Meeting. 00:00:49.600 --> 00:00:50.260 Motion approval. 00:00:50.600 --> 00:00:51.820 Moved by Mr. Busker. 00:00:54.400 --> 00:00:55.140 I'll second it. 00:00:55.840 --> 00:01:00.420 Second by Ms. Lawfer. Any questions? All opposed? I mean, all in favor? 00:01:00.760 --> 00:01:01.060 Aye. 00:01:01.060 --> 00:01:07.180 All opposed? Ayes, haves. Okay. No public comments. Report two committees. Sheriff's Department. 00:01:07.660 --> 00:01:12.900 real quick for this evening. In the hiring process, we have four that have completed the field training 00:01:12.900 --> 00:01:17.460 program, and they are now released to the patrol. We have two that have graduated from school, and they 00:01:17.460 --> 00:01:23.000 are in the third week of the FTO program, and that is it. We are at full staff for the first time in years. 00:01:25.740 --> 00:01:33.240 You put out the crime suppression unit stats. Okay, I did not see those this time, and that's all I have. 00:01:33.240 --> 00:01:36.400 The only other thing I want to bring up is I want to thank Beth Henning from the zoning. 00:01:37.060 --> 00:01:41.220 I've been working with her and the road commissioners about vendor agreements. 00:01:41.220 --> 00:01:48.940 So when like a company is putting something up, for example, solar, they're using trucks on roads and they're beating up the roads. 00:01:49.620 --> 00:01:58.360 What we found out is some of the county commissioners didn't really know what their authority was to get those roads under control 00:01:58.360 --> 00:02:04.160 and maybe have a permit to allow these vendors to use the roads and then what to do if they do break up the 00:02:04.160 --> 00:02:09.180 roads. So we are in the beginning processes of that. I was able to give them a lot of information. I just 00:02:09.180 --> 00:02:14.120 did that with their commissioner president this morning, Josh. And then the next thing I'm also 00:02:14.120 --> 00:02:19.120 working on when it comes to roads is overweight vehicles. We're finding out overweight vehicles 00:02:19.120 --> 00:02:25.200 are running amok around the county, even when the roads are posted. I believe the latest one that 00:02:25.200 --> 00:02:33.640 was brought to my attention was a $30,000 fine that an overweight vehicle was on a road, a township 00:02:33.640 --> 00:02:39.520 road. And I'm not sure what we're going to do about that one, where that's going to be in the court 00:02:39.520 --> 00:02:48.140 proceedings. But I am sending four people to weight, weight, front weight school. I don't even know what 00:02:48.140 --> 00:02:53.440 it's called because we've never done it before. And then that way, if a road commissioner or a 00:02:53.440 --> 00:03:02.960 County Highway Department person finds a vehicle that they feel is overweight, we can weigh that 00:03:02.960 --> 00:03:07.780 and see if there is a problem. So we're in the beginning stages of that. I've also talked to 00:03:07.780 --> 00:03:12.320 the circuit clerk about fines, and then I will be talking to the state's attorney on how we're going 00:03:12.320 --> 00:03:17.600 to proceed if we do put a lot of time and effort into this, how we're going to handle that. I will 00:03:17.600 --> 00:03:22.440 and I'll keep you up to date on that as I get more information. 00:03:22.440 --> 00:03:23.440 Okay. 00:03:23.440 --> 00:03:24.440 Any questions? 00:03:24.440 --> 00:03:30.720 With being fully staffed, how many activities are you on the road at a time? 00:03:30.720 --> 00:03:32.840 On the road at a time, there's four per shift. 00:03:32.840 --> 00:03:33.840 Okay. 00:03:33.840 --> 00:03:34.840 We will have four per shift. 00:03:34.840 --> 00:03:40.960 So right now we have with the two that are in training, we have three shifts with four and 00:03:40.960 --> 00:03:41.960 one shift with three. 00:03:41.960 --> 00:03:42.960 Yeah. 00:03:42.960 --> 00:03:47.700 overall goal is to get that one, one more person for each shift. 