WEBVTT 00:00:00.450 --> 00:00:05.522 - Good morning. I'm going to call to order this meeting in Monroe County Board of Commissioners. 00:00:05.522 --> 00:00:11.074 - It is Thursday, October 8th, and we will begin with our public statement. Commissioner Madeira, please. 00:00:11.074 --> 00:00:16.732 - Yes, we, the Monroe County Board of Commissioners, renew our commitment to welcome and protect the rights 00:00:16.732 --> 00:00:21.750 - of all people, regardless of age, race, color, breed, disability, sexual orientation, gender, 00:00:21.750 --> 00:00:27.249 - gender identity, marital status, economic status and national origin. And we affirm the right of every 00:00:27.249 --> 00:00:29.598 - person to live peacefully and without fear. 00:00:29.858 --> 00:00:37.340 - and we will fight and resist at every step discrimination and harmful policies, whatever their source. 00:00:37.340 --> 00:00:44.894 - We believe in diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging. We also stand in support of our county public 00:00:44.894 --> 00:00:52.521 - school systems, both RBB and MCC FC. All right, thank you so much. We will now move on to our department 00:00:52.521 --> 00:00:59.422 - updates. Anyone here from the health department to offer an update? We might not have anybody. 00:01:02.018 --> 00:01:18.434 - We do. Good morning. Yes, they're going to, yes, Linnea needs to be made a presenter. Thank you so much. 00:01:18.434 --> 00:01:25.470 - Thank you, TST. Good morning, commissioners. 00:01:25.826 --> 00:01:32.569 - We're getting into respiratory virus season, so now is a great time to get those updated flu and COVID 00:01:32.569 --> 00:01:39.182 - vaccines. As of October 7th, the Indiana Department of Health reported that there have been 28 known 00:01:39.182 --> 00:01:45.990 - cases of measles statewide in 2026 so far, mostly among unvaccinated individuals. While there have been 00:01:45.990 --> 00:01:52.537 - no suspected measles cases in Monroe County this year, we are strongly encouraging folks to stay up 00:01:52.537 --> 00:01:54.174 - to date on vaccinations. 00:01:54.658 --> 00:02:01.549 - Measles is a highly contagious disease that can lead to serious complications, especially in young children, 00:02:01.549 --> 00:02:08.314 - pregnant people, and those with weakened immune systems. And the most effective protection against measles 00:02:08.314 --> 00:02:14.700 - is the MMR or measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine. Folks can schedule a vaccination appointment with 00:02:14.700 --> 00:02:21.023 - their primary care provider at the IU Health Community Health Clinic or at the Morgan County Health 00:02:21.023 --> 00:02:23.678 - Department in Martinsville by calling 765 00:02:23.906 --> 00:02:33.426 - And then we'll go to the next slide. And that's 3426621. Thank you. All right. Thank you so much. Um, 00:02:33.426 --> 00:02:43.320 - any comments? Questions? Yeah, I hope it stays that way. Uh we bought low levels of everything infectious 00:02:43.320 --> 00:02:52.094 - and stay away. Stay away from Indiana. Yeah. Um I had read I was reading this morning that an 00:02:52.322 --> 00:03:03.489 - will actually contract measles. Wow. It's so contagious. Absolutely. Yeah. Thank you for that update. 00:03:03.489 --> 00:03:14.438 - Appreciate it. Thank you. All right. And with that, any other department updates? John Baten. Cool. 00:03:14.438 --> 00:03:20.350 - Hey, can you guys hear me? We sure can. Good morning. 00:03:20.546 --> 00:03:27.157 - Hi, hi, commissioners. Yeah, I'm just here to showcase a new application. Well, it's an ongoing application 00:03:27.157 --> 00:03:33.523 - that we do. We are in the election cycle. So we are within the GIS division in collaboration with voter 00:03:33.523 --> 00:03:40.072 - registration. We are, again, running an early voting election dashboard. We'll also be doing live election 00:03:40.072 --> 00:03:46.316 - reporting in November once that election comes about. But to get there, you can just go to our Monroe 00:03:46.316 --> 00:03:48.030 - County government homepage. 00:03:48.386 --> 00:03:55.371 - Click on the early voting dashboard and what this is going to be providing is updated nightly information 00:03:55.371 --> 00:04:02.093 - regarding early votes for the 2026 midterm general. Not only does this show data that we're receiving 00:04:02.093 --> 00:04:09.342 - this year, you'll also be seeing a comparison to other midterm generals that we have data going back to 2006. 