00:00:44.588 --> 00:00:51.910

- item L will be the flock termination letter and item M will be the agreement with Midwest Salt LLC for

00:01:10.153 --> 00:01:21.438
- treated salt. That is on our work sessions. If you want to see it on the packet, it's there, but we

00:01:21.438 --> 00:01:27.870
- can move it into our regular session. So that is item M.

00:01:29.218 --> 00:01:37.085
- I get a second. Yes, I will second those items. Thank you. All right. All those in favor of amending

00:01:37.085 --> 00:01:44.875
- the agenda signify by saying aye. Aye. Motion carries to zero. I'll note for the record, I'm sorry,

00:01:44.875 --> 00:01:52.742
- I forgot to do this, that there's two of us present here in the NETU Hill Room, Commissioner Madeira

00:01:52.742 --> 00:01:58.974
- and myself, Commissioner Thomas. We will now move on to our department updates.

00:02:06.594 --> 00:02:13.380
- Good morning, commissioners. We are continuing to track cyclosporiasis cases. This is caused by a parasite,

00:02:13.380 --> 00:02:19.915
- and it can be treated with antibiotics. The Indiana Department of Health is providing total case counts

00:02:19.915 --> 00:02:26.325
- across the state on their website, which is available for the public. The Health Department still has

00:02:26.325 --> 00:02:32.734
- free COVID and flu tests available. You can walk in Monday through Friday from 8 to 4 for free tests.

00:02:33.186 --> 00:02:40.589
- and we are still scheduling for vaccines. You can call 812-803-6364 for an appointment. Thank you so

00:02:40.589 --> 00:02:48.286
- much. Do you have any questions or comments? No. And do we have any idea about what it's traced to other

00:02:48.286 --> 00:02:55.909
- than this lettuce? Right now, they're just advising to avoid bagged lettuces. OK. All right. Thank you.

00:02:55.909 --> 00:03:01.406
- Well, let us avoid them then. Ah, let us avoid them. All right. Thank you.

00:03:01.794 --> 00:03:11.212
- any other department updates? I'm sorry. Sure, yeah, I just kind of wanted to update you guys. We've

00:03:11.212 --> 00:03:21.003
- gotten I've gotten calls from Sheriff's Department. I believe you guys have discussed with the Sheriff's

00:03:21.003 --> 00:03:29.022
- Department about increase of activity with the at the Thompson site and it's becoming

00:03:30.210 --> 00:03:36.686
- I think they would say it's becoming more dangerous and more of a cause of a public safety concern.

00:03:36.686 --> 00:03:43.486
- We had some meetings and I think it would be important for you guys to know and if you agree to go ahead

00:03:43.486 --> 00:03:50.286
- and bless this is that we think we're going to have to do something with that property and we're working

00:03:50.286 --> 00:03:54.366
- with, you know, the sheriff and all the providers that we can.

00:03:54.786 --> 00:04:01.054
- We don't have a plan yet, we don't have a plan in place, but I think given the fact that you're not

00:04:01.054 --> 00:04:07.385
- having a meeting the next two weeks, we may need to act and begin the process formally prior to your

00:04:07.385 --> 00:04:13.717

00:06:24.142 --> 00:06:32.730

00:06:32.730 --> 00:06:40.030
- any public comment on this item. You raise your hand on teams or come to the podium.

00:06:49.378 --> 00:06:55.793
- Seeing none, all those in favor of approving the claim stock at accounts payable, July 23rd, and payroll,

00:06:55.793 --> 00:07:01.844
- July 24th, 2026, signify by saying aye. Aye. Motion carries to zero. Thank you. All right, we don't

00:07:01.844 --> 00:07:07.956
- have any reports, so we will move on to new business, please. Yes, I'd like to move approval for the

00:07:07.956 --> 00:07:14.250
- contract with Amergis to staff public health nurse positions, fund name, health fund, fund number 1159,

00:07:14.250 --> 00:07:16.126
- in an amount to be determined.

00:07:17.250 --> 00:07:24.515
- I will second that. Good morning, Ms. Kelly. So back in December of 2025, the Health Department discussed

00:07:24.515 --> 00:07:31.368
- with the Board of Health of using a contractual agency for contract nurses. So we are continuing to

00:07:31.368 --> 00:07:38.359
- receive applications for nurses in the medical assistant position. We are still doing interviews, but

00:07:38.359 --> 00:07:42.334
- one of the problems that we're running into is that while

00:07:42.946 --> 00:07:49.666
- the candidates will have years of experience, we can only offer that entry level rate right now. So

00:07:49.666 --> 00:07:56.654
- we want to look into using this agency to be able to find contract nurses that we can get in, hopefully

00:07:56.654 --> 00:08:03.845
- get them trained, have them working, and eventually be able to move them into a permanent county position.

00:08:03.845 --> 00:08:11.774
- Comments or questions? No, thank you for trying to fill these positions and taking whatever means necessary to do so.

00:08:12.162 --> 00:08:19.956
- So would the rate be lower or the same with this? So what we pay for an LPN, it's $55 per hour. And

00:08:19.956 --> 00:08:28.139
- then the RN would be 65. So they're actually employed through this staffing agency, stay on all of their

00:08:28.139 --> 00:08:36.088
- benefits. We just pay that rate. We're only paying for hours that they work. So when we're closed for

00:08:36.088 --> 00:08:41.310
- a holiday, for example, they simply just won't get paid that time.

00:08:41.410 --> 00:08:49.435
- I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Got it. Did you work with our our newer HR director to find the best agency to

00:08:49.435 --> 00:08:57.459
- use? Is that I have met with her and spoken with her a few times. This agency I actually came across

00:08:57.459 --> 00:09:05.802
- because Hamilton County Health Department uses this agency and they have been using them for five years.

00:09:05.802 --> 00:09:07.550
- To help support their

00:09:09.250 --> 00:09:25.444
- as Mel has experience with this. Trying to think of what we should do here because I feel like we should

00:09:25.444 --> 00:09:36.702
- have at least an HR review of this. But the problem is if that HR review

00:09:41.250 --> 00:09:48.783
- doesn't go as planned, we're not meeting the next two weeks. So I don't want to do approval. What kind

00:09:48.783 --> 00:09:56.169
- of review? Well, we do a contingent on HR review, but maybe we just need to be clear with HR that if

00:09:56.169 --> 00:10:03.555
- they have a suggestion for a different agency that we can then implement that later. So we can start

00:10:03.555 --> 00:10:06.846
- with one and then move to another. Yeah. OK.

00:10:07.106 --> 00:10:15.511
- So I'm going to make a motion to amend this to approval contingent on HR review with those copies. That

00:10:15.511 --> 00:10:23.673
- shouldn't slow you down at all. Even if we're not reading, you should be fine. And that's my motion.

00:10:23.673 --> 00:10:32.158
- Yes. So would you like to take a vote on the amendment first? Yeah, but I need a second. Second to that.

00:10:32.290 --> 00:10:39.252
- All right, so any comments on the amendment? No, no. Okay. Yeah, I just wanted to know what we were.

00:10:39.252 --> 00:10:46.145
- Yeah, so we're gonna put the second one. Yes. Yep, that's just on the amendment. Any public comment

00:10:46.145 --> 00:10:53.245
- just on the amendment? Raise your hand on teams or come to the podium. Seeing none, all those in favor

00:10:53.245 --> 00:11:00.276
- of amending the motion signify by saying aye. Aye. All right, motion carries two zero. So now this is

00:11:00.276 --> 00:11:02.206
- gonna be an amended motion.

00:11:02.338 --> 00:11:12.466
- any comments or questions on the amended motion now? Okay, I don't either. Let's see if there's any

00:11:12.466 --> 00:11:22.696
- public comment on the amended motion. You raise your hand on teams or come to the podium. All right,

00:11:22.696 --> 00:11:32.318
- seeing none, all those in favor of approving the amended agreement slash contract with emergis

00:11:32.418 --> 00:11:39.464
- to staff public health nurse position signify by saying aye. Aye. Motion carries two zero. And if you

00:11:39.464 --> 00:11:46.509
- could get those instructions Angie to be helpful. Thank you so much. Thank you. All right. Next item,

00:11:46.509 --> 00:11:53.486
- please. Yes, I'd like to move approval for the memorandum of understanding between the Monroe County

00:11:53.486 --> 00:12:00.670
- Clerk's Office and Rainbow Printing Fund Name Clerk election fund number 1215 in the amount of $18,550.

00:12:00.962 --> 00:12:09.825
- I will second that. Mr. Branham. Hi, there. Thank you so much. Good morning, commissioners. We are requesting

00:12:09.825 --> 00:12:17.881
- approval for this contract to cover services provided during the May 2026 primary. Rainbow Printing

00:12:17.881 --> 00:12:26.422
- provided postcards that were sent to registered voters informing them of their voter registration status.

00:12:26.422 --> 00:12:29.886
- OK. Do you have any questions or comments?

