Discussion on
CORSA Renewal |
Dawn Hogrefe, Fulton
County Loss Control Coordinator, Stan Multhaff and Jim Stapleton
from Stapleton Insurance were present to discuss the 2009 CORSA
renewal. Mr. Multhaff stated that overall the CORSA renewals are
up 2.23%, however, Fulton County is down 1.1%. He stated that
there have been 3 property claims so far that were weather
related resulted in $33K, there were 9 auto claims resulting
about $34K, with 1 reserve in the amount of $7500. He stated
that in 2010, there will be a credit available an amount up to
4.3% for counties that have a loss control coordinator.
Commissioner Short asked what other counties have a loss control
coordinator and if it was possible for Dawn to provide services
to other counties to help them out and possibly bring some
dollars back this way. Mr. Multhaff stated that he did not
believe that to be possible right now and that it needed to be
an employee of that county. He stated that in the area,
Williams, Henry and Defiance do participate in CORSA, while Wood
and Lucas do not. Mr. Barnaby stated that 62 out of 88 counties
participate. Mr. Multhaff stated that a new agreement was just
put into place for a 3 year renewal and Fulton County is all set
for the new term. The Board thanked them for coming in. |

John Trudell To
Discuss Ditch Improvement |
Mr. Trudell
presented the Board with pictures of the area. He stated that
there is a lot of debris from the winter and it has floated down
the creek and is now obstructing water flow in the ditch. He
stated that he contacted the Engineer’s office and that he was
told they are restricted on ditch maintenance and that the
matter would have to go back to the original petition. County
Engineer Frank Onweller, had explained to him that he is the
custodian of the ditch maintenance fund but the Commissioners
make the decisions on payments out of the fund. Mr. Trudell
stated that that either the use of ditch maintenance funds are
needed to dip out the ditch or he himself can go in and knock it
down, which he believes will create another problem downstream.
He then asked for the authority for the expense to come out of
the county ditch maintenance fund.
Commissioner Barnaby
asked if a backhoe would work and how long it would take. Mr.
Trudell stated that he believed that a backhoe would be no
problem and estimated that it would take approximately 45 mins
to an hour.
Commissioner Short
stated that he spoke with Trustees from 2 different townships.
He stated that the Engineers and Townships would typically take
care of corn fodder along the roadway, however in the fields it
is considered the landowners responsibility.
Mr. Trudell stated
that this ditch is currently under maintenance and that this dip
out should fall under ditch maintenance under the county. He
stated that if this is not dipped out bigger problems will be
caused downstream.
Commissioner Short
asked if the problem was created due to no-till. Mr. Trudell
sated that all the ground around it has been farmed in every way
with accepted farming practices. It has been chiseled and
residue has been spread to prevent erosion. No one knew that
the wind and rain would pick it up and put it into the ditch.
Commissioner Short
stated that before they set a precedent and start changing the
rules, he would like to speak with the county prosecutor. He
asked Mr. Onweller how these situations have been handled in the
past. Mr. Onweller stated that this is a very unique situation
and is not aware of any like this in the past.
Commissioner Short
asked if Commissioner Barnaby is in accord with having the
prosecutor take a look at this. Commissioner Barnaby that this
request is going against what that money is set up for and that
he would like the prosecutor to look at it also.
Commissioner Short
stated that he does not dispute the obstruction and explained
that if the prosecutor cites that they can take care of this,
then they will, but currently they must observe the rules that
are currently in place.
The Board thanked
Mr. Trudell and Mr. Onweller for coming in. |