00:04:09.410 --> 00:04:15.284 - The chart on the top is gonna show a comparison of votes that have been received over the number of 00:04:15.284 --> 00:04:21.392 - days within the early voting election cycle. So right now we're at two days. So we're doing pretty good 00:04:21.392 --> 00:04:27.266 - in comparison to 2022, 2014 and 2010, but 2018 we were really kicking butt. So hopefully we keep on 00:04:27.266 --> 00:04:33.374 - getting a lot more votes, but we can also see those past midterm daily voting totals in this chart down 00:04:33.374 --> 00:04:37.662 - here. And you can always expand these to get like a little bit more data 00:04:37.826 --> 00:04:43.835 - to look at. I'll also just note one more thing. When you go to the Monroe County homepage, if you click 00:04:43.835 --> 00:04:49.671 - on the GIS division and click on our own site, we do have lots of really cool public resources here, 00:04:49.671 --> 00:04:55.738 - including some information about historical election data, as well as a jail dashboard and other things. 00:04:55.738 --> 00:05:01.690 - And we're consistently updating this and adding new things. So we'll be back to present again when the 00:05:01.690 --> 00:05:07.006 - election kicks off to kind of give a demo about how our election reporting dashboard works. 00:05:07.458 --> 00:05:15.751 - that's all I got. Thank you so much. We appreciate that. And just a reminder for folks, since we don't 00:05:15.751 --> 00:05:23.883 - have anyone here from the clerk's office, that early voting is now ongoing. It's at 501 North Morton 00:05:23.883 --> 00:05:32.015 - or the Monroe County Government Center, Suite 101. You can see a picture on that GIS site there. And 00:05:32.015 --> 00:05:36.926 - early voting takes place from 8 to 6, Monday through Friday. 00:05:37.154 --> 00:05:50.030 - will be voting from 9 to 4. Saturdays of October 24th and October 31st. There will be early voting from 00:05:50.030 --> 00:06:02.782 - 9 to 4. So if you have any questions, please contact the clerk's office. Thank you so much. Thank you. 00:06:02.946 --> 00:06:10.568 - you didn't oh you looked over here go for it sure so we do have an upcoming road closing it's the new 00:06:10.568 --> 00:06:18.115 - Fullerton Pike it's just for some maintenance we're gonna start it on the two days of fall break the 00:06:18.115 --> 00:06:25.438 - 15th 16th that Thursday Friday and then it'll follow with Monday Tuesday Wednesday for the bridge 00:06:25.538 --> 00:06:32.563 - to be sealed. That way we can keep the traffic off of it. We know it's an inconvenience, but it is to 00:06:32.563 --> 00:06:39.726 - fix the asphalt that has held some moisture there. So we're going to have that taken up and new asphalt 00:06:39.726 --> 00:06:46.614 - put down so we can have a good finished project. And then hopefully that will be the last time that 00:06:46.614 --> 00:06:52.606 - we will be doing anything in this area except for normal maintenance and snow removal. 00:06:52.770 --> 00:07:04.137 - the water out of the bridge, which we hope we don't have to do much of this year. Very much so. Yeah. 00:07:04.137 --> 00:07:15.504 - Thank you so much. Yeah it's important to keep the water out of the bridge because that will. Shorten 00:07:15.504 --> 00:07:22.302 - its lifespan. Pun intended and any other department updates. 00:07:22.466 --> 00:07:31.860 - the agenda is reserved for items that are not on our agenda elsewhere, and we ask speakers to limit 00:07:31.860 --> 00:07:41.629 - their time to three minutes per person, and to provide your name and county of residence when you begin 00:07:41.629 --> 00:07:51.774 - speaking. You may raise your hand on teams or come to the podium. All right, seeing none, we will come back 00:07:51.938 --> 00:08:01.305 - for our next agenda item, please. Yes, I would like to move approval of the minutes for October 1st, 00:08:01.305 --> 00:08:10.672 - 2026. I will second that. Any comments, corrections, or edits? No, sorry. I don't either accept that 00:08:10.672 --> 00:08:19.390 - I'm the one who read the statement last time. So that's why we're swapping out. So thank you. 00:08:20.162 --> 00:08:27.239 - All right. All those in favor of approving the minutes for October 1st, 2026 signify by saying aye. 00:08:27.239 --> 00:08:34.527 - Aye. Motion carries 2-0. We'll move on to our next item, please. Yes, I'd like to move approval of the 00:08:34.527 --> 00:08:41.604 - claims docket for accounts payable for October 8th, 2026. I will second that. It looks like we have 00:08:41.604 --> 00:08:47.902 - Ms. Freeman joining us this morning to tell us all about it. Good morning. Good morning. 