergency that was signed by Commissioner Thomas on the 19th of May. It turned out on May 23rd.
 So this is just the official approval of that because we had to do it in the event of a
 joint emergency and the commissioners were not meeting. Right. Exactly. And if there's
 funding available, this is something we have to have in place in order to be eligible for
 that funding, for example, the information that the governor has regarding our interest
 in receiving some assistance. So comments or questions? Commissioner Jones? No, I don't.
 Commissioner Madeira? No, I have none. Thank you. Any public comment on this item? You
 raise your hand on teams or come to the podium. Seeing none, Mr. Cockrell, will you please
 call the roll on the ratification of local disaster emergency declaration? Commissioner
 Thomas? Yes. Commissioner Jones? Yes. Commissioner Madeira? Yes. Motion. All right. Thank you
 so much. Next item, please. Move approval of an MOU with Wagner, Erwin, Shealy and Associates
 or WIS, fund name, county general, fund number 1,000, in an amount not to exceed $28,000.
 Second that. And Mr. Cockrell, I think you're standing in for Ms. Turner King today on this
 one. Yes, this is essentially an extension of the agreement that the council has with
 Wagner, Erwin and Shealy. They've been using this firm for well over a decade to help them
 do job description reviews, classification of those job descriptions and salary recommendations.
 This is a two-year agreement not to exceed $28,000. Thank you so much. Comments or questions?
 Commissioner Jones? No, I don't. Commissioner Madeira, comments or questions? No. I don't
 either. I just, well, I don't have a question, but my comment is that I encourage the council
 to use this judiciously as it seems like this money could be used towards salaries for our
 county employees and especially if they're sort of standard job descriptions and things,
 it feels like we have such a catalog of them that we should really only be using this in
 unusual circumstances. That's just my take on it. I'm not a member of council anymore.
 So I'll leave it at that. Is there any public comment on this item? You can raise your hand
 on Teams or come to the podium. See none. Mr. Cockrell, will you please call the roll
 on the MOU with Wagner, Irwin, Shealy and Associates? Commissioner Thomas? Yes. Commissioner
 Jones? Yes. Commissioner Madeira? Yes. Motion is approved. Three to zero. Thank you so much.
 Next item, please. Move approval of the Indiana Health Care Information Exchange Agreement
 fund name, local public health fund number 1161 in the amount of $1,800. Second. And
 Ms. Kelly is joining us again to tell us all about it. Yes. So the Indiana Department of
 Health is offering at this time all local health departments free access for one year
 to this platform. They would also be covering the startup fees for this service. So it's
 essentially a platform that gives us access to patient information. So our disease intervention
 specialists would be using this to be able to more quickly verify medication, past medical
 history to kind of reduce some of the time that they are currently spending having to
 find that information by calling various doctors' offices. So the data is collected from over
 140 Indiana hospitals and health systems. So really a lot of information. We'd only
 be searching for patient information. We would not be using the system for any other purpose.
 All right. Thank you so much. Comments or questions, Commissioner Jones? No, I don't.
 Commissioner Madera? No, it just sounds incredibly valuable. Thank you. I don't have any questions
 either. Let's see if there's any public comment on this item. You raise your hand on Teams
 or come to the podium. All right. Seeing none, Mr. Cockrell, will you please call the roll
 on the Indiana Healthcare Information Exchange Agreement? Commissioner Thomas? Yes. Commissioner
 Jones? Yes. Commissioner Madera? Yes. Motion approved, three to zero. Thank you so much.
 Next item, please. Move approval of a surveyor review board new appointment. Nope, it's item
 D. Oh, sorry. You're good. I'm fogging the pen. Oh, sorry. Move approval of the Indiana
 Department of Health MOU for the use of SCI-APSXRF, paint analyzer. I'll second that. Ms. Kelly,
 tell us all about it. So this equipment we originally received with a grant back in 2022.
 The grant has ended, but the Indiana Department of Health has essentially sent out these MOUs
 to allow health departments who have this equipment continued use of it at no charge.
 This agreement would go until December 31st of 2026. We don't use it a whole lot, but
 it does give us access to be able to go test lead paint levels for homeowners.
 Great. Thank you so much. Comments or questions? Commissioner Jones?
 Yes, even if this isn't used a lot, it's very valuable for the homeowners who do ask
 for it. So thank you for making it happen. Yeah, this is a great piece of equipment,
 right? And especially if somebody is trying to restore or repair an old home. Commissioner
 Medeira, comments or questions? I agree. It's an essential service and I have
 no other comments. Thank you. Any public comment on this item?
 You raise your hand on teams or come to the podium.
