Microsoft licensing renewal. 00:04:57.474 --> 00:05:08.501 - funds name cumulative capital fund number 1138 in the amount of $234,333 and 36 cents. About it. Our 00:05:08.501 --> 00:05:19.746 - annual Microsoft renewal. This covers not only our desktop OS is better server OS, our 365 environment 00:05:19.746 --> 00:05:26.078 - and all the add ons we've had with it. There was a slight 00:05:26.242 --> 00:05:31.945 - increase over last year, but that's because we've added positions, new licensing, and we've tried to 00:05:31.945 --> 00:05:37.649 - expand a few things within the environment to assist GIS and the Health Department and the Sheriff's 00:05:37.649 --> 00:05:43.522 - Department get their portals, get the numbers on their portals and everything. So we have seen a slight 00:05:43.522 --> 00:05:49.395 - increase in that. I have been working with our current software vendor trying to identify and make sure 00:05:49.395 --> 00:05:54.590 - we're getting the most bang for our buck and we're utilizing the licenses we're paying for. 00:05:54.786 --> 00:06:04.326 - I've now gone to a second vendor to request a same review so I can get another set of eyes on that and 00:06:04.326 --> 00:06:13.865 - make sure that they agree with what their findings are. I think that this is obviously necessary. This 00:06:13.865 --> 00:06:22.942 - is sort of the bedrock of all of our computing programs for everyone in the county. So thank you. 00:06:28.482 --> 00:06:40.583 - or come to the podium? Did you want to say something, Ms. Purdy? Please. Mr. Cron, I think last week 00:06:40.583 --> 00:06:52.564 - about why we are obligated to use the Microsoft software. And so I thought it might be good for you 00:06:52.564 --> 00:06:56.638 - to share that with everyone here. 00:07:02.210 --> 00:07:10.749 - especially Odyssey, which backends our court systems. Those are reliant on the Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft 00:07:10.749 --> 00:07:18.813 - Word. Unfortunately, we can't explore other options like using Google Docs, Google Mail. Those do not 00:07:18.813 --> 00:07:26.878 - integrate with those softwares. So that's why we've stuck with Microsoft for over 30 years now. Good. 00:07:26.878 --> 00:07:30.910 - Let's see if there's any public comment otherwise. 00:07:34.274 --> 00:07:42.954 - seeing none all those in favor approving the soft choice microsoft licensing renewal signify by saying 00:07:42.954 --> 00:07:51.635 - aye aye motion carries to zero next item please name cumulative capital fund number 1138 in the amount 00:07:51.635 --> 00:07:57.534 - of thirteen thousand four hundred fifty nine dollars and twenty cents 00:08:03.522 --> 00:08:09.992 - So we did have one copier that we missed in the last fleet refresh that you signed off on two months 00:08:09.992 --> 00:08:16.398 - ago. That was for courtroom 212. That's Judge Stafford's court. It was an oversight on my part. And 00:08:16.398 --> 00:08:22.932 - so that's a correction for that to replace that copier. This request is also for an additional copier 00:08:22.932 --> 00:08:29.338 - for the new health department clinic for the staffing in there on that space. And we've already had 00:08:29.338 --> 00:08:33.118 - the fax lines and data lines ran to accommodate that unit. 00:08:43.106 --> 00:08:50.252 - of copiers. But nonetheless, it is always surprising to me how expensive these things are, but yet how 00:08:50.252 --> 00:08:52.542 - vitally necessary. So thank you. 00:08:58.562 --> 00:09:05.653 - and we're actually operating the fleet at half the expense that we were previously incurring under the 00:09:05.653 --> 00:09:12.606 - old vendor. So we're always shopping. I'm always working with the vendors. They're trying, they come 00:09:12.606 --> 00:09:19.490 - through and actually identify the needs of the departments to try to make sure we're not oversizing 00:09:19.490 --> 00:09:25.342 - equipment and therefore being overcharged. Your hand on teams or come to the podium. 00:09:32.162 --> 00:09:42.703 - Seeing none, all those in favor of approving the Toshiba copier fleet agreement signify by saying aye. 00:09:42.703 --> 00:09:53.346 - Aye. Motion passes to zero. Next item, please. Thank you, sir. Fund name cumulative capital fund number 00:09:53.346 --> 00:09:59.486 - 4817 in the amount of $10,355. I want to make a correction. 00:10:00.258 --> 00:10:11.876 - The fund name and fund number do not match. So is this coming from CUME or is it coming from the bond? 00:10:11.876 --> 00:10:23.156 - If it's coming from CUME, that number is 1138. Okay. All right, 11. So I staff fund number. Please. 00:10:23.156 --> 00:10:29.022 - And with that revised number. Thank you. All right. 00:10:31.362 --> 00:10:37.598 - motion we have a second Mr. Crider tell us all about it.