00:08:48.770 --> 00:08:57.686 - The accounts payable claims docket for October 8th, 2026 totals $3,549,511.74. And this includes all 00:08:57.686 --> 00:09:06.072 - emergency claims and adjustments. Thank you so much. Comments or corrections? Notes? Anything? 00:09:06.072 --> 00:09:15.518 - I had none. Okay. Any public comment on this item? You can raise your hand on Teams or come to the podium. 00:09:21.442 --> 00:09:28.529 - All those in favor of approving the claim stack and accounts payable October 8th, 2026 signify by saying 00:09:28.529 --> 00:09:35.616 - aye. Motion carries to zero. Thank you, ma'am. Thank you. All right. We don't have any reports, so let's 00:09:35.616 --> 00:09:42.906 - move on to our new business, please. Item eight. Yes, I'd like to move approval for the MOU with resiliency 00:09:42.906 --> 00:09:50.398 - practice, fund name, self-insurance, fund number 4,700 in an amount not to exceed $10,000. I will second that. 00:09:51.362 --> 00:09:59.698 - Good morning, Ms. Stinson-Wada. How are you? Good. Do you want to pull that mic down a little bit? Sure. 00:09:59.698 --> 00:10:07.797 - We don't want to miss a word. Thank you. All right. So just some information for you before you vote. 00:10:07.797 --> 00:10:14.942 - Since January 1st, Amanda Solontin, she is the operator for the Resilience Practice, LLC. 00:10:15.074 --> 00:10:22.117 - and she has provided 54 hours of individual session services through this program. This program is designed 00:10:22.117 --> 00:10:28.964 - specifically to address the unique challenges and associated with the public safety work. And the public 00:10:28.964 --> 00:10:35.616 - safety employees are routinely exposed to stressful, traumatic, and emotional demanding situations as 00:10:35.616 --> 00:10:42.333 - part of their job. And the purpose of this program is to provide employees with an accessible resource 00:10:42.333 --> 00:10:44.094 - that they can seek support 00:10:44.194 --> 00:11:12.926 - the employees to do on their own. Um and I want to say that I recommend 00:11:13.122 --> 00:11:21.247 - I have a question for you. So the rate is 125 an hour. Is that the same as last year? Yes. Okay. 00:11:21.247 --> 00:11:29.622 - Thank you. Yep. Comments or questions? No. It's excellent program. I'm so glad we offer it, and I'm 00:11:29.622 --> 00:11:37.998 - glad that employees. Are aware of it. Both, um, merit deputies and our correctional staff are aware 00:11:37.998 --> 00:11:42.270 - of it. It's really useful. I'm glad I'm so glad we 00:11:42.402 --> 00:12:10.910 - anything else? Any comments from the public? Raise your hand on teams or come to the podium. 00:12:11.714 --> 00:12:19.958 - Approving the Memorandum of Understanding with Resiliency Practice, signify by saying aye. Aye. Motion 00:12:19.958 --> 00:12:28.201 - carries to zero. Thank you so much. Okay. All right. Next item, please. Yes, I'd like to move approval 00:12:28.201 --> 00:12:36.205 - for the Indiana Criminal Justice Institute Diversion Grant, fund name to be determined, fund number 00:12:36.205 --> 00:12:39.646 - to be determined in the amount of $80,000. 00:12:39.938 --> 00:12:45.990 - I will second that. Good morning, Ms. McAfee. Good morning, everybody. I'm so excited to be here this 00:12:45.990 --> 00:12:52.340 - morning. You know, we have gotten JDAI grants from the state for several years. This opportunity presented 00:12:52.340 --> 00:12:58.392 - itself a couple of years ago, and it is to work in partnership with the work we're already doing with 00:12:58.392 --> 00:13:04.326 - JDAI, Indiana Criminal Justice Institute. We haven't gotten a grant from them for a while, but they 00:13:04.326 --> 00:13:09.310 - are great partners. And what this does, it's going to give us funding for two years 00:13:09.570 --> 00:13:15.299 - back to July 1, it's been a little contentious with the state trying to get things put together, but 00:13:15.299 --> 00:13:20.972 - we're here, so yay. And so the first phase of the project is we're gonna partner with an agency out 00:13:20.972 --> 00:13:26.871 - of Indianapolis, Community Solutions, and they're gonna come in and help as a community talk about what 00:13:26.871 --> 00:13:33.054 - does diversion mean to Monroe County? What does it mean to law enforcement? What does it mean to prosecutor? 00:13:33.054 --> 00:13:35.550 - What does it mean to our community members? 00:13:35.650 --> 00:13:42.616 - You guys all know that our big goal has been to avoid unnecessary involvement in the youth justice system, 00:13:42.616 --> 00:13:49.126 - which we believe then will impact the adult system involvement too. And I think having some outside 00:13:49.126 --> 00:13:56.222 - resources that have done this work in other communities will really be able to launch us into a great place. 