Meeting Called To Order: Members present at this meeting were Judy DeVries, Earl Gaerte, Christopher Sailors, David Helt, Harry Richter, Jim Widman, Gary Sriver; also, Denise J. Bonnell, Auditor. President Chris Sailors presiding called on Gary Sriver to lead in the Pledge of Allegiance. Minutes: The minutes of the May 20,2003, meeting were reviewed. Harry Richter made a motion to accept the minutes as corrected. Jim Widman seconded this motion. Motion passed 7-0. Low & Associates: Chris stated this is a Taxing and Software Presentation and everyone was given, a packet at the last meeting regarding this. Auditor Denise Bonnell introduced Shawn Low, stating he would answer any questions about their proposal, equipment, software, their maintenance agreement and anything the Council would like to know. Mr. Low started with a brief overview of the history of the Company. The company is based in South Bend, IN. He noted there are support sites in Elkhart, Hammond and Columbus, IN. The Company was started in 1975. He told of their different clients and said they started work for St. Joseph County, but they did not start work in other counties until the early ninetys when they started in Kosciusko County; also, Clarke County in southern Indiana. He said they now work in fifteen Counties, plus a few being added this year. He said there are Counties in this area that will be converting in the near future. Mr. Low stressed their priority is customer service and support. They do not have a large sales staff; most of their sales are by word of mouth from current customers. Also, they are an Indiana Company working solely for Indiana Counties. Explaining this he stated this year they are particularly working with reassessment and the things going on in Indiana. He said four of their Counties have already sent out their provisional tax bills and are collecting money this year. There was no extra charge for this service, stating those are the type of things that make their company special. Some of the Customers in this area are Noble, Kosciusko, St Joseph, and Laporte Counties. He is just here as a follow-up to answer any questions as our Auditor and Treasurer have already visited with Kosciusko County and spent some quality time with them there and were happy with what they saw. Chris asked Shawn if a lot of our present equipment would work. He stated yes and no from the brief overviews; the auditors office has some newer equipment and some will work, the Treasurers Office from what he has seen, and he explained, most of that will not work. All the PCs will not work. Gary asked if the cost of those software packages were included in this packet? Shawn said they had put in an estimate for hardware without knowing exactly what would be wanted. Also, he stated hardware prices change on a daily bases; so, for the hardware numbers when its time to buy them, they take a look, but they recommend to get prices from them and others, but only buy quality name brand equipment. Shawn told the Council if they should sell the hardware, they do not have a hardware maintenance agreement to sign and be paid for on an annual basis. He said with technology today the machines have a life expectancy of three to five years. Therefore, whatever you buy will come with at least a three-year warranty so you are covered with that period. The auditor was asked how much this would speed up her office? She said they have two computers that are two years old. The Treasurer said they have two PCs that are four years old and that is the newest in her office. That means out of fifteen computers only two are two years old. The auditor called attention to the fact that 2 large printers are included in the price and the thought was that once again, the Auditor and Treasurer could do printing in their offices. The treasurer said last year the cost for her printing was around $8500.00 and that did not include postage. Judy said on this system they could have combined tax statements so that would be a savings in a lot of ways. Denise said that would allow for a printer in each office, Treasurer & Auditor. Auditor said with that, the tax statements could be printed within a couple of days. This was discussed. Shawn said it saves a lot of time; also, he said their machine sorts in zip code order, which helps. Shawn further explained machines bought from their company they would be shipped directly here, and there is time allotted in the proposal to get the equipment setup installed and ready to go. He said, if the time allotted is not used, then the remainder is set aside as an account that can be used for future training, software changes, etc. They work with the County to do whatever is best for the County. The Auditor stated that the Commissioners have given their approval and passed on to the Council for their approval. The Auditor stated if the system were converted they would prefer it done after tax time. She stated the Commissioners have allotted $45,000.00 for equipment into the Cum Cap Development Fund, which is still in there. She continued to explain. Shawn said they have a good working relationship with all their customers and there is also a high level of interest throughout the State for their software and services. He explained the billing and times. Gary stated he was interested in the amount of savings in going with this company. He has no doubt there is quite a savings, but just how much? Judy told the Council she had just received an invoice from the company that purchased Manatron and there was already a ten- percent increase on their support. The auditor said she knows that over $48,000.00 was spent last year to Manatron with software. This was discussed and the consensus of the Council, they would be interested in the savings to be able to possibly pass along and answer questions from taxpayers. This concluded the presentation and Shawn Low thanked the Council for their time and said he would be glad to come back and answer any questions. Dave asked what time schedules the auditor and treasurer were looking at if the switch is made? This was discussed and Shawn said there is a short time when this conversion has to be done between the end of December and first couple weeks of January. This to was discussed. There was a discussion of the Annual Agreement with Manatron and how it should be handled. Chris asked for the thoughts of the Council on this? The Commissioners have already given their consensus to proceed with Low & Associates and Rich said that was correct. Harry asked for the total amount. Auditor Denise said it was around $275,000.00. This was discussed. Chris called for a motion. Denise said this could be paid out of Cum Cap Development as they opened that up year before last to included computer hardware, software, maintenance and annual maintenance, which would relieve County General. Jim Widman made a motion to move forward with the purchase of the Low & Associates Proposals for the County Software and Taxing Software. Earl Gaerte seconded this motion. Motion passed 7-0. FEDCO: Director Mike Busch said he wanted to let the Council know about the projects that have been in the newspaper. The first project with Modern Materials was that of a loan and Grant he said the Company is current on their payments to the Fulton County. There is a lien against the company and a sheriffs foreclosure sale scheduled for July. Mike said he has been working with the Companys owners for about a year. There have several options made available to them and the opportunity to try and work things out. Mike told the Council they will continue to work with the company and that FEDCO was aware this was coming and as of today they are current with their loan payments to Fulton County. Another project has a $20,000.00 Promissory Note; this project was started in 1999-2000, ESP Midwest west of Akron from Fulton County. Mike stated this was basically done as a repayable Grant, it was meant to be a Grant, but certain conditions had to be meant or the Note would become due. One of the conditions was that the company had to operate here in Fulton County for a period of three years, that three-year period will be up in October. The company has been sold to an out-of-state firm, Modern Group USA, Texas, that does not plan to keep the company open; however, Mike said that they did not plan for that continuance, in the Promissory Note, so Mike is working with the Auditor to keep the paper trail straight. He will come back to the Council in the next couple of months with a recommendation and how to address this issue so it will be in compliance with the State Board of Accounts. Mike continued to report on the property taxes collected, and what they are working on. Mike told the Council they are attempting to have a meeting with the company ESP sold to. Mike said yes, ESP had filed bankruptcy to facilitate the sale of the company. This was discussed. Englewood Development Tax Abatement Request: Attorney Ted Waggoner spoke on behalf of Englewood Development; also with him, Mr. Brian McDonald, President of the Company and Kim Benzing, with the Fulton County Housing Authority. Attorney Waggoner stated their purpose for being here is to propose/request Tax Abatement. Attorney Waggoner told the Council they met with the County Commissioners and received their unanimous approval for ten-year tax abatement for this project. Attorney Waggoner explained the project, where it was located and the type of housing it will afford the County, a $2.8 million dollars operation. He continued to inform the Council of the stability of Englewood Development. Brian McDonald, President of the Company spoke to the Council of the type of projects he is involved in and the locations they served. Mr. McDonald said when looking at an audit for the past sixteen years as to where the State and Federal Government have put their dollars it was amazing that, of over a billions dollars for new housing, Fulton County had gotten zero of those dollars. Brian said, late in the year, they obtain more information, then came here and began to work with the City for their support and he further explained how while they were not successful with their first try they came back and found other land and had success with that. He went on to explain this project would be affordable housing for thirty years. He continued to explain the process of obtaining this abatement and the benefits to the County and wanting support from the County. He said over the last 28 years they still own all of the projects. He said another reason they came to Fulton County is statistics show that about 24% of the households in Fulton County qualify according to their income; also, about 20% of the population is paying more than 30% of their income, for their housing. Following a discussion Gary Sriver made a motion that Resolution No. 061703 be read for the first time with the years stated for the Abatement at five (5) years. Harry Richter seconded this motion. Motion passed 6-1. Chris gave the first reading of Resolution No. 061703.

