Brad Spurlock asked about the Transfer Station Longevity Pay. There wasn’t enough allowed in the budget after the longevity was figured after the budget was set for 2009.
Brad Spurlock also mentioned if there is no explanation on the Transfer of Funds request, it will not be granted.
Carroll Lanning asked about the Historical Survey through Economic Development. Joseph Jarzen of Historic Landmark explained the Survey on Historic Places and Structures in Franklin County would be documented. The first survey was published in 1976 and needs to be updated. The Survey would be used as a resource for federal projects, if federal funds are involved then a section 106 review needs to be done, this survey would help the County or Engineer for the project with the section 106 review. The Tourism Board is also supporting this project and had awarded funds of $3,000 to the match. The total federal grant for the project is $32,974.00 need $17,697.00 for the local match. The Town of Brookville, Brookville Foundation, Historic Preservation and Laurel Historic Preservation has put funds to this project.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT Keith Hall, President of the Franklin County Economic Development Commission, along with Myron Kanning, Member is requesting a change in the 2010 Salary Ordinance on the Director’s Salary from $35,000 to $45,000. Asking for a $10,000 raise for 2010, Franklin County is on the bottom on the pay scale in the State of Indiana for the Director’s Salary. Tom Linkel said he has no problem with allowing the extra. Hollie Maxie doesn’t agree, we set the budget. Kenny Rosenberger, we need to think of the other employees. Jeff Koch, this is an open position, to work within the budget that is approved, don’t want to micro manage budgets. Brad Spurlock, don’t want to set precedent. Tom Linkel asked what the average salary is for a director, it was said $65,000.00. Jason Allen, we are looking for an Economic Development Director, we may need to raise the salary. Keith Hall, in looking at the 2009 Budget did not use the $5,000.00 attorney fees, and there are other areas where funds are not used. Jason Allen, we need a qualified candidate. Jeff Koch, looking at it as a transfer within the budget. Tom Linkel asked to compromise with $40,000.00. Carroll Lanning don’t want it transferred out of insurance. Jeff Koch, this County needs Economic Development. Brad Spurlock sees both sides. Kenny Rosenberger, we need to readdress the funds taken away from the Judges, Prosecutor, Commissioner and Council raises.
Tom Linkel moves to increase the Director Salary for 2010 up to $45,000.00 and to stay within their budget and not to be transferred out of the benefit lines. Jeff Koch seconds. All in Favor (4) Jason Allen, Tom Linkel, Carroll Lanning and Jeff Koch. Opposed (3) Hollie Maxie, Kenny Rosenberger and Brad Spurlock.
