New Business: 

Scott Dudenhoeffer talked to the Commission about concern over the hardening of the cell walls in the Jail.  He reported that he had done the work at the time of construction according to bid specs but he asked why they were using metal studs and wall board.  He felt that the use of FRP was not secure for prisoner housing. The use of joint strips and J channels could easily be removed and could be used as a weapon. He felt that the inner core of cells was done well at construction but that the perimeter cells should be reworked using cement board and 3 coats of plaster to prevent further breakage of dry wall.  The Commission decided to advertise for bid for this project to start after July 1, 2017.

 

The Bank Depository Bids were opened by the Presiding Commissioner at 10 AM.  The two bidders were Legends Bank and Mid-America Bank.  Legends Bank offered a higher interest rate at .17 % over the 91 day US Treasury Bill rate while Mid-America Bank offered an interest rate at .05% over the 91 day US Treasury Bill rate.  Commissioner Glavin made the motion to accept the Bank Depository bid from Legends Bank for the period of July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2021.  The motion was seconded by Commissioner Kliethermes and carried with three ayes in the roll call vote.  County Clerk Steele will report to each of the banks that had submitted bids.
