The follow members were present: Richard A. Powell, Commissioner President, Roger D. Rose, Leslie R. Walters, Christopher D. Sailors, Council President, David J. Helt, Judy DeVries, Earl Gaerte, Gary Sriver, Mike Gearhart, and County Auditor, Denise J. Bonnell. The Fulton County Board of Commissioners and the Fulton County Council met with Todd Samuelson from H.J. Umbaugh to discuss the refinancing of the bonds for the Courthouse and County Office Building. Mr. Samuelson discussed with the Council and Commissioners the advantages, disadvantages and options of refinancing the bond. He explained that the interest rate is low but fluctuating. He explained that one option provided a savings in interest of roughly 1.5 to 1.7 percent (a new interest rate of 3.72 versus the old interest rate of 5.43) and a net savings of about $85,000.00. Another option would provide net savings of just over $400,000.00 but would require the use of additional County monies from the CEDIT fund. There was much discussion on the matter. Mr. Samuelson noted that there needed to be a resolution to move forward, if that is the wish of the County. Denise Bonnell received a questionnaire regarding health insurance for the County employees and the possibility of pooling with other counties to lower the cost of the group health insurance. Denise was instructed to complete the questionnaire and to respond that someone from Fulton County would be interested in attending a meeting in regard to this topic. Highway Department Superintendent Scott Tilden talked to the Council and Commissioners about continuing the highway departmentТs receiving host fees which is expected to expire in April. He reported that the highway department needs these funds due to declining State funding and increased costs to maintain county roadways. Gary Sriver feels that the Council is in favor of extending the host fee to the highway department. Roger Rose suggested implementing a wheel tax to provide some funding for road maintenance. Also discussed was the lack of a plan regarding the US 31 thoroughfare. There was discussion about putting together a group to create a plan or common vision for the County. Commissioner President Richard Powell brought up the fact that there is money needed to tear down buildings that have gone through Unsafe Building hearings with no result or response from the owners. There was discussion of adding this to the budget to allow for the demolition of these buildings and putting a lien on the property to recoup some of this expense. The demolitions of buildings in the incorporated towns of the County will be the expense and responsibility of the incorporated town, not the County. An executive meeting to discuss a real estate purchase will be conducted on March 22, 2005, at 5:00 p.m. prior to the Fulton County Council meeting. Gary Sriver moved to adjourn the meeting at 3:12 p.m. E.S.T. Dave Helt seconded the motion. Motion passed 8-0.