 Seeing none, Mr. Cockerill, will you please call the roll on the Indiana Department of
 Health MOU for use of the SCIAPS XRF paint analyzer? Commissioner Thomas. Yes. Commissioner
 Jones. Yes. Commissioner Medeira. Yes. Motion approved 3-0. Thank you so much. We'll now
 move on. Thank you, Ms. Kelly. We'll now move on to the next item, please.
 Now the Surveyor Review Board new appointment. I'll second that. And Mr. Tron Enright-Randolph,
 if you could tell us about it, please. Yes. Good morning. I was here kind of earlier in
 the year to appoint our core members. The max is five members on the board. This would
 move us to four members. So I won't go into lengthy presentation. This helps me with my
 statutory duties of perpetuating the county. And this is the board that approves those
 monument records. Mr. Gwynne is a resident of the county. One good contribution he'll
 be providing to the board is he works more in the rural area. So we have a nice group
 of folks that work kind of more in like a dense city environment. And then now this
 will add another one kind of into our rural environment. And it's fun. That gives us four
 professional licensed surveyors that get to make quadrijudicial decisions. And I need to
 bring consensus and get them to approve monuments. So also one other notable point is this is
 paid out of our corner fund. So that's a non-reverting dedicated fund. So it will be sustainable
 to add that new member. And that would be it. And I'm asking for your approval today.
 Thank you. Thank you. Comments or questions? Commissioner Jones? No, I'm just glad that
 the board is getting closer to full. Yeah. Commissioner Madeira, comments or questions?
 I have none. I don't have any either. Let's see if there's any public comment on this
 item. You raise your hand on teams or come to the podium. Seeing none, all those in favor
 of approving the survey review board new appointment signify by saying aye. Aye. Oh, I'm sorry.
 Sorry. It's been a long day, not enough campaign. Mr. Cocker, will you please call the roll?
 Mr. Thomas? Yes. Commissioner Jones? Yes. Commissioner Madeira? Yes. Motion is approved
 three to zero. Thank you so much. Thank you so much. All right. Next item please. Move
 approval of shy rubric MS 365 backup agreement. Fund name cumulative capital fund number 1138
 in the amount of $13,796.44. Second. And Mr. Cron, tell us all about it please. Good morning.
 So our Microsoft 365 environment is cloud based, which requires a separate set of licensing
 from our on-premise backup. The licensing that we currently have in place is about to
 expire at the end of June, so we were looking for different solutions that gave us better
 manageability of the data than what we were currently seeing under the software solution
 we had in place. After searching through a couple different options, we've looked at
 the rubric option to backup that 365. It gives us much improved manageability. We're able
 to sort out through the individual backup staff to pull files in mass as we were doing
 with our current solution. And this also comes in at $2,000 less than what we were quoted
 to renew our current solution. So it's a mass improvement and gives us a little bit of money
 back to our coffers. So this request is to approve the quote provided by Shy for 820
 rubric licenses, good for a period of one year for $13,796.44.
 >> All right. Thank you so much. Comments or questions? Commissioner Jones?
 >> No, I don't. >> Commissioner Madeira?
 >> No. >> My question was already answered. Appreciate
 that. And let's see if there's any public comment on this item. You can raise your hand on Teams
 or come to the podium. Seeing none, Mr. Cockrell, will you please call the roll on the SHI rubric
 MS365 back up agreement? >> Commissioner Thomas?
 >> Yes. >> Commissioner Jones?
 >> Yes. >> Commissioner Madeira?
 >> Yes. >> Most approved, 3-0.
 >> Thank you so much. Next item, please. >> Move approval of the Fort Service Agreement
 for Courtroom 212 audio system retooling. Fund name, 2023 geobond. Fund number, 4817.
 In the amount of $39,892.12. >> I'll second that. Mr. Crone?
 >> So this would be the third courtroom that we've started working on as I've come up here
 and stated before, many of our courtrooms, the audio systems are in various states of
 age and deterioration. So this courtroom has been identified as the next issue that we're
 going to have. TSD staff has been working over and over again to keep this equipment
 going. So it's time to replace it before it does fail. So this is through the same company,
 Forte was AVI. They've just recently changed their name. So that's why you see the difference
 in what's put on the summary versus what's on the quote there. Same company. So this
 is the same group that we've been working with, who's currently completing courtroom
 313 this morning.
 Excellent. Thank you so much. Comments or questions? Commissioner Jones?
 Yes. Every time we seem to ask, is this equipment that can move to the new location?
 Absolutely, yes. And just so everyone's aware, we're going to hit the pause button. We're
 at a stable point right now once we complete this courtroom. The pricing for these components
 has changed, obviously, since we originally allocated funds for that. And since we are
 in that stable position, I don't want to do any more until we have some glaring problems
 that we need to address for fear of coming up short on funds.