Is this just something that it's just sunk? 00:11:31.547 --> 00:11:39.684 - Listen, and yeah, I actually have a lot of conversations about this subject with the maintenance over 00:11:39.684 --> 00:11:47.821 - there, David Gardner, and we were I was asking, we pump a lot of money into those chillers, you know, 00:11:47.821 --> 00:11:52.926 - and and to actually replace the chillers is a huge expense like 00:11:53.058 --> 00:12:01.767 - you know, pushing a million dollars kind of thing. So yeah. Between this and the following two, there's 00:12:01.767 --> 00:12:10.141 - like $45,000 more to keep the justice building limping along that that we wouldn't wouldn't want to 00:12:10.141 --> 00:12:18.933 - spend. Mine's mine's doing the same thing. So it's it's not I get the green light, but it's not plugging 00:12:18.933 --> 00:12:21.278 - into the internal audio. So 00:12:21.442 --> 00:12:30.002 - All right, so let's see if there's any public comment on this item. You raise your hand on teams or 00:12:30.002 --> 00:12:38.562 - come to the podium. It's not you, it's you. All right, seeing none, all those in favor of approving 00:12:38.562 --> 00:12:47.636 - the Herald Fish Inc.

This request is to 00:21:45.526 --> 00:21:51.993 - approve a change order to showers hardscape improvements contract with EMB paving in the amount of $3,840. 00:21:51.993 --> 00:21:58.460 - This is due to a change in the originally specified pavers and the addition of concrete curving to improve 00:21:58.460 --> 00:22:04.745 - edge definition and long-term performance of the permeable concrete paver system. So basically the ones 00:22:04.745 --> 00:22:07.102 - that were quoted weren't the permeable 00:22:07.618 --> 00:22:16.832 - the permeable ones have nubs on each end to allow that water to flow down into the French drain system 00:22:16.832 --> 00:22:25.867 - and not into the entry of the building. Sounds like a good change for a change order. Yeah. Comments 00:22:25.867 --> 00:22:34.812 - or questions, Commissioner Medeiro? None. I think I might need my edge definite. You're edgy. Yeah. 00:22:34.812 --> 00:22:37.406 - And we talked about the curb 00:22:37.858 --> 00:22:46.923 - Issue there right now because I know this won't be done until after early voting is completed or until 00:22:46.923 --> 00:22:55.989 - after the may election So there's going to be some sort of intermediate effort to try to get that trip 00:22:55.989 --> 00:23:03.998 - hazard taken care of About that those things trying to find a solution for that short term 00:23:06.434 --> 00:23:15.272 - some places and that's a real trip hazard. And all right, so thank you for working on that. I know I 00:23:15.272 --> 00:23:24.197 - appreciate it a lot. Thank you. All right, let's see if there's any public comments on this item.

We're going to be putting 00:24:37.414 --> 00:24:43.687 - the plan together, but it may, depending on funding, take years to correct that. We had a lot of heavy 00:24:43.687 --> 00:24:49.838 - equipment and heavy gravel going over there. Yes, we are getting a lot of calls from the public, and 00:24:49.838 --> 00:24:56.171 - we are aware there are holes there. Our staff keeps filling the holes with rocks, but that only usually 00:24:56.171 --> 00:24:57.694 - lasts about for 14 days. 00:24:57.986 --> 00:25:04.437 - The park board is going to consider many options. One of them would be taking that interior road back 00:25:04.437 --> 00:25:10.888 - to gravel for a while because that's how you have to put a new road on. You have to take the old off. 00:25:10.888 --> 00:25:17.465 - But we don't know what the options are. Forty thousand doesn't get you a whole lot. But in case there's 00:25:17.465 --> 00:25:22.398 - something really bad, that's how we're going to take care of a very bad hole. 00:25:27.970 --> 00:25:43.375 - None, thank you so much.