00:12:30.018 --> 00:12:39.289
- none um I think that this is uh self-explanatory so um so I had um a lot of questions about this because

00:12:39.289 --> 00:12:48.383
- this is a really unusual way for us to do things first of all after the fact um which is really um not

00:12:48.383 --> 00:12:57.566
- necessary it should have been done beforehand um so um unlike what we approved last week which was also

00:12:57.794 --> 00:13:05.751
- this is just for the primary is my understanding. Um, yes. So this is essentially kind of a part two

00:13:05.751 --> 00:13:13.628
- of what we did last week. We wanted to bring these together, but this one just didn't quite make it

00:13:13.628 --> 00:13:21.743
- so. Rainbow only provided these postcards during the primary. I expect all of our future mailings will

00:13:21.743 --> 00:13:26.942
- be able to be covered by Midwest, which is what we requested last

00:13:27.042 --> 00:13:36.598
- the general, the primary, excuse me. Yeah. So this is typically done as a contract in advance, not an

00:13:36.598 --> 00:13:46.247
- MOU after the fact. We have an invoice. I have an invoice. So this is a really unusual way, and I know

00:13:46.247 --> 00:13:51.774
- that you're kind of newer to county government, so I'm not

00:13:52.034 --> 00:13:59.041
- But I'm just stating it for the public's edification that this is not how we typically conduct business.

00:13:59.041 --> 00:14:06.114
- So just to kind of explain that. So typically the this kind of mailing would be covered under a different

00:14:06.114 --> 00:14:07.582
- line item. So we were

00:14:07.682 --> 00:14:13.398
- to cover it out of our supply line because they provided these postcards. And we didn't have enough

00:14:13.398 --> 00:14:19.229
- funds in our supply line, so originally we had just requested with the council to increase our supply

00:14:19.229 --> 00:14:25.173
- line to cover this bill just because we had a shortfall. And then we were informed that our supply line

00:14:25.173 --> 00:14:30.890
- was under the edit fund, and Molly Turner King suggested that this would be the preferable route to

00:14:30.890 --> 00:14:36.606
- go to cover this, doing it contractually rather than just doing it as a paying it out of one of our

00:14:36.606 --> 00:14:37.406
- normal lines.

00:14:40.674 --> 00:14:47.986
- I guess my one question would be, and what I meant self-explanatory, I meant following from what was

00:14:47.986 --> 00:14:55.515
- explained last week about the contractual arrangement. Because that's in the executive summary, I agree

00:14:55.515 --> 00:15:02.827
- it's highly unorthodox. And we want to pay people, ideally, beforehand. I just would hope that there

00:15:02.827 --> 00:15:09.342
- is some way to make this more efficient and to deal with this awkwardness moving forward.

00:15:09.442 --> 00:15:16.338
- as we discussed last week. And I think we all agree on that point. Absolutely. Yes. Yes. Yeah. It is

00:15:16.338 --> 00:15:23.644
- a transparency issue for the public because any comment that's made now is after the fact. Like we already

00:15:23.644 --> 00:15:30.540
- owe this money, right? So that's the issue. And it's better for the vendors too. Well, yeah, to know

00:15:30.540 --> 00:15:36.958
- they're going to get paid would be nice. And I get that it was a fairly unusual circumstance,

00:15:37.058 --> 00:15:43.953
- But hopefully, yes, this will be addressed with Midwest and then this will be dealt with in the future.

00:15:43.953 --> 00:15:50.318
- So that would be good. Thank you so much. Let's see if there's any public comment on this item.

00:15:50.318 --> 00:15:57.147
- Can't help it. We've already got filled, but you're welcome to comment. Raise your hand and teams come

00:15:57.147 --> 00:15:58.142
- to the podium.

00:16:06.018 --> 00:16:12.791
- Seeing none, all those in favor of approving the Memorandum of Understanding between Monroe County Clerk's

00:16:12.791 --> 00:16:19.247

00:16:32.222 --> 00:16:35.134
- and the amount of $1,500. I will second that.

00:16:35.394 --> 00:16:47.469
- Let's see, who do we have here to talk through this? Is this with the item C? Yes. Ms. McAfee should

00:16:47.469 --> 00:16:59.425
- be on, she sent me an email saying that she was having some difficulty. Should be on the... Is not.

00:16:59.425 --> 00:17:04.446
- Just send me a text, hang on, let me see.

00:17:05.762 --> 00:17:14.102
- All right. I'm having technical difficulties. Let me see what this is about. Well, I do have a question

00:17:14.102 --> 00:17:22.281
- about it. So I'm going to I'm going to move to table item C to the end of our agenda. Regular agenda.

00:17:22.281 --> 00:17:30.942
- It was like that. All right. Motion and a second to make a note so I don't forget. And we will now move on.

00:18:01.026 --> 00:18:15.621
- It is alphabet soup. I will second that. Now we're all hungry for alphabet soup. We have too many acronyms,

00:18:15.621 --> 00:18:30.622
- I think. TSD, if I could share my screen, that would be great. I'll be quick. Boom. That's showing up. OK. OK.

00:18:32.066 --> 00:18:37.705
- Okay. Hello, commissioners. Thanks for having us. Today I'm here for the enterprise license agreement

00:18:37.705 --> 00:18:43.454
- for our Esri, basically GIS software across the county. I prepared just a brief PowerPoint to show kind

- 2023 is when we first got our enterprise license agreement. What this does is allows us as the GIS division

00:18:55.064 --> 00:18:56.446
- to really kind of expand

00:18:56.514 --> 00:19:02.439
- not just what we can do providing with services, but also with licenses and different software and things

00:19:02.439 --> 00:19:08.084
- like that. So in 2023, before we had the enterprise license agreement with Esri, we had 16 total GIS

00:19:08.084 --> 00:19:11.550
- licenses across the county. Many of these were shared between

00:19:11.714 --> 00:19:16.416
- departmental employees and departments. We constantly had to change from somebody having a very basic

00:19:16.416 --> 00:19:21.302
- ESRI license to somebody having an advanced or a pro one. So it was a lot of kind of extra administrative

00:19:21.302 --> 00:19:26.189
- work. We also had kind of a limited user base across the county and we didn't really have a public facing

00:19:26.189 --> 00:19:30.937
- website. We had a couple of public facing applications, but they were limited and kind of hard to find

00:19:30.937 --> 00:19:34.302
- with the exception of the survey utility, which is still going on today.

00:19:34.722 --> 00:19:39.956
- Where we are currently, since we've gotten the enterprise license agreement, we've expanded our GIS

00:19:39.956 --> 00:19:45.399
- users kind of extremely across the county. We've also included new personnel within the county as well.

00:19:45.399 --> 00:19:50.685
- So we were able to establish a new GIS technician position, which really has foundationally assisted

00:19:50.685 --> 00:19:53.982
- myself as a coordinator, as well as just GIS users in general.

00:19:54.626 --> 00:19:59.594
- We have somewhat unlimited licensing, and this is one of those things that not saying that's a great

00:19:59.594 --> 00:20:04.709
- thing if you, you know, if you have unlimited licensing, are you ever going to use it so but we do have

00:20:04.709 --> 00:20:09.922
- we're meeting all of our licensing right now. We also have a public facing website that's had over 63,000

00:20:09.922 --> 00:20:15.037
- hits over the past two years right so we're getting lots of traffic and people are enjoying this across

00:20:15.037 --> 00:20:17.054
- the county, as well as at a state level.

00:20:17.186 --> 00:20:22.202
- We're also continuing to grow and provide more public facing and transparent applications. And we're

00:20:22.202 --> 00:20:27.466
- seeing a growing departmental usage as well across the county. So lots of departments that weren't online

00:20:27.466 --> 00:20:32.532
- with GIS are now utilizing it and contacting us for support. Our website as well, when you see it, we

00:20:32.532 --> 00:20:37.598
- have numerous different public facing web applications. On the top left there, you see our safe place

00:20:37.598 --> 00:20:42.763
- viewer and locator that's with you services. We have a national land cover data set, American community

00:20:42.763 --> 00:20:43.806
- survey, parcel data,

00:20:44.098 --> 00:20:49.390
- community resources, including the survey utility fairly popular one that we established recently is

00:20:49.390 --> 00:20:54.996
- our storm dashboard social vulnerability index and different. roads at the highway departments maintaining

00:20:54.996 --> 00:21:00.549
- we also one of the departments that has come on board and done a tremendous job as the health department,

00:21:00.549 --> 00:21:03.326
- and this is from us, providing some assistance with.

00:21:03.394 --> 00:21:09.935
- them learning GIS and things like that but a lot of their own initiative with food locations ticks and

00:21:09.935 --> 00:21:16.731
- radon testing as well so we're getting great feedback from that and then finally our work with the clerk's

00:21:16.731 --> 00:21:23.145
- office in the voter registration office as well we've been able to do live election reporting across

00:21:23.145 --> 00:21:29.496
- Monroe County. We've won back to back to back state level awards for excellence in GIS as well as a

00:21:29.496 --> 00:21:32.862
- special achievement in GIS in 2024 2025 and 2026. So

00:21:33.250 --> 00:21:38.476
- This enterprise license agreement is going to allow us to kind of continue to expand and develop GIS

00:21:38.476 --> 00:21:43.806
- across the county. It's going to allow us to sustain our current initiatives and goals and also reduce

00:21:43.806 --> 00:21:49.084
- dependencies on outside contracts, which is going to be a fiscally responsible thing for us to try to

00:21:49.084 --> 00:21:54.310
- continue to do for the county. So that's what I have here for you guys in terms of what we're hoping

00:21:54.310 --> 00:21:59.070
- will happen with this approval. So thanks. Great. Thank you so much. Comments or questions?