00:13:56.322 --> 00:14:02.830 - phase two of the project is taking the work that these folks have done for us and really kind of doing 00:14:02.830 --> 00:14:09.275 - the boots on the grounds kinds of things. So with your permission, we would love to contract with the 00:14:09.275 --> 00:14:15.594 - Criminal Justice Institute. Right. Comments? No, this is amazing, just as our last opportunity was. 00:14:15.594 --> 00:14:22.229 - And again, I really am joy. I really feel like it's especially strong because it's two years of funding. 00:14:22.229 --> 00:14:23.998 - Yes. It really helps a lot. 00:14:24.194 --> 00:14:31.574 - So just to clear, I mean, there's a lot of, you know, word salad in here from them, and I get it. But 00:14:31.574 --> 00:14:38.881 - in plain speak, the idea- That's my specialty. Yes, I know. The idea is to assess what is being done 00:14:38.881 --> 00:14:46.189 - in terms of the programming, but then also to consider additional programming or what else is on the 00:14:46.189 --> 00:14:52.990 - table in phase two. So the first phase is we really just need to figure out what's out there. 00:14:53.378 --> 00:15:00.503 - who does it serve? Like who is their intended population? Is it meeting the need? And making, I wanna 00:15:00.503 --> 00:15:07.488 - be careful when I say this, cause I don't mean to be critical, but oftentimes we have programs that 00:15:07.488 --> 00:15:14.613 - duplicate one another. And then there's this huge gap. So do it a little bit of that as well. And the 00:15:14.613 --> 00:15:21.598 - gap analysis, then we'll start to look at who is addressing, what programmatic pieces out there are 00:15:21.598 --> 00:15:22.366 - addressing 00:15:22.690 --> 00:15:29.764 - specifically criminogenic traits for young people. We have a lot of really good programs, but don't 00:15:29.764 --> 00:15:36.979 - necessarily address attitudes, values, beliefs, thinking errors. So while we want the community to be 00:15:36.979 --> 00:15:44.123 - aware of those, it's not necessarily something that's going to change the trajectory for some of the 00:15:44.123 --> 00:15:51.550 - kids we're dealing with, kids and families. So then this second phase is identifying agency capacity for 00:15:51.938 --> 00:15:58.503 - either ramping up programming they're offering or maybe adding an additional layer of something. Oftentimes 00:15:58.503 --> 00:16:04.643 - with these programs, and I am not trying to promote one program against another, but oftentimes like 00:16:04.643 --> 00:16:10.965 - after school programs and things can be strong targets for these kinds of programs because they already 00:16:10.965 --> 00:16:17.470 - kind of have that captive audience. And there are sometimes just subtle things that can be done to kind of 00:16:17.794 --> 00:16:23.642 - their programming to do more of this targeted intervention work. Or frankly, it may be somebody that 00:16:23.642 --> 00:16:29.664 - we're not even aware of that kind of has this mission in their heart and wants to work with us. So that 00:16:29.664 --> 00:16:35.570 - will be the job of community partners to figure out who's already well positioned for this or who can 00:16:35.570 --> 00:16:36.670 - we bring on board. 00:16:37.090 --> 00:16:42.101 - Excellent. I appreciate the plain speak. Thank you. I hope that was. It was. It was. I really appreciate 00:16:42.101 --> 00:16:46.921 - it. The other piece is we've also included funds for curriculum. So we're not just going to identify 00:16:46.921 --> 00:16:51.694 - an agency and go, OK, well, you guys figure out how to pay for it, how to sustain it, how to market 00:16:51.694 --> 00:16:56.657 - it. And oh, yeah, your people are going to need trained, too, because it's probably not anything you've 00:16:56.657 --> 00:17:01.716 - done. So we've included some dollars for training as well. And again, this works so nicely in partnership 00:17:01.716 --> 00:17:02.814 - with our JDAI efforts. 00:17:02.914 --> 00:17:08.630 - as you know, we have all kinds of community partnerships with lots and lots of agencies. And we're hoping 00:17:08.630 --> 00:17:14.131 - that this will allow us to strengthen those partnerships. Yeah, excellent. Thank you so much for that 00:17:14.131 --> 00:17:19.685 - explanation. Really helpful. And I think it's helpful for the public to know what's going on. And yes, 00:17:19.685 --> 00:17:24.754 - a two-year grant is awesome. Yes. Thank you. We look forward to hearing the updates. Perfect. 