 Absolutely, that makes sense. Commissioner Madeira, comments or questions?
 None. I shared Commissioner Jones' question, and thank you for answering that.
 I don't have any other questions. Any public comment on this item? You can raise your hand
 on teams or come to the podium.
 Seeing none, Mr. Cocker, will you please call the roll on the Forte Service Agreement for
 Courtroom 212 Audio System Retooling?
 Commissioner Thomas?
 Yes.
 Commissioner Jones?
 Yes.
 Commissioner Madeira?
 Yes.
 Motion is approved, three to zero.
 Thank you so much.
 Thank you very much.
 Next item, please. Move to approve Ordinance 2025-15, an amendment to the Monroe County
 Code in Health.
 Second.
 Second.
 Mr. Cocker?
 Yes. This has got some changes from our current, namely we've removed the future family health
 clinic language. There are three new categories for sewage disposals. Sewage holding tank
 construction initial operation permit is 250. Sewage holding tank biannual operation permit
 is 350. And certified soil test or minimum specification certifications is 50. It reduced
 the amount for the septic installer test and company registration from 150 to 75. The remaining
 of it is just kind of clarifications, changing things from less, from five months to less
 than six months and things like that. So it's really just cleaning it up.
 Yes. I agree. Comments or questions? Commissioner Jones?
 No, I don't.
 Commissioner Maduro?
 No.
 This is something we saw discussed at a health board meeting and it really is going to help
 make things clear. All right. Appreciate the work on this. Let's see if there's any public
 comment on this item. You raise your hand on teams or come to the podium.
 Seeing none, Mr. Copper, will you please call the roll on ordinance 2025-15?
 Commissioner Thomas?
 Yes.
 Commissioner Jones?
 Yes.
 Commissioner Maduro? Yes. Approved 3-0.
 Thank you so much. Next item, please.
 Move approval of resolution 2025-26 authorizing the City of Bloomington Parks and Recreation
 to submit a variance request for their Thompson Trail project.
 I'll second that. Mr. Copper?
 Yes, we have provided an easement that coincided with the Duke easement on the south side of
 the Thompson property. They are going through the city planning process, asking for a variance
 from having to look at the entire parcel to see if there's any other easements or things
 like that that would be necessary. This says that we support their going through that process.
 We support it to the extent that it doesn't cost us anything and that we are not committing
 to any additional easements. That's kind of what they've requested. I think the other
 part is they want to file this tomorrow. If we could get this approved today, I think
 it would meet their timeline. Sounds good. Comments or questions, Commissioner
 Jones? No, I don't.
 Commissioner Madera? No. I don't either. Makes sense. And let's
 see if there's any public comment on this item. You raise your hand on teams or come
 to the podium. All right. Seeing none, Mr. Cockrell, will you please call the roll on
 Resolution 2025-26? Commissioner Thomas? Yes. Commissioner Jones? Yes. Commissioner
 Madera? Yes. 3-0. Thank you so much. Next item, please.
 Move to approve the amendment of 3/2024 Opioid Settlement Community Service Grants. Fund
 Names, Opioid Restricted and Opioid Unrestricted, Fund Numbers 1237 and 1238. I'll second that.
 And there's no amount because there's no amount of money involved. It's just a matter of time.
 Mr. Cockrell, will you address this? Yes. There's no amount because there's no
 change in amount, right? So these are already approved MOUs. There are three changes that
 are being made to them to involve the extension of a timeline until May 31, 2026. And the
 third was just clarifying what the Monroe County courts could use their grant funding for.
 That was a question that went back to the committee that reviews these on their recommendations.
 Thank you so much. Comments, questions, Commissioner Jones? No, I'm just pleased to have this
 cleared
 up. Commissioner Medeira? None. Thank you. I appreciate the work of the Opioid Settlement
 Review Board and all of these agencies that do this great work in our community. Let's
 see if there's any public comment on this item. You can raise your hand on Teams or come to
 the podium. Seeing none, Mr. Cockrell, will you please call the roll on amending three
 2024 opioid settlement community service grants? Commissioner Thomas? Yes. Commissioner Jones?
