EMA/HOMELAND SECURITY

JOURNAL ENTRY

In the matter of approving & entering into Technical Rescue )Response contracts effective April 10, 2012 – December 31, ) January 18, 20122016 with various political subdivisions )

Tom Kelley, Director – LC EMA/Homeland Security stated this team is made up of both HazMat and Urban Search and Rescue (USAR) capabilities, which in addition to hazardous materials response, include trench and confined space, rope/high angle, wide area search and structural collapse rescue. There will be 2 completely trained teams, equipped with hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of equipment, both at a minim cost to each jurisdiction. Each jurisdiction pays to support the team based upon a charge per person based on the 2010- census figures. Most significant changes were that Elyria and Lorain have now become a part of the county teams, so this truly a countywide effort. Many locations in the State of Ohio have adopted our response contracts and protocols. This is an accomplishment that we can all be proud of. On behalf of the Emergency Management Agency, The Lorain County Local Emergency Planning Committee, and the contract committee, we thank you for your continued support.

Commissioner Kokoski asked about emergency notification system. Mr. Kelly stated that a grant is available annually which applied for and will allow for more text messages, reverse 911, code red because the system now is very inadequate.

In the matter of approving the Lorain County Solid Waste )Management District to submit an application on behalf of)Ross Environmental Services, Inc. to ODNR for a 2012 ) January 18, 2012Market Development Grant )

WHEREAS, Keith Bailey, Director of Lorain County Solid Waste Management District by memo dated January 9, 2012 submitted the following;

“The Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) allows any business or non-profit to apply for funding through a sponsor that will serve as the grant applicant through their 2012 Market Development Grant. The District has received an application from Ross Environmental Services, Inc. (Ross) located in Elyria, Ohio. Ross is requesting grant funds in the amount of $250,000 and providing a match of $250,000.

ODNR has targeted certain plastics as a priority material for recovery from the waste stream and re-direction to manufacturing in Ohio to the greatest extent possible. Many of these streams are inadequately separated with various polymer types co-mingled thus diminishing their economic value. Plastics can also become contaminated with residual materials such as silage baling plastic in agricultural operations.

Ross has developed a system which can convert mixed contaminated plastic into gas and oil with a minimum of material to be landfilled. They have committed technical resources to evaluate the process, review P&ID’s, evaluate work flows, design a new building and evaluate potential off-site warehouse space for the process.

This project will assist Ohio in becoming more energy sustainable since these polymers are traditionally landfilled. This system is expensive to acquire and grant funds are need to accelerate the development of this project. When in full operation the pyrolysis process will employ thirty-one (31) people.

The District would be a sponsor only for this grant. No District funds would be expended on this project. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me at 5442.”

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, by the Lorain County Board of Commissioners that based upon the memo dated January 9, 2012 from Keith Bailey, LCSWMD Director, we hereby approve the filing of the 2012 Market Development Grant application as outlined above.

FURTHER BE IT RESOLVED, we hereby authorize Keith Bailey, to execute as Grantee Authorized Official.

E. COMMISSIONERS REPORT

Commissioner Kokoski said she spoke with Auditor Mark Stewart and Craig Snodgrass and they have an idea that would save money by absorbing the Board of Revisions.

Auditor Stewart stated that he would absorb the Board of Revisions into his real estate assessment fund and combine the resources of the Prosecutors office if his budget is restored $200,000 that was cut in the budget this year.He stated the Auditors office traditionally does not pay for Board of Revisions and the Prosecutors office does the appeal work, he stated he could absorb it all through real estate fund. Commissioner Kalo said Prosecutor Will assigns to Revisions. Auditor Stewart said the Civil department took a hit and the real estate could pay for this position and by doing so it would save $172,000 from general fund and will do long term. Commissioner Kalo said this would be just like the Tax Map Department from Engineer office, Auditor Stewart said yes.Commissioner Kokoski said maybe the Commissioners would restore the $101,000 saving $100,000 but not the $72,000 because this is prosecutor’s fund. Auditor Stewart asked where the $200,000 cut came from. Commissioner Kokoski said no one from the Auditors Office would attend the budget hearings that wee held and it was an arbitrary number. Auditor Stewart said commissioner’s budget was not cut. Budget Director Hobart stated yes it was; building grounds reduced $50,000, custodial, planning and the quarters for the pays were split 4 ways. County Administrator Cordes said the Commissioners staff was cut as ordered and we also shut office service.

Commissioner Kokoski said she does not have a problem restoring $100,000 and have the Board of Revisions be paid by Auditors real estate fund but not the $70,000 from Prosecutors and this would be something Auditor and Prosecutor would have to work out.Commissioner Williams said he was kept out of this meeting and received this information on January 13 so therefore he will remove himself.Commissioner Kalo said he meet with Auditor and spoke with Prosecutor.

Auditor Stewart said the Auditors office is working with other departments to get the bills paid but if the cut is not restored bills will not be paid.

