| 9:29:29 AM | Richard Stout, Swancreek Township Trustee - Discuss Fulton County Watershed Resolution 2005-502 |
Mr. Stout referenced a resolution passed by the Swancreek Township Trustees and requests the Fulton County Board of Commissioners to join their pilot watershed project by TMACOG. Commissioner Genter asked if there would be some other organization that could handle this project instead of TMACOG for instance Extension or Soil & Water. Mr. Stout said there probably are. Steve Brown, Fulton County Regional Planning Director, commented that what they are doing is a good idea. He added that Extension and Soil & Water are involved somewhat already in the project. Commissioner Graf asked if this study would determine areas that are not to be developed. Mr. Brown said that development areas as well as non-development areas would be designated. Commissioner Graf asked if our Natural Resource work would be used and Mr. Brown concurred. Commissioner Genter said his concern with a study like this would be something that would hinder personal property rights. Mr. Stout would like a resolution of support for the Swancreek Towship Trustees as well as the County Commissioners support of the project. Commissioner Genter said that he could support this project as far as Swancreek Towship was concerned but did not think that it was that great for the rest of Fulton County. Commissioner Graf asked if they would accept a resolution of support for just Swancreek Township. Mr. Stout said that this would just enable TMACOG to apply for a grant - it would not guarantee that they would get it. Commissioner Genter would like to see a presentation from TMACOG before deciding. Commissioner Graf added that he doesn't think it's a bad idea for the Township but expressed concern about the rest of the county. Commissioner Barnaby moved to support the Swan Creek Pilot Watershed Project by TMACOG. He said we need to protect what we've got. The motion died for lack of a second. Commissioner Graf said that's what bothers him - exactly who is or what authority is going to protect these streams and waterways. Commissioner Genter added that every time a paper is signed it gives someone authority to go to court with that paper. Commissioner Graf said what he would be willing to do today would be to do a resolution supporting Swancreek Township. He expressed nervousness over a study of this nature. Commissioner Genter agreed. Commissioner Graf moved to support the study for Swancreek Towship participation. Commissioner Genter seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Commissioner Graf added that if TMACOG does not get their 75% support, then they can come in and do a presentation to the Board. | |
| 9:57:57 AM | 2nd Public Hearing - CDBG Water & Sewer Funds for Elmira/Burlington Wastewater Collection & Treatment Project | Jan Burkhard was present for the hearing. Commissioner Graf opened the hearing at 10:00 a.m. and turned the hearing over to Commissioner Genter since he could not participate due to his residence in the area. Mr. Burkhard gave background on the project. $1,685,500 is the estimated total cost. He noted there is a $300,000 line item allocation in the FY2006 Energy and Water Development Appropriations Act from Congressman Gilmor as well as an $800,000 line item allocation in the FY2006 Interior Appropriations Bill for the elmira/Burlington Wastewater Cooection and Treatment Project from Senator DeWine. These two funding allocations are grants. The county wishes to submit a water & sewer grant application to the Oiho Department of Development for $585,500. Commissioner Genter asked how good would our chances be in getting this money. Mr. Burkhard said he thinks the odds are good in getting the funding. Engineering has begun and is anticipated to be completed in early September. The plans will then be submitted to EPA for approval and for the Permit to Install. As soon as the plans are submitted to EPA the CDBG Water & Sewer application will be submitted to the ODOD. If all goes well construction should begin in 2006. Commissioner Genter closed the hearing at 10:09 a.m. | |