00:17:24.754 --> 00:17:30.686 - I will be here. Yay. Any public comment on this item? You can raise your hand on Teams or come to the podium. 00:17:37.026 --> 00:17:43.991 - All right. Seeing none, all those in favor of approving the Indiana Criminal Justice Institute Diversion 00:17:43.991 --> 00:17:50.956 - Grant signify by saying aye. Aye. Motion carries. 2-0. Thank you, ma'am. Perfect. Thank you all so much. 00:17:50.956 --> 00:17:58.120 - Thanks. All right. Next item, please. Yes, I'd like to move approval for Bio 1 Thompson property encampment 00:17:58.120 --> 00:18:04.820 - cleanup extension addendum. Fund name, county general, fund number 1,000 in the amount of $35,000. I 00:18:04.820 --> 00:18:06.014 - will second that. 00:18:06.786 --> 00:18:15.434 - Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. 00:18:15.434 --> 00:18:24.083 - Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. 00:18:24.083 --> 00:18:32.731 - Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. 00:18:32.731 --> 00:18:35.614 - Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. 00:18:36.770 --> 00:18:48.099 - anything? How is the progress proceeding out there? We're making progress. There's a lot. Yeah. Yeah, 00:18:48.099 --> 00:18:59.205 - there's a lot. I'd say we're past the halfway point. I could talk all day about it. Well, thank you 00:18:59.205 --> 00:19:05.758 - so much. We appreciate the ongoing efforts. It's not easy. 00:19:06.082 --> 00:19:14.636 - and this is necessary. So, all right. Thank you so much. Let's see if there's any public comment on 00:19:14.636 --> 00:19:23.360 - this item. You can raise your hand on teams or come to the podium. Seeing none, all those in favor of 00:19:23.360 --> 00:19:32.085 - approving the Bio One Thompson property encampment cleanup extension addendum, signify by saying aye. 00:19:32.085 --> 00:19:35.934 - Aye. Motion carries to zero. Thank you, sir. 00:19:37.506 --> 00:19:46.630 - Next item, please. Yes, I'd like to move approval for Ordinance 2026-41, an interlocal agreement with 00:19:46.630 --> 00:19:55.933 - the town of Ellisville for the major crash investigation team. Fund name, MCI Grant 20.616, Fund number 00:19:55.933 --> 00:19:58.974 - 8193 in the amount of $75,534.38. 00:20:00.162 --> 00:20:07.845 - I will second that. We have a motion and we have a second. And we will hear from Lieutenant Molden first, 00:20:07.845 --> 00:20:15.093 - please. Good morning. Good morning. So excited to be back for you again this year. This will be the 00:20:15.093 --> 00:20:22.776 - second year, hopefully, that we continue this program. The Indiana Criminal Justice Institute has awarded 00:20:22.776 --> 00:20:29.662 - us a little over $60,000 for another year to continue to build upon what we started last year. 00:20:30.178 --> 00:20:37.230 - It's about a 36% increase over last year's award amounts. We're excited that they've not only found 00:20:37.230 --> 00:20:44.352 - value in what we're doing but are continuing to invest in us and allow us to expand the program. The 00:20:44.352 --> 00:20:51.404 - money covers a team of investigators, specialized investigators to respond to fatal and other major 00:20:51.404 --> 00:20:54.366 - crashes that occur throughout the county. 00:20:54.978 --> 00:21:02.100 - and in addition to providing for overtime funds for that to be possible. It funds very heavily training 00:21:02.100 --> 00:21:09.223 - which it's the field is constantly evolving and very specialized so it's pretty extensive. It will also 00:21:09.223 --> 00:21:16.140 - fund some equipment for us and then some just basic operating expenses as well so we're very excited 00:21:16.140 --> 00:21:23.262 - to keep the program going and it's been a very successful first year. Good excellent thank you so much. 00:21:23.458 --> 00:21:29.466 - Mr. Cockrell do you want to talk about the inner local side of this? Well the inner local agreement 00:21:29.466 --> 00:21:35.174 - is is necessary because it's working with the town of Ellitsville and so we have two different 00:21:35.174 --> 00:21:41.243 - law enforcement units working together to do this project so that's why the inner locals in place is 00:21:41.243 --> 00:21:47.311 - because this allows us to funnel some of the funding to Ellitsville to pay their overtime and to pay 00:21:47.311 --> 00:21:51.998 - for some equipment for that. Great yeah excellent. Any questions or comments? 00:21:52.386 --> 00:22:06.078 - I think it's wonderful and I think it's unique, and I hope it continues to grow and develop. Yes, indeed. 00:22:06.078 --> 00:22:16.670 - Um and, um. How many, um Monroe County deputies are part of this group? This team 00:22:17.058 --> 00:22:24.030 - So the team has 6 total members, 4 of which, counting myself, are from the Monroe County Sheriff's Office. 