Yes, this is an on-call service. 00:27:27.010 --> 00:27:36.426 - We have commercial garage doors that are very expensive. One was stuck up last year, so we have a lot 00:27:36.426 --> 00:27:45.842 - of equipment we need to secure. It only makes sense if we get a high wind or tornado hits us. We need 00:27:45.842 --> 00:27:55.166 - to get our garage doors down. Well, hopefully when we approve this, things will look up.

I will second that. Ms. Whitmer. 00:28:33.090 --> 00:28:42.217 - This for a three-year agreement, and this is how we do all our online registrations, keep track 00:28:42.217 --> 00:28:51.914 - of everything. This is not the Cadillac of registrations, so we're being very conscientious about the 00:28:51.914 --> 00:28:56.478 - price, but this is what they cost. Three years. 00:29:00.930 --> 00:29:10.697 - that make everybody's time go much smoother, much more efficiently. So thank you very much. Let's see 00:29:10.697 --> 00:29:20.657 - if there's any public comment on this item. Raise your hand on teams.

We use Go Express 00:30:01.983 --> 00:30:08.977 - to go out of the county, for instance, the zoo, Blue Spring Caverns. So basically the kids are going 00:30:08.977 --> 00:30:15.903 - to the Bryant Park pool, they go skating, they might go to jump in joeys, whatever is real exciting 00:30:15.903 --> 00:30:20.958 - that day. But we need their transportation to get us and the kids there. 00:30:25.922 --> 00:30:36.941 - No, excellent, glad we can offer this programming and the transportation to it, thank you.

I will second that. Good 00:31:09.922 --> 00:31:18.398 - morning commissioners. Yes, so in response to the May 16 2025 tornado. As we know, there were several trees. 00:31:18.690 --> 00:31:25.210 - downed along Clear Creek. We assessed the damage and applied for funding through the Emergency Watershed 00:31:25.210 --> 00:31:31.482 - Protection Program. And due to the government shutdown last fall, we did not hear from USDA NRCS for 00:31:31.482 --> 00:31:38.001 - quite some time. But at the beginning of March, we did finally hear back from them that we were approved 00:31:38.001 --> 00:31:39.678 - for funding up to $65,000. 00:31:39.810 --> 00:31:51.845 - So a portion of that will be 75% of that will be paid by this funding Monroe County in partnership with 00:31:51.845 --> 00:32:04.227 - City Parks and Recreation Department is funding the rest of it Thank you for pulling that funding together 00:32:04.227 --> 00:32:06.078 - it's it's a lot 00:32:10.818 --> 00:32:18.623 - assistance on helping us with with getting this all sorted.

If and really showing leadership here, our employees are wonderful and lots of people ask, 00:32:25.849 --> 00:32:33.654 - you know, why do we need a stormwater department? And I think this is exactly why. So this is just awesome. 00:32:33.654 --> 00:32:40.158 - And this is a great example of city county partnership as well. So thank you. Good point. 00:32:40.802 --> 00:32:50.497 - Let's see if there's any public comment on teams or come to the podium. We have the surveyor on, Mr. 00:32:50.497 --> 00:33:00.287 - Enright Randolph. You may unmute. Well, once you're made presenter, you can unmute and you have three 00:33:00.287 --> 00:33:09.694 - minutes if you would. Yeah, I don't agree. I just also want to echo the collaborative efforts and 00:33:10.082 --> 00:33:18.336 - being able to get this project moving forward.