00:21:59.234 --> 00:22:05.968
- No, what I always feel very grateful for is the level of information and transparency. And I'm just

00:22:05.968 --> 00:22:13.039
- grateful for your office, too, because in terms of technology, I think you are one of the offices within

00:22:13.039 --> 00:22:19.840
- county government that brings the most to residents. I don't know how many times I get inquiries and

00:22:19.840 --> 00:22:26.574
- can refer them. Yeah. So thank you so much for everything you bring. Thanks. And I'll say that this

00:22:26.574 --> 00:22:28.190
- is our office, but it's

00:22:28.386 --> 00:22:34.975
- it's very much dependent on the support we've gotten from TSD as well as the surveyors. Absolutely.

00:22:34.975 --> 00:22:41.696
- Yeah. It's a great, great teamwork. Yeah. Thank you. And just to verify, TSD has reviewed this and is

00:22:41.696 --> 00:22:48.285
- fine with this because we- That is correct. I've been through the process with the surveyor and Mr.

00:22:48.285 --> 00:22:55.006
- Dr. Baten here. We've worked closely with this company. They're a good company to work with. This has

00:22:55.006 --> 00:22:56.126
- all been vetted.

00:22:56.514 --> 00:23:01.944
- I know people are starting to notice, but I'd really like to put out, I've really seen this GIS program

00:23:01.944 --> 00:23:07.321
- develop here over the last several years, thanks to the hard work of Dr. Baten and Mr. Tron in, right?

00:23:07.321 --> 00:23:12.751
- We are leaps and bounds ahead of where we are. I appreciate their tenacity in trying to figure out what

00:23:12.751 --> 00:23:18.181
- we can do with these things to better advance us and the more tools we can have, the more they're gonna

00:23:18.181 --> 00:23:23.350
- be able to do us. So I appreciate the support from them. Thanks. Yeah, I appreciate it. Thank you.

00:23:23.350 --> 00:23:24.446
- Thank you, Mr. Crum.

00:23:24.770 --> 00:23:33.076
- of the sixty three thousand hits I probably had five thousand of them but. But you know I. Since you're

00:23:33.076 --> 00:23:41.143
- here I do want to thank you again for your help with putting together our G. I. S. survey of all the

00:23:41.143 --> 00:23:46.814
- properties we look at for the justice center you pulled that together.

00:23:47.074 --> 00:23:53.661
- very quickly for us we had a discussion like yep we want to add floodways and I had a draft email and

00:23:53.661 --> 00:24:00.183
- then I got your email it's like oh it's already done so I mean yes yes yes yes you're amazing yes so

00:24:00.183 --> 00:24:06.770
- thank you um thank you you really just it really means a lot and I know that as we've had discussions

00:24:06.770 --> 00:24:13.357
- about our potential stormwater long range plan one of the things we've talked about is the importance

00:24:13.357 --> 00:24:15.294
- of creating a great dashboard

00:24:15.650 --> 00:24:24.265
- related to stormwater, and I know we're going to lean on you happily for that. So thank you. Appreciate

00:24:24.265 --> 00:24:32.715
- you. All right. Let's see if there's any public comment on this item. You raise your hand on teams or

00:24:32.715 --> 00:24:41.330
- come to the podium. Get into that. Pick GIS and start counting ticks. That's the kind of ticks you want

00:24:41.330 --> 00:24:44.478
- to count. Yes, those ticks are, yeah.

00:24:44.674 --> 00:24:51.837
- All right. Seeing no public comment, all those in favor of approving the Esri ArcGIS three-year enterprise

00:24:51.837 --> 00:24:58.129
- license agreement renewal signified by saying aye. Aye. Motion carries 2-0. Great. Thank you.

00:24:58.129 --> 00:25:04.890
- Thank you, sir. You have no idea of the amount of people who have actually reached out and said they

00:25:04.890 --> 00:25:11.450
- love that map, too. It's so helpful. Yeah. Yes. I wish I'd thought of it sooner. Yes, absolutely.

00:25:11.450 --> 00:25:13.726
- Great tool. Thank you. All right.

00:25:14.466 --> 00:25:22.245
- Let's see. So we have Mr. Cockrell, can we take the four ARPA items together? Yes, they're all related.

00:25:22.245 --> 00:25:29.875
- Yes. Could you make a motion that combines the four ARPA items? I will. I can't promise I can do them

00:25:29.875 --> 00:25:36.382
- all in one breath, but I can do them. OK. So I would like to move approval for item E.

00:25:36.482 --> 00:25:44.638
- I'd like to move approval for item F, ARPA item number 12, fund name American Rescue Plan Act Fund,

00:25:44.638 --> 00:25:52.875
- fund number 8950, in an amount re-obligating within the $28,830,982 award. I'd like to move approval

00:25:52.875 --> 00:26:01.194
- for item F, ARPA item number two, Monroe Fire Protection District Contract, addendum number one, fund

00:26:01.194 --> 00:26:05.598
- name American Rescue Plan Act Fund, fund number 8950,

00:26:05.922 --> 00:26:15.784
- Yes, $1,417,970, which is an increase of $200,000. I'd like to move approval for item G, or item number

00:26:15.784 --> 00:26:25.457
- three, septic replacement contract addendum two, fund name American Rescue Plan Act Fund, fund number

00:26:25.457 --> 00:26:32.190
- 8950, in an amount total of $947,426, which is a decrease of $252,000.

00:26:32.290 --> 00:26:40.780
- $712.91, and I'd like to move approval for ARPA item number four, ARPA Airport Contract Addendum Number

00:26:40.780 --> 00:26:49.269
- One, Fund Name American Rescue Plan Act Fund, Fund Number 8950, an amount total of $5,092,308.28, which

00:26:49.269 --> 00:26:57.595
- is an increase of $15,225.41. I will second that. Thank you for reading all of those into the record.

00:26:57.595 --> 00:27:00.126
- I appreciate it. Ms. Woodruff.

00:27:01.154 --> 00:27:06.174
- Good morning. We have these four items.

00:27:06.306 --> 00:27:12.385
- And this shouldn't be anything new. So this just aligns the county's paperwork with the decisions that

00:27:12.385 --> 00:27:18.642
- were made by the council and the commissioners to kind of rearrange those ARPA dollars within our current

00:27:18.642 --> 00:27:24.544
- obligation. The ARPA plan is a requirement that we are expected to have for the federal government.

00:27:24.544 --> 00:27:30.447
- You can see that the only thing updated with that is just the table reorganizing the amounts within

00:27:30.447 --> 00:27:35.582
- the plan. And then we have three contractual adjustments that need to be made as well.

00:27:37.666 --> 00:27:49.303
- Great, thank you so much. We've already gone through this information before, but these are all the

00:27:49.303 --> 00:28:01.988
- adjustments to the ARPA plan that then gets submitted into the Fed registry, whatever it's called, database.

00:28:01.988 --> 00:28:06.526
- And a reminder that the septic program

00:28:06.658 --> 00:28:18.673
- was not going to be able to install. It's not that we don't have a need, because we do. It was not going

00:28:18.673 --> 00:28:30.573
- to be able to install enough septics to meet the deadline. And we had other items that were where there

00:28:30.573 --> 00:28:36.638
- was a need. And we are going to address those needs.

00:28:37.058 --> 00:28:48.831
- i don't um we also we also voted to allocate money um or first farm so that's gonna be due uh ledger

00:28:48.831 --> 00:29:01.886
- correction so the contract has already been approved okay so that's just that doesn't have to be voted on again

00:29:02.146 --> 00:29:08.411
- Yes. And you'll notice the jail contract also isn't in here. And that's because it came in under. So

00:29:08.411 --> 00:29:14.862
- we don't have to go back to that contractor and request them to amend that. Perfect. Thank you so much.

00:29:14.862 --> 00:29:21.189
- I just want to make sure I'm spinning all the plates appropriately and not dropping it. OK. Good. No.

00:29:21.189 --> 00:29:27.454
- Nope. OK. Any public comment on these items? You can raise your hand on Teams or come to the podium.

00:29:35.266 --> 00:29:43.470
- All those in favor of approving ARPA items one, two, three, and four. See how easy that was. Signified

00:29:43.470 --> 00:29:51.834
- by saying aye. Aye. Motion carries to zero. I get the easy job. Thank you. All right. Thank you so much.

00:29:51.834 --> 00:30:00.197
- Thank you. All right. Next item, please. Yes, I would like to approve ordinance 2026-25 to amend various

00:30:00.197 --> 00:30:01.790
- traffic ordinances.

