Jeff Koch questions the transfers for E-911. Susan Jones, Auditor reported Tracy Lightfield, E911Director had done the transfers setting up the appropriations according to the State Board of Accounts Audit in 2008 on the 911 funds. There is to be the E-911 Landline, E-911 Wireless and County General E-911 Funds set up for individual budgets. Prior to this year fees collected from E-911 Wireless and Landline were put into the same cash line, since the first of the year they are being split into different cash lines. There not being enough dollars to set up the Wireless account, Tracy is taking the Communications Assistant Supervisor position out of County General and setting it up in E-911 and then setting the appropriations per Indiana Code between County General and E-911. After the funds generate in the Wireless Fund, a budget will be set for it.
Scott McDonough questions the $15,900 transfer for Economic Development being transferred to Unemployment. Susan Jones reported a State of Benefits had been submitted from the Unemployment Office for Rene Stivers. When a statement arrives for payment of benefits, it must be paid, funds need to be put in place. Scott McDonough then asked if when the statement of benefits had been received, did anyone appeal the unemployment. Don VonderMeulen reported the Commissioners did not act on the appeal. Eric Roberts reported that Tom Wilson is checking with Gene Stewart on the process.

IT SUPPORT
Don VonderMeulen reported that the IT Committee had meet twice this year so far, the Committee consists of Elected Officials and/or Representatives of the Offices. In the meetings it was discussed the need for IT Support. RBSK has been their IT Support on a as needed basis. Representatives from (5) Offices are present this evening along with Barry Bailey, RBSK and Ramzi Nuseibeh of (MDI) Midwest Data, Inc. RBSK had submitted a Silver Support Maintenance Agreement and MDI had also presented an Annual Support Agreement. The (2) Proposals are different, RBSK has given a price of $19,680.00 would include remote monitoring of network, five hours on site technical support included bi-weekly, four hours remote support per month. MDI had given a price of $4,500.00, would include network in both the Government Center and Courthouse. The Support Agreement buys 24/7 support for unlimited phone support and remote support and rates of $95.00/hour onsite with a $495.00 day cap for support and $60.00/hour with $495.00 day cap on in-house support. Does not charge time for travel or mileage.
Sharon Halcomb, Assessor says she has been a big supporter for an IT Support Person, her ideal situation would be to have someone setting in her office, right now she is relying on Veronica in the Auditor Office to transfer files between the offices. If waiting on Manatron it may take awhile. Marlene Flaspohler, Clerk reported that she already pays for software and case management with CSI. Marlene also reported that their internet has been down for the last several weeks. Brad Spurlock asked if we pay for IT Support, do we still pay the computer maintenance that is in the budgets for Manatron. It was said yes, that is for software support. The IT Support would be working with the software vendors and working on the hardware. Don VonderMeulen said the other problem is dividing the cost between the Offices. Don reported he will set up another IT Meeting with the Committee.
E-911
Tracy Lightfield, E-911 Director reported she has been working with (6) other Counties working on a solution on replacing 911 Equipment. It had been agreed to go for a grant and have been working on a Federal Grant and would call for a 50/50 Grant. There is a Roundtable Discussion that is scheduled for the sometime for the first week of June and invites the Commissioners and Council to attend.
NEW TAX SOFTWARE
Susan Jones, Auditor reported he had asked the Commissioners awhile ago to pursue a new software program for taxes. We have had issues with Manatron support. We have seen a demonstration on software from Low & Associates and had received a price to go with a new software vendor. Recommendation from other Counties that the support is good and programs are user friendly. Several surrounding counties around us have converted from Manatron to Low, Fayette, Ripley and Dearborn are just a few that have recently switched. Low & Associates have given proposal with (4) different payment options. Representatives would be available to come and talk to you. It was asked that they attend the next meeting.