So again, I'm just really 00:33:26.833 --> 00:33:35.249 - excited about this. I wanted to express my full support. Much appreciate that. Any other public comment 00:33:35.249 --> 00:33:36.382 - on this item? 00:33:43.938 --> 00:33:55.275 - All those in favor of approving the emergency watershed protection program funding signify by saying 00:33:55.275 --> 00:34:06.948 - aye.

Fund named stormwater professional services funds number 00:34:06.948 --> 00:34:11.550 - 1197 in an amount not to exceed $42,000. 00:34:13.026 --> 00:34:19.891 - Yeah, so this task order is an amendment to one that was originally approved to initially take a look 00:34:19.891 --> 00:34:26.892 - at two county owned detention basins. They've done that work and now we know what work needs to be done 00:34:26.892 --> 00:34:33.690 - so they're putting together the plan for us to get that moving forward. We hope to move forward with 00:34:33.690 --> 00:34:40.286 - that and have that work completed this fall or first thing on the agenda for spring of next year. 00:34:45.090 --> 00:34:57.934 - just again appreciate the thoroughness. Thank you. While we're waiting, I'll note that this was already 00:34:57.934 --> 00:35:02.750 - also approved by the stormwater board. 00:35:06.818 --> 00:35:14.529 - Seeing none, all those in favor of approving the HNTB corporation amendment number one for task order 00:35:14.529 --> 00:35:22.316 - number two, signify by saying aye. Aye. Motion carries two zero. Item Q. I would like to move approval 00:35:22.316 --> 00:35:30.330 - for the HNTB corporation task order number three, fund name Stormwater Professional Services, fund number 00:35:30.330 --> 00:35:34.942 - 1197 in an amount not to exceed $25,000. I will second that. 00:35:37.186 --> 00:35:47.425 - So this is the task order to support us on our emergency watershed protection program funding, tracking 00:35:47.425 --> 00:35:57.271 - and submittals and all that. Oh, thank you. I don't either. Let's see if there's any public comment 00:35:57.271 --> 00:36:05.246 - on the site and you raise your hand in teams or come to the podium. Seeing none. 00:36:07.266 --> 00:36:16.371 - HNTB Corporation task order number three signify by saying aye. Aye. Motion carries to zero. And just 00:36:16.371 --> 00:36:25.118 - to confuse things more, next item. HNTB Corporation task order number five, fund named stormwater 00:36:25.118 --> 00:36:31.902 - professional services, fund number 1197 in an amount not to exceed $12,400. 00:36:36.418 --> 00:36:43.096 - So as part of our efforts to improve drainage around the county, we do have to do some resizing calculations 00:36:43.096 --> 00:36:49.346 - for some existing infrastructure and especially prior to repaving some of these streets that are part 00:36:49.346 --> 00:36:50.142 - of our CCMG. 00:36:50.338 --> 00:36:56.491 - paving projects. So on South Olivia Drive, we have a structure that we've tried to retrofit, expand 00:36:56.491 --> 00:37:02.768 - the opening, and it's just not adequate for the amount of drainage that's coming through it nowadays. 00:37:02.768 --> 00:37:09.106 - Maybe when it was initially installed, it worked, but we have to deal with what we've got. And so this 00:37:09.106 --> 00:37:15.998 - will help us know the sizing of that hard infrastructure to help carry the water to an existing detention area. 00:37:21.282 --> 00:37:32.084 - clear. It obviously protects people's homes, but it it maintains a roadway for longer as well in good 00:37:32.084 --> 00:37:42.992 - shape. So our crew will be able to put it in. All right, a public comment on this item, you raise your 00:37:42.992 --> 00:37:46.910 - hand in teams or come to the podium. 00:37:54.530 --> 00:38:03.825 - Seeing none, all those in favor of approving the HNTB Corporation task order number five, signify by 00:38:03.825 --> 00:38:13.027 - saying aye. Aye. Motion carries two zero. Thank you. Good seeing you. All right. Next item, please. 