00:22:24.030 --> 00:22:30.806 - Okay, so then there's 2 from Ellisville. Correct. Okay, got it. And I think I just want to clarify that 00:22:30.806 --> 00:22:37.648 - there are 2 different numbers in the packet. The 60,000-ish number is the actual state grant. The 75,000 00:22:37.648 --> 00:22:43.838 - number would be the state grant plus the local match. Right. Thank you. I'm sorry. And I think 00:22:44.002 --> 00:22:49.911 - I'm not sure I understand why there's an ordinance number, because this is a grant and an MOU. That 00:22:49.911 --> 00:22:55.938 - would be my question for you. The ordinance will approve the interlocal agreement, right? So if we do 00:22:55.938 --> 00:23:01.847 - this with the animal control and whenever we have an interlocal, we have an ordinance that approves 00:23:01.847 --> 00:23:08.051 - the interlocal agreement. Got it. Okay. The grant is separate. Got it. And then the resolution is, well, 00:23:08.051 --> 00:23:13.310 - the council will approve a resolution approving the ordinance, approving the interlocal. 00:23:13.666 --> 00:23:22.428 - sure okay welcome to county government all right thank you so much for presenting today one more question 00:23:22.428 --> 00:23:31.273 - so if some if there's a terrible crash do you all work outside of jurisdictions in other words Ellensville 00:23:31.273 --> 00:23:39.870 - officers may help from their team on something outside of Ellensville for example yes that's correct so 00:23:40.194 --> 00:23:47.281 - The way the team operates is as one cohesive team so respective of individual membership agency if there's 00:23:47.281 --> 00:23:54.566 - a crash anywhere in either jurisdiction then everyone could potentially respond and the biggest determination 00:23:54.566 --> 00:24:01.388 - of who specifically will respond is depending on the unique circumstances of the crash itself but it's 00:24:01.388 --> 00:24:04.766 - not about the geography it's more about the actual 00:24:04.866 --> 00:24:11.872 - mechanics of the crash itself as far as who we need. In the past year, we responded to 12 total crashes. 00:24:11.872 --> 00:24:18.877 - Wow, that's more than I would have thought. Yeah, 10 of which were in MCSO jurisdiction and two of which 00:24:18.877 --> 00:24:25.616 - were within the boundaries of the town of Ellitsville. But it's been a great partnership and the two 00:24:25.616 --> 00:24:32.288 - Ellitsville officers have been great to work with and we're excited to have them with us. Yeah, and 00:24:32.288 --> 00:24:33.022 - this helps 00:24:33.154 --> 00:24:38.192 - both agencies in general. Just having this base of knowledge is so important. So thank you so much. 00:24:38.192 --> 00:24:43.331 - Absolutely. Yeah. Thanks for serving on that team. Appreciate it. All right. Let's see if there's any 00:24:43.331 --> 00:24:47.614 - public comment on this item. You can raise your hand on teams or come to the podium. 00:24:54.946 --> 00:25:02.145 - Seeing none, all those in favor of approving ordinance 2026-41, an interlocal agreement with the town 00:25:02.145 --> 00:25:09.273 - of Elksville for the major crash investigation team, signify by saying aye. Aye. Motion carries 2-0. 00:25:09.273 --> 00:25:16.543 - Thank you. Thanks. I wonder how many teams like there are that do that in the state. Yeah. It's really 00:25:16.543 --> 00:25:21.342 - cool that we have one so local. Yeah. All right. Next item, please. 00:25:21.986 --> 00:25:30.549 - I would like to move approval for ENB paving change order number one, fund name stormwater, fund number 00:25:30.549 --> 00:25:39.607 - 1197 and the amount of $82,714. I will second that. Ms. Ridge. Good morning. So if you look in the narrative, 00:25:39.607 --> 00:25:48.088 - it's actually a reduction of $82,714. So that was what was saved on the project. We just did the final 00:25:48.088 --> 00:25:49.982 - walkthrough last week. 00:25:50.146 --> 00:25:57.041 - and everything is working the way it should. And we've replaced a bridge with this project. It's been 00:25:57.041 --> 00:26:03.869 - a long standing stormwater project that we were finally able to complete Morse Creek last year, Stip 00:26:03.869 --> 00:26:10.629 - Road this year. So we're glad to get this closed out and then also come in under budget. Excellent. 00:26:10.629 --> 00:26:16.510 - So I will go ahead and make it a motion to amend the motion to be a credit of $82,714. 