9:19:14 AM	·Further Discussion on Budget Cuts		Vond Hall, County Administrator, stated that pursuant to their previous discussions, he took a look at the impact of hours of operation and the potential savings. He said this unearthed a potential issue with classified employees and he asked the prosecuting attorney to join the discussion today. Mr. Haselman stated that he would need to take a look at each individual employee to determine if they are classified.  Mr. Hall explained that his figures are rough estimates as he did not make the determination of whether the employees were classified or not in his calculations.  This estimate is also based on all elected officials participating.  He stated that the law grants the appointing authority to furlough all staff 80 hours, which would result in a savings to the general fund of $98K annually.  The furlough would not go into effect until 2010.  The hour reduction does not apply to all staff as it gets into the issues discussed regarding classified employees and the appointing authority to participate.

Public Sewer is available from SR109 and Public Water is available from US20A.  This area is also served by a high grade power line and other public utilities.  The area is ideal for large manufacturing or warehousing due to the large amount of undeveloped land and accessibility to the Ohio Turnpike.   The Regional Planning Commissioner was in support of rezoning that area.  He stated that this amendment will not include the houses located on CR H.    Mr. Brown stated that a 2nd hearing was also held on July 14, 2009 on proposed amendments to the Fulton County Zoning Resolution:   Article 10-5.5(2)  Fences, Walls, and Other Protective Barriers   It was recommended that this section be amended as follows, in pertinent part:   2.  Residential Parcels    Plantings, Fences and Walls in Side and Rear Yard Fences:  Fences constructed within a side or rear yard shall not be higher than six (6) feet except as provided herein.  Fences located adjacent to farmland shall be a minimum of five (5) feet from the property line.   Language removed   Article 100-23      Definitions   Dwelling, Single Family:    Section i.  Amended:  Before any manufactured home or relocated manufactured home can be legally occupied, inspections must be performed by OMHC approved and certified inspection agencies and inspectors.  There must be three inspections before the manufactured home will be approved for final occupancy.  The three required inspections are:  1) Footing Inspection, 2) Electrical Service Inspection, and 3) Final Inspection.  Certification of each shall be provided to the County before a Zoning Permit will be issued.   Manufactured Home:    Removed:  A non-self propelled building unit or assembly of closed construction fabricated in an off site facility, an which conforms with the federal construction and safety standard established by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) pursuant to the Manufactured Housing Construction and Safety Standards Act of 1974, and that has a label or tag permanently affixed to it certifying compliance with all applicable federal construction and safety standards.     Amended:  A building unit or assembly of closed construction that is fabricated in an off-site facility and constructed in conformance with the federal construction and safety standards established by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development pursuant to the “Manufactured Housing Construction Safety Standards Act of 1975” and that has a permanent label or tag affixed to it, certifying compliance with all applicable federal construction and safety standards, ORC 3781.06 (c)(4).   No testimony was given.   Commissioner Short closed the Hearing at 10:25:35.   Commissioner Barnaby made the motion to approve the amendments as presented and Commissioner Genter seconded the motion.