00:38:13.027 --> 00:38:22.874 - I believe Ms. Ridge is online. Regarding the storage of bridges, number 83 and number 913 at the Limestone 00:38:22.874 --> 00:38:24.254 - Greenway Park. 00:38:26.562 --> 00:38:40.183 - is rich. You got to unmute you have to try again. Good morning. So we have two bridge projects that 00:38:40.183 --> 00:38:55.166 - have still trust bridges on them. Bridge 83, which is Delman Road and bridge 913, which is business 37 North. 00:38:55.650 --> 00:39:03.200 - Both of these bridges are federal aid projects. We talked with Parks and Rec, I believe their parks 00:39:03.200 --> 00:39:10.826 - board voted last week to accept storing these two bridges when they are removed from the roadway for 00:39:10.826 --> 00:39:18.451 - future trail projects. This resolution is to commit to that, if you have any questions. Thank you so 00:39:18.451 --> 00:39:22.302 - much. Comments or questions? Commissioner Madeira? 00:39:24.578 --> 00:39:35.772 - That's pretty neat. Any public comment on this item? You raise your hand on teams or come to the podium. 00:39:35.772 --> 00:39:47.179 - Seeing none, all those in favor of approving resolution 2026-12 signify by saying aye. Aye. Motion carries 00:39:47.179 --> 00:39:52.510 - two zero. Thank you. Thank you. Next item please. 00:39:58.530 --> 00:40:07.886 - and Highway Appeal hearing schedule? Yes, as you guys are fully aware, you are responsible for hearing 00:40:07.886 --> 00:40:16.970 - and making decisions regarding township appeals, as well as highway appeals. You do have to respond 00:40:16.970 --> 00:40:22.238 - and hear the township appeals within 10 days. That is not 00:40:22.498 --> 00:40:29.589 - the same situation with the highway appeals. So I just wanna make sure that that's clear for everyone. 00:40:29.589 --> 00:40:36.680 - This document provides those hearing dates for both items, but what was referenced specifically to the 00:40:36.680 --> 00:40:43.771 - highway appeals and due to scheduling issues, when we start to get into the holiday season of November 00:40:43.771 --> 00:40:49.278 - and December, it becomes somewhat difficult to find a date that we can do these 00:40:49.410 --> 00:40:56.752 - hearings on. So what we've done is all of these hearings are generally on a Thursday with the exception 00:40:56.752 --> 00:41:04.023 - of December 2nd. And that's a Wednesday, which will be hearing only township appeals on that date. And 00:41:04.023 --> 00:41:11.295 - then the other one is Wednesday, December 30th. And again, that they will only be hearing the township 00:41:11.295 --> 00:41:15.742 - appeals on those dates. Great. Thank you so much, Mr. Cochran. 00:41:23.074 --> 00:41:33.504 - the day after Thanksgiving where the building's closed, those don't count towards that 10 day period. 00:41:33.504 --> 00:41:44.650 - How that map works. That helps a good deal. All right. Any comments or questions? I heard that. I appreciate 00:41:44.650 --> 00:41:52.830 - you working on this. I'm sorry, we didn't do it last year. We were supposed to. 00:41:52.994 --> 00:42:04.370 - I just flew under the radar. Any public comment on this item? All right, seeing none, all those in favor 00:42:04.370 --> 00:42:15.962 - of approving resolution 2026-08 signify by saying aye. Motion carries to zero.

There 00:42:59.515 --> 00:43:09.421 - are two Saturdays set aside for early voting, 9am to 4pm, and that is Saturday, April 25th, and Saturday, 00:43:09.421 --> 00:43:14.654 - May 2nd. Ms. Purdy, you have something you want to add? 00:43:17.410 --> 00:43:28.224 - from our assessor, and she is requesting that you guys appoint Linda Williamson to the Peter boa board. 00:43:28.224 --> 00:43:38.727 - Miss book Walter has had to step down. And it's a two year term, so it would end in December of. Can 00:43:38.727 --> 00:43:42.782 - we wait on that till our work session. 00:43:46.498 --> 00:43:55.708 - We do have a work session. All right. Let's see. Residents are encouraged to sign up for our 00:43:55.708 --> 00:44:06.206 - alert notification system. Go to in.gov slash county slash Monroe and sign up, please.

Please go to the calendar on our website. 00:44:15.746 --> 00:44:25.208 - to look for dates and times.