00:03:47.700 --> 00:03:54.140 Before we go ahead and close, I need to back up to get approval of Claim. 00:03:56.460 --> 00:04:10.920 Whether it's public safety at $151,148.96, and public property at $56,452.30. 00:04:10.920 --> 00:04:15.080 sense. Motion to approve. 00:04:15.320 --> 00:04:16.700 Moved by Mr. Busker. 00:04:17.840 --> 00:04:18.320 Second. 00:04:18.460 --> 00:04:21.640 Second by Ms. Lawfer. Any questions? All in favor? 00:04:22.120 --> 00:04:22.320 Aye. 00:04:22.440 --> 00:04:23.440 All opposed? 00:04:23.880 --> 00:04:24.160 Aye. 00:04:24.260 --> 00:04:28.900 Savage. Okay, now we can move on. Emergency Management, A&C. 00:04:30.020 --> 00:04:41.020 Pinship for Scott. If everybody's aware of the tornado that hit the first off, the sheriff and his staff did an excellent job from the beginning of that. 00:04:41.020 --> 00:04:56.440 certainly in the response phase, but now we're in the recovery stage. Yesterday, we toured with the Small Business Administration. They needed 25 major damage dwellings, which we achieved that very quickly, and so now we're just waiting for paper. 00:05:01.450 --> 00:05:02.490 Any questions? 00:05:04.730 --> 00:05:05.090 Okay. 00:05:07.940 --> 00:05:08.780 Call on them. 00:05:08.780 --> 00:05:36.560 For April, we had a total of 43 deaths. We responded to nine of those. Autopsies were performed with three. Cases we signed were 17. Cases the doctor signed was 26. 42 of those were natural and one suicide was zero pending. And the other thing I have to report is that same storm that went through Lena that produced a tornado, our vehicle also suffered some hail damage. 00:05:36.560 --> 00:05:47.060 what that's on, and I believe that's lumped in under the same claim for the rest of the county vehicles, so it's only the one deductible that the county's paying in terms. 00:05:47.700 --> 00:05:47.900 Okay. 00:05:48.500 --> 00:05:49.140 I'll go for it. 00:05:49.340 --> 00:05:49.880 Hello. 00:05:53.380 --> 00:05:54.480 Do you have any questions? 00:05:57.620 --> 00:06:02.300 Mr. Busker, if you have to, how old was the individual who made suicide, do you know? 00:06:02.920 --> 00:06:03.480 I do not. 00:06:03.720 --> 00:06:04.400 I've got my head in. 00:06:06.960 --> 00:06:10.150 Was that city or county? 00:06:10.210 --> 00:06:10.710 I can't remember. 00:06:10.990 --> 00:06:11.870 I don't remember. 00:06:12.150 --> 00:06:12.330 Okay. 00:06:12.610 --> 00:06:21.170 Well, there's no old business, no new business. Any comment from committee members? 00:06:24.550 --> 00:06:25.410 Motion to adjourn. 00:06:26.190 --> 00:06:40.310 I have one statement here. So for the vehicles that got damaged, the three that got damaged for the sheriff's office, for all vehicles that were actually working that night and responding to Lena, the rest of those, we have standing order when there's bad weather that they have to get them inside. 00:06:40.310 --> 00:06:46.550 So all of our vehicles, except for the three that were working, were fine. 00:06:47.010 --> 00:07:02.130 And then the other thing with the tornado that I forgot to mention is if there's a declaration, I believe there is right now, EMA is working on getting reimbursed for a lot of the expense that was created through the tornado. 00:07:02.130 --> 00:07:06.250 So we have all of our fuel usage and all of our overtime has been documented. 00:07:06.430 --> 00:07:10.510 We will be submitting that to EMA if we do get that reimbursement from the state. 00:07:11.070 --> 00:07:12.330 So we're ready to go for that. 00:07:12.510 --> 00:07:15.050 So that's all I have, Mr. Bush. 00:07:17.190 --> 00:07:18.910 I'll make a motion to that, Chair. 00:07:19.810 --> 00:07:21.170 Move by Ms. Lawford. 00:07:21.710 --> 00:07:22.030 Second. 00:07:22.230 --> 00:07:23.490 Second by Ms. Lawford. 00:07:24.310 --> 00:07:25.050 All of this? 00:07:25.270 --> 00:07:26.390 All of this? 00:07:26.390 --> 00:07:26.630 All of this? 00:07:28.630 --> 00:07:31.510 If the person is opening it. 00:07:32.130 --> 00:07:33.630 It's a positive feeling.