00:30:03.234 --> 00:30:10.061
- I will second that. Yeah, you get the you get the short one after all that. All right, Mr. Cockroach

00:30:10.061 --> 00:30:17.159
- is managing this today because Miss Bridge is not here. Yes, and I will do my best. This is an ordinance

00:30:17.159 --> 00:30:24.595
- and this has gone through the Traffic Commission and everything had passed the Traffic Commission unanimously

00:30:24.595 --> 00:30:31.422
- on July 15th. This is reading deleting the no parking locations on Deerlick Rd from Pine Grove Rd to

00:30:31.618 --> 00:30:42.705
- We are going to add the following no parking locations, which is all of that road. Dear Lick Road. And,

00:30:42.705 --> 00:30:53.473
- um, Mammy Eads Road. And then we're deleting the 40 mile per hour locations on Kirksville Road. From

00:30:53.473 --> 00:30:58.910
- Harmony Road to 300 feet west of bridge number 68.

00:30:59.426 --> 00:31:06.961
- And we're also deleting the 35 mile per hour location on Kirkwood Loads from 300 feet west of bridge

00:31:06.961 --> 00:31:14.495
- 68 to Heinz Road. And we're going to delete the following 30 mile per hour locations. Dearlich Road,

00:31:14.495 --> 00:31:22.030
- Jeremy Drive Road, Nicole Drive Road, Ron Bailey Road, Ron Bailey Drive, excuse me, and Viola Drive.

00:31:22.030 --> 00:31:27.774
- Those are, we're deleting them for the 30 mile an hour because we're putting

00:31:28.418 --> 00:31:35.462
- them as a 25 mile per hour roads. And now that Kirksville Road we deleted is because we're making the

00:31:35.462 --> 00:31:42.713
- entire Kirksville Road 35 miles per hour. There you go. See, I always thought, yeah, there's a lot here.

00:31:42.713 --> 00:31:49.756
- There's a lot here. Any comments or questions? Make it a tough question for Jeff because this is his.

00:31:49.756 --> 00:31:51.966
- Why is it called Deerlick Road?

00:31:52.162 --> 00:32:13.057
- I'm happy to do this I know that sometimes parking around some areas of yes of woods can be. Tricky

00:32:13.057 --> 00:32:19.326
- for residents when there are.

00:32:19.458 --> 00:32:26.817
- walking through properties, et cetera. So I'm happy to do this. And I know this went to the Traffic

00:32:26.817 --> 00:32:34.175
- Commission for approval. Do you have any questions? No, no, no, no, none. This makes perfect sense.

00:32:34.175 --> 00:32:41.534
- Yeah. Okay. So any public comment on this item? You raise your hand on teams or come to the podium.

00:32:50.274 --> 00:33:00.079
- All those in favor of approving ordinance 2026-25 to amend various traffic ordinances, signify by saying

00:33:00.079 --> 00:33:09.790
- aye. Aye. Motion carries 2-0. All right. Next we have, I'd like to move approval for Ordinance 2026-23,

00:33:09.790 --> 00:33:20.062
- Tabor Owens Rezone on SR, on State Route 45. And again, another short one. Yeah, I will second that. We have,

00:33:20.162 --> 00:33:41.186
- Ray Devaya, who is one of our newer planners, presenting this. Hello, good evening. Hello. Sorry. It's

00:33:41.186 --> 00:33:48.126
- hard to share on the screen here.

00:33:59.458 --> 00:34:06.341
- Can you all see it? We can. Thank you so much. All right. Good evening. I'll be discussing ordinance

00:34:06.341 --> 00:34:13.360
- 2026-23, which is a rezone petition to change the zoning of the subject property from limited business

00:34:13.360 --> 00:34:14.110
- to general

00:34:20.642 --> 00:34:25.936
- to allow the petitioner to pursue a use that is not permitted in the limited business zoning district

00:34:25.936 --> 00:34:31.489
- that uses restaurant fast casual. If approved for the rezone by the board of commissioners, the petitioner

00:34:31.489 --> 00:34:36.731
- intends to apply for their drive-through as an accessory use component for the development, which is

00:34:36.731 --> 00:34:42.025
- permitted as a conditional use in the general business zoning district. The petitioner will then have

00:34:42.025 --> 00:34:47.371
- to apply for a site plan certified by a licensed surveyor and or engineer, and if necessary, apply for

00:34:47.371 --> 00:34:50.174
- any applicable variances, grading permits, et cetera.

00:34:50.690 --> 00:34:58.041
- The petition site at 3695 West State Road 45 contains road footage on West State Road 45, which serves

00:34:58.041 --> 00:35:05.820
- as the primary access point to the lot that was formerly utilized as a business called mobile home hardware,

00:35:05.820 --> 00:35:12.957
- which is, I still believe, in the process of being relocated. The adjacent properties to the north,

00:35:12.957 --> 00:35:18.238
- east, and south are all zoned general business, and the adjacent property

00:35:18.466 --> 00:35:25.942
- the west is in the city of Bloomington's purview and his own mixed use medium scale. The petition site

00:35:25.942 --> 00:35:33.199
- contains two access points via existing driveway addresses along State Road 45 which are maintained

00:35:33.199 --> 00:35:40.675
- by the Indiana Department of Transportation. We have comments from the Highway Department stating that

00:35:40.675 --> 00:35:43.070
- you know as NDOT maintains those

00:35:44.226 --> 00:35:52.200
- that road that they really don't have any comment on as far as no maintenance, but the petitioner did

00:35:52.200 --> 00:36:00.251
- indicate that NDOT would not review the driveway permits unless the rezoned petition was approved. The

00:36:00.251 --> 00:36:08.303
- adjacent site to the petition to the subject property is a Walmart Supercenter. Stormwater program has

00:36:08.303 --> 00:36:12.446
- indicated that they will have to meet more stringent

00:36:12.674 --> 00:36:20.078
- release rates and as well as meeting the requirements set forth in chapter 761. Things to note are that

00:36:20.078 --> 00:36:27.269
- the property is serviced by public utilities including water, sewer, gas and electric and that there

00:36:27.269 --> 00:36:34.602
- are two bus stops in the vicinity located to the northeast and southwest of the lot. Another important

00:36:34.602 --> 00:36:39.870
- thing to note is that the rezone will increase the permitted uses from 60

00:36:40.514 --> 00:36:47.355
- to 85, so 60 permitted uses in the limited business zoning district and 85 in the general business zoning

00:36:47.355 --> 00:36:54.196
- district. So here are the definitions of both limited business and general business per the Monroe County

00:36:54.196 --> 00:37:00.908
- development ordinance, as well as the definition of restaurant fast catering. And here's the definition

00:37:00.908 --> 00:37:03.102
- of drive through as an accessory.

00:37:06.882 --> 00:37:13.343
- So this is a snippet from the use table in the Monroe County Development Ordinance. As you can see on

00:37:13.343 --> 00:37:20.057
- the top table that the restaurant fast calories is not permitted in the limited business zoning district,

00:37:20.057 --> 00:37:26.582
- but it is permitted in the general business zoning district. And in the bottom table, you can see that

00:37:26.582 --> 00:37:31.966
- both zoning districts permit drive-through as an accessory use as a conditional use.

00:37:32.610 --> 00:37:40.126
- Big thing to note here on these tables, I mean, on these maps are on the right map, you see the red

00:37:40.126 --> 00:37:47.793
- around the subject property, that's the general business zoning district, and the pink is the limited

00:37:47.793 --> 00:37:55.761
- business zoning district. So as you can see, most of the surrounding properties are also zoned at general

00:37:55.761 --> 00:38:01.022
- business. There's a site conditions map outlining the site conditions

00:38:01.410 --> 00:38:10.746
- There's not a lot of course features, but as you can see in the next picture that many improvements

00:38:10.746 --> 00:38:20.550
- have been made to that site from 2005 to 2025. More likely due to that Walmart Supercenter being located

00:38:20.550 --> 00:38:29.886
- to the east. Other site conditions map. And here is a photo from Eagle View that shows the property

00:38:30.210 --> 00:38:38.512
- from the north and from the west. You can see the parking area there. And here's a couple of photos

00:38:38.512 --> 00:38:46.813
- of the bus stops in the vicinity to the southwest and to the northeast. The one to the right is the

00:38:46.813 --> 00:38:55.198
- one on the northeast. The one to the left is the one on the southwest, as indicated in these photos.

00:38:57.442 --> 00:39:04.394
- As you can see, there are some minor changes that the rezone will have on the effect of the dimensional

00:39:04.394 --> 00:39:11.347
- standards that are outlined below. The significant ones are really the change in the maximum impervious

00:39:11.347 --> 00:39:18.165
- cover and the critical watershed, which this property is located in, as well as the max height of the

00:39:18.165 --> 00:39:24.382
- primary structure and accessory structure. Here are the comments from the other departments.