00:26:17.378 --> 00:26:27.802 - I second. Okay, motion and a second. Any comments on the amendment? Seeing none, all those in favor 00:26:27.802 --> 00:26:38.330 - of amending the motion signify by saying aye. Aye. Motion carries to zero. So now let's come back to 00:26:38.330 --> 00:26:43.646 - the amended motion. Any comments or questions? No. 00:26:43.746 --> 00:26:51.750 - reduction is a beautiful thing. Yeah. So STIP took how many years? Oh my gosh. I feel like I've been 00:26:51.750 --> 00:26:59.676 - talking about this since. Me too. Yeah. It's been, so I think our last long-range plan was approved 00:26:59.676 --> 00:27:04.510 - in 2016. Right. 2016-17. Then we went through the process of 00:27:04.706 --> 00:27:10.266 - prioritizing the project so it's been in the discussion and under design for quite some time. Yeah. 00:27:10.266 --> 00:27:15.825 - Yeah. Have you heard from the residents in that area. We actually had a resident stop while we were 00:27:15.825 --> 00:27:19.550 - down there doing a walkthrough. I'm very thankful for the project. 00:27:20.130 --> 00:27:26.738 - We also reached out, went down there after we had the spring rains back and the portion of the road 00:27:26.738 --> 00:27:33.479 - did not go underwater, what we expected. I know the car top area, that will continue to flood in that 00:27:33.479 --> 00:27:40.219 - area, but there's no residents in that area. So the project on Moores Creek stopped on the other side 00:27:40.219 --> 00:27:42.334 - of car top, Stipp Road stopped. 00:27:43.074 --> 00:27:49.558 - there. So you'll still have the flooding in the car top area. But again, the project was designed to 00:27:49.558 --> 00:27:56.042 - get the residents to their homes. And that's what we've done so far. And emergency vehicles to them, 00:27:56.042 --> 00:28:02.526 - if necessary. Absolutely. Yeah, absolutely. I always thought that the car top area was named for how 00:28:02.526 --> 00:28:09.010 - deep the water gets when it floods. Is that true? It would not. OK. Just asking. Sorry. Any comments 00:28:09.010 --> 00:28:13.054 - or questions? None. This is so great to hear that that's done. 00:28:13.218 --> 00:28:22.402 - All right. Any public comment on this item? You raise your hand on teams or come to the podium. 00:28:22.402 --> 00:28:32.447 - Seeing none, all those in favor of approving the amended motion regarding EMB paving change order number 00:28:32.447 --> 00:28:41.918 - one, signify by saying aye. Aye. Motion carries to zero. Thank you so much. And next item, please. 00:28:42.946 --> 00:28:50.197 - I would like to move approval for American Structure Point Incorporated Addendum Fund Name Cumulative 00:28:50.197 --> 00:28:57.307 - Capital Fund Number 1138 in the amount of $9,900. Second. Let's see. We have somebody from planning 00:28:57.307 --> 00:29:04.558 - here. Hi. There you are. Yay. Good morning, Ms. Nestor-Gillin. Good morning. Thank you for hearing me 00:29:04.558 --> 00:29:10.814 - this morning. I just have a quick item. I'm going to go ahead and share my screen here. 00:29:11.010 --> 00:29:18.655 - We have been working with American Structure Point in regards to the Fullerton Pike project and finishing 00:29:18.655 --> 00:29:25.940 - up the what's called CLOMAR process, which is the conditional letter of map revision. So when we did 00:29:25.940 --> 00:29:33.369 - the bridge across Fullerton Pike, it was in the floodway. And so what has happened now is that we just 00:29:33.369 --> 00:29:40.798 - need to update our data and make sure that no insurable structures were impacted by the bridge itself. 00:29:41.090 --> 00:29:48.753 - And then in the future, once we have this data, it will allow us to give better guidance to the residents 00:29:48.753 --> 00:29:55.983 - in the area as to where they can and cannot place future insurable structures. So today what I have 00:29:55.983 --> 00:30:01.694 - is an addendum to a contract that was approved last year, and it's essentially 00:30:02.978 --> 00:30:11.980 - The contract that was approved last year was for 50,000 not to exceed, but the itemized amount was 39,700. 00:30:11.980 --> 00:30:20.560 - So today is just to itemize the remainder up to that 50,000 that was already approved, but to specify 00:30:20.560 --> 00:30:29.646 - under the contract what those hours will be appropriated to. And I'm also happy that they have put together 00:30:29.646 --> 00:30:32.254 - a contract that states in bold 00:30:32.706 --> 00:30:40.569 - that at the end of the day, even if they essentially run out of hours, they will submit and get approval 00:30:40.569 --> 00:30:48.207 - for the Wilmar application. So with this final addendum, we will get the data that we need. I'll also 00:30:48.207 --> 00:30:55.696 - point out that this was a condition of approval for the Fullerton Pike Bridge from the state. So it 00:30:55.696 --> 00:31:00.638 - was sort of an unfunded mandate that we have to do. And so it has 00:31:00.770 --> 00:31:08.178 - cost us a lot of time and some funds. But again, this is to protect, hopefully, the residents in the 00:31:08.178 --> 00:31:15.807 - area with better data to know where to place and not to place structures. Yeah, absolutely. It's great. 