ADDITIONAL APPROPRIATION RESOLUTION 2010-13 – Hollie Maxie reads Resolution 2010-13 Additional Appropriation. Title II HAVA Supplies $1,488.00, Rainy Day Services and Charges $15,000.00, Highway Services and Charges $37,000.00, Cumulative Bridge Supplies $150,000.00, REX Road Repairs Supplies $1,570,996.00 Services and Charges $280,000.00. County Misdemeanant Services and Charges $22,457. It was asked how many roads are needed to be fixed, and will there be enough funds to fix the roads. Eric Roberts replied 50 miles are left to repair that had been damaged by REX. When we negotiated with REX we negotiated on contracting out services, will be using our labor force, and this will be putting wear and tear on the County’s Equipment. The $30,000.00 additional for equipment repair is $10,000.00 for each district. This will be used for maintaining and repairing equipment being used while repairing these REX damaged roads. The worst roads are in District Three. Tom Linkel does not want to appropriate all the funds, maybe half of the $1,850,996.00 of the funds being requested. It was said that there is $3,000,000.00 invested and there would be $1,312,806.00 not appropriated. Don VonderMeulen, we will need to be able to negotiate with contractors and need to have funds in place. Have quotes from Dave O’Mara and Rohe Company and could start in the next 3-4 weeks for asphalt recycling. Need to get the repairs done when the weather is good. Tom Linkel does not like roads refurbished. Eric Roberts, we negotiated for the money and in my district will spend the money very wisely. Bradley Spurlock, we need to get the roads fixed. Carroll Lanning, we need to move forward. MOTION – Bradley Spurlock motioned to pass Resolution 2010-13. Carroll Lanning seconds. All in Favor (3 – Jeff Koch, Bradley Spurlock and Carroll Lanning). Opposed (2 – Kenny Rosenberger and Tom Linkel). Did not Vote (1 – Hollie Maxie). Motion carried.

COUNTY COUNCIL APPOINTMENT TO AREA PLAN COMMISSION BOARD – Jim Suhre, Resident of Brookville asked if anyone of the Council Members had listed to the March 10, 2010 APC Meeting Tape. Carroll Lanning and Tom Linkel said they had listened to the tape. Tom had also followed the transcript of the meeting. Tom Linkel opinion with listing maybe Mr. Kunkel did not have control of the meeting and had not followed parliamentary procedures and if the Area Plan Commission Board did not like the way Mr. Kunkel ran the meeting as President, then they would appoint a new president. With not being there, can say no fowl. Jim Suhre with the regards to disputed works, was said people were not educated. Complaint is not following parliamentary procedures and still defending HNTB’s Proposal. Hollie Maxie said she did talk to Larry Franzman and maybe getting a mediator would be a solution. Tom Linkel said he did make some phone calls for a mediator to come to meetings, but they did not want to take that responsibility. What this being said would not remove Mr. Kunkel form the Area Plan Commission Board. Jim Suhre, the last meeting was better and parliamentary procedures were followed better. Carroll Lanning, maybe there was some miscommunication between Council and Mr. Kunkel. Bradley Spurlock, had attended the last meeting and will be attending future meetings. Tom Linkel, if we make a vote tonight, we can’t tell an appointee how to vote, they are at the meetings. Bradley Spurlock and Carroll Lanning, both agreed, need to come to a compromise and work together and give to the Commissioners for a final decision.