Motion passed 6-1. Jim Widman Opposed. Chris said the Public Hearing would be set for the next Council Meeting, July 23, 2003, at 7:00 P.M. A short recess was taken, back in session 8:35 p.m. Resolution to Borrow Funds From #0176 Cagit Special Distribution Fund: Chris said Attorney Ted Waggoner had some things to bring the Council up-to-date. Ted said he had worked with Auditor Denise to come up with money, should it be needed. He stated to get help from the State would cost around $1800.00; therefore, they have come up with money available without going that route. He asked Denise to go over the list of County Funds for the December draw. Denise said she had handed each one a copy of the list, Estimated Expenses July to December, which is based on the Budget that was approved, and underneath that the Current Year through June to show what we start with and where we are now in the three Funds, County General, Help and Aviation which are the funds they believe we will need to borrow funds for. Ted said assuming that our disbursements stay at about $450,292.00 per month and our receipts are at zero; we would anticipate the County General Fund being about $2,057,000.00 in the red as of December 1, 2003. The Health Fund would be $84,000.00 to $85,000.00 and the Aviation would be $43,500.00 in the red. Ted said the County has funds that will cover that as to where we do not have to outside the County to borrow funds. If we borrow within the County we can pay ourselves the interest and avoid paying the tax warrant. Ted stated this seems to be the long-range better plan than going ahead. Ted stated they have also arranged for providing if these numbers are terribly low, and these numbers are not right. We can still go back and do the other, which will take between thirty and forty-five days to turn that around, and Ted said there is enough money to cover that. Ted asked Denise to read funds where the money can be borrowed from and this would be by Resolution of the Council only if requested. Denise said the Council Members should have their Annual Financial Statement and she has highlighted the funds that can be borrowed on from ourselves. The total of those funds is $4,988,960.00 and that is, if we needed to borrow, the total amount in that fund. Ted went ahead and further explained. It is noted that if these funds are used then they must be paid back by the end of the year. Denise called attention to the estimated expense figure $450,292.00 this was based on the approved budget, no additional appropriation outside the budgeted County General. Therefore, each additional appropriation that is appropriated means the sooner we will be out of money. Ted said he was hopeful this would satisfy the Council and we do it that way rather than go out of the County; also, this meeting your approval, he and Denise will work-up the resolution to make the borrowings over the next few months. Ted explains this. Money for the Bond issue was then discussed and making sure the money is available. This was too was discussed. The consensus of the Council was in agreement with the method presented by Ted and Denise. The question was asked Treasurer Judy Reed if people were paying their taxes, Judy said she has a $1,000,000.00 coming in as estimated for Spring. She reported a check received last week from NIPSCO for $184,000.00. The question was asked when this money would be available for use. Denise stated, after we have Tax Rates. Denise explained to the Council how she had gone ahead and disbursed money, after checking with the State Auditor. Sheriffs Department: Sheriff Roy Calvert informed the Council he wanted to keep them informed of what is going on at the County Jail. He said his biggest problem was over-crowded and not enough staff to take care of what we have. He spoke of taking the DOC inmates out, but that didnt solve it. He said he does not mind putting them on the floor, but he does not have the staff to watch them. He told of an attempted suicide, which they took to Howard County. He said he has no idea of the medical expenses involved. He spoke of the expense from the Pharmacy. He said, it had been 30-32 until six months ago, now its 40 to 50. He stated there are a lot of drug problems. He said there is only one Jailer per shift; on the day shift there are two and one does the transportation of the inmates. He explained this. He mentioned the fact there has been nothing up-dated in the jail. He also told of the duties of the Jailers on the different shifts. Sheriff Calvert gave a letter to both the Commissioners and Council with enclosures, a letter, regarding Jail Security together with Incident Reports. Sheriff Calvert said he was asking for seven new people, but he can take three and get by. He said he has to have help and mentioned the possibility of being sued. He continued to explain and stated he thought he could get by with two people on a shift/float. He mentioned again the double bunking, taking DOC inmates South, etc. He said realistic he needs three people. The length of stay was asked? Some cannot make bond, some have not been sentenced, etc. The hearing for the inmates was discussed. Sheriff said he believes the Justice System is the problem. This was discussed. It was noted there is no rehabilitation available for those on drugs, and its not getting any better. Sheriff said this is a real problem and he is not able to handle it anymore. Roy was asked the capacity of the Marshall County Jail? Roy said it was 46 and they are holding sixty plus and they have been mandated by the State/Federal to build a new jail. This was discussed. He was asked about part-time help again. Harry Richter said he would like to make a recommendation that the Council try to solve this problem, by having the sheriff work-up an Additional Appropriation