00:39:26.658 --> 00:39:36.323
- and here's the staff recommendation. I will now take any questions. Thank you so much. Do you have any

00:39:36.323 --> 00:39:45.706
- questions? Oh, thank you so much for the comprehensive explanation. One of the things that came up,

00:39:45.706 --> 00:39:55.934
- I just want to mention this, one of the things that came up during our Plan Commission discussion related to

00:39:56.034 --> 00:40:06.208
- the in dot in the driveway because because that driveway will go on to a state road. But they have to

00:40:06.208 --> 00:40:17.080
- see that this petition was approved first before they consider that. But that's why there was one abstention

00:40:17.080 --> 00:40:25.758
- because they thought something should be in here. And this do we know yet the sidewalk

00:40:25.954 --> 00:40:38.182
- they will have to have a sidewalk, but we don't know yet whether it's in dot or the city that has to

00:40:38.182 --> 00:40:48.958
- permit that. Um, I believe that, um, it might be, I'm not entirely sure. Okay. Okay. Oh,

00:40:50.498 --> 00:40:59.577
- planning director is online and has raised her hand. So I'm going to go to her. Sorry to ask you a tough

00:40:59.577 --> 00:41:08.310
- question. It was not expected. Ms. Nestor Jelen back from leave. Welcome back. Hello. Hi. Thank you.

00:41:08.310 --> 00:41:17.822
- So the road frontage is in dot maintained and the site plan would require the sidewalk. So if in that doesn't

00:41:18.178 --> 00:41:24.841
- permit us to require them a sidewalk, they'll be getting a variance. Got it. Perfect. Thank you. I just

00:41:24.841 --> 00:41:31.504
- wanted that clarified. I know it was kind of a little technical question that we had. Thank you so much

00:41:31.504 --> 00:41:38.296
- for jumping on. Appreciate it. Awesome. All right. Let's see if there's anyone here or online that wishes

00:41:38.296 --> 00:41:44.190
- to speak in favor of this petition. You may raise your hand on Teams or come to the podium.

00:41:48.898 --> 00:41:56.799
- Is there anyone who wishes to speak in opposition to this petition? You may raise your hand on teams

00:41:56.799 --> 00:42:04.779
- or come to the podium. Seeing none, any general public comments? We are happy to see another business

00:42:04.779 --> 00:42:12.524
- going in there. It's really good to not have a vacant business, especially in that location. Yeah,

00:42:12.524 --> 00:42:14.558
- it's busy, so very smart.

00:42:14.690 --> 00:42:23.537
- All right. We don't see any public comment. Do you have anything else? Any other commentary before we

00:42:23.537 --> 00:42:32.644
- move on? Okay. Seeing no comments. All those in favor of approving ordinance 2026-23 signified by saying

00:42:32.644 --> 00:42:42.185
- aye. Aye. Motion carries to zero. Thank you, everyone. Thank you, Mr. DeVio for your presentation. Appreciate

00:42:42.185 --> 00:42:43.486
- it. All right.

00:42:44.802 --> 00:43:00.840
- So next on our agenda is the review on the Form 144s. Nope, I said we're putting it at the end of the

00:43:00.840 --> 00:43:12.318
- agenda. Oh, sorry. So yeah. The 2027 Form 144s are the salaries for each

00:43:15.714 --> 00:43:30.557
- And this is a standard- letter that we get and we're asked to respond- and we. Have come up with a response-

00:43:30.557 --> 00:43:43.358
- that includes the following and I will just read into the record but we will make this into a

00:43:43.586 --> 00:43:50.336
- We appreciate the council's commitment to ensure that all Monroe County employees are paid equitably

00:43:50.336 --> 00:43:57.554
- and adequately, reflecting the current local employment market and local cost of living. We also understand

00:43:57.554 --> 00:44:04.371
- the fiscal pressures facing county government, boy do we ever. The state, that's my, sorry. The state

00:44:04.371 --> 00:44:09.918
- budget agency issued a growth quotient six year increase in non-farm income of 6%.

00:44:10.050 --> 00:44:17.852
- While not all county employee wages are derived from property tax revenue, the growth quotient represents

00:44:17.852 --> 00:44:25.875
- an increase in tax revenue for the county. We recommend a salary increase of 6% for Monroe County employees.

00:44:25.875 --> 00:44:33.236
- As a note as well, the consumer price index increased 5% in the Midwest between May of 2025 and May

00:44:33.236 --> 00:44:39.198
- of 2026, which demonstrates the impact of inflation on our employees' paychecks.

00:44:39.330 --> 00:44:46.689
- So, in sum, we recommend that the council provide an increase for all employees, except those who have

00:44:46.689 --> 00:44:54.334
- statutorily mandated salaries of six percent. We ask the council to ensure relevant salaries for employees

00:44:54.334 --> 00:45:01.622
- who hold similar positions at the City of Bloomington and Monroe County are made equitable. Eight, we

00:45:01.622 --> 00:45:04.766
- recommend that the council continue to work

00:45:05.026 --> 00:45:13.068
- toward pay equity and to ensure all full-time county employees earn a living wage. Are you fine with

00:45:13.068 --> 00:45:21.269
- that language? Do you have anything you want to add? Any comments? Nope. I think that pretty much sums

00:45:21.269 --> 00:45:29.470
- it up. Pay equity is a wonderful thing. Yeah. All right. So I'm going to make a motion to approve this

00:45:29.470 --> 00:45:32.894
- letter for council, which we will then get

00:45:34.658 --> 00:45:42.685
- run up and sign hopefully today and we'll present it to council or at least send it to them. I'm not

00:45:42.685 --> 00:45:51.109
- sure if we have to present it formally. So that's my motion. I second that. All right. Any public comment

00:45:51.109 --> 00:45:52.222
- on this item?

00:46:04.802 --> 00:46:12.501
- Good morning, officially. I've been here through the meeting. I just wanted to express my gratitude

00:46:12.501 --> 00:46:20.584
- of referring to the equitable pay with the city. There's various jobs that it impacts. We've been seeing

00:46:20.584 --> 00:46:28.976
- that in planning, which I serve on the Plan Commission and also collaborate extensively with other projects.

00:46:28.976 --> 00:46:34.750
- There's other areas or sectors, if you will, of government that, you know,

00:46:35.330 --> 00:46:42.455
- kind of have that overlap. GIS is one of them as well. And I think whatever we can do to make sure that

00:46:42.455 --> 00:46:49.648
- we're not competing with the city for qualified employees is great. I know it's a very challenging time.

00:46:49.648 --> 00:46:56.567
- And unless you kind of mentioned that in your motion today, I wasn't gonna come and speak, but since

00:46:56.567 --> 00:47:03.966
- you did, I just wanted to come and express my support and just talk about how we've already seen it happen.

00:47:04.546 --> 00:47:11.408
- I've seen it happen internally too, but we have our procedures to go through to kind of rebalance that.

00:47:11.408 --> 00:47:18.006
- And I've had to do that once before because people were competing for internal roles that come with

00:47:18.006 --> 00:47:24.735
- the same skill sets and expertise. So again, I'm really happy that you brought this up and it's going

00:47:24.735 --> 00:47:28.958
- to be a very challenging thing to address moving forward. Yeah.

00:47:29.154 --> 00:47:37.692
- It absolutely is. And yes, planning has been impacted by this. And I would say policing has been impacted

00:47:37.692 --> 00:47:45.021
- by this. And so we have to make sure that we have established ourselves in a way that puts

00:47:45.021 --> 00:47:52.753
- us in a competitive position because we lose talent and experience and that's not a good thing.

00:47:52.753 --> 00:47:57.022
- So thank you. Any other public comment on this item?

00:48:00.706 --> 00:48:11.785
- So hopefully county employees will watch the county council's budget sessions and find the time. I know

00:48:11.785 --> 00:48:22.439
- time is short, but find the time to come in and offer comment or send emails to the council if they

00:48:22.439 --> 00:48:29.470
- support this idea. All right. All those in favor of approving the

00:48:29.986 --> 00:48:36.631
- 44 letter content signified by saying aye. Aye. Motion carries to zero. Just to duck in there real quick

00:48:36.631 --> 00:48:43.214
- and say, you know, we know that there's sometimes other outside processes that affect salaries as well.

00:48:43.214 --> 00:48:49.669
- Sure. But, um, but I think too, especially there's so many outside externalities that are taking, uh,

00:48:49.669 --> 00:48:53.150
- boy that's redundant. Um, you know, driving everything

00:48:53.410 --> 00:49:00.809
- up that I think it's especially important for counties to stand up for their employees and uh and cities

00:49:00.809 --> 00:49:08.209
- too right but uh but yes and while we know that there was a WIS review it it doesn't necessarily balance

00:49:08.209 --> 00:49:15.396
- us locally it's just a statewide review of job descriptions but it doesn't provide that local balance

00:49:15.396 --> 00:49:21.950
- that we really need because this is the real world so yeah right it was what three years ago

00:49:22.338 --> 00:49:29.518
- Yeah. All right. Yeah. We don't want the county to become like sort of the ugly stepchild. Yeah. Yeah.

00:49:29.518 --> 00:49:36.769
- All right. So now we will move on to one of the and I'm going to have to add another item to our agenda

00:49:36.769 --> 00:49:43.740
- at the end. So sorry. This is just this is what happens when. Yes. Like it's crazy. Okay. So to say

00:49:43.740 --> 00:49:51.129
- that's that's always the case, by the way. Yeah. No, it never is that way. Any other day. No, just today.

