Meeting Called To Order: Council Members present at this meeting were Judy DeVries, Earl Gaerte, Christopher Sailors, Dave Helt, Mike Gearhart, James Widman and Gary Sriver; also, Auditor, Denise J. Bonnell. Area Planning: Casi Cramer, Fulton County Plan Director, gave the Council an update on Area Planning. She said that they are currently waiting for the Town of Fulton to enact their ordinance. The third reading is planned for their April meeting. Once they enact their ordinance, the County, towns and city will be under the area planning and a Board will be formed. CAGIT Distribution Resolution: Indiana Code says the Council must review the CAGIT distribution annually. A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING CAGIT DISTRIBUTION TO THE FULTON COUNTY SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT DISTRICT RESOLUTION # 032205 WHEREAS, INDIANA COLDE 6-3.5-1.1-1.3 authorizes a County Solid Waste Management District to receive CAGIT funds upon the approval of a majority of members of the County Fiscal Body; and WHEREAS, the failure of the County Fiscal Body to pass a resolution approving the distribution will result in the Solid Waste Management district being omitted from the calculations performed by the State Board of Tax Commissioners in determining the governmental units eligible for the distribution of CAGIT, and WHEREAS, adoption of this resolution would result in CAGIT funds being paid to the Fulton County Solid Waste Management district, at the expense of all other units of local government receiving CAGIT funding. BE IT THEREFORE RESOLVED: that Fulton County Council, by this resolution, approves the distribution of County Adjusted Gross Income Tax (CAGIT) funds to the Fulton County Solid Waste Management District. Upon a vote of the County Council of __1__ aye __6__ nay __0__ not voting, this resolution is adopted/rejected this 22nd day of March, 2005.

Bonnell, County Auditor Earl Gaerte moved to approve Resolution #032205. Jim Widman seconded this motion. Motion on Resolution #032205 is defeated by a 1-6-nay vote (Earl Gaerte voting in favor). Fulton County Treasurer: Judy Reed, Treasurer, described House Bill 1005 and the requirement to provide a comparison of taxes from year to year. She said this must be mailed out to each tax payer for them to complete and return. She said the pilot program in Vanderburg County had a response of approximately one-third of one percent. Judy also requested County Department Head meetings. She was asked to send out a memo informing the Department Heads of a meeting to be conducted on April 5, 2005, at 8:00 a.m. Host Fees Distribution: Total amount collected from Host Fees was $876,759.09, less $66,666.66 to be set aside in a fund for the Fulton County Solid Waste District ($876,092.43). Based upon former calculations, distribution would be as follows: Fulton County $356,440.66 (44%) Rochester City $157,968.02 (19.5%) Northern Indiana Community Foundation $0 (0%) Richland Township $52,656.01 (6.5%) Akron Town $36,454.16 (4.5%) Aubbeenaubbee Township $28,353.24 (3.5%) Newcastle Township $28,353.24 (3.5%) Kewanna Town $24,302.77 (3%) Rochester Township $24,302.77 (3%) Fulton Town $20,252.31 (2.5%) Henry Township $20,252.31 (2.5%) Liberty Township $20,252.31 (2.5%) Union Township $20,252.31 (2.5%) Wayne Township $20,252.31 (2.5%) Total $819,092.43 (100%) Gary Sriver suggested taking a small amount from each of these distributions to set aside in preparation of the U.S. 31 thoroughfare and road work that will probably be necessary to provide access. Earl Gaerte suggested taking a percentage off of the top and leaving the percentages the same but divide the remaining amount with the same percentages. Commissioner President Rich Powell suggested distributing a certain amount rather than a percentage. A decision on the distribution must be made by April 15, 2005, so tabling the subject to work on it is not an option. Earl Gaerte moved to take three percent off the top number to be distributed to retain for projects. Judy DeVries seconded this motion. Motion passed 6-1 (Mike Gearhart). Fulton County Sheriff: Sheriff Roy Calvert introduced the Sheriff’s Merit Board. Calvert asked the Council to provide incentive to those deputies who exceed 20 years of service to the County. Currently retired deputies receive $20.00 plus 50% of their wages as retirement benefits after 20 years of service. They asked the Council to consider giving a 2% increase per year after the deputies 20 years up to 74% of his current income. He asked the Council to think about this proposal for future implementation. Calvert also discussed providing employee evaluations for raises instead of across-the-board raises for all County employees. The Council gave consensus to move forward with the work allowing deputies being able to increase their retirement benefits after their 20-year mark. Mark Kepler: Mark Kepler explained that Lilly has started a new grant program called Cape III where one of four counties eligible will be granted $750,000.00 for adult education. Kepler asked the Council for a letter of support and if they would be interested in helping to support this after the Lilly money ran out. There was discussion regarding the subject. It was the consensus of the Council to support the effort. Council Minutes: Chris referenced the minutes of February 23, 2005, for any additions or corrections. Chris called for a motion to approve the minutes as corrected. Gary Sriver moved to approve the minutes of February 23, 2005, as corrected. Jim Widman seconded this motion. Motion carried 7-0.