 Yes. Commissioner Medeira? Yes. Motion approved at three to zero. Thank you so much. Next
 item please. Move approval of the USDA disbursements under the Emergency Commodity Assistance
 Program
 regarding the Huntington property. I'll second that. Mr. Cockrell, you're doing some heavy
 lifting today, if you wouldn't mind. I've been prepared very well. Okay. Except for
 this. Just kidding. This involves the generous donated property for the Huntington. The current
 kind of, it's currently being farmed, it's currently being farmed with kind of a 50/50
 split with the property owner and the farmer. And the USDA, it plays a role in that. And
 so this is just to fill out the documentation the USDA found necessary in order to continue
 that program. I believe that the court said that we could continue these leases for up
 to two years. I think the one, there's one decision point I think that we need in that
 is a contact person from the USDA. They want an actual person or several. I guess, I talked
 to Justin this morning, he would recommend either himself or Kelly Whitmer or both. But
 if you would include that in your decision, that would be great.
 Okay, great. Thank you. Comments or questions? Commissioner Jones, this is your pun intended
 field of work. What can you tell us?
 Well, I'm just very excited about this property and certainly agree to either Kelly or Justin
 being the contact person for the USDA. I don't think this is really what the long term plans
 are. So, you know, it's just going to get us through the stage to where we will start
 actually developing it.
 Excellent point. I agree. I think I would put both names down, both Ms. Whitmer and
 Mr. Roddy on that as a contact. That way if one is not available the other hopefully is.
 Commissioner Madeira, any questions or any thoughts on the contact name?
 None. I just echo this is a very generous gift and I'm glad to see this move forward.
 Thank you. Yeah. And yeah, it's really generous. Generous gift to everyone in Monroe County.
 It's not a gift to county government. It's a gift to all the residents of Monroe County.
 So it sounds like our motion is we have consensus on amending the motion. So Mr. Cocker will
 we please call the roll on the USDA disbursements under emergency commodity assistance program
 regarding the hunting property noting that Ms. Whitmer and Mr. Roddy should both be listed
 as contact names. Mr. Thomas? Yes. Commissioner Jones? Yes. Commissioner Madeira? Yes. Motion
 approved three to zero. Thank you so much. Move on to item L please. Move approval of
 the InDOT inspection agreement for 2026 through 2029 countywide bridge inspections. Fund name
 countywide bridge inspections 2026 through 2029. Fund number to be decided in the 2026
 budget in the amount of $647,669.17. I will second that. Ms. Ridge? Good morning. So
 we are required to do a four-year cycle for our bridge inspections. The next cycle begins
 in 2026. March is our compliance month that we're assigned from InDOT. This is a reimbursable
 grant program with 80% being reimbursed and 20% being the local match. The funding's based
 on the contract that was approved with EGIS/BLN on May 8th, 2025 and included in your packet
 as a breakdown of funding by year. All right. Thank you so much. Comments or questions,
 Commissioner Jones? I don't. Commissioner Maduro? No, just very important stuff. Really important
 program. All right. Thank you so much, Ms. Ridge for organizing all of this. Let's see
 if there's any public comment on this item. You can raise your hand in teams or come to
 the podium. Seeing none, Mr. Cockrell, will you please call the roll on InDOT agreement
 for 2026 through 2029 county wide bridge inspections? Mr. Thomas? Yes. Commissioner Jones? Yes.
 Commissioner Maduro? Yes. Motion is approved. Three to zero. Thank you so much. Thank you.
 All right. We'll now move on to the next item, please. Move approval of ordinance 2025-13
 North Park PUD outline amendment number seven. I'll second that. Ms. Cresselius is joining
 us. Good morning. Good morning. Okay, if all's going well, I am sharing screen. So this is
 a proposed amendment number seven to North Park planned unit development. The petition
 site is 46 parcels for a total of 470 acres. This is spread across Bloomington and Richland
 townships, and they are all currently zoned North Park PUD. Here on the screen is just
 the zoning map of the area. Everywhere in gray is shown is currently zoned North Park
 or another adjacent PUD. So some of the roadways are also zoned PUD, et cetera. So on screen
 is a map showing the ownership of the properties that are included within this request. The
 petitioner is Logan Land Development LLC. They are proposing to significantly alter
 the current North Park PUD ordinance. The petitioner's representative is Trevor Trapagan
 of MKSK Studios, which is a planning urban design and architectural firm. There are 11
 landowners included within the petition site. That includes the petitioner, Logan Land Development,
 and also Monroe County Board of Commissioners and the Quarry Park property. So a couple
 of overview points. So the impetus for this petition is that there is a contractual agreement
 between the petitioner and the County Board of Commissioners to purchase a portion of
 this property. It is one small portion of the total petition site, and that would be
 a potential future location for the Monroe County Justice Center. Additionally, planning
 staff has met with the property owner multiple times over the last couple of years, acknowledging
 and strategizing about a desire to revamp the North Park PUD. It was created 21 years
 ago and has not necessarily developed as they had expected. So they've been wanting to revamp
 the ordinance to reflect more current development patterns. The North Park PUD, Amendment 7
 before you, would amend the PUD, and as we know, a PUD is kind of a create your own zone.