00:31:15.807 --> 00:31:23.289 - Thank you for working on this. And if our public isn't aware, our floodplain manager is in the county 00:31:23.289 --> 00:31:28.350 - planning department, and it's Tammy Behrman, the assistant director. 00:31:29.122 --> 00:31:36.083 - part of what Tammy is on if you have any questions as well. Right. Yeah. Thank you. Do you have any 00:31:36.083 --> 00:31:43.045 - questions? No, this is just critical again, because we have so many darn areas that are susceptible 00:31:43.045 --> 00:31:50.006 - to this. Yeah. Yeah. And this bridge was really built in a very temperamental area environmentally. 00:31:50.006 --> 00:31:57.246 - So this has got to be done. Is there a deadline for this to be completed? So each time that they submit 00:31:57.410 --> 00:32:04.056 - To FEMA, there's a 90-day deadline. And so they submitted about, I think, September 29. So we have a 00:32:04.056 --> 00:32:10.703 - deadline. If you count the 90 days, I think it was right around the holidays, December 26, is when I 00:32:10.703 --> 00:32:17.547 - hope they tie this up. And so they think that they can do that there at the last stage. So much. Thanks 00:32:17.547 --> 00:32:24.127 - for that information. Because there isn't a deadline on the document. But yes, the FEMA deadline is 00:32:24.127 --> 00:32:25.246 - the looming one. 00:32:25.666 --> 00:32:38.276 - Thank you. Great. Let's see if there's any public comment on this item. You raise your hand on teams 00:32:38.276 --> 00:32:50.886 - or come to the podium. And all those in favor of approving the American structure Point Inc addendum 00:32:50.886 --> 00:32:53.758 - signify by saying aye. 00:32:55.202 --> 00:33:12.055 - So I just have. A couple of. Announcements. Um for today. I just want to remind folks that we are always 00:33:12.055 --> 00:33:24.574 - looking for board and commissioner. Boarding commission appointments from the 00:33:25.090 --> 00:33:37.777 - and take a look, and you can apply right online. The blood drive for October includes Friday, 00:33:37.777 --> 00:33:45.470 - October 9th, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., Wednesday, October 14th, 00:33:45.698 --> 00:33:54.554 - 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. and Thursday, October 22nd, noon to 5 p.m. This blood drive is always held at Ivy Tech 00:33:54.554 --> 00:34:03.154 - in its room C130A and B. And we're doing this in conjunction with Ivy Tech. Thank you, Ivy Tech. And 00:34:03.154 --> 00:34:11.669 - the Red Cross, if you'd like to make an appointment to donate blood, please go to redcross.org. And 00:34:11.669 --> 00:34:12.606 - we do have 00:34:12.834 --> 00:34:38.238 - We also want to remind residents to utilize the county alert notification system for all weather and 00:34:38.338 --> 00:34:46.117 - There is what is now a hurricane churning in the Gulf, and it's actually coming up here for Sunday. 00:34:46.117 --> 00:34:54.129 - So just keep an eye on flooding potential. I don't think we're in the danger zone, but you never know. 00:34:54.129 --> 00:35:02.686 - Things change. But it's a really good idea to sign up. You can receive notifications via text, email, and or. 00:35:02.818 --> 00:35:11.340 - phone call. I do all three, and it's kind of fun, because when you get the text, then the phone goes 00:35:11.340 --> 00:35:19.862 - off, and then you check your email. But anyway, just in case I'm not home when the alert comes over. 00:35:19.862 --> 00:35:28.300 - And a reminder that we are not meeting next week. So our next meeting will be October 22. We have a 00:35:28.300 --> 00:35:31.422 - little business that is outstanding. 00:35:31.554 --> 00:35:42.200 - And so I'm going to recess this meeting to October 9th, Friday at 3 45 PM right here in the net you 00:35:42.200 --> 00:35:52.846 - Hill room. And do you have anything else? No, I do not. Okay. With that our meeting is recessed. We 00:35:52.846 --> 00:36:00.830 - do have a work session and we will come back for that at 11 o'clock. Okay. 00:36:01.538 --> 00:36:06.174 - Yes. Okay we'll come back at 11 o'clock for our work session. Thank you so much.
