Meeting Called To Order: Council Members present at this meeting were Judy DeVries, Earl Gaerte, Gary Sriver, Christopher Sailors, James Widman, Dave Helt, Kathy Siders and Auditor Denise J. Chandler. President James Widman asked Vice-President Gary Sriver to conduct the meeting due to his voice being hoarse. Council Minutes: Council Vice President Gary Sriver referenced the minutes of the Council meeting on January 23, 2008, for any additions or corrections. Gary called for a motion to approve the minutes as corrected. Chris Sailors moved to approve the minutes of January 23, 2008, meeting as presented. Dave Helt seconded this motion. Motion carried 7-0. Machine Castings Request: Fedco Executive Director Shane Blair said that Fedco loaned Machine Castings Specialties in the amount of $15,000 in March 2004. Under the conditions of the loan, it would be forgiven if certain criteria were met. Machine Castings Specialties was to have 15 full-time employees, continue operations in Fulton County, purchase three additional CNC machines, and petition the Commissioners 30 days prior to the due date for forgiveness. Machine Castings Specialties has been at 15 or more employees for approximately a year, with the exception of a short time when they lost an employee but they will obtain a replacement; operations have been maintained in Fulton County; and three additional CNC machines have been purchased totaling approximately $342,000. The Board of Commissioners recommended Blair also report this activity to the Council. Jim Widman moved to forgive this loan to Machine Castings Specialties. Earl Gaerte seconded the motion. Motion carried 7-0. Sheriff: Sheriff Walker Conley brought documents to finalize the change in the Sheriff Retirement Plan and Benefit Plan from Wells Fargo to Lake City Bank. Gary Sriver moved to sign and approve the plan change documents. Earl Gaerte seconded the motion. Motion carried 6-0-1 (Chris Sailors abstained). Old Business: Denise provided the Board a list of employees and former employees affected by the IRS Taxable fringe benefit audit showing who has and who hasn’t, and those that are re-paying the taxes due. Denise presented a receipt for Jesse and Annalee Sutton having their taxes amended. The Council discussed whether or not to pay for those employees’ amended tax returns. The Council agreed that an employee who is or has paid back their debt to the County for the taxable fringe benefit could be reimbursed up to $100.00 for a paid receipt for the amended return preparation. This would be considered for those employees who submit a paid receipt to the Auditors office. The employees will also need to understand that the amount reimbursed will be added to the 2008 W-2 as a taxable cash fringe benefit. Letters will go to the affected employees. Kathy Siders moved that the County reimburse up to $100 for preparer fees for those employees who have paid or have made some arrangements to pay the taxes that are owed for taxable fringe benefits. Earl Gaerte seconded the motion. Motion carried 6-1 (Judy DeVries). The Council decided to send out letters to those who haven’t yet paid or made arrangements to pay the taxes owed. The Council recommended taking this money from the special CAGIT fund. If all employees paid the tax obligation and requested reimbursement for tax preparation, the cost would be $5,300. The Council reviewed a report of investments. The Council asked Treasurer Judy Reed to report the amount of interest that isn’t already budgeted so that it could be used, possibly, for raw material by the highway department. Reed also reported the County is now down from $1.6 million to just over $1 million in delinquent taxes, having collected over $500,000. A memo to the Commissioners from the Board of Health requested that a Council member be appointed to serve on this committee. Jim Widman moved to appoint Kathy Siders to the Smoke Free Fulton/Kosciusko Counties committee. Judy DeVries seconded the motion. Motion carried 7-0. The Council discussed potential funding for the highway department. The Wheel Tax will, again, be discussed during the March meeting. The Council also discussed potential funding for the EMS. Mayor Smiley will discuss with the City Council the possibility of providing some funding as 80 to 90% of the service is provided to the City of Rochester. New Business: Chris said he attended the Commissioners meeting on February 19, 2008, where one of the issues is the transfer of real estate from the County for the proposed expansion at Woodlawn Hospital. This is needed for the financing of this project. This includes the existing hospital and its footprint, as well as the expansion and its footprint. Woodlawn CEO John Alley explained that the Hospital Association owns the existing hospital and its footprint, except for the cafeteria. Alley suggested drawing a “straight line” excepting approximately 10.36 acres for the County to retain, rather than cutting bits and pieces that the hospital may need. He explained that the Commissioners are comfortable with this proposal. He also noted that the property would continue to be maintained by the hospital, as it currently is. He said the city maintains the paved portion of the walking trail, and the hospital maintains the gravel portion. Kathy Siders moved for a consensus vote in favor of the transfer of this property for the hospital expansion. Chris Sailors seconded the motion. Motion carried 7-0. Gary Sriver introduced a letter from the Indiana State Coroners Training Board. The county coroner has not had the proper training that was to have been completed on the December 31st. Chris will contact Jon Good on this matter. The letter instructs the county to withhold his pay until the required training is completed. Jim noted that letters have been received saying that three trustees did not pass their levels for assessing real estate. This concluded the business transacted. Judy DeVries moved to adjourn at 8:15 p.m. Kathy Siders seconded this motion. Motion carried 7-0.