 That dictates certain things. It dictates land use, what can be permitted in this area,
 and design standards like landscaping, parking, and sign structures. There's language within
 this PUD that states any development plan, so any property that proposes to develop for
 the first time or add new structures to an existing property, if triggered, would have
 to submit a development plan. And there is language in the PUD that states all development
 plan has to require approval through the plan commission. So for a development plan, it
 has to go before the plan commission and have a public hearing, which does include public
 notice and neighbor notice. So any adjacent property owners for any new development, you
 will hear about that in the future. So a review of some of the changes. So this is an overhaul
 of the existing PUD. We're going from about a 140-page document down to a 40-page document.
 So they've really consolidated the information. There were a lot of very specific standards
 within the current North Park PUD that through the properties that have developed, they know
 through experience now that, you know, what worked, what didn't, and what can be condensed.
 So on screen are a current couple of screen clips of the current ordinance. So on the
 right is an image of the zoning map that North Park currently has. We are currently operating
 with kind of five main use areas that have 19 different sub-use districts and different
 acronyms and associated acreages shown on the left. They're proposing to condense that
 to five development sub-districts with no further breakdown in those districts. So we're
 just going from 19 to five. The proposed sub-districts are regional services shown in purple,
 neighborhood
 shown in orange, government center shown in blue, conservation development shown in yellow,
 and then a zone called open space and parks shown in green. There's one area of overlap
 on the map where neighborhood orange and regional services kind of pink purple do overlap on
 the eastern side of 46. On the left side of the screen, they have kind of a breakdown
 as to what the primary uses of these zones are, how much areas in that, and then they
 have a column for allowed residential units. So some of these are not, don't allow residential
 units like open space and parks and government center or regional services. So the PROS-PUD
 has 65 uses listed within a single consolidated use table. The use titles and definitions
 are consistent with the Monroe County consolidated county development ordinance, so the CDO.
 The categories of the uses are the same as within our CDO, from like residential, public
 and semi-public, to retail, automotive, industrial, etc. The consistency between these uses are
 going to allow us to have a little bit maneuverability between the two documents as it gets
 proposed
 to be developed. On the table, as we flip through it, we have the standard P for permitted,
 PS for permitted with standards, and then blank would be not permitted. There are also
 just a couple of conditional uses throughout the use, throughout the use table. Those acronyms
 tie right back to our county development ordinance, so if you're looking at permitted with
 standards
 in the north part of PUD, for an example, an entertainment center, we could then reference
 the standards listed within the county development ordinance. One of the ways that we are keeping
 they were able to keep this document a little bit smaller. So on screen, we do have some
 design standards for how those residential and non-residential zones are going to get
 developed. So this is similar to the county development ordinance where we have setbacks
 for structures. We have a minimum lot area, a lot width, and maximum height for structures.
 And then we also have a maximum impervious cover. That's something that was added in
 by the petitioner after some discussion. Staff's very appreciative. It's been a long journey
 of working through and editing this document. And it has been, you know, it's gone very
 well and we're very happy with how this document has turned out so far. So just a couple of
 zones that I'm going to highlight for, you know, just more importance or I have notes
 about them. Two areas. One is the Conservation Development Zoning District. This is unique
 because it's a sub-district. It's intended for single-family residential homes, but it
 is kind of specifically allowed to be developed in what's referred to as a conservation subdivision
 design. So it has a very small minimum lot size and that is because there are standards
 with this that allows, that states that with the first proposed development within this
 region that they have to provide an open space plan that would be upon submittal of the first
 development plan for the Conservation Development Sub-District, a comprehensive open space plan
 encompassing at minimum all the open space that would be located for the entire news district
 shall be submitted with the development plan for review and approval by the Monroe County
 Planning Commission. So basically the subdivision or the neighborhood that could be proposed within
 this development would be a more compact cluster design and would require conservation areas to be
 platted at the same time. So you would not necessarily be able to take the whole conservation
 development area, divide it evenly 10 times and have 10 lots. You would have to do smaller clusters
 of lots because this area contains a lot of different terrain. There's a creek from Stout's
 Creek, a branch of it that goes through this area. There's some hilly terrain that just wouldn't be
 very conducive for development. So this is one way that they could have residential development
 in the area but also kind of conserve the areas that where wouldn't be appropriate.
