The following members were present: Richard A. Powell, Commissioner President; Roger D. Rose; Mark J. Rodriguez; James Widman, Council President; Earl Gaerte; Gary Sriver; Christopher D. Sailors; Dave Helt; Judy DeVries, Mike Gearhart; and Denise J. Chandler, Auditor. EMS: Richard Powell reported to the Council that the Commissioners requested the rent for the garage at $800 per month be removed from the EMS contract. He reported the Board signed the EMS contract for five years with a 180-day out clause. He reported that the fees for billing, accounting, and collection will be increased. He said that there is $90,000 in the budget for the new ambulance and the bid for the new ambulance came in $25,000 above that. The Board recommends that money come from the Rainy Day Fund. The last ambulance was purchased in 2002. Richard asked for the consensus of the Council on this issue. Denise Chandler reported a $289,225.30 balance in the Rainy Day Fund. The consensus of the Council was that the purchase of the ambulance is priority. Chris Sailors moved to approve the purchase the ambulance based upon the bid and to make up the difference out of the Rainy Day Fund. Gary Sriver seconded the motion. Motion carried 7-0. Sheriff Merit Board: John Garrett introduced Elaine Beaty with McCready and Keene to explain and answer questions about the retirement board of the SheriffТs Department. She explained that State statutes have changed to allow improvements in the plan. One of which will extend the period of time that a memberТs benefit can be based on. Currently, there is no benefit in continuing to pay into the plan after 20 years. It may be paid into and increased now for up to 32 years. There is also legislation that allows a cost of living adjustment for those who are retired. She said the plan is currently costing 13.5% of payroll as a line item. By adding the extra benefit for people who work beyond 20 years of service would be an additional 3.6% of payroll. Adding the cost of living adjustment for eligible retirees would be an extra 6.1% of payroll. The plan with extra benefits would be 23.2% of payroll. She noted that $12 of every court case filed shares that cost. Jim Widman moved to adjourn this joint meeting of the Fulton County Board of Commissioners and the Fulton County Council at 7:30 p.m. Judy DeVries seconded the motion. Motion carried 10-0.
