9:03:11 AM Rescind Resolution 2005-750 in the matter of Amending the County 125C Plan and Addendum
 
2 1/2 month extension creates some logistical issues - one excludes the other. Mr. Votava explained further. In order to participate in the HSA, the resolution granting 2 1/2 month extension will need to be rescinded. Sam Merillat was also present for the discussion. He stated that the board could state to AFLAC that the affected employees (18 who still have dollars in their FSA) are ineligible for that grace period. Mr. Votava asked if he was saying this would be on a case by case basis. Mr. Merillat said yes. Commissioner Graf clarified that the employee with the FSA has 90 days to spend that '06 money. Mr. Merillat said that's correct, there is a 90 day runoff period. Mr. Votava's thinking is that the resolution be rescinded because it would be the simplistic view. Calendar based FSA's would be a proposal for future. He will work with the 18 employees to make sure they understand that they need to get their dollars spent down. The 90-day runout does not go away. The Commissioners agreed that rescinding the resolution would be the simplest. Mr. Merillat said that the 125 plan would need to be amended as well.

Rescind Resolution 2005-750 Commissioner Barnaby made the motion. There was no second so the motion dies for a lack of a second. Commissioner Graf said that he would rather see the resolution. One will be prepared.
9:21:31 AM Mr. Votava introduced Mechelle Fisher, the new maintenance employee to the Commissioners.  
9:22:04 AM Executive Session - Personnel
Resolution 2006-808
Commissioner Genter made the motion and Commissioner Barnaby seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously
9:36:14 AM Discuss Jensen Bridge

















Resolution 2006-809
Fred Eldridge was present for the discussion. Mr. Hall reviewed the Jensen Bridge drive issue for the Board. A letter had been written to the property owner as an enticement with money contribution to assist them with that. An obstruction has not been determined so there are no FAA dollars available. Jensen Bridge now expects the county to put in the road. Mr. Hall had thought to have the CIC look at the issue and use CIC to move the dollars. Mr. Eldridge said that he found a document recorded as an easement. He said that he told Mr. Giroux the county would support moving ahead with that driveway with support up to $50,000. Mr. Giroux said that he recalls that the county said they would put in the road and that is what he remembers. Mr. Hall said to move this forward he would recommend getting the $50,000 to the CIC so that they can go ahead with the access drive. The bottom line is that the county has no authority to go in and construct a road on his behalf. Commissioner Graf asked if it would make sense to have the County Engineer buy the right-of-way in order to make it reimburseable. Mr. Hall said not really.

Mr. Eldridge will check to see what exactly is recorded so that it can move forward. Answers from Mr. Burkhard and the FAA will be sought as well.

Commissioner Genter said process it through.

Carryout commitment to Jensen Bridge in the amount of $50,000 through the CIC.
Commissioner Genter made the motion and Commissioner Graf seconded the motion. Motion carried 2 to 1 with Commissioner Barnaby abstaining.
10:02:33 AM Public Hearing - Amendment to the Fulton County Subdivision Regulations and Approval of Master Plans and Studies by Townships to be added as Appendix to the Fulton County Comprehensive Plan





Resolution 2006-810
Commissioner Graf opened the hearing. Steve Brown, Fulton County Regional Planning Director, was present for the hearing. Commissioner Graf asked Mr. Brown to provide a brief synopsis on these issues, which he proceeded to do. Wider easement to from existing 30-feet to 60-feet for agricultural or forestry easement was recommended. Adding language to address large lot parcel splits (5-20 acres) involving land contracts. Using ODOT standards for access spacing requirements was also part of the recommendation.

There is no waiting period for the recommendations to be approved.

Commissioner Graf closed the hearing at 10:13 AM.

Commissioner Barnaby made the motion and Commissioner Genter seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously

Mr. Brown then addressed the studies and appendix to the Comprehensive Plan. He would like the Commissioners to reaffirm the Regional Planning Commission's recommendation to confirm these studies and add them as an appendix to the Fulton County Comprehensive Plan. Mr. Brown will work with the Clerk to prepare a resolution and present it on Thursday.

Commissioner Graf asked what kind of teeth the Regional Planning could put into the parcel splits to insure there is stormwater drainage outlets. Mr. Brown agreed this is essential. He added that drainage is addressed somewhat in the new Health Department regulations on January 1, 2007.
