Amount Received from Fee For Service Billing. Financial Overview Ц Seven-Year Comparison. He explained the Salary/Employee Information by County & Health Care Costs. He went on to say that the State did not give them any additional funding this year. He said currently they are about a forty-five (45%) percent Medicaid Funding Agency. Following his presentation Larry said he was open for questions. The question was asked about the percentage of drug addicts compared to the total people 4 County served? Larry said there are about 3500 active charts and of those they see right under a thousand a year, somewhere between 25-30% a year. These are people that are in trouble with alcohol or substance. He was asked the average cost per year to treat an individual for drug addiction? Larry said if they go the full length of time its probably $1800.00/year. The program is for twelve weeks, three times each week. This was discussed. He was asked should the State cut back their funding, then what would be their course of action? Larry said they would be contacting the counties to see what services could be downsized appropriately, because they have actively downsized their system and he explained. He stated the hardest program is In-Patient and explained. Larry stated the Board Members representing Fulton County are Gloria Calhoun, Dave Apt and Chad Hartzler. This concluded his presentation. SheriffТs Department: Sheriff Roy Calvert said he had given each one a letter, which perhaps they have not had time to read; however, he is short on several funds. Roy said extra money put in for plumbing couldnТt be used for day-to-day expenses. Roy stated they have a plumber that comes in fixes some of the drains and fixtures that do not work and gets them working, but that can not be paid for from that fund. Roy said the other item he is going to need, some jail mattresses replaced, which has almost depleted the inmate, supplies, which is down to less than a thousand dollars at this time. Chris said in regards to the Additional Appropriation Request of $10,000.00, this was discussed earlier in the year and this for plumber bills pending. This was discussed. Roy was asked the cost of the mattresses needed? Roy could not say how many this covered, but thought it to be around fifteen. Chris said the Appropriation Request from the Sheriff was Account #0101-380-3000-60 Jail-Other Repair Bldg & Structure $10,000.00. Plumber Bills Pending, Emergency Funding needed. Two of the Commissioners had signed the request. This was discussed. Roy said the roof is not leaking any more. Chris asked for a motion on this request. Gary Sriver made a motion to approve the Appropriation Request of $10,000.00 for the Jail-Other Repair Bldg & Structure. Earl Gaerte seconded this motion. Motion passed 7-0. The Sheriff was asked about the project of locks for the Jail, which had money appropriated in Cum Cap for the locks. Roy said, the man working on this was in last week, but has not seen him this week. Chris asked if there was not around $50,000.00 in Cum Cap for that? Roy said, yes. Roy is hopeful they will be installed in the next three months. Chris asked about the Health Care Supplies for the inmates that Roy had spoken about at the CommissionerТs Meeting. Roy had not had the opportunity to investigate at this time, but would answer any questions. Chris said this is in regards to medication costs for the inmates and Roy mentioned another county in Indiana that he was going to look into regarding this issue. Roy said he has a medical bill of over $10,000.00 on an inmate with a broken wrist (which happened in jail) and that is not the total bill. Roy said that over half of the inmates are on medication of some type. This was discussed. It was noted the Commissioners would form a committee (Commissioners & Council Members) to pursue this issue. Highway Department: Superintendent Scott Tilden stated he wanted to inform the Council of his Appropriation Request for $23,500.00 that will come from Cum Bridge to cover the cost of Part 3 of the Think Map. He said he is interested in the infrastructure program with WTH Engineering. Scott told what an asset tool this would be for the highway regarding the bridge and road and maintenance activities. Scott stated that $3500.00 of this appropriation request was for a Maintenance Agreement and can be taken from Cum Cap and it will be installed and complete within in thirty (30) days. This was thoroughly discussed. Chris said this will meet State Requirements and Scott stated that was correct; also, if the State changes its requirements, then WTH will change the records. Scott said they would be trained by WTH on how to work this system. Chris read the Appropriation Request from Cum Bridge - Account #0790-196-3000-00 Bridge Mapping Program $23,500.00 for Fulton County Highway Department. Jim Widman made a motion to accept this Appropriation Request. Harry Richter seconded this motion. Motion passed 7-0. Scott informed the Council that at the May 5th Meeting of the Commissioners he had discussed the need for a Truck Shed and Sign Shop estimated size to be 98 X 66. He explained this to the Council. Scott also had discussed the purchasing of more ground. Scott said he has an estimate that the projects could be done under $75,000.00. This was discussed. Scott was asked how much ground would be needed and he said three hundred feet to the south would give them about five acres. He believes they are presently on 6.5 acres. The Council asked Scott for the Commissioners thought on this? It was suggested that the Commissioners check out the purchase of additional land. Also, Scott said he feels that his crews are capable of finishing out the shops once erected. They also discussed the equipment that is presently being stored at the Fair Grounds. It was suggested that Scott get with the Commissioners, as the Council is aware of the need for the highway. Scott was asked about the Appropriation Request for the Whitmore Ditch in the amount of $50,000.00. Scott explained this in detail to the Council and stated the work would be done sometime in July 2003 because of the DNR Rules. The appropriation is to replace the structure.