00:49:51.129 --> 00:49:51.966
- Just today.

00:49:52.194 --> 00:50:01.270
- I want that ugly stepchild category. We don't want it to fall farther. We don't want that distance to

00:50:01.270 --> 00:50:10.258
- open up. I just wanted to be sure where my comment was in reference to. But crazy days, too. I mean,

00:50:10.258 --> 00:50:19.245
- we don't ever have those. I'm going to make a motion to submit a letter to the Flock Group, which is

00:50:19.245 --> 00:50:21.470
- the license plate reader

00:50:21.730 --> 00:50:31.194
- company to approve a letter of termination dated today. Yes, you can get a second on that. Mr. Cockrell.

00:50:31.194 --> 00:50:40.297
- Yes, I think you had received a request from the public to look at this contract. I can tell you the

00:50:40.297 --> 00:50:49.311
- contract was approved in September of 2021 for two years with an automatic renewal of an additional

00:50:49.311 --> 00:50:50.302
- two years.

00:50:50.658 --> 00:50:58.846
- every so often, or every two years. So it will go into perpetuation, which would have this contract

00:50:58.846 --> 00:51:07.770
- terminate in September of 2027. If you would want to wait till September of 2027 to terminate this contract,

00:51:07.770 --> 00:51:16.122
- you could. If you do it immediately, then there are some costs associated with that. Namely, we would

00:51:16.122 --> 00:51:19.806
- reimburse the company up to $500 per camera.

00:51:19.906 --> 00:51:31.715
- for the removal for their cost of removing the camera. So it's my understanding there are six. So it

00:51:31.715 --> 00:51:44.108
- would be a potential cost of $3,000. Thank you. Several. So I think it is $3,000 well spent. I appreciate

00:51:44.108 --> 00:51:47.966
- the advocacy of the citizens who

00:51:48.162 --> 00:51:57.614
- spoke before the city on this issue. And I think that it would be worth paying that $3,000 as a county.

00:51:57.614 --> 00:52:07.338
- And I'm concerned about the implications for this contract as a county. And so I would support terminating

00:52:07.338 --> 00:52:16.790
- this contract. And this is the sheriff's contract, FYI. And it is something that we approved many, many

00:52:16.790 --> 00:52:17.790
- years ago.

00:52:17.890 --> 00:52:27.662
- And it has helped reduce crime. It has helped them find people who are missing. It has helped them track

00:52:27.662 --> 00:52:37.248
- people coming into the county to do nefarious things that they were aware of, and they could find them

00:52:37.248 --> 00:52:47.486
- before they did that thing. So, you know, it has a role, but the way the data has been abused, and we've seen

00:52:48.674 --> 00:52:57.747
- national stories about this is terrible. Now, I think if there's money set aside for this contract,

00:52:57.747 --> 00:53:07.091
- so hopefully if we're terminating in that we'll have enough money to cover the camera removal. I don't

00:53:07.091 --> 00:53:15.166
- know that, but we might have to go to council or we might have to find a way to do that.

00:53:15.650 --> 00:53:22.801
- Yeah, two things, because I just got an email from the office and there's actually another contract

00:53:22.801 --> 00:53:30.094
- that was signed by the sheriff outside of a commissioner meeting in 2023. I afforded it to all of you

00:53:30.094 --> 00:53:37.817
- via email just now. The other issue is the contract. I don't believe we're paying anything on this contract

00:53:37.817 --> 00:53:45.182
- on a daily basis or on a monthly. So we don't have a line for this contract. So what we have to use is

00:53:48.098 --> 00:53:56.217
- I believe the sheriff's paying for it. Okay. Okay. There is no expense to it. I assume Q cap because

00:53:56.217 --> 00:54:04.497
- of the technology. Yeah. Okay. So it's out of the sheriff's eye. I am not aware of any payments. Okay.

00:54:04.497 --> 00:54:12.776
- So in order for you guys to pay for this, I believe, and I had a quick conversation with Mr. Crocknell

00:54:12.776 --> 00:54:17.278
- yesterday, we could use our professional services line.

00:54:17.698 --> 00:54:27.407
- And so, and this falls into again, kind of the council's process of you bend your line and then for

00:54:27.407 --> 00:54:37.117
- new needs that come up, you expand the line and then if you're unable to meet the expected expenses

00:54:37.117 --> 00:54:45.758
- in that budget line, then you go back and ask for additional. So that will be happening.

00:54:46.434 --> 00:54:54.370
- Well, I do want to say that I had a discussion with the sheriff about this, and he said, I'm fine with

00:54:54.370 --> 00:55:02.306
- terminating it. So we're not undermining him. We got his OK on it. I will say I'm really grateful that

00:55:02.306 --> 00:55:11.166
- Mr. Cockrell raised the issue of removal of cameras because other agencies could still use the information. Right.

00:55:11.266 --> 00:55:18.927
- If they're not removed and so I do hope and I encourage the city of Bloomington to proceed with that

00:55:18.927 --> 00:55:26.740
- portion of Their contract termination with flock because there are still cameras out there and you can

00:55:26.740 --> 00:55:34.326
- find them online So are those cameras on and operating? Well, I don't know but they but flock could

00:55:34.326 --> 00:55:36.222
- certainly I imagine that

00:55:36.706 --> 00:55:42.594
- could certainly still collect data from them, even if there's no contract. Even if they think it is

00:55:42.594 --> 00:55:48.541
- not accessing right data, right? Because they actually they can use it themselves. They can sell it.

00:55:48.541 --> 00:55:54.488
- They could whatever. I don't know. I don't know that. But but that's the worst case scenario. And so

00:55:54.488 --> 00:56:00.670
- I I would hope that we could encourage our city colleagues to take the next step and have those removed.

00:56:00.670 --> 00:56:05.086
- It'd be nice if there were a way to do this locally so that we can get the

00:56:06.242 --> 00:56:13.699
- Well, I mean the technology that we could be able to use it for its purposes and help protect residents

00:56:13.699 --> 00:56:20.868
- better. Finding silver alerts, amber alerts, it really makes a big difference and it's hard to say,

00:56:20.868 --> 00:56:28.253
- well, we don't want that protection. We don't want that ability because of the things this company has

00:56:28.253 --> 00:56:35.710
- done. So it is unfortunate, but I do appreciate Mr. Copper looking into that and I look forward to this

00:56:36.226 --> 00:56:43.966
- contract being finalized and ended and terminated. And I assume if there's any issue between the sheriff's

00:56:43.966 --> 00:56:51.273
- version of the contract and the one that we approved in 2021, I think. Yeah, that's when we started.

00:56:51.273 --> 00:56:58.796
- But I thought he had told me several months ago in a conversation I had with him about it, he was like,

00:56:58.796 --> 00:57:04.222
- oh, yeah, we just renewed it. And I was like, really? How did that happen?

00:57:04.386 --> 00:57:10.240
- I don't remember that. So it's the new lawn contract. His ability to do that. Yes. So anyway, I just

00:57:10.240 --> 00:57:16.385
- want to make sure that all of that gets settled before we send out this letter, but with that. Hopefully,

00:57:16.385 --> 00:57:22.471
- if he's got money in the line, then he will pay for the removal. Yeah. How soon can we get them removed,

00:57:22.471 --> 00:57:28.499
- do you think? I don't know, but we'll have to see what's in that contract. We can only get the invoice.

00:57:28.499 --> 00:57:30.238
- We'll know that they're done.

00:57:30.466 --> 00:57:37.712
- Yeah, I think that we'll know it when we get the invoice, but I had a contract that the 2021 contract

00:57:37.712 --> 00:57:44.887
- indicated they have to remove it in a reasonable amount of time. So they want a specific, but it. So

00:57:44.887 --> 00:57:51.991
- they remove, but they define reasonable, so we're going to have to keep an eye on that. Can we hood

00:57:51.991 --> 00:57:59.806
- them in the meantime or? Highway Department has to do some spray painting projects on traffic lights. No, no.

00:58:00.290 --> 00:58:08.483
- I don't think we can. Because it's not our equipment. Gotcha. They might say it overheats or something

00:58:08.483 --> 00:58:16.517
- like that. Any public comment on this? We've had a lot of internal comment, but let's see if there's

00:58:16.517 --> 00:58:23.198
- any public comment on this. You can reach your hand on Teams or come to the podium.

00:58:23.586 --> 00:58:30.787
- Seeing none, all those in favor of approving the flock termination letter and camera removal signified

00:58:30.787 --> 00:58:38.059
- by saying aye. Aye. Motion carries to zero. Now we have the item from the work session. So if you could

00:58:38.059 --> 00:58:45.120
- go ahead and make that motion, please. Yes, I'd like to move approval for the agreement with Midwest

00:58:45.120 --> 00:58:51.902
- Salt LLC and Monroe County for treated salt. Fund name, local road and street, fund number 1169.