to present to the Council in July to hire some extra people; also, I would like to recommend that either Chris or the President of the County Commissioners write to the Judge and to the Prosecutor and try set-up a meeting between the Judge, Prosecutor, Sheriff maybe all the Commissioners and at least one or two Councilman to talk about the fact that seems to be a bottleneck and what can be done about the situation. We cannot afford to keep some guy six months just waiting to go to trial. We are feeding him, housing him, etc., just waiting for him to go to trial. The auditor stated an additional appropriation, for obvious reasons as not having a budget; it cannot come out of County General, where are you suggesting it come from. The Sheriff said this is an emergency, and he doesnt know how to do it. This was discussed. Chris asked if it is common to have a Task Force, as this is a problem that is not going away. The discussion continued. Gary said with 50 to 60 inmates he feels we should do something. The thought was how could we hire someone until we have the money. There was a lot of discussion. Chris said it was the recommendation to take the money from the Cagit Special Distribution Fund that shows a balance of $674,568.28, which lowers the balance to around $600,000.00. Gary stated he is suggesting it only be taken out of Cagit what is needed to fund a full-time jailer through December 31, 2003. This too was discussed. Gary clarified his suggestion to Roy of a full-time Jailer for the rest of the year, from the Cagit Fund, which Roy said would be around $17 to $18 thousand dollars. Gary stated that would be full time. That was the consensus of other Councilmen. Earl said he feels we need, two, which would mean $34,000.00. If the inmates should lessen then one jailer should be let go. This was discussed. Chris feels this might permit time, which other avenues can be investigated; there again, possibly a Task Force. This was discussed. Gary and others feel we need to pursue our legislators, as this levy will not work for us anymore. This was the consensus of the Councilmen. Judy asked about the Grant the Sheriff got last year? The Sheriff said he would look into that. It was noted that the Judges and Prosecuterers are as much a part of the systems problem as anyone else. The money that would be needed was then discussed. Gary said he would make a motion that the Council has given a consensus vote to give the Commissioners the right to consider Roys request, for two additional full-time Jailers, until December 31, 2003, and related expenses out of the Cagit Special Distribution Fund. Earl Gaerte seconded this motion. Motion passed 7-0. Additional Appropriation: Sheriff: #0101-380-2000-22 Jail-Supplies-Inmate Supplies $5,000.00 Judy DeVries made a motion to approve this Additional Appropriation as presented. Jim Widman seconded this motion. Motion passed 7-0. Highway Department: Superintendent Scott Tilden informed the Council he has applied for a Grant for a Grade Crossing Safety Improvement Project on our railroad crossings in Fulton County; there are twelve on the County road system, basically the Wilson; these are about 15 years old and faded. He applied for a total of $10,907.40; it is a reimbursement project. Scott detailed the project, which will include; new advanced warning signs, that will be twenty-four signs, one on each side of the crossing, railroad markings at eleven of the crossings, that is an X with a double R painted in the roadway, stop bars with it and 11,420 feet of solid double yellow thermoplastic no passing zones coming up to the railroad crossings. This program is 100% reimbursable. Scott feels he will know whether or not he will receive this grant sometime in July or August. Scott said the INDOT had $465,000.00 available for this. Scott informed the Council that he went before the Commissioners at their meeting last night. He said typically they run four tractors with mowers, mowing the County roadside; and, they try to mow them three times a year. Scott said a couple of years ago they purchased two new tractors and two new mowers to replace some of the old ones. Scott said he has a 1996 and a 1989, remainder and 5 mowers, of which 2 are junk. Scott said had gotten two quotes on replacing a tractor/mower. Rochester Ford New Holland was the lower quote by about $15,500.00. Scott said what really interested him in the deal was the fact they gave zero percent interest, and he has never had that before. He is asking the Council for their approval to go ahead with the purchase. Scott explained that he would have money next year not having any a grader or roller payments. He explained that it was zero interest with no payment for a year. Scott explained his deal. Scott said it would take possibly a month to get the tractor and mower. Scott said he had 800 miles of road and counting both sides is 1600 miles for four tractors is not too many. Gary made a motion to give Scott the permission to proceed with the purchase of the tractor and mower from Rochester Ford New Holland. Harry Richter seconded this motion. Motion passed 7-0. Library Appointment: Chris informed the Council that Dave Ewick had given them a list, of person who was interested in serving on this Board that could be contacted. Dave Helt said he had contacted three. Harry noted that this is a County Library and he feels it has several Rochester people now. This was discussed. This term would begin July 7th, 2003 for four years. Harry Richter made a motion to appoint Nancy Reinholt to the Library Board of Trustees. Earl Gaerte seconded this motion. Motion passed 7-0.