 On screen is the open space and parks zone. So within every PUD there is a requirement to
 conserve or open space. They are they've created a district that includes this open space
 requirement
 and also includes the board of commissioner owned property the quarry property that may become a
 park
 one day and could have developed on it. So they've offered some flexibility between this district
 and the conservation development district that they will meet their threshold required PUD open
 space between these two. So that's where that first comprehensive open space plan that they'd
 be required to submit comes in. Staff went through this quite a bit with the petitioner
 and you know with that requirement of the comprehensive open space plan for the first
 submission of development we have you know full confidence that they will be able to maintain
 the required 25 percent currently between the two zones they they exceed that amount.
 So it's really about just working with the developer at the time as to what specific areas
 what are the sensitive areas that they plan to preserve.
 So one aspect that the PUD will be changing is the transportation infrastructure they'll
 be also including alternative transportation which I'll get to in a moment. Currently on
 screen is on the left side we have our existing map from the North Park PUD that shows us
 the roads that were to be built and their classifications is an an image that has not
 been updated. We even actually amended the PUD in 2023 and removed three of these roads.
 And I've got a better map that I will show and help here in a moment. And then on the right
 is the proposed transportation map that they are that they've included with the amendment.
 So on screen to help make it a little bit more clear, you know, it's been 21 years. Some roads
 have been developed. Some are currently in progress and then some have been removed. So
 on screen the roads that have been built out are shown in blue. The roads that are in progress
 are in yellow. That would be part of the the West Hunter Valley connection. And there's also a
 connection from South Lentil to Woodyard Road that is kind of currently in progress.
 The roads that they are proposing to remove from within this amendment seven are shown in red.
 I would also like to note that road number eight shown in green has been removed from the plan.
 This was a Planning Commission condition of recommending having a positive recommendation.
 So the property owner of IU Health did attend the Planning Commission meeting and they had had some
 kind of last-minute talks as to where you know they really didn't want to they didn't foresee
 planning out that section labeled as road eight. The petitioner was fine with that.
 We discussed planning staff discussed with the highway department. They
 see no huge need to have that road connection eight. So number eight that requirement has
 been stricken from the the proposed amendment ordinance before you. And then I did just want
 to point out number road number 14 to be removed. This is the same area as the Conservation
 Development
 Zone that I discussed where it has a lot of variable terrain. So this map just kind of
 highlights where this road was supposed to go and then you could see two different branches of
 Stouts Creek and kind of that variable terrain that we were mentioning that they would have to
 really have to have a civil engineer design around in the future. So overall you know staff is
 supportive of this road being removed from the plan. It would be simply a connection from North
 Stone Branch Drive up to a an existing road stub off of West Eight Road 46.
 Regarding alternative transportation, the plan does include an update to that. So on the left
 side of the screen is the existing alternative transportation plan. There were you know
 requirements
 for multi-use path sidewalks. There was a requirement for a bicycle pedestrian overpass
 or underpass across 046. The petitioner representative has reviewed this and they
 have removed the requirement for an overpass underpass simply because of feasibility and
 changing of uses. On the right side of the screen they are showing a future connection. So they're
 showing mainly that pedestrian crossing would be at the intersection of Hunter Valley Road and
 State Road 440, State Road 46. There are already built out sidewalks along all along North Lentil,
 Hunter Valley Road, Stone Branch, South Lentil and North Lentil. So they are keeping the
 requirement
 that every new site plant new development plan would be required to add a multi-use path along
 any public road frontage. So that's still included there and it's shown in a dark green.
 So the Monroe County stormwater program under the highway department you know they took this
 for review at the drainage board in April. One of the changes to the infrastructure within the PUD
 is to the stormwater infrastructure. The original existing PUD requires that stormwater is
 addressed
 sometimes on site but also regionally. Since a lot of the areas of North Park have not fully
 developed we only have a few areas where there is a regional detention. So the petitioner has
 proposed
 that stormwater infrastructure is designed and constructed on a singular lot basis as it gets
 proposed to be developed. The stormwater program is in support of this and they stated that you
 know
 that there would be proper consideration will be given to higher intensity use changes.
 They state that the full drainage area of the area being developed you know includes off-site
 adjacent pipe upgrades or additions and that they will be considering off-site drainage and
 downstream drainage as they review. This is somewhat standard for stormwater programs so
 pretty standard comments from from stormwater. They are supportive of these changes and they
 will continue to maintain the areas that already have regional infrastructure will be
 they will continue on that way. There won't be any changes to it.
 So plan commission voted to send a positive recommendation. They did include the following
 change that it was at the time section 621B which was that road number eight be removed and that
 was done that was has been removed from the ordinance and they they forwarded that with
 by a vote of seven to zero to one. So planning staff does recommend approval of ordinance 2025-13
 the North Park PUD outline plan amendment number seven and can I answer any questions?
 Thank you so much Ms. Krasilias really informative.
 Comments or questions for planning staff? Commissioner Jones?