00:58:52.034 --> 00:58:59.102
- in the amount of two hundred eighty six dollars and one hundred two hundred eighty six yeah two hundred

00:58:59.102 --> 00:59:06.306
- eighty six thousand dollars and one hundred. I'm sorry it was a long night last night. Two hundred eighty

00:59:06.306 --> 00:59:13.103
- six thousand one hundred and fifty dollars I will second that. Welcome thank you. Good morning good

00:59:13.103 --> 00:59:19.967
- afternoon. What you have for you is a contract for treated salt with the company called Midwest Salt

00:59:19.967 --> 00:59:21.598
- LLC. We did annual bids

00:59:22.274 --> 00:59:31.896
- maybe a couple weeks ago, maybe a month ago at this time, but we got no bid on our treated salt. We

00:59:31.896 --> 00:59:41.806
- did have a supplier for untreated salt. I just want to get another avenue for salt supply. We did have

00:59:41.806 --> 00:59:48.926
- an issue getting salt 25, 26 winter. I hear that with the bids they were,

00:59:49.026 --> 00:59:57.410
- it's my understanding that might be the case again, so I just want to make sure we have some options.

00:59:57.410 --> 01:00:05.958
- This requires us to make a commitment to the tonnage that is here. Minimum 80% of those tonnage maximum

01:00:05.958 --> 01:00:14.260
- 100% of that time, so maximum contract would be 286 150. If we have a mild winter, we do not have to

01:00:14.260 --> 01:00:17.630
- take all that tonnage. But at least 80%.

01:00:19.650 --> 01:00:29.377
- And based on your knowledge of even a mild winter, which seems to be the ones where we get a lot of

01:00:29.377 --> 01:00:39.103
- ice storms, super El Nino, whatnot, you're thinking that we're going to be able to use 80% of this.

01:00:39.103 --> 01:00:48.830
- I do. Our mild winters, you get that one to two inch snow. And for us, that uses the most material.

01:00:49.122 --> 01:00:57.129
- we get the bigger snows of five, six, seven, eight inch snows. We do a lot of plowing, same amount of

01:00:57.129 --> 01:01:05.214
- material. So the littler snows, the littler skiffs actually eat up more material than the bigger ones.

01:01:05.214 --> 01:01:12.671
- I think this is good. I know you have salt in the barn, as they say, treated salt in the barn,

01:01:12.671 --> 01:01:18.558
- ready to go, but God, I can't imagine winter right now. I'm so just, yeah.

01:01:18.914 --> 01:01:26.219
- So, but it looks like $7 a ton difference for early versus later. That's kind of interesting. But yeah,

01:01:26.219 --> 01:01:33.314
- it looks like you're just kind of filling the barn. We're going to go ahead and top it off with that

01:01:33.314 --> 01:01:40.830
- 350 tons. We think we can get that crammed in there and we know it won't be an issue getting it right now.

01:01:41.442 --> 01:01:48.478
- But when those storms start coming days or weeks after weeks and everybody's trying to get more salt

01:01:48.478 --> 01:01:55.722
- because they can only store so much towns, municipalities, cities and dot. Yeah, it's you start running

01:01:55.722 --> 01:02:02.758
- out of trucks and and being able to get it so it gets a little tougher. In season. Yeah, I hear that

01:02:02.758 --> 01:02:10.142
- and it's smart to go to go ahead and pre order. So thank you for bringing this. Do you have any comments?

01:02:10.370 --> 01:02:17.490
- So I just think it's an excellent smart idea to have ready to go. So yes. All right. Let's see if there's

01:02:17.490 --> 01:02:24.274
- any public comment on this item. You can raise your hand on Teams or come to the podium. And just to

01:02:24.274 --> 01:02:31.057
- be clear, we also did an approval earlier on the untreated salt, and that's the brine system. And if

01:02:31.057 --> 01:02:38.110
- we needed it. Absolutely. Yeah, that helped us a ton last year when we could not get treated salt. Yeah.

01:02:38.210 --> 01:02:45.064
- we've been able to. The brine system's been amazing. Brine was good and we're still able to use untreated

01:02:45.064 --> 01:02:51.788
- salt mixed with sand, and we have something to put down. Yep, got it. All right. I don't see any public

01:02:51.788 --> 01:02:58.384
- comments, so all those in favor of approving the agreement with Midwest Salt LLC in Monroe County for

01:02:58.384 --> 01:03:05.108
- treated salt, signify by saying aye. Aye. Motion carries 2-0. Thank you, sir, for coming in. Thank you.

01:03:05.108 --> 01:03:06.078
- Appreciate it.

01:03:06.210 --> 01:03:12.339
- Now let's go back to item C, and then I'm going to add something to our agenda. I'd like to move approval

01:03:12.339 --> 01:03:17.947
- from memorandum of understanding between the Monroe County Circuit Court and Indiana University.

01:03:17.947 --> 01:03:23.845
- Fund name, JDAI programming, fund number 9175, in the amount of 1,500. All right, I will second that.

01:03:23.845 --> 01:03:29.684
- Ms. McAfee, we made you come here. That's all right. But it's always good to see you. Thank you. I'm

01:03:29.684 --> 01:03:32.286
- sorry you are. It's a beautiful day to walk.

01:03:32.450 --> 01:03:37.979
- It is a great day to be out walking, yeah. One thing I can quickly jump on and then that didn't work.

01:03:37.979 --> 01:03:43.563
- Be sure to meander back. Thank you for letting me show up a little bit tardy. My apologies. Thank you.

01:03:43.563 --> 01:03:49.309
- I was here a few weeks ago. You might remember we did a whole bunch of JDAI memorandums of understanding.

01:03:49.309 --> 01:03:54.731
- This is one of that bucket that we're doing. It was delayed a little bit because Indiana University

01:03:54.731 --> 01:03:59.230
- needs to have their people look through things and sometimes that just takes time.

01:03:59.618 --> 01:04:05.636
- We currently have a process within the department for juveniles that we do surveys or offer surveys

01:04:05.636 --> 01:04:12.015
- to young people who come to our office for an intake, for a court hearing, for a traditional appointment.

01:04:12.015 --> 01:04:18.395
- They can use a QR code or they get a text message with the URL, I think is the right word to say. Clearly

01:04:18.395 --> 01:04:24.533
- today, technology is not my jam. So if I mess that up, my apologies. But Indiana University gets that

01:04:24.533 --> 01:04:27.422
- data for us. I think their system is qualified.

01:04:27.522 --> 01:04:35.404
- that data, they identify all of it for us and then they give us quarterly reports on things like I was

01:04:35.404 --> 01:04:43.286
- felt like I was treated respectfully. The process was understandable. Parking was manageable times and

01:04:43.286 --> 01:04:51.015
- dates, so this contract just takes us through June of 2027. OK, great. Thank you so much. Questions?

01:04:51.015 --> 01:04:57.214
- No, I think this again, you know, shows just how evidence based and data driven.

01:04:57.506 --> 01:05:06.648
- we are, and that's why I think I'm so proud to say that our programs work. And if it doesn't, we can

01:05:06.648 --> 01:05:15.699
- change it and see what's not working, which is a lot better than paying for things that don't work.

01:05:15.699 --> 01:05:24.478
- So thank you. That is amazing. I do have a question for you, and it is related to, so are there,

01:05:24.610 --> 01:05:31.231
- There's a lot of confidentiality information in the contract, obviously. Yes, is there identifiable

01:05:31.231 --> 01:05:37.919
- information on the survey? Do they provide their identity when they complete the survey? Is that OK?

01:05:37.919 --> 01:05:44.673
- What could be potentially identified is if I walk out of the office on Thursday at 2 o'clock then and

01:05:44.673 --> 01:05:51.559
- do my survey. We could technically do a little bit of background and figure out who that was. The other

01:05:51.559 --> 01:05:53.214
- thing is because it does

01:05:53.410 --> 01:05:59.432
- include kind of broad demographics. If we have a 12-year-old that meets a certain profile, we don't

01:05:59.432 --> 01:06:05.515
- have a lot of 12-year-olds. So we might be able, if we dug a little bit, to figure out who that was.

01:06:05.515 --> 01:06:11.838
- So there are no names, there are no dates of birth, those kinds of things. But thankfully, our probation

01:06:11.838 --> 01:06:18.162
- population is small enough that sometimes it wouldn't take a lot of energy to figure out who those folks

01:06:18.162 --> 01:06:21.534
- are. But they're keeping that information confidential.

01:06:21.698 --> 01:06:30.764
- And so, do you know if they have to do the IU protocol research test subject approvals? My understanding

01:06:30.764 --> 01:06:39.397
- is that they have to go through that board, but because it's not direct service to people, that arm

01:06:39.397 --> 01:06:48.118
- of it is not applicable. But yes, it does have to go through because they are collecting information

01:06:48.118 --> 01:06:49.758
- on humans. Got it.

01:06:50.018 --> 01:06:55.289
- Yeah human subject research board that's what it is okay for that yes subject research actually give

01:06:55.289 --> 01:07:00.613
- us a whole lot of acronyms when we're trying to do this it was a little bit easier because we've done

01:07:00.613 --> 01:07:05.832
- this for the last two or three years but yeah that first time we wanted to do it there were lots of

01:07:05.832 --> 01:07:09.694
- questions and lots of concerns just about what are we collecting and how.

