Permit #01-112, Rochester Telephone Company and Permit #12-84 Nelson Shirk, Owner, both Rochester, Indiana. Scott read each permit giving their locations and described the proposed work; also, Scott recommended both Permits to the Board for their approval. Roger Rose made a motion to approve Permit #01-112 for RTC and Permit #12-84 for Nelson Shirk. Leslie Walters seconded this motion. Motion passed 3-0. Scott informed the Board he wanted to discuss with them and have their permission to sell excess property, in the form of equipment, which is no longer needed. It consisted of (1) 1999 Chevrolet Tahoe, 1992 International #4700 Dump Truck and 1995 International #4700 Dump Truck. This was discussed and the date and time was set for July 7, 2003, at 10:00 a.m., during the CommissionersТ Meeting. Scott told the Board he would do the workup for the sale. This was discussed. Rich said he would get with Scott and help him. At this time, Scott was ready to discuss the Animal-Drawn Vehicle Ordinance. From the Wayne County Auditor Scott had obtained stickers and their cost, as well as, the receipt used. The cost of the stickers will be thirty-five ($35.00) dollars; the administration fee at the Auditors Office will be five ($5.00) dollars. Attorney Greg Heller said he is in the process of redrafting the Ordinance. Greg asked the auditor if these fees could be used for wages and the upkeep of the roads and be in compliance with the State Board of Accounts. There was a discussion as to whether or not it could/should be handled by the Township Trustees, rather than the County. The consensus was the County, to be handled by the AuditorТs Office. It was noted that none of the supplies would be taken from the Administration Fee. Scott read the definition of an Animal-Drawn Vehicle: A buggy, carriage, dray or wagon an agricultural vehicle. This will be detailed in the ordinance. There was a discussion on the contents in the ordinance. The fee was discussed again and the consensus was to set it at forty dollars ($40.00), which would include the five ($5.00) dollar administrative fee. Rich stated the Animal Drawn Vehicle Discussion would be at the Commissioners Meeting on June 16th. The Contract prepared for the Fulton County Highway Department with WTH Engineering was discussed. Scott said the Council would like to see the Highway Department pursue more ground space. Scott said Commissioner Leslie Walters and Councilman Harry Richter were appointed to investigate the possibility of purchasing more property and the information needed. Rich called for a motion to enter into the contract with WTH Engineering. Roger Rose made a motion to approve the Contract with WTH Engineering for the infrastructure portion of the Geographic Information System in the amount of $20,000.00 and Customer Service Fee of $3,500.00. Leslie Walters seconded this motion. Motion passed 3-0. Mr. Ramer and Mr. Fox from the Mennonite Community spoke regarding steel wheeled tractors on the roads. They started with their history, stating that when they first began they were in agreement not to use tire, which related to automobiles; so, it is not new, but from their origin. He went ahead to explain the use of steel wheels and the various marks they would make on the road. He further stated that in Elkhart County there have been incidences where the roads were damaged and the County had to investigate. As he continued by explaining the ordinance by their church that has been enforce for years and they do not want to change that and explained. He concluded by saying they are truly at the mercy of the County, as they do not believe in hiring lawyers or fighting things in court. He stated it was questionable whether or not they should even come to this meeting, as they do not believe in getting involved in government, which makes them slightly different from the Amish. They came to voice their concerns and let it be known the position they are in and the affects it could have on them if restrictions were imposed on them. He said, the rule is read twice a year, which states that they shall not have rubber tires on any self-propelled equipment that a man can ride on. If it is something you walk behind, it is exempt. Sheriff Roy Calvert said he admired and respected these people, but in the State of Indiana there is not to be steel wheeled vehicles on the road because it damages the road. The option of a crossover has been discussed. The Sheriff stated a majority of the roads are just chip and seal, which is not a thick coat of asphalt. He said it is defined in the State Statue regarding the steel wheels. SheriffТs Department: Sheriff Roy Calvert stated that the Plumbing and Electric are coming along fine; and, he will answer any questions regarding the claims. The SheriffТs Monthly Activity Report was reviewed. The ceiling of the recreation room was discussed, as well as, the kitchen. The consensus was for the Sheriff to secure a cost figure. A short recess was taken at this time. Septic Disposal: Roger said there is a big question mark as to what is the CountyТs responsibility regarding this disposal. He asked Al Waltenberger to comment. Al said, they need to know if the County is interested in tapping into the sewage project at Nyona Lake. Rich said the big questions are the cost and who pays it. Al stated between a hundred and hundred twenty thousand dollars. Roger said is that the cost to actually set the facility up. This was discussed. Al said the Board has to let the engineer know tonight if the County wants in on the project. Al said the Board would have to say what they want to do and the engineer can then give them a cost. Roger said he could see we were not in a position to make a decision, as we do not have any money to spend for the project; also, what would be the obligation. When asked the nearest disposal site, Ty Lewis said that Kokomo has quit. You can go to Muncie, Nappanee and Elkhart. The reason Ty went out of business was the restrictions and he explained the requirements. Ty said a couple of years ago he was doing 300 per year. This was discussed and also, the restriction. Roger said he felt it would be good to know what it would cost to hook up later. Roger said he would check on the possibility of any funding, grants, etc. Jim Ewen spoke about a company Airvac was interested in, but choose not to purchase and he explained the process. He suggested the Board talk with Airvac. Emergency Management: Director Susan Griffith informed the Board that the outside faucet had been frozen and is now broken. She had an estimate of the cost. The Board discussed the repair. Susan said with the BoardsТ prior agreement she had a quote from Dell in the amount of $797.02 for a laptop. She again explains her need for the laptop. The consensus of the Board was for her purchase the laptop. It was also noted that Centennial Wireless quoted sixty ($60.00) dollars per month for two (2) phones. This was discussed. Maintenance: Joe Morrow informed the Board it takes thirty days to setup a time for someone to inspect and checkout the courthouse clock; also, the cost would be $350.00. He said it is running now, and asked the Board what they wanted to do. This would be a one-time deal. This was discussed. The consensus of the Board was for Joe to proceed with the clock. They asked him about the landscaping? He said they should finish tomorrow as they have seven people working, if they all show up. They also discussed the stripping of the parking lot. Building Ordinance: Inspector Gary Madlem reported in regards to Sue Fair the big building is coming down and that is going good. The follow-up date on this was set for the July 7th Meeting of the Board. The Mark Sroufe property is all torn down and all cleaned up. On the property at Delong belonging to Bryan & Jackie McKinnze a violation order was mailed, and the letter has been refused twice by them and returned. Gary said he has checked on it and it could possibly be up for tax sale this year. There is $449.49 owed in back taxes on parcel #001-05016-01. This was discussed. Airport Addition: Jim Ewen reported on the addition of the second story at airport. He said besides taking care of the leaky roof the second story provides for a private conference room, for which there have been many requests; also, provides private area for fight crews. Jim stated it also shows the FAA we are not totally dependent on them for everything that is being done at the airport. Jim stated we have received and continue to receive Federal Grants.

There was a discussion on this. Rich said, when Joe is not available, and his services are needed, who do they do call? This was discussed.