 Well I would like to comment that I believe it's been about 18 years that I've been hearing that
 this PUD needed to be revisited and I'm glad that that's finally happened. This is actually quite
 important for us to be able to continue on with our plans for building a new justice center and a
 new jail. So I am very supportive of it. And I will note that the simplification is really
 a result of the CDO as well because that's given us the ability to be clear and less verbose.
 Comments or questions for staff? Commissioner Madera?
 No I really appreciate the detailed explanation. I do have one and that's more for the edification
 of the public. So I really think conservation districts are amazing and I'm excited about this
 and I just wondered I run into a lot of people who don't seem to know what that term really
 means and so I wondered if you know someone could provide a general overview so we can kind of get
 that out there for people who might be asking questions. Also you know these presentations
 are always so detailed and I'm very appreciative just of how much work and how much effort has
 gone into this and my little lawyer heart is just so happy anytime we can go from 140 pages down to
 40 pages. So this is great thank you. Ms. Cresilius would you talk through what it means to be in a
 conservation development area? Sure so the term you know is similar to one of our current CDO
 zoning districts. We have conservation so this term is conservation development. They're both
 generally rural areas or have areas of sensitive environmental concern that are generally intended
 to be residential in nature. The design standards are often smaller or more flexible and but there
 are greater requirements for preservation of those environmentally sensitive areas. So in the
 example
 of this ordinance it's that flexibility to have a pretty small lot size and be able to subdivide
 with pretty small lot while also having that requirement that you have to maintain a large
 percentage of the original property being subdivided to conserve those areas that are
 are more sensitive. Thank you so much. We do have the petitioners representative here I believe
 from
 MKSK. You have up to 15 minutes but you don't need to use all that I'm sure because we've got
 we've received a very good review. Absolutely. Good morning everyone. Thank you for your time
 commissioners. My name is Trevor Tropagan. I'm with MKSK. We were representing Logan Land Company
 for this application. With Ann's very detailed explanation I'll keep this short. We entered into
 this process really with three goals. One to obviously change the land use and designations
 to allow the county to do what they intend to do with the justice center and then additionally make
 it easier for the county staff to implement and understand the document as Ann pointed out it was
 very complex. There were a lot of sub-districts things like that just that just kind of muddied
 the waters when reviews occurred. And the last one was to increase the marketability for
 for Logan Land Company. As it's been pointed out you know this PD's been in place for almost 20
 years now and I think that everyone involved would like to see more development occur out there and
 so that that was the last goal with this. With that I just want to add a little bit about the
 conservation subdivision design standards. Mr. Elias was correct the goal is to allow for
 smaller lot sizes in exchange for preserving at least 50% of the total area of that conservation
 development. So with the topography and other natural features that are out there we felt that
 that was a good way to allow for some development to occur while at the same time requiring that
 a significant portion would remain undisturbed basically. And so with that I'm happy to answer
 any additional questions but just wanted to provide a little additional oversight. Thank you.
 Thank you so much we appreciate you being here. Comments or questions? Commissioner Jones?
 No I don't at this time. Commissioner Madeira?
 I don't have any thank you so much. Yeah we really appreciate you being here today. I don't have
 any
 further questions. It's all gone along very well I believe and I agree with the roadway changes and
 all the other aspects that have been proposed here. All right let's see if there's any public
 comment on this item. First we'll hear from people who support this petition.
 You can come up to the podium and raise your hand in teams.
 Does anyone wish to speak in opposition to this petition?
 You'll have three minutes at the podium please give your name and county of residence.
 And there'll be a timer clock visible to you on the screen. It looks like we have somebody coming.
 There will be TSD. Can you make sure that the timer clock is visible on the screen?
 Thank you.
 Good morning my name is Seth Mutchler. I am a resident of Monroe County.
 So I understand that this PUD revision contains many components and reaches far beyond its
 utility for the criminal legal system. I'm not going to be commenting today on the other
 components of this revision just to that that pertains to the proposed new jail.
 I did want to give a brief content warning. At the beginning of my comment I will be reading
 from a New York Times article that does discuss the death of a pedestrian struck by a vehicle.
 This is from the New York Times article that was released on May 12th. When getting out of
 jail means a deadly walk home. Rebecca Yamarillo stepped out of the Santa Fe jail and into the
 cold one night in January 2021. After two days in a cell she was free but no one was there to pick
 her up. So with a snowstorm coming she began the long walk towards town. The jail in Santa Fe
 surrounded by barbed wire and tumbleweed sits on a remote stretch of highway far from the city's
 bustling plaza and historic churches. It is nearly two miles down the highway to the closest gas
 station, three miles to where a sidewalk starts and eight miles to the nearest homeless shelter.
