Carl Buehrer, Fulton County Historical Society -
Request for 2007 Budget Allocation and Update
|
Mr. Bueher is the Society's vice president. He
reported lots of changes with 4 new trustees. The museum
director has resigned and the Society is looking for a
replacement. A job description has been developed as well as
direction for the various committees. Hours have changed for the
museum. A replacement for the treasurer has also been hired. The
Society will be seeking some extra financial assistance through
grants and fund raisers. Mr. Buehrer feels that the museum needs
to be promoted. They have appointed a long-range planning
committee to set some goals. Mr. Buehrer also said they are
looking at some decisions in this area as the museum location is
not the best, it is not accessible to all ages or those with
handicaps, and the building is costly to maintain and operate.

Robert Hartman, Fulton County EMS/EMA Director -
Review Year-End Numbers for ALS and Contract Renewals |
Mr. Hartman presented a packet of information
for the Commissioners to review. He noted they are still trying
to figure out the software. He explained the billings and how
the process works in reduction, collections, or the foregoing of
balances not paid by insurance for Fulton County residents. The
question was asked how often the Commissioners would like a
report. Commissioner Genter responded that quarterly would be
sufficient. Mr. Hartman commented that they receive a lot of
help in this process from LifeStar, who did the billing
previously.
The $100 rebates to the entities were looked at and explained by
Mr. Hartman. The majority of the runs are over $100.
Commissioner Short asked if there was an average run cost. Mr.
Hartman responded with those amounts vary from $396 to $450,
depending on the type of the call...ALS, BLS, mileage, etc.
Electronic run reports are being sought for all departments in
the county. Life-Pack 12's could make a huge difference in the
lives of the patients. They are about $15,000 apiece. The
Life-Pack 11's are wearing out and they are having a hard time
getting those repaired. A request that Mr. Hartman is presenting
today is for the Life-Pack 12's. Commissioner Genter would like
to see some numbers on the entities that are contracting with
LifeStar. The ALS contracts are coming up for renewal and Mr.
Hartman offered any assistance his department could provide.
Commissioner Genter said before the Board considers the request,
he would like to see the contracts taken care of. |

Back in session |
Elmira/Burlington Sewer Line discussion...Tom
Rupp, Ken Crowell, Ziad Musallam, and Jan Burkhard were all
present. Mr. Rupp was present representing the Rupp family.
Mr. Burkhard explained the situation that has developed
regarding the LMI requirements on the CDBG program. Mr. Rupp
said in other words, then the county only wanted to include
those 4 homes to get them over the mark. Mr. Burkhard said it
had more to do that those homes were part of the contributing to
the pollution and basically those 4 homes will get the sewer
free. Mr. Rupp said that not everybody knew about the EPA money
and Mr. Burkhard responded that there were public meetings held.
Mr. Rupp said that the farmer whose ground was going to be
required to cross should have been approached first - he sees
that he will be the bad guy in this situation. Commissioner
Genter asked what his concerns were about going across his
field. Mr. Rupp said tile and that to have his fields cut up for
something that has no benefit to his family did not make sense.
his family could not figure out why those 4 homes were so
important - he feels screwed because now the grant depends on
their cooperation. Commissioner Genter said he was never aware
that those 4 houses were a necessity to obtain the grant. Mr.
Rupp asked if the grant would be lost if they did not agree. Mr.
Burkhard asked if the county provided substantial compensation
and worked with them to assure tile or crop damage would be
taken care of could assist them in their decision. Commissioner
Genter asked if Mr. Rupp had been made aware that the manholes
would be buried. Mr. Rupp said those discussions had taken
place. He added that he is giving up his family's rights because
that pipe would be under his farmland forever. Commissioner
Genter asked what he thought would be proper compensation. Mr.
Rupp said it doesn't matter what he thinks. He added that he
would be the bad guy if he said no because those 4 homes would
be condemned and he would have to put people out of their homes.
20 feet of permanent access easement had been requested of the
Rupps and Mr. Rupp said that it will take more like 30 to 40
feet on a temporary basis to do the job. Mr. Musallam said
probably, but the permanent easement would still be 20 feet.
Commissioner Genter asked again what kind of dollar figure they
had in mind. Mr. Rupp again said that his family had not talked
about that. Mr. Musallam said that the final amount had yet to
be determined. Mr. Rupp said that they are looking at about 5
years to get that ground back to where it was. In response to
Mr. Rupp's earlier question, Mr. Musallam said that the scope of
the project would probably have to be changed. Mr. Rupp asked
then if the monies would be lost if they said no...Mr. Burkhard
resonded that it would definitely change the LMI percentage
needed. He added that the EPA has already started the process of
sampling these ditches and offending homes will have to update
their systems. Mr. Burkhard stressed the importance of taking
the opportunity. Mr. Rupp said he hates being stuck in the
middle of a situation that is beyond his control. Commissioner
Genter apologized and said the county had no idea that this
situation would become an issue. Mr. Musallam asked if they
could confirm the issue with the state before doing anything.
Commissioner Genter said yes. Mr. Musallam stressed to Mr. Rupp
that there will be no tap fees to these people....there is also
assistance if they can prove financial need to go from the house
to the line. Mr. Rupp said his concern was the assessment.
Commissioner Genter asked if Mr. Rupp could go to Mr. Musallam's
office and have conversation about the crop damages etc. Mr.
Rupp said yes, now that he is aware of what the need is, he just
hates being put in the middle. Commissioner Genter reiterated
that the board really thought those houses would just not be
part of the project when they declined the easement offer...they
had no idea of how it really would affect the project. He
offered advice if they agree...keep the top dirt - he knows it
takes a lot of time to get it back to where it was. Mr. Rupp
said that he doesn't want to have to take time off work to watch
the workers since he has already had a bad experience with them.
They will have more conversations. |
