Raising County Road 275: Raising the road over two feet in height will require a broader base that would require additional right of way.  It would have to be built up in layers and will require looking at the resulting change in flooding and an understanding of how floodwaters would recede. It will be an expensive measure and the cost must be known before committing to it.  Andrea Rice is still seeking information from other fire departments about similar problems.  A floodplain permit will also be required.

New Business: 

The Commissioners reviewed and approved the Variance for the Forbis property.  A motion should be made to formalize that variance. Andrea stated that she will complete the paperwork for the Commissioner’s signature.

 

Department Reports:

Andrea Rice had the Presiding Commissioner sign Birthday letters for the month.

She reported that she had received the signed service agreement with RCS.

Andrea Rice, who worked on the procurement policy, commented that it had not been distributed to all departments.

Andrea reported that the Blood Drive had 27 attend with 24 donating blood.

Andrea Rice also informed the Commissioners that the two sites that had been checked for high water marks Steve LePage were at 3.13 and 3.82 feet higher than the Base Flood Elevation.  A new high water mark will need to be set.

Andrea reported that she still gets calls and comments from people that they did not know that their property was located in the floodplain. She talked about finding a way to make owners aware of that fact-which could be handled by the Collector, Assessor, or the Recorder.  Deeds cannot be altered after they have been recorded.  Information could go on Assessors report or on tax invoices.  Assessor has one line open on the form that could say “Floodplain Property”.

            County Clerk Steele reported that his staff will be working on the Budget Amendment so that the process will be completed after his vacation.  He also noted that the August Election will only have one ballot type.   

 

Public Comments: 

            The funding of the TCS invoice was again a point of discussion. This is the bill that we do not know what department and line item needs to pay for this repair of lightning damage.  It was reported by someone to be the amount due for changes in the Insurance bill from 911. It was in fact, the bill for work done to the phone systems after the lightning strikes. The actual bill was the reduced insurance for coverage of volunteers with the 911 Department from Naught and Naught.

Other: Commissioner Kliethermes made the motion to appoint John Deeken to the EEZ and the GVEZ Board. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Glavin and carried with three ayes in the roll call vote. It was signed and will be faxed to MRPC.

 

Adjournment:

With no further business, Commissioner Glavin made the motion to adjourn and it was seconded by Commissioner Kliethermes.  The meeting was adjourned at 10:35 A.M.
