· Resolution 2009-211
Allow Participation in ODOT Cooperative Purchasing Program for
Rock Salt for 2009-2010 Season |
Frank Onweller, County Engineer was
present for the discussion. He stated that they are taking the
normal procedure and splitting it in two. Typically they would
bid for themselves w/villages and townships included. Now they
are taking part of that quantity and going with ODOT and we will
most likely see 2 separate contracts for the 2009-2010 season.
The quantity in June won’t be as high as we would normally see
at that time. Through this contract it is required that 80% of
what is requested must be purchased but it can be up to 120%.
Currently, most vendors do not have a minimum, however the
quantity is capped and if above that amount, the price goes up.
Commissioner Genter inquired if the townships would have to have
their own individual contracts with ODOT. Mr. Onweller
explained that they would so that the County would not be
obligated for the townships 80%. He has allowed them to use
their facility and have salt delivered to his place.
Commissioner Genter made the motion
and Commissioner Short seconded the motion. Motion carried
unanimously. |

Ken Caldwell & Anita Smith |
Ken Caldwell, Director of Job and
Family Services, and Anita Smith, Assistant Director were
present for the update.
Mr. Caldwell presented the Board
with the following report from the last “day in the life” series
being conducted at the agency. This quarter it was information
gathered by a public assistance case manager on Monday, December
1, 2009:
He then presented the 4th
Quarter report as follows:
He stated that there has been a
quick increase in Food Stamps and Medicaid over the last 90
days. Child support collections are down 7%. All related to
the economy. In July 2008 $230,000 was paid out in food stamp
assistance. In February of 2009, $345,000 was paid out. A
tremendous incline over the last 8 months. There are about 1800
families currently receiving food assistance. He stated that
the President’s new stimulus plan includes and increase in food
stamp assistance by 13%.
He presented further charts for the
Board’s review as follows to better illustrate the above report:
He next discussed issues relating
to the Governors Proposed Budget. He stated that they are taking
testimony yet this week and next. Dean Sparks, Executive
Director of Lucas County Children Services, has been called to
testify regarding the budget cuts. So far the State is proposing
a 43% cut in TANF allocation, which will affect child welfare,
public assistance and child support. Since July, Medicaid
recipients are up 59%, food assistance is up 30% and the
government cut that program by 19%. They will have to determine
which prevention contracts and PRC plan to cut. He won’t know
for sure until the budget is passed. He noted that historically
when prevention contracts are cut, there is an increase in other
services.
Mr. Caldwell stated that he is
hoping that the Board will give them flexibility of the funds
provided by the County to move them from fund to fund, to assist
in the areas needed most. Commissioner Genter stated concerns
regarding appropriations out of one area to provide for a
mandated service that the appropriations may not be there when
needed to provide for that service. It will need to be looked
at by the Court and Prosecutor also. Commissioner Genter stated
to present it to he County Administrator for direction.