01:07:09.986 --> 01:07:16.684
- How will we be using it then? And how is that information brought back to you in what form and how do

01:07:16.684 --> 01:07:23.382
- you use it? And it would be research involving children and research involving subjects. But also, it

01:07:23.382 --> 01:07:30.014
- would not be for publication purposes either. But there's always, I believe, numbers that people can

01:07:30.014 --> 01:07:35.070
- call and backstops in case anybody feels that they have questions and stuff.

01:07:35.586 --> 01:07:42.221
- That's all included. Thank you so much for your answer. That was a weird question. No, that's great.

01:07:42.221 --> 01:07:48.790
- I'm proud of both of us. Yeah, you just had the answer right off the top of your head. Let's see if

01:07:48.790 --> 01:07:55.162
- there's any public comment on this item. Can you raise your hand on teams or come to the podium?

01:07:55.162 --> 01:08:01.797
- Seeing none, all those in favor of approving the MOU between Monroe County Circuit Court and Indiana

01:08:01.797 --> 01:08:04.030
- University signify by saying aye.

01:08:04.354 --> 01:08:12.107
- I motion carries two zero. Thank you again. Thank you again so much. Good seeing you. Bye. All right.

01:08:12.107 --> 01:08:19.709
- Now I do want to add yet another item to our agenda. I forgot to add earlier. Apologies. This would

01:08:19.709 --> 01:08:27.310
- be, can I use the term ratification for this MOU, Jeff? Because it's something the stormwater board

01:08:27.310 --> 01:08:28.830
- voted on yesterday.

01:08:28.930 --> 01:08:35.381
- I think it's an approval for you, or you could ratify the actions of the stormwater. We'll just do the

01:08:35.381 --> 01:08:42.082
- approval. It's easier. All right, thank you. I move to approve the memorandum of understanding MOU between

01:08:42.082 --> 01:08:48.407
- the city of Bloomington Parks and Recreation Department and the Monroe County Highway Department for

01:08:48.407 --> 01:08:54.983
- the removal of log jams along Clear Creek. I second that. So this was voted on at yesterday's stormwater

01:08:54.983 --> 01:08:58.302
- meeting. And if you want to see some impressive fish

01:08:58.402 --> 01:09:07.886
- pictures of log jams in an urban environment. That's the place to go look. It's in the packet. Those

01:09:07.886 --> 01:09:17.369
- images are in the packet. Yeah, I won't be able to bring it up on screen quick enough. So this is in

01:09:17.369 --> 01:09:25.726
- response to a grant. We're so grateful for our stormwater director, Ms. Erica Penna, who

01:09:26.146 --> 01:09:36.469
- really worked to make sure that this grant happened. And the city of Bloomington working together, great

01:09:36.469 --> 01:09:46.497
- thing again. And this is going to be a shared cost, but that cost is covered by that grant. So kudos,

01:09:46.497 --> 01:09:50.430
- kudos, kudos to our stormwater program.

01:09:51.266 --> 01:09:57.344
- the county expenses something like seven thousand dollars yeah that's coming out and that's coming out

01:09:57.344 --> 01:10:03.421
- of the grant absolutely yes yes and uh you know i think um just you know to even backdate this further

01:10:03.421 --> 01:10:09.322
- it comes out of the tornado from may of 2025 and if you've been walking along the clear creek trail

01:10:09.322 --> 01:10:10.974
- you've seen just all of the

01:10:11.074 --> 01:10:18.266
- And that could be that it poses a danger to landowners along there. It poses a danger to wildlife. And

01:10:18.266 --> 01:10:21.758
- so and if there's another storm or a flash flood.

01:10:21.858 --> 01:10:27.352
- it's going to get worse. But it would be enormously expensive for us to clear it out. And so thanks

01:10:27.352 --> 01:10:32.900
- to our wonderful county employees and city employees, that is now not going to be a problem anymore.

01:10:32.900 --> 01:10:38.394
- And so it's wonderful, wonderful. So take a walk by the Clear Creek Trail, and you can see it. It's

01:10:38.394 --> 01:10:43.887
- even better than the photographs yesterday. And I don't really have a problem with adding it to the

01:10:43.887 --> 01:10:49.436
- agenda here, because it got a full airing yesterday at 3.30. And tune in. It was a good meeting, and

01:10:49.436 --> 01:10:50.974
- even the budget discussion.

01:10:51.714 --> 01:11:03.038
- Yeah, absolutely. And yeah, and you're absolutely right. It adds to erosion. It adds to flooding concerns

01:11:03.038 --> 01:11:13.722
- and property damage. And all of those things are terrible. So I know what I didn't make a motion to

01:11:13.722 --> 01:11:16.286
- add this to the agenda.

01:11:19.554 --> 01:11:26.265
- We need to do that. I think it's pretty clear from the from the motion that that's the intent. So I

01:11:26.265 --> 01:11:33.177
- think you're fine. Thank you. Oh, my God. Oh, I think it's the cooler weather at night. That's I don't

01:11:33.177 --> 01:11:40.156
- know. Well, I could say two hundred and six thousand. Oh, yeah. Sorry. Yeah. Yeah. Not enough caffeine.

01:11:40.156 --> 01:11:46.934
- All right. So let's see if there's any public comment on this item. You can raise your hand on teams

01:11:46.934 --> 01:11:48.478
- or come to the podium.

01:11:53.570 --> 01:12:00.901
- Seeing none, all those in favor of approving the Memorandum of Understanding between the City of Bloomington

01:12:00.901 --> 01:12:07.627
- Parks and Recreation Department and the River County Highway Department for the removal of log jams

01:12:07.627 --> 01:12:14.420
- along Clear Creek, signify by saying aye. Aye. Motion carries 2-0. I know Aubrey DeLotter-Myers that

01:12:14.420 --> 01:12:21.549
- this needs to get to Erika ASAP. So just a note to get that signed on DocuSign as soon as possible before

01:12:21.549 --> 01:12:22.558
- anything else.

01:12:22.786 --> 01:12:33.674
- because she needs to take it to the parks department tonight. All right, so back onto where we are.

01:12:33.674 --> 01:12:44.780
- We don't have any appointments. A couple of announcements. I do want to note that we were at the city

01:12:44.780 --> 01:12:51.966
- council meeting last night where we presented a June, 2026 design

01:12:52.066 --> 01:13:08.184
- that's on the property. We kind of tossed that to the City Council with the caveat because we do know

01:13:08.184 --> 01:13:20.510
- that our priorities right now are time and space. In terms of space, it's not

01:13:23.426 --> 01:13:36.335
- but it works and there is some room to expand the facility if needed. Good. So that's that's excellent

01:13:36.335 --> 01:13:46.110
- and and but we really can't go through a nine to 12 month. Plan commissioned.

01:13:47.234 --> 01:13:53.851
- city council approval process. This is how long it takes. I mean, ours takes time too, because you have

01:13:53.851 --> 01:14:00.405
- to put on notice. You have to, you know, have to have hearings. It's part of democracy. It takes time.

01:14:00.405 --> 01:14:06.768
- Um, but, uh, so we, we gave them that caveat that we need to find a, if they're willing to do this,

01:14:06.768 --> 01:14:13.131
- we need to find a quicker way to act. Um, so, um, I received one mail email of interest last night,

01:14:13.131 --> 01:14:15.294
- sent some followup documentation.

01:14:15.746 --> 01:14:23.427
- Um, and we'll see what happens, but hopefully we'll hear from our colleagues at the city council. Did

01:14:23.427 --> 01:14:31.109
- you mention where and where this property is? I did say hope well, but at the very beginning. So this

01:14:31.109 --> 01:14:38.263
- is the former Bloomington hospital site. Yeah. Um, otherwise known as hopeful. Yes. Thank you.

01:14:38.263 --> 01:14:45.342
- Thank you. Uh, and it is a city project site. So that's why we went to them. Yeah. Thank you.

01:14:45.986 --> 01:14:54.069
- that. It is the west. There's like a south one that there is to build on and yeah yeah yeah so I'd say

01:14:54.069 --> 01:15:01.916
- we're north off of second it goes second it spans second to first um and we're we're going to um go

01:15:01.916 --> 01:15:09.763
- ahead and um find a way to attach that and maybe maybe dr baton's listening again but we could find

01:15:09.763 --> 01:15:14.942
- a way to attach that design to the GIS uh we're gonna have to add

01:15:15.522 --> 01:15:23.146
- the secondary piece of information to that GIS that he so magically created for us and looks beautiful.

01:15:23.146 --> 01:15:30.476
- So we'll add this other information because there are, you know, there are some benefits, but there

01:15:30.476 --> 01:15:37.807
- are some and we'll put all that in the in the chart. So there'll be a second Hopewell site and then

01:15:37.807 --> 01:15:44.478
- hopefully we'll add in this design and into that as well. So we'll see if you can do that.

01:15:45.250 --> 01:15:55.571
- he could do anything all right um i do want to note that we are not having a regular meeting um july