| 11:00:09 AM | Fulton County Airport Authority FBO Committee - Discuss FBO | Glen Lammon and Dan Garvin were here representing the Airport Board. Commissioner Graf said input was desired from the Airport Authority Board to see what their thoughts would be regarding the FBO process. Jan Burkhard was also present. Contract language was discussed as part of this process. All utilities have been furnished in the past. Mr. Lammon said that most of the other airports have a seperate meter - safety and security were on the county meter and other areas were on the FBO meter. He thought that the hangar money should be retained and pay the utilities (current expenses) out of that. Commissioner Graf thought that adding an additional meter would involve quite a bit of cost. Commissioner Genter said he agreed with retaining that hangar rental money. Mr. Garvin said that additional revenue would come in handy in offsetting expenses. Commissioner Graf asked if that would be a negotiable part of the interview process. Mr. Garvin and Mr. Lammon both agreed this would be a good idea. Commissioner Genter mentioned a management fee. Commissioner Graf also brought up the monies paid for the mowing out there. Mr. Lammon said that in the past it was part of the FBO's responsibilities and he did not know how it started that they were paying them for the mowing. Commissioner Graf said that his understanding was that Lawrence Dieringer used to do it when he was on the Airport Board and then when he decided he didn't want to do it anymore and then Rupps had to do it. They decided they didn't want to do it for nothing and it was not a part of the contract so he recalled that's how paying them got started. Mr. Garvin said he agreed the FBO should be responsible for the maintenance. Equipment should be furnished but additional compensation should not be a part of it. Commissioner Genter asked if there had been any thought on hiring an airport manager. Mr. Lammon said that at some airports he had researched they hired an airport manager in addition to a FBO. In looking at the two applicants Mr. Lammon said he found each had strong points but in different areas - one in management and one in flight school and fuel sales as an example. Commissioner Barnaby said that the former FBO said there was not enough income to keep them going, then how could it support two? Mr. Lammon's thought would be the manager position would be an operations person and the FBO would be more into maintaining aircraft etc. Commissioner Graf said that he would rather have some of these issues ironed out before the interview process starts. Mr. Lammon said their goal is to bring it back to a full-service operation. Commissioner Graf asked Mr. Hall what his thoughts were on this - would the executive committee sit in on the interviews? Mr. Hall said yes, they should be at the table. Commissioner Genter suggested hiring a part-time manager in the interim so that a decision would have to be made under duress. Mr. Garvin said he liked that idea as well. The lack of fuel out there has become a safety issue. Mr. Burkhard said the mechanic out there would be interested in managing the airport part time - he has basically been doing that anyway. Commissioner Genter stressed that there has to be an exit strategy with the Rupps leaving at the end of the month. A question has been posed by Steve Rupp regarding them continuing to rent the apartment there when their contract was up. Consensus was that this would not be something that could happen according to the contract. Mr. Garvin said that an one person FBO would be the best case scenario but using two could be an interim or temporary plan. He asked if it would be the Commissioners' position to fill it temporarily or the Airport Board. Making this person or persons county employees is not desireable and could be addressed by contract language. An exit strategy with the Rupps will be worked out. Commissioner Genter said he feels they should be done today because they have not abided by the contract. Commissioner Graf said yes, but we don't have anyone to run the airport. Commissioner Genter said that maybe we could word a contract to apply to have an interim manager. He added that the last day of rental of the apartment should be addressed as well. Commissioner Graf stated that by their resolution dated August 4, Jan and Vond were given authority to ensure ongoing operations. Mr. Stickley said that he believes Rupps should be done at the end of the month and should be moved out of the apartment at the same time. Commissioner Graf asked if they wanted conversations to start with the two applicants to get their vision of what they want to do out there. Mr. Garvin said yes. Interviews can be set up. Approval of having Shawn assuming managerial operations out there could be done Thursday. Mr. Stickley said it might have to be a joint contract with Shawn and Mike. Commissioner Graf stressed the importance of having Vond and Jan involved in all decisions and conversations. Mr. Stickley asked who would be sending the letter to the Rupps? Commissioner Graf said that it would have to be signed by Mr. Garvin as president of the airport board and by the Commissioners as well. Vond was authorized to do the letter. Verbage will be included with regards to the fuel and hangar rentals also. Mr. Lammon said it is important to have all information presented for their meeting Thursday evening. | |