 Ms. Yamarillo, 33, made it only about a mile from the jail that night before she was hit by a
 sheriff's
 deputy driving a police pickup truck at 57 miles per hour. Her body was thrown more than 100 feet
 and she was pronounced dead at the scene. Ms. Yamarillo is one of several people who have died
 trying to make it home from the Santa Fe jail on foot in recent years. It is a walk that has been
 far more deadly than previously reported. Five people have been struck fatally struck shortly
 after being released over the past decade, four of them since March 2020. So the article continues
 and I will send each of you a full copy for you to review on your own time. I know that our
 situation
 and that in Santa Fe are not identical. I'm not trying to compare apples to oranges and I recognize
 that the Santa Fe case is a more egregious one than the proposed site for the Monroe County's new
 jail
 but that said there are similarities. The North Park site sits 3.6 miles from where we are today
 in the heart of downtown. My Maps app claims that is a one hour and 21 minute walk and if you
 wanted
 to avoid walking on State Road 46 that would extend that to an hour and 51 minutes which
 would still include a lengthy walk on West Vernal Pike, heavily trafficked road. I recognize that
 this board has stated your plan to include public transit as part of this plan but we have to admit
 the reality that you cannot compel people to use public transit and the reality is people simply
 will be walking home from this site often in the dark. It's worth noting that the Santa Fe
 jail is not co-located with their courts and their related offices so this would only be
 exacerbated by the fact that we're not just talking about people going to and from jail
 but from court, from daily reporting, from meeting with their prosecutor or public defender
 and even if we have a satellite office for things like daily reporting which largely defeats the
 purpose of co-location our facility will have a much higher number. I know I'm out of time I'll
 wrap up really quickly. We need to keep in mind the undue burden for those who might be able to
 not safely travel to and from but also might need to go to and from work even if they have
 transportation. The North Park location is simply put not an acceptable location for a jail or
 courts in their related offices. I ask you to please vote no on amending the North Park PUD
 and reconsider other locations for the Monroe County Justice Center including giving serious
 consideration to renovation of the existing facility. Thank you for your service and for
 your time. Thank you. Does anyone else have a comment on this item in opposition to this petition?
 Does anyone have any general public comment?
 Any final thoughts Commissioner Jones?
 No as I said I do support this I think it's important in several different ways.
 Commissioner Madeira any final comments? No no final comments thank you.
 All right thank you so much. With that I'm going to ask Mr. Cockrell if he would please
 go ahead and call the roll on ordinance 2025-13. Commissioner Thomas? Yes. Commissioner Jones?
 Yes. Commissioner Madeira? Yes. Motion approved three to zero. All right thank you so much.
 We're gonna have time. Thank you. All right we don't have any appointments today. I will
 run through the announcements really quickly again a big thank you to everyone in our community who
 stepped up to volunteer to help. I do want to take a second to thank John Baten our GIS coordinator
 because he put together an amazing storm damage GIS map. You can go to our website and see it.
 Very cool and I appreciate that innovation. Again for those of you who are experiencing
 storm damage or someone close to you is storm damage can be reported at 211. If you need
 assistance call 1-800-RED-CROSS. Furniture needs St. Vincent de Paul 812-961-1510 extension 3.
 Salvation Army for Clothing Hoosier Hills Food Bank will help with food needs and veterans are
 encouraged to call the veteran service office for Monroe County here at 812-349-2658 and again we
 thank everyone for all their hard work. The commissioners have office hours six different
 times a month and go to co.monroe.in.us. Note that the next Monroe County Commissioner's Blood
 Drive
 will be at Ivy Tech on Thursday, June 5th from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. That is in room C-130A and B.
 You can make an appointment at redcross.org. The Rural Housing Repair Program has been moved
 over to Bloomington Foundation for ongoing sustenance and maintenance and so if you need
 assistance as a homeowner with necessary repairs to your property and you are income restricted,
 we encourage you to contact your Township Trustee for assistance. Please remember,
 especially after the storms, to sign up for our Resident Alert System. Again, co.monroe.in.us.
 Click on the megaphone on the home screen and sign up so that you receive weather notifications,
 emergency notifications in a timely manner. Our next meeting is Thursday, June 5th,
 right here in the NatU Hill Room at 10 a.m. We do have two items for our work session,
 so I wonder if we can come back at 11.35. To do that, I will just let Ms. Cresilius in Planning
 know that we're under a bit of a time crunch, so anything she can do to abbreviate the presentation
 would be greatly appreciated for item one on our work session agenda. All right, anything else for
 the good of the order? Thank you all. Be safe, and we will be back at 11.35 for our work session.
 Thanks, everyone. We're adjourned.