Commissioner Williams asked County Administrator Cordes when he was notified. Mr. Cordes said he was informed by Commissioner Kokoski yesterday. Commissioner Kokoski said is it all or noting, will restore $100,000 and work out later. Auditor Stewart said yes, but we are all trying to work together this is what the public wants. Commissioner Williams said there is a deficit next year of $105 million. Auditor Stewart asked where Commissioner Williams keeps getting the $10.5 million number. Commissioner Kokoski and Kalo said they believe it will be lower. Commissioner Williams said the numbers are early based on state budget. Auditor Stewart said the Commissioners have done a good job.

32

Commissioner Kokoski believes the revenue is low, sales tax is up, interest rates are low, Commissioner Kalo said revenue is around $4-5 million, casino revenue will not be in July and only get around $700,000.

Commissioner Williams will was not informed accordingly of this therefore he will not vote.Discussion continued and the following resolution was adopted:


In the matter of restoring the Auditor’s Office 2012 annual )Appropriation in the amount not to exceed $101,881.80 and )he will absorb the Lorain County Board of Revisions Office)into his real estate assessment fund ) January 18, 2012

WHEREAS, the County Auditors’ annual appropriation for 2012 was cut by $200,000; and

WHEREAS, the County Auditor has agreed to absorb the Board of Revisions budget into his real estate assessment fund; and

WHEREAS, by doing so this will save money coming from the general fund and he has requested that his budget be restored;

WHEREAS, he states that the amount is around $172,000, which includes the Board of Revisions and a Prosecutor.

NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, after discussion the Commissioners has agreed to restore the Auditor’s annual appropriation in the amount not to exceed $101,881.80.

FURTHER BE IT RESOLVED, the Auditors Office will pay the Board of Revisions Office through the real estate assessment fund.

Motion by Kokoski, seconded by Kalo to adopt Resolution. Ayes: Kokoski & Kalo / Nay: WilliamsMotion carried. ________________________(discussion was held on the above)

JOURNAL ENTRY

Commissioners Kalo said he attended a meeting at JVS with Recorder Nedwick and Farm Bureau about oil/gas boring and said residents should check their deeds and hopefully the powerpoint will be available on the Farm Bureau website.

Commissioner Kalo was elected as Secretary to NOACA and a report was given on interbelt bridge, money has been reduced and Wellington Railroad overpass has been pushed back from 2013 to 2018.

Commissioner Kalo congratulated all the MLK events that were held.Commissioner Kalo along with EMA/Homeland Security Director Kelley attended the gas leak and there was 116 gallons and he stated

the EPA director was very pleased with this county on how quickly all response teams came together and clean up continues to hopefully get residents back in their homes and Sunoco needs a place to haul the contaminated dirt, possibly looking behind FBO. He stated that Representative Boose has asked the Governor for some clean up money.

Commissioner Kalo said the solid waste plan is out for ratification, Solid Waste Director Bailey said yes it has to be done by March 3 and has put together a bullet point of all the changes. Commissioner Kalo said the revenue has been reduced by $402,000, Mr. Bailey said this is due to the recession and losing waste but Allied did pick up Cuyahoga for 3 years and have loan of $488,000 there should be a $1.9 million carryover.

Commissioner Williams attended his 1st NOACA meeting Friday, what fun with the snow and driving downtown Cleveland it took 1.45 hours to get there rather than 30 minutes.

Commissioner Williams said he had a meeting with the IT staff on January 17 and he asked each to come up with ideas to save money as work as a team building project with the cell phones and placed Ernie Smith in charge of this. He stated that all departments agreed to look except one public official.

Commissioner Williams also said the annual cable cost for county departments is $15,927 and from general fund $2,738 for Commissioners and $839 for Detention Home. He would suggest eliminating Commissioners cable as well as DH and if they need it they can pay for it. Commissioner Kokoski said she will take this under consideration because it was here until after the 911 disaster occurred, no one knew what was happening. County Administrator Cordes said the internet froze; we had a black and white TV with a coat hanger trying to get the news. Commissioner Williams said a lot of people do not have cable and we should lead by example, get rid of it and Prosecutors office used the cable for a trial that was on court TV several years back and they would request to keep at least basic cable.

Commissioner Williams said he was not going to get rid of video tapping just eliminate the editing, $25,000 can buy a bullet proof vest, support 4h, etc. He spoke with IT Director Smith and stated there was a proposal to do live strumming for around $900/year to place on cable and achieve on website. Commissioner Kalo has asked about live streaming but website is not the most technology advance or personnel is needed. County Administrator Cordes said he would get quotes, Commissioner Williams said have live vide with 3 commissioners and no editing. Commissioner Kalo said he would like the issue cleanup with the Prosecutor Office according to the paper. Commissioner Williams said it should go out for bid and believes that someone can push the buttons and would suggest that the Commissioners assistant take rotation in doing so or even have Clerk and County Administrator do. ___________________(discussion was held on the above)
